Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 73
In a blink of an eye, it is the fifth day of June, and everyone is busy helping Xia Zhi to be a hundred years old.

Early in the morning, the blue and white morning light spilled into the room, and it was a relatively cool time in this hot summer.In the past, Gu Yu was sleeping, but today she had something on her mind, so she sat up from the bed and saw that Xu Qinshi's bed was empty and Xiao Man was not there, she was a little ashamed, she thought she had woken up early, where Thinking that it was still a bit late, some voices had already been heard outside the house, so she quickly put on her clothes and came out.

When they got out of the door, Jing Zhe was already sitting in the room, but An Jinxuan was nowhere to be seen, and there was already excitement outside the door.

Gu Yu was going to the kitchen to ladle water to wash his face, only to find that many people had come to the village, waiting around Chen Yongyu to make arrangements. They were familiar with each other, and everyone knew what they were doing.The men are nothing more than arranging who will build a shed and who will chop vegetables, and the boys will not be idle, serving dishes with trays, or setting tables, etc.

And the women gathered around Jiang and listened to her explanation: "Ms. Zhuzi, Taoer, you go home and cook. Your pot is big, and the cooking does not stick to the pot. Aunt Qin and Ping'er go to wash the vegetables. Your hands and feet Neatly,..."

Gu Yu listened to it for a while, and thought that a few tables of banquets would not be a big deal, and the only thing left was a meal. Who knew that in such a place where everything is lacking, it is really difficult, and everyone can buy it. Classify all the things that come out, and then think about making a few dishes, as well as those who cook, wash dishes, and clean up the table. In addition, those who receive gifts and send off guests must have a passable face and be able to save money, which is really not a cover.

After the assignment, Jiang was very satisfied and prepared to cook, muttering, "This time it's so neat, everyone came earlier than me, and it didn't matter to Old Cuitou to marry a girl last time." It’s amazing to see such unison.”

Gu Yu was very happy when he heard this, thinking that everyone in Zhuangzi has his own steelyard in his heart. If he thinks there is something on your side and wants to help, he will naturally do his best, while some people want to go, but they just delay It is procrastinating, needless to say the reason.Thinking of this, Gu Yu laughed out loud, and was about to scoop up water to rinse his mouth, but he couldn't squeeze into the stove, so he had to give up.

Seeing Gu Yu smirking, Jiang shi was very lazy and seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping, and felt a little distressed, "You girl, I don't have anything to do with you, I will talk about it when I go to sleep."

Gu Yu shook her head, "Today's summer solstice is [-] years old, I still want to help, everyone is here, there is no reason for me to sleep."

Seeing Gu Yu saying that and nodding, Jiang Shi liked it even more in her heart. This Gu Yu has a neat appearance, and his style of speaking and doing things is naturally different. He is assertive and reasonable.

Seeing that she was a little weird, Gu Yu hurriedly shook her.

Jiang Shi pulled her over with a smile, "Go cook with Aunt Jiang, I will leave you some crispy rice later." As soon as he heard about the crispy rice, Chen Jiangsheng also came over and wanted to go with him. Since last time he brought Ning Bo went to Gu Yu's yard, and was very displeased to see Gu Yu, and was afraid that Gu Yu would get angry, so he often said soft words to curry favor with Gu Yu.

Gu Yu felt that this little boy was very clingy, and didn't want to be with him, so he said in a panic, "I won't go to my aunt, my sister also said that I will distribute things to the guests later."

There are too many people here, and Li Dejiang came back as expected. He was busy there, he was worried that there were too many people, and he remembered that when the fourth child got married, Mrs. Wang was bumped into and gave birth to Xia Zhi, so he didn't want Mrs. Xu to come over. Who knew that Mrs. Xu just didn't listen to him, but just came over but didn't dare to sit in the crowd, and sat in Xiaoman's room, holding the things embroidered by Mrs. Wang, Xiaoman and Xiaohan, and kept looking at and touching herself. Stomach: "Xiaohan, Xiaohan, your brother is [-] years old today, you should come out quickly, your two brothers will be the same age."

Xiaoman just came in to get something, and it was a little funny to hear this, "Second Aunt, don't worry, Xiaohan hasn't reached full term yet."

Xu smiled shyly and sat happily.Gu Yu opened the door curtain and came in. After observing for a while, she realized that Li Dejiang handed over the gifts outside to Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang or Xiaoman took them and put them in this room. Jingzhe would naturally write down who followed them gift.

She was happy in her heart, and said that she had such a banquet at home, and she didn't know what Xia Zhi could get. She was a fan of money, thinking, would it feel good to sit in the room and watch the things gradually increase? ?
So, Gu Yu and Xu Shi stayed in the room, chatting one after another.

She looked at something that Xiaoman brought in, and then thought about what it could be used for, and even thought of all the things Xu used for confinement, which made Xu couldn't help but tap her forehead, " Gu Yu told me what to say about you, you are careful and money-hungry, before your mother told me that I still didn’t believe it, you see that you are guarding these things and distributing them here, how could it be a little girl’s work.”

