The husband's son-in-law

It took about a week from making up my mind to actually leaving the village.

The fields were drawn by lot.In front of the village head and several senior uncles and uncles in the village, written evidence was established. The field is still the Li family's field, but it is only rented out by everyone. Every household in Zhongtian does not hesitate to use whatever is in the field. Every November, when the farming season is busy, they prepare two buckets of grain.

Two buckets and forty catties.

The village has peanuts, yellow rice, wheat, rice, and [-] mu of land, which add up to [-] catties.There are three members of the Li family. Except for Gu Zhao, who eats a little more, Li Da and Li Zhouzhou eat well. They can eat this amount of staple food for almost a year.

In addition, Gu Zhao is a granary student. After entering the official school, he has four taels of silver every year and three buckets of rice every month.

Twenty scholars are selected, divided into three grades, the first grade is the granary students, the second is the augmentation students, and the third is the epiphysis.Gu Zhao was a scholar in the spring of Kang Jing's 50th year, and his grades were third, so he was naturally within the range of first-class students.There is no money for the second and third class, unless the first-ranked students are admitted to Juren, and the second class is added to the first-class quota.

This is all definite.

That's why Gu Zhaocai said that the whole family moved to prefectures and counties to live, and the expenses were not particularly large.It saves money on food, four taels of silver can be used for the family's daily expenses of salt, oil, vinegar, sauce, clothing, charcoal fire, etc. Saving money should be enough.

Of course, paper and pen books are additional expenses.

Generally speaking, there are no major problems in daily life in the prefecture and county.It's better for the family to be together and save some money than living separately in two places. Anyway, Gu Zhao can't do without his wife.

He doesn't want a long-distance relationship.

Gu Zhao is now in the booklet of the Li family, and he has been selected as a scholar, and he can be exempted from grain tax for [-] mu.His family only has [-] acres of land, and there are [-] acres left. Gu Zhao said it depends on who his father wants to give it to.

Li Guihua didn't know where she heard the news about the food tax exemption, so she took her things and ran over. It's still the same old saying, although Gu Zhao entered the Li family, he is also a child of the Gu family.

"To be exempt from grain tax, the land of the Gu family must belong to the Li family. According to my father's register, according to the land law of the Dali, the land of the Gu family belongs to the Li family. Mother, you trust Zhou Zhou and father so much. , I didn't expect it, I was so moved." Gu Zhao was happy, with a happy look of 'OK, OK, go through the formalities immediately'.

Li Guihua: ...the smile froze.

Her family's field has become Li's field?

Of course not.She can't even believe Gu Zhao, marrying someone is like throwing water, turning her elbows towards Li's house, now she can't wait for her to hang in the Li's family booklet, she didn't have any good intentions on time.

Later, Li Guihua gave up her idea of ​​hanging in the field.

The remaining [-] mu of land was assigned to the village head's family, ten mu was given to the uncle's family who borrowed Li Da's money to buy dry land, and the rest was given to Li Er's family.

People in the village were surprised that Li Da gave back to his brother Li Er, thinking that there was a quarrel, and they couldn't help saying that Li Da was still soft-hearted and was thinking of blood.Li Er heard it by himself, but he couldn't hold back the redness of his eyes, he called "brother" in front of Li Da, and slapped himself severely, saying that he was the one who was blind before.

As for whether it is true brotherhood or not, of course not all of them.Li Da didn't think about it for Li Er at all, so Gu Zhao mentioned it.

Give the village head and uncle a good word.In ancient times, every household in rural areas had deep roots, and the law enforcement powers of village chiefs and patriarchs were often more practical than county magistrates. After all, it is anecdotal that one of several generations of the village can go to the prefecture to beat the drum and sue.

As soon as their family left, the agricultural registration was still in the village, so of course they wanted to befriend the village chief's senior uncle.As for giving Li Er's family ten acres, it was for the sake of the Li family's reputation.Also for himself.

The reputation of a scholar in ancient times was important, especially if he was a son-in-law. To be honest, being a son-in-law was considered shameless among scholars.Of course Gu Zhao didn't think so.

