Chapter 63: Don't dare to take the money
"Dad, I want to grow all these fields in the backyard, what do you think?"
Seeing that Father Gu didn't answer for a long time, Gu Pan asked again.
The house they rented was ten dollars a month.
Because there is a faΓ§ade in the front, plus four bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom in the back, in addition to a small courtyard in the atrium, a backyard can be used as a vegetable garden.
It's hard to get out of such a house on South Street, so they picked up the leak.
Although ten yuan a month is a small price for their family, in terms of food and housing, as long as there are conditions, Father Gu will never treat them badly.
It's been more than a month since I moved to South Street, and the inside and outside of the house have been cleaned up properly, and even the backyard has been reclaimed by the diligent Gu Father A small area to grow vegetables.
And now what Gu Pan is talking about is turning out all the remaining vacant land and replanting vegetables.
"You decide for yourself, just Panpan, you said that you met Xu Chenghuan when you were selling vegetables, and then rented a stall with his help? So how is this rent calculated? Where did you get the money to pay? It won't ......"
"No, Dad, I paid this rent myself, and I didn't use a penny from the Xu family, just because I owe Xu Chenghuan a favor because of this matter."
Gu Pan naturally knew what his father wanted to say later, and hurriedly explained.
She understands Gu's father's worries.
North Street is different from South Street, if you only rent an ordinary store on South Street, it will cost you five or six yuan a month, but on North Street, you can't take it at all if you don't have twenty or thirty, and like the kind of small stall Gu Pan said, even if Gu's father doesn't know the market, it will be at least five or six yuan a month, which will not be less than an ordinary store on South Street.
Just like Gu Pan sells vegetables in the morning and earns two or three yuan, if it is on South Street, it is more than three yuan a day.
"And how did you decide on this money? How much is a stall? Is there enough money? β
Father Gu's brows were squeezed together.
According to him, although the family's income is less, the province can still live this life, and there is no need for his daughter in the palm of his hand to go out and show up.
But Gu Pan has been screwed since he was a child, and no one can stop him from making up his mind.
Now that he looked at Gu Pan's determined appearance, the only thing he could do was support.
It's just North Street, in the end, it's still a little farther away, and it's a vegetable seller, and she has to get up early and be greedy for darkness every day, she is a little girl......
"Dad, you don't have to worry about money, me, didn't you just say it? A windfall was made today. β
Gu Pan said and took out five yuan from his pocket.
It's not that she doesn't want to tell her family about the money she really got today, it's that it's too much.
If she really said it, I was afraid that her father would go directly to North Street with the money, and look for Lu Xun all over the street to return the money.
At that time, as long as no one is found for a day, I am afraid that this matter will be a heavy stone that has been pressed on my father's heart.
She was reluctant to return the money and her father was reluctant to worry about it, so she only took out a part of it, pretending to be a deposit for the old man and Lu Xun to order food with them in advance......
After all, according to my memory, my father's body was always sick because of the deficit in his early years, whenever there was a change of seasons or when the climate changed greatly.
And if she has this money in her hands, at least she still has some bottom in her heart.
She couldn't and didn't dare to take any one of her family's people as a bet, so she knew that she shouldn't take the money, but she still accepted it!
"What windfall? Panpan, didn't I tell you since I was a child that you can't take anything that doesn't belong to us? β
Father Gu not only didn't have a trace of happiness when he heard Gu Pan's words, but his face sank even more.
"Dad, of course I haven't forgotten what you said, this money is a deposit given by others to see our family's dishes."
Seeing that Gu's father's face sank, Gu Pan hurriedly explained.
"Deposit? Panpan, you are too bold, how many dishes are there in the backyard in your heart? Just order enough food for you to sell for a few days, and you dare to take a deposit? What if you don't have food for someone else? From childhood to adulthood, I have told you that the first thing about the three sisters and brothers is to be honest, if you can't deliver the goods and lose your integrity, how will you do business in the future? β
Father Gu listened to Gu Pan's words, not only did he not ease his expression, but his face became even more grim.
"Dad, of course I will accept it after thinking about it, although I used to do a lot of stupid things, but now that I am sober, I am not stupid, I want to sell vegetables for a short period of time, how can I cut off my own back road?"
Gu Pan knew that his father was worried about her, so he hurriedly stepped forward to accompany him on his back and gave him a smooth air.
"Tell me, how much deposit did you take? How many days does it take to deliver? How much do you get a day? β
At this point, Gu Pan's money has been collected, and Gu's father can't say anything more.
At the beginning, he also planned to let Gu Pan toss the backyard by himself, so that she could understand that growing vegetables was not easy, and he didn't care what she did.
But now that Gu Pan has even received the deposit, it is simply difficult to ride a tiger, where can he let her take care of herself? I can only help figure out a way.
As far as he visually observed, these vegetables in the backyard would be sold for ten days and half a month at most, and the shortest cycle for replanting a crop of vegetables would take more than a month, and there would be more than 20 days in between......
"I charged fifteen yuan, according to the vegetable price of five cents a day, even if it is thirty days, it just so happens that the stall I rented is also a month, but I took ten yuan to call the stall fee, and now there are five yuan left, Dad, do you want to help me collect it?" I'm afraid that if I keep it in my hands, I'll be gone. "Gu Pan sells good ways.
She asked Yuling to count in the space, and Lu Xun gave her a total of five hundred and sixty yuan, and in addition to fifty-five pieces of unity, he also gave ten yuan in change.
went out to give Zhang Dasheng twelve yuan, and Lu Xun gave the money and left five hundred and forty-eight, she originally planned to take out eight yuan, but after thinking about it, she still only took out five yuan.
"So much? Panpan, let me ask you, do you know how long it takes to plant a crop of vegetables? β
Father Gu didn't look at the money on the table, but said in a deep voice.
Xu is father Gu's expression was too serious, and even Gu Yan and Gu Hui's joy when they first saw the five yuan was gone, leaving only the uneasiness of staring at his father and sister.
"Even the most common vegetables can only be eaten for about a month."
If Gu Pan didn't understand these things before, but in the three years in prison, she was forced to work, how could she not understand?
She also knew what Gu's father was worried about, but she had space, and it didn't take one night to grow vegetables in the space, but she couldn't tell her father about this, so she could only answer her father's questions in a low voice.
"Okay, it seems that you know, then let me ask you, how many days will this order of food in our backyard be enough for you to sell?"
"Fifteen days at most." Gu Pan replied in a low voice, this was indeed something she didn't think through.
"Then how do you solve the problem of having vegetables to sell in the fifteen days before the next crop of vegetables comes out?"
