   Chapter 258 259 Dafeng Village

   "Hey!" Gu Yu happily responded and saw a gray-haired man walking into the courtyard, waving his hands and shouting, "Uncle, I'm back!"

  Gu Yu's uncle stood in the yard, he couldn't believe his ears, he looked at Gu Yu who was getting closer, patted his legs, and shouted loudly, "Father, mother, come and see! Girl Yu is back!"

   Before he finished speaking, he ran to the wooden door and opened it with a smile on his face, but tears in his eyes: "Rain! You are back!"

   "I'm back, uncle, why are your hair all white?"

  Gu Yu stepped forward to grab his hand and looked at his gray hair worriedly. Seeing the uncle looking behind him, he quickly turned around and pointed at Li Yu and said, "Uncle, this is my wife, my wife came back with me."

   Uncle Gu bowed at Li Yu and said, "Thank you Madam, we thought we would never see Girl Yu again."

   A few people ran out of the house at this time. Gu Yu ran in and knelt in front of an old couple, crying, "Master, milk, I'm back."

  Gu Yu's grandmother grabbed Gu Yu and hugged her to cry. Uncle Gu ran in and said to the old man, "It's dark outside, Dad and Mom, and Gu Yu's main house is still outside!"

  Everyone ran outside the courtyard again, Gu Yu wiped away her tears and dragged Mrs. Gu to walk in front of Li Yu and Jixiang: "Damn, this is my wife, my wife came to our village to see, this is the little brother Jixiang."

  The two elders of the Gu family hurriedly greeted him again, Gu Yu pointed at the horse: "Lord, look at me, Madam also brought food and meat for you to share with the old and weak in the village."

  Everyone's eyes widened when they saw several sacks of grain on the horse's back, and a load of fat pork on the back.

  Gu Yu's cousin swallowed and sighed, "Wow! How can you eat so much meat?"

   Uncle Gu patted him and said, "Guy, Madam told your grandfather to give points to the weak in the village."

"Many thanks, Madam, you think you are still spending money." Old Man Gu and Mrs. Gu bowed gratefully to Li Yu, and instructed Uncle Gu: "Hurry up and take the horse to the yard, and take the grass that was cut today to feed. Hey."

  Li Yu saw that they were at a loss, smiled and waved his hand: "Old man, it's not worth anything, I want to go out for a walk."

   Everyone greeted politely and entered the courtyard. The two cousins ​​of Jixiang and Guyu moved the food and meat into the main room, and Gu Yu started cooking with a knife of meat and sauerkraut. Aunt Gu Yu called for hot water and said to Li Yu cautiously, "Madam, please wash your face."

   Li Yu, with her restrained look, said gently, "Sister-in-law, please trouble you."

   Mrs He blushed: "Madam, you're too polite, what's the trouble with this, you can bring our girl Yu back to see, so that her grandma and his uncle can rest assured, and I will trouble you to take care of my girl Yu in the future!"

   Li Yu saw the loving look in He's eyes when he talked about Gu Yu, and knew that this woman was sincere. Although this family was poor, there was a strong affection between the family members. Under the dim oil lamp, Li Yu found that the Gu family was a family with four walls. In the kitchen room there was an old wooden table, several wooden benches, and no other furniture was seen.

Li Yu picked up a vegetable and chose it, and asked Mrs He, who was choosing vegetables, "Sister-in-law, I heard from Gu Yu that your family sold the only two acres of land to her father for treatment, but I saw you. The terrain is fairly flat, how come your family only has two acres of land?"

He sighed: "Madam, you don't know, I heard his father say that there are ten hectares of fertile fields in the flat part of our village, but those fields are all owned by the Wang family, and the rest are gravel and sloping fields. , everyone can't raise livestock without fertilizer, and even if those fields are opened, there will be no crops."

  Li Yu asked curiously: "The Wang family? Is it the Wang family in Yunzhou City?"

   Mr. He shook his head, feeling a little strange in his heart, these rich wives don't know how to farm and ask what's the use of these? He still replied honestly: "I don't know, I only know that it belongs to the Wang family. My family owns 20 acres of the Wang family's land. It is open for three or seven years. The Wang family has seven and three of us. The taxes are also paid by the Wang family. If you can coax your stomach, God does not reward you with food, so many people have to go to the mountains to find food, and if you are not careful, the beasts on the mountain will be like the second uncle, and they will disappear at a young age."

   "Oh! Are those sloping fields and gravel fields also owned by the Wang family?"

   "No, those are wastelands that no one can grow."

   At this time, Gu Yu prepared the meal and brought it to the table to invite Li Yu and Jixiang to eat. Li Yu asked the Gu family to eat together, and the old man Gu said politely: "Madam, we have only eaten for a while, you eat quickly."

   Li Yu saw Gu Yu's cousin looking at the stewed pork with sauerkraut, he swallowed, and said to Gu Yu, "How could the three of us eat so much, you scoop it up and let your grandfather and grandmother eat it too."

  Gu Yu shook his head and said, "Ma'am, they won't eat it if you send it, and there's still some in the kitchen!"

   After eating, Jixiang whispered to Li Yu: "Madam, I didn't expect them to be so poor, and life in Xishan Village is better than here."

"The fertile land in the village has been occupied by the aristocratic families, and they have no land themselves. They rely on the land of the tenant king's family to grow the land. The rent is 37 cents. Days can be imagined.”

Jixiang suddenly realized: "No wonder Gu Yu's cousin is thirteen, so he is only so young, but the rent is too high! We give them five or five cents from our land tenancy, and we have to pay taxes, and the tenants are living too hard. Baba's."

  Gu Yu spread the bedding, and said to Li Yu and Jixiang a little embarrassed: "Madam, can I sleep with you tonight?"

   Li Yu nodded, Jixiang looked at her and said, "What about me?" Gu Yu pointed at his cousin and said, "Brother Jixiang, you and my cousin are in the same room."

A few people went to bed separately after washing their hands. The next morning, Li Yu woke up and saw Mr. Gu returning with the meat. There were more than a dozen elderly people behind him. They said they were here to thank Li Yu. Everyone was polite. Fan, after Gu Yu set the food and ate it, Uncle Gu and Auntie took Li Yu and the others to the fields outside, followed by a group of villagers.

   Uncle Gu pointed to the flat land and said, "This piece belongs to the Wang family, and the only two acres in my family have been sold to his family."

  Li Yu pointed to the ground beside the mountain stream and those barren **** tunnels: "Let's go over there and have a look."

A few people walked over there, and Li Yu found that there was indeed a lot of sand and gravel there, but the barren **** was not bad, just like the small hills in Hu Laohan Village. Li Yu took a **** and dug a few places to see, yes Uncle Gu said, "Where did the water in that mountain stream come from?"

   Uncle Gu pointed to a mountain in front of him: "There is a hole there, and the water flows down from there. The water is even bigger in the rainy season."

If there is water, the terraced fields can be opened. Li Yu said to Uncle Gu: "When I was in Tongzhou, there was a Hujia Village. Their fertile fields were washed away by the mountain torrents. Finally, the terraced fields built on such small hills were planted for one season. Wheat, planted a season of rice, the harvest is not bad."
