The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 708 Homecoming

Gu Chengyu looked at the banyan tree that was getting closer and closer, thinking in his heart whether to expand the old house or not.

But he is only the youngest son, and the old house is inherited by the eldest son, so it is too lenient for him to dictate this matter.

This house was originally built by him, but as the long house, if his younger brother is required to pay for the expansion of the house, the eldest brother will definitely not look good.

Besides, the Jiang family is on the side, so the Jiang family's yard must be demolished, so that the yard can be made magnificent.Otherwise, even if the depth is extended, the door is still a big deal.

"There is a family next to my old house. Even if I want to expand it, there is no way. Besides, I am not the eldest son, so I can't worry too much."

Zhu Pang understood, but he believed that Gu Chengyu should have thought of expansion.

After all, the old mansion of the official family is really shabby with such a facade.

Gu Chengyu and the others had a total of seven carriages, and there was quite a lot of movement into the village.

It was the busy season of farming, the sky was still very bright, and there were many people in the village working in the farmland.

Gu Chengli was watching the long-term workers planting seedlings on the ridge with his hands behind his back. Now that the Gu family is rich, there is no need for him to do it himself.It's just that he can't stay idle, and often goes to the ground to help.

He rolled up his trouser legs and planned to go down to plant rice seedlings.

Aunt Wang's family has also bought some fields one after another in recent years, and they have collected ten acres, and their life is not bad.

"The head of the house, you have finished the work at home in the past two days, so hurry up and help the Gu family. How can you feel sorry for taking other people's money and asking you to do your own work first?"

As Aunt Wang said, she straightened her back and tried to catch her breath.At home, Xiao Huang was cooking, so she went to the field with the two men in the family.

She glanced casually under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, but her eyes widened immediately.What's that, convoy?

Then she threw the seedlings in her hand into the field, patted her thigh and shouted: "Look! Is that the Gu family Xiaobao's carriage? Is Xiaobao back?"

Aunt Wang's family member Wang Erniu also straightened his back and looked towards the banyan tree, "Oh! There are so many carriages, it's really possible that the Gu family Xiaobao is back, isn't it just a few days?"

"Oh hello! It must be. No, I have to call the boss of the Gu family, his little treasure is back!" After finishing speaking, Aunt Wang climbed onto the ridge of the field barefoot, ready to call Gu Chengli.

Gu Chengli went to the field with them, and everyone greeted them on the way.However, Gu Chengli's field is a little far from the village, and it is almost close to Changling Mountain.

"Mother, this is coming to an end soon." The dog was left on the other side of the field, seeing his mother climbing up the ridge of the field and running towards the rear.

Gou Sheng looked at the convoy in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a little resentful.

His mother has compared him with Gu Chengyu since she was a child, and he has always lived in Gu Chengyu's shadow.

Why Gu Chengyu was admitted to the scholar, Gu Chengyu was admitted to Juren, Gu Chengyu found a profitable job for his family
There were so many things like this, Gu Chengyu didn't know what ecstasy drug he gave his mother, as long as Gu Chengyu came back, his mother would be happier than anyone else.

Even when Gu Chengyu was away from home, his mother sometimes nagged that Gu Chengyu would suffer when he was away.He went to work in the county, and he never saw his mother so worried when he came home once in a few days.

It seemed that Gu Chengyu was his mother's own son, and he picked it up.

Gou Sheng has never seen modern times, if it is in Gu Chengyu's previous life, then Aunt Wang is a loyal fan of Gu Chengyu.

"Boss Gu, your little treasure is back!" Aunt Wang ran barefoot on the ridge of the field, and greeted Gu Chengli who had already landed.

Gu Chengli heard Aunt Wang's shout from a long distance away, he looked up a little dazedly, Aunt Wang was so anxious, he didn't know what happened.

"Boss, it seems to be saying that your official master is back!"

A long-term worker at the side heard it clearly. He has worked for Gu Chengli for more than two years, and he still has some understanding of the situation of the Gu family.

There is an official in the Gu family, and everyone in the surrounding villages knows about it.

"Indeed, yes, it should be that the official has returned to his hometown." Another long-term worker listened carefully and echoed.

"What? Xiaobao is back?" Gu Chengli hurried to Tiankan when he heard that, feeling extremely happy.

"Auntie, but Xiaobao is back? I'll go back right away."

Seeing that Gu Chengli heard it, Aunt Wang stopped running this way, turned around and wanted to go to Gu's house to join in the fun.But then he remembered that his seedlings hadn't been planted yet, so he came back to his senses and ran to his field.

The rice seeds were still brought from the Gu family. Before, every household grew wheat and sorghum.Now that the Gu family has rice seeds, more people grow rice.

However, this rice is not small, and it cannot be grown in places that are not close to water sources, but wheat must be grown.

The women in the village had already gone home one after another to cook dinner, when they heard the sound of a carriage from a distance, they all looked up at the entrance of the village.

"Oh! Why are there so many carriages here? Are they going to the Gu family again? There seem to be more of them today than before."

The mother-in-law of Dalan's family has just returned from the field, and her family still has the two acres of land.Too lazy to go to the field, she can only work on her own, and has to go back to cook when the time comes.

She said this because since the fifth member of the Gu family was admitted as the No. [-] scholar and became an official, there has been an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages visiting the Gu family every day.It's just that she was a little surprised to see so many carriages coming all at once today.

The old Wang was walking to the side of the big lazy woman, and after hearing this, he also started to guess.

"The days of the Gu family are really up. People often say that one person can reach the sky. Hey! I don't understand. Anyway, the Gu family has become prosperous."

Old Wangtou didn't drive the ox cart this year, and his ox died of old age. Without the ox, he couldn't do the business to and from the town.

"Ouch! I'm afraid the official of the Gu family has returned." The slutty lady just thought of this now, and she felt a burst of excitement.

There was an official in Shangling Village, and in the past two years, no other villages dared to cut off the water source of their village.

Mrs. Lu was sitting on the top of the kang, tidying up the clothes in the kangqin, and pulled out a pair of small tiger-headed shoes from inside.

These shoes were worn by Xiaobao when he was a child. At that time, Xiaobao had just learned to walk, and she couldn't help but see Xiaobao's toddling walk in front of her eyes.

At that time, she was holding Xiaobao's little hand and learning how to walk step by step in the dilapidated courtyard of Gu's family, and Wan'er was beside her, clapping her little hands and laughing at how his brother walked like a duck.

Thinking about it, Lu's eyes burst into tears.

Gu Chengyu waited for the carriage to drive to the gate of the courtyard, and jumped out of the carriage impatiently.

Pushing open the half-hidden courtyard door, before stepping in, she shouted inside: "Mom! I'm back."

Lu Shi was a little dazed when he heard the voice, looked out the window with tears in his eyes, and found that a young man had already arrived in the yard, and who was that tall figure, if it wasn't her Xiaobao?
"Little treasure?"