In addition, Li's family and Sanfang had a feud, and Sanfang still had his parents. Emperor Kang Jing admired filial piety. Now that he is studying in the imperial examination, if he is promoted one more time, Sanfang will push the old man Li to make trouble. At least the villagers can testify.

It's not that Li Da is not filial to his parents, nor his siblings, but Li Da thinks of brotherhood towards Li Er.

The [-] mu of land was divided among ten families for nothing, so it was natural to say good things about the Li family.Not to mention that there is also a method of fertilizer, Gu Shulang teaches it for free, and every household in the village has a good harvest. This is a huge advantage that can be seen.

Favor and reputation in the village is a kind of knowledge, and it is not a loss.

Li Da and Gu Zhao dealt with these matters in the village. Li Zhouzhou packed things at home, such as clothes, bedding, pots and bowls, his husband's pen, ink, paper and inkstone books, and two stoves for heating the fire, etc.

Of course, you can't finish it all at once.

Because my father was still living in the village for more than two months, the guys who waited for the pot to eat only took part of it, and left a portion for my father.The same goes for bedding.

There are a lot of mules in the cart, and the family of three walked there. When they were tired along the way, another person went up to sit and rest for a while. The things were heavy, and the mules naturally walked slower than when the cart was empty. If it goes well, it will arrive in two days. Just close the city gate, otherwise you will have to sleep outside for two nights.

I didn't bring the plaque of a good farmer at home, but hung it in the main room of Li's house.

Even if Li's family all went to prefectures and counties in the future and were not in the village for a long time, some Xiaoxiao from outside might not have the guts to dare to break into the house with the signboard presented by the mansion.

After everything was settled and taken care of, the Li family drove out in a mule cart before dawn.The day before, all the deliveries from the village had been delivered. Brother Xing came over with Yuan Yuan in his arms, his eyes were red from crying, and he said that it was a good thing for Zhou Zhou to go to the prefecture and county, and he would be a native of the prefecture in the future.

Li Zhouzhou said that he was just studying with his husband, the books had not been changed, and he was still from Xiping Village.

"Not the same, I always feel that you will be different from me after you leave." Brother Xing couldn't say it, but he really thought so in his heart.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been holding Li Zhouzhou's head in everything. They are both brothers, only half a year older, and they are still cousins. People in the village only say that he is good, and that he is good everywhere. Later, Li Zhouzhou even followed him. Nothing compares.

Under such circumstances, Brother Xing is of course arrogant.But now he feels that he is no match for Li Zhouzhou, and he may not even be qualified to be with Li Zhouzhou in the future.Brother Xing was naturally bored for a while, and even had a quarrel with Wang Shitou.

Wang Shitou said, do you think I am a farmer and have no skills.

Brother Xing saw the man talking and arguing with him, but his eyes were sad, and he immediately understood that he was no match for Li Zhouzhou, and men shouldn't be compared with others.

He hugged Wang Shitou and cried, saying that Li Zhouzhou was sore in his heart, and he didn't look down on Wang Shitou.Brother Xing knew that his man was kind to him and cared for him. When he was not pregnant with Yuanyuan, his mother-in-law didn't like him and always said that he was protected by men.

What he wanted to eat when he was pregnant, in the cold weather, Shi Shi managed to find it for him.

Putting it this way, the relationship between the couple is even better.Of course, Brother Xing'er's heart is still sour, but knowing that his life is important, being sour is of no use.

After walking for two days, the road went smoothly, and finally arrived before the gate of Fu County.

I still rented the inn near the city gate the last time I came, and rented it for two nights first.

The waiter in the shop recognized the three of Li's family at a glance, because this brother was different, he was born tall, half a head taller than him, so he didn't look like a brother.On the contrary, this brother's husband, who is thin and handsome in vain, is a scholar, and he has never seen such a good-looking one.

Now that the three of them were pulling the mule cart and pretending to be a guy, I asked one more question, and when I learned that the scholar was admitted to the scholar, I couldn't help but smile sweetly and congratulate: "Congratulations to Mr. Gu."

