"Thank you." Gu Mingxiu said, feeling that his nose was blocked, and the voice he said was not quite right.
He was really confused.
In the short period of time just now, he experienced a spiritual earthquake, and he was almost dumbfounded.
He has always known that his second sister likes to take advantage of the public family.
He didn't think it was good, but other people in the village would do the same, and he didn't know how to teach his second sister.
But he really didn't expect that his second sister would steal something.
Of course, the most terrifying thing is that his eldest brother—his eldest brother, actually wrote such reactionary words!
Fortunately, Yan Zhiqing was a good person and didn't say anything.
Even Yan Zhiqing is willing to be friends with him.
The younger brother and sister's ignorance and Yan Jing said that the matter of being friends with him was tumbling in Gu Mingxiu's mind, making him a little confused.
Yanjing was worried when he saw Gu Mingxiu like this.
He wanted Gu Mingxiu to take care of his younger siblings, stop being so nice to his younger siblings, and then prescribe such heavy medicine, but for Gu Mingxiu, it might be a big blow.
Yes, he came from transmigration, and the original owner himself is a person who doesn't care about the rules, so it doesn't matter to write those reactionary words, but people at this time, don't talk about writing, some people may be scared just by seeing it arrive.
"Don't worry, it's alright, they are still young, just teach them well." Yan Jing comforted Gu Mingxiu softly.
"I don't know how to teach them. I promised my mother to take care of them. I..." Gu Mingxiu's voice was a little choked, and then suddenly stopped.
Gu Mingxiu felt a little weird.
In the past, no matter how hard or tired he was, he would still hold on, but Yanjing comforted him, but it made him want to cry a little.
He is crazy!
"There is me." Yanjing said, "But there is one thing you must know, habitual sons are like killing sons."
"What?" Gu Mingxiu was a little confused.
"It means that doting on a child and being accustomed to a child is equivalent to harming him." Yan Jing said: "Look, you can give Gu Yubao everything he wants. The family is so poor and his grades are not good, so he even let him go to school. , making him unwilling to do some work even if he is on vacation, isn't this harming him?"
"it's all my fault… "
"It's not your fault, it's because he doesn't appreciate gratitude. Some people don't get used to it anyway." Yan Jing said, "But in the future, if there is some delicious food at home, you must not eat it for him. You can't get used to him."
"Okay." Gu Mingxiu nodded. Tomorrow's eggs, he kept for Yan Zhiqing to eat.
"Actually, you can't get used to your youngest brother." Yan Jing said.
Gu Mingxiu was taken aback.
"Is he a little stupid? The more such a child is, the more he needs to learn the same skills to make a living." Yan Jing said.
Gu Yukang is a bit stupid, which is recognized, but not stupid in the end. Basically, such a person can be trained well so that he has the ability to take care of himself and learn how to farm.
Can't get used to it anyway.
"He's still young..."
"It's not too young, it's six years old." Yan Jing said: "Now you are accustomed to him, what about in the future? Your family all follow him, but others will not."
Yanjing brainwashed Gu Mingxiu, and it's just a matter of saying - Gu Mingxiu must take care of himself first.
Unfortunately, he said that after a while, he will continue to work.
Gu Mingxiu listened to what Yan Jingze said, and felt more and more that Yan Jing had the ability - the people from this big city are just different, they understand everything, and he suddenly sobered up.
He looked at Yan Jingze with a little admiration.
Then I saw Yanjing procrastinating to continue picking up sweet potatoes, much slower than others...
Gu Mingxiu: "..."
Everyone worked all day, and when they finally got off work, Yan Jing already had a sore back.
Picking sweet potatoes had to bend over and was very tiring. Of course, he did this mainly because the original owner had done too little farm work before.
The original owner was in good health and had a lot of strength, otherwise he wouldn't be able to beat Gu Yubao like that, but it takes time to get used to the same job or exercise.
Carrying the sweet potato back to the temple, Yan Jing returned to his home again.
When he got home, Gu Yulan and Gu Yubao were both there.
His house has been cleaned up, and the sheets and duvet covers have been washed and dried. The whole house is completely different from when he first came.
"Yan Zhiqing, I'll clean it up for you." Gu Yulan looked at Yan Jingze flatteringly. As for Gu Yubao... Although Gu Yubao had a modest attitude, he still looked a little dissatisfied.
Yan Jing said: "Yes, you can go back today. As for tomorrow... Gu Yubao, did your sister tell you? From tomorrow, you have to work hard and earn work points for me."
"Why..." Before Gu Yubao finished speaking, Yan Jing said, "Just because you wrote something like that, I saw it."
"That's what you wrote!" Gu Yubao gritted his teeth.
"Gu Yubao, you don't shirk responsibility like this, how can my words be so ugly?" Yan Jing looked at Gu Yubao with a little helplessness, as if he was looking at a vexatious child.
