Chapter 51 Surprise
Half-closed his eyes and got up to change Xiao Bao's diaper, Gu Xiaobei put him in the wooden cart and carried him to the yard.This wooden cart was drawn by Gu Xiaobei according to the baby carriage in the 21st century, and then asked Gu Datian to make it.Gu Datian learned some carpentry crafts from Gu Changming when he was a child. Although he was not proficient, he could still make a simple wooden cart.

Naturally, this wooden carriage is not as good as modern baby carriages, it is made of wood and is easy to break, and it has to be repaired from time to time, but it can hold Xiaobao in place, so that Xiaobao will not crawl around when no one is free.

Gu Xiaobei does not object to children climbing and rolling more, but this is an ancient village, the ground is full of potholes, and there are often sharp things such as hoes, shovels, pears, etc. behind the door of the house. , Children crawling around and bumping into these sharp things, that would be serious.

There was a child in the village. When his parents were not paying attention, he crawled into a corner by himself, fell off and hit the sharp plowshare by the door. He was stabbed on the side of his mouth, disfigured, and the scar remained when he grew up. To be ridiculed.After hearing such a story, Gu Xiaobei couldn't easily let Xiaobao crawl around. He spread a straw mat on the ground for him to crawl when someone was watching, and he was careful not to let him crawl into the corner.

Put Xiaobao and the wooden cart in the yard, stuffed a doll for him to play with, before Gu Xiaobei entered the kitchen, where the brothers were already busy.

"Brother, is Third Uncle up yet?" Gu Xiaobei asked Gu Datian while fetching water from the hot pot on the stove into the wooden basin.

"Third Uncle wanted to help make breakfast, but I stopped him." Gu Datian said casually.

"That's good, third uncle is still a guest after all." Gu Xiaobei smiled, put the washcloth into the tub and carried it to the yard, washed Xiaobao's face before coming back to wash up.

After being busy for a quarter of an hour, the brothers and sisters cooked the porridge and fried a few side dishes, such as minced pork with sauerkraut, stir-fried Chinese cabbage with vegetables, fried yugan and dry-stir-fried string beans.

After the fried dishes were finished, it was already dawn, so Gu Datian called Gu Changjue to come out and started eating.Although there are a few simple home-cooked dishes, everyone eats them very deliciously. Gu Changjue repeatedly praises the pickled cabbage well, sour and crisp!

"Is Datian here?" Just as everyone was eating deliciously, a woman's voice came from the yard.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, why did someone come here so early in the morning?Will something happen again?
Just when everyone was wondering, Gu Datian was the first to greet them, and Gu Xiaobei and Gu Erye also took up their bowls and went out together. It turned out that the woman in the yard was Aunt Gan who lived in the south of the village.

"So it's Mrs. Gan, have you had breakfast? Do you want to eat with us?" Gu Datian said honestly.

"Oh, Datian, why are you still in the mood to have breakfast? I don't know who's cattle broke into your crops in Liurongpo, eating and trampling on them, making a mess. I saw it yesterday. I have come to tell you, but all of you are not at home, so I will come and tell you again this morning." Aunt Gan said anxiously.

Gu Erye widened his eyes and said angrily: "Who is so courageous to herd cattle into my crops? Does Madam know whose cattle it is?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's someone else's cow. It ran back to eat in the mountains and forests. Fortunately, the rice is starting to ripen now. Hurry up and harvest it, otherwise it will germinate." Aunt Gan said while watching Take a look at the clean and tidy yard.

"Thank you, Madam, for letting me know." Gu Datian said immediately.

"You're welcome, folks in the village help each other, so I'm leaving." Aunt Gan left after speaking.

Everyone returned to the kitchen and discussed while eating.

"This field of crops has always had plenty of water, but now they are trampled by cattle. It is estimated that many of them fell down and soaked in the water. We have to harvest this field first. Although some of them are still immature, there is nothing we can do. Otherwise, the rice will sprout and it will be real There are no harvests." Gu Datian frowned.

"Then don't find out who's cow is the problem?" Gu Erye said angrily.

"Let's talk about this later, the three of you continue to go to the restaurant, I will stay at home and finish the harvest." Gu Datian waved his hand.

"Brother, that piece of land is not small, you can't do it." Gu Sanlin said.

Gu Changjue laughed: "Don't worry, I will help Datian, and I can't eat for free! If you can't do it for one day, just work for two days. The rice has not sprouted so fast in such a short period of time."

"Look at what the third uncle said, what about free food, you are our third uncle, you should eat as much as you want." Gu Datian said immediately.

So it was agreed that Gu Erye, Gu Sanlin and Gu Xiaobei would still go to the restaurant with Xiaobao, while Gu Datian and Gu Changjue would stay at home to harvest rice.

When we arrived at the restaurant, two chefs and two waiters were already selling breakfast. This was what Gu Xiaobei ordered them to do yesterday. This restaurant is not only for lunch and dinner, but also for morning business. She will not easily make money. Let go.

"Bosses, not many people come to have breakfast!" The female chef Yin Hehua said worriedly.

Gu Xiaobei thought for a while, found a piece of paper and a pen and wrote "This stall has arrived at Brothers and Sisters Restaurant, welcome regular customers" in large characters, and wrote the address of the restaurant in smaller characters below.

After finishing writing, she handed the paper to Gu Sanlin: "Third brother, you sold porridge well before, and you must have accumulated some regular customers. Go and paste this paper near the place where you used to sell porridge and inform them that we are here. Selling breakfast, we strive to recruit these regular customers.”

Gu Sanlin's eyes lit up: "Good idea, why didn't I think of it." He said and took the big paper written by Gu Xiaobei to post it there.

Sure enough, not long after, the number of people eating breakfast in the restaurant gradually increased.

After selling breakfast, I started preparing for lunch again.

What made everyone even more happy was that Zhou Ji Restaurant did not continue to hold the "buy one, get two free" event, and there were more guests coming to Gu Xiaobei's brother and sister restaurant than yesterday.

Many big families also sent servants to buy vegetables and go home. With the meals ordered at the canal construction site, Gu Xiaobei's side became even busier. Fortunately, Bai Qiaoer and Sha Gu came to help from time to time, so everyone could take a breather.

On this day, Gu Xiaobei also told his elder brothers that the Zhou family was related to theirs, but they still wanted to fight against their brothers and sisters.Gu Erye was so angry that he wanted to settle accounts with them on the spot, but was stopped by Gu Xiaobei.

It's not that Gu Xiaobei doesn't want to teach Zhou Liang and Zhu Mei a lesson, but because the Zhou family is much stronger than them now, and the behavior of Zhou Ji Restaurant and their snatching customers is neither illegal nor moral. Going to the door will only beg for a beating, of course she must stop this unwise behavior.

If you want to make the enemy feel uncomfortable, as long as you live better than them, they will naturally feel uncomfortable, so Gu Xiaobei and his brothers put more effort into running the brothers and sisters restaurant, in order to make the Zhou family feel uncomfortable, and make the brothers and sisters have a better life.
