Cannon fodder also wants to live (through the book)

97 Chapter 97

Two more days passed and the weather was even warmer.

The grass and trees on the mountain have regained their vitality, and everyone in the village is busy preparing for house repairs.

Under such circumstances, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages came from the entrance of the village, crossed the village all the way, and reached the gate of Gu's house in the west of the village.

At that time, many people were busy building houses on the new foundation next to Gu's house, when they saw a carriage approaching.It's clear to me, this is the Gu family, which relative has arrived?

Not to mention the green shed carriage behind, but the pink carriage in front, with pink satin curtains, you can tell it's a charming guest at a glance.

The pink carriage entered the courtyard of the Gu family. A quarter of an hour later, more than a dozen carriages outside entered the courtyard in an orderly manner, unloaded their goods, and left.

But the pink carriage that entered first did not leave. In the afternoon, the village head knocked on the door of Gu's house again, and it was time to ask about the situation.

The pink carriage didn't leave Qingshan Village until the afternoon.

What kind of delicate guest it is, but everyone knows nothing, they are just a little curious.Zhang Caixuan also just stood at the intersection and looked at it for a long time, only thinking that it should be some kind of relative of the Gu family.

When it was getting dark, Hu Niuniang came to the door.

Recently, she has been busy chopping firewood and cleaning up the house. Huniu's father and elder brother are helping the Gu family build a house, "Caixuan, I know who that is."

With a look of emotion on his face.

Zhang Caixuan laughed, "Who?"

Hu Niuniang approached her and said in a low voice: "That is the fiancee of Mr. Gu's family. I heard that the marriage was arranged when she was in the Gu family. She is keeping a filial piety. Now that the filial piety period is about to expire, a good day will be picked soon." Time to get married."

"Today is mainly to give the dowry."

Zhang Caixuan was surprised, "Isn't it suitable?"

The date of the wedding has not been set yet, so where can there be a dowry?

Hu Niuniang shook her head, "I don't know. As Gu Shu said, if you give a dowry when you get married, it would be bad if someone finds out and robs you on the road."

It makes sense to say so.

No matter what the inside story is, anyway, Gu Shu said so to the outside world.

Hu Niuniang lamented the wealth of the carriage, and then lamented that such a deserted young man as Gu Yuejing was about to get married.

For such a long time, I have never seen Gu Yuejing's brother and sister mention their marriage. I thought it would go on like this, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, the marriages of both of them have been settled one after another.

Hu Niuniang talked for a long time, and at the end, she sighed again: "I don't know what kind of girl is worthy of Mr. Gu?"

Zhang Caixuan laughed, anyway, since Gu Yuejing clearly refused that time, the girls in the village didn't dare to join her.

Hu Niu Niang turned to talk about Hu Niu, her eyebrows and eyes were a little worried, "Our Hu Niu will be fourteen years old, and the marriage has not yet been settled. Recently, I am worried. You said that if you really marry her to me Didn't her mother's family, Li's Village, harm her?"

Zhang Caixuan just listened in silence and didn't speak. Hu Niuniang's concerns were indeed right, Lijia Village was indeed not as rich as Qingshan Village.

Let's put it this way, it's not uncommon for every family in Qingshan Village to eat coarse-grain steamed buns, but if you live in Lijia Village, you have to cover your mouth when eating steamed buns.If you eat steamed buns when everyone eats coarse grains, won’t you be hated by others?

Zhang Caixuan persuaded: "Huniu is still young, take your time."

It's true that she's still young, she just turned thirteen, but that's the case with all girls nowadays, if seventeen or eighteen is not engaged, then outsiders will look at her differently.I can't find any good marriage.

Hu Niuniang nodded, and said sincerely: "It would be great if I could stay in the village."

There are very few girls in Qingshan Village who have made plans for marriage in the past year, and most of them are unwilling to marry outside.

Soon, the Gu family reported that Gu Yuejing's wedding date was at the end of April, and there was still more than a month left.

Seriously speaking, if it was in the previous capital, the wedding date was set so urgently, the appointment would make people gossip.But in the current Qingshan Village, it seems that the wedding date is so urgent, it's nothing.The Gu family is preparing for the wedding, and Gu Shu and the two have been working more diligently in the town recently.

Soon it was April, and it was time for Hu Che and the two to sign the contract last year.

Qin Sulin went into the kitchen to cook early in the morning, Zhang Caixuan walked out of the house and heard a knock on the door, thinking it was Hu Che and the other two coming to get food, and walked slowly to open the door.

Sure enough, there were Hu Che and Hu Shui at the door.

Zhang Caixuan was a little surprised, because usually only one of them came to get food, but today both of them came.

After thinking about it for a while, she understood.

Zhang Caixuan looked at Hu Che and asked, "The day of the contract has come, right?"

Hu Che nodded, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, took what Hu Shui handed over, and handed it to Zhang Caixuan together.

"Madam, take a look."

Although Zhang Caixuan didn't know the exact date, it was almost the same these days anyway, the two of them had indeed helped them with a lot of work in the past year, especially the firewood at her house, which made people happy to see.

She didn't even think about embarrassing them, so she just smiled and said: "When the day comes, this contract will not count, you can leave if you want."

Hu Shui was full of frustration, and couldn't help but said: "Madam, we are still willing to help your family with work."

