Chapter 139: I Have a Family Heirloom (3/3)
Thinking about it, in the years before and after the birth of the eldest son, his life has not improved much, and he is still in the stage of comatose, and he has done his best to barely eat enough for the family, and his wife has not even drunk the old hen soup, and eating two eggs is considered to be the end of confinement;
This thing itself gave him a lot of stimulation, painful experience, when his daughter was born, his life has gradually improved, this time when his wife was confined again, there was an old hen stewed in the pot every three or five days, and his wife drank chicken soup to the point where she wanted to vomit when she smelled it, in this case, the milk was sufficient, nutritious, and she knew that her daughter was much happier than her brother when she first came to the world;
This is the biggest difference between the life experience of the eldest son and the second daughter, so there is so much difference in their martial arts qualifications......
Gu Shi felt that he had discovered a mystery.
He didn't dare to shout nonsense, he never felt that he was much smarter than others, so even if he made this discovery, he was just burying his head in his own little calculations.
He moved his family out of the shantytown, changed to a community guarded by the night watchman of the martial arts hall, worked harder, won the appreciation and even reliance of the owner, increased his income, and the shadow of his third child was gone, so he had begun to quietly make all kinds of preparations.
Since his wife became pregnant again, he used the knowledge he had heard in the chats of the warriors in the restaurant to go to the pharmacy and the shops in Beicheng District to find some tonic medicine that could not be sold at a good price because of the difference in quality or damage in appearance, and in the soup made by the old hen and wild mountain pigeon, even if his wife was tired of drinking, he had to change his tricks and feed her into her stomach.
After the birth of his youngest son, he also did his best to give the best for his mother and son.
He was immersed in the plan in his heart and threw himself into it.
Two years later, he found that he couldn't hold on.
Speaking of which, he is just an ordinary person working in a restaurant, even if the owner appreciates it and his income is higher than that of ordinary people, it is not that high.
Half of the eldest son eats the poor man, the eldest son's stomach is like a balloon blowing up, one person can withstand the two of them, the girl is slightly better as a girl, but the amount of food is basically the same as the two of them.
By the time he had spent all the cash he had saved for the project, he would earn enough to feed his family of five.
Therefore, after the youngest son is two years old, he listens to the food tonic and everything else, and ensures that there will be a hearty meat meal at home for three or five days at most.
And when the youngest son was four years old, he took out the secret method of strengthening the body that his father told him when he was a child and let the younger son toss.
Everything paid off.
At the beginning of this year, when he secretly took his young son, who had just turned six, to go for a check-up, the result was "on".
He is already very familiar with this set, the martial arts hall conducts a physical examination of all six-year-old children, and the final results will be divided into six levels: "upper", "upper", "middle upper", "middle", "lower", and "lower", only those who are found to have "upper" qualifications will be recruited exceptionally, and enter the martial arts hall for free to practice, and "up" is the best qualification in addition to this, and among all the registered hall disciples, they are also among the best and high-profile people.
Gu Shi never thought that one day there would be a pie on his head, so he never thought about the "Shang" qualification, and being able to get "Shang" has completely reached his heart, which means that as long as the youngest son is willing to work hard and does not need to pay additional resources at home, he can get ahead in the martial arts hall with his own ability.
But what made him anxious was that he couldn't pay the residency fee of 10,000 yuan at that time. Although with such an excellent qualification of his youngest son, as long as he opens his mouth to the owner, he will definitely pay for himself without saying a word, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not open his mouth.
At his age, he naturally knows what it means to open his mouth and take this money. He has been secretly tinkering for so many years, but it is not to train a thug subordinate for other people's families.
Fortunately, there is still a year of buffer time, as long as the child can enter the martial arts hall within this year, it will not be delayed too much.
He first pulled down an old face, and begged the owner to agree to take his eldest son into the restaurant to work, although he couldn't earn a salary, but it was good to take care of a meal, and the family began to return to the life of coarse tea, light rice, salted and pickled vegetables from this year, and did his best to save the extra money.
After half a year, although everyone secretly complained, as the head of the family, no one came to question him.
The first thing he did when he woke up every day, he began to secretly calculate in his heart, tightening his belt to the second half of the year, and barely able to save this expense.
Originally, he was ready to use this "death method" to save money, but two things that happened one after another last month suddenly caused waves in his heart.
After breakfast, Gu Shi got up and went to the bedroom to bring an old blanket with him, and was about to go to work in the restaurant.
But before leaving the room, he opened the secret compartment in the crack of the wall behind the wardrobe and took out a very special stone.
He played with it repeatedly, muttering, "Why hasn't there been any movement for so long, is this thing so inexplicably yellow?"
This is a stone with a bright red body like blood, the color is bright and bright, full and fresh, full of gorgeous blood red, without a little impurity, the square cylinder, the edges and corners are slightly arced, and the low end is engraved with mysterious handwriting.
This is the family heirloom left to him by the old man, and it is also the only thought related to him in the family since his death.
Gu Shi was born in the most turbulent years after the great changes in heaven and earth, not long after he was born, his parents and grandmother died in a disaster, the old man took him, the two grandchildren depended on each other, and when he was in his early tens, the old man finally couldn't stand it and died.
In the end, it was this stone that was handed over to him, saying that it was an heirloom that had been passed down in their Gu family for more than two hundred years, and he didn't care too much, now it is already a new era, something from the old era, what is the use of leaving a little thought.
The greatest significance of this stone to him is also the same, from the age of ten to the time before he got married, even he is surprised every time he thinks about it, he is so muddy and has not suffered any catastrophe to survive, now looking back, it is like another person's life.
is the only object called "Bloodstone Seal" by the old man, just like the bright red and bright when the old man handed it to him before his death, which made him sure that the person in his memory was himself.
But at this time, he deliberately took out this object to play with, not to remember the past, but for the two things that happened one after another last month, both puzzled and unwilling.
