The strongest peasant girl in Xiuse Jinyuan

Chapter 103 The third son of the Gu family (2)
Wei Changjue didn't want to keep people waiting for a long time, so he hurried to wake Xiaoluotou up after boiling the wash water.

She walked to the bed, only to see the little radish still curled up in a ball, sleeping soundly under the quilt.

"Chang Yu, wake up." Wei Changju called him softly, while shaking his small body with his hand.

Little Luobotou was woken up, and he stretched out his hands, kicked his feet, closed his eyes, and stretched comfortably.

"Sister." He slowly opened his sleepy eyes, and then his eyeballs gurgled, a little dull, he noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room, there seemed to be a few more people, hey, brother Su Cheng is also in the room like this .

"Brother Su Cheng, have you come to pick up my sister and me so early? Chang Yu hasn't woken up yet, and hasn't eaten yet." Little Luobotou looked at Su Cheng, speaking in a lazy voice, obviously not awake yet.

Su Cheng looked at Wei Changyu dressing him, and said, "Brother Su Cheng came so early, not to pick up Chang Yu for a carriage, but to go up the mountain with Chang Yu."

Hearing that Su Cheng was also going to the mountains, little luotou's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and his little face immediately showed excitement.

"Oh, that's great." Little Luobotou applauded, clapping his hands, "Brother Su Cheng is also going to the mountains. The mountains are fun. There are birds chirping and chirping, which is really nice."

After a few efforts, Wei Changjue helped Xiaoluotou get dressed and tied up his shoes.

After washing his face with a basin of hot water, he locked the door and led Su Cheng and others to Guoziling.

Early in the morning, before dawn, the weeds on the side of the road were still covered with ticking morning dew. When a group of people walked out of the mountain temple, they could only vaguely see the road under their feet. A few cock crows and dogs bark.

Presumably, the dog's ears are sensitive, and it heard the stranger's footsteps, so it barked twice.

Early in the morning, every household in the village is still shutting their doors and sleeping soundly. As long as no thief breaks into their yard, they don't bother to care about the chicken barking or the dog barking.

The mountain temple is some distance away from other farmers in the village. Wei Changjue and others went all the way into the mountain, but they didn't meet a single person on the road.

After entering the forest, the road was not easy to walk, so Su Cheng took the initiative to carry the little radish on his back.

He is tall and strong, carrying a four or five-year-old child is not a big deal at all, and he carried it lightly and left.

Wei Changjue took the lead to lead the way, Su Cheng followed behind her, and the eight rough men followed behind with hoes on their shoulders.

The little radish head obediently attached to Su Cheng's back, and firmly hugged Su Cheng's arm with both hands: "Brother Su Cheng, thank you for carrying Changyu on your back."

Little Luobo, with a sweet head and a sweet mouth, kept talking on Su Cheng's back.

Su Cheng didn't talk much at all, and with such an older baby, he couldn't find a topic to talk about, so he could only tease a few words at most. He just couldn't stop, and he smiled when he heard it.

It was still too early, the light in the forest was too dark, and it was difficult to walk in the mountains. The group of people walked slowly, and it took a long time to reach the purple taro forest.

When they arrived at the purple taro forest, Su Cheng put the little radish head down on the ground, Wei Changjue cut a few taro leaves, shook off the dew on them, picked a flat piece of ground to spread the taro leaves, let the little radish head sit on the ground to play, Tell him a few words not to run too far.

Little Luobotou smiled and pecked at her sister's head: "Don't worry, sister, Chang Yu will be obedient."

Only then did Wei Changqu feel relieved and ready to go to work.

She asked everyone to wait for a while, and she used a sickle to cut out a piece of taro forest first, and cut off the thick and wide leaves of purple taro, so that she could hoe later.

In a short time, Wei Changju cut down a piece of taro forest, and Su Cheng helped to carry out the cut taro leaves and throw them aside.

At this time, Wei Changjue borrowed a hoe from one of the rough men, and dug out two purple taro plants as a demonstration, and said: "If you want to dig like this, put the hoe a little farther away from the rhizome, and dig it lightly, and it will come out." .”

Although the eight thick men in front of me have done a lot of farm work, digging purple taro is a skilled job. If the angle of the hoe is wrong, the purple taro in the soil will be split into two pieces by the hoe.

If these purple taro are dug into two petals, or if the skin is scratched, it will not last long.

After the eight thick men saw clearly, they all nodded one after another, and then started to work.

Thinking of finishing the job at hand, there will be three hundred wen wages to pay, everyone is very motivated, once the hoe goes down, and then gently planed with the tip of the hoe, a few purple taro rolls out of the soil come out.

Wei Changjue stood aside and watched for a while, seeing that the eight thick men barely dug up the purple taro, so he felt relieved, of course, it is inevitable to dig up one or two occasionally.

Next, the eight rough men were in charge of digging purple taro, Su Cheng was in charge of putting the dug purple taro into sacks, and Wei Changju continued to cut off the remaining taro leaves.

Little Luobotou played by himself for a while, and saw that everyone was working, so he couldn't play anymore.

"Brother Su Cheng, I'll help you." He spread his short legs and ran over. The ground in the mountain was uneven, and his small body was shaking. If there was a thatch under his feet, he would definitely fall down. .

Wei Changjue was bending over to cut taro leaves, when he heard the footsteps of the little radish head, he looked for his reputation, and saw her trembling for a while, and hurriedly said: "Chang Yu, run slowly."

If you fall in the mountains, it's not like wrestling at home. You just pat the dust on your body and get up. There are not many stones or tree stumps in the mountains. Bao, I also have to fall with a black nose and a swollen face.

"Sister, don't worry, Chang Yu won't wrestle."

Wei Changqu was worried to death, but Little Luobotou answered her while running and smiled at her.

People say that the scars are good, and they forget the pain. My little radish head is even more so. The bump on the forehead has not completely disappeared, and the pain has been forgotten.

Su Cheng saw Wei Changyu running towards him, so he got up quickly to give him a hand.

"Brother Su Cheng, let me help you." Little Luobotou squatted beside Su Cheng, and was about to let go of his hands to pick up the purple taro: "Put the purple taro in a bag, Chang Yu will do it."

This person is small, with small hands, and he can only pick up a purple taro once he stretches out his hand, and put it into a sack.

Su Cheng saw that he was doing well, although his movements were a bit slow, but he was not doing a disservice or making trouble, so he let him go.

After working for a while, less than one-third of the purple taro was dug up. At this time, the sky was bright, the light in the forest was better, and the hoe was coming soon.

After cutting a large piece of taro forest, Wei Changju put the sickle back on his waist, looked at Su Cheng and said, "Brother Su Cheng, I'm going to take a walk in the forest, you stay here and guard."

All the leaves in the purple taro forest had been cut, and there was no extra hoe. It was enough for Su Cheng to pack the bags by himself. While it was still early, she went around the mountain twice to find some pine fungi.
