Chapter 17: Brother Tiankuo

There are forty acres of land at home, which sounds like a lot, but there are also about 20 people, and the grain output is not high at this time, so the grain is not enough to eat.

In the past, my father and mother could still have income when they earned money outside, but now that they have returned, they have no income outside, and they have to eat food at home.

If the current status quo continues, the future will be more miserable than the present.

I can't complain that Erniang is so unhappy when she hears that they are coming back, not only less income, but also more people to eat, Erniang is such a shrewd person, he can't be happy no matter what.

Of course, she thought that it was good before, and her father and mother took money back from outside, and they didn't eat or wear the family.

But she can't help but be unhappy, and her grandparents just agree.

It's still not clear where she is now, all of this is different from what she remembers, it shouldn't be a specific dynasty in history, so she can't use what she has learned to foresee what will happen next.

If you want to change the situation, you have to think about everything around you, and then come up with a way to live a good life.

Siqi rolled over, closed his eyes, and had a sweet smile on his face.

Anyway, it's hard work, now there are so many family members who love her, I don't know how much better than in her previous life, is she still afraid?

The next day, you have to get up before dawn, and that's the case during the busy farming season, you have to go to the fields early to work, or you will be uncomfortable waiting for the sun to come out.

It's March now, and it's even better in May or June.

Before dawn, the Lin family was already cooking on a fire, and Siqi was also used to getting up early, putting on clothes and going to help with Si Yao.

After breakfast, everyone else went to work in the field, and the old couple of the Lin family, as well as Lin Changyuan and his wife, took Siqi and Zichen to the Gu family, ready to go to the Gu family to thank them.

On the way to the Gu family, Si Qi searched for everything about the Gu family in his mind, so as not to say the wrong thing for a while.

The Gu family is a big family in the village, not because they are rich, but because they have too many people, this is really a big family, the largest family in Tongxin Village.

Now the person in charge of the Gu family is Gu Kaiming, who is in his eighties, which is quite a long life at this time, and after his brother died, he also became the patriarch of the Gu family.

As the so-called imperial power does not go down to the county, in feudal society, the imperial power has no way to touch the entire society, and there are countless villages in the world, which cannot be managed at all.

Generally speaking, most of the affairs of the village are handled within the village, which requires a leader.

In ancient times, villages generally developed from tribes, and everyone in a village was related to each other in a distant or near way, and it was a big family.

Gradually, there will be some people with different surnames, but the one with more people will definitely be in a leading position.

This is the case with Tongxin Village now, the Gu family is huge, so that they have the absolute right to speak in the village, and Gu Kaiming is the oldest person in Tongxin Village, and everyone will respect him for this.

Although he is the patriarch of the Gu clan, if something happens in this village, he will also let him come forward.

These are all that Si Qi knows, she is not familiar with the old man of the Gu family, and what she can think of now is his appearance, not smiling, always like to keep a straight face, and it doesn't look like it's easy to get close to.

There are many Gu families, although they have not been completely separated, but one house cannot accommodate so many people, so Gu Kaiming's two sons have been separated a few years ago.

Gu Kaiming has a total of two sons and one daughter, and both sons have reached the age of sixties, so of course there will be no shortage of children and grandchildren.

Gu Tiankuo, who saved Siqi this time, is Gu Kaiming's second son, the second son of Gu Pingzhang's family, who is twelve years old this year, and is about the same age as several children of the Lin family.

On weekdays, these children also play well, and Gu Tiankuo also studies with Zijun Zikang and is a classmate.

Tongxin Village is not big or small, there are more than 100 families, and the Gu family and the Lin family are not far apart, so they will arrive soon.

In the busy farming season, every family is busy with the work in the field, or the Wu family thought of this, so they went out early, otherwise they would really be empty, and they were just in time for people to go to the ground.

Gu Zelin, the second eldest of the Gu family, came out with farm tools, and when he saw someone coming, he couldn't help but smile, "Hey, isn't this Changyuan?" I heard that you were back yesterday, and I was thinking of looking for a chance to talk to you, but you came to the door by yourself. ”

Lin Changyuan said with a smile, "Second Brother Gu is in a hurry to go out, we are all here, sit down and say a few words." ”

Gu Zelin put down his things, "Of course, uncle, aunt, you come in, our family hasn't gone out yet." ”

Entering the courtyard, Gu Zelin raised his voice and said, "Dad, mother, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin are here, and Changyuan and the two of them." ”

After that, he shouted to the east wing, "Child, come out with some snacks, and the children." ”

After a while, everyone was already sitting in the upper room and talking, Gu Pingzhang said with a smile, "You guys are strange today, you came here early in the morning, rare guest." ”

Lin Dezheng and he also played from childhood to adulthood, and had a good relationship, and said with a smile, "Second brother, isn't this Changyuan and the two of them coming back, today we came here to thank you, that day Siqi was struck by lightning on the mountain, it was Tiankuo who came back with her on his back, we remember this matter, we must come to thank you, just wait for the third child and them to come back." ”

Gu Pingzhang said with a smile, "See you outside, brother, the relationship between our two families, there is no need to talk about this." ”

Wu said on the side, "There should still be a number of courtesies, the third and the second couple hurt their son, and they felt distressed like something after knowing it, so they came back in a hurry, and they didn't prepare the thank you gift carefully, and the second brother and sister-in-law don't dislike it." ”

At this time, the Gu family was all there, and after the Xuan family and the other elders finished speaking, they pulled Siqi out, "Qi'er, thank you Brother Tiankuo." ”

Siqi knows Gu Tiankuo, this person has a good relationship with the eldest brother and second brother, often goes to the Lin family, and sometimes takes her to dig the bird's nest together.

There are many children and grandchildren of the Gu family, plus the big house, Gu Tiankuo is the fifth, with four brothers and one sister, and he is the most conspicuous one with several brothers at this time.

Siqi stared at him, thinking in his heart, this little brother is a little good-looking, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and often works in the field, so his complexion is a little dark, but it doesn't affect it at all, this appearance is very good-looking.

At only twelve years old, he is already about the same height as his brothers, so wouldn't he have to be taller when he grows up?

After just a few glances, Siqi's favorability towards Gu Tiankuo rose, and he remembered that he was just a nine-year-old girl now, and he should still look like a child, so he smiled and said, "Brother Tiankuo, thank you." ”
