Chapter 137 Take the money to twist off my ears

Then Gu Qingqing said to Erhua who was ready to make a move, "Erhua, you can't follow me. Go back and look after Sanhua. Sanhua should be waking up soon. She will definitely cry if she doesn't see you when she wakes up."

Erhua's little face was troubled again. She felt reluctant to let Sanhua go when she thought of her blushing face when she cried.

"Mom, I'm going back now. I'll come back to see you after my sister comes back." Erhua said to Gu Qingqing.

"Okay, when your sister comes back, ask her to look after her sister and you come find me. But when you go back, ask Li Xin to come find me on the mountain."

"Okay, I get it, mom." Erhua said as she ran away.

Gu Zhuangzhuang didn't know what his sister was going to do. Seeing that she threw all her things into the pit and wanted to take him up the mountain, he couldn't help but ask, "Sister, what are we going to do up the mountain for?"

"Go up the mountain to load up dead branches and leaves." said Gu Qingqing.

Gu Zhuangzhuang scratched his head in confusion and said "Oh", but he didn't understand and didn't ask.

He didn't ask, but Gu Qingqing wanted to tell him, because her mother came a few days ago and said that she would also plant two acres of winter wheat. Since she was planting it, she needed to apply manure before the weather got cold and froze.

"Zhuangzhuang, you don't have to come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Just dig a hole in your backyard that's not in the way. Just make it smaller and shallower than the one in my house."

When Gu Zhuangzhuang heard that he didn't have to come and had to dig a hole at home, he suddenly became reluctant to move.

Gu Qingqing couldn't hear his response, but when she turned around and saw his expression, she knew what was going on.

He was not angry, but just asked, "Do you know how long the food in our house will last?"

Gu Zhuangzhuang scratched his head again and opened his mouth several times, but no sound came out because he didn't know.

Gu Qingqing said for him, "It's enough to last through the New Year. After the New Year, you won't have anything to eat and will be hungry for two months. Are you afraid?"

Gu Zhuangzhuang still didn't say anything, thinking that his sister was trying to scare him.

"I'm not trying to scare you. Dad used to gamble and sell our family's food. You know that. So now there's a way to keep you from starving. Do you want to do it?"

When Gu Zhuangzhuang heard that there was a way to avoid going hungry, he nodded slowly.

Gu Qingqing smiled at him kindly, "Go back and dig the hole. I'll come when you're done. Also, remember to pat the surrounding walls with stones to make them solid. I'll come over when the time comes."

Gu Zhuangzhuang was just about to ask why they were digging a hole again?

When he heard that his elder sister wanted to go over, he immediately nodded and agreed.

Gu Qingqing felt relieved when she saw Zhuangzhuang agreed.

Because she found that Gu Zhuangzhuang was lazy and stupid, but he also had a kind of strength that it would be okay if he didn't agree to you, but if he agreed, he would do it seriously.

Even if he didn't do it well after doing it seriously, he did do it seriously.

If you fail to do it well, it is a technical problem, but your attitude is definitely not a problem.

Not long after they climbed up the mountain and talked, Li Xin came running over.

"Aunt, do you have something to talk to me about?" Li Xin asked while panting slightly.

Gu Qingqing, who was rake the leaves with a bamboo rake, pointed to another bamboo rake and said with a smile, "I asked you to help me with the work. You use that rake to gather the leaves here together with me, and then Uncle Huaer will carry them down.

"Okay." Li Xin said, picked up another bamboo rake and started working.

It was not until the sun was setting that the group finally went down the mountain.

Gu Qingqing went back to the yard first, made some tofu, and put the half bowl of pig intestines left over from the morning into his backpack. She said to Gu Zhuangzhuang, "Zhuangzhuang, don't steal the things in the basket on the way. Tell mom when you get home that the pig intestines can't be kept and must be eaten today and tomorrow morning."

Gu Zhuangzhuang, who was washing his face, uttered "Oh" heavily.

Wen Wuyan approached Gu Qingqing, glanced at Gu Zhuangzhuang, and whispered to her, "Qingqing, Zhuangzhuang has been busy at our house these days. Doesn't he want to be paid?"

Gu Qingqing straightened up and raised her chin towards Gu Zhuangzhuang, "Go and try and see if he wants it. He refused when I gave it to him before."

Wen Wuyan knew the situation of his mother-in-law's family. Although his mother-in-law only came once every few days, Gu Zhuangzhuang came almost every day. Not to mention thirty cents a day, twenty-eight cents a day would be a minimum. In these days, he could earn at least four hundred cents.

"Then should I just put it in the bamboo basket?" Wen Wuyan said.

"Don't think that he is stupid sometimes. He always checks the frame before going home every day. His mother has told him that he definitely doesn't dare to take it." Gu Qingqing smiled and glanced at Wen Wuyan.

Wen Wuyan didn't give up, "Then let me try?"

"Just give it a try." Gu Qingqing didn't stop him.

Wen Wuyan then turned around and went back to the house. After a while, he came back with a small cloth bag. He glanced at Gu Zhuangzhuang who had his back to him, and put it directly under the basket.

When Gu Zhuangzhuang finished washing, he hurriedly urged him, "Zhuangzhuang, it's getting late today, you should hurry back, otherwise it's not safe to walk on the mountain road at night."

"Oh, I know, brother-in-law." Gu Zhuangzhuang said as he went to get his bamboo basket, and then he performed a routine inspection on the bamboo basket.

Seeing this, Wen Wuyan was afraid that he would find the copper coins he put in, so he urged him again, "There's nothing in the box. It's just a piece of tofu and pig intestines that your sister prepared for you to take back. Don't look at it, let's go."

Gu Zhuangzhuang was not moved at all. After looking through it for a while, he reached out and picked up a small cloth bag from the basket. He shook it in his hand, and after listening to the sound he knew what was inside.

He pouted and said, "Sister, I won't take this, or my mother will beat me."

As Gu Zhuangzhuang said this, he put the things on the bench at his feet, picked up the bamboo basket and left.

Wen Wuyan was defeated and shouted to Gu Zhuangzhuang from behind, "Wait for me."

Gu Zhuangzhuang looked back at him without saying anything, and looked at Wen Wuyan with a look that asked "what do you want to say".

"The money is not for you, it's for my mother-in-law. Take it back."

When Gu Zhuangzhuang heard that he wanted to take the money, he ran away several steps and said, "Brother-in-law, I don't want it."

"Why?" Wen Wuyan asked.

Gu Zhuangzhuang stretched out his hand to scratch his head and said, "Mom said that when grandpa went to help my aunt build a house, he always brought his own food. She said that we don't have much food at home, and your family doesn't need me to eat, so she let me come to work and eat at your house, and she can't ask for money."

Wen Wuyan knew about bringing food.

In the past, many relatives from their village came to help and brought their own food. Some families with better conditions would even send a sack of food.

Building a house is a big deal, and the daughter’s family is worried that her family may not have enough food, so they bring more if they have some, and less if they don’t.

Wen Wuyan added, "That was all in the past. Today you just listen to me and take the money back."

After hearing this, Gu Zhuangzhuang shook his head like a rattle, "If I take it back, my mother will twist my ears off. I'm leaving."

After Gu Zhuangzhuang finished speaking, he turned around and walked quickly out of the yard. The more Wen Wuyan shouted from behind him, the faster he walked.

Luo Meihua, who was rubbing pig offal in the yard, saw this scene and couldn't help but speak up, "Although Uncle Huaer looks quiet, he knows how to comfort you."

"He's a very honest person. He's always eager to do the dirty and tiring work!" Yang Xing'er, who was also rubbing the pig intestines, said.
