Xiao Liulang hired the fastest carriage and arrived in Qingquan Town at the end of August.
When passing by Tianxiang Academy, Feng Lin first moved his luggage back to his dormitory, and ran into Dean Li after he came out.
Dean Li was surprised when he saw him: "Huh? Why so fast? Didn't you go to the village examination? What happened if you didn't catch up? What about Liulang?"
"Catch up! We'll be back after the exam! That... I'll talk to you later, Liu Lang is waiting for me outside, goodbye dean!" Feng Lingan said with a smile, and ran away quickly. !
Who doesn't know that Xiao Liulang is Dean Li's baby bump. If he doesn't go a little faster, Dean Li can hold him and ask.
Feng Lin whizzed onto the carriage.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Liulang asked.
"President Li!" Feng Lin said, "Don't get caught by him, you won't be able to get home after asking for a while!"
Xiao Liulang thought it so, and urged the coachman to rush the carriage back to the village.
The money for the car was settled as early as in the provincial capital, but the coachman followed them all the way to be a coachman and a servant. It was hard work and hard work, so Xiao Liulang gave him another one or two.
The coachman was flattered and hurriedly bowed his hands.
"Be careful on the road." Xiao Liulang said.
"Eh! Thank you Young Master Xiao!" The coachman happily got into the carriage.
What they get in their business is hard money. Don't look at the money that has really fallen into their hands for more than a month after going out for more than a month. With these two, the life at home will be much better next month!
Xiao Liulang and Feng Lin walked to the village.
When they left the village at the end of June, the late rice in the village had just been planted, just sparsely small rice seedlings, and now the whole length is a green patch.
"Wow! The wheat in your village grows really well!"
This year the weather is abnormal, rain is scarce, and the farmland is dry, causing many crops to die in the land. They walked all the way from the provincial capital, witnessing it with their own eyes, and were shocked in their hearts.
However, the crops in Qingquan Village did not seem to have been affected by the drought, and they grew so strong.
"It's rice." Xiao Liulang corrected him, but the same doubts flashed in his heart, why did the crops in his village grow so well?
"Oh." Feng Lin replied, and suddenly pointed to the front, "Look! Drain! Not bad, you have dug a channel in your village! It's different if you change the inside!"
After Mr. Gu stepped down, the village chose a new Lizheng. The surname of Uncle Luo is a family member. It is said that he is about to be out of five servers, but because he lives close, the two families move around a lot, so the relationship is still close.
Luo Lizheng didn't care that the old man was educated, but he was a pragmatic man. He would help out any folks in the village who had difficulties.
But say digging a canal...
It was not Xiao Liulang who underestimated Luo Lizheng, but the neighbors and villagers. After getting along for so long, Luo Lizheng still sees what Xiao Liulang will do.
He is a relatively conservative Lizheng, and he is not easy to start construction projects, and there is no money to start construction projects in the village.
"Hey! Liu Lang!" Feng Lin croaked on the side, "Look! Waterwheel! Oh my god! Am I dazzled? Your village actually has a waterwheel!"
Feng Lin is so old that he has seen waterwheels only a few times.
Waterwheels are good things, they can divert water from low places to high places, and they are best used to irrigate farmland.
It’s just that waterwheels are rarely seen in such small county towns. Generally, the more prosperous villages can arrange waterwheels. They have seen waterwheels several times on their way back from the provincial capital, but they are all due to drought and the water in their own villages. There is no water in the pond, so waterwheels have become decorations.
Feng Lin was puzzled: "By the way, where does the water in your village come from?"
Xiao Liulang's gaze followed the canal all the way to the back mountain of Uncle Luo's house. He frowned and murmured, "Did you lead the waterfall on the mountain?"
Then it is not an ordinary canal. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to dig it out after crossing half a mountain. Not only that, but also need to be very familiar with the topography of the mountain.
"Oh! Rokuro is back!"
It's Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang just came out of Luo Ershu's house with a basket of wild fruits in her hand. She felt that her family was 80% lucky, and she was the first one to see Xiulang after returning from an exam!
"Aunt Zhang." Xiao Liulang said hello.
"Aunt Zhang!" Feng Lin also greeted with a smile.
Feng Lin always came to the village, Aunt Zhang already recognized him, and Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "I'm back, this time is longer than last time! The provincial capital is far away!"
The country folks don't understand the days of examinations and the release of the rankings. don't know that Xiao Liulang was actually the first to go home among the out-of-town candidates of the rural examination. just think he has left for a month longer than last time.
Xiao Liulang didn't explain anything, and said, "Yes, the provincial capital is farther than the prefectural city. It took more than half a month to arrive."
"What I said!" Aunt Zhang looked like I was really smart, "Well, I have been away from home for so many days, so I'm thinking of Jiao Niang, go back quickly, she is there!"
