Jiaohua Growth Guide [Rebirth]

The official family property division document will have to wait for a few days. It is impossible for the Li family and his son to wait here. Seeing that the patriarch invited the old man who often writes in the clan, and drafted the draft in front of Gu Ci and Gu Laoer, they Don't worry, I don't eat lunch, so I have to rush back.

Gu Ci knew that he made his grandfather and three uncles angry today, so he felt so guilty, he asked them to eat before leaving, and asked Abao and Jiaojiao to pull Tiejiang Li and not let them go, "I'm not capable , let grandpa and three uncles take this anger for nothing, if you just go back today, how can I have the nerve to come to the door in the future?"

"What are you talking about?" Tiejiang Li has been upright and frank all his life, and he has never attracted anyone in the same village. Today, he came to Gujia Village to suffer from this anger, and he was very aggrieved, but looking at Gu Ci and A Bao, I had to bear it again, "It's not you who made us angry, we care about what to do with you."

"But in the final analysis, you are all angry because of me and Abao." Gu Ci also went to ask Blacksmith Li, "Grandpa and uncle rarely come to my place, and leave without eating. When they turn around, grandma and aunt know You came here this time, but you still went back hungry, maybe you are worried that I will not be able to survive this day."

"Grandpa, uncle, you can go back after eating." Abao also persuaded, "Sister knows that you are coming today, so she asked someone to buy a lot of meat from the town yesterday, and a piece of smoked fish sent by Aunt Six is ​​also good." Save it for cooking today."

The father and son of the Li family saw that the Gu Ci sister and brother were determined to stop them from eating, and they also felt that it would be unseemly to go on like this. That's it."

Seeing that they let go, Gu Ci didn't argue with them, and hurriedly agreed, and then called a few people into the house. Jiaojiao quickly took out the melon seeds she bought earlier, and poured them neatly. tea.

Gu Ci worked as a cook in the military camp before, and he was always slick when cooking. Seeing that Jiaojiao couldn't stay idle in the stove, her hands were itchy and wanted to touch things, so he chopped some pork belly and mixed it with the dried mushrooms before. , rolled the dumpling wrapper, "Don't join in the fun, go wash your hands, and then use this to wrap the minced meat into a crescent moon, and eat dumplings at night. Didn't you tell me that the dumplings from Aunt Bangen's house are delicious a few days ago? "

"Okay." There was something to do, and the little girl immediately agreed. After washing her hands, she sat on a bench beside her and made dumplings. After making several dumplings, the skins were punctured, and she couldn't help complaining, "My fingernails are so dirty again." If it grows, cut it off."

Gu Ci glanced back at her hand, and found that it was indeed a bit long, "You wrap it slowly first, and I'll cut it for you later."

Jiaojiao responded casually, but she didn't pay attention, and poked another one, so angry that she wanted to bite off the unsightly nail, "Hair grows so slowly, but this nail grows so fast, it's annoying. "

Gu Ci chuckled softly, "That's because you want your hair to grow fast, and you don't want your nails to grow fast, that's why you feel that way..."

The two of them chatted one after another, and the food came out of the pot quickly. The little girl was still making dumplings slowly, and there was still a small half of the minced meat left unfinished.

"I'll take care of the rest later. You help my sister bring the food over to grandpa and a few uncles. I've been delayed in the ancestral hall for so long today. Lunch is late. I think everyone is hungry."

The little girl is also greedy for other things, and the dumplings that have been made for so long have long been tired of crooked, so she immediately brought the dishes into the main room.

There are no wild vegetables to pick in winter, and most people eat pickled vegetables. Gu Ci fried the meat and fish, and also made a bowl of poached egg soup. This dish is the best for the farmers.

"Eldest sister, you are a successful man, but now that the family is separated, Ah Bao and Jiao girl are still young, so the burden falls on you, so you have to save some money." Li Tiejiang looked at the fish and meat, feeling distressed.

"Grandpa, I know what's in my heart." Gu Ci knew that they were thrifty, but he couldn't bear her to get all the good dishes. "You guys eat openly today."

The third uncle had to be more straightforward, and when the food was on the table, he started to eat it loudly, "Father, the eldest sister has cooked it all, so let's eat it well. If we really can't make it through this day, let's eat it." Just help to pull it."

Blacksmith Li glared at him, took a bite of his meal, and was still worried, "Now that the tax system has been changed again, there will be wars, or other major events will happen. The gods fight, the villains suffer, the superiors quarrel, and the losers It’s us common people. You don’t need any land now, so what can you do in the future? 100 taels may seem like a lot, but it’s not an option.”

Speaking of this, the third uncle was also puzzled, "Eldest sister, the land is the foundation of the farmer's family. Why didn't you choose the land? Just foolishly being provoked by others?"

Gu Ci picked up chopsticks for Abao and Jiaojiao each, and then said in a calm manner: "I never planned to ask for land from the beginning."

Looking at the bewildered people, Gu Ci lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "To be honest with grandpa and uncle, the one who is in the high position in the capital now..." Talking about the king is a serious crime, Gu Ci just shook his head , and then continued: "If you don't keep it, the tax will only get heavier and heavier. I, a girl who can't get married, bring my younger brother and younger sister. In this village, it's a little sad to guard a few acres of land."

