"Forget it."

Gu Xiaoxiao turned around and left.

Five cents, she might as well write it herself.

You know, her university is a calligraphy club.

I've even won awards.

If it weren't for the fear that her good handwriting would be revealed, she wouldn't have come to visit this kind of letter-writing stall.

When the stall owner saw people leaving, he panicked.

"Huh! Four money, four money. ”

"Sanwen!"

"Two texts! ...... Gratis! ”

"Free?!"

As soon as she heard the word free, Gu Xiaoxiao retreated with her legs upside down, her eyes shining.

"Are you really?"

"Uh...... Auntie, it's not easy for us to do business, so why don't you give some? ”

Gu Xiaoxiao looked disdainful, "Two pennies, do you want to write or not?" ”

"Write!"

After a cup of tea, a letter with fresh ink stains came out.

Putting the letter paper in the envelope, Gu Xiaoxiao walked to the post station and sent it out.

Suddenly remembering that she hadn't bought rice paper and ink yet, she walked around the street again, looking left and right, until she found a shop that was still open, and bought a thick pile of inferior rice paper and a small pile of high-quality rice paper.

Brushes, inkstones, and ink strips were not left behind.

I bought everything I should have bought, walked out of the store with my feet up, and when I raised my eyes, I saw that the pawnshop diagonally opposite was overcrowded.

Waiting in line to pawn what you have on hand.

Gu Xiaoxiao watched silently for a while, then turned her head and left.

If she didn't have the plug-in of the online supermarket, she would probably be one of the pawn teams at this time.

Therefore, she is just a little luckier than others.

There is no right to ridicule people who are trying to survive.

Thinking about the package sent by Lin Dabao, Gu Xiaoxiao completely forgot that she still had to buy food and vegetables for her family, and was about to walk into the deep alley, when there was a sudden sound of whispering and talking in her ears.

"How could this not be done?"

"Oops! Don't you know how good Lin Zhao is, I was about to say that the skin was broken, but she was unmoved. ”

"Doesn't she love to talk to the Zhao family the most? You didn't mention it? ”

"How could you not mention it! As soon as I went up, I mentioned it, and she reacted when she heard that the Zhao family, but when I went around to the child, she directly attacked me! You see, she gave me a stick on my forehead. ”

"Hey, okay, okay!" The person who spoke was a little impatient, "This thing didn't work out, so let's not try to make money." ”

"My grandson is still waiting for this money to save his life! You ask your sister to ask, can you pay me some money first. ”

"You ......"

Footsteps were heard in the distance, and the voice was interrupted.

The two of them left one after another.

Gu Xiaoxiao hooked her lips and smiled.

This voice is not Niu Xiaoniu and the old woman Chen of Lotus Village.

It's really a narrow road.

Niu Xiaoniu was married from Lotus Village, her mother's family and the Chen family are neighbors, and in order to save money, even one wall was built, so it is not uncommon for them to know each other.

What is strange is that in the original book, it is only mentioned that it is Mrs. Chen who introduced the people, and there is no in-depth mention of the marginal character Niu Xiaoniu.

If she hadn't heard these words by mistake, she would have been kept in the dark.

With the personality of Mrs. Chen and Niu Xiaoniu, if the money is not earned, they will definitely not give up.

When I go back, I have to tell a few children to be more vigilant lately.

At the same time, a plan began to take shape in my mind.

After buying the rice and grain to be eaten in the recent period, and buying some candy and biscuits, Gu Xiaoxiao walked out of the deep alley with a heavy back.

Walking into the noisy street, there was a commotion ahead.

"I've heard that! Several rice warehouses in the town have been stolen! ”

"Oh my God! Who is so unconscionable! ”

The signs in the rice grain store were immediately removed and replaced with new ones.

"No, didn't this bud rice pay back three copper plates a pound just now?! Why do you want me six copper plates at once? How can you do this business? ”

"Do you want to? Don't just get out of here, I'll call the people behind me!" ”

The man had a constipated look on his face, and he held back a sentence: "Yes, you weigh, I will pay." ”

Gu Xiaoxiao was stunned, this rice grain store was really sitting on the ground and keeping up with current affairs.

One word: show!

With a casual glance in her eyes, a familiar figure caught her attention in the shop next door selling multigrain pastries and preserved fruits.

Niu Xiaoniu stood there cramped and embarrassed like a dirt bun that had strayed into a high-end place, completely devoid of the arrogance of the village, her fingers kept buttoning the corners of her clothes, and she trembled and pointed to a large box of mung bean cakes on the counter.

"It's... This, how to sell? ”

The shopkeeper's eyes were undisguised contempt, and he spoke politely: "According to the catty, twenty copper plates are a catty, do you want it?" ”

"Come, come......" Niu Xiaoniu looked down at the copper plate in her hand, gritted her teeth and took out five copper plates, and whispered: "Come for five cents." ”

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes, pulled the copper plate into his hand, and wrapped three pieces casually, "Here." ”

Niu Xiaoniu looked at the three pastries in her hand and asked in surprise, "Five cents...... That's it? ”

The shopkeeper sneered contemptuously, "Otherwise, how much more do you want?" Give it all to you, do you dare to ask for it? ”

Niu Xiaoniu nervously buckled her toes on the ground, and she was indignant in her heart that the little second dog in the store looked at people low, but she didn't dare to attack, so she could only cower and go out.

If it weren't for the fact that her youngest son had a fever and refused to drink medicine all day long, she would not have spent this unjust money to buy this ridiculously expensive pastry.

What a silver grab!

Walking outside, the eyes of the two suddenly collided.

Niu Xiaoniu's whole person seemed to be nailed to the spot, her face turned white in an instant, and she became red again in an instant.

Gu Xiaoxiao's expression was faint and she looked away.

She didn't stay here long, she went back to the noodle stall and asked the noodle owner about the school in the town.

Although I had asked the second elder of the Lin family before, I had been waiting for almost half a month, and there was still no movement.

She decided that she would try to figure it out for herself.

"There were originally three schools in the town, but now only one is still open, called Zheng's School, which is at the end of Xihou Street, and the one with the vermilion gate on the left is."

"Thank you."

Gu Xiaoxiao was about to leave after thanking her, but was stopped again.

"This guest officer, don't blame me for not reminding you, the gentleman who teaches at the family ......" The noodle boss didn't say it explicitly, but his head shook vigorously, "If you really want to send your child to school, you should go to the Minghe Hall in Zhiqing County to have a look." ”

Gu Xiaoxiao paused, "Thank you for your kind reminder, no matter what, I'll take a look first, after all, hearing is false and seeing is believing." ”

"Eh, too, then the guest officer, you go slowly."

Seeing this, the boss didn't say anything more, and was busy wiping the table with his hands.

Gu Xiaoxiao followed the address said by the boss, walked to the West Street next door, and walked all the way to the end of the street, in front of the vermilion gate.

Raise your hand and knock on the door.
