Chapter Forty-Eight: Two or Three Things About Leisure Time
"I see that you are also a rich man, how did you end up in this field. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" The girl began to talk to herself again, "I risked being beaten to steal the nest head for you, such a big favor, you always compensate me, so it's fair, right?" I think this jade on your body is very good, so let's take it as a thank you gift. ”
Although he was semi-unconscious, he could still detect a pair of small hands moving around his waist, and he scolded angrily in his heart, but he was helpless.
The girl was silent for a long time after taking the jade pendant, he thought she was asleep or left, and suddenly a pair of soft little hands touched his face, and a warm breath hit his face, hitting his face with a burst of numbness. The little hands touched it and said to themselves, "What a beautiful boy, how can you just be a thief, it's a pity!" ”
After the girl left, he didn't know how long it took for him to wake up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a dry nest beside him.
He frowned and paused, then slowly picked it up and put it in his mouth. Unsurprisingly, it was rough and unpalatable, and when I swallowed it, the coarse grain got stuck in my throat, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
......
"You wait for me, I'll definitely come back to you!"
The young man muttered, and the old Wu in front of him turned his head with a puzzled face, "Where is the master going back?" ”
The young man didn't answer him, and there was a slow breathing sound on his body, Lao Wu smiled, turned around and slowly left with the young man on his back.
Gu Siniang sat on the haystack at the door, looking at the jade pendant in her hand facing the sun, the tentacles were warm, translucent and moist, there was no trace of impurities in the sun, such a thing, even a layman like her knew that it must be very valuable.
"Siniang, Siniang, the house you want has been cleaned up for you, hurry up and go into the house to have a look." Chen's voice came from across the courtyard, Gu Siniang showed a bright smile on her face, put the jade pendant in her pocket, and climbed down quickly.
She asked Chen for a separate room, ready to study persimmons in the next few days, because the Gu family moved out after the separation, the two rooms and three rooms were moved out, so there were several spare rooms left, listening to her want to use it, Chen didn't say anything and quickly cleaned up one.
With a house, Gu Siniang asked Chen for more than 20 persimmons, and then began to try to make persimmons from memory.
To be honest, her memory is not perfect at all, but she checked some information at the beginning, and she has never made it herself, so it is still unknown whether she can succeed or not.
"Dad, how many persimmons are left in our house?" Gu Siniang poked her head out of the door, looked at Gu Dazhuang in the courtyard and asked.
"Three or four hundred left."
"Why is there so little?" Gu Siniang was a little surprised, each of the two large jars in their house could hold three or four hundred persimmons, and there were some fragmentary jars, which together could produce a lot of quantities at a time.
"That's all, I went to the mountains with your mother and I to grab them." Gu Dazhuang said.
The village now knows how to remove the astringency of persimmons, and every family goes to the mountain to start picking persimmons, and the mountain is full of fruit, and in less than two days, only the bare trunks are left.
Gu Siniang nodded and advised, "Daddy, our persimmons will be sweet in the next two days, and then we will go to the town to sell them before the others." After a while, the persimmons of each household will be good, and the price of persimmons will definitely drop as soon as there are more things. ”
"Got it, are you stupid when you're your father?" Gu Dazhuang glanced at her and asked again, "What do you want from your mother for the house?" I also asked for some persimmons, if you want to eat them, just take them and eat them yourself. ”
"Of course, it's about getting down to business. Daddy left it alone. Gu Siniang looked like she didn't want to say it, Gu Dazhuang became more and more curious, poked his head into the room, Gu Siniang shook his head seriously at him, "Daddy, you have to respect a girl's privacy." ”
"You girl, where did you learn these strange words?" That being said, Gu Dazhuang didn't continue to look at it in the end.
Gu Siniang turned her head and entered the house, looked at the room that she had made a little messy, and then lowered her head and fiddled with it.
For several days, she used several baskets of persimmons, but the persimmons she made were not satisfied, either they were rotten or there was no frost at all last night.
In short, I was not satisfied at all, and during this time, the persimmons of the people in the village were ripe and began to be sold on a large scale.
She expected that it was really right, as soon as there were too many things, they would be worthless immediately, and the original fifteen yuan a pound was finally reduced to five yuan a pound.
Gu Siniang studied persimmons for half a month, and finally had to fail, she wanted to study for a while, but the number of persimmons became less and less, and the weather gradually cooled down.
In late autumn, the first frost fell, and Gu Siniang ushered in her first birthday after crossing over.
The children of the Zhuang family are not so particular, and generally the two children are almost together, mainly for convenience. Gu Siniang's birthday was only three days later than Ma's, so after discussing it, it was decided to let her pass ahead and be with Ma's for one day.
Gu Siniang didn't have any special thoughts about this, this birthday really didn't mean much to her, if her birthday was detailed, it was the day she woke up in the Gu family, that was her real rebirth.
Although it was decided not to be another time, Chen still got up early that day, and steamed a drawer of shou bao for her with the only white flour at home.
Gu Siniang thought that she didn't care about these, but when she saw these, she couldn't close her mouth happily, so she stuffed one into her stomach in a few bites.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the places where you can move are getting smaller and smaller, and the hot water in the kitchen is boiling all day long, but it still can't withstand the cold of winter.
Charcoal is an expensive thing, even the cheapest black charcoal costs fifteen pennies a catty, not to mention the best silver silk charcoal.
Chen made a new padded jacket for the whole family, Gu Siniang is a set of pink satin, these materials are the batch of fabrics that Chen bought in the Splendid Workshop with some flaws, saying that it is a flaw but the dye on it is a little smudged, Chen embroidered delicate small plum blossoms on it with silk threads, not only covering the smudged part, but also looking more beautiful than the original.
Gu Siniang was wearing new clothes and excitedly circled around the courtyard several times, and there were three sisters who were as happy as him.
When Gu Dazhuang came back in the evening, he looked at the four daughters standing in a row, all of them in new clothes, and their smiling faces were delicate and bright, and he smiled happily.
Gu Dazhuang went out for a day, and he went to the town, this time mainly for Gu Yuanniang. The He family is still very enthusiastic about this family business, and they have come to the matchmaker twice, but the Chen family has rejected it on the grounds that the child is still young.
Seeing that Yuan Niang was in time for the New Year, if Young Master He was really a good match, the Chen family didn't want to lose this good family. Therefore, let Gu Dazhuang go to the town to investigate, the He family is a big family, and if you inquire more, you will always know a thing or two.
"How's it going?" Chen twisted a hot hand towel for Gu Dazhuang and handed it over, looking a little anxious.
