Aunt Zhang was moved by Gan Qizheng's words, but she still sighed and said, "Those rich people just throw money around." Let's rent a house seriously, how can there be any reward. ”

Gan Qizheng saw that Aunt Zhang was relieved, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said, "It's late today, Aunt Zhang, you give me the key first."

I've taken care of renting a house.

Tomorrow I will find this piece of silver, and I will give you the rent. ”

Aunt Zhang rented out the house, and her heart was much more relaxed. smiled at the moment and said: "Decades of neighbors, can you still be trusted?" There is no need to rush the rent. ”

After that, Aunt Zhang went back to the room and took out the key to the house next door.

Gan Qi was getting the key, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he quickly ran out of the door and came to the house next door.

The three beggars stood in flames and watched in a daze at the door of Gan's house.

Gan Qi opened the door of the house next door, beckoned, and invited the three beggars to enter.

The three beggars remained silent, walked to the door of the next house, and rushed in.

Gan Qi was waiting for the three beggars to enter the house, and hurriedly said, "Three uncles, you are at your own convenience." ”

After saying that, he trotted home, and without saying a word, began to carry firewood out of the firewood room.

Gan's mother was in the yard, taking advantage of the good daylight, embroidering a handkerchief to help the family.

Seeing Gan Qi was silent, he didn't even shout "Mother", trotted into the firewood room, and after a while, he moved out of the firewood room with firewood-

Gan's mother was surprised and shouted, "Aren't you working, child?" How did you get home? ”

Seeing Gan Qi running out, Gan's mother was in a hurry, put the embroidery into the basket, stood up, and wanted to stop Gan Qizheng.

Who knows, Gan Qi is moving quickly, his mother is behind him, and he can't stop shouting.

When Gan Qi was going back to carry firewood for the second time, he grabbed Gan's mother and asked, "Where did you move the firewood?" ”

Gan Qi was holding firewood in his hand, panting and said, "Next door, Aunt Zhang's house ......"

"You scumbag!" Gan's mother was so angry that she grabbed a rolling pin and wanted to beat him: "Our family doesn't have enough firewood, why did you move the firewood to the house next door?" ”

Gan Qi was unable to dodge, and his arm was strong and he was hit with a stick.

Although Gan's mother didn't dare to kill her, Gan Qizheng was also beaten and shaken, and the firewood in his arms fell to the ground.

"Mother!" Ganchi was shouting, pulling the piece of silver from his bosom.

"What?"

Gan Mu saw a silver light flash in front of her eyes.

Take a closer look -

Gan's mother had never seen broken silver a few times in her life, and when she saw this dazzling silver light, her eyes suddenly straightened.

Gan Qi was stuffing the broken silver into Gan's mother's hand and said, "Mother, you take ......"

Gan's mother suddenly shoved a hard object.

Her rough palms trembled, pinching the heavy, cold silver.

The cold touch of the silver stimulated Gan's mother.

Gan Mu suddenly came to her senses, grabbed Gan Qizheng's arm vigorously, and asked sharply, "Where did you get the silver?"

Did you steal it?

If you don't study well, you will be a thief? ”

Gan Qi opened his fucking clamps and shouted helplessly, "Mother!

Not stolen! It's not a robbery!

It's the owner's prize! ”

Gan Mu still didn't believe it, and looked at Gan Qizheng suspiciously: "The owner rewarded it?" Don't fool me!

You've only been working for a few days, and the owner has rewarded you with this piece of silver? ”

Ganchi was gasping for breath and said, "Believe it or not!

I don't have time to say more.

It's really a bonus! ”

As he spoke, Gan Qi was crouching down, gathering up the firewood scattered on the ground, and picking it up again.

Gan's mother chased after and asked, "How did the owner reward you with this piece of silver?" What did you do? ”

Gan Qi was busy as he explained: "I just went to the shop on West Street at the east house.

I talked to the director for a while.

Later, when they were leaving, the owner saw three beggars at the door.

The proprietor was kind, so he asked me to find a place for the beggar to bathe and sleep, and then give them something to eat. ”

"Just because of three beggars?"

Gan Mu smacked her tongue.

