Just under the curious eyes of everyone, Gu Tianya's old lady walked out.

In the left hand, he holds a box.

In his right hand, he also holds a box.

The box in the left hand was small, about the size of an adult's fist, and the whole box was boxy, looking like a relatively regular box.

As for the box in the right hand, it is made of wood, and the box is not too big, probably enough to hold a few books.

I saw the old lady coming all the way, handing the box to Gu Tianya with both hands at the same time, for some reason, she suddenly sighed softly, as if she was reluctant: "These are all things left by your father, you can use ......them in the future."

What Gu Tianya's father left behind?

The two little ears of the goddess of war instantly stood up......

It's a pity that Gu Tianya's wife didn't say anything more. Seeing Gu Tianya nodding solemnly, he said softly: "Don't worry, children never spoil things." ”

As he spoke, he took the two boxes in his hands.

The goddess of war was full of curiosity, and couldn't help but put her little head up, and she blinked at the box on the left with a pair of eyes, and found a strange line of words written on it.

Boxy, should be Chinese characters.

It's written in a weird way, and I always feel plausible.

The goddess of war tried hard to watch it for a long time, but in the end she could only recognize one of the words.

That word, pronounce 'powder'.

There is also a character behind the word 'powder', which looks like the character '筆' of a pen painting.

The two words are exactly one before the other, and when they are coherent, they should be pronounced as 'chalk'.

"Powder... Chalk? The goddess of war hesitated to read aloud, her little head full of confusion that she knew nothing.

In addition to these two words, she can recognize the other words, and she doesn't know the other words at all, obviously it looks like words, but her eyes are black.

She couldn't help but reach out and want to touch it, her eyes flashed with great curiosity, and she stumbled again, saying, "Pink... Chalk? ”

Gu Tianya laughed on the side, nodded and encouraged her: "Yes, you read it right, these two words are just pronounced as chalk!" ”

The goddess of war's eyes suddenly lit up, and hurriedly poked her little head again, she looked at the small box with blinking eyes, and asked impatiently: "Is there still a word on it?" It's a pity that I don't recognize all of them, do you recognize them? Tell me what to read! ”

Gu Tianya didn't seem to hesitate, opened his mouth and read it to her directly, and said, "Guangdong State-owned Chalk Factory." ”

The female god of war's eyes were obviously confused, and she said in confusion: "What do you mean?" ”

Gu Tianya hesitated this time, and only said softly after a long time: "I don't know, my mother doesn't want to say it." ”

He said and looked at the old lady, with obvious anticipation in his eyes.

The female god of war's heart moved slightly, and hurriedly looked at Gu Tianya's old lady, and pleaded pitifully: "If you tell him about it, I feel that he is very eager to know." ”

It's a pity that Gu Tianya's old lady shook her head and smiled gently: "Let's talk about it when he grows up." ”

The female god of war was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Tianya is already eighteen, isn't eighteen years old still growing up?" ”

As a result, the old lady still smiled warmly, and said again: "I haven't started a family!" Didn't start a business! You don't have to ask, this matter is not negotiable, when will he let me hold my grandson, when will I tell him everything. Now, no. ”

Although these words were said very gently, but the tone was undoubtedly firm, Gu Tianya was obviously disappointed, but he still nodded, and said with a respectful face: "Okay, I won't force you." When are you going to let you hold your grandchildren, when are you telling me everything. ”

However, the female god of war was an impatient, and almost blurted out: "It's not easy to hug your grandson?" I'll be able to have a big fat boy next year......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that there were people all around, and his little face was as red as fire, and he became ashamed and ashamed in an instant.

Suddenly, like an ostrich, she lowered her little head and tried to justify: "I... What I just asked for was that I'm an aunt... As... As his elder, I will help him check next year and let him marry a daughter-in-law, and then, his daughter-in-law will give him a big fat boy, well, that's it, that's what I mean, do you believe it when I say this? ”

After explaining for a long time, the voice became smaller and quieter, and finally it almost became like a mosquito humming, because she didn't even believe this defense.

Her face turned even redder, and in a trance, she only felt that everyone around her seemed to be secretly laughing at her, and in her extreme shame, she suddenly became wise in a hurry, and hurriedly looked up at Gu Tianya, changed the topic and asked, "What are these two boxes for?" ”

What are the two boxes for?

Gu Tianya was asked by her, and suddenly remembered that he still had something to do, he quickly gathered all kinds of thoughts, opened the small box on the left and said: "This is filled with chalk, which can be easily written and erased......

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to a fence in the courtyard, where he saw a black wooden board hanging on the fence wall, on which he drew lightly with chalk.

Suddenly, the black background was marked with white strokes, which was particularly distinct.

