Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 168 Is there any way to have the best of both worlds

Afterwards, everyone seemed to lose the taste of eating. After a good celebration banquet, they were overwhelmed by the dark clouds of bridge construction.Not only Chen Yongyu, Gu Yu and the others also had the matter of building the bridge in their minds, but they didn't want to mention it.Chicken, duck and fish seem to become a taste in the mouth.

After the meal, Mrs. Chen was still unwilling to give up, and kept staring, as if she was afraid of missing out on the benefits, but Jing Zhe brought some clothing materials for everyone from the bag, and the rest was for everyone to eat and share.Gu Yu didn't want to look at these situations, so she simply turned around and went back.

Wen's family was still in the kitchen, Xiaohe and Dalin were both sitting, Wen was talking to them patiently.Gu Yu didn't want to disturb them, so she wanted to sneak into the house.

It's a pity that there is nothing to do in the house, such a big event as Taojiang is about to pass, Gu Yu feels a little depressed, and walks to the back yard unconsciously.The moonlight was pale and pale, and the threshing machine was also placed next to the wall. There was a row of stoves and some unused pots, all quietly staying where they should be, orderly.

Gu Yu sighed secretly, suddenly wondered if he stayed in this place, so many days and nights passed in a flash, thinking about it really seemed like a lifetime away.I also feel a little lucky every day, but fortunately, there are still many happy days in these things.

Just seeing Chen Yongyu frowning, and the fact that Xiao Tietou came to make trouble just now, Gu Yu was a little skeptical and also a little angry. The peach sauce made by several of his family partners, taking such a big risk, it is of course his own money.Just thinking about a person like Old Tie Tou who almost fell into the river, it would be inconvenient for people to come and go in and out of the village, if something really happened, she would definitely feel uneasy, Master's daily teachings Where did the benevolent self hear it?From this point of view, I don’t feel reconciled if I don’t spend the money, and I don’t know if the way I think will work.

But Gu Yu is unwilling to spend money to repair the bridge, why should he do this, after such a time, what about the next time?
Zhuangzi naturally has a set of customary rules in Zhuangzi, and all kinds of human feelings and sophistication are intertwined, Gu Yu is a little helpless.

What else?Gu Yu sighed towards the moon in the sky.

There were footsteps rustling, and she didn't bother to look back.

It was An Jinxuan, who walked up to Gu Yu dressed in moonlight, and the eyes in front of him were like dazzling stars, shining instantly.

Following Gu Yu's example, he found an altar to sit on, and asked softly next to him, "Are you thinking about the old iron man or the bridge repair? Oh, this should be considered one thing."

Gu Yu asked as if looking for an answer, "Brother Jinxuan, why do you think it's so difficult to live in Zhuangzi? It's normal for me not to take out our money. What's difficult is that we made some money. People will care about money, right? You see that such an honest person as Xiao Tietou seems to have such a meaning. I can’t guarantee whether people in Zhuangzi will make a fuss tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Bosses are average, if you are lucky, you can accept some peaches, otherwise you can just walk away, and you won't get a bad name!"

The corner of An Jinxuan's mouth curled up, "Don't worry so much. Isn't Uncle Chen and the others worrying about it? Last time, our attitude was firm."

Gu Yu muttered, "Didn't you know something would happen last time?"

"Then shall we take out the silver?"

"Just take it out and feel panicked!"

An Jinxuan shook his head. At first he wanted to tease Gu Yu, but he couldn't bear to see her like this, so he said quickly, "I have a plan."

After finishing speaking, he leaned into Gu Yu's ear and whispered something.

After hearing this, Gu Yu slapped An Jinxuan on the shoulder, "Why didn't you say it earlier, if it really got to that point, we still have something to do." After saying this, Gu Yu was sure, "Brother Jinxuan, your How is the cloth shop nearby? Otherwise, I will go out tomorrow, after all, it’s not good to be absent from work, this one took money from others..."

This time, An Jinxuan was really crying and laughing and feeling helpless. What he wanted to say stopped on his lips, "Gu Yu, isn't there a time when you don't worry?"

It just so happened that Xiaoman lit the oil lamp and went to the backyard to get things. Seeing these two people sitting on the jar, he laughed, the oil lamp in his hand shook, and the light and shadow flashed, "I said you two are doing well, so I don't want to find a good place to sit." , What is this sitting on the jar? It looks like a pair of nesting chickens!"

Gu Yu chuckled and went to help Xiaoman.

In a few days, rumors spread in Zhuangzi.

But no one is making a fuss in the yard here. Of course, those who have carried the work here can’t say that this side is bad, and others can only be jealous. It’s hard to talk about jealousy. That's it for the bridge.

In the second half of the day, the sound of gongs was heard, which indicated that every head of the family would go to the foot of the big tree to discuss matters at dusk.Of course, Li Dequan went to Gu Yu's house, and the second uncle's family was separated. When he went to the second aunt, he brought Xiaohan and Dahan over to sit.

