Chen Jingting snickered in his heart, he scared their family like that last night, and if he didn't repent sincerely, he would be in vain.

The old man nodded with satisfaction: "Child, you don't have to say good things for them, what kind of people they are, grandpa knows it in his heart." Grandpa is pleased, fortunately, you are a sensible and good child, and our Gu family is also considered to be an ancestor of virtue, but you are good at raising two sons, don't let them learn to be bastards again. ”

Gu Laifu nodded sincerely, "No, I will do a good job of educating and learning literature and martial arts, and I must make sure that they learn to read and write from an early age." Thank you grandpa for your teachings. ”

After apologizing to Old Man Gu, Gu Laifu looked at Du Lan with shame on his face, "Brother and sister...... I...... I know it's not trivial to say I'm sorry to you, but I still want to ask for your forgiveness, my father and mother have been poor and afraid of their lives in this life, and many things are looking at money. They have many wrongs, and I don't beg you to forgive, but I want to say that if I can make it up to you, I will do my best. ”

It was the debt of his parents that made Gu Laifu stare at Duran so boldly, since the two families had a stalemate, he rarely saw Duran, and now standing so closely, he found that Duran was getting brighter and brighter.

is also a peasant woman, and she also works constantly, but she is like not being stained with dust, her skin is much brighter than when she first married into the Gu family, and her whole person is also full of energy.

Duran agreed with what he said, "You're saying a good thing, and I really won't forgive them easily." As for compensation, your family has already paid compensation yesterday, if you really want to help me, then be optimistic about your parents and sisters, don't provoke me if you have nothing to do, that's enough. ”

Gu Laifu's face was embarrassed, Du Lan was still as fast and talkative as before, and the hand in his pocket unconsciously let go, there were some of his meager family backgrounds, and he originally wanted to compensate Du Lan and his grandfather.

Now it seems that she may not need it, with her current wealth, she may not look down on her little money.

Old Man Gu didn't want his nephew to be too ugly, so he patted Gu Laifu on the shoulder: "I know you have a good temperament, you are you, they are them, if it's okay, go back." ”

Gu Laifu nodded lightly, no matter whether Du Lan forgave him or not, he apologized that he had already said it, and there was no need to say anything about it, he turned around and left.

Looking at his back, Old Man Gu felt a little comforted, "I hope that his sons will not be like his fathers, behave in their own way, and do things in a down-to-earth manner, and I will be content." ”

"Don't worry, he's much better than his father." Duran was convinced.

Seeing that the small courtyard was full, Duran couldn't help frowning, the mountain pepper hadn't been picked yet, the corn hadn't been sent to Shilipu, and the soy sauce hadn't been brewed, and he had been really busy recently.

The most important thing is that there are not enough people, and she thinks she should really hire a few helpers.

Squatting down, Duran began to pick mountain peppers in earnest, and when she asked everyone to go up the mountain to pick, she had already ordered in advance, as long as it was clean. Looking at it now, most of them are relatively clean, and there is no firewood branches, but there are exceptions, and you need to pick some yourself.

Just thinking so, Aunt Lao Gen entered the house, "Duran, I'm idle enough at home, can you find me some work." ”

She came in with her two sons behind her.

Duran had used her to cut the corn stalks before, and thought that she was okay with her work, so he smiled and said: "Aunt Lao Gen came just in time, so let's help me pick these peppers from the branches and clean them up, and I will calculate the salary according to ten catties and a penny." ”

"Ten pounds for a penny?" Aunt Lao Gen disliked the fact that the salary was too small, and hesitated to do it.

Duran saw that she didn't agree happily, guessed her thoughts, hooked his lips and smiled: "If you don't want to do it, I won't force it, you can't do these jobs alone, I have to find a few more people." Whoever does it or not, is idle at home, and while the crops do not need to be harvested, I believe that there are still many people who are willing to supplement the family. ”

Duran was so excited, Aunt Lao Gen immediately nodded and agreed: "I'll do it, I'll do it, but my two sons, can you find some other work?" Pepper picking is a delicate job that they can't do as a man. ”

Aunt Lao Gen said this, but in fact, she still disdained to let her sons make a little money.

Duran looked at her two sons and thought that after everyone had picked the peppers, they could pour them into the stone mill and crush them, which was heavy physical work.

Naturally, wages cannot be given less.

"In this way, the two of them take turns grinding and grinding all these peppers in the yard into powder, and I will give a hundred cents, how about it?"

