Chapter 63： Mowing

When Gu Yao returned home with a cart of books, she was in a great mood, her face flushed and joyous.

Looking at the pile of books, Qin Lingling asked: "Where did you borrow so many books?"

"One of my classmates happened to be home, so I borrowed it."

Seeing her blushing face, Qin Lingling asked, "A male student or a female student?"

Gu Yao was stunned, then smiled and answered, "Of course it's a female classmate!"

Qin Lingling didn't believe it.

Gu Yao changed her words and said, "It's a male classmate, a very good classmate, from Jiangjia Village not far away. He works as the secretary of the brigade. He doesn't love school, he likes to play, and he likes to fight. He doesn't have much to do with these books. Learning, new work."

Qin Lingling could see it.

Picking up a book, flipping through it, six words were written on it: Your uncle Jiang Xiaoben.

Qin Lingling asked: "His name is Jiang Xiaoben?"

"Well, how does my sister-in-law know?"

Qin Lingling handed him the book with six bold characters on it.

Gu Yao was shocked by those big characters, and said with a dry smile: "Sister-in-law, he is like this, he doesn't learn well, and usually likes to tell people that I am your uncle."

With that said, Gu Yao remembered many good times when she was studying.

She actually did not spend a long time studying with Jiang Xiaoben, unlike Xiuxiu.

However, Jiang Xiaoben did not forget their old friendship, and often brought Xiuxiu to see her to play, but Xiuxiu's family moved to the city.

"Sister-in-law, do you want these books to review your knowledge?" Gu Yao asked.

She knew that her knowledge contact hadn't yet learned the knowledge of the second year of high school.

Qin Lingling nodded and said to the sister-in-law a little bit of wind, and said: "I have a hunch that life in our country is getting better and better. I suspect that the college entrance examination will be resumed soon. I think I can save it. Take the college entrance examination."

"College entrance examination? Sister-in-law, do you think you can really resume the college entrance examination?" Gu Yao didn't believe it.

Moreover, even if the college entrance examination is true, it is of no use to her.

Qin Lingling nodded, "I feel it myself. My sixth sense is quite accurate. Maybe it will really recover. After all, there was a college entrance examination in the early years."

"But sister-in-law, what if it doesn't?"

"If you don't have it, you can use it to consolidate your knowledge and learn more. Maybe you can transfer to a junior high school to teach in the future, don't you think?"

"You are right."

"So you also learn for me, in case there really is such a day, you have to take the exam."

"okay."

"Then tell me first about your classmate Jiang Xiaoben."

"..."

…

There was a lot of rain during the Qingming Festival, and not long after the start of this year, several major events occurred. The small villages in the south, after a long period of transmission, quickly received various news.

Villagers who are busy with spring planting like to sit under the tree heads in the village and discuss recent events in the country.

Although these people may not be the ones who shake the entire country, and even they are very small, everyone still likes to talk about this national event.

Qin Lingling passed by and heard many villagers discussing lively there.

Qin Lingling knew about these things a long time ago, and even knew that several important things would happen next, so she didn't linger.

Today, she came back from cutting a few bamboos from the mountain, planning to enclose the small area at the door with bamboo, and by the way, change the environment for the chickens who have grown up slowly.

It's not easy to get in the mountains, so she carried all the bamboo back home. This was the last one.

There is no man in the family, and Qin Lingling has to do everything herself.

Fortunately, she feels that she is not the kind of lady who doesn't touch the sun with all her fingers, and she has been in this world for more than half a year, so she can do a lot of things, and she still looks decent.

Gu Yao is not at home today. She went to weed the field. The field that was planted in the new year now has weeds. Gu Yao usually has to go to work, and it takes her time to get busy. Qin Lingling can only take advantage of it. I have time to do this when I go home after class.

Putting down the bamboo, Qin Lingling sawed each bamboo into the same length, then cut the bamboo strips, and then cut off the bamboo pieces one by one.

Qin Lingling asked an uncle in the village to help weave the fence before. At that time, she hadn't started spring planting, but she had time to help.

But now everyone is busy, and Qin Lingling can't ask others for help anymore, so she can only do it herself.

Stripping is a technical task. It is easier to cut the bamboo poles into slices. One bamboo tube can cut into four petals, and then flatten the protruding knots one by one. But thin and long bamboo strips are not so easy.

