After a few days of busy work, the Gu family, the Shang family, and the Jiang family finally arrived on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.

Gu Jinli's family got up early, the whole family changed into new clothes, and then called Qin Gu Luotian's family, Gu Daya's family, and He Jinsheng's ancestors and grandchildren, and a group of people took the mule cart of the workshop and went to Shangjia Village.

Although it was Gu Jin'an's apprenticeship, Shang Xiu knew that Qin Gu Luotian's family had a good relationship, so he invited their families to come.

As for Village Chief He's family, it was because He Jinsheng was going to take the Xiucai exam this year, and he was familiar with Gu Jin'an, so he also went together.

The Jiang family attaches great importance to today's apprenticeship, Jiang Jiao personally took Ah Jiu to wait at the intersection of Shangjia Village, and after seeing the Gu family's mule cart, he greeted him with a big smile: "You guys are really punctual, you said that the hour will arrive at the hour, it is not bad at all, if I slow down for a while, I won't be able to pick you up." ”

The auspicious time for apprenticeship is set at the right moment, and the Gu family said that they will come over at the time of Chenshi.

Jiang Jiao looked at Gu Jinan again, and saw that he was dressed in a new dress, and his face was full of young spirit, so he patted Gu Jin'an on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Yes, I have grown up a lot more than when I first met you." ”

Gu Jinan smiled: "It's been more than three years, so naturally I want to grow up." ”

He waved at Jiang Jiao again: "Second Uncle Jiang has worked hard these days, please accept Brother An'er's worship." ”

Jiang Jiao hurriedly helped him up: "Don't worship, the relationship between our two families still says these things, then you are treating my Jiang family as an outsider." ”

Gu Jinan said with a smile: "I don't treat the Jiang family as an outsider, don't I want to thank Second Uncle Jiang first, pretend to be well-behaved, and when I have something to ask for in the future, it will be easy to speak." ”

"Haha, you kid. Okay, what I said to you today, Second Uncle Jiang promised you that in the future, as long as Second Uncle Jiang can do it, he will definitely do it for you. Jiang Jiao has been with the Gu family for a few years, and the two families have long been familiar with each other, not paying too much attention to it, and after saying a few common words, he sat on the front board of the Gu family's mule cart and took the big guy to Shang Xiucai's house.

According to the rules, Shang Xiucai, as a master, could not come to greet Gu Jin'an, a student, but the middle door of the Shang family had been opened, and Shang Xiucai used this way to express his attention to Gu Jin'an.

Qin Gu Luotian's family entered the Shang family together, and the female dependents followed Peaches to the back house, where Mrs. Jiang and the Jiang family entertained together.

Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Dahu came to the Shang family the day before yesterday, and now they are waiting for the daughters of several families with the Jiang family at the second gate.

Cui Shi saw it and hurriedly said, "Mrs. Jiang, you are an elder, how can I let you come to pick us up." ”

Mrs. Jiang smiled: "The old woman is not here to pick you up, I am here to pick up the third sister-in-law of the Gu family." ”

This third sister-in-law of the Gu family is talking about the third grandmother.

Mrs. Jiang took the third grandmother's hand and said, "Old sister-in-law, I have worked hard for you today, the weather is still strangely cold, let's hurry into the house to talk, the house is warm." ”

The third grandmother smiled: "Eh, let's go in and talk." ”

He also greeted the female relatives of several families: "Tiezhu's daughter-in-law and Damu's daughter-in-law, all go in, don't block here." ”

After speaking, he looked at Chen, who was looking east and west, and warned her with his eyes not to make too much noise, so as not to find scolding.

Chen directly ignored the gaze of the third grandmother and looked at Shang Fu. In the past, she dreamed of coming to Shang Xiucai's house as a guest, but now that the family has earned money, and after going to the county seat a few times, now when she looks at Shang Xiucai's house, she pouts her lips and thinks with a little disgust: This Xiucai's old man's mansion is not good, and it is not as good as the Xia family's house in the town.

