Chapter 4: You are a rural person, which is your original sin
Gu Siqing doesn't think she is very smart. She just has an adult soul in a young body.
The two sisters muttered a few words, then ran home. When they got home, they grabbed a small sack and ran back, panting. Hopefully, Gu Xuebin wasn't walking too fast, or else this plan would have to be postponed.
After chasing for a while, they saw Gu Xuebin in the distance, pulling at some dogtail grass by the roadside. No one was around. They tiptoed over, looked around, and made sure no one was around. Then, Gu Siqing quickly approached with the sack and put it over Gu Xuebin's head.
Gu Xuebin screamed and was about to take off the sack from his head, but Gu Sanjing came up and kicked him in the knee, causing him to fall to the ground in pain. Gu Sanjing squatted down and held him down, while Gu Siqing picked up a small stick and hit him on the buttocks.
Pa pa pa, the crisp sound sounds so good!
"Damn, who, who hit me?"
Gu Xuebin started to curse, and Gu Siqing reached out and pinched his thigh hard, saying it hurt the most. Gu Xuebin screamed in pain like a pig being slaughtered, and didn't dare to curse anymore.
Gu Sanjing was still not satisfied and pinched his thigh several times. Gu Xuebin begged for mercy: "Hero, please spare me, hero, please spare me."
Seeing that the fight was almost over, Gu Siqing glanced at Gu Sanjing, and they both stood up and ran towards the cornfield nearby. When Gu Xuebin took off the sack from his head, there was no sign of him.
He didn't go to school either, and limped home wiping his nose and tears.
The two sisters ran in the cornfield for a while, stopped, and when they didn't hear anyone chasing them, they left the cornfield and ran towards school with smiles on their faces.
Don’t mention it, it feels really good to hit someone with a sack on your head!
When they arrived at school, the two sisters separated. Gu Siqing was in the third grade, and Gu Sanjing was in the fourth grade.
When she got to her seat in the classroom, Gu Siqing took out a small notebook and wrote on it with her chin in her hand: contractor, street vendor, greenhouse farmer.
These were all very profitable projects in the 1980s, and now their family's primary priority is making money. Poverty not only limits your imagination, but also your freedom. Only when you are financially free can you fully realize your ideals.
Gu Siqing bit the pen and looked at the words on the notebook for a while, then crossed out the word "contractor".
Putting aside the question of whether or not contractors are dangerous, they must be knowledgeable about the construction site and have connections to secure projects. Do their families have connections? It seems some of her father's comrades have families with connections, but she has no idea what they do.
Besides, my dad is not the type of person who likes to ask for help from others. If he was someone who liked to scheme for personal gain, he would probably be working somewhere now.
Greenhouse planting is not very suitable either.
Greenhouse farming requires skill and a significant initial investment. If you can't succeed, you'll lose everything.
All that’s left is to set up a street stall.
Clothes are cheap these days; a piece of clothing costs only a few dollars, and a shipment costs only a few hundred. Southern goods are fashionable and will surely sell well when they're brought back.
But she couldn't do it by herself. Her age and the three cents in savings limited her ability.
But how do I persuade my parents to set up a street stall?
Gu Siqing scratched her head. It was really a brain-wracking thing. Maybe by the day she bought the courtyard house, she would have become bald.
"Xiao Si." A dark-skinned chubby boy leaned over to her desk with a grin and whispered, "Let's go together after school. I'll take you to get something delicious."
Gu Siqing covered the small notebook with her arm and said, "I'm not going."
What else can I make? It’s nothing more than roasting a few sweet potatoes and taking out a few bird eggs. I want to be a beautiful fairy in the future and I won’t do those things anymore.
Han Erpang was very puzzled. "Don't you usually run more happily than anyone else?"
Gu Siqing didn't want to argue with a little brat like him, so she pushed him and said, "Hurry up and leave. Class will start soon."
Han Erpang left somewhat unwillingly. He had already made up his mind yesterday to take Xiao Si to rob bird nests today. Why didn't Xiao Si go?
Gu Siqing racked her brains for the entire morning, but couldn't come up with a way to convince her parents to give up farming and go into business. The problem was that she was young, and her words lacked conviction.
After school, I went home with Gu Sanjing. My parents and my older sisters were still working in the fields. The two sisters started cooking, one lighting the fire and the other cooking.
This time, Gu Siqing was in charge of the cooking. While her cooking skills weren't particularly impressive, they were still better than those of Gu Sanjing, who was only nine years old. She had her mother's homemade sauce at home, so she decided to make mixed noodles. She heated the oil in the wok, added the chopped green onions, and then the sauce...
While doing this, she suddenly remembered what happened on the day before her rebirth.
She had a boyfriend in college, but only found out after graduation that his family was wealthy and had some connections. At the time, she didn't feel like she had found a treasure, but only felt a lot of pressure.
Her feelings were indeed accurate. His family looked down on her because she was from the countryside and her family was poor. To be worthy of him, she continued her education and graduate studies despite her family's difficulties, and later worked hard to get a job at a foreign company.
No matter how outstanding she is, her family still looks down on her just because she is from the countryside.
In the eyes of some city people, being a rural person is a sin.
It was her mother's birthday that day, and she brought a cake with her. Her mother treated her like a nanny, asking her to clean the table and cook in the kitchen, but she complained that the food was not tasty.
Thinking about it now, I was so fucking cheap back then!
But she had to admit that Dong Jianan was really outstanding, both in appearance and ability. Otherwise, she would not have worked hard and persisted for him for so many years.
"Xiao Si, the pot is going to get burnt!"
Gu Sanjing's voice brought Gu Siqing back to her senses. She quickly added some water to the pot, watched the sauce bubbling in the pot, and then poured it into a bowl.
I washed the pot and added water, then said to Sanjing, "You boil the water, I'll go call my parents to eat."
Gu Sanjing waved her off, and Gu Siqing covered the pot and went out. As soon as she left the house, she ran into her grandmother, Wu Dani, who smiled and called out, "Grandma."
Wu Dani looked at her coldly and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Gu Siqing didn't care about her attitude, she was used to it. Besides, the old lady hadn't had a good life in her previous life. She smiled and said, "Go call my dad for dinner."
They say you shouldn't hit someone who smiles. Gu Siqing had a smile on her face the whole time, so Wu Dani couldn't keep a cold expression. She softened her expression and said, "When you see your second uncle and the others, invite them home for dinner."
"Okay." Gu Siqing agreed to do it as it was something she could do easily.
After walking for five or six minutes, they arrived at the field where their second uncle Gu Jiancheng lived. Seeing their eldest cousin Gu Xueqiang carrying a sack of corn cobs, they said to her, "Brother Daqiang, grandma is calling you home for dinner."
Gu Xueqiang grinned, "I see. Xiao Si, come and call uncle to eat?"
"yes."
"Then go ahead." Gu Xueqiang waved his hand with a silly smile on his face.
