Not long after eating, He Huilan left.

As soon as she left, Xu Li said; "Xiao Qi, this hot pot is really delicious today, why don't we continue to eat it at night? Dad and Zichen should also like it. ”

"Keep eating? Okay, it's just that there aren't many dishes, or we'll go buy some later, and just buy a pot suitable for eating hot pot. ”

Xu Li nodded again and again.

When Tuan Tuan fell asleep, Gu Qiulan put him on the sofa in the living room and covered him with a small quilt.

"Xiao Ran, Yaya, the two of you are studying at home, by the way, help me watch Tuan Tuan, and I will go out with my sister to buy vegetables."

"Okay, Little Seventh Sister, go ahead, I'll look at Tuan Tuan."

Yaya nodded very obediently, and Xiao Ran also nodded.

The two took their coats and went out, and as soon as they left, Xiao Ran stretched and moved his hand, which was a little stiff in writing.

"Yaya, take a break, aren't you tired of studying like this every day?"

"I'm not tired, I used to be at home, and I often did this, Sister Xiao Ran, if you are tired, take a rest."

The girl continued to look at the textbook without raising her head, and the pen in her hand was writing and drawing on the homework book that Gu Qiulan bought.

This is the homework assigned to her by Gu Qiulan, including mathematics and composition.

Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders, stood up, poured himself a glass of water, and walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Yaya, do you want to make money?"

"Huh? What does it mean to make money? ”

Yaya turned her head and asked suspiciously.

"A few days ago, I chatted with a few aunts in the neighborhood and said that there is a knitting factory not far from here, looking for temporary workers, as long as someone introduces them, they can go, and an aunt is willing to introduce me to the past."

"If you're willing to go over, I'll go talk to that aunt."

Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Yaya didn't speak.

Xiao Ran continued; "Temporary workers only need to work two or three hours a day, and they have five cents.

"And it's not every day, it's only about eight or nine days a month at most."

In those years, the factories were all state-owned units, and the official employees were all in the establishment, and their monthly salary was only more than 10 or 20 yuan.

Part-time workers are not included in the establishment, and most of the jobs they do are jobs that work hard and pay less.

Despite this, there are still many people who will pay attention, and this is not too strict to require the age, eleven or twelve years old can go.

You have calculated that you can get five cents a day, if you go for ten days, isn't it five dollars?

Five yuan, that's a lot in Shiwan Village.

If you can do this job yourself, then the money you get can be mailed to your family, which can also improve the situation at home.

After all, her brother is still young, and she loves him very much, and the money can also be exchanged for tickets with others, and then her brother can have delicious candy and wear new clothes.

The more she thought about it, the more moved her heart became, and Xiao Ran, who was on the side, saw this and said with a smile; "But you can't tell Sister Lan about this, let's just go quietly."

"Is this okay? Little Seventh Sister is at home all day. ”

"Of course, we can ask my aunt to help me go to the factory to talk about it, and we can go to work at night."

"At night?"

Yaya hesitated.

"Yes, I've observed it during this time, Sister Lan usually takes Tuan Tuan back to the house to sleep at about nine o'clock in the evening, we just need to go quietly after nine o'clock."

Originally, there were still some interested girls, and some didn't want to go.

"Can't you just tell Little Seventh Sister that you can't?"

"No, Sister Lan will definitely not agree."

Gu Qiulan also told them more than once that they don't need to think about anything else, just study hard, only when they have more knowledge can they have better development in the future.

If she had known that they had gone to work as temporary workers at night, she would have known the results without thinking about it, and she would definitely not agree.

Others say that if you are poor, you will think about change, but if you are too stable and too bored, you will think about change, and Xiao Ran is obviously the latter.

Her current life is too stable and boring, in order to make her study better, Gu Qiulan and Xu Li rarely let her help with housework.

In the end, under Xiao Ran's continuous persuasion, Yaya still agreed.

The two of them paid attention, and Xiao Ran got up directly and left the courtyard to find the aunt.

As soon as she returned to the courtyard, Gu Qiulan and Xu Li carried things into the house.

Yaya is still studying, and from time to time she will raise her head to look at the sofa, and watch Tuan Tuan wake up from time to time.

Seeing Gu Qiulan and the others coming back, she greeted her sweetly with a smile.

"Yaya, study should also be done in moderation, if you can't reach it quickly, you can relax your mood appropriately, and take Doudou to the courtyard to play."

"Well, I'll finish this question and rest."

Gu Qiulan smiled, walked to the sofa and sat down, and soon Yaya put away her textbooks, picked up Doudou and walked outside, and she stopped when she arrived at the door.

"Little Seventh Sister, I have something I want to tell you."

As soon as she said this, Xiao Ran, who had been pretending to be reading, suddenly raised her head and stared at her vaguely.

Gu Qiulan didn't notice Xiao Ran's initiative, but turned her head to look at Yaya and asked suspiciously; "What's the matter?"

"I..." Yaya was a little hesitant in her heart, she didn't want to lie to Gu Qiulan, but Xiao Ran's look made her not know what to say.

If you say it, it's okay for Gu Qiulan to agree, but if she doesn't agree, won't Sister Xiao Ran hate herself and feel that she betrayed her?

Seeing this, Gu Qiulan was also a little puzzled, stood up and walked over, bent over and held her little shoulders with both hands, and said gently; "What else can't I say with my sister? You say. ”

"I... I want to ask you for a candy ticket, and I want my brother's parents to try it too. ”

Yaya finally decided not to tell Gu Qiulan about going to be a temporary worker, and Xiao Ran, who was behind them, was deeply relieved when she heard this.

"That's it? No problem, sister, I'll get it for you now, and I'll find a military brother to help mail it back to Shiwan Village in a while. ”

Gu Qiulan smiled, it was nothing to her at all.

"Thank you, Little Seventh Sister."

"It's okay, it's okay, you go play, I'll get the ticket."

She went back to her room and took out a small box in the drawer, where you had a lot of great solidarity and a stack of tickets.

Soon she took out five big unity tickets, three catties of fruit candy tickets, and three egg tickets, one egg ticket can be exchanged for ten eggs.

She thought that her younger brother had only been born for a short time, and it was necessary to use more eggs to make up for it.

Then she had a few more miscellaneous tickets before she put the small box back in the drawer.

"Yaya, I'll go directly to someone to mail it back for you, and you'll play with Doudou here."

With that, she walked out of the courtyard and found the residence of the captain of the military squad who had been staying nearby to protect their family.

"Hello chief."

"Captain Hu, I have something I want to ask you for help."

Captain Hu is still a burly soldier in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a Chinese face, and his whole temperament looks very honest and honest.

"Chief, please instruct."

Gu Qiulan had long been accustomed to this, and she didn't feel as uncomfortable as before.

"I want to mail some things, but I don't have a cloth ticket at home for the time being, so I want to ask Captain Hu, do you have any cloth tickets here, and I will exchange them with you with other ones."

"Yes, I have a seven-foot cloth ticket here, is these enough, chief? If it's not enough, I'll ask the other comrades. ”

"Seven feet is enough, what ticket do you want?"

After changing the cloth ticket, Gu Qiulan wrote an address, handed over the things to be mailed to Captain Hu, and then turned around and left.
