"I heard from eldest brother that Brother Hua was dismissed from the first game this time. I saw that eldest brother was very disappointed." Father Gu also hopes that the Gu clan can produce a scholar who will shine on the family lintel.
"Is it so easy to be a scholar? Take Mr. Xiaobao's family for example. He was in his thirties when he was selected as a scholar. How old is Brother Hua? The eldest brother is too impatient." Mrs. Lu put the money into the money.
In the box, I picked up the stretcher on the kang and started embroidering again.
"Old man, I have embroidered twenty handkerchiefs here. You go to town tomorrow and help me bring them to Mrs. Hu at the embroidery shop. One handkerchief is ten cents. The price has been agreed upon. You can get it for me by the way.
Come back from some embroidery work." Ms. Lu has been doing embroidery work for the embroidery shop. These handkerchiefs are made of silk and satin. Ms. Lu embroidered them with special care. Because Ms. Lu doesn't do much rough work, her hands are not rough. She embroiders silk and satin.
The veil will not scratch the satin.
"Hey! Let me take Xiaobao to school tomorrow." Dad Gu quickly agreed.
"Mom! Stop wearing handkerchiefs. It takes time and makes your eyes tired. The family is about to move again and I have to make soap. I'm so busy. How can I have time to do embroidery?" Gu Chengyu felt sorry for his mother. He spent the whole day
Sitting on the kang doing embroidery work, my eyes are so tired, not to mention that I can't make much money from a handkerchief.
"Damn it! Xiaobao is right, I guess Uncle Sun will come to our house to work soon, and he can't come alone! Our family still has to provide a meal, and besides, we will be here in the next two days
We have to move, and there is a lot of work at home. Even if you do embroidery all day long, you can't earn much." In fact, Father Gu also felt sorry for Ms. Lu. Now that the family has money, of course he can't bear to do it.
"Okay! Do you think I don't earn enough? You, Gu Changqing, don't look down on these little money now, right?" Madam Lu actually knew the good intentions of Father Gu and the others, but she was unforgiving and insisted on it.
Just choke on a few words.
"Look, you're here again!" Father Gu was also helpless. Mrs. Lu was just a firecracker, and she could ignite at a moment's notice.
At this time, I heard Gu Wan's voice coming from outside the courtyard door, "Father! Mother! Li is asking you to go to the entrance of the village, saying that he has something important to say!"
Following the sound, Gu Wan quickly entered the main room, "Dad! Go quickly! They are all gone, and they don't know what happened?"
When Gu Chengyu heard what Li was about to say about the important matter, he guessed that it might be a matter of doing corvee service. However, his family didn't need to worry, since they had collected the money anyway.
"Second sister! Do you know what good things I brought back when I went out today?" Gu Chengyu wanted to tease his second sister. The little girl has become much more sensible since what happened last time, and she is no longer as courteous as before.
Playing coquettishly with Ms. Lu, she wants to buy this or that.
"Did you buy me another bracelet?" Gu Wan immediately became energetic after hearing the good stuff.
Mrs. Lu tapped Gu Wan's forehead, "Do you think silver bracelets are cabbage? Just buy them if you want?"
"Then I'll go to the entrance of the village!" Father Gu stood up from the kang and walked towards the door.
"Then you go! I'm not going anyway. I'll tell my family what's going on when I get back." It was difficult for Ms. Lu to go out, and she usually didn't participate in major events in the village.
"Xiaobao! What the hell is this good thing? Don't be too pretentious."
"What are you in a hurry for?" Mrs. Lu smiled and took out a piece of lotus-colored fine cotton cloth from the kangqin, "Here? Take a look, does it look good?"
In fact, this piece of lotus-colored material is more expensive than other fine cottons. Not only because its texture is finer than other cottons, but also because it has less color and is difficult to dye, so this piece of material is ten times more expensive than others.
Five cents per foot!
"Ah! The color is so beautiful. Mom! Are you going to use this piece of cloth to make clothes for me?" Gu Wan stepped forward and touched the fine fabric, feeling that she couldn't put it down.
"Xiaobao bought it for you. He picked this color for you. This color is expensive!" Mrs. Lu was very happy when she saw that Gu Wan liked it.
"Xiaobao! You are so kind, and it is not in vain that I have taken care of you since you were a child!" Gu Wan spread out the material and gestured on her body.
"You girl, you just can't talk! Your brother is good to you not because you take care of him, but because you are his sister." Madam Lu felt sorry for Gu Wan because she was a girl, and she would still have to rely on her brothers in the future. This was obvious.
Tell the siblings that blood ties are indelible.
"I'm just talking! Mom, please help me embroider some flowers on it! I don't know what kind of skirt goes with this color." Gu Wan thought about her skirt, but couldn't find it.
One that matches.
"Ouch! I'm so exhausted! Is it a woman's job to do this?" With the shouting, Mr. He had already arrived in the yard.
"Mom! We are back!" Mrs. He shouted, walking towards the main house. Today it was her turn to cook, so she had to go to the main house and ask her mother-in-law for food.
As soon as she stepped into the house, she saw Gu Wan holding a piece of cloth and gesturing on her body, "Ouch! Where did this cloth come from? Why is the color so beautiful? It's made of fine cotton!"
As He spoke, he stepped forward and wanted to touch it. When Gu Wan saw He's dirt-filled hands, she quickly rolled up the material and hid it behind her back.
"Second sister-in-law! Can't you wash your hands when you come back? They're so dirty!"
"Hey? His sister-in-law? Don't you know that people who go to the fields are so dirty? We are not like you, just like a girl from a landlord's family. Why don't you try going to the fields with me tomorrow? Keep your hands better than mine
It's still dirty! His sister-in-law, please touch that cloth for me!" When Mrs. He saw her sister-in-law saying this to her, she became a little angry. She was eating and drinking with you at home, but she also disliked the people who worked like them for being dirty? It's just that she
Her temper came and went quickly. At this moment, she only remembered the cloth swaying in front of her eyes. She had never seen such beautiful cloth!
"It's from the second child's house! It's your turn to cook today, right? Do you still have time to hide here?" Seeing He's entanglement, Mrs. Lu had no choice but to send Mr. He to cook. If she had known better, she would have brought it out later.
This lazy woman can't even pull it out after seeing it.
"Second sister-in-law! Everyone has this cloth, and the color of your cloth is also very beautiful!" Gu Chengyu planned to give the cloth to them and let them make their own clothes. Anyway, he did not favor one and everyone in the family bought it.
"What? I have one too? Mom! Take it out quickly and let me see!" Hearing that she had one too, Mrs. He's face burst into laughter. She hadn't worn new clothes in many years.
It was too late for Ms. Lu to stop her now. In fact, she also knew that she must have bought it for everyone in the family, otherwise she would not have bought so much, but she still felt distressed!
"Can the cloth be without yours? You go and cook first, and I'll bring it to you later!" She won't take it out now, but will give it to the second child's family when the time comes, and distribute it to everyone after dinner.
, this woman definitely wants it again.
Mrs. Lu opened the cabinet next to the Kang, where the Gu family's rations were kept. She dug out the usual portion in a bowl and handed it to Mrs. He.
He curled his lips and walked away muttering.
When the Gu family members gradually arrived, Father Gu came back from the village entrance. As soon as he came back, he sighed, sat on the kang, and seemed to be in a low mood.
