Chapter 32 The 1st Family Meeting
However, cultivating tentacles is a matter for the future. The most urgent task is to develop your own home and build up your own home first as a model for making a fortune.
The whole family sat at the wooden table in the main room, including the silly dad.
Zhou Liuya clasped her two little hands tightly together, with a look of excitement on her face.
Her household registration will soon be moved to Tuniu Village. From now on, she, her second sister-in-law, Miaomiao, and Aunt Zhao will all be a family!
Gu Qingsong and Gu Qingmiao sat very straight, their young faces looking serious.
It was the first time they heard the term "family meeting" and it felt very fresh and important.
Zhao Ying and Gu Qingshan looked at Gu Qinghuai with smiles on their faces, wanting to see how their daughter (the third sister) would hold this family meeting.
Gu Qinghuai swept his slightly smiling eyes across everyone's faces one by one, and opened his mouth with a powerful bomb: "Members of the Gu family——"
Pfft!
Everyone present laughed.
Gu Qingsong chuckled, and Gu Qingmiao giggled.
Zhou Liuya pursed her lips, lowered her head and smiled reservedly.
Zhao Ying glared at Gu Qinghuai and said with a smile, "You are disrespectful. Did you call him Gu Laosi? He's your biological father!"
Gu Qingshan also laughed, "If Dad is sober, he will definitely hit you on the head."
Gu Qinghuai glanced at his silly father, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Mother, big brother, I said this to distinguish it from the 'Gu family' over at the old house. I don't want our family to have anything to do with them. It's best not to have anything to do with them at all."
When Zhao Ying heard this, she didn't object, "Okay, let's call you that."
Of course, no one else had any objections, as no one wanted to be confused with the Gu family at the old house.
Gu Qingsong even complained about this, saying why his father had the surname Gu when he was such a good person.
Zhao Ying knocked him: Because your ancestors for eight generations have the surname Gu! Your grandparents and uncles are not good, but your great-grandfather is good. For the sake of the late great-grandfather, this surname still has to be Gu!
Gu Qinghuai reopened the conversation: "Dear members of the Gu family, our family has a goal to build a three-story house before the Chinese New Year this year!"
There will be a heavy snowstorm this winter, and these dilapidated houses that can be blown down by a breath cannot withstand the heavy snow.
After hearing Gu Qinghuai's words, everyone was stunned and seriously suspected that they had heard it wrongly.
Gu Qingsong scratched his ears and tilted his head to ask Gu Qingmiao, "Miaomiao, did you hear me right? Just now, Third Sister said that she wants to build a three-story house before the Chinese New Year this year?"
Gu Qingmiao opened her big watery eyes and nodded seriously: "You heard it right, Third Sister said this. Brother, is a three-story house a big house with three doors?"
Gu Qingsong did not answer Gu Qingmiao's question, but looked at his third sister with a worried look on his face.
He scanned Gu Qinghuai's face carefully, but did not find any expression similar to that of his silly father.
The third sister looks normal and her brain is not broken, so why does she say such unreliable things?
As for the big house, he had heard from his eldest brother that his great-grandfather lived in a big house with five courtyards in the imperial capital. It had a garden, a pond, and a rockery. It was so big that horses could be run in it.
My great-grandfather was a high-ranking official, so he was rich.
Their family is currently extremely poor and it is difficult for them to survive. How can they build a large house with three entrances before the Chinese New Year?
It's already the end of June, and the Chinese New Year is just over five months away. Where can we get such a large sum of money in such a short time?
Even if you steal or rob, it will be too late.
Zhao Ying and Gu Qingshan looked at each other in astonishment, both with disbelief on their faces.
They knew their daughter (the third sister) was very different from before and had made some money from selling ginseng, but how could they build a three-story house before the Chinese New Year? !
Even if she sold the other ginseng, it would still be a disaster.
Only Zhou Liu's eyes were sparkling.
The second sister-in-law has seen the King of Hell, and he has infinite power. If she says she can do it, she will definitely do it.
She believes in her second sister-in-law!
Of course Gu Qinghuai noticed everyone's expressions of disbelief.
The goal she mentioned was indeed an unattainable dream for them.
The reason is that poverty limits their imagination, which is why the poor remain poor and find it difficult to turn their lives around.
Because the chance of breaking through the existing vision is very slim, most people will never have that opportunity in their entire lives, and thus are trapped in an endless cycle of "herding sheep, getting married, raising children, children herding sheep, children getting married, children raising children..."
People often say go out and broaden your horizons in order to break the existing narrow vision and increase the chances of obtaining opportunities.
Gu Qinghuai is very proud. In this life, she is her family’s opportunity and she will protect them!
She will take her family to see what money is, what lots of money is, and what "I'm not interested in money" means.
Gu Qinghuai smiled and said, "Don't worry, just listen to me. I made 120 taels of silver from the ginseng I sold earlier."
The 126 taels of silver snatched from the Zhou family could only be used to pay for the non-existent ginseng.
Gu Qingsong:!!!
Ginseng? How come he didn't know about this?
Others were also shocked that one ginseng could be sold for one hundred and twenty taels!
Gu Qinghuai pretended not to notice his brother’s mouth opened into an O, saying that he would explain it to him.
She continued, "I spent ten taels of silver on rice, meat, iron pots, eggs and other things; I gave mother twenty taels of silver today; I went to Uncle He to handle my household registration and gave him ten taels of silver as handling fees, so I have eighty taels of silver left. These eighty taels of silver are both our living expenses and the capital for doing business."
"Third sister, if we are a little more frugal, these eighty taels will be enough for our family to use for a lifetime," Gu Qingsong's face flushed with excitement.
No wonder her third sister was so generous in cooking, it turned out that she had money.
But no matter how rich you are, you can't be extravagant and you have to live frugally.
Gu Qinghuai smiled and said, "Little brother, a good life is earned, not saved. I've said that from now on, you should eat well for three meals a day. Health is the capital of revolution. Without a good body, everything is in vain. Money should be spent on the blade, and eating and drinking well is the 'blade'."
After Gu Qinghuai finished speaking, he glanced at his younger brother.
My brother's clothes are full of patches.
Because the clothes were too short, a large part of his arms were exposed outside, and the long sleeves looked like short sleeves.
In addition to being short, the clothes are also very tight, and the bones of the body are arched against the clothes, revealing a clear shape.
My younger brother has always been very stingy. When he was three years old, the clothes he wore were patched up, but he was reluctant to throw them away, so he asked my mother to piece the clothes together and turn them into a coat.
The jacket was no longer wearable, so I changed it into shorts.
I couldn’t wear the shorts anymore, so I changed them into socks.
The socks were no longer wearable and were finally turned into pieces of cloth to mend clothes.
In short, he would not stop until he had used up all the cloth until he vomited blood.
It's not wrong for me to be stingy, it's just because of the hard life.
Extreme frugality was the way he came up with to keep his family alive when he was only 7 years old.