A scholar is respectfully called a gentleman, and he is a master.

Xiao Er is right to call it that, but Gu Zhao heard it strange, and changed the subject, "Excuse me, are you a local? I have now passed the entrance examination, and will enter a government school soon. The family wants to settle down in the county. , do you know where to rent a yard, and where is the dental office?"

"I live in a village outside the prefecture and county. I have been a waiter in this inn for five or six years. I see a lot of traffickers and pawns coming and going. You are asking the right person." The waiter is also enthusiastic. He is a waiter. I have seen many people, but it is rare for a scholar, especially a scholar, to talk to them with such a smile.

"Our prefectures and counties are also easy to divide. The gates of the city face south. There are many traffickers and pawns here. The yamen is on the east side. The government school you want to enter is on the north side. On the west side, there are more people living and doing business..."

"There is a dental shop not far from here, but it is not recommended to go there if it is a small one. Most of the dental staff in that family go to the government office to do errands for registration. If you want to choose a house to live in, you should go to the west to find it."

Xiao Er finished speaking, brought hot water and left.

The three of Li's family washed up and went to bed early. The next day, one stayed in the inn to look at things, and the two went out to the rented yard to find the dentist.It was finally decided that Li Zhouzhou would stay and watch things, and Li Da drove Gu Zhao there in a mule cart.

Gu Zhao is now a scholar, so he can still use it when he is new to a strange place.Otherwise, some people think that you are from a foreign country, you are old and you are a brother, although Li Da is tall and looks strong, but in the prefecture and county, can you still do it?

As middlemen, these gentry are the best at watching people order food. If you deceive a stranger, the lease contract can deceive you, and you are not afraid of suing the government.

Just like modern college students renting a house after graduation, it is easy to be deceived by black-hearted intermediaries.

Now I won’t cheat you out of money and not give you a house, but if you promise well, the house introduced to you may be in trouble, such as the owner’s family has a lot of work, or the neighbors are not good, or the house is unlucky, etc.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, the whole family drank hot water with a big steamed stuffed bun, as long as they were not hungry.Li Zhouzhou sent his father and Xianggong out, saying: "I will not go out at the inn."

The two felt relieved, left quickly, and returned early after finishing their work.

The innkeeper looked interesting, thinking that this guy is not good-looking, maybe there are people who are not open-eyed and will take advantage of this guy?This worried the father and son too much.

When he arrived in the west, Gu Zhao asked a local person to inquire about it, and soon found a dental clinic. Recklessly.

"If you want to be close to this official school, there is a courtyard, and it is not expensive."

"How much?" Gu Zhao asked.

"A year's rent is 20 taels of silver." The dental man opened his mouth, and then hurriedly said, "I dare not deceive you."

Gu Zhao didn't show any signs of expression, and asked if there were any other courtyards, could you take a look?My dad drove over in a mule cart, can we come and see for ourselves?

Yaren naturally agreed, and said that it is just right for you to have a mule cart. In the past, people used two legs to look at the house and yard. One family was on the east side and the other was on the west side. In our prefecture and county, it takes three or four days just to look at the house yard. , maybe you can't meet your favorite one.

I got on the mule cart and went to see the yard.

The official school is in the north, and it occupies a rather large area. It is quiet in the middle of the noise, and it is called Qingping Academy.Then there is the Hutong residential area, called Qingping Lane. According to Yaren, all the people living here are scholars, and there are yards bought by local gentry and lords for their children to study.

Don't think about it, I can't afford it.

If Qingping Academy is the center, Qingping Lane is the first ring, radiating out, and the government school can be reached in a 15-minute walk at the farthest.They were looking for it on the second ring road, and went to the alley that the Yaman said was 20 taels of silver.

"I'm not boasting, this courtyard has good feng shui. Two people who lived here before were hit by juren. The neighbors are all harmonious people. Just look at this courtyard. When you enter the door, there are five blessings on the wall..."

Ya people’s boasting is not just boasting, the yard is really good, it may have been repaired, the paint on the doors and windows is probably new, and they brought some simple furniture, such as tables and stools.The environment is also quiet, in broad daylight, no noise can be heard in the box.

