Gu Wenqian slept very deeply this time, and when he woke up, the house was almost cleaned up. After leaving the house, he expressed his apology, and returned the borrowed tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks with his cousin.
Zhang Daying packed more than half of the remaining pork and roast chicken and brought them back to his brother and sister-in-law. As for how to divide the two ends between the nephew and niece, these were the things that the brother and sister-in-law worried about. Anyway, the heads of the two families were counted in these dishes.
When the uncle left, he greeted Gu Wenqian, "Wenqian, let's go back first. If we have time to play at Uncle's house, Uncle will accompany you for a drink or two."
Gu Wenqian agreed, and once again thanked his uncle's family for their help.
Uncle is usually not good at words, but at this time he patted him on the shoulder with relief, "It should be, Xiaochan is my niece, and you are my niece and son-in-law. Uncle can't do anything else, so it doesn't take much effort."
Aunt Cai Daping also told Qiu Xiaochan, "Xiaochan, you are a lucky one. Wen Qian is a steady and steady child, and your life will definitely get better and better in the future."
In the eyes of the elders, this is the so-called bitterness first, sweetness after suffering, and sweetness after suffering.
In the evening, the hustle and bustle of the day ended, and the small courtyard returned to calm, only the red double happiness pasted in the courtyard revealed unfinished happiness. The leftover food at noon should not be wasted, and Zhang Daying shared some with the close ones. Keep the rest to eat at home.
Qiu Xiaochan asked Gu Wenqian for his opinion, "What shall we have for dinner? Porridge, noodles, or rice?"
Gu Wenqian smiled softly, and his eyes were deep and deep, "I can do anything, just arrange it as you like."
He has never been picky about his food, what he likes and what he doesn't like is just the difference between eating more and less.
Qiu Xiaochan turned her slightly hot face to the kitchen, and said as she walked, "Let's eat then, there is still a lot of rice left at noon, I fried it with eggs and chopped green onion, just reheat a few more dishes."
Gu Wenqian smiled and followed her to help her. When Zhang Daying came back after delivering the dishes, what he saw was the young couple cooking together, and he was very relieved.
She said to her departed husband in her heart, "Chang Gen, Xiao Chan got married today, I know you must have blessed her in heaven, and made her meet such a good boy as Wen Qian, don't worry, as long as I live one day, I will be happy." I will take care of them for a day, if you want, just wait for me below."
After dinner, it was already dark, Zhang Daying smiled and asked them to go back to the house.
"I'll clean up the kitchen. You've been tired all day, go and rest."
"Mom, we're not tired, you'd better go back to the house and rest, it's pretty quick to pack up."
Gu Wenqian also said, "Yes, Mom, I'll clean it up, you and Xiaochan should rest well."
"Hey, why did I ask you to come? Let's work together and finish it in a short while."
Few men in the countryside take the initiative to work in the kitchen. Although they have only been married for one day, Zhang Daying is already satisfied with what his son-in-law thinks.
After a busy day, it was finally time to go to bed. Normally, there should be a "bridal chamber", but Gu Wenqian's situation was special. The Qiu family was organized for marrying a daughter, and there was only a noon banquet, so the wedding ceremony was naturally cancelled.
As soon as Qiu Xiaochan entered the room, she felt that the air suddenly became thinner, her heart beat fast, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
Gu Wenqian walked behind her, and when Qiu Xiaochan stopped and turned to talk to him, she fell into a hot embrace.
Qiu Xiaochan struggled slightly, his arms tightened, and a low and hoarse voice sounded in her ears, "We are husband and wife, silly girl, how long do you want to run away?"
Qiu Xiaochan didn't expect that he could see her nervousness, and said slightly embarrassed, "I just want to take a bath."
After she finished speaking, she added, "You have to wash too."
Gu Wenqian smiled, and let go after pressing a kiss on her forehead, "Okay, you go, I'll wait for you in the room."
Qiu Xiaochan took her clothes and hurried to the bathroom.
The bathroom in Qiu's house is next to the kitchen. Naturally, there are no water heaters or showers in the countryside in this era. It is just a bathtub with hot water for soaking or rinsing.
There was a pot of hot water warming on the coal stove in the bathroom. Qiu Xiaochan used half of it, and kept the remaining half for Gu Wenqian. She mixed it with cold water and scrubbed it. Although she was a little helpless, she had to face it no matter how late Still have to face.
