Chapter 187
As soon as it got dark, Guo Wanggen's family came to the house after dinner.

I heard from the head of the family that the girl brought up the matter of the eldest daughter and no one talked about her marriage, and said that too much wasteland can't solve the root problem, which means that it will make her family feel the same way.

Everyone was very happy that this difficult matter was finally solved!

Several people looked at each other at the gate to see if there was anything wrong with their bodies. Mrs. Wang straightened the collar of the eldest daughter who was carrying her brother, and tugged at the corners of her clothes.

Guo Wanggen watched Zhenniang take the bowls and chopsticks out of the main room and hurried to the other side of the yard.Wiping the creases on the padded jacket, he swallowed nervously, "Father, let's go in, they've finished eating."

Old man Guo lowered his head and carefully looked at the clothes he changed before going out. There were some patches, but they were very clean.

Relieved a little, he raised his foot and walked in, "Well, let's stop talking nonsense for a while."

Oil lamps were lit in the main room, the food was removed, and Zhu Yu replaced it with a large jug and cups.Shu Yingtong doesn't like to drink tea after meals, the pot is filled with boiling water.

The family walked into the main room with cramped steps, and at a glance they saw Qiu Yan, dressed in white coarse cloth filial piety clothes and hairpins with white flowers, sitting at the Eight Immortals table holding cups.

Looks like I had dinner here?
Father Guo disapproved a little, how could he casually sneak through the door during the filial piety period, isn't this bringing bad luck to other people's family...

"Sit." Shu Yingtong glanced at everyone's faces, went back to the room and took out a blueprint.

Seeing everyone standing with embarrassing faces, he raised his eyebrows, "This is my home, it won't hurt your luck much."

The ancients respected ghosts and gods and valued customs, she could understand.But it's hard to talk about things standing still, Qiuyan will become their partner, and if she can't accept it, she can change at any time.

"What are you doing in a daze, just sit and sit. The girl wants to reach out to help your family, and you will take care of those when it's time." Zhu Yu put the cup and sat next to Qiuyan disapprovingly.

If she hadn't said something important today, she might not have been able to pull Qiuyan out.

Chunhua bent down and held her younger brother in front of her with one hand. The three-year-old baby lay quietly and obediently in her arms without daring to lift her eyes.

Guo Wanggen and his father looked at each other, and saw compromise in each other's eyes.

Forget it, what's the use of guarding those things, what's in front of you is the most important thing.

The master doesn't care about this, so why are they so awkward?
Shu Yingtong didn't make a sound to urge them, and after they sat down silently, they put the drawings in the middle of the table.

"I asked you all to come here today because I want you to work together to dig ponds and raise fish. Of course, it's not just about raising fish. You must have heard that some families made some money by selling fish last winter."

Father Guo nodded hesitantly, "Our family has never done this before, these two eyes are smeared..."

I've heard about selling fish to make money, but they don't know how to raise fish...

"Don't worry about this. I will teach you how to maintain the fish pond. I will also ask people to help you dig the pond, and the fry will come out of me."

The family looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.

What is this called, this is called girls chasing after them to feed them!
At this moment, they also understood in their hearts that Shu Yingtong was mainly for Zhu Yu and Qiuyan, and they were incidental.

Shu Yingtong pointed to the general distribution map of the village, pointed out the location of the pond to be dug, and mentioned the upstream and downstream industries corresponding to the pond, which made the family very excited.

"Okay, okay, okay! Our family must do a good job!" Father Guo wiped his wet eyes.

After living such an old age, he knew it very well.The way the girl said to solve the root problem of their family is to make their family's wealth thicker!
The granddaughters don't have to be reluctant to eat and wear, they can marry without worry, and their mother's life is good, who would worry about them eating inside and outside?
Shu Yingtong glanced lightly at the quiet and well-behaved child in Chunhua's arms, who looked like a little girl at the age of three, as if she hadn't been weaned yet, she was too petty.

"Don't raise your son like a daughter."

Hearing Shu Yingtong say this out of the blue, excited smiles froze on their faces, isn't it good that the kids don't make noise?
The family is so busy in the fields and hills every day that they never touch the ground. Sometimes they lock Yaowa and his fourth sister at home and never cry. Everyone envies that Wazi is sensible.

Why does the girl's tone seem to be not very attractive?

"He wants to drink from a glass."

The set of cups on the table is a sample of the amphora cups made by Shuan Er, and Dani asked Dani to burn a set of painted porcelain cups for him solemnly, and made a fuss about taking them out for guests to drink water after the Chinese New Year.

Yellow base glaze, round mouth and big belly, painted with naive rabbits.Those who brought their children to the house for New Year's greetings and chatting saw this set of cups and laughed and praised Shuan'er as a great little porcelain maker, but they praised him so much.

She stared at the little baby for a long time, and several times she reached out to touch it, but Chunhua secretly slapped her on the back.He didn't make trouble, just licked his lips and watched helplessly.

Mrs. Wang waved her hands anxiously, "No, no, no, how can you hold it securely, you look so pretty? If you break it, you'll waste it. We'll go home and drink later."

Shu Yingtong glanced at their appreciative expressions one by one, pursed her lips, and glanced at Zhu Yu.

"If it breaks, it will break~" Zhu Yu poured out half a cup of warm water and handed it to him, "He said it would break before he took it, what do you think you can pinch it? Come on, take it."

He hesitated for a while, looked at Mrs. Wang, then at Chunhua, then at Zhuyu's encouraging smile, and timidly stretched out his hand to take it carefully.

"Thank you...sister." The three-year-old Xiaowa couldn't speak very clearly, and spoke softly.But his eyes are bright, and he pinches a cup ear with one hand, looking very happy.

"Hey~ your mouth is quite sweet. What's your name?"

"I, my name is Jinbao..." He carefully looked at the rabbit painted on the cup, held it to his mouth and blew, took a sip, narrowed his eyes and smiled contentedly.

"Ha~ We have an ingot at home." Zhu Yu squeezed his thin cheeks, and said to Wang with a smile: "Isn't he holding it very securely? Don't keep scaring him, boys should be like our Shuaner Dare to say anything."

Wang's face was embarrassing, and she thought how could her son compare with Shuan'er...

How many people dote on him, the only food and clothing in the village, and how many capable people are backed by him, of course he dares to say anything...

After Guo Wanggen's family went out, Qiuyan breathed a sigh of relief.I hadn't spoken before because I was afraid of being suspected.

Shu Yingtong gave her a manuscript, "Go back and read it carefully, it's good to understand first."

The original book was written in simplified characters. In order to make it easier for others to read, she converted the part on pond management into traditional characters and copied it into a book.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Qiu Yan smiled and touched the manuscript lovingly.

Zhu Yu hooked her shoulders and put her back on her back to send her out, and when she came back, she touched her chin and leaned in front of Shu Yingtong, pretending to look at her for a while, smiling and pushing her arm.

"Girl, why do I feel that you have changed?"

"Ok?"

"You didn't like to care about other people's children before, why do you say it's wrong for people to raise children today?"

"It's hard to raise a baby, but it's easy to destroy it."

Silent night.

Shu Yingtong blew out the oil lamp and lay down on the bed, habitually touched the pillow next to her, put her hands on it, closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
