Chapter 13: Grab the candy and eat

"When we get to the place, we can live in peace, and everyone will insist on it."

"Grandpa, did we go to Linqi to buy land?"

"How can I have time to burn high incense now, I have already drawn a hill and bought it, I will arrange it two years in advance, and the daylily will be cold."

Wang waved his hand at his son and smiled proudly.

Li Rui looked at his mother in surprise.

"You didn't even tell me."

Flat-mouthed grievances, still hiding from me.

"Tell you what to do, if your mouth is not strict and leak again, it was also my father's intention at the time, make a two-handed plan, if you have nothing to do, you should add some industry to leave it to future generations, and it is really accurate if you don't think about it."

Wang shook his head and sighed, if it weren't for his daughter's repeated insistence on persuading them, he might not have left behind.

"I don't dare to believe it until the last moment, if you hadn't reminded me, I value your opinion, I'm afraid that the Gu family will be wiped out now."

Old Man Gu bowed his head slightly at Old Man Li, and his attitude was very grateful and respectful.

"We have been friends of life and death for many years, if you don't say such kind words, I don't know if they are safe on the road?"

Old man Li waved his hand and sighed, still very worried about his clansmen.

"The second child of my family is quite calm, taking care of the housework is the number one, everything that can be done has been done, and the rest depends on the will of God."

The Gu family also got a mention from the Li family, so they were able to arrange the back hand a year in advance, and at that time, they sent their second son to the Langya Wang clan to buy an industry and install people in the past on the grounds of letting the children study.

If nothing happens, it is a matter of buying more property, which is not a burden on the Hou Mansion at all, but I didn't expect it to become the only lifesaver in the end.

As he was talking, Gu Lin's aunt and nephew came back, Lin Yue finished washing the clothes, and their eyes were red, as if they had cried.

Aunt Gu greeted them, "Quick, sit down and eat, eat while it's hot." ”

The two of them sat down in silence to eat, cornmeal batter and multigrain steamed buns, yesterday's stew and small pickles.

After eating, in the afternoon, Wang stretched out his head and looked out of the forest, worried about his husband and daughter.

It was almost sunset, and seeing a few people coming back from a distance, Wang smiled and breathed a long sigh of relief, and when he turned around, his voice was cheerful, "Dad, Xianggong is back." ”

"Hmm."

Old man Li responded briskly.

"Dad, Uncle Gu, I'm back, and I delayed shopping for a while."

When Boss Li came back, he greeted the elders first.

"How's it going in town?"

"It's not good, I'm thinking we'll rest here for two days."

"Yes, you can tell me more about it."

Old man Li beckoned to his son and went to discuss with Old Man Gu.

Wang stretched out his hand to take his daughter's back basket, but Li Yu staggered his body to dodge, "You can't hold it." ”

"Auntie, we bought something new."

Brother Xin and Xu Yang happily held the sugar gourd and handed it to Brother Xu.

"What did you buy?"

"I saw that the third aunt was very troublesome to cook, and I saw this tea-burning stove sold in the market, copper, strong, and able to cook and make tea, which is not very convenient, so I bought one."

"I'll take a look, it's very convenient, it's a bit heavy, and I can sit on the pot with firewood, which saves me a lot of things."

Aunt Gu was very happy when she looked at her things.

This is a copper-cast tea stove, divided into upper and lower parts, below is a three-legged potbelly stove, and there is a mouth with a horizontal plate in front to adjust the tuyere and fire.

The open mouth has two wings, and the middle fire mouth sits on the tea stove to boil water, and the two wings will be hot after the fire, and you can bake a cake, and it is good to put it in the carriage or in the house to warm up and make tea.

The potbelly copper pot with a small circle on the top is used to warm wine, and warm water is good at night.

Gu Lei came to Li Yu's side, unloaded her things, and diligently handed her a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.

"Is it okay to go to the city, wait for you one day, my heart is frizzy."

"It's going well, Brother Xin and Xu Yang are clever, and they went to find out the news for me."

Li Yu wiped her sweat and smiled.

