Chapter 82
Xu Muzhen returned to the courtyard, found a soup bowl that usually contained soup, filled it with a basin full of white rice, spread some vegetables out of each portion and covered it, making it look like a rice bowl, and then used a
Snap the plate on top to prevent it from getting cold!
She took a few mouthfuls of rice and then arranged for the Wang brothers and Gu Zhao to eat together at home honestly and not to run around. She would be back soon!
Xu Maqian wrapped the food in a piece of cloth, tied it up, and went out!
She hurriedly and slowly arrived at Yu Shihu's residence, wanting to go to the fields with Mrs. Yu to deliver food.
Coincidentally, as soon as she came here, she saw Mrs. Yu locking the door.
Looking at Xu Muzhen walking over, she was tall and well-proportioned, wearing a blue skirt and a plain silver hairpin on her head. She had a fair face and was very beautiful!
Madam Yu was very confused, "Who are you?"
Xu Mu smiled slightly and said, "I am Mrs. Gu Sanniang of the Gu family in the Yushi household group. This is the first time you have met me."
"I am not going to the fields today to deliver lunch to the man at home, so I thought of going with you. Do you mind?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Yu put down her slightly frowning brows.
I thought, she is the Gu Sanniang from the Gu family! So she looks like this!
She looked at Xu Muqian's clear, gentle and smiling eyes, and said with a smile, "So it's Madam Gu Sanni. I don't like to go out, and I don't recognize you either!"
"It's not your fault, it's because our family has been busy repairing the house since we got here, and we never had time to visit!" Xu Muzhen said politely.
"Everyone is busy. Let's save it. Let's go! The field where we deliver food is not close by. Don't let the food get cold!"
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words and then walked to the fields together!
On the way, Mrs. Yu kept introducing the customs and customs here to Xu Maqian.
He also specifically asked about some things in the capital.
"Actually, I'm not very familiar with things in the capital!" Xu Mu explained with a smile.
She didn't want to be asked a question that she didn't know, so she might as well just say that she wasn't familiar with it!
"Not familiar? How could it be possible? Aren't you exiled from the capital?" Madam Yu obviously didn't believe it.
She was thinking in her mind that there was something wrong with what she asked, so she didn't want to tell herself?
"Hey! I'm not afraid to tell you that our family's ancestral home is from Jinling, not from the capital. We moved to the capital as our fathers were promoted to official positions. Unexpectedly, we were imprisoned in less than two months, so I don't know about matters in the capital.
It’s really not clear.”
Xu Maqian told Madam Yu some of the reasons why she came here.
There are also some class divisions here, such as how that family was exiled here.
There is a big difference whether you committed the crime yourself or if you were implicated by others!
Is this a crime committed by one's own family? Is it corruption and bribery, or is it bullying the people and taking human lives indiscriminately?
If people know about it like this, they will be spit on when walking on the street!
Because this is the kind of person the world hates the most!
People like Xu Muxian's family, who have neither committed corruption or bribery nor oppressed the people, but have been simply implicated, can still be regarded as normal people, and others are more willing to associate with such a family!
"Oh! So that's it!" Madam Yu couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in her heart when she heard that Xu Muzian's family was exiled because her cousin's family participated in party strife.
It makes her feel more at ease! At least interacting with her won't cause any trouble!
Whether it is the father-in-law of ten households in the family, or the father of one hundred households in the West District!
It wasn't until their feet were sore from walking that the two of them reached the fields.
Yu Shihu watched from a distance as his wife came to deliver food to him in person, grinning from ear to ear with joy.
Then I felt sorry for her again, why did she come to deliver things by herself so far away!
What should I do if I'm tired? Didn't he send someone home?
Yu Shihu walked a few steps forward quickly, looking at the lady at the end of the field and waving to her.
Then I saw Lin Wuti walking quickly with big and small bags of things. It seemed that no one from each family had come to ask him to bring food!
Yu Shihu shouted loudly, "Everyone, please stop! We are going to have lunch! Meet in two-quarters of an hour!"
As he finished speaking, everyone stopped their tools and walked towards the fields.
Gu Huaijin followed the crowd towards the end of the field and saw the tall Xu Muqian standing there!
The moment she saw him looking over, she smiled brightly and raised her hand to wave to him!
Gu Huaijin was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what he was doing, and trotted towards where Xu Maqian was standing with a smile on his face!
Everyone looked at his actions and booed and joked.
It's different when someone brings food to me. I'm so tired but still have the energy to run forward.
Unlike them, they just walked there to eat and rest for a while!
Gu Huaijin took the lead to run to the ground amidst the boos from the crowd, stood in front of Xu Muchian and said, "Why are you here so far away!"
"Why, you're not welcome!" Xu Maqian said, then sat on the stone nearby and opened the package in his hand!
"Why aren't you welcome? I really want you to come and see me! But I'm also afraid that you'll be tired!" After Gu Huaijin finished speaking, he wanted to reach out and give Xu Muqian a squeeze on his feet.
But looking at her dirty hands, she wiped her body twice and they were still not clean. Finally, she couldn't bear to dirty her shoes and socks!
Xu Maqian felt warm in her heart when she saw his actions, and thought to herself, what a fool!
She took out the kettle from the package, and the water inside was still hot.
I wanted him to wash it with his hands and keep the rest for drinking!
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Gu Huaijin as soon as he washed his hands at one o'clock.
It’s better to keep this clean boiled water and drink it!
After working all day long, I was tired and thirsty. I couldn’t even get a mouthful of hot water. If I was thirsty, I had to endure it or go to the river not far away for a few sips!
Ever since he heard Xu Muqian educate Gu Zhao about the dangers of drinking raw water, saying that there were small bugs and bacteria in it that were drunk into the stomach and entered the head through the stomach to eat people's brains, he couldn't drink raw water.
Got it!
Everyone else went to the river to drink water in the morning, but he didn't drink a drop!
Even Lin Wu was persuaded by him to popularize the dangers of unboiled water, which scared him so much that he endured his thirst until he got home and had a meal of beef!
Father Lin and Mother Lin were so frightened that their son had done so much farm work in the fields!
After washing the dirt on his hands a little, Gu Huaijin didn't eat first. He held the teapot and drank half of the water into his stomach!
If Mu Qian had stopped him and told him that he might not have room to put food in if he drank too much water later, this man would probably drink the whole pot of water!
Touching her somewhat bulging belly, Gu Huaijin did feel that she had drank a little too much water.
But he will eat up this bowl of food without delay!
Looking at the white rice in the bowl and the delicious side dishes, the glutton in Gu Huaijin's stomach was about to escape.
He swallowed hard and took a big mouthful of rice and stir-fried pork with peppers. The aroma of the rice and the vegetable aroma of the stir-fried pork with peppers instantly collided in his mouth!
