Splendid pastoral, the doctor girl is a little sweet

Chapter 28 Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves
Xu Tai proposed, and naturally no one objected.

After hearing this, Gu Yingying thought to herself: Waiting to help the family and fellow villagers, it is not impossible to collect the millet, and then go out to rent a house to sell pastries.

After collecting the millet, there is still a period of time until the Chinese New Year.During this period, I always have to find a way to go out to earn some silver, buy some food and prepare it, so that I and my family can feel more at ease.

Anyway, the grain harvested this year is not allowed to be sold. She asked why, but neither her father nor sister Xinlan gave an answer.

I had no choice but to not ask.

Go to Jinxia City and rent a small house, as long as you can live in it.A monthly rent of three or four taels of silver, and some firewood money to the landlord, lends the landlord's kitchen to be used for making pastries and selling them.

Otherwise, going back and forth to Fucheng and home every day, riding a horse back and forth, both people and horses suffer.

Human energy is limited, it is more convenient to rent a house in Fucheng.

There is a lot of firewood at home, but she just wants to keep it for her family.

When I go to the city to rent a house, make cakes and sell them, I will save more money, and then I will also buy a shop in the city and a house on the East Street.

Let the seductive Yin Yuejiao and the others see that she, a country girl, is not comparable to those trash like them.

While thinking about making money, Gu Yingying heard Xu Tai's voice:
"Big guy, if you want to buy something, just tell Da Lang so that he can help bring it back. Early tomorrow morning, the soldiers of the Imperial Army will come to guard it. We live in a few villages by the Lan River , can’t go out for the time being.”

Gu Yingying took a deep breath, the air here is very fresh, and the people are living well, so why should they block everyone in the village?

Don't let her go out, after she has harvested the millet, how can she make pastries and sell them to make money?
She looked at Xu Tai with an inquiring look in her eyes, trying to find the answer from his expression.However, I found that when the old man said this, it was as if he was telling everyone that he would rest at home tomorrow.very calm.

Turning his attention to his father and Xu Shibo, he saw that these two elders were also calm and composed just like Xu Tai.

Back then, when she was dragged out of the house by Mrs. Jia, rushed to the royal rice fields to harvest, and was whipped by the government servants with whips.When the father saw it, his eyes were full of pity and self-blame.

But at this moment, she asked her father with her eyes:
Did you already know about this?

Nor did she see her father give her any hints.

In desperation, he had no choice but to look away, like his father and the others, with a calm face.

"I don't have anything to buy. But when my family harvests some millet, I have to send some to relatives far away in Fucheng, so that they can also eat some. Besides, it will be winter in a while, and I Bring them some charcoal so they don't get cold in winter."

There are five ox carts in the family, and the three sons rely on driving to earn some silver to support the family. They also help the villagers on weekdays. Father Zhu, who brings gifts to relatives and friends in Fucheng, said helplessly to Xu Tai.

Xu Tai looked at Father Zhu with serious eyes, and said:

"We in Gujiazhuang sell all the grain we harvest this year to me. As for the price, it will be five cents more than the price offered by those vendors. Your family also has a lot of land, so don't even think about giving it away."

After all, Dad Zhu has experienced some things. When he heard it, he smiled knowingly and agreed.

"okay."

Several folks in their thirties still asked, but were persuaded by their respective elders.

Gu Qingfeng asked the villagers to eat at home, but the villagers all said that meals were prepared at home.

Gu Yingying could tell that they were embarrassed to stay for dinner after learning the news that they could not sell grain.So I took the initiative to go forward to persuade the villagers to have dinner together.

The kind invitation finally made the folks stay and have dinner at home.

It's just that the folks only eat vegetables and don't drink alcohol.Even if it was the rice wine brewed by Qin himself, no one drank it.

Almost everyone in the village knows how delicious the wine made by the Qin family is.

Seeing that they didn't drink, Gu Yingying guessed that this might have something to do with not being able to leave the village tomorrow.When sober, you know you can't say some things; but if you get drunk after drinking alcohol and spit out the truth, it's not good.

night.

Gu Yingying packed up the dishes, went back to the room, took a shower, and lay on the bed thinking about things.

Hearing a soft knock on the door, he stepped forward to open the door, and said to Zhu who was standing at the door, "Please come in quickly, I can't sleep either."

After returning from the yamen, I saw that the second sister-in-law always pretended to be happy in front of people, but she looked sad behind her, and felt very heartbroken for the second sister-in-law.

But it will take a few days for the second brother to be released. Although the original owner caused this matter, she can't help the second brother.

"Sister, although I didn't come back in the same bullock cart as you, I heard from my mother that you want to go to Fucheng to rent a house and sell food." Mrs. Zhu sighed helplessly and asked:
"What's wrong with you?"

Gu Yingying shook her head, wanting to say, this matter is not easy to handle for the time being.But before he could say anything, he heard Zhu's words again:
"Although you and your second elder brother did some wrong things this time, causing your parents to sell a lot of food and compensate the villagers. But those silver taels, we will earn back soon. Your daughter Home, going out alone, how worrying is it?"

"Second sister-in-law, let's not mention this matter for now. Anyway, starting tomorrow, we can't go out casually, and it's useless to talk about it." When Gu Yingying thought that all the grain this year had to be sold, she was thinking about the millet. worry about things.

Food in Fucheng is not expensive, but it is really difficult to buy this year's new rice.

Some of the millet I saved before was sold again.I don't know if relatives come to pay New Year's greetings to family members after the Chinese New Year, can they serve them rice?

Zhu Shi looked at Gu Yingying's fair face by the light of the oil lamp, and found that her sister-in-law had her thoughts written on her face, and understood what her sister-in-law was worried about.

In fact, after returning from the yamen, she overheard what her in-laws said by accident.

It was the father-in-law who said that this year's grain cannot be sold.If you want to sell it, you can only sell it to Father Xu.

The mother-in-law was silent for a long while before she said: "Should it be sold to the person above? During these years, Father Xu has generously donated money for the villagers. Any reward, where is the spare money to collect food?"

"It's good that you understand it in your heart, why bother to say it?" the father-in-law said softly to the mother-in-law:

"I heard Brother Xu and the others said that they donated all the grain they harvested this year. I also told Father Xu that I will not sell old millet to them, and I will not embarrass the people of our Gujiazhuang!"

"Even if I donate all this year's food, I won't say anything wrong with you. It's just...you are old, and although Jie'er is married, he has no heirs. People with families should accompany their wives." We snatched Ying'er back from the underworld, no matter what people say about her, in my eyes, she will always be our good girl."

The mother-in-law's words revealed a sense of pleading, "So no matter what the future holds, as the head of the family, you can't leave us for half a step, let alone take Jie'er out."
