Chapter 200: The Bad Roots of Men
Su Jiu'er hurriedly lowered her eyes and pretended not to hear anything.
About her parents, how can she ask casually, her son doesn't say anything about her parents.
Zhao Shi realized what he said, and hurriedly silenced, waving his hand towards Su Jiu'er, "I just said to listen to you, you kid is too real, as long as you recognize something, even if your head is broken and bleeding, you will go on, my mother just wants to make it clear to you, women should think about themselves, don't blindly rely on men." ”
Su Jiu'er looked at Zhao with a helpless gaze.
"Don't take my words as a deaf ear, even if you don't want to think about yourself, you have to think about Yangyang," Zhao knew that men were inferior and difficult to get rid of, she didn't want to be in case Gu Feng had another woman, Su Jiu'er was sad and painful and collapsed because she couldn't accept the facts, "Let these pigs go here, I'll help you feed them for a while, and when you kill the pigs a few years ago, you can come over again!" ”
Su Jiu'er is good anywhere, but it's not good at all, but she is too stubborn, and the things she recognizes, even if she is planted and bleeding, she must continue to the end.
Zhao sent Su Jiu'er away, leaned against the door, looked at Su Jiu'er's departing back, and sighed helplessly.
It would be nice if Gu Feng was as good as before, if he really became bad, Zhao couldn't imagine what Su Jiu'er would become.
Even if Su Jiu'er is not her own daughter, but Su Jiu'er was brought up by her own hands, she knows very well that every time Su Jiu'er looks at Gu Feng's adoring and adoring eyes, it is precisely because she knows too well that she is worried that Su Jiu'er will do something stupid.
With a heavy sigh of relief, Zhao closed her eyes weakly, she originally helped take care of An Zeqing, but she had the heart to let An Zeqing marry Su Jiu'er.
But no one thought that An Zeqing would become like that, this person, he really knows people and faces, Zhao took the gate with his hand, thinking that he hadn't fed the chickens yet, and was busy preparing feed.
At dinnertime, Su Jiu'er saw that the food on the table was ready, but Gu Feng hadn't come back yet.
"Mama, let's eat first." Su Jiu'er took out two pairs of chopsticks from the basket, handed one pair to Mama Zhu, and kept the other pair for her own use.
Mama Zhu saw that Su Jiu'er was listless, and told Su Jiu'er with a smile about the recent troubles at the neighbor's house next door, but she couldn't make Su Jiu'er happy.
After eating, Su Jiu'er looked at the account book absentmindedly, and when Gu Feng was not there, time seemed to have passed for a long time.
The ledger couldn't be read, Su Jiu'er was afraid that she would miscalculate the account, so she put the ledger away, took out the sewing basket and continued to make new clothes for the two children.
"Mama, don't take the soles of your shoes anymore." There were many pairs of new shoes in the sewing basket next to Mama Zhu, and Su Jiu'er said with a smile, "You should also make some New Year's clothes for yourself!" ”
"I'm an old woman, I don't need to wear any new clothes." Mama Zhu had a loving smile on her face, "I haven't worn the cotton clothes for the New Year last year, so I want to wear them again for the New Year." ”
"Xianggong will be an official next year, and our family will have a lively New Year this year." Su Jiu'er thought about Gu Feng's handsome appearance in official clothes, her heart was beating extremely fast, and the tips of her ears were red, "I remember that there is still a navy blue cotton cloth in the warehouse, and you can use that cloth to make a new cotton coat when you turn around!" ”
"Thank you, ma'am."
"Mama Zhu, you say, I gave things to the people in the village, is it right?" Although Su Jiu'er was the master in her last life, Zhao Xiu'er took care of all the big and small things in the house, and she was just a person who didn't do anything when she ate idle meals.
"Ma'am, I think you're doing the right thing." Mama Zhu stopped what she was doing and seriously helped Su Jiu'er analyze, "Everyone wants to have a happy New Year, there is meat to eat on the table, they are happier in their hearts, and they are naturally more willing to obey the orders of the court in the future." ”
"But I think back to the past, when we sold grain cheaply, there were people in the village who came to make trouble." When Su Jiu'er thought of this, she felt uncomfortable, and she always felt that those people in the village were white-eyed wolves.
"In fact, it is normal for some people to be jealous, people always have jealousy, they dare to come to the door, because our family was just an ordinary family at that time, and now that the master is an official, they must now please the lord one by one, no matter what happens, they don't dare to be suspicious of it, not to mention, this time the lord is because of the meritorious service of killing the Huns, and people with strong eyes will definitely not be unhappy with the master." Mama Zhu saw Su Jiu'er thinking seriously, so she continued to speak, "You said, last time they didn't say that there was a problem with our family's food, it was because some people suspected that our family was colluding with the Xiongnu, and for the people in our village, as long as they had anything to do with the Xiongnu, they would naturally be disgusted." But now, no one dares to suspect that you have a connection with the Huns. ”
"That's what you say." Su Jiu'er opened her mouth thoughtfully and pursed her lower lip, "Those people who made trouble last time were openly and secretly saying that we have a good relationship with the Huns!" ”
"yes." Mama Zhu has always spoken decently, and she has a good relationship with the people in the village, she follows Su Jiu'er, although she does a lot of work every day, but she has never been scolded by Su Jiu'er.
As a slave, who doesn't want to have a good master, with a good master, this life is also comfortable.
"I see." Su Jiu'er has always been worried that the people in the village are envious and jealous because their family is rich, according to Mama Zhu's thoughts, the villagers may indeed be worried that they have a connection with the Xiongnu, after all, their family has no shortage of food.
