There is a girl in the village

In the early morning of the next day, Aunt Yang brought Yang Rong to the Lu family. Lu Yuanchang and Gu Xiaofu got up early and waited at home.

Putting the Lu family's farm cattle on the cart, Lu Yuanchang and Yang Rong put piles of dried meat on the cart.

Aunt Yang saw a cart full of meat, and asked with some distress: "How much are you planning to give away?"

"Auntie, yesterday the village head said that there were sixteen households. Dalang had already cut the meat last night. Each piece was about ten catties, and each family gave one piece. There was also a piece of roe deer meat, which Dalang specially left for the auntie. Yes, please don’t hold it against me, ma’am.”

"What are you two children going to do? We are a family, so there is no need to be so polite." Aunt Yang said, she was not pretending to be polite, but really felt that Lu Yuanchang and Gu Xiaofu were too polite to do so. Birth division, the Yang and Lu families have broken the bones and tendons, which family still lacks such a mouthful.

However, when Aunt Yang looked at the piece of roe deer meat, she knew that Lu Yuanchang cared about the Yang family. Compared with the dried meat on the car, the piece of roe deer meat was obviously much better. I am afraid that it was specially reserved by Lu Yuanchang for her family. .

Last night, after Lu Yuanchang and Gu Xiaofu played a little ambiguous game of look at me and look at you for a while, they went to the cellar to divide the meat together.

Although there is a lot of meat in the cellar, there are not many high-quality ones. Gu Xiaofu kept them all. Lu Yuanchang likes to eat meat and planned to keep them for her. Winter is coming, and hunting in the mountains is not easy. Gu Xiaofu feels sorry for Lu Yuan Chang, I don't want her to have to work hard to run up the mountain in order to eat meat.

There was a lot of medium meat, so after discussing with each other, the two sorted out some of the medium meat, and divided them roughly according to ten catties per household.A catty of meat can be sold for seven to ten yuan in the city, which is considered a heavy gift.A family of ten catties of meat can save some food, and they can eat it for a month.

There are still a lot of low-grade meat that Lu Yuanchang doesn't like at all, so Gu Xiaofu decides to distribute some to the tenants when they come to pay the rent. He devoted himself even more to farming for the Lu family.

Lu Yuanchang naturally nodded in agreement. She faintly felt Gu Xiaofu's ability to run a house, proficient in all housework, and good interpersonal relationships. These are exactly what Lu Yuanchang lacked. Lu Yuanchang felt that spending 20 Two silver coins bought Gu Xiaofu, this deal was too cost-effective.

After Lu Yuanchang and Yang Rong put away the meat, Gu Xiaofu went out with Aunt Yang, Yang Rong pulled the cart behind, and Lu Yuanchang was reading at home. She knew that even if she was delivering the meat, No family member would be happy to see her, so they simply stopped going, and she couldn't hold back her face anyway.

The people who received the meat from Lu's family were very happy. The autumn harvest will be in two days, so they can cook some meat dishes so that the men in the family can work hard. They are very grateful to Gu Xiaofu and to Lu Yuan Chang's prejudice is also less.

Those who didn't receive the meat were so red-eyed, who wouldn't want a whole ten catties of meat.It's only because my family didn't help Lu Yuanchang because of their contempt for it, so I lost ten catties of meat.

Gu Xiaofu had been busy all morning, and did not finish dividing the meat until noon. She thanked Aunt Yang and Yang Rong, and hurried home to cook for Lu Yuanchang.

In the village, because of the meat-distribution incident, it suddenly became popular, and meat was talked about everywhere. Of course, Gu Xiaofu would not be missing from the topic.

Gu Xiaofu was wearing Zhenniang's clothes that day, and appeared in the eyes of everyone with glory. Her sallow face had become a little fair, her skin looked dewy, and her thin body began to plump due to the improvement of her condition. The bright clothes on her body made her look so lively and lovely.

When the men in the village saw him, they sighed that Lu Yuanchang was so lucky, so what if he couldn't marry a wife all the time, no, he got such a beautiful little lady, and he earned everything back.

