Lao Shatou snorted coldly, got up and picked up: "If you don't like to change, just leave, it's going to be the New Year anyway, I just keep it for the New Year." ”

"No, we're negotiable!" Gu Youcai was pushed backwards, and at the same time pulled Lao Shatou's arm: "The subsidy of the imperial court will take almost a month to come down, and you can't support this meat alone!" ”

"No, I said forty pounds, not even one pound less! Hurry up! ”

"Wait! Half a catty, I want half a catty! Gu Youcai stretched out his hand and grabbed the doorway.

Lao Shatou looked at him, and finally nodded after a long time.

……

"You said you changed half a catty?" Old Man Gu looked at Gu Youcai and asked with hatred: "That old sand is confused, you are also confused!" The subsidy from the imperial court will take almost a month to come down, do you want the whole family to go hungry with you! ”

Gu Youcai lowered his head and muttered: "My son is also a gossip from the village, isn't it ......" Besides, if you agreed to change it directly that day, how could there be this situation. It's just that Gu Youcai didn't dare to say this last sentence.

"You ......"

Old Man Gu was so angry that he was dizzy, but he couldn't say anything to ask him to exchange the food back, after all, there were two children in the family, if he really couldn't even eat meat during the New Year, it would really be a joke. But there is really not much food at home......

"Go back and let your daughter-in-law go to Zhao's house more, and find a way to get some food back!"

"Yes, Dad."

Although the Zhao family really went to the town twice, each time they sent money with money, no matter how they said it, it was her flesh and blood, and she couldn't watch Gu Qi starve to death in the Zhao Mansion!

"Mother, the next time you go to see your sister, you will also take me, I also want to eat delicious food." After Zhao came back, Gu Ba entangled around him and asked again and again.

Zhao rubbed his face, and was a little upset by Gu Ba's question, wanting to get angry but aggrieved for no reason.

"Go back to the house, don't make a mess here."

"No." Gu Ba stepped forward and shook Zhao's arm, and said coquettishly: "Mother, every time you come back, you can't eat a mouthful of dinner, if you take me there then, just share one bite of my food!" ”

Zhao was upset, and after her mother-in-law knew that she was going to the town today, she asked her to go to Zhao's house early in the afternoon because of insufficient food, so as to solve the lunch and evening meals at one time. So far, she had only drunk a bowl of mush in the morning, and now she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.

"Mother, you're talking!"

"Shut up! Go back! ”

Gu Ba was stunned, this is the first time that her mother has murdered her when she is so big, looking at the serious Zhao family, Gu Ba cried and ran away.

Zhao glanced at Gu Ba, who was crying and running away, and wanted to chase after him, but he took two steps and came back. She is starving to death now, and she has to gather other people's food, it doesn't matter if Gu Ba leaves, she just takes advantage of this time to steal some food.

Gu Wensheng had been to Zhao's Mansion before, and after a few side knocks and probes, he found that the information he had could be answered by the Zhao family, Gu Wensheng didn't know what to say to the Wang family, and the Wang's attitude changed visibly, and the whole person was a lot more diligent.

"Brother and sister, you don't have to do it, I can just live by myself on this point." Wang pushed Zhao Xiu'er away with his elbow and said.

Zhao was obviously a little flattered: "What about a large family, don't be tired of you." ”

"Don't worry, it's the New Year tomorrow, and I'm happy. My younger siblings haven't tasted the dumplings (dumplings) I made for so many years, so I just took advantage of this time to try them! ”

"Okay."

Zhao laughed with a little weakness, she could roughly guess that the Wang family was related to Xiao Qi nine times out of ten, but ...... But it wouldn't be good if she really asked her to help with these things in the future.

On the other side, Gu Jiu and Gu Jing are also busy preparing for tomorrow's New Year.

In the middle of the night, Gu Jiu suddenly opened his eyes and quietly went out.

"This ...... These are for me too! ”

"Yes, but you'll need to do one more thing for me tomorrow."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say anything!"

……

Early the next morning, Mrs. Gu got up early to make dumplings in person, and Old Man Gu walked around Gu Jiu's house several times. According to the food that was found last time, they could not afford to prepare anything to eat.

"You eat vegetarian stuffing during the Chinese New Year? So what is the flavor of the year! Old Man Gu stretched his neck and looked at Ye Qingyi's dumplings out of the pot and said.

Ye Qingyi picked up the dumpling ears, turned his head and replied happily: "No, father-in-law, this is meat filling, it just came out hot, you can taste it." As he spoke, he took six dumplings and put them in the bowl.

Old Man Gu took the bowl, bit it open and tasted one, it turned out to be really meat! It's not just meat, it's mostly minced meat!

"Where did you get the meat?"

"Xiao Jiu bought it in town."

Hearing this, Old Man Gu looked at Ye Qingyi suspiciously, if he wanted to say that Gu Jiu had bought meat in the town by touching shit before, he could still believe it, but at this time, he couldn't even get Wensheng, could she? Even if she could, where would she get the money? Can the third child's one or two pensions be spent until now?