After she finished washing, she went back to the room and changed into a pink cotton shirt and underpants, which were specially made for sleeping. The hair that was coiled during the day has been loosened, and it spreads over her shoulders like waves. In the orange light, she His face was gilded with a soft light, his figure was slender, and his expression was shy with apprehension. Gu Wenqian felt that his twenty-five years of self-control had collapsed.
Gu Wenqian quickly took a shower and went back to the house, and found that Xiao Chan was already lying on the bed, wrapped in the quilt like a cicada chrysalis, Gu Wenqian approached with a smile, first dimmed the light of the oil lamp on the cabinet, and then scattered the bed curtain, he She was embraced through the thin autumn, and kissed her lips passionately. When Qiu Xiaochan woke up from a blank, she found herself lying in his arms, even her clothes were loose.
Such intimacy made her both like and afraid, Gu Wenqian stroked her cheek and lowered his head, this time the kiss was delicate and gentle.
"Don't be afraid, just trust me, I will never hurt you."
Qiu Xiaochan's emotions were relieved by his gentle comfort, and she tried to respond to his kisses and hugs, gradually immersed in the joy of spiritual harmony, and completed her transformation in the long night.
The next day Gu Wenqian woke up early as usual, his wife in his arms was sleeping soundly, she was as pure and beautiful as a blooming lotus, with long eyelashes, a small nose tip, bright red lips, and round and smooth shoulders. .
He gently pressed a kiss on her lips lovingly, then let go of his hand, helped her cover the quilt, got dressed and left the room.
Zhang Daying had already woken up, afraid of disturbing his daughter and son-in-law's rest, he tried his best not to make a sound even while cooking.
"Good morning, Mom, I'm sorry I got up late."
How could Zhang Daying blame his son-in-law for this matter, besides, his daughter got up later, if she married to another family and lived with her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law would definitely say it.
"It's not too late. You young people will be fine if you sleep more. At my age, you can't sleep even if you want to sleep."
Without his help for breakfast, Gu Wenqian went to the yard to look for work. After chopping firewood, he even repaired some broken chicken coops. .
Zhang Daying heard that he was going to the village, so he hurriedly let him eat breakfast, "Eat first, Xiao Chan won't wait for her until she wakes up, I'll save breakfast for her."
Today's breakfast is very rich, white rice porridge, leek fried cakes, and three boiled eggs, one for each person.
In the past, Zhang Daying was always reluctant to eat, and Qiu Xiaochan spent a long time "brainwashing" her. The human body cannot be without nutrition, just like a cow. A healthy body is nothing but empty talk.
Later, Zhang Daying himself found that after eating and sleeping well and not thinking about those unpleasant things, the pain in his body eased a lot, and he also recognized his daughter's theory.
Gu Wenqian went back to the house after eating, and saw that Xiaochan hadn't woken up yet. She was a little dishonest after falling asleep. After she turned over, the quilt fell off her shoulders, revealing her snow-white back and her soothing and attractive curves. .
He endured the throbbing and walked over to help her cover it again. He really wanted to stay at home and continue to sleep with her in his arms, but on the one hand, the work had to be completed, and on the other hand, even husband and wife should not hug each other in broad daylight, so they could only squeeze her. Her earlobe, laughed and cursed "little fool", and went out with full of tenderness and love.
When Qiu Xiaochan woke up, the sun had already risen, and the man who hugged her tightly all night and refused to let go was not by her side. She stood up hugging the quilt, and the soreness in her waist reminded her of what she had experienced.
Frankly speaking, last night was quite beyond her expectations. I thought that a man like him must abide by etiquette in his married life, and order only when he ordered, but he was so enthusiastic that it made her a little overwhelmed.
Putting on her clothes and leaving the room, her mother was weeding in the yard, saw her come out and pointed to the kitchen and said, "Breakfast is warming for you, hurry up and eat it, Wen Qian went to the village, and came back at mealtime."
Qiu Xiaochan nodded in response, and went back to the room after eating to take out the dirty clothes and sheets to wash. She was so thin-skinned, she was embarrassed to face Zhang Daying, and she squatted on the ground with her back, and hens clucked around her change.
"Mom, let's raise two more eggs, so we can pick up a few more eggs every day."
