Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 386

"Go back and tell Huang Ye, pay attention to the people of Lao Hu's family. If their family is going to dig a canal in their own field, ask someone to look at it, and don't let them get the location wrong."

The trend of the canal directly affects the drainage results. Although digging a canal is a straightforward and simple physical task, there are also skills involved. People who do not understand the method will probably cause the opposite.

Gu Qi was not afraid that the old Hu family would dig the ditches twice and flood their own fields, but he was afraid that he would dig too freely and flood other people's fields later.
-
The message was delivered to the farm outside Luoshan Village that night, and Huang Ye was a little surprised when he got the letter:

"Qiye really said that?"

The boy who sent the message nodded for confirmation: "Master Qi said so."

"Master Qi is planning to help the old Hu family."

Although Huang Ye couldn't figure out what the immediate boss was thinking, since the boss had spoken, he followed suit, and it was a good thing to be kind to others.
-
At night, in the main room of the old Hu's house, dozens of people, old and young, gathered neatly in one place, waiting for the head of the old Hu's house, Hu Yungen, to speak.

"What do you guys think about this matter?" Old Hu frowned, talking about what he saw in the farm this afternoon.

Seeing that the sons below are all hesitating and not opening their mouths, I feel angry: "If you have something to say, the boss will say it first."

"Father. I don't have any opinions." Boss Hu was named, so he had to speak, and sighed to himself why it's me again, it's unlucky to be the boss.

Of course, Boss Hu is obedient, and at the end he didn't hesitate to express his attitude: "I listen to my father, and I can do what I say."

It's the same as saying it and not saying it.

The old beard glanced at the expression of the eldest son, and he knew that what the boy was thinking and what he was saying were not the same thing.

Fortunately, this kid is quite smart, no matter how unhappy he is in his heart, he knows what to say; for this reason, the old beard still thinks that the eldest son is somewhat pleasing to the eye.

Turning to look at Hu Lao Er again: "Tell me, Er Er."

Again.

Hu Lao Er was a little impatient.

Hu Laoer has a straight temper, and he disdains to be like the boss in his heart. He is a grandfather and he can't change his face and talk like a quail in front of the old man.

I don't think it's too embarrassing for my children and grandchildren.

"Father, I don't agree with digging any nonsense ditches in our field. The seedlings in the field are all dead, so what's the use of digging this thing.

If you want me to say, we should take advantage of the fact that there is still grain to sell in the county, and get the money to buy grain as soon as possible and come back. "

"No, that money is reserved for the fourth and fifth sons to study later." The old beard said angrily.

Hu's second son also lost his temper: "Reading and studying, I haven't got a reputation after studying for so many years, and I still read a shit book, wasting money."

"Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about! If you don't study, our old Hu family will have to be a mud leg for the rest of your life." The third child came out to smooth things over.

"If you are a mud leg, you are a mud leg. What's wrong with the mud leg! Isn't our old Hu's property of more than a hundred acres of fertile land earned by being a mud leg generation after generation! You can read food by reading." Hu Laoer poked his neck and shouted.

Hu Laoer's words were stinging, and now Hu Laosan who was named was not happy: "Second brother, you can't say that.

Before the disaster, my fifth brother and I also settled accounts and wrote letters for people in the county to earn money, but we did not eat our food for free. "

"That is to say, after the disaster, there was no work in the city, and the fourth brother and I did not miss the family affairs. What does the second brother mean by saying this today?" Hu Laowu echoed.

"Why, let you do something, and wronged you golden nobles who study?"

Hu Lao Er sneered: "Just the three melons and two dates that you bring back every month are worth the expenses for studying at home?
Reading and reading, life at home is going to be difficult. Instead of pressing you to study, it is better to think about how to eat and not starve to death in the future. "

"Second, shut up!

Is Lao Tzu short of a bite from you?Have these two years made you starve to death?Let you talk this kind of nonsense with your brothers at home? "Old Hu's body trembled with anger, they are all rebellious sons!"

Hu Lao Er was reprimanded and dared not say it again, but his face was obviously still unconvinced.

At the beginning, he and the boss didn't have such a good opportunity to study. They only started working in the fields after two years of enlightenment in the village.

I have been doing this for decades, and the family has a lot of land. I and the boss are as diligent as two old scalpers and have no chance to catch their breath. After finally spending a lot of money for the family, when it is the turn of the third, fourth, When they were fifth children, they were sent to study at home.

Forget about the third child, he was getting older at the time, and after only a few years of studying, he started to go to the fields with them.

Only the fourth son and Lao Wujingui have been reading this book non-stop for more than ten years, and the money that the family has to pay him to buy pens and ink for the two of them every month is enough to support the whole family.

After spending so much money, if the fourth and fifth sons could get some merits, he wouldn't say anything.But after so many years, the fourth child is still a child, and the fifth child is not even a child.

In this way, what money is wasted.

Hu Lao Er felt that he was right. He felt that he was not the only dissatisfied with the fourth and fifth children in the family. In fact, the eldest and third children were also dissatisfied with the fourth and fifth children's studies.

It's just that the eldest is hypocritical and doesn't tell the truth, and the third is too timid to speak.Just point at him alone as a gunman.

How could the old beard not know what his son was thinking, and said angrily: "Did I only let the fourth and fifth sons study?

Although the family didn't have much money back then, I also let you and the boss go to school.It's just that neither of you is material for studying. After two years of enlightenment in the village, you can't even write big characters.

Especially you, you can't learn to be playful. I thought that since you don't like reading, you should just work earlier. If you save money at home, you can build a few houses so that you can marry a wife early.

Later, I gave birth to the third, fourth, and fifth children. Which one of me was not allowed to study?
The third child said that he was not expected to study and did not want to learn.As long as the fourth and fifth children are willing to read, the family is willing to provide for them all the time.

Not only the fourth and fifth children, but also the younger ones in the family who are willing to study, I am also willing to pay for the old man.

Now that the times are not good, the fourth and fifth children in the family take turns to teach them. When the situation improves and the school opens, let them all go to the school to study hard. "

The old beard said it, and sighed: "Second brother, even if you are worthless and don't want to study, do you think your children and grandchildren will be as illiterate as you?"

"I was born in a farmer, and I can't starve to death without studying." Hu Laoer insisted.

The second daughter-in-law, however, was in a hurry, so she hurriedly pulled Hu's second son, and said: "Father is right, there is no way to study and have a future in being a farmer. The young ones in the family are all good seedlings, so we can't delay."
