*********

It stung his eyes and stabbed his heart.

The 100,000 taels compensated by the Xie family suddenly seemed insignificant.

If Minghui is still alive, if Guo Qingmu marries into the Jiang family, the Jiang family must be like this. As Guo Lizheng said to the Zhang and Li families: The most important thing is that people live! Minghui is going to marry Guo Qingdu, how can he earn 100,000 taels in this life!

Therefore, how could he not hate Aunt Jiang when he saw him!

Aunt Jiang suddenly burst into tears and sat on the ground like a child.

The Jiang brothers and daughter-in-law hurriedly persuaded each other, looking at each other and sighing in the confusion.

※

Let's go back to the Guo family.

After the Jiang family left, Guo Dayou arranged to unload the goods and transport the yarn to the waterway in front of Guo's Xifang in a small boat. The porters are all farmers in the village, and they have to be taken care of by the Guo family to earn this salary in addition to farming. Anyway, you don't have to stay here all day, you have a job to shout, just leave when you finish moving, and don't delay the farm work at all.

The Wu family was surrounded by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the sound of greeting and flattery was endless.

There are those who praise the Guo family's big ship, strong and solid, those who scold Li Hongjube for not being a thing to be retributed, those who praise the Guo family for their prestige and suppress a big trouble as soon as they come, those who praise the Guo family for their benevolence and righteousness and do not hold grudges, and those who come to please and greet them in pure pieces.

The Wu family greeted each other with a smile. While greeting, he hurried home.

Qingdu, the second sister-in-law and others left first, and in the morning they surrounded the embankment.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, it is all about the scenery of the water town. The mood is clear.

Seeing the green patches of the fields on one side, it was so pleasing to the eyes that it seemed like spring in a trance, so he asked, "This is not wheat, but ...... Carrot! How do you grow so much? ”

Ruan couldn't help but smile and said, "You forgot? These are to be sold to our workers for food. More than 1,000 people, how many dishes to eat in a day! That's not much. There are other places. ”

The dumb suddenly realized that she was confused.

Yang Anping's family hurriedly joked: "There are also white radish." Girl, these people have a lot of light. Selling vegetables in one winter alone is worth the harvest of the previous year. After pulling this radish, it will not delay at all to plant cotton in the spring. The radish tassels are not lost in vain, and they are also picked to our house to feed the pigs and sheep. Change the fertilizer and come back to fertilize the field. The next year, the harvest was good......"

She talked about farming, and she was dumb and thought it was very interesting.

As the saying goes, "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer", originally everyone planted white radish, but they felt that the workers stayed up late on the night shift and hurt their eyes, and carrots are good for the eyes, so they planted more.

There are many workers, and the demand is large. The turnips were eaten, but the turnips were left.

Guo Shouye is a shrewd and calculating person. When I saw this situation, I was busy feeding the pigs. I bought a lot of piglets from ten miles and eight towns, and then selected those old and weak people who were unable to farm or had no land and had no duty to feed the pigs from the clan and village, which was regarded as helping and taking care of them.

These pigs are not sold when they grow up, and are sometimes slaughtered for the workers to add vegetables.

When she heard it, she hurriedly said catch some sheep and feed them, she wanted to drink goat's milk.

Guo Shouye immediately asked someone to bring the ewes and lambs back with dozens of them. After feeding for a year, I found that this animal is better than a pig, mowing grass in spring and summer, feeding radish tassels in autumn and winter, and no need to spend extra money at all. Not only did his daughter have goat's milk to drink, and everyone liked to eat mutton roasted radish, and the doctor also said that mutton was the warmest in winter, and it was better than pork to raise people, so he called Duoduo to buy breeding sheep and lambs back to expand breeding.

The sheep are fed more, and the goat's milk is more.

The Guo family all drink goat's milk, which is not exhausted.

He used goat's milk to make snacks and taught them to his daughter-in-law in the kitchen and the master of the workshop. So even the Guo family's subordinates were wiped out; There are many people in the workshop, so we can only supply this class today and that class tomorrow, and the weavers can also taste a good snack that they have never eaten.

These measures of the Guo family have won the hearts of the people, and the people who work in the Guo family feel very happy: the salary is still high, and the food is good, a hundred times stronger than at home - who has nothing to eat pig and mutton often? Not to mention those dim sum, you have money to eat, and you don't have anywhere to make those ingredients, right? I can't have time to go to the city to buy it.

Therefore, not only were the workers who came first reluctant to leave, not to mention that they would go home after two years of learning the craft, but even if they didn't come, they heard such a good errand, and they begged their grandfather to tell their grandmother to find a relationship and want to come in. Helplessly, the Guo family is now strict in recruiting people, and they can't get in.

Speaking of which, there is another strange thing that cannot be left unexplained, because it involves the regulatory reform of the Guo family's workshop.

