Chapter 18 Gu Ling'er
Gu Jin's only satisfaction is that the yield of the three acres of cotton planted is good, in addition to a few catties from each family in the village, there are more than 500 catties left, she beat 300 catties of them into cotton wool to make bedding and cotton clothes, and the rest are all sold, just because of these cotton, the two have surplus money in their hands.
"This should be enough money for you to study, right?" Gu Jin's eyes were full of light.
"I thought, since I want to study, I can just find a better private school." Shen Jingcheng asked her to put away the silver from selling cotton, and said: "A good private school may be more expensive, wait for next year, let's buy some farm tools first, and it will be easy to use when we hire people to work next year, and when the grain is harvested next year, I will inquire where the private school is better, and then it is not too late to make plans." ”
Gu Jin felt that what he said was quite reasonable, and happily quickly put away the silver.
Yes, reading must be better taught by a private school, just like in the previous life, when Song Lao Er stopped at childhood, didn't he also want to find a good private school to continue reading? It's a pity that Song Lao Er had already married another person at that time, and she didn't want to waste any more energy to make money for a so-called eldest brother, so Song Lao Er didn't make it.
"Then, when you buy farm tools, ask where there are fruit trees." Gu Jin was a little embarrassed and said, "I want to buy some fruit trees to plant at home." ”
Seeing her like this, Shen Jingcheng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, stared at her eyes seriously and shouted, "Ah Jin." ”
"Huh?" Gu Jin was a little apprehensive, couldn't he do it? Did he think it was useless? That, actually......
"If you want something, you can tell me directly, you can ask me to do what you want, don't be so careful, this is also your home, you can do whatever you want to make money." Shen Jingcheng slowly said to her word by word.
Her cautious appearance always made him feel that she didn't treat this place as her home, as if she could leave at any time, but this was her home, the home of the two of them, and she didn't need to be like this at all.
"Huh?" Gu Jin was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Then, don't you think I'm greedy?" Don't you think I'm always trying to buy things that don't work? ”
"No," Shen Jingcheng shook his head and said, "Our home, you can do whatever you want." ”
"So, can I ask for an apple tree?" Gu Jin asked tentatively.
"Yes." Shen Jingcheng nodded.
"Then I want the peach tree."
"Okay."
"Then I also want a honey locust tree, you don't know that every time I wash clothes with plant ash, I always feel as if I can't wash it clean, I remember that there were honey locust trees in the previous place, and the weather here is similar to there, so I should be able to grow live."
"Okay, I'll ask someone to find out."
"Then I'm going to ......"
The more Gu Jin talked, the more he said everything he could think of, Shen Jingcheng listened so carefully from beginning to end, and every time he heard her say something, he nodded, as if he could do anything.
After the autumn harvest, it gets cold very quickly, and it seems that it is only the blink of an eye that goes from autumn to winter.
In the cold wind, because of the new quilt and the burning of the kang in the house, Gu Jin didn't feel half cold, and even felt sweating in the house when the fire was burned.
In November, Lin Hu brought eight new immigrants, and Shen Jingcheng handed over the household registration information to Lin Hu, fearing that the new immigrants and the old immigrants would not deal with each other, so he directly pulled Lin Hu to divide the homestead of about one acre for each new and old immigrant household.
An eight-metre-wide east-west street is set aside in the middle of these homesteads, and then a six-metre-wide street is set aside in the middle of every two households. In addition, a large area of land has been divided around this area as a spare homestead, so that these people's children will be divided into families when they grow up, and these places are common land in the village, and no one can open up land here.
Lin Hu looked at the horizontal and vertical streets he had drawn, and then at the large spare homestead that had been divided, and the corners of his mouth twitched and twitched, and finally he could only record these places in the fish scale book.
No way, this kid looks like he really has something in his stomach, haven't I seen the mourning and complaining of other villages this autumn, is he the only one who has nothing to do here?
Thinking of the lieutenant who began to cry when he saw him in other villages, he was so satisfied with this worry-free boy. If one of them disagrees, the kid will turn around and refuse to accept the new immigrants, and if another one is unhappy and picks on him, the village will be the same as other villages.
Lin Hu ran away after solving this matter with Shen Jingcheng, for fear that he would find another problem for himself, and since then, Ten Mu Village has become twenty-three households, and Shen Jingcheng has also become the real chief in charge.
