Jiaohua Growth Guide [Rebirth]

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials. Although the villagers cried out for the new tax system, they did not dare to express their grievances to the tax collectors.Coupled with the favorable weather in the past few years, most of the families have accumulated some wealth, so the tax collection has not caused any major disturbances.

However, Gu Ci began to worry. This new tax reminded her that the current new emperor is not only incompetent, but also arrogant and extravagant. The heavy taxes are not used to build water conservancy and train the army, but to spend all Come build a palace and have fun.Not only that, it is estimated that God is also dissatisfied with the rule of the new emperor. It is impossible for the farmers to live a peaceful life on one acre of land with one year of drought and one year of flood.

But no matter what, she must take A Bao to divide this family, and the cleaner the better, she even hopes from the bottom of her heart that Liu Shi will turn this matter upside down. The second child made an ugly mess, and the dirty water would only splash on her.

Once the taxes were paid, the day soon came to the day when Gu Ci and Gu Lao Er agreed to separate the family, and the three uncles of the Li family rushed over early in the morning.

What moved Gu Ci greatly was that not only the three uncles came, but also the elderly grandfather followed.

"Grandpa, it's not a big deal. It's cold today. What are you doing here?" Gu Ci was moved, but also a little worried. The weather is getting colder every day. If Grandpa has something good or bad on the road, Then her sin would be great.

"Hmph, I've heard about what Gu Laoer and the Liu family did to you two." Blacksmith Li has always looked down on Gu Laoer, and that's why he married Xiao Li back then. He won't marry unless he has a daughter, he loves her dearly, so he obeys.

The third uncle is a hot-tempered one, and he also said after hearing the words: "Elder sister, my father is coming, and I agree with all my strength. If your third aunt hadn't stopped me, when I heard that pair of bitches from the Liu family beat A Bao, I would I just want to bring your uncle and uncle over here to beat up that bastard."

"Grandpa, uncle, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body first." Gu Ci took the tea that Jiaojiao poured over, and brought it up to several people, "I'm not a soft persimmon anymore, how can I let them pinch, let's talk Now, the Gu family and the patriarch and the elders are here, so you don't have to worry too much about where he can bully me."

"If those old boys really protect your brothers and sisters, they can make Gu Lao Er bully you two brothers and sisters to the point where you two look at your airy thatched hut now, and look at the blue brick and big tile house over there. Li Tiejiang snorted, took another sip of tea from the bowl, looked at Gu Ci, his tone slowed down, showing a little powerlessness, "In the eyes of the Gu family, no matter how capable you are, you are still an old man. Girl, even if you can't get married for the rest of your life, they will always treat you as an outsider. It's easy for you to separate, but Ah Bao... I'm afraid it will be difficult."

After all, Jiang is old and hot, Gu Ci's hand clenched, in fact, this is what she is most worried about.If it really broke out, the elders of the Gu family would probably still want to protect Gu's second son.

"Grandpa, this family, no matter what, I still want to divide. If they really don't want to let people go, then I can only go to the government."

Li Tiejiang sighed, "Then this Gu Family Village may completely lose your place."

Gu Ci smiled, "The sky is big and the earth is big, I'm afraid it won't work."

"That's right, it's a big deal, go to Lijia Village, as long as the uncles have a stutter, your siblings won't starve to death."

Li Tiejiang glared at the third uncle who joined in the fun, and when he turned his head to look at Gu Ci, his brows stretched a little, "Women who have been on the battlefield are really different, Gu Lao Er is a short-sighted person, so as not to teach Ah Bao badly, Now that you have made up your mind, then grandpa and your three uncles naturally want to support you."

"Grandpa and uncles don't have to worry, I'm not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet, but Gu Lao Er loves face, if he really wants to make trouble in the government, he can't let it go by himself." Although Gu Ci's attitude towards the clan elder was uncertain , but Gu Laoer still has a certain degree of certainty. As long as she is stubborn, the clan elders will not be able to suppress her, and Gu Laoer will only dare to admit cowardice.

After a few greetings, Gu Ci called Ah Bao, who was on leave today, to accompany his grandfather and three uncles, and she took Jiaojiao to cook in the kitchen.

"Don't do anything, just sit by the fire and warm up." Since Jiaojiao embroidered, Gu Ci never asked her to do housework, and he would call someone to help in the kitchen in front of his grandfather and uncle, but he just didn't want to Let them feel that Jiaojiao is lazy.

"Then I might as well embroider in the house." Jiaojiao didn't know her plan, so she threw the firewood in her hand into the stove. Seeing this, Gu Ci hurriedly pulled her up, "There are so many sawdust on this firewood. Your hand has grown tender these days, and it is the easiest to leave a hole."

