After speaking, Yang Huiyun angrily knocked the bamboo pole to the ground, and everyone at the door heard the sound of the bamboo pole hitting the ground, and couldn't help but be shocked, and even pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

When Aunt Fu heard that this was the case, her heart instantly let go, and she dissuaded: "Gu Shan's lady, Brother An doesn't want to study anymore, you just have a good talk with him, you put Gu Shan's tablet out now, isn't it for Brother An to be gossiped about?" ”

Only those disobedient sons will be invited out of the tablets of their fathers and ancestors, which in the eyes of others, it is definitely a very serious matter to ask for the tablets.

"Besides, Brother An wants to go out to work to supplement the family, but also because he understands you, you are a woman, you are pregnant, while raising two children, and at the same time you want to provide for Brother An to go to school, he feels sorry for you, and making this request is also the filial piety of this child, why should you be angry." Aunt Fu said bitterly.

She felt that Gu Huai'an had done the right thing in this matter, and she didn't understand Yang Huiyun's behavior.

Other people's mothers are not happy to see the child so filial, why did she turn around and don't want the child to be filial?

Aunt Fu's voice fell, and Yang Huiyun did not take the words immediately, but stood in place and was silent.

For she was in the shadows, and her expression was obscure.

After a while, Yang Huiyun sighed and looked at Aunt Fu, and said, "Since you have put his words here, then I will say it directly." ”

"You also know what the situation of our family is, auntie, in the early years, my father and I were all struggling to come over, in order to send him to school, in order to build this house as soon as possible, our family did everything we could to save all expenses."

Aunt Fu took the opportunity to help her sit on the chair next to her, and said as she walked, "Yes, Mrs. Gu Shan, I know what you said, and I have seen it in my eyes, you and Gu Shan are indeed not easy." ”

Gu Shan was a child and begged for a life in the hands of his stepmother, not to mention the hardships.

And since Yang Huiyun married into Xinghua Village, in order to repay the ten taels of dowry money as soon as possible, the couple is busy taking over the work as long as they have free time.

Because Yang Huiyun has this good embroidery skill, in the first few days of marriage, she took a lot of embroidery work and came back to do it, and never stopped.

Gu Shan also tried his best to complete the work in the field in the shortest possible time, and went to the mayor to find a short-term job for the rest of the time.

Short-term jobs are the kind that pay daily, although the money given is more cost-effective than long-term work.

But short-term work is not as stable as long-term work, and it is only one day's work to do one day, and it is difficult to say whether you can find it the next day.

Gu Shan also ran back and forth in several towns.

In order to make a little more money, the husband and wife arranged the time exactly right, and the efforts of the young couple were also seen by others.

Aunt Fu is also a warm-hearted person, and often runs after the east family runs the west family, so naturally she listens to their family's affairs.

Now that I heard Yang Huiyun suddenly mention it, I said it with emotion in my heart.

In fact, when it comes to the ten taels of silver that Grandpa Gu took out to give Gu Shan as a dowry, it has always been received by Yang Huiyun.

She originally thought that husband and wife were one, since she was already married, then she would change hands and return the ten taels of silver, so Gu Shan would not have to work so hard to make money.

However, Gu Shan was unwilling.

At that time, there was only one dilapidated house in the poor family, and the stove room was only temporarily built in a corner of the house, and a grass shed was hastily built on the top of the stove house to cover the rain and snow, and the wind could not cover it.

In addition, there was only one room at that time, and the area was still very small, so Gu Shan used the ten taels of dowry given by Grandpa Gu to build two more rooms.

That is, the main hall of the south house and the east second room.

In order to pay off the dowry as soon as possible, the young couple shrunk their clothes and dieted and worked hard to do work outside.

It's only been a little over a year, and these ten taels of silver have already made up enough.

It was not enough to pay off the money, Gu Shan also wanted to build a few larger houses, so that when he had children in the future, he would not let the children squeeze into this small/cramped space with them.

Originally, with their hard work, it would only take about four or five years to realize this wish.

But at that time, Gu Huai'an was already born, and Yang Huiyun enlightened him when he was three years old, and found that he was smart and clever, and had an excellent memory.

He memorized the thousand-word text she taught him only once, and was able to memorize it in its entirety very quickly.

Because Father Yang is a teacher, he has taught dozens of students, if not hundreds, but also rare.

Yang Huiyun couldn't help but think a little.

She briefly mentioned it to Gu Shan, but she didn't expect to succeed at one time, but she didn't expect Gu Shan to agree immediately without thinking about it.

It turned out that when Gu Shan was looking for work in the town, he saw that Mr. Bookkeeper could have at least one or two pieces of silver a month.

