248 Playing with mud
Pick up a good thing, Su Mo is about to leave.
"It's not early, I still have to go back to the village, and I'm bothering the shopkeeper to calculate, how much silver is needed for this?"
Shopkeeper Qiu glanced sideways at the guy, "Take the things down, remember to wrap them well." ”
Then he looked at Su Mo again, "Mrs. Gu, look, go down?"
Su Mo bowed slightly, stood up, and walked in front.
When a few people went down, the guy had already packed the things, "Go back to the shopkeeper, erase the change, a total of sixty-nine taels of silver." ”
This overseas stuff is expensive.
Li Shi gasped, Although her shop earns a lot, she is really reluctant to let her spend dozens of taels of silver to buy for her child at a time.
But Su Mo didn't think so, not that she didn't think the number was big because she had money, but that her attitude towards money was different from others.
Money is something that needs to be spent more or less, and it is worth it to buy this thing to make a few children happy.
Moreover, she doesn't spend money lavishly every day, and she doesn't necessarily spend dozens of taels once a year, so what's so distressing.
Su Mo directly found the system and asked him to put a silver ticket of one hundred taels into his purse.
Since the system can store things, Su Mo took out the money from the bank, and then put all his net worth in the system, and take it at any time, which is convenient and safe.
The silver and goods were in hand, and Su Mo took the things and said goodbye.
Li didn't follow, she stayed, and looked at the shopkeeper Qiu with a smile, "By the way, I have something I want to discuss with Steward Lin, I wonder when Steward Lin will have to come to Coastal County?"
Shopkeeper Qiu raised his eyebrows, thought about it in his heart, and said, "Steward Lin's whereabouts are uncertain, I really don't know when this will come to Coastal County."
Otherwise, when Steward Lin comes, I'll send someone to deliver a message to you, how about it? ”
Li bowed slightly, "Then it's troublesome for the shopkeeper." ”
Li said that, he also left the Treasure Pavilion, and the shopkeeper Qiu went back upstairs and ordered someone to prepare paper, inkstone, pen and ink.
After about a quarter of an hour, the back door of the Treasure Pavilion opened, and a fellow put a letter in his bosom and left through the back door.
Su Mo got into the ox cart at the last moment, It was the people of the Chen family who drove the cattle, a young man, Su Mo looked a little angry, nodded to say hello and then ignored it.
Swaying all the way, when the ox cart stopped at the entrance of the village, it had already fallen into the west mountain.
Su Mo got down from the ox cart first, took his things and walked towards the Gu family, but before he reached the door, he saw Gu Ping'an and his three brothers and sisters.
Gu Jinnian stood, Gu Ping'an and Gu Xingnian squatted on the ground, holding small wooden sticks on the ground and pulling on the ground, blocking the way of the ants.
Gu Jinnian's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Su Mo coming, he coughed lightly and reminded his brother and sister, "My mother is back." ”
Gu Ping'an and Gu Xingnian hurriedly threw away the small wooden stick in their hands, stood up, and after patting the dust off their hands indiscriminately, the girl ran towards Su Mo.
"Mother!"
The two children stopped in front of Su Mo, and their eyes swept over the things in her hands from time to time.
"Mother, can I get it for you?"
Su Mo sneered, and his sharp gaze fell on the dirty clothes of the two, "Playing with mud? ”
Gu Ping'an and Gu Xingnian's bodies stiffened, and a look of weakness appeared on their faces.
Gu Ping'an's eyes fluttered, scratching his head and smirking, "Hehe... I just played for a while..."
Gu Xingnian blinked, staring at Su Mo aggrievedly, "My mother didn't come back, Xingnian was so bored, so I played with my brother..."
Su Mo nodded Gu Xingnian's forehead angrily, and then looked at Gu Ping'an, "Mother said to let you take your sister, that's how you brought it?"
Check your homework tonight, and if you don't pass it, huh! ”
The look on Gu Ping'an's face froze, and then a bitter expression.
Woo woo, I knew I wouldn't play, he didn't read today...
Gu Xingnian saw that his brother was unlucky, his eyes rolled and he showed a gloating smile.
Su Mo immediately looked over, "Don't be complacent, tomorrow the time for learning girl red will be extended by two quarters of an hour." ”
Gu Xingnian: "......"
Woo woo, she was wrong, is it too late to change now?
The two brothers and sisters had bitter faces and walked behind Su Mo, like wilted eggplants.
Gu Jinnian raised his eyebrows, he was very satisfied with the punishment of his brother and sister, they were indeed too idle, otherwise how could they do such a childish thing as blocking the way of ants.
After dinner, Gu Ping'an looked like he was going to die, and walked into the study with his chest held high.
Su Mo: "......"
She shook her head helplessly, and walked behind and followed.
Gu Ping'an really has no talent in reading, Su Mo has already asked Gu Jinnian, and in the news provided by Gu Jinnian, if he relaxes a little, Gu Ping'an stumbles and passes.
Su Mo's face was really unbearable, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, wondering if she was still not strict enough.
But she looked at Gu Ping'an, and saw that he hung his head, twisted his fingers, and looked nervous, so she still sighed.
Maybe there is no talent without talent, it is enough to be able to read and not be fooled by people in letters.
As for the heart and eyes, this doesn't mean that you can practice it, and you have to let him suffer some hardships by himself in order to really grow.
Su Mo made up his mind, and his tone softened a little, "Good performance, go out, I have to get up early tomorrow to practice martial arts, and go to bed early tonight." ”
Gu Ping'an raised his head incredulously, then with a smile on his face, he ran over and hugged Su Mo and kissed her on the face.
"Thank you, mother."
Gu Ping'an regretted it after kissing him, the last time he kissed his mother, it was still very young.
And now that he has grown up, Gu Ping'an thought, his earlobes instantly turned red, let go of his hand, and ran out quickly.
Su Mo sat on the chair in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.
"Stinky boy, I shouldn't have let you go."
She wiped her face in disgust, but a smile twinked at the corner of her mouth.
Gu Jinnian stood in front of the window of the study and looked at Su Mo, pursed his thin lips lightly, and then left silently and entered Gu Ping'an's room.
I don't know what he said to Gu Ping'an, but when he came out, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was obviously in a good mood.
The next morning, when Su Mo got up, Gu Ping'an and the others had already returned from outside.
She took out the telescope she bought yesterday and gave it to the two brothers, "This is said to be an overseas import, called clairmiles, I think you two brothers must like it, so I bought one for each of you and took it to play." ”
Gu Ping'an's eyes lit up, and he looked at it curiously, "Mother, how are you playing with this?" ”
"The small end is placed in front of the eye and looks into the distance."
Su Mo was in a good mood, smiled and handed the other one to Gu Jinnian and taught them how to use it.
Gu Ping'an hurriedly tried it, and then let out an exclamatory sound, "I saw a bird's nest on the tree over there." ”
He put down the binoculars, got carried away with joy, looked at Gu Jinnian and said, "Second brother, let's go dig out the bird's nest, shall we?" ”
Su Mo: "......"
Gu Jinnian: "......"
There was a moment of silence in the room, Gu Ping'an came back to his senses, remembering that Su Mo was still on the side, he shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak again.
Su Mo glared at him angrily.
Gu Jinnian also picked up the telescope and looked into the distance, only to see that the scene in the distance seemed to be magnified.
The expression on his face remained unchanged, but his heart was already shocked by this so-called "clairvoyant".