"Success, I'll look for it in two days."
Although there was a rule in the village that each household should not raise more than five chickens, as time went by, no one strictly abided by it. It is normal for each family to raise a few more chickens. Always abide by this rule.
After nine o'clock, Zhong Qiu Xiaochan began to prepare lunch. There was still meat left over from yesterday. If she didn't eat it, it would spoil. After getting everything ready, Gu Wenqian pushed the courtyard door and entered the courtyard.
When Qiu Xiaochan saw him, she remembered last night, and her face blushed unconsciously. Gu Wenqian bent her lips and took out the food, and the family of three began to eat.
"Wen Qian, you are tired from work, eat more."
"Thank you mom, you should eat more too."
After speaking, he looked at Xiao Chan beside him, and gave her a chicken wing. Xiao Chan looked over, and he smiled and bowed his head to eat.
During the meal, Zhang Daying talked about serious business, "Wen Qian, you and Xiaochan are married. Although your family members have not been able to come over, Xiaochan is already the daughter-in-law of your Gu family. I am thinking that the Chinese New Year will be in a few months. , if you want to take Xiao Chan back to visit relatives, you should prepare in advance."
Gu Wenqian put down his chopsticks and nodded, "Okay, Xiaochan and I haven't discussed the matter of visiting relatives yet, we will decide when to go back after discussing."
In the four years since he was released, Gu Wenqian only went back twice, so he was naturally homesick.
Seeing his depression, Qiu Xiaochan felt sorry for him, and comforted him, "You can leave whenever you want, the captain is very talkative, it's no problem for us to take ten days and half a month's leave."
Zhang Daying also nodded, got up and went back to the room, and came out with a handkerchief in his hand.
"Here you take this. The wedding cost a total of one hundred and sixty yuan this time. You take care of the rest of the money. You will have to spend money when you go out, and you have to bring something home."
Apart from the wedding banquet, this 160 also includes all other expenses, which is considered very economical.
Although Gu Wenqian said that the rest of the money would be used as a dowry, Zhang Daying would not ask for it.
Gu Wenqian confiscated it, and declined politely, "Mom, put it away, I still have the travel expenses back."
"I'm so old, what are you doing with your money? You're just married, and you have a lot of places to spend your money, so don't be polite to me."
Gu Wenqian didn't accept Zhang Daying and stuffed the handkerchief into his daughter's pocket.
"Don't worry about me if you haven't moved the money I saved for your wedding. I'll go to the captain's house to ask if you are already married, can you arrange other work for Wen Qian?"
Being in the cowshed somewhat meant "punishment", but after he married Xiao Chan, he was considered his own, and he was the only male in the family, so he had to fight for the rights he should fight for.
After eating and returning to the house to rest, Gu Wenqian took out a long wooden product from the suitcase he brought. When he turned around, Qiu Xiaochan looked over curiously and asked, "What is it?"
"Guess it."
"I really can't figure it out. It looks like a frame for Ann's photo."
They took a group photo when they went to the county to register for their marriage. It was the kind of headshot that only took the upper body. Originally, they wanted to take another full-body photo. The boss closed the shop temporarily but the photo was not taken, so Qiu Xiaochan is not sure. Not frames.
Gu Wenqian smiled and turned the wooden frame in his hand, and a beautiful woman looking back and smiling appeared vividly on the paper. It turned out to be a sketch portrait of himself, and he even pressed it on with glass.
She asked in surprise, "When did you draw it? It looks so similar."
"I've painted it for a while, and I gave it to you as a wedding present."
It was supposed to be delivered last night, but he forgot about it and only remembered it today.
Qiu Xiaochan really liked and was very moved. She raised her head to look at Gu Wenqian, embraced him under his affectionate eyes, and buried her face on his chest.
"You are so bad, you always do something that touches me, just to make me like you more and more."
Gu Wenqian put the photo frame on the cabinet beside him, embraced her with both hands, stroked the top of her hair with his chin, and lowered his head to kiss the center of her brow.
"Then I'm going to disappoint you. If it's called bad, I'm sure it will get worse every day."
He will treat her better every day, because she is his wife, a lover who is in perfect harmony with him physically and mentally. No one in the world is closer than them, even parents or future children. It is also impossible to achieve that kind of indifference between you and me.
