The Lost Realm Chapter 53 Farm Life
Time passed slowly, the villagers came and went in the courtyard, Zhuang Rushuang was also busy for an afternoon, helping Wu You to take the poems to the villagers, and chatting with the villagers, while Jian Xiao had been pruning the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and after pruning, he began to prepare the tools for tomorrow's farming.
The sky was slowly getting a little dark, Wu You put down his pen, looked up and looked out the window into the distance, only to see that the red sun was only half of his body hanging in the distant sky, and Zhuang Rushuang was sitting in the small pavilion picking vegetables in the courtyard, while Jian Xiao was drinking tea on the side.
After Wu You got up and stretched, he felt his tiredness, and couldn't help but sigh a little, when he was in the outside world, Wu You would not be tired no matter how long he read, how long he read, how long he wrote, and how long he wrote, at most, he was mentally tired, and it seemed that it was really time to exercise.
After Wu You came out of the room, he walked towards the small pavilion, and after Jian Xiao saw Wu You coming, he poured tea for Wu You and said, "Xiaoyou, there are more people coming to my house today than the wine banquet I held when I married your aunt." I also sent a lot of things, which couldn't fit in the kitchen. In the end, there was no way, your aunt pushed off a lot of them for you, and these things are enough for our family to eat for a month. ”
Zhuang Rushuang gave Jian Xiao a roll of his eyes, which means that for such a big event as the old lady marrying you, hasn't anyone Xiaoyou written a poem yet?
Seeing this scene, Wu You smiled and said, "I didn't expect it, I was too enthusiastic." ”
Subsequently, the two chatted for a while, Zhuang Rushuang went into the kitchen after picking the vegetables and began to prepare dinner, Wu You wanted to leave after a few days to find Xiao Chongwu and Lingjun.
Jian Xiao insisted on letting Wu You stay for a little longer, saying that tomorrow he would go to the post station five miles away to ask someone to write a letter to his daughter. Just asked Wu You where his hometown was located, and Jian Xiao also understood it like the villagers, but he didn't know where the court was.
It just so happened that Lao Li Tou next door was going to the town to see his son and grandson the day after tomorrow, and Lao Li Tou had already promised to take Wu You over.
Seeing this, Wu You did not refuse Jian Xiao's kindness, so he stayed longer.
Early the next morning, Wu You carried farm tools and Jian Xiao and his wife to the field yesterday to farm, and Xia Cicada was still on the tree, not singing.
The villagers greeted Wu You warmly, and Wu You was also very happy to go back one by one, and when they all went to work in the fields, Wu You began to recite the poem aloud.
The villagers were doing farm work while reciting along with Wu You, and it wasn't long before everyone would recite the poem themselves, and some villagers suggested that Wu You teach literacy under the plane tree in the middle of the village in the afternoon.
Before Wu You refused, some villagers shouted: "The little friend can read and break words, and he is so handsome that he is determined to do great things, you bosses don't want to delay others." ”
"Long-winded, if you could be like your father, do farm work with us with a belly of ink, read poetry to us, teach us to read and read, and tell stories like the storyteller in the tavern in Yecheng. ”
"Okay, don't be verbose, if you want me to say, it's better for Lao Jian to marry Xiaoru to Wu You, and let Wu You be Lao Jian's son-in-law, which is more reliable. ”
"Yes, Lao Litou's proposal is good. Old Jane can think about it. ”
..................
The time in the field, spent in a recitation of ancient poems and laughter, Wu You looked at this group of people who had no quarrel with the world a little kindly, and couldn't help but think of the people who had escaped the enemy and entered this lost realm in the past few years, whether they were also living a courtyard, a few acres of fertile land, marrying a good wife and having children, this kind of relaxed and comfortable life.
After returning home, Wu You helped Jian Xiao write the home he wanted to send to Jian Ru, and the book was roughly about Jian Xiao and Zhuang Rushuang's concerns, and they also missed their daughters, and finally asked about the situation in the capital.
After Jian Xiao rested for a while, he took the letter and went out to the post station five miles away, Wu You wanted to help carry it when he went to the town tomorrow, but Jian Xiao told him that the post station and the town were not in the same direction, Wu You also dispelled the idea, and sat in the small pavilion alone thinking about what to do in the town tomorrow.
The next day, Wu You did not bring the burden and the bronze sword, early in the morning put the gold and silver placed in the burden in his arms and then went out of the room, after leaving the room, he saw Zhuang Rushuang preparing breakfast, Jian Xiao looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, Jian Xiao saw Wu You and shouted Zhuang Rushuang to do faster.
