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

Chapter 66: Same people but different fates

The topic turned back to farming, and Gu Huaidong immediately gave instructions: "From the De Fang family, a few of you will stay and cut the sweet potato vines. The rest of you will go to the fields to weed the grass and raise the soil as the saying goes. If the rows are too dense, remove one row and spread out the rows.”

 Gu Huayu raised her head and looked at Gu Huaidong. Her face, which had been tanned by the sun from working in the fields for a long time, was filled with fortitude and determination, which made Gu Huayu suddenly feel admiration in her heart.

Gu Huayu understands very well how much farmers care for their crops.

Once, she taught a flower farmer to prune flower branches, but the flower farmer was as reluctant to part with them as if he were pruning his own flesh. She tried her best to do some ideological work for the flower farmers...

 It was also based on previous experience that Gu Huayu said forget it this year and asked everyone to pay more attention when planting next year.

But she never expected that Gu Huaidong could get rid of it as soon as he said it. It was half a person's height of corn, and it would be harvested in a blink of an eye.

Many people in the world can afford it, but how many people can let it go?

“Dad, the corn will be dry in a blink of an eye... Otherwise, let’s leave it like this this year! Let’s pay more attention next year.” Gu Dehai said hesitantly.

Gu Huaidong shook his head, waved his hand and said: "I think Xiaoyu is right. If it is too dense and the soil is not fertile enough, the corn will not grow well and the harvest will not be good. It is better to just cut it off."

"Okay, listen to Dad." Gu Dehai nodded and responded.

After receiving the instructions, everyone went about their business.

Gu Chengjuan looked at the people leaving and turned to look at Gu Huayu with admiration, "Xiaoyu, you are at home now, and this is it! Even my grandfather listens to you."

Gu Chengjuan gave Gu Huayu a thumbs up as she spoke.

　　Fang put the cut sweet potato vines at her feet, raised her head and said to Gu Chengjuan, "You, follow Xiao Yu and learn from her."

 Gu Chengjuan pouted and leaned her head on Gu Huayu's shoulder: "Xiaoyu, I'm starting to dislike me. You have to teach me more."

Gu Huayu raised her arms and put her arms around Gu Chengjuan's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Yes, you are the second aunt's heart. Will the second aunt dislike you? It's not too late to pamper you."

Also, you are my second sister. Whatever you want to learn, I will naturally teach you. Of course, I would. Come on, let's go back and I'll teach you how to make perfume. "

Fang's eyes were full of smiles, and she turned to Wan and said: "Xiao Feng, you were worried about Xiaoyu being reticent before, and you were also afraid that she would suffer a loss. Look, Xiaoyu's mouth looks like it has fallen into Who would be willing to treat her badly?"

Mrs. Qin smiled and said: "This child has always been well-behaved and clever. Who doesn't like him? Xiaofeng, before he was just worried."

Gu Chengjuan glanced at the people squatting in the field working, pulled Gu Huayu's sleeves, and asked softly: "Don't we need to help with the work?"

Guan was very close and when he heard Gu Chengjuan's words, he smiled and said, "This is not much work, you can go and have fun."

Mrs. Qin waved her hand, "Listen to your sister-in-law and go play."

Gu Chengjuan received the permission and pulled Gu Huayu back, saying as she ran: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, sister-in-law. Xiaoyu, let's go."

The two returned to the yard. Gu Huayu picked up the basket and said, "Second sister, there are many jasmine flowers on the mountain. Let's go pick some and bring them back."

Gu Chengjuan picked up the basket and followed, "Okay."

“Xiaoyu, did you learn the method of making fragrant dew from books?” Gu Chengjuan asked sideways.

Gu Huayu nodded, "Yeah."

Gu Chengjuan walked a few steps, turned around and walked backwards while asking: "Xiaoyu, from now on, you will teach me how to read, okay?"

Gu Huayu raised her eyebrows, looked at Gu Chengjuan and asked, "Second sister, do you want to learn how to read?"

Gu Huayu vaguely remembered that what Gu Chengjuan was most afraid of was reading and literacy.

At first, my father enlightened Gu Chenggui and Gu Chengjuan, and called her and Gu Chengliang, who were younger, together.

In my father's words, steaming a steamed bun is steaming, and steaming a pot of steamed buns is also steaming. So we simply grouped several children together to teach them. ,

 As a result, the younger she and Gu Chengliang were able to write 1, 2, and 3, but Gu Chengjuan still grasped the pen randomly.

For this reason, Gu Chengjuan was beaten frequently. Later, the second aunt gave up, and later, the second uncle also gave up. Later, my father also gave up.

Gu Chengjuan turned around and walked forward side by side with Gu Huayu: "You can learn so many skills from books, I also want to learn how to read.

In our daughter's family, literacy and reading are not a test of fame. If we can study and learn some skills, we will not be looked down upon or bullied by others in the future. "

Gu Huayu turned her head and glanced at Gu Chengjuan. She knew that it would not be easy to make Gu Chengjuan, who was afraid of reading, want to read.

 Sure enough, Gu Chengjiao’s experience had a huge impact on her.

