Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 135 Two years later
Drive away the line of duty, and the things are changing.

The time of more than two years is long and long, hundreds of days, short and short, but it is just a snap of the fingers.

If someone looks at Taozhuang from a high place at this time, he will still see the stretches of peach forests growing next to the river, with thatched and tiled houses strewn about, seemingly chaotic, but if you look closely, there are still differences. The alleys are deep and shallow, and the muddy roads are still gray. Except for some moss on the walls on both sides, it seems that there is not much change.

This is the sun and the moon of the Zhuang family. Year after year, they live the same life. Except that they are getting old, everything else seems to be the same. At most, the house is better and the food is better.They are all real people, so they would not expect to suddenly see bean seedlings lined with tiled houses and forests. As long as there is wine and meat during the Chinese New Year, and they are full and clothed at ordinary times, and the family is safe and sound, then There is a little bit more, that is, when the grown-up children can start a family, there is no longer any dissatisfaction.

The yard of the second uncle's house is still the same, the front yard and the back yard come in handy. Li Dequan mentioned several times to build a tile house, but it was delayed every time. Now the family still lives with the second uncle. , more and more like a family.

At this time, Gu Yu stayed at home and was tidying up the clothes she had worn before. She felt a little emotional as she unpacked them. The days seemed to pass too fast. If you can't wear the clothes, you can't wear them.While tearing it apart, Gu Yu thought, could these old clothes be evidence of the passage of time?

She felt that it was a pity to take it apart. Her 12-year-old body began to stretch. These clothes can be worn, and the shoulders are all right, but they are shorter. Xiao He is also a little taller. No one wears them. It was ready, so I had to dismantle it to see if the material could be used for other purposes. It could be used as a cloth pocket, or if it didn't work, it could be used as a shoe sole.Anyway, I can’t waste it. My family is just passable now. The thresher business is only two times a year. It is a seasonal business. , It is too wasteful, it is not the duty of living.

Xiao He is also embroidering next to Gu Yu's.Under Xiaoman's patient teaching, she has already started to embroider more complicated stitches. After she embroiders, she sells them in the embroidery shop and saves them for money. The things Xiaohe embroiders are only inferior to Xiaoman's and Wang's embroidery. It's just a few pennies less, Xiaohe is quite satisfied with the current life.

Their family has not raised the money to build a tile house, and the other end still comes here from time to time, and all the words are not nice. For family affairs, under Chen Yongyu's and Jiang's opinions, they neither built a house nor lived in the old wooden shed. quiet.

Seeing that Gu Yu was tearing down her old clothes, Xiao He sighed while doing so, and smiled, "Who told you to grow up faster, I think Brother Jingzhe and Brother Jinxuan are also a lot taller and thinner, right? If you want to take it apart, you can take it apart. After the dismantling, there are still some on this side and the other side. Anyway, I don’t know how many years it will take for the summer solstice to wear it. I don’t know if it will be rotten by then. It’s better to take it apart and do it. become something else."

Gu Yu stuck out her tongue, squinted at Xiao He's embroidery, thought to herself that she couldn't catch up with it, and felt a little ashamed for a while, Xiao He didn't know this from the beginning, but she could bear her temper, unlike I thought about the fairy fruit for a while and went to the town again, but I couldn't sit down and embroider.If you say this by yourself at this time, Xiao He will be appointed like the teacher in that private school and say: Gu Yu, Gu Yu, you just don’t want to learn. Look at me, it’s not impossible when I first started. Embroidery is better, mainly due to hard work, slowly grinding, there is nothing that cannot be done...

Thinking of this, Gu Yu shrugged his shoulders, just in time to see Chen Jiangsheng walking away into the room, like a savior, and following Xiao He's words just now, "Well, it's not that there are people who don't grow taller, or that they can't wear the clothes they used to wear!"

After Gu Yu and Xiao He laughed, Chen Jiangsheng didn't know what they were laughing at, so he also laughed along with him.This year, Jingzhe grew the tallest, surpassing Dalin, but she was a little thinner, and looked like a weak scholar. Just a little bit of sturdiness, just adding these little bits together, the two of them become very different. Chen Jiangsheng is a simple person himself, but he hasn't lost weight when he grows up a bit. Overall it looks bigger than before.

Chen Yongyu's family not only has the main house, but also the east wing and the west wing. Xiaohe and the others live in the east wing. She and Dalin are also diligent. The Chen family refuses to collect rent, so Dalin and Xiaohe sweep the yard every day to choose Shui cleaned up the house, and started doing any work without adults opening their mouths. Not only did Chen Jiangsheng get a companion, but he also became more diligent and neat in a subtle way. Mrs. Chen was originally a straightforward person. It hurts more and more like my own child.

