Seeing Mrs. Zhang's high spirits, Gu Wan had no choice but to go to the town and buy some fabrics and needlework. Mrs. Zhang and the others usually sat under the big locust tree in front of the door to sew clothes when they had free time. The weather was hot in the summer, so People are lazy, and there is no work in the fields, so rural people simply find a cool place to rest.
Gu Wan also had a very leisurely time during this period. There was no work in the fields. Lin Yijing did all the things like cutting wild vegetables and turning sweet potato seedlings in the mountains. Gu Wan would wash clothes, cook, sweep the floor, and carry food with her at home every day. Yuanyuan was walking around, and sometimes, when she was too busy, she took Sun Lin with her and went to the Gu family to help Zhang prepare Gu Jiao's dowry.
What women in rural areas like most is to get together in small groups. Everyone works together, chats together, and helps each other. This not only gets the work done, but also relieves boredom and brings a bit of fun to daily life.
The Gu family's old locust tree is a great place to enjoy the cool air. In addition, Zhang, Gu Jiao, and Gu Wan often sit under the tree and work, so every afternoon there are always a few women carrying a bench. Come over, chat, and sometimes help Zhang with some sewing work. Zhang will also prepare some mung bean soup to cool them down.
Gu Wan was sitting in the middle of the crowd, holding a cattail leaf fan in her hand and fanning herself constantly. On the surface, she looked calm and relaxed, but in fact, she opened her ears and listened carefully to everyone's conversation.
Although rural people are simple, they also have vanity, love to compare, and love gossip. But most people are human beings and only pick up nice things to say. No, everyone in the village knew that Gu Jiao and Sun Peng were engaged, and they all complimented Mrs. Zhang, "Sister-in-law Gu, your daughter has found a good family. Not only is she married close, but her uncle is also a scholar. From now on, you will be blessed." Neighbor Mrs. Wang was the first to speak politely, and the other women also began to talk about it, "Gu Jiao is also a lucky person, and she can marry a scholar. You don't know, how many girls are eager to marry Sun Peng, some of them have rich dowries, some of them are very handsome, and somehow, the Sun family has fallen in love with Gu Jiao." Ding. While the aunt was mending her clothes, she was discussing in a low voice with Aunt Wang next to her, "You don't understand this. The Sun family wants to find a girl who knows everything. This Gu Jiao was raised by the villagers, and she is down-to-earth and capable. , good conduct and average appearance. Looking at the Gu family over the past year, they first built a house and bought cattle. They are living a good life. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Gu family is fairly well off, so, These two families are well matched for getting married." Aunt Wang analyzed the reasons for this in detail to Aunt Ding.
Gu Wan felt a little uncomfortable listening to everyone talking about Gu Jiao's marriage, so she got up and went back to bring some mung bean soup out and distributed it to everyone. Everyone drank a bowl of mung bean soup and felt much more relaxed. After drinking the mung bean soup, one of the aunts sighed with emotion, "It's been so hot recently and it hasn't rained yet. I'm afraid the crops in the fields will wither. It seems we have to find a way." Water the crops in the field!" This topic successfully attracted everyone's attention.
