Chapter 8: Returning Home
Entering the store, Gu Jiayang put Xiaoxiao's stool on top and said generously: "Good, you can order whatever you want to eat." "The menu in this store is still handwritten, and Gu Xiaoxiao still can't recognize all the words, so naturally there is no good thing about taking the menu. But he still sold cuteness to his father: "I want to eat small meatballs, I still want to eat fish, and bring some more to my mother, I haven't eaten meat for a long time." ”
Huang Jian smiled happily when he heard this, and said to Gu Jiayang: "My eldest niece is still a big thing, and ordering a dish is a big dish and taking care of the family, what a good eldest daughter." Gu Jiayang was happy in his heart, and he looked at his girl, who was naturally good anywhere.
I ordered two more vegetarian dishes, and when I was waiting for the dishes, the waiter first got some of my own side dishes, and then served half a catty of white wine. The two big men bragged while drinking.
Gu Xiaoxiao was bored waiting, so she took the opportunity to pull Gu Jiayang's trouser leg and coquettishly: "Dad, I'm going to go outside to have a look, I want to buy chicken cakes." "This is the most popular snack for children right now, so dad shouldn't doubt it. Gu Jiayang waved his hand and let her go, and told her not to eat secretly, lest she not be able to eat.
Xiaoxiao's goal is simple and clear, she took a fancy to the old man who had just passed by pushing a trolley to sell chickens and rabbits, and when she ran out with her little short legs, she just watched the nearby kindergarten get out of school, and the old man stood on the side of the street, waiting for the children to come up, and he could sell one even if he could sell one.
Gu Xiaoxiao squeezed in, and the little rabbits were crowded together like hairballs, squeezed together in a pile of snow-white gray. Occasionally, a daring little head pokes its head to probe the onlookers.
Gu Xiaoxiao's heart was instantly healed, and she couldn't wait to even bring the nest to the space, but she was still sober, the rabbit reproduction rate was too fast, if she bought too much, she might "enjoy" the fear of being dominated by rabbits.
In another bamboo basket, a group of little yellow chickens are chirping, and there is a smaller cage with colorful quails, Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the plush on both sides, her eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and she asked the old man: "How much is a pair of chickens, how much is a pair of rabbits?"
"Two rabbits in a pair, three chickens in a piece. Most of the weak cubs are sold to the dolls to play, and they generally can't live long when they are taken back, so the price is relatively low, Gu Xiaoxiao took out five yuan from her bag: "I want a pair of rabbits, and then the rest of the money is for chickens." ”
This is an open-door business, and the old man saw that this little girl took five yuan to buy it, so he quickly accepted the money, afraid that the adults would regret it after a while. took out the cage he made up again and gave it to Xiaoxiao: "Pick it yourself, I'll put it in for you." ”
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't know how to choose chickens and rabbits, so she simply bought the ones that looked a little fatter and more lively, happily carrying the rabbits and chickens to the corner, and looked left and right that no one was paying attention to herself, and the cat was trying to enter the space in the dark.
She picked up a rabbit in her hand, stared at it and silently said, "Go in." I just felt that the rabbit disappeared as soon as I felt a light hand, and the two rabbits and four pairs of chickens were all in the space.
Gu Xiaoxiao originally wanted to go in and have a look, but she was worried that Gu Jiayang was in a hurry, so she went to buy a chicken cake for two yuan and returned to the hotel. It's good to say that everything is good when I was a child, but now my family is too poor.
Gu Xiaoxiao hasn't had any meat for a long time, and she can only drink some chicken soup when she is sick, and the only few eggs in the family are sent by her grandmother in the countryside, and now the oil is in short supply. Looking at the three meat dishes in front of her, she swallowed her saliva: "Before we go home, order more dishes and bring more to my mother." Gu Jiayang thought about his wife, naturally he didn't eat and drink spicy food, regardless of his wife, rubbed the top of Xiaoxiao's hair and said okay.
The small meatballs are fried on the outside and tender on the inside, the lean meat on the inside is powdered and becomes more tender and elastic, the skin is wrapped in a little flour and fried crispy, Gu Xiaoxiao is almost fresh when she eats it in her mouth. Silently drew a fork in the food and drink in the entrepreneurial project.
Too much competition. Thinking about the previous life, Liu Lianhua was laid off, she couldn't find a job for a long time after the layoff, she couldn't sell snacks to fight others, and she was too old to apply for a job in a private textile factory, and finally supported her daughter by riding a tricycle.
Thinking of the past, the little meatballs in Gu Xiaoxiao's mouth bit even harder, and she only ate one bite at a time, and her mouth was full of oil, and her little belly was round before she stopped. I didn't want to go down to the ground at all, but I still relied on Gu Jiayang to carry her into the car, Xiaoxiao patted her stomach and saw the clothes she was wearing.
