Chapter 90: Really Making Money (The First Subscription Request)
Although Dai Shuanglin had long been suspicious of this, she still said what Su Niangzi said to the Dai family again, and Gu Xiaomin nodded and shook his head after hearing it.
Thousands of miles away, from the bustling Beijing to this small Puyang town where there are no mountains and no water, and people can die for a mouthful of food, is it really just to find a clean side?
According to this woman, she is from the capital, what kind of in-laws will drive the new widowed daughter-in-law out of the house without waiting to confirm whether she is pregnant? What kind of mother's family would ignore a woman with such a look? Unless this woman is not from a high background, it is even possible that she is not from a good family.
"Don't think about it, I'll show you the big characters I wrote...... "No matter what Su Niangzi's background is, as long as she keeps to herself in Puyang Town and doesn't cause trouble to Dai Xiangen, a weak woman in troubled times, she can live if she can."
Dai Shuanglin entered the house and took out all the big characters she wrote, Gu Xiaomin took the paper with words written on the front and back, couldn't help but let go of his thoughts, and tried to distinguish every word on it, it can be seen that Sister Lin is very attentive, with beginners' habitual pen and ink is heavy, there is still a long distance from lifting weights like light, but this is enough, no wonder his mother will be happy so far.
"Can you remember my handwriting......" Looking at it in detail, Gu Xiaomin was surprised, because Sister Lin's handwriting was a little similar to his handwriting, especially at the beginning and end.
Dai Shuanglin spread her hands, she had only seen one person writing in her life, and that was Gu Xiaomin.
As for the second uncle Dai Xianye, I won't mention it, when that person used to write, he couldn't wait for the people to disappear within a radius of a few miles, and he admired the so-called tranquility and far-reaching. bluffed a big family into worrying about doing things every day, and they didn't dare to say a word.
It was only at this time that Gu Xiaomin took out a three-character scripture from his bosom. Dai Shuanglin received it in his hand and wondered: "Is it possible that the practice of calligraphy should also start with the three-character scripture?" ”
Gu Xiaomin smiled, "No! Look at the words on it, this is the copy I sent you......"
There is a notebook borrowed by Mrs. Su in front of him, and it takes courage for Gu Xiaomin to take out his handwritten notebook.
"You wrote this?" Dai Shuanglin was surprised, according to Gu Xiaomin's current situation, there was no need to write any three-character scripture at all, could it be that this was specially written to her. For her to copy? It's not that there is no joy in my heart, compared with Gu Xiaomin's words two years ago, the words in this book can be said to be flawless.
Such a big change. Dai Shuanglin thought of a possibility, she looked at Gu Xiaomin in front of her and asked, "Your silver was obtained by helping people copy books?" ”
This time it was Gu Xiaomin's turn to be surprised, regardless of the selfishness of his children. He never told anyone about it. Sister Lin was able to think of this from a three-character scripture, which was enough to surprise him, and after nodding, the young man said with a rare shyness: "I can't do anything else, I can only do this!" ”。
It turned out that since the Dai family fell into difficulty, Gu Xiaomin began to help people copy books, from the original Three Character Classics to today's Four Books and Five Classics, the words are good. The price is naturally high, from a few copper plates at the beginning to today's silver.
And this was during the heavy rain. When Gu Xiaomin heard that Dai Shuanglin was going to return the money to him, why did he grind his teeth, this was his meager strength, and it was also his heart for her, and he hoped that she could accept it calmly.
"So this can really make money...... Dai Shuanglin's eyes lit up, going around and around, tossing and turning, and finally had a feeling that this was really the case.
"Hehe, I remember you asked this before, so I went and asked. If you want to make money by copying books, then practice well according to this three-character scripture, and it is not too late to practice the others after you are cooked, and the price will be higher at that time......"
In this way, her people and her words are inextricably linked to him, and they can no longer be separated.
Dai Shuanglin didn't realize Gu Xiaomin's boyish feelings, she only nodded happily, thinking that she could have her own money under Sun's high pressure, Dai Shuanglin was inexplicably excited.
The county school is closed one day a month.
The next day before dawn, Gu Xiaomin needed to take an ox cart to the county seat, when leaving, the shoes he wore on his feet were given by Sister Lin yesterday, the first time to do it was inevitable that it would not fit, it was a bit big, Gu Xiaomin deliberately put two pairs of insoles in it.
When the stars and the moon came to the city gate, the city gate was full of people squatting and waiting to open the city gate.
These people are ragged, yellow-skinned, and there are both locals and locals, and the only thing the locals can rejoice in is that they still have a summer harvest in a few months to wait.
As long as you can survive these three months, the year's suffering will be over.
Gu Xiaomin sat in the ox cart and read a book, his knees covered with a small quilt specially made by Chen, and his eldest brother Gu Xiaosheng squatted there to nibble on buns in front of the car, and a skinny child on the side swallowed saliva and muttered to the man next to him: "Dad, do you say that the buns are delicious?" ”
"It's not delicious, it's poisonous......" The man was silent for a long time before he spit out a sentence to the child with great difficulty.
Gu Xiaosheng was stunned when he heard this, he looked like a tiger's back, the child was so frightened that he shrank his head, Gu Xiaosheng proudly stuffed the remaining half of the bun into his mouth, choked uncomfortably, and beckoned his second brother Gu Xiaomin to bring him water.
The city gate opened, and the child kept following behind the Gu family's ox cart, Gu Xiaomin took out a bun from the bag and handed it to the child, but the child shook his head and said, "I don't want it, my father said it was poisonous." ”
"Don't worry, my brother's buns are not poisonous...... Gu Xiaomin raised his eyes to look at the middle-aged man, the man looked down embarrassedly and said to the child, "Brother is a good person, a good person's buns are not poisonous", Gu Xiaosheng, who was driving the car in front, was shocked when he heard this, this is saying that he is not a good person?
The child who got the bun only took a small bite, and he was not willing to take another bite, and explained in a whisper to Gu Xiaomin, who had been looking at him and smiling: "It's so delicious, I'll take it home and give it to my brother to eat." ”
“……”
Gu Xiaomin was silent, took out another bun from the baggage and handed it over.
At this moment, he thought that no matter what delicious food he gave Sister Lin when he was a child, Sister Lin would always leave a copy for Sister Hong and Brother Xian.
Spring is blooming, the wheat is green, and the boiling conscription has finally passed.
While breathing a sigh of relief, people began to try to forget about the strong men who were taken away, and only in this way could life go on well.
The people who stayed behind began to be busy fertilizing and hoeing the wheat, and they spent all their time on one acre and three points of land, with only one belief in their hearts, to fight more grain and survive until the summer harvest of the next year.
There are two wild peach trees on the edge of the stone dome where the Dai family once depended, and this year is no exception.
In the midst of the stacking of flowers, Dai Shuanglin, who came out with Dai Xiangen to check the stone dome, searched for a long time to find a few male flowers to collect pollen, and began to pollinate other female flowers.
"In the past, when you tinkered with these, my father thought you were joking, but I heard that after the peach tree fell into the hands of the Li family, it would produce a few fruits in a year, and it was rumored that the Li family's feng shui was not good...... "Dai Xiangen cleaned up the weeds around the peach tree, and burned the hay around the stone dome with a fire, and he always thought that his stone dome could start to work again. (To be continued.) )
