At the head of the village, under the big banyan tree hugged by six people, several old ladies were doing needlework, chattering.

"Hey, have you heard? Yesterday, the village chief's house was very lively, and it is said that the Lin family of Gu Qi's family has established a female household. ”

"I know about this, the Lin family's female household is still the county order to help, no, the Huang family sent someone to Gu Qijia today to get back the bride price, the bride price was taken by the seventh brother and sister to pay the Lin family's medical expenses, the seventh brother and sister were unwilling to take out the money again, so they took their daughter-in-law to the Lin family's house to make a fuss and asked the Lin family to give money."

"Did the Lin family give it?"

"I didn't give it, the daughter of the Lin family found the patriarch."

"Lin's daughter is good, she is clever."

"This child is good, but these seven brothers and sisters and her daughter-in-law were punished by the patriarch to kneel in the ancestral hall, I think they will hate the Lin family mother and daughter to death, and the two of them will have a hard time in the future."

"That's their fate, too... This patriarch has been punished too severely! ”

"Hey, yesterday the village chief didn't give the patriarch any face, this patriarch lost face, this can't save face!"

"You said the village chief didn't give ......"

The woman saw Gu Jinxiu walking towards them, and hurriedly stopped, and at the same time glanced at the people around her.

Gu Jinxiu pursed her lips and said it so loudly that she heard it from afar.

If it weren't for her gossip, she would have wanted to slow down and continue listening!

The people sitting looked at Gu Jinxiu one after another, and Gu Jinxiu hurriedly greeted him.

Several people responded to Gu Jinxiu, and then they asked Gu Jinxiu about yesterday's events.

After Gu Jinxiu answered a few questions in a row, she really couldn't stand the curiosity of these people's gossip, and she was also afraid of bad words, so she fled from here in a hurry.

I thought that the next time she went back to the village, she would come back while she was having dinner.

When she returned home, Gu Jinxiu saw that dustpans containing grapefruit leaves were being placed on the shelves in the courtyard to dry, He was cleaning mugwort leaves, and Gao's mother and daughter were making mugwort leaf poop.

He raised his head and looked at Gu Jinxiu and said, "Jinhao, you're back, your uncle just came to ask about debt collection, do you want to get the money?" ”

"Nope."

Gu Jinxiu walked to He's side and said, "Mother, don't go to the ground these days, you and Gao's mother and daughter will make Ai Ye Baba together, and I will go to work." ”

She wants to dig the ground and sow grain seeds, after all, this matter and the purchase of land have not been told to the He family!

He frowned, let the Gao family mother and daughter make Ai Ye Baba will definitely not be busy, if she stays at home, the work in the field will be handed over to Gu Jinxiu, who has never done farm work, she is not at ease.

I was a little embarrassed for a while.

Gu Jinxiu walked towards the kitchen while carrying the basket containing mugwort leaves, and said: "In previous years, my mother waited for someone else's house to finish it, and we hired someone to do it, so let's do it this year!" And I've also had someone build a new set of farming tools, which will definitely be faster than in previous years. ”

He Shi thought for a while and said, "Okay, just do as you say." By the way, when will we do the mugwort that the county order wants. ”

There are still four days left until today's February.

There are simply not enough people!

In the cooperation with the steward of Delicious Building, he didn't say that she was not allowed to sell, so she still wanted to make a lot of money in this month or so! Gu Jinxiu proposed: "Mother, let's hire some more people!" ”

Thinking that the business had just started, He refused: "No, we can be busy." ”

Gu Jinxiu persuaded and said: "Mother, we need mugwort leaves and grapefruit leaves to make mugwort leaf poop, you all day make mugwort leaf baba at home, who will pick these things?" ”

He thought about it too, so he responded to the matter.

Gu Jinxiu wanted to take care of the Lin family's mother and daughter, so she mentioned it in passing, as for whether to hire them or not, it depends on the He family.

He sympathized with Lin's mother and daughter and wanted to take care of their mother and daughter, so he agreed to the matter, saying that he would go to Lin's tonight and let her come to work at home tomorrow.

The matter was negotiated, and Gu Jinxiu didn't care about Ai Yeba's affairs anymore.

