Chapter 100 Banknote
“Mom and dad, this is your room. It was cleaned yesterday.”
Gu Mingda moved his parents' packages into the room with the best sunshine.
Old Mrs. Gu stood in the yard, looking around. Although she stayed in Qingshui Village all year round, she was not brainless.
The house Gu Mingda rented was in a slightly remote location, but it was very large inside, with five rooms. Even in the countryside, it would be difficult for them to live in such a spacious place, let alone in the city.
But Gu Mingda didn't mention how much the rent was, and Mrs. Gu didn't keep asking annoying questions. It was just that her spirit was tense all the time, and all she could think about was that Gu Mingda didn't want the house and land in the country. What would happen if she didn't have money to pay rent in the city in the future? manage.
The old lady is full of hope that the shop can make more money.
But when she thought that the share of the shop belonged to Niuniu and Zhang Yunniang, the old lady was afraid that others would say that Gu Mingda was a softie.
In comparison, Father Gu is much more casual.
Since he became confused, he didn't care about these things at all. He would get on the carriage when his family asked him to get on it, and he would get off when asked to get off. He didn't show any discomfort when he arrived in the new place, but from the beginning to the end, the old man's eyes were fixed on him. He was looking at Niuniu, for fear that if he took a wrong look, his precious little girl would disappear.
"Grandpa, Daddy said half of the yard will be for me to grow ginger, and half for you to raise chickens." Niu Niu held Daddy Gu's hand and said with a smile.
"Grandpa, let's see if we can grow **** here." After speaking, Father Gu glanced at the yard, knelt down, grabbed a handful of soil and smelled it.
Niu Niu looked at him expectantly and asked, "Can it be done? Can it be done?"
Gu Zhao squeezed over in amusement, also grabbed a handful of soil and brought it to his nose to smell it.
"Grandpa, can you smell any difference between this soil and the soil in our village?" Gu Zhao asked curiously.
Father Gu said: "The soil is very dry, so we need to water it more."
Niu Niu suddenly looked admiring and said, "Grandpa is so awesome, he knows everything!"
When Dad Gu heard the praise from his precious granddaughter, he immediately laughed and said, "Grandpa will build a fence for the chickens today and dig the ground early tomorrow morning."
Niuniu is not the kind of child who likes to be lazy, so she quickly said: "I'll help grandpa!"
The second family moved from the village to the city. Gu Mingda knew the character of his parents and would not be willing to throw away anything, so he specially rented two carriages, both of which were filled to the brim by the two old men.
Gu Mingda thought that even if he didn't kill and eat the six chickens that Father Gu originally raised for Niu Niu, he would probably give two to the third and third bedrooms of the big house when he went to the city.
But I didn't expect that the old man was a man of his word. Even if he was confused and said that the chickens were for Niuniu, he really didn't give them to the first and third bedrooms. He made a cage and brought all six chickens into the city.
Even the bamboo strips used to surround the chicken coop were brought into the city from the countryside.
Father Gu quite enjoyed his granddaughter's company and help, so he picked some easy jobs for Niu Niu and Gu Zhao to do.
Half of the chicken coop was surrounded, and there was a knock on the door of the yard.
Gu Zhao was so bored that he was counting his fingers. When he heard the voice, he quickly rushed to the door: "I'll open the door!"
Liu Xiaoru held a basin and walked in with the aroma of braised food.
"Aunt Liu! Niu Niu misses you so much!" Niu Niu put down the bamboo stick in her hand and threw herself directly into Liu Xiaoru's arms.
Liu Xiaoru hadn't seen Niuniu for more than ten days, and she was panicking. When she saw her, she quickly hugged her into her arms.
Gu Zhao smelled the alluring aroma, drooled all over the floor, and asked: "Aunt Liu, what's delicious? Let me see it!"
Zhang Yunniang walked out of the house, reached out and knocked on Gu Zhao's head, and said, "Don't talk like that, come in quickly and pour tea for your Aunt Liu." Gu Zhao lowered his head and ran into the house to pour tea.
"I specially reserved the braised food." Liu Xiaoru handed over a plate that was larger than the basin.
Zhang Yunniang said with a smile: "That's good, I can also cook two less dishes for dinner."
After Liu Xiaoru handed over the plate, she held Niu Niu in her arms more and more reluctant to let go.
"Good boy, take this." Liu Xiaoru took out a purse from her arms and handed it to Niu Niu.
The purse is made of the little girl's favorite pink fabric, and there are no common flowers and plants embroidered on it. Instead, a **** seedling is embroidered on one side, and a large **** is embroidered on the other side.
"Ginger purse!" Niu Niu opened her eyes wide with surprise on her face.
Looking at this situation, Zhang Yuniang shook her head helplessly and said, "You have bad eyesight and are usually busy. There is no need to embroider this purse for her."
Liu Xiaoru said with a smile: "I don't have to worry about selling the things in the store. I'm not busy at all."
Niu Niu thought it would be a surprise to have a purse as a gift, but she didn't expect to touch something tingling on her hand. When she poured it out, she found it was a handful of silver melon seeds.
"Is this...money? Or melon seeds?" This was the first time Niu Niu saw this kind of silver, and she was immediately confused.
Zhang Yunniang said quickly: "Niuniu, this is money. Let's return the money to Aunt Liu and keep the purse, okay?"
Although Niu Niu has started saving money, she is not greedy about money and nods obediently.
Liu Xiaoru originally wanted to hold down Niuniu's little hand, but as soon as she squeezed it, she suddenly felt that the flesh was so comfortable, so she couldn't help but hold on to it.
"Sister, it's not the first month yet, isn't it normal for elders to give new year's money to younger ones?" Liu Xiaoru said with a smile.
Zhang Yunniang said: "This is too much."
Liu Xiaoru smiled and said: "Sister, you have been in the countryside. You don't know how much money we have made this year. When you know, you won't feel it's too much at all."
"Besides, isn't the New Year's money just for my children to be safe and happy in the coming year? This is my blessing to Niuniu."
Zhang Yuniang had absolutely nothing to do with this sister.
Although Liu Xiaoru always favored Niu Niu, she didn't make it too obvious. She gave each child a purse of silver melon seeds as new year's money, but only Niu Niu's purse was embroidered by her herself.
Zhang Yuniang saw that she had spent so much money at once, not to mention the great psychological pressure. Now she was looking forward to Liu Xiaoru remarrying soon, and when she did, she would add a thick dowry to her.
Mrs. Gu had heard about Liu Xiaoru a long time ago and knew that he was now in charge of the entire shop and had just generously paid for the new year's money for the children. She was very polite to her and did not show any slightness to her because of the other party and Li Zhishen.
There are not so many people nowadays, and they are all on their own, so there is no separate table for dinner.
Niu Niu could eat by herself, but Liu Xiaoru insisted on holding her in her arms to feed her. Liu Xiaoru didn't even take a few bites, but every time Niu Niu looked at a dish, she would notice it immediately.
There was a table with the old couple sitting at the top, Gu Mingda and his wife sitting opposite, and Gu Yan and Gu Zhao sitting at the bottom.
Niu Niu ate her food one bite after another, surrounded by her family members, and felt that she was the happiest child in the world.
After the meal, Liu Xiaoru directly placed the two banknotes on the table.
Zhang Yuniang looked at the dividend that was said to be for herself and Niuniu, and asked in disbelief: "You made so much money in just ten days?"
