Chapter 9 Thanksgiving
Zheng Jialu was originally a native of Zhengjiagou, a few years ago encountered a big flash flood, the whole village was buried by rocks, only survived three or two families, because he worked outside all the year round, and Gu Shitong who also went to the village to visit the household, the two had a similar temper, as a confidant, Gu Shitong helped him make peace, and then moved to Gujiaao to live.
He has no land, he only lives by helping farmers in ten miles and eight towns to organize red and white ceremonies, others are active, good at playing erhu, can play the pipa, and can play suona, and can eat very well outside. He was well-informed, and he could make up stories, and when he was not working, the villagers liked to hear him tell him about the strange things outside.
"Hehe, I haven't been out for more than a month, nothing new, just tell these boys about your father." Zheng Jialu is of medium stature and looks mentally capable, seeing Gu Qingzhu ask like this, he was a little embarrassed, touched his head and smiled.
"What did my dad say, over and over, it's nothing more than those two things." The corners of Gu Qingzhu's mouth raised slightly.
Gu Shi has been a doctor for many years, and he has done many good things, but the most remembered and still talked about to this day are only two, one is that he saved an old man who fainted on the side of the road with two white-flour steamed buns, and in return, this old man not only passed on his lifelong medical skills to him, but also married his only beautiful daughter to him.
This foolish man has a good thing of foolish fortune, the whole Cuiping Town knows that it attracted the envy of many people back then, and the other thing is what Gu Shitong said himself, according to him, he used an embroidery needle and sheep intestines to sew the broken arm of a young man who rolled down from Lao Ya Ridge.
At that time, this thing was also spread to the gods, and the skin and flesh were not clothes, and they could still be sewn with needles and threads if they were torn? Besides, what kind of place is Lao Yaling, how can there be any reason to survive?
It's too bizarre to say, and I didn't see anyone come to thank you with a gift afterwards, and for this reason, most people don't believe it, just think that he is boasting about his medical skills.
Only Zheng Jialu believed Gu Shitong's words like the first thing, and whenever he was free, he told others about Gu Shitong's sewing arms to save people, and he heard a lot of people, as if it had come true.
The two talked a few words, Zheng Jialu listened to his daughter Zhaodi talk about the morning at lunch, and naturally asked with concern, Gu Qingzhu didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he didn't say anything, stood for a while, said goodbye to him, and went to the tea garden.
Gu Qingzhu sprinkled the spring cow soil in the bamboo mulberry garden, and left half of it and sprinkled it in the tea ridges of the two acres of terraced fields, the bamboo forest was still lush, and the mulberry trees were still bare, she looked at the tea pile carefully, this winter the snow was cold, the old leaves were listless, and the new leaves showed no signs of budding, she was worried that she would not be able to catch up with the festival and miss the tea market, so she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Qingzhu ......" Far away, Gu Daya stood at the bottom of the slope and waved her hand.
Gu Qingzhu suppressed the worry in his heart, picked up the basket, walked up to her and asked, "You are also here to scatter soil?" Are those three lambs okay? ”
"Well, the sheep are fine, they can stand up and feed, I just went to the field to cut vegetables, and I will give you a few plants." Gu Daya couldn't help but say, stuffed the five or six greens in the basket into Gu Daya's basket.
"I have it in my own field, and there are many people in your family!" Gu Qingzhu resigned again and again.
"It's okay, I still have a lot, enough, and don't blame my mother, she just doesn't want to cause trouble." The eldest girl was a little annoyed that she couldn't help Gu Qingzhu in the morning.
"How can it be, Uncle Fu has already helped me a lot, otherwise, my grandma would still be messing with me now." Gu Qingzhu smiled absently.
"I heard that your second aunt went home and scolded your grandma for a noon, every sentence was not the same, and then she didn't even give her food, and a person of such an age only gnawed two cold turnips, and he was not afraid of heartburn!" Gu Daya showed a look of disdain, and shook her head like an adult.
"I can't control this ......, and she doesn't care about me." Gu Qingzhu whispered lightly.
Her grandmother is clearly a bully who is afraid of the hard, thinking about how filial her father and mother were back then, but she was often picked by her eggs and made things difficult everywhere, but it was the Zhu family who first wooed her, and then beat and scolded her at every turn, and she cleaned up her obediently, Gu Qingzhu didn't want to wade into this troubled water, it was not good, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would join forces for a while, and it was possible to scold her for being nosy.
"As the old saying goes, there is really nothing wrong with it, the wicked have their own wicked grinding!" Gu Daya rolled her eyes, stuck out her tongue, and said with relief.
The two went home together and broke up on the side of the road, Gu Qingzhu just turned the corner, and saw Gu Shifu sitting on the small pestle in her yard, as if waiting for her, she hurriedly walked a few steps and pushed open the courtyard door.
"Uncle Fu, do you have something?" At the beginning of spring, every family began to be busy with the work in the fields, and it was rare for a strong laborer to have a free time.
"You came to the house to help before, but you left in a hurry, I had a few words to say to you." When Gu Shifu said this, he paused, licked his dry lips, and said, "It stands to reason that the New Year is coming to an end, and Qingsong should go to school in the town, but ...... But I'm short of money at this moment, and Qingshan's medicine can't be broken, so I ...... for a while For a while, I'm afraid that I won't be able to ......, in short...... I'm sorry for you. ”
A penny stumped the hero, Gu Shifu struggled inwardly, his face was slightly red, he opened his mouth and stumbled, and he almost couldn't speak a few times.
Gu Qingzhu saw the embarrassment of the seven-foot man in front of him, so he was relieved: "I'm not in a hurry, seeing that the spring tea is about to be served, when I make tea cakes and send them to the Sansheng Tea Shop in the county seat, I can always make money, besides, Mr. Liu likes green pine, I will talk to him, and it will be done in a few days." ”
"That's fine, that's fine." Gu Shifu's face softened, and he looked obviously relieved, he bent down and handed a small piece of bacon wrapped in oiled paper at his feet to Gu Qingzhu.
This was originally prepared for Qingsong's marriage, his injury, delayed a lot of things, seeing that spring is coming, the weather is warming, and the bacon will not be left for next year.
"The big girl has already given me green vegetables, I don't want this anymore." Gu Qingzhu refused.
The fat of the bacon has been soaked out, and you can smell a fresh and rich smell through the paper.
"Take it, it's a gift from my uncle." Gu Shifu was already guilty in his heart, if Gu Qingzhu didn't accept it at this time, he would be even more embarrassed.
"Okay, that's what I wanted." Although Gu Qingzhu is not a serious doctor, he finally helped a little, and no matter how much the master's gratitude is, it is not easy to refuse.
"The sheepfold at home is going to be higher again, so I'll go first." Gu Shifu nodded, raised his feet and left.
Gu Qingzhu put the greens and bacon in the kitchen, took the chopsticks and turned over the kudzu powder in the plaque, and when he turned around, he saw Gu Qingsong carrying a barefoot Gu Qingying, and the two pushed the door in with mud on their backs.
"I've only been around for a while, what's going on?!" Gu Qingzhu greeted him in surprise, only to see Qingying's head dripping with muddy water, and her soaked shoes on her hands.
