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

Chapter 145 The fourth brother with a cold face and a warm heart

"Tomorrow, the boss will go to town with me, and we have to buy some rice and noodles. Our family doesn't have enough food. The second child will take everyone to move at home. I will ask Carpenter Sun to come over the next day, and our family should be able to move almost tomorrow. .”

"Hey! Dad!" Gu Chengli replied.

"You have to cook well for the meals of these dozen or so people. Just make nests and brown rice, but you can't make wild vegetables with black batter anymore. It's not good for working people to eat this. I don't have to let people say that my Gu family is stingy." " Gu Laopa thought for a while, and asked Lu Shi worriedly.He was afraid that Mrs. Lu would be petty at that time, so he was reluctant to cook for him.

"Do you still need to say it?" Mrs. Lu gave Gu Lao a sideways glance, she still cared about such a big matter.

"Isn't this just a few words of advice from me?" Old Man Gu took a slap in the face and could only murmur.

"Father! Is the brother-in-law still called?" Gu Chengli suddenly remembered that the last time he went to Wang's house, he forgot to tell his brother-in-law about building a house.

Old man Gu pondered for a while when he heard the words, "Hmph! If he wants to come, he will come, and if he doesn't come, it's fine. Won't Xizi tell him?"

"Are you still pointing at your good son-in-law? He didn't come when he borrowed money last time. He has the face to come to build the house this time? We have told Xizi a long time ago that the family will build a house in the next few days. I saw the couple come back to help. 18 taels of silver were thrown into the water, and there was still a noise! ​​If they said yes, their family is in this situation, can they still afford it? Don’t you want to go back to your mother’s house and ask for it for nothing? "

The Lu family got angry when Gu Chengli mentioned Wang Quanshou. The old man said that this son-in-law was honest, but she didn't see it that way at the beginning. She looked at people with evasive eyes, and honesty was honest, but she didn't have much courage.

"Isn't this still unfinished?" Regarding this son-in-law, regardless of whether he is satisfied or not, Father Gu has no choice but to defend his son-in-law for the sake of his daughter.This son-in-law, it was because he didn't think carefully at the beginning, the son-in-law is not like the boss, the boss is honest, although he is not a useful person, he is still reliable.

However, judging from the matter of borrowing money now, this son-in-law loves face too much, and even hides behind his daughter-in-law when encountering troubles. Isn't he afraid of what the troubles will be?They borrowed so much money from the Wang family, and the son-in-law didn't even say a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Did he think he should give it?
"That's right! Mother! Look at this eldest brother-in-law who even borrowed money, and asked the eldest sister to come back to borrow it. That money! I don't know when it will be repaid!" This time, Mrs. He is on Mrs. Lu's side. The eldest sister has been married for many years, and she still wants to run back to her natal family to borrow money.If I know that my mother's family has more and more money in the future, wouldn't I have to go back to my mother's house to play the autumn wind?
"Okay! Don't bring up the matter of Yinzi again. I know in my heart that this matter is a matter of life and death. After all, Xizi is also your sister, so you can't just ignore it? Don't talk about this matter in the future. There's no need for Xizi to go and tell them, it's up to them!" Father Gu didn't want to talk about these annoying things, building a house is a big deal, so he should be happy about it.

When he took out the 18 taels, he knew that Xizi's family would not be able to pay it back, but he didn't mention that he would not pay it back. He didn't want his son-in-law to take advantage of the Gu family.

Gu Chengyu knew his father's plan a long time ago, of course he knew the money, the elder sister might not be able to pay it back, it's just that his father knew it well.He and his elder sister only met each other during the holidays, and the elder sister seemed to be a little alienated from him, so he didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the elder sister's house.Of course, money will definitely be borrowed.

Gu Laopa saw that everyone at the table had almost eaten, so he asked Mrs. Lu and the others to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, so that everyone could go to bed early.

After everyone left, Father Gu looked at Gu Chengyu who was writing under the oil lamp, and said, "Xiaobao! Did you put the fungus away?"

"Yeah! Dad! I put it in the fairy's place. I'm afraid that others will find the fungus and steal them back. Tomorrow morning, let's get up early and put the fungus back on the mountain." Of course Gu Chengyu will not mention it, and will Putting the fungus into the space is to increase production, and Gu Daddy doesn't know the space, he just thinks that he can temporarily put things in the fairy's place.

"That's right! Then you get up early tomorrow." Father Gu felt relieved.

The next day, when the sky was getting dark, Gu Chengyu and Gu Laodi went up the mountain and put the dead wood where it was.Old man Gu was surprised when he saw so many fungus. He roughly estimated that it could weigh more than a hundred catties. If drying and drying, it would be at least a dozen catties, right?
"Ah! Little Treasure! There are so many? Then if our family picks them once every few days, what money do we have to worry about?" Father Gu grinned happily.

"Father! This fungus is just starting to be fresh, and you can earn some money. In the future, more people will know about it, and some restaurants will also sell fungus, so you can earn less money. It's just that fungus is divided into seasons. When I have free time at home, I look for such rotten wood on the mountain, bring it home and plant it at home, that is also an income. Although the income is not as much as before, it is still a stable business.”

Gu Chengyu saw that Old Gu was so excited, so he couldn't help pouring cold water on Old Gu. He reckoned that after sending it this time, and sending it again, other restaurants would know about the fungus, and the price of the fungus would be lower by then. It may be so high.

However, he believed that Shopkeeper Liang would not be so stupid as to put the whole fungus into soup or stir-fry. If the fungus was cut into thin strips, he might not be able to guess what material it was made of in a short time. People in Yan Dynasty should have never eaten fungus.

"Ah? That's right. How is it possible for our family to keep earning so much money? I'm already very satisfied to earn so much." Father Gu felt a little regretful at first, but he let go after a while. To be able to earn so much was something he never dared to imagine before.

Gu Chengyu pulled Papa Gu down the mountain. It was still dark at this time, so there was no one on the path.

"Father! The fourth brother seems to be very busy recently. He has already started learning from Li Langzhong?" Gu Chengyu remembered that he seemed to have not cared about the fourth brother's affairs for several days.

"Li Langzhong is teaching your fourth brother to learn calligraphy recently, but your fourth brother is not young after all, and learning is still a bit difficult at this time." Father Gu remembered that the fourth brother had settled down, and thought that the third brother was still farming at home!When the house is finished, let the baby's mother entrust a matchmaker to find a marriage for the third child.

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, "Then why didn't I see the fourth brother come back to practice calligraphy and read books? If he doesn't know how to do it, you can ask me! We are both just beginners, so the books we read should be about the same."

"Isn't this afraid of disturbing your studies? The four of you all came back after studying at Li Langzhong's house." Although the fourth child rarely talked on weekdays, he had nothing to say to his family. He also advised the fourth child Studying with Xiaobao, you can ask if you don't know it, but the fourth child just refuses, saying that Xiaobao is going to take the imperial examination, so you can't disturb Xiaobao.

Gu Chengyu was a little touched. The fourth brother has always been so considerate of others. He looks taciturn on the surface, but in fact he is always silently caring about others. He is the type with a cold face and a warm heart.
