Chapter 199: Son, use this to buy candy

Even if the family has plenty of rice and flour, how much can they have? They live in the county and rarely eat rice and flour on weekdays. Most of the time, they eat them mixed with coarse grains.

Come to think of it, the amounts of rice and flour are very small.

But having something is better than having nothing.

Old Master Gu glanced at his eldest son and said in an ambiguous tone, "That was left behind by Xiao Jin. Have you asked her?"

As soon as he said this, Gu Dechang showed an embarrassed expression on his face.

He fixed his eyes on Gu Jin and said awkwardly, "Jin girl, I didn't think so much, I just got a little anxious."

The reason why Gu Jin moved out was to adopt An Mingji, and also to avoid adding burden to the family. She even said that she would give away half of her food rations.

Now their family eats the fine food left by Gu Jin, and he knows that he has overstepped his authority.

Gu Dechang just didn't want to make things difficult for the old man, so he took the initiative to offer to share some of the food at home with his younger sister.

Gu Jin could also see that both the old man and the uncle wanted to share some of the burden with his aunt.

She had no objection to this: "Of course, my sister-in-law is not an outsider, I have no objection."

Gu Qiuzhen and her husband were confused as to why the old man and Gu Dechang asked for Gu Jin's opinion.

However, there is food at home and we can share some of it with them, so the two of them won’t take it for nothing.

Gu Qiuzhen took out a bulging bag of money wrapped in a handkerchief from her bosom and glanced at her elder brother, his wife and the old man: "Dad, Hong Guo and I won't take the food from home for free. We will buy it at the previous price."

"Little sister, what are you talking about? We are all family, so it doesn't matter what the money is. Just take the food. Jiajie and I will go to the kitchen and bring it to you."

Gu Dechang stood up and waved to Gu Jiajie who was not far away.

Since Jin Yatou agreed, he no longer had any worries.

After the father and son left, Mr. Gu remained silent, puffing on his pipe.

Chen Hong sat obediently in her seat, counting on her fingers, not saying a word and remaining very silent.

Xia Jinlei suddenly said, "Mom, these cookies are delicious."

He held up the unwrapped biscuits in his hand, shook them at Gu Qiuzhen, and a happy, bright smile appeared on his face.

The boy, who was already twelve years old, had an expression of pure joy on his face.

Gu Qiuzhen had already seen the calcium milk and biscuits in his hands. Her son had drunk the calcium milk several times, but they didn't recognize the packaging of the biscuits.

She walked over to her son and asked him, "Who gave this to you?"

"Sister Jin gave it to me."

Hearing this, Gu Qiuzhen looked at Gu Jin and said, "You kid just gave me money but you didn't want it. You gave Xiaolei this expensive thing."

As she spoke, she took out money again, changing the previous two dollars into five dollars: "Take this money, I only see you a few times a year, don't refuse it anymore."

Gu Qiuzhen ignored Gu Jin's refusal, stuffed the money into her arms, and pulled Xia Jinlei back to his seat.

Holding the five dollars in his arms, Gu Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But this time she didn't refuse, and handed five yuan to An Mingji beside her, whispering, "Son, use this to buy some candy."

“…”

An Mingji, who was stuffed with five dollars, looked confused.

However, the actions between the two were seen by everyone present.

Old Master Gu, Chen Hong, and Gu Minmin have long known the goodness of Gu Jinsui and An Mingji, and they also know that she treats An Mingji as her own precious child.

But Gu Qiuzhen, Xia Hongguo and Xia Jinlei, their family of three, were not clear about this.
