At this time, after a few words, Lao Dried Fish finally noticed the change in his granddaughter's temperament, a little adult, innocent and naïve mixed with the maturity of business, reminiscent of the annoying distant cousin who served as the family steward. After a moment of astonishment, a sense of relief arose, even more so than when the second son got married, and even more so than when the third son earned copper coins more than half a year ago. Under the mixture of various emotions, coupled with the sluggishness caused by a little old age, it was not until the granddaughter repeated the problem of the boy next to her that she came back to her senses.

Although Lao Yugan tried his best to organize his thoughts, he still repeated the key points upside down, which is commonly known as chattering, which brought a lot of inconvenience to the recording work. But before a few dolls came to investigate, they probably had a certain amount of psychological preparation, and they went around with Miss Flashing Scales to complete various tasks in the name of internships, and even went to the gate of the big city in the south not long ago to block the door of the Mage Tower.

But as the saying goes, people are old and ghosts are old spirits, and the old dried fish is a little verbose in answering questions, but between the words, he found that his granddaughter and the stinky little ghost next to him seem to have some 'problems'. With this doubt in his heart, he didn't show half a point on his face, and it was inevitable that the answers to the questions between observation and pondering would become more and more off-topic, but he was also considered by the trio to be an elderly person with low energy, so he simply ended the conversation and thanked him.

That night, during the rest after dinner, Lao Yugan grabbed the gray bones of his second son who looked dazed, found an excuse to pull his granddaughter out of the doll pile, returned to the room and asked straight to the point: "What's the name of the little ghost next to you during the day?"

Broken scales were stunned, blinked his eyes a few times, his face was involuntarily slightly red, and he lowered his eyelids and bowed slightly, "Green worm." ”

This reaction made the old dried fish confirm the conjecture in his heart, but he frowned slightly. Of course, it's not because of early love, in this world where it's too easy for people to die, ordinary women as long as they 'bloom' means that they can give birth, and they will enter the age of marriage, and it is right to leave an heir before they die in a daze, so a doll around the age of ten is nothing to fall in love, after all, they will get married in a few years.

The reason why the old dried fish was slightly dissatisfied was that such a name obviously did not conform to the naming habits of the major families of the crocodile collar, but it was a black-haired and black-eyed person who was not a foreigner, so ninety percent of it might be a child from an inferior background, if it was a commoner who was reluctant, if it was a coolie, it would be difficult to do.

"What's going on in his house. ”

The precocious Broken Scale finally realized the core purpose of this conversation, and his face was so red that he wanted to leave, but he knew that this hurdle would have to be faced sooner or later. In the midst of the confusion in the brain, another voice warned that this question could not be answered positively.

First of all, I don't know, judging from the details of the weekday chat, Qingworm seems to try his best to avoid talking about family affairs, only knowing that his home is in Sardinia City, but this is not much information, and it also makes Broken Scale have a lot of inferences that are not optimistic, so he never asks more. The second is that no matter how good the background is, it may not satisfy the grandfather, the third uncle's situation can be corroborated from the side, the second ring is only, it has been delayed for so long, and according to the recent ring number measurement method, he has also broken through the second ring soon.

The more you fancy the younger generations, the more unwilling your own good cabbage makes the pig arch, which is also human nature. Broken scales can't understand it, but it can see one or two clearly, which can be regarded as a kind of precocious wisdom in emotional intelligence.

This silence made Lao Yugan's brows furrow even tighter, but because of his usual favor, he still didn't urge anything. And the inexplicable gray bones sandwiched between the grandfather and grandson next to him finally saw that something was wrong, stretched out his foot and gently touched his daughter's calf, and just wanted to open his mouth but was glared back by the old fish.

In a hurry, Broken Scale remembered two things, one was the various propaganda slogans that had been plastered all over the streets and alleys of Changteng Town recently, and the other was the plot and lines on the stage play performed by the drama troupe before the harvest celebration, which suddenly brightened up and said: "Grandpa, listen to me......

With this sentence as the opening sentence, with the limit of ten-year-old children's expression and memory, the love concept of self-struggle to create a better tomorrow as the core is barely expressed. However, it is a pity that the ability of the elderly to understand and accept these new things is already limited, coupled with prejudice, almost the left ear goes in and out of the right ear.