And the gossiping women in the village were all discussing the rumors about Lu Yuanchang's seven evil spirits. After all, Gu Xiaofu's changes were obvious to all. Could it be that the rumors were not true?But most people still take it seriously, after all, the facts of the past are there, so they can't help but believe it, but Gu Xiaofu's fate is "Shao Xing Chong", so she can withstand Lu Yuanchang's evil spirit.

For a moment, Gu Xiaofu's fate suddenly became precious, and Lu Yuanchang, who lived with Gu Xiaofu in the formation, was no longer scary.

When she was at Zheng's house, many women would talk to Gu Xiaofu when she went to wash clothes by the stream in the morning, but since she went to Lu's house, no one dared to talk to her except Wanniang and Zhenniang.

Ever since her "precious" fate subdued Lu Yuanchang's evil spirit, many women were willing to talk to her, and sometimes those women would talk to her about Lu Yuanchang, why is your big man hurting you? Are you done?What is your Dalang doing at home these days?

In short, the villagers' views on Lu Yuanchang have changed very clearly. Lu Yuanchang is very happy, but Gu Xiaofu's happiness is not to be mentioned. There is a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth all day long. Once Lu Yuanchang sees it, he will be like that. As if he lost his mind, his eyes were only glued to Gu Xiaofu's body, and he couldn't even pull them away.

The autumn harvest is in full swing, and everyone in the village is busy from morning to night. This year is considered to be a good year. The wheat in the field is very full. Everyone is enthusiastic, and everyone's face is filled with the joy of harvest.

Of course, the Zheng family must not be able to laugh. Father Gu and Gu Dalang flooded the fields of the Zheng family. After the father and son of the Gu family left, Aunt Zheng quickly dug a hole to drain water, but after all, the entire field was flooded, and the harvest was naturally not good. Other people's home is good.

Zheng Da was lying on the kang, and she definitely couldn't get down to the ground. The entire acre of land had to be harvested by Mrs. Zheng alone, and it took only one day for her to be so tired that her whole body ached.

Harvesting wheat is an extremely labor-intensive task. First, harvesting wheat and cutting the bottom of the stalks with a sickle means you have to bend over all the time. After a day, you can’t straighten your waist. Of course, this is not the hardest part.The harvested wheat is transported to the wheat threshing ground with the straw for threshing (that is, taking off the wheat grains). People carry heavy stones on their backs to crush the paved wheat. The stone mills are very heavy, and better people can rent them. With the help of cows or snails, it will be miserable if it is worse, and it can only be pulled by people. It only takes a few sticks of incense, and the back will be red and swollen.

After the threshing is over, the straw can be put away, and the wheat can be bagged and transported home. When the weather is fine, the wheat will be taken out and dried in the sun for about ten days before the autumn harvest is completed.

All the work is heavy labor, and the family has animal power or a strong man. If it is just a woman, it will take ten days to harvest one mu of land, and it will not be finished.

In the past, the Zheng family used to go to battle as a whole family, and even Zheng Er would come back to help the family collect grain, so it would take two days to harvest an acre of land. The current situation can be imagined, Mrs. Zheng is I can't tell the pain.

No matter how tired the villagers were, it was none of the Lu family's business. As a small landlord, Lu Yuanchang stayed at home all day, either sleeping, punching, reading, or staring at Gu Xiaofu in a daze. His life was very comfortable.

But Gu Xiaofu is not used to it. In the past, this kind of time was her busiest time. Now that she doesn't have to do anything, she is almost sick.So, she changed ways to make delicious food for Lu Yuanchang, either thinking about the rent for this season, or learning how to read with Lu Yuanchang, the most leisurely thing.

Early this morning, Gu Xiaofu had just finished dressing Lu Yuanchang when there was a knock on the gate of Lu's courtyard.

Knocking on the door of Lu's house was definitely not an ordinary thing, Lu Yuanchang rushed to open the courtyard door without washing his face, who would have expected to see Hua Erlang and his wife, Wanniang.

"Second Brother Hua, why did you come to my house this morning?" Lu Yuanchang asked in surprise.

