At dusk, smoke rose from the chimneys of every house in Liuli Village.

Gu Shi took a bowl of freshly roasted sweet potatoes and took Gu Junlan to Liu Erniu's house.

When I walked to the door, I happened to see Liu Erniu driving the ox cart back.

"Second Uncle Liu." Gu Junlan said hello with a light smile.

"Hey! Haizhu girl, you quickly take Junlan girl into the house to sit, and I'll drive the cow back to the shed. ”

Liu Erniu raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat, and led the cow rope to the side.

When I entered the house, I found that Liu Zhang was busy cooking, and there was a child a few years younger than Jun Lan squatting on the ground and playing with crickets.

This kid Gu Junlan has seen it, it was the last time he was at his own house and was called by Liu Shishan to run errands, his name is He Wang.

"Sister-in-law Huiyun."

Liu Zhang heard the voice and raised his head from the stove.

"Haizhu girl, you're here, sit down!"

After speaking, Liu Zhang got up and hurriedly got a stool for the two.

"No, no, I'll leave in a while." Gu Shi put the bowl of roasted sweet potato in his hand on the stove, and then beckoned to Liu Hewang.

"Hewang, come on, the freshly roasted sweet potato is sweet."

Liu Hewang was about the age of the general horn, and he had two buns on his head.

Hearing Gu Shi call himself, he ran over, looked at the steaming sweet potato in the bowl and swallowed his saliva.

"Come, take it."

Gu picked one and stuffed it into his hand.

"Look at this kid, it's gluttony." Seeing that his son was holding sweet potatoes and eating happily, Liu Zhang also smiled.

"The child is growing up, so it doesn't matter if you eat more."

In fact, the annual harvest in Liuli Village is not bad, and after the tax, the remaining seven, seven, eight or eight are used, which is just enough for the family to make ends meet, and the children's snacks are not a little more.

At this time, Liu Erniu, who had turned off the cow, walked in, scooped out a scoop of water in the tank and washed his face.

"Sister Haizhu, let's have dinner at my house with Junlan tonight, your sister-in-law just happened to make a cake."

Hearing the word cake, Gu Junlan felt pantothenic acid in her stomach.

Because of his words that day, in the past two days, Gu's three meals a day have been made of pancakes.

In fact, bread is already a very good food for the people of Liuli Village.

Once you bake the bread, you can make three days of porridge!

"Second Uncle Liu, my mother and I are here to borrow a cow from you."

Gu Junlan was embarrassed to speak when she saw that the Gu clan was hesitant, so she could only say it herself.

"Okay, there won't be a market tomorrow, so you can come early."

Without thinking about it, Liu Erniu responded in one bite.

Two cows, in addition to plowing the land, when there is a market in the town, Liu Erniu usually drives the ox cart to take the villagers to the town, and he also earns some hard money.

"Thank you, Second Brother Liu."

Subsequently, Gu declined Liu Erniu and Liu Zhang's proposal to keep them for dinner, and went back with Gu Junlan.

——

Early the next morning, when Gu went to Morning Glory, Liu Erniu was already waiting at the door.

After saying hello, he led the oxen out of the hut behind the house.

"Your sister-in-law asked me to go with you and help you turn over the ground."

"No, no, I can do it myself."

borrowed a cow and had to help, Gu felt that it was too troublesome.

At this time, Liu Zhang's also walked out of the house: "Sister Haizhu, you just let him go, the man has a lot of strength, how can he use any kung fu to turn over a piece of land!" ”

When it came to this, Gu had no choice but to agree with emotion.

When they arrived at Gu's land, Gu Junlan had already walked back and forth in the field several times.

I thought in my heart that this dry land would be converted into paddy fields, and in addition to turning over the land, I had to build a dam next to it to make ridges.
