Chapter 250 Extremely poor again
After hearing this, Gu Daya's family realized that Gu Dashan had actually prepared a courtyard for their family.
"Brother..." Gu Daya choked with sobs, not knowing what to say.
She left that year because she didnt want to become a burden to Gu Dashan and drag him down for the rest of his life.
But now, her eldest brother's family is in trouble.
Gu Dashan smiled and said: "Don't say anything. We are brothers and sisters. We won't kiss if we talk too much."
Gu Jinli didn't want to see Gu Daya shed any more tears, so he stuffed a thin quilt into Gu Daya's hand and said, "Gu, let's go quickly. There are still so many things to take, and we have to work for half an hour." sleep."
I dont have time to say any more words of thanks.
"Hey, okay, aunt won't say anything anymore." Gu Daya took the quilt, and the family carried various things, then lifted Qi Kangping up, and walked majestically to the yard above the workshop.
They lived in the yard next to the workshop. The yard was dark. Gu Jinli took an oil lamp to light everyone. After entering the house, he lit a lamp in the main room.
Gu Daya looked at the house through the dim light. Although the house is an old mud house, it has been well tidied up. There is no musty smell in the house, only a faint scent of mugwort.
The ground in the house was filled and then tamped. It was very hard and smooth when stepped on, without any potholes.
The two rooms on the left and right of the main room have already been made with beds. The bed is very simple. It is made of large stones, wooden boards, mats and quilts.
"This room, bed boards, and quilts have all been smoked with mugwort. They are very dry and have no musty smell. You can live in peace." The third grandma put the things away and said to Gu Daya: "There are only two boxes here. I will wait for another day." Let Dashan make a few more and put things for you."
Gu Dashan said: "Look at what is still missing. If anyone wants to buy more, just tell us and we will buy more for you."
Gu Daya said: "That's enough, that's enough. Brother, there's no need to add more. It's already very good."
Mrs. Cui walked into the house and said to Gu Daya: "His aunt, the water has been boiled for you in the kitchen. You go and wash up when the water is hot. There are also some grains and vegetables in the kitchen, as well as dry firewood. You guys Use it first, and well bring it to you when youre done eating.
Gu Daya felt warm in her heart and didn't know what to say, so she could only nod her head in response.
Everyone worked hard for half an hour, and after settling Gu Daya's family in place, they returned home.
Before leaving, Gu Jinli said to Qi Kangming: "Second cousin, you are literate. If you don't want to do business and want to study, you can tell us. There are private schools in Qingfu Town. If you want to study, you can go."
Qi Kangming is smart and has studied with Mr. Li since he was a child. He is better at studying than Mr. Li. However, because he is a slave, he cannot take the exam for merit.
Now that he has redeemed himself and has become a good official, as long as Da Chu has a good official status, he can take the exam for merit.
She saw that Qi Kangming had some ambitions and was probably not willing to do business, so she asked this question.
When Qi Kangming heard this, his eyes lit up and then dimmed: "Thank you, cousin Xiaoyu, I'll think about it first."
He wanted to go to school and gain fame. Only by becoming an official could he protect his family.
But his family still has to rely on his uncle's family to make a living. If he goes to study at this time, wouldn't it be a burden to his uncle's family?
Gu Jinli said: "That's okay, you should think about it first."
The third grandfather told Gu Daya and Qi Pan here: "You guys go to bed early and get up early tomorrow to visit the village chief's house. You have just arrived, so you have to go to the village chief's house to give a gift and say hello. You can live in the village from now on. You dont need to prepare any gifts, Dashans wife has already packed them for you, and it will be done when you arrive. Okay, we must get up early tomorrow so as not to miss this. Gu Daya hurriedly He should say, this is a big deal and cannot be delayed.
After the third grandfather finished explaining, he saw that it was getting late, so he went home.
After arriving home, Gu Jinli and Gu Dashan took out the remaining money and said to Gu Jinan, "Brother, please do the math and see how much money we have left."
After going to apply for the house and land deeds, her family still had more than 120 taels of silver. When she went back to save Gu Daya's family, Mr. Qi provided the money, but her family also spent a lot of money to hire a doctor to treat Gu Daya's family. Got a lot of money.
After returning to the county seat, he went to the county government office to apply for household registration for Gu Daya's family. He spent a few taels of silver and bought four old courtyards for 24 taels. After all, their family's A trip cost a lot of money.
Okay, Ill forget it. Gu Jinan started to calculate the familys accounts.
Gu Jinli went to take a shower, and when she came back, Gu Jinan had already settled the account.
I spent sixty-two taels of silver to treat my aunt Da Yas family, and I spent sixty-two taels of money and medicine.
Doctors in Fucheng paid too much for medical consultation. Just for Dr. Xiao to look at Qi Panpan, Qi Kangping, and Qi Kangming's injuries, the consultation fee cost thirty taels. There was also money for medicine. They grabbed half a month's supply of medicine and spent ten taels. Three taels of silver.
Gu Daya and Qi Kangle were also injured, and they spent more than 20 taels on medical treatment and medication.
In addition, buying clothes for Gu Daya's family and food and drinks for everyone on the way cost almost ten taels of silver. In addition, buying a yard and transferring the household registration of Gu Daya's family to Dafeng Village cost another sum. money.
"This trip cost a total of one hundred and ninety taels of silver." As soon as Gu Jinan reported the account, Gu Dashan was shocked, looked at Cui and said, "Damn, I, I didn't know I would spend so much money. "
His family didn't have much savings. On this trip to rescue people, in addition to leaving thirty taels of silver for the family, he also took all the family's cash. After calculation, he actually spent all the money he brought. .
Ms. Cui was also shocked. She didnt expect to spend so much money. But this was to save someone, and the person he rescued was Gu Dashan's biological sister. She was also good-tempered, so naturally she wouldn't be dissatisfied: "It's okay, our family still makes a living with tofu and spices, and we can make money again."
Gu Jinli secretly sighed that her family had returned to before liberation and was extremely poor again.
But its okay.
"The deposit given by Mr. Lei Wu and others was not used. If the deposit was spent, our family would not only be depleted, but would also be in debt to several companies, and we would not even be able to get the money to buy medicinal materials for seasoning. "
Now they only spent their own money and did not spend the deposit given by Lei Wuye. They were lucky among misfortunes.
After settling the accounts, the family sighed for a while and then went back to their houses to rest.
The family got up before dawn the next day and started a new busy day.
Gu Daya's family also got up early. After cleaning themselves up, they came to Gu Jinli's house and followed Gu Jinli and others to help in the workshop.
In the workshop, everyone was already busy. He Laoguo and the others were very diligent. They came to grind beans early in the morning. After grinding for an hour, they would have breakfast.
Village Chief He heard yesterday that Gu Dashan and the others were back, and he even brought the girl's family here. He had wanted to visit the Gu family for a long time, but he was afraid of disturbing other people's reunion, so he had been holding back until now.
