It's enough to be beautiful [farming]

??Thinking about it, relying on the boundary of the mountain village, that is, some mountain products are still rare, and then there are vegetables, tomatoes, strawberries in the greenhouse, and others, it seems that they are not suitable for taking out old products.

??Gu Zhiwu said: "I have already prepared a lot..."

?? "The more the better." Li Yuan still did not give up.

??My big house, Uncle Zheng's side, went to Er Biaozi's house again, and finally went to Grandpa and Grandma's, which really made Li Yuan discover another very good specialty: purse.

??Now younger people seldom use needles and threads. Usually, those whose clothes are worn out are replaced with new ones directly. Anyway, it doesn’t cost a lot of money, so although basically every household will prepare needles and threads, they are only for emergency use. Yes, and no one will take it out to sew clothes or something.

??And at Li Jingying’s age, basically everyone has a sewing machine at home, the kind that uses electricity, like Li Buqun’s old-fashioned sewing machine with pedals. The sewing speed is fast, and the stitches are very fine. .

??Only grandpa and grandma are so old. When they were young, they didn’t have a sewing machine. They even had a spinning machine like a shuttle at home. They spun and weaved the cloth by themselves, and cut their clothes by themselves, stitch by stitch. sewn.

??At that time, basically every household sewed clothes by themselves, and they all had similar craftsmanship. For example, people with a slightly better life would use some cloth to sew purses, or to play with children, or to sell them. .

??It can be said that when Grandpa and Grandma were young, they still lived a life of men farming and women weaving. Later, when they grew up a little bit, some places were opened up, but life didn’t change for the better all of a sudden. In fact, they still lived the same Same day as before.

?? And up to now, Grandma has not let go of her needlework, and she still sews some small purses occasionally.

??Li Yuan thinks the small purse is very interesting. The stitches are fine and even, as if made by a machine, and there are no thread ends. There are also patterns embroidered on it, including lotus, lotus and so on. It looks very beautiful.It's just that they are wearing clothes that come out of the factory assembly line now, and it's a bit nondescript to hang a purse, but it doesn't have to be hung, it's also very good as a collectible.

?? So Li Yuan simply consulted with grandma, asking some in the village to have clear eyesight, free time, and good needlework. He went to buy needlework to make up for it, and asked the old people to help sew the purse, and then pay for it.

??When it comes to giving money, no one is unhappy, and some are embarrassed.

??Like grandma, she definitely doesn’t need money, so she just said, “I’ll sew a few more, you just take it.”

"Grandmother, I'm going to give this purse to senior brother as a gift, not for me to keep it, so the money must be given to me." Li Yuan insisted, and said, "Maybe it will be good for senior brother to give it away this time. Later, I have to ask grandma to continue sewing purses."

?? In this case, for the sake of the future, it is really bad not to take money.

??Materials, needlework, etc. are available in the town. Li Yuan bought them all after a trip, and brought them back to Grandma.

?? When the little old lady was waiting for the sun to rise during the day, she strolled around the old house nearby, and the task was assigned.

?? On the day Gu Zhiwu was about to leave, Li Yuan went to look for Grandma and took a lot of purses at once.

??He came to the big house with so many purses, each of which was packed in a box. Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the floor, and sighed with emotion while he was busy, "Thinking about the days before, it was really hard. Do it yourself."

?? Clothes are spun, weaved, and then sewn stitch by stitch. Not only does it take a lot of work, but it takes time to do all the work, and you have to work in the fields at ordinary times, let alone if you have Children, and children have to be taken care of, almost as if one person is used by several people.

??And there was no chemical fertilizer at that time, and the seeds in the field were not new varieties cultivated. No matter how the fields were cultivated, the output was very limited, which led to many people not being able to eat enough all year round.

?? "Your grandpa and grandma survived the hard times." Uncle Zheng squatted by the side to handle the mushrooms, so said.