Zhang Caixuan was startled, then smiled.

She only feeds the two of them, and sometimes gives them a handful of flour. It sounds like a very generous host, but she didn't pay them any money this year.If they are really hired as long-term workers, they still have to pay wages, so I couldn't help asking: "Is it okay to not need wages?"

The Gu family hired two catties of food a day, even if the workers ate one catty, they could still save another catty.Hu Che and the others couldn't finish two catties of grain every day.

Of course, they were atonement for their sins in the past year, and it is inevitable that they will suffer, otherwise Zhang Caixuan might as well go outside to hire someone, why bother to support them?

The look of anticipation on Hu Shui's face was undisguised, and he said happily: "No wages, it's the same as before, just give us so much food."

Zhang Caixuan was really surprised this time.

The wages of the Gu family next door can be seen. When they go out, they only need to go to Hu Che's aunt's house to find a place to live, and come to work every day. When the house is built, they can also save some food. Break out of the current predicament.

Qin Sulin heard the movement and came out of the kitchen, just in time to hear Hu Shui's words.He said solemnly: "Looking at your age, it's time to talk about marriage. If you stay in our house just to earn food and clothing, and don't even have a piece of cloth to make new clothes, what will happen to the future marriage?"

Hu Shui froze for a moment, then fell silent.

Seeing Hu Shui's silence, Qin Surin raised his hand to close the door, "Let's go, make a good plan."

The door was blocked by a big rough hand when there was only one gap, "I want to stay."

— Hu Che.

Qin Surin opened the door again, this time he was a little surprised, "Don't you want to deposit money to say kiss?"

Hu Che smiled wryly, "After going out, where will I deposit my money?"

Zhang Caixuan couldn't help but said: "Last winter, you also helped us serve the greenhouse for so long. If you go back and build two by yourself, it will be no problem to support yourself."

It's not impossible to be diligent and save some food to say goodbye.

Hu Che didn't let go of the hand holding the door, and said in a low voice, "I can't."

Qin Sulin raised his eyebrows to look at him, Hu Che let go, "I've thought about it, I'm too lazy, if no one forces me, I can't do the job. Boss, you can keep me, just give me Just eat your fill."

Zhang Caixuan and Qin Surin looked at each other, and Qin Surin looked at Hu Shui who was a little dazed aside, "What about you?"

Hu Shui was a little at a loss, looked at Hu Che, "Hu Che, you..."

He lowered his head, a little frustrated, "I have to go home and have a look."

Hu Shui is different from Hu Che. Hu Che's family only has his uncle's family who treats him sweetly and bitterly, but Hu Shuike also has parents in his family.

,all in

Qin Surin nodded, "Then you can go."

Hu Shui nodded, but he didn't feel happy. Sometimes when he was too tired on the mountain, he would think that after waiting for a year, he would leave.

Later, he was really reluctant to part with the warm house, but when he thought about it...

If you stay here, you can indeed eat and dress warmly, but there is no future.

Hu Shui packed a simple package and left that day, while Hu Che stayed behind. Zhang Caixuan gave him food as before. Qin Sulin said that if he had time to sign a new contract with the village chief, he would still have to pay his wages. , I hired a long-term worker at home.

When Hu Che stayed, it was no different from before. He still went up the mountain to cut firewood every day. If he had nothing to do, he usually didn't come to their yard.

It's April, and Zhang Caixuan's belly is getting bigger and bigger. Qin Sulin still takes her out for a walk every day. Not only the doctor said to walk more, but even the stable woman they found in the village said to move more. move.

The weather was warm, and Zhang Caixuan and Qin Sulin occasionally went to the bamboo forest behind to look at the bamboo shoots, which had already grown.

Because it was close to home, the two simply went to pull it out together. Of course, she just watched from the sidelines and pulled out two roadsides, mainly Qin Surin.

There is also the bamboo forest on the side of Wo Niu Po, which should have grown by now, but Zhang Caixuan has a big belly now, so it is impossible to climb the mountain to pull out any bamboo shoots.

Everyone in the village was busy, but Yang Xuan'er didn't go out. This year, I don't see her wandering around the mountains to collect medicinal materials.

Zhang Caixuan was even more sure that she was going for Tan Gui.Tan Guinian hadn't been here since. If he hadn't thought of this, Zhang Caixuan would have forgotten this person.

As for what Guan Yu said back then, Yang Xuan'er helped her find out about her in-law's family, but she never saw any clues.

Thinking that within two days of Tan Gui, he came here in a carriage.

If he hadn't seen the carriage, really, Zhang Caixuan would have thought that he would not be coming.

In Qingshan Village, only the method of growing vegetables in the greenhouse will make him value. As for the others, Xuan'er may be the only one that impresses him deeply.He has already bought the method of growing vegetables in a greenhouse, and Yang Xuan'er can't avoid it, so what else is there to do?

Tan Gui came straight to Qin's house, just after breakfast when he came, Zhang Caixuan was about to lock the door and go out for a walk, when he saw his carriage arrive at the west of the village from a distance, Qin Surin and she didn't move.

If it really came to them, wouldn't they have to go back?

Seeing the carriage gradually approaching, Zhang Caixuan was glad to move.

But what is he doing again?
