Chapter 100 Digging Potatoes

◎It’s good that we have a child. ◎

Brother Cheng's brows and eyes were gentle, watching the group of children eating candy in front of him, he nodded slightly when he heard this, then looked at Gu Zeyu and said: "If we have children, it is natural that we will love them in every possible way. .”

Then I thought to myself, although it is difficult for my little brother to have children, generally speaking, there will still be one or two.

So he is still looking forward to having a child with Brother Gu.

It can be a little brother, a little man, or a little lady.

Thinking that there will be a little doll growing up in front of his eyes, and he will call him Amu, Brother Gu and Father in a childish voice.

How good it feels.

-

A few days later, Gu Zeyu went to the field to look at the potatoes.

He reckoned that the potatoes were ripe, so he was going to dig some out and try them out to see how they turned out.

He was not alone, but went with Brother Cheng.

Since getting married, the two have been almost inseparable.

At this moment, it was Gu Zeyu who was walking in front, carrying a pannier on his back, and there were two small hoes in the pannier.

Brother Cheng followed behind, cheerfully greeting people he knew along the way, obviously not locked at home and not coming out, but at this time it was like a bird out of its cage.Gu Zeyu wanted to laugh when he saw it.

It wasn't until they walked out of the village, some distance away from the houses and farmhouses, and walked on the long dirt road in the countryside, that they breathed a sigh of relief, took another step forward, and the two walked away holding hands.

Gu Zeyu shook Brother Cheng's hand and smiled: "Why are you hooking up again now, didn't you say you don't want to?"

Brother Cheng stared at him with bright black eyes, and asked back: "You asked me on purpose. When I was seen in the village, I would always be told, 'Look at how close that couple is. They are holding hands and walking outside. I'm really not ashamed', my reputation in the village was ruined, Brother Yu told me."

Gu Zeyu is a man of the day in the village, so gossip about him will always be circulated. When he and Brother Cheng are out and about, people will always secretly watch him.

However, although the two of them didn't care about it on the surface, they still didn't like outsiders talking about their lives in their hearts.

After hearing this, Gu Zeyu smiled and said: "You can't cover their mouths and stop them from speaking. As long as they don't speak in front of us, don't worry about it."

Brother Cheng also nodded: "I don't want to worry so much, they are all from the folks in the village."

It's just that Brother Cheng doesn't like those people who say that he and Brother Gu are not a good match, and that he married Brother Gu because of shit luck.

Obviously it was because the two were attracted to each other and fell in love with each other that they were together.

He will prove that he and Brother Gu are a good match, and the two live a good life.

In this way, the two walked slowly under the orange-red sunset in the sky, and the two figures were pulled together for a long time, talking and smiling lightly from time to time, and a warm atmosphere circulated between the two.

Seeing it come to the ground.

Brother Cheng broke away from Gu Zeyu's hand, and ran over excitedly by himself, looking at a large area of ​​wheat in front of him, when the wind blows, there will be yellow waves of wheat, and the almost ripe wheat will smudge the air with a delicate fragrance, which is food The breath smells very good.

There are a lot of melon seedlings growing beside it, spreading on the surface, covering the land with a new layer of green makeup, which is very vibrant.

Then there are rows of potato ridges, and a large piece of sweet potato seedlings, all of which are very dark green, and they look very good.

He spread his arms unconsciously, feeling the breeze blowing over, tickling the ends of his hair, with a big, bright and charming smile on his face.

Gu Zeyu watched Brother Cheng having fun from behind, with gentle eyes and a faint smile on his lips.

Brother Cheng felt the wind of nature for a while, and then turned around to look for Gu Zeyu, "Brother Gu, look, you've grown like this after a few days, it's great."

Gu Zeyu rubbed his head: "With plenty of sunshine, the crops will naturally grow fast. Let's go to the potato field in the north and take you to dig the potatoes. They are probably ripe."

Brother Cheng was quite interested in digging potatoes. He smiled and took out two hoes from Gu Zeyu's back basket, preparing to lead the charge by himself and take Gu Zeyu there.

"Let's go, Brother Gu."

The little brother hopped away.

Gu Zeyu obediently followed behind, squinting his eyes and smiling.

When they arrived at the place, both of them squatted down. Gu Zeyu explained: "Potatoes need to be dug slowly. In fact, it is best to use a rake, which can damage the potatoes the least, but there is no one now, so you must be careful when digging potatoes, otherwise they will be rotten." .”

Brother Cheng nodded, his eyes glowed, and he looked eager to try.

"Don't worry, I'll take it easy."

Gu Zeyu continued: "Dig from the outside, and then slowly dig out the potatoes, so that the whole nest of potatoes can be wiped out in one go."

Continuing to nod his head heavily, Brother Cheng said: "Understood, let's dig."

Gu Zeyu saw that he was looking forward to it, so he didn't continue to explain the precautions. Try it, and you will know how to dig potatoes quickly and well.