Most of the people who work in the workshop are daughters-in-law and girls. The girl is okay, but the daughter-in-law has a lot of worries and inconveniences: there are fewer opportunities to go home, and there are fewer opportunities to be with men. For the sake of such a high salary, the family can also understand, and they are reluctant to let her quit her job, so they can only survive. But in the long run, it will inevitably affect the life of the couple. It's okay to have a baby, but it's okay if you don't have a baby, if you continue like this, it won't affect the succession?

So, a man who worked as a female worker came up with a brilliant idea: he bought a girl for a few taels of silver and came back as a concubine! How cost-effective it is, some people have earned money, some people have given birth to babies to warm his feet, and some people have done housework at home.

When she heard the news, the woman hid in the corner and wept.

The Guo family was furious from mother-in-law to daughter-in-law to daughter-in-law!

The Wu family thought of being dumb, this situation was too much like after the mute helped the Jiang family, but the Jiang family chose another daughter-in-law and wanted to make the mute a concubine; Cai and Ruan's because they are daughters-in-law, they naturally can't get used to such things - oh, the daughter-in-law is tired and tired to earn money to support the family, and the husband not only does not feel distressed but also uses this money to buy a concubine to be happy, isn't this a stab in the heart of a woman! Mute is a woman in the new society, needless to say indignant at this behavior.

Wu warned the family: If the concubine is not returned, let his daughter-in-law go home.

If you don't have any money to earn, see if you still take a concubine!

Guo Daquan personally went to the door to pass the word.

He smiled at the man, "I said brother, you really want to open it!" Know not to be wronged. I have three brothers in the Guo family. supported such a big business, and never wanted to ask a little wife to come back and give birth. Are you still afraid that no one will take over your business in the future? ”

As he spoke, he swept his gaze around the room, but it was only a few broken tables and chairs.

The man was ashamed. "You can't help but raise a baby......"

Guo Daquan said: "What are you anxious about!" My second brother doesn't have only one girl, and he didn't say that he was in a hurry to ask a little wife to come back and give birth to a son. This woman has to hurry up when she gives birth to a baby, it's not that she can give birth to it. You bear with it first. For your sake, our family has to adjust the rules of work and vacation, and we can't tell everyone to cut off the incense, and no one dares to come at that time. ”

Seeing that the Guo family was giving face like this, the man hurriedly promised to send the girl away.

After this matter is over. The Guo family adjusted the rules for workers to go to work and take vacations, ensuring that every married female weaver could go home for one night every three days, and this gap was replaced by an unmarried girl. Of course, you have to get paid. In addition, maternity leave has been newly introduced: all pregnant female workers can keep their errands and go home to give birth, and then return to work after giving birth. There's also a maternity allowance when I come back.

This is the business strategy of the Guo family: whether it is from the perspective of loyalty or the proficiency of the craft. It is important to keep the old weavers. It's not okay to always make substitutions.

As soon as the new regulations came out, the female weavers were very grateful, especially the female workers of the Guo family who took concubines for their husbands, protected her position in the family, and moved all the female weavers.

Since then, everyone has not only worked hard, but also regarded the Guo family as their mother's family and backer, and they are willing to talk to the Guo family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when they have troubles.

Where the hearts of the people belong, it seems to have become a daughter country. Wu is the queen.

Dumb is naturally a princess, and the weavers call it "our girl" when they mention it.

This is an unexpected bonus. Needless to say, let's talk about the present.

Qingdu, his second sister-in-law and others have been on the boat for a long time, and they have been evacuated all the way home.

In front is the green bamboo sandwich road, which leads directly to the gate of Guo's courtyard.

Looking around, although the grass and trees are withering in winter, the bamboo is still green. In the bamboo forest, a corner of the eaves is occasionally exposed, and a bird is parked on it happily chirping, plus one or two dog calls, child calls, etc., the rural flavor is strong.

She doesn't go out much, and usually goes out by boat on the water in front of the door.

Do the math, this is the first time she has walked this road since she crossed it.

I can't help but smile when I think about it, and I feel that I am not stronger than those young ladies who are raised in the boudoir.

She thinks so, but Nguyen doesn't.

She felt that her sister-in-law was Miss Jiao, so she shouldn't show her face lightly, especially in the countryside, so she couldn't help urging her to be dumb, "Little sister, go faster!" As he spoke, he looked back and forth, for fear that someone would come again. Because along the way, there have been several groups of people who have come and gone, and the people who pass by are curious to focus their eyes on the dumb master and servant.

Nguyen couldn't help but regret that he should have taken a boat around the front.

She deliberately squeezed the dumb in the middle, so that the dumb was always blocked.

Fortunately, I soon arrived at the gate of Guo's Xifang Courtyard.

The west square has been completely separated from the Guo family's residence, and this courtyard gate is specially used for weavers to enter and exit. There is also a door in front, which is the east courtyard gate for the Guo family to enter and exit by themselves.

