Physician and Food [Farming]

After Yunyan took the people away, Gouwa grabbed two handfuls of snacks from the lock and let him squat by the stove to eat slowly.Go to the neighbor's house first to see your own livestock.

Neither pig survived the winter.I ate meat after freezing to death, and now only some bacon remains.Gou Wa didn't want it, so they said they would buy two piglets to accompany Gou Wa.Although it was a loss for two piglets that already weighed [-] catties to exchange for two piglets, they were raised by others after all. The price difference was the hard work paid to them at that time.Three of the chickens died, and the rest were languid.Gou Wa brought the chickens home and fed them two large bowls of cornmeal mixed with soybean noodles.

Then he went to the tenant's house of his own land to redeem the land.It just happened that last winter came early, and the harvest in the field was not very good.The other party only wanted ten copper coins for breach of contract, and then returned it to Gou Wa.

Gou Wa went home, fried the bacon and dried beans brought back from Dong Guo’s house, cooked a pot of salty soup with bacon, and ate with Suo Tou. In the afternoon, he went to visit the bricklayer and carpenter in the village , strive to build up the new home as soon as possible.

But this early spring.Every household is busy with spring planting, and Gouwa pays more wages, but it can't attract many people.

Gouwa is not greedy either. He works in the fields every morning and evening, and returns to the village to cook at noon. He supports the people who build houses and watches their new homes being built bit by bit.

Although tired, it is also fulfilling.Suo Tou was sent to school in the county again.Gou Wa bought an ox cart, and still picks up people every five days.

After I went to work in the field, the wind and the sun were exposed to the sun every day, and the white and fat dog that I raised all winter turned dark again.But even though he was darker, his physique was stronger than before.

Gouwa's family doesn't have much land, only four acres in total.Although there is only one person working, it took ten or eight days, and the planting was done slowly.

After planting, Gouwa focused on the new house.Because there is enough money, the new houses are all made of green bricks.Red tiles for the roof.Such a house is expensive to build, but it will not collapse for several generations.The collapsed straw roof of the old house is a shadow in Gouwa's heart, so no matter how stingy he is, he is willing to spend money on this aspect.

After the elder brother of the Wu family finished his work at home, he would bring his son over to help.Sometimes the sister-in-law of the Wu family would come over to take a look with her daughter in her arms.Father and son don't do much work, but they don't need wages either.His son is envious of Suo Tou having a big house, and there are more and more topics with him.But Xu Shi is used to walking alone in the village, and most of the time, the Wu family boy who is two heads taller than him follows behind Suo Tou's buttocks.

Seeing that the overall framework has come out, it will be completed in more than a month.No matter how busy Gouwa is, he is always satisfied.

And half a month after he came back, in the afternoon, he met Liu Si's daughter-in-law and dragged her to her house for dinner.The reason is that Liu Xiu got a family leave and came out from the mansion of a rich family to visit his parents.

The clan members of Liu's family are all at Liu Si's house now, Liu Xiu is thinking about Gou Wa, if Gou Wa doesn't arrive, he can't wait to come and look for Gou Wa by himself.Liu Si had no choice but to call Gou Wa over first.

Gouwa coaxed this aunt into the city at the beginning, what Liu Si thought was that the left and right daughters would only stay at home for a day or two.Just make a fuss and wait for Liu Xiu to come back from her vacation.The left and right daughters are still young, so maybe they figured it out after two years.

People come over and ask Gou Wa to come over, but Gou Wa can't refute what they mean.I went back and washed my face, changed into clean clothes and went.

At this time, Liu Si's house was full of people inside and outside.It has been a few years since no one in the village went to the city to work as a servant girl. Now that this girl is back, it is a big event for the village.

As soon as Gouwa came, he got everyone's attention.There is curiosity, sympathy, and some people are ridiculed with watching the excitement.Gouwa was a little uncomfortable, and all the way into the house, he saw Liu Xiu'er, who was sitting on the kang among the crowd, wearing silk and satin clothes, except for a few elders of Liu's family, who were all female relatives.

When Liu Xiu'er saw Gou Wa, her eyes lit up.

"Brother Gouwa." Liu Xiu gained weight twice, and became much fairer.For more than half a year, it is obvious that life is going well.Not only does the person look better, but the divine demeanor also looks much better.

"Xiu'er." Gou Wa only smiled at her.

Seeing him, Liu Xiu'er was in a good mood. She stood up and walked over, saying, "How about you come in? I wanted to come back a few years ago. It's just that there are not many people in the mansion, and we need to hire people. Madam won't let them go. Now I'm going to let you go." Granted my leave. Where's the lock? Why didn't you bring it?"

The two have grown up playing small games.So other people in the village are afraid of Xiaosuo, but Liu Xiu is not afraid.

"I'm going to study." Gouwa said, "I saved some money last year, so I wanted to let Suo Tou read two characters. And the price is much cheaper than expected, so I have been reading it until now. Now I have read hundreds of words." He has a few words, but he can still write. He can also say some polite words like "Hu Zhe Ye". He is promising."