Just say: "Let me demonstrate it to you, and you follow along."

As he spoke, he took the hoe in his hand, and removed the potato stalks first. These are a large piece, blocking the view, just leave a tap root, then look at the tap root, dig from the outside, and after a while, the potatoes were dug, and the soil was dug When it was loose, I started to pick it up.

This potato plant ended up with four or five potatoes, some as big as a fist, some as big as an eggplant, and some as big as an egg.

But even such a harvest made Gu Zeyu happy. In the first year of planting, he was afraid that the potatoes would not adapt to the land here and would not bear much fruit.

Brother Cheng happily picked up a big potato and said, "It's quite heavy. It's also a dish to fry a potato and serve it with pepper."

He said that he also tried it with the hoe. He didn't dare to strike too hard, so he moved very slowly and lightly, from the periphery to the middle. He was very happy when he finally dug out the potatoes. He quickly put down the hoe and touched the soil with his hands. touching potatoes.

Who knew that he finally touched a long, soft and sticky thing, which frightened Brother Cheng, quickly withdrew his hand, frowned and said, "It's not a potato, I won't touch bugs." Alright."

As he said that, he carefully poked with a hoe and rummaged the small piece of land. Not only did he dig out the potatoes, but there was also a big bug.

The whole body is blue and white, and the thickness of fingers is slowly wriggling.

Brother Cheng was really afraid of such bugs, so he hid behind Gu Zeyu with a scream, and said tremblingly with his fingers: "Brother Gu, bug, it's fat and has many legs."

Gu Zeyu cut off the bug and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it's dead, it's not the bug that always bites people, it's just a pest, look at this potato, half of it is missing, probably it was eaten by it .”

As he spoke, he showed him only half of the potatoes left. Potatoes are usually oval or round, but this one is indeed missing a small half, and there are obvious signs of being bitten.

Seeing that the worm was dead, Brother Cheng got better, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that it's ugly and sticky to the touch, which makes people uncomfortable, so I don't like it when I see it. , not to mention I touched it when I was digging potatoes in the soil just now."

Then he recalled and said: "When I was young, when I was playing under a tree, a worm fell on my hair. The worm was black and red, and it had barbs on its body. Anyway, I got it in my hand. After a while my hands became red and swollen, and from then on I was afraid of bugs.”

Gu Zeyu's thoughts are very strange. It's normal to have a shadow in his heart when he was a child, and to be afraid of bugs when he grows up, but is it true that he is afraid of all bugs?

So I asked him: "Brother Cheng, are you afraid of any insects?"

Brother Cheng said: "I'm afraid of those insects with thick fingers that can wriggle and look ugly."

Then Gu Zeyu asked, "There are often vegetable worms in the green vegetables, are you afraid of that?"

Brother Cheng thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I'm really not afraid. When I saw them, my first thought was to catch them and feed them to the chickens and ducks at home."

Gu Zeyu laughed, because he was afraid of those ugly red and black bugs.

He didn't say any more, just said: "Let's dig some more potatoes, and send some to the uncle's house and your father's house later."

Brother Cheng also agrees.

The two simply stopped talking, and worked together to dig potatoes.

After about an hour, the sky gradually darkened, and in the evening, Potato also dug a basket, and it seemed that it was almost done, so he stopped.

Gu Zeyu greeted Brother Cheng and said it was time to go home.

Brother Cheng nodded, stood up and stretched, and said with a smile, "I haven't worked for many days, and my waist is sore after squatting for so long."

Gu Zeyu smiled and said, "Then let me rub your waist?"

Brother Cheng didn't want it, he pushed away Gu Zeyu's hand, and said with a smile: "Your hands are dirty, we have been digging potatoes for so long, and they are covered with a lot of soil, how can you rub them for me? My clothes are all soiled."

Even though I have to wash the clothes when I go back today, brother Cheng is not willing to leave a palm print on the clothes on the waist.

Gu Zeyu raised his eyebrows and said, "I know you like to be clean, so I'm just saying, let's pack up and go home."

Brother Cheng held it from behind and asked Gu Zeyu to carry a basket of potatoes on his back. He was also worried: "There are a lot of potatoes, should I get some for you? We also took cloth bags today, just packed some Potatoes, you can also pack some more potatoes."

Gu Zeyu let out a 'hum' and got out of his nostrils.

He carried it steadily, and proudly said: "Then you are underestimating Brother Gu, these potatoes are not enough for me to make, and I can carry another basket."

As he spoke, he shook his back basket, indicating that he had more than enough.

Brother Cheng let out an 'ah', and hammered his shoulder, "Don't be brave, just move your back, and don't knock your back, be careful that the potatoes will come out."

Then Brother Cheng took a bag of potatoes by himself, put the hoe in it, put the bag on his back, and said, "Brother Gu, let's go, go home."