"Is there any place that is more remote than this? I like the ones that are more lively at home." Gu Zhao said.

It's not that I like to be lively, mainly because it's expensive here.

Yaren heard Xian knew the elegant meaning, and said cheerfully, "Yes, as long as you like this location, there is another one, which is farther away, and it may take more than two quarters to walk to the academy..."

That's about half an hour.

It is the distance from Xiping Village to Dongping Village.

"But you are studying and going to the old man. This place is more suitable for quietness, and that place is much worse." The tooth man said, seeing that the scholar was unmoved, he locked the courtyard door and got on the mule cart Well, he could see that the courtyard was decided by a scholar.

After all, the car was driving fast, and before reaching the entrance of the alley, there were loud shouts on the street.

"Look, this side is next to the street, with a shop in front and a yard in the back. You are here to study and not to do business. Most of the yards rented here are for small businesses. It is noisy during the day, not quiet. .”

Gu Zhao thinks it’s good, the market is lively and life is convenient, and it’s convenient for his family to go to the street every week to buy vinegar and salt—of course experience tells him that it’s cheaper here.

There was a front shop in front, and the mule cart went around the back alley, and the noise suddenly became much quieter.There is also a pomegranate tree in the alley, and the children of these residents play around the tree, bouncing and bouncing, and when they see the unfamiliar faces driving the mule cart, they stand aside and watch.

"Here we are." The dental man pointed to a painted and mottled wooden door and said, took out the key to open the door, and pointed to the end of the alley and said, "Look at the end of the alley, you two, there is a well at the end of the alley. You can buy it there, but we don’t need it in this house, there is a well in the yard of this house, so we don’t need to spend money to buy water.”

Gu Zhao understood the meaning of the words, don't look at the broken and mottled doors of the house, but there is a reason why the well is expensive, let alone expensive.

The yard is quite big.Because the front is a front shop, the door they came in was the backyard door, so the layout is not very beautiful when you push the door in. There is a latrine on one side and a thatched shed next to it. The previous owner may have used it for stacking sundries. Yes, now there are a few logs lying horizontally in a mess, and the wind and rain are almost getting worse.

But Gu Zhao thinks it's good to be able to settle in the position of the mule in the family.

The house facing the street is supposed to be the main house, four rooms larger, so the courtyard layout is not small.The dentist said that it can be changed. The previous owner had two rooms for business and the other two were sleeping rooms. Now bricks can be laid to seal up the business shop, which is equivalent to four sleeping places in the main house.

There are two rooms against one side wall, one for the stove and one for the firewood room for sundries.And then it's gone.There is a well in the corner over there, and the yard is full of weeds, which is very barren.This house doesn't look very good, it is indeed broken, the tiles need to be repaired, otherwise there will be water leakage.

Gu Zhao stood in the room, looked up, and traces of light leaked out.

The dental man smiled a little, and said that it is good to look at the well, and it is convenient to drink water...

Started boasting.

"How much money a year?" Gu Zhao asked with a smile.

It takes 14 years for a tooth to open its mouth.Gu Zhaowen 14 Is it the money for repairing the roof, laying bricks and sealing the pavement, and buying furniture?Tooth man: ...

Then the dentist changed his words and said that for the sake of being a scholar, I will give you a discount. You see, the first year is 12 taels of silver, which is regarded as money for changing tiles and bricks for you, and the second year is 13 taels of silver. ?

"Father, what do you think?" Gu Zhao asked his father without answering the question.

To tell the truth, Li Da didn't take a fancy to the green brick house built by himself in the village. He used good materials, it was sturdy, the yard was big and open, and the house was bright and wide. Yard so much money?

Returning 13 taels of silver, how can this be worth 13 taels?

Li Da's face was sombre and he didn't speak, obviously he didn't like it.Gu Zhao regretted that it was a little more expensive and a little broken, so let's take another look.

