Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Where are my two children?
That's not right. Isn't the Gu family said to be very poor? How could they have silver ingots? This doesn't make sense!
"Are you stupid?" Grandma Gu said unhappily.
This new granddaughter is good in every way except that she is too generous.
She gave gifts to the entire village right after returning. While being polite is a good thing, she felt it was unnecessary to give out cakes and cloth. Some families even included wine in their gifts! Don't you think that's a waste?
In her opinion, giving ten eggs to a family is a great gift!
How much would it cost to give dozens of gifts, candies, snacks and drinks?
And today, I unexpectedly bought so much pork all at once! Money was spent like crazy again.
Young people nowadays are so careless and have no idea how to live.
You think you are great just because you have two copper coins in your pocket, but you don’t know that even an ant can kill an elephant!
"Grandma, where did you get this money?" Gu Jiayue secretly speculated on various possibilities in her heart.
Could it be that the old lady has another identity?
The old woman of Gu Xuanhai in Taohua Village is just an inconspicuous one among her many identities?
Every night when it was quiet, grandma would take off her patched linen clothes, put on precious silk, and go to various high-end places?
Oh, no, this is ancient times.
Could she be a peerless healer? Hidden in the mountains is her Valley of Healers, where a single stroke can bring the dead back to life. She won't treat a terminal illness, and won't treat anyone without a thousand taels of gold?
Or is he a hero who robs the rich and helps the poor?
…
Gu Jiayue's eyes became more and more weird, and Grandma Gu couldn't help but feel cold all over.
This new granddaughter exudes a mysterious aura!
You seemed quite smart a few days ago, why do you act so stupid today?
"What are you thinking about? Take the money, and don't buy anything for the house anymore. No food or daily necessities, remember?"
"Grandma, can you tell me why?" Gu Jiayue was full of doubts.
"Oh, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, and I've seen more right and wrong, more family affairs, and more than you know. Anyway, just listen to me.
The thing that cannot stand the test in this world is the human heart. Although the old woman has never been to school, she also understands the principle of helping in emergencies rather than helping the poor.
You bought some meat today and wanted to eat as much as you wanted, but what happens when you run out of it? Should you buy more? How long should you stop buying? If you run out of money and can't afford meat anymore, no one will understand your difficulties or remember the meat you ate before.
They will only regret that they will never be able to take advantage of it again in the future;
They would only discuss, look, Gu Jiayue is just like that, they would not bear to eat her meat for a few meals;
They even complain, condemn, and resent! There are so many tricks involved.”
Gu Jiayue was completely shocked. Was Grandma Gu really just an old rural woman who had never left Annan County in her entire life? Why did she seem more insightful than someone like her who had lived two lifetimes?
"Okay, I'll listen to you, grandma. But I can't accept this money, so you keep it." After all, no matter how high your status is, it's not easy to make money given your age.
"Just take it if you give it to me. Don't be so hesitant. What are you doing?"
When Grandma Gu yelled, Gu Jiayue didn't dare to move.
But the silver ingot in her hand was so hot that she really didn't want it.
"Grandma, I..."
"Go out. You have to rest after dinner. You still have to work tomorrow."
Gu Jiayue had no choice but to put the money away, thinking of finding another excuse to return it later.
It seems that the family still needs to be divided! Only by dividing the family can she improve her life and find a way to make money for the Gu family.
Oh, there is so much to do.
There is not much time left in his life, and the first mission has not been completed. He has a lot of money but cannot even eat meat.
Forget it, don't think about it, let's eat first. The task cannot be completed in a day, and getting rich is not something that can be done overnight.
The Gu family was used to being poor, and the habits they had developed over the years wouldn't change just because of a pot of meat. Even without Grandma Gu watching, the eldest aunt still washed a lot of cabbage, added it to the pork rib soup, and scooped it out in a large basin.
A large bowl was filled with white radish, grayish-white spareribs, and green cabbage, which looked quite good. My aunt also fried some pickles and boiled some beans.
Grandma Gu gave her a satisfied look, then placed a piece of pork ribs in each person's bowl. Gu Jiayue and Grandpa Gu each had two pieces, and each of them had a spoonful of broth to soak up the corn rice. "Let's eat!"
At the command, the whole family picked up their bowls and started eating like whirlwind.
More than a dozen pairs of chopsticks were flying on the table. It was as if the delete key had been pressed on the dishes on the table. In the blink of an eye, more than half of them were gone.
Hua Chao pursed her lips, held the bowl, and stared blankly, looking like she had never seen the world before.
Gu Jiayue put a piece of pork ribs into her bowl. "Eat quickly, or you'll go hungry if you just stand there."
Gu Jiayue adapted well. After all, as a teacher, she interacted with those teenagers every day and had already seen what it meant to devour food in no time.
Moreover, their school is a key school with a heavy teaching workload. Not only do students have to fight for food, but teachers also don’t get any special treatment. In fact, they are even worse off than students, because they have to wait until the students have finished eating before they can eat.
But after the students finished eating, there was no certainty about how much food would be left at the window, so the teachers had to scramble for food as well.
After grabbing the food, you have to eat it quickly because evening self-study is about to start and you have to watch over the students and be ready to answer their questions at any time.
If you are late, you will be deducted points!
This score is related to salary, and no one dares to take it lightly.
Every day I wish I had a big mouth and a straight throat so I could just open my mouth and pour food into it.
Some teachers are so busy that they don't even have time to go to the bathroom.
Hua Chao looked at the chopsticks and felt that she was wasting her life.
Before I knew it, I had joined the group eating and even snatched a handful of pickles from my second aunt's chopsticks.
Well, I feel a great sense of accomplishment and I eat more enthusiastically.
"I'm so full!" Uncle patted his stomach and looked at the roof with satisfaction.
"Move over here! Don't you see you're blocking your wife from cleaning the dishes?" Grandma Gu kicked her uncle, not satisfied. She had already walked away when she came back and kicked him again. "Get away from here! You're lying here like a maggot! It's annoying just to see you!"
Uncle curled his lips, stood up and went back to his room. After eating, he naturally wanted to sleep, and he still had to work in the paddy fields in the afternoon.
The noisy Gu family yard gradually became quiet, leaving only the bright red sun and the occasional chirping of unknown insects.
"Ah, head of the family, where are our Yuhe and Yuchuan?" Mrs. Li's voice sounded in the room.
Gu Jiayue lay on the bed, feeling helpless.
This mother has some maternal love, but not much.
It had been such a long time since I finished my meal that I only remembered my two children.
Father Gu comforted her. "This morning, Goudan from the Zhang family came to our house to play all morning, and then the three of them ran away together. They should be in the village. They will come back when they are hungry."
"That's right. When I'm hungry, I miss my mother." Mother Li wasn't too worried. As long as they didn't leave the village, the child wouldn't get lost. She just suddenly remembered to ask, and after getting the answer, she turned around and fell asleep.
