Chapter 471 Silver Bracelet
Gu Qingqing told Gu Zhuangzhuang everything she knew in a cramming manner.
"When will the duck arrive?" Gu Zhuangzhuang couldn't wait to rub his hands when he thought of the duck about to arrive.
"It will take a while. We need to pluck the hair over there first. You can heat up the stove first. Xiaocao and I will go talk to something." After Gu Qingqing said this, she pulled Xiaocao to the front yard.
"Sister, is there anything else?" Lu Xiaocao followed behind her, somewhat puzzled.
"When I came back, my mother asked me to bring back some of the money from home. She told me to put it with you first."
"Did mother ask you to bring back all the money from home?"
"Not all of it. There should be three or four taels left at home. I only brought back fifteen taels." While Gu Qingqing was talking to Lu Xiaocao, she had already gone into the house and found the small package she brought back from her mother's home. When she opened it, there was about fifteen taels of silver in it.
Lu Xiaocao had some guesses in her mind, but since it concerned her father and mother, she didn't plan to ask and just put the silver away.
Gu Qingqing gave the silver to Xiaobao. Seeing that there was no one around and Shengxi was not nearby, she gently pulled a handful of grass and said, "Find a chance to talk to Shengxi about this later. If it works, we can verbally agree to this while your brother-in-law is at home."
Lu Xiaocao hurriedly said "Hey", took the silver and went out.
......
Three happy things happened at home that night.
Firstly, Gu Zhuangzhuang is indeed a foodie, and he roasted the duck really well. Although it was not as good as Gu Qingqing wanted, it was much better than what Zhao Nan had made at that time.
I think after a few days of exploration, I will definitely achieve what Gu Qingqing wants.
Second, about the fields.
Wen Wuyan and Gu Qingqing discussed it on the way back from Shuangxi Village. They planned to rent some to Zhao Dong and his friends. So, Wen Wuyan and Zhao Dong mentioned this during dinner.
"Brother Dong, you guys are a lot, are you interested in renting my land? Just tell us how much you need, we'll split the rent 40% to 60%. We get 40%, and you get 60% for your hard work."
Zhao Bei and Zhao Nan, who were standing by, opened their mouths wide when they heard this, especially Zhao Nan, who had just taken a sip of rice soup. He was so surprised that some of the rice soup had already flowed out of his mouth.
No matter how you look at him, he looks like someone with dementia.
"Brother Wuyan, didn't you say it the wrong way? It should be six for you and four for us, right?" Zhao Bei couldn't help but remind him.
Wen Wuyan smiled at him and said, "You are right. Your sister-in-law and I have already discussed it. You get six and we get four."
"Why?" Zhao Dong asked.
"Because I don't make a living by selling food." Gu Qingqing said at this time, and then she said, "Brother Dong, you can also reclaim some wasteland around you. When you have money in the future, you can buy the land you reclaimed and use it as your own private plot. When the bridge over there is built, I think some people in the village will go over there to reclaim wasteland."
"Oh, by the way. That place is next to the river. I plan to build a large waterwheel there later, which will be convenient for irrigating crops in the future." Gu Qingqing said again.
Zhao Dong nodded excitedly, "Okay, I'll discuss it with the others when I get back and see how it goes, and then I'll tell the boss."
Seeing that the matter was accomplished, Wen Wuyan and Gu Qingqing didn't say anything more.
The third one is naturally about Zhao Bei and Wen Shengxi.
After dinner, the three giants Wen Wuyan, Gu Qingqing and Zhao Dong gathered in the study again. After talking about something, Zhao Dong went back to call Zhao Bei. The Wen family naturally called Wen Shengxi. Thinking that it was a happy event, they simply did not go into the house and talked in the yard.
Instantly the children in the family knew about it and all gathered around happily to watch the fun.
Even Old Yang was leaning on a bench nearby, laughing happily.
Zhao Bei, who was called over, blushed and handed Wen Shengxi a handkerchief in front of everyone. He was so happy that he stammered, "This, this is what my mother left for me when I was very young. She said that I would find a wife in the future... I will give this to you first. If you think it's not pretty, I will prepare something nice for you when we get engaged in the future."
As Zhao Bei spoke, he had already opened his handkerchief. A silver bracelet lay quietly in the handkerchief. The bracelet was not large and its style was simple. It must have been hidden somewhere by Zhao Bei. The silver bracelet did not look shiny.
However, thinking that this was something he had hidden for more than ten years and it was still intact, it was a blessing.
Wen Shengxi didn't expect it to happen so soon. Her sister only told her about this in the evening. She didn't know how she agreed to it. She came with the things that night.
She looked at the things Zhao Bei handed over, and her pretty face, which was shy and happy, showed a feeling of being at a loss. She looked at her elder sister and elder sister Qingqing for help, not knowing whether she should accept it.
Gu Qingqing smiled at her, "Since you are interested in each other, and the adults from both sides are here, this matter has been verbally agreed to, so just accept it."
Seeing that her usually chattering little sister was still a little shy, Lu Xiaocao simply took the bracelet handed to her by Zhao Bei and grabbed Wen Shengxi's hand to help her put it on her wrist.
Lu Xiaocao looked at the empty bracelet and smiled, "It looks a bit big now, but you are still growing, so it will be more suitable for you to wear it later."
Wen Shengxi, wearing the bracelet, stole a glance at Zhao Bei and was instantly flushed by his fiery gaze.
Zhao Dong also saw that Zhao Bei's eyes were almost glued to Wen Shengxi, and he smiled helplessly and said, "Zhao Bei, come back and sit down, what are you still standing there for?"
Then he turned his head and said to the people present, "Boss, Xiaocao, when do you think it would be a good time for them to get engaged?"
Gu Qingqing went to see Lu Xiaocao. It was obvious that she didn't intend to do this. Seeing this, Lu Xiaocao didn't refuse. She thought, "Why don't we pick a good day at the end of this year? Otherwise, my sister will give birth after the Chinese New Year, and there will definitely be a lot of things to do at that time. What do you think, sister?"
After Lu Xiaocao gave the general outline, she looked at Gu Qingqing.
Gu Qingqing looked at Zhao Bei, whose face was also red, and said half-jokingly, "It's all right. If they get engaged early, they will have a reputation and won't feel awkward when they meet at home in the future."
Gu Qingqing said this while looking at Zhao Bei and jokingly said, "Anyway, Zhao Bei will have to wait a few more years to marry Shengxi. Haha, during this time, he can just watch over her but not get to eat her."
Zhao Bei knew that Shengxi would be kept by his sister-in-law for two more years. He was not in a hurry when Dong Ge didn't mention it before, but now that it was mentioned, he felt itchy in his heart as if he was being scratched by a cat.
No matter how itchy he felt, he could only nod his head resigned to his fate. After all, he would be married in two years, and the thought of it made him happy.