The dental man hurriedly stopped him, gritted his teeth and said, "Ten liang in the first year, 11 liang in the second year, there can be no less. Look at the location, we are on the street, it is convenient to buy and sell, and it is not too far to go to the government school. There is also a well..."

Then it's settled.

Of course there are better ones, but they are more expensive, like looking at the courtyard on the second ring road from the front, there are four rooms in the main room, and four rooms in total in the two rows of side rooms. A small garden, the price is 20 taels, no bargaining.

Gu Zhao estimated in his mind just now that a house in this prefecture is about 20 taels a room, and the second ring yard is rented for 20 taels a year for ten houses, and if it is sold, it will be about 200 taels.

It's not easy to rent there, it's expensive, and the locals don't dare to raise the price too much.On the contrary, this house is cheap, and it is not conspicuous to raise the price by one or two taels.

"One more question, how much is this?"

"If you buy it, this yard doesn't want you anymore. The master's family quoted 120 taels, and we get [-] taels of silver for this business." Yaren knew that scholars would not buy it. He was really rich, so how could he rent it? This broken yard.

Buying and renting is almost one hundred to one based on the monthly rent.But the yard is old, so it's much cheaper.

The price has been negotiated, and the lease agreement must be signed.The master's family is from the prefecture and county. Yaren saw that it was getting late, so he made an appointment to sign in the afternoon. He had to go to the master's house to inform him that in the afternoon, the master's family would bring the deed, and the Li family would bring the registration book.

That's right.

Gu Zhao and his father went back to the inn. On the way back, Gu Zhao asked his father if he didn't like the courtyard just now?

"I'm looking at Po, but I also know that you care about money, and you have lived through hard times." Li Da knew that Zhao'er was kind, and if it was really for enjoyment, he would be the first to look at the 20 tael yard. , why set that broken.

I also know how many dizhao'er the family has, and it's not impossible to rent 20 two yards.But Li Da doesn't like it selfishly, and also thinks it's too expensive.

Sitting on the mule cart, Gu Zhao confided with his father and said, "Actually, I think it's pretty good. It's not far to walk. If father finds a living in the prefecture or county in the future, if he goes out of the prefecture to go to the surrounding villages to kill pigs and pigs, you can drive the mule cart." Going out is also brisk, and I will not delay walking to school."

"Our family has enough sleep. If you and Zhou Zhou have something to do with the two extra shops, you can start a small business if you want. But these are all for later."

"Let's fix the shed, and there is room for the mules. The extra piece on the other side of the well does not look small. Whether it is for ordering food or pulling a rope to dry clothes, the rice brought back from the village can also be pounded. open."

"It's already a happy event for a scholar to be admitted. Dad, I speak from my heart. I have no idea about the exam. I spend a lot of money on studying, so I just want to save as much as I can."

Li Dagang still disliked the yard, but now he heard Gu Zhao say, thinking about how to repair it, the yard is really good.

"It's not bad. Although the place is not as open as our village, it's okay."

The yard in the village is used to dry food, so it is naturally spacious.The prefectures are of course different.

The two talked, and it took almost an hour to drive the mule cart from the rented yard to the inn, and it was past lunch time.Li Zhouzhou was relieved when he saw his father and husband came back.

The family ordered noodles at the inn.

When Gu Zhao talked about the situation in the yard, Li Zhouzhou didn't think it was bad. On the contrary, he was looking forward to the future life and had already planned it. "It's fine if we can eat Chinese food, and we don't need to buy food."

"It's good to have a well, so you don't have to spend money on water."

"There is also a shed where mules can be tied, which is great."

"It's also close to Xianggong's school, which is great."

Li Da listened to what Zhou Zhou said, and glanced at Gu Zhao. The young couple wanted to go together, and they didn't feel that life was hard, so it was done.The hard days are not over.

After a hasty meal, the luggage was loaded into the mule cart, and the family walked over.

Fortunately, the appointment was late.Before leaving, Gu Zhao gave Xiao Er two pennies as a thank you.The money is not much, Xiao Er is happy to hold the money for a meat bun, and he doesn't feel troubled by feeding the mules and carrying luggage after busy work.

