Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 88
When Butler Chen brought people to move the threshing machine, Dalin followed all the way, telling him to be careful from time to time, Gu Yu saw his appearance, and thought in his heart, could it be that Dalin took what he just said to the housekeeper seriously?

Chen Yongyu didn't know what he was thinking at this time, Li Dequan patted Gu Yu's head, "It's okay to borrow from the folks in the village, but this landlord's house is a bit out of place, Gu Yu, why do you think you can rent this?"

Gu Yu complained in her heart, and came to ask again, but she really didn’t think about it that much, she just felt that this kind of thing is not available to others, and it’s hard to make it once it’s sold, it’s so good to rent it out, sitting at home to collect money, being a happy rent collector She didn't make any more excuses, "Father, at first I thought that since the landlord's family was in a hurry to harvest and we were free, we would transport the threshing machine over to earn some wages. This is the same as picking peaches." Yes, how much work is paid, it’s just too hard, and we can’t finish our own work.”

Aunt Wen came over and patted Gu Yu's head, she was as rare as anything, "Gu Yu has helped our family a lot this time, your Brother Da Lin is a thin-skinned girl, Xiao He quarreled with the housekeeper in the morning, I still Thinking that Dalin dare not come to work, even if he goes, he might be embarrassed by others, if you tell the housekeeper to watch the threshing machine, you will not dare to do anything."

When Gu Yu thought about Jing Zhe going to school in such a family, she felt very uncomfortable, but she never saw Jing Zhe, and wondered what he and An Jinxuan said in the room.

Chen Yongyu was a little annoyed, "Don't talk about the landlord's house, he is reasonable, but the housekeeper is wearing a tiger's skin. I think it's probably his idea to deduct wages."

Once the incident was over, I didn’t say anything more, but when the threshing machine was transported back, Gu Yu went over and looked, and was very shocked. It wasn’t because of dissatisfaction, but it was washed too clean by Dalin, as if it had never been used. Not to mention the mud and leaves.

Li Dequan tied the flail and sent it to the grocery store as usual, and then went to dig the fields. Few households in this farm had livestock, and the paddy fields were planted after the early rice was harvested. If the rice paddies are placed on the ridge, it will be regarded as repairing the ridge, and then use a wooden shovel to level it, and then the late rice can be planted.

In order to make the work more lively, they did not separate this time. The fields of the three families rotated in turn. The Wen family’s field was next to Gu Yu’s, which was convenient. Xu Qinshi wanted to go to the fields with him. Not for sure, she didn't insist, but sighed: "I really want to wait until Jiang and the others split up, and then I will help him take care of the children, let the couple of them partner with you, and it will be nice to do things." !"

Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Gu Yu also nodded, "Grandma, it will be done next year. My aunt will leave after harvesting the late rice. When the time comes, the family will be separated, and there is no need to tie hands and feet when doing things, and don't worry about it." There are so many, naturally there is only better and better reason.”

So, although the rice had been dried, they took it back in a windy day, and Li Dequan really lent two sacks to Aunt Wen's house. Smell the smell of fresh rice.

In the afternoon, the adults all went to the field, leaving Xiao He Gu Yu, Xu Qin and Xu at home, Xiao Man was also embroidering things, Xiao He occasionally did not understand, she explained patiently, but Xiao He was helpless about those embroidery methods. It is too complicated to learn, but she is not discouraged, "Let's embroider this one now. I can embroider one and a half a day now, and I have six coins. My brother can do it for half a day."

Gu Yu was making faces at Xia Zhi, and upon hearing what Xiao He said, he said, "It's just that Aunt Wen told me that your family's lamp oil money has increased a lot!"

Jing Zhe just came out of the room, "If you don't need lamp oil, can you use tung oil seeds, put them in a string, and they can shine for quite a long time, but the light is a bit flickering."

An Jinxuan followed behind, holding a book in his hand, and shook it slightly, probably to ask about Jingzhe, just like that, Gu Yu saw that there was a cut on An Jinxuan's arm, the red one was very red , she ran over and grabbed it, "Brother Jinxuan, what's going on?"

An Jinxuan shook his head, "It's okay, it was scratched by a branch."

Gu Yu thought about it, such a deep couple's wound, some places have already started to leak water, some pus, it doesn't look like being scratched by a branch, but like being scratched by an animal, she looked up and down, not sure He stopped and asked, "Brother Jinxuan, are you hurt?"

Jing Zhe pulled Gu Yu over, "You girl, you can't ask such random questions, if Jinxuan says there is no, then there is no."

Gu Yu was still worried, although she didn't know why An Jinxuan always seemed to be on guard against everyone, but she felt that he was not malicious, as if he had been heartbroken, and wrapped herself up like that, but this caught him The wound has not yet healed, and he doesn't say anything. When everyone was working together, he started a business by himself, saying that it was inconvenient to eat with everyone, and he probably went into the mountains. Could it be that he was scratched.

