Chapter 2

"Fourth brother, you wake up!"

The next day, Su Wan was woken up by a cry of surprise.

"Mom, come quickly, Fourth Brother is awake!" After the girl shouted excitedly, she asked Gu Yuan nervously, "Fourth Brother, are you really awake? How do you feel now? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?

?

I’m going to find a doctor right now to take a look at you…”

"Yanyan, no need, I feel very good now, there is nothing uncomfortable." A clear and magnetic voice came into my ears.

"Are you really awake?" A surprised woman's voice came into my ears.

Then came the woman's voice, which was a bit more gulping, "Just wake up, just wake up, it'll be fine!"

This voice, Su Wan remembered, was Gu Yuan's mother, Mrs. Chen.

"Fourth brother, you must be hungry after lying down for so long. Mom is going to make you something to eat." Mrs. Chen looked at Gu Yuan, her face full of joy. After taking two steps, she turned back.

He looked at Su Wan with a face that couldn't hide his happiness, "Where's Wan Ya? You haven't gotten up yet?"

Su Wan had already put on her clothes and opened the door. She looked at Mrs. Chen with a pair of beautiful, clear eyes and said, "Sorry, I got up late."

In fact, her current identity is because she calls Chen "mother", but she tried just now and couldn't say it out loud.

Mrs. Chen didn't care at all. She held her hand cordially and said with a smile on her kind round face: "Wan Ya, you are really the lucky star of our fourth child. The doctor said before that the fourth child is not good.

You can wake up at any time, and sometimes you can’t wake up, but as soon as you arrived at our house, the fourth child woke up!"

"When the fourth sister-in-law came, the fourth brother woke up. Moreover, the fourth brother had a clear mind and no problem with his body at all. He didn't become a fool or become paralyzed after waking up like the doctor said. Fourth sister-in-law, you are the fourth brother's

The great benefactor is also the great benefactor of our family!" The girl with a round face like Chen looked at Su Wan, her round almond eyes smiling like crescent moons.

It was obvious that he was sincerely grateful to Su Wan.

Su Wan smiled politely, "Maybe I was lucky. The medicine I took before was working when I came..."

Mrs. Chen patted Su Wan's hand affectionately, "Wanya, you came late last night and didn't have the chance to introduce your family to you. This is your sister Yan Yatou. When you arrive at our Gu family, you can feel at ease with us.

When your family takes root, neither your mother nor your fourth son will treat you badly."

Su Wan didn't know how to answer for a moment. She actually had no intention of staying in this house. She saved Gu Yuan last night purely because of her itch.

But now that she thinks about it, she doesn't know anything about the Daqing Dynasty, which has no history. The original owner was also a girl who never left the house. Now that she has left the Gu family, she doesn't know where to go.

It's better to stay first.

Su Wan pretended to be shy and responded softly, "Yeah!"

Mrs. Chen said to Gu Yuan with a face full of joy: "Fourth child, you stay here and talk to Wanya. Yanyan and I will go make you some food!"

Chen took Gu Yan out.

Su Wan looked to one side. Although he was only sixteen years old, Gu Yuan was already tall and tall. Perhaps it was because he had been studying and had not seen much sunlight. Gu Yuan's skin was cold and white, and his handsome face was sharp and angular.

, with a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a pair of dark eyes, which makes him look many times better than those modern male stars.

But for some reason, Su Wan always felt that there was a trace of vicissitudes hidden in his eyes.

His aura was also calm and appropriate, but he didn't look like a sixteen-year-old boy at all.

Su Wan was stunned for a moment.

"Do you want to go home?" Gu Yuan asked again when Su Wan was in a daze.

Su Wan was startled. Did Gu Yuan want to return the goods when he woke up?

Gu Yuan understood her thoughts and said: "My mother bought you as a gift for me. If you don't want to stay in our house, you can leave without worries.

The things my mother gave to your family are considered as my apology and I don’t have to give them back."

Because of these words, Su Wan had a better impression of Gu Yuan.

She shook her head firmly, "I don't want to go back. Since my parents can sell me once, they can sell me a second time when I go back. What's more, my family won't have enough food to eat."

When Gu Yuan heard her words, a smile appeared on his lips and he said, "Don't worry, I will let you eat."

Su Wan felt a little fluttering in her heart. In the memory of the original owner, the Daqing Dynasty had experienced successive famines in the past two years. Floods in the north, severe drought in the south, and the Tatars were looking for trouble at the border. By now, the fields were starved to death. The original owner had even

I have heard rumors that some places have begun to exchange food for food.

Therefore, in such famine years, food is particularly precious!

Su Wan looked at Qingjun's young man and found his words quite touching.

After Gu Yuan finished speaking, he returned to the room and sat at the desk. After sharpening the ink, he picked up the brush and drew something on the paper.

Su Wan also entered the room and subconsciously looked at the layout of Gu Yuan's house. Gu Yuan lived in the east wing, which should be the largest room in the Gu family.

In addition to the old wooden bed where Gu Yuan slept, there was a bookshelf occupying half of the wall against the inner wall. There were many books on the bookshelf, as well as a large desk.

From the memory of the original owner, Su Wan knew that books in this era were precious things. The original owner, like Gu Yuan, was a scholar. Not only could her father not be able to afford books, he had even sold all the previous books in the family in exchange for food.

But Gu Yuan still owns so many books, which shows how much the Gu family values ​​Gu Yuan.

It's a pity that the Gu family also emptied their money because they provided for Gu Yuan to study and bought her as his daughter-in-law to celebrate Gu Yuan's happiness. Now the only valuable things in the Gu family are Gu Yuan's books.

In the memory of the original owner, Gu Yuan's family was the poorest family in Gujia Village, and the house was also the shabbiest, because all the money in the family was spent on Gu Yuan's education.

After looking at the layout of Gu Yuan's room, Su Wan poked her head to see what Gu Yuan was doing.

Just then I saw the black ink mark leaving a big circle on the paper, with wooden boards separating it at regular intervals.

Su Wan could tell at a glance that this design was a drawing of a water wheel.

She quickly understood what Gu Yuan wanted to do. She remembered that when the original owner followed Matchmaker Zhang to Gujia Village yesterday, he passed a big river outside Gujia Village.

As Matchmaker Zhang said, Gujia Village relies on this big river to make its life easier than in other places.

But it's just a few, because the weather is severe, the water level of the river has dropped, and there are cliffs nearly ten meters away from the water level on the shore.

Although there are small roads dug by the villagers to go down to collect water, the water collected is only enough for daily use, and the little water brought back by manpower to irrigate the fields is only a drop in the bucket and does not help at all.

Su Wan stood beside Gu Yuan and looked at her for a while. After Gu Yuan put down his pen, he turned his head and met her eyes.

She was a little embarrassed about being caught, so she asked aloud: "What did you draw?"

Although Gu Yuan had no expression on his face, he patiently explained to her, "This is called a waterwheel. I've seen it in a miscellaneous book before."

"Do you plan to make it according to the drawings?" Su Wan asked again. In fact, she had just estimated in her mind that it would be a big project to install a waterwheel on the cliff by the river.

Gu Yuan nodded, "Well, I plan to give it a try. This drought may last for a long time."

Su Wan listened thoughtfully to his words. Gu Yuan didn't look like a sixteen-year-old boy in his movements, could he?

He also changed the core?

At this moment, Chen's voice came from outside, "Fourth brother, Wanya, we're going out to eat soon."

Gu Yuan said to Su Wan calmly: "Let's go!"
