"Yanyang, this is not a trivial matter, you go back first, and I will discuss it with your Aunt Mu."

Mu Yaojun saw that Chen Rui was standing there in a daze and did not react, so he hurriedly asked Gu Yanyang to go back first, and when he saw Gu Yanyang walking away, he turned around and pushed Chen Rui:

"What's wrong? What are you thinking? When your child talks to you, you don't respond. ”

Chen Rui came back to her senses, spread out her palms, looked at the twenty yuan that Gu Yanyang had just handed her, and asked with some sadness:

"Do you know where you got all this money?"

Mu Yaojun shook his head: "I don't often stay at home, I work outside all day, how can I know where Yanyang's money comes from." ”

Hearing this, Chen Rui sighed deeply and said slowly: "This money is earned by Yanyang, who got up every day before dawn to go to the market to make a breakfast stall. ”

When Mu Yaojun heard this, he immediately frowned and blamed:

"If you come out at four o'clock in the morning, then this child still has to go to school during the day, and can he rest at night? You know she's doing this, why don't you stop it? ”

"Eh, I was careless"

Chen Rui lowered her eyes, her voice was faint, and a touch of self-blame crossed her eyes:

"I knew about it at first, but I didn't care, I just thought it was Yanyang, the child was young, and I felt fresh when I saw adults making money, you think, isn't it the same when our family Jinjin was a child, shouting all day long to make money, but I didn't expect that her child was serious."

"What are you going to do about the sewing machine?"

Mu Yaojun turned his head to look at Chen Rui, Chen Rui frowned, was silent for a moment, and then spoke:

"I don't know what this kid wants to buy for, if it's in a hurry, it's estimated that it will be very slow, if it will draw lots to get the first place, if it gets the last place, won't it have to wait for nearly a year?"

"Hmm" Mu Yaojun nodded: "That's right, and for the next few months, you have to pay money every month, this kid always gets up before dawn, which is not good for his health." ”

"What's more, we have two more children in our family now, and the clothes that Jinjin wore have raw cuffs and can't be worn, so I really have to install a sewing machine, I'll buy it tomorrow."

After Chen Rui finished speaking, he reached out and took out one hundred and thirty yuan from his other pocket, holding it tightly, Mu Yaojun was stunned for a moment: "Where did you get so much money?" ”

"I saved it from the last time I sold the piglets." Before Chen Rui finished speaking, Mu Yaojun immediately said dissatisfied: "Then when I said I wanted to buy wine, you told me that I didn't have any money?" ”

"Do you remember being a person who was recently discharged from the hospital? You still want to drink, and if I hadn't told you that you had no money, you wouldn't have to drink yourself to the hospital again? ”

Chen Rui said, rolling her eyes at him fiercely: "When you were young, I thought you were quite strict with yourself, how did you become like this when you got old!" ”

“…… When I was young, I couldn't drink as a soldier, and now I can't drink to regulate my body and mind at such an old age? Mu Yaojun's face was full of displeasure, and finally raised his eyes and asked, "So, you want to use this money to buy a sewing machine for Yanyang?" ”

“…… Hmm" Chen Rui nodded, the hand holding the one hundred and thirty yuan tightened slightly, Mu Yaojun pursed his lips, took out a dry tobacco bag from his pocket, rolled a dry tobacco and held it in his mouth:

"This money is trying to save for Jin Jin and Mu Chen, right? You usually have to add something yourself, don't spend it if you are not willing to do it, I will advance a month's salary, plus the thirty in your hand, Yanyang's money you collect for her, the money for the sewing machine is enough. ”

"No" Chen Rui shook his head: "It's not easy for you to make money, I will use it first if I have money here"

"Hmm."

Mu Yaojun looked at Chen Rui for a long time, nodded, he looked around at no one, and reached out to wrap around Chen Rui's waist from behind:

"It's really hard for you, I originally thought that Mu Chen went to national defense, and you could be a little easier, but as a result... I didn't expect that..."

"I'm not working hard at all." Chen Rui turned around and hugged Mu Yaojun's waist and put her chin on his shoulder: "Yanyang, her child is not good, there is no old man in the Gu family, and my parents are not in pain, and now there is a little poor little flower, I think the child feels good by his side, otherwise Mu Chen is gone, and our family is so deserted, I will not be able to adapt to it." I'll go buy her a sewing machine early tomorrow morning, and then if Yeonyang asks, you say it's to participate in the fight, and if she really gives the money every month, I'll help save it. ”

Chen Rui let go of his hand as he spoke, lowered his head and stood by the pot to cover the meal:

"Although this child has always been close to our family, but we are not her parents after all, if she knows that the sewing machine is not a fighter, but a money to buy, she will definitely feel uncomfortable. When the time comes, it will not be good for her to have the idea that she owes us, a child, don't put too much pressure on her. ”

"I know, I understand" Mu Yaojun nodded, looking at the calendar hanging on the kitchen wall: "It's July, and it looks like there will be more than half a year before Mu Chen can come back." ”

"Well, it's coming, just wait for the New Year."

Chen Rui raised her head, stretched out her hand and stroked the calendar hanging on it, and a lonely expression crossed her face.

……

At noon the next day, since it was Saturday and Sunday, Gu Yanyang got up early in the morning to make tofu brains, prepared most of the cold skin, and red bean paste, and prepared to go to the market to set up a breakfast stall.

When Mu Jinjin and Xiaohua'er got up with a sigh, Gu Yanyang had already prepared things and was ready to leave, Mu Jinjin opened his hazy sleepy eyes, and when he saw Gu Yanyang's back preparing to go out, he hurriedly rubbed his eyes and chased out in slippers:

"Eh! Gu Yanyang! Wait a minute, I'll do it! I'll go too! ”

Gu Yanyang turned her head, paused in her footsteps, and stood in the courtyard waiting for her, Mu Jinjin hurriedly turned around and went back to change clothes, and when she came out, she was still holding a small flower in her hand.

The two of them took the things Gu Yanyang was holding together, and walked out of the house in a daze.

"Why do you two have to come along, aren't you sleepy?"

Gu Yanyang shook his head helplessly, and Mu Jinjin yawned: "Sleepy, but you are too tired alone, if the two of us are here, you can hurry up"

"I have more fried fritters and fried cakes in my stall, and now I still sell tofu brains and cold skin, so I really need help."

"I'll come with you to sell breakfast in the future! Sister Yanyang" Xiaohua'er raised her head and looked at Gu Yanyang: "Then after selling breakfast, let's go to school together"

"You two are in pairs, so what should I do?" Mu Jinjin looked at these two people pitifully, Gu Yanyang couldn't help but chuckle when she looked at her appearance, and couldn't help but reach out and ravage Xiaohua'er's head, and announced to these two people: "Actually, I don't need to help, because I plan to stop doing breakfast stall business soon." ”