The little girl was bored, curled her lips, took her hand and wiped Gu Ci's clothes casually twice, "I know, I know, what do you do with such a delicate material, anyway, you don't even let me embroider with better materials. "

Speaking of this, Gu Ci felt a little guilty, and didn't answer, he took a roasted sweet potato from the side, peeled it and handed it to her, "This was simmered in the stove last night, this one is the softest, and it still has a bit of warmth. You eat first."

Ever since he came back from the town that time, Gu Ci discovered that the little girl liked to eat roasted sweet potatoes. When Aunt Bangen heard that she wanted to buy sweet potatoes, she gave her a basket. In the stove, it can be eaten the next morning.

Knowing that Gu Ci was busy, Jiaojiao didn't let her feed it capriciously. She took the roasted sweet potato by herself, took two bites, and then held it up to Gu Ci's lips, letting her eat it, "This sweet potato is getting sweeter and sweeter."

"Auntie Bangen said that after a while, it will become sweeter and sweeter. If you like it, we will buy some later."

"Let's grow it ourselves next year, and don't buy it." The little girl felt that she was virtuous, and counted with her fingers, "My handkerchief and sachet are almost finished, after this delivery, I can ask shopkeeper Zhao to give me more." Well, handkerchiefs are easier to embroider than sachets, and those embroidered with flowers and plants are actually more affordable. After these handkerchiefs and sachets are embroidered, I can find time to think about new embroidery patterns."

Gu Ci kept moving her hands, she didn't know anything about embroidery, and she was not easy to talk to, "I don't care how much you can embroider, in short, you can only embroider for three hours a day, not more."

The little girl took a bite of the roasted sweet potato resentfully, and muttered: "Aunt Bangen said that you are making too much of a fuss. The embroiderer in Linglong Pavilion has to embroider for five or six hours a day, and she has to carry a lamp to embroider at night."

Gu Ci also imitated her, humming in a haughty manner, and the little girl was so angry that she stuffed the roasted sweet potato in her hand into her mouth.

Although the three uncles all said that they ate steamed buns on the road, Gu Ci still made breakfast for a few more people. Farmers don’t like to eat breakfast during the off-season. , I fried a few egg pancakes, which are the favorites of Abao and Jiaojiao. They all praised this food so delicious that they wanted to swallow their tongues. In addition, they cooked a pot of porridge.

Eggs are a good thing. Although the men in the Li family wanted to eat them after smelling them, they had the nerve to eat more. After eating a piece, they stopped moving their chopsticks. After Gu Ci's persuasion, they ate it happily.

Not long after eating, the clan sent a child over to inform Gu Ci to go to the ancestral hall.

It is a major event for a son to separate from his father, and he must enter the ancestral hall in front of the ancestors.Jiaojiao and Ma Lingling do not belong to the Gu family, and they are both female relatives. Naturally, they are not allowed to enter this kind of place, but their grandfather and a few uncles, as Gu Ci and Abao's male relatives, cannot enter the inner hall. You can still go outside.

"Grandpa and uncle are here." Uncle Gu Liu stood at the door waiting for Gu Ci. He saw the four of Li's father and son from a distance, and hurriedly greeted them with a smile. .”

Li's Village is also a large village, and has the most in-laws with Gu's Village, and the married women surnamed Li are all very virtuous, so the Gu family members naturally dare not neglect.

"My in-laws are welcome." Li Tiejiang replied blankly, "I'm not here today as a guest, I just want to see if your Gu family members are doing things fairly."

"Don't worry, my in-laws and my in-laws, the Gu family is fair in doing things." Gu Liushu glanced at Gu Ci, dissatisfied with Gu Ci's self-assertion in his heart, and calmly nodded with an apologetic smile. Several people went to the ancestral hall.

Gu Lao Er and Liu Shi brought Pang Dun had arrived. The door of the inner hall was opened, and Gu Lao Er could be vaguely seen kneeling on the cattail mat. They all sat in the outer hall. Although Liu Shi is the wife of the Gu family, she is not eligible to enter the inner hall, and the daughter of the Gu family is not eligible to enter the inner hall even if she is married.

"Eldest sister, you are so good that you want to tease Abao..." As soon as Gu Ci came in, the old man sitting on the left scolded her coldly. Halfway through the scolding, he saw the Li family father and son behind her, but he didn't mind. Feeling awkward, she just changed her words in a neutral manner: "Is this the father-in-law?"

The old man who spoke was two generations older than Uncle Gu Liu. He was of the same generation as Gu Ci's great-grandfather, and he was the only surviving old man of that generation.But he is stubborn and old-fashioned, and the younger generation doesn't like this clan elder very much, but he can't stand the seniority of this person, and he is usually notified if there is anything in the village.

