Chapter 3: Gu Jing
"I also agreed to your request, what else do you want to do?" Old Man Gu looked at Gu Jiu standing in place with his hand stretched out, and asked with a straight face.
"Money, my father's silver tael." Gu Jiu stretched out his hand and stretched out it as a matter of course, obediently, if you don't have money, you will starve to death!
Old Man Gu looked at the group of people outside, and thought about his eldest grandson again, but he was finally afraid that it would affect Gu Zhiqi's reputation, so he nodded and agreed: "Let your grandmother bring it to you later." ”
After speaking, Old Man Gu kept walking outside for a moment, anxious to let the people watching the trouble outside leave quickly.
Gu Jiu was frantically shouting about the system.
"Lord System, you can't just issue orders, do you? Can't you see that my body is still bleeding? I'm dying, won't you come for treatment? ”
Gu Jiu shouted in his heart for a long time without any movement, just about to come to some civilized language, he only felt a warmth all over his body, and in the next second, Gu Jiu noticed that the energy of this body had recovered as before, and the wound on his head was also scarred.
It's amazing!
Gu Jiu moved his body and went out to meet the few people who came back.
"Go and get her a tael of silver." Old Man Gu said angrily with a straight face.
Old Lady Gu was stunned, silver? To whom? A money-losing car? But after looking at Old Man Gu's face, Old Lady Gu still gave Dafang Wang a look and asked her to get the money.
"From today onwards, the three rooms and we will go our separate ways. Third daughter-in-law, after all, Qi'er wants to study, and the land in the west of the village will belong to you. ”
After listening to Old Man Gu's words, the second room immediately widened his eyes: "Dad, why?" The third room is gone, who will work? Then the potato is still Zheqi's scholar, can we really spend money to go out and find another one for Zheqi? ”
"That's right, Dad, aren't you confused? My eldest brother is busy taking care of the relationship with Zhe Qi day by day, and my sister-in-law has to take care of Zhe Qi. Gu Youcai complained with a bitter face.
Gu Jiu sneered: "It turns out that the second uncle is so useless, without my mother, a woman can't plant land." ”
Hearing Gu Jiu's words, Gu Youcai immediately lost his temper: "Be careful if you open your mouth, I'll beat you!" ”
Zhao Xiu'er in the second room has the support of her own man, and she looks at Gu Jiu with more confidence: "Xiao Jiu, you don't want to split up, right?" The second aunt can tell you that the separation of the family is to go to prison! You ......"
"Shut up! What a home! If anyone dares to chew the root of my tongue outside for me, don't blame me for being rude! Hearing the separation, Old Man Gu slammed the ground twice with a crutch.
"Damn Qi'er, give her the money! Second child, you can't be too busy to let Hachi also help, okay, it's all gone, why should you go! After speaking, Old Man Gu went back to his room with a gloomy face on crutches.
Zhao stared at Old Man Gu's back and was so anxious that he was spinning, how could her little eight work! That's the life of heaven and wealth, isn't this work gone?
Gu Jiuke didn't care about that, and pulled the potatoes and Ye Qing back to the room.
In a small room of about twenty-five square meters, you don't have to turn around to see the whole room.
Two beds, two sets of bedding, a cupboard, a few small items scattered on the floor, and that's all.
"Sister......
Tudou pulled Gu Jiu's hand and asked with some expectation, "Don't I have to be a scholar for my cousin?" Can I stop calling potatoes from them? ”
Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, and quickly searched for information related to this incident in his mind.
In the memory of the original owner, it seems that this child has no other name than potatoes.
Dafang's son Gu Zhiqi was thirteen years old and cried to buy a scholar, and then the potato was born, Mrs. Gu and Dafang thought that this child was in a hurry to serve Gu Zhiqi, so when the village chief came to ask for the name, Old Man Gu directly asked Gu Zhiqi to get up.
The Gu family now has a total of two grandchildren and three granddaughters. The eldest grandson Gu Zheqi, the youngest grandson Tudou, and the three granddaughters are Gu Qi, Gu Ba, and Gu Jiu.
As for why it's not called Gu Yi, but Gu Qi, the original is that Mrs. Gu thinks that "Qi" and "Seven" have the same sound, a female baby, how can she suppress a male baby!
Gu Jiu sighed, took the potato's hand and said, "Yes, if we think of a new name, we will go to the village chief to change the name." ”
"Then we'll go now!" The potato looked very excited, and as he spoke, he pulled Gu Jiu and ran out.
But before he walked out of the courtyard, he met Gu Zhiqi, dressed in plain white clothes and a blue belt, which looked incompatible with this barren village.
"Stop."
Gu Zhiqi learned from the literati in the city, took a fan in his hand, and walked over locally. Stretching out his left hand, he revealed the egg in his palm.
"Master, I'm tired of eating eggs every day, and now I'm annoyed when I see this thing. But you're different, Gu Jiu, you don't even know what eggs taste like in the past thirteen years, right? ”
"Tsk, look at this life, knock!"
