Chapter 202
It’s hard to be a stepmother
Although he was a noble family, he couldn't help but see and use something like plow when he understood the people's conditions in his previous life.
But no matter how many he has seen, he has never seen this one in Gu Manxiu's hand.
It seemed that it was no different from the plows on weekdays, but Jiang Yichen still saw at a glance that the plow shaft that fixed the plowshare was not as straight as the ordinary plowshare.
Gu Manxiu chuckled, "This is Quyuan Pier, the wisdom of the people in my hometown."
Jiang Yichen knew it. This was the first time Gu Manxiu clearly mentioned her "hometown".
Such a change made Jiang Yichen a little happy, and the look he looked at Gu Manxiu seemed to have a bright light.
I was still worried about his Gaoyuanshan just now, and when I saw his expression, I suddenly curled my lips.
"Mom, didn't you say you wanted to go to the fields? Why are you still staying there?"
The eldest son's sudden anger made Gu Manxiu stunned. Although he was unclear, Gu Manxiu still responded: "Let's go now."
He said to Jiang Yichen again: "I will keep lunch in the pot to warm. If you are hungry, eat something first. I will go to the fields to check it out. It will be difficult to move when the weather is over."
The wasteland is close to the mountain behind the pie. Although nothing has come out of the mountain behind the back in recent years, no one dares to say that there are no wild animals in the deep mountains.
She had heard from Aunt Wan before that there were big bugs appearing before the back mountain.
It is precisely because of this that Gu Manxiu gave up the idea of going to the mountains to pick medicinal materials.
Although you can find some good herbs, it will not be worth it if you even have your life in it.
Jiang Yichen also saw Gao Yuanshan's awkwardness. Although he didn't know what happened to this kid, he still nodded to Gu Manxiu gently.
"It's not safe at night at the foot of the back mountain, remember to come back early."
Gao Yuanshan snorted, "We know, you don't need to remind me."
Gu Manxiu gently patted his head, "What's going on with you kid today? Have you eaten firecrackers?"
Gao Yuanshan is eleven years old this year and thinks he has grown up. Now he has been slapped in the head, and the half-aged boy feels lost face.
He glared at Jiang Yichen fiercely, and ran out with red ears.
Gu Manxiu signaled Gao Changhe to chase after him, then nodded to Jiang Yichen and followed a few children to the wasteland in the back mountain.
Looking at the backs of the mother and son who were plowing, Jiang Yichen couldn't help but squint. He could see clearly when Gao Yuanshan glared at him just now.
The boy seemed to be blaming him? But what are you blaming him?
Jiang Yichen didn't understand for a moment, so he chuckled and shook his head helplessly to wash up.
Gu Manxiu took a few children to the wasteland, but was stopped before he even arrived at the back mountain.
Because the samarite she made before was very useful, now everyone can't help but look forward when they see the fresh things he takes out.
Although everyone has used plows, as farmers, they can still see at a glance that the plows in their hands are slightly different from those they used to use in the past.
"Manxiu, are you... planning to plow the land?"
Gu Manxiu nodded. A few days ago, I cleaned up the grass on the wasteland. Just as I had time today, I also plowed the land on the wasteland as soon as possible.
Gu Manxiu spoke seriously, but the people around him frowned.
"You just take a few children to plow the field?"
Looking at Gao Yuanshan's brother and sister a few half-aged children, some people asked in disbelief.
Looking at Gu Manxiu nodding, someone in the village couldn't help but stand up.
"Manxiu, you can't do this. Although the children of Yuanshan and Changhe are sensible, they are still young. How can they do such a job in plowing the land?"
"Yes, you can't plow the land alone. Are we still there? Let's help you, so don't make things difficult for a few children."
On weekdays, three people and one ox are needed to plow the land. Now when you see Gu Manxiu taking a few children, you have to plow the land. Everyone subconsciously thinks that Gu Manxiu wants a few children to help plow the land.
What's more, Gu Manxiu hasn't driven the cattle yet, so she probably has to let the child drag the plow.
Thinking of this, some people couldn't help but shook their heads and sigh.
I originally thought that Gu Manxiu's stepmother was different from other people's stepmothers, and she treated her own children as her own children.
But now seeing this action, it doesn’t mean to love children. It’s clearly because of how many children in the family are used as animals.
Aunt Wan saw Gu Manxiu's figure from afar, and originally wanted to come and talk to her about family matters.
Unexpectedly, when she was approaching, she heard someone saying that Gu Manxiu planned to let a few children plow the field. Aunt Wan was very surprised.
She felt that Gu Manxiu could not do such a thing, but listening to the villagers' words, Aunt Wan couldn't help but squeeze into the crowd and planned to see what was going on.
However, as soon as he approached Gu Manxiu, he saw Gu Manxiu nodding.
Aunt Wan frowned and immediately pulled Gu Manxiu aside.
Although he didn't know why Miyamoto Hide asked several children to plow the field, so many people watched it, and Aunt Wan didn't want Gu Manxiu to be discussed for this.
It’s hard for stepmother to do it himself. If she puts a handle in the hands of others, how can she live her life in the future?
"Manxiu, what are you doing? Why are you doing so? If you want your children to plow the land for you? If you plow the land today, I will borrow cattle for you at the village chief's house and ask Dahe and his wife to help you, don't make things difficult for the children."
Aunt Wan whispered to Gu Manxiu's meaning, obviously she didn't want others to tell Gu Manxiu's gossip.
Gu Manxiu looked at the worried expression of the son of God and couldn't help but sigh.
"Aunt, you misunderstood. I didn't want the child to help plow the field."
Aunt Wan felt relieved when she heard this, but when she saw Gu Manxiu holding it alone, Aunt Wan couldn't help but worry.
"If you don't let your children help, can you have to plow the land alone? And why can't you see a ox when you plow the land?"
The cows are very precious in the village, and there are only three families in Chenxing Village who have cows.
In addition to the village chief’s family, the other two families also have money in their families so that they can afford cows.
However, the other two families used oxen to pull carts, and only the oxen from the village chief's family was plowing the field. On weekdays, everyone borrowed oxen from the village chief's family.
But Gu Manxiu's direction to the back mountain was clearly heading towards the opposite direction of the village chief's house. How could he look like he wanted to borrow a cow?
"Manxiu, don't lie to my aunt. Although Yuanshan and Changhe are sensible, they are still young after all. Such a young child cannot withstand such a burden."
Gu Manxiu was helpless, "Auntie, you've really misunderstood. I just made a new plow a few days ago, but this plow is a little different from the plows you use on weekdays. The village chief looked fresh and wanted to see if my plow was easy to use."