A set of things that are not bad for incitement, after two sieves of the mouth with broken scales and the ears of the old fish, the remaining dregs are useless.

“...... So, regardless of the origin of the green worm......"

"How much can you two little dolls make, how do you compare to your father and your mother combined?" The old fish didn't listen to much of the tall theory, but he grasped the core point of 'making money', although he had long heard his granddaughter mention that the school's labor class was paid, but he never cared, just thought it was just a few worthless banknotes, and at this time, it seemed to be very rich.

Thinking that there was a breakthrough, Broken Scale immediately became excited, sat closer, and explained: "Since the beginning of winter, all students in our school have reassigned the work content of labor classes according to their grades. For example, in our fire department, a few of the best people go to the ironworks, some of the worse go to the cement factory, and most of them go to the farm to ripen the pile of materials, and the salary is sixty percent of the normal magic workers. ”

Lao Yugan still heard a little about the amount of wages of magical workers in the ironworks and cement factories, and he was several times fatter than his stupid son's work of selling coolies, and his eyes lit up in an instant, and his mind digressed to the dowry of his stupid son's ashes.

"How many days can I earn a copper coin?"

"I'm in a cement factory, a copper coin for twenty days. "Broken Scales has calculated countless times in his heart, and he will come as soon as he opens his mouth.

"So long?" the old dried fish frowned again, this answer was obviously far from the goal in his heart. Rumor has it that a distant relative who worked in a cement factory made a few turns and earned three copper coins in two days.

Broken Scale continued to explain: "One copper coin for ten classes in the cement factory, one class in two days, which is already good. The farm is also a class every two days, but it is a copper coin for twenty-five classes, and it is dirty and smelly, and every time you come back from class, you have to wash your shoes, which is very troublesome. ”

As for the iron measuring factory, it is a copper coin for six classes, and there is no dust problem in the cement factory, but like all students, Broken Scale will not be stupid enough to introduce parents to the scholarships and other awards that the school gives to top students.

Lao Yugan hesitated for a moment and said, "Then what else is going to this school, go directly to the cement factory." ”

Broken scales were stunned, but he didn't expect his grandfather to say this, and in the absence of the concept of 'dropping out', not only was there no dissatisfaction in his heart, but he was opened to the mind and counted a small account. If you don't go to school and go to work in a cement factory like an adult, referring to the salaries of a few fire-based first-ring and second-ring magicians you know in labor class, with this money, the family will have a lot more food and clothing, and you can even let grandpa and third uncle taste what the magic addiction potion tastes like.

Lao Yugan coughed dryly twice, and brought the conversation back to the topic: "Let's not talk about this, wait until I ask someone who understands, and see if my family can find you a job in the cement factory." As for the green worm......"

Broken Scales also came back to his senses, and without waiting for his grandfather to say his conclusion, he hurriedly interrupted: "The green worm is a qi system, with top grades, taking labor classes in the best ironworks, you can earn a copper coin in six classes, and not only recognize a supervisor of the ironworks as a master, if you are the first in the final exam this year, you can also get magic plants." In short......"

"Okay, okay, grandpa got it. The old dried fish smiled kindly and touched his granddaughter's little head. Although he doesn't agree with his granddaughter's statement, the endless new things around him also remind him that it is better not to jump to conclusions, if it is missed like tea, it is really a pity. Find a few familiar people who understand and ask clearly, the granddaughter's marriage is at least three or four years away, and there is no hurry.

In this way, when the little ones were turning east and west in the No. 8 community, Lao Yugan also visited a few juniors in Shili Eight Village who seemed to him to be 'smart and knowledgeable', but did not get any satisfactory answers. or too busy to find a figure, or unsure of noncommittal, and one of them insisted on getting engaged with a dowry, and the old dried fish did not turn his face on the spot because of his previous feelings.

