A lucky wife born again from a farm family

Brother Cheng couldn't defeat Gu Jinli, so he could only wear a red cotton hat. But after getting used to wearing it, he fell in love with this hat again.

Gu Jinan has been very busy recently. He went to Shang's house for classes in the morning and went to Songzizhuang to work after school. But today is Brother Cheng's birthday and he came back early.

"Brother, I like my eldest brother the most. Where's the gift?" Brother Cheng rushed over when he saw Gu Jinan coming home.

Gu Jinan held him up, pushed him away a little, and said, "Don't pounce on me, brother is dirty. I'll hug you after I change my clothes."

Then he said: "This is the last time I hold you. You will be a big child after you turn five, and you can no longer be held by your elder brother."

Brother Cheng was unhappy: "Why? Brother Cheng used to hold Brother Cheng in his arms."

Ever since Brother Cheng could remember, especially when he was fleeing from famine, the people who hugged him and carried him the most were his father and his eldest brother. But his father was afraid of his grandparents and did not dare to protect him too much. Only his eldest brother dared to protect him, so he liked his eldest brother the most. With his eldest brother around, he would not be afraid of being beaten.

"Brother Cheng was young at that time. Now that Brother Cheng is older, the eldest brother will naturally stop hugging him." After Gu Jinan changed his clothes, he picked up Brother Cheng and said with a smile: "It's heavier, but it's also taller. From now on, Brother Cheng will have to carry Big Brother on his back."

Brother Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded heavily: "Yes, Brother Cheng will carry my eldest brother on his back from now on and won't let him walk."

Gu Jinli thought about Brother Cheng carrying Gu Jinan, who was several times older than him. The scene was unbearable to look at. He said to Brother Cheng, "You can't carry it, but you can carry my eldest brother's baby. Wait until your eldest brother gets married and has a baby." , you are now an uncle, and you can carry your eldest brother’s child to play.”

"Eldest brother's child?" Brother Cheng looked at Gu Jinan's belly and asked, "Was it born here?"

He touched Gu Jinan's belly again and asked innocently, "Does the eldest brother have a nephew?"

Gu Jinan's face turned dark and he said to Brother Cheng: "Brother is a boy. Men can't give birth to babies, only girls can... You don't understand this question. I'll tell you when you're older."

Brother Cheng smiled slyly: "Brother Cheng knows, you don't need to be taught by big brother."

The women in the village gossiped with great intensity. He couldn't understand them at first, but later he understood a little more.

After saying that, he was afraid that Gu Jinan would settle a score with him, so he hurriedly hid behind Gu Jinli and made faces at his eldest brother.

Gu Jinan shook his head helplessly. This little guy dared to play tricks on him. He was really cowardly.

After Gu Jinli laughed, he took the opportunity to give Gu Jinan the letter from Guanzhu Hu and the deed of betrayal from Mr. Xia's great-grandfather.

After reading it, Gu Jinan pondered for a moment and said, "Tell your parents tonight and send Brother Cheng to the Xia family to study tomorrow."

Xia Gu is indeed very knowledgeable and a very good teacher, but all they want is Xia Gu's knowledge, so that Xia Gu can teach Brother Cheng to become a talent.

As for Xia Gu's other little thoughts... Well, his younger brother belongs to his family, and Xia Gu is trying to win over him during the day. Wouldn't he wait until Brother Cheng comes home from school to win his younger brother's heart back?

Gu Jinli nodded: "Okay."

In the evening, Gu Dashan and Mrs. Cui came back with two tables of banquets.

That night, her family, Mr. Qin, and Gu Daya's family celebrated Brother Cheng's birthday.

Gu Jinli also used wax blocks to make small candles of different colors, stuck them in the cake and lit them, and asked Brother Cheng to make a wish. Brother Cheng was so happy that he happily celebrated the happiest birthday in his history.

But before dawn the next day, he was pulled up to get dressed, brush his teeth, wash his face, and go to school with his eldest brother.

Mr. Xia and his wife were very excited when they saw Brother Cheng coming to school. The couple personally came out to take Brother Cheng into the Xia family.

