Chapter 38 We can’t live like this anymore, let’s split up!
Because they were busy planting rice these days, Gu Yuhe and his classmates’ classes were suspended.
However, because Gu Huachao learned the new skill of transplanting rice, the system rewarded her with 50 education points on the grounds that "when three people walk together, there must be one who can teach me something."
After Gu Jiayue heard the news, although her body was still sore, she felt better.
Well, I am 0.0001 step closer to purchasing "One-on-one Tutoring by Famous Teachers".
Now that the farm work is done and the children at home have some free time, it is natural for teaching to start again.
So when the whole family was lying in bed to rest, Gu Jiayue ruthlessly pulled Gu Yuhe, Gu Bailu and Gu Zhigeng out of bed.
Well, there’s no need to pull out Goudan, he came early.
"Sister, I'm so tired, I'm really so tired! Please let me have a good sleep for two days!" Gu Yuhe pleaded weakly.
After being bitten by a leech, he thought he could rest for a while, but his grandmother asked him to cook a meal at home and then asked him to transport seedlings to the ridge of the field.
It is not easy to transport the seedlings. They have to be transported from three fields away to the edge of the field, and then thrown into the field. This process took six or seven days, day after day.
At this moment, he felt that his hands were no longer his.
His arms were so sore that he couldn't even hold the chopsticks steadily; the blisters on the palms of his hands were broken, and even after applying the best ointment he still felt a burning pain.
"No! You must not slack off when it comes to studying. Logically, you should study every day. Seeing how hard you worked a few days ago, I've given you a break." Gu Jiayue said seriously.
When she was in school, even on Labor Day, the teacher would assign a lot of homework.
Helping my grandma with work during the day and doing homework under a kerosene lamp at night was really painful.
So, she felt that she had been very tolerant towards them.
"Ah! Second sister! You have such a cruel heart!" Gu Yuhe kept complaining, sometimes saying that his legs hurt, sometimes saying that he had a headache, trying to avoid studying.
Grandma couldn't stand it any longer. She grabbed her shoe and rushed out, her eyes wide open. "Come on, try to howl again! I told you to study, but you're still resisting. Don't you think others can't even beg for this opportunity? Study now! If anyone dares not study again, I'll let him know why the flowers are so red!"
When Grandma Gu yelled, the three siblings of the Gu family instantly huddled there like frightened quails, not daring to say a word.
Gu Jiayue was extremely satisfied watching this scene. When the school was established, she could really give her grandmother a position as the principal. She was so fierce that she could definitely scare the children away with just one shout.
The position of principal was tailor-made for grandma.
Speaking of running a school, Gu Jiayue thought of Hu Zi again, and wondered if he had received the letter.
Hu Zi, whom Gu Jiayue was talking about, arrived at Taohua Village in the evening.
The class team was just finishing school at that time.
"Miss, these are what you asked for." Hu Zi put the gifts on the table and said respectfully.
After checking them one by one, Gu Jiayue nodded with satisfaction. "Well, not bad. Sit down and take a rest. Dinner will be served soon."
Because there was no place to live in the village, Hu Zi returned to the county town during this period to help Aunt Cai and others settle Gu Jiayue's large items.
After planting the rice seedlings yesterday, she thought that since she hadn't had much to do recently, she decided it was time to do her work. She sent a message to Hu Zi, asking him to buy a few jars of wine and some gifts, as she was going to visit the village chief.
Hu Zi scratched his head and smiled innocently, "Not tired. Miss, there's not much to do, so helping you with errands isn't tiring at all."
Gu Jiayue asked a few more questions about the arrangements made by Aunt Cai and the others, and Hu Zi answered truthfully one by one.
Then Li's mother called everyone to eat. Gu Jiayue took a jar of wine and invited Hu Zi to come over.
"Grandpa, look what this is?" Gu Jiayue raised the wine jar in his hand.
The eyes of all the men in the Gu family lit up instantly, and Grandpa's eyes sparkled even more, as he eagerly reached out to take it. "Oh, this smell! I can smell it from so far away! This must be the Zhang family's Liyuanchun!"