At first, Qin Lingling had been cutting off, and she had just opened her head, and when she was doing it carefully, she always cut off the bamboo pieces.

She tried several times without success.

Gu Dashun, who was not far away, came back. Not far away, he could see the eldest daughter-in-law busy cutting the sticks.

In this way, everyone in their village surrounded by bamboo has such a skill, including Gu Dashun.

He was smoking a cigarette, looked around, thinking that his eldest daughter-in-law might not have learned how to cut the sticks!

He wanted to do a favor, but he thought that the two families would be like this. He ran over and they might not take care of him.

Gu Dashun chose to use the past to remind him of the battle between heaven and man for a long time in his mind.

But this foot had just walked two steps, but was stopped by Li Dani who came.

"Why are you going?" Li Dani asked.

Gu Dashun pointed to Qin Lingling's direction, "Shanzi's daughter-in-law doesn't cut the sticks, I'll tell her."

"What do you mean, isn't it patience? What do you want us to help? This Chinese New Year didn't give our family a penny. This has to be cut off with us. You still care about them. Let them be able to bear it, how can we help? "

Li Dani was right, Gu Dashun looked embarrassed, but in the end he went back to the house.

If possible, Gu Zheng would be willing to sever ties with their family of four. As for Qin Lingling, she even thought about it.

Seeing the cheap father-in-law who was pulled in by Li Dani, Qin Lingling only sneered.

Even if she knew nothing, she wouldn't ask them for help.

She does not know how to cut the sticks, so after breaking a few sticks, she decided to take the bamboo sticks to find someone who knows how to weave for help.

Before Qin Lingling could go far, someone just came here.

"Is it Shanzi's wife?"

I saw that the person who came was Gu Dashun's second uncle, and Qin Lingling called the second uncle. It was the second uncle that Gu Yao had done a year ago to help.

During the Chinese New Year this year, Qin Lingling and Gu Zheng also visited the old man and bought something. The old man was very happy.

When Qin Lingling met him up and down, she would also call the second uncle, so she had met him a few times and became familiar with it.

After meeting with someone, Qin Lingling hurriedly shouted: "Er Uncle, why are you here?"

"Just about to turn around, I can talk to Dashun about something, eh, what are you doing with this bamboo?"

Qin Lingling was embarrassed to say, lowering her head.

The old man smiled and said, "I'm embarrassed to tell Uncle Gong, let's talk about it!"

Seeing that the other party had said so, Qin Lingling didn't have a good idea. She said that she can't cut strips and wanted to find someone to teach her. She taught herself to weave a fence and raise chickens.

The old man gave a "Hi" and laughed: "This is you looking for me, I'm good at it!"

"Huh? Second Uncle, you..."

"Why, look down on my old thing?"

Qin Lingling waved her hand quickly, "I just don't want to trouble you, you are so old, what if you are tired?"

"Not tired!" The old man said like Hong Zhong.

Maybe the mentality is very good, the old man is in his 70s this year, but he is still very healthy.

He hurriedly waved, "Come here, take it in, I'll cut the sticks for you, this little Gu Village, I dare to say that I will cut the sticks the second time, no one dares to say the first."

The father's boasting ability makes Qin Lingling beyond reach.

However, people of this age rely on their hands for everything, and it is not surprising that the Second Uncle’s Guild has some craftsmanship.

It's just that the old man is not too young, she doesn't want to trouble people. But the second uncle was obviously idle. Seeing that there was such a thing to help, he hurriedly took his upper body, "Come on, I'll help you, and give me the knife."

"okay."

The two were talking, and Gu Dashun heard the voice again.

Seeing my second uncle standing there, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Second uncle, why are you here?"

The old man's long eyebrows were raised slightly, and he said in disgust, "Why, I'm impatient, right?"

Gu Dashun waved his hand quickly, "No, no, don't get me wrong, Second Uncle."

"Hmph, I think you are afraid that I will go to your door, and hide every time I see me. Am I a tiger?"

Gu Dashun repeatedly said no, and then asked the second uncle, "Is there anything wrong with your second uncle who came here today?"

"Can't you come here if you are okay?" He said, waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, stand next to you, and go as long as you have things. I'm busy now."

