Gu Qing couldn't help laughing, she didn't know how to remember the phrase "communication basically depends on roaring", isn't it a true portrayal of the countryside in this era?

Because of the advance notice of the villagers, before Gu Qing and the four of them arrived at Yang's house, they saw the four people in front of them coming over, it was Gu Qing's uncle Yang Haishan's family.

Uncle Yang Haishan, aunt Li Shufen, and cousin Yang Shu and cousin star fruit.

Yang Haishan is forty-two years old this year, and the heavy farm work in the countryside makes him look several years older than his real age, and Li Shufen looks younger, but a sense of exhaustion can be seen on the face.

It's the eighteen-year-old cousin Yang Shu and the fifteen-year-old cousin star fruit, probably because the teenager doesn't know the taste of sorrow, and it looks a little youthful and flying.

"Auntie, uncle, Qingqing, little white ......" poplar and star fruit greeted each other.

Coupled with her previous life, Gu Qing hadn't seen her uncle's family for many years, and this time, the faces that had already become blurred in her heart suddenly became clear.

She was also busy greeting her uncle's family with Gu Bai.

The two families met and exchanged pleasantries, and then Yang Haishan greeted Gu Qing and the four of them: "It's cold outside, go and sit in the house." ”

The courtyard of the Yang family is about the same size as the Gu family, and the group entered the hall and sat down, Gu Guozhang put the things he was carrying on the table, Yang Haishan looked at it, and said with some displeasure: "You come here all year round, what else do you bring?" ”

It was Li Shufen, looking at the things that Gu Guozhang mentioned, and there was a little joy in her eyes.

Gu Qing took Li Shufen's expression in his eyes.

In her previous life, when she was a teenager, Gu Qing always felt that Li Shufen, her aunt, liked to be calculating, and she was particularly stingy, but she lived again and experienced so many things, Gu Qing was certainly not the young woman who didn't know the suffering of the world.

Yang Haishan's family is not having a good time, Yang Haishan and Li Shufen also rely on that little work to support their families, at most they can plant some land for themselves, and the two children in the family are just when they are growing up, they all say that they are half old and eat poor people, this is not for fun, the little work and rations they earn will be enough for their own food.

As for saving money......

There's basically nothing to save all year round.

Under such circumstances, if Li Shufen, a mother, is not careful in her calculations, it will be a big problem whether the two children can eat enough.

And Li Shufen's careful calculation, in the eyes of Gu Qing at the beginning, didn't she just like to be scheming and stingy?

In previous years, the Gu family brought ordinary New Year's gifts, and the number was not much, but this time, it was a lot of things brought over in large bags, and the amount would not be less when you saw it, for Li Shufen, this means that her two children can eat a few more days of full food, how can she not be happy?

Gu Guozhang put the things away, and then said with a smile: "Big brother, don't be polite to us, it's because you only come here once a year, so you have to bring more things for poplars and star fruit, right?" ”

Yang Xiuyun also said: "Big brother, sister-in-law, you're welcome, this is just a little heart for the two children, and it's not worth anything." ”

Hearing them say this, and then looking at the faint expectation in Li Shufen's eyes, Yang Haishan sighed secretly in his heart, which made Li Shufen accept the things.

Li Shufen carried the things into the house, and when she came out, the smile on her face seemed a little more sincere.

After sitting down again, the two families began to chat.

"Guozhang, the benefits of your furniture factory are very good this year?" Yang Haishan asked.

He didn't know what Gu Guozhang did alone when he came out of the furniture factory, thinking that Gu Guozhang and Yang Xiuyun brought so many things over this time, so he had such a question.

Gu Guozhang was ready to let Yang Shu be his apprentice, of course he would not hide Yang Haishan's matter, so he said: "Big brother, I don't work in the furniture factory now, I came out of the furniture factory in September, and now I sell furniture by myself, and the business is not bad." ”

Yang Haishan and Li Shufen were shocked.

Both of them felt that Gu Guozhang was coming to Hu, such a good job in a furniture factory, a month's salary plus bonuses and benefits, how could he have fifty or sixty yuan, and he even said that he would lose it!

However, looking at the smiles on Gu Guozhang and Yang Xiuyun's faces, and thinking about the big bags and small bags they brought this time, how could the two of them not know that after Gu Guozhang came out of the furniture factory, he would have earned more than when he was in the furniture factory, otherwise, they would not be so happy.

Thinking about this, Yang Haishan and Li Shufen both breathed a sigh of relief.

While the adults were chatting, Yang Shu and Carambola took Gu Qing and Gu Bai aside, Gu Bai took out a box of firecrackers and went outside to play with Yang Shu, Gu Qing and Carambola didn't want to set off firecrackers, so the two of them went into Carambola's room to talk.

Gu Qing still had a good impression of the cousin of star fruit, and when the two of them entered the house, Gu Qing looked inside the house.

The rooms of this era are very simple, and there is a bed in the room, a half-person high cabinet, plus a table, and there are spread out books and homework books on the table, which should be the winter vacation homework of star fruit.

Gu Qing then smiled: "Xiao Tao, have you finished your winter vacation homework?" ”

Star fruit is 14 years old this year, but she started school a little late, so she has just entered the first year of junior high school.

Star fruit originally had a smile on her face, but when she heard Gu Qing mention this, her smile suddenly disappeared, and she lowered her head and said, "Cousin Qingqing, it doesn't matter if you do your homework during this winter vacation......

Gu Qing's heart suddenly sudden.

She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she dropped out of junior high school before finishing it.

Could it be that the first year of junior high school went to school for a semester and then didn't go back to school?

Without waiting for Gu Qing to ask, star fruit took the initiative to speak: "The conditions at home are not good, my brother has already followed my parents to the ground, that's it, my school tuition and living expenses are also a big burden, my mother said, after a few years of school, I can read and write......"

Gu Qing furrowed his brows.

This year, the tuition fee for school is only a few yuan a semester at most, and the living expenses only need to carry rice and vegetables from home, even if it is a burden on the family, but this burden is definitely not heavy enough to require star fruit to drop out of school.

The star fruit person is smart, and when she saw Gu Qing's expression, she knew what she was thinking, and after a pause, she said: "It's not that my parents deliberately don't want me to go to school, but my father had a serious illness a few months ago, and he used up all the money in the family, not to mention, he borrowed a lot outside, and he hasn't paid it off yet......

In such a situation, it is really impossible to afford the cost of star fruit going to school, even if that cost is not much.
