Chapter 8 Fields

Major General Gu said that he had never been so poor in his thirty-five years of life experience, and he really didn't have a copper plate, and even the clothes he wore were given by others.

Cheng Weiwei, the white porridge he ate in the past few days when he was sick, didn't touch a bite, and he asked a few words casually, only to know that the white rice for boiling porridge was borrowed from Wei Xiaopa's father next door. However, since he was sick, he and Cheng Wei lay on the same bed because of the blessing of misfortune, and that night he knew that Cheng Wei had hidden two lumps of silver under the bed board.

Naturally, he wouldn't tell Cheng Wei that it was not safe to hide the money there, and those two pieces of silver were probably the last belongings of this family, and they would not be used unless they had to.

As a man who has been eating soft rice for a few days, Gu Xixuan feels that he should find a way to make money.

"It's not particularly lacking ......" Cheng Wei was stunned by his question, and replied to him sneeringly. Twenty taels of silver were hidden under his bed, which was his allowance for leaving the army. In fact, there were a total of fifty taels at the beginning, and there are only so many scattered flowers left now, and the amount of silver is not a last resort, and he is not ready to use it.

"When does the summer harvest start? If I'm not in a hurry, I'm going to go to town tomorrow to find a day job. Gu Xicheng put down the bowl and said.

With his understanding of the world in the past few days, it is not very likely that he wants to get rich overnight with a net worth of being poor and white. Besides, he was not interested in being the king in this other world, and it was better to study the cultivation techniques of crops when he had the time.

"You're not well stabilized, let's talk about it in a few days." Cheng Wei looked at him and said with some hesitation. Since Gu Xicheng was sick, he had to divide the bed in half of Gu Xicheng, and when he looked at people jumping around during the day, he would always have a low-grade fever at two or three o'clock in the morning.

Cheng Wei didn't dare to tell Gu Xigong, because when he got up in the middle of the night to fetch water to cool him down, Gu Xicheng never woke up, which made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.

Fortunately, the next day, Li Zheng brought good news to the two of them.

"Brother Wei! Anybody home? When Li was calling him outside the door, the two were having breakfast.

"Yes, yes." Cheng Wei was still carrying chopsticks in his hand, and hurriedly answered and walked out.

"Got breakfast?" Li Zheng didn't enter the door, but talked to him outside the door.

"Yes, I just ate it, if I don't dislike it, come in and eat some together?" Cheng Wei let people in the door.

"No, I'll come and tell you about the fields. This is your title deed, and the two of you have a total of two acres of paddy fields and one acre of dry land. The official said, the things in the field are not collected, what do you like to do. ”

"Why are there so many?!" Cheng Wei happily took the title deed and looked at it repeatedly, it was really two acres of paddy field, plus one acre of dry land.

Li Zheng glanced at Gu Xixuan, who came out, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Gu Xiaozi's blessing, he was originally from Xiaqian Village, and he already has two acres of land under his name. In the first half of the year, the dragon in Xia Qian Village turned over and disappeared for a few months, and now I know that he has come to the south, and the land in the north will be written off, and the land will be reassigned to him in our village. You were originally landless, and the two of you made a contract, and the official family saw that you were a veteran, and gave you an acre of dry land. ”

Cheng Wei's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, Gu Xixuan came from the north and it was completely his nonsense lie, and now he really responded to what he said, and he couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart.

"Thank you Lizheng, if you don't dislike it, come in and have breakfast and come back." Gu Xicheng put his hand on Cheng Wei's shoulder and took over the conversation.

"My old man won't go in, and it's the same when he drinks the wedding wine another day." After Li Zheng finished laughing, he walked away with his cigarette stick.

"Gu Xixuan, we have land!" Cheng Wei pinched the two land deeds, so happy that he didn't know what to say. Fortunately, in the past few years, there has not been a single big official in the ten miles and eight townships, and half of the existing fields in their village are owned by officials, so it is so easy to draw them down.

