"Hey! Third uncle of the Gu family, are you going to the town?" Mr. Huang looked at the brand new ox cart and was a little puzzled. He looked left and right but didn't see the driver.
"Ah! I'm back." Father Gu was a little dissatisfied with the behavior of the Zhang family's daughter-in-law next door. She liked to talk about people's disputes all day long, and she also liked hanging out with Wang Yueniang the most. He simply replied and prepared to drive the ox cart into the yard.
.
"Second uncle of the Gu family, relatives are here. Why did this ox cart enter the yard?" Mr. Huang was a little jealous looking at the strong big ox, which is a precious domestic animal.
Although Father Gu didn't want to talk to Mr. Huang, he was so happy when he mentioned the cow he just bought that he couldn't help but want to say a few more words.
"Where are your relatives? Isn't this the cow I just bought when I went to town today?"
Gu Chengyu was pushing open the courtyard door, preparing to let the bullock cart enter the courtyard, when he heard Mr. Huang coming from the yard next door.
"What? Your family bought an ox? This ox cart belongs to your family? Tsk tsk! Ouch! Third uncle of the Gu family? Is your family getting rich? This ox cart costs a lot of money, right?" When Huang heard that it was bought by the Gu family,
, simply too shocked.
Mrs. Huang ran to the gate of the Gu family's yard, touched the carriage of the car, and touched the big ox that was harnessed in front of the car. While touching her mouth, she tsk-tutted: "Look at this cow! It's fat and strong, but
He is a master at pulling a cart and plowing the fields! And this carriage is the only one I have seen in other carriages."
Seeing that she was touching her endlessly, Father Gu lost his patience and said, "My niece-in-law of the Jiang family, we just came back and haven't had lunch yet!"
"Oh! Look at me? Aren't you looking at the cows? Third uncle of the Gu family, your family is like this in Shangling Village now!" Mr. Huang raised his thumbs at Father Gu.
"I don't dare to take it seriously. Landlord Zhao's family is not short of cattle." Father Gu was actually very happy in his heart. Besides Landlord Zhao, his family in Shangling Village can also forget it. I'm afraid no one else has as much money as his family.
.
"Third uncle of the Gu family! But where did he get rich? Tell me, let's earn some money. We are from the same village, not to mention that our two families are closest to each other! If there is money, everyone can earn it!" Gu Chengyu saw
Mrs. Huang licked her smiling face, her smile was as flattering as she wanted.
At the same time, he also sneered at Huang's words. This woman is also stupid. If she really had a way to get the money, who would be willing to tell her? But his family has bought a bullock cart now, and they will have to buy land and build a house in the future.
, if he didn't tell about a way to make money, I'm afraid there would be more unfounded suspicions in the village, and some people would have those evil thoughts. Gu Chengyu thought about it for a moment, and thought it would be better to reveal something.
Father Gu will get angry after hearing this. How shameless is it to say such a thing? No matter how much money his family has, it has nothing to do with the Jiang family, right?
Gu Chengyu quickly pulled Dad Gu over and whispered a few words in Dad Gu's ear. Dad Gu was not happy at first, but he could only nod helplessly.
"How can we get money from this? There is no such thing. A few days ago, Xiaobao and I went up to the mountain and dug up ginseng and sold it for some money. Otherwise, how could we have the money to buy a bullock cart?"
Mr. Huang slapped his thigh and said, "What? What a coincidence? This is a stroke of luck! How much money did the ginseng cost?" Mr. Huang's eyes lit up when he heard about ginseng.
"The ginseng is not big, so we only sold it for a few dozen taels." Father Gu thought it would be better to talk less, since Mr. Li would not go out and talk nonsense anyway.
"A few dozen taels? So many?" When Huang heard that they had sold dozens of taels, she almost went crazy with jealousy. The Gu family is so lucky, right?
"Yes! But I bought a bullock cart and a field today, so there is nothing left. Xiaobao, let's go back and eat." Dad Gu deliberately said that there was no money left, firstly to prevent others from borrowing for no reason, and also
One is to be careful, it is not safe to keep money at home.
