A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family

Chapter 104: Jiang's

Chapter 104 Jiang

When I got home, it was already early in the afternoon.

Several families are busy. Gu Dafu, Gu Dalin, and the Luo family are grinding beans and carrying buckets of ground soy milk to Gu Dashan's house. After filtering the soy milk, they carry it to the kitchen of Gu Dashan's house. inside.

While Gu Dashan, Gu Jinan and Cui were boiling soy milk in the kitchen and ordering stew to make tofu.

As for the half-old children of several families, they all went out to chop and collect firewood. Everyone was so busy that their feet never touched the ground, and no one was idle.

When the third grandma saw them coming back, she hurried to greet them and asked as usual: "How is business today? Did nothing happen?"

She has been worried that Zou Xiancheng will cause trouble for them these days. Previously, the shopkeeper of Fugui Building wanted their prescription, and she was afraid.

Its okay, business is going very well, no one is here to make trouble. The third grandfather removed his burden, took the money from Qin Sanlang, and said to them: You go home and be busy first, and come over to share the money in the evening.

They are not rich, and there are too many places where money is needed, so the money is paid one cent a day. This way the accounts are clear and everyone is happy.

"Hey, Third Uncle, let's go back first." Gu Damu said, taking Yan Shi home first. Qin Sanlang left the things bought by the Gu family and returned to the Qin family.

Gu Jinxiu heard the noise and knew that they were back. He put down the half-finished shoes in his hands and brought them hot soy milk and bean cakes: "Grandpa Third, Xiaoyu, come here and eat something to cushion your stomach."

Gu Jinli ate a bean cake and drank a bowl of hot soy milk, and then he felt comfortable.

After eating, Gu Jinli went to the kitchen to take over from Gu Dashan and Gu Jinan to make tofu. The two of them followed the third grandfather and called men from several families to go to the back village to clean up their wasteland.

The wasteland was full of weeds, thorns, gravel, and wooden piles. All these had to be cleared away and the soil turned over several times before crops could be planted. But their family was too busy, so they could only finish working at the stall and then rush to work in the fields.

It wasn't until dark that they carried hoes and baskets and went home.

After a busy day, everyone was very tired, but there was hope for the day, and no matter how tired they were, they felt it was worth it.

And now dinner is no longer stewed soybeans, but fragrant bean dregs cakes and golden fried tofu, as well as sweet and crispy soybean sprouts, and stomach-warming sweet potato and aged rice porridge. Everyone is very happy to eat. After dinner, the fatigue of the day was gone.

After dinner, they had to share the money, which made everyone even more happy.

"Sanbo, Dashan, we are here." Gu Dafu and others shouted outside the courtyard gate. After dinner, everyone gathered at Gu Dashan's house to count and distribute the money.

Gu Dashan went to open the door for them. After everyone came to the main room, the third grandfather took out all the money earned today and asked several family members to count it. After counting it three times, after making sure it was correct, he started to divide the money.

We actually made seven taels and four hundred cash today, and the business is better than before. These seven taels and four hundred cash are pure profits, or the net profit after deducting one tael of reserved capital. Mrs. Chu was originally worried that after the Lu family's incident, their business would be worse than before. Unexpectedly, the business was better than before.

Mrs. Chen proudly said: "Sister-in-law Luo, what are you surprised about? You didn't see the people buying tofu today. They were all crowded to buy, and there are still many that can't be bought with us. Today Earning seven taels of silver is a small amount, but I can at least have eight taels tomorrow."

The more Chen talked, the happier she became. She praised Gu Jinli again, and finally said with regret, "If I had a daughter like Xiaoyu, I wouldn't have to worry about anything in my life." As long as she lay at home, This daughter can earn her countless money.

Gu Jinli thanked her, but said goodbye. She couldn't bear a mother like Mrs. Chen, and would not be able to help but cut each other with knives. A gentle and gentle woman like Mrs. Cui was more suitable for her.

