Major General Through the Upper Gate

Those carpenters and carpenters went directly to see his uncle. Fortunately, because Cheng Wei's blueprints were still pending, he just paid attention to some high-quality wood and did not start construction.Otherwise, according to this new size, I am afraid that the things made can only be scrapped.

"Brother Wei, where did you find so many people?" Cheng Da looked at the carpenters and carvers, he only glanced at their hands and knew that these must be experts.

"I found it in the town, because the house built this time is of a different style, so I specially asked a few experts to come over and take a look." Cheng Wei explained, feeling helpless in his heart, thinking that his uncle must be thinking about him in his heart prodigal.

"Hmph, come in." Cheng Da glanced at Cheng Wei, after all, he didn't scold him in front of outsiders, but let people follow him in, and several of them took the blueprints for a closer look.

Cheng Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hastily left his uncle's house.

Stones and wood have also been brought in one after another this week, and they are piled up on the edge of the bamboo forest. They have cleared more than half of the piece of bamboo used to build the house when they built the simple shelter, and now they have all the hands. Cleaned up the place in one day.

They don't need to worry about the drawings, and they don't need to worry about all the materials for building the house now. When everything is ready, the day will just come.

Cheng Wei followed them and dug for a long time, because it was in a bamboo forest with dense bamboo roots, so it was very difficult to dig.Originally, the weather was still cold in early spring, but after digging for a while, everyone was extremely hot.

"Cheng Wei." Gu Xizheng had already taken off his coat. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Go back and make lunch. We'll dig for a while before we go back to eat."

"That's fine." Cheng Wei also took off his coat, and he carried his own clothes in his hands, before going back to cook.To cook food for more than [-] people is too busy for him alone. Before the start of construction, he told Wei Xiaopai and his uncle that if they have time before the busy season, they will probably ask them to come and help. .

Most people would not refuse such a big event, Cheng Wei secretly took a notebook and wrote it down, and converted the delayed labor into paper money and gave them to them in the wages.

On the night when Cheng Wei and his new house started construction, Tonghua Village ushered in the first spring rain.It had been drizzling all night, but it just moistened a layer of soil.

"God knows how to sympathize with you." When Cheng Wei came over with tea the next day, Guanshi Liu joked with him with a smile.

Cheng Wei also laughed. It is indeed easier to dig the foundation today than yesterday.

The start of construction depends on the date, and the laying of the foundation stone also depends on the date, but the date of laying the cornerstone is set relatively late, around the Dragon Boat Festival, so there is plenty of time.

Seeing that the Ching Ming Festival is coming, the official family came two days ago to send human hair seeds.Cheng Wei also went to claim his share.Thanks to the sixth prince's blessing this year, he doesn't even have to wait in line to farm cattle.

"It may be too late to go back to your house this year during the Qingming Festival..." Cheng Wei yawned and said to Gu Xicheng while eating.

It started to rain in the spring now, and the foundation was not dug quickly. After the Qingming Festival, we had to hurry up and raise the seedlings, followed by various spring seeds.It seems impossible to return to the north in time for Qingming.

"It doesn't matter, it's the same when we go next year." Gu Xicheng picked up a piece of meat for him, and because the Qingming Festival was approaching, he gave the craftsmen a holiday, and came back ten days later to start work again.

The two finally had a meal alone, and Cheng Wei, who had been busy for more than ten days, relaxed a little, and was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

"Eat quickly, and go to sleep in the room after eating." Gu Xizhen urged him from the side.

"Well."

There are many trivial matters to build a house. Although there are many things that they don't need to worry about, they still need the two of them to look over and make up their minds.Originally, Cheng Weihuan had agreed with Liu Guanshi that the wages would be settled in January, but Liu Guanshi cheerfully said that the official family surnamed Qin had already settled, and even if the final construction period was overdue, Cheng Weiwei would not get paid.

Cheng Wei often told Gu Xicheng that they were building a new house, but they seemed to be doing short-term labor for others.

After all, the Qingming Festival is done together in the village. Except for a few families who need to leave the village to pay homage, the rest will clean all the tombs with the village head within two days.

During the two days of Qingming, the entire Tonghua Village was filled with incense and fireworks.When Gu Xizhen woke up one day, he found that the tree behind his house was quietly blooming.

The pink and white flowers bloom quietly in the spring rain. The new leaves on the branches have not yet grown, but the flowers bloom first.Gu Xicheng looked at it for a while, then took a bucket to feed the chickens.

Because a lot of them were killed during the Chinese New Year, after the start of construction, sometimes Cheng Wei would catch one or two as an emergency when he couldn't buy meat, and now there are only four or five left.