At this time, he explained carefully, and said with a smile: "We need to discuss how to build a post station tonight, and it is difficult for everyone to have an intuitive impression just by talking about it, so I asked my mother for help and asked her to take out the chalk for me to use." ”

He paused at this point, raised his hand and drew a box on the blackboard with chalk, and smiled again: "Look, I drew a box first, what is this box for?" We can think of it as the gate of the inn......"

As he spoke, he paused again, then picked up the chalk again, drew a white line along each side of the frame, and said with a smile: "Let's look at these two white lines again, you can see the two courtyard walls on both sides of the post gate!" ”

A box that represents the gate?

Two white lines, representing the courtyard wall?

Everyone stared at the blackboard, trying to understand what Gu Tianya meant.

Gu Tianya said again: "After painting the gate and courtyard wall, you can then draw each house, through the sketch of one stroke, you can see what the post station will look like, if you feel that something is wrong, directly wipe it and change it, do you think this method is very convenient?" Isn't it a great place for everyone to discuss alterations together? ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and everyone stared at the blackboard, and everyone was amazed and felt very fresh.

Niu Lao Si touched his head, and said first: "I want to build a stable, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Gu Tianya laughed and said: "Since it is a post station, of course there must be a stable, the stable not only has to be built, but also has to be built very large, Fourth Brother Niu's proposal is very good, the younger brother will mark the location of the stable first." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the chalk and drew a box on the blackboard.

Although the frame was extremely simple, everyone couldn't help but see the box as a stable, and the old cow smiled with a big mouth, and said with joy on his face: "This stable is good, and the location is not far from the gate." ”

Suddenly, a soldier followed and cautiously asked, "We need to be stationed at the post station in the future, should we build some barracks?" ”

"Naturally!" Gu Tianya nodded hurriedly and said with encouragement: "The advice made by this eldest brother is very good, and our post station planning has taken another step." ”

The soldier suddenly opened his mouth, feeling that he had a chance to be in the limelight.

With such a person taking the lead, the eyes of the other soldiers became hot, so in the blink of an eye, they all began to come up with ideas, but Gu Tianya did not listen immediately this time, but chose to stand there and listen quietly.

He already had a good idea of the planning of the post station, and he would not completely follow the suggestions of these soldiers, and the so-called discussion was actually just to listen to everyone's ideas in order to check and fill in the gaps......

It's a pity that these soldiers are too knowledgeable to make too good suggestions, so in the end, they have to rely on Gu Tianya himself, and the soldiers' suggestions are not beyond the scope of his imagination at all.

But he listened quietly to all the suggestions, and did not begin to write again until everyone had finished speaking.

First, he drew a row of small boxes, representing houses.

Secondly, he drew another small row of boxes representing the bazaar.

In the end, he continued to write and draw, painting a whole blackboard, drawing and explaining, and gradually, the pattern of the whole post station was clearly revealed, and everyone's faces showed a look of expectation.

The night was late and the weather was getting colder, but everyone felt a fire in their hearts and wanted to build this inn as soon as possible.

When it comes to building, you have to have people.

At this time, Gu Tianya's tone finally changed and he said his other purpose.

He said softly: "This post station will garrison 100 people, with 1,000 acres of fertile land, and it will affect the surrounding 50 miles, so this project will be very large, and we will definitely not be enough alone, so we need to hire someone to help." ”

"Brother Gu, we can do it ourselves!" The soldiers immediately shouted and actively said, "We don't need to hire people at all, we can build the post station ourselves." At best, it's hard work, but it's much easier than fighting. ”

Gu Tianya smiled and nodded in approval, but his meaning remained unchanged, and continued: "It can be built, but it will be very slow, if you choose to hire people, then it will be another speed." ”

Zhao Ning suddenly spoke, slightly hesitating, "Who do you want to hire to help?" ”

This sounds like curiosity, but it is actually helping Gu Tianya find a step.

Gu Tianya glanced at her, and gently spit out two words: "Poor! ”

Although these two words are very soft, Gu Tianya said very firmly, his eyes slowly looked at the night sky, as if muttering: "Not only do you need to hire people to build houses, but you also need to hire people in other places, such as the thousand acres of the post station, reclamation and cultivation require manpower, this is a good opportunity, so that many people can earn food for the winter......"

He seemed to be looking forward to the future, and his face was full of happiness.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and gradually became excited, and said with a happy face: "You can imagine how many poor people will benefit from this opportunity, let's hire them to work, and they can give copper money or food every day, after they earn money and food, they can feed the family and not starve to death, how good, Zhao Ning said right, how good this is!" ”

He said happily, his tone was full of excitement, he subconsciously grabbed Zhao Ning's hand with both hands, and kept saying: "From now on, we will never see the tragedy of Ah Yao's mother, starving to death at home in the cold weather, we no longer have to see people like the fourth sister-in-law, forced to work with hunger and die in the ditch, Zhaoning, Zhaoning, imagine it, how good this is......"