Gu Dashun had been afraid of this second uncle since he was a child, and he would retreat tremblingly to watch the old man perform the sword.

Instead, he went forward to do meritorious service and helped, "Second Uncle, do you want me to come?"

But he didn't come to the front, the old man stared at him, "Okay, don't need you, I'll call Shanzi's wife, you go aside!"

"Eh, good."

Looking at Gu Dashun like a grandson, he obeyed the old man's words, even Li Dani, who is always fanning the wind and getting eye drops and licking his mouth, will see that it is the second uncle and dare not move forward. I am afraid of being caught by this old man. Scolded again.

The old man put the knife in his hand back to the left. Seeing the sharpness of the grinding, he nodded. Then he picked up the other bamboos that hadn't been cut open. Finally, he put a small piece of bamboo against the blade. The bamboo is evenly divided into eight slender bamboo strips.

Qin Lingling watched from the side, feeling that the hand of the old man seemed to be fused with the knife, and the knife fell quickly and skillfully.

Putting down the eight pieces of slender bamboo strips, the old man looked at Qin Lingling proudly, "Have you seen it? This is the bamboo strip. Let me tell you, the ones you just cut have a wide head and a thin tail. By accident, it was broken before Takeo, do you know why?"

Qin Lingling shook her head.

The old man handed out the bamboo piece sticking to the blade, "I see it, this is missing, this one is for controlling the size of the bamboo piece, this knife doesn't have eyes, it needs this piece of bamboo to control it."’’

Gu Dashun on the side looked at it for a while and saw Er Uncle teaching his daughter-in-law, he nodded and responded: "Yes, yes, you are missing a bamboo pad. If you don't pad it, it's easy to crook, but The second uncle is great, he actually doesn't need to be cushioned."

As soon as Gu Dashun finished speaking, Er Uncle's sharp eyes glared at him, "I teach this child, do you have a place for you to speak? If there is nothing to do, just go and do your business. I'm still watching here, waiting for me to be busy. I'll look for you again."

Gu Dashun felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say a rebuttal. He laughed and said good, and then left.

Of course, Li Dani inside the room noticed the movement outside. Upon seeing this, she said angrily to her husband's back in a low voice, "Counsel!"

"Mom, don't you bother?" Gu Guoqiang didn't know when he was in the house, and he said with a smile when he saw his mother secretly looking outside at the door.

To say that the person his mother is most afraid of is the second uncle. Every time he comes, his mother retreats, but is scared. Sometimes when Gu Guoqiang is scolded, he also likes to use the second uncle to anger each other.

Hearing her son joke about herself, Li Dani picked up the broom beside her and patted Gu Guoqiang directly. Gu Guoqiang was scared and quickly avoided.

In the next room, there was a flying dog. The second uncle here grabbed the ferocity to his nephew Gu Dashun just now, restored a kind smile, and said to Qin Lingling: "Come on, Uncle now teaches you how to cut out the bamboo sac in one fell swoop. "

After the old man finished speaking, he flicked and dropped the knife again, and saw that the slender pieces of bamboo skin were shaved off.

Qin Lingling picked it up and carefully compared her own and her father's.

"Second Uncle, you are really amazing."

The old man is often praised, and Qin Lingling just smiled when he said this, "These are the basic skills of cutting bamboo, the simplest, this weaving is the most difficult, what kind of baskets, baskets, and all kinds of baskets. Chairs and stools are a lot of things, but it’s not difficult for you to learn to weave a fence."

With the help of the old man, the bamboo that Qin Lingling cut back was quickly cut off, just waiting to weave the fence.

In the middle, Qin Lingling also followed Er Bogong for a meeting. Although it was not a matter of cutting the bamboo strips quickly, she at least found the trick.

The old man also praised her, "A very clever boy, he needs to learn more, he will get started after a long time."

Qin Lingling nodded, very grateful for the help of her father, "Thank you, second uncle."

"No thanks, no thanks, Shanzi is not at home, I should have come to see your child more."

"It should be that I visit the second uncle more often. You are an elder."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine."

The two exchanged a few words, and then the second uncle got up to talk to his nephew.

Seeing that the old man still straightened his back despite his old age, Qin Lingling couldn't help but shouted, "Second uncle."

"Huh? Something else?"

Qin Lingling stepped forward two steps, "Er Uncle, can I ask you how to weave basket chairs in the future?"

