The master bricklayer drew the baseline of the ground with lime, the male laborers dug together, and the women helped prepare tea and meals.

At the right moment, the man who had left with the paperwork that day returned to Gujiaao as promised, and he brought a brand new household registration document.

Gu Qingzhu was helping on the construction site, and was quietly called back to her yard by Baoying, she looked at Mu Jincheng holding the paperwork that still smelled ink in her hand, her heart was pounding, and her palms were full of sweat.

"Look, I'll be the talker, your household registration paperwork is done!" Mu Jincheng saw that her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, so he joked.

Gu Qingzhu opened his ten fingers and wiped it on the skirt behind him, only then did he take it solemnly, and when he opened it, the three words Gu Shitong came into view, followed by the three names of Gu Qingzhu, Gu Qingsong, and Gu Qingying.

She stared at the four names several times, and tears suddenly burst into tears in her eyes, five years later, they finally have their own household registration documents, with this household registration, she will no longer let the second uncle manipulate their siblings, and she is more convinced that their father will come back one day!

The silent Mu Jincheng stood next to her and looked at her, this girl has a strong and smelly temper on weekdays, but at this time, her fingers trembled slightly, and the tip of her nose was red, I don't know if she was moved or sentimental, she seemed to be crying.

How difficult did she have to be to be like this? Mu Jincheng touched his nose.

After a long time, Gu Qingzhu sniffed, smiled reluctantly, and bent over: "Thank you Third Master and Su Gongzi for your help!" ”

Su Duchun waved his hand and said, "Miss Gu, don't be polite, you should be happy." ”

"Uh-huh." Gu Qingzhu pursed his lips and nodded.

"Twilight, we've been bothering here for two days, and it's time to go back in the afternoon." Mu Jincheng patted Su Wanchun's shoulder.

Su Duchun nodded again and again: "They are busy building a house, we can't help much, so don't add to the chaos." ”

At this time, it was just in time to cook rice, Gu Qingzhu couldn't leave, so he asked Qingying to take Su Duchun and Mu Jincheng and others to cut purple bamboo, everyone entered the bamboo garden, but accidentally found that the tassel hanging on the bamboo branch that day was gone, Su Duchun only thought that the wind was blowing it away at night, and he didn't take it to heart, fortunately, the bamboo was his eye at a glance, and it was not difficult to find it again.

Purple bamboo is Xiao, nine knots are precious, and the root is the best, therefore, Su Duchun commanded people to cut off the whole bamboo in the soil, and the middle part was broken into two pieces to facilitate transportation.

Today, the new house started, and the meals were particularly rich, Gu Qingzhu and the aunts in the village made a table full of meals, and Mu Jincheng and Su Duchun ate at the same table with Gu Qingshan and others.

The men who had done the morning's work were hungry, picked up the bowls, gobbled up, the wind was whirlpooled, and they were eating and drinking, but Mu Jincheng was about to leave, and he didn't know the taste of some food, so he only ate slightly, so he put down his chopsticks and watched Gu Qingzhu shuttle between the dining tables to deliver food, so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.

Yan Mo tied up the purple bamboo of his master's treasure and asked one person to carry it, while Bao Ying tied the mountain goods he received yesterday to the horse, and the two of them packed up those daily necessities, and then stood at the table and picked up a few dishes to eat.

In the afternoon, Gu Qingzhu and Gu Qingshan sent Mu Jincheng and others out of the mountain and climbed Laojun Mountain, Mu Jincheng stood and said: "Send you a thousand miles, there will be a farewell, let's go here." ”

Gu Qingshan hugged his fists and said: "There is nothing good in the mountains, eating and drinking is not as good as the county seat, but the mountains here are high and cloudy, occasionally come to taste the tea and turbid wine, and there is another taste, if the third master and Su Gongzi are free in the future, please come again!"

"Then it's decided, we will live in Liang Zhutou's new house next time." Su Duchun glanced at Mu Jincheng, saw that he had a gloomy face, and didn't say a word, so he had to say something.

"Let's go." Mu Jincheng led Rufeng to lift his feet and leave, and the midday sun stabbed his eyes.

Gu Qingzhu looked at his lonely figure and raised his voice: "When I make tea, I will give it to you to drink!" ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you at Ding's noodle restaurant!" Hearing this, Mu Jincheng paused slightly, but did not turn back.

And his head, which had been lowered before, seemed to be raised all of a sudden.

Su Duchun and Gu Qingzhu hurriedly said goodbye and chased after Jincheng.

Liang Mancang's new house has been busy for more than ten days, and Gu Qingzhu helps to do this and that every day, and he can't care about studying fried tea for a while.

On this day, five magnificent and spacious houses were covered with beams and tiles, and Liang Mancang suddenly rode back, bringing a lot of pastries, sweets and firecrackers, which was really a coincidence, and in the evening, arranged for the craftsmen to eat and drink, and everyone gathered around one place, eating and drinking lively.

"Mancang, I heard that you followed the county master to Yan'an City to deliver lanterns, and no one from our Gu Jiaao people has been to the capital for generations." Gu Shigen took a sip of wine and smiled with wrinkles on his face.

"Isn't Yan'an City very lively? Tell us about it. Fang Kui poured Liang Mancang full of wine and asked anxiously.

