12 Get better

Take a trip to the county seat.

Qiu Niang bought pen and ink, carefully wrote down the price of the four books and five classics, and silently calculated how much silver money she had to prepare.

Gu Zhang sighed, planning to buy some delicious food to comfort his injured little heart.

He fumbled in his pocket.

Oh, empty!

He spent all the money last time.

"Mother~" Gu Zhang raised his head and looked at Qiu Niang with a blank look.

In Qiu Niang's mind, there was a nervous tension called "silver money".

This familiar feeling!

Qiu Niang looked down and saw her son's dark eyes, looking at her expectantly.

Qiu Niang suddenly relented.

However, Qiu Niang still has a bottom line in her heart, she took her purse to the height that Gu Zhang's height was invisible, and then took the money from it.

Gu Zhang: ......

When he grows taller in the future, no one will want to use this trick to avoid him!

Qiu Niang thought about it, took out 5 yuan from her purse, and handed it to Gu Zhang: "If you are greedy, buy some snacks, there is no more." ”

In this era when eggs are only worth 2-3 wen each, if other children can have 5 wen pocket money, I am afraid that they will jump up happily and call friends to take a group of friends to the street to buy food and play.

But Gu Zhang looked down at the 5 yuan in his palm, how did he think this was enough?

"Mother, didn't we have five pieces of money left last time we sold chaihu?" Gu Zhang recalled that he had just passed by the restaurant and smelled the aroma of roast chicken, feeling a little greedy.

Qiu Niang opened the pen and ink paper in her hand: "The pen and ink paper cost money, right?" The family's large and small expenses, did the mother conjure it up out of thin air? The rest of the money should be saved up for you to study, to build a house, and to marry a wife. ”

Gu Zhang: "......"

Can he say that he doesn't want to study, he doesn't want to build a house, he doesn't want to marry a wife, he just wants to enjoy it now?

In the last days of accidents and tomorrow, I don't know who came first, I believed in the concept of "there is wine today and drunk tomorrow" for more than 20 years, and was strongly suppressed by Qiu Niang.

Gu Zhang staggered behind Qiu Niang and struggled:

"Mother, I just saw a new method in the book, and I will be able to earn money again soon."

"Mother, how about earning money in the future, how about sharing me with thirty percent of the flowers every time?"

"Mother......

Qiu Niang used to see those noisy children, lying on the ground and crying for candy to eat and toys, and she always felt bored in her heart.

But now her son is sticky with her, holding her hand, softly coquettish with her, and sweetly saying that she will earn money to buy her a gold hairpin in the future, and she doesn't know how much to iron in her heart.

Not only was he not half irritable, but he was even a little happy.

As soon as his heart softened, he almost didn't hold it and let go.

Fortunately, there is still a trace of reason that can barely be supported, Qiu Niang thought that in the future, Xiaoshi would always ask for some expenses when he came to the county seat to study, so she agreed to a hundred percent of the money.

She didn't dare to think about it any more.

She felt that no matter how much money she had, as long as she dared to give it, the little stone could be spent all.

"Let's make it happen." Gu Zhang sighed like a little adult.

He earns more, and one percent is enough to spend.

Qiu Niang walked around, and took some manual work with the familiar shopkeeper in the county seat, and also brought it to Old Man Gu to take some carpenter work.

They are the most trivial and unskilled in the big business in a hurry, not to mention the carpenter master, the apprentices are not willing to do it, so in a hurry, they let it out.

"I will definitely send it to you on time, don't worry, how have I made a mistake over the years?"

The shopkeeper also smiled: "That's right, I thought you wouldn't come in that heavy rain, I was really anxious, I didn't expect you to be a family wearing a coat and braving the rain to send it, I am the most relieved to your family." ”

Gu Zhang accompanied Qiu Niang around the county seat.

I finally understood why although the people in the village were envious, no one could reproduce this road to make money.

When Qiu Niang was talking with the vendors and shopkeepers, the whole person was so confident that she seemed to be glowing, which made people think of the sunflower born after the sun.

He thought that if it weren't for the fact that his knowledge limited Qiu Niang, if it wasn't for the lack of resources in the county, and if it wasn't for his continuous consumption of the family's capital, Qiu Niang would definitely have a better life.

Gu Zhang raised his head and looked at Qiu Niang and praised: "Mother is really amazing." ”

Qiu Niang packed the collected work and raw materials into the big basket she brought, and the weight of dozens of catties was easily carried on her back.

She smiled and nodded Gu Zhang's head: "It's useless to pat on the back, at most it's one percent." ”

After speaking, he took Gu Zhang's hand and planned to go home from the city.

Today I was unlucky, I didn't encounter the ox cart and donkey cart, so I had to walk back.

"If you're tired, tell your mother."

