Chapter 16 When is the Captain?
Before the rainy season arrived, Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng had already moved into the newly built courtyard, five rammed earth houses with blue brick foundations, the easternmost two were rooms for two people to sleep, the middle was the kitchen, and the two west rooms were prepared for autumn grain, and the other was put with farm tools.
On the west side of the main house is a cowshed, near the west wall there is a haystack, the thatched house is in the southwest corner, and directly south is a large vegetable garden.
Although the two didn't dare to buy anything on the way to immigrate, they bought all kinds of vegetable seeds, and there are almost any vegetables in this vegetable garden.
After another heavy rain, Gu Jin made lunch and walked out of the yard, and saw Wang holding a slightly bulging belly, walking to the ground with hay.
What she has in her stomach now should be a crossing girl, right? The sister who was pampered by the whole family because she looked like her.。
Gu Jin looked at Wang's stomach and lost his mind slightly.
Because of Gu Changping's warning, the Wang family has never approached Gu Jin in the past six months, and now when he sees her looking at himself, his eyes are full of ridicule.
What's the matter, it's not easy to face such a powerful little man every day, right?
It's a pity, if this girl didn't expose herself so much, she could have taught her how to live under such a man, but now she can only do it herself.
Gu Jin didn't know what Wang was thinking, but he understood the ridicule in her eyes, and turned his head speechlessly and left.
Shen Jingcheng went to see the fields on the north side of the soil slope, and he didn't know what the situation was.
As soon as Gu Jin arrived at the edge of the dirt slope, he saw Shen Jingcheng walking out of the ground with a shovel, so he raised his voice and asked, "How is it?" Is there standing water in the ground? ”
"Basically, as long as it doesn't rain for the past two days, it shouldn't be a big problem." Shen Jingcheng walked towards her with feet full of mud, and his smile was very relaxed.
The land here is still very fertile, and these days the rain is irrigated, the seedlings in the field are growing upward, and the straw is also very stout, as long as there is no accident, there will definitely be a good harvest after the autumn.
When Shen Jingcheng went up the dirt slope, the two of them chatted and walked back, and when they passed a patch of weeds, Gu Jin's footsteps suddenly stopped, staring at the two small elm saplings that grew out of the weeds at some point, his eyes were full of joy.
"There's an elm here."
When Shen Jingcheng heard her words, he looked back, and sure enough, he saw two elm saplings with only four or five leaves in the messy weeds.
"Let's move it back and plant it outside the yard, and when the tree grows up, we can enjoy the shade under the tree, and we can eat elm money in the spring." Gu Jin asked him with sparkling eyes.
"Okay."
Shen Jingcheng didn't have anything to do, hearing her say this, he picked up a shovel and dug out the two small elm trees, went home and planted them on both sides of the door, the land that had just rained was very wet, and the saplings didn't even need to be watered after they were planted.
As soon as the two of them planted the tree, they heard a noisy sound coming from in the distance, and when they looked up, they saw that dozens of people had arrived at Gu Changping's nest, men, women and children, all of them were either water or mud, and they were very embarrassed.
Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng glanced at each other, their eyes full of doubts.
What's going on?
Shen Jingcheng saw that Gao Dazhuang and Yang Shishi were also inside, and beckoned to him when Gao Dazhuang inadvertently looked over here.
Gao Dazhuang didn't know what he was calling himself, so he hurriedly ran over.
"What are you doing over there?" Shen Jingcheng asked him.
"The river is rising." Gao Dazhuang saw that he was asking about this, so he told him about the situation on the shore.
It turned out that the water level in the river had already risen because of the rain in the past few days, especially this time, I don't know where it rained heavily, and the dusk water of the river actually flooded the shore, not only flooding all the fields in the thirteen villages, but also the fields they had cultivated.
Now the river has spread out more than two miles to the south, and the bank is now definitely inhabitable, these people have been going south to come here, and when they see this soil slope, some people want to exchange two acres of land for one acre of land in Changping, and settle here.
The corners of Shen Jingcheng's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he let Gao Dazhuang go back.
Those people are also really interesting, take two acres of flooded fields and exchange one acre of land here, who is the fool?
Of course, Gu Changping was not a fool, so he didn't agree to anything.
He has two sons now, and I don't know if there will be a third son in the future, but sooner or later one day he will have to split up, and there will be children and grandchildren.
Seeing that Gu Changping bit down and disagreed, those people could only bow their heads and leave, but they didn't go far, so they randomly found a place in the open space below the dirt slope and began to rest.
Even if this place is still flat, but only this slope is higher, in case the river overflows here, even if Gu Changping refuses to change the land, can't people go up and hide?
Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng saw that those people were rejected by Gu Changping and left, and they were a little curious why they didn't come here to ask.
Whatever the reason, the two are happy to see what they have accomplished.
After all, it is in vain to ask, and they will not agree to change land.
The two didn't know that those people didn't want to come and ask, but they didn't dare.
After Liu Da's incident, now they all know that Shen Jingcheng is a child who can beat three big men, and this is not a master to mess with.
Of course, this matter was not said by Liu Da, but by Yang Shishi and his tall and strong family.
Now Shen Jingcheng is a god in the hearts of those people, the kind that no one dares to provoke.
In this way, the people of the thirteen households lived in the east of the soil slope, and after a few days, Lin Hu, who had measured the land and made the title deed for Shen Jingcheng, came to check the number of casualties with a few officials, and saw that the people of the thirteen households were staying here safely, and brought a message a few days after going back, the two villages were merged here, and they were named after the range of the soil slope of ten acres, called ten acres of village.
The people of the original Thirteen Households Village didn't feel anything when they heard the news, but they regretted that they didn't settle here with Shen Jingcheng at the beginning, if they also settled here, not only would they not be so embarrassed by the water, but the crops they planted would also not be flooded.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and it's too late to regret it.
In the gloomy clouds, Yang Shihe and the tall and strong dug the ground silently, and their eyes were full of happiness.
If it weren't for the fact that they didn't have anything at the beginning and couldn't open up the land, or for the convenience of returning cattle and farm tools, they deliberately opened the land next to Shen Jingcheng's house, and they would definitely be worrying like those people now.
And among them, the two of them are most grateful to Liu Da, if it weren't for Liu Da's mistake to facilitate all this, they are afraid that they would really cry now.
Liu:......
I really didn't expect that.
Shen Jingcheng didn't have much feeling about the merger of the villages, and they were together, anyway, they were living their own lives, and what he couldn't accept was another news brought by Lin Hu.
"What? Am I the governor? Shen Jingcheng looked at Lin Hu dumbfounded, and pointed to his nose in disbelief: "I'm only nine years old?" ”