"Okay! I'm worried about no one to teach."

The old man doesn't need to go to work when he is old, and his grandchildren are no longer young, and he doesn't need to worry about him. He is worried that his life is too ordinary.

Qin Lingling did not expect that the second uncle would agree to it without even thinking about it, and she was delighted, "Thank you second uncle."

"No thanks, no thanks, it's just a small matter, and it's not troublesome."

With the help of the second uncle, Qin Lingling felt that she was going to the pinnacle of her life.

When the second uncle left, Qin Lingling took a piece of dried bacon from the house to the elderly.

At first, the old man killed him and said, "I will help a little bit, why do I still need to accept your stuff? Do you make me dare to teach you next time?"

Qin Lingling smiled and said: "Er Uncle, this is my respect for you. It has nothing to do with today's matter. In fact, it is mainly because there are still a lot of meat in the house during the Chinese New Year. The weather is slowly getting wet. , Yaoyao and I can’t finish eating. It’s not that you are here. Let’s help you eat. Besides, I’m going to trouble you for a while, just as I am buying your things."

The child has a sweet mouth and can talk, and the old man feels comfortable listening to it.

This meat is indeed not too much, and it is precisely because of this that the second uncle, after thinking about it, decided to accept it.

"Alright, I'll accept this meat, but I won't be allowed to do this in the future. Shanzi is not at home, but you two children. I should help take care of you two young children. How can I take your things."

"That's all right, next time I promise I won't take anything for you. If you take it, I will give it to you."

The old man glared his eyes, his benevolent face was full of smiles, "Is there anything I don't want? Okay, I'm going back, you are busy!"

"it is good."

After the second uncle left, Qin Lingling would start weaving the fence.

The bamboo slices are all one meter high. This is the easiest one, so Qin Lingling cuts and organizes it by herself.

She first arranged the position of the bamboo slices, and then prepared the bamboo strips, twisted them slightly in the middle, and interspersed them with the arranged bamboo slices.

The first step is the most important. It is necessary to fix the distance between the bamboo strips and the bamboo strips so that it will not become loose.

In fact, it was the first time that she had made these things. It was so convenient to look at other people's chicken fences, so she wanted to make one when it looked simple.

For the first time of fixing, Qin Lingling wasted a lot of energy, and even twisted and twisted her hands and feet for a long time.

However, after fixing it, it is much more convenient. You only need to fix the bamboo strips one by one with the bamboo strips woven on it.

These things don't require too many skills, so Qin Lingling can knit quickly after fixing it.

But in the end, the sun has already started to sway westward after finishing his work.

Looking at the fence woven for the first time in her life, Qin Lingling was very proud.

After replacing the small fence, Qin Lingling lived in a big house for the chickens today.

After all these things, it’s not too early to see the weather, and Qin Lingling will go to the vegetable garden to water and prepare dinner.

The small vegetable garden has now expanded a bit. Although the expanded area is a little barren, Qin Lingling is very clever. He dug a lot of humus soil from the mountains, including pine needle soil and longan leaves.

These humus soils are not only fertile, but can also loosen the clay and make it easy to drain when it rains. For these southern places, draining is simply a heavy project.

In the south, it is easiest to grow vegetables in autumn and winter, because there is little rain and the temperature is not high. After the rain, the soil will not accumulate water, and the temperature is too high to evaporate, causing the vegetables to be prone to rot.

Therefore, growing vegetables in spring and summer is the most difficult.

And this difficult thing, but because Qin Lingling planted a higher terrain, coupled with the adjustment of humus soil, the land became very suitable for growing vegetables.

There are many rivers in the village. Qin Lingling brought a bucket to the vegetable field, scooped it up directly, and could water it nearby. When she returned home, she also picked leeks and purple back vegetables planted on high piers.

Chives and purple-backed vegetables are both eaten all year round in case, and they are very cheap. They are not afraid of rain or drought. But purple-backed vegetables have a characteristic, that is, when they are old, they will smell like houttuynia cordata. The taste of it, so she usually picks it off when she sees the tenderness.

When he got home, Gu Yao hadn't come back yet. After leaving work, she probably went to work on her own plot again.

Now as the spring equinox passes, the sun goes down later and later, and the farmers return home later.

