Jiaohua Growth Guide [Rebirth]
Chapter 39
The documents were not delivered until five days later. Li Zheng and the patriarch came to the door in person with Gu Lao Er, and they also delivered 100 taels of silver.
Ah Bao took a two-day bath at the beginning of the month, and happened to be at home, because he didn't have a name yet, so Yu Lizheng gave the witness and the patriarch signed it on his behalf.As for Gu Ci, she, a girl who can't even enter the family tree, naturally can't sign on her behalf.
"Eldest sister..." The patriarch started, looking at Gu Ci's indifferent face, he suppressed the words that came to his lips, and handed the silver that Gu Lao had second-handed to her hand, "In the future, Take A Bao to live a good life."
"En." After this incident, Gu Ci lost the respect he used to have for the patriarch. He nodded and replied perfunctorily, "Let the patriarch worry about it."
The patriarch moved his lips, but in the end he just sighed. He knew that Gu Ci was better at twisting than Gu Laoer, and he had his own opinion. If it was a boy, he wanted to take Abao to set up his own family, and he agreed with both hands. But a girl...
Gu Ci didn't care about the patriarch's hesitant look on his face, took the tea brought by A Bao, and greeted them politely.
Gu Ci's attitude was not enthusiastic, and the patriarch was embarrassed when he stayed. He originally wanted Gu Ci to be polite, but when he saw A Bao from the corner of his eye, he was stunned, "I didn't take a good look at A Bao in the ancestral hall that day, but today, A Bao This looks more spiritual."
Gu Ci glanced at Gu Lao Er, and hooked the corner of his mouth mockingly, "Children are already lively, if they are raised well, they will naturally have aura."
None of the people present were stupid, so they naturally heard the implication of Gu Ci's words. Although the words were meant for Gu Lao Er, the patriarch felt awkward for some reason. He took a sip of tea and said haha, "It can be seen, The eldest sister will still take care of people."
Gu Ci didn't respond, seeing that Gu's second child was still staring at A Bao, she snorted inwardly, but she didn't show any emotion on her face, she turned her head to A Bao and said, "A Bao, go and see your sister Jiaojiao. What are you doing, don't let her run around."
Ah Bao was feeling uncomfortable being watched by Gu's second son, so he turned around and ran away after receiving Gu Ci's words.
It wasn't until people ran out of the house that Gu Lao Er came back to his senses.Since Ah Bao came here with Gu Ci that day, he hasn't paid much attention to it, and he hasn't looked at people carefully on weekdays.But after signing this document today, it will be different. From now on, this son will establish his own family, and it is not something he can handle casually. The son who didn't have much sense of existence in his mind was far from the timid little Douding in his impression, which made him feel a little strange.
As a father, it is true that he wants his son to live a good life, but what worries him is that his son is living well because he left him.
Regret, regret, anger, regret...
At this moment, all kinds of emotions rushed up, and Gu Laoer's mood was mixed, and he felt a little fear in his heart. Looking at A Bao's fair and clean face and more determined eyebrows and eyes, he felt for no reason that he was The son who has been neglected by him may really be a promising one.
Gu Laoer's face flickered, and it took a long time to look up at Gu Ci, and said awkwardly: "You have taken good care of Bao, your face has become rounder, and your stature has grown."
"I only have such a younger brother, so I will take good care of him naturally."
Gu Laoer knew that Gu Ci's words were insinuating against him again, but he could only pretend to be stupid and forced a smile, "Although we are separated, we are still a family. If something really happens in the future Difficulty, come to me..."
"Hehe." Gu Ci interrupted him with a chuckle, "Since the family is separated, there are two families, and two families don't talk about one family. I still say the same thing, every year and festival, I have one of the etiquettes that should be given. It's not a lot, but if it's too much, don't expect too much. The patriarch and Li Zheng are here today, so I've made it clear. Go home and tell Mrs. Liu, don't even think about coming to me again In the future, if Abao and I can't get along, you are willing to help out, it's out of love, not duty. Similarly, if Abao and I are lucky and our lives are better than yours, will you help me? You are also a matter of affection, not duty."
Gu Ci paused, then looked at the patriarch and Li Zheng again, "Tell me, the two elders, is this the reason?"
Since ancient times, it was difficult for upright officials to decide on family affairs. The patriarch and Li Zheng felt that Gu Laoer's family was a mess, and no matter what they said, they would always offend one party.
"That's the reason, but in the end it's a blood relationship, which is different from others."
"What's the difference?" Gu Ci raised his eyebrows, probably because he's been with Aunt Six for a long time, and she's learned a bit from this cynical and sarcastic tongue, "That cheap daughter who has no blood relationship at all. , Live better than the son and daughter of this direct relative. It can be seen that this Lao Shizi's affection has nothing to do with blood or not."
Every sentence pointed to the point, the patriarch shut his mouth in embarrassment, and pretended to bow his head to drink tea, "Since the document has been signed and the tea has been drunk, then eldest sister, we will not stay any longer."
