Fortunately, Mrs. Gu did not directly deny their meaning, in ancient times, children matured early, and there were also those who got married at twelve or thirteen, and Mao Dan is now ten years old, and in everyone's opinion, he is already half a child.

Besides, rural people are not rich in life, especially when they have to provide people with education, and the pressure is not ordinarily heavy.

In the past, if Gu Changlin hadn't been able to get money by himself in the private school, the Gu family would not have had such an easy life.

When Gu Changlin doesn't read it, he won't be able to get any money at that time, and everything will have to rely on his family.

Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu discussed privately that Xiao Yang has such a good talent, it is a pity not to study, and Mao Dan, the eldest grandson, ...... I have also studied seriously these days......

Come to think of it, it's not easy for them to make a decision all at once.

So when she heard that several children wanted to save money to go to school, the old lady was only relieved.

Just say yes, she said, "You children are still a little young. ”

Mao Dan and Gu Cui's hearts were raised.

Mrs. Gu said, "That's it, grandma will accompany you in the afternoon." "This is a big city on their side, and although most of the people they meet when they go out are relatively easy to talk to, there is no shortage of such things as human traffickers, and the old lady has heard of anyone who has lost their children.

The four babies in front of them, the eldest is ten years old, the remaining one is seven years old, one is five years old and one is four years old, all of them are little guys.

Except for the biggest hairy egg, the remaining three are all babies who are easy to be targeted by traffickers.

Especially the people in their family are good-looking, Gu Cui looks good-looking, and the little lamb is the eldest child of the Gu family, with long eyelashes, blinking and blinking, as if it wants to melt people's hearts.

In case she really loses the child, Mrs. Gu can't afford it, so someone has to watch it, looking at the whole family, there is nothing suitable for the right person, the eldest granddaughter Gu Xiang is older, but Gu Xiang has always disliked playing with a few children, and an unmarried young girl is not stable when she goes out.

In the past few days, the seedlings at home have been almost planted, and there is not much farm work, and it is nothing for her to spend a day or two with the children.

And this is a matter of making money, and if it can be done, it will be able to sell a small sum of silver every year in the future.

In the future, the burden on the family will be heavy, and it is also good to have more channels to get money.

"Really?" Mao Dan was flattered, and he was suspicious, "Grandma, do you really want to go to the street with us?" You can't lie to us, do you? ”

There is a sense of absurdity that adults accompany children to play at home, in short, I can't believe it.

Old Mrs. Gu held her head high, "Of course it's true, it's a good thing that you guys are trying to make money at such a young age." Although Mrs. Gu felt that she couldn't earn much money, she should just exercise her children.

She can see from the three sons in the family that the second child, who has been studying in the city since he was a child, is obviously better than the other two, and his heart and eyes are like a sieve.

Although she didn't know that the second son had already bought a house in the city behind his family's back, Mrs. Gu was sure that the second son would live better than the other two sons in the future.

So she also supports a few small ones to see the world, maybe one day this experience will be useful.

After confirming that the old lady was not lying, several children were instantly excited.

Back at home, the family also knew that Mrs. Gu was going to accompany the children to the city in the afternoon, and no junior in this family dared to refute what the old lady decided. After eating, the weather was not hot, the climate was pleasant, and with a slight wind, the group set off.

When he arrived in the city, Gu Yi's eyes swept over the towering and tall city walls, as well as the lively streets and blue brick houses.

Gu Yi didn't have the impression of coming to the city in his memory, or maybe he had been there when he was a child, but he didn't remember it anymore.

However, Mrs. Gu has lived in a nearby village all her life, raised three sons and two daughters, and is very familiar with most places in the city, she skillfully led a few little guys forward, "Let's go over there, and the people in the nearby cities are buying vegetables there." ”

And there is no booth fee in that place except for the fixed stalls.

Of course, they can't stand in the way of others.

A group of children followed behind Mrs. Gu.

Because it was the first time to sell, and it was already afternoon, Gu Yi didn't pick many mulberries, only a full basket of mulberries, and they also picked some mulberry leaves, which could be used to pad a few leaves together to give people a handful to take away when someone bought them.

When I arrived at the place, I could soon see a long street, which was quite lively, and it was full of people selling all kinds of vegetables and all kinds of things in season, Gu Yi looked at it, there were people selling mulberries and wild cherries on the mountain. They found a gap, put down the basket on Mrs. Gu's body, and put out a basket of mulberries inside, and then everyone stood or sat behind the basket.

There are not a few people on the long street, and from time to time people pass by in front of their stalls, but there are not many people who buy.

Only a few people bought some each.

Mrs. Gu was not in a hurry about this situation, but a few children were a little nervous, and finally came out to set up a stall, of course they wanted to be able to sell them all, Gu Yi observed the surroundings, in fact, they also saw a lot of stalls along the way before, but rarely saw mulberries sold.

