Chapter 18

In this era of scarcity of resources, if anyone has a well in their home, it will be an old cow. If there is no water in the shallow well, if conditions permit, they will definitely go deeper.

Gao Yueyang went to the well to try his luck by virtue of his edification in later generations.

Zhou Lingling, on the other hand, just lacked such rich experience and wide-open brains. She always thought that her belongings were buried in the ground, so waiting for her would only be fruitless.

When Gao Yueyang finished shopping, it was already bright. When he went home and passed an alley, he met Zhou Lingling's grandmother. From that direction, it seemed to be the morning market of Nanliuxiang, which is the black market.

Well, you can't pretend you didn't see it!So she said hello softly: "Grandma Zhou."

Mrs. Zhou heard the sound from behind her. She looked back and said in surprise, "Oh, girl Yueyang, it's your turn to buy food again today."

Gao Yueyang smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Mrs. Zhou's eyes were full of admiration: "Well, really capable, let's go together!"

"Well, good!"

"How about studying, can you keep up?"

"It's okay, I can keep up."

"That's good, that's good, by the way, aren't you and my family Lingling both in the second year of junior high school, why didn't we see you two go to school and do homework together!"

"Oh, we're not in the same class, and, as you know, Grandma Zhou, almost no classmates want to play with me because of the birthmark on my face." Gao Yueyang said calmly and truthfully.

"Ah." Mrs. Zhou was stunned, and then immediately encouraged: "

You must not care about other people's eyes, as long as you study hard, you will not worry about finding a partner when you have a future. "

"Well, I won't care, or I won't go to school."

The old lady Zhou showed kindness: "It's right to think this way. In the past, you just lacked self-confidence. Now it's so good, you must insist on reading more and gaining more knowledge."

Gao Yueyang was touched, smiled and nodded: "I will."

The old lady of the Zhou family is still a very good person, but there are many children in the family.

One of the two daughters-in-law is not working, and the other is only a temporary worker. Several eldest grandchildren and granddaughters are all idle at home, and several of them go to school.

If you don't plan your life carefully, the commercial grain you receive every month will not be enough. Otherwise, Zhou Lingling stole a little grain that day, how could the old lady get so angry.

Madam Zhou looked at Gao Yueyang, who had a straight back and a generous back, and couldn't help but compare her own granddaughters.

In the end, I found that except for a scar on my face or a birthmark, nothing else compares.

For the past month, the house has been mixed up by that dead girl Zhou Lingling.

Not to mention haggling over the matchbox, but also swaying a few granddaughters in the family to make trouble, that is because Yueyang is jealous when he sees that Yueyang makes money and spends it on his own, hum.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but want to say a few more words, so she opened the chat box again:

"Yueyang, the girls in my family are really not as good as you. Let them stick matchboxes and push them back. It hurts and itches. I don't know how to reduce the burden on the family at all."

A flash of light flashed in Gao Yueyang's mind, he suddenly thought of something, and the corners of his mouth lifted lightly: "The world is bustling, all for the benefit; the world is bustling, all for the benefit. I wonder if you have heard this famous saying?"

Mrs. Zhou is stunned...what, what?Then slap the thigh sharply:
"Oh, girl, old lady, I don't have much culture, how can I understand it, please be straightforward."

Gao Yueyang "..."

"Cough cough..."

She pretended to cough twice to hide her embarrassment, and quickly explained: "It means that people will flock here for profit, and go their separate ways for profit."

"Your grandchildren are not too young, and they all have their own thoughts. Why don't you give them some wages for sticking matchboxes, and they will definitely take the initiative."

Mrs. Zhou shook her head without thinking: "That's not good, we can't earn less than 20 yuan a month for the work of sticking matchboxes. If we give some more, there's nothing left."

"Grandma Zhou, listen to what I have to say."

"Okay, girl, say it."

Gao Yueyang hurriedly continued to express his thoughts: "As long as there is a benefit, they will naturally scramble to do it, and the number of matchboxes every month will definitely increase. At that time, after removing the little money you gave, the remaining money will only be More than ever, not less."

Mrs. Zhou has lived for such a long time, and she can plan carefully. After Gao Yueyang's analysis, the small abacus in her heart began to crack.

After a while, Mrs. Zhou's eyes lit up, this method is good, grandchildren and granddaughters will definitely not be lazy and go out to play for the sake of money, then...

At this time, Mrs. Zhou smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes: "Ah, girl Yueyang, you are still smart. You really didn't read this book in vain. Grandma would like to thank you first."

Gao Yueyang shook his head politely and waved his hand: "Grandma Zhou, please don't be polite, but I have another suggestion I don't know if Grandma Zhou wants to hear it."

The old lady Zhou hurriedly urged: "What is the suggestion, hurry up and listen to it, don't hang the appetite of the old lady like you and me."

"In order to prevent conflicts caused by uneven distribution of money, for the sake of fairness, I suggest that the more you work, the more you get, and you should record their work every day, and reconcile the accounts at the end of the month."

Mrs. Zhou suddenly patted her thighs again. Gao Yueyang's mouth twitched as she watched, and she was unable to complain. Old lady, you always pat like this, doesn't that leg hurt?
"Yes, yes, I'll think about it when I go back, and I'll start doing what you said next month."

Mrs. Zhou was already a little impatient at this time.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Gao Yueyang's heart was bubbling with beauty.

Gao Hongxia and Zhou Lingling had frequent exchanges, and Gao Hongxia secretly flipped through her textbooks some time ago.

Hehe, did she think she was doing it very secretly?Wouldn't his hair have turned white.

Since she was reborn through the book, she has put all the textbooks used by her original body into the space, and then pretends to practice writing every day, and the font changes naturally and logically.

Zhou Lingling is not very short of money, so I will give her a chance to make money. After that, she and Gao Hongxia are busy making money, so naturally they have less free time and always think about doing bad things.

In the Gao sisters' room...

Because of last night's incident, Gao Hongyun hadn't slept soundly all night. After Gao Yueyang went out to buy vegetables, he couldn't sleep at all, and he tossed and turned for a long time.

In the end, I couldn't help it anymore: "Hongxia, I know you are awake. You want to learn Yueyang to paste a matchbox to earn money to buy pens. I don't think it will work."

Gao Hongxia opened her red and swollen eyes in an instant, turned to face the eldest sister, her face full of dissatisfaction and pouted:

"Why can't I do it, if she can, I can naturally."

Gao Hongyun couldn't help but help her forehead: "Hongxia, why are you so stubborn, do you know how many matchboxes Yueyang has put together this month?"

"It has nothing to do with me how much she loses. As long as you all help, by the end of the month, the designated person will earn more than her."

Gao Hongxia didn't want to hear the elder sister improve Yueyang at all.

Gao Hongyun sat up abruptly, with a sullen look on his face: "You have never helped Yueyang Matchbox, of course you don't know, Yueyang alone has at least half of the [-] matchboxes, and our parents and I are even more so. Rarely intervene to help, can you mess up so much by yourself?"

After she got up and got dressed, she completely lost her patience for persuasion.

Gao Hongxia blushed and pouted timidly: "Then, then I'll be more diligent, eldest sister, you have more time, then..."

"Stop,"

Gao Hongyun immediately interrupted the little girl's next request, and bluntly refused:

"Don't expect you to go to school and then let me help you stick a matchbox at home. I'm busy going out every day to find a job, but I don't have the time to spare."

Gao Hongxia looked at the eldest sister who was holding the washbasin without turning her head out of the room, and angrily lifted the quilt to cover her head.

In the darkness, she secretly swore in her heart that she would never let Gao Yueyang compare herself.