In the following days, Gu Jinxiu was busy in the field every day.

She is ready to reclaim the fields and come out to raise seedlings.

And the He family is busy making mugwort baba.

Every morning, Shopkeeper Zhao will order someone to pick it up.

When the carriage entered the village, it naturally aroused discussion among the villagers.

At the same time, the villagers began to inquire about Gu Jinxiu's family.

However, the matter of making Ai Ye Baba was tightly covered by Gu Jinxiu's family, and the villagers only knew that Gu Jinxiu's family was working for the delicious building in the county seat, and they didn't know anything else.

Three days have passed in a flash......

Gu Jinxiu secretly dug a small circular cellar in the backyard of the house, where the leeward and sunny place was dry.

She built a small mound around the cellar, spread a layer of bamboo branches at the bottom of the cellar, put another layer of grass on the branches and around the cellar, and then put a straw mat on the grass.

When she had done this, she preheated the seeds soaked in lime water with warm water, packed them in a basket and linen cloth and put them in the cellar, and filled them with grass around and on top of the basket and linen.

Finally, she covered the cellar mouth with a wooden plank and pressed it tightly.

Looking at the fruits of her labor, Gu Jinxiu hooked the corners of her lips and smiled, she can sow seeds tomorrow.

"Jin Hao, where are you, don't hurry up."

Hearing He's urging from the front yard, Gu Jinxiu responded: "It's here." ”

Today, their family is going to the market, and by the way, they will send the 2,000 mugwort baba that Li Mojin wanted.

When they came to the front yard, Gu Jinxiu saw that the He family had already loaded the basket onto the ox cart, and they were already sitting on the ox cart.

Now it's up to her as a driver.

Gu Jinxiu got on the ox cart and skillfully drove the ox cart, the wheels were spinning, and the ox cart set off slowly.

Last night, I heard Gu Jinxiu say that she took the ox cart she drove to the market today, but He was worried all night.

Now she was relieved to see that Gu Jinxiu was skillful and drove the ox cart very well.

"I'm so capable, it didn't take long for me to learn how to drive a car."

Gu Jinxiu nodded slightly.

Yesterday, she went to the county seat to buy a cow, and by the way, she bought an ox cart.

After returning, it took her an afternoon to finally learn to drive an ox cart.

No, it's just right for today.

When the ox cart drove to the head of the village, Gu Jinxiu saw that the Li family was coming to their side, and immediately shook the cow's back with a whip, and the cow "mooed" and ran forward quickly.

Li's thought of hitchhiking instantly became a bubble, and he ate a mouthful of dust, "Bah, it's amazing to have an ox cart, change Ming'er, my son became a big official and bought me a carriage, I envy you to death!" ”

Then, Li shouted again: "Gu Jinhao will remember to send your grandparents' clothes tomorrow." ”

The words drifted to Gu Jinxiu's ears with the wind, and He said, "Jinhao, are we doing this well?" Also When did you take your grandparents' clothes? ”

Thinking that tomorrow will be in February, and her agreement with the Li family has also arrived, Gu Jinxiu said again: "Mother, I didn't take my grandparents' clothes, so I said that I would send spring shirts to my grandparents on the day of the society." Remember to buy a spring shirt for your grandparents today. ”

Ho asked, "Why?" ”

Gu Jinxiu told him what he had agreed with the Li family a few days ago.

He said: "Why didn't you say it earlier, I ......"

Gu Jinxiu hurriedly interrupted, took out a bag of silver and handed it to the He family, "Mother, you don't have time at all these days, what should you do, na, you can take these silver money to buy a set of spring shirts for your grandparents." ”

He Shi took the silver, didn't care about the word "suitable" that Gu Jinxiu specially emphasized, and asked, "Where did you get the money?" ”

After making money these days, Gu Jinxiu only took the capital, and gave her the rest.

Gu Jinxiu casually made an excuse and said, "I used to copy books and sell them." ”

He thought that Gu Jinxiu would follow Gu Jinhao to copy books in the past, and nodded slightly.

Gu Jinxiu saw that He didn't ask again, so she quickly changed the topic.

In the midst of small talk, they came to the county seat.
