Chapter 52
"Sister, you go to the kitchen and make dinner. Gu Xiaoshu, you stay here. If there is any movement in the house, you can look outside the window." Gu Lian felt that she should think about it carefully. Without it, it will be difficult to live in the town in the future. It was originally planned that scholars can still receive imperial rations, but now hehe.

Gu Zhu wiped his red eyes from crying and responded softly, and walked through the kitchen with a bad complexion. Gu Xiaoshu accepted the task of the second sister, and stood in front of the house door, listening to the voices inside.

"Mom, come with me to the house."

Pulling her mother into the house, Gu Lian closed the door, and the two of them sat on the kang one behind the other.

"Mom, tomorrow I'll go and ask which villages here can accept outsiders. I'll look for it. After I find it, we'll move to the village." Gu Lian thought it over, and with his father's current situation , It might be better to start in a strange place again, she can imagine the depression and anger in his heart at this moment.

After studying hard for ten years, she thought she could be a master now, but now that she has returned to farming from Shida, Gu Lian has no idea who made the trip in her hometown and made such a thing happen. , It's not that you can be favored by God if you are talented, and you can live more freely if you have power.

"Okay, let's do it like this! Mother will go with you then." Although Wang's heart was very confused, she also knew that she couldn't fall down at this time.

The hands of the mother and daughter were tightly held together, giving each other courage. The wind outside was blowing, and even the warmth of the kang could not warm the coldness in their hearts.

After the dinner was ready, Gu Lizhi hadn't come out of the house yet, the people in the house secretly looked at the situation inside through the window, and saw him sitting at the front of the table writing uprightly, feeling a little bit in his heart. relieved.

A lot of firewood was added to the room where Gu Lizhi lived. Gu Lian and the others were afraid that he would feel uncomfortable and toss his body, so they wanted to make the room warmer. Even if he wanted to toss, I won't get sick from tossing, at least I won't get sick from freezing.

"Do you want to bring some food for dad?" Gu Zhu looked at the food on the table and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Let dad stay quietly in the house. He probably doesn't want anyone to appear in the house now. Mom, let's take out the money we earned! Count how many taels there are. If we go to the countryside, we can buy old houses." Buy someone's old house, if there is no old house, you have to build a little house to live in." Gu Lian also has no appetite to eat at this time, since she decided to live in the village, she should make a plan early.

Mrs. Wang sighed, got out of the kang, and took out a small wooden box from the drawer, which contained some broken silver, all of which were exchanged for copper plates.

A few people sat down around the small wooden box and counted the pieces of silver inside. These days, they worked hard and earned almost ten taels of silver. No more, no less. At least they can live well in the countryside. Of course, the premise is that they don't need to spend money to build houses.

"Life should be enough. We can reclaim some land by then, but life in the future will definitely be more difficult than living in the town. You must be prepared." Gu Lian looked at them and said .

"Where living is not hard, the most important thing is to earn the family business while my mother is able to do things now. When it's time for you to marry, at least you can marry you off in a good way." Although Wang She hasn't done much farm work, but she feels that as long as she makes up her mind, there is nothing she can't do.

After a few people finished their dinner in a dull manner, they lit the oil lamps until the moon rose for the first time, but there was still no movement in the room next door, and they were not sleepy. They all lay on the kang and looked outside.

"Azhu..." Gu Lizhi's voice sounded from the next room, Gu Zhu, who was in a daze, gave a shock, quickly responded, got off the kang and went straight outside.

"Bring me dinner, I'm a little hungry."

After hearing Gu Lizhi's words, the others felt as if they heard the sounds of nature. Several people swarmed into the room, and saw paper scattered all over the ground, with densely written words written on them. Gu Lian and Gu Shu and the two picked up all the papers on the ground and put them on the table.

"Father, you don't have anything to eat. I'll go to the street to buy it tomorrow. Think about it, we haven't had a big meal here yet!" Gu Lian asked with a smile after looking at the things written on the paper. .

Gu Lizhi shook his head. After writing for so long, he was also a little dizzy, but his mood was indeed much more relaxed. Although this matter was a big deal for his life, he He also deeply understands that there are even bigger things waiting for him. He can't give up on himself just because he has changed his reputation as a scholar. As a father, he doesn't have the qualifications to do so.

"No, save the money for later use! I heard what you said, it's good to move to the country."

"Well, when I find a suitable place, we will move, and I have to talk to Uncle Tie about this, but I have to help Mr. Li find things tomorrow, maybe I can get some news from Mr. Li then. Seeing that his mood finally settled down, Gu Lian felt less worried.

Gu Lizhi just used writing to vent his inner anger in the room, and he also thought of what his master said during the process, so his mood is really calm now.

"Well, when the time comes, I have to ask that Mr. Li. You don't need to take money from him for helping this time. We asked him to help so many times, and we haven't thanked him properly!" Gu Lizhi hurriedly ordered One sentence.

Gu Lian didn't know, she also thought that she would not take any more money from him this time. Although her family was short of money now, she might ask Mr. Li for help in the future.

"Father, I understand. You should finish your meal quickly! Otherwise, the food will be cold again."

Gu Lizhi responded with a smile, sat down at the small table, took the chopsticks to hold the bowl, put the vegetables in his mouth, and started eating. When the people in the room saw him eating, they all felt relieved When they got up, they sat around and did their own things. At this time, they felt that they could feel more at ease staying in the house as a family.

Before going to bed at night, Wang also had a mind and asked Gu Shu to sleep with them. She was afraid that her husband would think wildly again when he went to bed at night, so she thought about putting her son aside, even if it was really wild thinking. Think about the kids.

Gu Lizhi also saw what his wife was thinking, and looked at her a little dumbfounded, but seeing how determined she was, he couldn't refute.