Blacksmith Li put down his chopsticks, frowned and thought for a while: "Then you have a plan?"

Gu Ci shook his head, "Let's wait until the spring of next year to see. I'm thinking of going to the town to rent a shop to do some business. Grandpa and uncle don't have to worry, Jiaojiao is now taking embroidery work in the town's Jinxiu Workshop. Life can still go on.”

"Since you have your own ideas, then I won't say more." Li Tiejiang glanced at Jiaojiao, "I heard from your second aunt that your embroidery is better than that girl Sanmei. It's all right, let the eldest sister take you to walk around the house together, and you can also give pointers to your sister Sanmei."

"I'll go when Abao Academy is closed for a month." Gu Ci didn't postpone it. Relatives need to move around more to get close, especially the grandfather's family. In the future, they should pay more attention, "Grandpa, I'm in the army anyway. I’ve stayed there before, and I heard from the generals in the army that the one in the capital now... In short, I’m afraid there will still be chaos, so you still have to be more careful.”

Blacksmith Li lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "I can save it."

Gu Ci just finished his point, no more to say.

After the meal, the Li family father and son didn't want to stay any longer, Gu Ci insisted on refusing to return the gifts they had prepared, and they left empty-handed.

The three siblings stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched them go downhill, and they didn't enter the house until they disappeared from sight.

As soon as the door was closed, A Bao was giggling there, Gu Ci and the little girl were taken aback, wondering what was wrong with him, "A Bao, why are you giggling all of a sudden?"

Ah Bao slammed into Gu Ci's arms. The usually well-behaved child imitated the little girl's coquettish appearance at some point, dangling around her waist, and stopped after a while, looking up at her with her small face. Looking at her, with bright eyes, "Sister, I'm happy."

"It's so good, how come you're so happy all of a sudden." Seeing that his younger brother was fine, Gu Ci also smiled, stretched out his hand to scratch his small nose, "Say it, and make my sister happy too."

A Bao pursed her lower lip, and buried her face in her waist again, "From now on, I will be the same as sister Jiaojiao, and we will be part of the same family."

Gu Ci's heart seemed to be scalded. How much did he miss in his previous life?

"A Bao and sister have always been a family." Gu Ci bent down, held his little face in his hands, and kissed him, "It used to be, it is now, and it will be in the future."

Abao nodded vigorously, and went to pull Jiaojiao again, "I like my sister, and I also like sister Jiaojiao. From now on, I will definitely study hard, even if you can't get married, I will take care of you."

"Who, who can't get married." Jiaojiao curled her lips, and took a sneak peek at Gu Ci, hum, she is already my sister's wife!

A Bao's face was flushed red by her, "I, I'm just making an analogy."

Gu Ci pinched the little girl's face, "If you are so skinny, you will make fun of Po."

"Who made fun of him?" The little girl was unconvinced, seeing Abao looking at her, she patted his head impatiently, "Okay, okay, don't worry, my sister and I will take good care of you Yes, I will raise you as our cub."

Gu Ci was angry and funny, he raised his hand and gently waved her head, "You are thick-skinned, how old are you? You said you want to raise Po as a cub? I'm not ashamed."

The little girl probably also realized that the words were a little shameful, so she pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Gu Ci ignored her, and said a few comforting words to A Bao, and then let the two go to play by themselves.

Abao skipped a day of homework today, and he was really anxious, so he dared not play, he took out the books in his small schoolbag and went over the previous homework there.

Jiaojiao embroidered the sachets all morning, but Gu Ci forbade her to embroider, so he took her to the stove to continue making dumplings. She moved swiftly, and Jiaojiao took the time to make one, but she made five, solid and beautiful.

"Okay, okay, don't make dumplings, go get some hot water to soak your hands, and I will trim your nails later." Seeing that the little girl had punctured the skin, she secretly took a new dumpling wrapper to wrap it outside, she really I couldn't see it, so I sent her, "By the way, go and see Abao, do you want to trim the nails?"

The little girl liked to be with her, so she reluctantly went to the house. After checking Abao's nails, she immediately came over with a basin of hot water, "Abao's nails are still short, so you don't need to cut them."

"Then you soak it first, don't be lazy, nails are hard in winter, if you don't soak them soft, it will easily hurt your hands when you cut them." Gu Ci's subordinates didn't stop, watching her put the water basin in the stove room without saying anything.

"Sister, my toenails are growing too." The little girl obediently put her hands in the water and kicked her feet, "Let's cut them together."

"The toenails are harder. When my sister cuts them at night when I soak my feet and go to bed, you are not too young. You can't let others see these feet during the day."

"What will happen after seeing it?"

Gu Ci glanced at her, threatening her: "Whoever reads it will marry you back."

"That sister has looked at her a lot."

Gu Ci paused in his hands, and said calmly: "So, you should grow up quickly, and my sister will marry you back home in the future."

The little girl finally became honest and obediently looked at the hands soaked in the water.

Gu Ci didn't respond, and continued to make dumplings quickly. After making the dumplings, she hurriedly put away all the cutting board and props. Knowing that A Bao was studying in the house, she didn't go in, and added a little to the stove. Taking the firewood, he pulled the little girl to sit on the open ground at the door, lowered her head and concentrated on trimming her fingers.