I can eat enough and dress warmly, the days of winter fly by, and in the blink of an eye, it is the New Year.
Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng did not celebrate the New Year in a daze this time like last year, but solemnly observed the New Year, changed into new clothes in the morning, sacrificed heaven and earth, and ate dumplings before congratulating each other for another year.
It was also the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, when the Wang family was born, listening to the loud cry of the child from the other end, Gu Jin's heart jumped unconsciously.
I just hope that everyone is okay.
Wang still lives in the nest of the ground, and she is delivered by a woman from the new immigrants in the village, the man's surname is Zhang, and acquaintances will call her Shunzi Niang or Zhang's sister-in-law, because she will deliver babies when she is in her hometown, and she will directly do her old job here.
"Congratulations to Mrs. Jia, she is a beautiful little girl." Shunzi Niang looked at the newborn girl with a wrinkled face full of smiles.
She is a person who will come to things, although the Wang family, the first lady, can't control their first one, but when she sees the Wang family, she still calls her a first lady.
Although Wang was called by her, he couldn't be happy when he heard that he was a daughter again, so he waved his hand and let her out, and by the way, he asked Gu Dani to quickly clean up the bloody smell of this nest all over the ground.
Although the Gu family has a good harvest this year, the weather is no longer suitable for building a house after the harvest.
Shunzi Niang saw that she let herself go without giving her money, and the smile on her face suddenly decreased, but she had never seen anyone in this line of work, so she turned around and walked out without saying anything. But I didn't want to run into Gu Changping who was waiting outside as soon as I went out.
After Gu Changping asked about the situation of Wang's mother and daughter, he immediately handed her two catties of grain.
"Sister-in-law Zhang works hard, there is no silver at home, only some food, sister-in-law, don't dislike it."
"Look at what Lord Jiashou said, I just came here and am short of food, you are sending charcoal in the snow, I can't be happy yet." Shunzi Niang smiled and hurriedly took the grain.
"My surname is Gu, you can just call me by my name in the future, you don't need to call Lord Jiashou." Gu Changping said a little awkwardly.
He himself listens awkwardly to being called like this these days, and he really doesn't like people calling him that, which makes him feel as if he has been ostracized by the villagers.
"Cheng, then Brother Gu, I'll go first, you're busy. You're busy. After Shunzi Niang finished speaking, she took the food and walked quickly, and the smile on her face faded when she turned around, and she sighed in her heart.
This surnamed Gu looks very good, but it's a pity that his daughter-in-law is a flattering person who likes to listen to people, and she has a high nose.
In the nest, Wang looked at Gu Dani, who was quickly cleaning up the floor, and he couldn't see anything pleasing to the eye.
I don't know what's going on, since she gave birth to this dead girl, she gave birth to a daughter, and another is still a daughter, until now this is the fourth daughter, is the next son washed away by this girl?
Gu Dani felt Wang's gaze on her, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe, so she quickly cleaned up, for fear that she would be pinched by Wang's if she was slow.
Gu Ling'er, who was just born, couldn't see anything with blurred eyes, felt a little hungry, and kicked her legs and whined low, wanting to attract people's attention and give herself something to eat.
As a result, she whimpered several times and didn't see anyone come to hug her, and suddenly burst into tears.
Are the people in this house dead? She heard movement next to her, why didn't she hug her and give her something to eat?
The Wang family, who was immersed in the circle of suspicion, was startled by this cry, and then heard Gu Changping ask outside: "What's wrong with the child?" ”
In fact, Gu Changping was not so taboo about his woman giving birth to a child, but when the Wang family gave birth to his first child, he seriously stated that he would not let him enter, and he has maintained this habit until now.
"It's okay, the kid might be hungry." Wang hurriedly replied and picked up Gu Ling'er in swaddling clothes, feeling bored for a while.
What do you cry about? Hold it into a girl's piece, and some will cry in the future.
Thinking like this, her movements were extremely rude, and she lifted her clothes and began to breastfeed Gu Ling'er.
Gu Ling'er only felt that something was stuffed in her mouth, and then she was blocked by a soft thing, and she hurriedly struggled to spit out the thing in her mouth, feeling a little frightened.
What is this for? Want to cover her?
