I was engaged in construction in ancient times
Chapter 16 Digging a Pit
The girl in gray was named Xu Ai, and she was also a resident who was willing to move into Xinyang City during the last plague incident.Among the dozens of households who moved here, only she and Dong Yueyun were marriageable girls of similar age. Dong Yueyun was gentle and beautiful, with fair skin and fair skin, while Xu Ai worked all day long, and his skin was dark and tan. Rough, the appearance can only be described as "not ugly."
Compared with each other, Xu Ai felt uncomfortable.
She is diligent and diligent every day, working harder than ordinary men, working in the fields, weeding and catching insects, and never needs help from others, while Dong Yueyun, who looks soft and weak, just calls casually, and a team of men will come to do it for her live.
Everything is done for her, just wait for her to take a basket and sprinkle the seeds easily.
Today it is this person, tomorrow it will be that person... Xu Ai has paid attention to the thick-eyed Sun Yifeng just now, and every time he passes by, he smiles at her. She thought he was a good person—but she didn't expect This guy is also a member of Miss Dong's pomegranate skirt.
Xu Ai snorted coldly in her heart, her heart was extremely depressed, holding her breath in her heart, she couldn't help rushing to Dong Yueyun to squeeze a few words.
"Sister Dong, that was Squad Leader Sun just now, but he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, he does things quickly, and he is so kind to my sister. I think my sister should have good things coming soon."
Dong Yueyun blushed and annoyed her when she heard this: "Sister Xu family, don't talk nonsense, brother Sun is a general under General Duan, how can a country girl like me be able to climb high, don't talk nonsense like this. "
Hmph, I can't afford to be too high, it's because you look down on him, Xu Ai curled her lips, could she not guess Dong Yueyun's thoughts as a girl?She is the one she cares about—Xu Ai turned his head and looked down, looking across the wilderness, he could only vaguely see the heroic figure of the man leading the army practicing guns.
It's really hard for such a weak "village girl" to go up the mountain every day to blow the wind.
Xu Ai pretended not to mention it unintentionally: "Speaking of General Duan, he is mighty and powerful. He made great military exploits. After he came to Yangzhou, he eliminated evil officials and bandits for us. I don't know how many daughters' dream lovers."
Dong Yueyun's blurred eyes suddenly lit up, and she smiled softly and shyly, and said, "Yes, he is really a great hero."
After hearing this, Xu Ai smiled and said: "For a character like General Duan, only our general's wife can be worthy of it. Our wife is the son of the Hou family. I saw my wife from a distance yesterday, and she looks better than us. 'Country Country Girl' is dozens of times prettier, and her aura is like that of the fairy in the painting, we can't even match him with a single finger."
One of us in the east, one in the west, the smile on Dong Yueyun's face instantly disappeared upon hearing this.
Xu Ai felt much happier.
The sun is rising day by day, and the surrounding area is golden.
Duan Shubai was sweating from practicing the gun and wiped his face with a white towel. At this time, a squad leader of the second team who was going to deliver the seeds came to report: "Everyone is back. We have delivered the seeds to every village."
Duan Shubai nodded, indicating that he understood, seeing the squad leader's hesitation, he asked, "What's wrong?"
The squad leader looked a bit unhappy: "Many villagers don't want those corn and potato seeds, saying they don't want to plant them."
"It's a fresh variety, and it's normal for them to be reluctant."
The squad leader's face turned even worse, "Forget it, some of them collected our seeds in person, and when we turned around, they boiled the seeds and shared them with the family."
"General, why should we distribute seeds to them?"
Duan Shubai smiled, and patted him on the shoulder: "The same rice feeds all kinds of people, and the seeds are given to them. What they do is their own decision. We give him seeds only because of the responsibility on our shoulders."
Duan Shubai can only ensure that the territory under his rule will not starve to death, but how they want to live, they have to rely on their own hands to fight for it.
Jiao Chengjun is one of the villagers in Jiaojia Village. Their family is quite special in the village. They are poor and have a large population. They have four sons, one of whom is an idiot. Everyone laughed at him as stupid as his son.
"Are you really going to plant a few acres of potatoes and sweet potatoes? Are these 'round eggs' that grow in the soil edible? Listen to the nonsense of those soldiers."
"They say it's a foreign object with a high yield."
"The yield is high, so did they say how many catties per mu?"
"……No."
"Let us plant things that they haven't grown themselves. I won't do such a stupid thing. I have worked hard for a whole year, and there will be no harvest at that time. Let's cry there."
The old god Jiao Chengjun said happily on the ground: "Our family has a large population, so it doesn't matter if we plant a few acres of land."
The man who talked to him was very angry: "You just wait for nothing!"
In the afternoon, Xiao Yuhe took a nap on the soft couch in the study. After waking up, he looked lazy and his handsome face was a little flushed. He got up and rubbed the center of his brows, walked slowly to the window and opened the two windows. The strong wind blew in, and he suddenly thought that in such a month, if there were no such hot and sunny days in the capital, he would have to wear several clothes.