Her clothes and skirts are all low-cost cloth that Liu Lianhua took back from the factory, and then sewn and mended them at home.
Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, why didn't she think of this, now is the popular one-child policy, many of the children of Gu Xiaoxiao's generation are the only seedlings in the family. The boy is even more spoiled, and the daughter is also loved.
"Dad, I think Mom's clothes are really good. Gu Xiaoxiao mentioned this stubble coldly, Gu Jiayang didn't react a little, just said: "That is, your mother's craftsmanship is unmatched in the past, and she can make her father's clothes." ”
Gu Xiaoxiao then fooled her father: "Then why don't you let your mother make clothes and sell them to others?" Gu Jiayang didn't think about this problem, in his eyes, Liu Lianhua was already very good to be able to get a salary of dozens of yuan.
And just now I have started to encourage self-employment, and in everyone's opinion, it is still a very shameless thing to start a small business by yourself: "Your mother has a job, how can she be distracted from doing this." Gu Xiaoxiao didn't speak, but said silently in her heart, anyway, after two years, her mother would still be laid off.
When he arrived at home, Gu Jiayang couldn't stay, so he put his daughter in front of the old building, and asked Huang Jian to play billiards together.
Gu Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed, she had just gotten a lot of things around her in, but she didn't get herself in, and after thinking about the space she had entered last time when she was stained with blood, it was impossible to cut herself every time, right?
was biting his fingers and his hair was worried, his saliva wet his thumb, and he said frustratedly: "What kind of space can I put in?" The white light flashed, and Gu Xiaoxiao pounced and stepped on the shallow stream with half a foot.
The chickens and rabbits in the space were running happily, as if they had found a good position for themselves without interfering with each other, Gu Xiaoxiao looked at what the two rabbits were eating, and walked over curiously to investigate.
The tender green grass juice is abundant, the snow-white rabbit three-petal lips are dyed green, the little ears are shaking, and people are not afraid to come, as if they know that they are the master, and continue to eat quietly.
Gu Xiaoxiao matted the rabbit group for a while, looked at the chicken pecking at the grass seeds not far away, and suddenly let go of the tense heart that had been tense since she was reborn.
What is there not to be satisfied with if you have lived one more life? Thank God. Gu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and lay quietly on the grass to let the breeze blow.
Gu Xiaoxiao felt that she had only been lying down for a while, but when she came out of the space, she saw that the sky was full of red clouds, and she wanted to have a good night's sleep in the space. As soon as I walked downstairs, I saw my mother who had gotten off work, holding some fabrics in her hands and carrying vegetables, ready to go upstairs.
"Xiaoxiao. Ms. Liu Lianhua looked at her daughter with a smile, took Gu Xiaoxiao's hand and went upstairs again, "Is your father not at home?"
"Dad went out and hasn't come back yet, Mom, I'm so good!" Gu Xiaoxiao pouted and coquettishly coquettish. It's so good when I was a child, and I can be coquettish unscrupulously, so let me be a child for a while.
The door opened. Liu Lianhua put the dishes in the kitchen, didn't open the cupboard, so she didn't see the dishes packed back by the father and daughter, turned around and went out to stop Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, come here, mom will measure your waistline. Liu Lianhua took out a soft ruler from the basket and pulled it, beckoned Gu Xiaoxiao to come over, gestured on her a few times, and said okay.
"When I went to work two days ago, I saw a little girl wearing a beautiful cotton skirt, I haven't seen that style yet, you will go to school in a short time, is it okay for mom to make you a new dress. Liu Lianhua picked up the pen again and drew on the waste newspaper.
Gu Xiaoxiao took a look, isn't this the ruffle skirt that she only became popular in junior high school?
Autumn in the town comes very quickly, and the days are cold before September, and spring and autumn seem to be dominated by summer and winter throughout the year. Therefore, the material brought by Ms. Liu Lianhua from the factory is thicker and can be worn until October.
Soon it was dark, Gu Jiaming rode back, Liu Lianhua forgot the time after getting her clothes for a while, and only when she saw Gu Jiaming did she react, and hurriedly said that she was going to cook.
"Mom, don't cook, we brought the vegetables back. Gu Xiaoxiao jumped off the bench and ran to the kitchen to take out the packaged dishes from the cupboard.
"With so many meat dishes, you seem to have a good life in the past two days, how much have you earned?" Liu Lianhua smiled and teased the father and daughter.
Gu Xiaoxiao touched the lines of her thumb and answered, "It's too much, more than a hundred! Mom, I think it's easy to make movies and make money, and I asked the director, selling clothes is also very profitable! Mom, why don't you quit your job and make clothes and sell them yourself!"
Gu Xiaoxiao has her own thoughts, and she wants Liu Lianhua to quit her job in the garment manufacturing factory and open her own store. Now there are not many clothing stores, especially customized ones, and even less, and now it is absolutely safe to open a store!
