Chapter 23 Borrowing money
A pack of 21 packs of well-off cigarettes, one is only 11 yuan, take the well-off cigarettes home, and then light the fire in front of the stove, wait for the meal, and then go to the uncle's house to discuss something.
Even if I don't buy this cigarette today, I will buy it in the future, mainly to ask someone to help carry the waste to the street.
The waste collected this afternoon alone made the grandfather and grandson run ten times, according to this trend, if it is still two people carrying waste products, then they will have to shed their skin if they don't die, so they have to buy a cigarette to help people carry it.
After dinner, Guo went to take a pack of Xiaokang cigarettes, and then went to the uncle's house.
It was just right to go at this time, because they had just had dinner and had not yet slept.
According to Guo Qu's understanding, his uncle was sitting in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, while his aunt was shining on the kerosene lamp and sewing clothes.
The two families were very close, and in less than a minute, Guo went to the courtyard, and his uncle was smoking a cigarette and enjoying the shade in the courtyard as he thought.
Seeing Guo coming, he got up and asked him to sit, then walked into the house and came out with another stool.
"How's it going? I heard your grandfather say you're collecting scrap. ”
"It's okay. It's just a little tired, and it's not good when I harvest it, but it's uncomfortable to carry it to the street. My grandfather and I ran ten times today, and now our shoulders are swollen. ”
"You're still early! I think when you were so old, you went up the mountain with your grandfather every day, and spent the whole day in the fields, and when the sun went down, you had to chop wood and pick it up. ”
"Well, it's uncomfortable. ”
"You! Alas, your generation is like this, you can't endure hardship, and my kid is like this, every time he comes home from vacation, let him dig potatoes, dig for a few minutes and say no, I really don't know how you will live in the future. ”
"Isn't my cousin studying, studying, and I will definitely not have to work in the fields in the future. ”
"! You have to read to stop working, every time he comes back and asks him about his grades, he is hesitant, and finally he bursts out, and he is the third in the class, or the bottom!"
"Ugh. ”
Guo Qu didn't know how to answer at this time.
Uncle Guo took a short cigarette gun and knocked on the leg of the stool, "By the way, you went to the city yesterday, how was he?
"When we went, school had just ended, and my cousin had just returned to the dormitory, and he hadn't started cooking yet. ”
Hearing the conversation outside, Guo Qu's aunt also walked out, and Guo went to hurriedly shout "Uncle Niang".
"Sit, I just think the room is too deserted, and I want to come out and sit down, and you talk about yours. ”
Uncle Guo went to take a look at the eldest uncle, and then reloaded the cigarette gun with dry tobacco, and then said, "If you want to say that these schools are real!
"That's it! My Xiaoqing lost weight last time I came back, I feel sorry for me, your uncle wants to send the child to the city, I persuaded him many times, but he didn't listen. ”
Guo went to his eldest aunt and nodded hurriedly in response, which mother is not worried about her child.
Guo Qu has always remembered the purpose of his visit, but now is not the time to speak, perhaps due to the influence of his elders, if he wants to borrow something, he will always come back after talking about it, in fact, it is mainly embarrassing to open his mouth directly, which is a euphemism for rural people.
"That kid, if his grades are still like that, Lao Tzu will pull him back and let him do the crops with me, at least he won't have to worry about food and clothing!"
In fact, Guo Qu wanted to tell his uncle that his child was not suitable for studying, but he couldn't say it, if he said it at this time, it would definitely make his uncle dissatisfied, even if it was true, he would be dissatisfied.
It's better to wait for him to wake up, and then he will come forward and let his cousin follow him.
It's just that at that time, I'm afraid that his cousin will have to take off a few layers of skin, and his uncle will not beat people easily, but as long as he beats someone, the person who was beaten will remember it for the rest of his life.
Guo Qu still remembers that in his previous life, his cousin was in his forties, and as long as his uncle stared, his body size would be a little smaller, because he was afraid.
"It's better to let him stay outside longer, communicating with others will be a good exercise for his cousin's eloquence. ”
said something against his will, but what he thought in his heart was his cousin's tempered eloquence, opening his mouth was "mmp", closing his mouth to say "day pus", and then opening his mouth became "day your ancestor." ", closed his mouth again and replaced it with "the day of your ancestors". In the end, it is even more powerful, and I will directly say "hmp".
Thinking of this, Guo Qu had a smile on his face, and he really admired his cousin who would scold people in his previous life, and as soon as his cousin scolded him on the phone, there was no repetition.
"Also, when your cousin comes back after going out, he does talk more than when he was at home. Uncle nodded seriously with deep understanding.
“……”
"Forget it, don't mention him, you said that you collect waste, and if you can't afford it, call me, I'm your uncle, and I can still afford these little favors. ”
Guo Quxin said: Finally said this.
"Okay, if there are too many in the future, I'll come back to you, but I came today, I do have one thing, I want to ......"
"Say, there are no outsiders here, you are the one I grew up watching, and I will help if I can. ”
"Well, that's right. "To be honest, it's really hard for Yu Guo to talk about borrowing money, so his voice became smaller without accident," I think...... Borrow some money. ”
"What? Borrow what? You speak louder. ”
"I said, I want to borrow some money. As soon as the words came out, I was embarrassed to be thrown out of the clouds, and the more I spoke, the louder I spoke, the louder I said, and returned to the loudness of normal chatting, "Yesterday afternoon, I collected nearly 1,000 catties of waste and took out more than 500 yuan, but the scrap I received was not enough to fill a car, I have 1,000 yuan here, and it is estimated that it will be gone today, so I want to borrow some money, and wait a few days to pull the waste to the city and sell it, and I will return it to you." ”
"How much is missing?"
"I guess it's a thousand dollars. ”
Uncle Jiang Lai lit the extinguished dry cigarette again, and took a deep breath, he didn't have no money, although his family was poor, but he was in the prime of life, and he still took out 1,800.
It's just that Guo Qu is too young, only ten years old, this is a thousand yuan, and it feels ridiculous to lend it to a ten-year-old child.
However, in the past two months, Guo Qu's performance is not like a child at all, he is very sensible, and even very business-minded.
So Guo Qu's uncle was very entangled, he didn't want to borrow, but lent Guo Qu, a ten-year-old child, he really didn't feel at ease, if it was replaced by an old man, he would take it out without saying a word.
For a while, only cicadas chirping and frogs chirping in the yard remained, but the atmosphere was very awkward.
"Ahem, that's right, uncle. It was my grandfather who asked me to come, and he said he would come in a while, but he hasn't come yet, so I'll go and see him. Guo Qu roughly knew the uncle's embarrassment and took the initiative to give him steps.
