"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. For those of you who are celebrating the New Year, let's not talk about this. Let's skip this one for now. Come on, here are melon seeds and peanuts. You all can eat some."

Liu Lifen grabbed a handful of melon seeds and peanuts and stuffed them into Gu Daquan's hands.

Gu Daquan quickly caught it with both hands.

There was a lot of it, so Gu Daquan put it all on the table temporarily, planning to eat it later. It's not easy to hold in your hands and it's easy to drop.

In a blink of an eye, Liu Lifen saw several children sitting aside, so she picked up the plate with loose candies on the table and handed it to the children.

"Here, here is some candy. Each of you take two pieces and eat them, sweet mouths."

Before the children could take it, Gu Daquan reached out to block the plate and refused:

"Auntie, no need. You can keep this candy for yourself, or give it to the children at home to sweeten."

Liu Lifen was unhappy and slapped Gu Daquan's blocking hand away:

"Oh, what's the matter with you? I am your aunt, and these children have to call me great aunt. What's wrong with giving me a few pieces of candy? The children in the family have enough to eat, and there is no need for these pieces of candy to sweeten their mouths. "

After saying that, he handed the candy to several children again:

"Here, kids, take two."

Grandpa's prestige in the hearts of several children was so strong that they didn't dare to take it for a while and looked at Gu Daquan one after another.

Liu Lifen also noticed the gazes of several children and immediately urged:

"My great-aunt gives it to you, just take it. Don't worry about your grandpa, he's just too polite."

Several children still did not move.

Gu Daquan felt helpless. He obviously wanted to do it for Liu Lifen's sake and he didn't want to cost her too much.

After all, Liu Lifen's family doesn't have much money. Even this kind of bulk candy is only available during the holidays, and the children at home are probably greedy for it.

These days, when you usually visit other people's homes, you don't touch the candies on the table.

After all, no one is well-off, so the candies displayed during festivals and festivals are all for the sake of appearance, and in the end, the family members eat them themselves.

Even if it is melon seeds and peanuts, I will not eat too much. This is also the established practice of the brigade.

However, Liu Lifen had already talked about this, and if she refused any more, she would be disrespectful.

So he nodded to the children:

"Your great-aunt gives it to you, just take it."

Only then did a few children dare to stretch out their hands.

Gu Ning was the last one to take the candies. Her turn came after the brothers and sisters in front had finished taking them.

Liu Lifen had long noticed this little girl who was dressed completely different from other children.

After she finished taking the candy, Liu Lifen smiled and touched her head and asked:

"Ning Ning, why are you dressed up so beautifully today? Did you dress up specially to pay New Year's greetings to your great aunt?"

Gu Ning's little eyes rolled, and after thinking for a while, she decided to tell a white lie.

"Of course. Because I am coming to my great-aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings today, I got up early in the morning to dress up. I specially wore new clothes and new shoes today, and my mother even made two braids for me."

As expected, Liu Lifen was made to laugh and was very satisfied:

"Oh, I didn't expect our Ningning to be so carefully prepared today. Auntie is very happy."

Seeing Liu Lifen's reaction, Gu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course she couldn't tell the real reason directly. Although she is young, she already knows the art of speaking.

At this time, of course, you cannot directly tell the real reason, which can easily turn off the fun.

And in fact, she wasn't lying. After all, if it weren't for the fact that she was going out to pay New Year's greetings today, she wouldn't have worn new clothes or shoes at all, let alone dressed up carefully.

After all, when staying at home, what you want to look good at is comfort.

Although it is not the main reason, it does have a certain influence.

Thinking of this, Gu Ning suddenly felt no guilty and felt confident.

But others don't know it, and Gu Xian doesn't know it either.

She obviously dressed up like this to match her pair of sheepskin boots, not to pay Liu Lifen New Year greetings at all.

But he didn't expose her, he just looked at Gu Ning's clever look in amusement.

At this time, Gu Ning was already chatting with Liu Lifen in full swing. The man's bratty appearance made Liu Lifen smile from ear to ear.

"Oh, why are you such a lovable kid? You are not yet two years old, and you can speak so fluently. You are so smart!"

Liu Lifen pinched Gu Ning's little face gently and couldn't put it down.

Gu Ning didn't answer, but looked at Liu Lifen with a smile.

Liu Lifen didn't care. She turned to look at Gu Xian and asked:

"Gu Xian, you taught her like this, how come Ning Ning is so smart? She is so brat-like. You have to know that other children in the brigade can't even speak clearly when they are the same age as her."

Gu Xian smiled:

"We don't have any secrets, just give her good food and drink. This child is still growing, so she needs more nutrients. With enough nutritional supplements, she will develop faster, and she will naturally learn to speak faster. "

Liu Lifen nodded, feeling that this was reasonable:

"I understand when you say that. It seems that I will give my children more food and drink in the future, so that they will be smarter in the future."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh:

"Oh, it's a pity that the school is closed now. Otherwise, I would give my children more nutrition and brain supplements now. Let's bite the bullet and send them all to study. Maybe we can even produce a technical secondary school student. Then we will allocate them after graduation. Work, get an iron rice bowl, and our family will have a city citizen."

As soon as the school suspension was mentioned, Gu Mu and Gu Li were worried.

Gu Li lowered his head, unable to hide the disappointment in his eyes.

His grades were good. If the high school entrance examination had not been cancelled, it was basically certain that he would be admitted to the technical secondary school.

Who would have thought that after studying for so many years, the exams would be coming soon, and the high school entrance exams would suddenly be cancelled.

He studied hard for so many years just to get an iron rice bowl and become a city man.

His family also had great expectations for him, but in the end it all came to nothing, and he had to go home to farm in the end.

It was impossible for Gu Mu to give up his job to him. Although his household registration is an urban one, he cannot support himself with just a fixed monthly share of rations.

Moreover, he has been working for so many years and his qualifications are not low. He earns a monthly salary of more than 30 yuan.

If you give him the job, your monthly salary will become 18 yuan. The family's income will be greatly reduced, and life will not be so easy.

What's more, what would Gu Zheng do if he gave him his salary? They are all sons. If he favors one over the other, Gu Zheng will definitely complain. After all, who wants to farm at home when you can be a worker?

Gu Mu was also worried.

Originally, the family had a good plan. After the eldest son was admitted to a technical secondary school, he could be assigned a job and move his household registration to the city. The family will also have an extra income and will be much more comfortable.

Unfortunately, the high school entrance examination was suddenly canceled, disrupting all their plans.
