Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Chapter 26: Agree

There are many disadvantages of using fire to open up wasteland. The biggest one is that it is prone to fire. Once the fire cannot be controlled, it will spread as a forest fire.

The Qin family can only use four people, two of them are children, it is too difficult to contain the fire, even if they make fireproof belts.

Yes, the ancients already knew how to make fire belts, but the probability of accidental fires is still very high. In order not to ruin his own life and harm innocent people, Qin Xinfang firmly rejected the proposal of the two children.

So, Gu Jingyun, who is extremely smart and daring, plans to go it alone, and of course he will bring his only accomplice, Li Baolu.

Li Baolu looked at Gu Jingyun seriously for a while, and followed him to the wasteland. She was very familiar with that look, isn’t it because the bear child thinks that eight horses can’t pull it back?

In order not to be left behind and to be able to monitor the situation at all times, Li Baolu could only agree to spend half an afternoon with him to continue tossing in the wasteland.

Knowing that Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu did not go to the mountains to dig traps to trap prey and find wild vegetables, but ran to open up wasteland quickly and efficiently, Zhang Liulang decisively gave up his hunting career and went to watch.

Zhang Ermei, who was deeply in love with Zhang Liulang’s brother and sister, and who was anxious and inseparable from Meng, happily came with him, so while Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun were sweating profusely waving their scythes, Zhang Liulang and Zhang Ermei were standing aside and pointed, “Too slow. Now, can’t you be faster? The knife edge is slanted down, close to the ground, not flat, not only slow but also easy to cut your hands.”

Gu Jingyun frowned and got up, looked at the sickle in his hand, and the weeds under his feet, and said to Zhang Liulang doubtfully, “I don’t think I did anything wrong, or would you give me a test?”

Gu Jingyun, who has always been smart and arrogant, actually asked him for guidance, Zhang Liulang stood up, took the sickle in his hand and said contentedly: “Then you can be optimistic!”

Gu Jingyun looked at it for a while, frowning even tighter, and said, “I didn’t see it clearly, you can teach me again.”

Zhang Liulang, who was wiping a sweat and trying to return the sickle to Gu Jingyun, continued to squat down and be a teacher for him.

Li Baolu frowned and looked at Gu Jingyun with disapproval in her eyes.

Gu Jingyun snorted coldly in his heart, but he no longer teased Zhang Liulang, but took the sickle in his hand and said proudly: “It’s so simple, the young master has already learned it.”

Zhang Liulang pouted and said, “That’s what I taught you, you should call me Mr.”

Gu Jingyun looked at him calmly and asked, “I dare to call, do you dare to answer?”

Zhang Liulang opened his mouth, but he was still cowardly under the gaze of Gu Jingyun. The sick man was insidious and cunning. If he forced him to be called Mr., who knows how to retaliate against him afterwards?

Gu Jingyun was satisfied, squatted down and continued to mow the grass.

Zhang Liulang looked at the wild grass in his eyes, and then looked at the two children who were squatting on the ground and could not see their figures at all, and his heart was touched.

He always looked down on Gu Jingyun, because he felt that he could not know anything except reading, and he would be blown away by the wind when he walked.

Don’t talk about farm work, he has never seen Gu Jingyun take heavy things, isn’t this kind of child used for jealousy and contempt?

But now Gu Jingyun, who is like a favorite of the heavens, is squatting on the ground sweating profusely and mowing the grass. He is not for the harvest of the coming year, or even to get enough food, but simply wants to verify what is said in the book and find out a faster and more efficient way. wasteland method.

Zhang Rokuro thinks that such people are disgusting intellectually. When they are still struggling for survival, he can spend a lot of time for this reason.

But emotionally, Zhang Liulang couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.

He bit it, and finally took Zhang Ermei home. When he reappeared after a while, he had a sickle in his hand and looked at Gu Jingyun reluctantly, “How do you cut it?”

Gu Jingyun was taken aback for a moment, obviously not expecting Zhang Liulang to do such a thing.

Li Baolu was very happy and pulled at Gu Jingyun, “Didn’t you draw a drawing?”

Gu Jingyun glanced at Li Baolu suspiciously, then turned to Zhang Liulang and Zhang Ermei and said, “Come with me, I’ll draw the lines for you, you can just cut them accordingly.”

The four children waved the sickle together until the sun went down, and the voices of the adults in the village calling for the children were heard in the distance before they took the sickle back.

Zhang Liulang held the sickle and said to Gu Jingyun: “My family will not be alive tomorrow, I will go to the sea after the tide recedes at noon. In the morning, I will help you to cut it together.”

Gu Jingyun refused and said, “We only work for half an hour in the morning, and we have to go to school to study.”

Zhang Liulang said irritably: “It’s really troublesome for you to study, you’ll be finished in just two days of school.”

Gu Jingyun was silent for a moment, then explained unprecedentedly: “Tomorrow will be tomorrow, tomorrow will be so many, since the plan has been made, it can’t be easily changed. You can squeeze time from other places to do farm work, but you must not have less time for reading and writing. .”

Li Baolu interjected: “You and us also recognize a lot of words, do you want to borrow two books to go back and read? Why don’t you go home with us tomorrow, and let Brother Jingyun find two simple books for you.”

Zhang Liulang’s heart trembled, his palms sweated, and he looked at Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun in disbelief, “Are you willing to lend us books?”

Li Baolu looked at Gu Jingyun, Zhang Liulang’s eyes were also fixed on him, and he swallowed several saliva involuntarily.

Gu Jingyun said lightly, “As long as you cherish books.”

Zhang Liulang’s face burst with great joy, and he promised happily: “Don’t worry, we will definitely not stain the book.”