His lips fell, Qiu Xiaochan obeyed her inner desire and raised her head, clinging to him with lips and teeth, tossing and turning.
After the kiss was over, Qiu Xiaochan's lips became more rosy and plump, more moist than June's peaches.
Qiu Xiaochan picked up the painting and looked at it again and again. Only with emotion can she draw her so well based on her impression.
She looked around the room, and finally picked the wall facing the bed, "This painting should hang here, I have to look at it every day."
Gu Wenqian nodded her nose and smiled, "Okay, listen to you, you can hang it wherever you say."
He had to go to the cowshed in the afternoon, otherwise the cows would not be fed, unlike Qiu Xiaochan, who asked for three days off from the pig farm before getting married, and didn't get paid for these three days.
"Have you thought about visiting relatives? When will you be back?"
Qiu Xiaochan was afraid that it would not be easy to buy train tickets until before the Chinese New Year, as the weather is just right now.
Gu Wenqian thought for a while and said, "Then next month, I'll write a letter and tell them, they will be happy to know."
Qiu Xiaochan said, "I haven't heard much about your family affairs."
Gu Wenqian put his arms around her shoulders and pulled her to sit by the bed together, looking out of the window, with many emotions in his eyes, including memories, happiness and pain.
"My parents are very gentle people. In my impression, they have never lost their temper with me."
Then he told Qiu Xiaochan the story of his parents. They fell in love at university and got married after graduation. One is the youngest daughter of a big capitalist and the other is the youngest son of a politician. , constantly learning to enrich oneself, pursuing ideological abundance rather than material wealth, and being considerate of mother's difficulty in pregnancy. After Gu Wenqian was born, his father decided not to have other children. Parents are also democratic and free in the education of Gu Wenqian.
They regard their children as equal personalities, rather than their own vassals. Whether they were naughty or did something wrong when they were young, their father will not scold them immediately, but carefully analyze the pros and cons of things for him.
For example, when he played football and broke a flower pot, his father would ask, what should I do if the flower pot hits someone else? What if the head is broken and bloody, or the life is seriously injured, or what should I do if I don’t clean it in time and hurt my foot
"You may think that this is just a trivial matter, but 'knowing it now', you can't just see what is in front of you, you must think about the disadvantages behind this matter. Many dangers happen because you didn't pay attention to it. Like rolling bigger and bigger."
Therefore, it is not surprising that Gu Wenqian developed such a calm temperament.
After hearing this, Qiu Xiaochan said with emotion, "They are really good people, and they are worthy of admiration."
Especially when hardships come, they have the opportunity to go abroad to avoid disaster and teach in foreign universities, but they refuse.
"If we 'escape' at this time, what is the difference between admitting to betraying the country? We are Chinese. The harder it is, the more dirty water will be poured over us. .”
So my father was "decentralized" to the Northeast Farm, and my mother was not in good health, so my uncle took a lot of effort to save her, and has been recuperating at his uncle's house for the past few years.
"Okay, let's stop here today, I have to go to the village."
Qiu Xiaochan took her arm, leaned her head on his shoulder and said softly, "Let's live a good life and try our best to be filial to our parents. One day all these sufferings will pass, and then you will be able to reunite with your parents."
He hummed, thinking his wife was comforting, kissed her forehead and said, "The most painful time is over. Mother is very happy to know that I am married. She will definitely like you very much when she sees you."
Qiu Xiaochan nodded with a smile, her eyes were shining brightly, she tilted her head and said jokingly, "Of course, you like me so much, and my mother-in-law who is so considerate must like me very much."
Gu Wenqian really smiled, patted her on the head lightly, and echoed, "You are right, when I come back tonight, I will write to them and put our photos in it, so that everyone can meet you in advance."
After Gu Wenqian left, Zhang Daying also went to the team leader's house, while Qiu Xiaochan was doing nothing at home, thinking about washing the radishes grown in the field, preparing to make dried radishes, and if they taste good, they can be sold in Dao County.
*
Zhang Daying came back after going there for about an hour, and he couldn't tell from his expression whether the matter was done or not.
Qiu Xiaochan asked, "Mom, what did the captain say?"
Zhang Daying was a little tired, so he found a chair and sat down first, "He said that you are just married, and you are afraid that other people in the team will have opinions, so you have to take it easy, and find a chance to arrange Wen Qian to do other things when the farming season is busy. "
Qiu Xiaochan knew that in a few days the team would organize harvesting of corn, which meant that the captain responded indirectly.