The homeowner was also happy to learn that a scholar rented his yard. If the scholar gets a fortune in the future, his yard will also be lucky. If he fails the exam, it will not hinder his house.

So they looked at each other's house deeds and registration books, and after confirmation, they wrote the lease contract and paid the money.

The Li family paid the money for three years.On the way here, Gu Zhao discussed with Zhou Zhou. Originally, it was said that it would be two years, but Zhou Zhou gave the calculation to the minister, saying that more than half of this year has passed, and if you want to go to school to study, you should take your time and take your time. There is nothing to be afraid of for another year.

While waiting for news from the prefecture and county in the village, Li Zhouzhou knew that his husband was also worried.If it was two years, he was afraid that his husband would have a heavy burden, so he said what if the price would increase in the third year?Still good for three years.

How could Gu Zhao fail to see that Zhou Zhou was lenient and told him to take it easy.

Rent a house for three years, ten taels in the first year, and 11 taels a year for the remaining two years, a total of 32 taels of silver.The Yaman was given half a pen and five hundred Wen, and the owner of the house also gave the Yaman five hundred Wen.

After that is settling.

The owner of the house was naturally happy when he saw that the rent of Li's house was three years' worth of money. He enthusiastically asked where to buy bricks and tiles, where to buy furniture, and where to buy cheap beds.There is no furniture in the house, and I am not willing to spend money to stay in a hotel, so I just make do with the ground floor for a few days.

Li Da was not willing to spend the money to hire a bricklayer, and he built the houses in the village by himself.

Li Zhouzhou said he would too.

So Gu Zhao did some cleaning work, weeding the yard, scrubbing and scrubbing, it was really convenient to have a well in the yard.

Li Zhouzhou worked swiftly and meticulously. When he was in the village, he took good care of the house. When he came to this yard, he arranged it after getting familiar with it, saying: "Let's not build the shop next door. Let's keep one for the rest. The three of them are still the same as in the village, the middle is used as the main house, and they eat and rest on weekdays..."

The broken tiles on the roof were peeled off, and Li Da replaced them with new tiles, which were smoothed with yellow mud and wheat straw, and the seams were tightly fitted without leaking light or rain.The shed in the yard was dismantled and reinstalled, using good materials, making it bigger than before, and building a roof with the remaining tiles.

The roofs of the latrines were all replaced with broken tiles that could be used.

The windows of the house need to be re-pasted. Li Zhouzhou has done meticulous work, and the doors and windows have been re-painted.

The old courtyard suddenly became brighter, and the furniture was brought into the house. Among other things, there must be tables, stools, beds, wardrobes, and communal desks.

When everything was settled, it was already five days later.

Li Zhouzhou stewed dry rice, made meat dishes, and steamed a steamed meat bun—this is for Dad to take on the way back to the village tomorrow.

The past few days have been hard, and I have eaten meat and meat tonic.

"I'll go back tomorrow. I don't know how the crops in the field are." After eating a bowl, Li Da was not so hungry, and said: "The animals in the backyard at home have been cooked before Zhou Zhou. Don't worry about the crops, Li Er is not a beast who always wants to help."

Li Zhouzhou spent more than half a year raising the pig Tian’s to buy. Li Zhouzhou’s food is good, the pig is strong and meaty, and the chicken can lay eggs. When Tian heard that Li’s family was going to the prefecture and county, he came to ask. to give money.

Now that the backyard is empty, Li Da does not need to raise pigs or chickens.Ten mu of wheat is in the field. According to the current reputation of the Li family in the village, the big guy helped and harvested it easily.

"When my food is sold, I will save a few stones, and I may not come back until mid-July." Li Da was afraid that Zhou Zhou would worry that he would not come back, so he agreed.

Li Zhouzhou served his father a second bowl of rice and said yes.

From childhood to adulthood, he and his father have not been separated for so long.

"Zhou Zhou, you have grown up and become a family. If you have anything to discuss with Zhao'er, listen to him more." Li Da saw when he was renting the yard that Gu Zhao was teasing Zhou Zhou on weekdays. It pretends to be soft, but it can actually stand up to things outside.