Zhang Ermei was also very happy, but her happiness was limited. In her opinion, it is good for girls to be literate, but it doesn’t matter if they can’t.

But boys are different. Boys’ literacy shows that they have one more craft, more means of earning a living, and more opportunities to choose from.

Don’t look at Zhang Liulang’s look of contempt for Gu Jingyun, often mocking him for being a sick child, but in fact he has all kinds of envy and jealousy in his heart.

Because Gu Jingyun is literate, no matter how ruthless he speaks, there is always a sense of inferiority in his heart.

Therefore, when Gu Jingyun was willing to teach him literacy, he would let go of his prejudices so quickly, and he would try his best to teach him to dig traps and hunt.

In his opinion, although they were exchanging knowledge, Gu Jingyun was at a loss.

In this day and age, not everyone can read!

Zhang Liulang returned to Zhang’s house happily and decided to treat Gu Jingyun better in the future. He would cover him in the village and would not let him be bullied by others.

But as soon as he got home he was besieged by his brothers.

Zhang Shilang and Zhang Wulang escorted him to Zhang Dalang’s bed.

Zhang Dalang looked at him with a gloomy face, and said bitterly: “Eat what’s inside and outside, if you didn’t run home today to get a sickle to help him cut the grass, I still don’t know that you have colluded with that sick seedling!”

The other brothers also stared at Zhang Liulang with ugly faces. Although they were beaten by Gu Jingyun, it was not his hands, but he designed them. In the end, they still had to apologize to him.

Without Zhang Dalang’s action, the other brothers would have to beat Zhang Liulang. Zhang Liulang hurriedly hugged his head and shouted, “He is teaching me to read, and he has to lend me a book!”

Everyone’s fists stopped, Zhang Liulang immediately shouted: “And the sick child is not as bad as we thought, he, he did that last time because of our first hand…”

Zhang Liulang was a little guilty when he said this, but Li Baolu broke things apart and tried to identify with him. He also knew that they were aggressive at that time, and they did it before they could find out, and it was indeed too much for so many people to beat up a five-year-old child. .

Zhang Rokuro was a participant, and he could sense the ferocity of his eldest brother at that time even in the periphery.

Big brother used to follow his uncles down the mountain to rob and kill people. If it wasn’t for Gu Jingyun’s clever escape through the cracks in the rocks, he might have been beaten to death at that time.

Zhang Liulang knelt in front of the bed, looked up at Zhang Dalang and said seriously: “Brother, we made a mistake in that matter first, and now he has come back with revenge, our two families should be settled!”

Zhang Dalang looked at Zhang Liulang, who was looking at him, and snorted coldly in his heart. He glanced at his younger brothers and asked, “Did he teach you to read and write?”

Zhang Liulang nodded again and again, “He also invited my second sister and me to play at his house tomorrow, and was willing to lend us books.”

The eyes of the other brothers in the Zhang family lit up and could not help but look at Zhang Dalang.

Zhang Dalang knocked on the bed, pondered for a while and said: “Since this is the case, we will settle the matter temporarily, since he is willing to teach you to read, then you should pay attention, go back and teach you a few brothers, let us all Recognize a few words.”

Zhang Liulang nodded again and again and said happily: “Don’t worry, eldest brother, I will definitely try my best to read.”

“Tell my foster father about this and make him happy.” Zhang Dalang was upset when he saw Zhang Liulang’s smiling face, and waved: “Go out quickly and let the second sister come in.”

Although he knew that Lao Liu would not lie, but Gu Jingyun was so smart, maybe he was cheating Lao Liu. He might not be able to notice it if he was a careless person, so he should ask the second sister.

Er-mei Zhang was telling Da-mei Zhang good things about Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu. Of course, the focus was on Li Baolu’s good things.

“Sister Baolu is very generous. She is willing to give my sixth brother and me some delicious food. She is the one who asked the sick seedling to teach us how to read.” Zhang Ermei said happily: “Today, she also mentioned the borrowing of books, Gu Jingyuncai. Promised to lend us books.”

Zhang Ermei has a keen mind and has long noticed the relationship between Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu. Although Gu Jingyun is usually very strong, Li Baolu always listens to him, but sometimes when Li Baolu speaks, Gu Jingyun will listen even if his face is impatient.

Sister Zhang was amazed at Li Baolu’s influence, “Isn’t the sick child listening to that little girl, doesn’t she say she is a child bride?”

The cottage is a mixed bag, and Zhang Damei has heard tragic stories about child brides since she was a child.

“Yes, but everyone in the Qin family loves her very much. She always has candy to eat. Although Gu Jingyun is arrogant, she will let her go.” Zhang Ermei was envious. Isn’t it warm? Why is she doing so well?”

made her want to be a child bride.

Big Sister Zhang said thoughtfully, “Because she met a good family.”

Zhang Dalang had a different opinion from Zhang Damei. After listening to Zhang Ermei’s detailed description of what happened in the past few days, he sneered: “The Qin family is lucky, they found a good child bride.”

In his opinion, the Qin family is a bunch of sinister villains who hide in their belly, and they bought a child bride-in-law with such a profound sense of righteousness.

However, neither Zhang Dalang nor Zhang Damei no longer prevents Zhang Liulang and Zhang Ermei from communicating with Gu Jingyun. They know that there is a world of difference between literacy and illiterate.

After   , they can find their way out faster even if they can’t get along here in the future.

For example, Qin Xinfang, he is so confident in the sin village, isn’t it because he can paint and write by himself even if he doesn’t farm, or fish, or without the support of the capital?

A painting, a word is their income for several years.
