Chapter 14: The Way to Fortune

"Second sister, you have to study hard, how about I order a handkerchief when the time comes?" Qin Sihua approached and said with a scowl on his face.

"Good! I'll do whatever you want, but I'll learn it. Qin Siqin pinched her nose, and the sisters laughed in unison.

Speaking of learning, Miao embroidery found out the needle and thread and began to teach, there is nothing at home, but the basic thread and stitching are still OK. One is willing to teach, the other is willing to learn.

Seeing that the second sister was serious about learning, Qin Sihua was also happy. Calculate the time, soon the eldest brother and the second sister will say that there will be matchmaking, judging from the experience of the previous life, the choice of the eldest brother and the second sister in the previous life was not good.

She has to do something to change this, if she can change the situation, the choice she makes will not be so hasty, and there is also the matter of her and Gu Shouzheng, and I don't know what Gu Shouzheng has to do in order to tell the two of them.

"Ahh Gu Shouzheng sneezed, he tightened the collar of his clothes, the wind on the mountain was relatively hard, he had to hurry.

He quickly cut down the tree in the photo, this is a kind of hardwood, the growth cycle is relatively long, cut back and have to dry in the shade for a while, dragged home, looked up at the weather and couldn't help but speed up the pace.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was raining in the sky, he quickened his pace, the wood had just come down, and it was a rainy day, it was estimated that he would not be able to do it in a month and a half.

As soon as the door of the Gu family rang, Gu Duanzheng came out of the house, and the brothers worked together to put the tree in the shade, and then returned to the house.

The Gu family is a rare solid family in the village, the Gu family ancestors have a heritage, they donated all their family property during the war years, the old man of the Gu family lived in the village, he and his brothers and sisters all lived in the imperial capital, and there were fewer people who usually came and went.

Gu Shouzheng's father, Gu Renmei, is a worker in the coal mine in the next county, an eighth-level fitter, who can earn 126 yuan per month, which is a high salary in this era, and the difference between him and the cadres at the department level of the main regiment is only 1 yuan, which is more than enough to feed the family, and even more nourishing.

So in addition to the two sons going to work, Gu's mother usually does the lightest work when she goes to work, and it would be good to have two or three jobs, if she can not go to work, she will rest at home.

"Shouzheng is back? Come and eat, your mother made fried noodles today, Zhong Yan quickly get chopsticks for your brother! Gu Renmei hurriedly beckoned her eldest son to dinner.

"Dad! When did you come back? Gu Shouzheng dusted off the soil on his body, and before he entered the house, he thought about going to change his clothes first.

"This afternoon, I went to the commune to cut some meat, and luckily there was some pork belly!" Gu Renmei walked out as she spoke, and when she saw the patch on her eldest son's sleeve, he frowned.

Gu Shouzheng saw his father's eyes, he didn't explain, since he came back, some things should also change, if Sihua entered the door in the future, he couldn't let her suffer a little grievance.

Gu Renmei nodded and didn't say much, but he had already taken it to heart, turned around and entered the hall. Gu Shouzheng cleaned up himself and went to the hall, and Gu's mother Liu Shuzhen cleaned up the kitchen and ate together.

"Shouzheng, since you gave up the matter of being a soldier to Shu Yan, what do you want to do in the future? It's not good to stay at home all the time, and it's not a long-term solution to dig in the field for a lifetime. And Zhong Yan is the same. ”

Gu Renmei talked about the future of her two sons while eating, and when she heard this, Liu Shuzhen's lips moved, but she didn't say it after all.

Gu Shouzheng glanced at Gu Duanzheng, what the two of them did was not suitable for talking about now, after all, the older generation of people was still conservative in their thinking.

"Dad, what do you suggest?" Gu Shouzheng stretched out his hand to Gu Renmei to replace the tea with white water, Gu Renmei has the habit of drinking tea when she eats, and her stomach is not good in her previous life, which is also a reason.

"Do you remember your Uncle Wang? He was in the county furniture factory, and I met him today, saying that the factory was going to accept a group of apprentices, and I thought that you were used to fiddling with that thing, maybe you would be willing to go. ”

Gu Shouzheng smiled, his father was here to test him, he didn't speak, just laughed.

"Dad, if you think it's suitable, I'll go, there's nothing wrong with it."

Gu Shouzheng turned around and commanded an army, he knew the future historical trend, the college entrance examination was about to be released, he couldn't miss this opportunity, this time the black market job was also to make some money to tie the knot first, and leave some money to ensure their lives.

"Then you think about it and then tell me, your Uncle Wang can do it at any time."

Gu Renmei looked at him deeply, and didn't speak again, among his three sons, only the eldest was the one who could do things.

Before he gave up the opportunity to be a soldier to the third child, before he thought it was brotherhood, but now it seems that it is estimated that there is something at home that he has ignored, remembering the patch on his sleeve, he glanced at Liu Shuzhen who was eating, and felt a little unhappy.

After eating, they went back to the house, Gu Shou was fiddling with tools in the house, Gu Duanzheng opened the door and came in, he usually didn't have anything to say, he came to have something.

"Big brother, I'm in a hurry over there, ask if you can meet."

"When will we meet?" Gu Shouzheng raised his head from the pile of knives and glanced at the second brother.

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"Sit down, do you have any intention of the furniture factory that Dad said?"

Gu Shouzheng knew that since he was a child, he and his second brother followed behind his grandfather, and in terms of craftsmanship, the second brother's craftsmanship was not bad.

The second brother doesn't talk much, he is a person who knows it in his heart, whether it is his father or his mother, they ignore that their son has a calmness beyond ordinary people, and he also has the wisdom of his grandfather.

"I don't want to go, I'm with you." Gu Duanzheng picked up a carving knife in his hand and kept playing with it, he would do it too, but it just didn't look as good as the eldest brother's carving.

"Cheng, you ask the dog to pass a message, let him ask that person to ask that person at the door of the supply and marketing cooperatives early the day after tomorrow, I will talk to him, and tomorrow we will go up the mountain to get a few more logs."

Gu Duanzheng nodded and went out, it's not too late, it's enough time to pass on a word.

Gu Shouzheng shook his head, the second brother has always been like this, since this is the case, his plan is about to change, and he can't live up to the trust of the second brother, so after thinking about it, he went to the hall.

In the hall, Gu Renmei had already finished washing, was reading a book on the kang, lit a small oil lamp, heard a knock on the door, and said 'enter', but in fact, his mind was not in the book.

"Dad, I'll talk to you about something." Gu Shouzheng poured Gu Renmei a glass of water and handed it to his hand, he promised to think about painting him to find a way, but Uncle Qin still had to say it to his father.

"Hmm, what's the matter?" Gu Renmei thought that her son was here to confess, and she was still holding strength in her heart.

"Dad, I want to get married."

"What? What do you say? Gu Renmei put down the book and leaned over, almost falling from the kang.
