Nongmen Xiaofu's Reborn Wife
70.Chapter 70 Learning for Honor
"I'll find the straw tomorrow, and I'll fix the leaking roof." Gu Dashan walked around several houses and found that the roofs of some houses were already weathered, so he had to fix them quickly.
Gu Jinli was smoking a rat hole in the house with wormwood, and when he heard this, he said, "Dad, use the weeds in the yard to make up." Then tie it into grass planks one by one, put it on
top the roof and tie it to the roof, so that the lost roof can be repaired.
"Hey." Gu Dashan also liked the weeds in the courtyard.
As he spoke, some of the mice could not stand the smoke, and ran out of the hole, and rushed into the sack he covered with holes, buk, buk, and the three of them ran in at once.
He hurriedly put away the sack, tied the mouth of the sack tightly, and smacked the sack to the ground more than a dozen times, after killing the rat, he threw away the dead rat and continued fumigating the next rat hole.
I worked so hard until it was almost dark that I ended up fumigating rat holes in some rooms, and blocked those holes with stones taken by Brother Cheng.
"Second Brother, won't there be any more rats crawling out while you sleep at night?" Brother Cheng crouched down next to Gu Jinli, looked at him and asked.
Gu Jinli nodded: "Well, all the rats in the house are gone, and there will be no more rats crawling over Brother Cheng while you sleep at night." "Fish
little one, don't keep scaring Brother Cheng." Gu Jinan took the hoe and took the sack containing over 20 dead mice brought out of the yard with sacks, and the dead mice were buried deep.
When I returned, there were three grandfathers beside me.
The third grandfather said: "I have seen the old well with Mr. Qin, and the water is still out. As long as the mud inside is cleaned and stored for a few days, the water will be usable." They'll love this well
Old houses, in addition to the fact that these old houses are connected together, some of which can live together, are also due to the distance of the old wells more than ten meters.
With this old well, the women and girls of his family did not need to go to the village to fetch water and wash their clothes, and they could avoid the rascals in the village and be safer.
"Hey, I'll go to the well to clean the mud tomorrow after patching the roof." Gu Dashan had done a lot of work, such as masonry work, well digging, carpentry, blacksmithing, anti-sacking, and cleaning the mud from the old well was nothing to him.
The third grandfather said: "Don't worry, we'll talk about it with the family tomorrow and make a charter before we start work." "Don't talk about it
, hurry up for dinner." Third grandmother and Miss. Cui has prepared dinner, take it to the main room.
Dinner was a pot of stale rice porridge, a large bowl of boiled soybeans, not even a little oil, but everyone ate very happily.
The third grandfather said with emotion: "We have a tile to cover our heads."
Compared to when we were running away from hunger, we sat in the open field and ate grass roots and boiled leaves. Live today like a fairy.
The third grandmother looked at the big family while crying while eating. She has never had a son in her entire life, and now she lives with Dashan's family, and she can be considered a life full of children and grandchildren.
The third grandfather met and scolded: "You mother, why are you crying? Today is a good day for us to move to a new home. "Third granny rush
wipe her tears and say, "Hey, don't cry anymore, you should be happy!"
this one? It costs a lot to study in a private school, how can our family afford it?"
Gu Jin'an was eager to learn, but he did not want to drag his family to self-study.
Gu Jinli said: "Brother, why did the village ask us to pay three taels of silver today? Is it because we have no support? If there were any scholars or scholars in our family, would they dare bully us like this?
" Gu Jinli was angry about the matter of the two silver coins, but he knew that they were helpless and poor, and they could not be tough, so they had to endure it.
"If we want to turn around, we can only take two paths. The first is to learn and test fame, and the second is to make a lot of money. "He does not want to live in poverty.
Money must be earned Fame cannot be left behind.
Gu Jin'an was smart since he was a child. Gu Dashan and Madam Cui had always wanted to send her to study, but when she returned to her hometown, Madam Gu refused to let her read. Whenever he saw her writing on the ground, he would beat her The couple always felt that I felt very sorry for Gu Jin'an, but now Xiaoyu wanted to send Gu Jin'an to study, she said, he won't mind all, he'll just support: "Sister An, after next year, dad will go to private school, let's learn." The third grandfather also nodded and said: "
Brother, you have to go to school."
Gu Jin'an was very touched, but he looked at the skinny family and hesitated and said: "If you want to be recognized by fame, there is no such thing as three or five years. Our family now only had thirty-two taels of silver left, and we had to use this money to buy things to live on, and we had no land. Even if we clear the vacant land and plant the land, we want to harvest it after June next year. For half a year period, we all I need to buy food to eat. After a certain amount of money, the money is not enough, how can I have the money to go to school?"
Gu Jin'an really wanted to go to school. When he was in his hometown school, he asked about the money for one year of private school, but he asked him It was old money, only five taels of silver for the repair of a year, he said, and rituals for the husband during the New Year holidays. Counting three festivals and six rituals a year, only five taels of silver, and pens, ink, paper, and ink stones were consumed.
Da Chu's worst ink stick cost two hundred in cash, and the worst yellow paper cost fifty in cash per sheet. This was a consumable item, and they had to buy it every month. Their families had no income, so how could they afford it?
"We can make money if we don't have money, but we have to read this book!" Gu Jinli's attitude was very strong, he pointed towards Gu Jinxiu and said, "Brother, you also heard what that three-faced man said today, today, there are bad guys in this village, You If you want to protect the sisters in the family, you must have fame and fame, and you must make them fear us, otherwise, you must have a lot of fame, with the appearance of the eldest sister, if someone were to snatch her away someday, our family would have no place to cry." He is young and not afraid of us
. robbed. But Gu Jinxiu was different, he would be fifteen years old after the new year, and he looked good, otherwise, the bastard would see that they were fleeing from hunger, he said, and if they want to bully others, they need to be vigilant.
Seeing Gu Jinli talk about himself, Gu Jinxiu hurriedly said, "Don't worry, little fish, I remember everything you said to me. I don't go alone, I carry a knife, and I still practice the tricks you taught me. I'm not gonna let anything happen to me. "
Xiaoyu said, he cannot be lucky enough to be saved at any time, if he wants to live a safe life, he must learn for himself. - defensive skills and protect himself, he said, and he worked hard to learn.
Gu Jinli nodded: "Yes, we understand that the eldest sister works very hard."
Then he looked at Gu Jinan and asked him: "Brother, this is our family situation. Do you want to read this book?"
Gu Jinan looked at Gu Jinxiu, then saw him again Looking at Gu Jinli, there was also Cheng Geer, who had a confused face, gritted his teeth, and said, "Read!" No matter how hard or tired or difficult,
he had to make a trick, only in this way could he protect his family.
Gu Jinan's study problem had been solved, and the whole family was very happy.
The next day before dawn, Gu Dashan's family woke up, mowing the weeds in the yard, finding some branches, splitting them into slices of soft trees, tying the weeds into planks of grass one by one, and then cutting the weeds into planks of grasses, then Gu Dashan went up to the roof , tied the straw board to the beams and columns of the house, and in less than half an hour, the roof was fixed.