The most important thing is that after spring ploughing, when the grain is not in the flowering season and the grain is still young, it is the busiest. It is necessary to pull the grass, especially the spring head. The vitality of this grass is simply scary.

In this era, there are not so many pesticides for weeding. The villagers only rely on one pair of hands, pull the weeds by hand, bring a small pointed stick, or a small knife. I think it’s more convenient to use a roller-like farm tool with a piece of iron on it. People standing on the ground and gently rolling the grass can be cut down, but this has a disadvantage, that is, the grass cannot be cut. Uprooted.

When Gu Yao is not at home, Qin Lingling will have to do everything herself. Fortunately, there are only two of them, making it easier to eat and live.

After she picked the vegetables and went home, she first chopped old vegetable leaves into fine pieces, fed them, and squeezed them. Then, she steamed the sweet potato sprouts that were dried last year and threw them in the pigsty.

At the same time, set up a firewood in the pot so that all that is left is to wash the vegetables and cook.

When Gu Yao came back, Qin Lingling had already fried the purple back vegetables. At this time, the garlic at home was gone, only the garlic sprouts, so she used two small garlic sprouts to finely chop them and fry them. The taste was also fragrant.

"Sister-in-law, I'm back!"

Outside Gu Yao put down the back basket, with the pig grass she cut back on it, and planned to feed it to the pigs tomorrow.

As the piglets grow up, they will use more and more hogweed, so when she leaves work every day, she will bring hogweed back, and eat the hogweed that is finished, and dry it if she can't finish it. Save it for next time. When she is not free someday, the piglets will also have pig grass to eat.

"I'm back?" Qin Lingling came out, patted the water in her hand, "Why is it late today?"

Gu Yao pointed to the pigweed, "Well, I found that there is still a lot of pigweed in a place today, so I don't want to cut more. Hey, I will go tomorrow. I will cut it back early so that no one can see it."

Qin Lingling couldn't laugh or cry, "This pigweed grows very quickly, and it can grow a lot after tomorrow."

Speaking of mowing pigweed, Qin Lingling said: "Tomorrow I am going to go up the mountain to mow bony grass and come back and burn it. There is not much firewood at home."

At this time, the firewood and hay that every family had hoarded last year would have been burned out. It will soon be a rainy spring. She wants to take advantage of the rain that hasn't fallen, so she should cut more grass and put it away, otherwise it will rain. The two aunts don’t need to take a shower to cook.

Hearing the sound, Gu Yao nodded, "Okay, I will ask for leave from the team tomorrow. I have removed all the grass in our home. Sister-in-law, let me go with you!"

"No, no, you are busy in the team, so don't ask for leave! I can do it alone. I will be out of time when I have class the day after tomorrow."

Gu Yao hesitated for a moment, and shook her head, "Sister-in-law, let me go with you, just cut more points, what do you think?"

In fact, Gu Yao was worried that her sister-in-law would not be able to mow the grass. Last year, her sister-in-law could not waste too much firewood, and it would not rain in winter. This is enough to pick and pick, but now it’s different. I don't know which day it will rain.

Seeing Gu Yao insisted, Qin Lingling didn't say anything?

And when the two aunts-in-law hadn't left the house the next day, there was a black man standing at the door.

When Qin Lingling came out, the other party showed white teeth, "Sister-in-law is good."

Looking at the person coming out of Gu Yao's house, Jiang Xiaoben guessed that this person was Gu Yao's sister-in-law.

Qin Lingling didn't know each other, and said suspiciously: "Are you?"

"Oh, sister-in-law, this is Jiang Xiaoben, Gu Yao's classmate."

"Oh, you are Jiang Xiaoben?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, Gu Yao has asked me before you?"

Qin Lingling nodded, "You own all the books in the sophomore year at home?"

"Well, it's mine."

Looking at the smiling juvenile young man, Qin Lingling thought of the six characters in the book, she was indeed a sturdy young man!

In fact, Qin Lingling is not much older than Gu Yao, and Jiang Xiaoben is the same. But after all, she had lived in her own world into her twenties. In her eyes, young people under twenty-two were all children, teenagers and girls, unlike her, who had **** with a twenty-five-year-old aunt.

"Are you looking for her?" Qin Lingling asked.

