Chapter 122
After Gu Jinyao left, Guo Baogen went to find Guo Kun.
At that time, Gu Liuying and his wife had left, and Guo Kun was looking through the rice noodles that Gu Jinyao had brought to him in the kitchen.
It would be good to recruit a rich apprentice, and there would be no need to buy food for the next week.
Guo Kun hummed a little tune and put things into the earthen jar, and Guo Baogen came.
Guo Baogen felt ashamed when he heard that these things were given to the master by his junior sister.
The master's life is difficult, and he has no financial means to support him, so he has to rely on his junior sister.
"Master, I heard that the new daughter-in-law of the Lu family also wants to become your master?"
Guo Kun was surprised, "How do you know?"
Guo Baogen: "I was working on the back slope just now. I heard it."
Guo Baogen was naive, but he was not stupid. If he told the master that it was his younger sister who said this, he would be afraid of misunderstandings, which would make the master think that she was involved in recruiting disciples.
The fence in the Guo family's yard has long since fallen down, so talking while standing in the yard can be heard far away, and it is normal for people working nearby to hear it.
Guo Kun nodded, "That's what happened."
Guo Baogen was anxious, "Master, you didn't agree!"
Guo Kun looked at him dissatisfied, "Why, you still want to teach me how to do things?"
Guo Baogen: "Hey, master, master, how dare I. You just came back and don't understand, that person can't accept it..."
Guo Baogen quickly told all the messy things Gu Liuying had done.
Guo Kun saw that the relationship between the sisters was not good, but he did not expect that so many things would happen.
"I know how to do this."
Previously, Gu Liuying wanted to become a disciple, but Guo Kun did not immediately agree.
First of all, he really didn't want to find another female apprentice. Furthermore, Gu Liuying was dressed brightly, so whether she could cook or not was still a question.
So he said he should think about it.
However, after the two people left, he had a second thought. They all returned to the village. He might live in Guojia Village for the rest of his life, and he had to give face to the Lu family.
Guo Kun had already planned to accept it, but now that he heard what Guo Baogen said, his brows were furrowed.
If it is true that Gu Liuying cut prices to grab business, he is indeed a bad character and he cannot accept such a person.
Guo Baogen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his master had listened.
…
Fengyu Town.
In a small corner next to the supply and marketing cooperative, Liu Lin was packaging the last bits of rice krispie treats and handing them to customers.
Today he made fifteen kilograms of rice krispie treats and they were all sold out.
"Sister, I want a pair of cotton shoes."
The little boy of about ten years old, his cheeks were as cold as two red apples. He was wearing an old patched jacket, and the military green liberation shoes on his feet had torn edges, and his toes were faintly visible inside and were blue from the cold.
The child was squatting next to the backpack. He came here specifically to show Liu Lin the backpack, fearing that she would not be able to take care of it when she was busy.
Liu Lin kept the few zero notes she had just received close to her body, and felt heartbroken when she saw her little brother's nose running from the cold.
"Go and prescribe medicine for Dad first. If I have some spare money, I'll buy it for you."
"oh."
The child was obviously a little disappointed.
The two siblings came to the health center, and the doctor took the initiative to say hello when he saw Liu Lin, which shows that she is a frequent visitor here.
Liu Lin took a week's supply of medicine, both Chinese and Western medicine, and carried two large bags full.
After buying the medicine, half of the money in her hand was gone, but she could no longer spend it. She had to pay for the raw materials for the next business, such as rapeseed oil and sugar.
She said to her younger brother with some embarrassment, "Can I buy the big cotton shoes next time for Little Stone? I promise I will buy them for you."
Liu Lei would like to ask about your guarantee number?
But when he saw that his sister's shoes were the same as his own and that her toes were about to come out, he refrained from asking.
The two siblings were carrying their things back to the village. Liu Lin looked around all the way, a little worried that Zhao Xiaogang would come to their door.
Yes, she knew that the man's name was Zhao Xiaogang. She was caught following him last time, so Liu Lin was still a little scared.
To this day, she still clearly remembers his furious look.
Liu Lin felt that he would not just let it go.
She had been a little uneasy all morning, fearing that Zhao Xiaogang would suddenly appear and take advantage of her business, but fortunately there was no such person.
After leaving the town, Liu Lin finally felt relieved. Perhaps after two days, Zhao Xiaogang's anger had subsided and he no longer wanted to argue with her.
Liu Lin was a little lucky that she would not dare to do stalking or anything else in the future.
Now her rice krispie treats sell for 50 cents a pound in town, which is the same as the price at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Although she can't keep up with Xiangkeju, and her business isn't as good as theirs, it's not bad when you think about it. She can earn about four yuan by making twenty kilograms at a time, which means she can earn thirty or forty dollars a month. The family's expenses are the same as her father's.
The money for medicine is completely enough.
It was also because the weather was cold last time that few people came to town, and business was not good, so she wanted to see how other people's things were made and if she could learn from them.
Now that I think about it, it's strange that she can learn a craft that can make money.
Liu Lin walked and thought, and she didn't stop until Zhao Xiaogang blocked her path.
Zhao Xiaogang: "What are you thinking about? How do you want to steal the secrets of our store, or how do you want to run away?"
Zhao Xiaogang had a cigarette in his mouth and looked at her in a sullen manner.
He didn't come alone, he also brought two brothers with him.
The three of them waited here for a while before they saw Liu Lin slowly walking over with a child in her arms.
This woman didn't know what she was thinking along the way. She kept her head hanging down and blocked the road. Then she raised her head in shock.
Tsk tsk tsk, I didn’t expect him to cut him off halfway.
Look at how frightened he is.
Where has the energy and endurance gone from last time?
Liu Lin really didn't expect that he would come to block her. It turned out that this man was so small-minded.
"You, what do you want to do?"
Liu Lin pulled her brother behind her who had wide eyes and was confused, and looked at Zhao Xiaogang nervously.
Zhao Xiaogang: "Tsk, didn't you say I was acting like a hooligan last time?"
Zhao Xiaogang felt very angry when he thought about such an upright and handsome young man being treated as a disciple.
But at this time, he was holding a cigarette, with a joking look in his eyes, and even led someone to stop a big girl, saying that he was not a slut, but no one believed him.
When Liu Lin mentioned what happened last time, she felt guilty and scared, "You are holding on to me because you are not being a hooligan."
Even now I'm still stubborn.
Zhao Xiaogang took out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket and threw them to the brothers next to him, "Brothers, watch out for me, don't let her run away."
After collecting the cigarettes, the two boys naturally worked hard.
When Liu Lin saw the three people approaching her, she kept backing up, "Don't come over here. If you come over again, I'll call someone."
Liu Xiaogang: "You scream, you scream!"
He had chosen this place on a special trip. There was no village or shop in the area, and no one paid any attention to him even if he shouted at his throat.
Of course Liu Lin knew this, so she pulled her brother to run away, but was caught.
"You, what do you want to do?"
In the wilderness, this person doesn't know how to...
Zhao Xiaogang: "Let's go to the police station with me."
