Chapter 77: Asking for Money
But the original owner was an accident.
After all, Huang Cuicui treats this son as a baby bump, as long as Gu Huai cries, makes trouble, and hangs herself, she will immediately pick up everything.
Gu Huai doesn't do such tasteless things.
He usually opens his mouth directly: "Mom, ask for money!" ”
Huang Cuicui's eyes were about to pop out: "What do you want money for?" Are you going to spend money on Xiao Xiao? I knew that skinless thing......"
Gu Huai was impatient: "Mom, ask for money." ”
Huang Cuicui was immediately defeated: "How much?" ”
It is not the first time that the original owner has asked Huang Cuicui for money.
Gu Huai: "Two pieces." ”
Huang Cuicui's voice was an octave higher: "How much do you want?" Two pieces? Your dad only makes five dollars a month! Do you want two? ”
Gu Huai: "......"
He just said a number in passing, but he didn't expect Huang Cuicui to be so excited.
So he changed his words: "Five cents." ”
Huang Cuicui gritted her teeth: "There are no five cents!" I don't know who I'm learning every day, and I spend a lot of money! ”
Gu Huai: "Wumao, I'll pay you back two pieces next time." ”
Huang Cuicui laughed angrily.
Give her back two pieces? Does he know how to write two words?
As a son of a loser, he is used to it day by day!
Huang Cuicui was annoyed in her heart, touched a box under her pillow, took out a shiny iron key from her pocket, inserted it into the keyhole, unscrewed the box, put aside the oil and food stamps on her face, touched a few pennies and banknotes, and stuffed them into Gu Huai's hand:
"Give you a few more cents, don't ask me for money next time, I won't give a penny again!"
She said this every time, and every time she counted her as the fastest to pay.
Gu Huai didn't bother to complain about her, so he put the money in his pocket and was about to leave.
The coin slipped out of the hole in his pocket and rolled to the foot of the bed and disappeared.
Gu Huai: "......"
Huang Cuicui: "......"
Huang Cuicui scolded the loser while lying on the ground and picking out the coin, Gu Huai turned his head and left, deciding to finish the business first.
He gave all the money to Xiao Xiao:
"Now go buy pen and paper, and come back to write blessing characters and couplets."
As soon as he said this, Xiao Xiao knew what he was going to do.
She hesitated for a moment and didn't take the money: "We're just children, and people have written this." ”
There are gentlemen who write couplets in the village, and they must not be able to compete with others.
Gu Huai wasn't worried: "It's cheap and good-looking, you can buy it." ”
Xiao Xiao didn't dare to do it, she was afraid of being scolded. But she looked at Gu Huai's eyes and felt that if she didn't go, she might die faster, so she had to delay her step by step towards the shops outside the village.
There are no shops in the village, so paper and pencils can only be sold in shops outside the village. If it is a necessity such as rice grain, you need to purchase it with a ticket.
Xiao Xiao stood outside the store, saw the boss drying a sausage outside, swallowed his saliva silently, and then spoke:
"Boss, get me some red paper."
The boss casually pointed and told her to fetch it herself.
When Xiao Xiao was paying, he saw huge slanted glass jars on the counter, which were full of glass candy, and he felt more and more greedy.
It's almost the New Year, and the slightly richer people in the family will buy sugar, but the Gu family and the Xiao family don't belong to the category of people who can buy sugar.
This kind of luxury, you can only think about it in your head.
Xiao Xiao took the red paper and walked home, Gu Huai and Gu Xiaoliu didn't know where to get out, Gu Xiaoliu's dustpan was full of fish the size of a little thumb.
Xiao Xiao hurriedly took the dustpan: "Did you take it to chop it and feed it to the chickens?" ”
That's how the people in the village handle this fish. After all, such a small fish, full of spines, is not delicious at all.
Gu Xiaoliu immediately put the dustpan in his arms: "Ah Gu said, we will eat, and we will fry it when we have oil in the future, what kind of chopped chicken!" ”
Xiao Xiao looked at the lively fish and pursed his lips. She thought of the taste of yesterday's birds, and she was a little hungry.
A few people put the fish in the pot indiscriminately and boiled out a pot of milky soup.
This time, Huang Cuicui came looking for the taste, and didn't ask what was eaten, nor who did it, she first added a bowl and put it aside, leaving it for Gu Zhongyi to eat when he came back in the evening, and he also added a bowl and sat on the side and drank two sips.
Fresh! It's fresh and sweet, and although it's only a little salt, it tastes really good, and the most important thing is that it has a meaty taste!
Huang Cuicui narrowed her eyes, thinking that this idea must have been thought up by her so old.
Sure enough, her son was smart when he was young!
Gu Huai also felt that this bowl of soup was much better than yesterday's. At least it tastes good.
The biggest advantage of this place is probably that it is green and pollution-free, and the ingredients are the freshest and the most delicious.
Xiao Xiao was the last to do it. She looked at Huang Cuicui, a little nervous.
But Huang Cuicui didn't look at her, lowered her head and drank the soup, which made Xiao Xiao relax.
She hurriedly took a bowl and added a bowl, squatted in the corner and drank it silently, and when Gu Xiaowu and Gu Xiaoliu added a third bowl, she didn't add soup.
In the end, only a little bit of fish scraps remained at the bottom of the pot.
Originally, Gu Xiaoliu also wanted to take a bite, but before he could swallow it, he was pierced by a fish bone. In one bite, not only is it full of thorns, there is no meat, there is no taste, and there is no soup to taste.
So the little bit of fish scrap left was all cheaper, and the big yellow cat raised at home was cheaper.
Before leaving, Huang Cuicui said casually: "Why does Xiaoxiao drink a bowl?" It's too polite, just treat it as your own home. ”
Anyway, now that she has finished drinking, she symbolically cares, which can be regarded as caring.
Huang Cuicui thought to herself, Ah Gu was right, and she didn't lose anything.
Xiao Xiao had mixed feelings in his heart.
The first time she heard Huang Cuicui scolding without opening her mouth. She actually told herself to drink more soup?
Are you deaf? Or are you dreaming?
How could she tell herself to eat more?
So Xiao Xiao took the initiative to wash the dishes, and always felt that he was in a trance today.
Trance to trance, what Gu Huai asked her to do has to be done well.
Gu Huai asked Gu Xiaowu to help Xiao Xiao cut red paper, and asked Gu Xiaoliu to help too.
The reason is simple: it will be dark any later, and there is no money to light the lamp, so you have to finish it before dark.
Gu Xiaowu carefully cut the paper along the edge, for fear of breaking one piece. She heard Xiao Xiao say that these pieces of broken red paper cost a dime.
A dime!
How much can I buy with a dime?
This question Gu Xiaoliu is very clear --
You can buy three flatbreads with meat! Three! With meat! A pie bigger than your face!
When Gu Xiaoliu went to the town, he saw that the cake was stuffed with meat, and the meat was full of juice soaked in the cake.
Gu Xiaoliu hadn't eaten it, but it didn't prevent her from eating it in her dreams.
Gu Huai had no concept at all, but said: "You cut the square one first, write the blessing character, and then cut the long strip tomorrow and write the couplet." ”
Gu Xiaowu looked at the red paper and was heartbroken, money! It's all money!
Gu Xiaoliu looked at the red paper, salivating,! This can be swapped for!
Xiao Xiao was a little worried: "But I can only write, I don't know what to write." ”
