As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Although their father used to take good care of their eldest cousin's mother, that was the care of a brother for his sister. After all, this relationship doesn't seem to have much to do with them in this life.

After all, they are happy that others are willing to remember that kindness. If others don't want to remember it, they can't do anything about their eldest cousin's family. They

feel uneasy about receiving such a valuable gift from their eldest cousin today.

However, considering that their eldest cousin actually has something for them to do, it is understandable.

So, the five brothers Yu Ping'an, Yu Fugui, patted their chests and said in a clear voice, "Brother, you are our brother, just tell us what you want. As long as we can help, we will never be stingy with you!"

Gu Yanzhang heard it and asked them to send all the big and small people in the room, that is, men, women, old and young. He had something private to tell them.

So, these people nodded.

After almost everyone in the room was cleared and the door was closed, Gu Yanzhang took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

"Can you help my family open up some fields this winter? My wife wants to grow some sticky rice. We're going to sell sweet sticky rice cakes outside."

Hearing this, the five brothers Yu Ping'an and Yu Fugui were all very happy. "Isn't it just opening up wasteland? Brother, we agree to this."

"But can you tell us where you plan to reclaim the wasteland? Besides, isn't it usually reclaimed in the spring? In the middle of winter, the ground is frozen. Once you dig with a shovel, you'll find a lot of scrap iron..."

Gu Yanzhang smiled and said, "The upper reaches of our Xiaoyue River is still a wasteland. There is a lot of water there, and it is a fertile swamp. My wife has already contacted his mother and eldest brother in private, and is going to go to the county government to find Captain Huang to rent that large piece of land."

"We plan to take some people there in a few days to clear the water, drain the water, and raise the land. When spring comes, we can plant glutinous rice directly..." After

learning about this, Yu Ping'an and Yu Fugui looked at each other quickly.

Sure enough, what the cousin wanted to do was not easy at all.

However, thinking of this relative of his, his wife's mother was a famous fierce woman in Chenjia Village, the kind with extraordinary abilities.

Since she was able to find the government and rent all the land in Xiaoyue River. It shows that there must be a lot of struggle in it.

Thinking that if the family worked hard, maybe they could borrow the relationship of the cousin next year to rent a few acres of fertile land from him and get more good food. The five brothers Yu Ping'an, Yu Fugui and others did not dare to hesitate and agreed immediately.

"Brother, you can come to us for this matter, which shows that you think highly of us and trust us. We are all conscientious people, so there is no need to delay for too long. Our family will follow you tomorrow!"

After saying this, Yu Ping'an hurriedly arranged for his family members in front of Gu Yanzhang. Let them help pack up, and they will go out together tomorrow.

Yu Ping'an and Yu Fugui are Yu Dahu's biological sons. The other three brothers are Yu Erhu's biological sons.

Among the five brothers, there is no distinction between you and me.

After asking Gu Yanzhang about the specific rules for reclaiming the wasteland, clearing grass roots and rocks, draining stagnant water, and piling up black mud, they had an idea in mind. The

five Yu brothers agreed readily and asked their sons to go with them. Gu Yanzhang was worried about their family.

After all, if the men went with them, it would be more or less unsafe to leave only the elderly, weak women and children here.

However, if all the people in the five brothers' families were taken away, then their mud houses would definitely be emptied by others in just one night.

Don't think that there is no money in this rural area.

However, there are still many people who take advantage of others.

Farmers are definitely not the fools that city people think they are. They are definitely not the simple, peaceful, generous and kind people that they imagine.

There are many kinds of farm people.

They are willing to do things like being sneaky, stealing, and stealing if it can bring them benefits.

Therefore, these rooms in the Yu family must be occupied. Moreover, there must be four or five adult men living here.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanzhang told these brothers all the concerns and ideas in his heart.

After listening, they nodded in agreement. "We really need to keep a few more men in the house."

After seeing that they spent a cup of tea to discuss countermeasures, Gu Yanzhang said to them, "My wife said that if you plan to start helping us in the fall, we will definitely not treat you unfairly. As long as you are willing to come with me, we will take care of your food and lodging. We have built a new house with many places to sleep. Moreover, we have a newly built kang. When you sleep at night, you will definitely not be blown by the wind or rained on. The house is warm. I guarantee that you can sleep all night until dawn."

"..."

Upon learning of such a good thing, the eyes of the five brothers of the Yu family became bright.

Isn't the eldest cousin too real? !

Food, lodging, and a kang to sleep on.

Doesn't this mean that going to his house will save a lot of food?

When they thought about not having to worry about being starved to death this winter, the five Yu brothers hurriedly said, "Brother, I know you are good to us!"

"Brother, don't worry. After we go there, we will definitely work hard to help you. If anyone dares to be lazy, I will beat him up."

Seeing that they were all willing to help his family, Gu Yanzhang was very satisfied.

That's great.

With these sincere brothers helping to work together, their family will definitely save a lot of money next autumn.

As long as the family has savings, their family can do many things again.

A few days ago, his wife mentioned to him that she wanted to build a bathroom. It would be much more convenient and safer to take a shower.

Moreover, his wife always felt that the new house they built was still a little small. It was not enough for the whole family to live in.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanzhang began to draw big buns for the five Yu brothers. "Brothers, the money we have is all due to your sister-in-law's ability. She can make all kinds of buns."
