Chapter 20: Sisterhood and Etiquette

The Ma family has always been serious, and he is the master of the Gu family, but he suddenly showed a smile, which made everyone stunned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And she herself also noticed the emotional exposure just now, and immediately straightened her face, looked at Gu Siniang and said, "What do you look like, get up and sit down." ”

Gu Siniang knew that her grandmother was the kind of hard-mouthed and soft-hearted master, and she was not afraid of her for a long time, but she still sat down on her stool obediently.

"Tomorrow, I will go up the mountain with you, and a few small ones will stay at home to watch the house, and Sizhuang and Cuihua will stay at home." Ma opened his mouth and slapped the board, and everyone had no opinion, and the matter was settled.

Early the next morning, Ma took Gu Dazhuang and the three of Chen to go up the mountain by this basket, Gu Siniang couldn't sleep, got up and found all the jars at home, and put more than a dozen large and small ones in the yard.

Every family in the village pickles the pickles for the winter, and these jars are reserved for pickles.

Gu Siniang was going to wash these jars inside and out, but she was small and had little strength, so she was tired and sweaty after only brushing two, and sat on the ground with her buttocks, wiping the sweat from her forehead, and she couldn't lift her energy.

She looked at the rows of jars in front of her, and silently estimated in her heart that at least a hundred persimmons could be fermented, two persimmons were about one and a half catties, and one hundred were around seventy-five catties.

A pound is sold for fifteen yuan, and seventy-five pounds is more than one or two pieces of silver, such a rough calculation, Gu Siniang suddenly felt full of energy, the key is that these are all natural products on the mountain, no labor and no cost of trading, it is not an exaggeration to say that silver fell from the sky.

It seemed that she saw countless pieces of silver flashing in front of her eyes, which made her can't help but get excited.

Gu Yuanniang took Gu Erniang and Gu Sanniang out of the house, and when she saw her like this, they all looked funny.

"Where did I go when you didn't move for so long, it turned out to be here." Gu Yuanniang went over, stretched out her hand to pull Gu Siniang up from the ground, looked at the jar on the ground and asked, "Do you want to brush these well?" ”

"Yes." Gu Siniang wiped the sweat from her forehead and said.

"Erniang, let's brush it together, Sanniang, you take Siniang to play outside." Gu Yuanniang reached out and rolled up her sleeves as she spoke, and then started to do it.

"I'm going to help too, I can brush them cleanly, you see, I did these two by myself." Gu Siniang saw that her two sisters were busy, and she was embarrassed to do nothing by herself.

"Okay, okay, what can you do with this little body, be obedient, and play with Sanniang. Your eldest sister and second sister have done this. Gu Erniang turned around and smiled at her.

"Okay, okay, I just got a beautiful silk flower a few days ago, I'll show you." Gu Sanniang pulled Gu Siniang and whispered.

"What kind of silk flowers?" Gu Siniang is a child's heart in the end, and when she heard that there were interesting things, she was attracted to attention.

"It was Ah Xiu who gave it to me, her sister worked as a maid in a big family in the town, and they gave her a total of two flowers, and Ah Xiu was good with me, so she gave me one." Gu Sanniang grinned when she said this, with a proud face.

Gu Siniang was dragged into the house by her, and then watched Gu Sanniang carefully take out a small pink flower from a half-old purse and hand it to Gu Siniang, "Look, isn't it very good." It's a thing in the capital, and it takes a lot of silver to have it. ”

Gu Siniang took a look, this workmanship is at a medium level, but it is better than the fashionable style, and the pink gradient is also good-looking. It's no wonder that she has a picky eye, but the level of craftsmanship in her previous life is very developed, and the design and manufacture of many jewelry have approached perfection.

However, this thing is indeed a good thing in the poor Lotus Village, and it is no wonder that Gu Sanniang cherishes it.

"It's a beautiful flower, third sister, you collected it so carefully, did you keep it for important occasions?"

Gu Siniang asked curiously, she knew, Gu Sanniang's small purse contained her most valuable things, the three-money money given by her mother during the New Year, and some good silk threads that she usually saved, and this time she also added a silk flower.

"It's not for me, next year the eldest sister will be in time, and I will keep it for the eldest sister to make a gift." Gu Sanniang said with a look of longing, "I heard that after Ji Xuan, he will be an adult." ”

Gu Siniang nodded in agreement, "The eldest sister will definitely like it." Third sister, if you say this, then I have to hurry up and prepare, otherwise there will be nothing to give to the eldest sister at that time. ”

"That's not exactly what happened." After Gu Sanniang finished speaking, she gently reached out and touched the silk flower, and then put it in the small purse.

"Third sister, when I make money, I'll buy you a lot of beautiful flowers." Gu Siniang said.

"I heard Ah Xiu say that there is a peach blossom hairpin in the best Fengming Xuan in the capital. Many ladies and ladies in Kyori use it. Gu Sanniang said this with a look of longing, she is seven years old this year, she is not big, she is not small, she plays with Ah Xiu all day long, and she also knows a lot of things in Beijing, and she is very envious.

"Okay, then the peach blossom hairpin, when I have the silver, I will definitely buy it for the third sister to make a gift." Gu Siniang thought about Gu Sanniang's age this year, and how could she save enough money to keep the hairpin alive until she had eight years to go.

"Siniang, you are the best. How are you so good. Gu Sanniang's smiling eyes narrowed into crooked crescents.

Gu Siniang only felt that the child's heart was very easy to satisfy, but she never thought that something would happen that she didn't expect to happen in the future, which would completely disrupt her peaceful life.

Ma took Gu Dazhuang and Chen to the mountains for a morning, and at noon they each came back with two baskets of persimmons.

Gu Dazhuang walked in the front, entered the door with a gloomy face, didn't say a word, rushed directly to the kitchen, took a water ladle full of water and drank it, and then as if he was not satisfied, he saw a few cakes on the stove, and stuffed them into his mouth.

Gu Siniang was sitting at the door with a small bench, she was startled when she saw this situation, and just wanted to go over to see the situation, she was stopped by Chen who entered the door, "Siniang." ”

"Mother, what's wrong with Daddy?" Gu Siniang's eyes looked at the kitchen, a little worried.

If it was in the past, the Chen family would definitely show a worried look on his face, but at this moment, he changed his normal, pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't worry about your father, it's not too early, my mother will cook for you later." ”

Gu Dazhuang ate two cakes in the kitchen and drank a lot of water, then walked out, his face was not much better than before, coughed, put the persimmons in the bamboo basket into the yard, and turned around and entered the house.
