Gu Yi arrived at the kitchen room, and Gu's mother was putting the medicine he was going to drink into a bowl.

Gu Yi looked at the black herbs, his tongue unconsciously fluttered, and he felt that his throat and eyes had begun to be bitter.

Gu Mu looked at Gu Yi's facial features that were about to wrinkle together, and quipped, "How old a person is, I am still afraid of the bitterness of medicine, and I am not ashamed." As he spoke, he took out two candied fruits from a small jar in the kitchen room, put them in a small plate, and pushed them in front of Gu Yi.

Looking at the candied fruit in front of him, Gu Yi only felt that his throat and eyes were not bitter, and his heart was sweet.

"Mother, I'm going to go to the town to have a look." Gu Yi picked up the medicine bowl and took a sip, and quickly put a candied fruit in his mouth.

"To the town?" Gu's mother looked at Gu Yi, who was already a head taller than herself, and her face was full of doubts.

Gu Yi looked at Gu's mother with a puzzled look, and he didn't know where to start, he wanted to say that he didn't want to study anymore and wanted to learn to do business, but if he said this directly, I was afraid that Gu's mother would definitely not be able to accept it for a while.

Forget it, let's take it step by step, it's not good to be in a hurry, Gu Yi thought so in his heart, and figured it out, "Yes, mother, I want to go around the town, buy some salt, come back and see if I can grind it into fine salt, and then ask what the price of the better salt in the town is, if it is ground into the family, it will be able to make more entries, so that my father and mother will not be so tired." ”

Gu Yi found a reason to go to the town, and this reason was something he thought of when he saw the salt shaker just now.

If you want to come to the best iodized salt in this supermarket space, you will definitely be able to sell it at a good price! Not to mention making a fortune, at least you can buy something for your family.

Looking at Gu's mother in a shabby cyan linen dress, aside from the gorgeous and old and new, it is incompatible with the current season and weather, and the clothes Gu Ran is wearing, which is tight and obviously does not fit.

If you can make money this time, you must buy a few new clothes for everyone in the family first.

Gu's mother heard Gu Yi say that she was going to buy some salt and grind it back to make fine salt, her heart moved, she used Gu Yi's salt to cook in the past two days, she knew how good this salt was, it was not fishy or smelly, it melted in the mouth, and it was much better than the smelly and hard salt!

Thinking that Gu Yi usually has time to study in the house, but now he offers to go to the town to buy salt for the sake of the family's livelihood, Gu's mother can't help but wet her eyes, and she blames herself and is relieved, blaming herself for being useless as a father and mother, and has no money to send her son to school, and is relieved naturally because Gu Yi is sensible and caring.

"Mother, what are you crying about?" Gu Yi stepped forward and wiped the tears from the corners of Gu's mother's eyes with his hand, and coaxed softly.

Gu Yi didn't know that such a trivial matter would make Gu's mother think so much, and he also knew that the original owner had an extreme pursuit of reading.

The original owner entered the hall relatively late, he was already fourteen years old at the time, and some children of the same age even got married and had babies, but he was unwilling to live so mediocre, and he didn't want those cold-blooded relatives to ridicule his father and mother again and again, look down on himself again and again, and ridicule his sister and younger brother, he thinks that only by studying can he get rid of these, which is very similar to Gu Yi in his previous life, but Gu Yi is through entrepreneurship, and the original owner wants to study through reading.

So, when the original owner was fourteen years old, the original owner took the initiative to propose to Gu's father and mother to go to school, Gu's father and Gu's mother obviously knew that the original owner wanted to go to school, but because of the family for a reason, the family had been separated for six years, and there was no way to send him there.

This time, when the original owner brought it up, Gu's father and Gu mother glanced at each other, and as soon as they were ruthless, they responded, and they couldn't wronged the child, so they went to ask Mrs. Gu that night, Mrs. Gu has also been haggard in the past few years, but she is still very fair and upright, and she agreed with a decisive word.

A year's bundle is all together, and the original owner entered the school as usual, because the original owner usually reads a lot of books at home, and he can be regarded as a good qualification in the school, but because of his age, he was excluded in the school.

The original owner ignored these, and just wanted to concentrate on studying, and get fame as soon as possible, and when the fame was achieved, all the grievances he had suffered would disappear.

The original owner's performance in the school is quite good, and his smart mind and non-pedantic concepts make the doctor in the school look at him differently and plan to cultivate him well.

But people are not as good as the sky, the next year, the old lady Gu died, the backbone of the Gu family fell, after the old lady's funeral, Gujia Village re-elected the village head, the people's will, Yu Changshi naturally became the new village head.

