Su Xiaomu has already decided, and now this field will be turned into an experimental field.

If all goes well, she will be able to harvest her first potatoes before winter.

It will be October in a few days, if Su Xiaomu remembers correctly, Uncle Liang came to her two days ago and said that after everyone sprayed the insecticide, they were going to harvest the millet one after another.

After all, they are all afraid of this year's locust plague, and they would rather reduce their production now than have all of them eaten by locusts and have not been harvested.

Su Xiaomu also agreed with their decision, and she knew in her own heart how effective the insecticides she had researched would be.

Therefore, insecticides can effectively kill locusts, but after all, the weeds cannot be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows again.

So these days, she has also reduced the number of guests she entertains every day, giving the villagers who work in her room plenty of time to go back to the autumn harvest.

Of course, another reason why everyone is so energetic is that they have heard more or less in the past few days that other places in the surrounding area have begun to be attacked by locusts.

Although the number of locusts is small, because they did not prepare in advance, they have damaged a lot of money and food, and I heard that in the county town closest to the east, someone was bitten to death by locusts.

And Su Xiaomu, when he first heard the news that someone had died, couldn't help but be very shocked.

But there was a limit to what she could do alone, and it was not easy to protect the people of Fucheng at that time.

can only say that the other people around her have nothing to do with her, probably because of this fate.

Therefore, Su Xiaomu, who adhered to such an idea, did not refuse any of them when the villagers came to give her gifts to thank her, and accepted all their gifts calmly.

It's just a normal thing.

Of course, compared to the villagers who gave congratulatory gifts, Su Xiaomu was somewhat happier when he saw Gu Jingcheng.

"I see you've been a lot busy these days, you've lost a lot of weight, it seems...... In recent days, I should ask Aunt Zhao to boil more chicken soup for you, it won't be long before it will be winter, if you don't stick some fat, how can you survive the winter? ”

When Su Xiaomu said this, he was eating fresh melons and fruits in early autumn very leisurely.

Pears, grapes and pomegranates, she loves them all, she can't put them down, and she can't wait to fill them all in her mouth.

Gu Jingcheng sat down opposite her, he stretched out his slender fingers and twisted a grape to feed it in his mouth, and a relaxed smile appeared in the silent place on his face that was tired from Sunday's exertion: "You have plumped a lot." ”

"I'm anxious."

Su Xiaomu coughed lightly and motioned for him not to stay too much on the topic.

"We haven't seen each other for more than ten days, don't say I really miss you, you haven't told me yet, what did you do after you were busy killing insects? But I heard Master Wan say that you haven't been to his house to study since the last time I went to see you. ”

Su Xiaomu was not very worried about Gu Jingcheng's study situation.

She knew that he was a gifted and knowledgeable person, and now she asked this only curious, what could make him do it without studying?

"It's a bit tricky."

Gu Jingcheng guessed that she would ask herself this, but he didn't expect her to ask so early.

He muttered: "Fucheng and the villages around Fucheng, because of your reminder, everyone has not suffered any disasters, nor has they lost any money, but the other surrounding areas are different, I think you have heard about it these days." ”

"Someone died, they were bitten by locusts."

Su Xiaomu mentioned that it was related to human life, and immediately became serious: "This matter...... Does the capital know? ”

"Well, that's what I'm going to tell you next."

Gu Jingcheng sighed: "Because there are relatively few disasters on our side, the county master has accumulated a lot of merits in this matter, he is afraid that he will be promoted, according to reliable information, the promotion order from above will probably arrive in a few days." ”

"What about you?"

Su Xiaomu wanted to know if Gu Jingcheng had been running for the county master for so long, had he gotten any benefits from it?

Gu Jingcheng has done so much for him these days, it is impossible for him to become a free labor force in the end, right?

"It's considered that I got some, the county order said that he would write me a letter of recommendation to the capital, if everything goes well, this matter can add a lot of the emperor's favor to me before the imperial examination."

Gu Jingcheng couldn't help but be a little tired when he talked about this, he stretched out his fingers and gently softened his temples, his handsome face was full of tiredness, and he said with a few wry smiles.

"Before this time, I only thought about my own many experiences about people's livelihood, plus reading the articles that have won first in ancient times, but when I really experienced it once, I realized how difficult the people's lives are and how heavy the word people's livelihood is."

"You don't have to put so much pressure on yourself, the life of the people has little to do with you now, you yourself are still a member of the crowd, there is no need to put heavy shackles on yourself so early, and when you really live in the temple one day, you have the opportunity to change the fate of all beings, and then reflect on whether you are not good enough, whether you are not far enough away."

Su Xiaomu reached out and patted him on the shoulder, soothing his frowning brows for him with a smile: "Okay, let's think about what we have today, I'll tell the chef of the club later that she doesn't have to cook, I'll cook it for you, tell me what you want to eat." ”

"Your credit ......" Gu Jingcheng did not reply to Su Xiaomu about eating, but looked away, a little afraid to look at her.

"These things can be solved so properly, all of them depend on your credit, although the county magistrate said before that his name will not be omitted, but the report is anonymous, so everyone ...... It's hard to know what you've done for them. ”

The benefits that Gu Jingcheng can get are already in front of him.

He has been running around with Wu Shu these days, and the locust plague has already crossed the road in front of the people, and the county magistrate sent it, although it is not explicitly said that it is him, only vaguely mentions that there is a student to help.

But now, it seems that there is no difference from Ming's statement.

This time, only Su Xiaomu was the real contribution, and he didn't leave a name.

"I don't care, I don't care if I can let everyone know that it has something to do with me."

Su Xiaomu never thought of creating an image of a good person for herself.

In addition, she doesn't want to be famous and doesn't want to be the target of public criticism.

I just want to make money in obscurity.

So if her credit can help Gu Jingcheng in the end, it will be the best.

Su Xiaomu has always understood what she really wants.

"Let's eat, don't talk about it anymore when this matter is over, and for me, it doesn't matter who gets the benefit, the point is that someone gets the benefit."