Gu Yubao felt that the person in front of him was too shameless!
But before he could refute, Gu Yulan stopped him: "Gu Yubao, go home!"
Gu Yubao didn't want to leave, but as soon as he looked up, he met Yan Jingze's icy gaze.
With a shudder, he didn't dare to argue with Yan Jingze, so he left with Gu Yulan.
But he put the fire on Gu Yulan and said angrily: "Gu Yulan, you want to call me brother!"
"Why?" Gu Yulan wouldn't give face to Gu Yubao, she always hated Gu Yubao.
Why is Gu Yubao treated so well at home
Now Gu Yubao is still hurting her... It's wrong for her to steal things, but now that the pens are returned, she can't do anything about her if she doesn't admit Yan Jing, but Gu Yubao wrote something like that, and it still fell into Yan Jingze's hands.
Gu Yubao hurt her!
Gu Yulan wanted to scratch Gu Yubao's face.
"I really didn't write it!" Gu Yubao tried to explain, but Gu Yulan didn't believe it.
Yan Zhiqing has no grievances with them, so why frame them
Even Yan Zhiqing didn't force them to give money and food on the spot, but only let Gu Yubao go to the village to earn work points, and exchanged food and money for him at the end of the year...
Yan Zhiqing is good enough. As for asking for food and money, who doesn't know that Yan Zhiqing is too lazy to owe a lot of debt? Should he want money to pay off the debt
The two were pulling and pulling, and they arrived home in a short while.
The smell of burning sweet potatoes permeated the house. Gu Yulan was fine. She ate and took it at noon. She ate it secretly in the afternoon and was not hungry, but Gu Yubao's lunch was robbed by Yan Jing today, and she never ate anything...
For the first time, he knew that sweet potatoes are so fragrant!
Gu Yubao immediately ran to the kitchen.
But before he ran over, he was blocked by Gu Mingxiu who was holding the door bolt: "Gu Yubao, what have you done?!"
Gu Yubao: "..."
This afternoon, when I learned that Yanjing had shown his book to Gu Yulan, Gu Yubao was already helpless, but he didn't expect his brother to know it.
What kind of resentment did Yanjing have with him, to harm him like this
Also, what did his brother take? It's the door latch! Is his brother going to break his leg
Gu Mingxiu didn't want to break his brother's leg, he threw the door bolt and beat him up.
Gu Yubao, who was beaten twice by Yan Jingze during the day, was beaten by his brother again.
"Brother, it wasn't written by me, it was written by Yan Jingze, who imitated my writing!"
"Nonsense!" Gu Mingxiu said, "Why did Yan Zhiqing do this?"
"He definitely wants our family to be a cow and a horse for him!" Gu Yubao said.
"Yan Zhiqing really needs the ability to imitate other people's writing and write exactly the same way. He can blackmail the captain of the village. What can he do with us? Our family is so poor!" Gu Mingxiu said, looking at his brother in disappointment.
His brother really needs an education.
Otherwise... he will cause trouble sooner or later.
"What I said is true, he even stole my lunch." Gu Yubao said.
"Yan Zhiqing told me about this. He said that you didn't want him to tell him about it, so you gave him the meal." Gu Mingxiu said, and Yan Jing also told him about this. Yan Jing gave him the egg.
Gu Yubao: "..." He never thought that one day he would be wronged like this, and he would have nowhere to ask.
He is so miserable!
Gu Yubao was beaten, but Gu Yulan did not escape, but was beaten several times by Gu Mingxiu with the bamboo board.
Compared with Gu Yubao's death and refusal to admit his mistake, Gu Yulan obediently admitted his mistake, so she was beaten a lot less.
His four younger siblings were not the same father as him. Gu Mingxiu had never beaten his younger siblings before.
But today, he was still ruthless.
After the fight, Gu Mingxiu asked them to eat and sleep, and then asked Gu Yubao to work with him tomorrow.
Gu Yubao: "..." He really doesn't want to work!
Speaking of which, what does Yan Jing want to do
He has never done farm work before, and even if he goes to the fields, he will only have three months by the end of the year, and he won't earn much work points at all...
Why didn't Yanjing frame others, but found him instead
Although Yan Jing didn't know about the Gu family, he could guess.
His sheets and quilt cover were not completely dry, but his bed was covered with straw, and the quilt was also inside, so it wasn't that he couldn't sleep.
After barely sleeping, Yan Jing set off for the town early the next morning.
The villagers in Shangmu Village found helplessly that Yan Zhiqing disappeared after a day's work...
As expected of Yan Zhiqing!
However, today everyone didn't have time to talk about Yan Zhiqing, and the one they talked about the most was Gu Yubao.
This precious egg of the Gu family went to the ground.