But when it comes to this place dedicated to selling vegetables for the villagers, mulberries cannot be said to be less.

That's right, those people were meant to sell vegetables, and mulberry trees are not trees that need to be taken care of on a daily basis, they have no cost at all, and they can be picked and sold when they are ripe, and they can be sold for as much as they can make money.

His gaze suddenly looked not far away, Gu Yi pulled Old Lady Gu's sleeve, "Is that Uncle Zhou over there?" ”

He remembered that it was as if it were a person in the village.

Old Lady Gu looked at it and laughed, "It's really your Uncle Zhou, he often makes some baskets and baskets to sell, I haven't seen him before, let's go over there." ”

Old Mrs. Gu got up directly and went to carry the back basket.

They are all acquaintances in the same village, and if they are together, they can just talk.

And one of them sells bamboo weaving and rattan weaving, and the other sells mulberries, and they don't sell the same thing, so there is nothing to avoid.

Several children hurriedly packed up their things and followed the old lady to Uncle Zhou's side.

"Yo, why are you here to sell things, auntie?" Uncle Zhou was a little surprised when he saw Mrs. Gu, but he was also very enthusiastic, got up to help them put their things away, and brought his own small stool for the old lady to sit on.

It was a stool that people sat on by themselves, and the old lady hurriedly refused.

Uncle Zhou said: "Auntie, you can take it and sit down, I've been sitting for a day, just standing and resting." ”

I really couldn't refuse, Mrs. Gu could only accept it, and found a handful of mulberries for Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou smiled and said: "These are all for children, so let's give them hairy eggs." ”

When the time comes, he is a big man who eats with a mouth full of black purple, and he looks so greedy.

Mrs. Gu pulled a box and put it in the middle, and put the mulberries padded with mulberry leaves on it, "You won't get your hands dirty if you eat with a small handful on it." ”

Most of the old ladies in the village never let the atmosphere become quiet, no, as soon as they sat down, the two of them chatted.

Uncle Zhou doesn't talk too much to the elders, don't say it, it's good to have someone to talk to.

After a while, a few more people came to buy some mulberries, but there were still a lot of them left in the basket.

Gu Yi looked at the things that Uncle Zhou had knitted in front of him, and could see that this was a very skillful person, with various styles, such as practical ones such as vegetable baskets, bamboo baskets, back baskets, etc., and there were several beautiful and funny small flower baskets, and Uncle Zhou was talking to the old lady, and the movements in his hands did not stop, and after a while, most of the baskets were knitted.

Gu Yi took advantage of the time when they finished speaking, and quickly took a small flower basket and asked, "Uncle Zhou, how much does this basket sell for?" ”

Uncle Zhou looked up, "Little Lamb likes this?" This is only eight cents a piece, you like Uncle Zhou to give you one. ”

Eight cents, it's not much, but it's normal, the audience of this long street is the residents of the neighborhood, and the price can't be sold.

And in this generation, labor is the least valuable.

He shook his head and said, "I don't want a basket, but if we sell mulberries here, not many people buy them, so I thought why don't we put the mulberries in this small basket and go to the lively place outside to sell them and see if we can sell them." ”

"This basket is beautiful, and someone will definitely like it."

Old Lady Gu and Uncle Zhou were stunned for a moment, and after a while, Uncle Zhou hesitated: "You can also try." ”

Old Madam Gu also nodded, "Then try it, it's nothing." ”

The two adults started to do it, and now the small flower basket is spread with a layer of fresh mulberry leaves, and then put mulberries on it, and pose a little, not to mention, it is really beautiful.

Uncle Zhou made a total of seven small flower baskets, all of which were loaded at this time, they had four children and one adult, excluding the four-year-old preserved eggs, afraid that he would not be able to hold it steadily, Gu Yi carried a small basket, and everyone took two each.

Of course, it was impossible for Mrs. Gu to let their children go outside to sell mulberries alone, so they entrusted the remaining mulberries and baskets to Uncle Zhou, and Uncle Zhou responded: "Go ahead, I'll show you all this." ”

They took Uncle Zhou's small flower basket, and they didn't give them the silver yet, Uncle Zhou didn't ask them for it, but only said that they should take it and sell it first, and if they did, they would give him the silver.

They are all from the same village, and their personalities are not bad, and they don't care so much.

A few people walked out, and Mrs. Gu walked behind the four children, while tirelessly admonishing, "Mao Dan, you are optimistic about the preserved eggs, Cuicui, you are also optimistic about the little sheep, you walk next to each other, you can't be scattered, you know?" If you don't obey, Grandma won't take you to the city next time. ”

With the old lady's threatening advice, the four children were very well-behaved and close together.
