Chapter 255: Looking for a shop

Chapter 255 Looking for a shop

Village Chief He is happy for the Gu family to do this. Sun Li-chang would bully village chiefs like them, and he would be relieved if Sun Li-chang was removed.

When Third Grandma and Mrs. Cui knew that Village Chief He was coming, they added an extra plate of fried eggs, fried the leftover fried crispy pork again, and served it to Village Chief He.

Village Chief He looked at the plate of fried crispy pork and fried eggs and sighed with emotion. The Gu family's life is getting better and better, and everyone eats meat in the morning.

 “You’re welcome, village chief, use your chopsticks.” Third Grandpa entertained Village Chief He.

Village Chief He was not polite either. Although his teeth were not very good, the fried crispy meat was so fragrant that he ate a few pieces.

After eating, Village Chief He looked at Qi Pan and said, "Nephews of the Qi family, since your family's household registration has been transferred to Dafeng Village, you are a member of Dafeng Village. You can live in the village with peace of mind. There is no need to be afraid. . If you encounter someone making trouble for you, just come and tell me, and the old man will definitely make the decision for you."

Village Chief He spoke very righteously, but his attitude was totally different from when Gu Jinli and the others came to the village.

Grandpa Third listened to what Village Chief He said and sighed to himself, this still requires skill. If they hadn't had the ability to open a workshop and have County Captain Jiang to protect them, Village Chief He wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

Qi Pan stood up and bowed to Village Chief He: "Junior, thank you Village Chief for taking care of me."

With that said, he took the gift from Gu Daya and handed it to Village Chief He with both hands: "This is a meeting gift from my family to the village chief. I hope you won't dislike it and accept this gift."

Village Chief He didn’t want to accept it at first, but he knew that only by accepting this gift could Qi Panpan’s family feel at ease, so he accepted it.

The gift was quite generous, consisting of a piece of gray-blue cotton, half a strip of pork belly, a bag of candy and a small bag of rice, which weighed about two kilograms.

Village Chief He looked at this gift and smiled so much that his wrinkles deepened: "Go to the village when you have time. If you find any wasteland you like, come and tell me. We farmers still have to farm. "

"Hey, we'll take the time to go see it in the next few days. Thank you village chief." Qi Panpan used to be a salesman. He's not stupid and is good at talking. He just feels guilty about Gu Daya. When I was looking at Dashan, I was scared in my heart and my mouth started to tighten.

Village Chief He accepted the gift and was very responsible. He said to the third grandfather: "Brother Gu, you have to make it clear to your eldest niece and her family about the Lu family, so that they will not be harmed by the Lu family."

He added: "It seems that the Lu family has been quite honest recently. During the few days you went to Fucheng, the Lu family didn't have any trouble. They just stayed in the Lu family's mansion and didn't even go out."

The Third Grandpa was also surprised that the Lu family didn't take advantage of their trip to Fucheng to cause trouble. This was a good thing, but the Third Grandpa would not let go.

They came all the way to escape from the famine, and on the way they met too many evil people who were honest on the surface but harmful to others behind their backs.

Isn't this the case with Liu Jie'er's group, and that Ma Cuilan, who looks kind and pitiful, but is actually the most thoughtful and the most harmful.

“Village chief, why haven’t brother and sister Zou Yuzhen gone back yet?” Gu Jinli asked.

Village Chief He said: "I heard that old man Lu was ill, and the two of them came to take care of him. I also heard that the Lu family had done so many wrong things, and Mrs. Zou took advantage of it and drove the brothers and sisters back to the Lu family. . I don’t know which one is true and which one is false? Anyway, the two brothers and sisters just didn’t leave.”

Village Chief He is very annoyed with the Zou Yuzhen brothers and sisters. When the young lady from the county prime minister's family comes to the village, he, the village chief, has to take care of her carefully. And that Zou Yuzhen didn't know why he was crazy, and he came to see his family Jin Sheng.

"He said that he and my Jin Sheng are both scholars, and they are about the same age. He can talk to my Jin Sheng. What can I say? He is already in his early twenties, and my Jin Sheng is only sixteen. There is a difference of four years. The situation is different, what can I say?"

"I'm afraid of him. I recently asked my Jin Sheng to study in the town and stay at my husband's house for food and accommodation. I asked him not to go home first." Village Chief He said this specifically to express his feelings to the Gu family and tell them that he The He family would not turn around and seek refuge with Zou County Cheng.

Grandpa Third, Gu Jinli and the others understood and said with a smile, "Thank you, village chief."

"No hard work, no hard work, it's getting late, I'll go back first." After Village Chief He finished what he needed to say, he walked home with the gift in hand.

As soon as Village Chief He left, Luo Huiniang ran outside the door of her courtyard and shouted: "Grandpa San, Xiaoyu, we are going to the town to set up a stall. Dad asked you to ask if you are ready? We are leaving." "

Last night when we were settling the accounts and dividing the money, we talked about looking for a shop. Originally, Third Grandpa no longer had to go out to the stall every day, but looking for a shop was a big deal and he had to come forward, and Xiaoyu also had to go.

“Hey, let’s come right away.” Gu Jinli turned around and went back to the house, asking Ms. Cui to get her four silver notes.

This banknote is the deposit given by Lei Wuye and the others. I spent one to get the medicinal materials some time ago. After paying off the money you owe for medicinal materials, you can go find a shop. If you are lucky enough to find one, use this banknote to pay the deposit.

Gu Jinli took out the banknotes and gave two to the third grandfather. After the two of them hid the banknotes, they went to meet Luo Huiniang and the others.

Before leaving, Gu Jinli said to Gu Daya: "Auntie, you rest at home first. When I come back, I will talk to you about opening a shop."

 “Hey, okay. Stay with your third grandfather and don’t be alone.” How could Gu Daya and the others be free? I have already planned to go to Gu's workshop to help grind spices.

Grandpa San and Gu Jinli soon arrived at Luo's house, and followed Luo's father, Mrs. Chu, and Luo Huiniang, and walked towards Gu's workshop.

 In the workshop, Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian have already loaded the tofu, spices and bean dregs onto the cart.

This cart was made by Gu Dashan in his spare time, and the pulley was a gift from Shang Xiucai's family. As long as the cart was made and put on the pulley, it would become a cart. It is easier to pull a cart to transport goods to the town than to carry a load.

It’s just that their family can’t afford oxen and mules yet. When they buy oxen or mules later and replace the people, their family will have oxen and mule carts.

"Xiaoyu, why are you here? We've been waiting for you for a long time." Mrs. Chen was wearing a floral spring shirt, her hair was neatly combed, and she also applied some water with meat oil on her head. It looks shiny and shiny.

Gu Jinli looked at her, frowned and asked: "Auntie, you are not out at the stall today, why are you here? Don't you need to mix the spices? The amount given to your family is divided. If you don't stay at home to mix the spices, when the time comes If the goods cannot be shipped on April 26th, we will have to lose money."

Mrs. Chen chuckled and said: "Look what you said, your aunt, am I one of those ignorant people? Your uncle is at home. Brother Xing and Brother Wang will only go to school for half a day today and will be back after noon. Your noble aunt is the only one who can prepare the spices at home."
