Mountain People

The three women murmured in the main room for a long time, until the sound of Dong Yuanxu calling outside did not stop.

Gu Shuixiu went out and talked with Uncle Qin Hao for a while before leaving with Dong Chenghu.

Let her be responsible for cooking and doing housework for the whole family, but not let her go to the fields.

It is precisely because of this that Gu Shuixiu is not in a hurry to implement the plan.

After three days, the spring ploughing of Cuizhu Mountain finally ended, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Shuixiu saw that the time was almost up, so she asked Dong Yi to **** Chenghai Binfen to Zhishui County. At the same time, she also used a donkey cart to transport two carloads of sea salt, chickens, ducks, eggs, and even Gu Shuixiu herself. The planted onion, ginger, and garlic also took away three large sacks. Taking advantage of the fact that it hasn't rained yet, it is more convenient for them to arrive at Zhishui County.

Before leaving, Gu Shuixiu specially called Chenghai and Binfen over, and asked them to silently inquire about the situation of the Wu family when they were in Zhishui County, and also asked them to pay attention to whether there was any abnormality in the Wu family .

The two only knew that the Wu family was Dong Yunmei's former husband's family, and they didn't know what else was wrong here. Seeing that Gu Shuixiu was very cautious, they took this matter as a top priority and cautiously Don't let people know.

The shop is reopening.

It takes one day to go from Cuizhu Mountain to Panlong Town, and then three days to go from Panlong Town to Zhishui County. It takes four days for them to reach Zhishui. County, plus it takes two or three days to clean up the shop until it officially opens, and then it will take another four days to return to Cuizhu Mountain. It will take about ten days for Dong Yi to come back.

Ten days was not a long time for Gu Shuixiu, but for Xu Bingyao it was like a year.

, Gu Shuixiu's plan can begin.

, either took refuge in the insurgent army, or was destroyed by the insurgent army.

They walked for four days, and it was rare to encounter a pedestrian on the road alone. It can be seen that the rebel army is still very effective in managing the entire Yongjia County.

The two donkey carts stopped all the way to Shili Xiangxiang, Bunfen took out the key of the shop and opened the door. Seeing that there was a thick layer of dust inside, they quickly asked Dong Yi and Chenghai to help Move things to the backyard of the shop, and drive the donkey cart to the barn.

I didn't clean the shop immediately after finishing these, but went to find the owner of the shop with Dong Yi, and paid the rent for this year and last year together.

The home of the shop owner is not in the county, but in a village on the outskirts of the county.

It was noon when the two arrived in the village, and some people's chimneys were smoking, apparently those people had the habit of having lunch.

No one was encountered on the road in the whole village. Most of them were either in the fields or at home.

new.

Dong Yi went up and knocked on the door of the yard, and the owner of the official shop who opened the door was called Bald Zhang.

The bald Zhang is also a diligent and willing to endure hardships, but he was born without the brain of doing business. of this farmhouse.

I originally thought that after having a shop, earning money would no longer have to be as hard as before, but who knew that when the shop opened, it actually lost all of its own money.

In order not to sell the shop, I had to rent out the shop and return to my hometown to continue farming. It was just that the good times didn't last long. The world was chaotic before, and there were few people renting the shop. It was hard to come across a long-term tenant like Gu Shuixiu. As a result, the rebel army occupied Yongjia County. As a result, Gu Shuixiu's shop did not open for a year.

The bald Zhang didn't get Gu Shuixiu's rent this year. He wanted to rent the shop to others. How can the bald Zhang not be excited.

There is no need for bald Zhang to say hello to Dong Yihe and Funfen. After the bald Zhang's daughter-in-law knew that Dong Yihe and Binfen were the tenants of their shop, she was more affectionate than bald Zhang. She not only served them tea and water, but also They kept expressing how worried they were last year.

"Daughter! You didn't come back after you left at that time, and the management in the county was strict. At that time, we thought that you would not rent it. We were so worried!

Fortunately, you guys are back now. We will tell the Chinese people later that they will take down our shop. By the way, girl, how long are you planning to rent for?

Look, this time you walked in a hurry and didn't say hello, we were so worried, I asked our boss, can you pay all the rent in advance this time, for example, if you want to rent If you want to rent for two years, pay rent for two years, and if you want to rent for three years, pay rent for three years..."

The bald-headed daughter-in-law said a little embarrassedly, and then seemed to feel that her request was too much, and explained: "But you don't have to worry, we can guarantee that the shop will not be closed during the period when you rent the shop. When I come back, I won’t rent the shop to others.”

The bald-headed Zhang's daughter-in-law was also scared this time. She worried for a year, but fortunately Dong Yi and Funfen came back and made up last year's rent.

However, Funfen and Dong Yi did not get angry, instead they laughed, "This time we can pay the rent for three years at one time, but this time, we must sign a receipt, which contains Write it in detail, so that there will be no disputes between everyone. Also, in the past three years, this shop is ours. You can't ask for a rent increase. If you agree, how about we immediately set up a document ?"

He was a little hesitant when he heard the bald head, but if he didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to get the money, and the rent for three years was seventy or eighty taels. It's already a huge sum of money.

And no one can guarantee that the rebel army will attack Zhishui County again in the past three years. If it is like last year, he will lose a lot.
