Chapter 39: The Harvest

The snow left in the winter is getting less and less day by day, after several consecutive big suns, the north slope of Niutoupo reveals a gray and white mottled scene, at the end of winter and spring, the mountains and forests from afar are like a fur animal that is in the moulting period, it always looks like there are some new and unmatched eyes. Fortunately www.biquge.info the buds of the branches have already emerged against the waning north wind, and they will soon be dressed in colorful clothes for this bare mountain. Snow seeped down the hillside, the brook in front of the rabbit hill had its contents again, and the frozen and stiff ground gradually moistened and softened.

Two or three flocks of geese flew from south to north, the temperature warmed up day by day, the long-dormant Niutoupo dream woke up, and the spring of the mountains and forests chased the geese to the front.

Just a few days after the spring, a few inconspicuous black locust trees on the rabbit hill were hit by two magpies, and they flew east and west for a while, and they were busy building nests on the treetops. Gu Nanyan saw that a pair of new neighbors were about to move in, and she was naturally very happy in her heart, hoping that the black locust tree would bloom tomorrow.

After three months of wind and sun, the skins harvested in winter are now dry and smooth, and the smooth fur is arranged, looking at the solid leather boards, Liu Zixuan expects that they will be sold for a good price, and he can't wait to take them to the town.

After waiting for a few days and picking a sunny day, Liu Zixuan took a neatly packed basket of skins and went to the Guniu Town Market.

When I went to He's old shop again, I asked the price briefly, Liu Zixuan put down the basket and showed it to the boss, Boss He read it one by one, and sighed that he had a lot of harvest this winter, and couldn't help but say a bunch of flattering words about the tiger father and no dog. used a few skins to offset the hunting bullets he had taken for nothing, and Liu Zixuan's income still far exceeded expectations. After collecting the money and leaving the old shop, Liu Zixuan was very pleased, and it was the first time he single-handedly hunted ferrets to support his family, so he naturally cared more about the final result.

went to the market to purchase daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, Liu Zixuan also wanted to bring something back to Gu Nanyan, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was most appropriate to add her a new dress, so he entered the supply and marketing cooperative for the first time in his life. There is a huge supply and marketing cooperative, and after turning around several times, Liu Zixuan remembered that he didn't know what size of clothes Gu Nanyan should wear, and the clerks standing at the counter were all women, where could he open his mouth to ask them? When he was in a dilemma, he happened to see a young woman looking at clothes in front of a counter, and looked at the woman's figure that was exactly similar to Gu Nanyan, and waited for a long time, until the woman bought the clothes and left, Liu Zixuan walked to the counter, and was embarrassed to ask the price, only told the clerk that he would also take one according to the size that the lesbian had just bought. The female clerk handed the clothes to Liu Zixuan, Liu Zixuan gave the money, took the clothes and left in a hurry.

Out of the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, he breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that if he wanted to buy clothes for Gu Nanyan in the future, he would have to bring her with him to be appropriate, he didn't want to come to this kind of place for a second time, in contrast, he would rather go to the forest to face the beasts. Just a few steps out of the door, I suddenly realized that a large basket of things I had bought before was still lost in front of the counter, so I had to run back to get it. The clerks on both sides couldn't stop laughing at him when they saw him coming and going clumsily.

In this way, a hard-won piece of clothing was finally bought, out of the supply and marketing cooperative, and remembered the two old people in Yanggongjing, so Liu Zixuan went to buy fruits, snacks and wine...... Now that his mother's funeral period is about to expire, he is afraid that Gu Laohan will not be able to cope with the relocation again, and he thought deeply, he planned to buy two catties of fruit, he bought four catties, he planned to buy one piece of dim sum, but he bought two bottles, and he could have bought one bottle of wine and bought two bottles...... Let them know that their daughter is doing well on the rabbit gang, and they will probably not mention the matter of moving again!

After counting the things that should be bought, Liu Zixuan hurried back.

After months of running around in the woods, it finally paid off, and at this time, Liu Zixuan walked again, and his steps became more and more sonorous. Even though he was carrying a basket full of backs, he didn't feel tired, and he walked much faster than when he came.

Back on the rabbit hill, Gu Nanyan saw that he had brought so many things back, and while coming over to take the basket, he said: "Why did you buy so much today, it is wine and water, melons and fruits." ”

Liu Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "What you said, I will send it to the two old people in Yanggongjing tomorrow." ”

When Gu Nanyan heard this, she smiled and said, "Even if you have a conscience, I didn't look away at the beginning." After speaking, he turned around and brought a basin of water and put it in front of Liu Zixuan.

