Chapter 32 Brother Mang asks for gifts

After the three-day period, there are several autumn rains, and the cold weather gradually sets in in Dengzhou.

There are only two months left before the winter moon. The land within a radius of dozens of miles in Sun Xin's village has been fenced. Among the fences, Sun Xin led the villagers to open up more than 500 acres of land.

Water wells were dug, irrigation canals were combed, and supporting retting pits were built. At this time, corn and lush winter wheat were all growing.

As the wedding day got closer and closer, Hu Sanniang's trips to Shili Pai became more and more frequent, and Hu Taigong seemed to be too lazy to take care of it.

Early that morning, Sun Li came to Sunjiazhuang with Madam Le.

As soon as she entered the house, she bumped into Hu Sanniang.

The uncle came to see the wedding room, but he saw his daughter-in-law, who had not yet walked in, sitting in the room. This made Hu Sanniang blush a little, and she quickly stood up in embarrassment.

Fortunately, Sun Xin appeared in time, carrying a medicine basket and a small hoe and said to Hu Sanniang: "Everything is ready, let's go up the mountain."

Today Sun Xin called Hu Sanniang to go up the mountain to collect herbs.

Hu Sanniang responded with a blush, Sun Xin said hello to Sun Li and took Hu Sanniang out together.

After Sun Xin left the house, Sun Li called to untie the treasure.

Gu Fudao: "What could it be?"

Gu Jia knew his father's character and couldn't persuade him even if he wanted to, so he nodded.

Sun Li was furious, and Li Zhi was finally frightened and said quickly: "I will also send two taels of silver to Sun Xinguan and his people to celebrate."

Gu Jia said "Xie Zhen" before leaving.

These three taels of silver were the price he had negotiated with Zou Yuan before, so it wouldn't be unpleasant to tell them. Since each of the three dealers had more than a dozen dealers, it wouldn't be too much pressure to share them equally.

Gu Fu frowned instantly, "What do we mean by him getting married? That woman didn't send her to our room!"

Sun Li looked at the two of them, "Boy, this is a major event in my brother Sun Xin's life. If it is placed in other village owners' homes, the housekeepers will have to go to the village owner one by one to collect the money."

Sun Li was stunned when he heard this, and then slammed the table: "What I want is this face. Go back and ask your children, he also knows how my Sun Xin treats you. Do other Zhuangzi have such a master?"

Gu Fu's neck was full of trouble: "My family is very poor and we have no money. I don't know what happened today. If it happened, I wouldn't come."

As for the money, the banker's refusal to give Sun Xin face is obviously bullying Sun Xin to speak easily. Talking in the ears of other landlords will make Sun Xin looked down upon, so Sun Li must mention something today.

them.

At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked several times.

He cleared his throat and said, "You have been working at my little brother's village for these few months. Do you think your life is getting along well?"

So Sun Lida said: "You also know that my younger brother will marry Hu Sanniang of Hujiazhuang in two months. Since he is the owner of the village, how many ideas do you, as the heads of tenants, come up with?"

Gu Fu was furious, and Gu Jia had no choice but to let Gu Fu go on his behalf.

Gu Jia didn't want to take any money either, but he said: "Just give me some amount, and next year we will plant the land in his village. Such favors will eventually go away."

It was one thing that Sun Xin was a kind-hearted person and didn't want to show off in front of these dealers, but the dealers themselves didn't show any expression, which made Sun Li a little unhappy.

After arriving in Sunjiazhuang, although Sun Xin did not pay Sister Gu any wages, she still helped them open a few acres of vegetable land for Sister Gu to plant. She would also buy some vegetables from her to give Sister Gu some income.

In a simple but tidy small room, Gu Jia held a corn cob in his hand and handed it to his father, Gu Fu.

On the other side, Li Zhi was sitting there like a Buddha, staring at the tea cup in front of him carefully, as if he was in trance.

"Dad, don't muddy the waters!"

As the time comes to the end of autumn, the first crop of corn is about to fall. The corn variety Sun Xin brought is not suitable for fresh consumption and is used to make corn noodles. However, considering that no one has tasted what corn tastes like, so

While it was still relatively tender, Sun Xin asked the dealers at the village to break off a batch and give it to everyone to take home and try.

But Sun Li came to Sun Xin's village so many times, and he found that although the villagers in Sun's village were not lazy in their work, they had never shown such respect to Sun Xin.

Gu Fu chewed the corn and said, "There are only a few people in this village. It's really boring. I'm leaving today. Bring me some corn cobs later."

"Which one?"

Gu Fu only said that his son Gu Jia had eaten too much and had difficulty eating, so he came on his behalf. We are all a family, and the father made the decision for his son. This was considered a family matter, so Sun Li naturally didn't say anything.

Li Zhi and Zou Yuan both nodded.

Zou Yuan first offered three taels of silver to force him into the palace. As soon as he said this, Gu Fu looked away, as if he had not heard Zou Yuan's words at all.

After hearing this, Gu Fu sat down on the kang again. He said, "At this time, I will go for you."

"Gu Jia, brother Sun Li asked our village leaders to gather at brother Sun Xin's house."

"Furthermore, your Sun family is so powerful that you still need these few taels of silver from us? Your marriage is a great event, so why haven't you sent us any money?"

These days, tenants farm the land of the landlords. It is reasonable to give gifts to the landlords during festivals and festivals. It does not matter how heavy the gift is, but it is at least a pound of meat, two bottles of wine or a fish, which is enough on hand.

Must get by.

Gu Fu picked up the stick and took two bites. It was the first time for people to eat this kind of fresh and sweet food. It was fresh and delicious. Gu Fu, who had come to his son's house for a short stay in the past few days, also particularly liked this bite. Gu Jia

As the head of the village, he almost ate all the tender corn he was given to relieve his boredom, and even Gu Jia's son didn't even eat a few.

After he finished speaking, he exchanged glances with Zou Yuan, and then Zou Yuan, who was sitting next to him, said: "Sun Xinguan's wedding is a great event. I will pay you three taels of silver at this time."

Gu Jia smiled and said: "Probably Sun Xin is getting married, so Sun Liti will give us some ideas."

"got it."

"Go and call all the three heads of the village."

Sister Gu knew this, so she worked diligently. Early this morning, she and her sister-in-law went to the vegetable garden to hoe the fields. The children at home also went to play, so at this time there were only Gu Jia and Gu Fu on the kang.

When Gu Fu heard this, he said angrily: "You are a pickled person, how dare you talk about your father like that?"

"Brother Li Zhi, Taigong Gu..."

In the courtyard of the village, there is an earthen house with bright windows and a table with eight immortals. Sun Li is sitting in the position of the master. Li Zhi is sitting on his left, Zou Yuan is sitting opposite, and Gu Fu is sitting on the right.

Gu Jia's guess was correct. This was the real reason why Sun Li came today, and the reason why he wanted to take advantage of Sun Xin's time to go out was because he had mentioned it to Sun Xin several times before, but Sun Xin kept hesitating. Sun Li

It was obvious that Sun Xin didn't want to accept gifts from his boss, but in his opinion, this was something he had to do.

Gu Jia was startled.

"Dad, give me another stick...don't you really want to stay for a few more days before going?"

Two taels... Sun Li took a deep breath.

At this moment, Gu Fu also rushed to speak: "In that case, we will also send a gift of one tael of silver. The family is in trouble and there is really not much."

Sun Li sneered, clenched his fists, and finally nodded:

"Okay, you think this money is wasted, so you don't want to spend more. If I pick on you, it is not a good man's behavior, but I have this sentence: When my Sun Family Village becomes prosperous in the future, you have missed the opportunity!"
