Chapter 267 What's wrong with your brain?
"I earned it myself." Gu Nan stood on tiptoe, raised his butt and sat on the stool.
Earn money?
Qian Lan looked at Yu Hui.
The latter smiled and nodded, "He earned it himself. Ever since I stopped letting them help in the store, I haven't paid them two dollars a week. I only give them 20 cents pocket money."
Gu Nan and Gu Xixi were looking after Beibei at home and had not gone to the store to help. However, Gu Dong went back and Yu Hui still gave him a monthly salary of two yuan.
"How do you make money?" Qian Lan asked Gu Nan in shock.
Yu Lixin said, "Didn't Nannan buy a lot of comic books? He rented them to the children in the compound, paying one cent per view."
Qian Lan didn't know about this. She went out early and came back late every day. When she went out in the morning, the children had not yet come to Gu's house to read comic books. When she came home in the evening, the children who were reading comic books had already gone home.
She used to think that Gu Nan was wasting money by buying comic books, but she didn't expect that he could make money by spending money.
"What's wrong with you, kid? How did you come up with the idea of renting comic books to people to make money?"
Gu Nan chuckled, it just suddenly occurred to him.
"Look at Nan Nan, then look at you..." Qian Lan looked at her son Yu Lixin with some disgust.
Yu Lixin pouted and asked, "Why do you always say I'm alone?"
Gu Huai and his unit had an end-of-year assessment in December, so they were quite busy with training recently and didn't sleep at home two nights a week.
When Yu Hui and the others returned home with a full load, they saw Gu Huai sweeping the yard at home.
"Why are you back so early? Aren't you taking a day off this week?" Yu Hui asked curiously.
"Dad." Several children ran towards Gu Huai.
Gu Huai put down the broom, bent down and picked up his youngest daughter. "I don't have much to do today. I'll be back as soon as I'm done."
"Have you eaten?" Yu Hui asked.
Gu Huai nodded and said, "I ate. I ate in the regiment's cafeteria before coming back."
In the evening, Yu Hui said that she would go into the city today, so he came back after dinner.
Yu Hui nodded and carried all the things back to the room.
There was still some time in the afternoon, so Qian Lan came over with cotton and cloth and made padded jackets with Yu Hui and the others.
Gu Huai, who was sleeping in the middle of the night, was suddenly startled by something cold and woke up.
He touched the cold thing with his foot and found that it was Yu Hui's foot.
Why are her feet as cold as cast iron?
He had heard from the old people in the village that the woman had cold hands and feet because she had been exposed to too much cold since childhood.
Thinking of how she had been lonely and helpless since childhood and had suffered a lot, Gu Huai felt distressed.
He carefully took his daughter, who was lying on his chest, and placed her next to him. He tucked in the corner of the quilt, got up quietly, and slept at the end of the bed. He held Yu Hui's cold feet in his arms to warm them.
Yu Hui smacked her lips comfortably in her sleep, stretched out her hand and hugged Beibei in her arms.
Beibei turned over and rubbed against his mother's arms.
Before dawn, Yu Hui's biological clock made her wake up at six o'clock.
She sat up from the bed, stretched comfortably, and felt particularly energetic today.
She touched her feet and found that they were exceptionally warm, and exclaimed "Huh" in surprise.
Ever since the weather turned cold, her feet have been cold even after soaking them, and they haven't been warm in the morning. Why are they still hot when she woke up this morning?
"No wonder I felt like I slept so well?"
It turns out that my feet are no longer cold.
"Mom..." Beibei also woke up, yawning and rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand.
Yu Hui picked her up, put a sweater vest on her, and put a pink corduroy round-neck jacket on her. She looked so cute and adorable in that Yu Hui couldn't help but kiss her smiling face.
Gu Dong, Gu Nan and others also got up and were washing their faces and brushing their teeth with hot water.
"I've already cooked the sweet potato porridge." Gu Huai said as he walked out of the kitchen.
Yu Hui put Beibei down, looked at the children and asked, "What kind of cake would you like to eat this morning?"
Gu Dong rolled his eyes and said, "Mash pickled vegetable and meat patties."
"Okay." Yu Hui nodded. "Brother Gu, go mix some flour. I'll go make some pancakes after I wash up."
Gu Huai nodded and returned to the kitchen.
Gu Hongmei knitted until eleven o'clock in the evening and got up at around seven o'clock.
Before, she got up very early every morning to cook breakfast. Because she got off work late every night, Yu Hui would not let her sleep a little longer and would not let her get up so early to help make breakfast.
After breakfast, Yu Hui and Gu Hongmei rode their bicycles to the market to buy vegetables.
There is no school today, Sunday, so Yu Jianshe, Yu Lixin and Gu Dong went to the store to help out in the morning.
Because today is the army's day off, many soldiers come to eat noodles and business is good.
Not only is their noodle shop doing good business, but their braised food shop and bun shop are also doing good business.
They were sold out by 6:30 in the evening, and Gu Hongmei and Qian Lan also finished their early shift.
Although the weather is cold, Yu Hui still has the habit of taking a bath every night because she deals with cooking fumes every day.
After she took a bath herself every day, she would boil another pot of water for Gu Hongmei to take a bath when she came back.
After taking a shower, Yu Hui sat on a deck chair covered with a blanket, drying her hair while waiting for Gu Hongmei to come back.
"Fourth sister-in-law." Gu Hongmei came back, closed the courtyard door, and ran into the main room.
"It's still early today."
Gu Hongmei took money out of her pocket and said, "Today, many people are eating noodles, so they are selling out quickly. The bun shop and the braised meat shop also sold out and closed early."
"This is the money we collected tonight." Gu Hongmei handed the sorted money in her hand to Yu Hui.
Yu Hui took it without counting it, raised her head and said to her: "The bath water is hot in the pot, go take a bath, and go to bed early after the bath."
It's so cold, and there's nothing else to do for fun except go to bed early after work.
In the summer, it gets dark late and it’s not cold, so you can go out for a walk after dinner. But it’s not the same in the winter. The weather is cold, so after dinner and washing up, you can only stay in bed.
"It would be nice to have a TV." Yu Hui wiped her hair and muttered softly as she looked at Gu Hongmei's back.
On this winter night, the whole family should stay at home and watch TV.
Televisions were already sold in this era, but they were not popular and TV tickets were difficult to get, so few people had a television at home.
Yu Hui paused as she thought of something and walked into the bedroom. Looking at Gu Huai, who was sitting on the bed playing with Bei Bei, she said, "Can you get some TV tickets? You can even buy them with money."
Gu Huai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you want to buy a TV?"
She probably hasn't even seen a TV, so how could she think of buying one?
Yu Hui nodded vigorously. "I read in the newspaper that with a TV, you can watch movies, operas, and people singing."
"Indeed, you can, but TVs are very expensive, three or four hundred."
Yu Hui waved her hand and said proudly, "Three or four hundred is three or four hundred. It's not like I can't afford it."
Gu Huai frowned and thought for a moment, "I'll ask the logistics and purchasing staff tomorrow. If you really want to buy a ticket, it's definitely not going to be cheap."
Getting a bicycle ticket or a watch ticket would cost dozens of dollars, and a TV ticket or a plane ticket would probably cost hundreds of dollars.
"As long as it's not a thousand yuan a ticket, I can afford it." Yu Hui raised her chin proudly as she spoke.
Gu Huai thought her proud and complacent expression was particularly cute, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