After saying this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, his face full of intoxication, as if the aroma of the wine had already spread on the tip of his tongue. His mind couldn't help but emerge with the wonderful taste of Liyuanchun that he had heard of in the past, and his heart was itching, and he was looking forward to trying it quickly.
Hu Zi quickly took the jar of wine, a respectful smile on his face. He first poured a full bowl for Grandpa Gu and said, "Grandpa, you have a good eye! This wine was carefully selected by me at the Zhang Family Tavern in the county town. It's a rare 30-year-old wine! Please try it and see if it suits your taste."
After saying that, he quickly poured four bowls of wine, and each adult male in the family received a bowl.
Oh, except Gu Yuchuan, because in the eyes of the Gu family, he is still a baby.
Grandpa couldn't wait to pick up the wine bowl and take a big gulp.
As the wine entered his throat, a satisfied smile instantly spread across his face. His eyes narrowed into slits as he praised loudly, "Great wine! It really is great wine! The taste is rich and mellow, with a long aftertaste. It's truly wonderful!"
He smacked his lips, still immersed in the pleasure brought by the wine.
Grandma saw this and gave him a blank look, but didn't say anything.
Everyone has been very tired these days, so it wouldn't hurt to have a drink to relax.
Seeing Grandpa drinking heavily, Gu Jiayue quickly stopped him, thinking about going to the village chief's house later. "Grandpa, drink less. I'll need you to accompany me to the village chief's house later, so don't get drunk."
Grandpa waved his hand nonchalantly, a bit of pride on his face. He puffed out his chest and said loudly, "It's okay, it's okay. I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk! Back in the day, I could drink a lot too. This little bit of wine is nothing!"
As he spoke, he recalled the drinking scenes of the past, as if he was still the young man full of vigor and vitality back then.
Before he could finish his words, Grandma Gu quickly snatched the wine bowl away. She tilted her head back and drank the wine in the bowl. Then she snatched the wine jar and hugged it in her arms, saying angrily, "Even bragging has to have a limit! Didn't you hear Jiayue asked you to do something serious later? Come back and drink!"
After saying that, she glared at Grandpa Gu, feeling a little angry. "Really? I was trying to give you face by letting you have a drink, but you just don't know how to control yourself."
Grandpa held the empty wine bowl, the smile on his face froze instantly, and he was filled with sadness.
My wine! This is a jar of fine wine worth one ounce of silver. I had only smelled it before, but today I finally got the chance to taste it. I took just one sip and it was gone!
But when he looked at his wife's majestic appearance, he didn't dare to say a word in rebuttal and could only suppress his grievance in his heart.
In desperation, he could only turn to his sons for help.
The three sons seemed to have telepathy and each one was faster than the other. In the blink of an eye, they drank up all the wine in the bowl.
They were helpless. Although Dad was important, Mom's anger was even scarier. They could only silently complain in their hearts. Dad, I'm sorry, we don't dare to challenge Mom.
At this time, only Gu Yushan was left looking at the half bowl of wine left in the bowl with a conflicted look on his face.
If I drink it, I feel sorry for grandpa; if I don’t drink it, I’m afraid of being blamed by grandma.
After hesitating for a long time, he said cautiously, "How about I save it for Grandpa to drink when he comes back?"
He raised his head with a hint of expectation in his eyes, hoping to get the approval of his grandparents.
Before the grandfather could express his love for his grandson, the grandmother's ruthless and indifferent hand reached out and snatched the wine bowl, sternly saying, "If you can't finish it, don't drink! Eat everything!"
Gu Yushan shrugged helplessly and looked at his grandfather helplessly, as if to say: "Grandpa, I tried my best!"
Grandpa Gu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, picked up the bowl and took two big mouthfuls of rice.
But the busy farming season was over, and today's meal had returned to its previous state of being more cornmeal and less rice. Grandpa Gu narrowly avoided choking to death on those two mouthfuls of rice.
Grandpa Gu was heartbroken.
I can't live like this for even a day! Divide up! Divide up now! I want to live with the third brother's family!
