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

Chapter 268

In ancient times, the country gentry and landlords hired long-term workers or tenants because they had a lot of land at home.

"Still buying people? What are you doing with the money? Your father and I are not old yet! If you can still do something, why don't you find a few old crop handles in the village and promise to help you take care of the fields."

Father Gu stared, he knew that Gu Chengyu was capable of earning money, but the habit of buying people every now and then was not good, in fact, this was because he hadn't changed his mentality from being a farmer.

Mrs. Lu was also very happy with Gu Chengyu's purchase of the land, and she persuaded: "Listen to your father, he is still young! He can still do it, so he won't have to wander around the house all day!"

Gu Chengyu knew that Father Gu would say that, he originally bought the land for entertainment for Father Gu, and when he heard his mother say the same, he immediately laughed.Suddenly, I thought of Aunt Wang. I remembered that Old Gu mentioned that the man in Aunt Wang's family was very honest in his work, so I could ask him for help.

"Father! If you want to find someone, you might as well find Aunt Wang's uncle. I think he is very diligent in his work. Besides, Aunt Wang helped our family a lot before, so you can ask him to work in our house. Every month Some money, anyway, there is a lot of work in the field, and it saves him from looking for work outside."

In fact, it is very hard to find a job outside. The farmers have no skills or literacy, so they can only find some coolies.It is better to work in the fields in the town to resist the package. The busiest time in the fields is only two or three months, and there is not much work to do after that.

"It's fine to hire someone when you're busy, why don't you support them when you don't work?" The Lu family didn't have the concept of a year-round contract and being there at any time as in modern times. She only knew that this would save a lot of money.

"Mother, if we buy land, our family will have more than a hundred acres, and we will have a lot of work! Our family will not suffer! Besides, it is impossible for others to be there at any time! Why don't you give monthly money, just pay every month. It's like a long-term worker."

"I think this is fine. We have a lot of work in the field. It's okay to hire two long-term workers, and the rest are temporary jobs!" Gu Lao thinks that long-term workers are still a good deal, so he can't call two that is.

"Then you and your father should discuss it." The Lu family has the same characteristics as all ancient women. They generally regard their husbands as their gods. Since the head of the family and her son have made a decision, she, a woman, will generally not object.

Seeing that the business was over, Gu Wan interrupted, "Then Xiao Bao is a landlord!"

"That's right! I'm still saving your dowry!" Gu Chengyu said with a smile, making Gu Wan blush again.

After Gu Chengyu and Gu Wan returned to the room, Mrs. Lu told about the second child and Wang Yueniang.

"What? How is this possible? Don't you get it wrong?" In Gu's father's impression, Gu Chengyi is good at calculating, and Wang Yueniang is not a fairy. Does Gu Chengyi know that such a woman is untouchable?How did these two get together?
"Everyone has seen it. He still goes to other people's houses in broad daylight! Others have done such a shameful thing and know how to hide it, but he is good, as if everyone doesn't know about it." Lu Shi once mentioned The second child is full of anger, the second child and the family members of the second child are the most cunning, often acting like monsters, and the family has been separated, and it doesn't stop.

Seeing Lu's swearing, old man Gu felt that it might be true, "No wonder I don't see my second child very often recently, and I don't see him picking up his wife back. I think it's true in all likelihood. .”

"Then there can be fakes?" Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes, expressing her deep disdain for Gu's unacceptable appearance.

"Is the second child at home? Didn't you mean to pick up his wife?" Father Gu stood up and was about to go to the second room to look for the second child, but suddenly remembered that the second child said yesterday that he had gone to He's house to pick up his wife, but he didn't look at it today. Seeing the two of you, have you not come back yet?
"I didn't see it anyway, who knows where he picked someone up?" Mrs. Lu also couldn't understand the Erfang Zong's cold pot and cold stove.

Father Gu ran to the yard to have a look, and found that there was no one in the second room.

"Boss, are you in the house? Come to the main room after dinner." Father Gu yelled at the eldest room. At this time, Gu Chengli should be having lunch.

"Hey! Dad, come here!" Gu Chengli hurriedly responded when he heard his father calling.After thinking about it, I thought it was to discuss the banquet at home.

"Father! You called me?" Gu Chengli walked in with big strides. His father usually wouldn't call him when he was fine.

"Ah! Did the second child say yesterday that he was going to He's house to pick up his wife?" When the boss and the second child were talking yesterday, he heard something.

"Yeah! It's strange, why hasn't the second child come back yet? He rarely stays overnight at He's house." Gu Chengli also felt strange, he felt that the second child was not quite right recently.

"Then as soon as he comes back, tell him to come to me, and tell him that I have something to talk to him about." Father Gu frowned, both of them are worried!

"Okay! By the way, father, when is the banquet scheduled for this time?"

"On the [-]th, you go to the houses of the people you are close to in these two days and ask them to come and have a drink that day." Gu Chengyu's entourage will prepare the things to buy for the banquet, and you only need to find a few women to help.

Gu Chengli agreed, and turned around to go out.

"Oh! On the [-]th day, the family that Mr. Li introduced was going to come to visit. You also come over, call your wife, and come over to recognize the person!" Old Gu thought of the meeting on the [-]th day, and came When the time comes, the woman, Fang can also help take care of her.

"Hey! Dad, then I'll go back and talk to his mother, and ask her to come and help earlier that day!" Gu Chengli happily agreed, and the fourth child has also reached the age of talking about a wife.Talking about getting married this year, if you can get married next year, my father has also forgotten his mind.

"There is a mother-in-law at home, so I don't need you, just come and sit!" Father Gu didn't ask his daughter-in-law to come over to work, but as a sister-in-law, he still had to show up.

After Father Gu finished speaking, he looked at Gu Chengli and saw that the clothes on his body were all torn and had been patched several times, and he frowned.

"Dress brightly that day. You didn't have no money after the separation. Why are you still dressed so poorly? If you have time, ask your wife to go to the cloth shop to pull some cloth and make some clothes. I think big girl They don't even have any decent clothes, they are all big girls, although they are not boys, but after all they have some wealth in the family, don't be reluctant!"

Papa Gu looked at his eldest son's tanned face and sighed.Originally, his family was poor, so he had to make calculations, but now that life is easier, he has no choice but to deal with the temperament of the eldest husband and wife, who are reluctant to even take off their clothes.

"Hey! Isn't this work? The clothes are a bit worn out. The last time Xiaobao came back, he brought some material. His mother did it, so he didn't want to wear it. I won't embarrass you that day."

Gu Chengli was also embarrassed by his father. Although the family had a lot of money and could share it at the end of the year, he could tell that Dalang was studying. way out.All the money has to be saved, and the three daughters are getting married, so there must be some dowry, right?
