Shiqiao Village is no longer the Shiqiao Village it used to be.

Even Gu Qing clearly felt that it was different from the past, when he just woke up in this strange world, after cleaning up Ding Erlang, he looked at this world for the first time, the surrounding villagers had nothing to do with themselves, watching the excitement from a distance, with a smile on their faces, but Gu Qing could see that their hearts were numb, like Mr. Lu Xun's spectators who watched the beheading.

Gu Qing didn't blame them, because they were just strangers, he had never had any expectations for strangers, and strangers lived up to expectations, and they were really not worth his expectations.

Later, Gu Qing conquered the Ding brothers with his fists, and also established his authority in Shiqiao Village. The villagers begin to be in awe of him, and when a person establishes his authority in the group, he will find himself in a lot more social. As long as you go out and meet the villagers, you can get their sincere and fearful salutes, as well as extremely embarrassing conversations, and the word "awe" has become a label firmly attached to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing didn't mind what labels others put on him, in fact, he still regarded the villagers as strangers until now, and he didn't need to pour too much personal emotions into strangers.

However, the villagers' impression of Gu Qing gradually changed.

Gu Qing eradicated the village tyrant, Gu Qing built a pottery kiln, Gu Qing invited the villagers to work in the pottery kiln, paid them a gratuity, and subsidized the poor life, Gu Qing even invited the poorest Yang family mother and daughter in the village to cook, for which he had to pay more than a dozen people for a meal a day, as well as the Yang family's mother and daughter's honorarium......

In fact, Gu Qing didn't mean anything else when he did these things, eradicating the village tyrants was just because they provoked themselves, building a pottery kiln just because he wanted to make money to buy meat to eat, and hiring someone to work because the production of the pottery kiln could not be delayed, everything was just Gu Qing's heart, but in the eyes of the villagers, these were all good deeds.

Regardless of the starting point, Gu Qing actually gave everyone in Shiqiao Village a better life.

The villagers no longer have to worry about food and clothing, they don't have enough food to eat, they can still use their labor to earn money to buy food, and they can even afford to eat meat and wear new clothes.

Gu Qing's unintentional move changed a village.

However, Gu Qing is still Gu Qing, he has not changed. In his previous life, he had seen a lot of human warmth and warmth, and had experienced the good and evil of people's hearts, but he was still wary of others, like a wandering beast that had lost its way, instinctively rejecting all the kind hands that stretched out to it.

The weather was a little hot, and there was a little coolness in the hot summer evening breeze.

After eating, Gu Qing sat paralyzed in the courtyard, looking up at the sky in a daze. You don't necessarily have to think about anything when you're in a daze, and it's not a blessing in life to let your mind empty and waste your time in a blank space.

Summer is almost over, maybe you should go to Qingcheng County for a walk, buy yourself a few winter clothes, if you have enough money, by the way buy some paper and pen for Song Gensheng, readers like to write and draw, this year's paper and pen are luxury, my father can't afford it, Gu Qing has to take on this heavy responsibility.

There was a knock on the door of the house, and the knock was very soft, and Gu Qing could hear the meaning of caution through the door.

It's definitely not Song Gensheng, after that guy found out that Gu Qing didn't beat people easily, his courage gradually grew, and he never knocked on the door when he entered and exited Gu's house, and he was really at home.

So it wasn't Song Gensheng who knocked on the door at the moment.

"Push the door in yourself." Gu Qing was paralyzed in the middle of the courtyard and didn't move, not even bothering to lift his eyelids. Just had dinner and was a little sleepy.

The door was pushed open, and Feng Aweng walked in step by step on crutches.

Feng Aweng's face was much more ruddy than before, obviously he had a good life recently, with his age and disabled body, it was naturally impossible to go to the pottery kiln to work, but who called him a respected old man in the village, Gu Qing saw that he was living a pitiful life alone, and instructed the mother and daughter of the Yang family to leave a copy for Feng Aweng after cooking every day.

The pottery kiln was sold in several batches, Gu Qing's income gradually increased, and yesterday he counted his savings, and there was a consistent amount, this is a huge amount of money, walking in his arms can bring the wind, and it is nothing to take care of an old man's food.

Feng Aweng was very polite when he came to the door today, and he actually carried a gift in his hand.

Walking to the middle of the courtyard with crutches, Feng Aweng put the gift on the low table, sat on the futon, and gently beat his leg.

Gu Qing glanced at the low table, Feng Aweng brought some dried fruits and other things, Gu Qing was really confused, what does it mean to bring dried fruits? Are you here to see the Monkey King at the zoo?

Seeing Gu Qing's stunned face, Feng Aweng smiled: "Silly boy, have you forgotten about today's holiday?" ”

"What's the festival?"

"Mid-Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival to worship the moon, after the moon worship and then admire the moon, but the big festival, dare not slack off, you live alone, I know you must have been sloppy to deal with, brought you some sacrifices, worship the moon god must be sincere, how can empty-handed worship be considered sincere?"

Gu Qing suddenly realized, it turned out that the people of the Tang Dynasty wanted to worship the moon god during the Mid-Autumn Festival, compared to forcing others to call him Dad, this kind of ritual was obviously more mysterious and high-end, and it felt very powerful.

"What about mooncakes? Don't eat mooncakes? Gu Qing asked curiously.

Feng Aweng was stunned: "What is 'moon cake'?" ”

Gu Qing gestured: "Round, made of flour, with stuffing in it, bean paste or lotus paste can be, anyway, you can't ask for five kernels, otherwise you will be an enemy who does not share the sky." ”

Feng Aweng was confused: "The old man has never heard of 'moon cakes', and he vaguely remembers that there are people in the south who eat Taishi cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is said to commemorate the Shang Dynasty's Taishi Wenzhong......"

The Mid-Autumn Festival without mooncakes is soulless.

But Gu Qing didn't care, he was used to being lonely in his previous life, basically all the festivals were spent alone, gradually, he had no concept of festivals, for him, every day was lonely, especially festivals.

Of course, basic social etiquette is still required.

"Thank you, Von Awen." Gu Qing smiled and thanked him.

Feng Aweng didn't seem to have the intention of leaving, but instead sat on the futon with his legs stretched out, looking sideways at Gu Qing, his eyes full of pity and guilt.

"All these years, you've been spending the holidays alone, right?"

Gu Qing smiled and didn't speak.

Feng Aweng sighed: "Our village is too poor, so poor that it is difficult to provide food and clothing, so poor that people are indifferent, your father and mother left you, I don't know how much I have been bullied since I was a child, but we adults can't take care of it, there are too many orphans in the village, and the adults can't even protect themselves, where can we take care of others, Gu Qing, you don't hate us, we are not bad, we are just hungry for a long time, and we have forgotten how to behave......"

Gu Qing smiled gently: "I don't hate. ”

Feng Aweng sighed again: "The first time I fought back against the Ding brothers, I guess you really can't bear it, in fact, the whole village is very glad that you were suddenly opened by God, it is because of your great change in temperament that we have a good life, these are all thanks to you, but the better the life, the more guilty everyone is about you, many villagers are hating themselves, why haven't you taken a little more care of you over the years, and stood up to defend you when you were bullied, you have suffered a lot since you were a child, and in the end, we adults still have to touch your light, It's really embarrassing. ”
