The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 65 Honoring the Ancestor

Guan Shi raised her head and looked at Gu Huayu, nodded and said, "Well, he looks like a young adult, which is a bit bluffing."

Gu Chengjuan glanced at Gu Huayu and muttered: "You little brat, you're more bluffing than my grandfather!"

Guan Shi smiled and said nothing.

Gu Huayu pretended not to hear and let the two of them murmur.

 After sitting for a while, Gu Huayu got up and went back to her room.

As soon as she entered the house, she heard a voice coming from next door. Gu Huayu immediately listened attentively.

“Third brother, Xiaoyu looks too much like Mrs. Hua and Mr. Hua. I’m a little worried.” Wan’s voice came over.

"Alas! Don't worry, there are some things that we can't stop. Let's take it one step at a time. I have told Xiaoyu to restrain herself and not show off her edge too much.

　　、

Besides, according to your description, Ru'an is only in his teens, and he probably has never seen Mr. Hua and his wife. "Gu Dechang replied.

"But I still feel very uneasy. Tell me, you didn't tell the young master where we live, so why did he come to our house?" Wan said distractedly.

Gu Dechang comforted her with gentle words: "Xiaofeng, don't worry. Xiaoyu grew up in Shangtai Village since she was a child. She has never even left the village before, so no one will doubt her."

“Third brother, how about we tell her Xiaoyu’s life experience?”

After a brief silence, Gu Dechang said: "Xiaoyu is still young, so let's wait a little longer. My wife told her before she died that she would tell her after Xiaoyu grows up."

"Okay, wait a minute. Alas! Xiaoyu, this kid, has so many ideas, I'm really a little scared." Wan said worriedly.

“It’s a good thing to have an idea. Do you still expect Xiaoyu to be a timid person with no backbone?

Over the years, what we are most worried about is that we are afraid that we will not be able to protect her and fail to live up to my wife's trust.

This is good now. She has the ability. She can protect herself in the future. "Gu Dechang said with relief.

“Third brother, tell me, Xiaoyu has such a powerful master, why would Madam still entrust her to us?” Wan asked in confusion.

“I don’t know, Madam must have her own considerations. Don’t think too much and take a good rest. I’m going to work in the fields.”

"I'm not going to rest anymore. I have to stew that pheasant. Alas! Brother Nan had another quarrel with Xiu'e over a pheasant." Wan sighed.

"Wang is stingy and has a narrow vision. Just pretend you don't see it and don't argue with her." Gu Dechang comforted her.

"Don't worry, as long as she doesn't find fault with Xiaoyu, I won't argue with her." Wanshi replied.

 “Xiao Feng, I’m in trouble for you.” Gu Dechang said warmly.

"Third brother, don't say that! In this family, I have third brother to protect me, so it's not difficult at all! The most difficult thing is Brother Nan." Wan sighed.

"Don't worry too much! Brother Nan knows it well. Also, Mrs. Wang is stingy and not bad-hearted. She will listen to Brother Nan's words." Gu Dechang advised.

 Gu Huayu listened to the two of them walking away, leaning on the bed, thinking about the conversation between Gu Dechang and Wanshi, and her eyes felt hot. Her father and mother really loved her in the palm of their hands, and her biological parents were nothing more than that.

Thinking about Gu Chengnan and Wang Xiu'e again, it was just as my father said. Although Wang Xiu'e was stingy, she was not bad-hearted and listened to her second brother's words.

Gu Huayu couldn't help but sigh, there are all kinds of couples in the world, there are those who understand each other like father and mother and love each other so much, there are those who are husband and wife like the elder brother and sister-in-law, and there are also those who are awkward like the second brother and sister-in-law.

Gu Huayu smiled bitterly and said to herself: "People who are single from birth are not worthy to think about such profound issues and sleep!"

In the following days, Gu Hua focused on farming, walking around the vegetable garden every day to see the growth of the nursery.

“Xiaoyu, you went to the vegetable garden again? How was it? Are the seedlings growing well?”

Gu Chenglin saw Gu Huayu coming back from outside and asked in a loud voice.

Gu Huayu nodded in agreement, "Well, it's growing well. Third brother, are you going to deliver food to grandfather and the others?"

Seeing Wanshi put the pottery pot filled with vegetables into the basket, Gu Huayu asked.

Gu Chenglin nodded and said: "Yes, my grandfather said that going back and forth would be too long, so he asked me to come back and deliver it to everyone."

"Auntie, put some into a small basket, and I will go with the third brother." Gu Huayu put down the basket, turned around and washed her hands at the well.

 “No need, I can take it alone.”

 “Okay, then Xiaoyu can memorize the rice.”

 Gu Chenglin and Wanshi replied at the same time.

Gu Huayu smiled at Gu Chenglin and raised her eyebrows proudly.

Gu Chenglin pursed his lips and smiled, spread his hands and said, "Okay!"

The two of them went to the field. Gu Huayu wanted to take a walk in the field while everyone was eating.

“Xiaoyu, are you tired? Come here to rest.” Mrs. Qin patted the stone beside her.

