After the beginning of spring, the little girl's cough got better, but when she fell asleep at night, she still coughed a few times from time to time, and it didn't get rid of the root cause. The medicine was used too hard before, but now it doesn't work. Lu Ming sent it You can't eat too much loquat dew, so you can only raise it slowly.

As the saying goes, spring water is as expensive as oil.

However, the weather this year is very strange. The rain has not stopped since the beginning of spring, and the rain on the day of the beginning of spring fell directly until the end of February.

This continuous spring rain is good for the people in the town, except that it is inconvenient to travel, and the wetness is annoying everywhere, but for the farmers, it is too worrying.The rain in this early spring is icy cold, not to mention that it is not good for working in the fields, and the seedlings of the crops cannot grow.

Gu Ci left the village now, and his life is considered stable, so he didn't pay attention to these things, but the second and third uncles came to the town to find work, and brought some food and firewood to the three of them by the way When talking about this with a sad face, Gu Ci suddenly remembered that this year was actually a year of severe drought.

Speaking of which, the big pits she asked everyone to dig for wild boars in Nanshan last year helped the people of Gujia Village to store more water in the spring to prepare for the drought in summer and autumn.

Peasants are used to living on one-third of an acre of land. This is the time of spring plowing, and the strong labor force in the family usually does not leave home to find work. It can be seen that the weather is not fair, and her grandfather took her words to heart.

"Second uncle and third uncle came to town to find good jobs?"

The second uncle Yingyun is simple-minded, and he rarely talks on weekdays. When Gu Ci spoke, he didn't know what to say, so he went to see his younger brother and said, "I come to this town less often, but the third one comes more often."

The third uncle Yingfeng was careless and not in a hurry, "For those of us who don't come here often, we just go to the pier to watch, and when a cargo ship comes, we will move the goods for others."

He wasn't in a hurry, but Gu Ci was in a hurry for him, "Then it's too unsafe, if there are no merchant ships passing by that day, wouldn't you just wait there for nothing?"

Li Yingfeng nodded, and added: "Elder sister, don't rush to the front for us, the pier in the town is big, and there are many goods and few goods, but it's okay if you can't get work for a day. "

It is a good thing that the third uncle is tolerant, but Gu Ci thinks farther than him. It is raining every day, and the water level in the river has also risen a lot, and the merchant ships passing by will definitely be affected.Besides, with so many villages below Yunxia Town, since her grandfather knew the weather was bad and wouldn't let her son put his hopes in the crops, there must be others thinking the same way.

The most important thing is that Gu Ci clearly knows that this year's crops will not be a good harvest, whether it is summer harvest or autumn harvest. She hopes that her uncles can find a long-term and stable job in the town.

"Second Uncle and Third Uncle, you go to the pier first this afternoon to have a look, and then come to the house to finish dinner later, when I will clean up Abao's house, you will squeeze with Abao today, and wait until you have finished eating. After dinner, I'll take you to meet Brother Chunxiao and see if he can arrange a more secure job for you..." Gu Ci paused, and then said: "By the way, Grandpa said that this time I will let you How long have you been out?"

The third uncle shook his head, "That's not to say, your grandfather was worrying unnecessarily there, saying that God might not reward us with food this year, that's why he asked me to come to town with your second uncle to find work."

"God's temper is unpredictable." Gu Ci didn't dare to preach to the two uncles, deliberately pretending to be joking, "Don't think that grandpa is just worrying, after all, he is more experienced than young people in these things. Some, you must listen to his old man."

The second uncle smiled shyly at Gu Ci, and echoed, "I think what Eldest Sister said makes sense."

Both the second brother and the niece said so, so Li Yingfeng had no choice but to think like this, but they were all old men, and they asked the niece to help find work, so they felt a little embarrassed, "Big sister, you are a girl, always It's not good to ask you to trouble others, and it's not good to owe them favors. Let's find a way to find a job by ourselves. "

"Third uncle's words are too outlandish. Don't worry, Brother Chunxiao is a real person. He doesn't have that ability, and he won't look for work for you in my favor. If you need it, you're welcome."

The second uncle glanced at his third son, and then looked at Gu Ci, "Eldest sister, I will trouble you. The second uncle has never been out of the house and has little knowledge, but if he wants to go out, he still needs to earn some money to go back to be safe." ..."

"That's natural." Gu Ci refused to let him be polite, and made a decision, "Then let's talk about it like this. I will go out to kill pigs later. If the two uncles are tired, I will take them with me first." You go to Abao's house to rest, and now Jiaojiao is also going to play with Aunt Bangen."

"No, no, no." Hearing this, the two hurriedly got up, "Since you still have to go to work, then we won't stay any longer, and come back later."

"That's fine." Gu Ci didn't force it. Although they are relatives, they are not really a close family after all. Gu Ci also understands their discomfort, so he doesn't force it. "Then later, the two uncles just Just come here, and leave your luggage at home, so you don’t need to take it away.”

When she came back from slaughtering the pig in the afternoon, Gu Ci specially brought back two catties of pork belly and a pig's head. She entered the door with her front foot, and the little girl rushed over from the other side, followed by Wen Siyi and Aru, two followers.

