Gu Zelin and Tiankuo were preparing to go home on the ninth day of the third month, and the things in the capital were almost over, so they didn't have to stay in the capital for a long time, they had to hurry home and be happy with their families.

Especially Tiankuo, he is like an arrow, he can't wait to rush to his sister now, tell her that he has won the champion, and he can make her the champion lady in style.

No matter how prosperous this capital is, it is not attractive to him at all, and it is not as good as the small mountain village where he lives.

The kindness of the Song family declined, and they did not go to the banquet, Song Yao and the Jiang family did not want them to go, of course they would say good things from it, so that the elders of the Song family would not feel anything.

After coming to the capital, I had to buy something to go back, and people close to me had to give some gifts, so on the eighth day of the new year, Gu Zelin and Tiankuo went to the shop outside.

The few servants who worked here accompanied them all the way, saying that they were helping them carry things, but in fact, they were instructed by the Jiang family to keep watching them and not let them go to those crowded places.

The little girl didn't know why, but this was Madame's order, so she could only do it, and she accompanied their father and son all the way, and there was really nothing wrong.

Tiankuo really wanted to buy a piece of jewelry for Siqi to go back, but he didn't have much money on him, Gu Zelin brought money, but he was embarrassed to speak.

Since his life experience came out, although the Gu family gets along no different from before, he has always felt a little alienated in his heart.

If this was before, he would definitely tell Gu Zelin without hesitation what to buy, but now, if he wants to buy something too valuable, he is embarrassed to say it, he always feels that he is a child who has picked it up, and he can't spend the family's money casually.

Although the Gu family is doing well in Tongxin Village, the money does not fall from the sky, if he can earn money himself, he is willing to buy more expensive things for his sister, but the key is that he still has to rely on his family, and he has some income every month, but those are only enough for him to spend alone, where can he save so much money?

Gu Zelin knew him best, of course he knew what he thought, walked to the jewelry store, and saw that he had been staring at a jade bracelet, and his eyes were still on it, and then he turned around and continued to talk to him.

Gu Zelin didn't speak, but he kept it in mind, and when he bought other things, he returned to the jewelry store just now.

Tiankuo didn't stop, but Gu Zelin stopped, Tiankuo turned around, "Dad, why don't you leave?" Let's go back and take stock and see if there's anything else we need to buy. ”

Gu Zelin smiled, "It's hard to come to the capital, why don't you bring a gift back for your son?" This jade bracelet is good, you see. ”

Tiankuo looked in the direction he was pointing, it was the one he had been staring at before, just now he was still thinking in his mind, what would his sister look like with this, but it shouldn't be cheap to look like that, he was really embarrassed to speak.

At this time, Gu Zelin took the initiative to ask, he thought about it, and still said, "Dad, forget it, this is too expensive." "One-eighteen

Gu Zelin said, "How can a gift to your sweetheart be measured by whether it is expensive or not? Qi'er has been following you all these years, and her mind is on you, she is more anxious than you about something, and she deserves a valuable gift. ”

"Although our family is an ordinary family, but this is not unaffordable, when we go home, we will go to the Lin family to discuss family affairs, you are reluctant to buy even a good thing for your son, how can the Lin family marry the baby girl in their own family to you? Do you think that's the truth? ”

Tiankuo hesitated not about this, if he had money, he would be willing to buy anything for Siqi, but this was the family's money, and he was not too embarrassed to spend it.

Gu Zelin didn't know what he was thinking, so when he wasn't paying attention, he pulled him inside, and wanted to go to the people in the store to ask how to sell this jade bracelet.

The two of them were dressed simply, and they came from a small place at first glance, and they didn't attract attention when they entered the store, but Gu Zelin took the initiative to ask, and the little two were willing to talk to them.

In fact, this jade bracelet is not a valuable object in this jewelry store, after all, there are too many rich people in the capital, like this ten or two silver things, for the rich and noble people in the capital, it is a casual thing, not to heart at all, otherwise they will not be placed at the door, the really valuable things are in the counter, or upstairs.

But for the villagers, a jade bracelet costs ten taels of silver, which is really not cheap, enough for a family to eat, drink and spend for a year.

After they asked the price, Xiao Er said with a smile, "Guest officer, the fineness of this jade bracelet is really good, it only sells for nine taels of silver, you look at this water head, it is rare to see, today you met it is also fate, why not buy it directly?" Jade has to depend on fate, if you don't have this fate, you can't meet it. ”

Tiankuo knew that this thing was not too valuable, but it was the first serious gift he wanted to give his sister, and he used to often give Siqi some things, all of which were worthless hair flowers and small jewelry, and he could only afford those.

Siqi has never been disgusted, even if he picks a random flower on the mountain and gives it to her, Siqi is as happy as anything.

Tiankuo took the jade bracelet, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, so Gu Zelin gave the money directly.

After he gave it, Tiankuo was still a little hesitant, "Dad, it's really a little expensive, forget it." ”

Gu Zelin said with a smile, "It's already been wrapped, don't think about it so much, you must have the ability in the future, don't you be filial to your family?" Tiankuo, there are some things that my father shouldn't say again and again, but I also have to let you know that you and Tianyou are really the same, don't think of yourself as an outsider, okay? Do you think Dad can't see what you're thinking? ”

"Why can't you spend all the money at home? Even if I go back and tell your grandparents, they will support me, okay, there is no need to mention this matter, let's take the jade bracelet and go to the front to see if there is anything else to buy. ”

Gu Zelin said that, Tiankuo couldn't say anything more, so he had to nod and follow him forward.

They were originally going to go home on the ninth day of the first month, that is, the next day, but that night, everything had been packed, but Song Yao and Jiang suddenly arrived at the place where they lived.

Gu Zelin and Tiankuo were stunned, and they knew that something was wrong at a glance.
