Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.: Chapter 175 Don’t be afraid of not doing good things, just be afraid of not having good people!
Chapter 175: Don’t be afraid of not doing good things, just be afraid of not having good people!
Mr. Liu nodded, "Mr. Guo's knowledge and character are both rare. It would be best for Jiaren to enter Taihua College."
Mrs. Cui also said, "After what happened today, the two families are already familiar with each other. It will not be difficult for Jiaren to enter the academy."
Jiaren couldn't help but smile as he thought about studying. He stepped forward to salute Mr. Wen and Mr. Liu and thank them.
“Thank you, Teacher and Uncle, for their efforts, but we have just settled down at home and there is still a lot of work to do. I want to wait until the family is completely settled before I go to the academy to study.”
Li Laosi was afraid that his nephew would miss the opportunity, so he immediately interrupted him and said: "You should study when you should study. There are so many people in the family, and you are still the only one left to work? As long as you study well, the family will be happy. "
Jiaren stopped talking now, but looking at him, he still couldn't let go of his family.
Everyone stopped trying to persuade him. After all, Taihua Academy was not built just when he wanted to. It would take two or three months to prepare.
After saying a few more words, Li Laosi, Liu Biaotou and others left.
Liu Zhiheng also served his father and returned to the city.
Mr. Wen was left and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Mrs. Cui.
“Senior brother, if you are not busy with errands, can you find someone to check on that Guo Qing. Fu Niu said he is scary, but I always feel something is wrong when I look at him.”
Mr. Wen was surprised. He was only paying attention to Mr. Guo just now, but he didn't pay much attention to Guo Qing.
"Okay, speaking of which, Divine Doctor Zhang also said that he indulged in sexual activities, so he shouldn't be just talking nonsense. I'll check it out and tell you if I have any news. You can live peacefully in the village and go to Suijintan when you have nothing to do. Walk."
“Okay, thank you, senior brother.”
I don’t want to talk about how the brothers and sisters discussed it. I just said that the Li family’s mule cart was wandering towards Suijintan. Everyone seemed to have relieved themselves and felt much more relaxed.
Jiaren was afraid that his sister might catch the wind, so he carefully held her in his arms, "Fu Niu, do you miss grandma? She will be home soon."
Having been out for a long time, Jiayin really missed her grandma and her family, so she clapped her hands and urged her father to drive the mule faster, "Thank you, hurry up, I'll bring something delicious for grandma!"
Just now, Mrs. Cui brought her a lot of snacks and sesame candies and pine nut candies.
Everyone laughed and the mules started to trot.
With one thing on their minds, everyone forgot about the Guo family, but the Guo family didn't think so.
At this moment, Wen Hao was taken down to take a nap, but Guo Qing disappeared.
It was not until after dinner, when it was dark, that he rushed back.
Mr. Guo regained some energy. Seeing his nephew's expression of hesitation, he asked, "Brother Qing, what do you have to say?"
Guo Qing hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Uncle, I always feel that there is something fishy about what happened today, so I went to inquire about it in the afternoon. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the daughter of Grand Scholar Cui, Mr. Wen, and even Mr. Liu and his son. . But those two refugees are a bit weird!"
“You mean Li Qiusheng and Liu Biaotou?” Mr. Guo was grateful to Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou for helping bury their family members, but he remembered them very clearly.
Guo Qing nodded and whispered, "Uncle, it's not that I look down on the refugees. It's really that they are too suspicious. The people named Li and Liu are both from Junyang County in the north. A whole village fled to us. . They were originally poor farmers, but after arriving here, they settled on a gravel beach and found a hot spring.
"Now the whole village has collected more than a thousand taels of silver and hired many craftsmen to build the hot spring village and the new village. The luxurious style makes many people envious. But you tell them, they are a bunch of poor people, where did the money come from? ? It can’t be said that my eldest brother and the others were in trouble and got together with them. They took advantage of the situation and harmed my eldest brother and the bandits! "
Mr. Guo sat up in shock, but he refused to believe it.
"Isn't it possible? Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen are also here, so it's impossible to watch them harm others, and now you are covering up for them, and even telling our family the bad news personally?"
