Chapter Forty-Eight: The Two Who Came to Say Thanks
Generally, whoever builds a house in the village and hires someone will pay a price of 40 yuan a day, and it will include food.
Those sides that don't include food will rise to ten yuan, which is fifty yuan.
Many people will choose not to eat it and save ten dollars to take home.
Now, Gu Anning's price caused an uproar in the crowd at the moment.
"Is it true?"
"No, that girl was so poor that she could come up with so much silver."
The people below were talking a lot, and they were also saying questioning things.
Gu Anning listened to these words, looked at them, and said with a straight face: "You don't need to question what I said, since I said it, it will definitely be done, and any of you who wants to do this job will stand up."
When her words fell, many people fell silent, and it was not until after a long time that people came out of the crowd one after another, and they all chose to believe what she said.
Waiting until no villagers stood up again, Gu Anning looked at the crowd of black presses, and then stepped forward to select twenty people.
After a while, when the selection was made, Gu Anning let the people who were not selected leave.
Most of the 20 people selected were villagers who had helped them bury their fathers and mothers before, and a few of them did not participate. But in addition to this, there is one of the biggest characteristics, that is, they are honest people.
For those who are cheating and cheating, Gu Anning will remove them from the team, so as not to be lazy at work, and afraid of driving others to follow suit.
"Okay, uncle, tomorrow you will come to my house with tools, and then start working, as for the payment of wages, it is to queue up to come to me after work in the evening, what questions do you have now?"
Listening to Gu Anning's words, twenty men in their twenties and forties also shook their heads and said, "There is no problem."
"Since it's all right, then everyone should disband, remember to come early tomorrow morning." After speaking, Gu Anning packed up her small drum and turned to leave.
Stepping on the muddy road, Gu Anning returned home directly. When she first arrived at home, she was slightly puzzled when she saw a young man and a middle-aged man waiting under the eaves, but she knew who they were.
These two men are not anyone, they are Gu Bin, the son of the old Cheng Liang clan, and his grandson Gu Wensheng.
When the two men who were waiting under the eaves saw her return, they hurriedly stepped on the muddy yard towards them, and then took the drum they were holding.
The two of them waited until the little benefactor returned, and they had come twice the previous day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, but neither of them had seen anyone at home.
Now, in case she went out again and couldn't touch it herself, they came early in the morning with their things.
still remembers the night his wife gave birth, but he is still frightened.
At that time, I was in a hurry to drive the ox cart to the town to ask for the midwife and the doctor, and as soon as the stable woman heard that the mother's amniotic water had broken, and it had been more than an hour to invite herself, and it would be another hour when she went to his house, they were no longer willing to go with them.
Because, after such a long time, the child in the belly is estimated to have been suffocated to death, and it is useless to ask yourself, it is better to let yourself ask for a doctor, and it is estimated that you can save your own lady.
It was also that night that he heard several stable women say this, and his heart was as if the sky had fallen, painful and dark.
In the end, under his kneeling and begging, he invited a kinder stable woman and doctor to run with him.
On the way back to the village, his heart was tormented, and he silently prayed that his daughter-in-law and the child in his belly would hold on!
Although he knew that his child was probably no longer able to stand it, he still prayed hopefully.
Just when he hurriedly ran into the house with Wen Po and the doctor, he actually saw his mother holding a baby wrapped in cloth. His already dark heart suddenly lit up at that moment.
At that time, he threw himself at the child as if he had met an oasis in the desert, and the lost feelings immediately made him burst into tears, crying and laughing happily.
After being happy, he thought of his mother-in-law, so he quickly asked about his family.
When he learned what had happened, his heart was full of gratitude to Gu Anning, who was just fifteen years old, even Gu Bin.
………………………
Gu Anning led the two to the main hall that was a little tattered but very neat.
Gu Wensheng, who looked like a scholar, took out a high-quality pale pink cotton cloth, and Gu Bin next to him took out a big fat pork that weighed five catties.
"An Ning, I know what happened that night, if it weren't for your action, it is estimated that my daughter and lady would have died, I Gu Wensheng has nothing to repay my benefactor to you, and please accept our little hearts."
"An Ning, uncle, thank you for saving my daughter-in-law and granddaughter, please accept these things." Gu Bin on the side also said sincerely.
For these, Gu Anning shook her head with a light smile, and said, "You can take these things back, I have already received the consultation fee I deserve."
"No! Anning, please don't refuse, let us express our gratitude. ”
For them, Gu Anning had a headache.
"Brother Wensheng, Uncle Bin, no matter what you say, I won't accept these things, please take them back." This refusal, the look on Gu Anning's face can be described as extremely resolute.
Gu Bin's father and son glanced at each other, she was so resolute, they didn't know what to say.
………………………
It had been two quarters of an hour since they were sent away, and the two of them had been grinding for so long, Gu Anning didn't promise them to accept the things.
They were also very helpless, and they could only leave.
Gu Anning, who was stuffed by them like this, was also very helpless, and she was relieved to see them leave her.
It was then that she heard the cry of a baby coming from the room.
Xiao Le woke up, thinking of this, Gu Anning hurriedly went back to the room and hugged Xiao Le out.
"Xiaole, don't cry, my sister will take you out to play." Gu Anning looked at the little guy who was crying, and then smiled and reached out to wipe the tears on his face for him.
When she went out of the room with the child in her arms, she met the man who came to her, and it didn't take long for the man to change into a set of clothes, and change into a set of very ordinary and ordinary clothes.
The suit was a spotless white, made of fine cotton, and the style on it was simple and not as fancy as anything else.
Although the clothes are simple, wearing them on him still can't hide the innate extraordinary temperament.