"Study is good. I also saw the men and ladies in the mansion read and know how to read, so I know it's good. I also suffered from being illiterate, and I can't do a lot of work." I found a string of wreaths, "By the way, I brought this back specially for the lock. The red beads at the bottom are said to have been consecrated by the old monk. This is a reward from the top during the Chinese New Year. You know I don't always like to carry such things. The lock would be just right."

Of course Gouwa knows Liu Xiuer.People in the village are saying that Suotou is a disaster, and many people believe it.Including Liu Xiu.It's just that what Liu Xiu thought about was not how to hide, but how to get rid of this bad luck.So I specially want to give this to Suotou.Nature is kind.

It's just that now that the engagement between the two of them has been withdrawn, it's hard to accept this thing.

"Since this is the case, you should take it with you. There is a lot of gossip in the house. If you carry this with you, fourth uncle and fourth aunt will feel more at ease." Gouwa pushed Yingluo back, "Let's talk about it. How old is Suotou?" , it was the time when the cockfighting dog was annoying. It was so naughty. I gave him such a good thing, and within two days, it was either lost or disassembled to play with beads. It was a waste of a good thing.”

Hearing this, Liu Xiu'er tilted her head and looked at it for a while.Gouwa felt a little guilty when she saw her, and asked uncomfortably, "What's wrong?"

"I haven't seen you for a few months. Brother, you seem to be able to talk. I never knew that you, second brother, will have a day when you are eloquent."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present laughed.Gouwa is not thick-skinned at all, and the tips of his ears turned red when he heard this.

At this time, a woman came in from the outside: "Chen Jia Erlang, there is a well-dressed man outside calling to see you."

Everyone in the house peeped at each other, who could find someone to find this place?

Liu Xiu'er didn't know why, so she looked at Gou Wa.Gou Wa has a guess in his heart, but he is not sure.Embarrassed smile.He raised his legs and went out, followed by Liu Xiu'er.

Yun Yan led two servants and stood outside the yard with no expression on his face.Only the two servants who had been with Yunyan for a while understood that Master Yun was in a bad mood right now.

Gou Wa saw someone as soon as he went out, and said with a smile, "Young master is here. How did you find this place?"

Liu Xiu'er saw the Yunyan people clearly, she was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Master Yun?"

Yun Yan glanced over and felt familiar: "You are..."

"I'm Dongxiu'er from Zhao Wuye's residence. I went to Baifu to deliver things a few years ago."

How could Yun Yan remember this, but Liu Xiu'er's identity is clear when mentioning Zhao Wuye.

Yun Yan looked at Gou Wa: "Do you recognize it?"

Gouwa was afraid that Yunyan would ask something, so he had to be vague and then changed the subject: "We are Faxiao. By the way, Xiaoye... Is there something wrong with Brother Tiedan?"

Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Yun Yan didn't ask any more questions.He has been a man of propriety since he was a child, and he will not delay official business because of personal matters.

"Grandpa is coming tomorrow. I'm specially ordered to come over and tell you, in case you're all ready. By the way, let me know if there's anything you're missing, so I can go back and report it to Grandpa, and I'll bring it here tomorrow."

Gou Wa said as he walked out: "Cheng, what else can he lack for his love. I'll go prepare the ingredients today. You've been exhausted, and it's been really hard work. Let's stay for a bowl of tea. This tea is still the best tea brought back from Uncle Dong Guo’s house last time.”

Seeing Gouwa's anxious look, Yunyan knew that he had something on his mind, so she didn't say anything, but she didn't refuse.Let Gou Wa go ahead and leave.

Liu Xiu'er didn't even have a chance to speak again, so she saw that Gou Wa had already left.I want to chase him out, but I'm afraid that the business will be delayed.

Liu Si's daughter-in-law saw that the person had left, so she went to Liu Xiu'er's side to inquire about the situation.

How did Liu Xiuer know?

"The Bai family is a well-known family in the county. Now the whole family has moved to Beijing, leaving only the third-bedroom uncle. That uncle is the one who the men I serve sharpen their heads and want to curry favor with. The young man is Uncle Sanfang has the most face around me, and my grandfather should be more polite when he sees him." Liu Xiu'er's status after entering the mansion is not high, and it is not easy to know this.

"How did Gou Wa know such a big background." Liu Si's daughter-in-law said in disbelief, "He has only been out of the village a few times."

Liu Sidao: "You forgot, he moved away just after the Chinese New Year this year, and when he came back, he brought back a big cart and things. He always said that there are noble people who take pity on him."

"So, this noble person is that young master?" Be good, Liu Si's daughter-in-law's heart beat faster.

What kind of great luck did this dog boy have to meet such a remarkable person.

Liu Xiu'er bit her lip, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.On the one hand, feel refreshed.For many years, people around her have not been optimistic about Gouwa, but she is the only one who is optimistic.Now this alone is enough to show that her vision is fine.Gou Wa is promising.On the other hand, Gouwa knows such a character, and his status will naturally increase.I thought I wanted to help Gouwa, but now I can't.

Anyway, future is a good thing.

Gouwa finally returned home.The water on the stove was still hot, so he took out a large bowl and made four bowls of tea.
