Gong Jian's father couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. It seemed that the only task for the couple now was to take good care of themselves.
He was injured and was bedridden. After taking medicine for so many years, although he looked good now, after all, he had been seriously injured before and had to make up for it slowly.
As for the child's mother, her family was indeed extremely poor at that time. She also suffered a lot, and her body was not that strong. We just took this opportunity to take supplements together and maintain good health. We strive for the sake of the children.
, living a few more years, this is his biggest wish now.
The small courtyard of Gong Jian's family has been filled with all kinds of laughter and laughter every day since they moved in. After getting along, the two families have become even more in tune with each other. They have similar living habits, so they get along very harmoniously.
Although no one has said it clearly, no one cares about those deeds of sale, and no one will limit their identity to the status of servant and master. There is no big difference between them, and they are even more different when they get along.
Relaxed and at ease.
Seeing the two families slowly integrating into each other, Gong Jian felt relieved. Things at home were almost settled, so he took Gong Yu to a private school in the county with the apprenticeship ceremony.
The teacher selected by Gong Jian for this private school was a middle-aged scholar. After several years of examination, he failed to pass the examination and returned to his hometown to teach in despair.
Unlike those older gentlemen, this gentleman's thoughts are not too stubborn. Gong Jian also chose him for this reason. This younger brother of his is honest and responsible enough. He hopes that Mr.
You can teach him to be more flexible.
As a gift to become a disciple, the gentleman quizzed Gong Yu on several questions and found that the child's basic skills were still solid, so he accepted Gong Yu as a student and began to study in a private school.
At this point, it was finally time to go to school. Gong Yu basically spent his time in private school during the day. As for the shop at the entrance of the small courtyard, Gong Jian also chose an auspicious day and set off a burst of firecrackers lively to tell everyone that it was official.
Opened for business.
Gong Jian simply put the name of the store on the plaque of a grocery store. Anyway, most of the items inside were kung fu knitted backpack supplies. There were also handkerchiefs, purses, etc. embroidered by Gong Yue.
Gong Jian didn't expect much money from this shop, so he asked Uncle Wang to stay in the shop and look after the shop and the door. Occasionally, someone would come to buy something, and Uncle Wang could handle it by himself.
After the shop opened, as Gong Jian expected, very few people came to patronize it. Uncle Wang was a man who couldn't take time off. Soon, he found a piece of wood and started carving there. After being discovered by Gong Jian, he
I discovered that Uncle Wang actually has good carving skills.
The wood carvings made by Uncle Wang were all lifelike and very popular. So there was another product in the grocery store, which was Uncle Wang's wood carvings. And Gong Jian promised that all the money earned from this wood carving would go to Uncle Wang.
It was all his own. But in the end, Uncle Wang declined, insisting that he would only take 80% of the money, otherwise, he would not get a cent.
Gong Jian respected principled people very much, and eventually the two of them reached an agreement. 10% of the money from the sale of Uncle Wang's wood carvings would go to Gong Jian's family as consignment fees, and the other 90% would go to Uncle Wang himself.
Since the grocery store sells daily necessities, and Uncle Wang's wood carvings are loved by many children, although the business of the grocery store cannot be called lively, it is enough to subsidize the family income.
Gong Jian even set a monthly payment for Uncle Wang and his family early on. Uncle Wang and his family refused for a long time, but they could not withstand the insistence of Gong Jian and his family. After all, the three brothers and sisters never regarded Uncle Wang and his family as a buyer.
servant.
In view of Gong Jian's behavior, Uncle Wang's family worked even harder, wishing they could split into two people and take over all the work in the house to repay Gong Jian's family for their kindness.
Gongyue is the most leisurely now. Her eldest brother has been busy and arranging things at home, so she is responsible for keeping accounts and arranging housework. Things that require hands-on work are beyond her reach. Aunt Wang
The family wanted to keep her as a pretty young lady and not let her get involved in any housework.
Gong Yue, who was free, could only work hard and devote herself to the embroidery business. This actually gave her a lot of pocket money.
Seeing that everything at home was almost arranged, Gong Jian also said that he was ready to study seriously. He first went to the county school and planned to borrow some exam questions from previous years.
But since he was not a student at the county school, he could not borrow previous exam questions even if he spent a lot of money. So Gong Jian prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and simply went to the county school at dawn to borrow past exam questions.
They were all transcribed.
While he was still copying test questions from previous years, the Tian family also moved to the county.
The fields and houses in the county also have servants, so they don't need to be specially cleaned. They just need to pack up the lady's belongings and move them to the county.
The reason why they came so slowly was mainly because of the old housekeeper. He had been packing things in the old house. He thought of this today and that tomorrow. In short, he was trying to delay as much as possible.
The old housekeeper just didn't want his old boss to see Gong Jian. He always felt that the young man was a little evil. After seeing Gong Jian, shopkeeper Tian and Song's mother started praising the young man, as if their hearts were filled with tears.
That young man is the best. How can the old housekeeper rest assured?
If the old boss is asked to meet this person, what if the old boss is also enchanted by that person? Who knows, if the old boss is deceived, he will simply betroth the young lady to that Gong Jian. In that case, the old housekeeper will have to
Where to cry?
Therefore, he had not been able to stop his old boss from wanting to see Gong Jian before. After much deliberation, the old butler finally resorted to the procrastination technique.
During this move, he made all kinds of troubles and delays, wasted time in all kinds of ways, wanted to have fun and wallowed, and prevented the young lady from moving to the county. In the end, it was Song Ma and Shopkeeper Tian who couldn't bear to see him being so different.
They planted crops and joined forces to protest. The old housekeeper reluctantly said that they could move.
So when Miss Tian moved to the county, Gong Jian had already started going to the county school every day to copy test questions.
But when the old housekeeper heard the news, he did not express any joy. You must know that as long as this young man is in the county, as soon as he hears that Mr. Tian wants to see him, the old housekeeper can 100% guarantee
, that young man must immediately pack himself up and appear in front of his old club gloriously. (To be continued)
