It has a different meaning in other people's ears. How can it cost 10 yuan to raise a child? Isn't this taking advantage of yourself?Gu Xi smiled and said: "Isn't it? Although family members in the army can accompany the army, and children can go to the cafeteria to eat when they are hungry, I don't need my brother to take care of them. But my brother married a new wife, and the new wife is going to get pregnant. If Xiao Chengtu Going with the army, it will be bad for the new daughter-in-law to be tired.

Hey... I also told my brother that there is no need to give me 10 yuan in child support, just give me 15 catties of grain every month. After all, the child is still young, and 15 catties of grain is enough to eat, and I can buy 15 catties of grain It doesn't cost much either.But my brother said that he only had 30 catties of food for a month with the army, and if he distributed 15 catties, the food would not be enough.There is no surplus food in the army, let me work hard and find someone to buy some in the countryside.

Hey... our family doesn't have enough food for the elderly this year, and I don't have a food ticket when I go to the supply and marketing station to buy food. I don't know which uncle or aunt here can sell me food. If I don't have food tickets, can I just give money? "

Gu Xi's words revealed many meanings.

First, the eldest brother married a new wife, so he did not want the son born by the previous wife.

Second, if I give ten yuan, I don’t care about the rest. Where can I buy food without food stamps for ten yuan?

Ask the villagers, do you want money or food?Definitely need food.What do you eat if you have money but can't buy food?

Grandpa Li's face completely sank.

"Li Gen, is Li Gen here? I have received work points."

"exist."

Grandpa Li came to the front.

"Li Gen, 1830 work points, each work point is 2 cents, a total of 36 yuan and 6 cents, plus 48 yuan of filial money, it is equal to 84 yuan and 6 cents, right?"

"Correct."

84 yuan and 6 cents, much more than Gu Xi's 13 yuan and 2 cents.The old man's annual income is still good.

"Li Gen, 1830 work points, 10 catties of grain for every 183 work points, plus 240 catties of Li Erniu and 186 catties of Li Daniu, a total of 609 catties, right?"

"Correct."

Grandpa Li and Grandma Li can't eat 609 catties of grain all year round.Originally, children should be filial to their elders, and some food was earned by the elders themselves.But Grandpa Li just loved Li Aizhong, so he got home.He has a strong personality. If in his previous life, he could have cared for Li Aiguo, or in other words, he could have cared for Xiao Chengtu, maybe Xiao Chengtu's ending would not be like this.

The main reason is that he doesn't like the grandson that the eldest grandson doesn't like either.

Grandpa Li took the money and food, and said to Gu Xi and Second Aunt Li, "Call Er Niu and Aiguo to come to my house." Then he left indifferently.

Gu Xi asked: "Why did grandpa ask us to go to his house?"

"Discuss the issue of pension for next year on time, you go first, I'll call your second uncle."

"Let's go together."

When they arrived at Grandpa Li's house, Grandpa Li glanced at them: "Come to the kitchen to talk."

Grandpa Li is shrewd, and the two sons he gave birth to have followed Grandma Li, who are thick and thick.Whether it is Li Daniu or Li Erniu, although they are not honest people, they are real people.

"Sit down and talk." Grandpa Li said again, "I called you here today to discuss the issue of pensions for next year. What do you say?"

"Brother is dead, and there is no reason to ask grandson to raise a son. I will naturally take on the part of elder brother." Li Erniu said.He also has three sons, all of whom are peak laborers, not afraid.

"Although my father is dead, my eldest brother and I are still there, so of course we will take over his filial piety." Gu Xi said.

Second Aunt Li listened at the door, feeling a little moved.A child who loves his country... has a good conscience

"Nonsense." Uncle Li was unwilling, how could he take advantage of this nephew.Moreover, my nephew only works as a teacher and has no work points to earn food. A monthly supply of 20 catties of food is not enough.

"Second Uncle, listen to me. My eldest brother is a military officer. If he doesn't even want to take over my father's filial piety, is he still a descendant of the Li family? Besides, the military officer has money, but if he is rich, he will look down on us rural people. Push everything to Second Uncle?" Gu Xi said again.

Grandpa Li listened, his eyebrows could pinch a fly to death.

"Besides, my brother and I only bear half of my dad's monthly pension of 2 yuan and 20 catties of food." Gu Xi continued, "Grandpa, do you think this is appropriate?"

"Yeah." Grandpa Li replied, no loss for him.He didn't care whether it was the second son's responsibility or the Gu Xi brothers' responsibility.

Gu Xi then smiled again: "It's like this. I only have 20 catties of food a month, and I still have to raise my son. Although my elder brother paid Chengtu's 10 yuan a month for child support, but with my The supply of 20 catties of food per month is not enough for both father and son, let alone 10 catties of food for the elderly every month."

"What do you mean by that?" Grandpa Li narrowed his eyes, this grandson...he underestimated it.

Gu Xi had a harmless smile on his face, but his eyes gradually turned cold: "Now the finest rice costs 1 yuan per 5 catties. According to my elder brother, money can replace food, so I will also use this as a reference. Give grandpa 1 yuan a month, plus 5 yuan for child support, which means 1 yuan a month and 2 yuan a year, right?"

