Chapter 177 Farming
Gu Dexing was not happy, his face was ugly, and he sat silently.
Earlier he wanted to become a disciple of Shang Xiucai, but Shang Xiucai confiscated it and wrote him a letter. The letter said that he should go to a private school in the town to study. After studying for ten years, he might be able to get a degree. But now his father asked him to go to Songzigou to study with Xu Tongsheng, which was clearly a deliberate attempt to beat him up.
Gu Dafu was deliberately beating him up. If he didn't suppress his ambition, he might not know what he would do next.
Seeing that he had a bad face again, Gu Dafu was very annoyed and said directly: "If you don't want to go to Xu Tongsheng's private school, then don't go to school and farm at home."
How could Gu Dexing be willing to farm at home? He knew the hard work of digging in the ground, so he could only nod and agree.
Gu Yumei saw that her eldest brother had already nodded, so she could only agree.
Mrs. Chen was happy that the two eldest young masters and eldest ladies had finally come back to their senses. If they continued to do this, she would propose to separate the family even if Gu Dagui disagreed.This chapter is updated by
On the second day, Gu Yumei and Gu Dexing were dressed in coarse linen clothes, carrying baskets and farm tools, and followed Gu Dafu to the fields.
The family were not surprised when they saw Gu Dexing going to the fields, but they were really shocked when they saw Gu Yumei. Sister Mei actually went to work in the fields. This was really new.
In the past, when she was asked to grind spices, she kept urging her, crying and saying that her hands hurt and she couldn't do it, but Gu Dafu was reluctant to scold her and let her do it. What happened today? The sun comes out in the west?
The Third Grandma and Gu Jinli were planting bean sprouts in the field. When they saw Gu Yumei going down to the ground, the Third Grandma nodded and said, "That's right. Farmers can spoil good girls like this. Even good girls are spoiled."
Farmers have to do farm work, and you are not a rich girl in the county. You can always get used to it, and no one will laugh at you for pretending.
The wastelands of several families are connected together. When they reached the end of the field, Gu Dafu pointed to the wasteland of Gu Jinli's house and said, "Sister Mei, follow your second aunt to the seedling bed of Xiaoyu's house to get bean sprouts."
In the past, they planted soybeans by sowing seeds directly, but Xiaoyu said that raising seedlings first and then transplanting can increase the yield of soybeans.
Gu Jinli looked at Gu Yumei as if he were a fool, and mocked: "Three pennies per pound of soybeans is not expensive, so you can make money to buy them yourself."
Added another sentence: "Don't make money with tofu and spices. Make something new and sell it yourself."
These words made Gu Yumei's face burn. She wanted to refute, but she really didn't have the ability to make new things. The reason why her family's life became better was because of tofu and spices, and these two things were made by Gu Jinli.
Mrs. Chen said in a bad tone: "Do you think you have a gold mountain at home? You don't look down on three cents anymore. Hurry up and raise bean sprouts for me. If you don't want to raise bean sprouts, just go and plant bean sprouts. This kind of bean sprouts is even more tiring."
Gu Yumei was so aggrieved that she shed tears while squatting down to raise bean sprouts. She only learned how to raise bean sprouts after harming many bean sprouts.
After working hard for half an hour, I finally picked up a load of bean sprouts and carried them to my field.
Gu Dafu saw her swaying with her load and was afraid that she would fall, so he hurried to pick her up.
Gu Yumei knew that her father felt guilty because of her mother's death, and loved their siblings very much. The tears that had stopped falling again fell after seeing Gu Dafu.
Gu Dafu originally wanted to comfort her, but when he saw her like this, he stopped comforting her and said directly: "Work well with your second aunt and third grandma. Don't be too dirty and tired. Is there any farm work that is not dirty and tiring?"
Gu Yumei was actually crying, but she really cried when she heard this. She also thought that her father probably had money and planned to marry their stepmother, so he no longer loved her and her eldest brother.
How could Gu Dafu know that Gu Yumei was so thoughtful? He just told her to put down the bean sprouts with a straight face.
Gu Yumei was so angry that she kept crying. Her eyes were swollen from crying. When it was time to have lunch, she didn't see Gu Jinxiu. She immediately pointed at Gu Jinli and shouted, "Why didn't your sister go to the fields? It's time for spring plowing." Everyone is on the ground, and shes not the eldest lady, so why doesnt she come?
Gu Jinli looked at Gu Yumei and really felt that she was sick, or terminally ill: "My eldest sister is very busy at home making tofu. Why does she have to work in the fields? She is here to work in the fields. Who will make the tofu at home? ?Do you know?"
Moreover
What does my eldest sisters inability to get off the ground have to do with you? Did you help plant my land? Its really like a dog meddling in other peoples business like a mouse!
Her family and the third grandpa's family combined have nine acres of wasteland, eight acres of soybean fertilized fields, and the remaining one acre she has negotiated with Gu Dashan and Cui to test the cultivation of medicinal materials. Dashan Gu Jinan, He Sanleizi and Mo Chunyue, why do they need Gu Jinxiu?
