Major General Through the Upper Gate

Major General Gu said that he has never been so poor in his 35 years of life experience. He really doesn't have a copper coin, and even the clothes he wears are given by others.

Cheng Wei hadn't touched a single bite of the white porridge he ate during the past few days of his illness, he asked casually a few times, only to find out that the white rice for the porridge was borrowed from Daddy Wei next door.But since he got sick, he and Cheng Wei lay on the same bed by a blessing in disguise, and that night he knew that Cheng Wei had hidden two lumps of money under the bed board.

Naturally, he would not tell Cheng Wei that it was not safe to hide the money there, and the two silver coins were probably the last belongings of the family, and they would not use them unless it was absolutely necessary.

As a man who has been eating soft meals for a few days, Gu Xizhen felt that he should find a way to make money.

"It's not particularly lacking..." Cheng Wei was taken aback by his question, and answered him nonchalantly.He hid 20 taels of silver under the bed, which was his retirement allowance.In fact, there were 50 taels in total at the beginning, and now there are only so many scattered flowers left. He is not going to use that money unless it is a last resort.

"When does the summer harvest start? If it's not urgent, I plan to go to the town tomorrow to find a part-time worker." Gu Xizheng put down the bowl and said.

Based on his understanding of the world in the past few days, it is unlikely that he would get rich overnight with such a poor and empty net worth.Besides, he is not interested in becoming king in this other world, so he might as well study more on the cultivation techniques of crops when he has that time.

"Your body is not stable yet, let's talk about it in a few days." Cheng Wei looked at him and said hesitantly.Ever since Gu Xizheng fell ill, he had no choice but to divide the bed into half of Gu Xizheng's. During the day, when he looked at lively people, he would always have a low fever at two or three o'clock in the morning.

Cheng Wei didn't dare to tell Gu Xizhen, because when he got up in the middle of the night to fetch water to cool him down, Gu Xizhen never woke up, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Fortunately, the next day, Li Zheng brought good news to the two of them.

"Brother Wei! Is anyone home?" When Li was calling him outside the door, the two were having breakfast.

"Yes, yes." Cheng Wei, still holding the chopsticks in his hand, hurriedly responded and walked out.

"Have you had breakfast?" Li Zheng talked to him outside the door without going in.

"Yes, I just ate. If Lizheng doesn't mind, why don't you come in and have some?" Cheng Wei let people in.

"No, I'll come here and tell you about the field. This is your land deed. The two of you have two acres of paddy fields and one acre of dry land. The official said that the things in the field will not be collected. You can do whatever you like. .”

"Why are there so many?!" Cheng Wei happily took the land deed and checked it over and over again. It was really two mu of paddy fields and one mu of dry land.

Gu Xizheng, who came out with a glance at Lizheng, said with a smile: "Thanks to Gu Xiaozi, he is originally from Xiaqian Village, and he already has two acres of land under his name. In the first half of the year, Dilong turned over in Xiaqian Village and this person disappeared. After a few months, I now know that he has come to the south, and the land in the north will be cancelled, and the land will be re-allocated to him in our village. You have no land, and the two of you signed a contract. The officials think you are a For those who have been discharged from the army, I will give you an acre of dry land."

Cheng Wei's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, it was a lie that Gu Xizheng came from the north, and now that he really answered what he said, he couldn't help feeling nervous.

"Thank you Lizheng, if you don't mind, come in and have some breakfast before going back." Gu Xizhen put his hand on Cheng Wei's shoulder and took the conversation.

"My old man won't go in. It's the same when we drink wedding wine another day." Li Zheng said with a smile, and left with his cigarette stick.

"Gu Xijiao, we have land!" Cheng Wei held the two land deeds, so happy that he didn't know what to say.Fortunately, in the past few years, there have not been any high-ranking officials in the ten miles and eight townships. Half of the existing fields in their villages are owned by officials, which is why it is so easy to allocate them.

