Chapter 119: Money Distribution
There was also a letter in the envelope from the editor-in-chief named Yu Jianbai, which roughly asked her to write the sequel to the novel as soon as possible.
Gu Siqing put away the letter and newspaper, then dragged Han Zhengping to the post office to get money. Wang Yueju saw the two of them rushing in and out, so she ran out with a spatula and asked, "It's time to eat, where are you going?"
Gu Siqing ran out and said, "Big news, happy news, I'll tell you when I get back."
She disappeared while they were talking. Wang Yueju took the spatula and went back to the house to continue cooking. She didn't care at all about the big and happy event her little girl was talking about. What kind of happy event could a child of such a young age have?
Gu Siqing sat behind Han Zhengping's car seat, clutching his shirt around his waist with one hand, leaning forward and saying, "I'm rich now. What gift do you want? Anything under ten dollars will do."
Han Zhengping smiled, "So generous?"
"Of course, my sister makes money." Gu Siqing said it so proudly.
Han Zhengping looked back at her. Gu Siqing's ponytail was loose because of her running, and the hair on her cheeks was messy. Han Zhengping couldn't help but chuckle, "Little brat, whose sister are you following?"
Gu Siqing was in a good mood now, not caring about the three words "little kid" he said, and said, "Tell me what you want quickly, there's no waiting after the deadline."
"Then let's use a pen," said Han Zhengping.
Gu Siqing waved her hand and said, "Okay, then the pen."
The two went to the post office to withdraw money and were asked a lot of questions by the staff at the counter. It was because there were basically no children coming to the post office to withdraw money.
After finally withdrawing the money, they entered the supply and marketing cooperative with nearly three hundred yuan in their pockets. Han Zhengping took out a two-yuan Shanghai brand pen. Gu Siqing saw an eight-yuan Hero brand pen next to it and pointed at it, saying, "This one, I want this one."
Han Zhengping did not refuse and said yes with a smile.
"What should I buy for Erpang? A pen too?" Now that she has become rich, Gu Siqing will naturally not forget her friend Han Erpang.
"Buy a notebook." Han Zhengping said.
Gu Siqing thought it was okay, so she picked out a green plastic-covered notebook with a red peony printed on it, which looked very festive.
After buying the things, they rode their bikes home. After entering the alley, they went back to their respective homes.
Because San Jing was home today, Wang Yueju cooked a very sumptuous meal at noon, so she asked Gu Yimin and the others to close the shop and go home for lunch. When Gu Siqing got home, the whole family was already crowded in the kitchen.
Gu Siqing returned to her room, put the newspaper in her pocket and went into the kitchen. Gu Yimin saw her and said with a smile: "If you don't come back, I'll have to go out and look for you."
Gu Siqing coughed, then took out a brand new stack of big unity notes from her pocket and said proudly, "I'm rich now, I'm going to give money to everyone."
Her action stunned everyone in the room. Gu Siqing didn't care and took out a bill and handed it to Wang Yueju, then Gu Jianguo, then Gu Yimin, Gu Erhui, Gu Sanjing, and Gu Xueqiang.
"Xiao Si, are you really going to give me this money?" Gu Sanjing looked at the big unity in her hand, a little overwhelmed. She had never had so much private money before.
Gu Siqing: "Of course." But I don't know whether my mother will give you the money later.
"Xiao Si, how did you get rich?" Gu Yimin asked, obviously worried.
Gu Siqing smiled mysteriously, then took out a newspaper from her pocket and handed it over. Gu Yimin took it with a confused look on his face. Is your wealth related to newspapers?
Gu Siqing pointed to the newspaper in her hand and said, "The second edition, whose childhood was not troubled, was written by me."
"real?"
Several people in the room gathered around to read, and sure enough, the people and events written in the book really looked like the children around them.
After reading it, everyone gathered around Gu Siqing and asked why she thought of writing these things, why she submitted them, etc. Gu Jianguo, however, laughed while holding the newspaper, and said that his family would have a college student. Look, his little fourth child's handwriting was even in the newspaper.
"Do you want to go back to your hometown and burn the newspaper for your ancestors to see?" Gu Jianguo asked Wang Yueju.
Wang Yueju: "Did your Gu family's ancestors know how to read?"
Gu Jianguo: “”
No matter what, he was happy. During dinner, Gu Jianguo even took out some wine and asked Gu Xueqiang to drink a few glasses with him. At this moment, the Han family arrived, carrying dishes in their hands.
Han Deyi smiled and said, "Zhengping went back and told me that Xiao Si's article was published in the newspaper. I thought it was a big happy event, so I came here to celebrate with us. Look, he even brought the prepared dishes."
Gu Jianguo was about to show off, so he quickly took out the newspaper. Han Deyi and Old Man Han looked at it together, and Old Man Han said, "Jianguo, your family is going to have a college student."
Gu Jianguo wanted to hear something like this, but he still said modestly: "This girl is just good at writing essays, but she is far from a college student. But your Zhengping will definitely be admitted to university."
Which parent doesn’t like their child to be praised? Han Deyi and Old Man Han were also very happy to hear his words.
The two families gathered together for a happy meal. At the end of the meal, Gu Jianguo and Han Deyi were both a little tipsy. Gu Jianguo told Han Deyi that the news of Xiao Si's calligraphy appearing in the newspaper should only be known to the two families and not to others.
Han Deyi solemnly promised, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone and it won't affect the child's studies."
After the Han family left, Gu Jianguo said the same thing to several other people in his family, and everyone said they understood.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Wang Yueju called Gu Sanjing aside and whispered, "I'll keep the ten yuan Xiao Si gave you. I'll give it to you when you grow up."
Gu Sanjing's face fell, she hadn't even warmed up yet!
"Mom isn't spending your money," Wang Yueju added, "I'm just saving it for you. You're just a kid, what if you lose all that money?"
Gu Sanjing thought it would be very sad to lose it, so she took out the money and handed it to Wang Yueju, saying, "Mom, keep a record of it."
Wang Yueju: "Okay, Mom will remember this."
Wang Yueju took the ten yuan from Gu Sanjing and went back to look for Gu Siqing. Seeing this, Gu Siqing hurried back to her room, fearing that her money would be taken away if she didn't run away.
Wang Yueju came into the room carrying a kettle. Seeing Gu Jianguo still leaning against the bed reading a newspaper, she smiled and said, "Wash your feet quickly."
Gu Jianguo carefully folded the newspaper and put it in the drawer. He got out of bed, sat on a chair, pulled on his socks, and put his feet in the warm water. He sighed comfortably and said, "Wife, you gave me several good children. They are all very good."
Wang Yueju knew he was drunk, but she was also very touched to hear this. After a while, she said, "It's not good for Xiao Si to have so much money in her hands. How about I go and get it back for her?"
Two or three hundred yuan is a worker's salary for more than half a year. Their family isn't short of money right now, so while these few hundred yuan aren't a small amount, they're nothing to them. But a child with that much money could easily develop bad habits.
"Let's do it tomorrow. Let her stay covered all night." Gu Jianguo said.
Wang Yueju thought about it and agreed. Xiaosi was happy now, so she shouldn’t make her unhappy.
