Chapter 237

Lin Shuixiu's brother is very concerned. Between the lines, he praises his sister's good.

Lin Shuixiu, who was looked at by the toothed people, didn't have any sadness or dissatisfaction. Instead, he wore a shy smile and turned over his well maintained and delicate palm to check the other party.

Not only that, Lin Shuixiu took out the small screen that Lin Shuixiu processed for the embroidery house in the town and asked the unusual looking tooth man to check it carefully.

When the toothed man tossed for a while, he finally nodded with satisfaction and said the treatment of the job he introduced to him.

No wonder Lin Shuixiu doesn't like the twelve silver given to her by Gu Zheng. The five-year living contract girl has been calculated according to the monthly example of the second-class girl.

There are 800 big money a month, and there are 9 Liang 6 in this year. Moreover, the silver reward for the Spring Festival and the clothes in the four seasons are all calculated separately.

If the young lady's embroidered clothes are finished and married, the remaining three years should also be put under the hands of the old woman to continue working.

People in the family said that in the future, the clothes of our little grandchildren will also be bought by ourselves.

With such generous customers, Lin Shuixiu is unwilling to work in the government office unless he is stupid.

But the Lin family are willing, but those admirers who heard the news are not willing.

They gathered around the gate of the courtyard one by one, holding the silver money they robbed from their home through struggle, and blocked there to prevent Lin Shuixiu from leaving. They wanted her to think clearly and not to do the work of serving people.

Now, marrying any of them can not lead a rich and noble life, but it can also ensure that she has no shortage of food and clothing, joy and peace in her life.

Is it not enough not to look at other people's faces and not to be slaves and maidservants?

Not enough, does the swallow know the ambition of the swan?

No one in this fishing village really knows Lin Shuixiu except Gu Zheng.

Therefore, everyone saw such a scene. In their eyes, the weakest little green plum, holding a handkerchief in tears, signed the five-year deed of sale under the "coercion" of the ferocious brother Lin.

The Lin family just sent the kindest and most capable daughter out of the house with a small package.

As the guarantee money for the deed of living, a full twenty liang of silver was temporarily put in the hands of brother Lin's family. The famous scholar was very comfortable in his hands.

Seeing this, Gu Zheng couldn't stay out of it. In his mind, the soul that had been quiet was finally excited, which made Xiao forget the book can't ignore his existence.

"Well, I'll go up and help, but in my way. If she still doesn't want to, I hope this is the last time to let you see whether the green plum imagined in your mind is the Lin Shuixiu in front of you."

"Let's see if the girl you like is Miss Lin in reality or just the beautiful impression you imagined."

Seeing that Gu Zheng was finally relieved, the soul of the client calmed down and let Gu Zheng stand quietly in front of Lin Shuixiu in this chaotic environment.

For the first time, he looked at Lin Shuixiu, who was half a head shorter than him, and said the next words.

"Lin Shuixiu, the sister of the Lin family, in fact, you don't have to do this step at all."

"Although our small village is not a rich town, there are still some families who live a carefree life."

"So many villagers in the village will not see you suffer. They still have the ability to help."

"Why do you force yourself to the present situation? Do you know that even the servant girl who signed the deed of living must abide by some of the master's rules?"

"Once you touch someone else's scales, it's too late for everyone to ask us to help again among high-ranking families."

"It's really that good to hand over your destiny to others and live a life without freedom?"

"Do you know that as long as you choose anyone who admires you in front of you, you will live a safe, happy and happy life in the future?"

"Here, this is the money I talked about yesterday. Don't worry, it's just a simple loan to your family. After all, we grew up together since childhood and have been taken care of by you."

"Take it and don't take that last step."

"And me, I have saved a few Liang here."

"Sister Lin, this is my money."

Seeing that Gu Zheng took out the silver naked son, the young people in the village behind him finally couldn't bear it and took out their sincerity one after another.

And it was in such eagerly looking eyes that Lin Shuixiu shook her head after all.

She looked at such a scene in which the crowd was excited, but she laughed, gently gathered the package in her hand to her arms, and said the following words.

"No, you don't have to feel sad for me. This is my choice. Under the current situation of our family, no one in this village can take the burden of this family without complaint all his life."

"Only when I go out by myself is the best choice. You don't have to stop me. Don't you think the obstruction made because of the fever of your mind is the embodiment of irresponsibility?"

"Who among you is really capable of helping our family go through today's difficulties?"

Hearing this, Gu Zheng grabbed his arm in the crowd and drew back from the corner of his mouth: "what a simple thing. Let the brother surnamed Lin go back to the village and go fishing with us?"

"No matter how bad it is, you can make a living without worrying about food and clothing. In addition, if the capable young man in the village marries you, he can help the family. How can he say that he is as broken as the family who wants to sell children and women?"

After hearing this, a group of people who had lowered their heads began to realize it suddenly.

The angry Lin brothers and sisters returned to Gu Zheng in unison: "shut up!"

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to when you're full and the whole family is not hungry."

"Don't worry, even if we marry cats and dogs, we won't marry you who have no external wealth."

"It's like a toad wants to eat swan meat! Daydreaming!"

After elder brother Lin said these words, Gu Zheng's eyes were staring at Lin Shuixiu's direction and waiting for the answer from the man who grew up together: "do you think so?"