The two of them pulled the bullock cart into the courtyard and closed the courtyard door regardless of the Huang family outside.
Gu Chengyu can be sure that after today, everyone in the village will know that his family dug ginseng and sold it for a lot of money.
"Mom! Come out quickly." Gu Chengyu shouted to the main room, wanting to give his mother a surprise.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Lu asked as she collected the threads from the sewing clothes in her hands, folded them neatly, and put them into the kangqin. Then she got off the kang, put on her shoes and went to the yard.
"Ouch! Whose bullock cart is this? Why did it enter the yard?" As soon as Ms. Lu came out of the main house, she saw the big bull's eyes and was startled.
Gu Chengyu grinned, ready to leave the job of explaining to his father, and entered the main room with the package carried from the oxcart.
After a while, Mrs. Lu and Father Gu entered the house, "Why did you buy a bullock cart? Didn't I tell you to save some money? Xiaobao's money was used to buy you a bullock cart?"
"I'm not thinking that Xiaobao has to go to town every day. Wouldn't it be more convenient if there was an ox cart? The ox cart, which is always called Lao Wangtou, adds up day by day. It is also a huge amount of money! Besides,
, His oxen moves too slowly, it’s better to buy a new one so that Xiaobao can sleep a little longer in the morning." Father Gu also considered it, the oxcart is indeed indispensable.
"Mom, our family is going to buy land soon. With the cows, dad and the others will not be so tired. Besides, there is a lot of land. If we rely on manpower to do it, it will delay the work!" Gu Chengyu persuaded from the side.
"Hmph! I can't say anything to you two anyway. I've already bought everything, and it's not right to return it. What's going on with Xiaobao today?" Ms. Lu had been waiting for news at home, but was shocked by Niu later.
, then I remembered.
"It's done! Just study at Mr. Wen's place. You have to get up early tomorrow and make some food for Xiaobao. Xiaobao will have lunch in the private school. Their private school cannot have lunch until early noon. He must be very hungry.
Panic."
"Then we have to have three meals a day, and we have to get up early in the morning to make nests." Mrs. Lu thought for a moment, and decided to get up early every morning and urge her boss to make the nests at the second family's house.
Gu Chengyu had considered eating in a private school. Because if the weather was hot, the food he brought would go rancid, so it would be better to eat in a private school, which was actually not expensive. He also thought about his family’s two-meal-a-day system.
Change.
"Mom, let's add another meal to our family in the morning! Dad, eldest brother, and second brother have to get up early to work in the fields. How can they have the strength to work if they don't eat?"
"How can our family have so much food to eat? Let's talk about this later!" Mrs. Lu took out a cloth bag from the kang and was sewing the edges without raising her head.
Gu Chengyu knew at a glance that his mother was perfunctory with him. However, the Gu family did not have a fixed source of money yet. When he finished making soap, he must buy more rice and noodles to improve the Gu family's food.
"Mom! What are you doing?" Gu Chengyu looked at the cloth bag in Lu's hand. It was square. Could it be a book bag sewn for him?
"You want it tomorrow, why don't I sew you a book bag?" Mrs. Lu pointed the needle and thread in her hand at the light outside the window, squinted her eyes, and kept moving her hands back and forth.
"Mom, stop sewing and take a rest! Don't hurt your eyes!" Gu Chengyu felt a little distressed.
"It'll be ready soon, just wait a moment!"
"Mom! I'm hungry. My father and I didn't even have lunch when we got back!" Gu Chengyu was very helpless and had to take out his trump card.
"What? You are stupid too. Why don't you know how to buy some food for Xiaobao in the town? You come back hungry like this? Wait, I'm still drying the buns you brought back in the well! I'm afraid they'll spoil.
, I'll go and heat it up for you." When Mrs. Lu heard that the two of them hadn't eaten yet, she immediately put down her needle and thread, got off the kang and went to the kitchen.
It turned out that his mother didn't eat the bun, so she left it for him.
Then I thought that there was a nest and a pack of peach blossom cakes in the space. When I had time, I would ask Dalang and the others to share them.
