Chapter 215

After hearing this, Gu Jinli felt relieved.

After the two hid their things, they went home to rest.

They thought it was done without anyone noticing, but Mr. Qin still knew about it.

Although Mr. Qin is old, he has sharp eyes and ears. He heard some voices and knew that Sanlang went to find Xiaoyu, and gave her the family heirloom as compensation.

Originally, he wanted to stop it, but held back.

Putting that thing in Xiaoyu's hands is safer than putting it in Saburo's hands...

Early the next morning, the family got up before dawn and went to send Qin Sanlang and the others off together.

Village head He also came.

Village head He was very excited, and said to the third grandfather and old Qin: "The children of your family are promising, and they will not have to worry about entering the county government as errands for the rest of their lives."

There are people in the village who work in the county government, which is a great thing for their village.

Qin Lao said: "There is still a competition, I don't know if I can enter the yamen."

Village Chief He said with a smile: "Why are you afraid of the competition? Both Erlang Saburo and Brother Wu have real skills, and they will definitely win."

The elders of several families said a few words to Qin Erlang, Qin Sanlang, and Luo Wu, and then sent them out of the village. They didn't turn back until they were out of sight.

Brothers and sisters Gu Jinli, Gu Dashan, third grandfather, and Gu Dafu returned to the workshop to bring tofu to He Dacang and the others.

Now the tofu made by the workshop has reached [-] catties. In a few days, after He Laoguo and the others get started, more soy milk will be ground and more tofu will be made by the workshop.

Half an hour later, Gu Jinli and the others finished their work in the morning. After Gu Jinan wrote down the accounts, he went home, had breakfast, and went to school with his cloth bag on his back.

He Laoguo and the others did not make so much soy milk. After Gu Dashan finished his breakfast, the third grandfather asked him to call Gu Dafu, Gu Dalin, and the half-grown children of the family to water, fertilize, and weed the fields together. .

Gu Jinli also took Mo Chunyue to the field, ran to the acre of medicine field to weed, and sprinkled grass and ash to fertilize the land.

Mo Chunyue asked her: "Little boss, how much can these medicinal materials be sold for? Is it worth more than white rice?"

Gu Jinli said: "It depends on what kind of medicinal materials you grow. Some medicinal materials are more valuable than white rice, and some medicinal materials are very cheap, and the price is comparable to soybeans."

However, she is still very optimistic about the cultivation of medicinal herbs, which is a safe and family-friendly business.

Moreover, paddy fields are not needed to grow medicinal materials, and they can be grown in mountainous and wasteland. If they are planted well, some medicinal materials can be sold for several hundred yuan a catty, which is more cost-effective than growing rice.

Mo Chunyue wanted to grow medicinal materials with Gu Jinli. She felt that this small owner was a lucky person, as if she could make a lot of money in whatever she did.But after hearing Gu Jinli's words, I started to feel uncertain again, wondering if I should follow along?

Gu Jinli saw through her mind at a glance, and said directly to her: "Valuable medicinal materials are harvested every few years. If you want to grow medicinal materials, you have to spend money. If you want to pay for half a year, then you don't A medicinal herb."

"You don't need to worry about this in a hurry. Your family has no land now, so let's talk about it first by working to earn money to buy land."

He Sanlaizi's family used to have land, but he lost it.Now the family doesn't have half an acre of land, and still owes debts to the He family. How can they buy land to grow medicinal materials?

When Mo Chunyue heard this, she gave up her thoughts on growing medicinal materials, thinking about making money first, and after paying off the remaining debts, she bought land.

An acre of medicinal fields is not much, Gu Jinli and Mo Chunyue worked in the field for an hour, and by noon, they had finished the one-acre medicinal field.

"Second Sister, Father, Third Grandpa, let's go home for lunch." Brother Cheng ran to the field with short legs, shouting as he ran.

Gu Dashan came up from the soybean field and hugged Brother Cheng who was running happily: "Don't run away, be careful of falling."

Brother Cheng raised his head and smiled at Gu Dashan: "Father, I have strength now, so I won't fall down."

The second sister always made good food for them, and made him fat.

He said again: "Father, I practice calligraphy in the morning, and I have practiced the calligraphy taught by elder brother ten times."

Brother Cheng is only four years old and has not yet entered school, but Gu Jinan teaches him to write every day when he comes home, and even Gu Dashan was arrested by him to learn how to read.

Life at home will get better and better. As the head of the family, Gu Dashan can't do without literacy. The more he can read, the better he can manage the family's livelihood in the future.

Gu Dashan's dark face was full of smiles: "Our brother Cheng is really good."

When he was in his hometown, Brother Cheng didn't talk much, and he was scared of being beaten by Mrs. Gu.Now that he left the old Gu's house, Brother Cheng became more and more cheerful.

Thinking of the old Gu's family, Gu Dashan couldn't help murmuring: "I don't know if they are still alive?"

"Dashan, go home." The third grandpa and Gu Dafu came up from the ground, grabbed a few handfuls of weeds, wiped the dirt off their feet, and went home for lunch together.

After lunch, the men from each family went to the workshop to cook soy milk and make tofu.

Gu Jinli stayed in the workshop all afternoon, afraid that Zou Yuzhen and his sister would come again.But the strange thing is that their brothers and sisters did not come, nor did they visit several houses.

Gu Jinli was not relieved because of this, but told Gu Jinxiu to close the gate of the courtyard, and if someone from the Lu family and the Zou family came to the door, do not open the door.The enmity between these two families was not so deep, and she didn't believe that the Zou Yuzhen brothers and sisters sincerely apologized.

That night, Qin Sanlang and the others didn't come back, so Lao Luo drove a mule cart to send them a message, saying that Qin Sanlang and the others had passed the first round of competition, and they had to compete twice more.If you lose, you will come back early. If you pass the competition, you will not be able to go home until the third day at least.

When the family members got the news, they felt a little relieved, and while thinking about Qin Sanlang and the other three, they were busy with the affairs in the workshop.

At noon three days later, five mule carts drove into Dafeng Village, and the leading mule cart was driven by Qin Sanlang.

"Brother Qin is back!" Tian Erqiang was preparing spices in the yard of his home. When he saw Qin Sanlang driving the car, he hurried out and yelled at the surroundings as a notification.

The path at the end of the village was too narrow, and Qin Sanlang was followed by four mule carts, so it was difficult to stop, so he said to Tian Erqiang: "Hey, we are back. I passed the exam with my second brother and Luo Wu brother."

Hearing this, Tian Erqiang yelled again: "Brother Qin, Brother Qin, and Brother Luo Wu have all passed the exam, and now they are officials who live in the yamen!"

Tian Erqiang was so happy. When he was in his hometown, his family was an outsider, and they lived submissively in the village.When his grandmother was still alive, he often said that if his family could have an official family member who eats in the yamen, life would be easier for the family.

Tian Erqiang has always remembered this matter, and now seeing Qin Sanlang and the others working in the county government office, he is very happy.In the future, the status of their family in the village will become higher, and the villagers will have to weigh it carefully if they want to bully them.

Jiang Jiao also came, and he was sending someone to Gu Jinli's family.

On March [-]th, Gu Jinli and the others went to Shang Xiucai's house and talked about buying someone to see the workshop.Jiang Xianwei told Jiang Jiao about this, and asked him to bring her some family members back according to Jinli's request when he went to Fucheng.
