Chapter 74 A good deal

The days passed by in a flash, and the sky was getting colder and colder. Gu Chunzhu sent a jar of sauerkraut at home to the Xiying Building to solve the urgent need there.

The shopkeeper politely gave a sum of money, which was used by Gu Chunzhu to buy coal and brown rice enough to eat the New Year.

On this day, Gu Chunzhu returned home after selling the prawns and saw Xiao Cheng sitting in the yard, wearing a thin autumn clothes, and the sun just shrouded him.

An An was holding a branch on the mud floor and was drawing something in a mess, and the peach-colored jacket looked particularly eye-catching.

Why is Xiaocheng not wearing a padded jacket, is it cold? Gu Chunzhu touched Xiaocheng's hand and found that his hand was not cold.

It's not cold. He shook his head, but he looked very thin in thin clothes.

Mother, brother he... An An threw the branch and ran over to hold Gu Chunzhu's hand as if to complain, Xiao Cheng's phoenix eyes froze, so frightened that An An did not dare to speak, so she could only bury her little head in Gu Chunzhu in the neck fossa.

Gu Chunzhu hugged An An and shook it, and glanced at Xiao Cheng in surprise. He was the one who protected his sister the most on weekdays, but today he is uncharacteristically.

She stared at her and asked, Where did Xiaocheng's younger sister offend you?

No! Xiao Cheng shook his head and moved his lips, but in the end he didn't speak, his handsome little face was straight and he got into the back room.

So did An An, no matter how much Gu Chunzhu asked her, she would not say anything.

Thinking that the two children were in a bad mood today, Gu Chunzhu rolled up his sleeves and started preparing to make brown sugar steamed buns for them. It happened that the white flour and brown sugar were all prepared at home.

Going to ask sister-in-law Fu's house to borrow a piece of old noodles, Gu Chunzhu started kneading the dough. When the dough was about to take shape after kneading for a while, Xiao Cheng came over with his hands behind his back, as if he had something to say.

Gu Chunzhu raised her head, rubbing her face, sweating profusely, she wiped the sweat with her sleeve, and said, Do you have anything to say to my mother?

Xiao Cheng's brows furrowed.

Well, you go and wrap your padded jacket first, it's cold in the room...

Before Gu Chunzhu finished speaking, Xiao Cheng pursed his lips and said, I took the padded jacket and replaced it with this.

A book with blue pages tied with threads was handed to Gu Chunzhu. She kneaded her hands for a while and looked at the words on the cover. She asked patiently, Do you want to read the thousand-character script?

Xiaocheng glanced at Gu Chunzhu in surprise, thinking to herself, she actually knew that this book was written in a thousand characters.

But it was him who changed the padded jacket out, Xiaocheng frowned and said, If you want to hit me, hit me, but a thousand-character essay costs five coins, and the padded jacket doesn't need to be that expensive, and I do too. not afraid cold.

The little voice spoke very firmly. He was ready to be beaten. After all, he couldn't eat or wear books, so Gu Chunzhu definitely couldn't understand his desire to learn to read.

Gu Chunzhu was angry and threw the dough into the pot heavily.

In the past, I saw all kinds of children who love learning from the allusions and felt that they were really good and motivated, but after this child became his own child, the only feeling was that he had to exchange his cotton jacket for a book. This is stupid, and it is freezing. The body is too good!

She quickly rubbed the face a few times before putting it in the basin, and after washing her hands clean, she broke Xiao Cheng's small shoulder and spoke to him properly.

Xiaocheng, mother told you, it's right to want to be literate, but we also have to solve the problem of food and clothing first, right?

No, I won't freeze to death if I don't wear a padded jacket, but with this book I can recognize a thousand words. Xiao Chengfeng's eyes were firm, and the hand holding the book turned white.

Gu Chunzhu sank his face, and his tone became low, But mother will feel distressed and worried when you see that you are not warm!

Xiaocheng's eyelashes trembled, his head still hung down, and he didn't say a word.

The sound in the kitchen alarmed An An who was playing outside. She ran in with her calves on her feet, and when she saw the book in Xiao Cheng's hand, she already knew what was going on.

The little voice was like a milk cat meowing. Although she was very scared, she still came in, Mother, don't scold my brother, okay?

Gu Chunzhu sighed and took An An into his arms, Mother is not scolding my brother, my mother is reasoning with him. If you don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes, go ahead. When your parents are rich, can you not send you to school? ?

Brother said that he is good at reading, and he can earn a little more money after he knows how to read, so he can buy delicious food for An An. An An looked at Xiao Cheng, twisted his fingers and said, But my brother will be so cold.

A line of tears fell on Xiao Cheng's pale face.

Gu Chunzhu is right, he can survive the winter vigorously, but his family will be worried.

Okay, it's all exchanged. If someone else is willing to exchange it for you, the business will not be a loss. Gu Chunzhu pulled Xiaocheng into his arm on the other side, and wiped his cheeks with his fingers. Tears, Mother spends some more money to pull cloth and make you a padded jacket.

No. Xiao Cheng sobbed.

His original intention was not to make the family spend more money, but to make padded jackets is to spend more money.

Wait until you become a man and then go through the winter shirtless. Now it's frosty outside when you get up early. Gu Chunzhu took off his warm belly towel and gave Xiaocheng a wrap.

He still struggled and refused at first, Gu Chunzhu said: You and An An's belly warmer has already entrusted Yingzi to do it. It will be fine in a few days, and she can still wear the old jacket these two days.

This warm belly towel was her size, of course, it was too big for Xiaocheng to wrap it, so Gu Chunzhu found a long cloth head to tie the warm belly towel so that it wouldn't fall off.

Xiaocheng wrapped himself in the warm belly towel with Gu Chunzhu's body temperature, and his whole body was warmed up, and there was still a look of confusion on his small face.

Hearing that, Gu Chunzhu continued to ask: By the way, who did you ask for this thousand-character text in exchange for it?

Gu Chunzhu saw Xiao Cheng take a small step back, her brows were lightly wrinkled, could it be that she was someone who was very difficult to deal with?

There are not many children going to school in this village, Gu Chunzhu can come up with it as long as she thinks about it in her mind, but she still looks at Xiao Cheng expectantly.

The more exchanges they have, the stronger the bond between them.

I'm asking Xiao... Xiaocheng was talking when the sound of being kicked open came from the Chaimen.

Gu Chunzhu came out with your two cubs, huh, a cheap guy raised a cheap bastard to come out, he's a thief who steals things, do you have the guts to do it without the guts to come out and meet people? Qiu shi kicked the firewood door open and stood on his hips. At the door, the swear words in the mouth are like raindrops in the sky.

Gu Chunzhu frowned. She already knew who this thousand-character text belonged to. She gritted her teeth and said, The goddamn troublemaker is here again. Mother agrees that you won't be able to get this book.

She lowered her head and glanced at the thousand-character text that Xiao Cheng was hugging tightly with him, her eyes flashed helplessly and she went out to deal with Qiu's.

What's the dog's name when you came to my house? Gu Chunzhu took the laundry club and rushed out, pointing at Qiu's disgusting face, Did you forget the consequences of slandering me last time?
