Chapter 87: Don't want money
Xiao Xiao's face turned red.
If Gu's daughter-in-law used other words to tease her, she might not be so embarrassed, but she couldn't refute this sentence.
Even if Huang Cuicui treats her badly, she often scolds her, but she also gives her a bite to eat.
There are so many people in the village, why don't you see anyone else willing to adopt you?
Xiao Xiao understood this truth again, so he never thought of running away from the Gu family.
Because running is only a dead end.
Xiao Xiao secretly glanced at Huang Cuicui, a little worried.
She doesn't think she's a girl and throws herself away, right?
Huang Cuicui didn't look at her, but suddenly pulled out Gu Huai, who was watching the play on the side: "Tell your aunt, will you be better than her Gu Xian in the future!" ”
Although Gu Huai sealed his hearing, he had eyes and could see what Huang Cuicui said.
It's not about ridiculing each other anymore, it's about fighting.
During the Chinese New Year, if there is a quarrel, the dish should be cold.
So he said, "I'll go to university." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.
After a moment, everyone leaned back and forth laughing.
Especially the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family: "Do you know, don't talk about our village, even if you go over a few mountains, there is no one who can be admitted to the university."
Do you know Yuan Qi? He's a high school student, and he's already the most educated of all of us. ”
Gu Huai ignored her and repeated again: "I will go to college." ”
Huang Cuicui also smiled, Gu couldn't quarrel with Gu's daughter-in-law, and touched Gu Huai's head:
"Yes, yes, our Ah Gu is the most promising."
Six dollars a semester, and it was useless to finish reading, so a fool sent him to study.
It's better to get a serious errand, or simply follow to herd sheep, marry a wife and have a baby, and this life can be regarded as complete.
Huang Cuicui thought of this and couldn't help the smile on the corner of her mouth.
In the eyes of everyone, this is nothing more than childish words.
Gu's eldest daughter-in-law wrapped a red envelope for each of the children, and ate with Huang Cuicui while arguing.
The dinner table was very lively.
In addition to Gu Zhongyi and his family, Gu's eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to three sons and two daughters, of which the eldest son has already married and has a baby, the second son is about to get married, and the younger son is still young, chasing Gu Xiaoliu.
The two daughters were quiet and watched a few people fight.
For a while, the children who caught the hide and seek were drilling under the table, and the adults who were competing were spitting everywhere.
Gu Huai didn't join them, he ate quickly, and when they were still arguing, he had already finished eating and got off the table and went to find Gu Xian.
Gu Xian didn't eat with them.
Her daughter-in-law and the child went to the table to eat, and Gu Xian said that he was in a hurry, and turned around and went to his own carpentry room.
Pushing open his door, there was a thick layer of sawdust on the ground, Gu Huai stood outside, didn't rush in, and knocked on the door.
Dust fell from the door.
"Who!"
Gu Xian was very impatient.
He had a carving knife in his hand, and his head was not raised.
Gu Huai: "Me." ”
Gu Xian raised his head slightly, glanced at Gu Huai with slanted eyes, and asked after a while, "Who are you?" ”
He is face blind, does not recognize his brother, and may have a bit of social phobia.
So every time there is a party, he basically does not appear in front of everyone.
"I, Gu Huai."
Gu Huai pulled out a stool and sat in front of him very familiarly: "Brother, I heard that you are very good at carpentry." ”
Gu Xian lowered his head and only let out a soft 'um'.
Although he doesn't like to talk to people, no one hates compliments.
Gu Huai dragged the stool forward: "Brother, I've always wanted a wood-carved plum blossom potted plant, you can make it for me, okay." ”
Gu Xian's face flushed slightly, and he didn't speak.
Gu Huai waited patiently, and Gu Xian said, "What do you want?" ”
Gu Huai stretched out his hand and gestured: "I want one that is so big, about this wide, and the kind of plum blossom, brother, I won't give you the money for nothing, I will give you all the New Year's money." ”
As he spoke, he took out two yuan for Gu Xian.
Gu Xian looked at the table of gross tickets and was slightly surprised.
How much can I buy for two dollars?
This brother is a little too profligate.
Gu Xian frowned, and just wanted to say no, but saw Gu Huai digging out his pocket again: "Brother, do you think it is less, I'll look for it again." ”
Gu Xian: "Enough is enough, I'll do it for you, no money." ”
Gu Huai didn't expect Gu Xian to be funny.
"I'm going to finish all the work at hand and then I'll do it for you, what do you want to go back and think about yourself, and I'll think about it for you."
Gu Huai had already thought about it.
Of course he wants to make money.
At this time, the economy is picking up, and many enterprises are about to sprout.
Enterprises will have to win a good fortune when they open up, hoping that their company can make money and last for a long time.
The plum blossom potted plant is only the first step, what Gu Huai really wants Gu Xian to do is Pixiu.
Pixiu is a symbol of fortune and treasure, if Gu Xian can do a good job, he can sell it at a high price.
Of course, it wasn't him who sold it, it was Xiao Xiao who sold it.
As the heroine, she is more Pixiu than Pixiu, she goes to sell things, she can definitely get a high price, and she saves herself her brains.
However, when Gu Huai walked in, he glanced at the carvings in the room a few times.
It's good-looking, but it's only like it, it's too sluggish, the patterns are very rigid, and it looks exactly the same.
Such works have no temperature and are not likable.
I still have to cultivate him, let him start practicing with plants first, and then slowly turn to other directions.
Gu Xian didn't know that his cousin had so many thoughts, he only saw Gu Huai sitting there quietly watching him carve, and his heart was a little warm.
At first, the family didn't want him to learn carpentry, but hoped that he could take over his father's class and be an honest worker.
I don't like it.
He just wanted to be a carpenter and spend his days quietly with the wood.
Later, when he made money, everyone thought that carpentry was a good job and a job that could earn money to support his family.
Gu Huai watched him bow his head and do things, thinking of the description of Gu Xian in the original book - a simple and unpretentious craftsman.
Other than that, there is no pen and ink.
When he saw this description, Gu Huai was a little interested in this Gu Xian.
Since he is a craftsman, he has value, and now it seems that the original book describes it well, and Gu Xian is indeed serious about doing things.
Gu Huai got up, moved a piece of wood and threw it on the table.
Gu Xian immediately frowned.
He just wanted to reprimand Gu Huai and tell him not to disturb himself in doing things, when he heard Gu Huai point to the red spots on the wood and ask him:
"Brother, you said that if you use this piece of wood for carving, should you use the red on this top to make plum blossoms?"
Gu Xian just wanted to say no, this piece of wood should be carved from the bottom to the top first, but looking at the color of the wood, he took this sentence back stiffly.
Why not?
Looking at Gu Huai's eyes, Gu Xian couldn't help but blurt out: "I can try." ”
For some reason, he picked up the tool and began to do it according to the momentary thoughts in his heart.
If it was in the past, he would have carved the pots first, then the branches, and then the flowers, and so on.
After listening to Gu Huai's suggestion, he carved out the flowers one by one according to his inner thoughts.