After Cheng Ge'er's birthday, He Dalin, the second son of village chief He, was also admitted as a scribe and became one of the officials in the county government.

Because he was from Dafeng Village, Village Chief He was familiar with the Gu family, and He Dalin was an honest man, County Magistrate Xu discussed with Magistrate Zheng and released him to the official office that manages the property deeds.

Those who can enter the deeded house are confidants. When Village Chief He learned that He Dalin had entered the deeded house, he almost jumped up with excitement and hurriedly told He Dacang: "Hurry up and buy a pig. Let's kill it and celebrate it for your brother." , it’s like eating pig-killing vegetables in advance.”

"Hey." He Dacang was also very happy. When he went to the stall the next day, he bought a big fat pig from Hukou Town and brought it back.

He Dalin also came back that day with his whole family, and went to Gu Jinli's house to express his gratitude.

He Dalin and He Dacang look very similar, both are honest and cheeky. But because of his soft temper, he looked a little silly, but after all, he had lived in the county for many years and could still speak. He said to Gu Dashan: "If it weren't for your brother An, I would have got into business." If I were in a dead end, I wouldn't be as lucky as I am today, becoming a scribe."

Gu Dashan smiled and said: "That's only if Brother He has the ability. If he is not knowledgeable enough, he will not be able to pass the county government examination."

Village Chief He was very proud when he heard it, and he almost couldn't help but say: That is, my second son's knowledge is enough to pass the scholar examination.

Fortunately, He Jinsheng was by his side. Seeing that he could no longer hold himself any longer, he hurriedly tugged on his sleeves and said, "Calm down, Grandpa, don't drift."

Village Chief He was pleased with himself for a moment, and then said to Third Grandpa and the others: "Brother Gu, Dashan, come to my house tomorrow to eat butchered vegetables. I will leave a separate table for the men of your family to sit and wait."

As for women, it is difficult to squeeze in. He Liu will deliver dishes to them alone.

Third Grandpa said: "Dashan and the others have been busy rushing goods recently. I'm afraid they won't be able to go. Brother Qin is still sad about Erlang... I can go by myself, and there is no need to stay alone. I can just eat with you."

Village Chief He wished for it: "Okay, let's have a few drinks tomorrow."

Village Chief He and his family sat at Gu Jinli's house for half an hour. After thanking the Gu family, they went home.

The next day, although the weather was so cold that the breath turned to ice, the village was very lively. Everyone went to the village chief He's house to have a banquet, and even the Lu family went to congratulate him, which made the village chief He feel very proud.

After the pig-killing feast, He Dalin's family returned to the county town and lived in a newly rented courtyard. They officially went to the Yamen to start work the next day.

Not long after He Dalin went to the Yamen to work as a scribe, Bantou Yang and others came back with the peasants serving as corvees.

The weather has been extremely cold this year, and many people have fallen ill. Three farmers in Xianggui Town and Daxing Town have died of illness, and two others were swept away by the water and drowned while cleaning the Huai River mud.

Fortunately, all the corpses were found and brought back, otherwise the farmers in Tianfu County would be in trouble again.

The two bastards He Laosi and He Daqian were not dead. They came back with the men in the village, but they lost a lot of weight.

Gu Dewang specially took Gu Defa and Gu Qingxi to see it, and came back and told Gu Jinli: "Sister Xiaoyu, that He Laosi seems to have injured his leg. He is limping. He is probably lame."

Gu Defa said like a young adult: "It's good to be lame. In the future, he won't be able to run fast when he steals other people's chickens and ducks."

Gu Jinli laughed when he heard this, gave them pastries to eat, and asked Brother Fa: "When will you go to a private school to study? Is your mother still waiting to be the royal wife? Brother Xi will also go to school next year."

Gu Qingxi is Gu Dalin's youngest son.

Gu Dalin is very smart and thinks far ahead. He has already planned to send Gu Qingxi and Gu Qingtian to a private school in the spring of next year. There is no right to say whether they will pass the exam or not, but they must take the exam. If they fail, they will give up.