"That's good, the captain is pretty easy to talk to."
Zhang Daying shook his head and said, "It's not that easy, why don't you let go of your mother and my old face, Qiu Fang and I have always gotten along well, and she has helped us a lot secretly for so many years."
Otherwise, how could Xiao Chan get such a good job as a pig farm? Although the wages are small, she can work leisurely and is not easy to be bullied. After all, Mrs. Zhu is a nice person.
It was only then that Qiu Xiaochan realized that the old lady had arranged so many things in a quiet manner, and she was really worried about her daughter.
Gu Wenqian came back after dark, and Zhang Daying mentioned to him about changing jobs. In fact, for Gu Wenqian, it doesn’t matter what job he does, but for the sake of the family, he is willing to earn more work points for his mother-in-law and wife to live together. live a more secure life.
After dinner, Gu Wenqian began to write letters. Qiu Xiaochan moved a chair and sat beside him to read. He first greeted the elders, and then mentioned the wedding. He described all the details in words, hoping that his family would read the letter Once again, Qiu Xiaochan felt the softness and considerateness in his heart.
It is written that the bride is very beautiful, wearing a red wedding dress, and they rode bicycles together on the field trails, with the autumn wind blowing on their faces, free and happy.
Gu Wenqian stopped writing and turned his head to ask, "Xiaochan, do you want to write something?"
Qiu Xiaochan said "ah" in surprise, "Let me write? But I don't know what to write."
Gu Wenqian handed her the pen in his hand, and said comfortingly, "Write whatever you think of, or just say hello."
Qiu Xiaochan looked at the sonorous handwriting on the paper, and finally agreed, "Okay, but you can't laugh at me if I don't write well."
Fortunately, she has practiced calligraphy. It would be too tragic to compare it with a stroke of dog crawling.
She wrote, "Hello mom, hello uncle and aunt, I'm Xiaochan, I'm married to Wenqian, although we're thousands of miles away and haven't seen each other, I've heard a lot from Wenqian, and I have a feeling deep in my heart. The natural intimacy, maybe this is the emotion between family members... "
After writing a paragraph, Qiu Xiaochan moved the letter paper over to show him, and Gu Wenqian nodded with a smile, "The writing is very good, it can be seen that it is from the heart."
"Of course, this is called showing the truth."
She looked proud like a cunning little fox, Gu Wenqian tilted his head and kissed her lips, and quickly moved away with a light kiss, not surprised to see her flushed cheeks.
"I'll just write two more paragraphs, you don't have to accompany me, go get busy first."
It's getting dark, what else is there to do, isn't it just a matter of taking a bath and going to bed, he said so, Qiu Xiaochan didn't accompany him, took a change of clothes and towels and went to the bathroom.
This night, Gu Wenqian was still as enthusiastic as a prairie fire. Fortunately, Qiu Xiaochan finally kept up with his rhythm and did not fall asleep from exhaustion.
In the middle of the night, Qiu Xiaochan leaned against him like a cat, and asked him a question that he had been planning for a long time, but she was afraid that he would not be able to accept it for a while, so she said it very tactfully.
"I heard that many people secretly go to the 'black market' to buy what they need, even without food stamps."
Gu Wenqian said "Yeah", with a low voice that revealed a lazy and sexy voice, not to mention how charming it is to listen to in the middle of the night, Qiu Xiaochan felt that even just listening to him speak could not help but fall in love with him.
He said, "Where there is a demand, there is a market. Such things cannot be banned."
Qiu Xiaochan leaned against him and whispered in his ear, "Then can we go?"
Gu Wenqian only felt her ears burn, and the palms caressing her waist tightened unconsciously, and then her brain interpreted her words.
His only thought was, "Is there anything you want to buy?"
Qiu Xiaochan shook her head and told her thoughts, including what ingredients she had stored.
"Of course the good things are for us to keep for ourselves. This time we will bring some mountain goods when we return to the capital. We have nothing else to sell except these."
Gu Wenqian didn't expect that the seemingly delicate little wife was actually a courageous one. Even he was worried and didn't think about it, but she brought it up first.
