Chapter 262 I'll tell you
"I'll buy some wool in a few days and knit two sweaters for you. I'll ask your dad to have someone send them to you." Yu Hui said as she sent Gu Qiuyan to the car.
After the National Day, the temperature will drop.
"Great." She only had two sweaters, and the sleeves of the two sweaters she brought to the army were too short and the collars were all worn out.
Her mother knitted a sweater for her, and when she was on vacation, she gave her allowance to her mother.
Gu Qiuyan got in the car, and Gu Huai started the jeep and drove away.
Yu Hui went to the noodle shop after sending Gu Qiuyan off.
The holiday ended on October 4th, and Gu Dong went to school with the newspaper to show off.
After school in the afternoon, I took a few classmates to the grocery store and treated them to candy.
"I want ten White Rabbit milk candies." Gu Dong took out a dollar from his pocket and slapped it on the counter.
In this day and age, one dollar is a huge sum of money for children.
"Gu Dong, you are so rich?" Sun Xiangdong stared at Gu Dong with wide eyes... and the money in his hand.
Others also looked at Gu Dong with envy.
"I earned all this myself." Gu Dong raised his chin proudly.
"Earned it, how did you earn it?"
"That's right, how do you make money?"
They also want to make money so they can buy what they want.
Gu Dong took the candy handed to him by the salesperson and distributed it to his friends while saying, "I earned all this by helping out at my mom's noodle shop. We help out at the noodle shop in our free time, and my mom gives us two yuan a month. Jianshe and Lixin also get some."
Li Qiang peeled the candy and put it in his mouth. "Gu Dong, does your noodle shop still need help? I want to help too. I don't want much, just give me one dollar a month."
"That's right, does your noodle shop need help?"
He treated them as brothers, but they wanted to steal his job.
"No, my family has enough manpower. But you can come to my house for noodles."
When he returned home, Gu Dong saw Gu Nan and Gu Xixi huddled together reading a comic book.
"When did you buy it?" Gu Dong put his schoolbag on the reclining chair.
Gu Nan raised his head and said, "I bought it this morning. The Monkey King Fights the White Bone Demon is really good."
"Do you recognize all the characters?" Gu Dong asked with a smile.
Gu Nan shook his head, "But I can look at the pictures."
Although I don’t recognize all the characters, I can understand what they mean by looking at the pictures.
"Where's Mom?" Gu Dong looked around but didn't see his mother.
Gu Nan: "Beibei has a little cough, mom took Beibei to the infirmary to get medicine."
Gu Dong nodded, "Then I'll go back to my room to do my homework. When Mom comes back, I'll cook with her."
After a while, Yu Hui came back holding Beibei.
"Mom, is my sister okay?" As soon as he saw his mother coming back, Gu Nan put down the comic book he was reading with great interest.
"It's okay." Doctor Sun prescribed a bottle of cough syrup and said that the weather is getting colder and many people are catching colds, so just be careful not to catch a cold.
She thought about not taking Beibei to the noodle shop in the future. Children have weak resistance, and there are many people coming in and out of the noodle shop. If someone who comes to eat noodles catches a cold, it will easily infect the child.
If you don't take Beibei to the noodle shop in the morning, then Gu Nan and Gu Xixi don't have to go either. They can just stay in the house and watch over Beibei.
Ask Gu Dong to bring lunch back after school.
Yu Hui put Beibei down and went to cook. Gu Dong, who had finished his homework, also went to help.
Gu Nan picked up his sister and sat her on his lap. He read the comic book with his younger siblings and told them stories while reading.
The next day, Yu Hui asked Gu Nan and Gu Xixi to look after Bei Bei at home. They were a little reluctant, but for the sake of their sister's health, they nodded and agreed.
As soon as Yu Hui entered the noodle shop this morning, carrying the green onions and bok choy she had bought, Qian Lan said, "Xiao Yu, I heard from Xiao Tang that your Gu Nan bought four comic books at the grocery store yesterday for two yuan! And your Gu Dong also took several classmates to the grocery store yesterday afternoon to buy candy for them. I said they're ignorant and don't count their money. They just spend it recklessly when they have it."
Yu Hui put down what she was holding, smiled, and said, "Buying comic books can broaden your horizons and develop your reading ability. If one person buys, four people can read it. It's a good deal."
"Gu Dong treating his classmates to candy is a good thing. It can help him make more friends."
Yu Hui didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
Qian Lan shook her head. "Just spoil them. When they develop bad habits in the future, you'll know."
Yu Hui smiled and said, "I know what I'm doing."
At noon, when Gu Dong came back from school, Yu Hui prepared some shredded pork and beef, and made some bok choy soup with soy sauce and garlic sauce, and asked Gu Dong to take it back.
In the morning, Yu Hui steamed rice, minced meat and eggs and simmered them on the stove. Gu Dong brought the dishes back and directly served the rice to his younger brothers and sisters.
After dinner, Gu Dong washed the dishes and went to the noodle shop to help.
Yu Hui looked at Gu Dong who was busy collecting and washing dishes with the Yu Jianshe brothers in the store. How could such a sensible and hardworking child develop bad habits?
When Yu Hui returned home after finishing her work at noon, she saw several children from the compound sitting in the yard, each reading a comic book.
When they saw her, they would look up and call her "Aunt Yu", then continue to lower their heads and read the comic books.
Yu Hui nodded and walked into the house with her apron.
I just happened to meet Gu Nan who came out.
"Mother."
"Where are my brothers and sisters?"
"You were taking a nap in your and Dad's room. I went in to check and you didn't fall off the bed."
Yu Hui nodded and walked towards the bedroom.
When I entered the bedroom, I saw Beibei and Gu Xixi, brother and sister, sleeping soundly in bed.
Yu Hui tucked in the corners of the quilt for them and went out, just in time to see a child giving money to Gu Nan.
"Gu Nan, this is one cent. I want to watch The Three Strikes on the White Bone Demon."
Gu Nan took the money familiarly and said, "Zhang Qiangqiang is watching. You have to wait a while."
"OK."
"What are you doing?" Yu Hui walked over and asked.
"Mom," Gu Nan called out, putting the money in his pocket and saying, "I'm renting comic books for them. They can read them from me. The rental fee is one cent per book. If they want to take them home, the rental fee is five cents, and there's a ten-cent deposit. The book must be returned the next day, otherwise the deposit will be deducted."
Yu Hui looked at Gu Nan in surprise. What was wrong with his little brain? He bought four comic books and opened a rental bookstore.
At such a young age, he already knows about investment and financial management.
"How much money do you make?" Yu Hui asked curiously.
Gu Nan took a handful of change out of his pocket and counted it. "I made two cents."
After renting it for a few more days, he can go buy a new storybook.
After saying this, Gu Nan suddenly realized that his mother would be unhappy if he did this.
I raised my head cautiously and asked, "Mom, am I doing this wrong?"
"That's right." Yu Hui rubbed his head. "You are very smart and have a good business sense."
Gu Nan breathed a sigh of relief, "So you won't be unhappy, Mom?"
Yu Hui smiled and nodded, "Of course."