Of course, the bridge repair is the most important thing. Everyone has different opinions on whether to build the bridge, especially if someone has a happy event in the past two years. I heard that if the bridge is built, the support in the village will be lost. , naturally disagree.Others think that they need to buy an ox cart at home and go to work in the field on the other side, so they naturally advocate repairing it.

The matter was discussed for two days, and finally a small matter happened over there.It's not an old man, but a man in Zhuangzi. Maybe he drank a little wine and went to the field to watch the water at night, but he didn't expect to accidentally fall into the river.Fortunately, I can swim, and I swam back after being soaked in water.

After this incident, anyone who said that they don’t want to build bridges will be accused by the big guys. Don't go over the bridge?The bridge repair has become the most urgent matter in Zhuangzi at the moment, and finally the opinions are unified, and it must be something that can be used for bridge repair after autumn and at the end of the year.

Things happened one after another, after passing this hurdle and waiting for the next one, the opinions were unified, and the problems of money came one after another.

Chen Yongyu counted all the silver in the village, but it was still not enough, so everyone decided to sell all the things that the peaches got back, but in the end it was still not enough.Some people advocated digging stones by themselves. People in the village can be small workers, as long as they invite masters. After building a large stone arch bridge, they will not be afraid of wind and rain.

The stone arch bridge is certainly good, but everyone is unsure about the stone material. The people in the village have no experience in fighting like this. If something happens at that time, it will be even worse. It's even more difficult to say once you enter the Hulugou or meet some wild beasts. Considering all kinds of factors, it still doesn't work.

Things just got stuck.

Xiao Man and Gu Yu went out to wash clothes, and heard everyone talking about this matter.Gu Yu has the bottom line in his heart, so he doesn't rush when doing things.Going back and forth in this Zhuangzi, just pretend that these things don't exist.

Naturally, some women felt a little regretful, and their words revealed their meaning, "You said that if it was not good to do what Gu Yu said at the beginning, what can we do now? Anyway, if we don't have any money from the family, it's better to go to work. Well, I don’t dare to take my boy out, in case he falls into the river and cries, he won’t be able to find a place to cry.”

"So what, can we blame others? Anyway, we also earned their wages. Besides, the idea of ​​making money was not planned to be done without telling everyone. Didn't some people go to the yard to scold, Who doesn't feel cold, and I don't feel comfortable, it's not easy for their family to make such a step."

Qing'er Niang shook the clothes in her hand and said, "That's not true, what I'm talking about is big mouth..."

Unexpectedly, Dazui came from behind, and a quarrel broke out on the spot. Of course, there are many people helping Qing Erniang now.Originally, the big guy felt regretful and regretful at this time, and he was afraid that his family would pay the money, and he thought about provoking and quarreling with his big mouth at that time, so he found an exit, no matter whether he had quarreled or not at the beginning, it was right, go to quarrel Those who evaded were fooled, and those who did not go were even more justified. They scolded each other twice and ended up being outnumbered.

When Gu Yu heard this at home, she was neither sad nor happy, she was not thinking about these things.She was thinking about the timing of what An Jinxuan said that day, the method is a good method, but has the time really arrived?

In the evening, the same households went to discuss again. Li Dequan came back and said that there was still a sum of money, about three to fifty taels, and if there was no other way, each family had to leave.

Gu Yu was a little surprised, "Then what if the family has no money?"

"Well, those who have money will give money, and they don't have to do the work. If they don't have money, they will work on the bridge."

Gu Yu then asked, "Then how much is paid, and those who pay less must not be able to do it. If there is a lot of pay, everyone does not have it. If there is a lot of money, it is not fair. How to calculate it? People who have no money have to go to work, so they can't do it." What to add to the family, what to do if the family is more miserable in the future? What if there is a quarrel at that time, how will it end?"

Li Dequan spread his hands and smiled wryly, "What can we do without money? You can't answer this question even if you ask Dad."

Gu Yu immediately went to find Li Dejiang, and called Aunt Wen Dalin to come over, and said, "I want to help Zhuangzi with the money we have on hand."

Li Dejiang smiled, "Gu Yu, after all, Tao Jiang earned the money back. If you don't speak up, we won't be able to say anything. With your attitude back then, we thought there was no discussion."

Xiao He snorted at the side, "It's not a case this time, what should I do next time, come to us every time!" Before she finished speaking, Aunt Wen scolded Xiao He for being ignorant.

Everyone was also a little worried about whether the thankless things that Gu Yu said at the beginning would happen.

Gu Yu expected this would be the case, and smiled wryly, "I'm not saying that we will fill up the silver like a saint. If they are short of 30 taels, we will give them 30 taels, and if they are short of 50 taels, we will give them 50 taels. Let them remember the same idea, but also help build bridges, the two are not contradictory, it is the best of both worlds."
