Gu Rin's farming life

Because there are two children in the family, Mrs. Gu still prefers children. Besides, this is the child adopted by Gu Lin and Wen Yan. They are destined not to have children of their own in the future.

Although there is still Gu Xian's child, it is not impossible to let him take care of Gu Lin and Wen Yan's pension in the future, but after all, Gu Xian is only pregnant with one son now, and he does not know if he will have another child in the future. It is too much pressure for Huaihuai to provide care for Gu Lin and Wen Yan.

Now that Gu Lin and Wen Yan have adopted a child, the pressure on their arms will be relieved in the future, and Gu Lin and Wen Yan will be able to rely on them in the future.

Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Gu loved Anan even more, and now she also felt that the meeting gift she just gave was a little less, and she wanted to get another gift, but thinking about it, it seemed too alienated, anyway, I will make up for it later just go up.

So after giving the gift, Mrs. Gu hugged Anan for a while, and asked him some questions from time to time. Although Anan was not used to it, she still answered Mrs. Gu's questions obediently.

He has only had one grandfather all along, and he has no experience with this kind of old woman at all, so he can only obediently ask and answer.

Mrs. Gu loves such a well-behaved Anan even more. Gradually, this kind of love is not only because of Anan's ability to provide for Gu Lin and Wen Yan in the future, but also because of Anan himself.

Anan didn't know that in a few words, he successfully captured the heart of an old lady. He remembered that Gu Lin had said before that there were younger brothers and sisters in the family, so he couldn't help asking, "Where is the younger brother?"

When Mrs. Gu was rare towards him, she asked softly, "How did Anan know that there is a younger brother in the family?"

"Daddy said it." Anan bit his finger, his brows furrowed into a ball, "Why didn't I see my brother?"

"Brother is sleeping." Mrs. Gu replied with a smile, she was disappointed after seeing his face, and held his hand, "Grandma will take you to see your younger siblings."

Mentioning the younger sister, Anan's eyes lit up, and then he remembered that Gu Lin said that there was a younger sister in his hometown, but he only thought of his younger brother just now, and forgot that there was a younger sister. When Mrs. Gu mentioned it, he started to look forward to it , follow Mrs. Gu into the house obediently.

Gu Xian hadn't seen the two children for a long time, so he also followed Mrs. Gu.

Only old man Gu, Gu Lin, and Wen Yan were left in the hall.

Old man Gu got up and went back to the house and took out a stack of ledgers.

"Xiao Lin, you've been away for more than half a year, and you've accumulated a pile of ledgers." He pushed the ledgers in front of Gu Lin, "I've already looked at them preliminarily, you can read them again."

Gu Lin tilted his head and looked at Old Man Gu up and down, with a look of surprise on his face. Before he left, Old Man Gu didn't even understand the account book. Unexpectedly, after more than half a year, Old Man Gu already knew how to read the account book. up.

Sure enough, people of today cannot be seen through the eyes of the past.

Seeing him so surprised, old man Gu was a little proud, "Your father and I still have two brushes."

Although he is very proud now, it is really not easy for a person who has never touched the ledger to learn to read the ledger.

Gu Xian started to read at the age of six, and he learned very well, but as a family member, the old man Gu was illiterate, so he had to be able to read before learning to read the account books.

For Old Man Gu, this was not an easy task, but in order to prevent the bookkeeper from playing tricks, he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

After persisting for two or three months, he finally learned some commonly used characters and learned to read the account books. However, according to his level of reading accounts, he would not be able to tell even if someone was cheating.

Of course, he didn't know about this, and thought that there was no problem at all.

After flipping through the ledger a few times, Gu Lin found out the problem. He didn't say anything, but just put away the ledger and praised, "Daddy is wise."

Hearing his son's praise, Old Man Gu's face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, and he looked very happy when he saw it.

After laughing for a while, old man Gu said, "By the way, there is not much wine left at home, and shopkeeper Bai has come over to remind me several times."

Gu Lin nodded, "I'll start brewing new ones tomorrow."

"There is also a paper mill. Sales have increased significantly in the past six months, so I decided to open another paper mill in a neighboring village." Old man Gu felt a little embarrassed when he said this, rubbed his hands, and then said to Wen Yan, "Xiaoyan, because The new workshop needs a waterwheel, and you are not here, so I took your drawings to other carpenters to build a new waterwheel."

He read the gentle words, found that he had no expression, and quickly said, "Don't worry, I don't give it for nothing. I told him that you provide the blueprints, and he does it. The profit is four or six cents, and I will give you all the money." Receive it, and I'll give it to you later."