After counting the money, everyone started to divide the money. Gu Jinli's family received 22,960 cash, and the other six families received 740 cash.

Everyone got the money, with smiles on their faces. After talking about setting up a stall tomorrow and entertaining Shang Xiucai, they went home.

The next day, when it was dark, several families got up early, made tofu, set up a stall, and chopped firewood. After working for an hour, they rested for breakfast. After breakfast, Gu Jinlis family began to clean the courtyard in preparation for entertaining Shang Xiucai.

At the beginning of the hour, two green-covered mule carts drove into Dafeng Village. Soon they arrived at the old house at the end of the village and stopped in front of the mud courtyard of Gu Jinli's house.

The first mule cart was driven by Ah Jiu, and there was a maid about his age sitting in front of the cart.

The maid named Taozi, got off the mule cart first, took down a stool, placed it on the ground, bowed and lifted the green cloth curtain, and said to the people in the mule cart: "Master and Madam, the Gu family is here."

Shang Xiucai got out of the car, first hugged his daughter Yuanyuan, and then helped Ms. Jiang get out of the mule cart.

Ms. Jiang looked up at the dirt yard in front of her and asked Shang Xiucai next to her: "Is this right here?"

Half of the wall of this mud yard has collapsed, and the five yellow mud thatched houses are also low and dilapidated. There are still people living in such old and dilapidated houses.

Shang Xiucai nodded: "Well, this is the home of our little benefactor."

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she felt very sad. This little benefactor's family looked very poor, but she didn't mean to look down on her little benefactor's family. In her grandfather's generation, the Jiang family was also a farmer digging in the fields. They were once so poor. It was only after her father joined the army that he became rich and allowed her to live the life of an official lady.

Ms. Jiang glanced at the mule cart behind her and whispered to Shang Xiucai: "Are the gifts we brought a little short? How about adding another silver note?"

Shang Xiucai shook his head: "No. Although the Gu family came from famine, they are not beggars. Since we regard them as benefactors and want to move around with them, we cannot do so."

Giving a banknote is no different from buying a favor.

Although this kind of kindness can indeed be bought and sold with money, the scholar did not want to do so.

The Qin Gu Luotian family are people with backbone. They are not like ordinary farmers who just tolerate being bullied. Instead, they are willing to report to the officials. They are not the kind of people who ask for repayment by asking for favors, so he is willing to respect them. They, treat them as old friends.

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang no longer persisted, and followed Shang Xiucai towards the Gu family's courtyard. Before they reached the courtyard gate, Gu Jinli's family came out to greet them.

"This is my little benefactor's cousin, Sanshu Gu, and this is my little benefactor's father, Brother Gu..." Shang Xiucai introduced them to Jiang one by one, and then specifically told her: "This little girl is the little girl who saved our Yuanyuan." benefactor."

Although the night of the Lantern Festival was chaotic, Mrs. Jiang vaguely remembered Gu Jinlis appearance. After looking at Gu Jinlis appearance, she smiled and said, He is really our little benefactor.

"Xiaoyu has met Uncle Shang and Aunt Shang." Gu Jinli smiled and saluted Shang Xiucai and his wife. This was taught by Cui. He then looked at the little girl Shang Xiucai was holding and smiled at her: "You are Yuanyuan, right? .

Yuan Yuan was also looking at Gu Jinli, and when he saw her talking to her, he was not afraid of the stranger. Instead, he nodded heavily and said in a soft and waxy voice: "Yes, Yuanyuan is Yuanyuan."

This childish remark made everyone burst into laughter, which eliminated the gap between the two families when they first met, and made them more harmonious.

Dont just stand around, come in and talk. The third grandma welcomed the three Shang family members into the house.

Although the Gu family's old house is dilapidated, it is very clean. There is no plaster or moss in the old house, and there is no peculiar smell, only a faint fragrance of wormwood.

Gu Jinli will smoke the house with mugwort every three days to completely eliminate the musty smell in the house and kill many bugs and bacteria.
