Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 68
Seeing a lot of people gathered around, the man said with a playful smile, "Everyone go get busy, don't listen to this little girl's nonsense."

When Gu Yu saw many people, she was not afraid of him at all, "I'm not screaming, what are you doing around my sister like a fly?"

Some people in the crowd had already recognized that this man was Tao Dazhuang, a rogue in the Zhuangzi who settled down in the village. He was always sneaking around and molesting his daughter-in-law on weekdays, so they started to make some remarks.

Tao Dazhuang still wanted to quibble, "This little girl's voice is so clear, I'm picking peaches, and you are just yelling here. Besides, your sister picked peaches on this tree, and I picked them here. They are all from Zhuangzi. Are you only allowed to pick peaches? Is it not allowed for me to make some money?"

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Gu Yu sneered, "Am I yelling? Is it me? Your mouth knows how to spew manure! Who was yelling at your brother and sister just now? You really don't feel shy. My brother's name is Jingzhe. Counting!"

As soon as Gu Yu finished speaking, Tao Dazhuang wanted to say something else. Normally, big guys would not be pleasing to the eye, but at this time he also took the opportunity to make a fuss, "Da Zhuang, you don't even look at your own virtue. If it weren't for Gu Yu, we would Where can I earn wages!"

"Tell him so much, I lost an old hen yesterday, and it might have entered his stomach!"

Seeing the villagers pointing their fingers at Tao Dazhuang one after another, Gu Yu was very satisfied with the power of the people he had mobilized, but Tao Dazhuang still stared at Gu Yu, "Little girl will look good with you next time!"

Gu Yu snorted, I'm not scared too much!Is it possible that you are still afraid that you are a rascal, Gu Yu looked at the dirty look on his body, and said in his heart, if I didn't despise my dirty hands, maybe I would have misplaced one of your bones. His ability, living in the ward all year round, human bones, needles and so on, really didn't take it seriously.

I don't know who started it first, picked up those clods and rotten peaches from the ground, and threw them all over to Tao Dazhuang.

Gu Yu giggled and thanked everyone, then dragged Xiao Man into the woods.

Now she has learned to behave a little better, this forest is so big, half of it is not allowed to go in and pick it, it is to be distributed to each household in Zhuangzi, and this half is also very large, Gu Yu and Xiaoman only stay in the crowd place, lest Tao Dazhuang go and return.

Xiao Man picked a handful of peaches, put them in a wooden barrel, wiped off his sweat, and saw Gu Yu staring at her, "Are you dazed? Why are you staring at people like that?"

Gu Yu was really looking at Xiao Man at this time, Xiao Man was twelve years old, his body began to stretch, and he already had a slim appearance, although he was wearing coarse clothes, but he had a special charm, and Xiao Man's skin looked very white and tender At this time, after a lot of work, the hair was wet with sweat, and a few strands of hair were sticking to the face, and the face was red and healthy, and she was a big girl in every gesture.Gu Yu stared at it for a moment, thinking that it's no wonder that some other thugs came over, it turned out that her sister had grown up without knowing it, Gu Yu saw Xiao Man asked, and said cheerfully: "Sister, you are really good-looking!"

Xiaoman was shy, Gu Yu had hallucinations for a moment, remembering Xiaoman's appearance when he passed Li He's side with a stick. It's not uncommon for two or three-year-olds to decide on a husband's family!"

Seeing Gu Yu's malicious smile, Xiaoman pretended to be angry and said, "I knew you couldn't say anything good, so I won't tear your mouth!"

Gu Yu ran over with a smile, relying on her dexterity, "I'm not afraid, if you treat me badly, I'll tell my brother-in-law, let's see how my brother-in-law takes care of you!"

After laughing a lot, the two sisters rushed to pick the peaches. It seems that picking peaches is not a physical task, but it is not easy. In order to prevent someone from picking the low places that are easy to pick, they have to pick the peaches one by one. Yes, the hands touched the branches, and the hair on the peach made the skin a little itchy, the sweat slid across the cheeks, it was sticky and uncomfortable, and sometimes she had to climb up the tree tremblingly, Gu Yu gritted her teeth and persisted.

Xu Qinshi hurried over at this time, "Oh, Xiaoman, are you okay, I heard that you were targeted by a rogue just now?"

Xiaoman smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I've already run away."

When Gu Yu heard Xu Qinshi's question about this matter, she became anxious again, with her waist crossed, she poked Tao Dazhuang's running direction with her finger, "Let's see how I deal with him!"

Seeing her appearance, Xu Qinshi chuckled, but patted Gu Yu's hand down, "Look at you little girl, who are you imitating? This is it. Look at your sister Duo Siwen, how can she look like you?" Out of the wild."

Gu Yu was not annoyed, but teased: "Grandma, it's better for me to be like this, so I won't be missed by others. Besides, you said my sister is gentle, you look at gentle now, you don't know that she was dragging such a big Bangzi, scolding each other in the yard over there scares me to death."

Xiaoman didn't have anything to say this time, and he didn't deny it, "It's because the people over there pushed you into the river, I couldn't be more angry."

