Chapter 37 This home
Upon hearing this, Gu Erzhu secretly complained. Gu Wenxuan perked up, put his hands on his father's shoulders and pushed him, making Gu Erzhu laugh angrily.
His silly son~
In the upstairs room, which was half a granary and half a bedroom, Mr. Gu sat cross-legged on the kang, holding a pipe and nodding at the children and grandchildren in the room.
"This year, the weather has been good, and our family has been blessed with many happy events. Let me talk about the big happy events again. Starting next month, your eldest brother's monthly salary will increase by 300 yuan."
"How much?"
"Three hundred articles."
"It's increased by so much?" Gu Sanzhu was very happy, "Second brother, fourth brother, our eldest brother has raised his monthly salary again. Last time it went up by 100 yuan, this time it went up to 300 yuan. Will it go up to 500 yuan next time? ”
According to this calculation, there are one or three, and the next increase will also be six, six hundred yuan. Gu Laosi nodded happily and glanced at Gu Erzhu.
Gu Erzhu smiled and nodded. It was indeed a happy event for the boss to get a monthly salary increase, but since the boss had been a bookkeeper for the past two or three years, such a happy event had never been so simple.
The last increase of 100 cents meant that Dalang lost the rare opportunity to accompany his wife on outings. The combined expenses would be even more terrifying than if there had been no increase.
"In addition to this happy event, your uncle's shop is looking for a waiter." As he said this, Mr. Gu raised a finger, "Your uncle grabbed one."
Gu Erzhu secretly thought something was wrong.
The pie gets bigger and bigger as you draw it.
"The work is not tiring. I just run errands next to the shopkeeper, and I can learn a lot from it. Sanlang, Shiro, Liulang, who among you three is going?"
"Dad?" Gu Sanzhu rubbed his knees with both hands, glanced at his second brother and several nephews, and braced himself, "My Wulang is not young anymore."
Third uncle really wants this job? Gu Wenxuan was surprised. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood why Gu Sanzhu had to fight for his son this time.
Just right!
"I won't go." Before Mr. Gu could say anything, Gu Wenxuan took over Gu Sanzhu's words, "Fifth brother, go, the three of us have wives after all."
Brothers Gu Sanlang and Gu Silang looked at each other. Gu Silang looked away and said, "That's what I said, but if you have a wife, forget it, I listen to our grandfather."
Glancing at Gu Silang, Gu Sanzhu looked at Mr. Gu with some disappointment, "Dad, my Wulang has a good job. I'm not worried that he can't find a good wife."
You idiot, if your eldest brother is not around, why don't you, your uncle, teach your nephew a lesson? Gu Erzhu couldn't bear to see his honest brother being bullied by his nephew, so he decided decisively.
"Just go to Wulang!" As he said this, he glanced at Gu Silang angrily, "Then Ergouzi will come to the door again and see if I will break his dog's legs!"
"Second brother!"
Gu Erzhu immediately turned to look at Mrs. Gu, "Well, I almost forgot that Er Gouzi is still your incompetent nephew. Mom, it's not me who speaks harshly.
Not to mention that Da Lang has not yet become an official, but he is jumping up and down now. If he can, he will become a disaster sooner or later. You still have to chat with my uncle.
How can an elder always stir up trouble in front of the younger generation? I wish my Erlang, Liulang and Sanlang and Shilang would have a deadly feud. Isn’t that why I looked down on me back then——"
"Okay!" Mrs. Gu glared at her son, "You are the only one who talks too much. As for the head of the house, Wu Lang is the one to go. I make the decision."
Alas, I can’t let anyone finish my words, it’s so uncomfortable to hold them back. "In the early days, your cousin said that your uncle would marry his sister later, and your aunt would also marry him, which made dad very angry.
Your aunt is three years older and was about to find someone else. When word spread, your aunt's good reputation was lost, so dad beat him up, but he was still unconvinced.
In anger, my father said that our family will marry them until your aunt's mother-in-law. If he continues to talk nonsense, he will tell your eldest grandpa that the Tiangu family will not marry in the future. ”
Seeing his second brother whispering to his old son mysteriously in a voice that everyone could hear, Gu Sizhu couldn't help laughing anymore. What are you laughing at, you old pisser! Gu Erzhu himself couldn't help but laugh, "Who would have thought that he would hold a grudge for so many years, but it's not without its benefits. I heard before that the old daughter of the old Fang family was looking for someone else, so I thought that this child would be a good match for Shiro, and this little bitch would be the winner. The two sides have come together.”
Gu Silang was shocked.
"Your second uncle didn't deceive you." Mr. Gu sighed to himself, "If your second uncle hadn't asked your father to go to your uncle, and your uncle had to make peace alone, how would it have been possible."
"There is a family rule in our family that the daughter-in-law who enters the house does not have to hand over the money she saves. It was your second uncle who said it, and your grandparents decided it for your own good."
Hearing that Gu Laosi specifically mentioned this matter, Gu Erzhu smiled noncommittally. To say that the reason why this family rule was established at that time, the fourth child's contribution was not small.
At that time, the fourth brother fell in love with the fourth younger brother and sister, but the family still had to support the education of the eldest brother and the father. How could shopkeeper Lin agree to marry his daughter into the house, as he, the second brother, Hu Bei.
Seeing the sad faces of his parents, the fourth child suddenly couldn't bear the thought of doing business with others, so he tried his best to come up with such an impossible solution.
As a result, the daughter-in-law got married as she wished, but the old man didn't even tell her about the wages he earned, and he always made excuses to be away from home when the farming season was busy.
Not to mention, among the four brothers, except for the third child, none of them is better than him. It's not dark yet, so it's time to disperse and go back to each room to rest.
"Sit down." Mr. Gu was about to praise his son for being united so that his grandchildren could learn from him more, when he saw his second son standing up and wanting to leave.
Damn it!
I can't leave!
"This matter is settled like this. Listen to your mother and let Wu Lang go. Next, I will tell you a big happy event. Lin Xiucai said that Da Lang will be a success next year."
He knew something was up! How many times have you said this? Hui Hui said, Hui Hui can’t do it. Gu Erzhu glanced at his old son and then at his two younger brothers.
The third child didn't need to look too much. He opened and closed his mouth and opened his mouth again. He was so tangled. The fourth child didn't need to look too much. He was stupidly happy just now, but he lowered his head and pretended to be stupid again.
Too naive, too clever.
"Second child?"
"That's a good thing." Gu Erzhu nodded heavily, "That's great. Dalang has managed to get through well. You and my mother don't have to worry about how much silver it will cost."
It’s the same as saying it or not! Mr. Gu cast a sidelong glance at his slippery second son, "You need money even if you feel bad. After passing the county examination, there is still the hospital examination."
I have thought too much. It is still unknown whether I can pass the county examination in February or March next year. I have even considered the cost of taking the prefectural examination. This old man!
Obviously, there are many people here who think the same as Gu Wenxuan.
Mrs. Gu glanced around at the children and grandchildren present. She saw that some of them were either smiling and saying nothing, looking up at the roof, or looking down at the ground. Even Sanlang and Shilang were no exception.
This home.
"Every one of you should also think carefully about why your family has not been able to save any money over the years." As he said this, Mr. Gu looked at his old son, "Don't talk about spending money for your eldest brother and Dalang, each of you ask yourself whose daughter-in-law You don’t have to hand over what you earn, you can use it at home.”
"Dad~"
Wrong call.
"Mother~"
Enemy!
