Chapter 111

Old Li saw that Gu Lin was a skinny little girl, and helped her carry those books to the car.

For the sake of the girl's occasional delivery of money, Old Li pointed to a place in the east that was covered by a cardboard.

"There is a briquette stove in there, see which one you can take away!"

"Okay, Uncle, tell me what other good things you have here, and I'll take everything I can use!"

"To tell you the truth, not long after my elder brother died trying to earn money, I had no choice but to move out of the mountains."

The movements of Old Li's hands froze, and he looked up at the little girl.

Gu Lin said with a smile: "Master, we are actually the same people, you make money by collecting junk, and I collect eggs from villages and alleys!

"My brother went home to see my mother. When he comes back, I'll ask him to make some steamed buns and bring them to you. My brother's cooking skills are amazing. I guarantee you'll want to eat them again!"

Old Li sighed softly.

No wonder, he hit it off with this girl.

It turned out that they were all poor people.

Gu Lin picked out two coal stoves, one large and one small, and then a large wardrobe made of pear blossom wood.

He didn't know pear blossom trees, it was Old Li who told him.

When Gu Lin heard the word pear flower wood, his eyes lit up, and he almost sang a song while hugging the wardrobe.

She doesn't know pear blossoms, which doesn't delay her knowing that pear blossoms are expensive.

A half-sized pear wood wardrobe, two coal stoves, and a stack of books cost less than 20 yuan in total.

That's it.

Old Li also felt that Gu Lin gave too much.

Gu Lin also felt that he was underpaid.

After a war of words, Old Li was finally persuaded by Gu Lin, accepted the money, and promised Gu Lin that he would keep all good things for Gu Lin in the future.

on the way back.

Gu Lin happily sang a song.

Another day full of rewards.

Wang Jianshe kept watch all morning, and only sold five or six catties of eggs. People who came to buy eggs either said they were too small or too expensive.

Anyway, he said everything, and he drove away several people in anger.

I didn't eat when I went out in the morning, and I was reluctant to eat outside at noon, and I had to walk back on two legs.

Wang Jianshe was furious.

suddenly.

On the empty road, there were bursts of unpleasant crow calls.

"Damn it, where did the dead crow come from? It sounds so ugly, why didn't it call you dead!"

Wang Jianshe cursed at the top of his voice.

The scolding came to Gu Lin's ears along with the wind.

crow.

Gu Lin quickly covered his mouth.

She is tone deaf, so she wouldn't be a crow!
Gu Lin slowed down.

When the mule passed by Wang Jianshe, he had a convulsion for some reason, let out a cry, and ran wildly.

Gu Lin was so frightened that he hugged the coal stove and kept calling mules.

Wang Jianshe ate a mouthful of dirt.

By the time he wanted to call for a ride, the mule was already far away.

The mule ran wildly for a while, and then slowed down. Gu Lin grabbed the reins and taught the mule a lesson.

The mule said shaking his head.

The closet was too big, so Gu Lin opened the door directly, drove the mules in, and then closed the door.

When Wang Jianshe passed by Gu Lin's house, he involuntarily slowed down.

"There are too many things missing at home. Next time I go to the county, I have to collect some junk!"

"The rags don't look good, but fortunately they can be used. I'll buy new ones when I have money!"

"Give these books to Xiaojuan, put this wardrobe in my room, and I'll collect some more later!"

Gu Lin was thinking about things while moving things into the house.

When Wang Jianshe heard the words inside, he snorted coldly.

So what if the little girl collects eggs and sells them to the cafeteria, she is not going to collect the broken ones to buy things to live.

Wang Jianshe suddenly regained his balance.

The hearts of the Wang family followed Wang Jianshe, and the whole family was absent-minded from work all morning.

Wang Chunmei was reading in the room, listening to her mother and sister-in-law walking up and down in the yard, which made her upset.

She opened the window: "Mother, sister-in-law, can you stop leaving, I can't even read the book because of the noise!"

"Chunmei, you said your second brother hasn't come back yet, is it because the eggs haven't been sold?"

Wang Shufen's anxious mouth had blisters.

Wang Chunmei said impatiently: "A girl from the mountains can be sold, why can't my second brother be sold!"

"You can't expect my second brother to order!"

"Aren't I in a hurry? It looks like I've already had lunch, and Second Brother Li hasn't come back yet!"

"It takes two hours to go back and forth from our village to the county seat, plus selling eggs, it will never come back to normal!"

Wang Chunmei rubbed her stomach as she said, "Mom, I'm hungry too, what's for lunch?"

"Your father wants noodles!"

"Is there any meat?"

"Where is the meat, you have to take money when you leave tomorrow, and there is no money at home, so there is no meat!"

Wang Shufen was upset, and she disliked Wang Chunmei for spending money inside and out.

Wang Chunmei closed the window, and had no intention of reading at all.

She didn't understand that other people's mothers just hoped that their own children would be well.

Her mother fell into Qian's eyes.

If she hadn't been good at studying, her mother would have married her long ago.

Thinking of her mother's way of life, Wang Chunmei no longer has the mind to read.

Close the book, lie on the bed, thinking about making money.

The Wang family looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally when it was time to eat, they looked forward to Wang Jianshe back!
"What's the matter, didn't you sell it?" As soon as Wang Jianshe entered, Wang Shufen looked at the basket in his hand.

Wang Jianshe was sweating all over his body. He picked up a ladle and dug a ladle of water from the tank, and poured it directly into his mouth.

Wang Jianshe didn't feel so hot after drinking a ladle of cold water.

He wiped his mouth with his sleeve: "Mom, is the meal ready? I'm starving to death!"

Wang Shufen pulled him and asked, "Why haven't the eggs been sold? Didn't I tell you to go directly to that Comrade Wang, didn't you go?"

The Wang family came back, and Wang Chunmei also came out of the house.

All looked at Wang Jianshe.

Wang Jianshe sat down on the kang: "Why didn't you go! I went early in the morning!"

"So you haven't seen Comrade Wang?"

"I saw it, and I don't know what benefit that dead girl gave him. He said that he only wanted that girl's eggs, and he didn't want anyone else's eggs!"

"It must be that girl who did something shameful!" Wang Shufen gritted her teeth, "Or else, that girl spoke ill of me to Comrade Wang!"

"Mother, I don't think so! Why is that good-looking girl talking bad about our family!" Wang Chunmei curled her lips.

Wang Shufen stuck her neck and said: "Why not, that girl can manage the business so well, she must have a better brain than us!"

"Otherwise, why would Comrade Wang not want our eggs!"

Wang Chunmei didn't speak any more, her mother's troublesome energy came up again.

Gu Lin didn't know that the Wang family's eggs hadn't gone out, so it was still on her head.

She struggled to unload the things from the car, then went to feed the chickens and grow vegetables, and went smoothly.

While working, Gu Lin thought of Zhang Guixiang again, and didn't know what was going on at home.