Gu Zhang nodded obediently: "Okay." ”

It should be good on the lips, but Gu Zhang didn't think so in his heart. What can Qiu Niang do? If you can't meet a car on the way, Qiu Niang can only put the back basket in front and carry him on her back.

The weight of dozens of catties is all pressed on Qiu Niang alone, and he is reluctant.

If he still has one-tenth of his original physical fitness, he must take the back basket and carry it himself.

On the way back to the village, Gu Zhang was told to study hard all the way, if he can take a meritorious test, and open a private school in the future, it is the best, if not, it is not bad to find a job in the county, such as being a bookkeeper.

"At that time, the father and mother of the family will plant it, and when the father and mother can't plant it, you will rent it out, and the life will be no different."

It sounded a little nagging, but Gu Zhang didn't dislike it at all, but felt warm in his heart.

In the last days, he was abandoned as soon as he was born and grew up in the welfare home of the base.

Sometimes I see those children who have parents, who are unreservedly taught survival skills by their parents, and the learning process is also carefully protected, I don't know how envious I am.

But he could only watch from afar, envy, and even if he was afraid, he had to go through the difficulties alone, growing up in blood and death all over his body.

Now, he is also a child who feels sorry for himself.

Gu Zhang leaned his head on Qiu Niang's arm and responded, "Okay." ”

He wanted to make an excuse not to study, but now that he thinks about it, it is precisely because he can use reading as an excuse to explain the skills and knowledge he knows.

Therefore, for the time being, I still have to read this book first. After a year or two, when he has enough money to support a comfortable life, he can retire.

Gu Zhang thought of a way to do both.

When he got home, he ran to his herb pile, intending to choose an herb to improve his family's life before the harvest.

Another important point is that he still has "one percent" of pocket money!

Gu Zhang put the prepared potion aside and pulled among the piles of herbs, intending to pick out a herb with a high price and a large amount in the mountains, suitable for harvesting in this season.

This time, you can also choose a slightly more complicated concocting process, after all, he can say that he saw it in the book.

Gu Zhang chose several herbs, planning to find time to go into the mountain to have a look and determine which one had the most quantity.

The system was urged by the repayment news, and it was so anxious at the moment.

It originally thought that when it came back from buying pen and ink, the host would start copying the book given by Zhao Fuzi!

The system takes a deep breath and cheers itself up.

It said enthusiastically: "The host~ The pen and ink have been bought, we can start the twenty big-character tasks!" ”

The small system felt that it was particularly witty, and it deliberately found sugar cane sweeter than sweet grass in the exchange interface!

"After completing the task, the points can be exchanged for sweet and juicy sugar cane to eat~ 20 points can be exchanged for 5, and the system can also help save them, and then redeem them when needed."

In order to let Gu Zhang earn points as soon as possible, and then spend the points in one go, the system can be described as painstaking, and even offered to help save them.

When Gu Zhang heard this, thinking appeared in his eyes.

Why does this little fool feel a little panicked?

He said as if he had no intention: "I remember the last time you said that you can get a discount, what is the price of sugarcane after the discount?" ”

The system is like a cat with its tail stepped on, shouting: "No discounts!" ”

That's not a discount, that's a commission as a system!!

It's a new system, where can there be such a high discount?

For every point cheaper on the host, one point less for its gain.

It regretted it, and it shouldn't have been kind enough to say it before.

If it weren't for the commission to repay the loan, it wouldn't have come out to take care of the stinky host!

The system huffed, completely forgetting that it had just blew itself up again and could help temporarily store the items that could be redeemed.

Gu Zhang sighed: "If there is no discount, then don't worry." ”

The system is really going to be angry and cry now.

Stinky host, the merit golden light on his body must be fake, right?

Gu Zhang was talking nonsense with the system, and Qiu Niang came over: "Don't be upside down, don't worry about this moment, you go and take a look at the books sent by Zhao Fuzi, or copy a little first, Zhao Fuzi is willing to borrow it is kind, we can't keep occupying it." ”

"I'll see later, I'm not done yet." Gu Zhang said while selecting herbs.

The height difference between the two made Qiu Niang very natural and gently grabbed his ear with her hand: "Huh? ”

Xiao Gu Zhang's instinctive reaction immediately went online, and he hurriedly promised: "I'll go now." ”

It's a shame for such a big person to be pulled by his mother to study again!

Derpy melon is still watching!

Qiu Niang patted Gu Zhang's back and urged, "Go quickly, my mother will cook you an egg." ”

Seeing that Gu Zhang really opened the book, sat upright and began to copy the book, the eyes of the system looking at Qiu Niang were full of admiration.

How nice it would be if the host listened to it like that!