Women in this era become sensible early. They get their haircut at the age of fifteen. After that, they have to get married and have children.

The family is already paying attention to someone as big as Gu Chengjuan.

 In that life, when the Gu family was facing a disaster, Gu Chengjuan had already been betrothed and the wedding date had been set. Unfortunately, the disaster came too suddenly, and Gu Chengjuan was not able to survive.

"Xiaoyu, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Gu Huayu in a daze, Gu Chengjuan reached out and pulled her sleeve.

 Gu Huayu came back to her senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing. I remembered that the second sister didn't like reading when she was a child. Now that the second sister wants to learn, I will teach the second sister."

 Gu Chengjuan raised her arm and held Gu Huayu's arm, and said coquettishly: "Xiaoyu is not allowed to laugh at me. I am stupid and slow to learn. Xiaoyu is not allowed to dislike me."

 “Okay, I don’t mind.” Gu Huayu smiled and nodded.

Gu Chengjuan let go of Gu Huayu's hand and jumped forward.

“Second sister, please slow down, watch your feet, be careful not to fall.” Gu Huayu reminded her gently.

Gu Chengjuan looked back and smiled, "Xiaoyu, between the two of us, why are you more like my sister?"

Gu Chengjuan pointed at herself and Gu Huayu with her fingers as she spoke.

Gu Xiaoyu smiled and said to himself, of course, I have a thirty-year-old soul living inside me, how can I not be older than you?

"Really? We are about the same age. We grew up together and should have taken care of each other."

“Well, our family is better, brothers and sisters love each other. Yesterday afternoon, when I came back from cutting pigweed, I saw Zhang Xiaohua being beaten by her brother Zhang Wu.

 My dear, Zhang Xiaohua had one of her teeth knocked out by Zhang Wu, her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, her mouth was full of blood and she was crawling on the ground unable to get up. How pitiful!

 Fortunately, I was not reincarnated into the Zhang family. "Maybe she feels that she is too happy," Gu Chengjuan said with emotion.

 These days after returning, Gu Huayu has been busy with her own affairs and has no time to care about the people around her.

 The name Zhang Xiaohua was mentioned by Wang on the second day after returning. This is the second time I heard it today.

 Gu Huayu searched hard, but still couldn't remember what Zhang Xiaohua looked like.

"Why did her brother hit her? Isn't she very diligent? Also, she doesn't know how to fight back or avoid it?" Gu Huayu asked casually.

Gu Chengjuan snorted coldly: "Why? Zhang Wu beat Zhang Xiaohua and never asked why. As long as the Zhang family is unhappy, everyone will take it out on Zhang Xiaohua. If Xiaohua dares to fight back, why not be beaten to death by the whole family?"

Gu Huayu frowned slightly and asked, "Everyone takes it out on her? Zhang Xiaohua's parents don't care?"

　　"What? If her father doesn't beat her, she will be like Amitabh."

Gu Huayu's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly and she continued to ask, "What about her mother-in-law? Watching them bully her daughter?"

Gu Chengjuan spat to the side angrily, "Aniang said that Mrs. Wu is partial, her son is a treasure in her eyes, and her daughter is redundant and a debt collector.

Taking what happened yesterday as an example, Xiaohua was beaten to death by Zhang Wu. When Wu saw it, not only did she not

Hunting Zhang Wu made me feel heartbroken. Did Zhang Wu hurt his hand?

She handed Zhang Wu a stick and said, "My brother Wu is dead, be careful because your hand hurts." My son, if you want to be beaten, use a stick instead of your hands. "

Gu Chengjuan imitated Wu's way of speaking while gesticulating.

"Xiaoyu, tell me, is this something humans do? After all, Xiaohua is also the flesh that fell from her body. How could she treat Xiaohua like this?"

Gu Huayu knew very well that in this era, men and women were extremely unequal, but after hearing this, she still felt angry and indignant.

Gu Huayu took a deep breath, calmed down her mind, and asked: "Second sister, are you on good terms with Zhang Xiaohua?"

Gu Chengjuan said, "I don't even want to be friends with her, I just pity her. My mother asked me to secretly give her steamed buns a few times."

"Give her steamed buns secretly? Her family won't give her food?" Gu Huayu's anger that she had finally suppressed rose again.

Gu Chengjuan whispered: "I heard Cheng Yu say that the Zhang family only gave Xiaohua porridge and did not let her eat dry rice. When her family was eating, Xiaohua could not serve the table, so she could only shrink into the woodshed alone and finish drinking the porridge. of."

 Gu Huayu felt uncomfortable hearing this and breathed out heavily, "Second sister, we have to pass Zhang's house when we go to the mountain. Let's find an excuse later and go in to see Zhang Xiaohua, okay?"

Gu Chengjuan's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Xiaoyu, you wait for me here, I'll go back and get a steamed bun and secretly give it to Xiaohua later, okay?"

Gu Huayu thought for a while and said, "Let me go with you. I'll get the medical kit. It may be needed later. You go to the kitchen to get food. By the way, in addition to the steamed buns, get a jar with some rice oil." ”

 Rice oil is used to nourish Gu Chengjiao’s health.