 Gu Huayu smiled and shook her head, "Uncle, you don't have to worry about me while you're eating. I'll go around as I please."

 Gu Chengjuan had just pinched a piece of tofu with her hands and put it in her mouth. Seeing that Gu Huayu was about to leave, she didn't bother to swallow the tofu and said hurriedly: "Xiaoyu, wait, I'll accompany you."

 Gu Huayu waved her hand, "No, no. Second sister, you eat your food. I won't go far, I will just hang around nearby."

"Xiaoyu, wait, I'll go with you." Gu Chenglin stopped Gu Huayu, went to the edge and handed her a bamboo pole, "Take it, the grass is deep, be careful of snakes."

 Gu Huayu took the bamboo pole and said, "Thank you, third brother. Third brother, you can eat without accompanying me, I can do it."

Gu Chenglin walked forward and said as he walked: "I've eaten at home, let's go."

Gu Huayu nodded, followed Gu Chenglin with a bamboo pole and walked along the edge of the cornfield. She saw that many corn leaves had been bitten by insects.

Gu Huayu walked closer to take a closer look, then tore off a few corn leaves, held them in her hands, and continued walking forward.

Gu Chenglin saw her tearing off the insect-bitten leaves and looked at them curiously, without asking.

 After turning around, everyone had finished eating and was sitting around talking.

When Mrs. Fang saw them coming back, she smiled and called, "Xiaoyu, come and sit."

Gu Chengjuan moved to the side and said, "Xiaoyu, sit here."

 “Okay.” Gu Huayu smiled and sat next to Gu Chengjuan.

"Xiaoyu, what do you do with the corn leaves?" Qin asked, looking at Gu Huayu's hand.

Gu Huayu pointed to the place bitten by insects, looked at Gu Huaidong and said, "Grandpa, is the insect infestation bigger this year?"

Gu Huaidong sighed and said, "Well, last year was a mild winter, and this year's crops are in disaster."

"Xiaoyu, do you still understand this?" Gu Chengnan turned to look at Gu Huayu and asked in surprise.

Others looked at Gu Huayu, waiting for her answer.

“Did you see it in the book again?” Gu Chengliang couldn’t help but ask first.

 Gu Huayu nodded, "Well, the books my dad brought back a few days ago happened to be about mulberry farming."

 Gu Chengliang looked at Gu Dechang, "Dad, did you also show Xiaoyu the book on farming and farming?"

Gu Dechang couldn't even remember that there was this book. When his son asked him about it, he quickly defended it and said, "I wanted to read it myself, but Xiaoyu read it first."

“Oh? Xiaoyu, is there any way to deal with the pests?” Gu Huaidong asked eagerly.

 After recent events, Gu Huaidong has great trust in Gu Huayu.

"Well, there are records in the book on how to deal with pests. I just took a rough look at it. I didn't pay attention at the time, so I don't remember it clearly. I'll look at it when I go back later and try the methods in the book." Gu Huayu replied. .

“Okay, okay, Brother Lin, go back with Xiaoyu and see what the method is. Let’s try it earlier.” Gu Huaidong immediately ordered.

Gu Chenglin nodded in agreement, bent down and picked up the basket full of grass, "Xiaoyu, let's go back."

Gu Chengliang turned around and picked up his own basket, "Wait a minute, I'll go back with you too."

Gu Chenglin glanced at Gu Huayu.

Gu Huayu gave him a comforting look, then turned to Gu Chengliang and said, "Okay, let's get together."

On the way, Gu Chenglin looked for an opportunity and asked: "Xiaoyu, do you really have a book on pest control?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Third brother, don't worry, we have it."

In order to prevent family members from questioning, Gu Huayu asked Atong to collect a lot of books for her, all kinds of books.

 Everything she knows can be attributed to "Master Shu".

 Back home, Gu Huayu found the miscellaneous book recording farming affairs and pointed it out to Gu Chenglin and Gu Chengliang.

Gu Chenglin and Gu Chengliang followed the instructions in the book and went to the field to cut artemisia annua.

Gu Huayu took the opportunity to go to the space and took out a bottle of Beauveria bassiana insecticide.

Except for pesticides, Gu Huayu hesitated for a while and finally took out the watering can stored in the space.

This pot is made of bone china with extremely exquisite workmanship. The two lifelike swallowtail butterflies on the pot body seem to be dancing. It is so beautiful that people cannot take their eyes away.

Hua Jinlin asked a master to make this specially for her. It was originally a pair, one was placed in a modern flower shed, and the other was received by her in the space.

Wanshi couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes. She picked up the watering can and looked at it for a long time. She couldn't put it down and asked: "Xiaoyu, what is this? Where does it come from?"

Gu Huayu said casually: "The watering kettle, I accidentally saw it when I was wandering in the county town that day. I liked these two butterflies, so I bought it."

　　When talking about buying it, Gu Huayu looked at Wanshi carefully, like a child who spends money recklessly and is waiting to be punished.

