Now, Mu Nian's Gu Ruxi took Li Feng to stand on the sand dunes by the Jiutian River, looking at the Haosen River. Master Li said: "Is this a foreign river?" Is it the same color as the river on the other side of Ise, and the Pacific Ocean over there?

Gu Ruxi said: "Winter is not like this. The cold wind was howling, and the color of the river was even darker, and I didn't pay attention to it for long. You've been living by watching this river for years. ”

Qiao Yilong suddenly asked, "How long have I been in the wine field?" ”

"A lot until you're sixteen."

"Hey, have I been in Sakata for that long?"

"Teacher Lulu is also happy with this river, and he often comes to sketch."

"Teacher Lulu will learn to paint in the future?"

Gu Ruxi didn't answer, but asked, "Qiao Yilong, what do I want to do in the future." ”

"What do you do, you studied economics, maybe you will work in a bank or a small business? Maybe go to the civil service.

Although you don't want to join Xingchen International Group, it's also good to run your own business as busy as Aunt Chen Feng. ”

"I'm not like my aunt a lot."

"You really didn't want to inherit your aunt's business. You don't have a lot of interest in pottery. Because you saw with your own eyes how hard your aunt was. Maybe it's because you don't have artistic talent. ”

Qiao Yilong cried and said, "Are you really my aunt's classmate?" My aunt has a great talent for pottery, and she can even live on this. ”

Gu Ruxi also cried: "It's nonsense again." I'm my aunt's biological son. ”

"So who are you like? If you are grandpa's own grandson, then it is understandable, grandpa is a genius businessman. ”

"Grandpa didn't do business and open Xingchen International because he was happy. You've had enough of working since you were a kid and you don't have money, so you're working hard, and where can you talk about what to do and what to do if you're not happy? Not to mention the extravagant case of having chosen one's own lifestyle. ”

"Choosing your own lifestyle is a very luxurious case?"

"Well, of course it's a luxury. Like me, who can go to a company that I am happy with, choose me.

Isn't it really happy?

Now you accept it. You still don't know what you're best suited for, what you're really thinking. The small family should go to primary school, and you will enter primary school.

You're going to graduate from elementary school next year.

Tongxin cried: "Yes, after all, the blood relationship is obvious." However, I can hesitate and don't know what to do, TD is still worrying about food and clothing. At that time, Teacher Lulu was also hesitant and didn't know what to do with choosing a career. As a relative of Xingchen International, he has a good life and is attending a girls' school, but he wants to be a painter. ”

"Is this the frivolity of youth?"

If Grandpa could choose for himself, maybe he would have run a lot of different paths. However, at that time, you had to send money home, and you couldn't quit your job at Star International. In addition, you want to learn how to do business at Etoile International. At that time, you believed that if you wanted to make a small profit, the best thing was to be a businessman. "But I'm a woman. ”

Well, when your grandfather died, you had a deep hatred of poverty in your heart. So, a lot of you worked diligently at Star International until the age of sixteen.

During those years at Centron International, Grandpa taught you a lot. If that hadn't happened, many of you would have married from Star International to a merchant family, and maybe you would have lived a more relaxed life. ”

Yuejia listened in surprise.

Maybe that's the destiny of every human being. Gu Ruxi stared into the distance, and the past events of decades ago came to her mind a lot.

After giving her grandfather's funeral, Gu Ruxi returned to Xingchen International again. The stars are changing, the time is better again, and before he knows it, He Xin has ushered in the spring of his sixteenth year.

He witnessed the bleak life of his grandfather and mother, and he decided never to work as a domestic farmer again. With this idea in mind, Gu Ruxi has worked hard in Xingchen International for seven years.

It was the spring of 1916. Xingchen International is still as busy as ever. For many days, the young grandfather came to the kitchen to look for Gu Ruxi, but saw only the middle-aged maid Li Zuo and the fourteen-year-old Xiaoyu preparing dinner.

Seeing that the young grandfather was looking for Gu Ruxi, Xiao Yu said, "Is Sister Gu Ruxi in the store?" Grandpa called him over just now. Chen Feng said: "I'm going to the store again." There is obviously a shopkeeper in the store, but in many cases, my mother always has to pull the letter over.

Gu Ruxi was tired enough just to be busy with the things inside. ”

Tong Zuo cried: "Gu Ruxi was transferred by a lot of grandfather's hands, does grandfather still trust Gu Ruxi the most?" Chen Feng said: "Gu Ruxi is also pitiful, and he even has to do things in the store." ”

Li Zuodao: "You have asked Gu Ruxi about the case in the kitchen, and it has been arranged." ”

Chen Feng still complained: "The guests are coming, how can Gu Ruxi not change her clothes." "He has a lot of mouths

Authentically, I went into the inner house.

Gu Ruxi is helping her grandfather Zhao Yijing keep accounts in the store. Zhao Yijing said: "Forty stones of Masudaya in Tokyo. Forty stones of Hirano House in Tokyo. All the best potatoes. According to today's market, a lot of total is how much.

