Without waiting for Gui Chongyang to reply, Gui Er's grandfather had already scolded: "Old Five, what are you doing here?" Don't worry about Chongyang's silver, do you still look like an uncle? No one was allowed to touch the fifty taels of silver, but kept them to buy land and repair the house. ”

"Dad misunderstood, I didn't care about Chongyang's silver, before Chongyang said to buy an adjacent yard in the town and take care of each other. That's what I mean, thinking about buying a house in the town, so I asked. Gui Wu hurriedly said.

Gui Chongyang nodded: "It was mentioned by Sun Er before, the second grandfather should not misunderstand the fifth uncle." ”

Second Grandpa Gui's face still didn't improve, he stopped and stared at Gui Wu.

Gui Wu was looked straight at it: "Dad, what's the matter?" ”

Second Grandpa Gui frowned tightly: "Son, you have to talk about your conscience as a person, and we can't do that kind of thing that loses your conscience!" ”

This is clueless, Gui Wu was confused: "What did my son do?" ”

Gui Chongyang's bystander Qing saw Gui's second grandfather's worries, and said, "Fifth uncle, second grandfather is worried that you have secretly deposited Master Jiang's silver. ”

Only then did Gui Wu react, blushing and said, "In my father's eyes, my son is such a greedy villain?" You can rest assured, my son's money is all innocent, and he has partnered with others to do some small business before, and he doesn't have a lot of money, but he is barely enough to buy a yard in the town. ”

"It's really not from the Jiang family's teahouse?" Grandpa Gui will be skeptical.

Gui Wu picked the corners of his mouth and said, "Several sisters and brothers-in-law are staring at the tent of the teahouse, if the son really dares to stretch out his hand, can they watch?" ”

Second Grandpa Gui breathed a sigh of relief: "Others are others, you are you." Don't stick to the things that shouldn't be touched, otherwise you won't be able to hold them. No matter what, your father-in-law's family is the benefactor of our Gui family. Just see that the silver saved Chun'er's life at the beginning, we can't be sorry for the Jiang family! ”

Gui Wu nodded hurriedly and said: "That's natural, not only the original life-saving grace, but also in the past ten years, the father-in-law and mother-in-law regard their son as a parent, and the son does not dare to forget this kindness." Several sisters and brothers-in-law are not generous, and the meaning of the son, although he changed his surname and returned to his ancestry, he should still provide for the old people over there after that. ”

Second Grandpa Gui was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said, "It should be like this." ”

Gui Wu looked at Gui Er's grandfather's expression, and he was also relieved in his heart. That's how he planned, and explained it clearly to his father and mother as soon as possible, so that the second elder also had a preparation in his heart. Being filial to your father-in-law and father-in-law does not mean that you are not filial to your father and mother, but you must always accept it in your heart, and don't have pimples.

Gui Chongyang was beside him, and when he heard this, he only did not hear it, and looked around.

Someone hurriedly walked by with a sickle on the road, and Grandpa Gui looked at the sky and said, "Tomorrow is good, and the wheat at home can be harvested!" ”

When Gui Chongyang heard this, he couldn't help but be excited: "Is it that when the wheat comes down, you can eat new white noodles?" My aunt said this yesterday. ”

Grandpa Gui said with a wry smile: "Where each family has six or seven points of land, it would be good to be able to produce more than one stone of wheat, and one stone of wheat is two hundred and fifty wen, which is an income, but it is not easy to eat in vain." ”

Gui Chongyang immediately stopped his voice, don't you still understand the truth of "following the customs"? The longer I get, the more useless I get. The sorghum rice and small rice are the rations of the elders, and if they can eat them, why can't they eat them themselves? Well, what white noodles are in mind?

Gui Chongyang was a little ashamed.

The next day, the weather was fine, and Gui Er's grandfather sent Gui Wu to take Gui Chun to the old house in the front yard, which was to help cut wheat here.

There is such a thing every year, and the second grandmother of Gui has not been unhappy before, the two families are close relatives, Mei's is a niece, and it is nothing to help do some work, but with Gui Chongyang, the second grandmother of Gui is divided into inside and outside.

