Today is the day that Ge Kaiwen leaves home.
"Dad, my second brother is going to join the army, are you willing?"
"How can parents be willing to let their children travel, but a man has his ambitions in all directions."
"Mom, dad always said that men have ambitions in all directions, which shows that they favor sons over daughters."
Wu Limei was amused: "This has become your mantra.
As long as you go out, your parents will not stop you."
Ge Kailin nodded vigorously: "Mother is good to her daughter, unlike father who is partial."
Ge Tianyu smiled bitterly.
Among his three children, his daughter was the most precious to him.
However, his daughter always said that he favored sons over daughters, which was really unfair.
That is to say, for going to the town, every time he went back to the town, his daughter would pester him to follow him.
The journey was long, and if he was riding a horse, his daughter would be delicate, so he would not be willing to let his daughter catch the wind.
If he was riding a carriage, the road would be rough, and he would be even more reluctant to let his daughter suffer the bumps.
So nine times out of ten he would not agree, and his daughter would hold a grudge and always say that he favored boys over girls.
Next, the world is dangerous and the town is not at peace.
Although I am not afraid of that family, I still have to be careful.
Who makes my daughter more and more beautiful?
If we really encounter it, it will still be my daughter who suffers.
Seeing her father's expression, Ge Kailin also smiled bitterly.
Her second brother was about to leave, and her parents were naturally feeling uncomfortable.
How could she not know that her father loved her the most, and she was just making jokes to distract her father from his thoughts.
Here the father and daughter are joking, while Ge Li'e is in a trance.
Ge Kaiwen and Wang Hongbin were in the same class.
Ge Kaiwen had passed the exam and left school, but Wang Hongbin didn't know what was going on.
After winter, her period of filial piety was about to expire.
I didn't know if Wang Hongbin would really come to marry her.
They just talked about it verbally that day and didn't know.
No marriage has been decided.
Ge Liping is an aunt like Ge Li'e.
Didn't show up.
For several years, Ge Wenwen had been ignoring Greping.
Greping also knew that she had been hateful in the past, and her nephew was about to leave.
She was afraid that her nephew would be unhappy with her, so she didn't come here, but she didn't work to herd the sheep.
Instead, she stayed in her own courtyard.
Gejiazhuang was built.
Ge Tianyu actually built a sheep farm for Ge Kailin and bought a large flock of sheep.
Ge Liping volunteered to herd the sheep for Ge Kailin.
Ge Ruihao is an uncle.
I was originally going to deliver it, but today happened to be the day when I had to deliver it to the town.
Ge Tianyu couldn't go and he had to go.
He had already been here early in the morning.
Ge Kaiwu went to Shengcheng to study at the beginning of the year.
Because the journey is too long, even if you are two months old, you will have three days of rest.
The trip back and forth was still too hurried.
He promised to come back during the summer vacation, but he didn't expect that he missed seeing his second brother off.

"Uncle and aunt, Xiang'er is here."
Since moving to live next door to Xiaoshan.
Xu Xiang also changed the names he addressed to the Ge family, calling Ge Tianyu and Wu Limei uncle and aunt, and also called the three Ge Kaiwen brothers and sisters by their first names.
He also asked Ge Tianyu and his wife to call him Xiang'er.
Ask Ge Kaiwu and Ge Kailin to call him Brother Xiang.
Xu Xiang is here to pick up Ge Kaiwen, and he will directly send Ge Kaiwen into the army.
I will go back to Shengcheng to study.
"Uncle and aunt, please rest assured.
Kevin is only doing paperwork in the army, and he can also bring his servant with him.
It won't be too hard.
Zhou Ruofa's station is not far from Kevin's place, and he can also take care of Kevin."
The obvious change in him in the past two years is that he talks more and occasionally says a few comforting words, although he is still concise and to the point.
I just don’t know if he is like this in other places.
Xu Xiang also had a small basket in his hand and handed it to Ge Kailin: "I picked this on the road.
I don't know how it tastes."
They are wild grapes, some are green, some are red, and there are a few that are about to turn purple.
Ge Kailin sighed, it's a pity, not many of them are edible.
If only after a while, they might be delicious.
He reached out to take it, but Xuxiang retracted his hand and asked: "Is it inedible?"
This guy, could it be possible that he can read minds, Ge Kailin muttered in her heart.
"Your thoughts are written on your face."
Xu Xiang chuckled.
Oh, is it so obvious?
Ge Kailin touched her face and said with a smile: "This fruit was picked too early.
It is not yet ripe and tastes sour."
Without saying anything, Xu Xiang turned around and walked out.
Ge Kailin knew what Xu Xiang was going to do and quickly called out: "Hey, don't throw the basket away."
The basket is carefully woven and looks really cute.
Xu Xiang turned around and said, "You are asking me why you don't call me Brother Xiang, am I not worthy of that?"
Uh, if I call you with facial paralysis, I can open my mouth.
But if I call you Brother Xiang, I really can’t open my mouth.
Seeing that Ge Kailin was just staring at him with an unpredictable expression, Xu Xiang turned around and left the hospital, waving his hand and throwing the basket into the river not far away.
He didn't enter the hospital again.
He took the horse's reins from the boy with a childlike face who would never change, and waited outside the hospital with a dull face.
Liu Mo had already packed up and was waiting outside the courtyard with two horses.
Ge Tianyu and Wu Limei did not show any reluctance to leave, but just asked Ge Kaiwen to remember to eat as usual when he was at school.
Ge Kaiwen studies too hard and often forgets to eat.
Xu Xiang didn't even look at Ge Kailin again until several people galloped away.
Ge Kailin felt baffled.
How could Xuxiang, an eighteen-year-old man, act like a child who couldn't get candy, and control his anger with an eight-year-old child?
It was really true.
Now that the second brother is gone, I don’t know when we will see each other again.
The fifth brother has only been home once in half a year.
She is the only one left with her parents.
From now on, she must make her parents happy more.

