Chapter 153: Where does the strength come from not having enough to eat?

After dinner, it was still early, and everyone sat in the courtyard to enjoy the breeze.

It's not hot, the sea breeze is quite strong, and it's refreshing.

Everyone looked comfortable, the sadness of the loss of the country, the panic of the flight, as if they had been slowly soothed with the passage of time, although they became prisoners in a foreign land, but with the settlement here, the turbulent heart also settled down.

No matter how hard it is, won't you survive it? What's better than being a family?

What's more, this place is really beautiful!

Standing in the courtyard and looking around, I saw such a scene.

Under the fiery sunset, the beach and the endless sea are on the south, and the mangrove forest on the west is filled with the roar of returning seabirds.

A wide avenue runs up from the beach, flanked by rows of golden wooden houses, leaning against the cliff face the sea.

On one side is the land that is about to be reclaimed, and it will be a beautiful scenery to plant vegetables and rice in the back.

The children were tired of playing, Mama Cao went to sleep with her, and the others sat at two tables, one holding a fresh coconut in her hand and drinking the coconut juice inside.

Xu Jingling put the finished coconut shell under the table, and said with great interest while combing his wet hair with his fingers: "Sister, there are tea trees in the jungle, I dug one up today and temporarily transplanted it behind the house." ”

"Really? That's great! Xu Jingluo was also quite surprised, "Pay attention to it when you go out to open up the wasteland tomorrow, but if you come across a tea tree, dig it back, and plant a tea garden at that time, so that you can pick tea leaves and drink new tea in the coming year." ”

"Uh-huh." Xu Jingling nodded excitedly.

Xu Jingan also remembered something at this time, and took out a handful of yam eggs from the pocket of his changed clothes.

"These are yam seeds, and if you see them all plucked in the future, you will dig up a piece of land and plant yam."

He also listened to what the friends on the village said, and picked a lot with everyone.

It is already autumn now, and the yam eggs are already ripe and ready for seeding, and there is no winter in this kind of extreme southern land, and as soon as the land is reclaimed, you can plant it in the soil.

Zhang's also had a harvest and came over with a few wild lilies.

"Aunt Qian said that this is a lily, I heard that the soup is very nourishing."

At the moment, there are no seeds, and if you come across any food that can be transplanted, collect all of it, and no one will waste it.

Cuiying took a basket out, put yam eggs and wild lilies in the basket, and put them in a cool place and put them away properly.

When the family was discussing these things, Gu Changgong watched quietly from the side, everything they said was so ordinary and trivial, but he could listen attentively, and pictures couldn't help but appear in his mind.

Lush tea plantations, vegetable patches full of lilies, green plants for climbing vines...... Everything, peaceful and wonderful.

Just as he was distracted, Xu Jingluo looked around the wide courtyard in front of the house and said, "The houses in the village are almost finished, and the remaining timber is distributed according to households, and each family can get a lot. ”

"At that time, we will use wooden planks to lay out the courtyard into a terrace, and then plant flowers and plants around the fence, so that it will look better!"

"But......" Xu Jingluo blinked his apricot eyes and looked at Gu Chang respectfully, "We are all busy clearing the wasteland, and this wood is ......."

Gu Changgong replied with great insight: "I'll carry it, I'll move it, I'll shop it, this work belongs to me~~"

Zhang Fuquan listened and couldn't help sighing.

Alas, the second highness of his master does not do it, but he is bent on being a son-in-law in the Xu family, and he stays here as a coolie.

However, it is better to have children, daughters and mothers-in-law than to be lonely for life!

What's the solution? It's hard to buy a favorite with money, and I only love such a woman with a dead heart, who can stop her from being a cow and a horse if I am willing to be a cow and a horse?

"Then you'll have to work hard for Gu Gongzi." The corners of Xu Jingluo's lips curled up with a triumphant smile, "From tomorrow onwards, Gu Gongzi will have to cook in addition to moving wood, laying terraces, and cooking...... If you can't bear it, don't hold on, you didn't sell yourself to us, you can leave at any time. ”

If you don't go, you'll be exhausted and your labor force will be drained, hehe!

Everyone looked at Gu Changgong with sympathy.

If you don't talk too much, you only have to do one job, and even the work in the stove room falls on your head, right? Do you deserve it?

