When Gu Manniang came back with her two children, Tang Tiezhu naturally told Gu Manniang about the land purchase mentioned by Tang Dazhu and Tang Erzhu just now.

Gu Manniang heard this and was silent for a while. In fact, if Gu Manniang was to make a decision on this matter, she would choose the path of business nine times out of ten, she was not like others, who felt that the status of businessmen was low or something.

Although this field is the foundation of their agricultural development, the grain production in this era is too low, and the tax is heavy. If you want to farm to solve the problem of food and clothing and reach a well-off level, this is definitely impossible. Unless he is a big landowner, his family owns hundreds or thousands of acres of land.

Gu Manniang actually couldn't understand that this businessman was rich and had a group of slaves. If there is a conflict between this businessman and ordinary people, it is the businessman who wins 100% in the end.

So, don't think that you are a farmer with a higher status than a businessman, but it is useless. It's just comforting and comforting yourself.

However, the two brothers Tang Dazhu and Tang Erzhu are also right. Tang Tiezhu has no experience in doing business at all, and if he runs to do business rashly, he will lose all his money.

After thinking about it, Gu Manniang said, "Big brother, what the second brother said is also right. However, you earn the money, and it is up to you to decide what you want to do. ”

Gu Manniang didn't want to make any decision for Tang Tiezhu, lest when the decision was wrong, Tang Tiezhu would complain about her. What's more, Gu Manniang originally didn't want to make Tang Tiezhu rich, as long as he could improve, it would be fine not like before.

Tang Tiezhu thought for a while, and after a while, he said, "Then let's buy two acres of land first." "He now has twenty-one taels of silver in his hand, and he should be able to buy two acres of fine land.

In fact, Tang Tiezhu still wants to do business, but he remembers today's events. In the future, Gu Manniang's prey can't be sent to the restaurant in the town every day like before. In the future, if you want to sell more prey, you have to run to the city.

Tang Tiezhu wanted to take this opportunity to take the opportunity to sell prey from Gu Manniang, when the time comes, he often runs to the Fucheng side, and he will definitely gain a lot of knowledge, and when the time comes, he will definitely be much stronger than doing business now.

Regarding Tang Tiezhu's decision, Gu Manniang did not express an opinion. only said, "You should ask the eldest brother more about buying land." ”

Tang Tiezhu had no opinion. Growing up, he rarely worked in the fields. I don't know much about the land. If you want to buy a good piece of land, you naturally have to ask experienced croppers.

Tang Tiezhu discussed it with Gu Manniang, and he went directly to find Tang Dazhu. When Tang Dazhu heard that Tang Tiezhu wanted to buy land, he was relieved. Tang Tiezhu can listen to people's persuasion, which shows that the third brother has really grown up and knows how to be sensible.

Tang Tiezhu asked Tang Dazhu, the eldest brother, for help, and Tang Dazhu had no opinion. He said that he would help keep an eye on it, and if he met a good land, he would naturally not let it go.

Now that the matter of buying land has been decided, Tang Dazhu asked, "Third brother, will the third brother and sister enter the mountain tomorrow?" ”

Today they followed into the mountains once and reaped a bountiful harvest. Although it is not as good as the luck of the third brother, he has picked up a lot of mountain goods.

When Gu Manniang and the others went to sell prey and ginseng, the two of them picked out the mushroom fungus separately and dried it in a dustpan. As long as they are dried, they can take out these dry goods and buy them. After buying it, the family has an income......

Therefore, Tang Dazhu naturally hopes to follow Gu Manniang into the mountain all the time, so that the family can have a little more income.

Hearing Tang Dazhu's question, the smile on Tang Tiezhu's face faded a lot. "Today I followed Manniang to sell prey, and the shopkeeper said that they don't need so much prey in the future, and suggested that Manniang send the prey to Fucheng, saying that there are many restaurants there and more prey."

"Then won't the third brother and sister go into the mountains to hunt?" Tang Dazhu asked anxiously. Can you not be in a hurry? It was not easy to find an entry, and it was not almost unsettled, which made Tang Dazhu not in a hurry.

Tang Tiezhu shook his head, "Manniang didn't say that she couldn't enter the mountain." Big brother, don't worry. I'll go back and ask now. ”

"Then you can ask." Tang Dazhu hurriedly asked Tang Tiezhu to go back quickly and ask Gu Manniang's plans.