“The workmanship is so exquisite, it cost a lot of money, right?” Wan did care about money.

Gu Huayu said nonsense: "Fortunately, the shopkeeper was kind and saw that I liked it very much. He didn't charge a high price and sold it to me for just one tael of silver."

“One tael of silver? So expensive!” Wan said with heartache. "The workmanship is excellent, but for just one tael of silver, isn't it too expensive?"

Gu Huayu lowered her head and said with a look of shame: "It's indeed a bit expensive, Auntie, I'm sorry."

Seeing Gu Huayu's apology, Mrs. Wan couldn't say any more words of blame. She touched the butterfly on the watering can and handed the watering can to Gu Huayu.

　　said: "One tael of silver is a bit expensive. Since Xiaoyu likes it, just buy it. Look at it, don't be upset."

Gu Huayu took it with a smile and said, "Thank you, Auntie, this pot is not a decoration, it has great uses."

 “Isn’t it a decoration?” Gu Chengjiao was also heartbroken for a tael of silver.

“Sister, you must underestimate it.” Gu Huayu said as she unscrewed the lid of the pot, poured water into it, then pressed the handle, and water mist sprayed out from the nozzle.

Wanshi and Gu Chengjiao stared straight at each other, unable to recover for a while.

Gu Huayu mixed the pesticide into the water of the artemisia annua solution, returned to Eagle Cliff with Gu Chenglin and Gu Chengliang, and taught Gu Chenglin step by step how to apply pesticide to the corn.

 After some time, Gu Huaidong went to the field to check the growth of the corn. When he came back, he said ecstatically: "Xiaoyu, the insect control method you taught is very effective. I am worried that the harvest will not be good this year.

 Now that the pests are under control, this year will definitely be a good year. You guys should study hard and read more. "

Gu Chengjuan curled her lips proudly, "Some people can say that it is useless for women to study."

After finishing speaking, Gu Chengjuan glanced at Wang opposite, and the others followed suit.

Fang raised her hand and patted Gu Chengjuan, then reprimanded with a stern face: "You are the only one who talks too much!"

 Gu Chengjuan pouted, turned around and pulled Gu Huayu out, "Xiaoyu, you told me to teach me how to make fragrant dew. Come on, let's go pick flowers."

“Wait a minute!” Gu Huaidong saw Gu Chengjiao pulling Gu Huayu away and hurriedly stopped him.

Gu Huayu turned to look at Gu Huaidong and asked, "Is there anything else, grandfather?"

Gu Huaidong nodded, "Well, Xiaoyu, how do you grow that sweet potato you mentioned before? I just have some free time right now, so you can teach everyone and plant it as soon as possible."

Gu Huayu said apologetically to Gu Chengjuan: "Second sister, let's deal with Xianglu another day, okay?"

Gu Chengjuan just didn't want to sit with Mr. Wang, nor did she really want to make incense. "Okay, okay, business is more important."

Gu Huayu reached out and picked up the scissors in Qin's sewing basket, "Auntie, please borrow the scissors. Come with me."

 Everyone followed Gu Huayu and went to the vegetable garden together.

Gu Huayu cut a sweet potato vine with scissors, "Everyone wants to see it, cut the sweet potato vine like this, cut it into small sections, and then cut it into the ground like this."

They are all familiar with farming skills. As soon as Gu Huayu taught them, everyone understood.

Seeing that everyone understood, Gu Huayu continued, "Since we are talking about interplanting crops, I will say a few more words today.

These days I went to look at the fields. The things we planted in our fields were too dense, and the spacing between the rows of crops was not enough.

 That's it this year. When planting next year, it will be most suitable to change the current three rows to two rows.

When the corn field is sown for the first time, the soil should be cultivated. This can increase the fertility of the crop. Secondly, when it rains for many days in a row, it is beneficial to drain water, reduce waterlogging, and interseed crops. Crops are also convenient. "

Gu Defang stared at Gu Huayu with gleaming eyes, "Xiaoyu, is this also what the book says?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Well, I think what is recorded in the book makes sense. Farming and mulberry farming is easy to say, but it is not easy to do it well.

 For crops to grow well, in addition to sunshine hours, temperature, humidity, and soil fertility, the habits of each crop and field management are extremely important. "

Gu Huayu spoke eloquently and gave all the credit to the books.

 Gu Huaidong nodded with satisfaction, turned to Gu Dechang and said: "Look, it's also reading. What's the use of reading those ancient sayings of saints, poems and songs?

Look at Xiaoyu, the book he reads can not only cure diseases and save lives, but also know how to farm and cultivate crops. How practical! From now on, you have to learn from Xiaoyu. "

 Gu Huayu looked at Gu Dechang sympathetically and helped to rescue him: "Grandpa, my father taught my brothers the ancient teachings of the saints. That is orthodox.

　　　It is to let the brothers take the road of imperial examination. In the future, the brothers will be named on the gold medal list and bring glory to the Gu family. "

Gu Dehai smiled and smoothed things over: "Xiaoyu is right. Dad, shall we start planting sweet potatoes today?"
