Mountain People

There is no danger for them to travel now, but there are too many emergencies in the mountains. Just in case, Gu Shuixiu will bring three or four guards every time she goes out. Now she has more With the rainstorm pear flower needle that she carried with her, her safety was completely guaranteed. Even if she didn't bring an escort, she could walk out of this mountain safely.

It was the season, but Gu Shuixiu was a little surprised by how much the old man went to the field.

This kind of accident was solved after seeing Zhao.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Gu's house, Gu Shuixiu shouted, and immediately broke the silence of the surroundings, and even the chirping of insects stopped temporarily. When Mrs Zhao in the house heard Gu Shuixiu's voice, she hurried to open the door. Seeing how excited she was when she opened the door, she knew how happy she was.

Seeing this, Gu Shuixiu felt a little sour and patted the children beside her, motioning them to get out of the car. The two little ones were quite clever. The left sentence is grandmother, the right sentence is grandmother's, one person grabs one of Zhao's hand and jumps around Zhao's, so sweet that Zhao's heart will melt.

Gu Shuixiu laughed as she watched the two little girls entertaining their relatives, and ordered Dong Er and the others to drive the donkey cart to the house, and then let Jingjing and the wonderful people help to move things in, and then followed in. the house.

Everything in the house is the same as before, nothing has changed. If Gu Shuixiu doesn't come, obviously the house should be very lonely.

"Mom, is my father going to the fields again? Why are all the old people going to the fields this year, where are all the young and middle-aged people in the village?" Gu Shuixiu walked around the kitchen and came out to see Zhao Shi had a lot of trouble with the two children, so he asked.

After hearing Gu Shuixiu's question, Mrs Zhao reluctantly took the time to reply: "No! Your father has not been in the fields recently, but at the village chief's house. Our village will build a road leading to the town. , so that the villagers will not be inconvenient to travel, but the village can't get so much money. Your father thinks this is a good thing, so he gives 20 taels of silver, and other people will give a few cents and a few more labor. Everyone Let's work together to repair this road.

Because your father made the most money, the village chief asked your father to be in charge, just now that the busy farming season is over, your father has nothing to do when he is idle, and he is concerned about this matter, so he goes along Join in the fun. "

"Building the road?" Gu Shuixiu paused and asked in surprise, she had never heard other people who came out of the mountain talking about this matter before, could it be that it only started recently?

"Mother, when did this happen? It takes a lot of money to build a road, and this amount of money alone won't last long!" Gu Shuixiu didn't know how to build a road in this era Yes, but this kind of big project is generally a matter of labor and money. If the yamen is not organized, few people will think about this matter, unless it is people who have a lot of money and nowhere to spend, and want to gain a good reputation. .

Zhao shi hugged the two children to her lap and kissed them intimately, only then did she face Gu Shuixiu's question, sighed, and said, "Oh! Build as much money as you can! In fact, it's not that the villagers want to build the road because they are full. The village has been here for so many years, and no one has thought about it before.

One, four were injured, and one of them fell into the ravine and was injured the most.

In the past, our village has never killed and injured so many people because of such a situation. It just so happens that the current village chief has done nothing for the past few years, so he just wants to do something for the villagers, but he has time The idea is that there is no money at all, not to mention the money-burning thing like building a road.

It happened that our family in the village was in a good situation, the village chief went to your father and said those things, or we didn't know about it, after all, our family is left now My father and I are in the village, and your father wanders around the fields every day, and doesn't go to inquire about the village.

After listening to your father, he agreed without much thought. After all, it is a good deed. Besides, once this road is repaired, it will be beneficial to our family. I also agree, these 22 taels are taken out by my father and I, without spending a penny on them. "

Zhao and Gu Mingde have taken care of the food for the family over the years. Except for the food they keep for themselves, they are sold to the villagers or shipped out for sale. After so many years, they have saved a lot of money, plus Gu Daniu, Gu Erniu would give them some silver every year, and Gu Shuixiu would occasionally subsidize it. Twenty taels of silver was really not a lot of money for them.

If they weren't worried about taking too much and making people jealous, they could give more money.

Gu Shuixiu knew what Zhao said. If this road was built, it would save half the time from Caozi Village to Panlong Town, and it would be more comfortable to travel by donkey or horse carriage. You don't have to turn it upside down, it's like riding in a car to keep up with punishment.

Gu Shuixiusi paid for a moment, then said with a chuckle: "Mother, although I am a married woman, this road is also the only way for us to go out of the mountains. Anyway, we should do our bit, but everyone in our family is useful now, and we definitely won't be able to provide the manpower, so how about I give the village a little money?"

Zhao shi raised her eyebrows and smiled and said, "This is a good feeling! Anyway, you girl is not short of money now. Tell your father when the time comes, and ask your father to tell the village chief, If you give out the money, those villagers will only be grateful, and will never dare to say rude words."

Looking at Zhao's appearance, she obviously still cares about the previous things. Gu Shuixiu also knows that the peasant women in the village are like this. Talk a lot.

Dong Yuanzheng in Zhao's arms didn't understand these things and didn't care. After getting tired of Zhao's arms for a while, he couldn't sit still, and immediately struggled to jump down, catching chickens and teasing dogs in the yard , making the whole yard jump.

Gu Shuixiu glanced at Dong Yuanzheng, and seeing that he was having a good time, she didn't stop her, but reminded Zhao Shi, "Mother, when Yuanzheng is not paying attention, you should shut up these chickens. Get up, as for this dog... Let's see if I can tie it to the back vegetable field, so as not to be killed by this skin boy."
