If Mrs. Gu had used other words to tease her, she might not be so embarrassed, but she couldn't refute this sentence.
No matter how bad Huang Cuicui was to her and often scolded her, she still gave her a bite to eat.
There are so many people in the village, why is there no one else willing to adopt me?
Xiao Xiao understood this truth very well, so he never thought of escaping from the Gu family.
Because running will only lead to death.
Xiao Xiao secretly glanced at Huang Cuicui, a little worried.
She doesn't think she is a girl and has been thrown away, right?
Huang Cuicui didn't look at her, but suddenly pulled out Gu Huai who was watching the show: "Tell your aunt, will you be better than her Gu Xian in the future?"
Although Gu Huai's hearing was blocked, he had eyes and could see what Huang Cuicui said.
This is no longer mocking each other, this is a quarrel.
During the Chinese New Year, if you get into an argument, the food will be cold.
So he said: "I will take the college entrance examination."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
After a while, everyone was laughing and laughing.
Especially the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family: "You know, let alone our village, no matter how many hills you go over, there is not a single person who can go to college.
Do you know Yuan Qi? He is a high school student, already the most highly educated here."
Gu Huai ignored her and repeated: "I will go to college."
Huang Cuicui also laughed, not caring about quarreling with Gu's wife, and touched Gu Huai's head:
"Yes, yes, our Ah Gu is the most promising."
It cost six yuan a semester, and it was useless after studying, so a fool sent him to study.
It would be better to find a serious job, or simply go herding sheep, get a wife and have a baby, and this life would be considered complete.
Huang Cuicui couldn't help but smile at the thought of this.
In the eyes of everyone, this is just childish talk.
Gu's wife gave each of the children a red envelope, and she and Huang Cuicui quarreled while eating.
The dinner table was very lively.
In addition to Gu Zhongyi's large family, Gu's eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Among them, the eldest son is already married and has a baby. The second son is about to get married. The younger son is still young and is chasing after Gu Xiaoliu.
The two daughters were quiet and quiet, watching a few people having fun.
For a while, the children who were trying to hide and hide were crawling under the table, and the adults who were comparing themselves were spitting.
Gu Huai did not join them. He ate very quickly. While they were still bickering, he had already finished his meal and left the table to find Gu Xian.
Gu Xian did not eat with them.
Her wife and children had dinner at the table. Gu Xian said that he should catch up on work, then turned around and went to his own carpentry workshop.
Pushing open his door, there was a thick layer of sawdust on the ground. Gu Huai stood outside and knocked on the door without rushing in.
Dust was falling from the door.
"who!"
Gu Xian was very impatient.
He held the carving knife in his hand without raising his head.
Gu Huai: "Me."
Gu Xian then raised his head slightly, glanced at Gu Huai sideways, and asked after a while: "Who are you?"
He is face blind, cannot recognize his younger brother, and may have a bit of social phobia.
So whenever there is a gathering, he basically won't show up in front of everyone.
"I, Gu Huai."
Gu Huai pulled out a stool and sat in front of him very familiarly: "Brother, I heard that you are very good at carpentry."
Gu Xian lowered his head and just said a soft 'hmm'.
Although he doesn't like talking to people, no one hates compliments.
Gu Huai dragged the stool forward: "Brother, I have always wanted a wood-carved plum blossom potted plant. Can you make it for me?"
Gu Xian's face turned red slightly and he said nothing.
Gu Huai waited patiently before Gu Xian said, "What kind do you want?"
Gu Huai stretched out his hand and gestured: "I want one as big and as wide as a plum blossom tree. Brother, I won't give it to you in vain. I will give you all the new year's money."
With that said, he handed Gu Xian two dollars.
Gu Xian looked at the pile of coins on the table and was slightly surprised.
How much can you buy with two dollars?
This younger brother is a bit too spendthrift.
Gu Xian frowned. He was about to say no, but when he saw Gu Huai, he dug into his pocket again: "Brother, do you think it's less? I'll look for it again."
Gu Xian: "That's enough, that's enough. I'll do it for you for free."
Gu Huai didn't expect that Gu Xian couldn't help teasing him.
"I'm going to finish all the work at hand before I do it for you. If you go back and think about what you want, I'll think about it for you too."
Gu Huai had already thought about it.
Of course he wants to make money.
At this time, the economy is picking up and many companies will sprout.
When a business opens, it will seek good luck and hope that its company will make money and last for a long time.
Plum blossom potting is only the first step. What Gu Huai really wants Gu Xian to do is Pixiu.
Pixiu is a symbol of wealth and treasure. If Gu Xian can make it look good, he can sell it at a high price.
Of course, it was not him who sold it, but Xiao Xiao.
As the heroine, she is even more brave than Pixiu. When she sells things, she can definitely get a high price, and she saves herself the trouble of thinking.
However, when Gu Huai walked in, he took a few glances at the carvings in the room.
They look good, but they only look similar in form but not in spirit. They are too dull, the patterns are very stereotyped, and they look exactly the same.
Such works have no warmth and are not lovable.
I still have to train him, let him start practicing with plants, and then slowly switch to other directions.
Gu Xian didn't know that his cousin had so many thoughts. He only saw Gu Huai sitting there quietly watching his carving, and felt a little warm in his heart.
At first, his family did not really want him to learn carpentry, but they hoped that he could take over his father's class and become a worker honestly.
But Gu Xian didn't like it.
He just wants to be a carpenter and stay quietly with the wood every day.
Later, when he made money, everyone felt that carpentry was a good job and a job that could make money to support the family.
Gu Huai watched him working with his head down, and thought of the description of Gu Xian in the original book - a simple and unpretentious craftsman.
Other than that, there is no more pen and ink.
When he saw this description, Gu Huai became a little interested in Gu Xian.
Since he is a craftsman, he has value. Now it seems that the original book describes it well. Gu Xian is indeed serious about doing things.
Gu Huai stood up, moved a piece of wood and threw it on the table.
Gu Xian immediately frowned.
Just as he was about to reprimand Gu Huai and tell him not to interrupt his work, he heard Gu Huai pointing to the red spots on the wood and asking him:
"Brother, if you use this piece of wood for carving, should you use the red color on it to make plum blossoms?"
Gu Xian was about to say no, this piece of wood should be carved from the bottom up first, but looking at the color of the wood, he took it back abruptly.
Why not?
Looking into Gu Huai's eyes, Gu Xian couldn't help blurting out: "I can try."
For some reason, he picked up the tool and started doing it according to his inner thoughts.
If it were in the past, he would have carved the pot first, then the branches, then the flowers, step by step.
After listening to Gu Huai's suggestion, he carved out the flowers one by one according to his inner thoughts.