He has known about the black market for a long time, and he has done business in the past. When he came to Shangyao Village, he got sick because of the inaccurate environment and the expensive medical treatment. He didn't want his family to worry about it, so he sold the watch he had worn for several years. Later, when he returned to the capital, his uncle asked him about it, and then he confessed. Later, his uncle gave him another piece. He kept it under his pillow for fear of breaking it.
In her words, wealth does not reveal wealth. Except for the captain, only four or five companies on the team have watches, which are domestic brands. If they wear a Swiss watch to go out, they will definitely be missed.
"We are far away from the county seat, and it is not so easy to go to the black market to do business. How do we go first? Walk from home to the town, and then take a bus to the county seat. What do you say when people ask you what to do when you are carrying something on your back? What if you go to the county seat? Did you meet the inspection team again?"
Qiu Xiaochan knows that it will be difficult to implement, but she will solve the difficulties when there are difficulties, and she can't shrink back before doing something.
"Then don't think about these things for now, so I'll ask you if you agree? There are three people in our family, and I only have three work points. My mother is not in good health and can't do the work in the field. You can't do it alone. If one day we Now that you have kids, there are plenty of places to spend your money."
Gu Wenqian laughed when she heard her mentioning the child. In fact, he didn't disagree with what he said just now. He just guessed and analyzed the real difficulties for her. As she said, if there is a problem, it will be solved. What is the attitude of the matter.
Before he got married, he never thought about it. He would not worry about feeding the whole family by himself, but now that he has a wife, he will have children in the future. He's at his limit.
"You're right, if you really want to do this, first we have to buy a bicycle, and second, we have to find a middleman who doesn't have to go out and have a pallet for the other party, which saves time and money, just let part of the profit."
Although the earning is less, the safety factor has been improved. As long as the other party abides by the rules and does not take them out even if something happens, the transaction can go on for a long time.
Qiu Xiaochan decided that he was not aimless, and there must be a reason for what he said, so she asked directly, "So you say that you are an acquainted middleman?"
Gu Wenqian moved his palm from his waist to her ear, and twisted her earlobe back, "I met a big brother who sold watches before. He specializes in this kind of thing. He has a certain reputation in the black market. He let me find something directly." He's out, if he hasn't had an accident, I can get in touch with him."
At that time, Gu Wenqian followed the other party to his home to trade, and Gu Wenqian still remembered the other party's address.
"Great, I found out that you are my wife, you can solve any problem."
Knowing carpentry, drawing, and doing manual labor, there is nothing to choose except that he is not good at cooking. The important thing is that he is still good-looking, and he can't get tired of looking at him every day.
Gu Wenqian smiled, his smiling eyes were bright and soothing in the dark night.
"I'm glad you realized this. As your husband, I hope you can trust me and rely on me at any time. No matter what kind of whimsy you have or difficulties you encounter, don't hide everything from me."
Qiu Xiaochan responded with "Yes", she thought apologetically in her heart, it's a pity that the biggest secret can't be shared with him, but she swore that apart from where she came from and the existence of the system, she would never lie to him in her life.
Qiu Xiaochan embraced him, raised her head and kissed his chin, and then her warm lips, the two kissed tenderly in the night.
The next day, Gu Wenqian went to the town to post a letter, and before leaving, he asked Qiu Xiaochan if she had anything to bring.
"I don't lack anything for the time being, but today I suddenly had an idea to grow mushrooms at home, which can be eaten and sold. The materials are very simple. You can go to the supply and marketing agency to buy some nails and use them as wooden basins. I will try it first. Let's see if it works."
Gu Wenqian agreed and did not ask for other details. This is also an advantage that Qiu Xiaochan gave him high marks in her heart.
The sense of boundaries between people is also very important. Some people lack boundaries and like to break the casserole and ask the end of everything, but Gu Wenqian is different. He knows how to respect other people’s desires. He will never ask more questions if the other party doesn’t say anything , and will not think about things in his heart, whether it is irrelevant people or parents and wives, the same is true. This kind of character is closely related to his family education since he was a child.
The reason why Qiu Xiaochan thought of planting mushrooms was inspired by Zhang Daying’s bean sprouts. Mushrooms were not everywhere in this era. Weather conditions limit.
