Gu Beizhi returned to Uncle Guan's house with a stiff face. He was not injured, but his clothes were dirty. When he got to the door, he rubbed his face outside the door and patted the dust off his body.
"I'm back." Gu Beizhi opened the door with a relaxed expression.
After entering, Guan Zhou and Aunt Guan greeted him, "Come back, it's time to eat, wash your hands first."
Uncle Guan led the two children to play, the third child helped Guan Zhou to set the fire, and the second child helped The second aunt Guan washes vegetables, and the fireworks smell of life in the yard is lively and homely.
Gu Beizhi walked up to the children, "Hey, I see, don't worry." He picked up the two children, who had sunk a lot, one by one.
"Daddy!" Erbao has the best relationship with him now. When he hugged him, he also took the initiative to hug his neck and put his smooth little face on it, "Daddy, I miss you!" The
voice was sweet and soft, Moe cute.
Dabao is different from him. Dabao also said that he misses him, but like a skin boy, he is stubborn.
"Daddy misses you too. I'm in a hurry this time. I forgot to buy a gift. It's Daddy's fault." Gu Beizhi hugged the two children tightly, his voice softer than before.
Dabao struggled to get to the ground, "It's alright, Daddy, Dabao doesn't want gifts, he wants Daddy to go home safely."
Dabao, who has a head and a head, also has such a sweet and caring side, Gu Beizhi's eyes almost sore, he is not only fortunate, but also fortunate for his own The vigilance that never goes away.
If he hadn't asked Guan Zhou and the children to come to the second uncle's house, he might not have seen the two children today, and he would not be at ease in his life.
Although Dabao and Erbao are not his children, he has been with them for so long, and he has long been in love.
Sure enough, Wang Ergou should not be spared easily!
Gu Beizhi planted a seed of uneasiness in his heart, vigilance and suspicion are his best nourishment, and on the other hand, Wang Ergou, who was locked in the side room of the ancestral hall, also hated Gu Beizhi.
Wang Mazi and the other four are just accomplices and have been released home. From tomorrow onwards, they will farm the land for the Gu family for free for one year, while Wang Ergou, he is going to farm for three years, and he can only live in the first year. In the side room of the ancestral hall, there are people watching every day when they go to work. If they dare to run away, they will name their family!
The Wang family was considered a kind ancestor, and the harshest punishment would not be fatal. If it were changed to Mujia Village in Linxian County, Wang Ergou would have been hanged by now.
Therefore, no one in Wang Ergou's family dared to make a fuss. After all, whether Wang Ergou wanted to sell people or people from the same village, if it wasn't for Gu Beizhi's foreign surname, he would have died right now.
Don't underestimate the power of the clan. At this time, the clan still controls the life and death of the clan, and the number of people who are punished to death every year is unknown. It's just that the sage of the Zhao Kingdom prefers to turn these people into labor, and these years have gradually lost lives.
Er Bao looked at Gu Beizhi worriedly, and put a small slap on Gu Beizhi's forehead, "Daddy, don't be unhappy."
Gu Beizhi reacted and calmed down his emotions. He is only a scholar now, or Ren Dan was a little weaker, "I'm fine, Er Bao."
"Well, Daddy laughs, don't be unhappy." Er Bao said word by word, very serious.
"Okay, I'm happy. Daddy is happy when he sees Erbao." Gu Beizhi has turned the children upside down. He's already fatter than before. He will definitely take good care of the children.
The family had dinner at Uncle Guan's house. It was a lively meal. Gu Beizhi and Guan Zhou also took care of each other, and occasionally got together to talk. The two elders who were looking at each other were happier.
"Have those people been fined? If the punishment is less severe, your second uncle and I will go to the village chief to settle the account!" Second Aunt Guan asked, saying that they also have the support of their elders, so don't be afraid!
Gu Beizhi took out the money that the five families had paid for, and said, "Wang Ergou is the mastermind, the old uncle asked him to plant the sacrifice fields, and he was going to pour Yexiang for my family, but I refused, Wang Mazi and the other four I will be punished for my family to farm for one year."
"Okay! Good punishment!" Second Aunt Guan applauded with a slap in the face, just as the couple were worried that Xiaozhou would be too busy next year, and all five acres of land would be planted by one person, where did they plant it? Come here, it's alright, there is help.
As for that Wang Ergou, it's better to go to plant the sacrifice fields, so that you don't have to push others to do bad things all day long! The sacrificial fields in their village are divided into two parts, one is purchased by the Wang family, and the other is purchased by other surnames in the village, both of which are managed by the Wang family.
Together, there is about eight acres of land, usually the elderly without children in the village are looking after them, and some people from the village take turns.
The benefits of these fields are to be distributed to everyone in winter to prevent those who have no food from starving to death, but these fields are not usually cared for very carefully, and the output has always been ordinary.
Wang Ergou was arranged here, and some hard work was waiting for him.
Farming is no easy task.
Gu Beizhi looked very satisfied with Second Aunt Guan, and knew that the punishment should be not light, but compared to what Wang Ergou had to do, he felt that it was still too light.