Thinking about this matter from someone else's point of view, Su Jiu'er felt that she might have followed that group of people to make trouble at that time.
"I go to the river to wash clothes on weekdays, and many women ask me about Madame's temperament, I think they want to have more contact with Madame, but they are embarrassed to talk to you." Mama Zhu saw Su Jiu'er's stunned appearance and smiled, "Madam, you can also go out and talk to them,"
Hearing what Mama Zhu said, Su Jiu'er shook her head and smiled faintly.
On weekdays, she does embroidery when she has time, where does she have so much time to go out and chat with them?
In fact, the most important thing is that she doesn't know what to talk to about those people, for fear of arousing their disgust.
"We'll talk about that later." Su Jiu'er said casually.
The night is getting deeper, and the two children have been coaxed to sleep by Mama Zhu, who is sitting on the side embroidering with Su Jiu'er.
"Mama, you go and rest first, I'll wait for him alone." Su Jiu'er pondered that Gu Feng was coming back soon, after all, Gu Feng said that he would come back.
When Mama Zhu thought that she would have to get up early tomorrow, she didn't shirk it, simply cleaned up, and went to rest.
The kerosene lamp burned quietly, and the fire in the stove was burning brightly, which made Su Jiu'er feel a little sleepy, put the things in his hand into the sewing basket, and prepared to lie on the table for a while.
I don't know how long it took, Su Jiu'er was half-asleep, and she seemed to hear someone knocking on the door in a daze.
With his arm twitching, Su Jiu'er suddenly sobered up, hurriedly sat up straight, and the knock on the door became louder and louder.
Reaching out and grabbing the cloak on the side, Su Jiu'er wrapped herself tightly.
As soon as he walked out of the kitchen door, a gust of cold wind hit, Su Jiu'er shivered, and immediately came to his senses, and asked at the courtyard gate vigilantly, "Who?" ”
"Wine!"
As soon as she heard Gu Feng's voice, Su Jiu'er walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard and opened the door.
"Xianggong, have you eaten?" Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng's face pale from the cold, and felt a little distressed.
"Not yet." Gu Feng led the horse in and tied the horse to the pillar on the side, "What else is there to eat at home?" ”
"The noodles I ate at night, and there are some." Su Jiu'er closed the door, saw that Gu Feng had already tied up the horse, and the two of them walked towards the kitchen together.
The kitchen is warm inside, and it's two days from the outside.
Warm water was warm in an iron pot on the stove, and Su Jiu'er prepared Gu Feng's hands for washing, and then used another iron pot to give Gu Feng noodles.
"Is something wrong?" Su Jiu'er was afraid that Gu Feng would have to fight with the Huns, and even more afraid that Gu Feng would be injured, so she stirred the noodles in the pot with chopsticks and asked worriedly.
"Thirty acres of the prime fields we bought are paddy fields." Gu Feng walked to the stove to warm up, and looked at Su Jiu'er with a smile in his eyebrows, "Last year, those paddy fields were planted with rice, but the yield of rice was not much. ”
"Isn't that normal?" Su Jiu'er added some salt to the pot and looked at Gu Feng on the side with a smile, "Our land is not suitable for growing rice, rice is expensive, and there is no shortage of water, it would be good if there was no drought here, and if it was summer, it would be common for the water in the paddy fields to run out." ”
"There is a river not far from our paddy field, and I heard that there is more water in the river on weekdays, which floods our fields, but in the summer, there is less water, and the water in the paddy fields is out of water because of this." Gu Feng felt that his body was warm, so he stood up straight, hugged Su Jiu'er's body from behind, his eyes were as gentle as water, and even his voice softened a little, "I want to make the ridges around our paddy fields a little higher." ”
Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng suspiciously, still not quite understanding what Gu Feng meant, "Is it that the water in the river can't enter the paddy field?" ”
Without waiting for Gu Feng to speak, Su Jiu'er seemed to think of something, and asked happily, "I know, Xianggong, are you planning to directly drain the water in the paddy field and treat it as an ordinary field?" ”
Gu Feng smiled dotingly at Su Jiu'er, kissed Su Jiu'er's earlobe, and shook his head, "No, it's still used as a paddy field." ”
"Huh?" Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng suspiciously, not understanding what Gu Feng meant by doing that, "But the water in the paddy fields is gone in summer!" ”
"I plan to dig a big reservoir next to the paddy field, and when the summer comes, I can flow the water from the reservoir into the paddy field," Gu Feng looked at Su Jiu'er with a smile and asked with a smile, "Do you think this is good?" ”
"Do you want to get a few more iron gates?" Su Jiu'er reacted instantly after Gu Feng's reminder, "When there is more water in the reservoir and the river, the iron gate is open, allowing the water to flow into the reservoir?" ”
Seeing Gu Feng nodding, Su Jiu'er smiled shyly and continued to speak, "When there is not much water in the river, close the iron gate of the ridge, and the water in the paddy field will not flow back into the river." If there is not much water in the river, can we still use water from the reservoir? ”
Su Jiu'er turned her head to look at Gu Feng, if she followed Gu Feng's idea, then they wouldn't have to worry about running out of water in the paddy field in the future.
Su Jiu'er was about to be happy for Gu Feng, her brows furrowed, she didn't know how to tell Gu Feng.
The method Gu Feng said was good, but the reservoir was relatively deep, how could the water in it flow into the paddy fields higher than it, after all, the water flowed to a lower place.
Su Jiu'er was afraid that if she said it, it would discourage Gu Feng's enthusiasm.