And the uncle and the fourth uncle of the original owner invited Li Zheng after the election of the village head, and carried out a forced separation, and the Gu family was a chicken flying and a dog jumping, and the Gu family collapsed at once, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the tree fell and scattered.

Whether it's a separation, Gu's father and Gu mother have long wanted to split up, and the tempers of the husband and wife are relatively mild, especially Gu's mother, who is a scholarly family, although the family is not a daughter, but she is definitely a model of virtuous and virtuous, a good mother and a good wife.

But because the husband and wife are usually too mild-tempered, they live with a heart that does not make enemies with others, and they are regarded as the softest persimmon, and anyone can run up and pinch it twice.

After the separation, Gu's father and Gu's mother got something that was simply pitiful, except for a few acres of land that must be divided, they were given ten taels of silver to Gu's father's family, Gu's father was also angry at the time, but it was also unreasonable to say, no one could ask for it.

He went to the new village head Yu Changshi to reason, and Yu Changshi looked like he wanted to administer justice for him, but he didn't care about himself in and out of his words, and even after he walked out of Yu Changshi's house, he heard Yu Changshi's hearty laughter, which was like the crow cry in winter, piercing and dry.

After that, there is no aftermath, and the separation of the family is over.

The mud houses I live in now are all the silver from Gu's mother's mother's family, as well as Gu's mother's dowry plus the ten taels of silver I received, and I bought this house for a total of eighty taels.

The owners of this house are two old men, because their son has made a fortune in the town, and he has taken them to live in the town, and he is ready to take root in the town and live for a long time, so he sold the house in the village.

The old man is also kind-hearted, he has lived in Gujia Village for most of his life, and he has also heard about Gu's father's family, seeing that Gu's father's family of five has no place to live for a while, and there is not so much silver, so he sold it to Gu's father's family cheaply, otherwise these three mud houses plus a blue brick house are worth at least more than a hundred taels. It can be regarded as solving the urgent need of Gu's father and family, otherwise I don't know how long it will take to rebuild the house.

With a place to live, Gu's father began to plan for the family's livelihood, relying on those few acres of land alone, I was afraid that he would not even be able to eat and clothe him, so he went to the town to learn a trade.

Gu's father can be said to be very smart, he learned a very cold craft, carving, and became a teacher when others were not optimistic.

There is no need to carve in the village, and there are very few in the town, all the people in Jindu City came down to buy the carved wood, Gu's father has quietly inquired, the price of the purchase is very considerable, but the requirements are also very strict, the carving must be in accordance with the pattern they gave, it must be accurate.

At first, the price of this purchase also caused a sensation, but after a group of people went to learn, they found that if they made money from this, they were afraid that the whole family would starve to death.

Carving, very time-consuming, and hand strength to be big, not only hand strength to be big, but also to use skill, to put it bluntly, the hand to be skillful, relying on brute force alone is useless.

Time-consuming and hand strength are all small things, many people can do it, the main thing is this ingenuity, easy to say, and so really get started, find that this hand seems not to be their own hand, either carved heavy or carved shallow, waste time not to say, but also to pay for the carving of wood money!

This discouraged the enthusiasm of most people, and gradually no one went to learn this carving, and the demand in the capital above was still growing, and the profit margin of this carving rose again.

Gu's father saw the business opportunity in carving, and when he returned to his home, he tried wood a few times, and found that it was not so difficult, so he went to the town and spent some money to learn this craft.

Not to mention, Gu's father really has a talent for carving, even Master Tian, who taught him, praised him, saying that he was a good seedling, and it didn't take long for Gu's father to take charge alone, and some of the big jobs sent down by the master would also be left to him, and during that time, Gu's father did earn a lot of silver.

Master Tian's eccentricity gradually aroused the jealousy of other people who also learned carving, and most of them were still honest, feeling that their skills were not as good as others, and they might not be able to complete the big job.

But the anger in the hearts of a few people became more and more vigorous, thinking why the old man gave all the good work to Gu's father, and finally this fire broke out.

Those people discussed it behind their backs, and did their tricks on the work that Gu's father had just finished and was ready to hand in, and the honest and upright Gu father didn't know what was going on, and he didn't find anything after checking it, and when the people above came to check the finished product, they found that the inside of the wood carving had been hollowed out, and some rotten wood chips were filled in it.

After that, Gu's father lost a high amount of silver, not to mention the silver he earned in the past six months, Master Tian also helped to cushion some, and Master Tian knew in his heart that Gu's father was framed.
