Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

The two of them found a noodle stall and sat down.

The mutton noodle soup at this time of year was not cheap, a bowl cost twenty cents. Gu Yue was not stingy, not only did he order two bowls of noodles, he also asked the store to cut a plate of mutton.

“You can only earn money if you know how to spend! And the most important thing now is to grow up.” Gu Yue said, and picked out the mutton slices in his bowl and gave them to Gu Xu.

People in ancient times were poor, but they had not yet developed too many tricks, so this noodle can be considered authentic.

Gu Xu didn't rush to read the content on the note, but just ate slowly. Gu Yue looked at him and felt that his behavior was particularly harmonious, without any of the impetuousness of a rural child.

This is the male lead! Gu Yue sighed again. He has a natural temperament without any training. Unlike him, he has to hold his legs with a big horse and a golden knife because his legs are too long and the table is too low.

Gu Yue hurriedly ate almost the entire plate of mutton. There was only a little bit of meat left, but Gu Yue didn't waste it like he did in the real world. He picked it up and ate it all, leaving nothing even the mutton soup in the bowl.

This was the first proper meal he had after traveling through time. It had soup and was hot, filling his stomach. It was not like the dry vegetable cakes that didn't even have any pickles.

During the days of recuperation, the rice and flour at home were almost gone. Gu Yue tried every way to make food for Gu Xu as long as he could move his arms. He almost made flowers out of a pancake. He didn't recognize all the wild vegetables, and the animals and plants in this world were not completely similar to those on Earth. Gu Yue also went to the woods to trap rabbits, but the short-lived Disney princess's golden finger had passed, and he didn't even see a single rabbit hair.

After eating and drinking, the two continued their purchasing plan which had been innocently interrupted.

First, I bought some food. The ones on sale now were all yellow flour and white flour harvested last year. They were not very fresh, but I had no choice. The price of rice was much higher. Not to mention refined rice, even brown rice was almost twice the price of white flour. The reason was that no one grew rice near Luonan Road.

The bag of rice in that house is very suspicious.

Gu Yue asked for twenty kilograms of white and yellow flour, as well as some millet and beans, and asked someone to send them to Uncle Beideng's clinic first. They had already made arrangements.

After leaving the grain store, I went to the cloth shop and ordered two sets of clothes for Gu Xu. Considering that he was growing old quickly, he didn't have a set of clothes for all four seasons. It would probably be ready in a few days, and I could pick it up then.

Gu Yue bought two more pieces of cloth and asked for two bags of new cotton. He planned to sew his own quilt. He had helped the grandmothers in the village when he was a child, so he knew how to do this.

After that came the daily necessities that were missing at home. There weren’t many, only five or six things. The largest ones were two wooden basins. Gu Yue resolutely refused to use the same basin to wash everything.

As for making money... Gu Yue's initial plan was to raise some animals to ensure Gu Xu's nutrition first.

He went to a butcher's shop and got a few pounds of pork. It was hot and meat didn't last long, so Gu Yue didn't buy too much.

Then I went to the market nearby and bought seven or eight half-grown chicks in bamboo baskets, one male and six females, for which I spent more than three hundred yuan.

Gu Yue drooled at the sight of the piglets and lambs. He wanted those more, but the piglets were very expensive and it was difficult to make a profit. They had to be raised in pairs, which he could not afford.

Wait until you figure out a new way to make money.

Passing by the vegetable market, Gu Yue picked up a few cabbages, and then bought some vegetable seeds and seedlings. Now was the time to plant them, and they would provide nutrition for Gu Xu.

The two of them went to Uncle Beideng's house with their bags. Passing by a snack shop, Gu Yue spent the last few dozen coins he had brought with him and bought two portions of peanut crisps, one for Uncle Beideng as a thank you and one for Gu Xu.

The purchase took the whole afternoon. As the sun was setting, the clinic was closed and only Uncle Beideng's apprentice was left in the clinic to look after the clinic and get some medicinal herbs for people.

