Chapter 25 Diversion of the Pond
They are all peasant households, and how to plow the land can be known at a glance.
When Liu Erniu saw the dry land of the Gu family, he was a little confused.
"Sister Haizhu, haven't you turned over the land?"
Gu is diligent, even if there is only this dry land, she takes care of it cleanly and without any weeds.
In fact, Gu didn't know what Gu Junlan was going to do, so he could only say to Liu Erniu: "Junlan wants to plant rice, saying that this land is not deep enough, and it has to be turned over again." ”
"Rice?!"
At this time, Liu Erniu not only raised her voice, but even opened her eyes, she turned her head to look at Gu Junlan who was standing on the edge of the ground and asked, "Junlan girl, rice can't be grown in this land, don't fool around!" ”
How is it possible to grow rice in a dry land where there is no water even for the next month's rains?
"Second Uncle Liu, don't worry, I'll tell you slowly."
So, Gu Junlan repeated what she had said to Gu Shi before.
"But..."
This little girl's words sound like that, but no one has ever tried it!
Seeing that Liu Erniu was frowning deeply, and the worry on his face did not seem to be fake, Gu Junlan secretly had a plan in his heart.
"Second Uncle Liu, now I'm just turning over the land, and when I can really change the land into paddy fields, you can look at it again, okay?"
Gu Junlan was born well, although she is young now and has not grown, her eyes are like autumn waves, and they are smart.
She smiled at Liu Erniu, which made him, who had always wanted to have another daughter with his daughter-in-law, feel soft, and nodded subconsciously.
There are cows, men have great strength, and they are much faster than women in the end, and within a few hours, before lunch, Liu Erniu ploughed the ground according to Gu Junlan's wishes.
"Brother Erniu, if you are alone, I won't ask you to go to the house for dinner." Gu Shi was still a little embarrassed when he said.
After all, people helped themselves, and they didn't even eat.
But Gu thought too much, and felt that his identity was not good, and he was afraid of causing gossip about Liu Erniu to go to his house for dinner.
"Sister Haizhu, don't be polite to me, you take Junlan home to rest, the noon sun is poisonous!"
As he spoke, Liu Erniu smiled at Gu Junlan honestly.
Thinking about it, this white little girl, don't get a tan.
Gu Junlan's temperament has always been that people are good to me, and I will repay it very much.
She didn't twist like Gu, so she opened her mouth directly and generously.
"Second Uncle Liu, Jun Lan will see you again if you say thank you, and in the autumn, I will invite you and Second Aunt Liu to dinner."
Calculate the time, and in a few months, the rice should be harvested.
Seeing Liu Erniu off, Gu also packed up his farm tools and prepared to go home.
"Mother, can you accompany me up the mountain?"
Gu Junlan wanted to go up the mountain again by the way, because she had promised Gu that she would not go alone, so she asked her.
"Okay." Gu nodded.
Thinking that it was inconvenient to take farm tools, Gu simply took a hoe, and the rest were hidden in the weeds at the edge of the field.
I made a mark when I went down the mountain yesterday, and this time I didn't have to go around the creek anymore, Gu Junlan took Gu Shi and went up the mountain directly from the place where he came down yesterday.
With a hoe to open the way and split the weeds and thorns, today's road is much easier than when Gu Junlan walked by himself.
Soon, she took Gu Shi to the deep pool halfway up the mountain.
"Mother, you see, when the time comes, when the paddy field is improved, we will lead this pool of water to the ground."
Gu Junlan's idea made Gu Shi unable to figure it out.
If the earth were by the river, it would be better to say, but how could it be led to the ground so far away?
