Chapter 34 Go to Du's House

Although Grandpa Gui Er was taciturn, he was the head of the family. Since he spoke, Gui Wu and Jiang could only listen.

Gui Wu mentioned the house repair again. Grandpa Gui Er frowned. This time he made the decision and changed it to Grandma Gui Er: "I will clean up after the wheat is harvested!"

Guichun and Guiqiu are old, so they immediately said that they would marry their wife and that the house would be cleaned up sooner or later.

Even when Yang heard this, he was only happy. He turned around and went into the east wing. When he came out, he held a purse in his hand and handed it to Gui Wu, "My sister-in-law saved some money here. Although she didn't pay anything, she would make up the number."

Gui Wu was not willing to accept it, so Yang said, "If Xiao Wu doesn't accept it, he will think that the money is too low."

After saying all these words, Gui Wu could only accept it. He had no choice but to collect it. He had a lot of money, and hemp ropes were both new and old. This money had been saved for many days.

Gui Wu thought for a while and said, "I used pine wood beams and poplar window doors to build a house. Now the beams are good, but the window doors are not good. I just changed the window doors and supplemented the roof tiles, which would not cost much money."

Grandma Gui nodded and said, "There are two stagnants of money at home. You can exchange a few more money for wheat harvest. It's almost the same as buying it. You don't need to buy wood outside, just cut it from the forest. There are a lot of big trees left inside."

The good fields of the second grandma Gui's family were sold long ago, leaving only six acres of land and a few acres of forest land that had little production. They could only plant millet and sorghum. The wheat fields mentioned in the backyard refer to the backyard. Their family was the last trip. There was no one behind, and the garden expanded to a size of a small acre. Except for a small piece of vegetable planting, they all planted wheat.

Gui Chongyang saw the family discussing the matter of discussing how many cents of money they had to repair the house, so he went to see Jiang. Jiang and Gui Wu appeared to be "out of the house" on the surface, but Jiang wore a bracelet on his wrist and two jade hairpins on his head. With a pair of solid gold bracelets given by Mrs. Jiang before, the couple did not seem to have no money.

Jiang stood honestly behind her husband and acted well, and did not interrupt. He neither despised the poor and passionate family, nor was he a very decent person.

Jiang noticed Gui Chongyang's gaze and looked over. Yesterday, Gui Chongyang said that the village was not good, but she misunderstood that she did not welcome the couple back. Later, she realized that she was thinking too much.

Gui Chongyang next talked about buying property in Xiji Town. He didn't be wary of anything because Jiang was there. He directly said that he bought a house and could rest when he was in school in the town. He also encouraged Gui Wu to buy it together, and his uncle and nephew were neighbors, which also saved outsiders from bullying each other.

Gui Chongyang did not say how much money he had, nor did he ask how much money he had. He neither despised Gui Wu and his wife being "out of their homes" nor did he peek at Gui Wu's private wealth, but he was sure that Gui Wu would have the ability to buy property in the town.

Gui Chongyang’s respect for Gui Wu comes from the heart. Jiang naturally felt that he felt a little more sincere love for this nephew.

Seeing Gui Chongyang's bored look, Jiang nodded comfortably.

"The village chief has to go there." Grandpa Gui Er said.

No matter what personal grudges the Gui family has with the Du family, Village Chief Du is the village chief after all, and the Gui family can get a household registration through him, but they will always avoid him. Every year, they pay taxes and corvee labor, they have to pass through the village, fish ponds, and forest land in the name of village property, but in fact the village chief is also taking care of it.

Gui Wu nodded and agreed, and Grandpa Gui Er looked up and greeted Gui Chongyang: "Dragon will also come over together."

Gui Chongyang is completely speechless.

There is no reason to use people to do things without any effort, otherwise it would fall into the hands of the villagers, and the Gui family would be rude.

Grandma Gui called Guichun to catch a chicken, and then carried the chicken. Grandpa Gui Er took his son and nephew to the village chief Du's house.

On the way, a villager took the initiative to greet Grandpa Gui Er.

Grandpa Gui Er also stopped and answered one or two.

I should know Gui Chongyang’s identity these days; but Gui has been in the village for three consecutive days on May Day, so some people are curious.

"Is this a little boy? Are you coming back and coming?" Someone asked curiously.

Grandpa Gui Er said, "The little boy took his wife home and lived there. In two days, he will make some wine. My brother will come over to have a cup."

"Oh, I must have gone there, I'm greedy for wine." The man was a little surprised and still responded with a smile.

Along the way, such conversations were two or three times. This was also a disguised announcement, announcing that Gui Wu, who had once raised a son-in-law, had returned home.

Grandpa Gui Er was leaning on a crutch, but his waist was straight, and his face was still not smiling, but his voice became much clearer.

Thirteen years ago, many villagers were alienated from the Gui family, and the women at home did not allow their children to play with the Gui family; but the older villagers all admired the favors and character of the older generation of the Gui family.

In this life, there may be times when there will be disasters, but how many people can sacrifice their family and life for their brothers like Grandpa Gui Er and Grandpa Gui San? Everyone scolds the "second fool" and is not unwilling to envy.

During the time of speaking, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren had passed the big banyan tree in the village and came to the door of the Du family.

The Du family is a large blue brick house near the big banyan tree. Unlike the fence walls of each village, the Du family uses blue brick walls, which are more than five feet high and two black painted doors, which are also elegant.

When the knocking sounded, a 50-year-old old man opened the door and looked at Grandpa Gui Er: "How many are you?"

The combination in front of me was really strange. The old one looked like a villager and the small one looked like a visitor from the city. He was carrying a big rooster, and the old heaven couldn't get it.

"I am from the Gui family in the west of the village. I come to find the village chief to talk to him." Grandpa Gui Er said.

Lao Cang asked a few people to wait and go in and report.

Gui Chongyang whispered: "Is this a servant of the Du family?"

Gui Wu said: "To the outside world, he is a cousin, and he has always been able to do errands. Not only the one just now, but also a son, who helps village chief Du manage the village. Now the grandson's generation is about the same age as you, following Du Qi. There is also a family, and a man manages the town's shop."

Although Gui Wu had just returned from Xiji Town, he knew very well about the Du family?

Gui Chongyang's heart moved and couldn't help but look at Gui Wu's face.

Gui Wu's face was calm, and he looked at Du Zui everywhere, but his eyes were filled with coldness.

The Du family moved to Dujia Village thirty years ago, so naturally they would not build such a big house when they first arrived. This house was built thirteen years ago, and six Cheng Dings died in the Gui family. After Du became the village chief.

Now when people talk about the incident back then, they only know that Village Chief Gui didn’t teach his children strictly, and Gui Yuan was cheating on his father. How many people know about Village Chief Du’s small actions inside?

When the Du family went to the room, Village Chief Du sat on the kang and ate tea slowly. Li was beside him, a little restless: "Can you tell them to wait like this?"

"What's wrong? Humph, they settled directly in the yamen. If they had sex, they would go to the town to live. They would either have to go back to the village to dig food, but they would always fall into my hands. They just wanted to let them know that when they returned to Mujia Village, they had the final say. If they were the tiger, they had to lie down, and if they were the dragon, they had to trample on their hands!" Village Chief Du said with some pride.
