The next day, Gu Beizhi took Guan Zhou and his two children to the town. It happened that Uncle Wang was walking to the town today and let Guan Zhou and his two children ride in an ox cart. He was walking beside him, and there were other Husband, I made fun of them when I saw them.

Gu Beizhi couldn't take it anymore, he hurriedly took a few steps forward. There were too many people pulling the ox cart, and the speed was relatively slow. Gu Beizhi's long legs took a step, and he was ahead in just a few steps.

Seeing this, Guan Zhou laughed softly, but Gu Beizhi, who turned his head to look at it, just caught him. He was so frightened that he immediately covered his mouth with his hands to hide his smile, but his curved eyes were still exposed.

Gu Beizhi gestured with his eyes, and he will take care of you when he arrives in town.

Guan Zhou blinked, I'm not afraid.

Gu Beizhi shook his head, tsk tsk tsk, the husband was in a state of disbelief.

Guan Zhou also nodded his head left and right, you are used to it.

"What kind of riddles are these little husbands playing?" the middle-aged husband sitting next to him asked, the playful expression on his face could not be hidden, and the light of gossip flashed in his eyes.

Guan Zhou hurriedly sat up straight, "Nothing, what are you going to buy in the town today, auntie?"

"I didn't buy anything, I just went to check the grain price. This year's harvest is good, let's see how much millet I can exchange."

"I I also went to see the food price, which one are you going to?" Another husband came over and asked.

"Zheng Ji, last year we changed it at another company, and the teeth were not good. Fortunately, I changed them every time. Later, I went to Zheng Ji to change some. I won't tell you the truth. They are all new food. Change his house, save the trouble."

A group of couples who were planning to inquire about the price of food gathered together and chatted instantly, while Guan Zhou quietly shrank aside and did not speak.

When they got to the town, Gu Beizhi picked up Erbao and Guan Zhou held Dabao. The difference between the two brothers' preferences became bigger and bigger. Erbao liked being held by his father, but Dabao preferred to run on the ground by himself.

Erbao's taste is very similar to Gu Beizhi's. He is not so fond of meat, but prefers fresh vegetarian dishes. Dabao does not like meat.

However, the two still have common hobbies, such as the candied haws in front of them. The little brothers never took their eyes off the bright red and bright candied haws.

Gu Beizhi saw it, walked over with Erbao in his arms, bought three bunches and came back, "Here."

Guan Zhou was a little embarrassed, he was so old, and he still ate candied haws, but Gu Beizhi didn't forget him, and he was very embarrassed. Happy.

"Eat it, just be careful not to stick it." Gu Beizhi instructed, and then let Da Bao bite off the top of the bamboo stick, and after he bit it, he broke off the sharp end of the bamboo stick.

The same is true for Erbao. First bite off the top one, and then let Gu Beizhi break off the front part, so that the children will not be hurt.

Guan Zhou looked at it strangely, Gu Beizhi thought too carefully, he didn't even think of it.

Gu Beizhi was wiping his hands when he noticed his gaze, raised his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and reached out to him, "Bring it.

" In Beizhi's hand, the other side skillfully broke off the sharp part, and then gave him a string of candied haws that was as safe as his sons.

"Okay, it's as safe as Dabao and the others. Eat slowly." Gu Beizhi cleared his throat, but his tone was still smiling.

After reacting, Guan Zhou slowly opened his eyes, looked at his candied gourd and then at Gu Beizhi, noticed that his body was shaking a little, and then looked at him with a smirk on his face, "You are making fun of me again!"

"Hahaha, don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm not afraid that you are too envious of your two sons, just keep a bowl of water flat." If Gu Beizhi could restrain the smile on his face, he would be a bit persuasive if he slapped it down. force.

Gu Beizhi recently slowly figured out how to get along with Guan Zhou. Even if he teased him from time to time like now, Guan Zhou's reaction when he was quick to fry but didn't fret was very interesting.

Guan Zhou's temperament is relatively quiet, and he usually doesn't get along with Gu Beizhi for a long time. If they don't increase some interactions, they may be dry Platovs all their lives.

It's not that Plato is bad, but Gu Beizhi wants to see a lively and energetic Guan Zhou rather than a quiet husband.

Gu Beizhi thought to himself, it is not easy to meet someone who can develop love for a long time. If it is only slowly consumed, painless and long, how can that meager affection be deepened?

"Let's go buy paper money first, this time for filial piety, buy more, as well as candles, red paper, and two pairs of shoes."

"By the way, and red cloth, we'll go back to the village chief in the afternoon. Just say it and you're done." Guan Zhou took Dabao and went to the incense candle shop.

"Why don't you go to the cloth shop again and buy some brightly colored cloths for you and your two children to make new clothes to wear." Gu Beizhi pondered that he used to wear light or dark colored clothes, but this time he could change to something brighter. wear.

Guan Zhou thought about it. After the busy farming season, it was time for the Chinese New Year. It was time to buy some cloth to make new clothes. "Okay, it's time to make winter clothes.

