Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 167
Yinzi Guyu didn't share with Chen Yongyu's family, but only gave 30 taels to Zhao Shi.

Zhao Shi tried his best to refuse, saying that the family is passable now, but having this money is not as important as Gu Yu's family building a tile-roofed house, because there is always a place to stay.

Hearing what he said meant that he didn't want it, and several people couldn't persuade him.It was An Jinxuan who came up with an idea, "The whole batch of jars is not money? And you help buy caramel, after all, you also have a middleman's money. Isn't this batch of small jars also your money? These are not counting your running back and forth in the village in the city, after all, you still suffer a bit."

After Zhao Shi heard so much, he couldn't find any reason to refute. Instead, he insisted, "Anyway, it can't be counted as so much, so it's a shame."

An Jinxuan said, "What's there to be ashamed of? How about you look at this? Just the ones I counted at least have a few dozen taels, and the rest we will make a deposit for next year's pot. What do you want? Helping us make so many jars, each of which is different in size, is naturally a bit more expensive. If it doesn’t work then it will be our cost. Anyway, it’s not what we call it. If it works, let’s figure it out next year. , Anyway, it’s all our own people.”

Zhao Shi didn't say anything, and assured him, "Don't worry, there will be a good jar for you to use next year."

Xu Qinshi was a little cheerful at the side, "Oh, brother Jin is now a family with us, but I don't know what kind of family it is."

In this way, everyone's thoughts are a little more complicated, and they snickered there.An Jinxuan raised his eyebrows and grinned happily.Gu Yu saw it, how could he behave like this before, most of the time he turned his head coldly and walked away.

240 taels of silver, in addition to the 30 taels distributed to Zhao Shi, Gu Yu remembered the remaining 240 taels very clearly. In the jar, she also calculated the accounts clearly, and wrote them in a small book bound by herself, with the numbers recorded on it.

For example, tonight, according to Li Dejiang, today I will have a meal with Li He, uncle, parents and four aunts. The money for the meal is naturally paid by Gu Yu's family. Anyway, I still have a little money on hand. How to eat, how much can a meal cost, a few hundred dollars is enough.

The things were bought by Li Dejiang and Li Dequan together. The Jiang family, the Xu family, the Wang family, etc. were there to discuss whether they should eat here or there. Saying that I don't need the place in my home is just cheaper for outsiders. Another reason is that Li He has always had a gap with Wen, and it doesn't make sense after saying it a few times, and I can't force it anymore.

So everyone discussed and decided, after the chicken, duck, fish, mushrooms, fungus and other seasonal vegetables are bought, leave a portion here for Wen's three to eat, and take the rest over there.For this reason, Mrs. Wang and the others also persuaded Mrs. Wen, fearing that she might have something in her mind, and they just said something, which proved that this worry was unnecessary.

Mrs. Jiang gave Xu's and Wang's a hand, "Let's go, the old things these days are also meritorious. Let's not mention the past for now. Xia Zhi and the twins are taken care of very well."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu also shook her head, "I think it's better to build a house. Li Qiu is going to get engaged. I stay at home every day to prepare a dowry, but I can't stay here. I throw the embroidered stretchers in the bamboo basket. I don’t know how to put it away, Xiaohan almost scratched his hand.”

Only then did Jiang smirk, "Look at you, you used to be able to endure everything but you were like a log, but now you can't even get a grain of sand in your eyes. You almost said that if it wasn't for his grandma watching, Maybe it’s already scratched, right? Since she didn’t lie to you, she told you so, so there’s nothing else to worry about. It’s not the right time for the house, the rice needs to be harvested, and the thresher We have to do business, and we still have to plant rice seedlings, let’s talk about it when we’re done with all this work, and we’ll have to endure it for a few months, so what’s the point.”

Xu also felt that she was thinking too much, "Hey, if we go back to the old days now, I really don't know how to bear it."

Listening, Mrs. Wang interjected, "At that point, it is natural to have that way of life. There are only blessings that cannot be enjoyed, and there is no suffering that cannot be endured."

Mrs. Xu sighed, "Gu Yuniang, you are very convincing. You lived a good life before. After this bastard came back, he lived in that kind of house, and he couldn't even get food, but you have those children. It's good, these days can only be passed and the better. Jingzhe, I can see that I can make a difference, and I will be admitted to a juren or something in the future, and you will be the wife of the official family!"

Wang Shi shook her head with a smile, all kinds of feelings were rolling in her heart, and she didn't say anything more.

Li Heshi was naturally happy to see a few people coming here, and the ones who took this and that took them as if they were guests.Mrs. Zhang came over to talk with a smile, and said after a while that she was going to cook.Mrs. Chen didn't leave. She was beating around the bush to find out how much money she had earned. She also said that she heard that Qiao'e and Zhao Shi had also split up a little. Divide the meaning.

This was heard by Gu Yu and Xiao Man who had just arrived, and they didn't really want to enter the door. One of the two sisters was beaten here by Li He when they were young, and the other carried a stick to the yard to quarrel. Anyway, it's been a long time. Not comfortable on this end either.

Hearing Chen's insinuations, Gu Yu laughed, "Fourth Aunt, that's money for the jar money and caramel for my little aunt's house, why don't you give me the money? Even if you want to take advantage of your relatives, why don't you give it to me?" How shameless!"