Wen Yan shook his head. He had no expression just now, not because he was angry, but because he remembered that Gu Lin and I gave him the blueprint. Ordinarily, this should be decided by Gu Lin.

Seeing Wen Yan shaking his head, old man Gu thought that Wen Yan disagreed, and his face became even more embarrassed, "Xiaoyan, look..."

Gu Lin knew Wen Yan better and knew what he was thinking, so he squeezed Wen Yan's hand, and then said to Old Man Gu, "Father, this is a good way to deal with it."

Old man Gu was still a little worried, after all, Wen Yan hadn't spoken yet, and what he did was really not very kind.

Wen Yan shook his head, "It's okay, I don't plan to make waterwheels anyway."

He really doesn't plan to make waterwheels anymore. Waterwheels have already been promoted nationwide, but the technology is in the hands of the government, and the government's ones are only a little more expensive than his own. If he continues to do it himself Can't make much money either.

More importantly, he learned a lot of new tricks in the capital, and he was about to go back to Huazhen to try it out. Of course, he didn't have the time to make waterwheels.

"Ah?" Old man Gu didn't understand what he was thinking, thinking that he didn't do it because he took the blueprint out, and he felt very sorry.

"I'm going to make something new." Wen Yan didn't hide anything, and directly expressed his thoughts, "Uncle, if you are interested, we can make it together."

The old man Gu nodded. Although the family is not short of money now, most of the money comes from paper mills and liquor sales. In fact, it is Gu Lin's money. Although the family has not been separated yet, it can still be regarded as family income.

However, there is a big gap between Gu Lin's income and the income of other people in the family. It is impossible for the old man to feel at ease and treat all this money as family income. In the future, it will definitely be given to Gu Lin. If this is the case, the family will also have some income.

With Gu Lin's money at home, making money is not as urgent as before, so even if he wants to make money now, he can choose the industry he is interested in.

He has been a carpenter for decades. Although he is not a full-time carpenter, he still loves carpentry in his heart, so when he heard Wen Yan had a new idea, he immediately agreed.

Wen Yan was not surprised by his reaction, his skills were taught by a lonely old man, so he naturally knew what he was thinking.

"Then let's go up the mountain to find some good wood in a few days." Wen Yan said.

"Okay." Old man Gu said happily, he hadn't gone up the mountain for a long time, and almost forgot what the mountain was like.

After setting a time, Old Man Gu put the matter aside and talked about the paper mill.

After opening another workshop, old man Gu thought about the management of the workshop for a long time, and finally decided not to let the fat and water go to outsiders' fields, and invited Jing Mu and Jing Ren from the Jing family to manage it together.

Jing Mu is an honest man, so it would be a good idea to ask him to oversee the work. Although Jing Zhi is a bit more evasive, his wife is very stable, and the husband and wife manage the daily operation of the workshop together.

Facts have proved that this decision is very correct. Since the two Jing family brothers came to the workshop, the whole workshop has been in good order, and the paper produced is no worse than the workshop in Zunqian Village in terms of quantity and quality.

Old man Gu was very proud of his decision, and felt that he was particularly discerning.

But I have to tell Gu Lin about this matter. Although the workshop has said before that the old man will be in charge of it, but the old man will not be arbitrary. He was not there before, so he didn’t tell him. Now that he is back, it is natural. I want to say something.

After telling Gu Lin about the Jing family, Gu Lin was very surprised, "They don't make tofu anymore?"

"Do it." Old man Gu gave a different answer, "They still make tofu now, but the family hired a helper to help make tofu, and now they don't sell tofu themselves, but sell tofu Bring it to the villagers to sell."

Gu Lin understood it when he heard it. He didn't expect the Jing family to start a tofu wholesale business, but it looks good.

"Their family is doing well now. They just built a house last month." Seeing that Gu Lin was interested, the old man said a few more words, "Now the two brothers have their own independent houses, so there is almost no difference. home."

"Really?" Gu Lin was really surprised at this moment. The conditions of the Jing family were really not good before, and they were only a little bit better than the previous Gu family. I didn't expect that there are now two houses.

"Then can it be fake?" Feeling that he was being suspected, Old Man Gu raised his eyebrows, "They still built a big house made of blue bricks."

Hearing the envy in Old Man Gu's words, Gu Lin remembered that the Gu family's house was still the old house before, and it was not a big tiled house. No wonder Old Man Gu was envious.

He just wanted to say that we should build a house too, but he suddenly remembered that Gu Xian was about to take office, and he didn't know whether the Gu family would stay in his hometown or follow him. It's too early to talk about building a house, so He swallowed that sentence and said, "Then I should find some time to take a look."