Hua Erlang looked a little embarrassed, Wanniang was very helpless when she saw it, and said: "Last night, the cow in my house stopped eating grass for some reason. My husband went to have a look this morning, but he saw that his limbs were weak, and he fell on the ground. on the ground."

Gu Xiaofu rushed out when she heard the sound. Hearing this, she knew that the Hua family's cattle were sick.

The Hua family is also considered to be in a good family in Luoxi Village. Their family has two acres of paddy fields and three acres of dry land. Because of the large number of fields, the family also raises cattle.In Luoxi Village, apart from the Lu family, the Yang family and the Hua family, there is another Sun family with cattle.

The cost of raising cattle is high, and there is a lot of fodder every day. Sometimes when you get sick, you have to call a veterinarian, and the diagnosis and treatment costs are higher, so ordinary people cannot afford it.When it comes to the summer harvest and the autumn harvest, better families will rent it from those who have cattle, renting for forty Wen a day, plus a day's fodder money.

The Lu family has cattle, which are prepared for the tenants. If the tenants borrow cattle from the Lu family, they only need to manage the fodder and do not charge rent.The Lu family has ten mu of paddy fields. If they rely solely on manpower, the farming work will definitely be delayed. Sometimes when it rains, the harvest will be greatly reduced. Therefore, when Aunt Lu Yuanchang was still there, the Lu family had already raised cattle. The Lu family didn't have to worry about the cattle at all after finding the children of the tenant's family, but it was just a few extra copper coins.

Seeing Lu Yuanchang looking at him, Hua Erlang said bravely, "The cattle at home are sick, and the grain in the field has not been harvested yet. Can I rent Dalang's cattle today?"

"Today the tenants in the family also need cattle." Lu Yuanchang said lightly.

Hua Erlang's expression turned ugly when he heard the words. He listened to Wanniang's words, so he came to the Lu family to try under the pressure of his family. Now that Lu Yuanchang refused, he had to be pointed at his nose and scolded by his mother when he returned home.

Wanniang also had a bad complexion, if she couldn't borrow a cow, she would definitely end up worse than Hua Erlang after returning home, she looked at Gu Xiaofu with pleading in her eyes.

Gu Xiaofu naturally received Wanniang's gaze, and she was quite embarrassed, after all, it is very normal to be close to her own tenants first, but Wanniang is her confidant, Gu Xiaofu understands that if she is not in the Lu family, what will Wanniang do? It's hard to come here.

"Da Lang..." Gu Xiaofu struggled a bit, but still planned to say hello to the Hua family.

Lu Yuanchang looked back at Gu Xiaofu, and understood her thoughts. She thought about it, and said to Hua Erlang: "You guys come to pick up the cattle at noon, the rent is not required, you can just take care of the fodder, you can only borrow it for half a day, and you can borrow it for half a day at night. Take care of the cow and bring it back."

When Hua Erlang and his wife heard the words, they immediately laughed and said that there was not much food left in his family, and half a day was enough, so they went back with gratitude.

"Wanniang, as you said, Lu Dalang is very kind to Funiang." Hua Erlang said with emotion.

"Although Fu Niang doesn't say much on weekdays, I can see that Lu Dalang is good to Fu Niang, so I dare to try it. I didn't expect Lu Dalang to be so caring about Fu Niang. If it wasn't for Fu Niang's help, what happened today It must be difficult. Fu Niang has finally come to the end of her hardships." Wan Niang nodded and said.

Looking at Gu Xiaofu's treatment, Wanniang was very happy for her. Now no one is busy, only the Lu family is in a panic.

"It's not a bad thing for Lu Dalang to come here today to borrow cattle. Her family's ten mu of land has a lot of space for cattle. It's not easy to spare half a day to borrow cattle from us," Hua Erlang said.

"Fu Niang once said that I have to go to Lu's house to talk, my husband can let me go?" Wan Niang used to do needlework with Gu Xiaofu, but now that Gu Xiaofu has gone to Lu's house, she has no one to talk to. People are gone.

"I'm the one at home, so you go on your own. Hasn't Lu Dalang's rumor been broken by Fu Niang?" Hua Erlang said.

So, inexplicably, Lu Yuanchang's seven-kill star fate was "broken" by Gu Xiaofu.