Snapped……

Grandpa Li slapped the table fiercely: "You are very calculating."

Gu Xi raised his eyebrows: "What did grandpa mean at the door of the village committee office just now? Elder brother paid me 10 yuan in support, so he can raise Xiao Chengtu? I will support grandpa according to elder brother's wishes, so what's wrong? ?”

Grandpa Li looked at him with serious eyes.

"If grandpa thinks something is wrong, I am willing to go to the village committee office with grandpa and ask them to give you a solution." Gu Xi said, "Or, let's make it simpler, just two grandpa and grandma, the second uncle's family will raise grandpa, and I will raise grandma. "

Second Aunt Li was terrified when she heard it outside.Why is this patriotic person so courageous that he dares to pick on the old man.You must know that although the Li family has separated, the old man actually has the final say.Er Niu like their family will never disobey the old man.

Patriotic kid, when did he start to have such a brain?

It seemed that he was smiling like a ball of cotton, but inadvertently, he went back to what the old man said just now.

This child, I am afraid that all of them underestimated him.It's really worthy of being raised by my sister-in-law. You must know how smart my sister-in-law is.Second Sister-in-law Li has already begun to make up her mind.

The atmosphere in the kitchen was a little tense, Grandpa Li looked at Gu Xi, and Gu Xi looked back calmly.Uncle Li was caught between them and felt too much pressure.He is not qualified to manage his father, and it is not up to him to decide if his nephew has a doctrine.Moreover, everything his nephew said made sense.

"How about Grandpa think about it first, and I'll go back first." Gu Xi walked out of the kitchen, saw Second Aunt Li at the door, and smiled again.

Second Aunt Li looked at him carefully at this moment, she was surprised and said: "Patriotic, you still have dimples, I remember not having them before."

"Have you ever smiled at Second Aunt before?" Gu Xi asked.

"Honestly, I don't remember."

Not long after Gu Xi returned home, Carpenter Li came.Gu Xi decided to take a good bath this afternoon, and he could take his son to the father-son bath together.

"Patriotic, what are you going to do with it?" Carpenter Li asked curiously.

The wooden tub was rectangular, 1 meters long, 5 meter wide, and [-] meter high. There was a hole on the side, which was plugged with a cork.

"Look at it, uncle." Gu Xi said, "I put the wooden barrel here, in this corner, and then dig a hole in the wall, use bamboo to pass through the hole in the wall, and stuff it into the hole of the wooden barrel. If the cork is taken out, Is the water going to flow down here?"

"Yes, but what are you doing here?"

"It's used for bathing. It's dirty and I don't feel comfortable taking a bath in the room. I'll take a bath here in the future. It's clean and convenient."

"Oh, your idea is good. But you have to have a house like yours. I remember that your house used to raise pigs, but now you don't raise pigs?"

"No more. I want to teach, my son has to go to class, and no one cuts pigweed." It is already the beginning of February 58, and by August, the People's Commune was established, and large canteens and big pots of rice began to be established in the countryside. All the poultry raised by myself Turn it over, isn't he helping others raise pigs?

There are still 5 months left, and he still has 8 old hens, 2 pheasants, and 2 rabbits to deal with.Gu Xi decided that when the old hen arrived in June, it would start to be slowly killed.

When Xiao Chengtu returned home, Gu Xi asked Xiao Chengtu to boil water and get ready for a good bath at night, and he went to the vegetable field behind to collect radishes. 45 radishes, a total of more than 90 catties, even a catty a day can be eaten for 3 months, Gu Xi is very satisfied.

After harvesting the radishes, I waited until the beginning of March, that is, after the Chinese New Year, to plant potatoes. The potatoes planted in March can be harvested from mid-May to June.

In the evening, the father and son joined He Kai and took the most comfortable bath in their lives.Especially Xiao Chengtu, he likes it so much that he is reluctant to leave. If possible, he would like to sleep in the tub.

On February 2th, December 16th in the lunar calendar, Gu Xi took Xiao Chengtu into the city to see Li Ximei, Zhang Jianjun and Manager Dai.He went to see Manager Dai first, and gave him a radish, 12 eggs, and 28 catty of bacon.It's an annual gift. Manager Dai really likes Gu Xi as a friend.

I went to see Zhang Jianjun again, but Zhang Jianjun was not there and went back to his hometown.He had no choice but to go to Li Ximei's house.

It's been a whole month since I went to Li Ximei's house last time, although Gu Xi reminded them to exchange less food for vegetables.But there is only food, no vegetables, and this meal can't be eaten.Fortunately, they have also listened to it a little bit, and changed less.

Seeing Gu Xi coming, Mrs. Gao was the most enthusiastic, because every time Gu Xi came back, she would bring vegetables with her.There are 4 adults in their family, 4 catties of meat tickets a month, the meat can be beaten between the teeth, and occasionally the meat tickets are exchanged for food tickets, but they are reluctant.

However, they felt that Gu Xi's family had a lot of food.
