Gu Yao was very busy.

Not to mention the enlightenment bookstore tossed with Song Haitang and Yao Feifei, it is the work of opening your mouth to take over the racecourse, which is a headache and a split brain. The racecourse is easy to choose, and there is a barren wasteland in Ruanjiazhuang that no one has opened, and you can buy it at a low price.

The next difficulty is that there is a shortage of materials to build a house - Wanping has added a lot of people in recent years, and he has to build a new capital, there is a shortage of wood, and the price of bricks and tiles is high.

Gu Yao hurriedly told Song Haitang about the situation, and persuaded the Song family to build a new house immediately, otherwise it would not be built in two years. Song Haitang is also an insider, so he told He Funiang. He Funiang hurriedly discussed with her husband and mother-in-law, and decided to buy land and build a house with the Song family.

Yao Feifei won the right to do business in Shuntianfu from his family, and he also wanted the future of Shuntianfu. After getting the letter, they wanted to build a house together, Gu Yao disagreed, because he said: "With you, I will save one hundred and eighty taels of silver, but I can't buy back a thousand taels of my father's name, so it's better not to want it." ”

The enlightenment bookstore organized by the three of them operates all kinds of enlightenment cloth books, as well as building blocks, educational toys and so on. Yao Feifei is in charge of promotion, Song Haitang comes up with the idea, and Gu Yao is the one who realizes the idea. Every toy was made by Gu Yao first, and then taught to the carpenter he found.

Carpenters make in batches, which belongs to the production process; Song Haitang's idea belongs to the early goal of market research. Gu Yao's positioning for himself is research and development. From scratch, from samples to finished products. Based on the experience of later generations, Gu Yao has never taken a penny of other incomes except for R&D expenses.

She should go down to Guzhi County, and she will abide by it.

Song Haitang gets along with her a lot, and somewhat understands her stubbornness. Seeing that Yao Feifei wanted to say more, Song Haitang grabbed her and said with a smile: "I don't have enough money on hand, wait a few months, and I'll build it with you." ”

Yao Feifei thought of the ostracization he had received from the Lu family recently, pursed his lips, and stopped squeaking.

In March, the construction of the Gu family's horse farm began. Gu Yao didn't come forward in person, and there were a lot of things behind it, such as three meals a day for craftsmen, schedule arrangements, and so on. If it weren't for Gu Zhixian also living in Ruanjiazhuang, Gu Yao would really be too busy.

Gu Zhixian has been in Zhuangzi for three days, and he has been studying this and that with a group of farmers all day. On this day, Gu Yao saw the yellow cancan particles in Gu Zhixian's hand, and felt very familiar, and when he got closer, it was nothing else, it was corn!

Corn, will Daming have it now? Gu Yao was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

Gu Zhixian saw that she was interested, so he spread out his palm, revealing the shriveled corn kernels, and said, "I don't know what this is, right?" It was last year, and Zheng Dajian brought back a new crop, which the saint called corn. ”

"Daddy." Gu Yao swallowed his saliva, patted the sticky corn, pine nut corn, and cheese baked corn in his mind, and asked Gu Zhixian, "You don't know how to grow this, do you?" ”

"Not really. There are still methods of cultivation, but the soil of the South Seas is different from the soil of the Ming Dynasty, and the four seasons are far apart. Therefore, my father had to gather Wanping's farmer to discuss the specific method of trying to plant this corn. ”

Gu Yao immediately asked for a handful back, and said, "In this case, give me this one." Yao Feifei knew a lot of people, and asked her to help find it. ”

Not long after, Gu Yao carried corn kernels and went to find Song Haitang.

Song family.

