Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

The carriage stopped at Zhuangzikou, and Qu Jingxi and her sister jumped out of the carriage and rushed towards the shed, "Sir, let's go play!"

Li Baolu simply jumped out of the carriage, "We won't be entering the villa anymore, let's go to see the shed."

Gu Jingyun asked Erlin to drive in, took Baolu's hand and followed Qu Weizhen and his brother.

It had just snowed heavily two days ago, so there was still white snow on the ground. There were only rows of greenhouses standing not far from the vast land, and the rest of the place was completely white.

"Uncle!" Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi saluted Fu Dalang respectfully.

Fu Dalang in the shed was startled, and hurried out, "Why are you here?" After speaking, he found Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu who were walking towards this side. He quickly wiped the sweat off his face and went into the shed to put on cotton clothes to meet them.

"cousin."

Li Baolu saluted with a smile, "What is cousin doing?"

"There's some grass growing in the shed, and I'm weeding it," Fu Dalang said with some embarrassment, "I didn't know you and my brother-in-law were here, otherwise I would have gone out to pick you up."

"I'm not an outsider, why do I need you to pick it up?" Li Baolu followed him into the greenhouse, saw the green inside, and nodded in satisfaction, "This year's greenhouse vegetables are even better than previous years. Cousin is really good at planting."

Fu Dalang's eyes brightened slightly, and he said with a blushing face, "It's the same wherever you farm, as long as you adapt to the climate."

Seeing Gu Jingyun unbuttoning the cloak on his body, he hurriedly said: "The smell in the shed is not very good, you better not stay here, tell me what you want to eat, and I will pick it for you."

Gu Jingyun said with a slight smile: "Cousin, don't be so careful, Baolu and I have both planted things in the field."

Fu Dalang just smiled and didn't insist anymore. He was struggling in exile, and he really didn't care.

Gu Jingyun hung the cloak on the wooden nails at the entrance of the shed, and then led the crowd in.

There are two greenhouses in total, each of which is only about two acres. This was expanded because of the help of Fu Dalang this year. It used to be only half of what it is now.

Each shed has two shed openings, which can only allow one person to enter and exit, and the rest of the place is completely closed. The air inside is indeed not very good, but the temperature is much higher than that outside, and the vegetables are growing better than in previous years. There are more than a dozen small cucumbers hanging on the melon seedling shelf. Gu Jingyun looked at it and nodded slightly Said: "Although it is smaller than the current season, it is more energetic than the ones sold outside."

Fu Dalang explained: "Occasionally, I would bring the red-hot stove here to raise the temperature of the shed, otherwise many people would freeze to death after the heavy snowfall a few days ago."

Their greenhouses are all built with oilcloth, and the sun can’t penetrate during the day. In order to let them shine in the sun, the roof is tied with slipknots. As long as the sun is good, they will lift the roof at noon when the sun is the best. Let the sun shine in.

No way, they really don't have the money to use glass to make the roof, so they can only consume manpower. Fortunately, the people in Dongzhuangzi are free as soon as they enter Dongzhuangzi, so it is no problem to take care of the two greenhouses.

Basically, the vegetables they eat every day come from here.

Moreover, the price of oilcloth is not cheap, at least the current income is difficult to offset the cost. Fu Dalang doesn't understand why they waste so much oilcloth to grow vegetables, and how much the oilcloth costs each year.

In order not to lose money, Fu Dalang can only find a way to increase the income of vegetables in the greenhouse, at least not to lose too much.

After walking through the two greenhouses, several people rolled up their sleeves to work. Both Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu have done farm work and worked in the fields, not to mention Qu Weizhen, who has had to help in the vegetable garden since she learned to walk. up.

Qu Jingxi didn't do it himself, but he read a lot, so he got started quickly.

When Zhuangtou brought his people in a hurry, he saw everyone squatting in the field pulling weeds with their sleeves rolled up. He was shocked and knelt on the ground with a "thump", "Master, madam, the little one is late to greet you, Please punish the master and wife."

Gu Jingyun ignored him and just lowered his head to pull weeds.

Qu Weizhen looked at the indifferent teacher, then at the expressionless teacher, and decisively pulled her younger brother to continue working.

Fu Dalang hesitated to speak, but seeing Li Baolu shook his head slightly at him, he could only lower his head and continue working.

Zhuangtou trembled, and the people brought behind him also bowed their heads and knelt down, living like a year.

Because they came running here, the temperature inside the shed was higher than outside, and the group of people were sweating constantly on their foreheads, looking very embarrassed.

It wasn't until all the weeds in this area were removed that Gu Jingyun got up and looked at the head of the village, and said with a smile: "Since you are here, go pick some vegetables and make lunch at noon."

Zhuangtou responded with a trembling voice, bowed his waist and got up to pick vegetables. He sneaked a glance at Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu, and cautiously stepped forward to ask Fu Dalang for advice, went to pick several vegetables, and then followed Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu to the Zhuangzi in cold sweat.

As if nothing had happened just now, Gu Jingyun cleaned his hands, dried them, put on his cloak, turned around and said with a smile to Fu Dalang, "Cousin, let's go, it's getting late, and it will take some time before we go back to make lunch."

Although Fu Dalang was ignorant and didn't understand what happened, he knew that he was right to listen to his cousin and brother-in-law, so he agreed with a silly smile and turned to pick up the vegetable basket.

