Chapter 1 Buying land and building houses
When Father Gu saw that everyone was going out, he put down the cigarette stick in his hand. "When Xiaobao found honeysuckle a few days ago, he also found a ginseng, which he brought to the county seat and sold it today." Speaking of which, I didn't go on.
Gu Chengyu was a little speechless, he found that his father was still engaged in hanging people's appetites, look, he wanted to cause restlessness again.
Gu Chengyi had a feeling that this was really the case, no wonder he refused to take him when he went to the county seat. And he said! If there is no way to get money, will his father let the fifth child go? So let's talk about the fifth child today, is it to test him? Could it be that in his father's eyes, only the fifth child is his son? Thinking of this, Gu Chengyi's eyes were a little angry, but he just endured it.
"Ouch! Is this true? How much silver did that ginseng sell for? Ah! I'll just say it! His uncle is a blessed man, you see, he can even dig ginseng when he goes up the mountain to play, listen to my father! That ginseng is worth a lot! He didn't care about the unpleasant trouble that everyone had just now, and when he heard the silver rush to the front, the action was fast. Gu Chengyu was a little curious, how did this plump body run so fast?
Fang's ears also pricked up and listened, a piece of ginseng can be sold for more than a dozen taels of silver, right? That's worth two or three years of income!
"Dad, how much money did ginseng sell?" Gu Chengyi didn't want to go around in circles anymore.
Father Gu saw that everyone was staring at him intently, so he no longer hung everyone's appetite, and he didn't hide it, what the boss knew, it was not good to hide it from his other sons. "Sold for five hundred taels."
Everyone gasped, "What? Five hundred taels? Gu Chengyu only heard He's soprano.
"How much is five hundred taels? What can I buy? "He can't imagine at all, she hasn't even touched the silver." His father, is five hundred taels going to pile up the silver? How did they get it back? I didn't see anything like a package of silver when I came back! ”
"Second sister-in-law, Dayan Dynasty has a silver ticket! I came back with a silver ticket. Gu Chengyu felt that poverty limited her imagination, and when she grew so big, her second sister-in-law probably hadn't seen a silver ticket, and she might rarely even touch silver.
"Dad, is it really five hundred taels? How can it sell so much? Gu Chengyi also couldn't believe it, is a ginseng worth so much silver?
"Hmmm! This ginseng is more than 80 years old, and it is in good condition, and Shopkeeper Liu gave 500 taels for Li Langzhong's face. ”
"Daddy! Take out the silver ticket and let's see! We haven't seen it yet! He licked his face and smiled at Daddy Gu. Gu Chengyi on the side also wanted to see the silver ticket, he had only seen the silver ticket at the shopkeeper Zhou in the town.
The Lu family can't see He's greedy face for money. "Of course the silver ticket was put away, didn't our family have a thief two days ago? also stole the rabbit meat between the stoves, how can this silver ticket be taken out? In fact, the Lu family had long suspected that the He family had stolen the food, but he didn't catch it at the time, so he had to let her go. In the future, she has to find a chance to catch her, so that her family's food will often be less, this lazy woman still likes to eat secretly, and she doesn't know how the He family taught her, and she should not have agreed to marry the He family in the first place.
When He saw Lu mention rabbit meat, he was a little weak-hearted, and she and her two sons shared and ate those pieces of rabbit meat, but they didn't dare to finish it, and left two or three pieces.
Gu Wan looked at her second brother's behavior today and knew that her second brother was reluctant to give the silver to Xiaobao, it seemed that he was either a mother or he couldn't count on it. Dad is right, if a woman gets married, if her mother's brother can't be pointed to, won't she be bullied to death by her in-laws? However, the second brother is like this, I'm afraid he won't care about her, right? Xiaobao is really good to her second sister, and she will be better to Xiaobao in the future.
"Dad, what are you going to do with all this money?" Gu Chengyi just wanted to know how the silver should be distributed, so much silver, whether it was to buy land or build a house, it was enough.
Hearing this, Father Gu glanced at Gu Chengyi deeply before he spoke back. "This silver is intended to be kept for Xiaobao, and you know that the silver is wasted. What's more, this was originally dug up by Xiaobao from the mountain by himself, and Xiaobao took it for granted. ”
Gu Chengyi frowned, so to speak, so much silver, his father plans to give it to the fifth child? This can't be done, in the past, the Gu family didn't have the truth that whoever earned the money would spend it, but now why did he say this again? Could it be that this rule is only for their generosity and second room?
Gu Chengyu didn't want to have those senseless disputes for this bit of silver, and the Gu family was not only a second room, but also so many people, in order for the people he cared about to live a good life, he was bound to find some money-making livelihood for his family, so this money was just a start, and it was not a big deal to take it out. But after today's events, he still feels that he can't put his eggs in one basket, he has to have his own private property, otherwise he will be chirped crookedly if he wants to use some silver, and it will make people's heads big all the time.
After thinking it through, Gu Chengyu opened his mouth: "Dad! The five hundred taels of silver to buy some fields for the family, and the house must also be built, all of which are deducted from the five hundred taels, and I will set aside my silver this year first, and I will find a way to make a living for the family, and I don't have to worry about next year's silver. ”
"Xiaobao, why do you little baby say that you don't make money? Is this something you should worry about? Do you have to feed a large family? When you say it, you have to poke people in the back. Besides, how easy is the money? Who knows if you'll be able to make money next time? "The Lu family will definitely not agree, this silver belongs to Xiaobao, and no one wants to take it.
"Mother, you still don't believe me? I said that there is a way, there is a way. There are so many people in our family, and the third brother is going to say goodbye soon, and there are already a lot of people in the family, and they can't squeeze in. Besides, I'm older, since I'm going, I don't have to have my own study? The house must be built, and the brick house will have to be built. The land should also be bought, and the silver will only get less and less when it is put there, so it is better to buy the land, and only when there is interest in the land can silver be born! Dad, what do you say? ”
In fact, Daddy Gu has been moved by Gu Chengyu's words, what does the peasant man care about most? Not yet fields and crops? With land, there will be surplus food in your hands, and with surplus food, you really don't have to worry about starvation. "Otherwise, buy less land first? Now the best paddy field is eight taels of silver per acre, so buy 35 acres? ”
"That feeling is good, there is more food, so I don't have to drink black batter all day long, I am still hungry when I drink mush, it is better to eat and avoid hunger!" He imagined that their family had bought dozens of acres of land, and had a dry meal, or boiled gruel with polished rice like the Zhao landlord's family, and served it with white flour cakes, the taste was called a fragrant! Thinking about it this way, I felt hungry again after the dinner I had just eaten.
Everyone unanimously ignored He's words, especially Lu's felt that this was a loser who didn't have enough to eat.
"Old man, use all the silver, what should Xiaobao do? You don't care about Xiaobao anymore? As soon as the Lu family heard that Father Gu agreed, they became anxious.
