Chapter 13 The red-eyed Huang family

"Yo! Third Uncle of the Gu family, is this to the town? Huang looked at the brand-new ox cart and wondered a little, but he didn't see anyone driving the cart left and right.

"Ahh It's back. "Daddy Gu is a little dislike about the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family next door, he likes Taoism all day long, and he likes to get together with Wang Yueniang the most. After a brief reply, he prepared to drive the ox cart into the yard.

"The second uncle of the Gu family, but there are relatives here. Why did this ox cart still enter the yard? Huang looked at the sturdy big yellow cow with some red eyes, this cow is a precious domestic animal.

Although Father Gu didn't want to talk to the Huang family, he was happy when he mentioned the cow he had just bought, and he couldn't help but want to say a few more words.

"Where are the relatives? Isn't this the cow I just bought in town today? ”

Gu Chengyu was pushing open the courtyard gate, about to let the ox cart into the courtyard, when he heard the Huang family coming from the courtyard next door.

"What? Did you buy a cow? This bullock cart belongs to you, huh? Gee! Ouch! The third uncle of the Gu family? Isn't your family rich? This bullock cart costs a lot of silver, right? When the Huang family heard that it was bought by the Gu family, they were shocked.

Huang ran to the front of the Gu family's courtyard, touched the carriage on the car, and touched the big yellow cow with the car in front of him, and sighed while touching his mouth: "Look at this cow!" Fat and strong, but a good hand at pulling a cart to plow the land! And this carriage, I saw that other people's carriages have this. ”

Father Gu saw that she couldn't finish touching her, and he lost his patience, "The nephew and daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, we just came back and haven't eaten lunch yet!" ”

"Oops! Look at me? Isn't this a rarity to look at cows? Third Uncle of the Gu family, your family is now in Shangling Village! Huang gave a thumbs up to Daddy Gu.

"That's not daring, there is no shortage of cattle in the Zhao landlord's house." Daddy Gu is actually happy in his heart, in addition to the landlord Zhao in Shangling Village, his family can also be counted, right? I'm afraid that no one's family has as much money as his family.

"Third Uncle of the Gu family! But where did you make your fortune? Say it so that we can also earn some money and spend money, they are all from the same village, not to mention that our two families are still close to each other! There is silver, everyone earns! Gu Chengyu saw Huang licking his smiling face, and that smile was as flattering as he wanted.

At the same time, he also scoffed at Huang's words, this woman is also a fool, if there is really a way to get money, who would be willing to say it? However, his family has bought an ox cart today, and will have to buy land and build a house in the future, if he doesn't say a way to make a fortune, I am afraid that there will be more groundless suspicions in the village, and some people will have those crooked thoughts. Gu Chengyu thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to reveal something.

Daddy Gu was about to get angry when he heard this, how shameless was this to say such a thing? No matter how much silver his family has, it has nothing to do with his Jiang family, right?

Gu Chengyu hurriedly pulled Daddy Gu over and whispered a few words in Daddy Gu's ear, Daddy Gu was not happy at first, and then he had to nod helplessly.

"If you want to talk about this way of getting money! No, a few days ago, Xiaobao and I went up the mountain, dug ginseng on the mountain, and sold some silver, otherwise, how could there be silver to buy an ox cart? ”

Huang slapped his thigh, "What? Why is it so coincidental? It's a stroke of luck! How much silver did that ginseng sell for? Huang's eyes lit up when he heard the ginseng.

"The ginseng is not big, so it sells for dozens of taels." Daddy Gu thinks it's better to talk less, anyway, Li Langzhong won't go out and talk nonsense.

"Dozens of taels? So much? When the Huang family heard that it had been sold for dozens of taels, they were so jealous that they were about to go crazy, this Gu family's luck is too good, right?

"Yes! But now I have bought an ox cart and a field, and there is nothing left. Xiaobao, let's go back to dinner. "Daddy Gu deliberately said that there was no silver left, one is to prevent others from borrowing it for no reason, and the other is to beware of small nights, it is not safe to put silver at home.