Gu Xixuan hugged people into the house before saying, "Hurry up and eat, let's take a look later." ”

"Hmm!"

The two of them hastily finished breakfast and went to see the land mentioned in the title deed. Two acres of paddy fields are planted with rice, and the ears of rice are full and low, and they can be harvested in half a month! There are only a few melons and vegetables planted on that acre of dry land, and several of them are out of season.

Cheng Wei went home and carried a hoe, cleared out the out-of-season loofah seedlings, and by the way, set up a rod for the crooked eggplant melon, and lowered the branches.

"That can't be pulled! That's bitter gourd, and it can stay for a while. ”

"Well, you see this leaf is different from the loofah seedling just now...... The one over there is a potato, and the edible part grows in the ground......"

Gu Xixuan followed Cheng Wei's example to take care of the fields, and at the same time followed him to know the existing fruits and vegetables, and only after cleaning up a small half, the sun had already risen very high.

Gu Xixuan looked at Cheng Wei's sweaty appearance, and dragged people home. There is a shortage of doctors and medicines in this world, and if Cheng Wei falls ill, he will not cultivate even if there is land in front of him.

"We'll come back later, you see everyone else is home." Gu Xixuan dragged the person who refused to go home and said solemnly.

Cheng Wei originally refused, and looked up to see that it was noon. When he came out, he was in a hurry, and he didn't remember to bring a straw hat for the two of them, and now that both of them were sweating profusely, he straightened up and felt that his chest was stuffy and hurt again.

"It's me who is in a hurry." Cheng Wei finally compromised, he went to the field to pick a few cucumbers, picked up the hoe and went home with Gu Xixuan.

The sun was very strong at noon, and Cheng Wei made Gu Xicheng's clothes before the sun set. Two sets of short dozens, it couldn't be more convenient to wear to work. Although the fabric is the worst kind, it pierces your hands when you touch it, but it is just right to wear it for work.

Wait until winter, and then buy a piece of cloth to make a new one for him, Cheng Wei stared at the two new sets of clothes and thought.

Cheng Wei picked the cucumber and chose a tender one to make it sour with vinegar, he ate it with relish, and when he saw that Gu Xixuan had only chewed two pieces, he covered his mouth and frowned.

"What? Too sour? Cheng Wei ate another piece, although there was no sugar at home and it tasted a little astringent, but he didn't put too much vinegar.

"It's not." Gu Xicheng shook his head, the degradation of his sense of taste made him not sensitive to taste, but just now he felt that his teeth seemed to be a little soft suddenly?

In the afternoon, when the sun was not so strong, Cheng Wei put a straw hat on his head, brought a bamboo tube of water, and went to the ground.

One acre of dry land, except for a small half of the seasonal vegetables, the other half is planted with sweet potatoes, and the rest is potatoes. Cheng Wei stared at the lush sweet potato seedlings, and then looked at the large handful of loofah seedlings that had been cleaned up, and he suddenly felt that it was time to raise some poultry or livestock.

"Gu Xixuan, let's take this back." Cheng Wei pointed to the discarded melon seedlings and weeds piled on the side, he was carrying a bundle of fresh sweet potato vines in his hand, and he was holding a large handful of loofah seedlings in his arms.

Gu Xixuan glanced at him and asked him to put down the one in his arms first. He connected two sturdy loofah seedlings end to end, and bundled a large handful of seedlings together with weeds and carried them on his back.

"Alright."

Cheng Wei looked at him and pursed his lips, only carrying the small handful of sweet potato vines in his hand, and swayed home in the twilight quadrangle.

In the middle of the night, Cheng Wei woke up in a daze due to the heat, he subconsciously touched Gu Xicheng's forehead beside him, and he had a fever again.

He rubbed his eyes, got out of bed, lit the lamp, brought the basin of water prepared on the side, yawned and put the soaked handkerchief on Gu Xixuan's forehead.

Just as he habitually twisted another handkerchief and was about to wipe the sweat from his neck, the man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed his wrist.