Gu Ruxi said: "The price of potatoes has risen again today. He dialed the abacus: "It's all up to this price." Isn't that scary? ”

Zhao Yijing cried and said: "The world war has begun, and foreign countries have been exporting military supplies since the middle of last year, and the war has made the economy boom, and the price of potatoes has also risen vigorously. As a result of this, the price of potatoes has also risen. Isn't it ridiculous that a war will make the economy boom? ”

"Although it's so profitable now, there are not many things that will be lost a lot. Doing business is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and when business is good, it is necessary to seize the opportunity accurately. ”

Gu Ruxi calculated the accounts and wrote them down in the account book with a brush. At this time, Chen Feng poked his head in and said, "Mom, Teacher Lou Mu has arrived." ”

"Well, you're going to go over here."

Gu Ruxi said to Zhao Yijing: "You should also prepare dinner." He looked at the account book: "That's the total." "Well, I've worked hard." Zhao Yijing ran out. Gu Ruxi also packed up the account books. Chen Feng said: "Gu Ruxi, should I take advantage of this time to change my clothes." ”

Gu Ruxi was a little strange.

"Maybe you want me to entertain the guests.

Gu Ruxi cried: "You are just a Filipino maid, forgive you for not being able to obey your fate." He came to the kitchen and greeted Li Zuo and Xiaoyu, who were preparing the meal, "Hard work." ”

Li Zuo said: "Is this fish to be stewed?" ”

"Well, this is a fish for the guys. You will make the sashimi for the owner inside. Gu Ruxi instructed Xiaoyu again: "Shan Mou is making small miso soup, remember how to cut it." ”

"Hey."

At this time, Chen Feng ran in and said, "Gu Ruxi, grandpa told me to order tea for the guests." Gu Ruxi was silent. Chen Feng said again: "You come to make dinner." ”

Gu Ruxi hurriedly said: "How can this work, how can you let the young grandfather do such a thing." ”

"It's okay to do it once in a while. Now I don't have any classmates to take care of you. Gu Ruxi can even help with the case in the store, you are useless, you can't do that. But the kitchen can also be done. ”

"But."

Chen Feng cried: "I don't want to hurry up yet. Otherwise, grandpa will lose his temper. ”

"Yes. But you're not very good at ordering tea. As he spoke, Gu Ruxi was about to leave, and Chen Feng asked again: "Gu Ruxi, have I seen Rudai?" ”

"No, you were in the store just now. Isn't Miss Lulu at home? ”

I'm going to paint again? I really can't help it. Chen Feng's face faded.

There are many middle-aged couples sitting in Shinri, many of whom look like nouveau riche, and it is Slow Wood Sensei and Tai Xiao.

For example, in the construction of the tea ceremony etiquette for everyone to order tea, that, in many sides to take care of Gu Ruxi. Gu Ruxi's learning field Zhuang Wen is all in line with the etiquette of the tea ceremony, and the etiquette is thorough to serve tea to Sakura, the woman and Zhao Yijing.

To Mu Feidao, "Hey, you don't understand the tea ceremony, you can't understand these etiquette, but Teacher Gu Ruxi has done a good job." Mrs. Lou Mu also said: "That's it, grandpa is really good at transferring people."

The disciple cried: "It's really a prize, let's not care about any etiquette or not, please use tea casually." Madame Momu replied, "Hey." "But I couldn't help but be very nervous. Gu Ruxi silently waited with many people.

Teacher Momu said: "Grandpa loves Teacher Gu Ruxi as his own classmate in many ways. ”

She's been a sensible classmate since she was a child, and she's very pleasant, so you look at him differently. Zhao Yijing cried and was convinced: "This classmate is very smart and tenacious, he has followed you to do things for so many years, and he has never complained a lot." Write a lot of calculations, and the abacus is also good.

Is it better to keep accounts than the treasurer? If he has the heart to do business, he will soon be able to draw the trick of it, and you expect him to do a lot of it. ”

Listened admirably by the wooden couple. Zhao Yijing said again: "Now everything at home is under Gu Ruxi's control, he does a lot of cold hands, and he can even get his clothes faster, can he sew a lot of cotton jackets in two nights." ”

Gu Ruxi put away the tea bowl and said, "The tea art is not good, so you will cry." You're out of company. After finishing the road, he stood up quietly and calmly, and ran away in a small way.

Sakuragi and his wife watched Gu Ruxi leave, and Mrs. praised: "Hey, the behavior is so decent, is grandpa really well-educated." Teacher Sakuragi also said: "It seems that this girl has a gentle temperament, and this is the most important and small." Marrying a dog is really insulting to him. ”

What an impeccable girl? Grandpa, it's all up to me. Lady Sakuragi said repeatedly.

Teacher Neki said happily: "If Xingchen International can marry him as a classmate, then there will be many shortcomings." ”

Mrs. Manmu also said: "I don't know what it will be like for children to be happy." ”

Nazi said: "However, no matter what, the most important thing is to depend on his own mind." Since you are both selected, you can ask Gu Ruxi what she means. ”

"Or."

The son said, "It's on you." ”

Mr. and Mrs. Lou Mu politely bowed their heads in thanks.

In the state room, Gu Ruxi was busy pointing at Li Zuo and Xiaoyu a lot, and preparing dinner with his own hands, and Chen Feng was also busy.

Gu Ruxi said: "Young grandfather, you just do it." ”