In desperation, after all, I could only find the family, this place that made the old dried fish entangled all his life. First go to the big river ten miles away to touch a fish, and then carry two bags of grain, to the newly built family castle on the edge of Changdo Town, after the Taoist came to the courtyard, he was quickly introduced into the compound, and in the small hall on the first floor of the castle to meet Narugu, who is dedicated to liaising with the peripheral members of the family.

can get this errand, the things on the face are naturally not bad, and Ming Gu greeted very warmly at the beginning: "Uncle Ten, you are a rare guest, sit down and drink tea first." Speaking of which, even if you don't come, in two days, I will have to visit your house because of the gray brother's business. When I was promoted to the third ring, no one knew, and it was over in a daze, and when I was promoted to the fourth ring this time, I had to celebrate. The twenty-seven-year-old Sihuan can't be compared with those big people, but it's also a rare character. ”

The old dried fish heard Ming Gu praise his stupid son, but he was happier than anything else, smiling so much that he couldn't even forget the opening sentence he came up with, and just stuffed two bags of grain and a fish into people's hands.

Naruto's smile stiffened for a moment, but he still accepted the gift in a series of thanks, and it looked as if he had received something extremely valuable.

In fact, it can't be said that this meeting gift is light, it's just that everything is changing too fast, if it was placed three or five years ago, under the same expression of Ming Gu, it would probably be nine points sincere, one point contrived. After all, they are all real relatives, and what kind of entrustment must be done, otherwise they won't be able to get along in this circle, and some income is compensation after all. After a few more greetings, he turned to the topic:

"May I also ask Uncle Ten, you always came this time to ......"

"I'll ask you a few things. ”

Narugu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and in his own vein, although this tenth uncle was not as troublesome as the second uncle, he was also a notoriously poor relative, although he didn't know why he had little contact with his family, but it was still a lucky thing to be able to send it away with a few answers. "Uncle Ten, if you ask, I will tell you if I know, and I will help you inquire if I don't know. ”

"That my granddaughter Broken Scales, you know?"

Naruto nodded immediately. This little girl's kinship is close enough, much more credible than those guys who have recruited him, the progress of the fire system is also very gratifying, and she is also very close to the eldest lady, and all these things add up, she is already a key observer in the family.

"Well, I want her to stop going to school and go to work in the factory, do you think there's any way?"

Ming Gu almost thought that he had heard it wrong, but after confirming that it was correct, his expression suddenly fell: "Uncle Ten, what are you......?" Isn't it good to go to school? Food and clothing, and you don't have to pay for it. ”

The entanglement with the family made Lao Yugan unable to say the reason of 'lack of money', but 'this and that' perfunctory and asked the result. However, this kind of performance has already made the vicious-eyed Ming Gu see the clues, and he groaned slightly, thinking back to the specific situation of the tenth uncle's family, and asked tentatively: "Is the matter of the gray bone brother settled?"

"Not really, but he's not too young, and this dowry should always be prepared. The old dried fish nodded, which was an indirect acknowledgment.

Ming Gu slapped his thigh, put on a distressed look to enhance his persuasiveness, and said: "Uncle Ten, you are confused, listen to your nephew's advice, this dowry money is not such a method, no matter how urgent you are, you can't delay the future of the broken scales." ”

Next, Minggu reasoned with the facts, said all the benefits of going to school, and the long-term and short-term interests were clearly distinguished, and patted his chest to ensure that if the dowry money was urgently needed, the family could put it on first. According to tradition, not only is there no interest, but there is no repayment period, but it is natural for the father to repay the debts of the son, and the debts of the brothers and brothers, and the accounts will not rot unless this vein is severed.

Although Lao Yugan extinguished the idea of letting his granddaughter 'drop out of school', he refused to borrow money from his family, shook his head and said the next question: "Let me inquire again, in their school, there is a doll named Green Worm or Gray Chong, how is this person? My granddaughter seems to be a little interested in him." ”

"What is this doll tied to?"

"The gas system. Seeing that the other party was still confused, the old dried fish said a few conditions that he still vaguely remembered.

"Is it called a green worm?" Naruto frowned, and finally remembered that there seemed to be such a doll.

The old dried fish rolled his eyes and nodded hesitantly.

"I'm a little impressed, wait for me to inquire. Don't bother you to get old, I'll go to your house when I have a letter. Naruto smiled and agreed.

The old dried fish thanked him again and again, and after some gossip, he said goodbye and left. When I went out of the door, the only thought was that the two bags of grain were lost, which was the price of letting the family get the granddaughter to work in the factory.

"I almost forgot to say that the girl's family with a water system doesn't want a dowry, but it's ......"

The old dried fish was suddenly overjoyed.

“...... It's the Gentiles. ”

The old fish blinked his eyes twice, and he couldn't laugh anymore. [.]
