In the end, Gu Anning still couldn't resist the village chief as an elder, so she could only thank him and let him go.

"Village chief, it's not early, I'll go back first." Gu Anning, who had already taken the child, thought that she still had something to do, so she said goodbye to the village chief.

"Okay, if you have something to do, go back first." The village chief didn't do much to keep her.

As soon as Gu Anning walked out of the door, she saw Gu Qing walking in from outside.

Looking at Gu Anning, who walked out towards the door, Gu Qing stood up when she was in front of her.

"An Ning, leave so soon, don't you stay for a while?"

Gu Anning shook her head when she heard this, "No, Brother Gu, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”

"Okay, I'll see you off." Gu Qing's words were slightly disappointed.

"No need, I'll just go alone." Gu Anning refused.

Seeing that she refused her send-off, Gu Qing smiled mildly and nodded, "That's okay, An Ning, be careful on the road." ”

"Hmm." Gu Anning, who was holding the child, nodded, and then walked past him towards the door.

Walking on the road, there are already many villagers coming out to work at this point in time.

When she was about to return home, Gu Anning saw a figure carrying a large bundle of firewood in the distance walking in the direction of her side.

When this figure was getting closer and closer to her, Gu Anning could see who was the person bending over with firewood on her back.

It was a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in burlap clothes.

Moreover, the burlap clothes were very short, obviously not suitable for his height, and the clothes were marked with several patches.

Judging from his thin figure and sallow face, it was clear that he was an extremely malnourished child.

From this, you can see how miserable the little boy's family situation is.

Looking at the bundle of firewood on his back, which was bigger than his whole person, Gu Anning pondered for a moment, and then called out to him as he passed by him.

"Xiao Ming."

According to the memory of the original master in her mind, she knew that the boy in front of her was called Gu Xiaoming, so she called out his name.

Gu Xiaoming, who was walking with firewood on his back, lifted his face, which was red from carrying too much, to look at his sister who shouted in front of him.

He was a little cowardly, and his eyes didn't dare to meet her eyes, "Sister Anning, stop me, what's the matter?" ”

Looking at the little boy in front of him with some timidity, Gu Anning smiled softly and said in a very slow tone.

"Xiaoming, my sister's house happens to be short of firewood, can you sell the firewood you brought up the mountain to my sister's house in the future? A bundle of firewood the size of your back, my sister will give you six cents. ”

The bundle of firewood behind him was not very large, and it was the size of an adult with his hands around him.

With firewood of this size, the price is not very high, and it is only about three cents.

Carrying it to the town to sell like this is not only tiring, but the restaurant generally does not accept it. Because they are big restaurants, they usually have designated people to deliver firewood to the door.

Gu Anning's house happened to be short of firewood, so he also took the opportunity to help the boy from the same village in front of him. On the one hand, it also reduces the fatigue of carrying him to the town, and on the other hand, he can also go up the mountain to chop wood without the two sisters Qiuyue and Qiuling.

Gu Xiaoming, who was called out, was completely stunned when he heard her words, his eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.

Immediately, he raised his face, and a pair of bright eyes looked at Gu Anning with hope, "Sister Anning, is this true?" Can you really buy my firewood? ”

"Well, really, I'll buy as much as you send." Looking at his sparkling eyes with hope, Gu Anning, who was holding the child, nodded gently.

In her twenties, the boy in front of her was still a child in her eyes.

Hearing her confirmation, Gu Xiaoming was simply ecstatic, and he was extremely grateful to the sister in front of him.

"Thank you, sister, but sister, this bundle of firewood on my body is worth three yuan, you don't have to give me six yuan so much."

Although the little boy was happy in his heart, his character was sincere.

He knew that the sister in front of him wanted to help him, and he couldn't take advantage of his sister.

Seeing that he was so sincere, Gu Anning smiled and shook his head, "It's worth the price." Let's go, come with my sister, and my sister will take you to put down the firewood. ”

Gu Anning said, and then walked forward by herself.

Although she also wanted to help the little boy in front of her get firewood, she was holding a small bun that was already asleep, and she couldn't spare a hand to help carry it.

Gu Xiaoming held the firewood on his body, and then followed behind her.

Looking at the figure holding the child in front of him, Gu Xiaoming's eyes were full of hazy water.

There are very few people who are good to themselves and help themselves, and the father and mother in the family died early, leaving the grandmother to live with him.

Grandma, she loves herself very much, but she suffers from leg disease, and she can only walk around the house, and she can't do some heavy work.

For the sake of this family and his grandmother, he would cut several handfuls of firewood every day and carry it to the town to sell. After a day's hard work, you can only earn nine cents at most.

This nine cents is already very good for him, and if he bargains with the boss, he can buy two catties of brown rice.

Two catties of brown rice can be eaten for more than two days for him and his grandmother, but these are all saved.

In this regard, he also saved some copper plates, but these copper plates were used by the doctor to heal his grandmother's legs.

Grandma's leg has never been cured, and the family has no money left.

Just as he was thinking about it, a gentle and relaxing voice came from ahead.

"Alright, here we go."

Gu Anning took him directly to the firewood room next to the kitchen of the new mansion.

Her voice interrupted the boy's thoughts, and the boy nodded gracefully, and then walked into the firewood room with some firewood behind him.

When the boy put down the firewood neatly, Gu Anning took out six cents from the space by the blocking of his sleeve.

When he turned around, Gu Anning handed the copper plate in his hand to the boy.

The boy also subconsciously stretched out his hand, and Gu Anning also put six copper plates in his rough palm.

Looking at the six copper plates lying quietly in the palm of his hand, Gu Xiaoming looked at her gratefully, "Sister An Ning, thank you." ”

The boy in front of him made Gu Anning's heart soften a little.

"Alright, let's go home." Gu Anning stretched out a free hand and rubbed the top of the boy's rough hair.
