Chapter 42 Tang Ji Buzhuang
"That's it! Go and rest, all of you! Xiaobao, haven't you done your homework today? Hurry up and light the oil lamp and make it. Otherwise, Ming'er, what will you give to Master Wen? Seeing that Gu Chengyi didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, Daddy Gu didn't want to force it, so Gu Chengli asked Gu Chengyi to press it, so he didn't move. Fang's and He's two women's families have always been ignored.
Father Gu firmly believes in Gu Chengyu, and he will never be fine if he eats fungus. But he couldn't tell anyone why.
"Humph! The eldest and second family, bring the oil lamp in your house, Xiaobao wants to read and write, and only one oil lamp is definitely not enough. Lu Shi shouted to the eldest and second family. The old man thought about the second child, but the old man wanted to taste it, but the second man didn't stop it, this second man, I'm afraid that even the old man hates it, right?
"Little treasure! You said you'd seen it in a book. But you've only been in private school for two days, so do you know so many words? Also, where did you find this book? Gu Chengyi looked at Gu Chengyu suspiciously.
The Gu family is now literate, and Gu Chengyu can certainly lie.
"I read it in a private school in the town, and I drew pictures in the book! I hadn't seen this before, so I asked the shopkeeper! Gu Chengyu had already made an excuse, and he was not afraid of Gu Chengyi asking, anyway, the second brother was illiterate, so he couldn't ask anything even if he asked, and there was no need for tomorrow.
"Since you said what you saw in the book, then you saw it in the book! Father! It's getting late, so let's go back to the house. Gu Chengyi stood up, glanced at the fungus on the table, and saw that the plate was not big, and besides, there were still some leftovers on the plate, so he only ate so much, it should be fine, right?
"I'll talk about building a house when I come back tomorrow! If we have to rebuild, then where will we live? Father Gu suddenly thought that if the Gu family's house was to be demolished and rebuilt, where would the whole family live? It's not a day or two to build a house, but at least a month, right?
"Old man, didn't you say that in the west of the village, there is a family in Li Langzhong's family, which was originally lived by Liu Laoguang? Isn't this house still empty today? "The Lu family can think of that house, also because Liu Lao is a bachelor, and he is really pitiful, Liu Lao is an outsider, and he thinks that he has no money, so he didn't marry his mother-in-law.
I got older day by day, and as a result, in the winter of five years ago, I died at home for several days, and no one knew. The snow was quite heavy that year, and several houses were crushed in every house, and the house of Liu Lao's bachelor's house was also with earthen walls and thatched roofs, and half of the houses were crushed. The people next door saw that Liu Lao's bachelor's house had collapsed, and there was no movement from others, so they went in to take a look and found that the person had already lost his breath and his body was hard.
"I'm afraid the house can't be inhabited, right? It's all going to collapse! Besides, Liu Lao died in the house, it's too unlucky! Gu Chengyi immediately objected.
"Whose house hasn't had anyone dead? Could it be that everyone else doesn't live there? That house is also an adobe house, the adobe looks okay, the thatch on the top is piled up with all your own effort, anyway, I don't live for long, I live for more than a month, I can't bear it these days? Again! The room is quite big, so let's squeeze it. "Daddy Gu wants to come and go, but he can only live there, and go to other people's houses to disturb him, definitely not, they are a big family.
"Second child, you bring some more things tomorrow, go to Lizheng's house, and tell him to lend the house to us to live in, and when the house is built, we will move. If he refuses, then you will give some money, right? Count us as renting. Father Gu thought about it again and again, but he still felt that Liu Lao's house was the most suitable.
"Hey!" Gu Chengyi saw that Father Gu had made up his mind, and he didn't say anything more.
"Daddy! So when are we going to move? Can you build a house tomorrow? As soon as He heard that a new house was going to be built, the brain that was originally sleepy immediately became sober.
"What I told the craftsmen was the day after tomorrow, let them come and take a look at the terrain first, and see the bottom cover." Daddy Gu took a cigarette stick, took a sip of nostalgia, and asked Lu Shi to stop him, he was about to go to sleep, and he smoked again, what should he do when he left?
The next day, Gu Chengyi lay on the kang and couldn't sleep, so he sat up and propped up the window. looked at the door of the main house from the window again, waited for a while, and saw Gu Daddy and Gu Chengyu walking out of the house, the two were talking, Gu Chengyi saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he lay down with confidence. But when I think about it, why did I go to school so early today?
Gu Chengyu and Daddy Gu took an oxcart out of Shangling Village, "Dad! Do you know how many restaurants there are in town? Which one is bigger? ”
"When it comes to restaurants, the biggest ones in the town are the two that welcome guests and gather and building. I met the shopkeeper Zhou in the town, and this welcome guest was opened by his owner. Shopkeeper Zhou must know the shopkeeper of the restaurant, let's go to Shopkeeper Zhou first. "Daddy Gu had already planned to go to Shopkeeper Zhou yesterday.
Gu Chengyu listened to Gu's father introduce the shopkeeper of Zhou all the way, it turned out that the shopkeeper of Zhou was the shopkeeper of Tang Ji Cloth Village in the town, and his owner had cloth villages and restaurants in the county and other towns.
Daddy Gu and Shopkeeper Zhou met because Daddy Gu saved his life, Daddy Gu also went to the town to carry work when he was young, once on the small dock, he happened to meet Shopkeeper Zhou accidentally fell into the river, and Shopkeeper Zhou happened to not know water, so Daddy Gu jumped into the river and rescued him.
In the end, Daddy Gu also declined the thank you gift from the shopkeeper Zhou, and the two met because of this. In fact, at that time, if Daddy Gu didn't go down to save people, the people next to him would also save him, but Daddy Gu acted faster!
Shopkeeper Zhou sighed that Daddy Gu was sincere, and since then, as long as Daddy Gu goes to the town to find a job, his work will be counted as Daddy Gu, and he will give more money. So much so that now that Father Gu is old, the eldest brother and the second brother are also given priority to work. There are a lot of people on the dock who want to resist the bag, and many people can't find a job to do, especially when the farm is slack.
Gu Chengyu and Daddy Gu arrived in the town more than an hour earlier than two days ago, and Daddy Gu went straight to Shopkeeper Zhou's cloth village. The village usually opens early, because the women of the village come to the town very early.
Father Gu parked the ox cart under the big tree next to the cloth village, tied the cow, and pulled Gu Chengyu into the cloth village.
Buzhuang is a two-room house, and there are already two or three guys in the store at this time, and there is an account room on the counter that is napping. Gu Chengyu looked around and saw that the cloth village was mainly divided into two areas, one was dedicated to selling cotton cloth and coarse cloth, and the other was for satin, silk and yarn, but the number of these was less, and the colors were not complicated, while the colors and shuangliang of cotton and coarse cloth were more.
The wooden cabinets for the cloth were placed diagonally against the wall, and a guy was dusting the cloth on the wooden rack with a feather duster.
One of the guys saw Gu Chengyu and them stepping into the shop, and immediately greeted them warmly. "Hey~ guest officer, what are you going to buy?"
Although Daddy Gu was a man and wore coarse cloth, the guy didn't underestimate them, and still greeted them very warmly.
In fact, the guy also felt very puzzled, early in the morning, as soon as the door was opened, two strange people came in. One is an old man wearing a coarse cloth short, and the other is a little baby wearing a cotton cloth straight jacket, it's really weird! Looking left and right, these two people don't look like they bought cloth. However, the shopkeeper said, people should not be good-looking, open the door to do business, and must not look down on people, who knows if the person you just looked down on will be a big customer?