"Things are rare and expensive", it is now mid-October, the weather gets colder as it goes down, and the colder the weather, the less vegetables are available. Every day, anyone who eats cabbage and radishes will get tired of it. If there are baskets of fresh snow-white mushrooms, buy them back. No matter whether it is boiled in soup, stir-fried, or chopped and mixed with minced meat to make meatballs, who can resist such a delicious temptation.
In addition to the wooden pot, the most important thing is the soil for growing mushrooms. There are fungus bags in the space that can be exchanged, but it is too easy for Gu Wenqian to see the problem, so she is going to use humus, that is, the soil after the leaves have rotted. It's hard to find, just go to the mountain and dig.
When Gu Wenqian came back from the town, Qiu Xiaochan asked him to make a wooden basin according to her own request, which was similar in size to a potted plant.
"Okay, I understand, I will make it for you this afternoon."
Qiu Xiaochan fell in love with his sure answer, and while Zhang Daying was busy in the kitchen, she put her feet on his face and kissed him.
"Honey, you are wonderful."
Gu Wenqian was stunned for a while, one was because of her sudden kiss, and the other was the address "Darling", which was how the cousin of the foreign school called her brother-in-law in the past. It's not as lively anymore.
He stroked his wife's hair and sighed, "I like to see you so happy, but from now on this title can only be called when we are alone together."
Qiu Xiaochan's nervousness finally eased. After she accidentally blurted out, seeing his suddenly serious expression, she thought he was going to ask her why she knew the title, and she had already thought of the reason, so she said peeking I learned it from foreign novels, and I was worried for nothing.
She hugged his neck with a smile, with a sweet smile, and called him over and over again in his ear, Gu Wenqian's eyes became deeper and deeper, and finally she couldn't bear to press her hot lips.
*
Qiu Xiaochan went to the back mountain while cutting pigweed in the afternoon, and dug a basket of soil that met the requirements. When she returned home in the evening, Gu Wenqian had already brought home the wooden pots she had made.
He held up a square wooden container and asked, "How about this one? I tried it, and the airtightness is very good. If it doesn't fit, I'll change it."
He did it very seriously, enough to put it in the shop and sell it as a handicraft. Qiu Xiaochan couldn't put it down, and kept praising, "It's so good, it's so good that I can't bear to use it."
Gu Wenqian watched her happy smile from the heart, and noticed that the corners of his lips were raised unknowingly. It seems that since he decided to marry her, his mood has always been bright and relaxed. Although he occasionally worries about his relatives far away, But for himself, he doesn't care much about the loss, and even thinks that it was a secret arrangement together, and she is the comfort and reward that life gives him, making bitterness sweet.
Do it as soon as you say it is dry, Qiu Xiaochan put the dug soil into the wooden basin, sprinkled a thin layer of water after filling it, let the water fully moisten the soil, and then spread straw paper on the mouth of the basin, all the work When finished, move the tub to a cool, backlit place.
"That's it?"
Qiu Xiaochan nodded, and went with him to the well to fetch water to wash her hands. As soon as her hands reached into the basin, she was held by another pair of big, well-knit hands, and they carefully washed off the dirt on her hands.
Qiu Xiaochan curled the corners of her lips and scratched his palm dishonestly. Gu Wenqian smiled helplessly, with doting eyes in her eyes, and let her fuss. After washing, she took out her hand and took it down on the clothesline. He wiped her hands with a towel, patted her head and said, "Okay, call mom out for dinner."
During the meal, Zhang Daying asked, "What are you doing this afternoon, it's in full swing."
Qiu Xiaochan said about her plan to grow mushrooms, "I still don't know if it will be successful, but I read a book on agriculture, which mentioned this method."
Zhang Daying said worriedly, "Isn't this 'speculation'? If someone gets caught, it will be terrible."
Qiu Xiaochan comforted, "Mom, I haven't written my horoscope yet. If I get lucky, I won't put myself in danger. Do you think the two of us are stupid?"
Zhang Daying shook her head and sighed, if her daughter was not married, she could still persuade her, now that she is married, there is nothing wrong with the young couple planning for the future, besides, she is more at ease with her son-in-law than with her own girl.
"Okay, let's see if it works. I won't stop you from doing whatever you want. There is only one sentence, safety is the first priority. I'd rather earn less money than get myself involved."
Gu Wenqian promised, "Mom, don't worry, we won't take any risks."
With his guarantee, Zhang Daying really felt at ease. , please keep in mind:,