"Second Grandpa, this is the in-law's grandfather and in-law's uncle." Uncle Gu was busy trying to smooth things over, and several other younger clan members also stepped forward, calling the Li family father and son to sit down.

Gu Liushu and Gu Lao Er belonged to the same generation, and they called Li Tiejiang according to Gu Ci's and their names.

"Uncle in-law." Li Tiejiang didn't show off, just pretended he didn't hear the old man's words to teach Gu Ci, and saluted respectfully. Well, if they put on airs with this person, it would be embarrassing for their Li family village.

This great-grandfather had long been used to relying on his elders to sell his elders, and relying on his seniority, he liked to dictate everything. He slightly nodded at the Li family and his son, and then went to Gu Ci, "A girl's family lives uneasy, and she just makes a fuss."

"Great-uncle." Gu Ci was not angry, he bowed to him, and sat down with A Bao. It seems that Gu Laoer still didn't give up, and even invited this great-grandfather over.

Sitting opposite Gu Ci, Mrs. Liu saw that she was being scolded, and glanced at Gu Ci with raised eyebrows. Since everyone from the Gu family was present, she didn't dare to act like she did last time.

"My father-in-law. The elder sister is a good one, but she has a lot of thoughts." Gu Ci didn't reply. The great-grandfather felt that he couldn't hold back, so he went to see Li Tiejiang again, "The Gu clan has been rooted here for almost a hundred years. Let's see when Had such a thing happened, the unmarried elder sister had to take the younger brother to live alone? Gu Erer is no longer a thing, and we elders help control it. How could it be her turn to be an unmarried girl? Help persuade her to stop messing around..."

"My grandpa..."

Before the third uncle Li Yingfeng stood up, Li Tiejiang pulled his son back, glanced at him coldly, Li Yingfeng calmed down, and then he stood up and replied, "My uncle's words are reasonable, indeed, the unmarried daughter Saying that you want to take your younger brother to live alone, this kind of thing is not only rare in your Gu family for a hundred years, it is also unheard of in our Li family..."

"It's good for my in-laws to be reasonable." The great-grandfather thought that Li Tiejiang had listened to his words, and his face became more and more smug, and he was even more displeased when he looked at Gu Ci, "Eldest sister has made such a ridiculous and foolish thing today. It's because my mother died so early..."

The great-grandfather remembered that Gu Ci's mother who died early was Li Tiejiang's daughter, and knew he had made a slip of the tongue. He stroked his beard in embarrassment, and said nonchalantly: "Although the eldest sister is like a mother, the eldest sister has a crooked personality. This brother really wants to be in her hands..."

"Uncle, please listen to me." Li Tiejiang didn't want to interrupt the elder, but the more he said it, the more unpleasant his words became, and his face turned cold, "My eldest sister lost her mother at the age of ten, and I am still a As a child, I have to bear the burden of taking care of a child. At the age of 14, I was willing to serve in the military in order to get money for my stepmother. My uncle said that my elder sister died early and lacked education, but where is the lack of education?"

"You said that she pushed her younger brother and wanted to separate the family. When she hurt her leg, who was the one who wanted to push her out, regardless of her life? Now why is she thinking about separating her younger brother?" Li The more the blacksmith talked, the more excited he was, he was patted on the back by the eldest son to relieve his breath, and then he continued: "What I have never heard of is that this is the first time I see a man like Gu Laoer who allows his second wife and stepdaughter to bully his first son." .”

"Don't get excited, my in-laws. If you have something to discuss, you can discuss it." The patriarch also heard the movement in the outer hall, and when he came out, he saw Li Tiejiang panting heavily excitedly, walking quickly with his cane He came over, patted his back for comfort, and looked at Gu Ci complainingly, "You should have notified me earlier that my father-in-law is coming."

"Don't blame Eldest Sister, I came here by myself, and she didn't know about it." Li Tiejiang snorted lightly, "Since the patriarch has also arrived, I will explain what I have said. Eldest Sister wants to separate the family. As his grandfather, he naturally agrees. As for how to divide the family, it is your business, and I will not intervene. But I will leave the words here. If your Gu family can't tolerate my poor granddaughter and grandson, I will not let their siblings starve to death, I will take them back to Lijia Village."

Li Tiejiang spoke gently and euphemistically, but anyone with a little brain knows that he is warning everyone: This family must be divided today, how to divide it is up to you, but once you divide it and let their siblings suffer, I will I didn't tell you anything, I just took the two siblings away and treated them as my Li family from now on.

When Gu Ci heard the words, her nervous heart became hot. She never thought that her grandfather cared so much about their siblings. It doesn't matter whether her grandfather's words are true or false, but being able to say such words for them is enough for her. Keep it in mind.