Speaking of the green brick and tile houses, Wen Yan thought of his own house. Before his house was built, he had already gone to the capital. He hadn't seen what his house looked like yet.

Thinking about it, Wen Yan suddenly felt a severe itching in his heart, and couldn't wait to see how his house looked like.

"Uncle, I'll go home." As soon as he thought of it, Wen Yan greeted Old Man Gu and planned to go back to look at his house.

"Go home?" Old man Gu was taken aback for a moment, not understanding where Wen Yan was going back, but he quickly realized that Wen Yan already had his own house, and it was normal for him to want to go back and have a look.

He nodded, "I'll get you the key right now."

After the prescription was built, because Wen Yan was not around, the key to the house was kept by Old Man Gu first.

"I'll go take a look with you." Gu Lin said, the house was designed by him and built by his supervisor. Of course, he wanted to go with Wen Yan, introduce him to Wen Yan, and show off by the way.

Naturally, Wen Yan would not object. After getting the key from old man Gu, he took Gu Lin and walked towards his house.

"You haven't seen your house yet." Along the way, Gu Lin was very proud, and when he could see the house, he began to twitch, "Hey, let me tell you, everything in this house is mine. Isn't it very good-looking to do it yourself?"

Wen Yan put his mind on the house and didn't pay attention to Gu Lin's words at all. He just looked at the whole house carefully, back and forth, up and down, not wanting to miss a single brick.

Gu Lin said for a long time that he didn't get a response from Wen Yan, so he felt a little bored. Then he looked at Wen Yan, staring at the blue bricks and gray tiles, with tenderness on his face, just like looking at his lover.

"What's beautiful outside is what's beautiful inside the house." Gu Lin curled her lips, looking displeased.

Regarding his behavior, Wen Yan was speechless, but still obeyed his words, took out the key, unlocked the door, and walked into the house.

The house was built in imitation of a courtyard house. When you walk in, there is a huge yard with a peach tree growing on the left side of the yard and a ginkgo tree planted on the right side.

It's May, and peach trees and ginkgo trees are growing lush.

"How about it, doesn't it look good?" Gu Lin smugly said, "The ginkgo and peach trees are old peach trees and old ginkgo trees that I hired someone to find, I just don't want to wait for them to grow up slowly."

"Not bad." Wen Yan was somewhat disapproving. After all, he was not particularly attached to peach blossoms and ginkgo. It didn't matter to him at all that it wasn't a mature tree that had grown up.

After Wen Yan's affirmation, Gu Lin became even more proud, "That is, it doesn't matter who planted it."

He didn't feel guilty at all, he was obviously looking for someone to breed, and he had the cheek to say that he planted it himself.

Wen Yan didn't expose him, just wandered around the house.

Because of Wen Yan's affirmation, Gu Lin introduced this house to Wen Yan enthusiastically.

Although the house has been built, some furniture, decorations and other things inside have not been moved, and the whole house is empty.

While Gu Lin was introducing the house to Wen Yan, she kept talking about her plans, where to put a table, and to put a low couch under the window, so that she could lie there for the summer and so on.

The more Wen Yan heard it, the more strange it became. This seems to be his own house. Gu Lin behaved like a protagonist, what is he going to do.

"This seems to be my house?" After Gu Lin was beaming and talking about the furnishings of the main house, Wen Yan finally interrupted him, and reminded him that this was his own house, "It's up to me how to clean it up, right?"

Gu Lin acted as if it was a matter of course, "This will be my house from now on, of course I have to figure out how to tidy it up."

"What is your house?" Wen Yan didn't understand now.

"I will live here with you in the future." Gu Lin still took it for granted.

"Why do you live here with me?" Wen Yan was even more puzzled, but he didn't think about where he would live after marrying Gu Lin, so he was a little confused.

"If I don't live with you, who do I want to live with?" Gu Lin looked at you as a heartless person, "Are you going to be in chaos and abandon it?"

Wen Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why did I just give up?"

"Then why don't you let me live with you?" Gu Lin complained, "How dare you say that you didn't just give up from beginning to end?"

"It's not a question of whether I let you or not." Wen Yan felt like he was going to be dazzled by him, "but why did you want to live with me?"

"After we get married, who will I live with if I don't live with you?"

Wen Yan was stunned, and asked after a while, "You, you want to marry?"

"Huh?" Gu Lin's eyes widened. It took a while to understand what Wen Yan meant. Up and down issues quarrel.

So he asked seriously, "Can't you?"

"Of course, you can." Wen Yan said after a pause.

He still didn't react, he was a little numb, and Ren Gu Lin took him to visit the whole house.
