On January 1, the cold wind in the capital was biting.

Early in the morning, Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang took their son Gu Chen and came to the People's Square together.

This was Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang's first family trip after being laid off, and they first came to the capital.

The flag phalanx is like a tall aspen, in the cold winter, with their enthusiastic hands, hold the fiery sun, let it rise in the east of the motherland.

Gu Chen sat on Gu Baichuan's shoulder, and after watching the flag-raising, his little face was red from the cold, and the small red flag in his hand fluttered in the cold wind.

"Old Gu, it's time to go. Xiao Xiaofang, who looked at the crowd beginning to disperse, couldn't help but remind Gu Baichuan.

"There's no hurry. Gu Baichuan slowly turned around and said disdainfully to the flow of people: "At this speed, it is estimated that it will be okay to wait a little longer, and I am not in a hurry to go to work." ”

"Go to work, do you still know that you have to go to work?" Xiao Xiaofang sighed and looked at Gu Chen helplessly: "Gu Chen is only five years old this year, but the two of us have no jobs, how can we live in the future?"

"It's too much. Gu Baichuan looked indifferent, followed the crowd leisurely, and laughed self-deprecatingly:

"After being laid off, others were busy looking for jobs, but I took you and my son to the capital for a tour, and others thought that our family was a one-time compensation buyout. ”

"Even if it's a compensation buyout, it won't be much money, and there must be a direction for the family's life in the future, right?" Looking at Gu Baichuan, Xiao Xiaofang was also angry and said: "I used to go to work every day, although the salary is not high, I can make do with it." ”

"But now that both of them have lost their jobs, and their son is still young, what can we do in the future with this little technology?"

"We are all advanced workers every year, and we have many advantages, what are you afraid of?" Gu Baichuan didn't care.

"Advantages?" Xiao Xiaofang was overjoyed when she heard it: "I said husband, what do you think your advantages are?"

"I think I have a lot of strengths. He was also afraid that Xiao Xiaofang would see the moist corners of his eyes, Gu Baichuan hurriedly turned sideways and said with a smile: "The only deficiency is that the balance is insufficient." ”

"I could have lived happily, but the lack of money hurt me, so, this winter, I decided to go the retro route and wear last year's clothes. ”

"Hehe, it's not because of lack of money. Xiao Xiaofang shook her head.

"I'm not because of the money, I'm just nostalgic. Gu Baichuan wanted to save face, and argued with reason: "I found that my myopia is getting worse and worse, and I can't see the money when I open my wallet." ”

"Hehe!" Gu Chen was also happy when he heard it: "Dad, is there money with a pair of glasses?"

"Poor...... Pretty much. Looking at Gu Chen's cute face, Gu Baichuan suddenly felt that all the loss had vanished.

After calming down, Gu Baichuan smiled again and said: "Since there is nowhere to hide, then face the difficulties, since there is no result in hard work, then be content and happy, since there is no pure land, then be calm, since you can't get your wish, then let go of liberation." ”

"What do you mean?" Gu Chen didn't understand well, and looked up at his father forty or fifty degrees.

Gu Baichuan touched Gu Chen's head: "You will understand in the future, anyway, whether it is the wind and rain, or the spring flowers, it is a unique life." ”

"Husband, why don't we go into business? Many of my sisters are in business. Xiao Xiaofang suddenly had a new proposal.

Gu Baichuan frowned, hesitated for a moment and said, "But we don't have much capital, and we don't know how to do business, what should we do if we are deceived?"

"Then who is born to walk?" Xiao Xiaofang frowned slightly, and said in a spurring tone: "Let's take our son Gu Chen as an example, Go, checkers, and chess are all rare opponents in kindergarten, and even the teacher can't beat him, and it's not for us to teach him little by little." ”

"But business needs to be 9 to 5, what can Gu Chen do?" Gu Baichuan said.

