Gu Lei couldn't help laughing, sure enough, they were husband and wife, and they thought of going together.

"I have a few candidates in mind but I haven't made a final decision, I think the fifteenth and eighteenth uncles can do it, and it is okay to choose two more brothers."

"In this way, you go and ask the eighth uncle and the thirteenth uncle, they must know their brothers better than you, maybe they have different opinions."

Li Yu smiled and gave advice.

"Okay, I'll go now."

"You brought the ink strips and paper to the child, and got a bright piece of cloth to make clothes for the girl, but the color is too tender for me to wear."

Li Yu took out the goose-yellow fabric and wrapped it in a furoshi, and asked Lin Shu to hold the things and send them.

"I won't come back to eat at night, eat with my uncles, and you eat by yourself."

"Go ahead, I'll eat some myself."

Li Yu had to settle accounts after eating.

Gu Lei took the things and went to find the eighth uncle and the thirteenth uncle to have a meal.

"Eighth uncle, thirteenth uncle, I took meat and wine to rub the rice."

"You have nothing to do, there must be something."

Uncle Eight pointed at him with his hand, and he smiled and let people into the house.

"Hehe, my uncle still understands me, I do have something to say, but it's a good thing."

"it, Leizi is here, add a dish."

"Here, Leizi, what do you want to eat, I'll let the kitchen cook it for you, the river shrimp is very fresh today, make a shrimp."

Aunt Thirteen greeted with a smile.

"Listen to my aunt, what do you do, I eat, Yu'er asked me to bring it to the children, and this one is for the two children of the eighth uncle's family."

"Yu'er has been thinking about us all day long, and when you are not idle all day long, Leizi, you have to hurt your daughter-in-law."

"Don't worry, auntie, I love my daughter-in-law."

Gu Lei blinked and smiled and spoke.

"Anyway, you are not allowed to bully Yu'er, otherwise my aunt will not be the first to spare you, I will go and get dinner and you will talk."

The thirteenth aunt asked the wine to be scalded for the masters, and went down to help the kitchen with the dishes.

"Uncle, I got three good places, I'm thinking about who to give it to, who is suitable for you to give it to the fifteenth uncle and the eighteenth uncle, and there are two brothers who can also be considered."

After listening to this, Uncle Thirteen thought carefully before saying: "The idea in my heart is this, let your two uncles go, just choose a kid, the reason is very simple, the uncles have no future, the boys can wait, the uncles can't afford to wait." ”

"That's what I mean, it's not that I'm partial to my brother, it's that we want to support our family at our age and want to make a contribution, so we won't be in a hurry a few years later."

"It's okay, I'll listen to my uncles, so who is the last spot for?"

"To the kid of the old nine family, he has a good brain, a sweet mouth, and a good hand at interpersonal communication, your two uncles are reliable and practical people, and their mouths are not bright, Brother Hao will come to communicate and can make up for this shortcoming."

"Cheng, that's it, then I'll go and inform Brother Hao tomorrow, and the uncles will help me talk to the fifteenth and eighteenth uncles."

"Yes."

The three uncles and nephews drank wine and ate meat together, chatting until dark.

In fact, he thought of the second uncle for the first time at this opportunity, but the second uncle shook his head and refused.

"Brother Lei, uncle, you can still think about me regardless of your past suspicions and give me a future, but I don't want it anymore, I'm not suitable to be an official."

"I used to blame my father for suppressing me and not letting me be promoted, but after a great tribulation, I realized that my character is not suitable for the court."

"Brother Ping Wan'er is gradually growing up, Brother Ping has a future, I am satisfied, I only ask you to take care of Wan'er in the future, I have nothing else, I like to do business and do general affairs, I can also achieve something happy and satisfied with this."

Second Uncle Gu has gone through a lot of hardships and pains, his brother who is like a brother and sister is gone, the family business in the capital is gone, the relationship between husband and wife is broken, and it doesn't matter whether he is an official or not.

There are times in life that must be there, and there is no time in life when there is no need to force it, he has experienced so many things, and he finally understands this truth.

It's good to do things for the family now, to get a little face and opportunities for your children, and to be able to do what you are good at.

It's just that I often think of the two brothers in my spare time, and the scene of drinking and chatting together in the past lingers in my heart, and now there is only loneliness left.

Gu Lei saw the deep pain in his second uncle's heart, and now his only hope is pinned on Brother Ping, seeing that Brother Ping is now more and more brilliant and resolute, more and more like a gentleman, he is very relieved, and he has nothing to ask for.

Since the second uncle had already made up his mind, he couldn't be reluctant, so he gave the opportunity to the other uncles.

The three places have been determined, and Uncle Thirteen specially mentioned it at the clan meeting.

"Brother Lei came to ask for our opinion on being an uncle, I put it forward, give the opportunity to fifteen and eighteen first, they are more stable, practical and experienced, the opportunity is not easy to come by, and if you get it in your hand, you have to hold it tightly and can't fall."

"Brother Hao's people are clever, the three of them cooperate with each other, don't make trouble for the Gu family, otherwise don't blame me for pumping you, this opportunity is obtained by Brother Lei bending down and begging for someone, there is no pie in the sky, don't blame others for not thinking about you if you don't cherish it."

"Whoa."

With once, twice, three times, and a steady stream of support and future, the clan slowly returned to Gu Lei, no longer deliberately made things difficult for him, and began to listen to the call, and had a sense of unity.

"When the time of a month came, I was given a lot of money to make up, and the account book was reconciled, a total of more than 5,000 taels of silver, and four houses were raided, and a lot of gold and silver were recorded. The money is charged to the public account, first build a workshop, and start it, so that more people can have work and food, live and work in peace and contentment, and then move on to the next step. ”

"Those who steal money, the clansmen and stewards are punished, people have already gone to the Northeast Grange, and they are not allowed to come back for ten years, and it is not this punishment for others to commit it again, it is more ruthless than this, remember the newly changed clan rules." A stroke should be recorded in the merit book, on the reward of meritorious deeds, and on the punishment of crimes. ”

"Next month's medicinal bath and medicinal soup, these families with merit will use it first, and the other families will be in the back, the reason I just said, on meritorious deeds, when Lao Tzu is not a man, the son will repay the debt, and the father and son should repay the debt, and the cheap is not so easy to occupy."

Uncle Thirteen sneered, who told you that you can take advantage of others unscrupulously.

The clansmen bowed their heads to listen to the training, and no one dared to resist, and they were convinced.

After saying this, Gu Lei spoke, "Other families don't have to find opportunities, don't worry, give me a little more time, you are all in my heart, but I need to find a chance to arrange, there are many children in the gate valve family, and others are also asking for opportunities, and it is not the only one in our family." ”

"If I have the opportunity, I will definitely limit the promotion of capable children, and if there is no future for the time being, work for the clan first, according to what Uncle Thirteen said, on meritorious deeds, every pen is recorded, and the future recommendation will also be in accordance with this, which is the fairest."

"Who to recommend first, who not to recommend, I have to have a fair way, I can't take it for granted, then it is most appropriate to reward meritorious deeds. How much you contribute to the clan, how much you contribute, every pen is in the book, take it out and compare, let's not talk about grievances, the Gu family belongs to all of us, not to me alone. ”

"Whoa."

This method is good, everyone recognizes it, and it is more fair after all, and there are traces of rewards and punishments.
