Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing seemed to be very hungry, and they devoured the rest of the meat and fish, and even the three plates of dumplings in the pot were swept away.

Xiaohuzi pinched the paper airplane and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, aunt, where have you gone?" My dad and I went to look for you, but unfortunately we couldn't find you. ”

Gu Yi was very apologetic, and Zhiwu: "I'...... We went into hiding. When grandma returned to the first floor of Linjiang, we dared to come back. ”

In the morning, he discussed with Xiao Xing that they should manage their own salaries, and no matter what they spent in the future, they would simply write it down with a pencil, and the small numbers did not have to be written down one by one, but the large numbers had to be remembered.

He explained that in the future, she would use his salary to support her daily expenses and rent, and that she would save as much as possible from her salary. If they can save a person's salary, they will be able to buy their own house in Yucheng in less than two years.

Zhao Xiaoxing was a little unhappy at first, wondering if he trusted himself, otherwise why couldn't he hand over all the money to her.

Gu Yi hurriedly coaxed her and said that it was not the case, it was not good to always earn flowers like this, earn flowers, income and expenses were too vague, although the number of the family was a decimal number, it could not become a confused account one after another.

As long as the data is clear, you can see what you spend too much, what you shouldn't spend, and how to avoid spending too much.

Zhao Xiaoxing felt that he had a point, so she agreed.

Gu Yi asked her to count the money saved by the two of them at the end of the year first and determine the specific amount.

This is the only deposit they have made this year, and it is also their first deposit. So Zhao Xiaoxing hid it very densely, and carefully wrapped Qian Zai in three layers with oiled paper and placed it in the bottom corner of the wardrobe.

The more Zhao Xiaoxing turned over her heart, the more bottomless she became, and found that several clothes had been gnawed by mice, until she saw most of the oiled paper that had been gnawed, and screamed in fright!

Gu Yi hurriedly took it out and opened it carefully - who knew that all the money had been gnawed to pieces, and he couldn't find a whole whole thing at all.

Zhao Xiaoxing cried all of a sudden!

Gu Yi was annoyed and uncomfortable in her heart, and couldn't help but scold her loudly why she wrapped it in oiled paper, because some oiled paper was used to wrap food, and most of it had the smell of food, and rats would sneak into it to steal food when they smelled it.

He was distressed, and Zhao Xiaoxing was also distressed, and quarreled angrily.

At noon, no one had the heart to eat, so no one cooked, and everyone sulked.

The two were depressed for most of the day, and no one spoke, until they heard that the landlord next door was preparing a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Gu Yi cheered up and said that there was no way to run out of money.

Next, I will definitely be short of money, so I will go to the eldest brother to borrow a little support first, and when I go to work and receive my salary during the New Year, I will naturally be able to tide over the difficulties.

Zhao Xiaoxing asked him if he resented her.

Gu Yi joked that it wasn't her who gnawed the money and complained about what she did.

The two of them released their suspicions, closed the doors and windows and walked towards the third garden.

On the way, Gu Yi proposed that there were all private houses nearby, and there were a lot of rats and cockroaches, so if one was killed today, there might be a nest tomorrow, so it was better to raise one or two cats to completely solve this problem.

Zhao Xiaoxing agreed, and asked him to go to the back of the shipyard canteen to find one or two good-looking wild cats to raise them.

There are a lot of stray kittens outside the cafeteria, all of which are discarded by nearby people, and they are not raccoon cats that grew up in the wild.

They have been wandering outside the house since they were young, and they are much more fierce than ordinary domestic cats, and they can definitely resist all the mice in the vicinity with two of them.

When the two arrived at Sanyuan, they found that Li Ying was also there.

Li Ying saw that they looked panicked and dodged, and Zhao Xiaoxing still had red eyes, so she asked what was going on.

Gu Yi knew that the money around him was gone, and the old mother would know sooner or later, because it was impossible for him to conjure five yuan out of thin air for her next month, so he explained the specific reason.

Who knew that the old mother was crazy all of a sudden, pointing at Zhao Xiaoxing's head and scolding all kinds of insults, scolding very ugly.

Zhao Xiaoxing couldn't stand it and ran out, he hurriedly chased after her, and finally stopped her at the gate of the shipyard.

The two hid in a sheltered place and talked in a low voice, not daring to go back to Sanyuan, thinking that they could only wait until the old mother returned to the first floor of Linjiang, and then they would come back.

