After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 11 Gu Changping's Choice
Because he bought what he needed, Shen Jingcheng was in a particularly good mood, seeing Gu Changping smiled at him rarely.

Gu Jin also smiled blindly on the bullock cart, and even waved at him happily.

"Father, our things are all bought, have you bought the things you want to buy?"

"No, no." Gu Changping stumbled back, almost losing his mind.

After reporting to the government, he didn't see these two children and almost died of fright. If Xiao Er hadn't confirmed that the shopkeeper took them away, he would have thought that these two children had been abducted.

"Then hurry up, we've bought everything." Gu Jin said as he opened his arms for Shen Jingcheng to carry her down, and stood aside to watch him and the waiter from the iron shop start to move farm tools onto the ox cart.

Seeing the two children cuddling without any scruples, Gu Changping felt his eyes hurt. After asking which farm tools Shen Jingcheng bought, he asked Gu Dajiang to help move them together.

Not for anything else, just because my daughter will live with this dead boy in the future.

But even when Gu Changping was carrying the farm tools, his eyes were not willing to leave the calf and bullock cart, and he couldn't put it down and kept groping when moving the farm tools.

If it weren't for his family not to be frozen and hungry on the road, he would only have seven or eight taels of silver left to buy cotton-padded clothes and food, and he would like to buy all these things.

It may be that as a farmer, he naturally loves farm tools. After helping Shen Jingcheng carry all the farm tools into the cart, Gu Changping couldn't help but hold Shen Jingcheng and asked in a low voice, "How much money did you spend on the ox and the ox cart?"

"Eight taels of cattle, four taels of ox carts, a total of 12 taels." Shen Jingcheng told the price without any concealment, and there is no need to hide it, sooner or later these people will know.

"Eight taels?" Gu Changping's eyes widened in surprise. He thought the cow would cost at least ten taels, after all, it was the price in his hometown.

"Well, this cow has just turned two years old, so the price is cheap. There is also a calf that is almost three years old that costs nine taels. I don't think it is necessary to spend an extra tael of silver. I just want this little one." Shen Jingcheng He talked about everything in detail.

Gu Changping's heart was pounding when he heard it.

Nine taels, a cow that is about to grow up is only nine taels. If there is no twelve or three taels in his hometown, he can't get it. Unfortunately, he only has less than eight taels left, otherwise he would definitely buy the cow.

No, no, he still has money.

Thinking of the three taels of silver that Wang sold Gu Jin, Gu Changping suddenly trembled.

Adding those three taels, he could not only buy the cattle, but also buy a plow and other farm tools for land reclamation.

You know, manpower alone can't open up much wasteland these days, but it will be different if he has cattle and farm tools. In a few months, he can open up enough land for the whole family to plant. After planting seeds and harvesting grain in the fall, their family will no longer be hungry next winter, and even plant a little cotton, so that everyone in their family can have enough food and clothing in winter.

The prospect was so good that Gu Changping was shamefully moved, but that was the money to sell his daughter...

"Xiaocheng, how much money do you have?"

Just when Gu Changping was hesitating, a man who was jealous couldn't help but came over to ask the price.

Looking at the people walking over, Gu Changping unconsciously grabbed Shen Jingcheng's shoulder, as tight as iron tongs.

Shen Jingcheng frowned at being caught by him, looked up suspiciously, and saw that he had already taken the initiative to meet the person who came over.

"This cow is only two years old, so it's only eight taels." Gu Changping smiled brightly, and didn't mention anything except the price of the calf.

"Yo, that's much cheaper than our hometown." The visitor opened his eyes in surprise: "In our hometown, there is no such a big cow that can't be bought for ten taels?"

"That's not it." Gu Changping nodded with the same sigh, and asked him: "Brother Yang also wants to buy it? How about we invite other people to go to the horse market together?"

"Hey, I don't have anything left to buy farm tools with this little money. How can I afford cattle." The man surnamed Yang waved his hands repeatedly: "If Brother Gu wants to go and ask other people, I won't go." Join in the fun."

"If you can't afford it, can't you take a look? Let's go and have a look together." Gu Changping's enthusiasm remained undiminished, while the man surnamed Yang waved his hands again and again and left.

What to see, I can't afford dry eyes.

After he left, the enthusiasm on Gu Changping's face gradually disappeared, his eyes subconsciously avoided Gu Jin who was next to him, and he lowered his head to discuss with Shen Jingcheng: "I'm going to buy things later, come with me to see that calf. "

"Okay." Shen Jingcheng nodded, and went to the shopkeeper to pay for the farm tools.

As soon as Gu Changping opened his mouth just now, he understood that Gu Changping wanted that cow.After all, we will rely on his power in the future, so it's okay to make mutual convenience.

More than a dozen men in the iron shop were still picking farm tools, and they looked like they wanted to buy something. The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper laughed so hard that they saw Shen Jingcheng coming to pay and they readily gave him a change.

"Uncle, do you still want this book?"

As soon as Shen Jingcheng finished paying, Gu Jin walked over with a tattered book.

The cover on the book was gone, and there were traces of graffiti, as rotten as if it had been chewed by a dog.

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed when he saw the book, and then said cheerfully: "No more, if the little girl likes it, take it away."

"Thank you Uncle." Gu Jin blinked happily, and said good words as if he didn't want money: "Uncle, you are really a good person, and you will definitely be rich, rich and happy, full of children and grandchildren."

"Little girl's mouth is so sweet." The shopkeeper was in a good mood when she said it, and he slapped his thigh and said, "Come on, I still have a few books in the room that are better than this, and I gave them to you."

After speaking, he turned back and went to the backyard. After a while, he came back with a few messy books, some scribbled but still a lot of blank paper, a broken inkstone and a broken brush. up.

"It was all broken by my grandson. If you don't like it, you can take it."

"Thank you, Uncle. Uncle, you have a long life, and may you be safe and blessed." Gu Jin held things in his arms happily, and said blessings.

"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper smiled when she said it, just as Xiao Er came over and asked him to settle accounts with a man who bought farm tools, and then turned and left.

Shen Jingcheng took the book paper in her arms, and said sullenly: "Ah Jin, if you like books, I'll buy them for you in the future, okay?"

He doesn't like her smiling at others very much, and he doesn't like Ah Jin saying flattering words to others. He wants Ah Jin to straighten her waist and say what she wants without looking at people's faces. There is nothing.

"No, I don't take the imperial examination, so what are you doing buying books?" Gu Jin shook his head and refused, although he suddenly realized that he looked him up and down.

Could it be that he wants to study?