Jian Xiao took out a money bag from her arms and handed it to Wu You, "Xiaoyou, you can take this money to help me buy some vegetable seeds in the town." I told Lao Li Tou, he will take you to buy, and you can also buy some delicious food. ”
Wu You looked at the money bag handed over, he didn't know what money was used in this world in the past few days of living in Jian Xiao's house, Wu You didn't ask, Wu You also knew Jian Xiao's temperament in the past few days, if he didn't answer, there would definitely be a lot of words below, so he didn't politely take the bag and put it in his arms.
Seeing that Wu You didn't shirk, Jian Xiao smiled heartily and patted Wu You's shoulder, Zhuang Rushuang also came out of the kitchen with breakfast at this time, and Wu You walked into the kitchen to help serve dishes and take dishes and chopsticks.
When eating, a burst of cicadas remembered, the three of them looked up and saw a summer cicada standing on the beam of the pavilion, that summer cicada was the one that Wu You brought into this lost realm from Nanyantian, but I don't know when I returned to this courtyard from the field, Xia Cicada saw that after the three of them saw themselves, their bodies fell forward, and landed on Wu You's shoulders steadily, Jian Xiao and Zhuang Rushuang were secretly surprised, so they asked where this summer cicada came from, so spiritual.
Wu You didn't know why Xia Cicada had to follow him all the time, and he didn't understand that he had to stand on his shoulder, so he shook his head and said bitterly: "When this Xia Cicada was in a mountain forest, he put it on my shoulder, and he didn't leave in a hurry. ”
Jian Xiao and Zhuang Rushuang still felt a little magical, but they didn't believe in the ghosts and gods, so they didn't think too much, they just felt that this summer cicada had spirituality.
When he was about to finish eating, the old Li Tou in the courtyard next door was shouting that he was almost ready to go, Wu You also sped up the speed of eating, and after the meal, Jian Xiao and Zhuang Rushuang took Wu You out, Wu You just went out and saw a donkey cart at the door of the courtyard next door, Lao Li Tou and his daughter-in-law were moving some things in and out of the car, and Wu You went over to help.
"Old Li Tou, you bring so many things every time you go to see your grandson, you don't have to think about the donkey pulling these things for so long, these things can be bought in the town. ”
After hearing Jian Xiao's words, Old Man Li said with disdain: "You know what a fart, the food that my grandson eats must be eaten by his grandfather and me, and the food he grows himself is delicious without money, and the food bought outside doesn't need money, I don't know if it's delicious or not." ”
Jian Xiao didn't reply when she heard this, but just smiled. When Lao Li Tou's son went home to visit Lao Li Tou, he drank wine with Jian Xiao, and often said Lao Li Tou's words when he drank, every time he went to see his grandson, he would bring these grains, and every time he brought them, he couldn't eat them and rotted them, and his son also wanted to take Lao Li Tou and his daughter-in-law to live in the town, Lao Li Tou really refused to live or die, and insisted on dying in this small village, saying that the life in the town was not as good as the days of this small mountain village, and also said that people should die and return to their roots, in fact, they wanted to guard a few acres of fertile land and plant some food every month when they went to see their grandson.
Jian Xiao didn't think about persuading Lao Li Tou since then, but every time Lao Li Tou wanted to go to see his grandson, he would bring so many things, and he would say a sentence or two, which made him think about the old donkey pulling so many things and walking so far.
After a while, everything was loaded into the car, Wu You patted the dust in his hands, Lao Li Tou sat in front of him and prepared to drive the donkey, so he beckoned Wu You to hurry up and get into the car, don't grind and chirp, Wu You sat sideways in the back of the donkey cart, with his back against a pile of grain, and Lao Li Tou held the rope in both hands and slapped the donkey's body down.
The donkey walked forward with old steps, Wu You saw that Jian Xiao and his wife had returned to the courtyard, and talked with Lao Li Tou, Lao Li Tou talked about the prosperity of the town, the dress of the rich children, and more of his son opened a shop in the town to sit in the tailor business, specializing in those luxurious brocade clothes. From time to time, he asked Wu Xianqian what he was doing, and Wu You talked about the days of studying at the academy.
The donkey cart went farther and farther, Wu You sat behind the donkey cart, his hands crossed behind his head, his body swayed and his feet hung in the air, holding an unknown grass in his mouth, and the summer cicada was firmly on Wu You's shoulder, Wu Youan quietly looked at the eagle in the sky with wings flying high and didn't know what he was thinking.
