The bullock cart drove for half an hour before finally arriving at Shangling Village.
When Father Gu parked the oxcart in front of Gu's courtyard, Father Gu took Gu Chengyu down.
"Mom! I'm back!" Gu Chengyu ran towards the main room.
"It's Xiaobao who's back! Come in quickly!" When Gu Chengyu walked to the main room, Mrs. Lu had already heard the sound, got off the kang, and almost arrived at the door of the main room.
"Why are you coming back so late? You are going to school today. Are you strict with me? Do you get along well with your classmates? No one bullies you, right?" The old son of the Lu family came back, and the heart that had been tugging at him all day was finally soothed.
draw.
Gu Chengyu answered Lu's words very patiently, even though Father Gu had already asked these questions on the way.
"Okay! My son is tired after a day of school, and you have to ask him questions when he comes back. Why can't you let him have a rest? The master has also assigned homework later, so he has to finish it in a hurry until it gets dark.
I can't see clearly even if I light an oil lamp. Let's set up the dinner first! After eating, let Xiaobao write in the main room." Father Gu quickly interrupted Lu's ramblings, and if he didn't stop her, he might still want to do it.
I asked for a long time.
"Hey! Why do you still need to read and write when you come back? Isn't it just the first day of going to private school? Then I have to ask the second brother's family to prepare food." After saying this, Mrs. Lu hurriedly went to the kitchen.
"Dad! How is the purchase of fields and homesteads going today?" Gu Chengyu remembered that in the morning, Father Gu and the others entered the town to find Yazi.
"That's it! We said at the dinner table that I didn't go home for a while, I just went to see the land. I asked the boss and the second boss to come back and talk to Li Zheng about the homestead, but they didn't know.
How are they talking about it?" When Father Gu thought about successfully buying the land today, he felt very happy. This is an inheritance for future generations!
In order to celebrate Gu Chengyu's first day of school, Mrs. Lu specially asked Gu and his friends to cut a small piece of meat back from the town and prepare to patch it up for Gu Chengyu.
"It's from my second son's house, don't even think about eating it secretly. I've already counted how many pieces of meat you've cut into. If I find you eating it secretly, I'll let you go back to your parents' house. Do you hear me?"
In the main room, Gu Chengyu heard what his mother warned Mr. He in the kitchen. Alas! We are still short of money! By the way, the honeysuckle should be ready to be picked in the next two days. He must ask his father to take a look.
Mrs. Fang and the others were carrying vegetables and paste. When Wo Wo came in, Mr. He's eyes almost fell into the vegetable basin. This pork was so delicious!
Gu Chengyu took a look at the plate of meat and vegetables on the table and saw that it was fried pork slices with Chinese cabbage. In ancient times, when selling pork, they bought fat meat, so the pork here was all fat. Gu Chengyu did not eat fat meat in his previous life.
Yes, but the fat meat here is particularly fragrant. Every time the meat is cooked, he will eat two pieces.
Gu Wan came back from outside, probably looking for spring flowers again. Gu Chengchi ran to Langzhong Li's house during the day. When Gu Chengyu came back, he had just returned from Langzhong Li's house and lay down to rest for half an hour.
Regarding Gu Chengchi's matter, Gu Chengyu changed his mind and no longer planned to go to see Langzhong Li. Everyone walked their own path. He didn't know why Langzhong Li disagreed, but Langzhong Li had his own intentions in doing things, no matter it was
Whether he really doesn't want to or it's a test, he shouldn't get involved in this matter, it's better to just let nature take its course.
Father Gu picked up the vegetables first, and everyone raised their chopsticks. There were only five pieces of meat in the stir-fried pork with cabbage on He's table. Of course, it was better to eat first. The meat pieces were all in the cabbage. He put his chopsticks in his mouth.
After taking a sip, he immediately rummaged through the cabbage to check the meat slices. Gu Chengyu discovered that this was his second sister-in-law's habit. Before eating, she would put the chopsticks in her mouth to take a sip, then pick up the vegetables, and she also liked to toss them over and over in the vegetable basin.
, which makes people lose their appetite just looking at it.
Seeing that Mr. He was taking action, Erya immediately took the chopsticks and imitated Mr. He in rummaging through the vegetable basin. Mr. He was about to fall out when he saw this. But unexpectedly, Mrs. Fang hit the back of Erya's hand with her chopsticks, and it fell on the table.
Everyone was stunned. Even the table next to Gu Chengyu looked over when they heard the movement.
"Who taught you to be so unruly? What does it look like for a girl to do this?" Mrs. Fang shouted coldly at Erya. She would rather not eat meat than for her daughter to learn like Mr. He.
If you have a good temper, you will be disliked by others if you marry your husband's family in the future.
"Mom! I" Erya covered the back of her hands, her eyes red with grievance. Didn't she want to give her elder brother a piece of cake?
Mrs. Fang saw that her daughter's eyes were red and she was so sad that she opened her eyes.
When Gu Chengyu saw this scene, he didn't expect that the Fang family paid so much attention to the virtues of their children. No wonder Dalang and the others were honest and at least had good temperaments.
Father Gu frowned as he looked at the table. If something was not done at the dinner table every day, it seemed that the meal would not be delicious.
"Okay! Eat quickly. I have something to say after you finish."
After everyone had almost finished eating, Father Gu asked Fang and the others to clear away the dishes and plan to start discussing building a house.
"My second son and I went to town early in the morning to find Liu Yazi to see if there was a large piece of prime land for sale. Liu Yazi said we had to wait. He was about to come back, but he knew Yazi well.
It was said that there was a large piece of land for sale in Xialing Village, so Liu Yazi took us to have a look. My second son and I went there, it was fifty-five acres! It was divided into two areas, and the land was good! It’s a pity that we
I can't afford so much." Father Gu took out the cigarette rod, lit it and took a puff.
"Dad, it would be a pity if you don't buy that field! Our village doesn't have those high-quality fields that stretch into large tracts. The land that is sold is only a few acres. It's all in pieces and can't be put together!"
Gu Chengyi then said with emotion. But if he bought all fifty-five acres, his family would be able to get so much money. Even if the family still wants to build a house, sixty or seventy taels may not be able to build many large tile-roofed houses. This is really
Making things difficult.
"Then just buy thirty-five acres! What's the point?" The remaining money belongs to Xiaobao. Is the second brother trying to make money again? Lu thinks that the second brother is a white-eyed wolf, no matter how much money he takes out
He will never be satisfied.
"But other people's fields have to be sold contiguously. One piece is 25 acres, and the other is 30 acres. This is the land of Mr. Qin's family in Xialing Village. I also met Mr. Qin today. He said that his family
The uncle will be doing business in the capital from now on and doesn’t want to go back to Xialing Village. Isn’t that right? Once they left, there was no one to take care of the field. That’s why I wanted to sell the field. Otherwise, it would be sowing in more than half a month.
, Who is willing to sell their land?" Father Gu was also worried. Xialing Village is also close to Shangling Village, so it is easier to manage. Besides, it is not easy to buy land nearby. They are all scattered. Although there are still some
Big and small Zhuangzi, but his family can’t afford it, right?
"Is this the only one that sells land? Is there anyone else?" After hearing this, Gu Chengyu also felt it was difficult to deal with it. It was too difficult to buy any one piece individually. If he bought them all, his family's life would be difficult.