Seeing that the progress of the task continued to grow, and the stinky host was still "suppressed", the system was excited, cheered, and used code to conjure flower balls and wave them happily.

Even fireworks were set off on the system interface to celebrate.

Gu Zhang: "......"

Derpy is getting bolder.

But the fireworks are pretty good.

Gu Zhang ate eggs and was in a good mood to enjoy the colorful and beautiful fireworks on the interface for a while, and then lowered his head and continued to copy the book.

In the following days, Gu Zhang went to the school every day to read the "Analects" with Zhao Fuzi, and after school, he always found all kinds of excuses to run to the fields.

It hasn't rained much recently, and the wheat at the grain-filling stage needs a lot of water, so I have to bring water back from the river and water it into the field.

He secretly added some ingredients to the bucket, just enough to dilute 400-600 times, and in the process of watering, the potion was successfully sprinkled into the ground.

Sometimes, under the pretext of looking at his "King of Wheat Ears", he ran into the field and sprinkled soil into the ground without leaving a trace, and sprinkled some insect repellent powder.

Ears of wheat silently began to change.

In addition to Gu Zhang, Gu Dagen has also recently had a new hobby - wearing new clothes and going out for a walk.

Although it was cotton and linen, Gu Dagen was still reluctant to wear new clothes to the ground.

But I really can't hold back the heart of showing off, their family is not poor at all!

Little Rock is also going to continue reading!

Gu Dagen was holding back his strength in his heart, but no one said it, after all, they couldn't catch someone and tell people that his family was rich, right?

It happened that the weather was getting hotter day by day, and after Gu Dagen finished eating, he went to the river to flush, changed into new clothes, and went home in a big circle in the village.

"Dagen, it's not a year, how do you make new clothes?"

Receiving the envious gaze of the man in the same village, Gu Dagen felt more comfortable when he was asked like this.

He tried to make his show-off less obvious, and said reservedly, "Well, new clothes." ”

"The material of this dress doesn't seem to be hemp, but it's very comfortable to the touch."

"I have money to make new clothes, who spread the word before, saying that the Gu family eats wild vegetables every day?"

"I haven't been willing to make new clothes for two years."

Gu Dagen walked over, listening to the discussion behind him, it felt like he had done a day's work in the summer, and then flushed his body with cold well water, and his heart was called happy!

Gu Dagen also made a special detour to Dazhu's house, and wandered around his door for three days in a row, and finally let him run into him.

Seeing people coming out from afar, Gu Dagen hurriedly turned his back, pretending to pass by by by and wanted to leave.

The two of them work in the field next door, and they have a good relationship on weekdays, and when they see this new set of clothes without a patch on him. Da Zhu looked surprised, and ran a few steps to catch up:

"Big Root, have you made new clothes? This color is pretty good, but the price must be more expensive, right? ”

Gu Dagen tried his best to control it, but the corners of his mouth were almost to the root of his ears: "My small stone was bought for me, and the color was also chosen by him." ”

Seeing Gu Dagen walking like this every day, Old Man Gu was envious, he even chose the route to go around the village, and in the face of those old guys, what to say was in his mind many times.

Every day, I look forward to my new clothes being ready, and I am waiting to wear new clothes to find my old man, although he can't do work, and his strength is small, but he has a good grandson!

Whose grandson is so caring and competitive with his little stone?

If it weren't for himself, Old Man Gu would be so anxious that he would have to start making clothes.

Gu Zhang really couldn't understand this behavior.

But seeing my father smirk and go home happily every day, he didn't say anything, living a life, happiness is the most important thing.

Within two days, Old Man Gu's clothes were also ready.

Maybe it's because he's been suffering from a lifetime of cowardice, but Old Man Gu is not as reserved as Gu Dagen, so he almost wrote the word "show off" on his face.

Go to a crowded place, blow the filial piety of the grandchildren, blow the fabric, blow the color, blow the price......

"Isn't it comfortable for you to touch?" Old Man Gu pulled a small corner of his clothes, specially for people to touch, and he had to wash his hands.

At this time, cotton linen is more expensive than linen, and most of the countrymen buy cheap linen.

"It's so comfortable!"

Originally, Gu Dagen was fine wearing new clothes, after all, he took the original clothes, and they were so broken that he didn't know how many patches they had made.

Now that Old Man Gu is also wearing new clothes, the original rumors are suddenly self-defeating.

When Gu Zhang also put on new clothes and went to the school, Wang and Qiu Niang also changed into new clothes and appeared in the village.

It attracted the attention of a lot of gossip at once.

At this glance, I saw that something was wrong.

The Gu family has changed new clothes and eaten delicious food, which is completely inconsistent with the previous rumors, so let's not talk about it for the time being.

Why do even the ears of rice in Gu's field look more energetic?

You can't buy it with money, can you!!
