There were no clouds in the sky, and the moonlight shone on the land.

After harvesting the mushrooms, after dinner, Gu Qing changed into a clean muslin shirt and walked towards the Gu family's old house.

The most common and cheapest kind of homespun cloth in the countryside is a little rubbing against the skin on the body, and it is slightly comfortable, and Gu Qing is not used to wearing it.

While it was dark, no one saw two batches of muslin bought from the mall and held them in their arms.

It's still early, the weather is hot, and the crops are enjoying the coolness.

Old Man Gu sat at the door and cut down trees, and a large cedar tree was cut into columns more than half a meter long by him.

Gu Youjin and Gu Youyin were weaving straw mats, the brothers cooperated very quickly, and the Song family and the Sun family were also busy with various things.

Old Lady Gu sat in the yard and wrapped haywood.

The old man took the time to raise his head and said: "Qing'er has more than 30 chickens and hundreds of ducks over there, drive the ducks out in the morning, and feed the wild vegetables and weeds in the half-back basket at noon, who has time to help with this job?" ”

Gu Tao is the eldest granddaughter of the old mansion, this kind of work has always been done by her, and she was about to open her mouth to respond, but she was pulled by the Sun family.

Sun sneered in his heart, the eldest niece earned so many copper plates, and she didn't give them any shares, and she even wanted them to help dig wild vegetables for chickens and ducks, what kind of dream did she do.

The old lady's heart is biased to the armpits, and the eldest niece and the whole family have been separated, and she still wants to let the old mansion help with the work, why?

"Grandma, I'll go help my eldest sister." Gu Meng took the initiative to speak, "Is it enough to feed the chickens and ducks, what else do you have to do?" ”

"Busy?"

As soon as Gu Qing walked in, everyone in the courtyard looked up at her.

Sun's eyes flashed, and when he was older, he actually put on new clothes, and the color of water pink was white, and it seemed that the eldest niece's originally good-looking face was now a little more handsome.

She felt sour in her heart, and her mouth also brought out a bit of sourness: "The eldest niece is making a lot of money, and she is not a festival, but she has put on new clothes, which is so enviable." ”

When Song heard this, he was also a little envious in his heart.

She can only get a new dress during the Chinese New Year, but last year's harvest was not very good, the taxes were heavy, and after a bitter year, the whole family did not make new clothes.

Gu Qing smiled.

She has money in her hands, is it possible that she still wears tattered clothes every day?

The purpose of making money is to make a good life for yourself, not to be afraid of this, that, dare not eat or wear.

"The second aunt said with a smile, if I make a lot of money, I should go and buy silk and satin, who is rich and wears cloth clothes?" Gu Qing said lightly, "The homespun cloth costs two pennies and one foot, and if the second aunt wants to wear new clothes, she can't afford to wear them." ”

Sun was a little annoyed, she had indeed secretly saved more than 100 copper plates over the years, but asking her to take ten cents to buy cloth to make clothes was like cutting a piece of meat on her body, how could she be reluctant.

Mrs. Gu said angrily: "Second daughter-in-law, there is still a basin of clothes at the back of the house, you go wash it." ”

Sun shook his hand and went to the back room.

Gu Qing put the two batches of muslin in his arms on the table, and the old lady looked at Gu Qing, "This is not a festival, why did you buy two batches of cloth?" ”

Gu Qing said with a smile, "I still have to share the New Year and the festival with my grandmother?" ”

At night, the light was dim, and the old lady couldn't see clearly, but her face immediately changed when she touched her hand: "You loser, how much money do you dare to buy muslin?" Hurry up and return it, with this money, isn't it good for you to buy two more old hens to make up for your body? I have your two uncles and you raising you, so you don't need to worry about it! ”

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Grandma, it's the uncles' business to raise you, I honor you and that's my business, besides, I still have something to ask you to help with, you don't accept it, why am I embarrassed to speak." ”

Gu Youyin immediately got up: "Big niece, what do you have to do, give me an order, and I will do it immediately." ”

Gu Youjin also said: "It's all a family, what's polite." ”

Gu Qing sighed: "The family has been too busy recently, so I thought about teaching the two uncles to help me keep an account and collect the mushrooms in the village." ”

Gu Youjin and Gu Youyin put down the work in their hands and prepared to go together.

