When Xiao Man heard Yuan Dongchu's question, he also looked anxious and couldn't sit still.

In this matter, he heard Gu Tiancheng and a few good brothers say more than once, this is their hope and great ambition. What's more, it's still about Brother Tiancheng's lifelong event.

He doesn't care what others think, anyway, the Yuan family's sister is his sister-in-law, and he likes it very much.

Left twist, right twist, Xiao Man opened his mouth several times, and finally decided to let Gu Tiancheng show his ambitions.

"At the beginning of winter, what you asked was really deep, I think I Gu Tiancheng is a dignified man, how can I be willing to do this work for a lifetime?" Gu Tiancheng was very arrogant, "Take a step back and say, these many brothers believe in me and are willing to follow me, I can't delay them." ”

As he spoke, he patted Xiaoman's shoulder with his hand, "Just like Xiaoman, a child who is just a little bit of a child, he can't be confused, and he will be a coolie at the dock for the rest of his life." ”

Xiao Man nodded again and again when he heard this, "That's it, don't worry about others, anyway, I follow Brother Tiancheng, that is, I think he will definitely be able to take me and let me have a future." ”

"Oh?" Yuan Dongchu asked, "Does Brother Gu already have a plan?" ”

"Yes," Gu Tiancheng looked left and right, sat up straighter, and said in a lower voice, "My mother is helping me save money, and I have also explained to my brothers, the family has saved some money, and I will do great things in the future with the money." In this way, in a few years, we will be able to buy two boats, and we will do the river transportation business by ourselves. ”

Yuan Dongchu was stunned, what is this called? Coincide with? Great minds think alike?

Isn't it time to use the word "hit it off"?

Gu Tiancheng saw Yuan Dong's initial appearance, and hurriedly added: "We have many brothers, we have been together for so many years, we can trust each other, and we are all begging for a living on the wharf and river, the water is very good, and we can eat long-distance transportation, and the prospects are very good." ”

Yuan Dongchu blinked, it was a coincidence, she thought so too. But these people who are good at water and begging for a living on the dock should still have his father.

Xiuchun and Xiaocui followed Yuan Dongchu to make money selling wild vegetables, and they were already very content and floating, so they had no greater hope at all.

At this time, when he heard that a young man who was also poor had such ambitions, his reaction was much better than that of Yuan Dongchu.

In addition, Gu Tiancheng's imagination is very rendering, and the two of them listened with wide eyes, and couldn't stop "oh oh oh ......"

In addition, it was supplemented by repeated nods and admiration in his heart: It turns out that Brother Gu is not a gangster as he looks, but a proper aspiring young man!

Yuan Dongchu still looked thoughtful, and Gu Tiancheng was a little anxious when he saw it, "Really, it's not me who blows the atmosphere indiscriminately." I've thought about it carefully, and I'm sure it will come to pass. ”

Xiaoman was also in a hurry, and hurriedly helped: "Yes, Sister Dongchu, Brother Tiancheng will do the freight, and the words of raising the family are not ambiguous at all, I can't say it, and I can let my wife and children live a rich and prosperous life without worrying about food and clothing." ”

Gu Tiancheng still looked at ease and calm, but he was secretly embarrassed in his heart. Xiaoman, this kid, doesn't know how to speak subtlely, which is too explicit.

Alas, the child is small, and it seems that he will have to temper a lot in the future.

Yuan Dongchu held the tea bowl silently, and only drank tea silently.

What does this make her say? Don't you kid dare to be more straightforward?

Although Xiaocui was young, she also heard some signs, and hurriedly learned Yuan Dongchu to drink tea, and her head was buried in the tea bowl.

Xiuchun's stupid eldest sister didn't notice anything, and nodded violently there: "Of course, if you have your own fleet, let alone supporting your family, you can really become a rich man." ”

Although someone eased the situation, Gu Tiancheng didn't dare to pick up this stubble anymore, and changed the topic casually: "This season, the wild vegetables are all old." In another year, the wild vegetable practice you give out will definitely spread, but I am afraid that it will not be good to have such an income. What's next for you at the beginning of winter? ”

Yuan Dongchu put down the tea bowl, as if there had never been any embarrassment caused by Xiaoman, "What a coincidence, my father said before that if we want to calculate the money we make and the savings of the family, we also want to buy two boats and do our own freight." ”

"That ......" Gu Tiancheng, who has always been a hanger, didn't sit still, and almost jumped up.

"Hmm...... That ......" Gu Tiancheng sat down again and asked, "Supporting a boat to do freight, one person can't do it, I heard you say that my uncle plans to buy two boats." I wonder what my uncle is planning? Do you want to work in partnership with men, or do you want to hire shipwrights and coolies? ”

Yuan Dongchu: "I'm still thinking about it." ”

Gu Tiancheng was energetic: "I think it's better to be a partner." If you hire someone like this, you have to pay someone else before you make money, which is a bit risky. ”

Yuan Dongchu smiled slightly: "My father also means this." ”

It's done! Gu Tiancheng felt that his heart was about to fly to the clouds.

…………

When they talked about it again, it was already a very formal scene.

The place to discuss things was a restaurant that Gu Tiancheng was familiar with.

The time was half of the night, and the restaurant was very quiet, except for Yuan Changhe's father and daughter and Gu Tiancheng, there was no one else, even the owner and the young man of the restaurant went to the back kitchen to rest.

Counting it up, Gu Tiancheng seems to help others look after the store, just like in his own home, he is very familiar with Zhang Luo, who is a stove and a teapot and teacup.

In addition, he took out two paper packets, a packet of melon seeds and a packet of fried peanuts, and put them in two small plates.

"My uncle and I see each other almost every day, so you're welcome. This melon seed and peanut, don't dislike it at the beginning of winter, make do with it to relieve boredom. ”

There was no one else, Gu Tiancheng said lotus, greeted flatteringly, turned his head and went to pour tea for the three of them.

Yuan Changhe hurriedly held the cup in front of him and said politely: "Tiancheng, you can also sit, we are all from ordinary people, we are not so particular, let's just come by ourselves." ”

In order to avoid the waste of words caused by too many greetings, Yuan Dongchu didn't need to let Gu Tiancheng say much at all, and he had already taken the initiative to peel the melon seeds.

The taste is good, although it is only fried in the original flavor, but it is very fragrant.

In ancient times, as in modern times, these things are collectively referred to as fried goods. These are small businesses, and they can't be compared with Yuan Dongchu's wild vegetable business. Otherwise, you can make some spiced melon seeds, caramel melon seeds and other flavors, and it is not a problem to support your family.

Gu Tiancheng was relieved, it turned out that he loved to eat melon seeds at the beginning of winter.

"Uncle, if you really plan to buy a boat for river transportation, then you can partner with your little nephew, we know the root and can be trusted. Let's buy a boat with money, you can buy a boat, and I will take my brothers to only help, you can take the idea. ”

Yuan Changhe groaned and said, "The silver I can raise can almost buy two boats, and what is lacking now is manpower." ”

"That's okay, then uncle, you buy a boat, and teach you all the manpower and dots everywhere. The income after the shipment, the respective responsibilities of both parties and other complicated expenses, we will discuss it in detail. If you want to start bigger, I can scrape together some money here, and we can buy an extra boat, or a bigger boat. ”

Yuan Changhe looked at Yuan Dongchu.
