Chapter 8: Morning Rising

At five o'clock in the morning, Gu Xiaoying woke up, which was a physiological clock that was more punctual than an alarm clock.

The croppers all get up early, clean up early, eat breakfast, and go to the field.

There are also those who go down to the ground for a walk and then go home for breakfast.

Gu Xiaoying got up lightly, afraid of waking up Gu Xiaoqing, and wanted her sister to sleep a little longer.

However, Gu Xiaoqing still got up in a hurry, put on his clothes neatly, and packed up the futon.

"What are you doing, it's nothing, let's sleep more!"

Gu Xiaoying was taken aback by Gu Xiaoqing's quick movements, usually this girl is not so active, what is wrong today.

"Sister, you fetch water, I cook, and I can feed the chickens and pigs along the way. The two of us worked together to do it quickly, and the parents in the province had to get up and let them sleep more. Gu Xiaoqing had already walked out of the sleeping room and entered the stove room.

From the corner of the wall, I picked up a bundle of corn stalks, which is the most common firewood burned at this time, and there are many of them, and the corn has just come down.

He lit the fire, broke a few stalks and broke them into the best length, stuffed them into the fire pit of the stove, and stabbed them with a burning stick.

Put a little water in the cauldron, brush it with a loofah pulp, pour it out, and continue to scoop a few scoops of water, which is generally mushy in the morning, hot steamed buns with two black noodles, and garlic eggplant and spicy cabbage pickled two days earlier from the pickle jar against the wall.

Served on a plate, this is a side dish in the morning.

Thanks to the craftsmanship of this pickled vegetable was learned by Li Xuemei's family, Li Xuemei's hometown is from the northeast, and the method of these pickles is also brought over, although it is not very rare, but for the local people who don't clean up these vegetables, their family is also a bit tricky.

Gu Xiaoying had already washed her face and went out with a bucket.

Now the water is fetched to the village well, and there are three collective wells, but the only one close to the village is the one at the entrance of the village, and it is also the place where the women in the village have nothing to do and do their homework.

Gu Xiaoqing made the paste neatly with his hands and feet, heated it in the pot, and smoldered the fire.

Then he brought a bucket of boiled pig food and went to feed the pigs to the pigsty in the backyard.

I raised a pig at home, and every year I waited for the pig to be killed for the New Year to have meat to eat.

This is only 84 years, just a few years after the package production was delivered to the household, people still dare not show their strength to do something, basically those who have the ability are to raise more pigs, feed some chickens or something, and increase the income of the family.

There are no blatant traders, they are all waiting, and the bold ones will secretly bring chickens, ducks, vegetables and fruits at home to the market to exchange money, and it is relieved to see that someone is also doing this.

The timid don't dare to do this, and some things are also bought by the state through the supply and marketing society.

After all, at this time, everyone doesn't know what will happen in the future, if there is any more exercise, the big hat must be buttoned down, and no one can catch it.

Of course, no one thought that society would change a lot in the future.

Gu Xiaoqing also knew that with the harvest from her father's and mother's fields, even if she didn't subsidize the second uncle's family, it would be enough for her family's expenses, and it would still be a tight expense.

At the very least, you can wear clothes without patches.

But if it is a big change and the quality of life can keep up, then don't think about it.

In the days of big fish and big meat, that is not to mention pondering.

But Gu Xiaoqing thought about doing some business in advance this time, at least he couldn't let his father and mother always face the loess with their backs to the ground, he and Xiaojie would go to school in the future, if they went to college or something, the cost would always be large, so they couldn't borrow it everywhere, and if they could borrow it, they could not borrow it.

So, plan ahead.

Thinking about ways to save money early is the king.

At least you don't have to look at other people's faces, you have something in your own hands.

In her last life, Gu Xiaoqing had worked for decades, and she hadn't done anything.

I've done almost everything, and I've learned some craft, so it's easy to at least make something to eat and sell by yourself.

It should be enough to buy and sell a little money, save a little money, and improve your life.

Gu Xiaoqing is still not worried.

Although I didn't have any education in my previous life, I was better at hard-working, and other bosses were willing to use myself, and I still had a little talent in cooking, at least I could teach it, so I was so sure.

Pouring the pig food into the pig food residue in the pig pen, looking at his own thin pig, Gu Xiaoqing had to sigh.

It's not been a few months since the Chinese New Year here, and with pig food like this, how much can this pig grow.

I'm afraid it's not fat when it comes to the end of the year.

These two years of pigs, but according to the fat to set the standard, this meat is not fat, and it can't be sold at a price, after all, the pocket money all year round, but this pig accounts for the majority.

It seems that in the next few months, I will find some pigweed to come back and fatten this guy, at least I can't live up to my family's hopes.

That's our tuition.

Back in the front yard, Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei had already gotten up and were washing their faces, there was no such thing as brushing their teeth at all, and there was no spare money or toothpaste at home.

The family is all big yellow teeth.

Don't say it's a good breath.

Gu Xiaoqing thought about how to get toothpaste and toothbrushes at the end of the year, the family doesn't like to be clean so much, and it will be a joke when people go out.

Seeing Gu Xiaoqing, Gu Ruhai was a little unnatural, what he did last night was a little sorry for the child, this honest rural man, in the end, felt sorry for his daughter.

He stammered and said to Gu Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, why did you get up so early?" ”

In fact, there is nothing to say.

Gu Xiaoqing chuckled, "Dad, I thought about going to the field with you today, there are more people and work faster, my grandmother in the province always said that I am pampered, and I haven't started school yet." I'm afraid I won't be able to help my family a lot if I start school. ”

Seeing himself smiling, Dad Gu Ruhai's ashamed look, Gu Xiaoqing knew that he was not kind.

When Gu Ruhai heard this, he immediately sighed.

Yes, if you want to go to school, you have to pay tuition, but that costs two yuan.

Don't talk about two yuan in your own family, there are less than five cents left now.

What can I do?

Seeing Gu Ruhai's frowning brows, Li Xuemei knew that the child's father was worried about the tuition fee, so she persuaded: "It's okay, it's a big deal, I'll go back to my parents' house and talk to my brother and sister-in-law first, and the grain will be sold in the next year, and it will be paid back immediately, which is not a big deal." ”

Gu Ruhai also knew that he could only do this, knowing that Li Xuemei's sister-in-law was not a good talker, but compared to his own younger siblings, she was still reliable over there.

Gu Xiaoqing also knew that her words had aroused her parents' worries about money, but she couldn't do it if she didn't force her parents to do it.

If you want to make money, it will take time, and it will only be a few days before you leave school, and if you have a reborn golden finger, you can't get money.

It can only make parents worried.
