Chapter 17 Future Planning
"How can that work!"
Old man Shao said righteously, "You children's families, life is not easy, no matter how I say it, you are dozens of years older, and you are considered elders, since you are elders, how can you take advantage of your hairy children?" ”
"If you want to sell this rabbit, I'll buy it with money!"
Old man Shao immediately took out his purse.
"I often go to the market to sell prey, a rabbit can be sold for fifty or sixty yuan, oh, this is sixty yuan, Gu girl, you count!"
Gu Lan was holding most of the string copper coins, and she only felt hot.
"Grandpa Shao, this is not good......"
"What's so bad? If you don't want it, then I don't want this rabbit either! ”
"That's it, Grandpa Shao, I thank you for your kindness, it just so happens that I plan to take the rabbit to the market tomorrow to sell, and it will be the same to sell it to anyone."
Gu Lan no longer twisted, Ma Li went into the house and brought out the bundled rabbit, skewered three more fish, and handed them to Old Man Shao together.
"This is the fish I caught, it's still alive, and it's delicious to go back and cook the soup and steam it."
Old man Shao touched his beard, no longer refused, took the things from her hands, and left the Gu family.
The rabbit is gone, but there is money!
The crooked fight was right, facing the result that Gu Lan wanted.
She's so lucky!
Zhu'er and Liang'er piled up the money on the bed, and the two of them combined couldn't count ten. After counting for a long time, Zhu'er's little face turned red.
Only then did he hold back a sentence: "That's a lot of money!" ”
Gu Lan laughed out loud.
The index finger pointed at his skull, "Little fool." ”
I also thought in my heart that when she made more money, she must send her two children to study.
Otherwise, you will be illiterate for the rest of your life.
After the sisters and brothers ate, Gu Lan rested for a while, and then began to work in the yard.
First they used an iron hoe to shovel a line around the house, and then this was their yard.
With only one house and no courtyard gate, it is really insecure.
However, with their current strength, it is really impossible to build a courtyard wall.
You can only plan first and talk about it later.
The courtyard line was drawn, and Gu Lan pointed out in a few places in the courtyard.
"In the future, this will be a livestock shed, raise some chickens, ducks, piglets, and a few dogs to help us take care of the house."
Otherwise, there is really no sense of security! Beware of wild beasts, and beware of human hearts.
"This is a firewood room, this is a storeroom, and if you can't eat enough food, you can stock up and keep it to eat slowly!"
"From the kitchen to the house, let's also build a corridor, just like Grandpa Shao's house, the corridor is full of meat!"
Gu Lan's words made a beautiful picture appear in front of the eyes of several children, they looked forward to such a future, no need to be afraid, no need to starve, how good it would be!
"But ......"
Gu Lan's words changed, "If we want to live such a life, we must work together and work together, do you have confidence?" ”
Zhu'er's eyes were starry: "I have!" ”
Liang Er also jumped forward and raised his hand: "I have it too!" I'll try! ”
Zhu'er also babbled: "Masturbation! ”
Gu Lan laughed, picked up Zhu'er and kissed her a few bites.
With such younger brothers and sisters, she is not afraid of any difficulties!
After planning the location of the stove, Gu Lan was not idle, bringing the only basket in the family, bringing an iron hoe, and the whole family went out to dig yellow mud together.
There is a yellow mud hill in the village, the people in the village usually come here to dig the soil to build houses, and there are also people digging at this time, after the autumn harvest, the people in the village are also a lot more idle, just take this opportunity to repair the leaky houses.
Gu Lan didn't want to do much, so she took her younger brothers and sisters to find a place with few people, she dug up the soil loosely, and the two younger brothers filled the soil into the back basket, and when the back basket was filled, they went back.
The three of them worked together for an afternoon, carrying back five baskets of soil and piling them up in the open space at the door.
The straw sandals were overwhelmed, and the toes that were already exposed were opened even wider, and the siblings looked at each other and smiled like they showed their teeth.
Fortunately, it is not difficult to make straw shoes, Gu Lan can't, but the original owner will, and he went to collect the grass to make straw shoes.
Not in a hurry to make shoes, Gu Lan took advantage of the fact that the sun had not completely set and began to cook and eat.
After the meal, he went to two cassava-soaked streams to catch fish, and harvested four more fish.
I ate four in one day, gave three to Old Man Shao, and there were five fish at home, and I don't know how much I could sell them for in the market tomorrow.
At night, Gu Lan sat on the threshold, Zhu'er and Liang'er helped her knot the grass used in straw shoes, while listening to her story, Gu Lan finished making the new shoes needed by the family in the faint moonlight.
After all the work was done, the moment she lay on the bed, Gu Lan only felt that her backache had finally been relieved, and she really wanted to lie down and rest all the time.
But in the previous life, there is no going back.
Now, she looks at her younger brothers and sisters sleeping on both sides, and her heart is infinitely tender, and her relatives here are also something she can't let go.
Since you can't throw it away, you can only try to improve the situation.
Gu Lan silently cheered herself up in her heart, and soon fell asleep.
"Sister, it's time to get up!"
Early in the morning, Zhu'er woke up Gu Lan, knowing that she was tired and tired yesterday, so Zhu'er quietly got up early to cook millet porridge.
Gu Lan sat up in a daze and patted her cheek, "Okay." ”
Seeing that her younger brother had already cooked breakfast, Gu Lan only smiled and touched Zhu'er's head: "Zhu'er is so good." ”
Zhu'er was a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly scooped a bowl of porridge for her, and tried to scoop all the thick ones into her bowl.
"Sister, you're going to the market today, you eat more."
Gu Lan stopped him, "Don't give it all to me, I want to drink some rice soup." ”
Using wicker to clean her teeth, Gu Lan went to the creek behind to look for fish.
But there was none.
Zhu'er explained: "Liang'er doesn't know how to cook, he went to collect fish. ”
Sure enough, after a while, the skinny Liang Er came back with a bamboo basket on his back, and there were five fish in it, plus the five at home, they now have ten fish.
Gu Lan was a little embarrassed, because she was still thinking about taking care of her younger brothers and sisters yesterday, but she didn't expect to sleep today and be served by others.
After breakfast, Zhu'er woke up slowly, Liang'er stopped eating very skillfully, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, went into the house to take out Zhu'er, who was still in a daze, and peed on her.
Then put on straw sandals for her and take her to the back to wash her face and brush her teeth.
Skilled doesn't look like a six-year-old.
Gu Lan saw it in her eyes and pursed her lips, sure enough, the children of the poor were in charge of the family early, although the two younger brothers were still young, they could really help her a lot.
It is impossible for a family to be supported by one person alone.
Gu Lan was very pleased, and after breakfast, she didn't delay any longer, covered the fish with weeds, and went to the south of the village to gather with the villagers.
told Zhu'er to take good care of her younger siblings and not to go out, so Gu Lan was reluctant to leave.
I just hope that today goes well and there are no surprises.