Aunt Zheng laughed, "Actually, it's all the same. Life looks good now, but there are also many people who rely on grain from the fields all year round. It's not easy to save money to support their children's education."

"That's right, there are all kinds of hard times." Li Yuan also laughed.

?? Even if some people seem to be living a good life now, but their children are not filial, the life of the elderly is actually the same as before, and they have to rely on themselves to eat and drink.

?? Anyway, there are all kinds of strange things in the hard days, and all kinds of things will happen, and there is nothing inconceivable.

??The mushrooms and purses were packed and sent to the bullock cart together. Li Yuan drove the cart and sent Gu Zhiwu to the town.

?? These days, Gu Zhiwu has been living in the village. He dresses similarly to Li Yuan. Sometimes he wears a thick down jacket that looks a bit bloated, and sometimes he wears a thicker cotton jacket. The shoes are all made by Aunt Zheng. The big cotton shoes look like a big fat steamed bun on the feet.

??I want to dress better, but I also have thick fur clothes, but it is inconvenient to work, so I have to give up temporarily.

?? Now that he is about to leave, Gu Zhiwu is still wearing a thick padded jacket, which makes him seem to blend in with this place, as if he is completely separated from the outside world and is out of place.

"Senior brother's hair is a bit long." Li Yuan smiled, "Wait to go to the city to tidy up well, don't let people think that senior brother has gone to the mountains to become a savage."

??Boys' hair is inherently short, and it looks particularly obvious when it grows a little longer.

?? Gu Zhiwu doesn't look like an elite who came back from abroad now, but really looks like a wild man in the mountains.

?? "Yuanyuan, you are more and more like the teacher." Gu Zhiwu said so.

??Before leaving the big house, Xu Jinmian also said the same thing.

"I can't compare to the teacher." Li Yuan sat on the bullock cart with his hands in his hands.

??Gu Zhiwu smiled and said nothing.

??The road is still very windy and dusty, and the surface of the asphalt road is dusty, giving people a very unclean feeling.

??The car came very quickly, not a passenger car, but a special car from the city. It looked very impressive when parked on the side of the road.

??Gu Zhiwu was standing by the car, his painting style seemed inconsistent.

?? "Brother." Li Yuan yelled while sitting on the bullock cart.

?? Gu Zhiwu waved his hand and got into the car.

??The car quickly turned around, stepped on the accelerator, and just left.

?? At this time, there are more people in the town than before. Some young people who have been working outside all year round have returned, and most of them bring their children to the town to buy New Year's goods.

??Working part-time for a year, I must have saved some money. It is obvious when I come to the town to buy things. I buy pork and so on. For the children, they will also buy brand new small bicycles for the children.

?? Li Yuan bought some meat and put it on the ox cart, so he went back.

??Back to the big house, Xu Jinmian is not in the living room. Li Yuan knows that Gu Zhiwu is gone. He wants to help share part of the work. Now he must be researching the subject in the studio.

?? Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng are not here. They must be busy at home.

?? Qi Changqing has been in the study, very busy.

?? Miao Xing is not there, she must have gone to Aunt Zheng's house together.

??The big house seemed to become empty in an instant.

??The little fox got out of Li Yuan's arms, jumped onto the sofa, stretched out his head to smell the smell of the living room, and didn't know what he was studying.

?? Hongdou rushed down from the upstairs, and ran round to Li Yuan's feet, wagging his tail quickly.Behind him, from left to right, two generals, Heidou and Huangdou, also rushed over, looking up at Li Yuan with wet eyes.

??These three little guys seem to have a genetic mutation. Obviously, the bitches who gave birth to them are very big and mighty, but they seem to have grown wildly a while ago, and now they don’t grow very much. Look at the shoulder height, it’s not too much Half of a bitch, and chubby, not mighty at all.

?? There is a dog barking far away outside.

?? Red Dou was distracted, and quickly ran over there, pricking up his ears to listen.

?? Li Yuan sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and played the news broadcast.