The two were talking, Xiaoman came in with a box in his arms, and put the things straight on the ground.Gu Yu was a little strange. When people in this village gave gifts to relatives, they usually carried bamboo baskets, which contained nothing more than eggs, fabrics, and snacks. This wooden box was really rare.After someone else took something for the host, the host would naturally put a bag of dim sum in a basket and return it to the guest.

She didn't ask too many questions, she went over to open the box and was dumbfounded.The box was full of things, a piece of high-quality cotton cloth lay softly inside, picked up the cotton cloth, and under it was a piece of silk, a piece of brocade, Gu Yu exhaled, how could there be such a wealthy relative in her family? Not counting, there is a small box under the material, the box is very delicate, there are some gadgets inside, including a pair of silver bracelets, which seem to be for Xia Zhi, and some food underneath.

Just as Gu Yu was about to ask Xiaoman what kind of family this was, he heard a crisp voice from outside, "So many people are really annoying, hey, there is no good place, there is nothing to sit in the house, how can you cook in the yard?" something to eat..."

She threw the things in her hand and rushed out, "Ningbo, what are you doing at our house again?!"

Ning Bo said with some grievances: "My name is Ning Bo! I'm your guest of honor, do you know what a guest of honor is? Hmph, I didn't think your brother was uncomfortable wearing such thick materials, so I made him small clothes with those things Well, since you guys are not satisfied with Tao Zi, send some snacks over."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Gu Yu very proudly, and Gu Yu finally realized that he was the one who sent the wooden box, and he didn't know what the adults in his family thought, but he was relieved to let him come.

You don't need Gu Yu to ask, but you can hear Steward Wang explaining to Li Dejiang who was at the door, "This young master insisted on coming. The old lady shouldn't have come. It means that his aunts will come home tomorrow, but he won't be here for a few days." I was happy, but the old lady couldn't screw him up, so she thought that she came to Master Li's house, and there were so many people who knew him well, so she asked him to come and have a look around. The old lady called for some help."

So it turned out that Gu Yu ignored him and let him jump around, "Hey, you want to play with me! I'm the guest of honor now!"

"I don't care about your guests. Don't you have long legs? I'm the owner of this place, and I'm going to pack things. It's like you, you know how to play when you're so old."

Ning Bo was not convinced, but he didn't say anything. Steward Wang brought him a wooden stool, but he didn't sit on it. Seeing Gu Yu counting things in the room, he was embarrassed to go in, and squatted at the door of the room with Gu Yu through the curtain. Talking, he asked three questions, Gu Yu reluctantly answered him, his tone was still very impatient, he didn't think there was anything wrong, he was still in high spirits, but Mrs. Xu who stayed inside couldn't see him, thinking that he was very Pitiful.

Suddenly, there was a piercing female cry, "Oh, why is there a wild boy squatting at the door of this room, he must be thinking of throwing something!"

Ning Bo stood up with his hands behind his back, and blocked the door. He didn't pay attention to this woman at all, and asked very maturely, "What did you say?"

Gu Yu looked through the gap where the door curtain occasionally moved and leaked, and it turned out that the second aunt Yu'e had returned and was confronting Ning Bo with her hips on her hips.

She had already stood up, but now she sat down again. Anyway, they were the two of them non-stop. The second aunt had always been relentless. Although this Ning Bo was small, he was big. Let's see what they say.

Just listen to Yu'e's scolding, "Where did the child dare to block the door? Don't think that you are amazing in such clothes. What were you doing squatting at the door just now? This is not your own home, tsk tsk tsk, how dare you lean Looking at people with eyes, is there really no adult discipline?"

Ning Bo could hold his breath, Ren Yu'e kept talking, and after finishing speaking, he said leisurely: "Where did you come from."

Yu'e was so angry that she reached out to pull her hand, but Ning Bo yelled loudly, "Butler Wang——"

Gu Yu thought that the two of them were getting involved, so he quickly opened the curtain and went out to see what happened.

But Ning Bo smiled at Gu Yu, "There is an unreasonable savage here, let me help you go."

Seeing Gu Yu coming out, Yu'e felt a little uncomfortable, "We don't have such a relative in our family, why are we here? Could it be someone provoked it?"

Before Gu Yu answered her, Steward Wang had already entered the door. Seeing Ning Bo standing at the door, he hurriedly said, "What's the matter, young master?"

As soon as Butler Wang appeared, Yu'e was stunned. Isn't this the butler of the Ning family? She had also been there to help Zhang Luo with things, but the servants of the Ning family were all used to it and she couldn't stay. , otherwise it would be as miserable as it is now, now that the summer solstice can come for a hundred days, if such a thread...

Yu'e smiled flatteringly: "Oh, Steward Wang is also here, to tell you the truth, today is my nephew's hundredth day, and I was thinking that a group of people in Zhuangzi are suffering, how can there be little The young master is such a good person here, this is the young master whom the old lady loves the most, I am happy to see it, and I made a few more jokes, Young Master Ning is really insightful at such a young age."