Aunt Lao Gen deliberately didn't take an opinion, raised her eyes to look at her two sons, and asked, "What do you two mean?" ”

The two sons ran to the city all day long, hungry and full, and only earned 50 yuan a day by carrying sacks for the rice shop, not to mention physical work, everyone lined up early in the morning to rush to do it, and sometimes they couldn't even find the job when they went late.

What's more, regardless of lunch, at Duran's mill, at least you can go home for dinner at noon.

The two brothers glanced at each other and quickly decided: "Let's do it." ”

Duran nodded in satisfaction, "Then you two wait for everyone to pick the mountain pepper and then start working, now rest for a while." ”

After speaking, Du Lan went to the room and told the Zhao family to pay attention to the situation in the courtyard, the Zhao family was a maid by the princess's side back then, and she had also seen the world. Now that he saw that Duran had hired a few workers, he immediately had an extra heart.

"Lan Lan, they came to work for you, you have to come up with a little bit of being the master of the house, you can't be so easy to talk to, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public in the future."

Duran smiled, "Mother still doesn't know me?" Am I such a good talker? ”

Zhao had a bright smile on her face when she heard this, she saw that Du Lan was becoming more and more like a housewife, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Du Lan took out a basket and handed it to Aunt Lao Gen, and went to Aunt Zhang's house and asked her if she would like to help pick pepper, and Aunt Zhang naturally agreed happily.

Next, everyone was busy with the work in their hands, Aunt Zhang was the head of the job, Aunt Lao Gen was disdainful in her heart, but her face was not dewy, but when she sat in the yard picking pepper, she deviated from Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang has long been accustomed to it, and she doesn't take the initiative to talk to her, but only buries herself in the work in her hands.

After Du Mi came, Du Lan taught Du Mi how to make ketchup in the room, and the two were of similar age, and it was easy to communicate.

Seeing that Du Mi studied seriously, Du Lan did not hesitate to praise: "Our family Mimi is hard-working, and when you learn it, you can still stand on your own, and my cousin believes that you will definitely make a difference in the future." ”

Du Mi looked excited, happily looking at the bubbling red thick sauce in the wok, as if she saw that her future was bright.

On the side of the Xu Mansion in Luo'an City, Master Xu and his wife sat in the main hall, Xu Hening and Xu Hening stood respectfully under the hall, and on the side of the hall sat Bai Wangyuan's wife and Gu Chunyan.

Since Xu Heming got married, Master Xu has intended to cultivate Xu Heming, and today he specially called everyone to gather together, in order to divide some of the family's business and hand it over to Xu Heming to take care of.

I don't know how Mrs. Cheng of the county knows, she came here early in the morning, and Master Xu knew in his heart that she just wanted to call the shots for Xu Heming, afraid that he would be biased as a father.

The atmosphere in the lobby is solemn. The maids carefully stood behind their masters and served.

Master Xu picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and his slender-eyed eyes swept over his two sons lightly, and said, "The reason why I gathered everyone here today is that there are a few things to announce. ”

Xu Hening bowed his head respectfully, looking respectful. Xu Heming looked disrespectful, not caring at all what his father was going to announce.

Old Man Xu coughed lightly: "Crane ...... Ming"

Xu Heming raised his head and looked at his father, "Here, what are your orders?" ”

Master Xu is the head of the family, no one in the Xu Mansion dares to be so disrespectful to Master Xu, and no one dares to take his words as a deaf ear, except for Xu Heming.

In front of Mrs. County, Master Xu couldn't open his mouth to scold him, probably because he was ashamed of him and his mother, so he tolerated him many times.

Mrs. Xu glanced at him lightly, and saw that he didn't seem to care about family affairs, since this was the case, then it was definitely not Mrs. County Cheng whom he invited. After thinking about it, Mrs. Xu's gaze fell on Gu Chunyan.

It must be this woman, she has already sent someone to inquire, and her adoptive mother is not a fuel-efficient lamp in Shanwa Village, so it is inferred that she is not a good person.

Gu Chunyan noticed Mrs. Xu's unkind gaze, and lowered her head, not daring to look directly into her eyes.

In the lobby, Master Xu's voice sounded again: "Heming, now that you have a family, it's time to start a business." Our Xu family has a big business, and it is really difficult for him to rely on your brother to take care of it alone. Dad is also old, you will learn some business skills from your eldest brother from now on, and in the future, you can take care of the family business with your brother and carry forward the Xu Mansion. ”

Xu Heming glanced at his father disdainfully and did not answer. Gu Chunyan was so anxious that she crooked her eyes and squinted her mouth, wanting to show something to Xu Heming.
