Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 24 Human Face Peach Blossom
After getting up the next day, Gu Yu first ran over to see Xia Zhi.This Xia Zhi is really cute, curled up in Wang Shi's arms and slept soundly, her little nose moved and breathed, her little red lips moved occasionally, Gu Yu bowed her head and kissed him, and went out to cook.

She was yawning and lighting the fire, thinking about what she said to Xiaoman yesterday, there was another mouth in the family, she had better find a way to earn more money, when thinking of money, Gu Yu became anxious, it was hard work. Pots, however, did not sell very well. Every time I go to the market, I sell one or two. For this one or two, my father must go every market, saying that even though it is small, it is considered an income.

She sighed, if only she could do something about it.

March is here, and the red floor is flooded with water in the pond.

The peach blossoms have already bloomed, and the peach blossoms bloom in the yard bit by bit, but the peach blossoms next to the river in Zhuangzi are in patches, and the sky is full of red, not so fiery red, but like the sun After going down the mountain, the sunset glow with the lingering warmth seems to be smiling all spring.

On this day, Jing Zhe took a break from school and cleaned the yard after picking up the water. Gu Yu also had a lot of leisure time. Xiaoman moved a stool and embroidered things in the yard. Jing Zhe said to Gu Yu: "Gu Yu, let's go to the peach blossom forest together later. , It has been driving very well in the past few days, we rarely go out to play, so we can ask Dad to come back for dinner by the way."

Gu Yu nodded in agreement. Li Dequan went to the field under Chen Yongyu's guidance these days. He went to Chen's house to pick some fire fertilizer and put it in the field for retting. The field happened to be by the river. Gu Yu had other plans in mind. First, I can go to the field to see if my father is good at work, and at the same time recognize my own field. Second, I heard that there are still eight acres of sloping land by the river. I don’t know if I can plant something. Third, I also want to I want to go to see the peach blossoms. This village is called Taozhuang. It would be a waste if I don’t go there when it blooms. I think how I wished I could go out when I was sick. Besides, Xiaoman embroidered day and night. Things, I also want to take her out for a stroll.

Xiao Man just finished embroidering a piece of handkerchief, bit off the thread with her teeth, rubbed her eyes, and continued.She looked up and saw that Gu Yu had taken her embroidery stretcher, "Gu Yu, don't make trouble, I just embroidered one more piece, and it will be worth a wooden basin for Dad when I go to the next market."

Gu Yu chuckled, tilted his head and refused, "Father was tricked by someone, and a wooden basin costs at least fifteen cash. If dad finds a client who makes furniture, we will be fine. Sister, let's go and see the peach blossoms. My brother said that the peach grove was very beautiful, we didn’t go out much when we came back, so we asked Dad to come back for dinner, maybe we can pick up something.”

Jing Zhe also came to persuade, Xiaoman is still a girl at heart after all, she agreed with a smile, "Okay, I have to stay up for a while tonight."

So, the three brothers and sisters were ready to go out, and Jing Zhe went to look for An Jinxuan, but he couldn't find him, so he had to give up.At the door, I met Chen Jiangsheng who came to play again. Seeing that they were about to go out, they followed like a follower.

From a distance, I saw a brilliant pink, like clouds and brocades, as if they were piled together, as if there was nothing else between the sky and the earth, Gu Yu sighed, she had never seen such a lush flower.

When I got closer, I found that not every tree is so densely packed with flowers, but there are still some layers. It's just that the peach forest rises according to the terrain, and it looks as if it is piled up together to make it look as busy as it looks from a distance.

The forest is very lively, groups of children are running in it laughing and joking, the sound is not noisy, and there are also some people dressed as scholars, who seem to come from a far away place, look at the clothes It wouldn't be these dealers who were reciting poems against each other.In addition, some people who came home to eat with hoes on their shoulders also took a shortcut through the forest.

Gu Yu walked on the soft yellow ground, she was a little reluctant to step down, the early peach blossoms had already withered, like a layer of pink carpet, she couldn't bear to step on it, but Chen Jiangsheng couldn't figure out why, "Gu Yu, how did you get into the forest? The road will not go, look at you like that."

Gu Yu still walked cautiously, looking up at the flowers, biting her lip, her eyes were shining.

Jing Zhe looked at Gu Yu's blushing face, and could clearly see those thin hairs, his eyes flickered among the peach blossoms, and what he saw was a scene of peach blossoms with a human face, he was a little stunned, and gently He said, "Gu Yu is afraid that the flower will hurt if he steps on it."

Chen Jiangsheng laughed out loud, stretched out his hand and shook it, and the flower fell down. He showed a naughty look: "Hey, a flower is just a flower, does it still hurt? Your brain is broken! Haha."

Seeing his appearance, Gu Yu scolded Xiao Man in her heart, and said to Xiao Man, "Sister, it would be great if I could also take Xia Zhi out to have a look."

Xiao Man also meant the same thing, "It's a pity that after my mother is confinement, the flowers should be gone."

Chen Jiangsheng ran over and said, "At that time, there will be no peach blossoms, but little peaches. What's so good about peach blossoms? You can't eat them!"

Although half of Gu Yu's mind is on peaches, she just thought about the scene where these peach blossoms have all turned into peaches, wouldn't she be able to eat a lot of peaches by then...

It's just that Chen Jiangsheng said so, but she felt that he was not sensible, and completely forgot what she was thinking just now. She glared at Chen Jiangsheng, crossed her waist and said, "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat! You foodie!"

Chen Jiangshi looked at Gu Yu like that, scratched his head, and smiled innocently.

Seeing their appearance, Xiao Man smiled, "Brother, Gu Yu looks like a daughter-in-law who disciplines men!"

Jing Zhe didn't know what she was thinking, she was staring at Tao Hua in a daze, Xiao Man pushed him a little before she came to her senses and asked, "What?"

Just as Xiaoman was about to open his mouth, Gu Yu hurriedly interjected, "My sister said that I will bring my mother and Xiao Xiazhi out to eat peaches after my confinement is over!"

Jing Zhe chuckled, "Who said that mother can eat peaches after confinement, the peaches at that time are bitter and astringent, and still tender."

Xiaoman has the demeanor of a grown-up girl. Originally, the girl in this village began to ask a matchmaker to get married at the age of twelve or thirteen. For the rest of the day, she stayed at home and embroidered dowry. Although Xiaoman was not yet old, she was almost the same .At this time, seeing how brilliant the peach blossoms are, she couldn't help reaching out to pick them up, "I'll pick a bunch back and ask my brother to draw a flower shape, it will definitely look good when embroidered."

Chen Jiangsheng hurriedly stopped in front, opened his hands, and squatted halfway, like a bandit who collects money to buy roads, "No one is allowed to pick a single flower, and peaches will be born at that time, and they will be distributed to the family. If they are all picked, there will be no peaches to eat." , the rules set by my father."

Gu Yu said again: "If you don't pick it, you won't pick it. If you don't pick it, my brother can still draw flowers, hum!"

Just as he was talking, he saw Li Dequan passing by the forest in a hurry, only holding the hoe and the bamboo basket in his hand, and looked a little flustered.

Gu Yu happily shouted: "Father, father, we are here."

Li Dequan also just stopped for a while, "Hey, go back after you have a look. There is a commotion at your grandma's side. Just now the third master called for someone to call, so I'll go over right now!"
