Let the two of them sign the deed of sale, hold their life and death in their hands, and let them not dare to do evil. If adults come up with this method, Mo Chunyue would not be surprised, but Gu Jinli is just a little girl under the age of eleven.

He San snorted angrily: "Don't be smart, she is so shrewd that she blocked our way." If we sell ourselves to her, if we do something wrong, she will really kill us. ”

When he said the last sentence, He San's leper had palpitations. Thinking of being beaten by Gu Jinli and being threatened by her to throw him into the mountains to feed the wolves, he couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing this, Mo Chunyue asked him, "What's wrong?" Is it cold? ”

She saw that the clothes on He San's leper were really tattered, so she turned around and took out a sewing basket from the cage given by Mrs. He, took out a rope from it, measured He San's leprosy, and tied a knot to mark it.

After measuring, he took out the cotton cloth given by Mrs. He, cut the fabric, and made clothes for He San's leper.

He San was very excited, and asked her nervously: "You, you want to make clothes for me?" ”

Mo Chunyue nodded: "Well, while it's still early, I'll make you clothes, and I'll visit the Gu family tomorrow." ”

When He San Leper heard this, he was so frightened that he was not moved, and exclaimed: "You, you are going to visit the Gu family?" Who to visit? Gu Xiaoyu? ”

Mo Chunyue corrected him: "It's we going to visit the Gu family, naturally we are visiting the head of the Gu family, as well as Gu Jinli." ”

He San leper said: "That girl doesn't like us, if we go up without saying hello like this, she will beat us out." ”

That girl is a spicy and ruthless girl, and she can really do anything to knock them out of the door.

Mo Chunyue said: "Even if she knocks us out, we have to go there, if we don't go, our family won't be able to live." ”

As she spoke, Mo Chunyue had already clicked a few times and cut out two pieces of cotton cloth.

He San knew that she was going to beg Gu Jinli for work, but: "If she doesn't let go, what if we still want to sell ourselves?" ”

When Mo Chunyue heard this, she paused for a moment and said, "I beg for a look first, and then I will talk about it, if it doesn't work, I'll talk about it then." ”

Mo Chunyue made up her mind to visit the Gu family, and then begged Gu Jinli for work.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, He San didn't say anything, but went to the kitchen happily and made a meal of meat porridge for Mo Chunyue, and the newlywed couple happily ate the meat porridge.

……

In the afternoon, He Laoguo and the others finally sorted out the wasteland of Qin Gu Luotian's family, called the third grandfather and the men of each family to the wasteland, pointed to the wasteland that was connected together, and said: "Brother Gu, Brother Qin, look at it, how is this land organized?" If you are not satisfied, you say, "We will fix it for you." ”

The third grandfather, Luo's father, and Gu Dafu are all veterans of farming, and they walked around the field, grabbed a few handfuls of soil in the field, twisted it in their hands, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, this land is well organized, and you can plant it directly." ”

He Laoguo They opened this wasteland very well, the soil is soft, people step on it, their feet can sink into a palm deep, and the soil is moist, with full water vapor, obviously watered several times, the soil turned out is still gray, with grass and wood ash in it, and even the work of fertilizing the field has helped them do.

In this acre of wasteland, there are also ridges dug up, and they can directly plant seeds.

Gu Dafu looked at those ridges and said with a smile: "This land is also so well prepared, it can directly plant seeds." ”

He Laoguo had been thinking of leaning on the Gu family early on, so when they were preparing the land, they didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and did all the work that should be done and what should not be done.

The third grandfather was very satisfied after seeing the wasteland that had been opened, and paid He Laoguo and them on the spot.

He Laoguo took the seven taels and five hundred dollars handed over by the third grandfather, his hands were trembling, he had never received so much money at once in his life, seven taels and a half of silver, enough to build a mud brick house.

He Dazhu, He Tugou, and He Shengzi were all very happy, and they all smiled vigorously.

The third grandfather talked about repairing the old mud house and making a workshop: "Brother Lao Guo, if you have extra manpower, you can come to help us repair the mud yard, the work is not tired, that is, the old house is made into a workshop, I have worked as a mason with Dashan, we will do the important work, you are the first to work." ”

"This salary is calculated on a daily basis, thirty yuan a day, and one meal."

He Laoguo said: "Willing to do, willing to do, our families are poor, only dry land, no paddy fields, no need to go to the field to plant seedlings in March, what kind of work your family has, we can take it." ”

The workshop is used to grind beans and spices, and when the workshop is in order, they can go to work in the workshop.

The third grandfather is very happy, so it's good, they have been very busy, there are too few people, and they don't know many people, and even fewer people dare to use it, He Laoguo They are honest, if they are willing to work, he doesn't have to ask others for help.

He Laoguo and his four families have more than one, except for the three sons of He Laoguo's family, He Dazhuan, He Tugou, and He Shengzi who went to repair the house, the half-grown children of their four families all went to chop firewood and sell firewood to Gu Jinli's family.

The third grandfather said that they cost firewood to make tofu, and several families have few hands, and then free up manpower to chop firewood, their families will be busier, so they began to buy dry firewood, and this good thing fell on the heads of the four families of He Laoguo.

"A load of dry firewood costs ten cents, and at least ten loads of firewood must be sent to us every day." They have to boil soy milk at home to make tofu, and they also have to go out to the town to sell fried spiced tofu and bean dregs cakes, which consumes a lot of firewood every day, about ten loads.

When they heard He Laoguo, they were even more happy to see their teeth and eyes, and they also went to the town to buy firewood, and a load of dry firewood was ten yuan. Now you don't have to pick it up in the town, you can get ten cents a load by selling it directly to the Gu family, which is much better than picking it up and selling it in the town.

"Okay, that's it, in the future, we will send ten loads of dry firewood to Brother Gu's family every day, and the storage is crisp, just a little bit."

He Laoguo is now very glad that he did not look down on the Gu family like other villagers, but had a good relationship with the Gu family early, and now he sees it, the Gu family leaks electricity from the cracks of his fingers and gives them work, which is enough for them to support their families.

After the matter was settled, He Laoguo and they went home with the silver money, just returned home, just got home, and went out of the mountain with a machete, chopped three loads of firewood and came back, thinking that tomorrow morning they would send three loads of dry firewood to the Gu family, and the remaining seven loads would get up early tomorrow to cut them, and they would send them to the Gu family in the afternoon.

He Laoguo's days have hope, and the four families are full of energy, walking with the wind, sweeping away the decadent atmosphere of not doing work before, squatting at the door of the house and watching the sky.

Mo Chunyue was also worried about the work at home, and the next morning, she and He Sanzi dressed up, packed up two lilys, and went to Village Chief He's house first, and after thanking Village Chief He's family, she rushed to Gu's house.