This does not mean that her daughter is their parents’ caring little cotton-padded jacket. ?.
When Ge Kailin was about to go out, a woman came to the door of the courtyard.
When she saw Ge Kailin, she quickly rubbed her hands on her body and stretched out her hand to help Ge Kailin. .
"Sister-in-law Zhang, are you here for anything?"
Ge Kailin asked.
"It's been half an hour since the class started.
I haven't seen the young master here yet.
Please let me take a look."
Mrs.
Zhang's voice was not low.
This sister-in-law is only in her early thirties.
She looks like someone in her forties or fifties because she has been working in the fields all year round and is exposed to wind and sun.
Shui Jue has never been able to change her memory.
Last night, she was told to go to school early this morning to tell Granny Lan that I would be there later.
It seems that she has forgotten it again, so she needs to get a tight spell on her quickly.
Ge Kailin chatted with Mrs.
Zhang all the way.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, is it a little difficult to read?"
"Oh, I'm just learning to read at this age, how can I do it without a lot of effort, but I'm not afraid of the effort.
The day before yesterday, I went to sell eggs in the town.
Someone liked the size of my eggs and said that I just need to sell them later and send them directly to her concierge. , and he also wrote me the address, haha, now that I have a note, I won’t be afraid of forgetting it.
It’s so easy to read, so just put some effort into it.”
"You recognize the words on the address."
"You don't recognize most of them, so ask about my thatch.
You can't recognize all of my thatch.
No, I wanted to ask my little master for help today, but he didn't arrive for a long time.
So I volunteered to come."
"I had something to do at home today and was delayed for a while.
I'm afraid my Shui Jue forgot to go to school to tell her.
Mrs.
Zhang, don't blame me."
"No wonder, the Ge family are all good people.
They don't bully others and teach them how to read.
They are not like the lords, ladies, ladies and young masters in the town.
They treat us as casually as wild dogs.
"That day when I was selling eggs, I saw a girl who was the same size as the young master.
She was selling things on the street with her parents.
A young master said that the girl was an escaped slave from her family.
He was taken away by force, ouch , the child’s parents were crying.
"My Cao Cao begged me to go to town several times, but I didn't dare to take him with me for fear of being snatched away like that child."
"Isn't this robbery?
The government doesn't care."
"The young master is kind-hearted and doesn't know the dangers outside.
Since the young master dares to rob, it shows that he is not afraid of the government.
A beautiful young lady like the young master should never go to the town to play by herself.

That girl is just because of her good looks.
Just suffered bad luck.”
Shui Jue packed up her things and came out.
Her sixth lady was already being supported by Mrs.
Zhang and she was following behind.
This kind of thing happens every day.
My sixth lady is easy-going and talks and acts like an adult.
Not only the servants in the family like her, but the surrounding villagers also like to talk to her.
When I first moved here, both the master and the servants in the family were very busy, getting up early and coming home late.
Because they were too busy, no one noticed the changes in the sixth lady.
It was because the sixth lady was ill that the eldest lady discovered that the blood tumor on the sixth lady's face had almost disappeared, leaving only a pink mark.
Years ago, all the blood tumors on Miss Sixth's face had disappeared, and her mouth and nose had become more refined.
Shui Jue still remembered what Miss Gu looked like when she first entered the Ge Mansion.
Miss Six now looks more and more like Miss Gu at that time.
Also, the hair between the eldest lady's eyebrows has completely fallen off, making her look much better.
Coming here, exposed to the wind and sun, a handsome and fair-skinned man like the eldest man was tanned a lot, but the eldest lady turned out to be getting whiter and whiter, looking younger and younger.
Mother Liu said that the eldest lady and the sixth lady are good people and are blessed by God.
Shui Jue nodded inwardly, Liu Ma was right.
When Ge Kailin was approaching the school, she saw people who couldn't help but look here on the road.
They saw Ge Kailin coming closer from a distance.
The people watching quickly ran back to the school, shouting: "The little master is here, the little master is here." ” Everyone who was playing outside entered the classroom instantly.
Ge Kaiyuan was last and was dragged in by force.
Entering the classroom, Ge Kailin was stunned by the scenery in front of her.
Uh, what is this on the table?
Why does it look so familiar?
It's just wet.
There is a puddle of water on the bottom of the basket.
The basket has been soaked and deformed.
Could it be that it was really the basket that Xu Xiang threw into the river?
Didn't he leave?
Ge Kailin asked the students in the audience: "Who put this here?"
There were many people chattering in the audience.
Some said they didn't pay attention, and some said it was there when they entered the door.
No one admitted that they put it there.
Ge Kailin asked Shui Jue to put the basket away.
It was important to go to class first.
When Mrs.
Lan’s characteristic bell in the courtyard rang, it signaled that today’s class was over.
The students bowed to the Master and went home after class.
If anything happened, they took the opportunity to tell the Master.
"Master, I will be busy in the fields tomorrow, so I may come later."
"Okay, remember to write the words you learned today a few times."
"Little Master, my mother's birthday is the day after tomorrow.
I have to rush there with my family tomorrow.
I'm afraid I'll be delayed for a few days."

