Gu Qingzhu glanced back, there were only a few people in the line she was standing on, and she shook her head firmly at Gu Daya.

"What's the matter with you?" Gu Daya couldn't help but run over and ask.

Gu Qingzhu saw that her face was full of anxiety, and suddenly she was very moved, she looked at her and smiled: "I miss home, I want to take Qingying back." ”

Gu Daya was very surprised: "Why didn't you say it earlier, I'...... I'll call them, let's come together, naturally go back together! ”

"Don't ......, I'll just go back by myself, you should stay and stay, do it well, I have already told Mama Guo, she may have to teach you how to reel and pay silk." Gu Qingzhu grabbed Gu Daya, who turned around and wanted to leave.

"I said last time, we are together, I will go wherever you go, and I will never let you alone." Gu Daya sniffed, she no longer persuaded Gu Qingzhu, but stood behind her and lined up.

Gu Qingzhu hurriedly pushed her, and said angrily: "You are stupid, I went back to serve the tea garden and mulberry garden, you have Aunt Sun at home, and Uncle Fu is about to go back, you are not a worker, why should you give up the opportunity to make money!" ”

"Without you, I'm bored here, I have to work, but also guard against people, I'm too tired, it's better to look back at my home and be comfortable, be poor, at least sleep peacefully!" Gu Daya stubbornly refused to leave.

Gu Qingzhu looked at her, her eyes were red, and her throat choked for a while, and she didn't know what to say to persuade her.

Zheng Zhaodi saw that the two of them had been talking for a long time, not only did Gu Qingzhu not come, but Gu Daya stayed behind, seeing that the name had begun to be registered in front, she hurriedly ran over and asked, "What are you doing here?" Missed the opportunity for a while! ”

"We're going home!" Gu Qingzhu and Gu Daya said in unison.

"Huh? Why? Who would dare to bully us at this time? Zheng Zhaodi asked incomprehensibly for a while.

"You just go back with us, you don't know if you're sold!" Gu Daya couldn't explain for a while, so she pulled her behind her.

Gu Xiaohua and Fang Ling were registering, and when they turned their heads, the people behind them were gone, so they had to look around, and when they saw them standing in the other team, they shouted anxiously: "Qingzhu, come quickly!" ”

The three of them shook their hands very tacitly.

At this time, the registered mother-in-law urged her to press her handprint, and Gu Xiaohua and Fang Ling, who didn't know why, had to do it first.

"You're all gone, aren't you?" Gu Xiaohua and Fang Ling rubbed the red clay on their hands and asked suspiciously.

"I wanted to go home alone, but the big girl didn't feel at ease, and I pulled Zhaodi." Gu Qingzhu smiled bitterly.

"Then let's talk to Mama Guo, it's not easy for us to separate." Gu Xiaohua said with a frown.

Gu Qingzhu stopped her and tried her best to persuade: "Don't be like this, the situation of each family is different, your family has someone to take care of, the opportunity to work here is rare, you have learned to reel silk now, and then learn to weave, maybe there will be cutting, sewing and embroidery behind, all of which are crafts that can support people, and in the future, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, we will definitely earn more money, besides, if we come out to do odd jobs next year, with you here, there will always be a ready-made place to go, isn't it?" ”

Fang Ling's temperament is as straightforward as her brother, after listening to Gu Qingzhu's words, she snorted and was happy: "You, you are the most considerate of others, and persuading people is a first-class good word, since this is the case, we will not leave, we Gu Jiaao came, and I still don't believe that we can't take this root!" ”

"Yes!" Gu Xiaohua turned around and secretly wiped her eyes.

"Don't worry, do it here with peace of mind, Mama Guo will take this opportunity to send Gu Erni and Peng Pearl away, I also recommended you to her, she may also teach the double silk technique, and when the time comes, you will naturally be able to gain a firm foothold." Gu Qingzhu whispered to comfort them.

Gu Xiaohua and Fang Ling nodded silently.

At this moment, Mama Guo took the account book and personally calculated the wages of those who chose to leave, but there were only seven or eight people, and the distribution was quickly completed.

Gu Qingzhu got the most, with five taels of silver, Gu Daya and Zheng Zhaodi each had more than three taels, this was the most they earned in their lives, and after receiving the money carefully, the smiles on their faces did not change.

The people who stayed continued to reel the silk, and most of the people who planned to leave packed up their belongings, and the ones that were close had already left like arrows, and Gu Jiaao was far away, and the sun at noon was too strong at this time, so they decided to leave early tomorrow morning, while it was cool.

Gu Qingzhu led Qingying, chatting with the eldest girl Zhaodi, talking about whether to go out for a walk in the afternoon, they have been here for two months, and they have not played seriously in Nancang County.

At this moment, the mother-in-law who was guarding the door suddenly came and said with an unusual look that someone was looking for her outside.

Gu Qingzhu only felt his eyelids jump suddenly, and the four of them hurriedly ran to the gate of the courtyard, and saw Gu Shigen stuffy outside, his gown was full of waves of salt and alkali, and he didn't know what stains were stained on the placket, dotted with stars, and the trouser legs on his legs were even higher and lower, which was obviously very hasty.

The mother-in-law who guarded the door let them out, and Gu Qingzhu called in a low voice: "Uncle Gen, why are you free?" ”

"Qingzhu, it's terrible, something big has happened!" Gu Shigen looked flustered, stared at Gu Qingzhu, and said anxiously.

"Don't worry, what's wrong with the village?" Gu Qingzhu quickly went through it in his mind, Gu's family is only a dozen or so households, at this time, sheep do not give birth, wolves do not go down the mountain, and there are no women to give birth to children, which old family is there? But this should be found by Zheng Jialu, besides, the common feelings of birth, old age, sickness and death will not make a seven-foot man rush like this?