Cheng Wei didn't wake up until he finished cooking breakfast, Gu Xicheng took the hoe and gently closed the door and turned to go to the field.

He knew that Cheng Wei was not very happy during this time. After returning from Yunjing Country, Cheng Wei became closer to him, probably because he knew that his family was with him and his heart was at peace, so his pursuit of him became more and more obvious.

He had already asked Uncle Hua to get it years ago. He only said that Cheng Wei was injured in the army, and he didn't want Cheng Wei to have a child so soon.

After hearing the reason, Uncle Hua also agreed to help him hide Cheng Wei about Jiejiecao, but this Jiejiecao is harmful to fertility, if used too much, it may cause infertility, and if used too little, it will not achieve the effect.

Everyone's constitution is different, and Uncle Hua can only give an approximate weight, so Gu Xizheng should use it carefully.

Gu Xizheng agreed, he carefully wrapped the knotted grass powder with a cloth, and hid it in the kitchen cabinet.It's just that he hasn't used Cheng Wei yet. After all, all the excuses are just that he still wants to find a chance to confess to Cheng Wei.

If he had a relationship with Cheng Wei, then in this different world, Cheng Wei must not be able to find someone else.Gu Xicheng recalled what Cheng Wei said to him in Xiahe Village that day, and his heart still wavers.

He likes Cheng Wei, there is no doubt about it.Gu Xizheng's eyes sank, and he thought to himself more than once, it would be great if this was on Blue Star, if Cheng Wei had no fertility, how could he bear it until now.

But Cheng Wei likes children, this is what he can't bear the most.

Thinking of depriving a person of the right to be a father, Gu Xizhen still couldn't get over this hurdle, probably because he was also born in Blue Star, where reproduction is difficult, and he also loves children very much in his bones.

As soon as Gu Xicheng went out, Cheng Wei got up. He frowned and looked at the closed door, and the doubts in his heart could not help but spread.

If he could find reasons for Gu Xizheng's restraint before, but last night he was so active, Gu Xizheng still refused to move him.

Cheng Wei closed his frantically jumping right eye, something was wrong.

Sitting on the bed, Cheng Wei tried hard to recall the details of him and Gu Xizheng since they met. At first, Gu Xizheng only pretended to form a bond with him because he wanted to find a place to live, and he only pretended to be Gu Xizheng. It is a shield to prevent the government from forcing marriages.

Later, the two got together for a while, starting from the kiss that night when Gu Xizheng came back from working as a part-time job at Liu's house, Gu Xizheng began to treat him differently.

What exactly is the problem, Cheng Wei thought while biting a lock of his hair.

He couldn't help himself to think about the worst. Could it be that Gu Xizhen didn't actually have that kind of affection for him, and everything was just to accommodate his brother.

During the period from the craftsman's vacation to his return to work, Cheng Wei and Gu Xijiao had already plowed the field and planted the seeds.The two of them seized the time to turn over that acre of dry land, and took advantage of the warm weather to buy all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and planted them at intervals in the gaps between vegetables that were not completely out of season.

The acre of dry land was divided into three parts by Cheng Wei this year, one part was used to grow corn, the other part was used to grow sweet potatoes, and the rest was used for various vegetables.

He planned to go to the town to catch another brood of chickens to raise after a while. If the piggies were what he wanted, it would be fine to raise two more chicks.

Because of the doubts in his heart, the relationship between Cheng Wei and Gu Xijiao has become much colder these days.Although it is not to the point of not talking, but there is still a slight alienation.

When going to bed at night, he always sleeps against the wall, and he refuses to be next to Gu Xizhen, and his smile on weekdays is much less.Occasionally frowning, also appear preoccupied.

"Brother Wei, did you quarrel with Gu Xiaozi?" Because the craftsman came back, Wei Xiaopai came to help cook at noon, so he caught Cheng Wei and asked in a low voice.

"No." Cheng Wei said two words while chopping firewood, his expression was indifferent, but Wei Xiaopai knew that he was suffocated at a glance.

"What's there to be angry about?" Wei Xiaopai glanced at him, and he said while washing the vegetables, "We all watch it on weekdays, but Gu Xiaozi let you go everywhere, what else can you two disagree with?" of?"

When Cheng Wei heard that the ax had split into the air, he dropped the axe and walked over to help Wei's father wash the vegetables, refusing to say anything.

Wei Xiaodi smiled and said: "The young man is very angry, don't worry about anything, just talk to him, it will always make sense."