"Yubo, why did you come to work?"
"It's time for you to come to work. In a few years, you're going to marry a daughter-in-law. You must save some money for yourself. You can't point all at your brother."
"Mingxiu, you should have asked your brother to work long ago. Others' children go to the ground when they come back from vacation. What about Yubao? I haven't seen him go to the ground before!"
…
The people of the village are saying every word I say.
They all felt that Gu Yubao should go to work in the field.
Reading is a good thing, but reading is useless.
The fertilizer factory, straw paper factory, cloth dyeing factory, etc. in the town have long been full of workers. It is rare to recruit workers for people with registered permanent residence in the town. farming.
Moreover, they could all see that Gu Yubao wanted to be lazy by insisting that he could not go to school.
Gu Mingxiu should have forced him to the ground long ago.
Gu Mingxiu thought that if he didn't let his younger brother study, the people in the village would feel that he was going too far and treated his half-brother badly, but he didn't expect that the situation was completely the opposite of what he thought.
At the same time, Gu Yubao's state also exceeded his expectations.
Children in rural areas grew up in farmland from a young age.
When the parents were turning the ground, they were digging for loach beside them.
When the parents were planting the rice, they felt the snails in the field.
When their parents were harvesting rice, they picked up the ears of rice behind them.
Even rural children who have never been on the ground know how to do farm work.
As a result... Gu Yubao didn't know it at all, he was standing in the ground like a wooden stake.
Gu Mingxiu's face turned cold.
Gu Yubao was still aggrieved. In the past, every morning, when he was cooking porridge at home, he would steam rice for him, but today he didn't!
And the eggs laid by the chickens at home last night. He thought Gu Mingxiu would make up for the injured him, but Gu Mingxiu took it himself!
After only an hour of work, Gu Yubao was tired and couldn't help but said to Gu Mingxiu, "Brother, I want to eat eggs." He noticed that Gu Mingxiu had never eaten eggs.
"No, this is for Yan Zhiqing." Gu Mingxiu rejected him without hesitation.
Gu Yubao: "..." This Yan Jingze must have harmed him for the sake of his family's food and eggs!
It's really abominable!
But he really can't do it now.
He has a handle on Yan Jingze, his brothers and sisters still don't believe him, and he doesn't dare to ask outsiders for help, so he can only work.
Gu Yubao's work was a mess, and he couldn't stand it as a person. Gu Yulan couldn't help but yell at him: "Gu Yubao, hurry up and work!"
Gu Yubao: "..."
When Gu Yubao was staring at Gu Yulan at work, Yanjing had already come to the town.
This place is a planned economy, and occasionally there are a few in season. Only local things can be bought without tickets, such as sugar cane that has just been listed recently.
The materials here are very scarce, and it is illegal to buy or sell anything in private.
But there are still secret deals.
For example, farmers will come to town with brooms and baskets made of bamboo, and exchange various tickets with the townspeople.
Some people will also take the vegetables grown in the field and go to the town to exchange salt and sugar.
Of course, there are also people who ask for money without changing things. Their village is close to the town. As far as he knows, some people will save eggs and sell them secretly in the town for money.
This is usually sold to acquaintances, such as relatives in the town, when it is said that it is a relationship between relatives, no one will check.
The original owner also came to town to sell a few things he brought from the capital, but the original owner would not bargain, in fact, they were all sold cheaply.
In addition, the original owner brought a lot of money with him when he came, and he also used the money to buy tickets with the people in the town so that he could buy something to eat.
The original owner had "acquaintances" in the town, but Yanjing didn't go to those "acquaintances", he went directly to the staff dormitory of the fertilizer factory in the town.
The workers in the fertilizer plants are basically wealthy.
Their wages are not low, and they can earn some extra money—factory workers are often able to take some ammonia water from the fertilizer plant after their work is done.
This is the best fertilizer. Some people in the countryside will exchange vegetables or something with them, and after the exchange, they will use it to water their own plots.
At this moment, the land in front of and behind the houses of every household is their own land, and people in Shangmu Village usually use it to grow various vegetables... Of course, there are too many vegetables, just as the village suddenly wants to cut the tail of capitalism, then Someone might come over and shovel it out.
Yan Jing came to the vicinity of the dormitory building and immediately attracted the attention of many people.
He looks really good, and he is tall. When people look at him, they are mostly kind.
Yan Jing looked around, and finally walked towards a woman in her forties, smiling sweetly: "Sister."
Gao Xiaoxian had already noticed the tall and long-legged young man.
Her eldest daughter has reached the age of looking for a partner, and now she will pay more attention when she sees a young man.
She likes this young man when she sees it, but Gao Xiaoxian has never met this person in the town, most of whom are not from the town... She was secretly disappointed.
Her daughter must be married in the town.
