Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Past is Moti
Shu Kudzu can eat it, this method was tried by Dongfang Shuo to get his hands on it, Gu Lan was not too uncomfortable.
Instead, she thought that if Dongfang Shuo spread this method, she would gain a lot of points and unlock the system mall.
But she waited for five days and didn't receive a prompt from the system.
At this point, Gu Lan guessed that something might have happened to Dongfang Shuo.
Since the discovery of the edible kudzu in the village, everyone has been in full swing in the process of digging cassava to make cassava flour.
Gu Lan was very busy every day, busy teaching the women in the village how to make food with cassava flour, and the process of making cassava flour in the village was all handed over to Li Zheng and Li Ming, Li Ming was in charge of the ruling work of the village defense team, and he also had to find time every day to train the villagers to guard against wild beast attacks.
Gu Lan told the villagers how to eat cassava flour, although her financial route was cut off for a while, she could no longer sell cassava flour outside like before, for fear that it would attract more people like Dongfang Shuo.
But on the other hand, she got a lot more, especially being able to reach more people and be able to learn more about the world.
The women taught her how to sew clothes and told her that she could grow her own mulberry trees and raise silkworms.
Gu Lan saw that the clothes they were wearing were not silky, and she felt strange in her heart, so she asked the doubts in her heart.
"Since you can raise silkworms and reel silk, why don't you wear them?"
When the women heard this, they looked at each other and laughed, and bluntly said that she was still a child, and she really didn't know the price of firewood and rice, where could they, the poor people, wear such a good thing.
Silk is used to sell, and those rich dignitaries are willing to wear such good things on their bodies, while they can sell them for a sum of money to supplement their families.
At this time, the division of labor between men and women was very obvious, and men were the main force of hard work, but women also had no free time from morning to night.
Cooking in the morning, feeding livestock, cutting pigweed, picking mulberry leaves, raising silkworms, weaving cloth, and countless tasks in the fields make people have no time to rest.
The women at this time look much older than their actual age.
Gu Lan could also see that these were hard-working women, even when they were chatting, they also had work in their hands, as if it was a waste of life to sit there without doing anything in their hands.
The women sat on Gu Lan's kang, which was not big enough, and some of them were either leaning on the edge of the kang or bringing stools from their homes.
Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, the women take turns to go out to do some chores and then come back to keep warm.
They all liked the kang in Gu Lan's house very much, and they couldn't put it down.
Gu Lan had bought chickens and ducklings at the market before, and they shouldn't have survived in winter, but Gu Lan put them in a bamboo basket and then put them on top of the kang, and the warmth made them all survive.
Liang Er and Zhu Er are responsible for feeding these chickens and ducklings every day, they are extremely careful, wash and chop the wild vegetables, add the ground cassava residue, only ten days of work, these chickens and ducks have grown up, must be divided into baskets so that it will not be too crowded.
Some women are very hard when they are young, and they have to do laundry by the river in winter, and after a long time, they will fall into a body of problems, all kinds of rheumatism and arthritis come out, and in winter, they will be sore, and even their joints will be swollen and unable to move.
Gu Lan's ondol is simply their savior, so no matter how cold the weather is, even if the work here does not need to be poured out, the women are still willing to walk some way to Gu Lan's house to rest and chat.
Gu Lan doesn't hate them, they have the good character of poor people, although they take advantage of small advantages, but they are not so thick-skinned, they always come empty-handed, help Gu Lan work, teach Gu Lan things that Gu Lan can't do, or mention things that Gu Lan's family doesn't have.
There were also some women who said good things for Gu Lan.
"Lan girl, wait until the spring of next year, and let Li Zheng help you get the family field back."
"Since your grandmother said that the family will be divided, the one and a half acres of land should have belonged to your father, how can there be any reason why your father is no longer there, and you children are still looking for you children to go back to the land?"
Aunt Ma rubbed her hair with a needle, changed to a comfortable position, and continued her work.
Gu Lan bought a few pieces of cloth, but she didn't know how to cut it, and deliberately cut a small piece to practice repeatedly, and the women couldn't laugh when they saw it, so they took over the task directly from her and helped her sew a set of cotton clothes for each child in the family.
It's worn now.
Gu Lan was helping people to wrap threads, and when she heard this, she pricked up her ears to listen to her high opinion, she didn't speak, and the women echoed: "It's indeed this reason, your grandmother's family doesn't do anything, you are a kind-hearted person, we are all watching, don't be afraid, if they are not willing to return the land, I promise to make them look good!" ”
"Hey, by the way, why haven't I seen the Gu family in the past few days, we are so lively here, it stands to reason that they should have found out a long time ago!"
As soon as the topic came to the Gu family, these women talked more, and they counted the lack of virtue done by the Gu family, and some people remembered that the last time Dongfang Shuo brought someone to ask Shu Ge Fazi, it seemed that it was the way led by the Gu family.
Last time, the atmosphere was tense, and who in the village still noticed this, but when they talked about it, the more they thought about it, the more wrong it became.
"Xinghua, this girl, I still watched grow up, I was cute when I was a child, why do I get more and more confused the more I grow up?"
"Hey, I said Aunt Zhao, didn't your family Fusheng marry Xinghua? When are you going to get married? If this comes into your house in the future, you will have to bother to discipline it well! ”
The women brushed their hands and looked at the woman in the corner who was weaving a bamboo basket.
That woman is Zhao Fusheng's mother, Zhao Yu's family, and everyone in the village calls her Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao sneered, not daring to raise her eyes to look at Gu Lan's face.
When Gu Lan's father and mother died, she had to take her younger brothers and sisters alone, Aunt Zhao didn't want her son to marry such a woman back, she cried and made trouble at home, and tried every means to dissuade her, which made Zhao Fusheng cancel the marriage contract with Gu Lan.
Then she saw that the Gu family's apricot blossoms were a little interesting to Zhao Fusheng, and often found excuses to serve him tea and water, so she thought about it again and set Gu Lan's cousin for Zhao Fusheng.
She was a little smug and felt that she had done a good deed, but now she ......
She said anxiously: "Lan girl, don't blame Fusheng, he was blind at the beginning, forcing him to divorce you, in fact, Fusheng has always been ...... in his heart"
"Okay, okay, what are you going to do now!" An older woman interrupted Aunt Zhao's words, it was Aunt Ming, and she said with a serious face: "Since I have already done the matter of repentance, Lan Yatou has nothing to do with your family Fusheng, not to mention, I think Aji and Lan Yatou are quite compatible!" ”