"Dead old man, you don't feel sorry for your children and grandchildren, I'm still in my heart! That little cub is back, he has to do the work he should do, everything is covered, can he be a young master? "Grandma Gui is not angry in the end, chattering.

Second Grandpa Gui glanced at the West Chamber, and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Even if you learn agriculture, you can't learn it in a day, you have to teach it slowly. ”

Second Grandma Gui rolled her eyes: "What to teach?" Look at it, it's the wind that falls, you see, it's designated to find a reason to be lazy. ”

Second Grandpa Gui was noncommittal, but he didn't continue to grind his teeth with his wife.

In the West Chamber, Jiang heard the conversation between his in-laws, thinking about Gui Chongyang, who was already an orphan, who was so thin and weak, and was afraid of being tired from studying, where did he seem to be able to do farm work? If he can have a child, he will not be much younger than Gui Chongyang, and his heart is sour, and he can't bear to give birth to it inexplicably.

In the backyard of the old house, Gui Chongyang held a sickle and followed behind Gui Wu and Gui Chun, not blindly doing anything, but observing the movements of the two first.

Gui Chun's hands and feet were nimble, and when he raised his hand and fell, a handful of wheat was cut; On the contrary, it is Gui Wu's side, the movements are similar, but they are a little rusty and can't use their strength, and they often have to cut several times.

Gui Chun saw Gui Chongyang holding a sickle and straightened his waist: "Chongyang, don't play with a sickle, cut your hands carefully, and when you are bored, you will go to the vegetable field to pick and eat every day, that is sweet." ”

"Tiantian" is a kind of purple and black berry the size of a small thumb cover, and it will grow every year after one in the vegetable field, because the plum loves to eat, so there are a few left in the vegetable garden here. Gui Chun knew, so he used that to coax Gui Chongyang.

Gui Chongyang's face was full of black lines: "Brother Chun, I didn't play, I want to learn to cut wheat." ”

Gui Chun shook his head and said, "Where can you cut wheat with that hand?" ”

Gui Chongyang snorted: "Brother Chun, has he forgotten my strength?" With that, he bent down, followed Gui Chun's previous movements, grabbed a handful of wheat, and swung his scythe.

When Gui Chun and Gui Wu saw it, they were startled, for fear that he would cut himself, but they didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of startling him into an accident.

Although because of the unfamiliar posture for the first time and the wrong strength, Gui Chongyang cut the wheat unevenly, but it still succeeded.

Gui Chongyang held the wheat with a smug face.

Gui Chun and Gui Wu saw that Gui Chongyang looked good, and they didn't come nonsense, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Gui Chongyang had already put down the wheat in his hand and bent down again.

Gui Wu and Gui Chun saw that he was full of interest, showing a little childishness, and they didn't want to ruin his interest, so they didn't stop him anymore.

This side is six acres of land, Gui Chun moves quickly, and he cuts a ridge in a short time; Gui Wu is slightly worse, and there are also large half ridges; It's Gui Chongyang, who came from behind, and wants to catch up with Gui Wu.

Gui Wu saw it and hurriedly said: "Chongyang is slow, don't be tired." ”

Gui Chongyang's mouth responded, but his subordinates did not stop. It's not that he likes to work, it's that he doesn't dare to stop, because as soon as he stops, he doesn't want to move anymore.

Get up, bend over, bend over, get up, a few simple actions, but it makes people want to die; Coupled with the increasingly hot sun above his head, Gui Chongyang's feet began to tremble and sweat.

Gui Chongyang told himself that he was going to be the patriarch, not a child that everyone had to take care of. Now that Uncle Gui is back at home, if he can't prove that he is already an adult, he will not be able to speak in the future.

Holding his breath of anger, Gui Chongyang followed behind Gui Wu and Gui Chun, and cut all the wheat in six points in one go.

Putting down the wheat in his hand, Gui Chongyang reached the ground with a butt, and said with a wheezing voice: "It's not easy for farmers to do, let's still be landlords in the future......"
