There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 305
[Chapter 305, goodbye]
Peach Blossom Village.
Grandma Gu stood on the Peach Blossom Mountain, quietly watching the people below who came to reclaim the wasteland one after another. Seeing her younger brother coming with a steaming medicine bowl, she took the medicine bowl and drank it without changing her face.
“Sister, this is the candied fruit I bought in the county seat, you can put it in your mouth to get rid of the bitter taste.” Gu Jian stretched out his hand and handed a bag of candied fruit to Granny Gu.
Gu Granny shook her head: “Drinking the medicine for so many years, I have long been numb to the bitter taste, so I don’t need to eat any candied fruit.”
Hearing this, Gu Jian’s expression darkened, and he silently took the candied fruit back.
Granny Gu cast her eyes down the mountain again: “It’s been a few months since I moved here, and it’s only been a few days since I saw some popularity. By the way, did anyone hear that who bought the land under the mountain?”
Thinking of asking about it from the village chief News, the corners of Gu Jian’s mouth rose a little stiffly.
The ancient mother-in-law glanced at it and was puzzled.
Brother, are you laughing?
Do they know the person who bought the land? And he is quite liked by his brother?
Gu Jian has always looked at people with a straight face. Since he escaped from the fire and ascended to heaven, he has not smiled again. ferocious. Seeing the distressed look in his sister’s eyes
, Gu Jian immediately suppressed the raised corners of his mouth, and returned to his usual indifference: “My sister knows the person who bought the land, she is the girl who asked for medicine back then.” His
eyes widened: “Daohua?!”
Gu Jian nodded: “That girl’s father was promoted to the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture, and the whole family followed her.”
Granny Gu also showed a rare smile on her face: “Speaking of it, , Our fate with this girl is really not shallow, if we hadn’t met her last time, the two of us would have become drowning ghosts.”
Then, he paused.
“It’s also because she met Xiao Jiu’s son.”
Thinking of Xiao Yeyang’s appearance, Granny Gu’s eyes shone with a burning light: “…it made up for some regrets in my heart.”
Gu Jian looked at his sister distressedly, wanting to Soothe the pain in her eyes, but know that there is nothing she can do.
The siblings stood silently and fell into a brief silence.
At this time, at the foot of the mountain, a little girl in a green dress appeared in the sight of the two of them.
Seeing that Qin Xiaoliu had recruited hundreds of young and strong men to reclaim the wasteland so quickly, Daohua’s face showed satisfaction.
“Brother Liu, this is the pattern of Zhuangzi I drew. I have marked the greenhouses, granaries, gardens, cowsheds, chicken sheds, duck sheds, goose sheds, and sheep sheds that need to be built. You can find a house builder. Take a look, master, if the picture is correct, build Zhuangzi according to my picture.”
“By the way, in addition to Zhuangzi, we will build some small farmyards for tenants. We have provided accommodation, so we don’t have to worry about finding it.” Tenants.”
It is true that Shahe County is too poor, and she has learned about it in the past two days, even the refugees don’t really want to stay in Shahe County.
Daohua took the house layout map of Zhuangzi and explained it carefully to Qin Xiaoliu. After talking for about half an hour, she confirmed that he understood her meaning and thoughts before letting him go.
Seeing that Qin Xiaoliu was looking for the builder with the blueprint, Daohua raised his head and glanced at Peach Blossom Mountain.
But only two or three days later, the peach trees on the mountain had more and bigger buds.
“Come on, let’s go up and have a look.”
Daohua asked Wang Man’er to take the visiting gift that she had prepared early in the morning, and then walked towards the mountain.
Although Taohua Mountain covers a large area, it is not particularly high, and it is less than a hundred meters from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. However, because there is no road, Daohua and Wang Man’er climbed for almost half an hour before reaching the top of the mountain.
“How long has it been since this mountain has been visited by people? There is not even a road.” Daohua stood on the top of the mountain, looking out of breath at the thatched courtyard not far away.
Wang Man’er replied: “I heard that the peach trees on this mountain produce astringent and sour fruits, and the surrounding villagers don’t like to eat them. Except for greedy children who come to pick some, adults hardly go up the mountain. So, Naturally, there is no way.”
Panting for a while, Daohua patted her dress, and led Wang Maner towards the only thatched courtyard on the top of the mountain.
“Peach Blossom Temple!”
Seeing that there was still a plaque hanging on the door of the thatched courtyard, Daohua immediately smiled.
