Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 117 It's Finally Over
In the south of the Yangtze River in early April, the vegetation is lush and vigorous, and the willows, which are becoming stronger and stronger, are blowing their branches in the wind, reluctantly saying goodbye to spring, and preparing for the upcoming scorching summer.

The weather is getting hotter, but people's energy is getting stronger.In Hangzhou city in the early morning, several women who were about to go to work in the weaving and dyeing factory were full of energy, chatting while walking, laughing and laughing constantly.

When passing by a private house, a sharp-eyed woman saw an acquaintance sitting by the window, so she warmly spoke up: "Miss Wu, you came early!"

"Well, the sooner you go to work, the sooner you make money." Miss Wu raised her head when she heard the sound, and replied with a smile, "My small workshop is not as expensive as your official workshop, so I can only work a little longer. Even if you earn a penny more, it would be nice to buy a piece of candy for Xiaobao."

As she said that, Lady Wu opened the breakfast she bought on the way, took out a steamed bun and handed it to her son beside her: "Eat quickly, and play after eating."

"Hey, Xiaobao has grown so tall."

The woman stopped and walked towards Mrs. Wu. She looked at the happy scene of the mother and son, and couldn't help but envy in her tone: "It's better for you, you can take your son with you. We like this in the factory I can only go back once every ten and a half months. This time I have been away from home for seven or eight days, and I don’t know what happened to the child.”

Madam Wu lowered her head and rubbed her son's head, and replied: "Isn't Brother Big Niu watching, it will be fine."

Mentioning her husband, the woman curled her lips: "Just him? Forget it, what can you expect from a clumsy elm head? Let alone raising children, he learns slower than others when it comes to planting mulberry and silkworms. He has already started to build a silkworm house, but he can't even plant mulberry trees well!"

Miss Wu smiled and comforted: "Take your time, it will be fine."

"I hope." It was getting late, the woman stopped chatting and continued on her way, "I just hope that he can improve a bit next time I go back."

In the fields on the outskirts of Hangzhou Fucheng, a group of men surrounded an official who was explaining mulberry planting techniques, listening seriously.

Limu said while demonstrating:
"Before planting the seedlings, apply base fertilizer to the ditch dug in advance, mix the fertilizer and sand evenly, then cover with a layer of fine soil, put the mulberry seedlings upright in it, make sure it is straight and then fill with soil, and finally Leveling the land and watering. Every step must be careful, not too eager, otherwise it will easily affect the growth of mulberry seedlings in the later stage."

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy stared at his movements without blinking, raised his head and asked, "After that? When will you fertilize?"

The official replied: "When the mulberry seedlings have sprouted and the new shoots have grown to two or three inches, you can fertilize. Then in summer, when there is more rain and the mulberry trees grow the fastest, you can add fertilizer again. During this period, except for fertilizing the seedlings, do not water. Too much water, just keep the soil moist."

"...two or three inches, fertilize...not too much water..." The young man muttered, holding a wooden stick and scratching on the ground, writing a bunch of ghostly symbols that only he could understand.

"It's serious, you son of a bitch." A man was a little curious, so he leaned over to read what he wrote, "Let me see what you wrote?"

Goudan blushed, stretched out his hand to block it embarrassingly, and said falteringly: "I didn't write anything, big brother, just scribble casually, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen."

Zhao Daniu heard it funny, gave him a teasing look, and sighed: "Look, Goudan is so down-to-earth now. At first, he was clamoring to go back to his hometown with Sun Wang and the others, but he changed his mind within a few days and said he would Stay here. I thought something was wrong with him, it changed so quickly, it turned out that someone introduced his wife to him!"

Goudan lowered his head and blushed like a overcooked shrimp: "I, I am a single man. I can eat enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry. In fact, it is the same everywhere. I saw that the northern policy was more favorable, so I wanted to go back. .Now, now that I have a home, I will naturally not leave..."

Zhao Daniu smiled meaningfully: "As expected, having a daughter-in-law is different!"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the words.

-

"Brother Zhuzi! Wait for me!" Sun Wang quickly caught up with a young man in front and put his hands on his shoulders, "Let's walk together later, otherwise I won't even have a companion along the way. None, it's so lonely."

Zhuzi asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say you wanted to travel with Goudan? Why, he doesn't care about you anymore?"

"Don't mention him!" Sun Wang rolled his eyes speechlessly, "That heartless boy, Goudan, made an appointment to go north and return to his hometown together, but he told me that someone introduced him to a daughter-in-law, and he wanted to stay. Get married, don't leave!"

Listening to the deep resentment in his words, Zhu Zi raised his eyebrows: "Are you envious?"

Sun Wang choked for a moment, and forced himself to say: "Who, who is envious? When I earn money and go back to my hometown, it will be easy to marry a daughter-in-law when I have land and a house? I don't envy him." !"

Zhu Zi couldn't see through his thoughts, but he didn't want to tell the truth, so he followed his words and said helplessly: "Yes, yes, when you return to your hometown, you will be a landlord. You can have any wife you want."

While the two were talking, an official yelled from the front: "We're about to set off soon, hurry up and gather for the roll call! If you don't catch up with today's work team, you'll have to wait for the next batch in three days!"

Hearing this, Sun Wang and Zhuzi quickly stopped talking, and together with other refugees, they rushed towards the place where Limu was.

Looking at the densely packed human heads on the official road in the distance, Gu Yunji breathed a sigh of relief, feeling an unprecedented lightness.

"Yunji, what are you looking at?" Seeing Gu Yunji standing alone on the tower, Su Qi and Cheng Yan also climbed up and stood on his left and right sides.

Gu Yunji stared at the distance leisurely, didn't turn his head when he heard the movement, seemed to be in a trance, and only replied after a while: "Look at the scenery."

The sun in April is dazzling, but not too hot. It just blows off the coolness of the morning, making people feel warm all over.From a distance, the sky is as blue as water, as clean as if it has been washed, and it looks like a good weather.

"Well—the scenery here is pretty good." Su Qi took a deep breath of fresh air, and propped his hands on the city wall comfortably, "Speaking of which, the three of us haven't stayed so quietly for a long time."

Cheng Yan stood quietly at the side, and said: "In the past few months, everyone has been so busy that they are on the construction site and in the government office for a while, and they hardly have to rest. Sometimes it is difficult to even see you, let alone together. Take a look at the scenery."

Su Qi was a little tired from staying, so he stood up and stretched his waist: "But fortunately, everything is over, we are free now, we can see the scenery as we like, and we don't have to worry about all kinds of sudden refugees. .”

Gu Yunji stared into the distance and muttered in a low voice, "Yes, finally, it's all over."

Whether it is to work as a weaver, or to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, or to go north to return to their hometowns, the group of refugees who have plagued Hangzhou and even the entire south of the Yangtze River for several months now finally have their own places to go, and will no longer be a group that may explode at any time. hidden dangers.

Before long, everyone's life will return to peace.