Such strange things are unheard of.

Gan Qizheng said: "The owner rewarded this piece of broken silver, and said, I have done my errand well, if there is more money, it will be regarded as a reward for me!" ”

Only then did Gan's mother believe it, and her hands trembled with joy.

Gan Qi was holding firewood and arranged for Gan's mother to buy some food: "I have already rented Aunt Zhang's house, and I will pay her rent tomorrow when I find the silver."

Mother, now those three uncles are waiting in the house next door.

Presumably they were all hungry. You go buy something to eat. ”

Gan's mother pouted: "How expensive it is to go out and buy it, she cooks for them." ”

Gan Qi was a little anxious: "I don't have time to do it, mother, you hurry out and buy something to eat, meat, vegetables, steamed buns, you have to have it!" ”

Gan Mu was a little hesitant.

Go out and buy prepared meat and vegetables for the beggars?

Their family, all year round, only during the Chinese New Year, dare to go out to buy some braised pork head meat.

On weekdays, how dare you go out to buy cooked food.

"Mother!" Gan Qi knew that this matter could be big or small, and seeing that Gan's mother was reluctant, he had to say what he thought in his heart.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, he approached Gan's mother, lowered his voice and said to Gan's mother: "Mother, those three beggars are not ordinary beggars!" ”

“？” Gan's mother looked at Gan Qizheng strangely: "If you're not a beggar, why should you be a beggar?" Isn't it good to be a good person? ”

Gan Qi continued to lower his voice and said, "I see that the eldest lady knows those three beggars. But they pretended not to know ......"

Gan's mother immediately came to her senses: "Is there a secret? ”

Gan Qizheng said: "It's hard to say, but the eldest lady gave 2 taels of silver, and we won't even give a full meal, it's really unreasonable." ”

"That's ...... too," Gan Mu also knew the seriousness of the matter at this moment.

The average small family, one or twenty taels of silver, can live on for a year.

Two taels of silver is enough for the two of their Gan family to eat for a few months.

Besides, those three beggars are not ordinary beggars.

Maybe it's Miss Zhao's old friend.

Now she is reluctant to let them eat even a meal, so that Miss Zhao knows, I am afraid that not only will she not be rewarded, but she will also be punished.

Gan Qi continued: "The eldest lady asked my name today. Mother! As long as we do our errands well, and the eldest lady remembers us, are you afraid that there will be no other good errands in the future?

The eldest lady specially told the manager today that I will do things for her in the past two days, and ask the manager not to ask me to work. ”

Gan's mother was overjoyed, but she knew that there was no pie falling in the world, and while she was happy, she was still a little worried: "Your owner is hiding in front of you and doesn't recognize those people, could those people have done something that can see people?"

You don't have any risk in doing this errand, right? ”

Gan Qi was anxious and said, "What could be the problem?!" The eldest lady is very capable!

I heard that I can talk to the eldest lady and the prince-

This is the words of the proclamator!

Now that I am doing errands for the eldest lady, what can I do! ”

After that, he urged Gan's mother to buy wine and vegetables in a series of ways.

Gan's mother had no choice but to go out in a hurry.

Gan Qi continued to carry firewood from the firewood room to the next house, running four or five times.

Estimated to last a few days, Gan Qi was in the stove room, setting up a large cauldron.

He made a fire with the dry wood he had brought over, drew water from the well in his yard, filled it in a wooden barrel, and carried a load of water to the next door, where he boiled water for the three men to bathe.

While Gan Qi was busy, three men squatted under the porch.

Gan Qi was leaving, and the three men began to chat.

As soon as Gan Qi was entering, the three people who were originally talking saw Gan Qi coming, but they all kept silent.

Gan Qi is a smart man, and he knows that people avoid him for chatting.

At the moment, he pretended not to see and not notice, and worked silently.

Soon, Gan Qi was boiling the water and letting the three men take a bath.

Gan's mother also bought food and came back.

After Gan Mu was persuaded by Gan Qizheng, she was no longer stingy and was very generous.

carried twenty big steamed buns, one braised beef, one braised pig's head, two cold dishes, and a pound of wine.