Chen Jiangsheng watched Xiao He embroider, pointing and asking, Xiao He knew that he didn't understand anything, but he said patiently, how to connect stitches, how to count stitches, What is rolling a needle? After hearing a few words, Chen Jiangsheng left the door in general interest.

Gu Yu was holding a bean green singlet in his hand, he liked it very much, he was reluctant to take it off, turned around and went back to his room to put it on for himself, the size was suitable, if in modern times it could be worn as a short dress, it just reached the navel, In this place, she absolutely dared not, she regretted taking it off, threw it on the pile of cloth heads, and didn't have the heart to take off her clothes, so she simply came out of the yard.

The weather in the yard is good, and the size of the vegetable garden has expanded a bit. It is early summer, and the sun is still mild. Under Xu Qinshi's care, the vegetable garden has grown verdant and verdant, green and red. Red and white, it is very comfortable to look in through the fence, not to mention the rose flowers planted by Gu Yu and Xiaohe around the fence, the red and red clusters are pleasing to the eye.

The peach tree on the other side of the yard has grown small peaches, and the fluffy fluff is very cute. The chicken coop has already been placed in the backyard. Under the tree is a seesaw, which Gu Yu asked Li Dequan to make specially. It is very small and short. Some wooden horses and swings are just right for Xia Zhi and Xiaohan and Dahan to play on weekdays.At this time, Xia Zhi, with his little hands behind his back, was directing a pair of twins to play on the seesaw. Although the three of them were about the same age, Xia Zhi was quite strong, and now he was over three years old. The three of them laughed happily while playing.

Sitting beside him was a woman with a big belly, Jiang Shi.Chen Jiangsheng was an only child before, and the Jiang family always wanted to have more children to be more lively. After a few years, there was no movement, so he gave up. How could he know that there was another one? There are rumors outside that Xiao He and her have snatched Hua Xun's head Yes, and now that the family is very popular, there will naturally be children and so on.Chen Yongyu was so happy that she would not let her touch anything, so that she would be able to support her.

At this time, Mrs. Jiang was chatting with Mrs. Xu Qin. Mrs. Xu Qin originally said that she would return home after Mrs. Xu had confinement. Who knew that her eldest son, Xu Shijie, who was in the Zhuangzi, would also go to help her second son, Xu Shihe, fight. Li restaurant, the whole family lives in the town, but she is restless, living in the town and no one chats, and they don't let her do anything, so she just stayed at the other side of the town for two days , and lived in Taozhuang for a while, anyway, Gu Yu's family has an ox cart, and they go to the town every three days, so it is easy for her to go out.It's just that she said she wanted to bring her nephew, and it's normal to live there for a month or two. Besides, this pair of twins is really cute.

Seeing the three boys smiling happily, Gu Yu also came to watch them play on the seesaw. Xia Zhi is very cute, and when he saw Gu Yu coming, he opened his arms and rushed towards him, "Sister——"

Gu Yu patted his head, and saw that he looked like Li Dequan with a tiger head.At this time, he was wearing a short gray jacket and blue cloth trousers, and Xiao Manna's shoes on his feet, which were different from the mille-soled cloth shoes worn by adults. The soles were not so dense, and the soles were much softer.It's just that this kid is not yet three years old, but he is chubby. He always smiles when he sees everyone. He can say a few words to anyone he knows or not, and his mouth is sweet.

Li He and Old Li also felt sorry for him, they liked to bring Xia Zhi with them when they went to visit relatives, and they always came back with their eyes narrowed because of the cold.Chen's stomach hasn't moved yet, and every time he sees that Li He has something good to save for Xia Zhi, he will say a few words, but then come over and ask Gu Yu to get some flowers when he is free. Xun's water was given to her to drink. It has been a long time since she entered the door. If she is not pregnant, people outside will not speak well.

Da Han and Xiao Han are smaller, and not as fat as Xia Zhi. The two of them were laughing happily on the small seesaw, and they were also calling Xia Zhi, "Brother, brother—look, look!"

There are a few of them making noise, the yard is very lively, and there are also young wives with babies in the village who like to come over with their children in their arms. Who makes this yard have not only seesaws but also wooden horses carved by Li Dequan under the trees in the yard, with a semicircle at the bottom Similarly, children can sit on it and sway. What's more, there are things around them that can't fall. Put the children on it, and adults can free up their hands to embroider things on the soles of the shoes.

Gu Yu looked at this scene and shook his head, thinking that his family is running a kindergarten, right?

Jiang Shi was teasing Da Han and Xiao Han again, "Which of you is the elder brother!"

Unexpectedly, the two children misunderstood the meaning, pointing straight at Xia Zhi, "He—"

Xia Zhi also pursed his lips very cooperatively at this time, and deliberately put on a stern face to pretend to be an adult, who knew that he was born with a smile, so he deliberately tensed up, and nodded towards Jiang's side to show his respect for the two. Jiang Shi and Xu Qin Shi laughed out loud because they agreed with what the younger brother said just now.