" .

The weather was getting colder day by day. When Gu Beizhi came back from town sooner or later, he could feel the coldness on his exposed cheeks and fingers. It was time to change into slightly thicker clothes.

But in Gu's house, it is indeed in full swing. More than 20 people work together, raising the courtyard wall, building the house, digging the trench, replacing the tiles, and the house turret.

Wang Fengchun's experience is indeed very rich, especially Gu Beizhi is paid according to his wages in the town, he is more attentive, for fear that Gu Beizhi will think that he is taking so much money in vain.

It's no wonder he has such an idea. It's not the first time for him to work for people in the village. Even 50 yuan a day, many people think it's too expensive. But very unpleasant.

However, working for Gu Beizhi doesn't have to be such a bad thing. Not to mention enough wages, just buying materials, Gu Beizhi is extremely relieved to let him handle it, and he didn't find it for a long time like those people before. After looking for you, I went to complain that he didn't persuade him too much.

Gu Beizhi would check their progress every morning before going to work. Usually, only Wang Fengchun was there at this time, and Brother Shi had not come yet. If there was any problem, the two of them would communicate with each other.

When the workers came one after another, Brother Shi would come with his man. When he arrived, he would immediately chop wood and boil water, and occasionally help with some work. He was also a very diligent person.

There was not much space to be built in his house, but when the yamen came to collect the tax in November, it was almost finished. Gu Beizhi gave them two days off, and they would start work after the tax was paid.

This year, they borrowed to live at Uncle Guan's house, and their own house had not been tidy up and had no place to put food, so they notified those who 'rented' the land to pay the rent in a few days.

On the morning of November 1st, the north wind slowly became biting, and one could let out a sigh of relief when they went out. Everyone put on jackets to protect against the cold. The old village chief's familiar sound of gong sounded early. Everyone went to the village to line up with their own food on their backs.

At this time, the yamen who came to collect the rent hadn't come yet, but paying the tax early would save you worry, especially the general yamen and the merchants who received the grain arrived at the front and back. If it was late, the grain might not be sold well Price.

The morning sun is not dazzling, and there is no temperature. Everyone can only stamp their feet, put their hands together, and gather together in twos and threes to chat and warm up.

The old village chief's gong sounded again, "All line up! Line up! The official is here."

Everyone immediately stood next to their own grain and waited honestly. The yamen appeared in everyone's sight.

The clerk who came to collect the grain and record it was also easy to identify. It was an older, thin, horse-faced man. The yamen took down the tools. The clerk first chatted with the village chief, and when the yamen was ready, he Sitting at the table arranged by the village chief, "Let's start." The

villagers immediately lined up in an orderly manner, and went to the clerk to explain their names and family members. The clerk asked a few questions based on the contents of the register, such as the Is there a new population, whether there is an increase in fields, etc.

After asking, explain the amount of land tax that their family has to pay, and then the yamen next to him can weigh the grain brought to him.

The scales brought by the yamen are specially made, and they can be measured very quickly. The small officials also ask questions at their speed, one by one, in an orderly manner.

About a third of the time, grain merchants who came to collect grain arrived one after another. In order not to affect the tax collection by the yamen, they would go to the side to communicate with the villagers to determine the purchase quantity and price, and then wait for the yamen to collect the tax. When it was over, they went on to harvest food.

There are not many grain shops in the town. There are only three in total. The first two have talked to several people, and Zheng Ji's carriage came slowly, and did not stop at the entrance of the village, but went straight in along the road.

The people who had been cheated by other homes last year were still waiting for Zheng Ji. Seeing this, they hurriedly asked someone to follow him. Where is Zheng Ji going? Wouldn't they not accept them?

The carriage slowly swayed to Gu's house. The courtyard wall that was a bit higher than other houses was very different. The driver saw that the door was locked, and went to knock on the door of the next door neighbor. The man spoke.

After a while, they went to Uncle Guan's house again, where they met Gu Beizhi.

"Master Zheng?" Gu Beizhi wondered why he came.

Zheng Xing'an jumped off the carriage and moved his muscles and bones a bit, "I heard from Manager Du that you are on leave today, and it happened that I was coming to collect grain and come to see you."

Gu Beizhi stepped aside, "Young Master Zheng, please come in, I haven't seen you in the store for a long time, and I thought the young master was still in the county."

"I just came back a few days ago, and I wanted to go to your place to buy two new paperweights, but it didn't quite happen."

Zheng Xing'an looked him up and down, but didn't look If something went wrong, it didn't look like he was sick, and he didn't ask him why he asked for leave.

"When the young master is free next time, come to the store and I will recommend a few to you." Gu Beizhi led the people to the house where they lived and asked Guan Zhou to pour some water. "Of course it's fine." Zheng Xing'an didn't mind that his room was small and crowded, and seemed to be very chatty.

When he turned his head, he saw two children peeking out of the door, beckoned to the two children, and asked Gu Beizhi, "Is this your two children?"