Jiang Xiaoben shook his head, "It's okay, just because I'm not busy, just come and see her."

"Oh, then you come in!"

The house is not spacious, there is only one kitchen per room, and the only place Qin Lingling can invite the other person in is her own room.

She poured water for Jiang Xiaoben and said, "Gu Yao went to the vegetable garden to water, and will be back later."

"Oh it's all right."

Because she is not familiar with it, Qin Lingling doesn't know what to chat with this young man?

It was also the first time Jiang Xiaoben saw Gu Yao's sister-in-law. He often heard her praise her sister-in-law in Gu Yao's mouth.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaoben looked at his sister-in-law, more respectful.

"Little...Little Ben, right?" Qin Lingling shouted.

Jiang Xiaoben quickly stood up, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's okay, I'll call Yaoyao, you can wait here first!"

Jiang Xiaoben hurriedly waved his hand, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, don't worry, you're busy with you, Gu Yao and I are familiar with each other, it's not bad at this time."

Jiang Xiaoben said, Gu Yao, who was outside, had already returned. He heard the voice and asked, "Sister-in-law, who is here?"

Hearing that it was Gu Yao, Jiang Xiaoben ran out quickly, "Gu Yao, it's me!"

"Jiang Xiaoben? Why did you come to my house?"

"Why, I can't come yet?"

If it weren't for Gu Yao's sister-in-law, Jiang Xiaoben planned to hit Gu Yao's forehead twice.

Seeing Gu Yao came back, Qin Lingling did not disturb the two young people.

Gu Yao put down her arms and asked Xiaoben Jiang, "Will you come to ask for a book? My sister-in-law said that she will almost finish reading it, and I will return it to you when the time comes."

"No, no." Jiang Xiaoben waved his hand quickly, "That book is a waste in my house, you hold it, you hold it! I came today just to play with you."

As he said, he took out two pineapple candies from his pocket, "Come on, here's one!"

Gu Yao took it and looked at the other in his hand, "Just give me one, where's my sister-in-law?"

Jiang Xiaoben smiled, "Sure enough, it's your sister-in-law, here." He took out a pack of pineapple candy from his pocket, "I bought twenty, and I will give you all."

"Then you only get one for me." Gu Yao took all of it unceremoniously, and then took it directly unless it was given to her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, pineapple candy."

Looking at so many pineapple candies, Qin Lingling smiled and said, "Your classmate bought this for you, right?"

"No, he said he bought it for you." This was a bit weird, and Gu Yao explained again, "It means the gift he brought to the door."

Qin Lingling took it and said, "Then your classmate is interested."

Although Gu Yao said so, Qin Lingling didn't believe a word.

Gu Yao likes to eat this pineapple candy, she has said more than once.

Of course, Gu Yao also likes to eat a lot of things, but this pineapple candy is simply because it is cheap, and it is within the range of Gu Yao's ability to bear it, so the child mistakenly thought that this was her favorite food.

As for the thing that was bought for her, she didn't believe it.

Although this thing is not expensive, but in the era when a penny is expensive, it is not a child who can buy so many pineapple candies?

Looking at Jiang Xiaoben standing outside, Qin Lingling said to Gu Yao: "Since your classmate is here, let's play with others. Today I can mow the grass by myself."

Gu Yao can't rest assured, "Sister-in-law, don't, we all said yes, as for Jiang Xiaoben, I will talk to him later."

Qin Lingling didn't insist anymore, but said, "It's up to you! You can do what you like."

Gu Yao went out, and Jiang Xiaoben was standing in the yard.

Seeing Gu Yao coming out, he hurried forward, "What did your sister-in-law tell you?"

"Say thank you for the things you bought. Oh, by the way, what can you do with me?"

"That's it, I want to find you..."

"I'm going to mow the grass in the mountains with my sister-in-law later. I don't have much time to play with you. My house is not like yours. You have money and you don't have to worry about food and drink." Gu Yao said before Jiang Xiaoben finished.

Jiang Xiaoben choked in his throat directly, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

After thinking for a while, he said, "That's okay, I'm just bored, and I'll go to the mountains with you? I can also mow the grass. I am a good farmer, and I am able to mow the grass."

Gu Yao looked at him disgustingly, "Okay, listen to your nonsense, since childhood, you don't like to work, you do everything."

"Why, look down on people?"

