Chapter 32: Money

Liu Yuan was silent for a while after listening to Gu'er's words, he knew that he was a little anxious. But he was really worried, dozens of miles away, Gu'er was just a girl's family, in case something happened, there was not even anyone to help, but Gu'er refused, if he asked strongly, it would seem that he had ulterior motives.

"Can you really do it yourself?"

Liu Yuan was still a little unsure.

"Really, don't you think I've been here at a good time?"

Gu Er nodded and assured that it was better for her to go back by herself than for Liu Yuan to send her back.

"Alright then, be careful on your way."

Liu Yuan could only give up, it was a good intention, and it was not good for people to think that he was forced.

Gu Er smiled at him, seeing that someone came to buy vegetables again, she hurriedly accosted someone.

When the vegetables were sold, Gu'er packed up the things.

"Then I'll go back first, Brother Liu Yuan, you can go back quickly."

Gu Er said goodbye to Liu Yuan.

"Okay, you must be careful on the road, by the way, when will you come next time, I'll help you."

Liu Yuan's last question was very soft.

"No need, you see that I can be busy myself, why delay Brother Liu Yuan."

Gu'er refused, and a young man on the other side helped him, which made people see the misunderstanding.

"Don't be polite to me, you and my aunt are the same tun, if my aunt knows that I don't care about anything, she will definitely say about me."

Liu Yuan used his aunt as an excuse again.

"This?"

Gu Er was a little hesitant, the other party was sincere, she could see it, if it was acceptable, she was a little ......

"Sister Gu'er, don't think about it, I don't have any other ideas, I just see that it's not easy for you, and I want to help."

Liu Yuan saw Gu Er's hesitation and explained in a low voice.

"I know, so be it, Brother Liu Yuan, if you want to help me, then you can help me get this basin back."

After thinking for a while, Gu Er took down the basin in the car where she came to serve water and handed it to Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan looked at Gu Er with a puzzled expression, what does this mean? What do you do with a basin?

"Brother Liu Yuan, that's the case, I filled a basin of water when I came, but because the road was not good, it was all gone, and I don't have anything else to fill with water at home, I'm worried about this, if your house is not far from here, please help me bring some water next time."

Gu Er explained her intentions to him, the taste of not drinking water for a day is very uncomfortable, especially when she sweats a lot, if Liu Yuan helps her with this, then she will really be much more comfortable.

"You haven't drunk water all day today? Really, why don't you say it, I would have gone back to help you carry the water, I have talked to you so much, you wait, I will bring you the water now. ”

Liu Yuan's eyes flashed with a faint distress, he didn't know that Gu'er had no water to drink, and he kept talking to her, no wonder her voice was a little hoarse, it turned out that she was thirsty, she was so careless, why didn't she think of it.

"No need, no need, I have to go back now, I have water at home when I go back, I will come over the day after tomorrow, Brother Liu Yuan will help me send some water if he has time the day after tomorrow, I am not in a hurry, I can do it at any time."

Gu Er hurriedly stopped him.

"I know, I won't take the basin, don't worry, I will definitely bring you water when you come next time."

Liu Yuan nodded in response, he didn't take a pot, first, he knew that the Zhou family didn't have many pots and pans, one less, for fear that the Zhou family would not be happy, and second, he would take a pot back, and his mother would ask more.

"Okay, then thank you, I'll go first, Brother Liu Yuan, let's go back quickly."

Zhou Guer waved at Liu Yuan.

"Okay, then you should be careful on the road."

Liu Yuan told Gu'er again.

Waiting for Gu'er to push the cart away, Liu Yuan looked at Gu'er's back for a long time, he didn't know what was wrong with him, maybe it was because Gu'er was good-looking, maybe it was because Gu'er had a poor background, anyway, he felt that Gu'er had entered his heart.

When Gu Er returned home, the sun had sunset, and when she put the car into the yard, and before she could wash her face and drink saliva, Zhou Mazi asked urgently: "Quick, you tell Lao Tzu, how much money did you sell today?" Is there a piece? ”

Zhou Gu'er went to see his adoptive father, only to see that his face was anxious, but there was a faint expectation in his expression, his eyes stared at him without blinking, as if he had flowers on his body, Gu'er knew that if he was not a daughter, he was a son, and he was afraid that he would have pounced and rummaged through to find money.

"Dad, I sold a dime and a cent today."

Gu Er replied softly, with excitement on her face, this amount of money was what she thought in her heart, there are many thorny old sprouts today, and there are many other vegetables, and it must be more than last time, so if she reports less, Zhou Mazi will definitely suspect it, because he himself is about one piece, but if he reports a piece, Zhou Mazi will also doubt in his heart, the number he reported, there are whole zeros, yuan, angles, and points, so that Zhou Mazi will not be suspicious.

As for the real amount of money, Gu Er checked it on the way back, because of the thorn old sprouts on two sales, today she sold a total of two yuan and five cents and seven, which is really a lot, you must know that the people who work in the city in their tunzi, the best one is now only getting a salary of ten yuan a month, and many people can earn a few yuan a month when they are busy, and they earn really, really much.

Gu'er is still very satisfied, and she has a lot more confidence in herself.

"Quickly show it to Lao Tzu."

Zhou Mazi looked eager, and he couldn't wait to reach out and grab it.

Gu Er took out a handkerchief, in fact, it was a handkerchief, that is, a piece of clothing that she couldn't wear was cut into a square cloth, which was very convenient to use to wrap money.

Zhou Mazi took the handkerchief, looked at the gross ticket inside, took a sip of his finger with his mouth, dipped it in a little saliva, and began to count.

Gu'er turned his face away and didn't look at Zhou Mazi.

Zhou Mazi's dark hands, even if he doesn't work, there is black mud between his fingers, think about his scorched teeth, saliva dipped in his fingers, and then dipped in the handkerchief, Gu'er doesn't know if she has the courage to take the handkerchief again, but she also knows that many people love to dip their money in saliva, and it's not just Zhou Mazi. But the veil must be washed off later.

"It's really a dime and a cent, even if you didn't fool Lao Tzu, okay, Lao Tzu took the money."

Zhou Mazi smiled with satisfaction after counting, this girl is really right, she can really make money for herself, if it goes on like this, he won't worry, what is the thirty yuan that Zhang Da gave, it's right not to agree to him.

"Dad, why don't you leave me two cents?"

Gu'er said tentatively, although she already knew the answer.

"What are you keeping, what are you doing at home for food and housing! Just remember it. ”

Zhou Mazi glared, but because the money was in hand, he didn't scold anymore.

"I'm out, don't fucking look for Lao Tzu at night."

After Zhou Mazi finished speaking, he hummed an unknown tune in his mouth and walked out.