"Sister Xiaoyu." Yuan Yuan was wearing a red brocade jacket skirt, ran over like a small round ball and hugged Gu Jinli's hand, and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, you are finally here, Yuan Yuan has been waiting for you for a long time, Yuan Yuan will take you to play." ’

Yuan Yuan and Shang Xiucai's husband and wife are completely different, she is a lively little girl, she doesn't like to stay with adults, and she can't help it after a morning of rules. After seeing Gu Jinli, he immediately dragged her to play.

Jiang scolded: "Why don't you kid understand the rules at all, your sister Xiaoyu just came, and she hasn't sat down to take a breath, don't mess with her, otherwise your mother will punish you." ”

Yuan Yuan was a little aggrieved, looked at Gu Jinli and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, I'm sorry." ”

Gu Jinli knew that Yuan Yuan was bored, and asked with a smile: "Where does Yuan Yuan want to take us to play?" ”

She pointed to Gui Niu, Jin Niu, Luo Huiniang and Tian Xiaohua and said, "They are going too." ”

Yuan Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Well, let's go together." ”

ran over and grabbed Gui Niu's hand and said, "Sister, Sister Yuan Yuan will take you to play." ”

Gui Niu was not afraid of life, and nodded with a smile: "Okay." ”

Yuan Yuan was even more happy, holding Gui Niu with one hand and Gu Jinli with the other, beckoning Luo Huiniang and Jin Niu, and taking them to the garden of the back house.

Xiao Ji also followed.

Seeing this, Jiang's eyes were red, and she blamed her for her stomach, and she failed to give Yuan Yuan a younger brother and sister, so that Yuan Yuan grew up alone, and she was so happy when she saw children of the same age.

Mrs. Jiang said to her: "Today is a happy day, you are also a teacher, and the responsibility in the future will be a little heavier than before, but you are not a little girl, and you will not be happy to drop horse urine again." ”

Jiang hurriedly put away his tears and said, "What my mother said is that I am in love." ”

He took Cui's and Gu Jinxiu's hands and said: "I got an embroidery picture during the New Year, and my sister-in-law and sister embroidery are both excellent embroiderers, please go over and help me palm my eyes." ”

Mrs. Jiang said with a smile: "Xue Niang has been sparing no effort since she got the embroidery, and said that she must invite the embroidery sister and the mountain daughter-in-law to come and see, but I have seen the embroidery, and it is really not as good as the embroidery sister, and she is not good at her own baby." ”

Mrs. Jiang is good at dancing with long sleeves, and soon made the ladies of several families familiar with each other.

……

In the garden of the Shang family's back house, Yuan Yuan took Gu Jinli and them to a medicinal herb field, pointed to a small piece of medicinal herbs covered by a bamboo shed, and said: "Sister Xiaoyu, this is the dendrobium you gave me, they are not dead, they are all alive and well, am I very powerful?" ”

The little girl tilted her head and looked like she was begging for praise.

Gu Jinli touched her head and said with a smile: "Well, Yuan Yuan is very powerful, even Dendrobium can grow alive." ”

These dendrobiums are paved with fist-sized stones, and under the stones there are mossy wood in addition to the soil.

Yuan Yuan was praised by Gu Jinli, he was very happy, and told Gu Jinli about her hard work in planting medicinal materials.

As he was talking, several children from the Shang family ran over: "Yuan Yuan, we've been looking for you for a long time, why are you playing with grass here again?" ”

A girl about the same age as Yuan Yuan pointed at Gu Jinli and said, "Who are these people?" How do you play with them? ”

Yuan Yuan didn't like the little girl who asked very much, but out of politeness, she still replied: "This is Sister Xiaoyu, the younger sister of Brother Jin'an." ”

An older girl next to her, about nine years old, sneered and said, "Oh, it turned out to be the group of beggars who fled the famine." ”
