Pots and pans, farm tools and ironware, rice, flour, grains and oils, jerk chicken...
There are also the pastries and preserved fruits for the children, and the cloth and rouge for the women.
Those who didn’t know better thought Xu Ling was a salesman!
Gu Daliang glanced at the proud Xu Ling and hesitated: "Xu Ling, did you make money to buy these?"
Mrs. Xu glared: "What are you talking about? Of course my son bought it with money! He used to be lazy and didn't like to do it! Otherwise, it would have happened long ago!"
After saying that, he touched the cloth with joy on his face and said, "I just said that my son has skills. I'm afraid no one in the village has ever seen such a good cloth!"
Gu Daliang was speechless. If Xu Ling really had this ability, how could their family be so poor that they could only live in poverty?
But the things in front of him cannot be fake. Even if Gu Daliang doesn't believe it, they can't all be stolen by Xu Ling!
Xu Ling didn't want to lie to his family. He was different from before. He could hide things from others but not from the Xu family. He always had an opportunity to change his words and actions.
The play was about to continue, so Xu Ling came up with the words he had already thought of.
He talked vividly about what happened after he left home. Selling dates was like selling fish. After saving some money, he went to Lijiazhuang, Qinghe Town, to buy pears, and then took a half-day boat ride to Lingbao Town to sell them. It was a big town. People who bought pears many.
He worked day and night like this, working tirelessly and not sleeping for several days in a row. After selling pears and saving up capital, he saw that there were more pears selling and he couldn't sell the pears at a good price. He was so anxious that he had to use his brain to think of what to do. Sell the pears.
Who knew that he would actually come up with a good idea to squeeze pear juice and boil it into sugar paste, and the price of selling it would double!
Xu Ling danced and talked about these half-truths and half-false things. When he talked about the hard work, Xu's mother kept crying and called "my son."
Speaking of despair, Gu Daliang frowned and pinched his pants, his hands sweating.
Later, he sold pear paste, made money, and rented a yard. He fell ill again. While he was ill, he missed his family situation, so he waited to see it before he recovered.
After Xu Ling finished speaking, everyone believed it.
Gu Daliang had no other doubts. He just said unhappily: "You are a bit smart. But you should change your habit of spending money lavishly! You are not a rich family, and you still owe so much money." Foreign debt, if you don’t want to pay back the money within three months, why buy these?”
They, the common people who forage in the fields, are used to living a hard life and are very good at budgeting. Even though they know that Xu Ling has made money, they still feel heartbroken.
Gu Daliang could say this because he was actually doing it for Xu Ling's good.
Xu Ling felt clear in his heart. He chuckled and said, "This is nothing. The pear syrup business is going well. I'm afraid I can still do it in the winter. I can have enough to eat outside, but when I think about you not having enough to eat at home, If you don’t wear warm clothes and I don’t give you money to spend, why do you earn it?”
Xu Ping shouted: "Brother! Why didn't you ask someone to send you a message and ask me to go out and help you?"
"Yes, brother, I can also help you sell things!" Xu An also slapped his chest loudly.
Xu Ling was a little confused, "I asked someone to send two hundred coins to my family, and I also asked someone to bring a message! Didn't you receive it?"
The Xu family looked at each other, they didn't see a penny!
Xu Ling suddenly realized it, slapped his thigh, and gritted his teeth and said: "His grandma, that person lied to me!"
He was in a hurry to go to Lingbao Town that day and looked for fellow villagers at the dock. One person said that he was in the neighboring village of Lianhuawanzi and reported himself. Xu Ling had no doubt about him, thinking that the people in ancient times should be simple and honest...
Who knew that person was actually lying to him!
Xu's mother was furious, "This man is so wicked! Which village is he from? I have to come to him and scold him to death!"
Gu Yu said softly: "I'm afraid the portal he mentioned is also false."
Xu Ling was speechless, "Forget it, just treat it like spending money to buy a long life."
The family was sitting together chatting lively, and Da Ya was sitting in Xu Ling's arms eating cakes, very well-behaved.
Xu Ling touched her little feet. She was wearing a pair of brand new tiger-head shoes.
"Who made the shoes for Daya?"
"My mother made it for me," Gu You replied softly.
It was too cold in September, and Da Ya’s feet were tender and she was afraid of getting sick from the cold, so her mother asked her sister-in-law for a piece of cloth and made Da Ya a pair of tiger-head shoes.
Daya also lowered her head to look at her shoes, shook her feet, and shouted: "Shoes!"
Xu Ling touched her head, thinking that the Gu family were really good people, but suddenly he remembered why his father-in-law, Gu Litian, didn't come.
When asked, Gu Daliang sighed and said that the government came to ask Xu Ling to serve in the army five days ago. Xu Ling was not at home and the Xu family could not afford the money for recruitment. They were afraid that the government would label Xu Ling as a criminal, so Gu Litian went there in Xu Ling's place. Served.
There are two boys in Gu Litian's family. The family was divided the year before last. The land he got was fairly fair, half a share for six mothers. However, there were really few boys in the family. The father and son spent the whole day in the fields, barely making enough for the family. head.
Gu Litian has parents to honor, and he has to pay the family's Ding tax every spring and autumn, and he also has to pay additional recruitment fees. In addition, the eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant, and the grandson will grow up in two years. A tax amount.
Just like that, when Xu Ling left the village, Gu Litian took out two hundred coins from his teeth and gave it to him.
One can imagine how honest and kind the Gu family is.
After hearing this, Xu Ling felt as complicated as he wanted.
He hadn't forgotten what happened at Old Mrs. Li's house. On the way, he was still wondering whether he would serve in the army when he came back. Unexpectedly, his father-in-law went there in his stead.
Although Gu Litian was only in his early forties, people at this time had to do a lot of physical work, and their life spans were not as long as those in previous lives. If he were to serve like Mrs. Li's son digging river mud, he would not be able to protect everyone and they would be exhausted!
Regarding this matter, even the mean Xu didn't say anything bad, and even mentioned Gu Litian as a kind person.
In fact, he also looked a little more good-natured towards Gu Tao and Da Ya.
Mrs. Xu said: "My son is back. Let him go to the river channel tomorrow to see if he can do something."
Xu Ling also nodded in agreement. As of now, this is all that can be done.
Knowing that his mother-in-law and Gu Daliang's daughter-in-law were still at home and could not come out, Xu Ling quickly packed Gu Daliang with white rice and flour, as well as red date cakes and autumn pear paste, and gave him a piece of ramie cloth.
"Brother, I'm afraid my mother-in-law will be anxious at home, so you go home with your things first, and I'll clean up at home. You all can come for dinner tonight!"
Gu Daliang was stunned, "Are these all for me?"
After receiving Xu Ling's approval, Gu Daliang laughed naively, pretended to decline, and accepted these good things.
Xu Ping and Xu An helped him take his things home with a cart.
Xu's mother babbled dissatisfiedly, and Xu Ling explained: "My father-in-law's family are all kind people, and he is kind to us. I can still make money to buy these things without them, but if they don't help me, what can I do?" Can you go out and make money with peace of mind?”
He asked Mrs. Xu not to say such words in the future. Although Mrs. Xu was a little unhappy, she obeyed and calmed down and happily hid her things.