Today, Tianxiang Academy is on holiday, but the private school is not on holiday. Gu Xiaoshun went to the town to take care of the two babies, and Gu Jiao was working at home.
When Xiao Liulang and Feng Lin entered the house, the first thing they saw was not Gu Jiao, but a man dressed as a farmer.
Both were taken aback.
Hearing the movement at the door, the man turned around, his eyes lit up: "Rokuro? This is... Feng Xiucai, right?"
Feng Lin was startled: "Uh...I am, you are..."
"Luo Lizheng." Xiao Liulang said hello.
Rory was scratching his head and smiling.
Feng Lin suddenly realized: "You are the new Lizheng? You are really good. You are digging ditches and making waterwheels. The crops of the whole village have been revitalized for you!"
Luo Lizheng was startled at first, and then he smiled honestly: "Feng Xiucai boasted that he misunderstood. It is not me who digs the canal, nor is it me who makes the waterwheel!"
Feng Lin looked astonished: "Isn't who you are?"
There was a vague guess in Xiao Liulang's heart. He subconsciously looked towards the back door of the hall. At this time, Gu Jiao wiped his hands and entered the hall.
When she saw Xiao Liulang, her step was just a meal.
She knows the time when the rural exams are over, and she also knows when the list will be released. She estimated that Xiao Liulang would come back after the list was released. Unexpectedly, it was so soon.
Her dazed little look was a bit natural.
Xiao Liulang felt his heart tremble uncontrollably.
He looked away calmly and greeted Rory Zheng.
Rory was at a loss, didn't he say hello just now?
Gu Jiao looked at Xiao Liulang and curled her lips unconsciously: "Why did you come back so soon? Don't play for a few more days in the provincial capital."
Xiao Liulang said lightly, "There is nothing fun in the provincial capital."
Gu Jiao: "Oh."
Luo Li was smiling and said, "Just now I was talking about you. Feng Xiucai asked me if I dug the canal and if I did the waterwheel. Haha, where can I have such skills?"
He said, to Feng Lin, "It's a lady!"
"Ah..." Feng Lin was dumbfounded.
Gu Jiao opened the mountain to grow medicine fields and dug a fish pond. When the water from the waterfall was introduced into the fish pond, he also dug a canal directly into the village.
The weather is dry and the waterfall on the mountain is much smaller, but it is still enough to irrigate the farmland in the village.
Xiao Liulang glanced at Gu Jiao deeply.
"Isn't it? It's only been two months since you even dug out the fish pond?" Feng Lin knew about Gu Jiao's purchase of mountains, but he didn't expect Gu Jiao to be so resolute.
Luo Li was saying to Gu Jiao: "By the way, the wooden cart you told us about the threshing and Yangguzi last time, I went to the carpenter in the village to do it, but I didn't make it so quickly, they asked me to ask you, Which kind of wood is better?"
Gu Jiao thought for a while, and said, "Red pine, aspen, chrysanthemum, and basswood are all fine. They have high hardness and are not easily deformed."
"Okay! Then I'll go first!" Luo Li was saying, then turned around to congratulate Xiao Liulang and Feng Lin in advance, and wish them both on the township test list.
"What threshing and Yangguzi carts?" Feng Lin asked curiously.
Gu Jiao explained: "It's a car that can separate the grains from the ears of rice, as well as a car that can filter out the insufficiently full rice grains, leaving only normal grains."
"There is this kind of thing?" Feng Lin doubted.
Although he can't distinguish between wheat fields and rice fields, he still knows threshing grains.
They were all grabbing a bundle of rice and smashing it to the ground with brute force. It was too much trouble to smash it, and it might not be able to take it off. The rice ears that did not come off had to be picked carefully by hand.
When he was a child, he picked millet for people, and half a copper plate a day.
As for the separation of rice grains and good grains, usually the grains are dried in the sun, and then a windy day is selected for raising the grains. Good valleys are heavier and will fall on the ground; shaggy valleys are lighter and will be blown aside by the wind.
After pounding the rice, the rice is separated from the chaff by the method of raising the valley.
Gu Jiao’s cart made by Gu Jiao is similar in principle to that of Yanggu. It can separate rice and chaff, as well as rice and chaff, but the cart is more efficient, labor-saving, and cleaner.
Originally, Luo Lizheng didn't really believe in such a useful thing. It can be seen that after Gu Jiao dug a canal and built a waterwheel for the villagers, Luo Li was convinced of her ability and character.
The three Gu Yan brothers arrived home in the evening.
Xiao Jingkong's eyelids began to jump suddenly from noon. As soon as he entered the room and saw the bad brother-in-law, he finally understood why his eyelids jumped all afternoon!
