Gu Pei reborn

Chapter 10

Didn't see Chen Yan in the old place, Gu Pei looked at a few misshapen potatoes in the basket, and suddenly felt a little lost.

Carrying baskets and walking down the corridor, Gu Pei smiled and dealt with those aunts who were praising herself while picking up potatoes in their baskets, and when she got home, she collapsed on the bed.

"I told you not to go, but you want to be stubborn, and you are so tired." Seeing her son's sunburned red face full of exhaustion, Gu's mother felt distressed all of a sudden, and poured water for Gu Pei while scolding , "Get up and drink some water first."

"Yeah." Gu Pei sat up, but the cup looked at his mother's self-blame eyes, and said quickly, "Didn't you and dad always say that you started to help the family at your age? Besides, I'll make some money first. The money is for your own use, but it is not as good as you have to hand it in before."

"You kid!" Gu Ma smiled, and then began to sigh again, "Can it be the same as before? It's all us..."

"Okay, Mom! Go and cook, my stomach is growling with hunger." Gu Pei interrupted her mother's self-pity.In his previous life, he felt impatient when he heard these words, so he interrupted him. In this life, he didn't want to see a sad look on his mother's face.To be honest, he felt a little ashamed that he couldn't do anything after being reborn.Thinking about those rebirth novels I read before, it seems that the protagonist has made a lot of money since he was a child.And I... the only thing I know that can help my family earn some money seems to be the house.When I died in my previous life, this area was being remodeled to build the largest commercial center in the city.It turns out that these old households either received money to move away, or they were waiting to move back.I remember that many people have made a fortune, even this small house can earn more than one hundred thousand yuan, but my house was sold long after my father made money.But at that time, I didn't have any special ideas. After all, although I earned less money, my father still gave me some money.In this life, maybe Dad can buy a few houses in this area.

"If you want to sleep, you take off your shoes and put them on the bed. What does it look like lying there?" After washing the dishes, seeing her son staring blankly, Gu's mother worried about whether he was too tired today, but said harsh words.

"Hey...you don't need to sleep, you are in good spirits now." Hearing what Gu Ma said, Gu Pei sat up and stretched, then glanced at the vegetable basket, and said, "I'll go upstairs and have a look."

"By the way, bring back some cabbage."

"Hey." Gu Pei nodded.The roof of this building has long been divided into pieces by these frugal housewives, and vegetables are planted with soil from the mountains.

Standing on the top of the building, looking at the small garden on the opposite roof, Gu Pei was filled with emotions for a moment.The building opposite is a unit building in the community, and the people living in it can be regarded as relatively wealthy in this area.The family on the top floor built another house on the roof. Outside the house is a small garden with beautiful flowers and plants, and creepers crawling on the wall. It is very lush and beautiful in spring and summer.In my previous life, before high school, I had seen that garden countless times.He once thought that it would be great if he could have such a small house.

But looking at it now, many of the flower pots under the flowers and plants are missing. Except for two pots of lilies, the rest are just ordinary cactus and iron trees, which are not as cute as the vegetables on the roof here.

Ah, let's pull some cabbage first, it will be bad if my mother gets angry later.

After eating, Gu Pei and Gu Ma counted today's money together, and as expected, they made more than [-] yuan.After praising Gu Pei, Gu's mother completely forgot the words "we won't take the money you earn", and only left five yuan and tomorrow's capital for Gu Pei, and put the money away.

Gu Pei didn't say anything, anyway, apart from sometimes needing to sell an extra breakfast—Chen Yan actually wouldn't ask Gu Pei for food when he wasn't particularly hungry—he had nothing to spend money on.

On the second day, Gu Pei went to the wholesale market already familiar with the way.This time he also chose several more expensive vegetables.

It’s still yesterday’s place to set up the vegetables, and Gu Pei just sat there waiting for the buyer boredly, because he knew that when no one was buying vegetables, he was a little bored. Today, Gu Pei dug out a book with yellowed pages from his home to pass the time. .

It's just that there is a little girl who sells newspapers standing next to Gu Pei today, shouting things like "Evening News Metropolis Daily" when she has nothing to do, which makes Gu Pei feel a little annoyed.But he couldn't say anything to her, and he was too lazy to change places so he had to bear it.

There were more people buying newspapers than vegetables, and before twelve o'clock, the newspapers in the little girl's hand were sold out.Seeing the little girl happily picking up the money and shaking her arms, Gu Pei suddenly became more active. Thinking about it, Gu Pei smiled and greeted the little girl: "Sold out?"

"Yeah." The little girl smiled shyly at Gu Pei.

"Selling newspapers seems to be much easier. I'll sell newspapers tomorrow. Where are you getting the newspapers?" Gu Pei asked, handing a cucumber to the little girl.Of course, he didn't want to sell newspapers. A newspaper costs [-] cents, so he probably won't make much money.It's just that he thought of Chen Yan, that child who was only eight or nine years old. If he was allowed to pick up trash all the time, then he might only be like this for the rest of his life.For newspapers, the purchase price should not be expensive. I will sell some food next weekend, and then I will go to the place where the newspapers are bought. If Chen Yan agrees, let him sell newspapers.

"No need." The little girl waved her hand to reject the cucumber that Gu Pei handed over, and then said, "It's just under the A overpass, every morning at four or five o'clock."

"Then how much is the purchase price of this newspaper?"

"Three cents."

"Is that so..."

"Well, then I'll go first, big brother."

"Ah."

Back home, Gu Pei thought about it carefully, and felt that it should be feasible for Chen Yan to sell newspapers.But Chen Yan probably doesn't have any good clothes, right?After thinking about it, Gu Pei asked Gu Ma who was cleaning the house: "Mom, do I still have my old clothes?"

"It's all in the bag under the bed, and you don't have a younger brother, so I'm going to keep it for cotton wool."

"..." Gu Pei suddenly didn't know how to speak. The cotton on the bed at home was made of old clothes. Although many reports in later generations said that it was "black heart cotton", but at this time, old clothes cannot be thrown away. , can't be covered and can always be cushioned, anyway, it's my own clothes.

"Why do you ask this?"

"Hmm... I saw a trash picker next to our school who had no clothes to wear, so I wanted to give him two." After thinking about it, Gu Pei slightly exaggerated the facts and said, his mother is a kind person, As long as there is no harm to herself, she can usually help if she can.

"It's really a crime..." Gu Ma sighed, "You can take it if you want."

"Ah."

The author has something to say: Well, the two chapters owed on Tuesday and Thursday will be added tomorrow, because I don’t know why my back hurts from sitting today.

In addition, I would like to ask if it is acceptable to update every other day, more than [-] words, because sometimes I really want to play, but if you disagree, I will obediently update daily.Uh...it will be added if there is no daily update, and I still keep my word.
