Chapter 90 Snow

Several families were very happy when they heard this figure: "I can earn more than 500 Wen in one day, which is equivalent to a strong laborer's salary for a month."

Several men worked odd jobs when they were in their hometown. They worked hard every month and lost half of their lives, and they only earned five hundred pennies at most. For example, Uncle Tian had no skills and could only fight sacks. Yes, only three hundred cents a month.

Therefore, when he heard that his family could get 530 nine coins in one night, Uncle Tian was so excited that his hands shook, and Aunt Tian even wiped away tears, and said to Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, Auntie would like to thank you, if there is no tofu you made , Our family’s life is simply unbearable.”

Gu Jinli smiled and said: "Thank you, everyone in this tofu business has contributed."

Making tofu and selling tofu is too laborious and complicated, and it is impossible for her to do it alone.Moreover, her family has many women and children, and the village is not very safe. If she wants to protect her family, she has to get together with a few families. If something goes wrong, she can also have a helper.

Chen shi couldn't care about being moved, staring at the pile of copper coins with green eyes, rubbing his hands and asking, "Sanbo, shall we... divide the coins?"

What are you talking about?Quickly split the money and let her touch it is serious.

The third grandpa knew that everyone was poor, so he said, "Okay, let's divide the money according to Ange's calculation. But each family must leave a hundred wen as the principal."

Several families agreed that the family left one hundred cash and only took 430 nine cash.

Gu Jinli's family accounted for [-]% of the profits, and they needed to keep [-] pennies. In this way, the capital reserved by the few of them was a tael of silver, which was enough to operate the tofu stall.

The capital of these two pieces of silver is held by the third grandfather, and Gu Jinan's bookkeeping book is also handed over to the third grandfather for safekeeping.

After finishing, the third grandfather pointed to the basket in the house and said, "I bought seven bowls of glutinous rice balls, and your family will take a bowl back. Let's have a good Lantern Festival."

"Hey." Mrs. Chen was the most rude, and immediately ran to the basket, picked out the largest bowl of glutinous rice balls, brought the child, and went home with Gu Dagui and Gu Dafu.

Several other families also took the dumplings.

Qin Sanlang took the silver money and the dumplings, and went back to Qin's house with Mr. Qin. As soon as he entered the house, he heard Qin Erlang's sarcasm: "You help those mud-legged people do this and that, and you get a bowl of lumps. Fallen dumplings?"

Old Qin frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Erlang Qin's words.

Qin Sanlang didn't care, he said with a smile: "Second brother, third grandpa bought the dumplings, I took it to the stove to warm it up, and the three of us will sleep after eating dumplings."

"What the third grandfather, even a mud leg is worthy of calling you and me grandpa!" Qin Erlang was very excited, stepped forward, snapped, knocked off the dumplings in Qin Sanlang's hand, looked directly at him, and said angrily: "Don't forget yourself The identity of the Qin family, your ancestors of the Qin family made achievements, not to make you a scumbag, you have simply lost the face of the ancestors of the Qin family!"

"Erlang, have you made enough trouble?" Qin Lao finally couldn't help scolding Qin Erlang.

Qin Erlang ignored Old Qin, went back to the room angrily, slammed and closed the door.The door was in disrepair for a long time, and most of the wood was rotten. When he smashed it so hard, a piece of rotten wood fell.

Taking advantage of the light of the fire in the main room, Qin Saburo looked at the dumplings scattered all over the floor. It was a pity that he took a broom and a dustpan outside the door, cleaned the dumplings, and washed the dirty wooden bowl.

Qin Lao came to the kitchen, poured a pot of hot water for Qin Sanlang, let him burn his feet, and said, "Sanlang, don't worry about it, Erlang didn't mean to tell you."

He added: "You did the right thing, we have to get along with the Gu family now." Only in this way, outsiders will not doubt their identities.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I don't blame the second brother... He's just not reconciled." Qin Saburo smiled lightly: "Our Qin family was originally from a mud-legged family. If I go back to being a mud-legged man, there is nothing to be ashamed of."

When Old Qin heard this, he was very sad when he looked at Qin Sanlang who was sitting in the kitchen washing his feet. If...

……

The atmosphere of Qin's house is not very good, but Gu Jinli's house is very warm.

Their family of six and three grandparents and three grandmothers warmed up two bowls of glutinous rice balls, and the eight people shared it.Although one person can only get two glutinous rice balls, the thick sesame fragrance in the glutinous rice balls makes them very happy.

After the family ate the dumplings and soaked their feet in hot water, they couldn't stand the sleepiness any longer, and went back to the house to sleep.

Before dawn, Gu Jinli woke up from the cold, and she muttered, "Why is it so cold?"

Gu Jinxiu was adding firewood to the fire in the house. Seeing that she was awake, she hurriedly said, "Xiaoyu, quickly cover the quilt, it's snowing outside."

"It's snowing?" Gu Jinli was very surprised, got up and put on cotton-padded shoes and ran to the door. He saw the third grandfather and the third grandmother standing inside the door, looking out, and through the half-open door, he saw Looking outside the house, I saw the snow falling from the sky, covering the whole yard: "It's really snowing."

The third grandmother choked and said, "Yes, it's snowing. When the snow falls, you won't have to worry about spring plowing."

They fled the desert all the way. There was no rain or snow in the places they passed, only a thin layer of hoarfrost. She had always been worried, for fear that the drought would continue. Now that it is snowing, the drought can be slowed down.

Because of the snow, Gu Dashan and Gu Jinan got up to chop firewood and make a fire, and after the house was warmed up, the family went back to sleep.

When Gu Jinli woke up again, it was already white outside, and the snow had already reached his ankles.

The third grandfather and Gu Dashan are sweeping snow on the roof, lest the snow will crush the old house.

The rest of the family were also shoveling snow, clearing a path from their yard to the old well.

Because of the snow, I couldn't sell the stall today, so the third grandfather called a few men over to discuss the land reclamation.

Dafeng Village is very large, divided into front village and back village. With the village as the center, the area of ​​five miles in radius is within the scope of Dafeng Village. The fields of Dafeng Village people are generally nearby.

In the few days of Chinese New Year, the third grandfather and a few men had already wandered around the nearby places, and they came across the wasteland on the left side of Hou Village.

"That piece of wasteland is big and the soil quality is okay. It's better than the wasteland in our hometown, and it's close to where we live. Let's go and tell the village chief today that our family will go to that piece of wasteland to open up wasteland after the spring."

Several men were thinking about farming, and after hearing what the third grandpa said, they went to the village chief's house together.

Because of the snow, the village chief's family was all at home. He Dacang's daughter-in-law opened the door for them. After seeing half a piece of cotton cloth and two packs of caramel in the basket they were carrying, she smiled and said, "How many of you are here to find your father-in-law? The old man is here, come in."

He Dacang's daughter-in-law took them to the door of the main house where the village chief lived. After shouting to the inside, he took the gift brought by the third grandfather and turned away.

"The old man of the Gu family is here, come in quickly." He Dacang came out to pick them up and led them into the house.

Inside the house, Village Chief He, wrapped like a cotton ball, sat on a Taishi chair, facing the brazier to bake a fire. When he saw them coming, he said, "It's for wasteland development."

Qin Gu, Luotian's family went to see the wasteland, he knew.