Gu Xizheng surrounded the people into the room before saying: "Hurry up and eat, let's take a look at it later."

"Ok!"

The two hurriedly finished their breakfast and went to see the land mentioned in the title deed.The two acres of paddy fields are actually planted with rice, and the ears of rice are full and drooping. It looks like it will be harvested in less than half a month!There were only some melons and vegetables planted on that acre of dry land, and several of them were out of season.

Cheng Wei immediately went home and picked up the hoe, and cleared out the out-of-season loofah seedlings. By the way, he erected poles for the crumbling eggplants and lowered the branches.

"That can't be pulled out! It's a bitter gourd, and it can stay for a while."

"Well, look, this leaf is different from the loofah seedling just now...the one over there is a potato, and the edible part grows underground..."

Gu Xijiao took care of the field like Cheng Wei, and followed him to get to know the existing melons, fruits and vegetables. After clearing half of them, the sun had already risen very high.

Seeing Cheng Wei's sweaty face, Gu Xicheng dragged him back home.There is a shortage of medicine and medicine in this world. If Cheng Wei falls ill, even if there is land in front of him, he will not be able to cultivate it.

"We'll come back later, you see everyone else has gone home." Gu Xicheng said seriously, dragging those who refused to go home.

Cheng Wei originally refused, but looked up and saw that it was already noon.He was very excited when he came out, and he didn't remember to bring a straw hat for the two of them out. Now both of them were sweating profusely, and it was only when he straightened up that his chest felt tight and hurt again.

"I was impatient." Cheng Wei finally compromised, he went to the field to pick some cucumbers, picked up the hoe and returned home with Gu Xizheng.

The sun was very strong at noon, Cheng Wei hurriedly made Gu Xijiao's clothes before the sun set.Two sets of bunts, very convenient to wear to work.Although the fabric is the worst kind, it hurts to the touch, but it is just right for work.

Wait until winter, then go buy a piece of cloth and make him a new one, Cheng Wei stared at the two new clothes and thought.

Cheng Wei picked a tender cucumber and made it sour with vinegar. He ate it with great relish, and when he saw that Gu Xizheng had only chewed two pieces, he covered his mouth and frowned.

"What? It's too sour?" Cheng Wei ate another slice. Although there was no sugar at home, it tasted a bit astringent, but he didn't put too much vinegar.

"No." Gu Xizheng shook his head, his degenerated sense of taste made him not sensitive to taste, but just now he felt that his teeth suddenly seemed a little soft?

When the sun was not so strong in the afternoon, Cheng Wei put a straw hat on his head and took a bamboo tube of water, and went into the field.

In one acre of dry land, except for a small half of seasonal vegetables, the other half of which is sweet potatoes, and the rest are potatoes.Cheng Wei stared at the lush sweet potato seedlings, and then at the large handful of loofah seedlings that had been cleaned up. He suddenly felt that it was time to raise some poultry or livestock.

"Gu Xichao, let's take this back." Cheng Wei pointed to the discarded melon seedlings and weeds piled aside. He was holding a bundle of fresh sweet potato vines in his hand and a large handful of loofah seedlings in his arms.

Gu Xicheng glanced at him and told him to put down the one in his arms first.He connected two sturdy loofah seedlings end to end, tied a large handful of seedlings together with weeds, and carried them on his back.

"All right."

Cheng Wei pursed his lips as he watched him, and with only the small handful of sweet potato vines in his hand, he wobbled home in the twilight.

In the middle of the night, Cheng Wei was woken up in a daze from the heat. He subconsciously touched the forehead of Gu Xizhen beside him, and he had a fever again.

He rubbed his eyes and got out of bed to light the lamp, brought over the basin prepared by the side, yawned and put the soaked veil on Gu Xicheng's forehead.

Just as he habitually twisted another veil and was about to wipe the sweat off his neck, the person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed his wrist.
