Chapter 14: Don't be ignorant
Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng had just been cutting reeds for two days when a heavy snowfall blocked their way out.
In the cold wind, the two of them blocked the door tightly with hay, and while burning the fire by the stove to keep warm, they also used the light of the fire to read and write.
These days, the two of them have been busy, and only then do they have time to learn to read.
To be honest, Shen Jingcheng's learning ability is still very strong, basically he knew one word Gu Jin taught twice.
Of course, it's just an acquaintance, and you can't write, after all, Gu Jin has never learned to write, at most, it's just a cat and a tiger.
But even so, one of them is happy to teach, and the other is serious about learning.
The next day, the two were woken up by the sound at the door, Shen Jingcheng took away the hay blocking the door, and saw Gu Dajiang standing there with a shovel.
Behind him was a snow-white path, and the snow on both sides was as high as his thigh, leading straight to the Gu family.
"It's too much snow, Dad asked me to come and take a look, you're okay." Gu Dajiang didn't know what to say to Shen Jingcheng, and when he saw that the two of them were fine, he turned around with a shovel and left.
Shen Jingcheng looked around and saw that the snow on the top of his ground had been cleaned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Gu Jin came out to look at the snow walls on both sides of the path that were higher than her, and then looked at the top of the clean ground that had been cleaned, pointed to the departing Gu Dajiang and asked Shen Jingcheng: "What did he clean?" ”
"yes." Shen Jingcheng stood for a while and felt that the whole person was frozen, and hurriedly pushed her back.
"It's cold outside, let's go back."
After Shen Jingcheng asked her to go back, she went next door to look at the calf, and when she saw that the calf was fine, she added a handful of grass to it and came back to block the door tightly again, and started a literate life with Gu Jin.
I don't know the years in the mountains, and I don't know the years in the wilderness.
The two don't have a perpetual calendar, and they don't know what day each day is, they just feel that it's almost, and symbolically say good to each other, even if they are a year older.
This winter is very cold, it snows a total of three times, and each time it snows, the weather is a little colder, but because of each other, the two don't even feel sad.
It wasn't until the snow began to melt and the north wind stopped blowing so frequently that the temperature slowly rose, and the two began to live a life of sunrise and daily rest.
I don't know how long it took, the frozen Daqing River slowly froze, the weeds in the field began to sprout, and the craftsman who built the house led people to deliver the house materials, and the two knew the specific date, and at the same time, it was time to cultivate the land.
Just like Shen Jingcheng said, he didn't go to the thirteen villages to find people to work, but asked the craftsmen to find a few good farmers to pay wages or food.
A few days later, the craftsman who came again to deliver the materials brought with him three lean men, tall and short.
The three men knew that the owners of this house were two children when they came, so they were not too surprised when they saw Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin, and when Shen Jingcheng asked them to plow the open space on the soil slope first, they went to work very quickly.
Thirteen villages, the three men who don't have any farm tools are a little anxious, now the farming has started for more than half a month, almost every household has cultivated a few acres of land, only the three of them have done nothing, and the kid surnamed Shen has never been found, is there really no need for them?
"Boss, why don't I ask?" Honest man, Yang Shi was a little breathless.
His family of seven people, large and small, opened their mouths to fill with grain, but he didn't have any farm tools, and he couldn't cultivate the land with just two hands.
"yes, why don't you go and have a look." The tall and strong man next to Yang Shi was also a little anxious.
He doesn't care about himself, but there are still old people and children waiting to eat at home, so he can't just keep waiting, right?
The man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, that is, Liu Da, who was called big brother by the two, looked at Yang Shishi, and then looked at the tall and strong, gritted his teeth and slapped his thighs and got up and walked forward.
"Let's go, let's see."
From the beginning of farming, he stopped the two when they wanted to find someone, and now the crops in the first acre of land in the village have grown into small seedlings, and it is no longer realistic to stop them, so let's go and see.
Three quarters of an hour later, when they arrived at Shuanghu Village, they were shocked by the scene before them and could not walk.
I saw that the two-meter-high soil slope was already a flat field, and there were craftsmen who were building houses in the western half of the land were busy, Gu Changping took the family to cultivate the field in the eastern half of the north of the soil slope, and the two children and three big men were cultivating in the western half, and there were already more than ten acres of fields that began to emerge seedlings.
"Big, big brother, he, he, he's looking for someone." Yang Shishi pointed at Shen Jingcheng and stammered, his eyes were full of panic.
What can I do?
If this child doesn't need him, how will he feed the family? And how to open up the wasteland?
Liu Da was not blind, of course he saw that Shen Jingcheng had already found someone, and he was still three strong men.
But he can't back down, if he retreats, his two brothers won't be able to pull down their faces and force themselves to work.
"Shen family boy, do you still need someone to work here?" Liu Da walked towards Shen Jingcheng with a smile on his face.
As soon as a few people arrived here, Shen Jingcheng saw it, and when he saw Liu Daxiang walking towards him, he immediately pulled Gu Jin behind him, smiled faintly at a few people, and said, "Don't do it, I've already found someone." ”
"Isn't that the case, is there still a lot of suspicion in the work? In this case, according to the conditions you proposed, how about we give you two days of work and one day of cattle and farm tools? Liu Da stopped a few steps away from him to continue persuading.
"No need, the three uncles I found are all good at work, and I don't need so many people." Shen Jingcheng refused again.
"That ......"
"Not really."
Liu Da wanted to say something more, but Shen Jingcheng interrupted directly, anyway, it was just a sentence, no need.
was rejected repeatedly, the smile on Liu Da's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Shen Jingcheng with heavy eyes, Shen Jingcheng's face remained unchanged, and he looked at him lightly.
"Boy, don't be ignorant." After a long time, Liu Da gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
"I didn't know what to do when I was young." Shen Jingcheng raised his eyebrows without flinching.
For the first time in his life, Liu Da was so provoked by a child, his anger rushed to his head, and he raised his big hand and came towards him angrily, even if Gu Changping was not far away, he had to let this kid know that some people couldn't refuse.
However, as soon as Liu Da took a step, Shen Jingcheng also moved, and the whole person rushed to Liu Da like an arrow, grabbed his arm with both hands and dragged it down, and his shoulder hit him the stomach, throwing the person over the shoulder, at the same time, Shen Jingcheng's knees also knelt his shoulder blades, only to hear two crisp clicks, Liu Da's arms immediately disobeyed the command, but this was not the end, and two fingers poked straight into his eyes.
Liu Da didn't react at all, he was already facing such a situation, and he was suddenly frightened to his eyes, staring at the two fingers in front of him and not daring to breathe.
