Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family
Chapter 8 Catching Crabs
Gu Yun and Gu Ying happily returned to their rooms with their own things and exchanged them. They were very happy in their hearts.
Their family was poor, and their food, clothing and other expenses were not as good as those of some of the younger brothers and sisters in the village, and they were often ridiculed by them.
However, ever since their sister brought them jewelry and nice clothes last time, they can be said to have been envied by others. After all, their other brothers and sisters did not have as many things as they did, and some even had nothing at all.
Now I think that my sister can earn money and is studying, so they will definitely live a good life in the future. Even if I don’t say a good life, I think at least they will have enough food and clothes to eat and wear.
Gu Yun looked at Gu Ying and said slowly: "Brother, we must be nicer to our sister in the future, so that our sister will definitely be nice to us in the future. You see, these are all bought by our sister, we must repay her kindness."
After all, he still wants to see his sister marry into a good family in the future.
Gu Ying was simpler, after all, she was younger than Gu Yun. She nodded vigorously after hearing what Gu Yun said: "Brother, I know, we are already learning embroidery. When we can make clothes, we can make more clothes for sister. He is a scholar and is different from the girls in the village."
Gu Yao took a nap at home and felt very relaxed. When she woke up, it was already afternoon. When she came out, she saw Gu Yun and Gu Ying learning needlework with Gu's father and others.
The first time she saw a man embroidering something with an embroidery needle, she felt a little shocked, but thinking that this was normal after all, and it was a different world after all, she felt that she should watch more, so that she would not feel unbearable when watching a man giving birth to a child.
Father Gu looked at her and smiled, "Ayao, you're up. Your mother has gone to the fields. Ayun, quickly pour your sister a glass of water. She must be thirsty after getting up."
Gu Yao heard her mother go to the fields and said, "Dad, I won't drink any water. I'm going to the fields to find mom and take a look at our fields."
The original owner had never been to the fields. He only knew where his family's fields were. After saying hello to Gu's father, he went straight to the fields. Passing by a river, he looked at the clear water and felt something in his heart. He thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, and there should be crabs in the river.
She hadn't eaten crabs for a long time, and eating crabs during the Mid-Autumn Festival was a good idea, so she thought it was a good idea.
I'll go back later and get some things to pick up crabs. Besides, the ecological environment was not damaged so severely in ancient times, so there should be a lot of crabs here and they should be very fresh.
After arriving at her own field, she saw Gu's mother weeding with great effort.
Gu's mother took good care of the fields. Their family only had four acres of land, and as common people, it was good enough for them to have four acres of land. Although it was not very good, at least they could grow some food so that they didn't have to spend money to buy meals.
In fact, Gu's mother had wanted to sell the land before. After all, the family was out of money and Gu Yao still had to go to school. However, she was persuaded by everyone in the family.
They were already poor, and if they sold the land they would be left with nothing, and they might even lose their children. In the end, Mother Gu gave up the idea of selling the land.
Now Gu Yao can make money, and Gu's mother and her family are very hardworking. They can even do some odd jobs in the town in their spare time, so their land is completely preserved.
"Mom, let me do it. You go and have a rest."
Mother Gu was working hard, and when she heard this, she looked up and smiled, "Don't do it. Your hands are for holding a pen, how can you work? Don't get sunburned. Although the sun is not very hot now, it is still very strong."
"It's okay, mother. I'm back now, you should take a break. Besides, I'm older now, so if I work, I can exercise my body. After all, if I want to take the imperial examination, I need to be in good health so that I won't be unable to bear it."
Gu's mother didn't understand the imperial examination. She only knew that after passing the examination, she might pass the examination and become a scholar. Then she wouldn't have to do corvée labor and would even be respected by many people. "
After hearing what Gu Yao said, she had no choice but to agree. Looking at Gu Yao working in the fields, she felt warm in her heart. This daughter of his was worth several others and her life was worth it.
Gu Yao felt that farming was really hard work, and he decided that when he made money in the future, he would hire people to farm the land, and he would never let himself and his family farm. After all, medical care is not well developed now, and people in ancient times would have had a short lifespan if they worked too hard.
The average life expectancy of ancient people was only 40 or 50 years old, and it was considered very rare to live to 70 or 80 years old.
At dusk, Gu Yao packed up her things and went back home with her mother. After returning home, she immediately prepared to go to the river. Seeing her actions, her mother was a little puzzled.
"Ayao, where are you going? It's almost time for dinner, and it's getting dark, so don't go out."
Gu Yao turned around and said, "Mom, you guys eat first. I'll be out for a while and will be back soon."
Mother Gu thought that she was an adult now and knew what she was doing, and she was also a scholar, so she felt relieved. However, she had not eaten yet and planned to eat after Gu Yao came back.
Gu Yao came to the river and looked at the clear water. There were indeed many small fish, but these fish were too small and she didn't plan to catch them.
Moreover, she still has some ideas about these crabs. If they are delicious, she plans to sell them around the Mid-Autumn Festival. After all, eating crabs during the Mid-Autumn Festival is a beautiful concept.
The river water here is very clear, and it was still bright before dark, so we caught a lot of crabs.
She had eaten crabs before, and she ate quite a lot of them. She would eat a lot during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she knew how to cook crabs.
Looking at these crabs, she had already planned how to sell them. After all, although she had a temporary job as an accountant, she still had to go to school, and her family was too poor and she wanted to buy more land, so she had to make more money.
It took Gu's mother and the others almost half an hour to wait for Gu Yao to come back. They were surprised to see what she had in her hands: "Ayao, why are you catching these? You can't eat them."
Gu Yao knew that they had never eaten it before and said with a smile, "Mom, Dad, these are delicious things. It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, the season for eating crabs. The wealthy families in the town and outside the county like to eat crabs very much."
"Can these things really be eaten? They won't be poisonous, will they?"
Gu's mother didn't believe it, and even Gu's father and the other men didn't believe it, after all, they had never eaten it.
Who in Gujia Village would like to eat these things? Moreover, they like to pinch your fingers when you catch them. Before, a child almost pinched off someone's little finger while playing with them, so they stay away from these things.
After a while, Gu's mother and the others watched Gu Yao start to clean up the crabs. Gu Yun and the others were very scared and took a few steps back. After all, these crabs were big and even a little scary, so they were a little afraid to touch them.
It took Gu Yao almost half an hour to clean the crabs.
Seeing how troublesome it was to clean up, Gu's mother said, "These are too troublesome, and if they don't taste good, forget it and just throw them away."
Gu Yao smiled and said, "Mom, just wait and see. I promise you'll want more after you eat it."
After hearing this, Father Gu laughed and said, "Boss, let's listen to A Yao. She reads a lot of books, maybe she read it in a book. And since even those wealthy families eat it, maybe it really is a good thing. Let's try it today.