Gu Yu pulled An Jinxuan and walked out of the house, Jing Zhe yelled twice and couldn't help but let them go, but there was some helplessness in his eyes.

An Jinxuan is like a child who has done wrong things. He usually has some things to say, but now he said: "Gu Yu, what are you doing? It's not in the way. This pain is nothing. In the past..."

Seeing that Gu Yu didn't seem to hear it, he suddenly shouted happily: "I found it, this is it!"

Then he pulled out the purplish tree, "I said I've seen it here, look at you, it's such a hot weather, the opening is deep, I think it's the scab and then cracked It looks like it's suppurating, it's not a trivial matter, does it hurt?" While talking, blowing air gently.

An Jinxuan's body froze and he was stunned. Seeing Gu Yu's long eyelashes fluttering, his tanned face contrasted sharply with that snow-white neck, he really wanted to reach out and touch the peach-like red Bai Jie finally held back and let Gu Yu smash the grass on the stone slab, spread it on his arm, pulled out some more, told An Jinxuan to use it after returning home, and told An Jinxuan not to eat this for a few days. eat that.

An Jinxuan sighed quietly, thinking that Gu Yu was so kind to him, it seemed like he was born with it, he didn't think there was anything wrong, and neither did she, and Gu Yu's family, they were all very kind to him, but that There is a distance between kindness, politeness and politeness, always separated by a layer.

Where did Gu Yu think that he was thinking about this in his heart, and raised his head and asked, "Brother Jinxuan, are you feeling better?"

"Do you think it's a panacea? It will be cured so quickly. Besides, Gu Yu, how do you know that this medicine is useful?"

Gu Yu didn't want to talk about the reason why she became a doctor after a long illness, she half-jokingly said, "I don't know, I just tried it on you, who told you to believe me, don't regret it when the time comes."

All the way back home, she suddenly found that there was a lot of excitement, but she saw that the fourth aunt and Mrs. Zhang were here together, and she held her breath in her heart. When she was so busy, she thought they could calm down a little, how could she know? here we go again.

I just heard Mrs. Zhang say: "You saw her grandma too. Both of us went to the field, even those from Lichun and Lixia helped, and the fourth couple also went down. He was the only one in Dejiang's family. Well, just at this time, I have a big belly and I can’t move. When I was pregnant, I gave birth when I came back, so I went to the ground as usual.”

I don't know what I said before, Xu Qinshi didn't like it too much at this time, but he didn't pay attention to her.

Mrs. Chen played drums at the side, "This second sister-in-law finally got pregnant, and besides, the second brother took a flail back to use it for us, but we were laughed at by others, asking what kind of thresher the third brother's family uses, ask us We don’t care if it can be used up or not. We just want to wait for you to use it up and give it to us, but we heard that it was taken away by the landlord’s house. It’s hard to turn your elbows out, and it’s not that we have to use it. , I'm just afraid that if it spreads out, it will hurt third brother's reputation."

Xiaoman lowered her head to embroider, and pretended not to hear, as if she had discussed with Xu Qinshi.

Mrs. Zhang was a little impatient, "Anyway, let's ask, since the threshing machine is at home, why can't we borrow it for a few days? My natal brother still has several acres of land that have not been mowed."

The same goes for Mrs. Chen, "I just heard that it was taken away by the landowner's house, and I heard that the newly returned kid was also watching it by the way. Isn't that unreasonable? If you want to see it, you will be paid. You can ask Lichun Lixia to go there. .”

Seeing Da Lin, Xiao He didn't know what to say, so she lowered her head to embroider, but bit her lower lip with her teeth.

Xiaoman couldn't bear it any longer, and snorted softly, "Auntie, Auntie, why don't you just talk about it?"

"The one who will be used by others or not by one's own family?"

"Didn't the rice be cut over there? Otherwise, you would be so light-handed, but instead of going to the fields, come to us in unison?"

Mrs. Zhang replied in a rough voice: "Isn't my natal family also a family, besides, your fourth aunt's natal family is also on the same farm, and there are not many laborers there..."

Xiao Man stood up a little annoyed, and dropped the embroidery frame in his hand to the ground, "You guys really have face! Look at where we live now, our family is not lucky, we don't have a place to live yet, what about the thresher?" We rented it to Tian’s family for sixty yuan a day, but you should go back to your mother’s house and ask, if they also give you sixty yuan, no, forty yuan, come and move!”

Mrs. Zhang saw that Xiaoman's tone was a bit aggressive, and she refused to accept it, "You are such a little girl, you have lost money! You really have never seen money."

"I've never seen money. I only know that if you have money, you don't have to suffer so much. We still have to save money to build a house. I also know that when we have nothing here, how have you ever been in trouble?" At our house, if we see something cheap at this time, do we want to come and pick it up?"

Chen's expression turned pale, "Look at what you said, Xiaoman, when did I not come, just ask, since it's for making money, it's okay." Another sentence popped up, "When we came here, my mother told me to tell you to stay away from the Wen family!"
