Chapter 215: Send someone here

Chapter 215 Send someone here

After hearing this, Gu Jinli felt relieved.

 After the two hid their things, they went home to rest.

They thought this was done without anyone noticing, but Mr. Qin still found out.

Although Mr. Qin was old, he had sharp ears and eyes. He heard some voices and knew that Sanlang went to find Xiaoyu and gave her family heirlooms as compensation.

Originally, he wanted to stop it, but he held back.

 It is safer to put that thing in the hands of Xiaoyu than in the hands of Saburo...

 Early the next morning, several families got up before dawn and went to see off Qin Sanlang and others.

Village Chief He is also here.

Village Chief He was very excited and said to Third Grandpa and Mr. Qin: "The children of your family are promising. If they join the county government as errands, they will not have to worry about it for the rest of their lives."

There is someone in the village who works as an errand in the county government, which is a great thing for their village.

Mr. Qin said: "We still have to compete. I don't know if I can get into the Yamen yet."

Village Chief He said with a smile: "What are you afraid of in the competition? Erlang, Sanlang and Brother Wu are both really capable, and they will definitely win."

 The elders of several families said a few words to Qin Erlang, Qin Sanlang, and Luo Wu, and then sent them out of the end of the village. They did not turn back home until they could no longer be seen.

 Brother and sister Gu Jinli, Gu Dashan, Third Grandpa, Gu Dafu and others returned to the workshop to get tofu for He Dacang and others.

 At present, the tofu produced in the workshop has reached 2,800 kilograms. In a few days, when He Laoguo and the others get started, they will be able to grind more soy milk and produce more tofu.

Half an hour later, Gu Jinli and the others finished their morning work. After Gu Jinan recorded the accounts, he went home, had breakfast, and went to school carrying a cloth bag.

He Laoguo and the others had not grinded that much soy milk. After Gu Dashan finished his breakfast, Third Grandpa asked him to call Gu Dafu, Gu Dalin, and the half-year-old children of several families to water, fertilize, and weed the fields together. .

Gu Jinli also took Mo Chunyue down to the fields, weeding the acres of medicinal fields and spreading grass ash to fertilize the land.

Mo Chunyue asked her: "Little boss, how much can these medicinal materials be sold for? Are they more valuable than white rice?"

Gu Jinli said: "It depends on what kind of medicinal materials you grow. Some medicinal materials are more valuable than white rice, and some medicinal materials are very cheap, even more expensive than soybeans."

However, she is still very optimistic about the cultivation of medicinal herbs. This is a stable and family-friendly business.

Moreover, growing medicinal materials does not require paddy fields and can be grown in mountainous and wasteland. Once planted well, some medicinal materials can be sold for several hundred cents per catty, which is more cost-effective than growing rice.

Mo Chunyue wants to grow medicinal materials with Gu Jinli. She feels that this little boss is a lucky person, and it seems that she can make a lot of money in whatever she does. But after hearing Gu Jinli's words, I started to feel unsure again. I didn't know if I should follow suit?

Gu Jinli saw through her thoughts at a glance and said to her directly: "Valuable medicinal materials are harvested every few years. If you want to grow medicinal materials, you must have money to spend. If you want money to come every six months, then you don't Grow medicinal herbs.”

"You don't have to worry about this in a hurry. Your family has no land now. Let's work to earn money to buy land first."

He San Leizi’s family used to have land, but it was destroyed by him. Now that the family doesn't have even half an acre of land, and they still owe debts to the He family, how can they buy land to grow medicinal materials?

When Mo Chunyue heard this, she gave up her thoughts on growing medicinal materials and thought of making money first, paying off the remaining debts, and then buying the land.

There is not much medicine field in one acre. Gu Jinli and Mo Chunyue worked in the field for an hour, and by noon, they had completed one acre of medicine field. "Second sister, father, and third grandpa, let's go home for lunch." Brother Cheng ran to the field with his short legs, shouting as he ran.

Gu Dashan came up from the soybean field and hugged Brother Cheng who was running happily: "Stop running, be careful of falling."

 Brother Cheng raised his head and smiled at Gu Dashan: "Dad, I have strength now, I won't fall down."

 The second sister always made good food for them, which made him fat.

He said again: "Dad, I practiced calligraphy in the morning and practiced all the calligraphy taught by my elder brother ten times."

 Brother Cheng was only four years old and had not yet entered school, but Gu Jinan would teach him how to write every day when he came home. Even Gu Dashan was captured by him to learn how to read.

 The life of the family will get better and better. As the head of the family, Gu Dashan can't do it unless he can read. He needs to learn more so that he can manage the family's business well in the future.

 Gu Dashan's dark face was full of smiles: "Our brother Cheng is so good."

 When he was in his hometown, Brother Cheng didn't speak much and was scared of being beaten by Mrs. Gu. Now that he is away from the old Gu family, Brother Cheng is becoming more and more cheerful.

Thinking of the old Gu family, Gu Dashan couldn't help but murmured: "I don't know if they are still alive?"

“Dashan, come home.” Third Grandpa, Gu Dafu and the others came up from the fields, grabbed a few handfuls of weeds, wiped the soil off their feet, and then went home to have lunch together.

 After lunch, the men from each family went to the workshops to make soy milk and tofu.

Gu Jinli stayed in the workshop all afternoon, fearing that the Zou Yuzhen brothers and sisters would come again. But the strange thing is that the brothers and sisters did not come, nor did they visit several houses.

Gu Jinli was not reassured by this, but told Gu Jinxiu to close the courtyard door. If anyone from the Lu family and the Zou family came to the door, they must not open the door. The hatred between these two families was very deep. She didn't believe that Zou Yuzhen and his sister were sincere in apologizing.

 That night, Qin Sanlang and the others did not come back. Lao Luo drove a mule cart to deliver news to them, saying that Qin Sanlang and the others had passed the first round of competition and would compete twice more. If you lose, you will come back early. If you pass the competition, you won't be able to go home until at least the third day.

After receiving the news, several families felt a little relieved. While thinking about Qin Sanlang and the others, they were busy with things in the workshop.

At noon three days later, five mule carts drove into Dafeng Village. The first mule cart was driven by Qin Sanlang.

"Brother Qin is back!" Tian Erqiang was preparing spices in the yard of his home. When he saw Qin Sanlang driving the car, he hurriedly ran out and shouted around to notify several houses.

The path at the end of the village was too narrow, and there were four mule carts following Qin Sanlang, so it was difficult to stop. He just said to Tian Erqiang: "Hey, we are back. My second brother, Brother Luo Wu, and I have both passed the exam."

Hearing this, Tian Erqiang shouted again: "Brother Qin, Second Brother Qin, and Brother Luo Wu have all passed the exam, and now they are officials who live in the Yamen!"

 Tian Erqiang was so happy. When he was in his hometown, his family was an outsider and lived a submissive life in the village. When his grandma was still alive, he often said that if his family could have an official family member who ate at the Yamen, life at home would be easier.

Tian Erqiang has always remembered this, and now he is very happy to see Qin Sanlang and others working in the county government. In the future, their status in the village will become higher, and people in the village will have to be careful if they want to bully them.

 Jiang Jiao is also here. He is here to send someone to Gu Jinli's family.

On March 17, Gu Jinli and the others went to Shang Xiucai’s house and talked about hiring someone to look after the workshop. Jiang County Lieutenant told Jiang Jiao about this and asked him to bring back several families for her as requested by Jin Li when he went to Fucheng.