The two pulled the ox cart into the courtyard, and regardless of the Huang family outside, they closed the courtyard door.

Gu Chengyu can be sure that after today, everyone in the village will know that his family has dug up ginseng and sold it for a lot of silver.

"Mother! Come out quickly. Gu Chengyu shouted at the main house, wanting to surprise his mother.

"What's wrong?" Lu Shi asked, collected the sewing clothes in his hand, folded them neatly, and put them into the kangqin. Then he got off the kang, put on his shoes and went to the yard.

"Ouch! Whose ox cart is this? Why did you get into the yard? As soon as Lu Shi came out of the main house, he was startled by the big bull's eyes of the big scalper.

Gu Chengyu grinned, ready to leave the explanation to his father, and entered the main house with the package he carried from the ox cart.

After a while, Lu Shi and Gu's father entered the house, "Why did you buy an ox cart?" Didn't you say it would save you some money? Xiaobao's reading money was used to buy you an ox cart? ”

"Didn't I think that Xiaobao had to go to the town every day, and it would be more convenient if there was an ox cart? The ox cart that is always called the old king's head adds up day by day. That's a lot of money! Besides, his cow is walking too slowly, so it is better to buy a new one, and Xiaobao can sleep more in the morning. "Father Gu has also thought about it, the ox cart is indeed essential.

"Mother, our family is about to buy land, with cattle, dad and they are not so tired, besides, there is more land, relying on manpower to do it, and delaying the work!" Gu Chengyu persuaded beside him.

"Humph! I can't say you two anyway. I've bought it, can I return it? By the way, what's going on with Xiaobao's reading today? Lu had been waiting for news at home, but he was shocked by the cow and then remembered.

"It's done! Just read to Mr. Wen, you have to get up early tomorrow and make some food for Xiaobao, Xiaobao eats lunch in the private school, and their private school can't eat lunch until the beginning of noon, and they must be hungry. ”

"That's three meals a day, and you have to get up early in the morning to make nests." Lu Shi thought for a moment and decided to get up early every morning to urge the eldest and second family to make the nest.

Eating at a private school, Gu Chengyu thought about it. Because if it's hot, the food you bring will be rancid, so it's better to eat it in a private school, which is actually not expensive. I also thought that his family's system of two meals a day should be changed.

"Mother, then let's add a meal in the morning! Dad, eldest brother, and second brother still have to get up early to work in the fields, and if they don't eat and go to the fields, how can they have the strength to work? ”

"How can our family have so much food to eat? Let's talk about that! Lu Shi took out a cloth bag from the kang and was sewing the edges, and said without raising his head.

Gu Chengyu knew at a glance that it was his mother who was perfunctory to him, but the Gu family did not have a fixed source of money now, and when he made the soap, he must buy more rice and noodles to improve the Gu family's food.

"Mother! What are you doing? Gu Chengyu looked at the cloth bag in Lu's hand, boxy, could this be the bookbag sewn for him?

"You're going to study tomorrow, can't you sew a bookbag?" Lu Shi compared the needle and thread in his hand to the light outside the window, and squinted his eyes, and his hands kept shuttling.

"Mother, don't sew, rest for a while! Don't burn your eyes! Gu Chengyu was a little distressed.

"It's going to be fine right away, wait a little longer!"

"Mother! I'm hungry, and my dad and I haven't even had lunch when we come back! Gu Chengyu was very helpless, so he had to come up with a killer idea.

"What? You're also a fool, why don't you know to buy some food for Xiaobao in the town? Just came back hungry? Wait, I'll still hang the buns you brought back in the well! I'm afraid I'll give you some heat. As soon as Lu Shi heard that the two had not eaten, he immediately put down the needle and thread in his hand and went to the kitchen.

It turned out that the mother didn't eat the bun, so she kept it for him again.

I thought that there was still a nest and a bag of peach blossom cakes in the space, and when I was free, I would ask Da Lang to divide them.
