Chapter 104: Intend
Chapter 104 Plan
Gu Chenglin smiled and responded: "Thank you Xiaoyu, I will do it."
Gu Huayu said: "Since we are not going to take the scientific examination route, what are the third brother's plans next? Have you ever thought about it?"
Gu Chenglin's eyebrows were raised and he looked at Gu Huayu excitedly, "I've thought about it. Xiaoyu, last time you said you were in the business of speculating on peanuts and sunflower seeds and selling them.
I think this method is feasible. If we don’t have the capital to open a shop now, we will just sell a pot in the market and start small. When we make money, we will open a shop.
I have also discussed this matter with Brother Zhang. He likes to work in the fields and take care of the crops like his grandfather and the others. We have agreed that from now on, he will be responsible for growing it and I will be responsible for selling it. "
“Wait a minute, fourth brother doesn’t plan to study anymore?” Gu Huayu asked anxiously.
Gu Chenglin smiled honestly, raised his hand and scratched his head and said, "Brother Zhang is the same as me. He feels sleepy when he sees a book. He has not wanted to study for a long time. He is afraid that his grandfather will scold him, so he has been holding back and dare not say anything."
Gu Huayu couldn't help laughing and said, "It's really hard for you."
Gu Chenglin smiled awkwardly, "That's not the case. It's because we failed to live up to the expectations of our elders."
Gu Huayu said: "This is a good idea. I will talk to my father later and we can sum it up."
Gu Chenglin looked up at the sky and said, "It's too early. How about we go find Third Uncle now?"
Gu Huayu looked at the impatient Gu Chenglin, stood up and said, "Okay, let's go."
Gu Chenglin walked out of the pavilion and said, "Xiaoyu, you go over first, and I'll call Brother Zhang."
Gu Huayu responded casually: "Okay, let's go. I'll wait for you by the corridor."
Gu Dechang opened the door and saw Gu Chenglin, his brother and sister, and asked in surprise: "Why are you three here? Is there something wrong?"
The three of them looked at each other, nodded and replied, "Well, something's up."
Gu Dechang was amused by the three of them and stepped aside, "Then come in and talk."
Gu Huayu wanted Gu Chenglin to go to the front.
Gu Chengzhang put his hand on Gu Huayu's shoulder and pushed her forward. "Xiao Yu, let's go in and talk."
Gu Huayu turned to look at Gu Chengzhang. Gu Chengzhang winked at her and said softly: "Good sister, third uncle loves you. Please help me. Fourth brother will prepare delicious food for you later."
"Are you sure you can make delicious food?" Gu Huayu asked.
"Why not? Who wouldn't say the fish I grilled is delicious? When we return to the village, I will grill the fish for you, okay?" Gu Chengzhang replied.
“What are you two muttering about?” Gu Dechang asked.
Gu Chengzhang sat Gu Huayu on a chair and smiled at Gu Dechang: "It's nothing. Xiaoyu said she wanted to eat grilled fish. I promised her that I would bake it for her after returning to the village."
Gu Dechang looked at Gu Huayu and asked: "Xiaoyu wants to eat grilled fish? Are you not full for dinner? How about dad take you out to eat something?" With that, Gu Dechang stood up.
Gu Huayu said hurriedly: "No, no, dad, sit down. I was just having fun with my fourth brother."
“Are you kidding?” Gu Dechang asked suspiciously.
Gu Huayu smiled and nodded, "It's just a joke, just talking casually. Dad, sit down, we have something to tell you."
Gu Dechang sat down again, looked at the three of them, and asked: "What's the matter? Tell me!"
Gu Huayu looked at Gu Chenglin and raised her chin, "Third brother, tell me what you think."
Gu Chenglin looked at Gu Dechang with a guilty conscience, and when he saw Gu Dechang looking at him, he hurriedly lowered his head.
Gu Dechang saw Gu Chenglin's eyes dodge and said seriously: "What's the matter?"
