The wheat is still drying out, and it will take some time for other saline-alkali lands to be improved.

Su Mo then thought about it and pulled Gu Qinhan out first to show his face. After all, they were all from the Chen family, so she could still trust him.

Therefore, last afternoon, Su Mo asked Mr. Li and the village chief to meet Gu Qinhan. At night, he specifically asked Gu Qinhan to get up early and help catch the pigs.

No, at dawn, Gu Qinhan got up from the bed, neatly folded the new clothes and placed them on the bedside, and put on the old clothes that Su Mo originally gave him.

Su Mo also woke up, put on his coat, squeezed the quilt for Gu Xingnian, and then pushed the door open and went out.

"Are you awake?"

Gu Qinhan had just washed his face. Some of his hair was wet and stuck to his forehead. His eyes were deep and somewhat clear.

"Well, at this hour, they should be arriving soon, so they got up."

Su Mo nodded, raised his hand and yawned.

Seeing this, Gu Qinhan turned around and went back to the bathroom, first helping to pour the water, then wet the handkerchief, and then wring it out.

"Wipe your face first?"

Su Mo did not refuse, took the handkerchief, put the cold handkerchief on his face, and the sleepiness immediately dissipated.

She rubbed her face, listened to the voices coming from outside, and went to open the door without thinking about cleaning her mouth.

Gu Qinhan stopped her, "You clean your mouth first, and I'll do it."

Someone was willing to help. Su Mo was happy before it was too late. He turned around, picked up the prepared wicker and started to clean his mouth.

Gu Qinhan opened the courtyard door, walked out and waited at the door.

Mrs. Li and her husband-in-law Chen Heyun walked at the front, followed by about ten people.

Gu Qinhan was so handsome. The ladies like Mrs. Li didn't think much about it when they saw it yesterday. On the contrary, they kept praising him, and even thought of proposing marriage to him.

Now that I saw him again, he naturally greeted me cheerfully.

Gu Qinhan didn't like to chat with others very much, but yesterday he saw that Su Mo was very kind to them, and he was afraid that his cold face would embarrass Su Mo.

So I laughed a lot at this meeting and responded to everyone’s greetings one by one.

Su Mo also washed up and came out.

When Gu Qinhan saw her coming, he relaxed visibly, and took a step back behind Su Mo.

When the time was almost up, Su Mo chatted with Mrs. Li and the others for a few words, and then began to make arrangements for business matters.

The pigs were kept in a shed outside and they were about to be killed, so they were not fed.

The men went straight to the shed and worked together to catch and tie the pigs, while the women went into the kitchen and started boiling water.

Gu Qinhan was not very gregarious, so he stood behind and watched Chen Heyun and others catching pigs.

The two big fat pigs were quite strong. It took a lot of effort for several men to hold down one of them.

"Get the rope quickly."

This pig needs to be tied up quickly, otherwise it will be tiring to catch it later if it runs away.

Fortunately, a few people moved quickly and tied up the pig's trotters with a rope in a short while, then passed a wooden stick through the rope and shouted to lift it.

The pig was a little unwilling to give up, and kept grunting and meowing, but it still couldn't escape the fate of being slaughtered.

One pig would make more than half of the people very tired, not to mention it was getting late and it would take time to kill the pig later.

Su Mo came over to the shed, took a look, and asked, "How long will it take?"

When Gu Qinhan heard this, he stopped being embarrassed, smoothed down his sleeves, and picked up the big wooden stick next to him that was originally used to lift pigs.

He said to Su Mo, "It'll be fine soon", and then squeezed into the shed.

The people around him were a little confused and didn't quite understand what Gu Qinhan was trying to do. They wanted to ask, but thinking that this was Gu Su's younger brother, they opened their mouths but didn't say anything.

Gu Qinhan didn't waste any time. He picked up the wooden stick and subconsciously used his skills to slap the pig's head hard.

The pig was knocked unconscious before it could even react to run away.

Everyone around was dumbfounded. They watched Gu Qinhan tying the pig's trotters smoothly, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

How can you still catch pigs like this?

Why didn't they think of that?

However, they didn't seem to have the strength to knock the pig out at once.

Shaking his head, the man became more awake, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Qinhan also changed.

This little brother has some skills.

The men shouted and came closer, "Little brother, you go and have a rest while we carry the pig..."

Gu Qinhan was not polite. He had no intention of lifting the pig. He stood up, stepped back and looked in Su Mo's direction subconsciously.

No one is here.

After Gu Qinhan said, "It'll be fine soon," Su Mo went back to the courtyard.

The smile that just appeared on Gu Qinhan's face immediately disappeared, a chill spread out, and the man walking behind shivered inexplicably.

Strange, the sun is out, why do you still feel cold?

As the sun gradually rose in the east, more and more people came to Gu's house to help, and some even brought their children.

The Chen family has done a good job in educating their children. At least there are no naughty children here, and they are all quite reserved. They play together obediently and do not make any noise or make a fuss.

When Su Mo saw it, he went to the room and called Gu Xingnian, helped her put on clothes, tied up two little Tweets, and tied them with a red headband, which was very pleasant.

After she had washed up, she was asked to play with the children.

But the little girl looked left and right, her eyes widened.

"Mom, why didn't Brother Qingzhou come?"

Yes, the little girl is thinking about Chen Qingzhou deep in her heart.

Su Mo felt some strange emotions in his heart.

Wang Taoqing, who was standing next to her with a bulging belly, had a smile on her face, and her joy was visible to the naked eye.

"Your brother Qingzhou and your second brother have gone to invite Master Xie."

Su Mo didn't realize it himself, but his words sounded sour.

Gu Xingnian didn't hear it either. She pursed her lips, stopped playing with the other children, and walked toward the courtyard gate humming.

"Then I'll wait for him at the door."

The little girl was wearing emerald green clothes today. When she was running, her skirt fluttered in the wind. In Su Mo's eyes, she looked like a young cabbage waiting for the pig to come.

Su Mo was shocked by her imagination. She shook her head and forced herself not to think wildly, but the more she stopped, the more she couldn't help but think.

Fortunately, a voice came from the kitchen, finally calling her back to her senses, "Do you have any salt from the Gu family?"

"Yes, I'll bring it to you!"

Su Mo responded quickly and went straight to the kitchen.

With the strength of many people, the meals for about ten tables were finished just before noon.

The first portion of the dishes was carried to the side room and offered to Gu Jingting and the others. Su Mo held the incense and asked Gu Ping'an and his three brothers to follow him.

Once it's done, the banquet will begin outside.

Everyone who comes here brings their own tables. We decided yesterday which house would bring tables and which house would bring long benches.

If they really can't help, they can bring some home-cooked food over. As for the gift money, Su Mo has said he won't accept it, so naturally they won't prepare it.

This is such a happy event and such a good day, there is no need for a scene of pushing and pulling before the banquet begins.

There was no room for more than ten tables in the Gu family's courtyard, so the courtyard door was left open and they were placed directly outside. Three tables were also placed in the living room.

Sitting there were five members of the Gu family, Xie Wenci's family, the village chief's family, and Chen Cihai and Chen Heyun's family.

Chen Lihai and his wife didn't come, and Wang Taoqing was pregnant with the child. Naturally, Chen's father and mother would not make her unhappy.

The two old men knew clearly in their hearts that they were able to come here to feel happy because Wang Taoqing was close to the Su family.
