Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

Now the third sister also goes to work, and the first ones to come home are the children who are going to school.

As soon as school is over, Miao Miao takes her younger brother home. Other quiet and studious children will also walk with them, chatting about interesting things or studying on the way.

Da Zhuang was with Gu Nianjun and Er Zhuang. Anyway, Miao Miao and his younger brother were not in danger, and they did not need to be escorted at all times.

They usually spend most of their time at home reading magazines and assembling radios. Sometimes they play games and collect firewood with their classmates.

Today, Gu Nianjun invited Da Zhuang and the others to collect firewood together, "We don't have enough firewood at home."

Erzhuang: "Brother Nianjun, no matter what conditions we have, you still collect firewood?"

Gu Nianjun: "Then the solar stove can't be used at night. Doesn't it mean we have to light a fire to burn the kang in the cold winter?"

Now I use the solar stove when I need to cook a lot of firewood at home. It’s really easy to use, but the pot stove is definitely more convenient in the morning and evening.

Erzhuang: "I won't talk about this. We all have money, but you still collect firewood by yourself? Do you think it's a loss?"

Gu Nianjun: "No matter how rich you are, why don't you make a fire and cook?"

Erzhuang sighed, "Brother Nianjun, think about it, my mother didn't go to collect firewood in the first place. Did she give you money to collect it?"

Gu Nianjun nodded, "Yes, I am also happy to collect firewood for my aunt without paying for it."

Erzhuang: "Then you can't imitate my mother and give others money to pick them up?"

Gu Nianjun's eyes widened and he refused decisively, "How can I give my money to others!"

Da Zhuang: "It's not for others, it's just to buy firewood, just like buying rations."

Gu Nianjun firmly disagreed, "Is buying rations the same as buying firewood? Rations are necessary. If you don't eat, you will starve to death. Why spend money to buy firewood when you can pick it up yourself?"

Da Zhuang was also a little reluctant, spending money to buy food and bicycles was necessary, and he could indeed pick up the firewood.

Erzhuang saw that the two of them were a little confused and was very anxious, "You can only pick up a bundle of firewood in half a day. This bundle of firewood costs five cents and ten cents at most, right?"

Gu Nianjun: "Isn't this good? How many cents do you make for a day's work? You can save a cent by picking up a bundle of firewood yourself."

Erzhuang: "We spent half a day collecting firewood assembling radios. Wouldn't we make more money by selling them?"

Da Zhuang: "We don't have that many radios to assemble. We can only do three or four a month."

Gu Nianjun: "Yes, we are just idle the rest of the time. What's wrong with collecting firewood?"

Erzhuang: "It's tiring to collect firewood and it's a waste of time. Why not spend a little money to buy it? Let's use this time for other things."

Gu Nianjun: "Isn't it a waste of time to do other things?"

Er Zhuang shut up and rolled his eyes, "I'm not going to collect firewood anyway, so you can just go."

There is something wrong with collecting firewood on a cold day!

It costs only a dime, and it’s done, no need to use it!

Dazhuang saw that Erzhuang wouldn't go, so he didn't want to go either, so he persuaded Gu Nianjun, "I'll take out two cents and buy two bundles of firewood, one bundle for each of our families."

Gu Nianjun hurriedly said no, he could go with the others.

Many boys in the class go to the mountains and woods behind to collect firewood after school. The local mountains are not high, but the area is large, with many shrubs, deciduous trees, etc. growing on them.

Sometimes you can also use a sickle to cut those shrubs, but many of them have thorns, so be careful.

Gu Nianjun went to collect firewood with other boys.

Er Zhuang hugged Dazhuang and said with a smile: "Brother, you are my brother."

Da Zhuang pulled him away and said, "The money to buy firewood will be deducted from your pocket money."

Er Zhuang nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I don't mind."

In the past, he didn't have even five cents of pocket money throughout the year, but now his parents give it to him, his third aunt gives it to him, Doctor Lou and Doctor Qian also give it to him if they like it. Brother Yuhui comes and gives him his pocket money, and he also gives it to him after he sells the radio. He has a lot of pocket money. , let alone a dime, he is not bad for a dollar.

In fact, Gu Nianjun also has money, but he is reluctant to spend it. He feels like spending every penny will cost him his life. Erzhuang thinks that Gu Nianjun can't do this. If he doesn't spend money to make money, isn't he a fool?

If you don’t spend money to make money, why do you make it?

If making money doesn't improve your life, why are you making money?

He shouted happily: "Go home and read the pictorial."

Now that they are older, they both love reading. Although the types of books they like to read are different, both parents support it.

Usually Xia Mingshuang would go home to buy books, Gu Yunshan would also go home to get them, and Lou Yuhui would bring a lot of books and magazines every time he came over.

In addition to regular storybooks, novels, children's illustrated magazines, etc., there are also magazines and illustrated magazines from the world of science fiction, science, medicine, etc., and even back issues of foreign magazines.

These special books were brought back by Gu Yunshan and Lou Yuhui.

The first time he read this kind of book, Erzhuang noticed that his father's name was on it. When he asked, he found out that his father had translated many professional and complex articles!

They were shocked when they discovered this, and pulled Gu Yunshan to ask for confirmation.

Gu Yunshan casually told them that he had been short of money for a while, so he helped translate some foreign books. Normally, he would be given two or three yuan for a thousand words, and he would be given five yuan for a thousand words, so he made some extra money.

The children's admiration for Gu Yunshan reached a new peak, making both Miaomiao and Erzhuang want to learn foreign languages, read foreign books or be able to translate them.

Now Erzhuang and Miaomiao are obsessed with learning English. If they have anything to do, they go to Dr. Lou and Dr. Qian for advice.

Doctor Qian is worse. After all, he has never been abroad, but Doctor Lou has returned from studying abroad. He can not only speak English but also other foreign languages.

Da Zhuang is not interested in learning foreign languages. He has not learned Chinese well yet. What foreign language should he learn?

However, Gu Yunshan said that there are many top-notch knowledge in foreign countries, and if you learn a foreign language, you can find ways to learn advanced foreign scientific knowledge.

Although Da Zhuang doesn't have the ideal to learn top scientific knowledge and do whatever he wants, since his father said so, he felt that he must learn it.

Dad said that the reason why he knows so much is that he reads a lot of books, not only domestic books but also foreign books. It is okay to read some knowledge books within the scope of the policy, especially science, medicine, and agriculture.

When the two brothers arrived home, they found Miao Miao and Zaizai talking to a man in the yard while eating boiled sweet potatoes.

The sweet potatoes were cooked soft and sweet, and honey oozed out, making them smell sweet.

Da Zhuang frowned and was about to ask who the man was, but Er Zhuang rushed to ask: "Are you Uncle Han?"

Han Shunong smiled and said: "Yes, I arrived at noon." He pointed at the solar stove and said happily: "What an amazing invention. Look at these roasted sweet potatoes, they are so delicious."

Da Zhuang then put down his guard and went over to eat sweet potatoes with them.

He exercises a lot and gets hungry quickly. He usually has to eat something to cushion his stomach when he gets home from school.

While eating sweet potatoes, Captain Gu came over carrying half a bag of ground cornmeal.

Although Han Shunong came with rations, Accountant Liu said that most of them were dried melons, which the Xia and Ming families basically didn't eat. When Han Shunong ate at her house, wouldn't she have to subsidize it?

We can't let Xia Mingshuang suffer.