Xiaohuzi was very clever and proposed: "Uncle, aunt, mice are afraid of cats." You have cats, big cats that are very good at catching mice. ”

"Hmm." Gu Yi rubbed his hair and said, "We have found a few satisfactory ones near the cafeteria. It's a little late at night, and I don't have anything to eat, so I plan to bring a little fish to the day after tomorrow, and trick the two small ones back to raise. ”

Xiaohuzi couldn't figure it out and asked, "Why?" Raising a big cat will catch a big mouse in no time, won't it? ”

Gu Yi laughed and replied, "The big cat is already big, and it is a little difficult to cultivate feelings." The kittens grow up little by little, and they will listen to us. ”

Xiaohuzi nodded suddenly.

Gu Xuan helped Zhao Xiaoxing clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then said goodbye and went back.

"Aunt Xuan!" Xiaohuzi shouted: "We have to go to my grandparents' house tomorrow, and we will not be able to get home until the evening of the second day of junior high school." Mom asked you and Grandma to come over for dinner in the third year of junior high school. ”

"Hmm." Gu Xuan smiled slightly: "I remember, you go in quickly." ”

Xiaohuzi waved his hand obediently and closed the door.

More than half an hour later, Chen Xingling and Gu Qi came back on bicycles, naturally finding nothing.

"Thankfully, you still know how to come back!" Gu Qi muttered.

Gu Yi smiled: "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm sorry...... I'm sorry for your trouble. We didn't dare to face Mom, thinking that when she was gone, we would come back. ”

Zhao Xiaoxing apologized with red eyes and guilt.

Chen Xingling led her to the house and said, "Okay, okay, the sky can't fall!" It's not the first day you've known Gu Yi's mother. She's just like that, she has a powerful mouth, but it's actually a paper tiger that can be broken when you poke it. I'm afraid of what she will do, when she scolds, it's the wind in her ears, the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out, otherwise you can't get along with her at all. ”

This is an indisputable fact, so she said it frankly in front of the two Gu Qi brothers.

“…… Sister-in-law, I'm useless. Zhao Xiaoxing choked: "I'm really useless, my mother-in-law didn't scold me wrong...... I really only dragged Ah Yi down. I can't even collect a little money...... I deserve to be scolded by her. ”

Chen Xingling persuaded: "If you make a mistake this time, check and find out where you are wrong, and carefully correct your mistake." You told me a long time ago that there are rats on the side of the rented house, and there are indeed a lot of rats nearby, but everyone is busy one by one, and no one cares about it. The main reason why this happened was that I was too negligent before. ”

"We're going to have two cats." Gu Yi was in the back.

Chen Xingling pointed around and said, "We just moved in here, and the outer wall is tightly sealed, so we haven't found it yet." But sooner or later, I also plan to get a kitten or a puppy, one to be a playmate for the little tiger, and the other to catch mice. ”

"Okay, okay!" Little Tiger jumped happily: "I want a kitten!" I want puppies too! Strong cousins, they all have kittens and puppies! I'm envious! ”

"Okay." Chen Xingling said with a smile: "I'll pick up two of them another day." ”

Xiaohuzi hugged Chen Xingling's thigh: "Thank you, Mom!" I love my mother! ”

Everyone was amused by the cute little guy, and Zhao Xiaoxing forgot to cry and didn't blame herself anymore.

Gu Qi changed his shoes, took off his coat and sat down.

Gu Yi hurriedly poured water and stepped forward: "Brother, sister-in-law, are you all thirsty?" Drink some water. ”

Chen Xingling took a few sips and asked, "Where is the money that was bitten up?" You show it to me. ”

Gu Yi took it out of his trouser pocket and explained: "Gu was angry, and I didn't have time to paste it yet." I remember that my sister-in-law had glue and glue on her side, so I didn't cook rice cereal. ”

The coins were gnawed to pieces, but if you look closely, you can see that they are five pieces of unity, and one piece of five, plus two or three pieces of one.

Chen Xingling took out a handkerchief and ordered: "Get a piece of it in." When the bank starts working after the Chinese New Year, I will take it to the city center and ask. Some coins are damaged, as long as the situation is stated, the bank will reissue some after verification. If the defect is not large, it can even be returned in its entirety. ”

"Really?!" Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing's eyes lit up.

Chen Xingling nodded: "It's true." But you have to be prepared for the damage that is too severe to be recognised. ”

"It's fine!" Gu Yi smiled: "It's okay as much as you want, I thought it was all gone, how much can I make up!" ”
