Chapter 170 I don’t care

Su Xiaomu has already decided that this field will now be turned into an experimental field.

If all goes well, she will be able to harvest her first potatoes before winter.

It will be October in a few days. If Su Xiaomu remembers correctly, Uncle Liang came to her two days ago and said that after everyone sprayed insecticides, they would start harvesting millet one after another.

After all, we are all afraid of this year's locust plague, and would rather reduce production now than have everything eaten by locusts.

Su Xiaomu also agreed with their decision. She knew exactly how effective the insecticide she had researched was.

Therefore, insecticides can effectively kill locusts, but after all, the weeds will not be burned out, and they will grow again with the spring breeze. It is not clear where the grasshoppers that have not been killed will come back.

Therefore, these days, her dream house has also reduced the number of guests it entertains every day, giving the villagers who work here plenty of time to go back to harvest in the autumn.

Of course, another reason why everyone is so motivated is that they have heard more or less in the past few days that other places in the surrounding area have begun to be attacked by locusts.

Although the number of locusts was not large, a lot of money and food were damaged because there was no preparation in advance. I also heard that people in the county closest to the east were bitten to death by locusts.

As for Su Xiaomu, when he heard the news that someone had died, he couldn't help but be very shocked.

But there was a limit to what she could do on her own. It was already very difficult to protect the people of the city at that time.

It can only be said that other people around her have no chance of being with her, probably because they are destined to do so.

Therefore, Su Xiaomu, who adhered to this idea, when the villagers came to give her gifts one after another to thank her, she did not refuse any of them and accepted all their gifts calmly.

There are comings and goings, it's just a normal thing.

Of course, compared to the villagers who sent congratulatory gifts, Su Xiaomu was somewhat happier when he saw Gu Jingcheng.

"I see that you have been very busy these days. You have lost a lot of weight. It seems... I should ask Aunt Zhao to boil more chicken soup for you these days. It will be winter soon. If you don't make more soup,

Fat, how can you survive the winter?"

When Su Xiaomu said this, he was eating fresh fruits in early autumn very leisurely.

She liked pears, grapes and pomegranates all, she couldn't put them down and wanted to stuff them all in her mouth.

Gu Jingcheng sat opposite her. He stretched out his slender fingers to pick up a grape and fed it to his mouth. A relaxed smile appeared silently on his face that was tired from Sunday's work: "You have gained a lot of weight."

"I'm anxious."

Su Xiaomu coughed lightly, signaling him not to dwell on this topic too much.

"We haven't seen each other for more than ten days. Don't tell me, I really miss you. You haven't told me what you did after you were busy killing insects? I heard Master Wan say that since the last time I went

After looking for you, you never went to his house to study again."

Su Xiaomu was not very worried about Gu Jingcheng's study status.

She knew that he was a gifted and knowledgeable person, and now she was just curious. What could make him want to do it without studying?

"It's something tricky."

Gu Jingcheng guessed that she would ask him this, but he didn't expect that she would ask so early.

He mused: "Fucheng and the villages around Fucheng, because of your warning, no one suffered any disasters, nor did they lose any money, but other areas around it are different, and you must have heard about it these days.

"

"Someone died and was bitten by locusts."

When Su Xiaomu mentioned something related to human life, he immediately became serious: "This matter...does the capital know about it?"

"Well, this is what I want to tell you next."

Gu Jingcheng sighed: "Because there are relatively few disasters here, the county magistrate has accumulated a lot of achievements in this matter. He is afraid that he will be promoted. According to reliable information, the promotion order issued by the superiors will probably be completed in the next few days."

arrive."

"how about you?"

Su Xiaomu wanted to know if Gu Jingcheng had benefited from running for the county magistrate for so long.

Gu Jingcheng has been working so hard for him these days, so there's no way he could be reduced to free labor in the end, right?

"I think I got something. The county magistrate said that he will write a letter of recommendation for me to the capital. If everything goes well, this matter will help me gain a lot of favor from the emperor before the imperial examination."

Gu Jingcheng felt a little tired when he talked about this. He stretched out his fingers and gently touched his temples. His handsome face was full of exhaustion, and he said with a wry smile.

"Before this time, when it came to people's livelihood, I only thought about my many experiences, plus reading articles about the first victory in ancient times. But after I really experienced it once, I realized how difficult the lives of the people were.

, the word "people's livelihood" is so heavy."

"You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. The life of ordinary people has little to do with you now. You are still a member of the common people. There is no need to put heavy shackles on yourself so early. Wait.

One day you will truly live high in the temple and have the opportunity to change the fate of all sentient beings. Then you will reflect on whether you have not done well enough and whether your vision is not far enough."

Su Xiaomu reached out and patted his shoulder, smiling and smoothing his frown: "Okay, let's think about what we're going to eat today. I'll tell the club chef later that she doesn't have to cook anymore.

I'll cook it for you, tell me whatever you want to eat."

"Thanks to you..." Gu Jingcheng did not reply to Su Xiaomu about eating, but looked away, not daring to look at her.

"The fact that these matters can be solved so properly is all due to your efforts. Although the county magistrate has said before that your name will not be omitted, the reports are anonymous, so everyone... I'm afraid it will be difficult to know who you are.

their contribution.”

The benefits that Gu Jingcheng can gain are already in front of him.

He has been following Wu Shu everywhere these days, and the locust plague has come to light in front of the people. Although the memorial sent by the county magistrate did not explicitly say that it was him, it just vaguely mentioned that a student helped.

But now it seems that there is no difference from what Ming said.

This time, only Su Xiaomu made a real contribution without leaving a name.

"I don't care. I don't care if everyone knows it's about me."

Su Xiaomu never thought about creating an image of a good person for herself.

In addition, she doesn't want to be famous or be the target of public criticism.

I just want to make money in obscurity.

So if her contribution can help Gu Jingcheng in the end, that would be the best.

Su Xiaomu has always known what she really wants.

"Let's eat. Don't talk about it anymore since it's over. And to me, it doesn't matter who benefited. The important thing is that someone benefited."
