My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire!

The two little girls were brought into the house and stood doing chores for Gu Shouxin, while Gu Si was polishing ink and Gu Xin was registering on the other side.

Soon, the government officials led the people in one by one to report the situation.

The whole city moved, and almost every household took materials for tying lanterns from the Yamen. Gu Shouxin sent people to bring them back from Cizhou on horseback.

For the lanterns purchased, 60% were purchased by the government and 40% were purchased by ordinary people.

Gu Xin looked at the person who came in and felt that something had changed from when he was shopping a few years ago.

The eyes of these people have changed. There is light and hope in their eyes.

Although the money each household turned over was not much, they were really happy.

In Gu Xin's opinion, one tael of silver can't even buy their suit, but one tael of silver is enough to cover the expenses of a family in Kuncheng for several months.

She felt a little uncomfortable. She thought about the past, when her father was addicted to drinking and gambling, her mother was depressed all day long, and her sister didn't like to talk to others. She was frightened every day.

What changed at home?

It seems that the whole family is working together, and there is no need for grandfather and uncle to push. Dad knows how to do things on his own, and mother is starting to think about ways to make money.

Therefore, Gu Xin believes that unity as a family is the first priority, followed by not being afraid of hardship and working hard, so that life will get better.

Kuncheng is different from other cities in that there is nothing for people to survive on. Even if the people are united and not afraid of hardship, what will they do to make a living?

Farming? Doing business?

Gu Xin wrote down the bits and pieces of income handed over by the people of Kuncheng one by one, and an idea slowly took shape in his mind.

Except for people from the five neighboring countries, few people come to Kuncheng. Even businessmen from other states will not stay here permanently.

Then they might as well do business in those five countries.

Those five countries usually don't even hold lantern festivals, so the food they want to eat won't be as delicious as Da Zhou!

Gu Xin was thinking and writing at the same time, very attentive.

By sunset, almost everyone had registered.

Gu Xin turned her wrist, twisted her neck, stood up and stretched.

Gu Shouxin checked the accounts and collected the broken silver and copper coins.

Gu Xin couldn't help but said: "Dad, haven't the people sent by the emperor arrived yet? You have to do several tasks by yourself!"

Gu Shouxin knew that his daughter felt sorry for him, so he said cheerfully: "The emperor sent me a message before, saying that he will leave after the new year after the selection. I think what the emperor means is to choose people from the newly admitted Jinshi last year, and choose those who are not If you have a family with you, then the trip will be quick, and you should be able to get there before the end of the year."

Gu Xin: "That's good, that's good! Dad, don't be tired. When your little brother is born, you still have to play with him and hold him for a walk! We won't help you carry him if you're too tired."

Gu Shouxin smiled helplessly: "You are really a little worry-maker. You have to worry about everyone in the family. Now that your brother Yuanyuan is back, go ahead and worry about him!"

Gu Xin said proudly: "Brother Yuanyuan doesn't need me to worry about him! He is in the Peng family's military camp. He has Grandpa Peng and the three uncles and uncles of the Peng family to worry about. By the way, Dad, Sisi, I just had an idea. Listen to it and see if it works?"

The two of them put down what they were doing and looked at Gu Xin.

Gu Xin said: "Let's make a snack street! Grandpa and sister know a lot of snacks, and people from Qingzhou will come over immediately and let them learn from grandpa and sister. Once they learn it, let them teach the people of Kuncheng. When the time comes, By putting the snack street in the trading area, we can earn money from the other five countries."