This last sentence is very heavy, Gu Yu said it specially for Chen Shi, Chen Shi didn't say anything after hearing it, and went to help sister-in-law cook with laziness.Xiao Man muttered, not knowing what to provoke again.

Jiang and the others didn't need to do anything for the time being, they held Li He's food in the box, "This food is very delicate, it's crispy and not greasy, it tastes delicious, just look at it." It’s hard to do it, it’s really laborious to go around so many circles for something as big as a finger. Granny Gu Yu, it’s thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to eat it.”

Li He was so flattered by Jiang that he became a flower, but he said, "It's not a small filial piety."

Xiaoman hugged Dahan and said: "It's not my uncle's wish!"

The face of the person who was talking was dry, and he didn't know how to speak, and the few men who happened to have returned from the town.

Li Dejiang put down the things he was carrying on his shoulders, and Mrs. Xu went to pick them up.Everyone listened to Li Dejiang talking, "Jing Zhe and Jinxuan went to Buzhuang to have a look. I really feel sorry for not going for so many days, and the private school where Jing Zhe studied, each sent a small jar of peach sauce to Gu Yu. I gave it away before, and this time we also gave it away, your master is thinking about you, and told you to go when you are free."

Dequan went on to say, "Also at the other side of the restaurant with my brother, I don't know how busy it is, but there is no sign of anyone, and the bean curd in front of the door is no one to deliver, and the shopkeeper is so busy that his heels are spinning. Come back with your stuff.”

After finishing speaking, Li Dequan was going to kill chickens and fish, and explained that the bones and sticks should be stewed first, and the remaining mushrooms and the like should be bought back.

Chen Yongyu came from the yard over there, and everyone knew that he was carrying something.Usually, whenever he encounters happy things, he is the one who talks more, but this time he sat on the stool in front of the room and didn't say a word.

Such a move even surprised Jiang, "What's the matter with you? They owe you money?"

Chen Yongyu shook his head, with a helpless expression on his face, "When passing the bridge just now, the old iron head was holding a shovel and almost fell into the river. Fortunately, he was caught by Dequan, and he slipped, and his leg was caught by the bridge railing. The bamboo nail scratched a long strip."

Li He nodded, "That's right. I used to be able to go wherever I wanted to go. The same is true of Gu Yu's grandfather. Now the bridge has become as big as a palm. The thieves have good eyes and legs, and they can do whatever they want. Here we are It's an old bone, my eyes are a little blurry, my legs and feet are hard to use, and I feel dizzy when I look at the river below, so I dare not go on the bridge."

While picking up the vegetables on the ground, Jiang said angrily, "I can't blame anyone. If you want to blame everyone, you can blame that big mouth. If she didn't take the lead in making such a fuss, maybe we would have earned money and repaired the bridge a long time ago." , What's the use of sighing here now. Don't think about it, Xiaoman, let's wash vegetables by the river!"

In the kitchen, Mrs. Chen poked her head out, then shrank back, and said to Mrs. Zhang who was cooking, "Look, sister-in-law, at this time, I blame my sister-in-law again, isn't it just talking, as for it?" Besides, if my sister-in-law hadn’t made trouble on the other side, the money wouldn’t have been all of Zhuangzi’s, how could it have all entered their pockets like it is now, and it’s not even talking about sharing some with us.”

Although Mrs. Zhang is rough and likes to take advantage of things, her thoughts are not as serious as Mrs. Chen's. She had just quarreled with Mrs. Chen two days ago, and she didn't remember Mrs. Chen coming to talk to her. She just said what she said. "You can't say that. What you said at the beginning was that the money was cheated by others. Anyway, you have one or two hundred dollars this time, which is half a tael when you add up to the fourth child. Where are you going to earn such money?" Half a tael of silver, it's still such an easy job!"

Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes, with a look of hating iron but not steel, "This is not a hair that someone plucked!"

Everyone started to get busy, washing the vegetables, chopping the bones, and then cooking, making it like a banquet.

An Jinxuan and Jing Zhe are also back, and they can sit and eat together.In Gu Yu's impression, such a large family, the eldest uncle, the second uncle and the fourth uncle, have never had such a lively meal, even the old Li Tou was an exception. Drank a few glasses of wine.It would be great if the Wen family was here too.

I just don't know why, there are so many people, but the conversation is not as casual as over there. Some things like money business can't be exported, and Chen's ears are still pricked up there.

While eating, a person came in hurriedly from the door, and the person in charge of the yard called out, "Li Chang! It would be good if the bridge didn't get repaired, go and see what my father's legs look like now! "

It was Old Tietou's son who was known as Little Tietou, and it was as if he was asking a teacher for a crime.

Li Dequan said, "We know that I was the one who gave your father a hand, otherwise he would have fallen into the river. You are so serious, knowing that his legs and feet are bad, why do you let him walk around with a shovel on his shoulders? The injury is not a big deal, just scratched a bit, I gave him a little wild badger oil, put it on for two days, it will be fine!"

The Jiang family also got up and tried to persuade them for a while, but Xiao Tietou didn't say anything, "This time my father is hurt, if next time, no one sees him falling into the river, it will be a big deal, I will It seems that the bridge still needs to be repaired, otherwise, what should I do?"

Little Tietou left, and Chen Yongyu kept frowning.
