Gu Huai didn't say anything when he heard what she said.
He took out two yuan from the dime and handed it to Xiao Xiao: "The agreed seven yuan will be made up here."
After saying that, he left.
Xiao Xiao froze on the spot.
no.
He was so sure that he must have taken five yuan?
She can guarantee that Gu Huai will not be around when she takes the money, but how to explain this situation now?
Xiao Xiao thought of the note in the brocade box again.
If she hadn't opened the box in advance, the note would have fallen in front of Lu Su, and all their plans would have been ruined.
So, when Agu was at home, he knew that he would open the box in advance?
Then why did he write the note?
Of course it was to make her unhappy.
Her acting skills were simply not up to par in front of Lu Su.
The reason why she left a note was just to make her sadness appear more genuine.
Gu Huai has been lying outside fishing recently, and his skin has become a little tanned due to the sun.
Gu Xiaoliu sat next to him, picking at the mud and playing: "Agu, don't your bones hurt from lying here every day?"
She originally thought that it would be very comfortable for Gu Huai to lie here every day, so one day she secretly lay down while Gu Huai was away, but she found that she was not comfortable at all and felt uncomfortable all over.
She couldn't lie down at all, so she might as well come down and run around and play in the mud.
"It's okay." Gu Huai replied.
He just likes to do nothing.
Gu Xiaowu and Gu Xiaoliu, who were used to being diligent, couldn't understand it at all. They all said that hard work makes you rich. How could Gu Huai get rich without working hard?
Huang Cuicui and Gu Zhongyi may not know it, but the girls also know that Gu Huai's small treasury already has three digits!
Such a deposit cannot be found in their village, not even in the village next door, the village next door, and the village next door.
Nowadays, who is not frugal with food and clothing? Their family is the only one who eats meat every meal and eats meat every day.
The little tiger mother next door smelled the aroma of the vegetables here for a few days, so she couldn't help but ran over and asked several times, but she couldn't get any answers and had to leave in despair.
Of course Huang Cuicui would not tell them where the meat came from.
There is only a little bit of food in the pond. If I tell them, what else will my family eat?
Besides, their A-Gu is smart. If she wants to get food, let their big tiger come up with ideas. Doesn’t their big tiger look down on A-Gu the most?
Huang Cuicui was elated, touched her rounder face, and smiled with satisfaction.
These people always look down on their family and look down on A Gu. Humph, finally we have come to ask our A Gu family for help, right?
However, the news about Gu Huai fishing by the river soon spread.
Everyone usually bows their head but does not look up to see each other. Dahu quickly spread the news that Huang Cuicui's family got meat even without using meat tickets.
Fortunately, it is no longer the case a few years ago. Not only did they not object to the transaction, but they also encouraged it. As a result, everyone knew that the Gu family had meat to eat, but there was nothing they could do.
Someone with a keen eye imitated Gu Huai, tied a rope to a stick, and imitated him in fishing. However, Gu Huai had already caught two or three fish, but they were still unable to catch one.
So they blamed the problem on the fishing rod.
Soon, they got the news that Gu Xian from the next village knew how to make this kind of fishing rod, and it was Gu Xian who made Gu Huai's fishing rod.
For a while, it was hard to find Gu Xian's fishing rods, and he was even robbed for one yuan each.
Gu Xian had to admire his cousin very much: "Agu, no wonder you asked me to make more fishing rods early. It turns out you were waiting here."
At that time, after he made a fishing rod for Gu Huai, the latter asked him to make more and as many as he could make, but he was still confused.
Gu Huai only had one hand, how could he use so many fishing rods?
But he really liked his cousin and couldn't bear to make him feel unhappy, so he slowly made some fishing rods in his spare time. There were about thirty fishing rods. Unexpectedly, he sold them in one day.
This is much more profitable than him doing carpentry!
Although he really likes carpentry, it doesn't stop him from also liking money!
Gu Xian took out five dollars from his pocket and placed it in Gu Huai's hand:
"This is the reward from my brother. You can keep it. I know your family's conditions are a bit poor. Take this money and ask your aunt to buy you some pork when the meat stamps are issued this month."
As Gu Xian spoke, he secretly took out a paper bag and handed it to Gu Huai: "This is the bacon our family made years ago. My mother asked me to bring it and asked your mother to fry it. You are all too thin.
, eat more.”
Gu's eldest daughter-in-law is very talkative and has a lot of trouble with Huang Cuicui. She is also worried that the food at home is not good and her children will be hungry.
Gu Huai took it without being polite.
The fishing rod helped Gu Xian make a lot of money, and he was able to buy many pieces of bacon like this.
Gu Xian added: "Don't tell aunt that it was my mother who got it. She specifically told me about this. She said, just say you picked it up on the roadside."
Gu Huai:......
Are they all so duplicitous? Isn’t it good to talk about it?
Although he didn't understand, he still agreed to Gu Xian's words.
Before dinner, Gu Huai gave the bacon to Huang Cuicui.
Huang Cuicui picked up the bacon and took a look: "Where did this come from?"
Their family didn't have much money a year ago, so they didn't have any spare money to marinate bacon. Now they have a little money, but it's almost spring, and if they marinate the meat, it will definitely go bad, so they simply don't marinate it.
This piece of cured meat is definitely not their own.
Gu Huai: "Auntie, she said she picked it up from the roadside."
Huang Cuicui snorted: "I knew it was her, and no one else could do such a thing.
Huh, it's like being a thief when you take a piece of meat, showing off your petty attitude.
The last time I went to her house, I saw the bacon hanging at the door. They were exactly the same. They looked like this.
That's good, I didn't even take a bite, so I rushed it over."
Huang Cuicui took a sip: "She must think that I will thank her. Who cares? I won't thank her."
As he said that, he took out a plate of fried shrimps from the cupboard: "Agu, go and give this to your aunt. Just tell her that we have leftovers and give them to her."
Gu Huai thought for a moment that the village next door was still fifteen minutes away, took the fried shrimp, and thought about giving it to Xiao Xiao and asking her to deliver it.
Unexpectedly, Huang Cuicui changed her mind and felt something was wrong, so she pulled the bowl back:
"Agu, you and Xiaoliu go and catch some more fresh shrimps. This one is cold, so we will send it over warm."
Gu Huai smiled and nodded, then turned around and threw the matter to Gu Xiaowu and the others.
He said: "Auntie specially gave us a piece of bacon to try. She said we can't be short-handed. Go grab some fresh shrimps, fry them, and send them to Auntie's house."
