Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 33 Good day

After everything was sold out, Gu Yu kept staring at Li Dequan, fearing that the money would be lost or that there would be thieves, so he felt awkward walking.

The two of them went to buy some things again. They didn't have any food, so they bought a bag of coarse rice and a few catties of better japonica rice for Mrs. Wang. They bought a chicken for 28 Wen. After doing the math, Li Dequan was a bit tired when he saw Gu Yu's appearance, "Gu Yu, why don't you go and eat something before going back?"

Gu Yu counted the money, shook her head instinctively, then looked at Li Dequan and felt a little distressed, she was carrying things on the way here, and this time she was carrying rice and chickens on the way back, she didn't feel comfortable letting her father go back on an empty stomach, so she came up with an idea : "Father, why don't we buy two pieces of rice cakes and eat them all the way, only two pennies."

Li Dequan looked at Gu Yu's appearance, "Why don't you just eat a rice cake for Gu Yu's rice noodles, and you can get there within a few miles."

Gu Yu shook his head, went to buy two rice cakes on his own, ate half of it himself, and gave the rest to Li Dequan, "Father, eat more, I want to save my stomach for chicken soup at night."

Li Dequan only swallowed one piece, and gave the rest to Gu Yu, and the two hurried on their way.

Since everything was sold out, Li Dequan was so happy that he talked a lot more, saying that he would go to the mountains to cut more trees before planting rice seedlings, and then he would get the remaining wood out of the barrels earlier, so that he could save some of the money after selling it. , so that Xia Zhi can eat custard when eating, and the money Jingzhe needs to go to a private school will probably be enough in autumn, adding two unlined clothes to Xiaomanguyu.

Gu Yu listened to Li Dequan talking about these things, but he didn't think of him alone, and felt a little emotional.She once again realized the importance of money. There are too many places where money is needed in the family, so there is still hope for saving it like this, but she feels that it is too slow to get money like this, although Li He has no face these days. , who knows when she will come up with some way to ask for money, so thinking about it, Gu Yu looked at Li Dequan, thinking that it would be too unsafe to put the money with him.

The road is not far away, and we will soon reach the river. Li Dequan saw some water coming in from the field, and wanted to go in and have a look. He didn't know where to put the rice bag on his body for a while, and he was reluctant to look at the ground. Gu Yu took the small pole Put it side by side with the big pole on the ground, put the rice bag on it, Gu Yu supported it, and Li Dequan went into the field.

All of a sudden, the smell of mud started to rise. Gu Yu was bored watching there. Li Dequan was not very skilled in doing farm work. He opened two holes in the field ridge to let the water flow out slowly, and then wiped the unleveled areas with his feet. Ping, some fire fertilizer has been soaked, and there is not much water in the field. When the fire fertilizer was picked up, it was put in piles in the field. There are two thin white strips in the place where the fertilizer has been piled up. She didn't pay attention to it at first, she was a bit bored staying there, seeing the white stripe piercing through a pile of dark things, "Father, what is that?"

Li Dequan has already completed the movement of his feet. The rested ridge is very neat. Occasionally, a ball of half-dried grass falls down. At this time, Li Dequan picks up a ball of grass and throws it on the road where Gu Yu is standing, bringing up a ball of mud Looking at what Gu Yu was pointing at, he also picked up one and threw it aside: "This is a loach, it's not slippery, it must have been killed by fire dung."

Gu Yu didn't care about the rice anymore, and grabbed the loach, "Father! Isn't this a loach? Why don't you take it home and make soup for your mother?"

Li Dequan's eyes widened, as if he didn't know Gu Yu: "Gu Yu don't talk nonsense, how can this loach eat mud? If you want to eat fish, when Dad has time, he will catch a handful of small fish in the stream for you to eat. .But those things are not easy to get, and you may not get much in a day, and you don’t have that kind of work.”

Gu Yu suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, and confirmed again, "Father, don't people in our village eat this loach?"

Li Dequan replied with certainty: "It smells like mud and is as slippery as a snake. How can anyone eat this!"

Gu Yu's heart was about to jump out, staring at the field, thinking, why didn't I think of this, wouldn't this vast field be my dining table in the future?What else is there to worry about?Staring at each other, it was as if the loaches in the field were floating up one by one. She picked them up with Jing Zhe and the others and carried them home in buckets...

Li Dequan shook Gu Yu: "What's the matter? What's so interesting about staring at this muddy field?"

Gu Yu smiled and thought about convincing Li Dequan not to be in a hurry, so he shook his head, "Father, I was wondering how much rice can be grown in such a large field, and we won't buy rice when the time comes."

Li Dequan was washing his feet with water at the head of the field, looking at the rice field with a smile, as if he saw the hope of the family, "I don't know this, how can you figure it out, but I think it should be enough for us to eat, After the rice is cut, it can be planted again. Our two paddy fields have three acres, so it should be no problem to plant it for half a year at a time."

Gu Yu followed Li Dequan's words, and thought of a way to get money, "Father, when our rice is harvested, there will be not only rice but also bran. We can raise pigs. Pigs are piggy banks in the village. When the time comes, we can raise pigs." days will be better.”

Li Dequan replied: "Yes, yes, our family, Gu Yu, is the best at living. Your sister is right, a little housekeeper."

The speaker is not interested in the listener, Gu Yu was awakened by Li Dequan's words. Although she is small now and her health is not very good, she can still manage a family, at least not because of her father's soft heart If they get to such a poor situation, if they manage themselves in the future, they will not only have confidence in their hearts, but also better manage the life of the family. They will not worry so much. Holding a small pole all the way, Gu Yu thought all the way, I feel more and more that my ideas are feasible.

In the yard, Gu Yu's family seemed to be celebrating a festival, filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Everything was sold, naturally she was happy, Mrs. Wang also went out to the main room to be with everyone on a rare occasion, Xia Zhi was there with her toothless mouth open, drooling non-stop, everything showed a good life signs.Li Dequan is killing chickens, Jing Zhe stays in the room and writes, Xiao Man sits on the side and embroiders, Wang is teasing Xia Zhi, and Gu Yu is the busiest person running around, lighting the fire, coming over and pinching Xia Zhi, occasionally looking at Xiao Man's embroidery .

Among them, Gu Yu always had a nervous joy in his heart, thinking that in the future, he could often eat loach at home, it is estimated that Xiaoman's complexion will be better, and Li Dequan's work will be more powerful. Let them listen to him, or She has to be a housekeeper herself, she firmly thought, yes, a housekeeper!

It will be time to eat soon, Gu Yu called around: "Mother, eat, sister eat, brother, eat."

While calling, she went to knock on Jing Zhe's door, the door was ajar, she pushed it, and saw Jing Zhe and An Jinxuan were writing at the desk, when Gu Yu came, both of them were startled, Jing Zhe covered the things on the table Stop, "Gu Yu, have you eaten?"

Gu Yu wanted to see what the hell they were up to, but Jing Zhe was obviously guilty, so what did he write?She didn't ask them, and continued: "Brother Jinxuan, let's have dinner together today. My father told me that we bought chicken."

An Jinxuan shook his head, saying that he would not go, and it was not easy for Li Dequan to come to invite him. He kept insisting that he had eaten it. When Gu Yu and the others had no way to eat as a family, he took out a piece of dry biscuit and chewed it slowly. , looking out from the open door occasionally, with a lonely expression on his face.