When Tang Tiezhu asked if Gu Manniang would go into the mountains to hunt, Gu Manniang's answer was naturally yes. She now has no other way to make money than hunting, and if she doesn't hunt, then she can only drink the northwest wind.

When Tang Dazhu waited for Gu Manniang's letter, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the third brother and sister still have to enter the mountain, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do.

But the plan can never catch up with the change, and the next day, when Gu Manniang and the others were about to enter the mountain, Gu Manniang's younger brother Gu Xiaoshan came.

"Xiaoshan, why are you here?" Gu Manniang looked at Gu Xiaoshan with a puzzled expression. Gu Xiaoshan was afraid that he would rush here before dawn, there was a lot of dew on the road, and his pants were already warm.

"Eldest sister, my mother is sick, let me call you back." After Gu Xiaoshan said the purpose of his coming here, he continued, "Eldest sister, do you still have food at home?" I haven't eaten yet? ”

Gu Manniang has never been very cold to her mother, and Gu Manniang is suspicious of what Gu Xiaoshankou said about Gu Lao Niang's illness.

Gu Xiaoshan is the youngest child of the Gu family, and he is also the most favored by the two elders of the Gu family at home. And the relationship between the original owner Gu Manniang and this younger brother is very good. When Gu Xiaoshan landed, he was basically taken care of by Gu Manniang. In addition to not being able to feed Gu Xiaoshan's milk, it can be said that Gu Manniang is equivalent to half a mother for Gu Xiaoshan.

And Gu Lao Niang also knew that the younger son and the eldest daughter had a good relationship, so she sent the younger son over to call the eldest son.

This little brother of the Gu family is here, and Gu Manniang is naturally not good to go up the mountain again. What's more, Gu Xiaoshan also brought the news that Gu Lao Niang was sick. This mother-in-law is sick, and Gu Manniang, as a daughter, naturally wants to take a look.

As soon as Gu Manniang heard that Gu Xiaoshan hadn't eaten breakfast yet, she hurriedly asked Tang Tiezhu to scoop out the breakfast that was reserved for Tang Xiaobao and gave it to Gu Xiaoshan, and asked him to cushion it first.

This half-grown child eats poor old man, Gu Xiaoshan is now fourteen or fifteen years old, and it is the time to eat, so Tang Xiaobao and Niuniu's breakfast is not enough for him to stuff his teeth. Gu Manniang hurriedly went to get some more food, and besides, Gu Xiaoshan ate Tang Xiaobao's breakfast,

Gu Xiaoshan had been on the road all morning, and he was really hungry, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he ate a bowl of rice in three or two, even if he didn't make it for Gu Xiaoshan, he had to make some food for the two children. Otherwise, they won't have anything to eat when they wake up.

I have some goods in my stomach, and I also have the energy to chat with Gu Manniang.

"Sister, where are you and your brother-in-law going just now?" Gu Xiaoshan asked curiously.

"We were just about to enter the ...... mountain"

As soon as Gu Xiaoshan heard Gu Manniang say about entering the mountain, he looked at Gu Manniang with some suspicion, "Eldest sister, I heard from my mother that you can hunt now, and every time you go into the mountain, you will hunt a lot of prey and go home." Is this true? ”

Gu Xiaoshan thought that he knew his sister better, how could her sister suddenly have such a big ability, which made Gu Xiaoshan a little unbelievable.

Last time his sister had an accident, he wanted to follow everyone to support his sister, but his mother didn't do it, he was too young. was afraid that he would follow him secretly, and directly locked him in the house with a lock to prevent him from coming out.

He was kept locked up until his eldest brother-in-law came to deliver wild boar to their house, and his wife took him out. Tang Tiezhu went to Gu's house to deliver meat, and said that the wild boar was hunted by Gu Manniang. When the Gu family heard this, they almost didn't laugh at the pain in their stomachs. As Gu Manniang's parents and brothers, what skills does Gu Manniang have, don't they know yet? said that Gu Manniang knew how to hunt, and they wouldn't believe anything.

And Gu Lao Niang also came to see Gu Manniang with a suspicious attitude, but she didn't expect that she not only brought back positive news, but also brought back some prey. This made the Gu family have to believe that Gu Manniang had become capable.

