The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 123 Lu's Maiden's Family

In the end, Gu Chengyu and Gu Laodi carried a large pile of fabrics and got into the bullock cart. Gu Laodi felt his heart throbbing in pain. This prodigal child actually spent two or eight renminbi.

Full of resentment, Old Gu drove the ox cart to Carpenter Sun.Carpenter Sun's family lived in Dayang Village, two villages away from Shangling Village. Father Gu had already made an appointment with Carpenter Sun, and Si Shichu was waiting for him at the entrance of Dayang Village.

When the bullock cart arrived at the entrance of Dayang Village, Gu Chengyu saw a man about the same age as Uncle Gu standing at the entrance of the village.When the man saw Papa Gu who was driving the car, he waved quickly.Xiao Pao took a few steps forward, "Brother Gu, you are here! Let's go!"

Carpenter Sun got into the ox cart, saw Gu Chengyu and the cloth sitting in the ox cart, and then he praised Gu's father for his good fortune along the way, his life was getting better and better, his son was also smart and handsome, and he heard that Gu Chengyu was in town He went to the private school he went to, and even praised Gu's father's house, as if it was already the landlord's house.

Gu Chengyu learned from their conversations that Carpenter Sun is the only craftsman who builds houses in several villages in this area, but he has several apprentices who work with him, and a group of people follow him.Farmers usually build houses with mud bricks and thatched roofs, and they don't need craftsman Sun. They can be built with a few relatives and villagers.

As for the green brick and tile houses, craftsmen have to be hired, and this has to be planned in detail.

The ox cart soon entered Shangling Village. Carpenter Sun looked around at Gu's house and the yard next door. He was also surprised when he heard that Mr. Gu was going to build a house for two people.When they went to the main room to discuss with Gu Daddy, they were even more surprised when they saw Mrs. Lu coming out of the kitchen.

"Hey? Isn't this Taoer? This is your house?"

"Uncle Sun, it's my house! I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are still doing this business? Brother Sun didn't do this business with you?" Mrs. Lu was not surprised to see Carpenter Sun. After all, if he wanted to build a house, he could only She was already mentally prepared to find Carpenter Sun's family.

"Hey! I haven't seen you for many years. Why don't you go to see your parents? They have missed you these few years!"

Gu Chengyu listened to the two talking about the old days, and then remembered that he had been here for almost five years, and he had never seen his grandfather or grandmother. That uncle made his mother feel badly, and when his father rarely mentioned it, his mother would scold him. The other party has a meal.

"They miss me? Then why don't they come to see me? That year when I went back in the second year of junior high school, my elder brother and sister-in-law kicked me out. I swore at that time that I would never go to his house again." angry.

"Hey! Your brother and the others shouldn't! But your mother and the others are still good to you. Forget it! Let's not talk about what happened back then, let's talk about the business!" Carpenter Sun also felt a little sorry for the Lu family. Before being sold, the boss of his family still wanted Mrs. Lu to grow up and marry her as his wife.

"I also heard that someone from the Gu family wanted to build a house. I didn't expect it to be your family. You are also a lucky one. Good times are yet to come!" There are quite a few people in the Gu family. , and some other collateral families also live in Shangling Village.

Craftsman Sun didn't think too much about it, because that year when Mrs. Lu came to pay New Year's greetings, but was kicked out by his elder brother and sister-in-law, there was a lot of rumors in the village.After his brother-in-law's publicity, everyone knew that Mrs. Lu married a widower whose family was poor and had a few children.

But now the family Lu married, is this about to get up?Otherwise, why would you want to build such a big house?Even though Lu's complexion is still rosy, and he doesn't look old at all, it is conceivable that life is going well.In fact, Carpenter Sun didn't know that if he had met Lu Shi a few years ago, Lu Shi would not be what he looks like now. Today's Lu Shi is naturally younger because of the nourishment of the Lingquan.

"That was all a few years ago, so let's not talk about it now! Uncle Sun, come and drink a bowl of tea. There is nothing to entertain you at home. Why don't you stay and have lunch before going back." Since she is from her mother's village, I also watched her grow up since she was a child, so she must keep food.

"No! I have to think about the topography of your house when I go back. Tomorrow, I will calculate how much money it will cost to buy blue bricks and tiles for your house. You can see if you buy it yourself, or I will wrap it up, it's up to you .Since it is from a village, of course I won’t take any extra money from you.”

Gu Chengyu heard that what Carpenter Sun meant was that if he made a round package, he would not make a difference in the price of the materials, or he would not quote more money.

"Since you and his mother are from the same village, we can trust you. This brick kiln is also opened by your family. It's better to ask Brother Sun to make a round together. However, it will be cheaper for Brother Sun to give us."

"Hey? Why are you so old! This is the whole thing. Don't worry, the brick kiln belongs to my second brother's family, and it will be cheaper to keep it for your family." Craftsman Sun was happy when he heard Baoyuan.There are three brick kilns in Shanhe Town, and it is rare for farmers to build brick and tile houses, so the business of the second brother's family is not good.

"This? You're really a generation behind! Why don't I call you Uncle Sun?" Father Gu was also a little embarrassed, as his niece and son-in-law were also a little old.

"Well, let's call everyone uncle! Taoer, then uncle will leave first." Carpenter Sun planned to go back and notify his second brother's house to burn the bricks quickly, otherwise it would be too late.

"Then I won't keep my uncle here anymore. We will build a house in the future and have more opportunities to eat together."

Father Gu led the ox cart that had not been unloaded to the yard again, took off all the cloth from the ox cart, and asked Mrs. Lu to put it away.He was going to drive Carpenter Sun back in an ox cart.

When Mrs. Lu saw so many cloths, she was also startled, and then felt sorry for Yin Zi, but since Carpenter Sun was still there, she had to suppress her doubts and anger, and sent the two of them out of the courtyard with a smile.

"Little Treasure! Why did you buy so much cloth? But you spent a lot of money?" Mrs. Lu stopped Gu Chengyu who was about to sneak out, ready to question her.

"Mom! Our family hasn't made new clothes for a long time. When I went out last month, I heard people joke that our family is poor and can't afford cloth. Isn't the third brother going to say kiss? Can you make a decent one? Clothes?" Gu Chengyu was caught by Lu Shi, so he had to turn around and explain to Lu Shi.

Mrs. Lu also feels sorry for her sons who have no clothes to wear. The clothes are too small, and they are reluctant to buy them. Usually, when they are too small, they attach a piece of cloth that looks similar in color to the side of the clothes and trouser legs.With a sigh, forget it!It is also rare!
The lotus-colored one was for Wan'er to make a dress for. Since the last time this girl asked her for it, she flatly rejected it, and she never mentioned it again since then.Sometimes when the baby is sensible, it also makes the mother feel distressed.

Huh?No!How can I buy so much fabric?Seeing the corner of his clothes disappearing outside the courtyard gate, Mrs. Lu became annoyed for a while, and was given the ecstasy soup by this kid again.No, when his father comes back, he must be scolded. Xiaobao is a child, of course he doesn't know how to save money, but the old man is so big, how can he spend money recklessly?This is all the money Xiaobao earned!
