Xiao Xiao wanted to say that it was not delicious, but the aftertaste did not allow her to answer with a clear conscience.

She nodded.

Gu Huai: "Do you want to eat it all the time in the future?" ”

Xiao Xiao wanted to shake her head, but her movements were faster than thinking, and she nodded first.

Gu Huai: "I'll teach you to recognize a few herbs, you wait for the spring to begin, and then pick these things, you keep part of the money from the sale, and give me the rest." ”

Xiao Xiao thought of Gu Huai's ability to make money before, and nodded happily.

It's just a matter of recognizing herbs, and since he wants to recognize herbs, then he will definitely not sell himself in a short time.

Maybe Gu Huai just wanted to blame himself for not being serious enough and not suitable for continuing to stay in the Gu family by teaching himself to recognize herbs, and then achieve the goal of selling himself.

Very good!

He's not going to get away with it.

Her mother used to praise her, she is really talented in reading!

Xiao Xiao secretly made up her mind that she must let Gu Huai know what a big loss it was to sell her for ten yuan!

Gu Huai walked to the entrance of the village every day and bought a newspaper.

In the days when there were no televisions, newspapers were the only thing he could use to pass the time.

Huang Cuicui didn't stop him from buying newspapers.

She didn't know that Gu Huai spent a penny every day to sell newspapers, she only knew that using newspapers to make tables was a very high-end behavior - it seemed that their family was particularly cultured.

On this day, when Gu Huai was buying newspapers, he met Yuan Qi, who also came to buy newspapers.

Scholar Yuan Qi was already very familiar with Gu Huai, and he was a little surprised when he saw that Gu Huai also came to buy newspapers: "Didn't you say that you couldn't read?" ”

Gu Huai lied and lied very calmly: "I really don't know, I bought it for Xiao Xiao." ”

As he spoke, he swept through the newspaper and flipped through it at will.

Yuan Qi saw that he was flipping so fast, as if he was looking for something, or simply looking at the picture above, and felt relieved:

Sure enough, he didn't know how to read.

I thought too much about it.

Yuan Qi also asked the newsstand owner to bring him a newspaper.

Gu Huai had already finished reading the entire newspaper and was about to leave, but Yuan Qi stopped him:

"I'll go back with you and teach Xiao Xiao to write by the way."

These days, Yuan Qi has been running to Gu Huai's house, firstly, because it feels very good to be a teacher, and secondly, maybe he can run into Gu's house and start a fire to cook fish soup.

Thinking of this, thinking of the taste of fish soup, Yuan Qi swallowed his saliva.

His unpromising appearance was exposed in Gu Huai's eyes, and the latter thought of an idea and pointed to a submission address at the end of the newspaper:

"Yuan Qi, I think you are a Wenqu star, how can you miss such a good opportunity? You might as well try writing a novel in a newspaper and you might be able to achieve great things. ”

Yuan Qi was not interested in it at first, but it wasn't until Gu Huai said that he had a big achievement, and Yuan Qi raised his head: "What great achievements can a submission have?" ”

Gu Huai pretended to be surprised: "Don't you know? Nowadays, it is advocated to serialize novels in newspapers, and those who write these are called writers. ”

"The word writer, isn't it very much in line with your temperament?"

Yuan Qi thought, could there be anything more in line with him than these two words? These two words are simply tailor-made for him!

The two hit it off, and Yuan Qi didn't go to Gu Huai's house anymore, planning to go home and start fulfilling his dream of being a writer.

It's just that he was halfway down the road and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Didn't Gu Huai know how to read? How can you talk to him about the new content of the newspaper?

After thinking about it, there was a rather literary Xiao Xiao in his family, and Yuan Qi felt that it was not a particularly difficult thing for Gu Huai to recognize a few words.

He went home with peace of mind and boldness.

It's not that Gu Huai didn't think about writing books to earn manuscript fees, but writing books requires too much energy, and he doesn't have the time to do it. The current heroine Xiao Xiao is not yet an adult, so she is not suitable for this.

Therefore, he simply reminded the scholars who were almost thirty years old and were still pretentious to take this more pretentious path.

He felt that Yuan Qi's handwriting was not as good as Xiao Xiao's, but his handwriting looked very imaginative, which was very suitable for this profession that required imagination.

Before he could enter the house, he was bumped by the reckless Gu Xiaoliu.

Gu Xiaoliu was in pain, rubbing his nose, looking at Gu Huai with tears in his eyes, and suddenly felt that his younger brother seemed to have grown a lot taller recently, and he was faintly about to surpass himself!

It seems like he was half a head shorter than him a few months ago, right?

"Ah Gu, why don't you walk without looking at the road!"

Gu Xiaoliu, who felt that he had been surpassed, had a little more resentment and anger in his tone.

Gu Huai didn't speak.

It's clear that Gu Xiaoliu walks without looking at the road, and goes on a rampage, so it's to blame him?

Oh, do blame him, he should have made a few steps to make her fall to the threshold and drop those two teeth.

Gu Xiaoliu didn't dwell too much on this matter. She carried a lantern and squinted at Gu Huai:

"Brother, look at the lantern my father made for me!"

It is an orange lamp with small flowers carved on it, emitting a warm orange light.

It's small and chic, and it's cute.

But Gu Huai has never been particularly interested in beautiful or luxurious things. He smiled perfunctorily at Gu Xiaoliu, walked into the house, and saw Gu Zhongyi holding the bottom of a wine bottle in his hand, carving a lantern.

Hexagonal glass lamp.

Gu Huai remembered that there was a temple fair in the provincial capital recently, and if he could fool Gu Zhongyi into making a batch of lanterns and selling them there, it was estimated that he could make a lot of money.

It's just a question of how to hint at him going.

"Ah Gu, when Dad's lantern is ready, I'll give it to you to play."

Gu Huai's status in the Gu family is transcendent, and even the lanterns are different from the two sisters.

As for Xiao Xiao, Gu Zhongyi also made it for her, and the orange lamp with a small cyan peel was given to her.

Gu Huai looked at the lantern in his hand and opened his mouth: "I heard that there is a temple fair in the provincial capital recently, and a lantern like this will cost five cents." ”

Gu Zhongyi's hand trembled, and the carving knife shattered a small corner of glass. But he didn't care, he cared more about what Gu Huai just said: "You say, how much does it sell?" ”

Gu Huai: "Five cents." ”

Gu Zhongyi didn't care about the carved lantern, and lowered his voice: "It's really five cents?" Ah Gu, don't lie to your father with this kind of thing. ”

Gu Huai: "I just talked to the scholar, and he said that the newspaper wrote that there was a temple fair in the provincial capital a year ago, and there would be people selling beautiful lanterns, five cents each. But I thought that Dad, your lantern is the most beautiful in the world, so I quarreled with him. ”

Gu Zhongyi's heart was sweet and sour, he wiped his hand on his clothes and touched Gu Huai's ears: "It's still Ah Gu's most longing for Daddy, you wait for Daddy to take you to the provincial capital in a few days and buy you sugar gourds to eat." ”

When he said this, he had already decided to take Gu Huai to sell lanterns together.

But that night, his mind changed.

That night, there was a fierce quarrel in the Gu family, which caused many people to listen to the corner.

Gu Huai sat on the side and watched Huang Cuicui unilaterally scold Gu Zhongyi.