Gu Changgong looked at the big guy sympathetically, and said disapprehantly: "It's okay, I can withstand it~~ For the sake of Aluo, I have to resist it." ”

After receiving such an affirmative answer, the family members were relieved, they were so optimistic about him, don't be so scared that you run away overnight!

I was scared by the python today, and I was very tired, so I sat in the courtyard for a while, and then went back to the house to sleep.

Four rooms, ten people, inevitably a little crowded at night.

However, the interior of the house is clean and comfortable with wooden floors, and there is no difference between sleeping on the floor and sleeping in a bed.

Gu Changgong, Xu Jing'an, Zhang Fuquan, the three of them are in one room.

When Xu Jing'an and Zhang Fuquan came back from the end, they saw that Gu Changgong had occupied their place, sleeping on the floor next to the wall, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them.

"Master, how can you sleep on the floor? Go to bed. ”

"Yes, brother-in-law, why did you lie on the ground when you slept in bed well?"

Gu Changgong said faintly: "Aluo's bed is placed against the wall, and I sleep here close to Aluo, which is equivalent to sleeping in a bed with her......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a shrill sound of dragging the bed in the room over there, and Xu Jing'an and Zhang Fu shook their heads without emotion.

The next day, Xu Jingluo got up from a lazy nap, and saw that breakfast had been set on the table, and he smelled the fragrance and was not as good as her.

This cooking, hehe!

Everyone was already seated at the table, and when they saw Xu Jingluo, Cui Ying hurriedly got up to greet her.

"Girl, go wash up, I'll wait for you to have breakfast."

"What's the hurry?" Xu Jingluo propped his chin and walked to Gu Changgong's table without hurrying, and looked at it.

Porridge, pancakes~~ Although it is not bad, the color and fragrance are obviously inferior to her, Xu Jingluo smiled dumbly after reading it.

"Changgong Gu Gongzi, just your craftsmanship ......" Xu Jingluo glanced at his family members with distrust, "Mother, Jingling Jing'an, Runtian Yibao, if you don't turn your elbows out, Gu Gongzi can roll up and leave!" ”

Xu Jingluo looked at Gu Changgong for a long time, dare to challenge her at this cooking level? This is really smashing your own field, right? See how you end.

was waiting for Gu Changgong's joke with a smug face, but Cui Ying hurriedly ran over.

"Girl, you misunderstood, this meal was not made by Gu Gongzi, it was me." She said as she dragged Xu Jingluo to the table on the side.

Xu Jingluo's smile froze on his face.

"You did it? What are you rushing to cook? I don't know if anyone is doing this job? ”

Cui Ying snorted: "Don't everyone have to work, if you can't eat, where does the strength come from?" ”

This clearly implies that Gu Changgong's cooking skills are poor, but in fact, he is trying to find a way to relieve Gu Changgong, as long as Gu Gongzi is not allowed to cook, won't the girl find a reason to drive him away?

Xu Jingluo didn't think much about it, he felt that what Cui Ying said was not unreasonable, the chance of that guy knowing how to cook is very small, how to eat it if he makes a pot of pig food? I still have to starve.

Thinking of this, he sat down at the table, picked up a pancake, and said, "Eat." ”

After eating, Xu Jingluo unceremoniously sent Gu Changgong to the shipyard to transport wood.

On the way, Zhang Fuquan looked at his master with a distressed face.

"We have a lot of our own people planted at the gate of the city, why don't the servants go and report a message and ask them to come and work?"

"No need." Gu Changgong shook his head resolutely, "People who practice martial arts, can't do this bit of work?" ”

Zhang Fuquan's eyes rolled: "We are capable, how can the delicate girl of Keluo be capable?" I don't know how hard it is to dig the wasteland~~"

Gu Changgong was silent when he heard this.

In the yard, Xu Jingluo instructed Mama Cao to take care of the children at home, and she picked up the hoe in the corner and said to Zhang and the others: "The wasteland we cut out is wide enough, and we will start digging the roots and digging the ground from today, and then we can sow the seeds when we get them." ”

"Okay." Zhang nodded, she was originally an idealess, and she was not familiar with farming, and Xu Jingluo was in charge of this family.

The hoe was not enough, so she asked Cuiying to go to Aunt Qian's house to borrow two, and then carried the hoe to the field with a firewood knife.

This land looks bare, but it is still far from being reclaimed.

The roots of all kinds of shrubs and thorns are deeply rooted in the ground, and they must all be dug out, otherwise, it will not be long before new shoots will grow.