Song Haitang just came back from the city and was persuading Song Erlang and his wife: "There will be more and more people in Shuntian Mansion, although it is more expensive to build a house here than two years ago, it is better to pass later." And with the Yao family to feed together, you will be able to save a lot of money. ”

Although it is said that the Song family built an earthen house, but what Song Haitang said is also the truth, Song Erlang and his family are not very easy to object, and they all bowed their heads, Song Erlang only said: "There is no spare money at home, you put it forward, you want to find a way to make the silver." ”

Song Haitang didn't count on the family, she said: "I have inquired, a tiled house, it costs about three taels of silver at this time." I borrowed 20 taels of silver from the Yao family to build three main rooms and three east rooms, which should not be a problem. ”

Hearing that she was going to build six tiled houses, even Haitang Niang took a breath, and the two of them said in unison: "No!" ”

Song Haitang had already prepared, and he used his younger brother who had no shadow to fool the two of them: "Only three rooms are built, and my mother gave birth to a younger brother, so I can't live there." If you build another wing, it will be troublesome again, so why bother? ”

Although Song Erlang was very discouraged, he firmly believed that he would have a son, so he changed his words: "Then build a side room." ”

Haitang Niang nodded, glanced at the eldest girl, and then expressed her worries: "Your whole shop, can you pay back the money at the end of the year?" Your eldest sister is sixteen years old this year, and if you want to see other people's houses, you have to prepare a dowry or two. ”

Song Erlang said angrily: "How can you be rich when you marry a girl?" Not to mention others, when you got married before, my father hired two or two, and your family also prepared a dowry of two taels of silver. ”

When it comes to this, begonias are angry. When she was a girl before, she only relied on needles and threads, and when did she not save a small amount of money? She and her sister discussed marriage at the same time, and her sister-in-law's in-laws were hired for ten taels of silver, and the Song family was hired for two taels. The Song family was so embarrassed, she was angry at the time, and she didn't teach her father to add a tael of silver. As a result, the in-laws talked about this every year. It wasn't until she inquired about her sister-in-law's dowry that it was over.

When Song Yingchun heard this, his eyes turned red.

When the family conditions were not good before, she didn't think about the dowry. At this time, I don't want to be hungry, I don't rely on anything else, I just say that I can save two dollars a year by feeding the chickens and collecting eggs. She calculated carefully, and the two hangs of money did not hinder the life of the family.

When she gets married, she should be able to marry somewhat, right? This kind of extravagant expectation, Song Yingchun still often has. As soon as Song Erlang's words came out, she didn't give her a dowry regardless of whether she had money or not, how could she not be sad.

Qiu Ju approached her, saw her expression, pointed at Song Haitang, who was frowning, and pursed her lips and smiled.

Song Yingchun looked up, and Song Haitang looked over. Song Haitang smiled apologetically, then turned to Haitang Niang, and said, "Thanks to my mother's reminder, I forgot about this stubble." My mother just needs to find her eldest sister's in-law's house, and I'll think about the dowry. ”

Song Erlang immediately lost his face and said angrily: "The money you earn is also from the family, and you have to listen to me." ”

Song Haitang's money will be more and more, and he has long wanted to have a showdown with Song Erlang, so he said with a smile: "Take advantage of today's free time to make it clear to my father." The things at home are still owed ten taels for the land they bought before, and they will continue to owe it for building a house now. I'll be responsible for all of this. In the future, those fields and farms will be under the control of your father, and the money will be at your disposal. Otherwise, it's me. ”

"No way!"

didn't want to think about it, Song Erlang refused directly.

Song Haitang was not annoyed, but said: "Then I won't toss anymore." Running around day by day, whispering in front of people, trying to be wronged at home, why should I be thankless? The tiled house is no longer built, and the Gu family owes ten taels of silver, and my father slowly pays it back. The days without tossing are always ten times stronger than before, and I can live. ”

The naked threat, Song Erlang was immediately annoyed, and picked up the door bolt and shot people.

Song Haitang didn't expect him to make a move, he couldn't dodge, and he was taken for a while. After that, the sound of the deadbolt slapping people did not stop, but it had already called someone else to block it.