Gu Lei brought tea and handed it to her, "Drink some water, I see that you are tired and sweaty, have you eaten at noon?" ”

Hush cold and warm, very patient, a pair of good-looking peach blossoms with a gentle light in their eyes.

"I ate, the steamed buns and pickles I ate at noon, I was full. The price of grain has risen again, and the rice mixed with sand is more expensive than in the town. ”

"Is the city tightly guarded?"

"It's very strict, Brother Xin and I went to investigate, saying that the neighborhood is not peaceful, there was friction in the east outside the city half a month ago, a few people died, the city gate was closed for two days before it was opened, and now martial law."

Li Yu took a sip of water, took out a bag of things from the building and handed it to the third aunt.

"Third aunt, it's for you."

"Something."

Aunt Gu took it and saw that it was a pastry, and she was a little stunned.

"Mother, my sister bought it for you, tomorrow is your birthday, and my sister bought you a few pastries sweet mouth."

"And there's more."

Li Yu took out a roll of muslin, "Auntie, I don't have anything else good to give you, I bought some muslin, you keep it as a lining, wear it comfortably, don't dislike me for being polite." ”

Aunt Gu pursed her lips with the pastry, her eyes flashed with crystal color, and her chest was full of emotion and warmth.

"You kid, what are you doing with such expensive pastries, wasting money, what kind of birthday will you have."

This child is careful, knows that it hurts people, and others have all the good in mind.

"Third aunt, you cooked for us all the way, the hardest, I happened to see it, I bought more if there is a suitable one."

"My sister is so good, go to the casino to win money......"

Brother Xin said excitedly that he was pouting.

Li Yu was so frightened that he hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, and glanced at the old lady, it was over, and he was going to be scolded.

"Little Ancestor, didn't I tell you that this is a secret, you want to punish me."

Li Yu muttered in Brother Xin's ear with a bitter gourd on his face.

Wang glanced at her and snorted coldly: "Li Yu, you are bold, dare to go to the casino to win money, take it out." ”

His eyes widened, and he reached out to ask for it.

"Not much."

"How much is it?"

"A few dozen taels, there will be trouble if there are more."

Li Yu reluctantly pouted and gave all the money to the old lady.

Wang opened his purse and counted it, but it was indeed not much.

"Confiscation."

"Leave some of it."

Li Yu held his hands pitifully and begged for mercy.

"Leave a fart for you, it's not bad if I didn't beat you, I know that you two won't do good things when they go out."

Wang glared at his daughter menacingly, and didn't train again, the world is in chaos, it costs money to eat, drink, and spend, and her daughter will not go to the gambling house if she has other ways.

To put it bluntly, it's useless to be a father and mother, let the children worry about them.

Brother Xin looked at Li Yu guiltily, "Sister, I'm sorry." ”

"Forget it, don't go to the gambling house, it's too troublesome, next time you will find another way to make money."

Li Yu waved his hand aggressively, not caring at all.

Gu Lei picked up the bamboo basket, saw that there was nothing, and pouted unhappily, "Why don't you have mine." ”

Pursing his lips and glancing at her, there was a hint of anger in Peach Blossom's eyes, like a child begging for a gift.

"You don't have a birthday, you also want to eat pastries, Brother Xin will share your brother's share."

"Big brother, you are such an adult and still grab candy with us children."

Brother Xin looked heartbroken and handed his sugar gourd to his brother.

"You can eat one, no more."

"Stingy."

Gu Lei didn't like to eat sugar gourds, but seeing his younger brother's stinginess, he was energetic again, and bit him a hawthorn to eat.

Li Yu took out a small pot of wine from his father's bamboo basket and handed it to him, "It's for you." ”

"I said I can't live without mine, well, the best pear blossom white, Brother Rui, let's have a few drinks tonight."

Gu Lei raised the wine jug in his hand, happy like a child who has got candy.

"Okay."

Li Rui also smiled and nodded.

Lin Yue saw Gu Lei standing beside Li Yu, smiling, his face was full of gentleness, and he pursed his mouth aggrievedly, you have never smiled like this in front of me, let alone so gentle and patient.

Cousin, I mean the most for you.