Zhuangtou didn't dare to ask him to mention it, he bowed his waist to indicate that he would come, and respectfully sent the group to the main courtyard.

This house was built by the Zhongyonghou Mansion. It was originally intended for the masters to live in when they came to Zhuangzi to relax. Unfortunately, there is no good view here, so it has been vacant. Li Baolu brought Qu Jingxi and the others to live in it, and now it is lived by Fu Dalang.

But instead of living in the main house, he lived in the East Wing.

After Fu Dalang and Li Baolu returned to Beijing, they lived in Gu's mansion for a while, because he couldn't be free, so Li Baolu let him come to the farm after burying the ancestors of the Fu family.

At that time, the autumn harvest had just ended, and it was the slack season, and Fu Dalang had nothing to do in the village. Li Baolu was afraid that he would be too idle to think about it, so he entrusted him with the vegetables in the greenhouse.

Today, seeing him busy in the shed alone, she knew that he was excluded and isolated, but Fu Dalang obviously didn't take it to heart, or he didn't notice the abnormality at all.

Because he has been isolated since he was a child, he is used to being alone. So I don't feel like I'm being neglected.

But Li Baolu sent him here to let him integrate into society and learn to communicate with others.

Zhuangtou caught a chicken for Fu Dalang, and he was sweating profusely in the kitchen cooking. He really wanted to ask Fu Dalang to say something nice in front of the old man and his wife, but when he saw that the other party was so stupid, he just focused on killing the chicken and doing the work. He could only swallow the words.

He wiped his sweat and turned his head, but saw his wife was looking at them in the yard. He was startled, and he didn't dare to ask Fu Dalang to intercede for him.

Gu Jingyun was sitting in the main room looking through the books brought by the two young disciples. Seeing Baolu frowning, he patted the heads of the two young disciples with the book, "Go and help in the kitchen. You can't let the elders serve you."

Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi immediately ran to the kitchen to help, and the chattering voices of the two children soon came from the kitchen. Occasionally, Fu Dalang's answer could be heard, and even Zhuangtou interjected a few words.

Gu Jingyun raised his eyebrows and smiled at Li Baolu: "How?"

Li Baolu stretched his brows, gave a thumbs up and said, "You are amazing."

"If you are worried, let Weizhen and Jingxi come to the farm from time to time to play in the past few days, and let them work in the fields, don't forget the basics." The most important thing is not to disturb them by hanging around them all the time.

Li Baolu thought for a while before agreeing, so after completing the tasks of reading and writing every day, Weizhen and Jingxi were driven by Erlin to the farm and handed over to Fu Dalang, who took them to weed and fertilize the vegetable garden. Soil, because of the increase in labor force, both of them eat more.

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu visited the hot spring courtyard, played chess and piano every day, and occasionally held hands and walked up the mountain path. They lived happily.

If it wasn't for New Year's Eve, they really didn't want to go home.

On the morning of the New Year's Eve, everyone started to pack their luggage and leave. The carriage went around to Zhuangzi to pick up Fu Dalang, and returned to the capital with two baskets of vegetables.

Li Baolu and Fu Dalang explained: "Brother Jingyun and I are going to the palace to attend the palace banquet tonight, but we will be back soon. After you and Zigui have eaten the New Year's Eve dinner, wait for us to watch the night with you when we come back."

It was the first time for Fu Dalang to celebrate the New Year with so many people when he was so old, and he nodded nervously.

The Gu family was full of joy, Li Baolu let out a "huh" and looked at the smiling Zhao Ning, "Is there a happy event for Zigui?"

Zhao Ning laughed so hard that he could barely see his eyes, "Master, Yuan Niang is pregnant, and I'm going to be a father soon, hahaha..."

Li Baolu was slightly surprised, but then also became happy, "This is a good thing, when did you know?"

"Just now!" Zhao Ning said with a foolish smile on his face, "I just sent the doctor away. If Mistress doesn't believe me, I'll invite him back."

Li Baolu was stunned, she didn't say she didn't believe it.

Seeing that his apprentice was so stupid, Gu Jingyun rolled his eyes rather speechlessly, and waved his hands: "Okay, you can go back and accompany your wife." Don't be an eyesore here.

Zhao Ning immediately turned around and ran after hearing the words, "I just forgot to pick you up, and I haven't told Yuan Niang not to come out yet, there is still ice and snow on the ground outside, so don't slip."

Gu Jingyun looked at the back of the big apprentice who disappeared very sadly, "Can he really enter the examination room like this?"

Li Baolu hesitated and said: "It should be fine, there is still more than a month before entering the arena, he should be able to regain his composure."

Zhao Ning became a father for the first time in his life, so he was a little excited, but he soon came to his senses and devoted himself to studying with greater enthusiasm.

In his words, he wants to give his future son or daughter a great gift—to pass the Jinshi exam!

His level of diligence directly made the nine people in the same class feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. They no longer cared about being in the middle of the year, and started visiting Gu Jingyun with books in their hands after the second year of junior high school to ask Gu Jingyun various questions.

Seeing that they came frequently, Gu Jingyun didn't bother to set up door control, and just asked them to come to Gu's mansion to study every day. He tidied up a room in Shi'an Yuan, put blankets and mats inside, and put a few low tables It became a classroom.

They study by themselves, and if they have any doubts, they discuss it first, and if they can't solve it, they go to the study at the back to find him.

This saves them the time of running back and forth, and increases the learning time a lot.
