Chapter 429 Very Careful

After taking the gift list and checklist, I went to the backyard. The tarpaulin covering the cargo on the two mule carts had been lifted, and some wooden boxes and baskets for easy transportation had also been moved to the ground.

Yun Chengming is very careful.

The driver of the two mule carts that were transporting the goods from Zhoujia Village back to Qingyang County was replaced, but he asked a guard from the escort agency to come to Qinghe Village and stay there.

The stone guard, whom Gu Erzhu called Stone, pointed out the locations of the marks on the wooden boxes and baskets that Gu Dali mentioned before he came back.

In this way, you can refer to the small notes added on the list and gift list to know exactly what is inside without having to open the wooden boxes and baskets.

This is also the reason why Gu Erzhu hurriedly asked his eldest son to discuss it and did not let his eldest son come out. With so many things, he had to pick them out and then put them into the warehouse.

Those that should be kept at home should be moved back to the west wing, and those that should be taken to the workshop should be taken to the warehouse first while the mule cart is there, and they can be unpacked at any time.

Gu Dahua came very quickly.

He did not learn about Gu Wenxuan's request from Zhiming who had rushed to the workshop to inform him, but when the workshop guards entered the village from Gujiazhuang in a horse-drawn or mule-drawn carriage and turned toward Qinghe Village, a guard reported to Changqing, who then sent someone to inform Gu Dahua, asking him to come back to Gu's house to take a look.

Generally speaking, the horse-drawn and mule-drawn carriages that entered the village from Gujiazhuang basically either went directly to the workshop or turned towards Ma's house. It was rare that more than three carriages turned towards Qinghe Village.

It’s not because the road leading to Qinghe Village here is easier to travel and more convenient than entering the village from the entrance, but because there are very few horse-drawn carriages and mule carts entering Qinghe Village.

Yes, most of them were ox carts or donkey carts, and there was also a horse cart that came in from the entrance of Gujiazhuang village and then turned halfway towards Qinghe Village.

Gu Dahua also knew this, and he also learned that Gu Erzhu went to the county town this morning, so he rushed here after hearing the news, and naturally there was a place for him to use his skills.

Gu Wenxuan directly handed the list and gift list to Gu Dahua and asked the couple to make the arrangements.

With the previous experience in handling interpersonal relationships in Zhending Prefecture and Zhoujia Village, and with the guidance and training of Chang Qing and Zhou Molan, Gu Dahua and his wife were now more than capable of handling the matter.

Unlike the older son and his wife who knew their subordinates' strengths well before entrusting them with important tasks, Gu Erzhu and Liu wanted to take this opportunity to observe.

Gu Dahua respectfully took the gift list and checklist handed over by his eldest son, took two steps back, turned around, and quickly arranged the places for the two full carts of things.

Gu Dahua's family watched the whole process from the side and easily made two lists, one for the host family and the other for Mai Huang to take to the workshop to register and put into storage.

It is no wonder that Gu Dahua and his wife were picked out by their eldest son and his young couple for important positions. There was no plan for Gu Dahua to be the chief steward, but rather a candidate for a long-term attendant.

If this couple, a chief butler and a secret butler, join forces and betray their master one day, the master's family will be doomed.

but?

Thinking of Gu Dachang, whose abilities and means are not inferior to Gu Dahua, the village head who can stand on his own in the provincial capital and Zhoujiazhuang, and Gu Dali who was sent out.

What's more, the Chang couple is still selecting trustworthy people and there will be new people coming out, so Gu Erzhu is no longer worried that his eldest son and his young couple will not be able to manage the family business.

Are the young couple being stingy this time?
The gift that Mr. Zhou gave to his own brother was a favor between brothers. It has nothing to do with you two. There is no need to add to it. "...Don't say it was your idea. I really want to punish you. Is your father-in-law the same as other fathers-in-law? He helps you keep an eye on the work in your fields."

"No, Dad, it was my wife's idea. She said that the gifts she sent to her parents' home this August Festival were all messed up, and she couldn't even tell how many times she had sent them."

Mrs. Liu fell down laughing.

Thinking about how the two families had been visiting each other as if they had never put down their baskets because his daughter-in-law was pregnant, Gu Erzhu couldn't help but laugh.

"Whether it's a tiger or not, the one you two sent was a festival gift, and the others were gifts to your Yue family, which are two different things.

Go back to the house quickly, don't delay me and your mother from discussing serious matters, just tell San Ya that it was your mother and I who said that if you two don't join us, your mother and I will not accept any in-law gifts."

Gu Wenxuan nodded casually, "Okay, add a little more, too much is really not good. Putting aside the festival gifts and the return gifts, the big part is still to come.

Even before the end of the year, in two months even the farm in Yangzhou Prefecture will send people to pay a visit to their master, and they will certainly bring some of the products produced by the farm.

You and my mother do the math, if we add the farms outside Beijing and other places, and if we send a batch of gifts, can you hide it from my mother-in-law?
She doesn't know yet that my daughter-in-law has that much dowry, and I don't want her to know, which is why I agree with my daughter-in-law.

Besides, my father-in-law is a person who is useless no matter how many things he gives him. If he gets too much, he will still exchange it for money secretly. It is better to give him silver directly-"

"Alright, alright." Mrs. Liu interrupted her son before he could finish. "It is not gentlemanly to speak ill of others behind their backs. Moreover, this is your father-in-law who has treated you well. This is even more unfilial and unrighteous. You cannot even say a word of this in front of me and your father."

Gu Erzhu didn't care about whether he was a gentleman or not, but what his wife said next made a lot of sense, "Remember this, my son.

Your mother is right. No matter what you think, don't speak the truth. Especially when talking to elders, you see, Dad can only say that your grandfather is partial.

If you take into account the anger that Dad was holding back, there would be a lot of unpleasant things he said. Look at your mother, she is so smart, she was so angry that she beat up your aunt, but she didn't curse her family. "

Gu Wenxuan reacted very quickly and understood the meaning of his father's teasing of his mother - insulting Xiaotian's family was the same as insulting the old lady's family!
It made him laugh out loud.

high!
Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she patted her oldest son nearby and said, "Your father and I don't have any rules that require us to bring things into the house first, nor do we need to let your eldest brother and his wife take a look at them first.

Remember to remind San Ya when you have time to tell her to just give the order, and that future return gifts or New Year gifts should be sent directly to the workshop."

"No need to remind my wife, I can give the order. It's better to send the gifts directly to her home, and the other things can be taken there."

Gu Erzhu shook his head at Liu who was about to speak, making Liu swallow back what she wanted to say. He simply pushed his eldest son and told him to go back and do his own thing.

All that needed to be said had been said. Seeing this, Gu Wenxuan did not want to stay any longer. He followed his mother's force and said, "I'll go and do my work first. If you need anything, just let me know," and left the main room.

"Why are you stopping me?"

"You said that even if you dry your mouth, it won't work. Mother, whether it's Liu Lang or San Ya, the couple will not agree to you pulling everything over there.

You see, the Dahua family came to you to report first, and you can't tell that the two children are deliberately trying to make you the boss. Do you still want to avoid it?"