Gu Chenglin looked at Gu Huayu for help. Gu Huayu nodded to him and encouraged: "Third brother, tell me."
Gu Chenglin expressed his thoughts. After hearing this, Gu Dechang didn't speak for a long time.
There was silence in the room.
Gu Chenglin and Gu Chengzhang looked at Gu Huayu nervously. Gu Huayu shook her head slightly at them, signaling them to be calm.
After a while, Gu Dechang asked: "Have you two thought about it? You must know that this will affect you for the rest of your life."
Gu Chenglin and Gu Chengzhang nodded and said, "I've thought about it."
Gu Dechang raised his hand and pressed his temples, sighing: "Okay, now that I've thought about it, let's do it. The shop will open the day after tomorrow. I will go back to pick up your grandfather and the others when they come to the city. I will talk to them then and see them. Say what you want."
“Third uncle, do you agree?” Gu Chengzhang asked happily.
At home, Gu Dechang and Gu Huayu have the most say. Now that both of them have nodded, it’s easy for others to speak.
Gu Dechang glanced at him and asked: "I don't agree, so you two are willing to study? If the cow doesn't eat grass and you force its head to be pressed, it will eat it?"
Gu Chengzhang chuckled innocently, "My nephew is sorry for my third uncle, and has let down his hard work. But, what..."
Gu Dechang waved his hand, "That's all. You two have different talents in reading. It's really difficult to take the scientific examination. It's better to let it go earlier. However, even if you don't take the scientific examination, you should read more in the future. Reading can make you wise and understand. ?"
"Of course, don't worry, third uncle. I want to learn as much as Xiaoyu, so naturally I have to study more." Gu Chengzhang assured him.
Gu Dechang turned to look at Gu Huayu and asked, "Are the arrangements in place at the shop?"
Gu Huayu nodded and said, "That's almost it. There are still some trivial things. I'll sort them out tomorrow."
Gu Dechang said with some guilt: "I am a layman with business matters, so I can't help with anything."
Gu Huayu smiled and said: "There is Uncle Huang. Uncle Huang has already arranged things."
“Thank you so much to Brother Huang. I have to thank Brother Huang very much later. Brother Lin, Brother Zhang, you stay and help tomorrow. I will go back to pick up your grandfather and the others.” Gu Dechang ordered.
Gu Chenglin nodded in agreement, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Third Uncle. It's getting late, let's go back. Third Uncle, take a rest early."
Early on the next morning, Gu Dechang sent Gu Chenggui and Gu Chengliang to Nanshan Academy and then drove back to Shangtai Village.
Gu Huayu, brother and sister went to the rouge shop.
Wang Qin is sitting in the shop, and everything is going on in an orderly manner.
By the end of the day, everything in the shop has been arranged, just waiting for the opening tomorrow.
Shopkeeper Huang stood at the door of the shop, looked up at the plaque covered with red cloth, nodded with satisfaction, turned around and asked, "Is everything arranged?"
Fugui leaned over and said, "Go back to the shopkeeper. Everything is ready. When Mr. Gu and the others arrive, we can start eating."
Shopkeeper Huang nodded, "Okay, take the people and wait at the city gate. Mr. Gu is here and take them directly to Huangji."
Wealth and honor command us to turn around and leave.
Gu Chenglin heard it from the side and hurriedly asked Gu Chengzhang to join Fugui.
At the end of Shen Dynasty, Gu Dechang took the Gu family to the county seat and was taken directly to Huangji.
Gu Huayu didn't see Mrs. Qin and asked, "Auntie, the eldest uncle is not here?"
Wanshi nodded, "Sister-in-law said she would stay and look after the house. Xiaoyu, have the arrangements been made at the shop?"
"Xiaoyu, where is your shop? Let's go and have a look." Before Gu Huayu could reply, Gu Dekang's daughter-in-law Yang rushed over and asked.