The guards guarding the door in Xifang were all young men and teenagers, and when they saw Ruan's busy, they all came out to say hello, "The owner's ** milk is back?" Ouch, the girl is back! ”

Ruan Xiu, the leader of the nursing home, was a member of the Ruan clan, and he recognized Qing Mu, so he was surprised to see her appear here. No one else recognized him, and when he heard him call the legendary "girl", he hurried to find his target. Without bothering, his gaze fell on the dumb and thin waist in the middle of the crowd. When I looked at my eyebrows and eyes again, I fixed on Qingdu's body - she had the physiognomy characteristics of the Guo family.

After deciding, they all thought, "The girl is so nice!" ”

They don't know how to describe the purity of the dumbness, they just think "it's so good".

Ruan Shi responded with a smile, pulling his dumb feet and walking straight forward.

Guo Jian and Qiao'er ran to the gate of the courtyard curiously, holding on to the door and looking inside.

Qingdue also looked sideways at the concierge setting, and when she saw that the nurses were all looking at her and smiling, she also smiled politely.

A teenager asked, "Brother Jian and Miss want to go in and see?" ”

As he spoke, the corner of his eye secretly looked dumb and a little nervous.

Guo Jian's eyes showed a look of longing.

Ruan Shi hurriedly shouted: "Qiao'er, Jianwazi is gone!" ”

Qiao'er hurriedly pulled her younger brother to run to keep up, and then crossed the crowd and rushed straight to the east courtyard.

The group walked over, and several teenagers were still looking behind.

Ruan Xiu shouted: "Look at what! It's too unruly to stare at the girl. ”

Everyone withdrew their gaze.

A teenager muttered in a low voice: "Zhang Futian is really a blind bastard!" ”

Thinking about it, he said: "Jiang Minghui is also a bastard!" ”

The other teenager was more straightforward, and said more explicitly, saying: "If you are not satisfied with such a good girl, they deserve to be unlucky!" The tone was very indignant, thinking that if the girl chose him, he would hold the girl in the palm of his hand all his life, so he was reluctant to make her sad.

The Jiang family came to Li Hongjube to settle accounts, and when they heard such a big commotion, they naturally felt a sigh of emotion.

Ruan Xiu didn't understand the thoughts of these kids, and it was a little funny.

When I entered the door of the east courtyard, I was greeted by a familiar scene: the clean path, the house at the end of the road, the trees and bamboo forests around the house, the vegetable patch in front of the house was covered and only a corner was exposed, and the water in front of the house was flowing.

Seeing Qiao'er and Guo Jian running forward, she also picked up her skirt and trotted.

Nguyen did not stop him.

When you get home, you have to be loose.

Hearing the movement, several watchdog dogs came up, barking and jumping, circling around the dumb aunt and nephew, shaking their heads and tails, and sticking out their tongues to lick everywhere. Qiao'er and Guo Jian were not afraid at all, and they hurriedly raised their arms, for fear of being licked by them.

"Dogs! Don't be annoying! Aunt Cai rushed out.

"Grandma, I'm back!" Guo Jian shouted.

"Ouch, my dear! Why did you come back after staying for a few days? Aunt Cai opened her arms at him, took him into her arms, and asked with a smile.

"Come back if you want to!" Qiao'er said matter-of-factly.

Aunt Cai laughed when she heard this, looked at the dumb people, and the Ruan family and others in the back.

"Auntie!" Call her with a dumb smile.

"Tired, aren't you? Why don't you come home by boat and walk here? Aunt Cai asked strangely.

"I'm stiff and want to move." Dumb and dumb.

"Oh! That's, so far away. Go back and rest. After she greeted everyone, she shouted to the house, "Zhu Shun's daughter-in-law, the owner is back!" Hurry up and get ready, tell them to boil hot water, go to the garden and pull some vegetables and come back to cook! ”

Zhu Shun's daughter-in-law agreed loudly, and took a few daughters-in-law and busily drove away.

Guo Dagui got married, the whole Guo family went to the city, and the Xifang side was handed over to Guo Lizheng to manage, and there were big and small stewards below, which was very secure; On the side of the East Courtyard, Aunt Cai was entrusted to guard the principal.

Now everyone goes in, every man to his own house.

Waiting for the boat to deliver the luggage, I was busy sorting it out again.

Qingmu brought the most things, because she planned to study weaving towels at home, and many of the materials and related books she searched in the city were brought back and sorted and placed one by one.

After Guo Dayou came to the house, he went to Xifang to move out the towel weaving machine, found a few henchmen, knocked them all apart, and chopped them into firewood and sent them to the kitchen as firewood. Qing Du also turned out the relevant drawings in the collection and burned them. Since then, the manuscript has been stored in the minds of the Zài siblings.

The only remaining machine is placed in the dumb room in the backyard for her to study.

Guo Dayou wants to improve the machine, and he also came here.

Since then, the brother and sister have devoted themselves to studying towels.

Three days later, Dong'er and several other female workers from the research team also returned, and they also brought a letter from home dictated by Guo Daquan and written by Guo Qin to Qingdu.