Gu Jiu: You'd better be really something, otherwise if you show off like this, I'm afraid I can't help but slap you.
"I heard that you annoyed grandpa, and you are not qualified to eat the family's food in the future? In this way, you will be a maid for the master, and the master will go to the grandfather and say that he will spare you this time. Not only that, but you can also guarantee that you will eat an egg every ten days. What do you think? Didn't you expect me to be so atmospheric?"
Hearing this, the potato hurriedly pulled Gu Jiu and signaled her not to agree. His former cousin's scholar had to do a lot of things every day, grinding ink, copying books, cleaning and washing clothes...... One after another, it's not enough to get busy!
After listening to Gu Zhiqi's words, Gu Jiu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth: "Do you have a brain straight through the large intestine?" In this poor country, do you really think of yourself as a young master? What is your own identity and how much ability do you have in your heart, don't you have any points in your heart? ”
"And an egg every ten days? Oh my God, you're still weird and generous, do you know how much a maid has to pay a month? Can you afford it? ”
Hearing this, Gu Zhiqi also directly blackened his face.
He's so big that no one can say a word to him! He gave a dog an egg, and the dog knew how to wag its tail, which was good for a long time, and it was shameless to give it to the face!
"Gu Jiu, do you know what the identity of the young master is now? Child! There are five or six villages within a radius of dozens of miles, and there is no one who was admitted to the middle school at the age of nineteen like my master! ”
"You immediately kneel down and kowtow to apologize to the master! Otherwise, don't want to have a stable life in the Gu family in the future! Not to mention Gujia Village, a village within a radius of dozens of miles, as long as the master and I say a word, you see if you can get married! ”
Looking at the person in front of him, whose face was thicker than the ground, the corners of Gu Jiu's mouth couldn't help twitching.
Where did he get such a big face!
"You can't be deaf! You didn't hear me when I spoke to you! Believe it or not, I'll tell my grandfather now and let him sell you to the kiln now! ”
Gu Jiu glanced at the few figures who were lying on the window and watched, and silently clenched his fists!
Gu Zhiqi, you'd better stay home all the time!
"Potato, don't bother with the madman, let's go!"
"Stop! Master, did I let you go? I'm ......."
Gu Jiu turned his head suddenly, his palm fist led the wind, and he stopped steadily in front of Gu Zhiqi. Gu Zhiqi looked at the fist that was suddenly magnified several times, and instantly closed his mouth, and even his breathing was much lighter.
"Potato, let's go."
Waiting for Gu Jiu and the two to walk out of the courtyard, Gu Zhiqi immediately became alive again: "Come on!" Heads-up! Master, I can be afraid of you! ”
……
"Potato, our name is Gu Jing, okay? The brilliance of jade has a bright future. ”
Gu Jiu thought about it as he walked, and denied more than a dozen names one after another, and only when he walked to the door of the village chief did he determine the name.
"Good! I'll have my own name for the rest of my life! Gu Jing raised his hands and cheered, celebrating that he was no longer a wild child without a name in Da Zhuang's mouth.
"Jiu girl, why are you here?" Aunt Xia looked at Gu Jiu and said vigilantly, this point won't be rubbing rice!
"Hello Auntie, let's find the village chief and want to change the name."
"Change your name? Potatoes? ”
"Yes."
"Okay, sit down for a while, he's gone to the hut."
The name was changed very smoothly, and Gu Jing's father was originally required to be present, but the former is no longer a personnel officer, and the village chief did not mention this matter again.
After changing his name, Gu Jiu took Gu Jing to the field in the west of the village.
All the way is dry corn, and now it is the flowering period of corn heading, and there is no water, which is bound to greatly reduce the yield.
Walking to the west of the village, Gu Jiu found that the terrain in this area was relatively high, and it was even drier than what he had seen before!
Gu Jiu's eyes were solemn, and at this time, there was a lack of water, and it was easy to cause corn stalks and grains due to the inability to pollinate. More importantly, these grains are not sold, but used as seeds and staples for the coming year.
"Sister, can we bring some water from home to water it!"
Gu Jing was only six years old, standing in the field less than half the height of corn, obviously hungry and malnourished, and his growth was slow. But now when I see that I have come to the ground, my eyes are full of excitement. He used to have to saddle up and wait on his cousin every day, and he didn't have time to look around, and this was the first time he had been in the field!
Gu Jiu shook his head, every family in Gujia Village has a well, and there is a shortage of water right now, so even people have to save some water in that well, let alone where to water the ground, and when will such a large area be watered?
"Xiao Jing, come." Gu Jiu beckoned to Gu Jing: "Do you see these things that are the same as small particles?" We slowly take it off and sprinkle it on top of this. ”
"Oh, sister, what are you doing here?"
"It's hand pollination, which allows us to harvest more food. It's getting late, and we'll start working on it tomorrow morning. ”
"Good!"
Before leaving, Gu Jiu glanced at the field again, and couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the clear sky overhead, hoping that this would avoid a great reduction in grain production.
