Chapter 232 Sharing the Harvest
The Gu family and the beasts had already learned from Old Man Gu that several people would be back today.
After calculating the time, they gathered in Mr. Gu's yard and waited.
Now, when they heard the noise, they all walked out of the living room happily.
Gu Fu immediately released everyone's luggage and boxes of gold and silver, as well as three smart butlers.
When they saw their family members coming out, they were the first to happily shout to Grandpa Gu: "Grandpa, we are back!"
"Good! Good! You're finally back. Grandpa missed our Fu'er so much. Come and let grandpa see if you've lost weight."
Old Master Gu happily took Gu Fu from Daidai's back and lifted him up and shook him.
He said doubtfully, "Grandpa sees that you have lost some weight, but your weight has not changed."
Gu Fu was so happy that he laughed, "Grandpa, Fu'er hasn't lost weight. He eats the same food outside as he does in the valley. He is still growing. Maybe he has grown taller, so he looks thinner."
Old Man Gu lifted up his granddaughter and looked at her again. It seemed that she had grown taller in the past half month.
At this time, Gu Dahe came forward, took his daughter who was lifted up, held her in his arms, and said to Old Man Gu with a smile: "Dad, you are old, don't get tired. Fu'er should be held by me, the father."
"You little rascal, you're so bold. Do you despise your old man for his age?" Old Master Gu shouted angrily.
Gu Dahai hurriedly carried his daughter away from his father, but was immediately surrounded by his elder brother and nephews.
Even little Gu Kang was in Zhidou's arms, twisting his little body towards his sister. "Sister, sister."
Gu Dajiang also said to Old Man Gu in a naughty tone: "Dad, why don't you just hug your son reluctantly."
"Go, get out of here! Don't you see how grown up you are?" Old Master Gu rolled his eyes at his son with disdain.
After that, he smiled at Song Renjing and said, "Ah Jing, let's go inside first.
They have been flying for so long, they must be tired. You guys should come in quickly too.
"The third family, quickly prepare some food and let them eat first."
"Dad, your daughter-in-law is calculating the time. The meal is ready. Do you want to take it to your living room or to the kitchen to eat?" asked Wen.
"Bring it here to eat so we can talk." Mr. Gu said.
"Yes, I will arrange it right away." After saying that, Wen told Zhiling, "Tell the kitchen nanny to send the food prepared for the second master to the old lady's courtyard."
Zhiling responded, "Yes, ma'am." Then she took the order and went down to inform.
Daidai completed the task and couldn't wait to find Shasha.
Gu Fu greeted his family members one by one, and the boys also kissed their sisters for a while. Then they began to greet their second uncle, second aunt and Song Renjing one by one.
After a while of excitement, Kitchen Madam and Zhiling came over with lunch boxes. They set the table and went downstairs.
Old Master Gu waved his hand and said to them with a loving smile: "You guys go have some food first. If you have anything to say, we can talk after dinner."
The flight lasted for a long time. Although the people had some snacks on the way, they could not replace meals after all.
They stopped refusing and started eating quickly.
After the meal, they told their families everything that happened in Zesheng County, no matter how big or small.
Although some of these things were also told by the kids who went out to play when they came back, everyone felt it was clearer and more vivid after hearing it from several people involved.
He talked about his experience of selling goods, the situation outside, the strange things outside, the waiter service, etc., he talked about King Li, the friends he made, buying a shop and future plans, the prayer meeting, and the Buddha sculpture sold at the prayer meeting for a high price of 10,000 taels.
"What! Ten thousand taels?" Everyone in the Gu family who had not left the valley was shocked and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, we also felt it was too high at the time, but Master Yuanhui said it was worth the price and insisted on giving it. However, we also gave a sufficient return gift. We fully deserve it." Gu Dajiang said hurriedly.
Everyone understood as soon as they heard it, it must be that Fuer took out something as a return gift.
"When we came back, the name of Taohua Shanjun had spread throughout Zesheng County. With the influence of Master Yuanhui, my third brother's sculptures will be more valuable in the future." Gu Dajiang said.
Everyone looked at Gu Dahe with envy, feeling happy and envious.
The boys all looked at Gu Dahe with eyes full of admiration.
Gu Dahai didn't know how to express himself anymore and just laughed continuously.
Gu Dajiang found the box for the banknotes from the luggage that Gu Fu had taken out, and handed over more than 30,000 taels to Gu Dahe. "Third brother, this is the silver you earned from selling all your carvings."
"This is too much! Those wooden carvings are worth so much silver?!" Gu Dahe still couldn't believe it after receiving the silver.
"Dad, that's a work of art, and the wood you used is a rare species on the market. It's worth the price. This is only your first time selling it. Now that your reputation has spread, the price of future sculptures will only be higher." Gu Fu said to his father.
Gu Dajiang was even happier when he heard his daughter's words.
Next, Gu Dajiang calculated all the money coming in and out of the valley according to the account book and distributed the money to everyone.
Gu Dajiang had previously discussed privately with Gu Fu about the money received from selling grain, and he decided that all the money should be given to Gu Fu.
Gu Fu naturally refused it, and finally they agreed to give the money to Mr. Gu.
At this time, when the Gu family heard the word "food money", they knew the source of the silver money.
Gu Dahe secretly exchanged a glance with Wen, and when Wen nodded, he handed the money to Old Man Gu and said, "Dad, keep this money."
Mr. Gu stepped back and said, "You can keep the money you earned. I won't worry about it for you."
"Dad, do you want to be distant with your son?" Gu Dahe said with a deliberately aggrieved look on his face.
Mr. Gu said helplessly: "From now on, all of you should keep what you earn."
Gu Dahai saw that his two younger brothers were earning more and more, and he couldn't catch up even if he tried his best. He immediately said, "This is all earned by my second and third brothers, I have no objection."
Gu Dajiang thought that his family could not make money as fast as his third brother and could not take advantage of him, so he said, "I don't mind if we cannot rely on the third brother's family to support our family."
"I have an opinion. We haven't divided the family business yet. No matter how much money we earn, it will all go to the public.
Besides, if no one at home helped me with the wood, I wouldn’t be able to pull it back by myself.
Without my second brother to take it out to sell, others wouldn’t be able to find a place to buy it if they wanted to.
So this money is earned by everyone's concerted efforts and should be returned to the public." Gu Dahe said.
"Yes, eldest brother and second brother, we earned more this time, but maybe you will earn more next time. Don't refuse, let's work together, how can we have less money in the future!" Wen also said.
In the end, Grandpa Gu and his family had no choice but to make the decision, "Okay, then let's do as the third brother wishes and hand it over to the public. From now on, you brothers and sisters-in-law must work together and rely on each other. No one can have any second thoughts." Grandpa Gu said seriously.
