After I became a general, I went back to my hometown to farm

◎It's over, wait for the watermelon to ripen. ◎

After eating and staying for a while, the young couple went home.

It was Liu Amu who urged them to leave.

It's useless to say that it's useless to stick around here, it's better to go home and do some housework, or work in the field.

There's no need to stay at Cheng's house all the time.

Before leaving, Gu Zeyu chatted with Father Cheng for a while.

Seeing that Father Cheng was making a desk in the style of a modern desk and cabinet, he was surprised to see it. Although it was only a prototype, he still said something more.

He also drew some styles that Hyundai saw and showed them to him.

He also encouraged Father Cheng, "Father, maybe you can make all these new gadgets, and it would be a good idea to open a shop in the town at that time."

Father Cheng smiled and scratched his head, and said: "It's not as easy as you think, it takes a lot of work to open a shop in the town, and my skills are only average, so I can't make a fool of myself. There must be customers coming to buy it."

Gu Zeyu stroked his chin with a relaxed expression, "That's not necessarily the case, you can do whatever you want. If you have this idea, I'll help you then."

Father Cheng also really thought about it. Now that he is getting older, he is a bit powerless to do carpentry, unlike when he was young, he had a lot of strength.

Now I can only work slowly and meticulously, and a table can be made for two days.

He is not very good at farming, if he can really open a furniture store in the town, then he will have a way to make money, and he can open it by recruiting a few more apprentices.

Gu Zeyu and Brother Cheng returned home and were not idle.

They took the tools and went to a hill in the back mountain together, cut some grass that cows and horses would eat, cut two large baskets, and a large bundle, and then went home.

Gu Zeyu also realized that his livestock was a waste of food and fodder.

But if you buy it, you have to keep it. You can only mow the grass every now and then, and then change some coarse grains.

When Gu Zeyu came back, he took some money and two sets of clothes. The food was bought on the spot or given by his uncle's family.

Like corn and wheat, not much left.

Originally, he wanted to exchange some with the villagers, but Brother Cheng disagreed. He looked at Gu Zeyu angrily and said, "Brother Gu, have you forgotten my family? I understand that you don't want to exchange coarse grains with uncle's family. Our family’s grain used to be delivered by uncle, but you can also go to my house, I can persuade my mother to charge a little money to sell us some corn and wheat.”

Gu Zeyu had actually thought about this, but he didn't know the situation of Brother Cheng's family either.

Seeing that the Cheng family relies on Cheng's father to do carpentry to earn money, and the family also planted a few acres of dry land and a few acres of paddy fields, but they don't see a lot of food, and the output of the land is not high at the moment, at most an acre The land is a few hundred catties at most, and taxes have to be paid, but it is not just for food and clothing.

So he didn't ask Brother Cheng either.

But now his son, Brother Cheng, asked himself, and he explained: "I don't know your family's situation very well, so I didn't say anything, but it's good if I can exchange some coarse grains with my father-in-law and the villagers. I'm also afraid that my aunt and your mother will find out, and I really don't know how it will end."

Brother Cheng nodded and made a conclusion, "That's fine, I'll ask Emma tomorrow and ask him to give us some."

Brother Cheng is quite confident, and Eminem will definitely agree.

Let's change some enough forage to feed cattle and horses for a period of time. Anyway, the wheat will mature in a few months, and it will be able to be connected at that time.

Gu Zeyu still went to the field in the afternoon, he did not slack off every day, and worked together with him.

It's not that he doesn't want to enjoy it, after all, the money he has is enough for him to live in style for several lifetimes, and the output of the field is enough to be a landlord.

But he likes the feeling of being down-to-earth, working hard, and working a little bit with both hands.

I don't want to be a rich man and live a life of wealth and leisure.

Anyway, he was strong, and he was in the prime of life, so he worked with the men together, which helped him to accumulate some reputation, saying that he did not forget his roots, was honest and honest, and had no airs, and he was no different from the hired men.

But it also taught people to admire him more.

Not everyone is as calm and stable as him.

Most people have some money, and after they get rich, they will spend extravagantly, and buy a few servants to take care of themselves.

Some people will marry a few concubines, or go to the pink building.

Only Gu Zeyu was different.

Face it calmly and live step by step.

You can also work at sunrise and rest at sunset like ordinary men, and return with the moon and hoe.

In this way, I live an ordinary life with his husband every day, just like every ordinary man.

Two days later, seeing that the watermelon flowers were all aligned, Gu Zeyu felt a lot more relaxed, so he went home early this day because he had to pay his wages.

After entering the door, he smiled and talked to Brother Cheng, the two of them still had a good relationship, sticky, "Brother Cheng, it's time to pay wages today, so I'm here to ask my wife for the money."

Gu Zeyu kept some copper coins with him, and used them when he went to the town to buy food.

The money in the family was handed over to Brother Cheng for safekeeping when they were newly married. After all, handing over money to his wife is something a good man should do, and it will also make his wife feel more secure.

There is nothing more reassuring for a daughter-in-law than handing over all of your belongings to her.

This is the idea of ​​not leaving a way out for yourself, and it is also what two husbands and wives who trust each other will do. Men always spend money lavishly, and they always need someone to take care of them.

Paying wages is far from enough.

Nearly 50 people, four days, 35 papers per person.

This is at least six taels of silver.

Hiss, Gu Zeyu thought about it, it was quite a waste of money, but it also settled his worries, after all, there is nothing to do with the watermelon, all that is left is to wait for the harvest.

Brother Cheng also knew that today was the fourth day, so he said straightforwardly: "How much is it, I guess six or seven taels, our family doesn't have that much copper money? How can we pay them wages?"

Gu Zeyu didn't expect Brother Cheng to really know how much wages would be paid. He was really smart and careful, so he smiled and said: "If you really give them copper coins, it would be so heavy, so I always give out silver coins. Add copper coins, so you must have a good scale."

Brother Cheng came up with another idea, "Or you can send broken silver to a few people, and let them exchange it by themselves when you go back. After all, broken silver doesn't have a small denomination, and our family doesn't have many broken silver. I don’t know if it’s enough or not.”

Gu Zeyu thought for a while, "It's also a way. Last time I worked for a long time, I was easy to get paid. Now I have to work for four days. It is inconvenient for me to get paid."

He was a little dumbfounded.

Simply follow this method and pay wages, and everyone will be happy.

The men who received their wages were very happy, as long as they could send them on time, they didn't mind how many people shared the money, and they could exchange it anyway.