Gu Chengjuan responded cheerfully, "Okay."

 The two sisters went home separately, took what they needed, and then headed to Zhang's house together.

Gu Huayu and Gu Chengjuan arrived at the door of Zhang's house and saw that the courtyard door was not closed. Gu Chengjuan shouted inward: "Xiaohua, are you at home?"

I called several times, but no one responded.

Gu Chengjuan and Gu Huayu looked at each other, "Xiaoyu, it seems no one is at home."

Gu Huayu glanced at the messy yard and said to Gu Chengjuan: "Let's go and pick flowers first, then come back and take a look."

Gu Chengjuan nodded in agreement, and the two were preparing to leave when a question rang out in the yard, "Who is it?"

Gu Huayu turned around and looked over, and saw a yawning sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boy standing on the steps asking questions.

 Looking at this situation, this person must have just gotten up.

Gu Chengjuan raised her voice and said, "Zhang Wu, is Xiaohua at home?"

Gu Huayu's eyes fell on Zhang Wu, who was wearing a blue gown with many stains and a pair of cloth shoes on his feet. Xu often dragged them like this, and the shoe straps collapsed and stuck to the ground, making them dusty. …

After Zhang Wu saw Gu Chengjuan and Gu Huayu clearly, he walked to the courtyard gate with a smile, "It's the girl from the Gu family, come on, come on, please rest in the room."

Gu Chengjuan and Gu Huayu stood where they were and did not move. Gu Chengjuan asked again: "Is Xiaohua here? Let's look for her."

The Zhang family’s yard is not big, and as he spoke, Zhang Wu had already arrived in front of the two of them.

Zhang Wu looked at Gu Huayu and Gu Chengjuan with a playful smile, and finally his eyes fell on Gu Huayu's face, replying to Gu Chengjuan's words.

"You are looking for Xiaohua, why are you looking for her? Tell me the same thing."

Gu Chengjuan saw Zhang Wu sizing up Gu Huayu, and stretched out her hand to pull Gu Huayu behind her.

"How could it be the same? Let's look for Xiaohua and talk about girls. Is Xiaohua not at home?"

Zhang Wu originally wanted to say a few frivolous words, but then thought of the many men in the Gu family, so he didn't dare to say more, but his eyes were looking at Gu Huayu unscrupulously.

"Well, Xiaohua is not at home. The Gu family's sister went to sit in the yard, and I went to the mountain to find Xiaohua."

"Since Xiaohua is not at home, we won't sit down anymore. Farewell!" Gu Huayu replied.

Zhang Wu stared at Gu Huayu with curiosity and said exaggeratedly: "Hey! Does the little mute of the Gu family know how to speak?"

After being reminded by Zhang Wu, Gu Huayu suddenly remembered this nickname. How often had she been reticent?

Gu Chengjuan put down the basket, pushed Zhang Wu away, and said angrily: "Zhang Wu, please clear your mouth. Who did you just call mute? Huh?"

Zhang Wu didn't expect Gu Chengjuan to take action, so he staggered and took two steps back before he could regain his balance.

Seeing Gu Chengjuan glaring at him angrily, he suppressed the fire in his heart and said, "Xiao Juanzi, why are you angry? I didn't name her the little mute. Everyone in the village calls her that, okay?"

Gu Huayu didn't want to talk to this person, so she said to Gu Chengjuan: "Second sister, no need to talk more, let's go."

Gu Chengjuan bent down to pick up the basket and followed behind Gu Huayu.

"Well, girls from the Gu family, why are you looking for Xiaohua? How about I ask Xiaohua to look for you two later?" Zhang Wu said loudly.

 Gu Huayu said without turning her head, "No need."

The two of them walked up the mountain road. Gu Chengjuan scolded Zhang Wu angrily as they walked, and then said: "Oh, Xiaoyu, Xiaohua is obviously very seriously injured, why are you not at home today?"

Gu Huayu said lightly: "How could such a family let Zhang Xiaohua lie down at home?"

"Xiaoyu, you mean, Zhang Xiaohua went to work in the fields?" Gu Chengjuan looked at Gu Huayu in disbelief.

Gu Huayu reached out and pulled Gu Chengjuan to avoid the puddles on the road. "Second sister, be careful."

Gu Chengjuan jumped over the puddle, "Thank you, Xiaoyu, tell me, are the Zhang family too cruel? Xiaohua is too pitiful."

Gu Huayu did not answer the call. What can she say, the same people, different fates. Her reincarnation was a technical job, and Zhang Xiaohua was not very skilled, so she was cast into a family like this.

Gu Chengjuan sighed heavily and asked, "Xiaoyu, let's go to Zhang's house later, okay?"

Gu Huayu said: "Go pick the flowers first, and we'll talk about it later."

“Okay, let’s get closer from here.” Gu Chengjuan walked in front and led the way.

The two of them walked for a while when Gu Huayu saw a ragged girl leaning against a pine tree not far away and motioned to Gu Chengjuan, "Second sister, look over there."

Gu Chengjuan looked in the direction of Gu Huayu's finger and shouted in surprise, "Xiaohua! Xiaoyu, it's Xiaohua."
