In the afternoon of the same day, the Zhao family set up three people with a reward of five nests a day, and the old lady Gu was so angry that she scolded people in the yard.

"Mother, didn't Xiao Qi ask someone to send a tael of silver to the family yesterday? How many nests have been bought! Besides, it's better to finish harvesting it quickly and grind it into flour quickly, isn't it even more troublesome in the third winter? Gu Youcai came out of the room and pulled Mrs. Gu to persuade her.

For the Zhao family to find someone to collect food, he Gu Youcai was in favor of it with both hands and feet. Every time the harvest is over, the boss Gu Wensheng is in the town and does not come back for various reasons, not to mention how envious he is. Now, he can finally experience what it's like to watch others work with his hands behind his back.

It's just that Old Lady Gu didn't think so: "What you said is simple, there were a total of fifteen nests that day!" In this way, you go and tell her that you are going to break and lay off one person, so that you can save five nests a day! ”

Gu Youcai: "......"

"Mother, they take five nests a day, what if they don't work! Sons are not allowed to stare at them! ”

"No, you don't." Old Mrs. Gu waved her hand, looking open: "Mother, go!" Let's see who dares to be lazy! ”

Gu Youcai: "......"

"Mother! How old are you, how can you still do this job? If you go, wouldn't you let someone poke your son in the back? ”

Gu Jiu: "......"

Gu Youcai helped Mrs. Gu back to the house as he spoke: "You rest, son, let's go see if they are lazy!" As he spoke, the man ran out of the door.

Since the original owner's father left, Gu Youcai has hardly taken care of the land, and the harvest cannot be said to be the worst, but it is also countdown. At present, three people were hired to work together, and in less than three days, all the grain was recovered.

Old Lady Gu couldn't believe that this was all there was when she looked at the food in the yard.

"Mother, my son was watching it at the time, and they didn't steal our grain." Gu Youcai stretched out his hand to stop Mrs. Gu, with a helpless face.

"Impossible! There is no locust plague this year, how can it be the same harvest as there is a locust plague! Get out of the way, it's hard to settle accounts when it's late! ”

Gu Youcai was embarrassed, so he stubbornly stopped people from leaving.

"Mother, you rest, isn't it okay for your son to go?"

"Mother will go with you!"

"How can an elder come forward in such a thing? Mother, haven't you lost your worth? ”

The two were in a stalemate for a long time, and seeing that Old Lady Gu was about to nod in agreement, Old Man Gu shouted out from the house at this time: "You have money, you come in." ”

"Your father told you, come into the house. Just go by yourself. ”

Gu Youcai looked at the old lady Gu who was about to go out, and then at the old man Gu who was already standing in front of the window, and finally sighed and entered the house.

It is impossible to steal food, and Mrs. Gu will not be weak enough to pay for her own food when she goes to someone else's house to ask for food. Gu Jiu originally thought that Old Lady Gu would return in vain, but he didn't expect to bring back eighteen nests.

"Mother, you, are you going to bring us back again?" Gu Youcai looked at the nest and asked in disbelief, this nest was given by him, how can he see people now that he wants to come back.

"That is, the group of people still said that they didn't steal, and if they didn't steal, they could make up for it?" As she spoke, Old Lady Gu proudly took the nest into the house.

Gu Youcai opened his mouth, was stunned for a moment and turned around and entered the house, and went out in less than two minutes. At the same time, a strange man entered the courtyard gate with a small piece of pork in his hand.