Seeing Gu Nanyan bringing water, Liu Zixuan also lost no time in laughing and said, "I didn't look away at the beginning. ”

Gu Nanyan pursed her lips and looked at the basket again. In the basket, she was the first to find the new set of clothes, held it in her hand and looked at it for a long time before asking, "Is this for me?" ”

"You try it and see if it fits." Liu Zixuan washed his face while copying water, and replied.

"Try? Right now? Do you know what kind of dress this is? Gu Nanyan asked.

"When I saw someone else buying, I bought it, and I didn't know what kind of clothes it was. Can't wear it? ”

"It's close-fitting pajamas! You wood, how did you think to buy this? Another waste of money. ”

"As long as you can wear it, it's not a waste."

"Wood is always stronger than stone. Let's try it again in the evening, see that this fabric is all cotton, how much does it cost? ”

Liu Zixuan rolled his eyes and thought about it, but he couldn't think of how much the clothes costed, so he had to say, "I forgot." ”

"Like these dispensable, don't buy them if you can, and you're not a rich person, what are you doing in this fashion!" Although Gu Nanyan said this, there was joy on her face that could not be hidden.

After Gu Nanyan finished speaking, Liu Zixuancha also washed his face, dried his hands, took out the money he brought back, and handed it to Gu Nanyan in one go. Gu Nanyan took the money in her hand, opened her eyes as round as the fifteenth moon, and said for a long time: "That thing is so valuable?" I can't count the amount of money I can't count, and today I'm a showman! ”

Liu Zixuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and hurriedly asked: "I always say Xiuzhi Xiuzhi, which one is this Xiuzhi?" ”

"Li Xiuzhi, you don't know her." Gu Nanyan counted the money while talking casually.

When Gu Nanyan said this, Liu Zixuan became even more curious, and couldn't help but ask again: "It should be your Yanggongjing people, right?" ”

When Gu Nanyan heard this, the two fifteen-year-old moons immediately laughed back to the first day of junior high school, and after laughing, she said: "That's right, it's the people from Yanggongjing, our neighbors, let's go over tomorrow and take you to meet her-ah, how many have you just counted?" Don't talk to me......"

Liu Zixuan didn't understand what Gu Nanyan was laughing at, so he had to smile at him as usual.

After breakfast the next day, the little couple went to Yanggongjing. Seeing that the son-in-law had brought so many things, the two old men were overjoyed. After lunch, Liu Zixuan played a few games of chess with Gu Laohan, and the young couple returned to Rabbit Gang. Fortunately, the old couple of the Gu family did not mention the matter of moving again after all, and the stone that Liu Zixuan had been hanging in his heart fell to the ground steadily.

After surviving the monotony of the winter, the mountains and fields finally have green sky, and at this time, people's mood will gradually brighten up with the change of seasons. On this day, Liu Zixuan was taking care of the vegetable garden, and suddenly heard Gu Nanyan calling him in the yard, and he didn't know what was going on for a while, so he put down the work in his hand, and when he came out of the vegetable garden, he saw that Gu Nanyan had run out of the yard, holding an egg in his hand.

"Zixuan, come and see, the chickens I raised are starting to lay eggs, this is the first one, there will be a second, just three ......" Gu Nanyan held the egg, as if she had a pearl.

"I didn't worry about it in vain, there will be eggs to eat in the future. This egg is laid at the right time, and the leeks I planted are almost fattening, as the saying goes: the spring cold did not go far, and the spring leeks came into the vegetables. ”

"It's not light, but you are not lightly beautiful, as the saying goes, spring eggs are eaten as rice! After you eat your leeks and I'll eat my eggs! ”

Knowing that he would never be able to win Gu Nanyan in his mouth, Liu Zixuan had no choice but to laugh again.

"The chickens are laying eggs, the flower magpies' nests are almost ready, and spring is coming so fast...... By the way, my carrot seeds, it's time to plant ......"

After Gu Nanyan finished speaking, she ran back to the yard with the egg in her hand.

In the spring season, it can really make people feel cheerful, watching Gu Nanyan busy inside and out, Liu Zixuan added a little good mood.

As the saying goes: the plan of the year lies in the spring. For the farmers living at the foot of the mountain, spring planting and autumn harvest are particularly important, Liu Zixuan turned over the vegetable garden, carefully planted several kinds of beans and fruits, and took care of the vegetable garden at the same time, but also carefully took care of the happy days of the two people.