The three of them laughed and laughed again, seeing that everything they could hold was full, Gu Yu and Xiao Man carried a wooden bucket, and Xu Qinshi each carried a load, and walked towards the carriage.

When he got to the front, he found a group of people chattering around, not knowing what to say, and Jing Zhe was among them.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Chen. Seeing them in the middle, Gu Yu guessed that it was not a good thing, so she moved aside to wait and see what happened.

Only Chen said. "Oh, my sister-in-law asked me to come over and help me, so I just followed her to carry it over. I wanted to ask Jing Zhe to help me, but I didn't know that he carried it well, and said he was going to count. How did I know that sister-in-law What else is in the basket?"

There is a mystery in the basket, Gu Yu looked into the bamboo basket, but found nothing, it was about the same size as the usual bamboo baskets, before Chen Yongyu didn't use those same big bamboo baskets to pass over the wooden plank for fear of trouble, it would be worth a penny money.

Unexpectedly, Zhang's sudden speed became extremely fast, so he was a little puzzled, thinking that the whole family was picking peaches, so he didn't say anything, who knew that Chen and Li He came separately, so I was a little puzzled, just now I saw Jing Zhe wanted to help her pour the peaches into the carriage, but she gave up with a strange expression, so Chen Yongyu asked Mrs. Zhang to put the frame on the wooden board to see if she was worrying too much.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang refused, and was still slapping her thighs and making noise, "Oh, hey, it's all money that's been delayed. If you don't help me pour it, I'll pour it myself!"

"Wait a minute, I said take it over there and take it over there, or we'll weigh it, or just pour out this basket of peaches and have a look." Chen Yongyu stayed there, with a posture of saying what he said.

Mrs. Zhang was a little stunned, still unwilling, "It's a waste of time. I picked all the peaches well, so I know it's hard for me as a woman."

Now there is no need for Chen Yongyu to speak, the people around were a little rude and even said: "Hey, if you are not guilty, what can you do if you put it up and try?"

Mrs. Zhang was a little annoyed, with a flustered look on her face, and she was about to leave with the basket of peaches, "Hey, I'll ask someone else to bring it over here, you just can't trust me."

But Chen Yongyu refused, "If you do the right thing, you don't have to be afraid of these things. If everyone is like this, wouldn't it be a mess? Gu Yu finally came up with this method, so that everyone in the village, old and young, can come to earn wages. Let you make trouble like this."

As he spoke, without waiting for Mrs. Zhang's reaction, he put the basket of peaches on the wooden board, while the standard bamboo basket at the other end did not move at all. Someone brought over a small wooden bucket, and put the peaches in the small wooden bucket, then There was a little movement on the side, but I couldn't get up. I replaced the small wooden barrel with a big wooden barrel, and then the side got up steadily, and the two ends were somewhat balanced.

Chen Yongyu's face turned green, "It's really you who can do such a thing!"

Mrs. Zhang was a little flustered. Seeing so many people around, she said stubbornly, "I just picked it like this. Who knew it would be so light. The peaches are different."

Chen Yongyu didn't talk to her, but poured out the peaches from the bamboo basket, and everyone booed.

In the bamboo basket, a lot of wooden sticks were inserted obliquely, so that the place that could hold the peaches became like an upside-down cone. Gu Yu watched from the side, and suddenly an inexplicable thing appeared in his mind, The area of ​​the bottom is the same as the height, and the volume of the cone is equal to one-third of the volume of the cylinder. Does it mean that if someone picks one basket, Mrs. Zhang can pick three baskets!What a black heart!

With the facts in front of him, Chen Yongyu was a little annoyed, "It's true that a mother like you can bring out such a son, come on, you don't need to pick it up, go back, I've convinced you, you don't even think about it , who will dare to come to your door in the future!"

Mrs. Zhang left, but she turned her head unwillingly. She wanted to get the bamboo basket, but she didn't dare.

And that bamboo basket was placed on the side of the carriage as a warning.

Someone jokingly said to Chen Yongyu: "Minister, that's something that can only be done. How can ordinary people do this?"

Mrs. Chen stayed aside and called out with a smile, "Yes, yes, I don't know, and it's just a matter of helping."

This Mrs. Chen is good at acting, Jing Zhe knew what was going on as soon as she put her hand on it, but she carried it all the way, how could such a few peaches be enough for them to carry.

After this incident, on the second day, no one came out to pick peaches in the yard over there. Mrs. Xu told Gu Yu that it was Lao Li who got angry and ordered him to do this. Mrs. Chen was a little annoyed, but she didn't dare to say anything.This time, even Li Heshi was so angry that he didn't go out for breakfast today.

Gu Yu sighed inwardly, grandpa lived in this village all his life, how could he think that his uncle's family would make trouble and be laughed at by people in this village, how could he have the face to walk out.

After picking peaches for three days, Gu Yu, Xiaoman, and Xu Qinshi were stunned. The four earned 92 coins and handed them all over to Gu Yu. Gu Yu put the money in the jar and felt it with his hands. After a while, I gained confidence in my heart, and regardless of my blushing face, "It would be great if I could pick peaches every day!"
