The shopkeeper of the restaurant was a black-hearted man, and he deducted half of his brother's salary, on the grounds that his brother was eating in the restaurant, and of course he had to deduct the meal money.

Naturally, there is nothing to say about deducting the food money, but his meal money is one hundred and fifty yuan, thirty days a month, and five yuan a day!

And the monthly salary of 300 Wen should have been added to a lunch!

What is the concept of Wuwen?

Last year's bumper harvest in the field led to a big increase in this year's harvest, and the price of rice shops has dropped.

Gu Huai'an's three meals a day only eat lunch in the restaurant, morning food and dinner are eaten at home, and the lunch at noon is usually eaten later because he is busy with work, and when he is busy, he is not hungry, and he can eat less than half a catty at most.

This five cents is still the price of the rice shop for takeaway after collecting the grain, you must know that when the rice shop buys grain from the villagers, it is two cents a catty.

According to the purchase price, their family can only earn five cents by selling three catties of rice!

Three catties of rice is enough for their family to eat for two days.

Now Gu Changning heard that this Cai Pozi could speak well, and he said with a clever mouth, lowered his eyes, and covered the unhappiness in his eyes.

It seems that this Cai Pozi is thinking about their family!

Yang Huiyun listened to her words, the smile on her face narrowed, and her expression faded a lot: "Thank you Sister Cai for your kindness, it's just that Gu Shan has always wanted An'er to be able to read and write, and in the future, he will gain fame and glory to his ancestors, this is his wish, and I naturally can't go against it." ”

"Oh, Changning mother, why are you so screwed, I didn't say that I wouldn't let him study, it's just that this time and that time, you have to plan for the future, right? I also kindly advise you, let Brother An take over this job first, and then it's not too late to continue reading when the family situation is better in the future. ”

Although Yang Huiyun has a soft and weak appearance, she will not be easily shaken once she has made up her mind, she saw that Mrs. Cai had a posture of never leaving if she didn't get her through, so she could only respond to the past by pretending to consider, "Let me think about it again, it's not a trivial matter, and I can't come up with an idea for a while, let me think about it for two days." ”

"Then you have to think clearly, don't make a confused decision, Changning, ......" Mrs. Cai changed the topic and directly called Gu Changning, who was listening carefully to the conversation on the side.

"Huh?" Gu Changning was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at her.

"You have to persuade your mother, don't let her be confused at a critical time, your family has three mouths waiting to eat, your mother has one more belly, and it will soon become four mouths, this belly filling is important, what is more important than this, don't you say?" Mrs. Cai said earnestly to Gu Changning, "In a few years, you will be older, it's time to talk about your mother-in-law's family, when the time comes, your family won't be able to get any dowry, and if you marry your husband's family, you will be despised, you are still young, you don't understand the importance of this matter, listen to what your aunt said." ”

"Oh." Gu Changning nodded innocently and responded obediently.

Seeing the performance of the two of them, Mrs. Cai felt that her purpose was half accomplished, so she immediately got up and left.

"Auntie, I'll send you." Seeing this, Gu Changning hurriedly straightened up and said.

People are "kind" to send news to their home, so she has to be pretentious and politely send people out of the house.

"No, no, no, my aunt still recognizes such a little way, then I'll go back, you guys think about what I said." Mrs. Cai said a few more words uneasily, then twisted her waist and left.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to look at this home, looking at the seven-bay house in the north house, and then looking at the front yard, she couldn't help but envy in her heart.

How well this house is built, it is bright and atmospheric, it would be nice if such a house were theirs.

This Gu Shan is really unlucky, such a good house, people say that it is gone, and it has not been lived for a few days, in the final analysis, it is still too thin to live in such a spacious house.

Mrs. Cai whispered in her heart and left the Gu family with a stomach full of sour water.

"A-Niang......" Gu Changning saw Mrs. Cai leaving, afraid that Yang Huiyun would really be moved by Mrs. Cai's words, so he hurriedly called her.

Yang Huiyun looked at her daughter's worried face, gently stroked her face, and smiled: "Don't worry, A-Niang knows it." ”

"Hmm." Knowing that A-Niang had no intention of letting her brother go home to work, Gu Changning nodded vigorously.

She thought, she probably knew why her brother gave up studying in her previous life.

Originally, she always felt strange, her grandfather was a showman, and A-Niang always hoped that her brother would participate in the imperial examination like her grandfather to gain fame, but why did she let her brother give up going to school not long after the news of her father's death came, and instead went to a restaurant to do odd jobs.

Now that she understands, Ah Niang thinks that the road to the imperial examination is too long, if her brother takes the exam for a few years, she doesn't know how to maintain her family's life, and the family will soon have to add an extra mouth to wait for dinner, so in the previous life, Mrs. Cai easily said that she was moved.

In this life, because she offered to let her brother continue to study at the dinner table, and Yang Huiyun did have this selfishness, she simply agreed.

Gu Changning couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he thought of this, in her previous life, she was a real eight year old, where could she see the twists and turns in this, her brother said that she would not study, and she would follow A-Niang and her brother's decision, and she didn't know what it meant at all.

Now that I understand it, my heart is sour.

Her aunt is so good to her brother, why did she suffer so much in her last life?

Thinking about it, she felt that it was because her family was too soft and kind, and she was guarding her in this life, so let all those charms and spirits get out!

***

"Aunt Cai came to find A-Niang in the afternoon, what's the matter?"

When making dinner, Gu Huai'an lit a fire, and suddenly asked his sister who was chopping vegetables on the side.

In the afternoon, he happened to go to the kitchen to see how the dough woke up, and suddenly heard someone outside the courtyard door shouting A-Niang's name, he went out to take a look, and opened the door for her when he saw that the person who came was Mrs. Cai.

He didn't hear what Cai Pozi said in the house, but he knew that Cai Pozi had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and he guessed in his heart that he should have something to say to A-Niang.

So when I got the opportunity, I asked.

"There's nothing wrong, she just said that she happened to be passing by, so she came to see A-Niang, nothing else." Gu Changning didn't want his brother to be distracted by this matter and affect his studies, so he omitted it lightly.

"Mrs. Cai came to see A-Niang?" Gu Huai'an's eyes widened and he said in surprise, "Is A-Niang very familiar with her?" We don't seem to have anything to do with each other, do we? ”

"yes, so you're not weird?" Gu Changning cleverly changed the topic and concealed Mrs. Cai's intention.

"It's a little."

"So, when these people see our orphans and widows, they think we are easy to bully, and everyone comes to the door, I am afraid that there will be only a lot more of this kind of thing in the future, brother, we must stand up, and we can't let others beat our family's idea again!"

"Hmm." Gu Huai'an nodded in response.

The brother and sister were busy with their own work, the kitchen was quiet, Gu Changning glanced at his brother secretly, and breathed a sigh of relief.

In that case, she suggested that there should be no problem with growing vegetables in winter, right?

Growing vegetables in the house in winter is not a trivial matter, and it is difficult for people who have not seen it with their own eyes to believe that vegetables can be grown in winter, and she has not yet figured out how to tell A-Niang, but if her brother agrees, this matter will be half the battle.

After all, it takes soil to grow vegetables and firewood to burn the kang, so it may be difficult for her to prepare it alone.

If her brother had done it with her, it would have been much easier!