"It's not the village, it's the winery, the village chief has an accident!" Gu Shigen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said quickly.

"What's wrong with my dad?" Gu Daya was frightened all of a sudden, and grabbed Gu Shigen with trembling all over her body and asked.

"Whoa!" Gu Shigen sighed, squatted on the ground, and scratched his head with his hands, "This is a long story, since the tea affair in late spring, we went to Changlong Wine Shop to do odd jobs according to the custom, at that time, your father felt that the color of the bud valley was not good, and suspected that it was Chen, but the manager swore that it was newly harvested last autumn, and he had a big mouth and a small mouth, although there were doubts, but he had to do it."

Then, I found that the fermentation of koji was not good, and the steward complained that we did not steam the grain, and your father took us to work in the brewery for seven or eight years, how could this happen, and then there was a quarrel, and the matter was over.

Until yesterday evening, I started steaming wine, but the amount of wine was not much, and the taste of wine was not good, and the steward said that we did not seal the tank well, leaked the wine, and scolded and scolded all night, your father was angry, and in the morning he couldn't bear to talk to him about the problem of the previous bud valley and koji, so that he was annoyed and angry, and asked his subordinates to put your father ...... Your daddy's leg is broken! ”

"Woo woo, daddy, daddy!" Gu Daya cried loudly.

Gu Qingzhu hurriedly grabbed her shoulders and asked eagerly, "Then where is Uncle Fu now?" ”

Gu Shigen's eyes were full of bloodshots, and then said: "At that time, there was a scuffle, we were outnumbered, and we didn't rob the village chief even if we tried our best.

But we've been out for a few months, and the caretaker hasn't advanced any wages, and now we're penniless, so we'll have to see if you can figure out a way. ”

"We just settled the wages today, we can make up for it!" Gu Qingzhu said, untying his purse.

Gu Daya endured her grief, and also handed her purse to Gu Qingzhu, plus Zheng Zhaodi's, a total of less than twelve taels.

Seeing that Gu Qingzhu counted two or three times, and it was still a lot short of twenty taels, Gu Shigen said anxiously: "You have all settled the accounts, what about my girl, what about her money?" ”

"We only settle the settlement if we don't do it, Xiaohua and Fang Ling still have to stay here, so they haven't paid their salaries." Gu Qingzhu patiently explained.

Gu Shigen gritted his teeth: "I'm waiting for money to save people at this time, let's talk about it later." ”

"Otherwise, if you come in with us, I beg Mama to let her settle Xiaohua's account in advance." Gu Qingzhu thought for a while.

"That's it." Gu Shigen let out a heavy sigh.

Gu Qingzhu and the others came in, and met Peng Pearl and Gu Erni leaving with their baggage, Yang Daniu followed behind to see them, Gu Erni suddenly saw Gu Shigen, very embarrassed, but saw that he didn't even look at her, and he didn't even recognize her at all, with a dark face, he walked straight past her.

Gu Erni wondered in her heart, she couldn't help but slow down, and after a closer look, she found that Gu Qingzhu's face was serious, Zheng Zhaodi was panicked, and Gu Daya seemed to have cried, her nose and eyes were red.

She thought to herself that this must be a great event.

It's a pity that she can't stay here to watch the excitement anymore, but as long as she doesn't feel happy watching them, she feels very happy!

Yang Daniu also turned her head to look at Gu Qingzhu and her party, no matter how dull she was, she could see that they were in trouble.

Gu Erni and Peng Pearl walked out of the weaving workshop door and walked away, without even looking back to say goodbye to Yang Daniu.

Gu Qingzhu begged to go to Mama Guo, only saying that something had happened at home and was anxious to use the money, Mama Guo was also happy, immediately found out the account book, settled it for Gu Xiaohua, and Fang Ling also calculated the money, but with the two of them, there was still one and a half short of twenty taels, and a few people didn't know what to do for a while, and where to raise the rest.

"Miss Gu, if you don't dislike it, take two taels from my account." Yang Dayu suddenly stepped in and said.

At this time, it is important to save people, Gu Qingzhu is not pretending to be polite, and hurriedly thanks: "Thank you so much, as soon as I have the money, I will pay you back." ”

"Don't worry, I plan to work here for a long time, and we'll meet again in the future." Yang Dayu smiled shyly.

With more than 20 taels of life-saving money, Gu Qingzhu entrusted Qingying to Zhao Di, she and the eldest girl followed Gu Shigen to Changlong Wine Shop quickly, and the three of them were so anxious that they couldn't wait to get their wings.

Steward Hu didn't expect Gu Shigen to really find twenty taels of silver, and he immediately forced them to set up a note of arrears, and then threw Gu Shifu out.

The dignified seven-foot man was curled up on the ground, his left leg was dripping with blood, his entire trouser leg was stained red with blood, ticking along the trouser legs, his face was even more painful, and he was dripping with cold sweat.

"Daddy!" Gu Daya rushed up like crazy to untie the ropes on his body.

Gu Shifu has been gritting his teeth to stay awake, and now he saw his most beloved daughter, and looked around at the people around him, a smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, and in an instant, his head tilted, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and fainted.

Gu Qingzhu wanted to check his legs, but the tentacles were hard bones, and the injuries were obviously much more serious than she imagined: "Uncle Gen, don't move his legs!" ”

As he was talking, Fang Kui and Gu Qingshui borrowed a pair of door panels from the old family, and everyone carefully carried Gu Shifu up.

"Such a serious bone injury can only be cured by Mr. Tan from Dexing Pharmacy." Gu Qingzhu gritted his teeth and said.

"Then what are we waiting for, hurry up!" Fang Kui let out a low roar.
