Gu Chengyu spent the whole morning reciting and copying. Gu Chengyu improved his progress, and Master Wen no longer suppressed Gu Chengyu, so he learned more in one morning than in the previous two days combined.
Unknowingly, it was time for lunch. Wang Qikai took Gu Chengyu to the dining hall. This time, Gu Chengyu noticed that Wang Qikai already had a rice pick. In fact, Gu Chengyu knew that it was not easy for Wang Qikai to have no friends on weekdays.
When I met him, I truly considered him a friend.
"Chengyu! You scared me today. Why are you here so late? But what's going on at home?" Wang Qikai waited at the door of the private school for a long time in the morning, but didn't see Gu Chengyu's oxcart, so he had to go in first.
.
"There are just some things at home that have been taken care of now! Aren't I late too?" Gu Chengyu and the others found a seat with porridge bowls under the bright smiles of the cook. Gu Chengyu also found out later that
In fact, the cook is a distant relative of Mrs. Wen's family. The dry food on the bottom of the pot like last time was what the cook planned to keep for herself. Everyone in the private school knows this because this is what the cook often does, but since Gu Chengyu came
After that, Gu Chengyu always had a share of the thick porridge.
The cook looked at the little fat man and Gu Chengyu who passed by just now. She really liked that child. Even though the child was a human being, he was very polite to a peasant woman like her, unlike other students.
, who prides himself on being a good person, is not so polite to her.
It is also undeniable that women like to see beautiful things, including good-looking people, especially good-looking little cubs like Gu Chengyu.
"If you are really late, maybe the master will really punish you! By the way, I heard from my father that an official document has come down, and you have to do corvee again! This time the corvée is dangerous! Go back and give it to you
Dad, let’s talk to them so we can be prepared.”
Wang Qikai saw that the Gu family was not a wealthy family, and the bullock cart was still new. He thought it was bought for Gu Chengyu to go to private school. Last time he met his uncle and eldest brother of the Gu family, among the three of them, it was because Gu Chengyu was going to a private school, so he wore it.
The one is slightly better, the other two are still wearing coarse clothes!
"Is it only possible to go to the nearby village in these two days? I understand. I will tell my family when I get back!" Why would Gu Chengyu worry about taxes at this moment? The Gu family had already planned to use money to pay for it.
Wang Qikai bit the steamed bun again and again and glanced at Gu Chengyu carefully.
Gu Chengyu saw it out of the corner of his eye and didn't ask. Wang Qikai was a man who couldn't hold back his words, so he would definitely ask later.
"Chengyu, do you want some help? I can lend it to you first!" Wang Qikai said he was borrowing it because he was afraid of hurting Gu Chengyu's self-esteem. In fact, he didn't want Gu Chengyu to pay it back.
Gu Chengyu thought Wang Qikai was hesitant to say something. What did he want to say? It turned out to be because of this? Then he felt a little warm in his heart.
"You fool, you just met me. Otherwise, why wouldn't you be used by others? If you meet that money-grubbing person, you won't hesitate. Don't worry! My father and others have already prepared this money. In front of my house
I got the news from an acquaintance in the past two days." Gu Chengyu swallowed the gruel in his mouth and looked at Wang Qikai seriously.
"Qi Kai! Thank you!"
"Thank you for what? I didn't help?" Wang Qikai was a little embarrassed by Gu Chengyu's solemn thanks. In fact, how could he be so stupid? He was not someone who would speak to just anyone. Based on his observations these days
Afterwards, he still trusted Gu Chengyu's character.
Gu Chengyu glanced aside and found that Ye Zhiqiu, who always sat in that corner eating, was not there. Wang Qikai followed his gaze and sighed!
"There are no adult men in the Ye family, so they don't have to do corvee work. However, I heard that Ye Zhiqiu's second sister is not feeling well. She has been seeing a doctor and taking medicine for the past two days. I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money, and there is no long-term visit to his family.
Money work is difficult enough for a big family." Although Wang Qikai is a son of a wealthy family, he also understands the suffering of the world, which may have something to do with his identity.
He has not finished worrying about his own affairs, and naturally he can't take care of other people's affairs. Gu Chengyu knew that Wang Qikai usually didn't have enough to eat, but the canteens were all rationed. He handed the other steamed bun in his hand to Wang Qikai, and Wang Qikai could
You're welcome, I took it and ate it.
Gu Chengyu looked at Wang Qikai's body shape and then looked at his eating appearance, but also shook his head and was speechless. He was more than three years older than him, almost bigger than the two of him. Whether he could lose weight in the future was a question. Now he was hungry.
I don't know if my dizzy problem can be cured.
After the two of them finished eating, they went back to Class C.
The sun, which was still in the sky, had now reached the west. With the ringing of the bell, Gu Chengyu and the others ended their day of private school life.
"Chengyu! I'm going back first!" Wang Qikai waved his arms to Gu Chengyu and climbed into his carriage.
"Dad! We have to go to Dashan's shop today to get the soap molds! Have you baked the fungus that daddy went back to bake this morning?" Seeing his father coming to pick him up, Gu Chengyu quickly discussed the fungus baking that they had discussed in the morning.
Asked, this involves a lot of money!
"It has been dried for a long time, and it is almost dry now. As long as it is dried again tomorrow, it will definitely work! Your method is good! Otherwise, I don't know how many days of sunshine it will take! I weighed before getting on the kang.
This fungus is so heavy when wet, it weighs more than eighty kilograms! I don't know how much it will weigh after it is dried." Father Gu only hopes that after shrinking, it won't lose too much, because this is all money!
Gu Chengyu remembered that he had picked six or seven long pieces of deadwood at that time, and the tops were crowded. When he let it go in the space, the fungus was of good quality, with big flowers, unlike wild fungus.
For one pound of dried fungus, seven or eight pounds of wet fungus are needed.
"Ah! By the way! Xiaobao? When we left last time, we said we would go in five days, but now it's not even five days! I wonder if the mountain is ready?"
"Let's go and take a look and we'll find out!" Those molds use less material, and the most labor-intensive parts are the roses and fonts on them. Although this is time-consuming, it is not profitable. He believes that Dashan will not take five days.
, it can be done well.
The oxcart stopped in front of Dashan's carpentry shop. The floor in front of the door was covered with wooden planks, and there were unfinished cart frames on both sides. Dashan was squatting on the ground, fixing the cart.
shelf.
"Dashan!" Father Gu stopped the ox cart and shouted towards the door.
"Hey! It's brother, come in quickly, I've been waiting for you to come these two days! The mold has been made for you a long time ago!" Dashan looked back and saw that it was the customer who asked him to carve the mold that day, grinning widely.