"It's okay.
You studied well today.
Just continue studying when you come back."
"Master, I have damaged this note.
Please write another one for me, Master."
"Sister-in-law Zhang, why did your note look like this?"
"I was so nervous that I accidentally broke it."
"I'm going to write it for you right now.
Sister-in-law Zhang, do you still remember the words?
Shui Jue, get your literacy book."
"Oh, this, this, and, this, and, oh, I can't remember."
"Is this it?"
"Yes, yes, the young master has a very good memory."
These students in Ge's private school are different from students in formal schools.
They all take time to come to school and come to class when they are free.
If something happens, for the sake of livelihood, they can only put school aside.
Ge Kailin compiled a unified literacy book, which contains common words that are used in daily life.
She taught students individually, and if they had already learned the words in the literacy books, she would compile additional teaching materials.
Moreover, Ge Kailin remembered exactly what characteristics each person had, which person learned what on which day, and which words were difficult to learn, and she never got confused.
Therefore, although she is only an eight-year-old girl, her students all admire her.
They all listen carefully during class, and few of them are naughty except Ge Kaiyuan.
Although the school is bustling now, let alone students, it was difficult to see anyone except the Ge family.
When I first came here two years ago, there was almost no human habitation nearby.
The few residents here and there were as sparse and far apart as the stars in the sky when the moon was bright.
To recruit migrant workers for the construction of Gejiazhuang, one had to go far away to recruit them.
People come.
As time passed, people gradually began to pay attention to this place, and then some people moved nearby.
When Gejiazhuang began to take shape, some people came to inquire whether they could rent the cultivated land in Gejiazhuang and how to divide it into shares.
The newly opened wasteland is called raw land.
The land is barren and the food yield is not high.
It will take at least three years for the raw land to turn into mature land.
When the land was first purchased, the government allowed Ge Tianyu to be exempted from taxes for the first three years after his wasteland was reclaimed.
Three more years could be added due to Ge Tianyu's reputation.
After six years, the tax collected would be half of that of ordinary people.
Therefore, Ge Tianyu Tenants' rents were lower.
In the first three years, they only collected 10% of the tenants' output, and after three years they collected 20%.
After six years, the government began to collect land taxes, and the Ge family collected an additional 10% and 30%.
Regardless of whether the government's land taxes were increased in the future, the share would remain the same.
It won't change again.
Moreover, the Ge family has livestock and farm tools that can be rented by tenants.
If the tenants sell grain to the Ge family grain store, the purchase price is slightly higher than the price of grain elsewhere, and the transaction can be done directly at the farm.
The Ge family transports the grain to the town themselves.
Grain shop.
That is, the buyer is responsible for shipping costs.
Compared with other wealthy households, the rent charged by the Ge family for the first six years was really low.

After six years, the rent was 10% lower than that of other households.
It also provided additional conveniences.
Some people were tempted and moved nearby to rent the Ge family's property. arable land.
Gradually, more and more people rented and moved in.
Over time, in two years, the current Gejiazhuang was formed.
It is true as Ge Kailin said, everyone in the family is very busy, but because she has small feet and is a child, she cannot help with farm work.
She has nothing to do with housework.
She is very bored in her spare time and thinks of teaching people to read.
At that time, we were only teaching at the Ge family, and there were not many people there.
At first no one came to learn, but gradually some came to test it.
In class, Ge Kailin did not pay as much attention to rules as the master in the school.
Her lectures were easy to understand and she taught according to the needs of the students.
Everyone who came to study felt that the master valued them, and gradually more and more people started to want to learn.
Once, Ge Kailin joked that she might as well open a school and she would be the wife.
She had thought that she would be treated like a child and ignored, just like when she told Ge Kaiwen when she was five years old.
Unexpectedly, her parents actually built a school for her and sent someone to take care of it.
Students are much more comfortable not having classes in Ge's Mansion, and those who were still hesitant at first also come to the formal classes.
Those who come to school just come.
The Ge family does not charge any fees, and the Ge family does not expect to make any money.
The school is only built for their daughters to kill time.
The students feel sorry for themselves.
When the Ge family has something to do, they scramble to help.
The Ge family wants to make a fortune.
Even if I give them wages, they don't want them either
