1209 Fighting for work with the horse?
After killing the pigs in the morning, the women of the Gu family began to clean up the pork in the afternoon.
Sausages, fried crispy meat, lard, and cured meat.
Uncle Gu brought Lu Zheng, Xue qianxun, Huo Junhao, and Meng Meng out of the city to chop wood.
Uncle Gu looked at the children with satisfaction. “I didn’t expect it to still be us grandpas!”
uncle, ” Huo Junhao said, ” I’m not as good as the three of them, but I’m a few years older now. I’m much stronger now. I can definitely carry the firewood back home!
Uncle Gu rolled his eyes at him,”you’re fighting with the horse for work?” Look, even the horse is flaming you!”
Huo Junhao:
Uncle Gu patted him on the shoulder. we’re chopping wood today. I guess you’re the one who has the least firewood. Sigh!
Then, Huo Junhao took out his chopper and hacked at the trees. Unfortunately, it was useless. The four of them had already cut down two trees, but he still showed no signs of falling.
Meng Meng laughed at him and said,”little rat, you’d better go and pick up some dry wood!” Your strength isn’t enough!”
“Brother Meng, you have to call him Lord Huo!” Xue Qianyu said.
Meng Meng: ” hahahaha, right, right, right. I almost forgot. Our little rat has become Lord Huo!
brother Qianqian, ” Huo Junhao said, ” have you forgotten about Huo Junhao who accompanied you at the village at the crossroads? ”
“I forgot,” Meng Meng nodded solemnly.
Uncle Gu laughed out loud. Back then, he was always in the field. He knew that Meng Meng and Huo Junhao had been trying to mess with Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu for a few days, but they ended up being messed with instead.
Lu Zheng’s axe was also smiling.
In this life, the Gu family had changed, but so had he. Xue Er was by his side, Meng Meng had entered the military earlier, and even Huo Junhao had started his official career. Everything was going well.
......
After a whole afternoon of chopping firewood, the carriage had made a few trips, and the small courtyard in the kitchen was full of firewood.
With so much firewood, they could use it until the end of the first month.
At night, Gu Nian brought the cook out to set up a few tables. All the dishes on the table were filled with meat, except for a bowl of cabbage soup and an old pumpkin soup that were vegetarian.
This old pumpkin was pulled back by uncle Gu this time. It had just been planted, and he was planning to sell a wave of them a few days before the new year.
The entire Peng family was eating at the Gu residence. The women chatted with Cai Xiaolian after dinner, while the men drank with the Gu brothers and a few younger ones. The scene was even more lively than during the new year.
The Peng family’s fourth wife was the only one out of the four daughters-in-law who did not enter the military camp. She was in charge of the Peng family’s General Affairs.
She was a little greedy for this pig slaughtering banquet. Thinking that her family would also hold one next year, she asked Zhang Shi.
Zhang Shi didn’t know why, but she didn’t have an appetite today when she saw the table full of meat. She only felt better after eating a few oranges. After hearing fourth Peng’s wife’s words, she told her that the Gu family was planning to set up a farm in spring. The old lady was bored at home and planned to set up a Hill to raise pigs, sheep, and chickens.
When the Peng family’s fourth wife heard this, she thought, hey, this is a good idea. Their family is cooperating with the Gu family to reclaim the uncultivated land in chunnan city, and they’ve been given quite a lot of land. So, she asked the Zhang family if they could cooperate.
Zhang Shi waved her hand. Fourth Madam, you’re making things difficult for me. If you ask me about other things, I can confirm it with you, but this farm is what my old lady wants to do. I don’t even know what the old lady is thinking. Why don’t you go and ask her yourself?
The Peng family’s fourth wife was a little afraid of grandma Gu, so she turned to ask Cai Xiaolian.
Cai Xiaolian also didn’t know what the old lady wanted to do. She only knew that she had this idea.
