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

There are many disadvantages of using fire to open up wasteland. The biggest one is that it is prone to fire. Once the fire is uncontrollable, it will become a forest fire if it spreads.

The Qin family can only use four people, two of them are children, it is too difficult to contain the fire, even if they have made a fire belt.

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 hurt innocent people, Qin Xinfang resolutely rejected the proposal of the two children.

Therefore, Gu Jingyun, who was extremely smart and bold, planned to go it alone, and of course he would bring along his only accomplice, Li Baolu.

Li Baolu looked at Gu Jingyun seriously for a while, and followed him to the wasteland. She is very familiar with that look, isn't it that the bear child believes that even eight horses can't pull back one thing?

In order not to be left behind and to be able to monitor the development of the situation at all times, Li Baolu could only agree to spend half the 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 and find wild vegetables, but ran to open up wasteland quickly and efficiently, Zhang Liulang resolutely gave up his hunting career and went to watch.

Zhang Ermei, who is deeply in love with Zhang Liulang's brother and sister, and who is inseparable from Meng, happily came together. So when Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun were waving their sickles profusely, Zhang Liulang and Zhang Ermei were standing aside and pointed out, "It's too slow. Now, can’t you be faster? The edge of the knife is slanted down, close to the ground, not flat, not only slow but also easy to cut your hand.”

Gu Jingyun frowned and got up, looked at the sickle in his hand, and at the weeds under his feet, and said to Zhang Liulang in doubt: "I don't think I did something wrong, or you can test it out for me?"

Gu Jingyun, who has always been smart and proud, would ask him for advice. Zhang Liulang got up in a daze, took the sickle in his hand and said proudly: "Then you can watch it!"

Gu Jingyun looked at it for a while, frowned even tighter, and said: "I didn't see clearly, please teach me again."

Zhang Liulang, who was wiping off his sweat and wanted to return the sickle to Gu Jingyun, continued to squat down to be his teacher.

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

Gu Jingyun snorted coldly in his heart, but stopped teasing Zhang Liulang, but took the sickle in his hand and said proudly: "It's so simple, I have already learned it."

Zhang Liulang pursed his lips and said, "That's what I taught you too, 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 under Gu Jingyun's gaze, he was still cowardly. The sick man was insidious and cunning. If he forced him to call him Mr., who knew how he would retaliate against him afterwards?

Satisfied, Gu Jingyun squatted down and continued mowing the grass.

Zhang Liulang looked at the weeds all over his eyes, and then at the two children squatting on the ground who couldn't see their figures at all, and his heart was touched.

He has always looked down on Gu Jingyun, because he thinks that he can do nothing but read, and that he will be blown away by the wind when he walks.

Not to mention doing farm work, he has never seen Gu Jingyun carry heavy things, isn't such a child just for jealousy and contempt?

But now Gu Jingyun, who is like the proud son of heaven, is squatting on the ground and mowing grass profusely. He is not doing it for the next year's harvest, or even for having enough food. He just wants to verify what is said in the book and find out more quickly and efficiently method of land reclamation.

Rationally, Zhang Liulang finds such people annoying. When they are still struggling to survive, he can spend a lot of time for this reason.

But emotionally, Zhang Liulang couldn't help feeling admiration.

He bit it, and finally took Zhang Ermei home, and when he reappeared in a while, he held a sickle in his hand, and looked at Gu Jingyun with a face of reluctance, "How do I cut it?"

Gu Jingyun was taken aback for a moment, apparently he did not expect such a move from Zhang Liulang.

Li Baolu was very happy and teased Gu Jingyun, "Didn't you draw the blueprint?"

Gu Jingyun glanced at Li Baolu suspiciously, then turned to Zhang Liulang and Zhang Ermei and said, "Come with me, I will draw the line for you, and you can cut it accordingly."

The four children waved the sickle together until the sun went down, and they took the sickle back when they heard the voices of the adults in the village calling the children from afar.

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

Gu Jingyun refused, saying: "We only work for half an hour in the morning, and we still have to go to school."

Zhang Liulang said irritably: "You scholars are really troublesome. Such a little work can be done without two days of school."

Gu Jingyun was silent for a moment, and explained for the first time: "Tomorrow will be tomorrow, and there will be so many tomorrows. Now that the plan has been set, it can't be changed easily. You can squeeze time from other places to do farm work, but you must not spend less time studying and practicing calligraphy." .”

Li Baolu interjected: "You have also read a lot of words with us, do you want to borrow two books to read back? Why don't you go home with us tomorrow and ask Brother Jing Yun to find two simple books for you."

Zhang Liulang's heart was shaken, his palms were sweating, and he looked at Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun in disbelief, "Are you willing to lend us a book?"

Li Baolu looked at Gu Jingyun, Zhang Liulang's eyes were also fixed on him, swallowing several mouthfuls involuntarily.

Gu Jingyun said lightly: "As long as you cherish books."

Zhang Liulang's face burst into great joy, and he happily promised: "Don't worry, we will definitely not dirty the book."