But even if the news that his wife brought back was certain, and he brought back the prey that his eldest sister hunted, Gu Xiaoshan hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and he still didn't believe what he said.

This time, Gu Lao Niang was sick, but Gu Xiaoshan said that he had to come over by himself. And the two elders of the Gu family considered that the relationship between the younger son and the eldest daughter was the best, so they agreed to Gu Xiaoshan to come over. Otherwise, the Gu family would let Gu Xiaoshan come to see Gu Manniang.

When Gu Manniang heard this, she just nodded, and didn't explain much to Gu Xiaoshan. Only turned around with Gu Xiaoshan and began to inquire about Gu Lao Niang's condition, "Why did my mother suddenly get sick?" ”

Gu Xiaoshan shook his head, "I don't know. Obviously last night was fine, but this morning before dawn I started shouting headaches. I said that I missed you and Xiaobao for a long time......"

Hearing this, Gu Manniang nodded clearly.

Regardless of whether Gu Lao Niang was really sick or fake this time, the Gu family definitely wanted to get some benefits from this illness.

Everyone is sick, and they say that they miss their grandson, and if she wants not to be scolded for being unfilial, then she has to go to see her.

However, Gu Manniang made up her mind, no matter what their idea was, if she didn't want to, they wanted to take advantage of her, and it was only a dream.

Gu Manniang simply finished the meal, and then went back to the room and called the two children up. But Tang Tiezhu went to tell the two elder brothers, telling them not to wait any longer and not to enter the mountain today.

The two brothers, Tang Dazhu and Tang Erzhu, cannot be said to be disappointed or disappointed. As early as the moment Tang Xiaoshan came and said that Gu Lao Niang was sick, they all knew that today's entry into the mountain was in vain.

The two children rarely saw Gu Xiaoshan, so they didn't know much about Gu Xiaoshan's little uncle, Gu Manniang taught them to call their little uncle, Tang Xiaobao was bold and called out his little uncle directly, and Niuniu was much less timid. The little uncle didn't shout. Gu Xiaoshan knew the personalities of the two nephews.

However, compared with the lively Tang Xiaobao, Gu Xiaoshan likes Niuniu more. stepped forward to hug Niuniu, but Niuniu was timid and hid directly to the side.

Gu Manniang was afraid that Gu Xiaoshan would mind, so she hurriedly explained, "Xiaoshan, don't mind, Niuniu, this kid is relatively timid. ”

"Eldest sister, what do you say, I'm their little uncle, how could I mind this little thing?" Gu Xiaoshan waved his hand disappreciatively.

Gu Manniang saw that Gu Xiaoshan really didn't mind, so she was relieved. The original owner has a good relationship with this younger brother, and she doesn't want to let the two sisters and brothers be estranged for a little reason.

"Xiaoshan, you go to eat first, I'll take them to wash and wash before I come to accompany you."

…………

After Tang Xiaobao and the others ate breakfast, Gu Manniang discussed with Tang Tiezhu about going to the Gu family.

Tang Tiezhu's face was a little unpleasant. The Gu family has always looked down on Tang Tiezhu, a loser, and even the last time he went to the Gu family to deliver wild boar, the Gu family didn't give him a good face, let him go to the Gu family, and he was really embarrassed to die. Last time, he told Gu Manniang that he would never go to Gu's house again, if he went again this time, wouldn't he slap himself in the face?

When Gu Manniang saw him like this, she also knew that he didn't want to go to the Gu family. Seeing this, Gu Manniang didn't force him to go, so she said, "Otherwise, you can stay at home." Today I am taking my two children back. ”

When Tang Tiezhu heard that he was not going to Gu Jia, he didn't think about it for a second, and directly nodded and agreed. His appearance made Gu Manniang feel that the Gu family seemed to be a tiger's den in Longtan. Otherwise, why was he so afraid to go to the Gu family.

In this way, Gu Manniang took the two children back to her parents' house, while Tang Tiezhu stayed at home to take care of the house. Gu Xiaoshan didn't say anything about whether Tang Tiezhu would go to his house or not, Gu Xiaoshan didn't have a good impression of this brother-in-law, although he looked like some people now, but how he treated his sister before, he Gu Xiaoshan remembered it clearly.
