Chapter Seventy-Two: The Helper
"The second one's family, it's not that I won't let your eldest brother come. It's your eldest brother who doesn't know how to do heavy work at all, so what do you call him to do?" Father Gu was also a little unhappy when he was questioned by the He family, and the second family was a little messy.
"That's it! What kind of virtue does your eldest brother have, don't you know it yourself? Gu Chengyi saw that He was going to talk back again, and immediately scolded.
For the sake of my brother-in-law, it is not worth it to make my father angry. Besides, if his brother-in-law really came, he was afraid that others would not even be able to eat. Thinking of the situation two years ago during the Chinese New Year, when his uncle was eating at the table, he finally knew that the He family had a family heirloom from their He family, the brother and sister were virtuous, and the brother-in-law was even better.
Seeing that his father-in-law was a little unhappy, and even the baby's father had spoken, even if He was dissatisfied, he had to let go of this matter.
The next day, Gu's father sent Gu Chengyu to a private school, and when he came back, he took Gu Chengli and they started to move. The big house at the foot of the mountain was already cleaned up by Daddy Gu, and they only needed to move things in, but the kang on the plate could not be burned because it had not been used for a long time. However, now that it's spring, you can even use a kang.
At the party, when Gu Chengyu came back, he went to the house to have a look. I saw that the house that used to look dilapidated and collapsed is now the same.
Although it is a mud brick thatched house, the house is not small, and the yard is quite large. The layout of the houses of the farmers in the Dayan Dynasty is almost the same, so according to the original rules, Gu Lao's father and wife took Gu Chengyu and Gu Wan to live in the main house, and the other houses lived in the east and west wings, but this main house did not have a back cover room, so Gu Lao San and Gu Lao Si asked Gu Laosan and Gu Lao Si to squeeze the cover room behind the big house, anyway, they would only live for more than a month.
"Daddy! When I moved the house, I saw that the honeysuckle and fungus on the mountain were almost ready, and I should be able to pick them. After Ming'er finishes moving things, let's move in! It is right at the foot of the mountain, and it is easier to go up the mountain. Gu Chengyu bit the nest and remembered that the honeysuckle silver could still be picked once, and this time it should be the last flowering period.
While they weren't going up the mountain, he had to put the rotten wood into the mountain, and he would have to talk to his father later.
"Hmmm! I met Shopkeeper Liang in the town today, and he said that the fungus was almost sold out, so let's send it quickly. It's good that he met me today, otherwise he would have run to our house. Father Gu remembered what the shopkeeper Liang asked today, he didn't give a definite answer at that time, he had already gone up the mountain to see it, and he didn't see the fungus in the original place, thinking that Xiaobao had put them all in the fairy, and he didn't know if the fungus had grown, and he didn't dare to agree casually.
"This time it should be a little bit more than the last one." When the rotten wood was put into the space, Gu Chengyu also collected a few more of the remaining pieces from the previous mountain. So, there should be more of them this time.
"That's great! Our family has been spending money recently, and there are people who come and go, so don't you want to sit and eat empty? Now that I have another income, I am not afraid that there will be no money at home. "Lu Shi watched the silver flow out every day, and he felt a pain in his flesh. If there is no more income, it will only decrease day by day, and she is anxious!
Gu Chengyu looked at his mother's breath of relief and was a little funny, "Mother! Didn't I say that? I'll earn the money! What are you worried about? ”
Even Father Gu was laughing at the Lu family's childishness, so he wouldn't say that he was actually distressed in his heart.
"Little treasure! You're still a baby! Do you want a little baby to raise a large family? The most important thing for you now is to study hard, and your mother also pointed out that you were admitted to the top prize, so that your mother could be an old Fengjunli! Lu touched Gu Chengyu's head and said lovingly.
When He heard this, he pursed his lips, but he didn't expect her mother-in-law's ambition to be quite big. I still want to be the old feudal monarch of the official family, and the official is so easy to test? Is it too early to think about this little baby? Besides, they are all peasant children, how can they be so easy to get in? Still the champion? Bah! What a face!
Gu Chengli lowered his head a little ashamedly, and suddenly thought that the house and fields at home were all earned by Xiaobao, and they were all relying on the silver earned by Xiaobao to eat, drink and spend money, alas! It's also that he's useless as a big brother! was originally eating fragrant wowo, but now there is no appetite.
"Mother! I'll read well! Gu Chengyu put down his chopsticks and looked at Lu Shi firmly, he didn't want to say a promise like being a big official at this moment, he could only guarantee that he would work hard, life was always full of accidents like this and that, and he couldn't guarantee what would happen in the future.
"Hey! Mother knows that our Xiaobao is a smart and filial baby. A big smile appeared on Lu's face, and after speaking, he took a large piece of scrambled eggs from the plate and put it in Gu Chengyu's bowl.
The atmosphere of the interaction between the mother and son seems warm, but the people at the same table have different thoughts.
"Daddy! Have we chosen the person we will help with? Gu Chengyi didn't have the patience to look at their mother's kindness and filial piety, so he asked Daddy Gu.
"Not yet! Craftsman Sun said that this time he brought five people and asked us to find five more to do chores. If the old family's Huaishan is counted as one, then it has to be called four more. ”
Today, there is another official in the village, and he sees that most of the people in the village have handed over the silver, so it is not difficult to call people this time.
"Daddy! It's better to call Aunt Wang's house! Aunt Wang has helped us several times! I didn't thank anyone properly. Gu Chengyu remembered that every time there was something at home, Aunt Wang said good things to his family, and twice helped him run before and after, and besides, his men were well-known for being diligent in the village.
"Hmmm! I fancy it! It's called Wang Erniu! Others are diligent, even if they don't rush at you Aunt Wang, I want to be called Wang Erniu. Boss, second, tell me, there are still three people left, but there is a suitable candidate? ”
"Daddy! The people in the village are still familiar with you! Look for it! Gu Chengli was named by his father, and he thought about it before he said.
"Daddy! The boy in the west of the village is still his father, so let's call him! He's got a lot of strength! Gu Chengyi proposed.
"No! His strength is great, but he also eats a lot! "When the Lu family heard it, it was terrible! Han Wazi is like his father, he eats a lot and his body grows strong.
"He's done, though he eats more! But it's a lot of strength! Those who do our work have to be strong, and they are not afraid of him eating. Father Gu was also very satisfied when he heard the candidate.
"Daddy! Can you call Chunhua his father? Gu Wan listened on the sidelines, and suddenly remembered Chunhua's father, if his father came to work, would Chunhua be able to come to her often?
"Let's do it! That grandson is counted as one, I will call Ming'er, and there is another, Ming'er will go to the village to take a look, and I can always find it. If they are all willing to work hard, then we have so much land, and we will pick two of them to help. "Daddy Gu thinks of so much land, and only relying on a few people in the family, it will definitely not work.
But what Gu Chengyu thought was that when the family had a stable livelihood and bought more land, it would inevitably be sold to a few people, and the people in the village would be hired. He is not exclusive to buying people, he will not have such an idea of the Virgin, and he feels that there is no human right, after all, the imperial power is supreme here.
