The sunset on the horizon glows with a brilliant carmine, and the afterglow of the setting sun envelopes the village leaning on the mountain.
At the foot of the rolling mountains, close to the village, a young boy wearing a short brown cloth was sitting on a big rock and looking into the distance.
The terrain here is quite high. Gu Chengyu leaned against a big tree with his back and looked into the distance with absent-minded eyes. It was spring again, and it was March in Yangchun. It had been more than four years since Gu Chengyu had traveled through time, and it would be two more years.
One month means exactly five years.
Spring is in full bloom, with pink willows and green willows everywhere. Looking around the mountains, the mountains are also lush and lush, with wild flowers and grasses luxuriant on the roadside. All kinds of flowers exude refreshing fragrance. In front of the mountains is an open farmland.
Therefore, it was evening, and the people working in the fields were all carrying farm tools home. They were walking on the path in the fields, greeting each other with everyone they met, and mixed with the cheerful laughter of children, it was a pastoral scene.
Gu Chengyu looked at this quiet and beautiful village with pleasure, lamenting that although the life of a farm family is difficult, as long as the spring plowing and autumn harvest come, everyone's faces will show hopeful smiles. This is an ordinary and peaceful life.
Looking in the direction of the village, several houses with thatched roofs at the entrance of the village attracted Gu Chengyu's attention. These were the Gu family.
During the past four years, Gu Chengyu gradually learned that he had traveled to the Dayan Dynasty, a dynasty he had never heard of before, and it might be a parallel space. As for the history before the Dayan Dynasty, he didn't know because they were all farmers here.
They won't mention this, and no one will care about the emperor's surname. They only know that it is the fifty-eighth year of the Great Era.
This village is called Shangling Village, because it is named after the mountain range Changling Mountain. Changling Mountain is very big, with peaks connected to each other. No one has been to the deep places where the peaks are connected. It is said that there are restaurants in it.
It is a ferocious beast that even capable hunters dare not penetrate deep into.
This place is in the north, and Shanngling Village is under the jurisdiction of Shanhe Town, Qinghe County, Qinzhou, Jingyuan Prefecture. There are many surnames in this village, and the Gu family is one of the big families.
Gu Chengyu's grandparents have passed away. His father, Gu Changqing, has two brothers and one sister. The eldest, Gu Changsong, is the current patriarch of the Gu family. He had read a few years before the famine and knew some literacy. Gu Changsong married Yang and gave birth to his eldest son, Gu Chengzhong.
, the second son Gu Chengxiao. Gu Chengzhong also has a son and a daughter, the eldest son Gu Wanhua, the eldest daughter Gu Yan, and Gu Chengxiao only has one son Gu Wansheng for the time being.
Gu Changqing's second brother Gu Changbai, when a severe drought occurred in Qinzhou in his early years, his family went south to join his eldest brother-in-law in the Yue family, and they have not been in contact so far. After Gu Changbai, there was another Gu Xiu, who married into Huaihe Town, adjacent to Shanhe Town, and his family
Running a tofu business.
Father Gu is forty-two years old this year, and his mother, he guessed correctly, is indeed his stepmother, she is thirty-three this year. Father Gu used to have a first wife, Mrs. He, who was the daughter of Father Gu's uncle's family.
They are first cousins, and later gave birth to the eldest son, Gu Chengli, who married Fang and gave birth to the eldest son, Gu Wanhai, who is eleven years old this year. Next is the eldest daughter, Gu Lian, who is ten years old this year. The second daughter, Gu Lan, is seven years old this year.
There is also Gu Xing, who is only ten months old.
The second child, Gu Chengyi, married his first wife, the niece of the older He family, Xiao He, and they had the second son, Gu Wanjiang, who is nine years old this year; the third son, Gu Wanhe, who is seven years old; and the third daughter, Gu Mei, who is three years old. Gu Chengyu knew it for a while.
Sorry, the relationship between the He family and the He family is quite complicated.
There was also an eldest sister named Gu Xi, who was twins with Gu Chengyi, and she married into the neighboring village of Xialing Village.
Dad Gu was just sixteen years old when he married Da He, who was one year younger than him. Da He died when Gu Chengli was nine years old. She gave birth to twins that year, and her body couldn't bear it anymore. She was dragging her feet and getting sick later.
After several years, Gu Chengli finally went there when he was nine years old.
Father Gu married Mr. Lu a year later, which was not unpleasant at all. I heard that Ms. Lu was working as a maid in a wealthy family, but somehow she was released when she turned 18, and she and Mr. Gu became friends.
My dear, we had a falling out with our family because of this matter, and my grandfather's family still doesn't have much contact with the Gu family.
Father Gu and Mrs. Lu gave birth to the third child Gu Chenglian, the fourth child Gu Chengchi, and the youngest daughter Gu Wan. The third child is fourteen years old this year, and her mother is already looking after the third brother's daughter-in-law; Gu Chengchi is eleven years old this year, and Gu Wan
He is also nine years old.
After thinking about this, Gu Chengyu sighed. It's such a huge family, not counting those side branches. His family alone is a big family, otherwise why would there be so much right and wrong?
Thinking of the Gu family's financial situation again, he sighed again. Gu Chengchi had been weak since he was a child. His mother had a bad pregnancy when she gave birth to his third brother. She vomited everything she ate, so Gu Chengchi was just like a kitten when he was born.
He doesn't even have the energy to cry, and he has to take a lot of medicine every year. However, since he can walk, he often puts a little spring water into the Gu family's water tank. He doesn't dare to put more for fear of others noticing. There are some changes in the family, and it seems more and more.
He is energetic and has never been sick. Even Gu Chengchi is much better. He is no longer taking medicine and the family only has some money left.
"Uncle, I'm calling you to go home and prepare for dinner!" Gu Chengyu was looking in the direction of the Gu family in a daze when he heard the voice of Gu Lan from his eldest brother's house.
"Here we come!" Gu Chengyu saw the little girl standing on the path in the field, raising her hands in the shape of a trumpet, calling him towards the foot of the mountain.
Gu Chengyu then stood up, patted his pants, and walked to the field. When he walked to Gu Lan's side, Gu Lan wanted to lead Gu Chengyu away. The path in the field was uneven. If he fell, he would have to scold her to death when he returned. Gu Chengyu
He saw the situation and knew the reason, so he didn't struggle.
The terrain of this place is wide, and if you want to look back home, you have to pass through a field, including the Gu family's field.
Gu Lan was asked by Mrs. Lu to ask the Gu family man who was working in the fields to go home for dinner. He also had a task to find his uncle. Gu Lan looked at the uncle in front of her and felt a little complicated. Who was living the best life in the family?
However, it’s not the girl who doesn’t have to work, but the uncle in front of her who is only five years old. I heard that when her eldest brother and sister were this big, they would carry big baskets that were almost taller than a person, filled with pigs.
They brought the grass back and fed the pigs and chickens at home.
Nai Nai also loves the third uncle and the others, but the one she dotes on the most is his brother-in-law. She often sees Nai Nai opening a small stove for him. The eggs are something that girls like them can't eat except during festivals. There are also those delicate pastries, which she even enjoys.
I don’t know what it tastes like. My uncle doesn’t like to eat it and often gets angry, but he still hides the milk for him. If he doesn’t like eggs, he buys other snacks. However, he is very easy to coax.
If you don't like to eat, you will sometimes take it out and give them a few small bites to taste. But there are too many people, and the delicious food will be gone without even tasting it in your mouth.