Liang Mancang scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "This...... I really don't know, the days I went to were in the lamp market, the county lord was busy all day, for fear of a little mistake, how could I have the heart to look at the scenery outside, even to Su Gongzi's grandfather's house, it was when there were few people watching the lanterns at noon, I haven't been anywhere else, but I have seen a lot of lantern watchers, and I see that the people there are dressed and dressed almost the same as those in Ningjiang City. ”

"Ningjiang City is the capital of Liudu, there are some in the capital, and there are also here, there are a lot of them!" Zheng Jialu nodded again and again.

Gu Qingzhu refilled the tea for everyone, remembered it and asked: "Some time ago, Su Gongzi came to Gujiaao, saying that he was going to Beijing with you to visit his grandfather, why did he come back first?" ”

"It's a long story, it coincided with the drought in the northwest at that time, and the emperor knew that Su County Ling had been a waiter in the Ministry of Works before and was in charge of water conservancy, so he asked him to go to the field to find out how to solve it, and write excerpts everywhere to report it, and the emperor allocated the silver taels for disaster relief.

Su Gongzi's grandfather was afraid that he was weak and couldn't stand the bumpy, so he sent someone to send him back first. Liang Mancang took a sip of tea.

"After all these hard days, you finally came back, you should stay at home for a few more days." Gu Qingshan asked with concern.

Liang Mancang nodded: "The county master is busy writing excerpts, and he won't go out for a while, Patrol Officer Cui specially gave me a few days off, and I came back, and I also brought back a piece of good news." ”

"What's the good news?" Fang Kui peeled a saltwater peanut and threw it into his mouth to chew.

"This good thing has to be thanked to the third master, I came back yesterday to go to the Ding family noodle restaurant, he happened to be there, said that the shopkeeper of Sansheng Luo took a fancy to our mountain goods, and wanted to open the purchase, and said that if there are good mushrooms such as hazel mushrooms and matsutake mushrooms, the price will be higher."

"Ahem, really?" Fang Kui was suddenly choked with surprise and asked.

Liang Mancang patted Xia Kui's shoulder vigorously and said with a smile: "When did I tell a lie!" ”

"No wonder you know what to bring with you, and the third master told you to build a house, I almost thought you could pinch it, the prophet." Gu Qingshan joked.

Liang Mancang nodded: "It's really what he told me, this time, I look at him and it seems to be different from before, but what is the difference, I can't say." ”

Gu Shigen touched his chin, interrupted their idle talk, and said seriously: "This year's tea season is not as good as the previous season, and the harvest has decreased a lot, but I am afraid that each family will have a difficult time, this news is too timely!" Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, some mushrooms in the mountains can still be picked up, and some subsidies can be used to supplement the family. ”

"The kids are going crazy again." Fang Kui said with a smile.

"Not only the children, aunts and sisters-in-law, I'm afraid they will also go into the mountains." Gu Qingshan took a sip of wine and said.

Liang Mancang was happy to see them patronizing, and couldn't help but remind: "The third master also said, let find someone to check in the village, so as not to distinguish between good and bad, and send them to Sansheng, Luo's shopkeeper is the most quality-conscious, if it is too bad to send it, not only can it not be sold at a high price, but it also ruins Gu Jiaao's reputation, and the good ones will not be sold in the future." ”

"If you say this, it has to be the village chief, who will listen to what others say." Gu Shigen curled his fingers and tapped on the table.

Gu Qingshan nodded with a smile: "This is good, my father has been lying in bed for almost three months, and he has been making noise all day long, if he finds something to do, his life will be better." ”

"Qingzhu, will you go up the mountain to pick up mushrooms?" Liang Mancang turned his head and asked.

"Qingying will definitely go up the mountain with Qingchuan and Tie Dan to pick up and play, I won't go, while the tea garden can still pick tea, I will try to make new tea a few times." Gu Qingzhu shook his head.

Gu Qingshan wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "Is there still no progress now?" It's too hard for you!"

Gu Qingzhu's eyebrows raised slightly, and he chuckled: "This is a matter of no shadow, no one around us will know, I just listened to what Master Ran said, I want to try it, anyway, the fresh leaves of autumn tea are not valuable, and I am not in a hurry, I am only a practicer, however, I have some eyebrows recently, but I have to try again." ”

"Qingzhu, your courage is not inferior to a man, the whole village was not optimistic about you making tea cakes, but you don't believe in evil, you just did it, and did your best, now there is no one who does not envy you for making more money, and now you want to create a new way of making tea, if it is done, it is not the first one in the entire Nancang County." Fang Kui said wistfully.

Gu Qingzhu sighed slightly: "The mountains and water in our village are beautiful and sweet, and the tea is better, but it is too remote, and the good things are not sold at a good price. ”

Liang Mancang sighed: "It's better to think long-term, but your shack is too simple to stop the summer rain and winter snow, let alone the wind in spring and autumn." ”

"I think it's not bad, wear the wind in summer, and you can see the moon in spring and autumn, how good!" Gu Qingzhu giggled.

Liang Mancang shook his head, but didn't say anything anymore, just looked at Gu Qingshan and Fang Kui, they glanced at each other, everything was silent.

The three of them are of the same age, and they can have fun on weekdays, and between brothers, they don't need too many words, a look, a movement, they can only understand but not speak.

"It's not early, it's all gone, Ming'er still has to be busy." Gu Shigen drank the last wine.

Gu Qingshan grabbed Liang Mancang: "You can sleep with me today." ”

"We haven't had a drink and talk together for many years, so let's take advantage of the good days of Shangliang to talk to the fullest." Fang Kui followed, hugging them left and right.
