Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 104

When I got home, it was already the beginning of the afternoon.

Several families are busy. Gu Dafu, Gu Dalin, and Luo's father and son are grinding beans, picking buckets of ground soy milk to Gu Dashan's house, filtering the soy milk, and then carrying the soy milk to Gu Dashan's kitchen inside.

Gu Dashan, Gu Jin'an, and Cui Shi boiled soy milk in the kitchen, and made tofu with marinade.

As for the half-grown children of several families, they all went out to chop and collect firewood. Everyone was so busy that they kept their feet on the ground, and no one was idle.

Seeing them coming back, the third grandma hurried up to meet them, and asked as usual: "How is business today? Nothing happened, right?"

She has been worrying for the past few days that Zou Xiancheng will trouble them. She was afraid that the shopkeeper of the Fugui Building wanted their prescription.

"It's all right, business is going very well, no one is making trouble." The third grandfather unloaded the burden, took the money Qin Sanlang was holding, and said to them: "You go home and get busy, and come over to share the money at night."

Several families are not rich, and there are too many places that need money, so the money is still one cent a day, so that the accounts are clear and everyone is happy.

"Hey, third uncle, let's go back first." Gu Damu said, and took Yan's home first, and Qin Sanlang returned to Qin's house after leaving the things bought by Gu's family.

Gu Jinxiu heard the movement and knew they were back, so she put down the half-filled shoes in her hand, and brought them hot soy milk and bean cakes: "Third Grandpa, Xiaoyu, come over and eat something to fill your belly."

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

After eating, Gu Jinli went to the kitchen to replace Gu Dashan and Gu Jinan in making tofu, while the two of them followed the third grandfather and called a few men from the family to the back village to tidy up their wasteland.

The wasteland was full of weeds, thorns, gravel, and wooden stakes. These things had to be cleared away, and the soil had to be turned up several times before crops could be planted.But the few of them were too busy, so they could only rush to the field to work after finishing the stall.

It wasn't until dark that they returned home with hoes and baskets.

After a whole day of work, everyone is very tired, but there is hope for the day, no matter how tired they are, they feel it is worth it.

And today's dinner is no longer stewed soybeans, but fragrant bean dregs cakes, fried golden tofu, sweet and crisp soybean sprouts, and sweet potato rice porridge that warms the stomach. Everyone is very happy to eat. After dinner, the tiredness of the day was gone.

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

"Sanbo, Dashan, here we come." Gu Dafu and the 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, and when everyone came to the main room, the third grandfather took out all the money he earned today, asked the family to count them, counted them three times, and after confirming that they were correct, he began to distribute the money.

"We actually made seven taels to four hundred cash today, and this business is better than before." The seven taels to four hundred cash is pure profit, or net profit after deducting one or two reserved capital.The Chu family was originally worried that after the Lu family's affairs, their business would not be as good as before, but unexpectedly, the business was better than before.

Mrs. Chen said proudly: "Sister Luo, why are you surprised? You didn't see the people who bought tofu today. They were all overwhelmed to buy, and there are still many who can't buy with us. Today Earning seven taels of silver is not enough, and tomorrow there will be at least eight taels."

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

Gu Jinli thanked Bumin, and said goodbye. She couldn't bear a mother like Chen, and would not be able to resist cutting each other with knives. A gentle and calm mother like Cui was more suitable for her.

After counting the money, everyone began to divide the money. Gu Jinli's family got two taels of 960 Wen, and the other six families got 740 Wen.

Everyone got the money with smiles on their faces, and after talking about going out to the stall tomorrow and entertaining Shang Xiucai, they went home.

Before dawn the next day, the family got up early, made tofu, went out to the stall, and chopped firewood. After working for an hour, they rested for breakfast.

After breakfast, Gu Jinli's house began to clean the yard, preparing to entertain Shang Xiucai.

At the beginning of Sishi, two mule carts with green tents drove into Dafeng Village, and arrived at the old house at the end of the village not long after, and stopped in front of the mud yard of Gu Jinli's house.

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

The servant girl named Taozi got out of the mule cart first, took down a stool, put it on the ground, then bowed and raised the green cloth curtain, and said to the people in the mule cart: "Master, madam, the Gu family is here."

Shang Xiucai got out of the carriage, first carried his daughter Yuanyuan, and then helped Mrs. Jiang to get off the mule cart.

Jiang raised her head and looked at the dirt yard in front of her, and asked Shang Xiucai next to her, "This is it?"

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

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

When Jiang Shi heard this, she sighed in her heart.This little benefactor's family looked very poor, but she didn't mean to look down on the little benefactor's family.Their Jiang family was in the grandfather's generation, and they were also farmers who planed food on the ground. They used to be so poor. It was after her father joined the army that he made a fortune and let her live the life of a young lady from the Shangguan family.

Mrs. Jiang glanced at the mule cart at the back, and whispered to Shang Xiucai, "Did we bring less gifts? Why don't we add an extra silver ticket."

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 walk with them, then we can't do that."

There is no difference between giving a silver ticket and buying kindness.

Although this kindness can indeed be bought and sold with money, Shang Xiu didn't want to do it.

Qin Gu Luotian's family has integrity, unlike ordinary peasants who just bear with it after being bullied, they are willing to report to the officials, and they are not those who wait for favors to be rewarded, so he is willing to respect They, deal with them as old friends.

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang no longer persisted, and followed Shang Xiucai towards the courtyard of Gu's family. Before reaching the courtyard gate, Gu Jinli's family came out to welcome her.

"This is the little benefactor's grandfather, Uncle Gu, and this is the little benefactor's father, Brother Gu..." Shang Xiucai introduced Jiang Shi one by one, and then told her specially: "This little girl is the one who saved our Yuan Yuan. Little benefactor."

Although the night of the Lantern Festival was chaotic, Mrs. Jiang vaguely remembered Gu Jinli's appearance. After seeing Gu Jinli's appearance, she smiled and said, "It's really our little benefactor."

"Xiaoyu has met Uncle Shang and Aunt Shang." Gu Jinli smiled and bowed to Shang Xiucai and his wife, which was taught by Cui, and looked at the little girl Shang Xiucai was holding, and smiled at her: "You are Yuan Yuan, right?" .”

Yuan Yuan was also looking at Gu Jinli, seeing her talking to her, she was not afraid of being unfamiliar, but nodded heavily, and said in a soft voice: "Yes, Yuan Yuan is Yuan Yuan."

This childish remark made everyone laugh, which eliminated the gap between the two families when they first met, and made them a little more harmonious.

"Don't just stand there, come in and talk." The third grandma welcomed the three members of the Shang family into the house.

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

Gu Jinli would smoke the house with wormwood every three days, completely eliminating the musty smell in the house, and killing many bugs and bacteria.