Zhang Ermei was also very happy, but her happiness was limited. In her opinion, it was good for a girl to be able to read and write, but it didn't matter if she couldn't.

But boys are different. Boys' literacy means that they have an additional 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 ridiculing him as a sick child, but in fact he has all kinds of envy and jealousy in his heart.

Because Gu Jingyun was literate, no matter how harsh he spoke, he always felt inferior.

That's why when Gu Jingyun was willing to teach him how to read, he let go of his prejudices so quickly and devoted himself to teaching him how to dig traps and hunt.

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

In this day and age, not everyone can read and write!

Zhang Liulang happily returned to Zhang's house, and decided to treat Gu Jingyun better in the future. He will protect him in the village and will not let him be bullied by others.

But as soon as he returned home, he was besieged by his brothers.

Zhang Silang and Zhang Wulang escorted him to Zhang Dalang's bed.

Zhang Dalang looked at him with a gloomy face, and said bitterly: "Eat the food inside and out, if you didn't run home today to help him mow the grass with a sickle, I didn't know that you had colluded with that sick man!"

The other brothers also stared at Zhang Liulang with ugly faces. Although they were not beaten by Gu Jingyun, but by his design, they still had to apologize to him in the end.

Without Zhang Dalang's action, the other brothers would beat Zhang Liulang. Zhang Liulang hurriedly held his head and shouted: "He is teaching me how to read, and he still wants to lend me books!"

Everyone's fists stopped, and Zhang Liulang immediately yelled: "And the sick man is not as bad as we thought, he, he did what he did last time because we made the first move..."

Zhang Liulang was a little guilty when he said this, but Li Baolu broke the matter up and discussed it with him. He also knew that they made a big advance at that time, and they did it before they found out, and it was really too much for so many people to surround and beat a five-year-old child. .

Zhang Liulang was a participant, and he could sense the ferocity of his elder brother even in the periphery.

The eldest brother followed his uncles down the mountain to rob and even killed people. If Gu Jingyun hadn't slipped away cleverly 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 were at fault for that matter first, and now he has come back with revenge, so let's settle the matter!"

Zhang Dalang looked at Zhang Liulang who was staring at him, snorted coldly in his heart, glanced at his younger brothers and asked, "Did he teach you to read and write?"

Zhang Liulang nodded again and again, "He also invited me and my second sister to his house to play tomorrow, and he is willing to lend us the book."

The eyes of the other Zhang family brothers all lit up, and they couldn't help looking at Zhang Dalang.

Zhang Dalang knocked on the bed, pondered for a while and said: "Since this is the case, our matter will be settled for the time being. Since he is willing to teach you how to read, then you should pay attention and teach you a few brothers later, so that we can all learn to read." Recognize a few words."

Zhang Liulang nodded again and again, and said happily: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely work hard to read."

"Talking about this to the adoptive father will also make him happy." Zhang Dalang was upset when he saw Zhang Liulang's smiling face, and waved his hand: "Hurry up and let the second sister come in."

Although he knew that Lao Liu would not lie, but Gu Jingyun was so smart, he might have tricked Lao Liu. He might not notice it if he was careless, so he should ask his second sister.

Zhang Ermei was telling Zhang Damei good things about Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu, of course the key point was Li Baolu's good things.

"Sister Baolu is very generous. She is willing to give some delicious food to me and Sixth Brother. It is she who taught us how to read." Zhang Ermei said happily: "It was she who brought up the matter of borrowing books today, Gu Jingyun. He promised to lend us the book."

Zhang Ermei has a keen mind and has long been aware of 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 full of impatience.

Sister Zhang was amazed at Li Baolu's influence, "The sick child actually listened to that little girl, didn't she say that she is a child bride?"

There are mixed fish and dragons on the cottage, and Damei Zhang has heard many tragic stories about child brides since she was a child.

"Yeah, but everyone in the Qin family loves her very much. She always has sweets to eat. Although Gu Jingyun is proud, he will let her in." Zhang Ermei envied her, "Sister, didn't you say that being a child bride-in-law will be beaten and you won't have enough to eat? Isn't it warm? Why is she living so well?"

It made her want to be a child bride.

Zhang Damei said thoughtfully: "Because she met a good family."

But Zhang Dalang had a different point of view from Zhang Damei. After hearing Zhang Ermei's detailed description of what had happened in the past few days, he sneered and said, "The Qin family is lucky to have found a good child bride-in-law."

In his opinion, the Qin family is a nest of insidious villains hiding traitors, and to buy such a child bride-in-law who understands righteousness is like a toad bumping into a white swan by accident.

However, neither Zhang Dalang nor Zhang Damei stopped Zhang Liulang and Zhang Ermei from interacting with Gu Jingyun. They knew that there was a world of difference between being able to read and not read.

After learning how to read, even if they can't get along here in the future, they can find a way to survive faster when they go out.

For example, Qin Xinfang, he is so confident in Sin Village, isn't it because he can paint and write by himself even if he doesn't farm, fish, or support from the capital?

One painting and one character is their income for several years.