??The little fox jumped over, climbed onto Li Yuan's lap, rolled himself into a ball, and watched the TV with black eyes.

??It seems that after Gu Zhiwu left, everything changed.

??The voices on TV are always so stereotyped that sometimes Li Yuan feels that he can memorize those lines, which makes him fall asleep after watching it for a while.

?? It happened that the sofa was very soft, and there was no one else in the living room, so Li Yuan simply fell to the side, hugged the little fox with one hand, and fell asleep like this.

?? I didn't know how long I slept in a daze. The living room seemed to be lively again. Li Yuan opened his eyes and saw Xu Jinmian sitting cross-legged on the opposite sofa, holding a teacup, drinking tea as usual.

??I covered myself with a blanket, no wonder I felt warmer and warmer as I fell asleep.

"Are you awake?" Xu Jinmian squeezed a strawberry and put it in his mouth, looking very leisurely.

"What time is it?" Li Yuan rubbed his eyes, feeling a little hungry.

"It's getting dark soon." Xu Jinmian said.

??That is to say, I didn't make lunch or eat it, and I just waited for dinner.

"Senior brother is home, I'm still a little uncomfortable." Li Yuan hugged a pillow in his arms, while watching the little fox curled up on another pillow, "Teacher, what's your brother's house like?"

?? "Your senior brother will come back to work immediately after the new year, so there is nothing wrong with it." Xu Jinmian was very calm.

??Of course Li Yuan knew that Gu Zhiwu would come back after the Chinese New Year, but this is not because they are separated during the Chinese New Year. They are always different from usual. Still friends."

?? For Li Buqun, what does Chinese New Year mean?

??The family must be reunited, just like Li Yuan did not go home for the New Year at school, then Li Buqun and Zhang Meixin must call him several times to scold him, and Li Jingying scolded him more times, and then gave Li Yuan instructions : Ask Li Yuan how much money he has left, and then arrange a task for Li Yuan, let him spend all the money in his hand to buy New Year's goods for his family, and just like this, he has to scold Li Yuan for not being filial if he doesn't go home for a reunion.

??Now that Gu Zhiwu has returned home, Li Yuan knows in his heart that this is normal, but he can’t help but substitute himself, and can’t help but think: If Gu Zhiwu can’t be happy when he returns home, wouldn’t he stay? Can you be happier with everyone in Kaoshan Village?

?? That's why he couldn't help but ask Xu Jinmian.

??Xu Jinmian never specifically mentioned Gu Zhiwu's family, but now that Li Yuan asked, he said, "Little Wuzi's family is very good, brothers and friends are respectful, parents are harmonious, it is a rare happy family. "

?? Now Li Yuan understood that Gu Zhiwu really wanted to go home for the New Year. He went back for happiness, not for misfortune.

?? It seems that something that I can't figure out suddenly becomes clear in an instant.

??The rebroadcast of the news on TV is over, and the variety show has started, which has already been linked to the Chinese New Year, and there are corresponding scenes.

??Li Yuan got up, picked up the little fox and put it on his shoulder, and went to the kitchen to prepare for cooking.

?? There is everything in the refrigerator. There is a piece of tofu on the chopping board, which Aunt Zheng brought over in the morning.When Li Yuan sent Gu Zhiwu to the town in the morning, he bought some fresh meat, and there were many vegetables in the basket on the ground.

?? Simply do not cook, eat hot pot directly.

??The broth has long been boiled and frozen in the refrigerator. Now it can be used after it is thawed out. The meat is slightly frozen, cut into thin slices and placed on a plate. When eating, put it directly into the pot.

??On the dinner table were Xu Jinmian, Li Yuan, and Qi Changqing. Miao Xing ate directly at Aunt Zheng's and planned to live there at night, but she didn't come.

?? While eating, Li Yuan talked about the next arrangement, "We will not grow vegetables for the time being during the Chinese New Year, and there are still enough leftovers in the greenhouse for us to eat. The small tomato plants also just need to be replaced..."
