The sun is slanting in the west, the last bit of residual temperature is dissipated, and the orange warm light shines on the surface of the river, and the river water is like a golden-orange jade belt.

Xu Ling took his younger brothers and sisters and Gu Daliang to work together to cut half an acre of rice, and then transported the rice to the village wheat field to be dried.

The wheat field is the place where the villagers of Lianhuawanzi dry the grain, the area is very large, the ground is very flat, and the sound of the stone mill creaking here has not stopped when it comes to the busy farming season.

"A stone mountain is so beautiful, people revolve around it every day, obviously planting grain and rice, but harvesting white flour."

This riddle that came from nowhere is about the stone mill, which has been passed down from generation to generation in Lotus Bay.

The children were running and playing in the wheat field with pigtails, and after a while, they attracted the rebuke of many adults.

Every household occupies a place in the wheat field, and usually whoever cuts the grain quickly will dry the grain first.

Those who have cattle and carts at home can seize the opportunity.

Gu Daliang was originally worried that there would be no place to dry his rice when it was recovered, and if it rained in the future, this year would be in vain.

Now with Xu Ling's help, he can get the grain back from the field in time, and he is tired, but he is happy.

Walking in the wheat field with a cart is also particularly eye-catching.

Many people greeted Xu Ling and Gu Daliang, and they also greeted them back.

Unloading the rice into the open space, Xu Ling asked his younger brothers and sisters to spread the rice, and he and Gu Daliang continued to pull the rice.

Trip after trip, it's no easier to do this than to do business outside.

Xu Ling didn't say a word of bitterness.

When it was almost dark, Gu Zhen came to them with the eldest girl in his arms and asked them when they would go home so that they could cook.

Xu Ling was already hungry, "I can go back after pulling the fields again." ”

Gu Yi saw that there was not much rice in the field, so he went home and told his mother-in-law.

After drying the last cart of rice, it was finally over, Xu Ling and Gu Daliang were discussing taking turns to stay and watch the field, when suddenly Gu Daliang and his uncle came over.

Gu Litian has three lines at home, with an older brother and a sister above, and a younger brother named Gu Licai below.

Gu Licai is Gu Yao's father.

He walked over, smiled and chatted with Gu Daliang for a few words, and wanted to borrow a board car.

"It's better to marry all the way, look at you, so many people help you work. It's like me, just this girl, married to a scholar who can't work. Gu Licai was really depreciating, and he could be regarded as taking care of Xu Ling's face and praised a few words.

Gu Daliang snorted and responded with a smile, but he didn't take it seriously.

At that time, they split up, and it was his third uncle who made it.

His eldest uncle Gu Limin left early, and the third uncle was afraid that Gu Yu would marry Xu Ling, a bastard, and drag down the family, so he took the opportunity to ask for a split family.

He kept Gu Daliang's grandparents by his side, and asked other brothers and sisters for a pension every year, as the youngest son who supported his father and mother, he also shared the most land.

Usually Gu Licai is in the village, and he often brags to others that he is the old man who reads.

Why do you dislike that people who read books can't work now?

Gu Da has a good conscience, but he is not stupid, not to mention that Xu Ling has changed now, even if Xu Ling is still the same gangster as before, no matter how much he scolds, he will say two good words in front of others.

"Third uncle, Yaoyao's life is good, doesn't the Zhao family have a cow? Why didn't I lend you a head, so it's not so tiring to work like this! ”

Zhao Zhen's grandfather raised six cows, is recognized as a large cattle breeder in the village, his family has more than ten acres of fertile land, and the family is not divided, the whole family supports one Zhao Zhen, to say that other people have no opinions, it is definitely impossible.

However, Zhao Zhen is famous and can read, which makes others do their best.

The Zhao family regards cattle as more important than life, and sends other grandchildren to cut cattle grass or herd cattle every day, how can they lend cattle to Gu Licai.

Gu Licai was stunned by the meaning of his words, yes, no matter how well his daughter marries, he can't help him as a father, isn't it also for nothing?

Xu Ling was eating melons and watching the play on the side, and he thought it was quite interesting.

Gu Licai couldn't hold back his face, so he had to praise Xu Ling again, "Xu Ling is productive now, and if you make so much money and go home, your life at home will be better in the future." ”

Xu Ling smiled modestly: "I haven't earned much yet." ”

Xu Ping and Xu An were so hungry that they could eat people, and they couldn't wait to go home early to cook, but they couldn't wait impatiently when they saw that they were being dragged down.

Xu An pulled the corner of Xu Ling's clothes and asked complainingly: "Big brother, okay, I'm so hungry." ”

Gu Daliang hurriedly said: "Then you go back first, I'll look at the rice here, just bring me some after you eat." ”

Although the village is full of acquaintances, it is not possible to guarantee that there are people like Xu Ling who steal chickens and dogs, and everyone is wary.

When Gu Licai heard this, he hurriedly said: "What else do you have left, you all go to eat, I'll just watch it for you, and lend me your cart for a while." ”

After going around in circles for a long time, Gu Li finally said his purpose.

Xu Ling agreed without thinking about it.

When they returned home, it was already dark.

Xu Ping and Xu An were playing in front, and Xu Ling and Gu Daliang were walking behind and chatting.

Xu Ling said that he wanted to rebuild the house for his family before the winter.

Gu Daliang hesitated for a moment before asking, "Xu Ling, you tell me the truth, you didn't do anything bad outside, right?" ”

Xu Ling couldn't cry or laugh, and repeatedly promised, "My money is all hard-earned money, it's innocent, you can rest assured." ”

"Can you make so much money just by selling the autumn pear paste you said?" Gu Daliang's mind was full of doubts.

Xu Ling told the people in the village that a jar of 100 yuan is a lot, but if you want to build a better new house, it will be at least two digits.

Not to mention that Xu Ling still owes foreign debts.

Xu Ling saw that there was no one else around, he regarded Gu Daliang's family as his family, and he didn't want to hide it from them, so he told the truth.

"How much?" Gu Daliang raised his voice suddenly, and the expression on his face that he had seen before startled the two children in front of him.

Xu Ling's face was calm, "Big brother, you be quiet." ”

"One can 480, two cans 900, three cans ......"

Gu Daliang scratched his head, he couldn't figure it out.

He didn't read, he worked at home when he was a child, and when he grew up, he worked in the fields like his father, and it was good to be able to count his fingers and toes.

Xu Ling relieved him and said: "Ten cans can be sold for four and a half taels of silver." ”

Gu Daliang was stunned: "What about a hundred cans?" ”

"Forty-five taels."

Gu Daliang's eyes widened and he swallowed his saliva.

He finally knew why Xu Ling was so generous.

"You've earned so much?"

These are enough for Xu Ling to repay the money!

Xu Ling explained to him what liquidity is and what fixed expenditure is, and Gu Daliang listened very carefully.

Walking back to the small courtyard of the Xu family, Xu Ling's mouth was dry, and Gu Daliang also completely changed his opinion of him.

He didn't understand anything, but he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise: "Xu Ling, your kid's head is really good!" ”