The wind blew his black hair, and he felt a lot more comfortable. Looking along the mountains in the distance, they were full of greenery and lush greenery.
He obviously forced himself to look far away, but in the end, he accidentally lowered his eyebrows and looked for someone on the gravel avenue not far away.
Duan Shubai held a meeting yesterday afternoon and ordered people to plant peach trees on both sides of the road. No, he is now carrying the iron catalpa and leading the people to dig holes along the road to plant trees.
He was surrounded by four or five soldiers, and several bundles of peach trees as tall as a person were piled up three feet away.
"It's enough to dig the pit this deep." Duan Shubai squatted on the ground, reached into the mud pit to measure it, then grabbed a handful of soil to feel the humidity, then dropped the mud, and wiped the corner of his clothes casually.
Standing by the window, Xiao Yuhe frowned and murmured softly, "It's okay to sweat all over in the morning, but now you're covered in mud. With so many people under your hands, do you need to dig it yourself?"
He finally knew how Duan Shubai got out of that pile of dirty and torn clothes.
Xiao Yuhe lowered his eyes, intending to be out of sight and out of mind, turned around and sat in front of the bronze mirror and combed his hair, and then changed into a light yellow brocade dress and came back, put on a jade crown and sprinkled tassels on his body. The ring rings, and the cinnabar mole between the eyebrows is as red as fire. Under the red spot, the long and narrow fox eyes are extremely lazy and alluring.
He spread a layer of blank paper on the mahogany scroll case, and decided to spend the afternoon in the way of his elegant rich son brother.
There was a scent of ink in the study, he polished the ink absent-mindedly, rolled up his sleeve with his left hand, and the nib of the pen was soaked in the ink, Xiao Yuhe couldn't help but look out of the window again, then looked away angrily, and started to draw with the brush .
Facing a piece of white paper, Xiao Yuhe's thoughts were flying, and he didn't know what to draw. He stared at the white paper in a trance.
A long time passed, and when Xiao Yuhe came back to his senses, the painting on the white paper had already taken shape.
He drew whatever he thought of.
Xiao Yuhe stared blankly at Duan Shubai on the white paper. On the paper was the appearance of the first time he saw Duan Shubai yesterday. At that time, the sun was shining brightly at noon. He stood on the hillside and looked back at him. The phoenix eyes were sharp and powerful, and he stood there like a tall mountain, and the aura around him was enough to shock the surrounding peaks.
Xiao Yuhe had to admit that although Duan Shubai was a reckless man, he was indeed handsome, even if he looked slovenly.When he saw him for the first time yesterday, he was also taken aback.
After a while, Xiao Yuhe blinked his eyes, and when he realized what he had drawn, he blushed and thought angrily: I blame myself for being good at drawing this person. I am even more beautiful.
The eyes couldn't help looking at the painting again, the handsome Duan Shubai was also looking at him in the painting, Xiao Yu let his thoughts fly, and then remembered what happened afterwards, went to the wooden building, lifted the sheets, washed clothes... A picture came to mind.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room changed, and an overwhelming and indescribable smell appeared in the room out of thin air. Xiao Yu and his breathing stopped for a moment, and he folded the scroll slowly.
Xiao Yuhe felt that this was a tasteful painting.
It wasn't until there was only the scent of ink in the air that Xiao Yu and his whole body relaxed. For the first time, he felt that the smell of ink was so good.
The fiery red sun fell from the top of the head, gradually sinking to the treetops on the hillside, Xiao Yuhe looked at the sky, he was going to cook, he thought in his heart, Duan Shubai should be back, he walked to the window Looking at the gravel road, there was no one there. Peach trees with sparse branches and leaves had been planted on both sides of the wide road, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yuhe walked out of the study and passed the corridor with light steps. He casually looked downstairs, but then he was stunned again.
Duan Shubai was still digging a hole, this time he didn't dig on both sides of the road, but dug another hole near the wooden building.
Could it be that the rabbit was reincarnated!You have to dig outside, and you have to dig when you come back! ! !
Xiao Yu and Dongdongdong hurried downstairs, put on jade-inlaid white boots and walked out the door, came to Duan Shubai's side, and asked angrily, "What are you digging for?"
Duan Shubai shoveled out a handful of soil, turned around and saw the aggressive Young Master Jiao, and said casually: "I heard that you like lotus flowers, I will dig a big hole for you, and when the time comes to divert water to plant lotus flowers, isn't it a lotus pond?"
He heard Qiu Ran complaining in his ear today that his young master likes lotus. He dug a lotus pond in Duanfu, Yangcheng with great interest. He just planted lotus seeds, so he packed his bags and came here. I don’t know if his young master has a chance. See blooming and so on.
Duan Shubai knew that he was unkind in leaving Xiao Yuhe in Yangcheng, so he planned to make up for Young Master Jiao, at least let him admire the flowers he likes up close.
Compared with each other, Xu Ai felt uncomfortable.
She is diligent and diligent every day, working harder than ordinary men, working in the fields, weeding and catching insects, and never needs help from others, while Dong Yueyun, who looks soft and weak, just calls casually, and a team of men will come to do it for her live.
