Chapter 353: Wanjia proposes marriage
Chapter 353 Wanjia proposes marriage
He Dashu and his son were lazy and wanted He Cuier to marry a rich family so that they could supplement their income.
The boss, He Minzi, said hurriedly: "Cui'er, my mother is right, you can't use this water to grind your work. You have to hurry up to avoid being overtaken by others."
He Cuier's mother said: "Your eldest brother is right. The Gu family has become rich, and there are so many people watching it every day. If you don't take action, when other people come to propose marriage, then the Gu Daya family will not look down on us." Home."
"Yes, Cui'er, it would have been okay for you to take your time more than a month ago, but now that they have opened a shop, and even the county magistrate has sent a plaque to congratulate you, you can't do it if you want to take your time." He Liangzi sat on the threshold, chewing on a reed pole, sipping the sweet water inside, and encouraging He Cuier: "Learn from Lu Meihua, you just relied on your stomach to do it. You kept holding it, what's wrong with our family?" When can I make a fortune?"
He was exhausted after a day of farm work. If Cui'er could quickly marry into Gu Daya's family, even if he could get some money back, he wouldn't have to do farm work anymore and could enjoy it for a few days.
After all, He Dashu was a father. He did not say it as openly as his two sons said. He only said: "Hold on tight. This is a big thing that will benefit you in your life. Otherwise, given the conditions of our family, if you want to marry well, But you have to make it small.”
He Cui'er couldn't sit still after being told that the Gu family was so prosperous that even the county magistrate gave him a plaque. She really had to think of a way to deal with Qi Kangping quickly.
And the fact that the county magistrate sent a plaque to Gu's shop spread throughout Qingfu Town in just two or three days, and people from all over the country were envious.
Many people asked about Qin Gu Luotian's family and learned that they had many young boys and girls in their prime years, and they were all crazy happy. If it weren't for the busy farming schedule, these people would have found a matchmaker to come to their door long ago.
After Gu Jinli and the others were busy opening the shop, they signed a labor contract with He Tieshu and He Dayuan, asking them to help in the workshop.
Although they were doing odd jobs, the wages paid by Gu's workshop were high, with a monthly salary of 800 yuan. Both of them were very happy and happily went to work.
Gu Daya's family also hired Mo Kuizi to kill ducks. He killed a duck, plucked its feathers, and paid him three cents.
Although the duck's feathers are not easy to pluck, the price of three cents to kill a duck still makes Mo Kuizi very happy. He and Mo Xiangming are both quick hands and feet, but after a few days of killing, the two of them got started. Killing more than one hundred to two hundred ducks saved Gu Daya's family a lot of trouble.
After the shop was on track, several families hurried to the fields to collect soybeans. If they didn't collect soybeans, the pods would burst.
The families didn't have much land, and with the help of Mr. and Mrs. He Sanleizi, Wang Yongfu's family, and Lao Zhu's family, they harvested all the soybeans in the field in just one day.
It took another two days to plant the bean sprouts that had been grown in advance, and after fertilizing and watering, the work was finally done.
During the spring plowing, He Laoguo saw that their methods of growing soybeans were different, so he asked his third grandfather, who said that the method of raising seedlings and transplanting could increase the yield of soybeans. He Laoguo was interested in it at that time, and now Harvest, I specifically asked Third Grandpa, how much soybeans their family produces per acre?
"One acre weighs six hundred kilograms." Third Grandpa's tanned face was full of smiles. He was happy when he mentioned this. He is a farmer and has been cultivating the land all his life. The yield of this land is high, which is higher than Making money in the workshop makes him happier
"Six hundred catties per acre!" He Laoguo was shocked: "Hey, this yield is 30% higher."
The soybeans grown by his family only amount to 400 kilograms at most, which is 200 kilograms less than those grown by Qin Guluotian's family. The difference is also huge.
He Laoguo rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Gu, how do you grow this? Can you teach me?"
“There’s nothing we can’t teach about this.” The third grandfather didn’t hide his secrets, and told He Laoguo in detail the method of raising soybean seedlings and transplanting them.
It just takes time to raise seedlings. It is now the second season to rush for planting. It is too late to raise seedlings. He Laoguo can only write down the method and wait until next spring to plant again.
After the busy farming season, families from all over the country became active again and invited matchmakers to come to several houses to arrange marriage arrangements.
In Gu Jinli's family, due to the incident involving the matchmaker last time, Gu Jinxiu and Gu Jin'an have already announced that they will observe mourning for the deceased clan members in Gujia Village for three years and not talk about marriage within three years. The ancients valued filial piety and righteousness, but matchmakers can only give up if they say this.
It's just that Gu Jinli didn't expect that even she would be targeted.
She pointed at her face, looked at Matchmaker Du with yellow teeth and said, "You said that the head of Songzigou Village has taken a fancy to me? Are you going to tell me to his eldest grandson?"
Matchmaker Du said with a smile: "Isn't that right? I'm talking about my eldest grandson. After you get married, you will be the eldest daughter-in-law, and you will be the village chief's wife in the future."
Village chief’s wife?
Haha, Village Chief Xu is still alive and kicking. When Village Chief Xu dies, the position of village chief will belong to his son. When Village Chief Xu’s son dies, it will be his grandson’s turn. This will happen decades later. , now I'm using it as a bargaining chip to propose marriage, it's ridiculous.
besides…
"I'm only eleven years old, and I still have a few years to get haircut." She was still a child, and people came to propose marriage to her. Are these people crazy?
Matchmaker Du said: "I'm twelve years old, so I'm not too young. Let's talk about marriage first, and we can get married in two or three years."
"Get over your sister!" Gu Jinli rudely gave Matchmaker Du a broom and kicked her out of the house: "You crazy person, get out of here. If you dare to come to my house again and propose marriage, I'll chop you up."
Matchmaker Du was so frightened that she said to the third grandmother next to her, Ms. Cui, "Why is your girl so fierce? She even beats people, but you just ignore her?"
"You guys should be beaten!" The third grandmother took the broom in Gu Jinli's hand, pointed at Matchmaker Du and said, "Are you going to leave? If you don't leave, I'll beat you."
Mrs. Cui also held a stick and stood aside and said: "I have told you that my children will not say goodbye to each other for three years, and the same will be true for Xiaoyu. You should leave quickly and don't come back again."
Matchmaker Du was very angry: "You have to think clearly and get rid of the matchmakers. From now on, no matchmaker from all over the country will dare to come to your door. How can your children get married?"
"Bah, who cares about you? You private matchmakers don't come to the door, there are official matchmakers." The third grandma said very firmly. Now that the family is rich, she will find official matchmakers to propose marriages to several children in the future. Then The official media is not as reliable as these private media. They all work for a fee, but they have harmed many girls.
Gu Jinli didn't have the patience to talk to Matchmaker Du, so he just took the broom and beat her, and Matchmaker Du ran away quickly.
In addition to her family, the Qin family also had a matchmaker come to the door. Mr. Qin said: "The two children must observe filial piety and not talk about their marriage."
After saying that, he smashed a big stone with his fist, scaring the matchmaker who came to the door so much that she ran away.
The Gu Dafu family also had a matchmaker come to propose marriage, but the matchmaker did not propose marriage for the Yuan family, but for the Wan Xiucai family in the town.