Gan Qizheng didn't let Gan's mother into the house, but just took the food at the door, told Gan's mother to go home, and then closed the door again.

Gan Qi was wiping down the table, setting the meal, and silently picking up a broom to clean the yard.

A man came up to him, stood beside Ganqi, and said to him, "Go back, we'll just clean up ourselves." ”

Gan Qi responded, he didn't dare to look at the man's face after taking a bath, for fear of knowing something terrible.

He put down his broom and ran home with a cigarette.

When he returned home, Gan's mother was standing inside the door waiting for him.

Seeing that Gan Qi was entering the door, Gan's mother hurriedly pulled Gan Qi Zheng and asked, "But nothing went wrong, right?" ”

"Don't worry, mother!" Gan Qizheng said: "I'm doing things, aren't you still at ease?" ”

"Rest assured, rest assured!" Gan's mother was very happy and said, "I just evened out some of the meat and vegetables I bought and put them in the steamer." Let's have a good meal today! ”

Gan Qi is asking, "How much money is left?" ”

Gan's mother took out a piece of broken silver and a pile of copper plates, and said in a low voice: "It cost 200 yuan to buy a table of wine and food, and there are still one or two pieces of silver and 800 big money left." ”

Gan Qizheng said: "Tomorrow, I have to give Aunt Zhang next door a rent, eight dollars of silver, and I have to buy a few sets of clothes......

Gan's mother's face fell suddenly, and she was a little unhappy: "We have been neighbors with Aunt Zhang next door for decades, just such a house, how can it be so expensive?!"

She's cheating you!

Her house is rented for four or five taels of silver a year.

It's only four dollars of silver a month, and I have to do laundry......"

Gan Qi took the money from Gan's mother's hand and stopped Gan's mother from continuing to nag: "We are doing things for the owner, and we are not spending our family's money."

What's more, things were done in a hurry today, and I didn't sign a contract, and I didn't go to the government to report.

Aunt Zhang is responsible.

The eight-dollar silver is also the price I set myself, not what Aunt Zhang asked for.

Mother, you don't have to say a few words! ”

Gan's mother saw that Gan Qi was drinking a sip of water and was about to go out again, so she hurriedly asked him, "Where are you going?" ”

Gan Qizheng said: "I'll go out and buy some clothes. ”

Gan's mother was a little unhappy: "I haven't eaten yet!" If you want to do a good job, you have to eat well, don't you?! ”

Gan Qi was smiling and said, "It's okay, I have good foot strength."

I went to the cloth shop to buy a few sets of clothes, and I came back in half an hour.

When we're done, let's have a good meal together. ”

With that, Gan Qi was hurrying out the door.

Gan's mother shouted from behind, but he couldn't hear it at the time, and he trotted away from the smoke.

Ganchi was trotting across two streets to the nearest cloth shop.

He was dressed in rough clothes and shouted to the shopkeeper of the cloth shop: "Uncle, give me three sets of finished clothes." ”

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop naturally knew Gan Qizheng.

Gan Qi was taking a group of young men around to work as casual laborers, and the shopkeeper had asked them to help carry the cloth before.

Seeing Gan Qi running with sweat on his face, he smiled and teased: "You kid, I heard that you have found a good owner?"

After only a few days of work, you dare to come to me to spend money? ”

Gan Qi said with a smile: "It's just begging for two meals." ”

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop said: "It's not easy for you to earn a few dollars, don't waste money, buy some finished clothes, let your mother pull two pieces of cloth, and make them for you at home." ”

Gan Qi was grinning and said, "I didn't want to wear it myself, I bought it for someone else's errands - to earn some errands." ”

Gan Qizheng explained, and said: "Uncle, you help me get three sets of adult man's clothes, which should be generous and not too expensive." ”

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop smiled and said, "I'm sure I'll get it for you." ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop took three sets of neat ready-to-wear clothes to Gan Qizheng.

One set of 200 pieces, three sets of 600 big money.

Gan Qi thanked the shopkeeper and hurried back, turning back while trotting and shouting, "Uncle, go home and make steamed buns, I'll send you some." ”

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop said with a smile: "You kid is quite sensible. ”
