Chapter 287 Promotion
Gu Wan'er was very sad to lose her mother. Although she knew that her mother didn't love her, she was her real mother after all.
At any time, outsiders' injuries are not considered a big deal, only the make-up of relatives is the most painful, and the pain penetrates to the bone marrow.
Li Yu naturally understood her mood, and specially called Wan'er.
"Sister, I'm in a hurry. I need someone to watch at the other end of the workshop. By the way, you can help me draw some patterns. Both the embroidery workshop and the workshop need new things to stand firm. Please help my sister-in-law."
Gu Wan'er bowed her knees and saluted, "Sister-in-law, just tell me, I'm fine."
She showed a wry smile, knowing that her sister-in-law really loves her, and she is afraid that she will think wrong when she is alone in the room, so teach her how to do it.
Li Yu pulled her to sit next to her, and touched her small face that had lost a lot of weight. Her cheekbones were protruding. In less than half a month, the child had lost a lot of weight, and her bones were gone.
"I don't know what to say. I have also lost my most important relative. I know how hard that pain is. I think she loved you at the last moment. Let it go, we are juniors, forget it!"
Gu Wan'er threw herself into her embrace, choked up and sobbed, without saying a word.
Li Yu just hugged her like this, gently stroked her back, and gave her silent support and comfort.
Looking up again, Gu Wan'er showed a strong smile with red eyes.
"Sister-in-law, I will learn family affairs from you. I will not get married. I will stay in the Gu family. The Gu family will support me. Now that the family needs someone, I can read and write, and I can also help you and your elder brother. .”
"Sister-in-law, I am timid and dare not marry, because I am afraid of being offended. Sister-in-law, don't dislike me for being vulgar and stupid, I am willing to learn my skills..."
Gu Wan'er has made up her mind to become a married woman, and she will stay in the Gu family for the rest of her life, and the child will also have the surname Gu.
Li Yu took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, "If you have to endure hardship, don't you be afraid."
"Don't be afraid, I want to support my father, and I can work without burdening my brother and sister-in-law."
Gu Wan'er's eyelashes were still stained with tears, and she still faced her firmly.
"Good job, this is what I should look like as a general door tiger girl. I will arrange for you to take over the affairs of our mansion and let the third aunt take good care of her body. She is too tired. Later, I will teach you about clan affairs, and follow me I will manage some workshops to help the clan to earn some face."
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister-in-law."
Gu Wan'er nodded vigorously, wiping away her tears, her strength made people feel distressed.
"My good sister, don't be afraid. If the sky falls, you still have your elder brother and sister-in-law to support you. Your surname is Gu, and the Gu family is not arrogant. You will always have a waist, so be tough."
Li Yu raised his chin, his eyes filled with warmth and strength.
"Sister-in-law, it's nice of you to be my sister-in-law..."
Gu Wan'er said this with tears in her eyes.
"Fool, don't think that if you praise me, you don't have to work. You have to take care of the housework and take care of the elderly. Everyone's body is fragile and can't stand worry and fatigue."
"I remember."
Li Yu arranged for Gu Wan'er before leaving for the farm. Gu Ping had returned to the barracks, so she had to watch the boys train.
Gu Lei came back in the afternoon, went around to see his grandpa when his daughter-in-law was not there.
The whole family was there, and several girls from the clan were talking and playing with the old man and aunts. The room was much more lively and popular.
"They're all here, we happened to have dinner together, and I brought back the sauced duck."
"It looks like something good is going on."
The third aunt winked at Grandpa and smiled.
"Yu'er hasn't come back yet?"
"No, Zhuangzi went to training and said that he was going to ride and shoot in the next few days. It seemed that he was going to train in the woods and he would come back later."
Grandpa Gu stared at his grandson.
"Ask me, Grandpa, I have been promoted."
Gu Lei shared the good news with everyone with a smile on his face. He wanted to tell his wife as soon as he came back, but unfortunately she was not here.
"Oh, for what?"
Gu Lin also raised his head happily.
"The embankment is almost finished, and there is only a little tail work left, which is basically finished. It took a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in a few years, and the work was done beautifully. Your Highness is very satisfied. I have been participating in the whole process of tracking for the past few years. Your Highness yesterday My son was promoted to an official for me, and was promoted to a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of War, replacing the old general."
I have been promoted to a higher level because of my good work in the past few years. I am down-to-earth, and the work is very trivial, especially the river embankment, which is very important.
Refugees in the surrounding area also have work, earn money, and live and work in peace and contentment day by day. He has done a good job on both sides, which shows his outstanding talent and pragmatic style and conduct.
Still working under the Minister of the Ministry of War, the official position has been promoted, and he will be responsible for more things in the future, and he will have greater authority and voice.
Grandpa Gu is very happy, and it is rare to show a smiling face. This is the son and grandson who has climbed up step by step by himself, and he is worthy of his pride.
"You've done a good job this time, but don't **** your tail. Work hard. Without your father-in-law supporting you, you wouldn't be where you are today."
This is the truth. Grandpa Gu doesn't speak for him. Those veterans are for his face, and more for Boss Li's face. In the end, he really did a good job. He is low-key, humble, pragmatic and capable, and has outstanding talents. We Xicai took the initiative to support him and recommended him in front of His Highness the Night King.
"It's a great thing. Go and have someone tidy up a table. Let's have a good drink. Go and let people see when Yu'er will come back. Our family should celebrate. Is our old Gu family here?"
Gu Lin clapped her hands happily. Her son is promising. She has seen how hard he has worked in the past few years. She finally sees the light, and her heart is especially open.
While talking, Li Yu came back in leather armor, and came to say hello to grandpa as soon as possible.
"Grandpa, why are you so happy, what good thing did I miss?"
No matter how late the training is or how tired she is, she has to come back to see the elders before going back to rest.
Knowing that the children are working hard, no matter how late it is, the elders will wait for her to come back before going to sleep.
"Your man has been promoted, rank five, and is still working in the Ministry of War."
The third aunt told her with a happy face.
"Really, I am overjoyed, man, you have given our parents face."
Li Yu also raised his eyebrows in surprise, and gave him a thumbs up.
Gu Lei smiled happily, and getting a compliment from his wife made him happier than any other reward.
"Daughter-in-law, take out your good wine, let us have a drink."
"Okay, go and ask some uncles and old men to come over together."
"I'm going to call someone."
The sister of the clan went to call for someone immediately.
"Grandpa, Gu Lei's promotion, is he about to go to war?"
"Not for the time being, but it will be soon. You have to make all kinds of preparations, and you must know it."
Grandpa Gu smiled and nodded.
"I see, I'll go back to freshen up first, prepare some good dishes, don't forget the vegetarian food we eat."
Gu Wan'er and Gu Lin's are vegetarians, one observes filial piety and the other believes in Buddhism.
"Go and change your laundry, I'm here."
The third aunt waved her hand.