After the children were full and went to play in the yard, Gu Beizhi told Wang Ergou and the others their plans, but did not say anything about selling the children, and Aunt Guan and the others scolded them a few times and then passed.
Then Guan Zhou packed up his things and went home with Gu Beizhi alone with a child. The children played by themselves for a while, and Gu Beizhi stayed by the side until they were sleepy.
He took off Erbao's shoes and put them beside Dabao. Both children were fast asleep. Gu Beizhi closed the door and went out. Guan Zhou, who had just cleaned up the house, washed his hands and walked over, hesitant. appearance.
"Beizhi, did you...have nothing to say?" Guan Zhou felt that Gu Beizhi cared too much about his two children today.
Gu Beizhi sighed deeply. He felt that he seemed to have done something wrong, or that he had not done enough, but he didn't need to tell Guan Zhou about this, he should have just asked Guan Zhou to be more vigilant.
"Wang Ergou and the others didn't come to steal anything." Gu Beizhi looked at the sky full of stars, he couldn't feel the beauty of the starry sky for the first time, he was only upset.
"Then what are they here for?" Guan Zhou wondered.
"Robbery, kidnap two children and sell them by the way." Gu Beizhi didn't dare to look at Guan Zhou's face for a moment.
Guan Zhou was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"
"I..." Gu Beizhi only said one word, Guan Zhou stopped listening, rushed into the kitchen and copied a kitchen knife, and ran out aggressively, like that It's about fighting with people.
Gu Beizhi quickly grabbed him, "Xiaozhou, calm down."
"I'm going to kill them!" Guan Zhou struggled desperately, so strong that Gu Beizhi couldn't hold him even an adult man.
"If you kill him, you have to die too!" Gu Beizhi said
cold-bloodedly, "What should you do if the child is dead?" The child is Guan Zhou's death point. He can work hard for the child, or endure it for the child. No longer impulsive, but trembling all over, "What do you say?"
Gu Beizhi snatched the kitchen knife in his hand and hugged him, "The child is fine, you are fine, calm down, Xiaozhou."
Guan Zhou tried for a long time before slowly calming down, "Beijing, what should we do? Are they so cheap?"
"Of course not, but now, we need to renovate the house first to prevent theft." Gu Beizhi looked at the surrounding courtyard walls that were not high, and made up his mind, he had to create the kind of copper walls and iron walls for later generations!
"You're right, we have few family members, and the courtyard wall should be built higher." Guan Zhou also thought that their current courtyard walls are all short, and adult men can easily climb over the wall and enter, which is too unsafe.
But the house is not to be renovated just because of the refurbishment. The busy farming season will soon come, and they will be able to find enough workers to work for them after the busy farming season is over.
Gu Beizhi first drew the drawings by himself, and Guan Zhou has been watching his children more closely recently. It was not long before October entered, and the weather suddenly became a lot cooler. Bao Yixuan also took a farm holiday, which lasted about half a month.
The village was full of looting scenes. The four members of the Gu family also went to help the second uncle Guan's house. Guan Zhou brought his two children to cook and deliver meals at home, and Gu Beizhi followed the second uncle Guan's family to collect the sticks.
The cob is corn. The crops they plant here are all harvested in early October. The corn field is also interplanted with beans. When harvesting, you have to be careful not to step on the bean sprouts. After harvesting the corn, you can harvest the beans.
Gu Beizhi imitated Uncle Guan's dressing. His arms and legs were wrapped tightly with cloth strips, and his collar was also wrapped twice. This was to prevent bugs from getting into his clothes. He put on a straw hat and burrowed into the cornfield. Break the stick.
Press it down first, then turn it around again, and a stick will be broken off. Gu Beizhi sees that the action is simple, but he really knows how tiring he is when he gets started.
At the end of the day, he felt that he could barely lift his hands, but he still insisted on gritting his teeth.
Guan Zhou is easier than him. He only needs to cook three meals for the family and clean both houses. The land they bought is still being collected, and they don't need to look at it.
But it is also early in the morning and in the dark. It can be seen with the naked eye. The whole family has lost a lot of weight and lost a lot of weight. Even the two children have lost weight. Dabao and Erbao are now helping Guan Zhou to deliver water to Gu Beizhi and the others every day. The meal, and not too tired at all, running around, also tanned into a little black monkey.
The harvested cobs have to be rubbed off the corn kernels, but this is not in a hurry. The imperial court collects taxes from November. They just need to figure out everything in the fields this month, about half of October. At that time, every family had almost finished their harvest, and the threshing field was full of sun.
Each family has two people guarding their own food, driving away birds, turning over and so on.
The second uncle Guan sent the second and third elementary schools here. They were also very diligent and watched closely.
The old village chief stood on the stone pier in front of the threshing ground with a gong, "Everyone listen! This year's land tax has come down! Everyone listen, the yamen has issued an official document, this year's land tax is the same as last year, and it is not enough. I'll make it up with silver, and I'll collect it on November 1st, and it's all ready!"
"What? You still pay so much this year? Didn't you say last year that it would reduce this year?"
"That's right, I almost didn't eat enough after I paid last year. ."