"That's fine, then go together."

Qin Lingling was almost frightened when she asked Gu Yao to invite Jiang Xiaoben to mow the grass in the mountains.

"you sure?"

"Yeah." Seeing his sister-in-law looked worried, Gu Yao put her arms around her shoulders, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, he is boring, he just walks around, many people help."

"Then his family won't talk about him?"

"It's okay. His family is in Jiangjia Village. He is far away. He is very strong. When we cut the grass, let him carry it back. It's just right."

My sister-in-law said yes, Qin Lingling naturally said nothing, "Okay, then it's up to you."

Jiang Xiaoben is not a good hand at mowing, he is only slightly better than Qin Lingling, a less skilled person, but the craftsmanship inherited from her by the original owner, after slowly getting started, the speed of mowing will be faster.

At any rate, the original owner has been in the countryside for two years and has done a lot of rough work. This mowing is all necessary.

With Jiang Xiaoben, he helped them to cut the grass, and they carried a few burdens back.

Looking at the tired and sweating Jiang Xiaoben, Qin Lingling hurriedly stopped Gu Yao who continued to give orders.

"Yaoyao, all right, you can rest, you can talk to your classmates."

Gu Yao was not willing at first, saying that she was busy, so Qin Lingling had to say, let them go pick some coins and come back.

"I just saw a lot of copper coins and honeysuckle. Go pick some back!"

"Oh, let's do it!"

Qin Lingling breathed a sigh of relief as the two walked away.

He knew that Xiaoben Jiang must have something to say to Gu Yao. Only Gu Yao, a little girl, didn't seem to have grown up yet, and he couldn't see the young man's thoughts.

However, thinking of this made Qin Lingling think of the original partner in Gu Yao's book. What is the original partner's name?

After thinking for a long time, Qin Lingling didn't know.

However, it seems that Xiaoben Jiang and Gu Yao are classmates. They shouldn't be his, and the original match was introduced by Li Dani. What kind of people can she introduce?

According to Gu Yao, Jiang Xiaoben's father was the secretary of their brigade, and he was from a good family. If the person Gu Yao really married was Jiang Xiaoben, he would definitely not have to live that kind of hardship.

But, where did Jiang Xiaoben go? If he likes Gu Yao, why didn't he show up back then?

The more Qin Lingling thought about it, the more confused her thoughts became.

At the same time, Jiang Xiaoben accompanied Gu Yao to find the coin grass, and while looking for it, he said something relaxedly. Gu Yao answered each sentence, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

As he walked, Jiang Xiaoben stopped suddenly.

He took a few deep breaths, looked at Gu Yao's back, that long braid, and shouted, "Gu Yao."

"What's the matter?" Gu Yao looked back at him with a dazed expression.

Jiang Xiaoben walked over nervously, "Gu Yao, I want to tell you something."

"What's up?"

"how old are you?"

After Gu Yao heard this, she laughed "Puff", "Don't you know how old you are? You still ask me? You used to say that you are one year older than me. How old do you say I am?"

Jiang Xiaoben felt that what he said was not appropriate enough, but after thinking about it, he didn't know how to ask another question, so he could only bite the bullet and continue speaking.

"I am twenty and you are nineteen."

Gu Yao nodded, "Well, what's the matter?"

"Your family, did you give you a friend?"

Gu Yao shook her head, "No."

I saw Jiang Xiaoben's face suddenly showing joy, "My family has given me a picture, and my dad said that men got married early, and I am not stable enough now because I am not married."

"Oh, then you can talk to each other." Gu Yao smiled when she said this. "Your dad is right. You have not been in good shape since you were a child. When you were a child, I helped you out and grew up. Bully me if you don’t."

Seeing her innocent smile on her face, Jiang Xiaoben was suddenly in a bad mood.

He asked: "Do you really want me to meet and get married?"

"Ah! Is there anything wrong with this?"

"What about you, you are about the same age as me, and your family is not worried about your affairs?"

Gu Yao shook her head, still a little proud, "My sister-in-law said, when will we get married, it depends on fate, it's still early."

"But, Gu Yao, if I want to go on a blind date, I hope the blind date will be..." You.

"Is Gu Yao you?"

Before Jiang Xiaoben finished speaking, a voice from the foot of the mountain suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two of them.