"Why don't you ......" Xiao Xiaofang stopped on the side of the road, meditated for a few seconds, and then said: "Or, let your good classmate Zhang Jingde, who is a policeman, help take care of it." ”

"Anyway, it's nothing more than three meals a day, we don't have time to get it, so let Gu Chen go to the police station canteen to eat, and let's just pay for the food." ”

"But isn't this a troublemaker?" Gu Baichuan immediately shook his head: "No, no, forget it." ”

Xiao Xiaofang was unhappy when she heard this: "How can this be troublesome? Zhang Jingde is your best classmate, I heard that he still has a lot of apprentices in his hands now, there are so many people watching, are you afraid that your son will get lost at the police station?"

"That'...... Then let me ask?" Gu Baichuan was also moved, feeling that it was time for his son to learn to be independent, even though Gu Chen was only five years old.

Three-day tour of Beijing.

Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang were surprisingly good to Gu Chen, simply put, they responded to their needs.

The family visited the Forbidden City, climbed the Great Wall, and climbed the Fragrant Mountain.

Until the last day, I had to take the afternoon train back to Gangnam City.

With three hours left in the car, Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang took Gu Chen to a nearby farmers' market.

The main thing is that you can eat some special Beijing dim sum here, and Xiao Gu Chen's favorite thing is to follow his parents to the farmers' market.

A butcher who sells pork has a loud voice, but even if he keeps shouting, there are very few customers who buy pork.

Gu Chen was suddenly attracted by the wooden plank under the pork, and couldn't help pulling the corner of Gu Baichuan's clothes and said, "Dad, look, there are gold wires in the wood grain, it's so strange." ”

"Golden silk?" Gu Baichuan frowned, walked to the pork stall, and carefully observed the wooden board.

"What kind of meat do you want? I'm good for this pork. Seeing that the customer finally came, but when he saw that he was carrying luggage and selling pork, he suddenly felt that the transaction was hopeless, so he continued to sit aside and chat with people.

Gu Baichuan was stunned, and hurriedly asked the pork boss: "How long have you been selling pork?"

"It's been more than ten years, what's wrong?" The pork boss glanced at Gu Baichuan, feeling that this person was a little curious.

"Then your wooden board for chopping meat should have been used for many years, right?" Gu Baichuan asked again.

Seeing that Gu Baichuan didn't look like he was here to buy meat, the pork boss didn't look back at all, and said in a cold tone: "Since I started selling meat, I have used this wooden board to chop meat, what's wrong?"

"I didn't ...... No comments. Gu Baichuan turned around with a smile and took Xiao Xiaofang and Gu Chen to the side, and then said softly: "This boss has used it to kill the pig for more than ten years, but he hasn't even found that it is golden silk nanmu." ”

"Golden Silk Nanmu is very valuable?" When Gu Chen heard this, he immediately became interested.

"Let's put it this way. Gu Baichuan also hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The emperor's coffin uses this." ”

"Can it be resurrected after using it?" Gu Chen suddenly had a whim, and suddenly froze: "The emperor's coffin is equal to a pig killing board?" No wonder pork is so expensive, it seems that there is indeed a reason for being expensive." ”

Xiao Xiaofang was also stunned: "Husband, how do you recognize this thing? Don't make a mistake?"

"You can't make a mistake. Gu Baichuan was very sure: "I went on a business trip a few years ago, and there was a colleague who had a lot of people in his hometown, and a few people couldn't protect it, as long as you have the courage to cut it at will, several hillsides are there, and his family used to cut two plants, and he was almost arrested at the police station." ”

"Is this outrageous?Is it worth more than gold?" Xiao Xiaofang felt incredible.