Gu Ci couldn't wait to send him away, "The patriarch and Li Zheng are both dignitaries with a lot of work, so I won't stay anymore. I'll just take this trip today."
Everyone talked about this, so the patriarch and Li Zheng naturally chose to slip away.Gu Laoer was embarrassed to be alone, so he took a sip of tea and followed suit.
Gu Ci sent a few people to the door, then turned around and entered the room, picked up the paperwork and money on the table and prepared to put them away.
Mrs. Liu was probably trying to scare her off, knowing that she was not living in this dilapidated house, she specially gave ten ingots and ten taels of ingots, obviously she gave Gu Laoer two silver notes of 100 taels.
Gu Ci put the paperwork together with the paperwork she had used to separate the family, and put it in a jacket she folded. As for the 100 taels of silver, she decided to put it in the bank in the town and save it first.
Jiaojiao's medicine costs about 100 taels, and the medicine exchanged for velvet antlers can last until February next year, so the 100 taels will be deposited in the bank for three months at a fixed rate.
Although the family now has 200 taels, they can be regarded as a wealthy household in Gujia Village, but Gu Ci knew that if Abao was really a material for studying, the money would be like running water in the future.Especially when going to the town in the future, everything will cost money, and the school repairs in the town are more expensive, and the money is simply not enough right now.
Gu Ci calculated left and right in his heart, and still felt that the money was not enough, and he was afraid that he would not be able to move to the town in the spring of next year.
As the weather was getting colder, the old people in the village said that the gloomy weather might be due to heavy snowfall, and it was approaching the end of the new year. Gu Ci decided to take the two of them to the town while A Bao was resting tomorrow. It happened that the handkerchief and sachet in Jiaojiao's hand had all been embroidered, and the little girl's hands were itchy all day long, and she kept making small movements behind her back.
After making up his mind, Gu Ci went to the people with ox carts in the village and asked them all over again. Little Doctor Gu heard that they were going to the town again, so he simply advanced the plan to go to the town the day after tomorrow, and promised to take them to the town. , accompanied by a woman from the same village.
The next day the weather was a bit colder, the wind outside was blowing loudly, the little girl was greedy for the temperature of the bed when she heard the wind outside, and even pestered Gu Ci not to get up.
The spoiled little girl is getting more and more angry when she wakes up now, Gu Ci coaxed her softly for a long time before the little girl let her go, lazily lying on the bed, moaning and moaning.
There is little movement in winter, and Gu Ci doesn't save food. The two little ones in the family have started to grow meat sideways. The little girl pouted her buttocks and moaned under the covers, like a pink and tender little piglet.
After getting dressed by himself, Gu Ci took the newly made jacket for the little girl from under the quilt, raised his hand and slapped her butt lightly, "Stop moaning, get up quickly, let the little girl It won't be good if Doctor Gu waits for a long time."
How embarrassing to be spanked at such an adult.
The little girl looked at her accusingly, pulled the quilt and turned her head to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"You're used to it." Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Ci lifted the quilt, picked her up by the back collar of her jacket with one hand, and helped her put on the clothes.
After helping others put on the clothes, Gu Ci ignored her and went out to another room to check on A Bao. The self-reliant A Bao was already folding the quilt. Gu Ci praised him a few words and hurriedly washed up. .
After the two little ones washed up, she was busy going to the stove to prepare steamed buns. It was cold, and steamed buns could last for several days.
When they arrived in the town, they made an appointment to go back in the afternoon, and Gu Ci left them. She took the 100 taels of silver and deposited it in the town's Lucky Bank, and then took Jiaojiao and Abao to Jinxiufang to do embroidery. Taste.
"Oh, Miss Gu and Miss Jiaojiao are here." Shopkeeper Zhao greeted Gu Ci and the others enthusiastically as soon as he saw them, and at the same time greeted the waiter to serve tea.
"Didn't you make an appointment to deliver the goods again at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month?" Gu Ci felt that the enthusiastic attitude of shopkeeper Zhao was too much, and he couldn't help but become vigilant.
"Indeed." Shopkeeper Zhao beamed, looking at Jiaojiao as if he was looking at a cash cow, "It's been a while since I saw her, but Miss Jiaojiao is a little more fresh, no wonder this embroidery is so aura."
Gu Ci handed over the cloth bag containing the embroidery, "Shopkeeper Zhao, if you praise her like that again, she will go to heaven."
"Miss Gu is really good at joking." Shopkeeper Zhao took the cloth bag and took out the things. Looking at the handkerchiefs and sachets, the smile on his face grew wider, "It's not that I put Miss Jiaojiao on this embroidery work. Praise to heaven, but all the guests I have seen are full of praise, so I'm just waiting for the handkerchief from Jiaojiao girl."
Gu Ci was even more puzzled, "It's the first time Jiaojiao has come to hand in embroidery work, why did some customers praise her?"
Ah Bao took a two-day bath at the beginning of the month, and happened to be at home, because he didn't have a name yet, so Yu Lizheng gave the witness and the patriarch signed it on his behalf.As for Gu Ci, she, a girl who can't even enter the family tree, naturally can't sign on her behalf.