He walked into the room and looked at the bad brother-in-law with a serious face.
Well, no thinness.
Jiaojiao shouldn't worry.
He took Xiao Liulang to the backyard and asked Xiao Liulang to pick him the dates from the jujube tree.
Xiao Liulang looked up at the branch: "It's almost September, where are the dates?"
Xiao Jingkong's gaze fixed on Xiao Liulang's head, he had strictly recorded the height of the bad brother-in-law before, barely able to reach the first branch, and now the bad brother-in-law has passed the branch!
The bad brother-in-law has grown taller!
In fact, in the past two months, according to his close observation, not only the bad brother-in-law has grown taller, but also the older brothers Gu Yan and Xiaoshun, even Jiaojiao.
The only thing that hasn't changed in the family is him and his aunt.
Jiaojiao said that it was because he was still young.
But the dog is smaller than him, and the dog has grown taller!
Little Clearance is frowning!
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Liulang looked at him and asked.
"Oh, nothing, don't talk about me." Xiaojingkong sighed like an adult, looked up at Xiao Liulang solemnly, "Tell me about you! How did you do this time? Is it difficult? Is it difficult? Sure? If you can't get the job done, the family will have to provide you with another three years!"
Xiao Liulang never expected to avoid Dean Li, but not the little monk...
What's everyone's small tone?
"You still know that the test takes place every three years." Xiao Liulang moved his small inch angrily and funny, and handed a picked red date to his hand, "Here, take it for fun."
Xiao Jingkong looked at the shriveled jujube in his hand and curled his mouth.
Who wants to play? childish!
Xiao Liulang's family brought gifts, and the old lady's sesame seeds and soybean cakes.
Happy old lady!
Gu Jiao confiscated the matang, so he could only eat one piece of soybean cake a day.
The old lady is not happy!
The inkstone that Gu Yan brought was a piece of jade, which was round, and he liked round things, especially jade.
Gu Yan: "Thank you brother-in-law."
What gives small clearance is a set of nine chains.
Xiao Jingkong took it with a arrogant expression, said "what's wrong, childishness is dead", turned around and hid in the room, and secretly untied the nine chains!
Gu Xiaoshun was given a few pieces of fine woodcarving materials. Now he doesn't lack tools in his hands, he lacks the good wood that would make him miserable.
"Brother-in-law, what kind of wood is this? I haven't seen it before!" Gu Xiaoshun asked, holding a black block in his hand.
"Ebony." Xiao Liulang said.
The ebony was not owned by Zhaoguo, but was transported from Qingguo. With luck, they ran into a caravan halfway through.
Several people are very satisfied with their gifts.
Finally it was Gu Jiao's turn.
Gu Jiaoxin said that she couldn't give her any more brushes this time, but Xiao Liulang did not give her a pen, but sent a stack of paper.
Gu Jiao: "..."
This is not the rough paper sold on the market, but the very expensive water-grained paper, which shows curtain patterns, bamboo patterns or patterns when facing the light, so it is also called patterned paper.
Patterned paper is complicated in craftsmanship and expensive to make. It can't even be sold in Fucheng, and it can only be found in provincial cities.
In Zhaoguo, sending patterned paper is about the same as sending flowers.
The red sleeves add fragrance to the flowers before the moon.
However, Gu Jiao's smile gradually froze on her small face.
The old lady whose mochi was confiscated laughed forward and backward.
There is a kind of romance, called Rokuro thinks it is very romantic!
Feng Lin also brought things, a few large pieces of smoked donkey meat, a bottle of wine for burning knives, and the knives were sent by the store.
Gu Jiao hadn't drunk ancient wine, and she smelled not too strong. She tasted two bites, and she didn't respond to dinner when she was washing the dishes.
Xiao Liulang first sent Feng Lin to the entrance of the village, and then came back to give Xiao Jingkong a bath. When he went to the stove to find Gu Jiao, Gu Jiao had already thrown the half-washed bowl in the pot and sat in the main room. On the threshold of the back door.
She turned her back to Xiao Liulang and stared at the starry sky motionlessly.
Xiao Liulang walked over: "What are you looking at?"
Gu Jiao turned her head slowly, her expression was dull and woody, her small face was flushed, her big eyes were wet, glowing with crystal water.
Her appearance is different from the cold and cold in the usual days, but she seems to have become a child in an instant, especially innocent.
"Look at the stars."
she says.
The voices were soft and waxy, with a faint little milky voice.
Xiao Liulang took a deep breath, settled, and said: "Go back to the house, it's dark."
"No." She shook her head, muttering a small mouth.
Yes, small headroom is usually like this.
Have a drink, and drink yourself to Gu's three-year-old.
Gu Jiao continued to look up at the stars.
"Rokuro." She suddenly said.