Just thinking about it, Gao Xiaoxian saw that person walking over and called out to her sister.
At such an old age, I can still be called sister by such a young man! Gao Xiaoxian was a little surprised, but couldn't help but be happy.
Yan Jing talked to the female worker of the fertilizer factory named Gao Xiaoxian one by one, and said that he wanted to sell a pen.
Gao Xiaoxian has a child who is studying and originally wanted to buy it by himself, but after learning about the original price of Yan Jingze's pen, he stopped buying it, but he went to another store after introducing Yan Jing.
Gao Xiaoxian, a native of the town, knew the situation in the town very well. The person who introduced it to Yan Jingze was a rich and knowledgeable person.
At this time, things such as pens and watches are not cheap. As far as Jingze's pens are imported from abroad, they are still gold, which is impossible to buy here.
Having such a unique pen pinned to your chest is definitely a face.
Yanjing praised and praised his pen, and finally exchanged it not only for 100 yuan, but also for five pounds of meat tickets and other bills.
As soon as he turned his head, Yan Jing went to the meat-selling place in the town.
There is a meat stall in the town, and you need a meat ticket to buy meat.
The stall owner will go to the meat bones before selling the meat, and then sell the meat at the same price. What meat you can buy depends on his mood.
There are many reasons why people in Shangmu Village don't like people in town.
One of them is that the pigs in their village, after working hard to feed them, eventually become "task pigs" and will be pulled away.
Apart from killing pigs and dividing pork in the village at the end of the year, they usually can't eat pork at all, but people in the town have meat tickets and wages every month, and can always eat meat several times a month.
That's okay, people from the countryside rarely have the opportunity to come to town to buy meat, and meat sellers will give them meat with bad edges and corners.
It was Yan Jingze's turn. Before the meat seller could ask, Yan Jing said in his local dialect, "Brother, I bought five catties of meat to entertain the leaders."
He speaks the local dialect in order to prevent meat sellers from bullying educated youth from other places.
Special mention of the non-existent leader is to make people feel that he is not easy to mess with.
Sure enough, when Yan Jing said this, the meat seller asked, "Where do you want the meat?"
Yanjing asked for the meat from the front leg of the pig near the neck of the pig, and also said that the leader wanted to eat bones, so he bought some bones by the way - there is no need for meat tickets to buy bones!
The meat on the front leg of the pig near the neck is very fat. This kind of meat is liked by people in the town and in the village these days.
The meat seller understands when he sees that he wants the meat.
Such fatty meat, the leaders must like it, and can use part of the fat to cook lard for stir-frying!
Yan Jing returned to the village with five catties of meat and some bones, which immediately attracted onlookers.
These days, except for those who eat meat during the New Year's Eve, how many people are there? Yan Jing actually brought back so much meat...
Even if the meat was raw, the villagers couldn't help but start gulping.
Yan Jing walked around the village with the meat, and after a while, someone came to him: "Yan Zhiqing, can I exchange some meat with you?"
Of course!
After a while, Yan Jing exchanged the four catties of the five catties of meat in his hands for food.
There's no food left in his house!
Speaking of which, he made a fortune when pork was in the village and could be exchanged for grains far exceeding its market price.
As for the remaining pound of pork, Yan Jing cut the fat into pieces and threw it into a small pot given to him by the educated youth in the village to boil lard.
The fragrance of the oil soon floated out, and Yan Jing put the boiled lard into a bowl, put rice directly into the pot that had been boiled with oil, put the remaining lean meat and oil residue, added water, and boiled it for a while. Pot-smelling rice.
There is a little lard left in the pot, and there are oil residues. This rice can be said to be lard rice!
Yanjing was half in full bloom, and just as he was about to eat the remaining half, Gu Mingxiu came.
Seeing Gu Mingxiu, Yan Jing's eyes lit up.
Half of the meal he set aside was originally intended for Gu Mingxiu to eat, but now Gu Mingxiu has come here on his own initiative, which is really good.
"Yan Zhiqing, I'll give you an egg." Gu Mingxiu took out an egg when he entered the room.
In the end, Yanjing didn't pick up the egg, and even took out a bowl full of rice and stuffed it into his hand: "Mingxiu, come and have dinner with me."
Gu Mingxiu was stunned.
Even if this rice is white rice, it is still shiny and has meat in it...
Such a bowl of fragrant rice must cost a lot of money, but Yan Jing actually gave it to him
Did Yan Jing make a mistake
"I can't." Gu Mingxiu said quickly, feeling a little helpless.
Yan Jing said: "You must eat this meal. If you don't eat it, I will tell others that your sister stole my pen."
Yan Jing smiled when he spoke, obviously not really threatening himself, and how could anyone threaten others to force people to eat such a good thing
Gu Mingxiu looked at Yan Jingze, his heart beat faster inexplicably.