"Am I asking Dahan University or Xiaohan University?"

Dahan laughed, and called himself in a childish voice, Chen asked again, "Then you said that Dahan is big, why is it that there is Xiaohan before Dahan?"

Seeing that they didn't quite understand, Gu Yu said, "For example, let's celebrate the New Year first and then have the Dragon Boat Festival, that is, eat the rice cakes first and then eat the zongzi. In a few months, it will be the minor cold and then the great cold. Saving energy."

Originally, Gu Yu wanted to explain, but after he finished speaking, he became confused, and the three children were even more confused, and were at a loss for words.

But Xia Zhi didn't panic at all, and said with a sweet smile, "I know, go ask Second Auntie, anyway, whoever Second Aunt says is older will be older!"

"You boy!"

Suddenly, Dahan saw something bright in Xu Qinshi's hand, and went to grab it when he got off the seesaw. Xiaohan didn't know that there was no one on the other side, and he couldn't get up. He looked down at his feet and felt depressed. , mouth curled up wanting to cry.Xia Zhi sat across from him, originally Xia Zhi was chubby, Xiaohan couldn't get off the height, and he still couldn't play the seesaw, the two of them were dumbfounded.

Seeing the clothes that Da Han grabbed, Xu Qin was a little amused, "You want to take a look at everything, right? These are your brother's clothes."

Gu Yu saw that Xu Qinshi sewed the top and bottom hems of the clothes that Xia Zhi couldn't wear, and folded them together, and said: "When I change it for you to wear, you can make it longer and then let the hem out, it will be long enough." , what are you anxious about?"

Xia Zhi said, "Haha, I can still wear my clothes for the two of them, and the clothes of the two of them will be worn by the smaller one in Aunt Jiang's belly in the future!"

Xu Qinshi said angrily: "You boy, what do you think this material is made of? After wearing it year after year, it won't rot. In the end, it's all used for the soles of grandma's shoes!"

Xia Zhi put her fingers in her mouth, and affirmed Xu Qinshi's words, "That's fine, Aunt Jiang may have a younger sister in her stomach, so I can't wear them. The soles are the soles."

This kid doesn't like to be serious.

Jiang rubbed his belly and smiled, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, I see Jingzhe and Jinxuan like that, and I just want to have a son. If I can have the knowledge and ability of Jingzhe Jinxuan in the future, it's great, otherwise Someone like Da Lin who is diligent and sensible is fine, but it's a pity to look at Xiao He, Gu Yu, and Xiao Man, and I want a girl."

Xu Qinshi laughed, "Look at you, there's been no movement for so many years. If you are pregnant this time, you can ask for more. By then, you will have daughters and boys."

Jiang Shi was also a little funny, "That would be embarrassing. I don't care about Jiang Sheng's age. I would blush if I had it at this time. If I want a few more, I'm afraid Jiang Sheng will be in a few years." It's time to have a baby when we get married, it's hard to be a mother and a grandma at the same time, if it spreads, it will make people laugh!"

Speaking of this, the Jiang family and the Xu Qin family were discussing Dalin Jingzhe and Jinxuan Jiangsheng again, and they stopped laughing, and they were about to start getting engaged, so they had to pay more attention, and Xiaoman was about to turn fifteen. She is becoming more and more dignified, and in a few months she will be able to reach Ji. Once she goes out for a stop, she will be a slim and tall girl with a good temper and ability. She is not someone who has no opinions, but I don’t know how lucky the kid from that family is. married to go.

At this time, Jiang looked at the yard again, "The villages that are as old as Ji but not as important as Ji are not so serious about these things. There are also people who are engaged in eleven or twelve. There are also many people who are as big as Gu Yu..."

As soon as Gu Yu heard about herself, and it was such a sensitive topic, she felt a little incapable of accepting such a big engagement, so she hurriedly took the opportunity to leave, "I thought about it, since grandma's clothes can be shortened like this, My clothes are also reluctant to take apart, it takes a lot of effort to make clothes, anyway, my mother and sister have embroidered so many things at that time, and adding a piece, as long as the colors are well matched, and then sew one or two flowers, it is also If you can wear it, I'll go in and tell her."

Xu Qinshi pointed to Gu Yu's face, "You girl, you are just supercilious. Your Aunt Jiang just said a few sentences like this, and she didn't say that she wanted you to get engaged at this time, and she didn't say that she wanted you to go and be a daughter-in-law. , why did you blush!"

Gu Yu's face became more and more red, she didn't know what to say, so she turned to leave.

As soon as I turned around, I heard someone behind me panting and shouting in a loud and drawn out voice, "Big sister, happy event, great happy event—"