And working part-time jobs is tiring and tiring a day, and it is only more than ten or twenty yuan.

Even the best one was only given thirty wen, which is far from Mr. Ledger.

Gu Shan pondered.

It just so happened that at this time, Yang Huiyun proposed that he wanted to send Gu Huai'an to study in the school, so he took advantage of the situation, and also hoped that his son would be better than him in the future.

But as a result, my family will not be able to build a house in recent years.

After all, just the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and Mr. Shu have been used several taels a year, and the money to build a house can only be saved slowly.

In fact, the manpower required to build a house does not cost too much money, because the villagers help build it.

Gu Shan chose to start the house after the autumn harvest at that time.

The main reason is that he considers that after the autumn harvest, it is the time when the villagers are idle and panicked.

There was no work left in the fields, and I couldn't get anything back from going to the mountains that season.

Therefore, everyone has nothing else to do except grow some simple seasonal vegetables for the New Year, and they gather together all day to have some entertainment and pastime.

Gu Shan got up at this time, and the villagers were free, and they would all come over to help.

Of course, he didn't work in vain, according to the practice in the village, as long as the villagers came to help him for a day, Gu Shan would provide them with a meal.

So there are a lot of people who are willing to help.

No matter how you say it, it can also save money for a meal, if you eat this bite at Gu's house, you can eat one less bite when you go home, and everyone knows the exchange here.

If that's all, it doesn't cost much to build a house.

Because the staple food has just been harvested, the rice is absolutely enough, which is all existing.

The people who came to help were not people who could come if they wanted to, they had to be chosen by Gu Shan himself, so the number of people was also controlled at about a dozen.

The villagers are all people who are accustomed to hard work, and they never thought of being lazy when building the house, and they worked very hard every day from morning to night, and the house was built in about a month.

Therefore, it is equivalent to Gu Shan's food for a month in exchange for a helper to build a house for him, plus the money to buy land is not expensive, about four or five taels of land.

So just looking at this, it doesn't take the couple so many years to build this house.

However, the cost of construction is the cost of materials.

Most of the families from modest families are built of mud and thatch, which is very cheap.

But Gu Shan wanted to build the strongest kind of house that would not be bad if he could live for decades, so he had already thought about it, all the wall materials in the house were made of bricks, and the outer walls were all made of stone, which was very hard.

It's definitely enough to last for decades or even hundreds of years.

The money required for the materials was dozens of taels, which led them to think about it for ten years before finally building this house last year.

Gu Shan and his wife would rather work hard for a few years to build a house than let Gu Huai'an postpone the age of going to school, which shows how much they attach importance to this matter.

Pen, ink, paper, inkstone and bundle are not a small amount, and it is not enough to spend only a year's money.

That's the preparation that once you start, you have to spend money on it every year.

In the village, there are very few farmhouses that can afford to support a scholar.

Even if you are willing, it is a large family to support a scholar.

Gu Shan and his wife can only rely on themselves, and they are willing to work hard to make money for Gu Huai'an to go to school, and they naturally have high hopes for their son.

No wonder Gu Shanniang was so angry after hearing Gu Huai'an say that she didn't plan to continue studying, she really should be angry.

Aunt Fu's thoughts spun around quickly, and she went through the matter again in her mind, but she didn't show any response to Yang Huiyun on her face, with a look of listening carefully.

"I have been working hard with the child's father for all these years, and I have never screamed bitterly or tired, everything is for the future of the child, as long as the child can have a future in the future, we can bear the hardship and tiredness." Yang Huiyun sat down with her stomach and began to wipe her tears and cry.

"Hey, thank you for your hard work, we are all parents, and I also deeply understand your feelings." Aunt Fu also sighed with her.

"Yes, Aunt Fu, you can understand me, but this rebel, this rebel doesn't understand, and he even said that he won't go to school in the future, which is to anger me!"

Yang Huiyun said and looked at her son who was silent, pointed at the grief on his face, and deliberately raised his voice and shouted, as if he was afraid that the people standing at the door would not hear, "His father also told me when he left home after the year, telling me not to forget to bind my husband, it's late, I'm afraid of causing a bad impact on my husband, his father's heart is all about his schooling, and now, this rebel ......."

"Changning Niang, don't get excited, slow down first, you are a person with a body, and it is not easy to be emotionally happy and angry." Aunt Fu saw that she seemed to be angry, and hurriedly persuaded her, "Hey, Changning and her mother, in fact, this can't be blamed on your family Brother An, but there has been too much gossip in the village recently, and the child is still young. ”

"Gossip? What gossip? Yang Huiyun was shocked.
