Mountain People

    "I woke you up." Dong Chenghu felt a little guilty and wanted to hug Gu Shuixiu, but he was still very cold, so he had to hug Gu Shuixiu together with the quilt.

    Gu Shuixiu had been sleeping since the evening. She woke up full of energy and didn't feel sleepy at all, so she asked about the Gu family.

    "Mother-in-law made some nourishing food for you. I put it in the kitchen. By the way, when I went to the town to buy cloth today, I met the mayor. He said that it is chaos outside. Many people asked him about the fields, and they seemed to plan to buy them in remote places.

    The mayor asked us about the situation in the deep mountains. I am worried that someone will look at the land near us and say something that is unsafe in the deep mountains. I don’t know if anyone will really come to us. buy a mountain? "

    Gu Shuixiu was surprised at first, then understood, and then she laughed, seeing Dong Chenghu's frown, and comforting: "No, it is not easy for us to travel here, and it is not easy to get to the town. , not to mention going to the county seat or the county. And we have no news here, and there are not many people who see this place. At most, they buy mountains or farm fields on the periphery of the deep mountains, which has little impact on us. "

    Dong Chenghu felt a lot more at ease when he got Gu Shuixiu's words. Looking at the sleeping baby in the cradle, his heart was soft.

    Gu Shuixiu watched Dong Chenghu fall asleep, but she couldn't sleep, thinking about the current situation outside, although she hadn't seen it in person, she knew that it was a mess, what should her children do in the future , I can't be like Dong Chenghu being trapped in this small place all his life as a hunter.

    A man must go out to gain insight and live out his true self. It's just that it's so messy outside, and I don't know what it will be like when her child grows up?

    Just as Gu Shuixiu was wandering, Dong Yuanxu, the little baby, suddenly woke up crying, pulling Gu Shuixiu's thoughts back.

    Cuixi next door heard the child's cry and ran over.

    "Madam, the young master is probably hungry and needs milk."

    Gu Shuixiu skillfully lifted her jacket to feed the child, and finally stopped the child's crying. Dong Chenghu slept soundly throughout the whole process, but he was not affected at all.

    Cuixi is a servant, and it is difficult to evaluate the master, but Gu Shuixiu shook her head in disbelief, the child was crying like this, he could still sleep soundly!

      Most nourishing. There are also two black chickens.

    Gu Shuixiu was surprised when she saw the black-bone chicken. This black-bone chicken is not common in their side. I don't know where Zhao got these two chickens?

    "Cuixi, you can stew these two black-bone chickens with this date and longan later, and send one to the eldest sister." Gu Shuixiu was in a good mood because of the black-bone chicken, so she wanted to find another one. Time to go back and have a look, by the way, ask Zhao about this black chicken, and if you can, catch some and bring them back.

    Those cloths were also distributed by Gu Shuixiu, and now Cuixi helps with the housework, Gu Shuixiu's whole mind is on Dong Yuanxu.

    Dong Qingqing brought her younger brother and sister to read with Gu Shuixiu every day, and then played in the yard without running around, which made Dong Yunmei a lot of peace of mind, while Dong Yunmei made some clothes and the like Things to pass the time.

    On this day, after feeding Dong Yuanxu to sleep, Gu Shuixiu went to Dong Yunmei's house to look for her to sit. Seeing that she was still sitting on the edge of the window as usual, she sewed and mended, and she admired her heart. She is really a good wife and mother by the standards of this era. If she was allowed to sit like this every day, Gu Shuixiu would definitely go crazy.

    "Sister, you're still making clothes!"

    Dong Yunmei raised her head and chuckled: "A few children are growing fast, and these clothes are not enough, I put their sleeves aside, so that they can wear them for another year, anyway, the children are small, It's a waste to make them new clothes."

    "How can it be a waste!" Gu Shuixiu said in disapproval.

    "If the big one can't be worn, it can be given to the small one. When Junchi can't wear it, it can be given to Yuan Xu. It won't be wasted."

    Dong Yunmei thought about it, really, looked at Gu Shuixiu inquiringly, "Why don't you do it for them this year?"

    "Yeah!" Gu Shuixiu nodded heavily, "What must be done, our family is not short of that little money, and it can make the children happy."

    "When it comes to making clothes, alas! Our women's clothes are nothing, but men's clothes are really unbearable to wear. The clothes that Chenghu just made last year have broken a few holes this year. I usually use it for hunting, just sew it up. It's Qingsong brother, I saw a hole in the back of his clothes a while ago, and I didn't sew it up.

    There are women in this family and no women are the same! Look at Brother Qin Shan, after marrying Yue Yi, this looks different. He used to be sloppy, but now when he saw him, wasn't he neat and tidy? I was also fattened by Yueyi, tsk tsk tsk..."

    Gu Shuixiu said that Dong Yunmei could no longer listen. Zuo Qingsong was the only one left in her heart, and no one took care of his sadness.

    Gu Shuixiu stopped talking about Zuo Qingsong, and talked about spring ploughing instead.

    "I plan to plant another season of rice this spring, but it is not as large as last year. This time we will plant half of the lotus root."

    "Lotus root?" Dong Yunmei has never eaten or seen it. To be precise, lotus root is also available in this area, but not in Qingping Mountain. After she married into the Wu family, how could the Wu family be willing to spend money to buy it? Lotus root to eat? So poor Dong Yunmei was really unfamiliar with lotus root.

    Gu Shuixiu explained patiently: "I plan to plant a lotus root, and then harvest it to make lotus root powder. The harvested lotus seeds can also be used as medicinal herbs or dried and stored, and it is convenient to transport and sell. I have been thinking about this for a long time. I mentioned it to Cheng Hu before. He has no concept of these. Let me follow my heart. I think I should ask you what you mean.

    Do you have any ideas? Or have you ever wanted to plant something? Let's say we can add up. "

    Dong Yunmei shook her head solemnly, "If you and Chenghu hadn't disliked me and the children and stayed with us, we wouldn't know where we are now! You are the master of this family, what am I? No idea."

    Dong Yunmei is really grateful to Gu Shuixiu, Dong Chenghu is her younger brother, she was a child bride for them, so Dong Chenghu should take her in, but Gu Shuixiu is different.

    Three meals a day, goat's milk, rice porridge, rice, chicken, duck and fish, since she moved into Dong's house, she has never stopped eating, even if the rich people eat it.
