This morning, at about nine o'clock, Guo went to Uncle Tang.

For nearly half a year before he was bitten by a poisonous snake, Guo Qu had no money to go to school, because at this time, unlike later generations, tuition and miscellaneous fees and the like were paid by the state.

So he kept herding cattle for his cousin, and his cousin provided for him to eat, and of course he had a dollar a month.

This is still because he is really pitiful, otherwise, who in the countryside will hire someone to herd cattle and pay a "salary"?

"Do you feel better? I couldn't pull away yesterday, so I haven't come to see you, you won't blame the uncle, right?"

Guo Qu was cooking on the fire in front of the stove, but when he saw someone pushing the door in, he turned his head to look, and at the same time, his cousin's words reached his ears.

"Uncle, you move the stool yourself and sit on it, my legs and feet are inconvenient, so I won't ......"

His cousin moved a stool, sat down and said, "Where is your grandfather?"

"He went to the Tu Doctor's house. ”

"Oh, I'm here today, one is to visit you, after all, you have herded cattle for me for more than a year, and my uncle has no ability, so he can only give you one yuan of pocket money every month, which is two yuan, and you take it." ”

After saying that, his cousin handed over the folded money.

"I can't ask for this money. Guo Qu didn't stretch out his hand to take the money, but said, "There is still one day left to complete a month this month!"

"Uncle gave it to you, you just take it!"

Seeing that Guo still didn't answer, he directly put the money on the stove, and then took out a packet of white sugar from his coat pocket and put it on the stove, and then said:

"You were bitten by a poisonous snake, and Uncle can't help you anything, this packet of sugar, you take it and drink it with boiling water. I still have a few things to do, so I won't stay longer. ”

When people in the village visit the sick, they have to bring white sugar, which is the same as the tonic brought when visiting the sick in later generations.

His cousin's name is Guo Gang, and he is the only son of his grandfather, and after his grandfather came here, he had two sons, one of his grandfather and the other was his grandfather, and his grandfather died early.

Therefore, his uncle's marriage was sponsored by his grandfather, and the two families surnamed Guo within a radius of several hundred miles naturally have a better relationship.

It's a pity that Guo Qu's father had a quarrel with his cousin back then, which made the relationship a little rusty.

Two dollars in the future life, it is really not much, even if someone sees it on the ground, they are not willing to bend down to pick it up, so some people boast: do not bend their waists for two dollars.

But now, for children, it's a "huge amount of money"!

Guo Qu's eyes were a little moist, and he felt that compared to his father, this cousin was simply like heaven and earth.

……

Guo went to see that the rice was cooked, took out the burned sweet potatoes from the ashes with tongs, and said to the girl who was writing and painting on the sofa: "Xiaojing, come here, the sweet potatoes are ripe!"

The girl is at home, and when she has nothing to do, she always likes to take a pencil to write and draw in the newspaper, as for what she draws, no one knows except herself, because after Guo goes to see it, she doesn't know what she draws at all, but he won't hit the girl's self-confidence because of this.

As for the newspaper on the wall, it was taken from the aisle outside the township government, and no money was required.

When the girl is fine, she always likes to write and draw, and then Guo Qu's grandfather always likes to say, "This girl is a reading material." Then he fell into silence, because he had no money, so he couldn't send his granddaughter to school at all, otherwise Guo would not have dropped out.

In his previous life, after Guo Qu dropped out of school, two years later, he was sent to school again, and even admitted to university, because his grandfather put down his body to pick up garbage in the city in order to let him go to school, and he picked it up for nearly ten years, until his grandfather was seriously ill and couldn't walk!

You must know that his grandfather can be said to be an intellectual! In the 90s, it was already a rarity, not to mention that the old man was a literati who learned "Zhihuye" before liberation!

At that time, the literati were real literati, with straight backbones. However, because of Guo, he gave up his arrogance.

As for the liberation, Guo Qu believes that after the liberation, most of the backbone of many literati has been lost, so it is okay not to mention this.

Such a good grandfather is really a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes.

It's a pity that he was ignorant back then, and he hurt his grandfather's heart, even if he was sensible later, but before he graduated from college, the old man went.

……

This dilapidated old wooden house, with a history of sixty or seventy years, was passed down from Guo Qutai's grandfather, who passed it to his grandfather after his grandfather died, which is now.

The old man likes to play musical instruments all his life, so there are basically Chinese folk instruments in the house except for those that are particularly expensive. It's just that most of them are now covered with dust, which shows how busy the old man is and how much pressure his life is, after all, those instruments are his treasures.

……

Guo went to stay at home quietly for ten days, and his legs were finally able to walk on the ground, but he was still a little unfavorable.

Think about it, ten years old is the time to grow the body, one leg has not walked for ten days, the muscle must be atrophied, plus the damage caused by snake venom to the right leg, it is estimated that it will have to wait five or six days to get better.

But now that he can walk, with Guo Qu's temperament, he is naturally unwilling to wait for food at home, and he has no intention of returning to his old business, so he chooses to herd cattle for his uncle.

Life is not easy, especially in the countryside in 94 years, at this time, even if he wants to pick up garbage and sell it, he has no chance.

Where does so much garbage come from in the countryside?

At this time, the common people choose to put a few pennies in their pockets, and even if they want to go to the next few towns and villages to catch up with the field, more than ten miles of mountain roads, most of them choose to walk instead of taking a car.

It can be seen that they will not buy mineral water and canned drinks.

Only the poor know the importance of money, so they will pretend to be good, even if they are thirsty on the road, they are just walking into a stranger's house to beg for water.

Therefore, the road of picking up waste is still not feasible for the time being.

So what to do?

Guo went to hit the idea on the mountain.

In those days, there were still a lot of wild animals in the mountains, and sometimes you could see rabbits when you walked out of the door.

In addition, the villagers have been very industrious in recent years, and the grains, beans, sweet potatoes and the like are planted in the soil that has been cleared out of the mountainside, which naturally attracts wild animals such as badgers and pigs.

For this reason, the common people can be said to spend precious money every year to buy rat medicine, mix it on the tender corn cob, and then put it on the path of badger pigs to spoil the crops.

Guo went up the mountain with a limp and searched for traces of the badger pig. He found animals like badger pigs, holes in the grass left when they walked through the grass or thorns, and then found the poop they pulled.

According to the hardness and softness of the stool, and the color of the stool, it was initially determined that they had passed through this place within three days, and then continued to search for two or three days, so that it was finally determined that the badger pigs he was looking for were still using the path they had taken.

After making sure that the badger pig was still stealing food in this crop field, Guo Qu went home with confidence.

The money he had hidden in his house, plus the money his cousin had given him not long ago, was six dollars.

In this way, he can go and buy a few traps.
