Chapter 136 Looking at this
Seeing this, Gu Wan suddenly doubted whether she could really grow good vegetables. Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Wan threw the hoe away without saying a word, and even thought as she walked that it must be the cause of the hoe. She went back to ask if there was a smaller hoe, otherwise how long would it take her to turn the land?
Not to mention turning the soil, my palms are going to get calluses from holding the hoe for a while, and my arms feel like they are about to be dislocated.
When Gu Wan opened the door, she saw Liu Qingcheng holding a wash basin. He placed the wash basin on his legs, with his hands on the edges of the basin.
Many things here are either made of bamboo or wood.
The wash basin in Liu Qingcheng's hand is made of wood, and it can be seen that it has been used for a long time.
It's covered with patina and is shiny black.
Gu Wan withdrew her gaze from the washing basin and looked at Liu Qingcheng, but saw that she looked away unnaturally, tucked the non-existent hair behind her ears, and touched the hair on the back of her head.
"Won't you let me come in and sit for a while?"
"Look at me, come in!"
Gu Wan moved aside to let Liu Qingcheng come in, then closed the door.
After Liu Qingcheng came in, he began to look around.
Although she was from the village, she had never come to Fang Ping's house to play because of the adults' instructions.
Before their family built a new house, people had to take a detour to get to this place. After the new house was built, most villagers only went to the infirmary.
This is also the reason why Liu Qingcheng looked around curiously as soon as he came in.
"Please sit down first. I'll go get you a cup of tea." Although Gu Wan got up late, it was actually only a little after six o'clock.
In the summer, it is already dawn at around 4 o'clock. In order to get more things to do, the villagers basically get up at dawn.
There is no sun at this time and it is still relatively cool in the morning.
Gu Wan took two stools from under the eaves and placed them in the yard, asked her to sit down first, and then turned and went into the kitchen.
Fortunately, I have bought everything these days, otherwise I wouldn’t even be able to pour out a cup of tea when you come to my house.
When Gu Wan brought out the tea, Liu Qingcheng was placing the wash basin at her feet. When she saw her coming out, she stood up slightly, took the tea and took a sip:
"Why are you home alone? Why don't you go out for a walk?"
"I don't know anyone in the village, and I don't know what to do if I go out alone."
"That's true." She paused for a moment, then said with interest, "You don't know the villagers, but many people in the village want to get to know you."
When she said acquaintance, of course she meant being familiar with each other.
Gu Wan dragged a stool over, looked at her in surprise, and sat down.
"You don't think I'm kidding?"
Is not it?
"Of course not. You don't know how famous you are in our village, if it weren't for this house."
She pointed at the house in the distance with her chin. "Everyone has come here a long time ago."
Gu Wan knew something about the villagers’ taboos about this house, so she smiled and said nothing.
"You should go out more often. It's so boring to stay at home every day. Besides, you don't get along with those educated youth. If you don't go out more, you won't be able to find anyone to help you if you have any problems in the future."
This is indeed true. As the old saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor.
Gu Wan was used to a lifestyle of not disturbing each other in her previous life, so she seldom went out. Now, after hearing what Liu Qingcheng said, she finally reacted.
I have no relatives or friends where I am now. What should I do if something really happens?
Moreover, Gu Wan also wants to quickly integrate into this era, learn more from everyone, and make herself more cutting-edge and powerful.
"I understand, thank you for reminding me."
Liu Qingcheng waved his hand and said, "What's the big deal? As long as you don't mind me talking too much, that's fine."
"There's nothing much to do in the village. I've been at home since I graduated from high school last year. The people of my age who are good friends are either married, taking care of the family, or working. I'm the only one who's idle."
She curled her lips in self-mockery.
Gu Wan couldn't respond, and it would be inappropriate to say anything.
Liu Qingcheng didn't intend for Gu Wan to say anything to him, he just came to the point.
"I just finished washing clothes and didn't want to go home, so I came to your place to be lazy. What were you doing just now?"
"I'm just about to open up the land at the back and plant some vegetables."
"Oh, what kind of vegetables are you going to grow?" She stood up and looked towards the main room.
There is a small door behind the main room that leads directly to the backyard.
Seeing that she wanted to go and take a look, Gu Wan also put down the cup in her hand and stood up:
"I want to grow some peppers, garlic, water spinach and so on."
Liu Qingcheng frowned and said, "Don't you want to grow the water spinach seedlings yourself?" It is not the time to plant water spinach yet.
Gu Wan nodded and scratched her hair a little embarrassedly, messing up a few strands of her hair in the braid.
"Yeah, but I don't know what to plant."
"But it's true. Normally we plant in June and September. Now it's July, and the weather is neither here nor there. I really don't know what to plant."
She followed Gu Wan into the main room. After entering, she didn't look around anymore. When she reached the backyard, she saw the hoe that Gu Wan had thrown on the ground and raised her eyebrows.
Gu Wan followed her gaze and smiled awkwardly.
"Do you still have a hoe at home?"
"Ah? Yes, there is!"
"Then go and get one." Gu Wan thought she was going to teach her how to hoe the ground.
As a result, when she got another hoe, Liu Qingcheng had already turned over a large section of the land.
At least more than what she turned over in half an hour. "Oh, how can I do this?"
Gu Wan hurried forward and tried to get the hoe. "I'll do it."
Liu Qingcheng dodged the hoe in his hand and pushed her away. He dug the ground and said:
"You are the only one who is stupid. If other people in the village, including you educated youth, had someone to work for them, they would be so happy that they would be at a loss as to what to do."
"Look, you have to hold the hoe in the middle and apply force like this, okay?"
Gu Wan's attention was quickly diverted by her subsequent words and she continued to dig according to the method he taught her.
"The tiller you have in your hand is more useful. It has three teeth and can be easily inserted into the ground. It can loosen the soil and also pull up the grass on the ground with its roots.
After the soil is loosened, you can use the hoe in my hand to mark the rows and dig the holes. Each hoe has a different use."
So that's how it is, and the three-tooth one in my hand does seem to be lighter.
Although Liu Qingcheng said before that she liked to be lazy, she was actually very efficient when doing her work.
