Once the new house is built, all it needs is the furniture.

There are also furniture sellers in the town, but the prices are much higher. After the Lu family built the house and settled wages for the craftsmen and workers, there was not much savings left.

Father Lu also worked as a carpenter when he was young. It was not difficult for him to build furniture, but he did not have the tools at home.

In addition, he had not done carpentry for many years, so he had to hire a specialized carpenter to make furniture.

After the last tile was put up, when the wages were settled, Father Lu also paid brothers Lu Yuanping and Yuancheng according to the workers' money, but they refused and went home.

Father Lu and Mr. He made some plans and went to the town to buy some pork and other fruits. They went to the village chief's house. Two brothers, Yuan Ping and Yuan Cheng, came to help build the house. After working for so long, the money You still have to give it, and they will remember this favor.

"Brother, there's no need to give. They're going to help you build a house. We're all a family, so how can we ask for money?"

The village chief pushed the money handed over by Father Lu and waved his hands, refusing to accept it.

These days, the two sons go to help Father Lu build a house. The work is really tiring, and he knows it.

However, I heard that the Lu family ate white flour steamed buns and white rice for lunch until they were full. Their two sons went to help. Instead of losing weight, they started to gain weight on their faces.

"Lihua, please stop pushing around. If the two children come to help, we will be very happy. Please accept the money quickly."

Mr. He was also advising the village chief's wife: "Brothers and sisters, please accept it quickly. We won't give you more. It's all the hard-earned money of the two children. You can treat this money as buying candies for Yinyin."

But the village chief and his wife still pushed him, saying they didn't want the money.

When the village chief called these two sons to help, it was for the sake of their clan members and he didn't even think about asking for wages. Father Lu and Mr. He were too polite.

Standing behind the village chief's wife was Ren, Yuancheng's daughter-in-law, holding her child in her arms, looking at the pile of silver on the table. Her eyes kept wandering, and she poked Liang, Yuanping's daughter-in-law next to her.

Mrs. Liang glanced at her: "Brother and sister, what's wrong? Why are you poking me?"

Everyone who was pushing away turned around and looked at Ren after hearing this.

Ren's face stiffened, and she glanced at the silver, stretched her neck and said, "Mom, I think you should just accept it? This is also the kindness of Uncle Lu and the others."

"Ms. Ren, shut up. Do you and I have the final say in this family, or do you?"

"When the elders speak, how can you speak?"

When the village chief's wife drank, seeing Ren's face full of displeasure, Ren shrank back in fright and no longer dared to say a word.

Her man, Lu Yuancheng, was speechless when he saw her. Ren always looked very nice and was gentle to her. The only bad thing about her was that she loved money.

Moreover, when my parents were talking to Uncle Lu, he and his eldest brother had nothing to say, but Mrs. Ren jumped out. It was really embarrassing for the family.

Father Lu and Mr. He smiled: "Brothers and sisters, Yuancheng's wife is right. You really should stop trying to shirk it. Yuancheng and Yuanping deserve this money."

"If you don't accept it, we won't be able to ask you to help us with other things at home in the future."

After Mr. He finished talking about it, the village chief's wife looked at the village chief and saw that he didn't refuse, so she reluctantly accepted it.

In the evening, after Gu Yunxi had washed up and his hair had not yet dried, he read travel notes under an oil lamp.

Lu Jianchuan walked in and saw her sitting lazily reading a book. He felt very relieved for some reason.

Lu Jianchuan took out the linen parcel from his arms and handed it to Gu Yunxi.

"What is this?" Gu Yunxi took it and looked at the linen package curiously.

Lu Jianchuan: "You will know after you open it and take a look."

Gu Yunxi became even more curious. He opened the package with a smile and saw a gourd inside?

Lu Jianchuan gave himself a gourd? what does this mean? Gu Yunxi stared at Lu Jianchuan with doubtful eyes.

"This is for water. You can bring water with you when you go out in the future." Lu Jianchuan explained with a smile on his face.

Is this for water? Gu Yunxi didn't react for a moment. He was holding the gourd in his hand, and when he looked carefully, he saw that the inside of the gourd was still smooth. He didn't know how it was made.

According to calculations from a previous life, such a gourd can hold at least one liter of water.

"This doesn't look cheap. Where did you get the money?" Gu Yunxi said with a smile, with some emotion in his eyes.

After being in this era for so long, this was the first time I received a gift, and it was exactly what I needed. I could feel that he was very considerate.

I didn’t expect that Lu Jianchuan had such a delicate mind! Gu Yunxi felt happy and looked at Lu Jianchuan with a gentle look in her eyes.

"I earned it myself. Yesterday I went to town with you and sent the copied book to the bookstore. I paid the money first and bought one for you and dad each."

"How much is it?" Gu Yunxi asked.

Lu Jianchuan would not lie and answered honestly: "Fifty yuan a piece, it's not expensive."

"Fifty cents a piece? Isn't that expensive?" Gu Yunxi rolled his eyes.

Although this gourd looks delicate and smooth, you can also grow it at home without spending any money, but now is not the time to grow gourds.

Lu Jianchuan didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive, and fifty cents could buy several kilograms of pork!

Gu Yunxi was really distressed. After copying books and speculating for so many days, he got a hundred coins and spent all of them to buy gourds. Ouch, this man is really a prodigal.

"Yunxi, don't you like it?" Lu Jianchuan gave something to a girl for the first time. When he saw that Yunxi's reaction was not as happy as he expected, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

If you don't like it, work harder, copy more books, and save enough money to buy her a leather water bag?

Gu Yunxi gritted his teeth and said, "There's no reason why I don't like it. I like it so much. I don't want to use such an expensive water hyacinth."

Lu Jianchuan took a breath and nodded: "As long as you like it."

After hesitating for a while, he uttered: "Yunxi, you will be wronged by marrying me."

In Lu Jianchuan's eyes, Gu Yunxi was not only good-looking, but also literate, and could also draw patterns. He also had prescriptions in his hand, and he could do whatever he wanted to make the Lu family happy.

Such an outstanding woman was actually married to a cripple like herself by Mrs. Gu. She felt a little mixed in her heart. She didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"What are you talking about? Marrying you is much more comfortable than living in Lao Gu's family. My parents are good to me and you are good to me. What else do I have to feel wronged about?"

Gu Yunxi rolled her eyes at him and continued: "Although your leg was injured and you will no longer be able to take the imperial examination in the future, if your leg had not been injured, would I have married you?"

If Lu Jianchuan hadn't injured his leg and became a cripple, would Li Da Niu have broken off the engagement with him? Would there have been an incident in the future where Mrs. Gu was greedy for five taels of silver and gave her home to Lu Jianchuan?