Just thinking about it, Gu Jing ran out of the house in new clothes: "Mother, is it okay to eat?" ”

Seeing the clothes on Gu Jing's body, Old Man Gu's suspicions were even heavier. This dress is obviously not the same as the new clothes before, where did they get the money to buy so much cloth?

"Xiao Jing, come, come to grandpa, grandpa has something delicious here!"

Old Man Gu took out a piece of candy from his arms as he spoke, this candy was given to him by Wensheng when he came back the year before last, and today this kid is cheaper.

Gu Jing was stunned for a moment, looked at Ye Qing, and slowly walked over when he saw that he didn't mean to refute.

"Come, take it, this sugar is sweet, grandpa stole it, don't tell others!"

Gu Jing looked at the candy in his hand and touched it curiously. It's sticky, and it's completely different from what my sister bought.

"Xiao Jing, grandpa asked you, do you know where my sister bought the cloth and the meat? Grandpa also wanted to go buy some. ”

"I don't know."

"Really? Disobedient children don't have candy to eat! Old Man Gu said as he gestured to take the candy in Jing Jing's hand, and seeing that the latter was still looking at him indifferently, Old Man Gu sighed in his heart. Forget it, I received the things, and I can inquire about something in the future.

After Old Man Gu left, Gu Jing ran into the house with the candy: "Sister, grandpa gave me a piece of candy." ”

Gu Jiu: ? So kind?

“…… It's so sticky that you can't eat it. ”

"Huh? But I still smell sugar! ”

Gu Jiu: "...... It may be uncomfortable to eat, and I don't know how long this candy has been there. ”

"Oh."

After Gu Jiu went out, he suddenly found that there was a bowl missing on the stove: "Mother, why do I feel that there is a bowl missing?" ”

"Your grandfather took it, and I just served him a few dumplings in a bowl."

Gu Jiu: I said why was he so kind to give candy today.

Old Man Gu can't be said to be the best in the village, but he must be the most generous. According to the words of Old Man Gu, reading is the mind, and money and things are things outside the body, so you don't have to care. Therefore, every year during the Chinese New Year, Mr. Gu must be the most lively in the whole village, and this year is no exception.

"Old Man Gu has a good New Year!"

Old Man Gu nodded, and at the same time, Old Lady Gu sent a dumpling ear to the man.

The man took his things and turned around to leave, Old Man Gu was waiting for the next person to say hello, but he didn't expect that the person was discharged from the hospital and took his wife and children, a total of seven or eight people, to salute him.

"Old Man Gu, the people in the whole village know that you are kind-hearted and helpful, unlike us rough people! Now, if it weren't for the fact that I really couldn't open the pot at home, I wouldn't be like this. You can help give a few more dumplings, if you don't help, my family will really starve to death! ”

Old Man Gu frowned and obviously didn't want to give, looked at the old lady Gu on the side, and just wanted her to drive people away, another group of people came outside the door.

"Old man Gu has a good New Year! Old melon, what's the matter with you? One of them stepped forward and asked.

Without waiting for Lao Gua to speak, Old Man Gu preemptively said: "Lao Gua's family is in trouble, and he can't take the pot, everyone can help him." I don't make many dumplings this year, so I'll give one first. ”

As he spoke, he gave Mrs. Gu a look. Everyone looked happy when they got the dumpling ears, you must know that Old Man Gu's family has always been stuffed with meat!

After waiting for the people to leave, Old Man Gu breathed a sigh of relief, originally thought that the old melon family was just an example, but what he didn't expect was that the next one was even more outrageous, and he even directly asked for a bowl of bang and opened his mouth miserably!

In the end, there was no way, so Old Man Gu had to ask people to close the door in advance, and went back to the house to rest on the grounds that he was not feeling well. But Rao is like this, and there is a bang knock on the door to eat.

"Old man Gu, you can accumulate virtue by being kind and generous, the more uncomfortable you are, the more you have to do it!"

"That's it, anyway, the bags are wrapped, it's really not good, we can put it at the door, we can take it ourselves!"

Old Man Gu was so noisy that he had a headache, and in the end, Gu Wensheng took a bowl of dumplings to get people away.

Old Mrs. Gu looked at the remaining dumplings, and couldn't help but be so angry that she couldn't eat: "This group of people are all white-eyed wolves, it's good to give them food, and there are even requirements!" I think I should not give any of them! Well, we can't eat a few of them ourselves! ”

As he spoke, there was another knock at the door.

Old Lady Gu slapped the table and stood up suddenly, she had a big deal today, she wanted to see who could be so shameless!

"Mother, you are calm and calm, it's not good to celebrate the New Year." Gu Wensheng stepped forward and persuaded him.

"As far as you have a lot to do, what is there to calm down! I don't think what Niang just said is wrong at all, the group of people outside are just shameless! Wang sat on the chair and was almost half angry, she had worked so hard to make dumplings for so long, and she couldn't even eat them for her mother's family, so she gave them all to these irrelevant people?

After Wang and Mrs. Gu opened the door aggressively, when they saw someone coming, they immediately swallowed the swear words back into their stomachs.