Gu Zhao stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and assured his father seriously: "Father, you can go back home safely, as long as I am here in the prefecture and county, Zhou Zhou will not suffer."

"I know dad." Li Zhouzhou responded.

Only then did Li Da feel relieved, and when it was night, he left 30 taels of silver for Zhou Zhou, and said, "You can keep the money, and you can tell Gu Zhao, but don't give it all to him, it's not my father's defense." Looking at him, just, just worried about you."

"I know." Of course Li Zhouzhou knew that his father was not dissatisfied with his father-in-law, otherwise he would not have said that he could tell his father-in-law, but his father was just worried about him.

In the end, there was nothing to explain, so Li Da went back to his room.

When he came to the prefecture, Li Da had a total of 140 taels of silver in his hands, 100 taels were given by the mansion, and the remaining 46 taels were the grain sold and the money saved by pigs. More than four two.

In prefectures and counties, it cost 32 taels to rent a yard, and six taels of silver to repair the roof, brick walls, furniture, etc., as well as rice noodles.Just gave Zhou Zhou 30 taels of silver, now there are 78 taels left.

Li Tianran didn't dare to bring so much money with him on the road, so he wandered around in his house, finally found a place, moved the bed, pried open a brick, and put the silver wrapped in cloth into it.

Just leave a half puncture on him.

There is a main room in the middle.

When Li Zhouzhou returned to his and his husband's room, he saw that Xianggong was making the bed and said he was coming, but Gu Zhaotou didn't reply, "It's ready, I can sleep now. Don't worry, Dad is strong and strong, and the way back and forth is safe. There are no bandits, nothing will happen."

Night roads are not safe, and in some remote places with poor public security, there are small bandits who will snatch mules and money when they see you driving a mule cart.However, it is generally picking someone to start.

The law and order in Ningping County is not bad, and I haven't heard of any bandits.

"Father just gave me 30 taels of silver." Li Zhouzhou said.

As soon as Gu Zhao turned around, he saw his silly Zhou Zhou spread his palms to show him the money, and he couldn't laugh or cry, but his heart was warm. He knew why his father gave Zhou Zhou the money, and he didn't know why, so he didn't think about whether his father was on guard against him. .

It doesn't have to be so narrow.

Parents love their children with all sincerity and sincerity.

Dad has been away for more than two months, isn't he worried about Zhou Zhou?Besides, Zhou Zhou's personality——

Gu Zhao squeezed his wife's face, "You are really not afraid that I will coax you money, and you will do all the hard work in the future, and I will not give you money. Once Dad leaves, I will bully you severely."

"Sister-in-law can't." Li Zhouzhou sat by the bed, looking at him with bright eyes, "I'm not a fool, I know who treats me well."

He has seen malice since he was a child, so he naturally knows who treats him sincerely.

"Then what if I'm really that bad?" Gu Zhao thought of the scum in his previous life.

Li Zhouzhou thought about it carefully, "Then my father and I are the most important things first. If, if my husband is really that bad, I won't tell him about my background. Keep some money for self-defense and just live a good life."

"Sanggong, don't say you are pregnant, I don't want to think about it, there is no if."

Gu Zhao then went into the arms of Zhou Zhou, his family, and said coquettishly: "Don't talk about it, if there is no chance, I am Zhou Zhou's wife's beautiful little husband-in-law, of course I listened to Zhou Zhou's words."

Li Zhouzhou laughed, and Xianggong teased him again.

Li Zhouzhou collected the 30 taels of silver.The husband and wife were lying on the bed, because they were used to sleeping on the kang, Zhou Zhou was not used to sleeping on the bed, but as soon as the husband came over and hugged his waist, Li Zhouzhou felt at ease.

"Selling pigs, chickens, and what I saved before, I still have 30 taels of silver here. I think we will spend this money first, and the [-] taels will not move. Let's talk about it in case something happens."

"Okay, I'll listen to Zhou Zhou." Gu Zhao spoke happily while stroking his wife's chest muscles.
