Chapter 43: A fierce light in the eyes
The five-yuan notes were in a stack, and the one-yuan, two-yuan, and five-yuan notes were separated out, and the Great Unity (ten-yuan) notes were put aside.
The three of them were very fast; they had all been to school and had sharp brains, so in a short while, the money was divided into piles.
There were more than ten Great Unity notes alone, and the rest were one-yuan, two-yuan, five-yuan notes plus a bunch of Mao Zedong notes.
Gu Jin picked up more than ten big unity notes and said to the two people sitting at the table with excited expressions, "The total is 483.80 yuan."
"This...this is too much!" Liu Pingyuan wiped his face, somewhat incredulous.
Gu Jiajie's situation was no better than his. He stared at the money on the table with dull eyes.
Ignoring the excitement of the two men, Gu Jin took out eight Great Unity cards from his hand, placed four in front of his cousin, and then placed four in front of Liu Pingyuan.
"This is your reward for your hard work today. If we have time tomorrow night, we will continue to go to Kui City. We may have to go there for several days in a row."
"Xiao Jin, isn't this a bit too much?" Gu Jiajie came back to his senses, frowning slightly.
Liu Pingyuan looked at the great unity on the table with an excited look on his face, which gradually disappeared as his good brother spoke.
He raised his head to look at Gu Jin, and then said, "It's a bit too much."
Without even raising his head, Gu Jin took off the cloth towel from around his neck, wrapped the big unity banknotes and one or two yuan in his hand with the cloth towel, and put the remaining banknotes into a flowered cloth bag, preparing to go to Kui City to get pocket money tomorrow.
After doing all this, she looked up at the two of them and said with a smile: "Just take it if it's given to you. It's fine as long as you don't think it's too little. If you think it's too much, just work hard these few days and put in more effort."
After she finished speaking, she left with the cloth bag containing money and the cloth in her arms.
Only Gu Jiajie and Liu Pingyuan were left in the kitchen.
The two of them looked at each other, and no matter how hard they tried to hide it, it was obvious that they were uneasy inside.
Liu Pingyuan picked up the four big unity notes on the table, reached out and patted Gu Jiajie's shoulder vigorously, "Good brother! I will remember this friendship!"
If Gu Jiajie hadn't been here today, he wouldn't have gotten even one dollar, let alone four big unity tickets.
Gu Jiajie was slapped hard, and dodged Liu Pingyuan's big hand with disgust. He raised his foot and kicked him: "You kid are trying to kill me with such great strength!"
Liu Pingyuan retracted the leg that was kicked, patted the dirt on his trouser leg, and laughed: "I think your cousin is very generous."
He shook the four big unity notes in his hand and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Gu Jiajie took the four big unity notes on the table and pouted, looking like he had gotten a great deal: "You are just lucky, come on! Take the money and get out of here. Come back at the same time tomorrow."
"Okay, thanks bro!"
Liu Pingyuan left Gu's house on his bicycle with the freshly earned forty yuan in his pocket, feeling satisfied.
…
The next day, before daybreak, the chickens outside began to crow.
Listening to the harsh and noisy noise, Gu Jin covered her head with the quilt. She was too sleepy to get up.
However, An Mingji, who was sleeping next to him, woke up.
He opened his eyes, and a fierce light flashed in them for a moment. As he looked at the room that he had been familiar with for two days, the fierce light gradually dissipated.
This is not a wheat stack, nor a dilapidated hut. He is now lying on the bed covered with a comfortable quilt.
He turned his head to look to the side, but saw no one, only a quilt covering his head.
Seeing this scene, An Mingji slightly raised the corners of his lips.