The ox cart swayed slowly as it drove towards Gujia Village.

Uncle Beideng had been busy all day, so of course he didn't know what happened between the two of them on the street. But seeing that the piles of things they bought were all for real use, he didn't criticize Gu Yue.

Gu Yue was a little worried that the master and servant would follow them home, but after thinking about it, he thought that since they were willing to pay money to save Gu Xu from being a prostitute, they would not have any intention of harming him.

I gave the peanut cookies to Uncle Beideng. This snack was not cheap, but it was enough to cover the fare.

By the time they loaded and unloaded and brought all the things into the house, it was completely dark.

Gu Yue asked Gu Xu to take a break, and went to the kitchen to stir-fry some pork and cabbage while the pork was still fresh, and served it with the remaining wild vegetable cakes and cornmeal rice. This was his usual meal when he was a child, simple but nutritionally balanced.

The two of them ate at the large square table in Gu Yue's room.

Without having to hunch over the low table, Gu Yue felt his stomach relax and drank two large bowls of rice. He urged Gu Xu to eat all the meat as usual, but he refused to touch a single bite, fearing that he would let Gu Xu down.

The two of them ate the meal on the table. Gu Xu was refused to clean up the dishes and was urged to go back to his room to study. He was told to go to the town in a few days to arrange for his schooling.

The door was closed and Gu Xu stood there for a long time.

On the table was the peanut crisps that Gu Yue bought for him, and the tea was placed beside him, steaming. Gu Xu picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and crispy, and made with the best ingredients.

Opening the window a little, Gu Yue squatted in the yard and worked on making a chicken coop. His technique was clumsy, and he had to cut into the notch before splitting the wood, and he was not skilled in using a plane.

It’s really not Gu Dashi.

Gu Xu clenched his fist and pressed it against his chest, where he felt a soreness he had never felt before.

He lowered his head and opened the note that Li Taohua had handed him, glanced at it briefly, then placed it on the candle and lit it.

The paper ashes fell down, and none of the words on it could be seen.

……

The next day, Gu Yue got up early as usual to clean up the chicken coop.

When Gu Xu came out to see, Gu Yue had already prepared breakfast and was squatting in the yard tinkering with the wooden rack. He had built two circles of land near the wall with stones, and a smaller wooden chicken coop took up half of the land. Straw had been laid inside, and tarpaulin was even used on top.

The other area was about 45 square meters. Gu Yue dug up the compacted earth brick ground, turned the soil over, and spread manure. It looked wet, so vegetable seeds must have been planted. There were a few lonely seedlings planted there, not very energetically. A low fence was built around it to prevent chickens from running in.

After being cleaned up like this, the originally decadent and messy yard immediately became much more pleasing to the eye and had a thriving look.

When Gu Xu walked over, the chicks that were pecking at the cabbage scraps immediately ran away and hid in the chicken coop.

"Have you eaten?" Gu Yue stood up and saw that he was holding an empty bowl, so he took it.

He pinched the boy's shoulder with one hand. After eating full meals for a few days, he seemed to be stronger. Gu Yue was very pleased.

"I will go to the village chief's house to get a letter of recommendation for you, and then we will go to the school in town."

"Dad wants me to take the imperial examination?" Gu Xu asked.

Gu Yue put the bowls into the big pot in the kitchen, scalded the bowls with hot water, and then cleaned them one by one.

"maybe……"

Gu Yue hesitated. If the male leader wanted to succeed, there would be many ways. What if he was meddling in other people's affairs and it delayed everything?

"It depends on what you want to do. I fully support you." Gu Yue chose an open-ended answer.

"Really?" Gu Xu smiled.

"Really, what do you think?" Gu Yue asked him, "If you can't think of anything now, you can go to a private school for a month and see what you can do. You can also get to know other people and see if there is any good way."

He was also worried that Gu Xu's attending the academy would affect his encounter with the prince. What if that changed the story line again?

"No, I'm not going to the private school." Gu Xu said.
