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

Chapter 69
Chapter 69 Fang's Frenzy

"Father, in fact, the second brother's heart is not bad, but I think he has a flexible mind and knows how to be flexible. At present, it seems that he has a bottom line in doing things." Gu Chengyu persuaded.

In fact, he still has some things to say, and his second brother's interests are not involved, so he likes to turn a blind eye and close his eyes. When his interests are violated, he will fight back, even if it is to plot against his own brother, He can do it too.

Take corvee as an example, although borrowing money can offset the corvee tax, but every household has to serve corvee, and who has so much money?
Can the money really come together?If they don't make it all together, the third brother, who is only 14 years old, will have to serve in corvée, which is too much for a grown man, let alone a teenager.

He was forcing Father Gu, so that he could know how much money the Gu family had, and he could also avoid the corvee service, killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, protecting one's life wisely is something everyone will do, and the second brother also has the position of the second brother, so Gu Chengyu can't say anything.Which is right and which is wrong, just look at it from everyone's point of view!

Perhaps, he is most similar to his second brother in temperament, but he doesn't want to plot against his brother.

"Let's see it later!" Father Gu didn't want to separate, he hoped that the second child would not disappoint him.

"Old man, the meal is ready, but let's serve it now?" Mrs. Lu stood at the door of the kitchen and shouted to the main room.

Papa Gu leaned on the window and turned back, "Let's put it on! Go and call the second child back for dinner."

Gu Chengyu heard his mother calling Da Lang to tell them to come back for dinner.Father Gu and Gu Chengli were not at home today, but the farm work could not be left behind, so the second elder brother had to go to the field alone, and Mrs. Fang stayed at home for the time being to help Mrs. He cook dinner, and there was a big girl in the kitchen to help with the fire.

As soon as Mrs. Gu set the dining table for dinner, Da Ya and Fang came in with a large bowl of glutinous rice, and a large plate of nests. Gu Chengyu twitched the corners of his mouth as he looked at the large bowl of glutinous rice, which resembled modern pig food. , When can his family's food be changed?Why is it always black batter?He can't even eat a dry meal, no, he has to tell his mother tomorrow that the family has money, so there is no need to eat black dough.

After a while, I heard the voice of the second sister-in-law greeting the second brother, "Father, wash your hands quickly, there is a pig's trotter today! If you go late, it will be gone." Later, his mother was heard shouting: "Old man From the second family, if you ask you to serve dinner, you will be lazy, what's the matter? You still want my mother-in-law to serve you?"

"Mom! Didn't I see the baby's father come back? I'll just take the bowls and chopsticks." While talking, she looked at the pig's trotter in Lu's hand, it was so delicious.

Mrs. Lu didn't want to talk too much with Mrs. He, this is just being a fool, and there are important things to talk about later!No need to waste saliva, snorted, and carried it back to the main room.

Gu Chengyu saw that Mrs. Lu was holding two plates of pig's trotters on the table, one for each table, and there were pig's trotters on that table today, but it was relatively few, only a few yuan.Gu Chengyu took a closer look, woo!I really admire his mother. Originally, the pig's trotters were chopped up a bit too big, but they were all chopped into two pieces by his mother. So why should I eat them?It is estimated that eating a piece will not bite the meat.

"Have you called, everyone? Come over and eat! Eat early, I have something to announce." Gu Laopa thought about what he would announce later, so he had better eat dinner before talking, otherwise, he might not be able to eat again.

Mrs. Lu first scooped up a bowl full of everyone at the men's table, and they were all dry goods that sank below. One person took two nests, and these nests were all relatively large inside, even Gu Chengyu and others The serving size of the baby is the same.The top table was full before being served to the next table; as usual, there is one bowl for each person, but the bowl here is thinner, full of wild vegetables, and there are very few gnocchi, two nests for one person, nests Much smaller than the table above, Xiaowa has only one nest, and Dalang and the others have both.It's all done, and the pots have bottomed out. Every time Lu's cooked batter, he has a good grasp of the amount.

This kind of food sharing system made Gu Chengyu frowned. He also knew that if the whole family was allowed to eat hard, the food at home would only last for more than a month at most. It seemed that his father had to buy some The field, otherwise there is not enough food to eat, and the youngest Gu Xing is more than ten months old, and she can't even stand upright. Every day, she is thrown on the kang and let her play by herself. The big girl is also very busy. , I don't have time to look at her at all.And his sister-in-law, he felt that his sister-in-law's body was not right, and he couldn't feel her pulse yet, but he could also see that Fang's energy and blood were insufficient and she was very thin, especially after giving birth to Gu Xing, she had to work every day, It feels like the body has been hollowed out, and I have to let Dr. Li show it to me some time, grab some medicine, and follow up with food supplements.Of course, it's not easy to mention his brother-in-law, so he still has to tell his elder brother.

After a while, all the Gu family members arrived. Father Gu poked a leek with a chopstick first, and the others started to move.Gu Chengyu sipped the mush in the bowl, and while his mother wasn't paying attention, he threw a cornbread in the space, planning to distribute it to Dalang and the others later, and then add some ready-made buns from the food street in the space. I didn't pay attention to any of them, because I happened to go to the county seat today, so I said they bought it in the county seat and hid it secretly.The buns in the space were all ready-made, but before they were steamed in the steamer, there was gas inside. Gu Chengyu had already steamed the buns and put them inside for emergencies. Anyway, the underground warehouse of the space can keep them fresh.

Mrs. He has long aimed at the pig's trotters on the table, but she doesn't know why her mother-in-law is so generous today, why is there pig's trotters on this table?Although there are only a few pieces, many of them have no meat, but even if you try it, it's good!First pick two pieces of fatter ones and put them in the bowls of the two sons, and when I went to pick them up, I found that the plates were already empty, and my eyes turned around in everyone's bowls on the table, okay!It turned out that Erya had given the remaining four pieces of pig's trotters to Da Lang and Fang Shi, and the three of them were sharing them!
He didn't eat, so why not get mad? "Okay! Er Ya, your hands are fast! This elder hasn't eaten yet, so you should eat it first? A girl's film, with such a greedy mouth, be careful that she won't be able to get married." He stared at Er Er viciously. A piece of pig's trotter that has not been caught in the bowl.

Erya gave Fang's pig's trotters a pause, and then her eyes turned red.Fang's expression was rare when she heard this, "Second brother and sister, don't you know how important fame is to a girl? Why do you want to arrange our family like this?"

Mrs. He was frightened by Mrs. Fang's sudden cold face. My sister-in-law has always been face-to-face. When will she lose her temper like this?As soon as I reacted, I wanted to go back angrily.

"Okay! You can't stop after a meal, the second family, this pig's trotter is for everyone to eat, and it's not yours alone. If there is no reason, you can eat it, and others can't. Eat it quickly, I have something to talk about after dinner." Father Gu couldn't stand it anymore, who in the Gu family has a round body like the second child's?How little did she eat secretly?He babbled all day long, making his brain ache.

Seeing that his father-in-law had spoken, Mrs. He had no choice but to slurp down his drink angrily. While drinking, he made a huluhulu sound, accompanied by smacking his mouth. Seeing this, Old Gu could only shake his head.

Gu Chengyi, who was serving the table, didn't pay attention to He's affairs. His thoughts were all on the silver of the honeysuckle sold today. It is estimated that after dinner, Dad will announce how much the honeysuckle sold. There is always money!Counting the money, I also thought that there should be two more crops of honeysuckle, and the money from the corvee should be enough.