Guo Qing curled his lips and said, "Uncle, you are a gentleman and you think too well of others. But I have seen too many people in the market who are unjust and unjust. Especially at such a moment of running for one's life, there is no sense of law or morality at all." After using it, who wouldn’t want to grab more money and food in their hands?
"Besides, they said they have lived in the mountains for several months. Wherever they looked for food in these few months, they could have robbed my eldest brother and his friends!"
Remembering that Broken Gold Beach had already begun to take shape and would become a cornucopia in the future, a flash of greed flashed in his eyes.
“Uncle, Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen also said that they did not see it with their own eyes, but only heard about it. Those refugees saved them, and it is too easy to deceive their trust.
"If these refugees killed my eldest brother and the others, took away food and money, used the food to survive the winter, and used the money to build a hot spring village, and now they come to our house to report the news, hoping that our family will repay their kindness in the future, they will continue to benefit. It is simply The intentions are extremely terrible!” Mr. Guo didn’t want to believe it, but what his nephew said seemed to make sense.
He didn't care where the food and money his family brought went, or whether it was really used by the Li family and other villagers.
But he wanted to know how his children and grandchildren died and by whose hands they died.
It seems that when Li Laosi talked about this, his words were very vague and he skipped it in a few words.
Originally, he thought it was Li Laosi who didn't want him to be sad, but now if what his nephew said was true, could it be that the Li family was really the murderer of his children and grandchildren, and they didn't want to say more out of guilt?
"Okay, go down and have a rest. Don't mention this matter again."
Guo Qing seemed a little aggrieved, but he still responded obediently and asked the old man to rest early before retreating.
He hid behind the courtyard gate and waited secretly.
Sure enough, within a moment, the old man’s most trusted servant was called into the house.
Every hard work is rewarded, and your efforts will always be rewarded.
Everyone in Qingshui Village woke up early and worked hard until late at night. After staying up for more than a month, Broken Gold Beach finally had a rough outline.
In the valley, construction has come to an end.
Fruit trees were planted on the mountains on both sides, and ridges were opened under the fruit trees, where millet was planted.
Although the villagers would rather plant sorghum, sorghum grows too tall, blocking the sunlight from the fruit trees and taking up more land.
Four rows of houses were built on one side of the intersection at the foot of the mountain. Although they are connected to each other and are somewhat compact, they also appear more regular.
The beams were put up a few days ago, and now the doors and windows have been installed, and the kang has been laid. It only takes a few days for the wind to blow before the wooden utensils can be placed and moved in.
In the riverbank not far away, cold melon seedlings are crawling on vines, and they are lush green.
Next to the cold melon seedlings is the peanut field. The peanut seedlings have just emerged from the ground, but they are still full of vitality.
Beyond that is the sweet potato field. The seedlings bought directly from nearby villages have been growing wildly for a few days.
Jia An Jiaxi and other naughty boys were very dedicated. They had one class in the morning and one in the afternoon. They took good care of the river beach and were often praised by the old men who walked over.
In the new village, women are happily wiping everywhere, papering windows, spreading water and sweeping the floor, and moving a lot of wild flowers to plant in front of and behind the houses.
A long water channel was dug at the entrance of the courtyard, and a separate channel led to the hot springs flowing out of the valley.
From now on, there is no need to boil water for bathing or washing clothes at home.
The wastewater will be discharged into another ditch behind the house and finally into the river.
In order to make water more convenient, the men in the village worked hard for three days longer and used a lot of stone materials.
But it has to be said that the whole village was extremely happy because of these two water canals, and finally had a more tangible feeling of happiness from the hot springs.
The Li family is especially busy because they not only have to clean up their own home, but also the yard of Mr. Ye and Mrs. Cui's house.
Orange Mrs. Li is scrubbing the newly bought Kang mat and exposing it to the sun.
Jiayin sat on the threshold, smiling as she watched the family members busy.
Mrs. Li raised her feet and looked at the yard on the right. She was thinking about Mr. Ye and said, "Young Master Ye has been away for twenty days, right?"
Tao Hongying was washing the pots and pans. Just as she was about to answer the call, she heard the sound of carriages and horses outside the door.
Mrs. Li shouted in surprise, "Let's see if Mr. Ye is back!"
Jiayin also ran out with her little fat legs!