Gu Baichuan nodded: "Almost, the benches of the older generation are all this, they are not bad for decades, and the golden silk nanmu is corrosion-resistant, insect-proof, not easy to deform, and the texture is fine and magnificent. ”

I also saw that Xiao Xiaofang and Gu Chen were dumbfounded, but they didn't know whether what Gu Baichuan said was reliable or not, so Gu Baichuan said again:

"Let me tell you this, what you know is a treasure, what you don't know is a firewood, and now it is a national protected tree. ”

"You know the pillars of the Forbidden City, right? It's made of golden silk nanmu, and the country can't make up enough to repair it, how precious do you say?"

"That'...... Can that person sell it?" Xiao Xiaofang had just finished speaking, but found that Gu Chen was gone, and suddenly said, "Huh, where is my son?"

On the other side, Gu Chen had already stood on tiptoe, patted the wooden board where the meat was placed, and said, "Boss, buy something." ”

"How much meat do you want to buy?" the pork boss glanced at it, but found that there was no figure, and immediately stood up, only to find a little ghost standing there on tiptoe.

"Little ghost, what are you buying?"

"This. Gu Chen pointed to Jin Si Nanmu and said, "I want this." ”

"You want to buy planks?" the pork boss was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Don't make trouble, you have to buy planks and go to the timber market." ”

"Then you say how much the plank, I'll pay twice. Gu Chen instantly stretched out two little fingers.

The pork boss smiled......

"Triple and pay cash. Gu Chen instantly took out his small wallet and began to take out the New Year's money he had saved from it.

The pork boss froze instantly, leaned forward, and looked down at Gu Chen's New Year's money, his eyes straightened.

"Little ghost, do you really want to buy it?"

"Buy. Gu Chen nodded.

The pork boss frowned, scratched his beard with five fingers of his right hand, and said after hesitating for a few seconds: "Okay, you give me your money, I will sell it to you, and I have another piece here, and I will also give it to you." ”

"Really, fake?" Gu Chen was stunned when he heard this.

The pork boss snatched the New Year's money from Gu Chen's hand, instantly hung the pork on the hook, pushed the heavy wooden board in front of him, and stacked a piece of the ground on it.

"Na, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, you can't go back. ”

"Gu Chen. ”

At this time, Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang also walked over with stunned faces.

Before Gu Baichuan could speak, the pork boss immediately said: "Na! Your son wants to buy it himself, and our rule here is that money will not be refunded." ”

Gu Baichuan smiled a little bitterly, just now he was still worried about how to buy the golden silk nanmu, but this kid did it directly.

was also afraid that the pork boss would find out that he was tired, Gu Baichuan directly slapped Gu Chen's buttocks: "You kid, you are stupid to buy broken wood with so much New Year's money?"

"This kid is not stupid, he is quite discerning. The pork boss was also overjoyed, and hurriedly stuffed the New Year's money given by Gu Chen into his pocket: "Let me tell you, I won't return this money." ”

Xiao Xiaofang frowned slightly, and hurriedly urged: "Forget my husband, we won't be able to catch the train, so we don't want this plank." ”

"Why not? You can chop wood when you take it home, right? Gu Baichuan pretended to be angry and picked up the wood, and said, "You don't want to help?"

"Oooh. Xiao Xiaofang hurriedly went to lift it, and said in her heart that the principal of the business was there.

Seeing Gu Chen's family chattering and gradually leaving, a little girl sitting in the bun shop suddenly giggled.

"Lu Weiwei, what are you laughing at?" a policeman asked her, carrying a bun she had bought.

"Dad, there was a little boy named Gu Chen just now, so stupid. Lu covered his mouth slightly and laughed out of the pig's cry: "He actually went to the pork stall to buy two pieces of wood, I think he is a piece of wood." ”

"You're no better. The policeman pestled Lu Weiwei's head with his hand, and said with some complaints: "In the children's palace competition in the afternoon, don't you try to see if I don't beat you?"

"Got it, Dad. Lu Weiwei took the policeman's hand and walked out of the bun shop together.

At this time, she looked at the family carrying two pieces of wood from a distance, and her heart was both curious and funny.

What kind of strange family is this? The little boy ...... It must not be productive in the future, right?
