Time flies, like a white horse passing through a gap, this is the winter of the 60th year of Dayan.

Gu Chengyu sat on the ox cart driven by Gu Chengli, and staggered all the way back to Shangling Village.

Today is the third day of the lunar month, and it is the last day of school this year. Although there are still some days before the Chinese New Year, as the saying goes: Laba is the New Year. In addition, it is located in the north, and the snow falls early, so it is difficult to walk on the road if you want to go to school.

The hooves of the cows "clicked" on the snow that had been trampled solidly, making a "creaking" and "creaking" sound. Gu Chengyu lifted the curtain and saw a snow-covered mountain forest and wilderness, and if he walked a little further, he could see the village of Shangling Village.

Breathing in the cold air of the mountains and forests, it is so cold that people's brains hurt.

"Big brother! Are you cold or not? If it's cold, come in and rest for a while, it's really cold! Gu Chengyu opened the curtain in front of him and talked to Gu Chengli, who was driving the car.

"Haha! How can this be considered cold? You little babies just can't help freezing. The fur gloves and clothes and knee pads you bought for me last time are warm and not cold at all. Gu Chengli turned back to Gu Chengyu and smiled.

The fur garment, knee pads, and gloves he took out of the space, but the style was changed. After all, Daddy Gu is old, and the winter pick-up and drop-off is a little unbearable, so he changed it to Gu Chengli.

Gu Chengyu remembered the skin he saw in the town two days ago, with his current internal strength and martial arts moves, he should be able to go to the inner perimeter of the mountain. He decided to stay at home for some time, so he took his third brother to hunt with him.

Yes, it's his third brother, as early as two years ago, Gu Chengyu took out the martial arts mental method, who knew that no one in the Gu family had such a talent, either he was old, or he couldn't do it, so Gu Chengyu could only put away the internal mental method and let them learn a few tricks of foreign kung fu.

That's it, only the third brother is interested, and he works extra hard, and the other boys just want to go to school, because it is impossible to make achievements in martial arts, so they don't want to spend time on this.

And the third brother doesn't like to read, of course, one is that he is not young, it is impossible to sit with a group of children to study, and the other is that he is only interested in martial arts, so he did not enter a private school, and only took care of the family's son-in-law came back to teach him to read and write.

Gu Chengli drove the ox cart fast and steadily, and after a while, he crossed the mountains and forests, and the village in front of him was already faintly visible.

In winter, it gets dark early, and by the time the ox cart enters the village, a silver-gray twilight haze has enveloped the entire village. The ox cart went a little inside, and it arrived at the gate of the Gu family's courtyard.

The Gu family is now the only blue brick and tile house in the village except for the Zhao landlord's house. Although the two-entry courtyard is not as good as the two-entry courtyard in the town and the county seat, it is not small.

Gray-black tiles cover the roof, and the walls paved with blue bricks look out of place with the earthen house next to it. The courtyard wall is made of large stones, which are two meters high, and when you look through the open courtyard gate, you can see the flat stone path.

Originally, Gu Chengyu wanted to use blue bricks to make the courtyard wall, but Daddy Gu didn't agree. The yard is big, if all the bricks are made of green bricks, how many bricks do you have to use? That's all silver! Later, Gu Chengyu had to compromise, and now when he looks at the courtyard wall made of big stones, he doesn't even think it's ugly, but it's not very good-looking, and after two years, he still asked his father to pick it up and build it with green bricks.

The current layout of the Gu family says that Daddy Gu and they live in the second main house, with a total of two main rooms and one on each side of the ear room. Gu Wan lived in the east room, and the other room was given to Gu Chengyu to live in, and the south side was the stove room.

The big room and the second room still live in the east and west wings, and his third brother has already married last year, because at the beginning, considering that the Gu family has many brothers, so the east and west wings have each built a wing room, and the east and west wings each have two larger rooms, so that after the third brother and the fourth brother get married, they can each have a room. A firewood house and livestock shed were added to the west.

There is no space on both sides of the Gu family, but the back can be extended, so it is lengthened a lot. It's just that in this way, the first entrance is smaller, except for a study, there is only one room left for hospitality, a guest room.

This pattern is a little smaller, but fortunately, there is still a lot of open space behind their house, and the grandchildren will become relatives in the future, and it can be extended a little later.

When the ox cart passed by the study, Gu Chengyu first took down the bookbag on the cart and the food he bought for the family. After Gu Chengli waited for Gu Chengyu to come down, he drove the ox cart to the livestock shed in the inner courtyard.

The eldest lang of the Gu family and they are all studying in Xiasang Village, and the private school in Xiasang Village is held by an old Xiucai, although Qian Fuzi is not as famous as Wen Fuzi, but he can be admitted to Xiucai, after all, he still has some knowledge.

At the beginning, under his persuasion, Gu's father did agree to Gu Jiaerlang's study. However, he put forward a condition, that is, he would only study for three years, and if he felt that he had learned something, he would try it; If you feel that you can't pass the exam, then learn a trade, or find some work in the town.

In fact, three years is a bit short, and there are many people with outstanding knowledge who have not been admitted to Xiucai within three years.

Gu Chengyu felt a little unfair, but Gu's father had made up his mind, saying that it was impossible for the family to provide for so many people to study all the time, and it was expensive to study, and it was difficult to provide one, let alone so many babies.

Later, Daddy Gu told him privately that he would say this to encourage everyone to study hard, how well they learn, and when the time comes, they will have their own conclusions, and if they learn well, of course they can continue to read, and if they don't learn well, it will naturally be impossible to continue to provide for them.

In more than two years, Gu Chengyu's height has risen a lot, and the Gu family's life is much better now, and the food is also good, not only him, but also Da Lang and they have really grown some meat.

Putting the plum blossom cake and pine nut candy brought back from the town in the study, Gu Chengyu went straight to the backyard.

The Lu clan had already taken the Fang clan and put all the meals on the table, just waiting for Gu Chengyu to serve on the table, Xia Sang Village had announced its vacation as early as five days ago, so Gu Chengyu was the last to arrive.

"Little treasure! Come on in, it's cold, right? Your master is really, other private schools have long been released, why are you still reading to this day? Isn't it dangerous to wake up so early and have such a thick layer of snow on the road? Gu Chengyu of the Lu family entered the main room and hurriedly pulled Gu Chengyu to sit on the hot kang.

"Mother! I'm not cold, I'm wearing a lot! Today is the last day of study this year, so tomorrow you don't have to go to a private school, just review your homework at home. Gu Chengyu smiled at Lu Shi and said.

I saw that Lu Shi was wearing a lake-blue muslin collared narrow-sleeved jacket and a royal blue pleated skirt, and the lake blue lined her complexion with a fair and delicate complexion. Looking at it again, there are two silver hairpins stuck in his head.

"Huh? Mother! What a good day is it today? ”