Wen Siyi is also a person who can't be idle, but she can't get along with those fastidious young ladies in Jia's house, so she always looks for abuse, and comes here to argue with the little girl when she has nothing to do, which is not a rare visitor.

A few days after Aru Lichun, sunflower water came. When sunflower water comes, it means that the little girl is going to grow up. Aunt Gen couldn't control her granddaughter, so she begged the little girl to come over and teach her embroidery to calm down.This time, she originally sent this beautiful little aunt back.

Finally, after entering the door, seeing Gu Ci cleaning the pig's head, he didn't want to leave immediately, and said cheekily: "Did the eldest aunt know that I'm coming here today, and made me something delicious?"

Gu Ci greeted them one by one, and joked with her with a smile: "Yes, Eldest Aunt knew you were coming today, so she made special preparations."

"You send the little dwarf home every day, and my aunt will prepare it for you? Sure enough, fat people are different, and their skin is fatter than ordinary people." This fat girl usually sweetly calls the little dwarf aunt, and calls her sister. , causing her to be a generation lower than the little dwarf, and Wen Siyi has long been annoyed at this fat girl, and sneered at the fat girl whenever she had the opportunity.

This Miss Wen has a lot of background, and Aru is ordered by her parents every day not to be presumptuous, so she dares to give her a little bit of that title, or just like now, she rolls her eyes behind her back, anyway She didn't dare to yell back.

"Miss Wen, don't make fun of Aru. I heard from her mother a few days ago that she hasn't eaten meat for a long time." Gu Ci now sees this Miss Wen more and more pleasing to the eye. After getting along a lot, she realized this. Ms. Wen and her own little girl have somewhat similar temperaments, "By the way, is Ms. Wen eating dinner here today? However, there will be a lot of people in the family for dinner, and my two uncles will also come. I'm going to apologize to you."

Of course, her greater selfishness was because Miss Wen's goal in life was to hug a beauty like Lu Ming, and she couldn't wait for it.Although now she knew that young master Lu had no other thoughts about her little girl, but she was not at ease if she didn't get married.

"Since you have guests coming, I won't eat." Wen Siyi felt a little regretful. Gu Ci's food was delicious. Thinking of this, she became jealous of the little girl again—every good thing was spoiled by this The little dwarf took it, why didn't he have such a good sister?

Gu Ci didn't leave her behind, and while he was busy talking with them for a while, Wen Siyi tactfully bid farewell.

Wen Siyi left, and Aru went home with her, so Gu Ci asked her to entrust a letter to Gu Chunxiao by the way, so as not to be abrupt.

When the second uncle and the third uncle came back later, they bought some pens, ink, paper and inkstone for A Bao.After buying everything, Gu Ci complained politely before accepting it.

After eating, the little girl accompanied Abao to do homework at home by lighting an oil lamp. Now that Abao has been promoted to a higher level, the task will be heavier. In addition, there will be a lot of senior brothers who will go to Qiuwei in September this year. For reference, the atmosphere in the whole school is very solemn, and Abao is affected by the atmosphere, and he studies with all his strength.

Gu Chunxiao's family knew from Aru that Gu Cihui would bring his two uncles there, and they ate dinner more than usual.When Gu Ci led the people over, the tea and melon seeds had already been set up in the room.

There are not many pleasantries between men, and after greetings, they start talking about business.

Gu Chunxiao didn't put on those tricks, "I do have jobs here. The jobs in the restaurant come and go, and they don't last long. They recruit workers throughout the year. But you also know that a restaurant guy is not a good job, and the money is small. Be angry, so those who are willing to come are some young apprentices who can endure hardships, and they want to be able to be in charge of things one day in the future."

"If the two uncles are willing to come, I definitely welcome them, but I'm afraid you won't be able to do this job. If there is a better choice, I don't recommend coming to the restaurant."

Gu Ci has helped in a restaurant, so she knows a little bit about this industry, and she knows that Gu Chunxiao is telling the truth. In fact, she does not approve of the two uncles going to help in a restaurant. "Brother Chunxiao is thoughtful, you have connections in town Guang, is there any job introduction suitable for my two uncles?"

Gu Chunxiao frowned and thought for a while, "The two uncles just said that you were planning to go to the dock to move goods?"

The third uncle nodded, "We farmers, there is no other, but we have a lot of strength. If Old Nephew Gu can introduce us to a safe job of moving goods, we brothers will be very grateful."

Gu Chunxiao waved his hand, then looked at Gu Ci, "Sister, you might as well ask Boss Lu about this matter, his rice shop has to ask someone to help load and unload the goods every day."

After mentioning this point, Gu Ci remembered that according to the way of her previous life, Lu Ming planned to prepare a small granary in Yunxia Town to store grain, but she had forgotten about it.

"Brother Chunxiao's words reminded me." Gu Ci's eyes lit up, but looking at the sky outside, it must be difficult to come here today.

They chatted for a few more words and got closer, Gu Ci took the two uncles home.