The strange monk has a strange temper, but he is very similar to Xiao Yeyang in one thing, that is, he loves poverty.
“Grandma Gu?”
Dao Hua stood outside the courtyard door, stretched her neck to look in, and called out tentatively.
Did not hear the answer, Daohua shouted again: “Guaihe” Thinking that it would be impolite to call the monk strange, Daohua immediately changed his mouth: “Master Weird?”
Still no one answered.
Wang Man’er: “Girl, I’m afraid we came at an unfortunate time, and no one is at home.”
Daohua pointed to the steaming teapot in the yard: “There must be someone, and the fire in the stove is still burning.” She said with a puzzled face. , “Could it be that I made a mistake? Isn’t it Granny Gu and Master Wei?”
At this moment, there was a ‘cough’ sound from the main room: “The courtyard door is open, come in by yourself.”
Daohua’s eyes lit up, Gently pushing the courtyard door more than one meter high in front of him with his hand, the courtyard door opened with a ‘creak’ sound, and then walked in lightly.
Behind her, Wang Man’er was speechless when she saw her girl acting like a thief.
As soon as the two of them walked into the courtyard, Gu Jian walked out of the hall with a blank expression on his face.
“Strange master, I’m Daohua!”
Daohua instinctively raised her paw and waved at Gu Jian.
The corner of Gu Jian’s mouth twitched: “.I’m not blind.” After saying that, he was silent for a moment, “Come in.” Then he turned and went into the room.
Daohua wiped the sweat that didn’t exist on her forehead, and muttered, “It’s getting more and more scary.”
“Don’t come in yet!”
Gu Jian’s voice came out again, Dao Hua immediately acted cleverly, and quickly said: “Come in, come in.” Then she ran in with her skirt in hand.
Wang Man’er: “.”
“Grandma Gu!”
Looking at Granny Gu who was sitting in the room, Daohua immediately stepped forward with a smile and saluted
. Looking at the cheerful little girl in front of her, she asked softly, “How do you know we live here?”
Daohua: “When I came to buy land last time, I saw a strange master on the boat, so I said hello to him. He didn’t seem to hear it.”
Gu Jian glanced at Dao Hua, looked at Gu Granny and said, “I said, why did I hear someone calling me last time? I thought it was an auditory hallucination.”
Dao Hua said curiously: “Grandma Gu, why are you here?”
Granny Gu smiled, and said softly, “Because this is our hometown. When people get old, they always return to their roots. No, I’m back.
” Dazed: “Grandma Gu, are you from Peach Blossom Village?” Granny
Gu nodded, “Ah Jian and I were born here, but we left here after we were born.”
coughed up.
Seeing this, Gu Jian stood up anxiously, walked to Granny Gu’s side three steps at a time, and patted her on the back.
Seeing Granny Gu’s heart-rending cough, Dao Hua stepped forward worriedly: “Grandma Gu’s illness has not recovered yet?”
Gu Jian pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.
Grandma Gu coughed for a while, she got better, raised her hand and shook it, signaling to Gu Jian not to take pictures: “The root cause of my illness has been with me for decades, and it won’t get better.”
Daohua worried: “It’s strange . The master’s high medical skills can’t heal well?”
Grandma Gu smiled bitterly: “My cough is caused by being caught in the sea of fire that year. My lungs were damaged by the smoke and cannot be healed by manpower.”
Daohua moved her lips and blurted out to ask why they were caught in the sea of fire. , Then I felt bad again, twitched my tongue, and said: “Grandma Gu, I have pickled pears there, I will bring you a jar when I come back in a few days, and then let the strange master make rock sugar and honey for you Stewed pears, this can relieve coughs.”
Grandma Gu smiled: “Thank you for your kindness, I have also eaten pears stewed with rock sugar and honey, but it doesn’t have any effect, so don’t waste things.”
Daohua hurriedly said: ” Try it, even if it doesn’t relieve your cough, it’s good for you to eat it as dessert.”
Sensing the concern in Daohua’s eyes, Grandma Gu smiled and nodded, not rejecting her kindness. Daohua said again: “Grandma Gu
, do you still remember my grandmother?” After Zhuangzi is built, I will bring my grandmother to stay here for a while, and then you two can chat and be company.” Hearing this, Gu Jian’s eyes lit up. When I was in the temple before, people would come to chat with my sister from time to time, but since I left the temple, he was the only one beside my sister. But he is also a taciturn one. Grandma Gu smiled immediately: “Okay, I miss your grandmother a lot too, she is a very talkative old man.” (End of this chapter)
