Xin Xiuxin was pulled by his sister's sleeve and did not dare to struggle for fear of hurting her.
There was no choice but to be dragged in.
He was secretly glad that he had taken his two taels of private money with him when he went out in case of any accidents.
Although not much.
But buying a few sets of the cheapest pens, ink, paper and inkstone should be enough... right?
Just as Xin Xiuxin was thinking this, he saw his sister pointing at a jade-colored inkstone on the counter:
"Boss, let me take a look at this."
The shopkeeper looked up at her but didn't refuse.
He carefully lifted the inkstone with both hands and placed it on the table.
"Miss, please."
Xin Guoguo touched the inkstone, picked it up and looked at it, then put it down again:
"How much is this inkstone?"
"Twenty taels."
The shopkeeper's offer almost made Xin Xiuxin gasp for breath.
He hurried forward: "Well, sister, let's look at something else?"
Xing Guoguo turned her head and smiled at him:
"Please, boss, get me four of these. And some good rice paper."
"Okay!" The shopkeeper smiled happily.
This is a big customer!
"Little sister..." Xin Xiuxin felt that he was having difficulty breathing.
He leaned over to his sister and said, "This is too expensive. Let's get something cheaper, shall we? Besides, we don't need to buy so much."
"I need it."
Xin Xiuxin smiled bitterly, his sister really spent too much money.
He had no choice but to remind her quietly:
"Little sister, Fifth Brother doesn't have enough money. How about we buy it next time?"
The money he brought with him was not enough to even afford a fraction of it!
He worked hard to make money after he returned!
I’ll try to let my sister buy whatever she wants in the future!
Hearing what he said, Xin Guoguo felt a little amused and a little touched.
She patted Fifth Brother's shoulder gently:
"Fifth brother, don't worry, I have money."
"You have money? How much can you have... Oh my god!"
Their family conditions are there.
Although it is slightly better than other families, it is still just as poor.
Even if his parents gave all their money to his younger sister, Xin Xiuxin didn't think there would be much left, at most a hundred taels.
But when he saw his sister take out a purse from her bosom and take out two silver notes of one hundred taels from it, Xin Xiuxin was shamefully envious.
While his brother was still secretly happy because he only had two taels of silver, his sister had already started squandering two hundred taels!
etc!
If he saw correctly, the little sister still had the same one in her hand?!
In other words, I have at least three hundred taels of silver in my hand now?!
Oh my god!
Xin Xiuxin admitted that he was jealous.
The shopkeeper packed up the pens, ink, paper, and inkstone specified by Xin Guoguo, as well as a few literacy books.
He took the banknote and gave Xin Guoguo the change.
Xin Guoguo handed the packed things to Xin Xiuxin.
Xin Xiuxin took it woodenly.
Then, he followed his sister woodenly.
He left the bookstore woodenly.
It was not until a heat wave swept over that Xin Xiuxin gradually came to his senses.
When I looked up, I saw that my sister was in front of me, already quite a distance away from me.
He hurried to catch up.
I went up to my sister and asked her:
"Little sister, you..."
He wanted to ask, where did you get so much money? Did your parents give it to you?
But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly stopped.
Even if it was given by my parents, so what?
At most, he just felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking halfway through, Xin Guoguo knew what he was going to ask and said with a smile:
"This is what I've earned these past few days! This month I'm paid daily. Next month, I'll be paid monthly."
"ah?!"
Xin Xiuxin didn't react at first.
His emotions were originally still stuck on "my parents don't love me, they don't care about me."
When I suddenly heard my sister say this, I was completely stunned.
Xing Guoguo rolled her eyes at him:
"Where do you think I came from? Did my parents give me money? They've been digging for food all their lives, and they even paid for your education when you were little. How much money do you think they have?"
At most, I can save a few dozen taels, which is already a lot.
Considering the speed at which the original owner spent money in the past few years, and the money the family has spent on marrying off the brothers and raising children in recent years, it would be a lot for the old couple to have twenty taels left in their hands now!
Xin Xiuxin was enlightened by his sister's words.
yes!
How much money can a farmer save after working hard all his life?
What’s more, there’s a whole family to eat and drink with!
But then, Xin Xiuxin became even more envious:
"Little sister, what kind of work do you do in the county town? Do you think Fifth Brother is capable of doing it? Can he do it?"
If I remember correctly, my younger sister said that day that she would come to the county to work in the future. It has been less than seven days since then, right?
Even if you calculate it based on seven days, earning three hundred taels of silver is incredible!
Three hundred taels!
He's afraid he won't be able to earn that much money in his entire life!
Xin Guoguo paused.
He looked this fifth brother up and down.
Xin Xiuxin let his sister look at him with bright eyes, expecting her to nod.
Xing Guoguo rubbed his chin.
Not to mention, the job of a makeup artist is done by both men and women in later generations.
Tony's makeup artist is also very popular on the street.
However, this is ancient times.
"It's not impossible, it just depends on whether you can swallow your pride."
Xin Guoguo curled the corners of her mouth, and a hint of cunning flashed across her eyes.
It’s not impossible to let my fifth brother be the first Tony teacher in Daewoo Dynasty!
This is definitely of epoch-making significance!