And Lin Shuixiu's clumsiness did not disappoint Gu Zheng. She just wanted to pay off her words and turned her head to her side. Here she said a word: "I... I, brother Gu, you'd better leave my business alone. I understand your mind, but we have no chance in this life."

Hearing this, Gu Zheng finally sighed. His hand, which had reached into his waist pocket, stretched out again. When he stretched out again, his palm was empty.

Gu Zheng waved to Lin Shuixiu with a little irony and relief, and said his most sincere words to Xiao Qingmei after he returned to the village: "sister Lin, you must live well with your heart, and always remember today's choices and words."

"Not for others, just for your own spirit and no regrets in the future."

Lin Shuixiu, who was also solemn, made a salute. After she stood up seriously, she firmly said her last sentence with the people in the village: "I naturally don't regret. Don't worry about me."

Anyway, from today on, I will be completely separated from your life track. There will be no trace of you on my way to Lin Shuixiu.

Turning around, Lin Shuixiu, who left with the toothers, didn't see a small round pearl lying quietly in Gu Zheng's small purse around his waist.

If she made the choice of an ordinary girl today, the harvest of the late Kingdee shell that was supposed to be sent to her will appear in the hands of sister Lin's family.

It's more than enough to go to school for her big brother and treat her father.

This is even Gu Zheng's compensation after choosing another person for his client.

However, Lin Shuixiu is still like his previous life. His eyes look towards a broader future. What people need is not only financial help, but also a sincere heart of pearls.

That kind of sincerity is worthless for little green plum.

But in the end, the two people's road in this life is completely separated.

Gu Zheng, who was down-to-earth, set foot on his road to Gongliu island without looking back after a few days of shameless eating and drinking at the village head's house.

There is his official career and his longing for future life.

Looking at this increasingly tall, green and astringent young man, he slowly walked out of the small fishing village. The village head who had been looking at the entrance of the village finally turned his head and rushed home.

Unexpectedly, before the man reached the door, the old woman of his family hurried out, because she found a small package with a thin envelope attached to it in the room specially cleaned up for Gu Zheng.

"Show me, what did Gu write?" the village head threw away the paper with some amusement. After he carefully read it three times, he opened the small package with some trembling.

There was nothing superfluous in package, just three equally thin national silver tickets of the SF Tongbao.

The top of each sheet is clearly stamped with a private stamp, and the extractable denomination is clearly marked with: one hundred and twenty.

The content on the paper is more simple, which means that Gu Zheng is deeply helped by the kind-hearted people in the village. Now he wanders outside and has made a little achievement.

Nothing in return, I can only express my gratitude to the small fishing village and its people with silver money.

I hope the village head Grandpa will use the money where he needs it.

For example, the threshing machine in the village and the stone road running through the entrance of the village need to be renovated?

Or is this year's harvest not good when the fishing village goes to sea?

And the money is enough to spend what Gu Zhengxin said.

And at the end of the envelope, Gu Zheng seemed to mention that even if he didn't come back in the future, such money would still be sent to the village head one after another.

Gu Zheng is used to the wind and water outside. He may not know what these hundreds of Liang mean to this small fishing village.

But looking at the dark old face of the village head, because Gu Zheng's letter was as excited as a ripe plum, you can know that the money can play a big role.

So when the village head had begun to think about how to use the money properly, his wife's words pulled his thoughts back: "hey? The head of the family? Come and have a look. There is a small inner pocket in the bag."

As the voice of the village head's grandmother fell, a small yellow pearl rolled out of it, made a spiral on the soft cotton thread and fine cloth, and quietly stagnated on it, only emitting its warm halo like the sunset.

"Maybe this is Gu's harvest when he went to sea. Pearls are also a valuable object. I think we can exchange them for silver."

"But save it when you can't use it anymore. I always feel that when I see this, I always feel that Gu is still in our house. I haven't gone far."

"Then save it!"

The old couple who made the decision trembled across the threshold, and their words had changed from the money to what to eat in the evening.

……

Life is like this. It doesn't stop because of any person or thing.

In Gu Zheng's opinion, the past two years were like birds flying in the twinkling of an eye.

In the past two years, the sailors on Gongliu Island found no less than four small islands that could hide ships in the sea area they defended.

In the past two years, Gu Zheng managed the whole island with the radar he shared from the sea overlord.

Not only that, Gu Zheng pushed his cruise line out for a moment, that is, a full 600 nautical miles.

Because of this achievement and the excellent work he has done, his official rank has been promoted to the position of deputy 1000 households, but he still carries his troops of 100 households on Liugong Island.

The supreme commander of Weihaiwei knew very well that he owed a young man who only knew how to do things and rarely asked for credit. When Gu Zheng was 16 years old, that is, the last month when his engagement with Wang Yingli was about to expire, he sent an application form to him during the routine evaluation of the military headquarters.

Gu Zheng's promising youth, military experience and his contribution to Gongliu Island were written in the above official documents.

This year, however, was the day when the bandit country was in chaos and the Pirates of the bandit country who could not survive flocked to it.

Seeing such a watch, the people of the military headquarters waved a pen and sent an urgent order to Gu Zheng.