Sun, who was washing clothes in the back room, heard Gu Qing's words, and couldn't wait to rush to the front yard to stop her man, she was not available, so she didn't have to worry about a bunch of things at home? As far as the time of her rich people is time, the time of their poor family is not time?

But in the end, he didn't dare to continue to provoke the old lady, so Sun Shengsheng endured this breath.

Gu Qing was still talking: "Meng'er, you Ming'er will dig some wild vegetables for the chickens and ducks of the eldest sister's house and feed them." ”

As soon as Gu Meng heard that she was the same as what Grandma said, she immediately smiled: "I listen to the eldest sister." ”

Before he turned around, he was stopped by Old Man Gu: "Qing'er, come over and take a look, can the bath bucket be made so high?" ”

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw the old man upside down a tree, she couldn't understand what he was doing, so naturally she wouldn't ask more.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be making a bathtub, and asked her opinion, that is, the bathtub made for her, it was really inconvenient for her to use a bathtub for bathing every day, and she was planning to buy a bathtub to come back......

For a moment, her mood was a little complicated.

After she came over, she showed favor to the second elder of the Gu family, because she wanted to deal with the clan relationship, and it would also be beneficial for her to build a house and buy land in the future, and she felt that the original owner was ashamed of the second elder and wanted to help the original owner make up for it.

But she never thought she would get anything in return.

The smile on Gu Qing's face was a little more sincere: "Grandpa, this height is very good, and I will pay Grandpa at that time." ”

Old Man Gu knocked on the dry tobacco: "After this wooden barrel is ready, you take it to the town, spend some money to find a carpenter master to brush a layer of oil, it can be used for more than ten years, this is our old Gu family's things, what do you want your salary for?" ”

Gu Qing was powerless to refute this logic.

She accepted Old Man Gu's kindness with a smile, thanked her sincerely, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she looked at the two muslin pieces she brought.

Sun, who was washing clothes in the back, almost rubbed his clothes, and the old lady was eccentric, but the old man was so eccentric.

A few days ago, I stewed an old hen and sent it over, and I didn't even drink the soup, so I even had to make a bath bucket and send it over.

Sun was about to be angry, she shook her hand, jumped over from the backyard, held back her anger and said: "Mother, the water in the water tank is about to bottom out, who will carry the water after there is gold and silver to collect mushrooms?" ”

This means that Gu Youjin and Gu Youyin are not allowed to help.

Old Lady Gu glanced at her and scolded: "I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to point fingers in this family, no one picks up water, my wife picks it!" ”

Gu Qing saw this posture and hurriedly persuaded: "Grandma, the second aunt is unwilling, so the second uncle will stay at home." It's just that it's going to be hard for the third uncle and the others. ”

Gu Youyin didn't care: "Your idea of harvesting mushrooms is nothing compared to doing crop work." ”

Gu Youjin paused and asked, "How do I get paid for going here?" ”

Gu Youyin was stunned, didn't they come to help, why did they still talk about the salary, he bumped Gu Youjin with his elbow.

Gu Qing saw this scene in his eyes.

She smiled and said: "We are all a family, I don't say those polite words, harvest mushrooms once a day in the evening, the quality is good, no matter how many people come, I give one or two silver a day's wages, peaches dig wild vegetables to feed chickens and ducks ten cents a day." ”

Gu Youyin and Gu Youjin were in disbelief on their faces, and they would give one or two pieces of silver when they harvested mushrooms a day!

Peaches also can't believe it, this simple time of digging wild vegetables and putting ducks actually gives ten cents, is her eldest sister crazy?

Gu Qing continued, "But I have a premise, that is, to control the quality of mushrooms well, and when collecting mushrooms, it is best for all the people here in the old mansion to go, so that the speed is fast and it will not delay you anything!" The mushrooms will also be neatly placed for me, and I will check them when I come back in the evening. ”

Gu Youyin immediately said: "Don't worry, this matter will definitely be done for you." ”

Gu Youjin nodded like pounding garlic: "Big niece, you don't have to worry about me doing things!" ”

Mrs. Gu hurriedly stopped: "You have given too much salary, at most two taels of silver are enough!" ”

"Grandma!" Gu Qing smiled: "It's not much, I have to trouble you in the future!" ”

After the matter was negotiated, Gu Qing went back, and she had to get up early when the store opened tomorrow.
