The original owner did have a lot of votes, all of which were saved by Zhang Ercui and sent by Li Aizhong, who was a soldier.Li Aizhong joined the army from the age of 18 to the age of 26 this year. For the first seven years, the monthly salary will be sent back after 53 years when the country implements the bills. After marrying a new wife, these things are gone.

So Zhang Ercui saved a lot of tickets, more than 40 of each kind.Under normal circumstances, meat tickets are valid for the current month, but the army meat tickets sent back by Li Aizhong have no validity period.

After Li Ximei left, Gu Xi was just about to go to the mountain to find Xiao Chengtu, but was stopped by Second Aunt Li.

"Patriotic..." Second Aunt Li brought a few women, all of whom were her sisters, and her two daughter-in-laws, "Patriotic, my aunt went to Widow Lin's house and scolded you. This is the money that Widow Lin promised to pay you Auntie brought it back for you." Second Aunt Li said, taking out ten cards of Great Unity from her pocket. (10 yuan for a large unity!)

To be honest, when she got the 100 yuan, her hands were burned, and the sisters and daughter-in-law around her were very envious when they saw it.

"Thank you, Second Aunt." Gu Xi took the money, "Second Aunt and all the aunts have worked hard, please wait for me." He ran into the kitchen, and there were two catties of white rabbit toffee in total, and half a catty was given to Li Erniu yesterday It's time to go home, Li Ximei took away the one catty just now, and he still has half a catty, and there are about 70 toffees in the half catty, Gu Xi took out 20 of them.Then he walked to the door and gave them to Second Aunt Li: "Second Aunt, thank you for helping me."

Second Aunt Li didn't expect Gu Xi to use milk candy as a thank you gift, it really hurt her heart.But thinking that his nephew's reputation has been maintained today, and he doesn't have a mother, he will have to be taken care of by these women in the future, so he figured it out.She called 4 close sisters together today, and these [-] toffees are just enough to give each of them five.

The sister who received the toffee was a little embarrassed: "Patriotic is so polite, it's just a small favor." But she still accepted it, thinking that there are children in the family who have never eaten toffee.

"Yes, Patriotic, I will come to my aunt if I have anything to do in the future."

"Patriotic, it's not easy for you to come forward as a man, just come to your aunt."

"Thank you aunts." Gu Xi smiled, his face full of emotion.

After today, there was a new story about Li Aiguo and Widow Lin's matter, but it was all about Widow Lin's black heart, stealing money from drunks and accusing others of hooliganism.

No one doubted this statement. After all, Second Aunt Li led people to scold at Widow Lin's door for a long time this morning. The Lin family just blindly said good things and even paid 100 yuan in compensation, which shows that the matter must be true.

Of course, because of the 100 yuan, Gu Xi's popularity soared, and many people wanted to talk to him.Including the money lost by the army, everyone knows that Gu Xi has almost 300 in his hands.

300 yuan is a huge sum of money at the moment, and those who are rich can drop their oil.

After saying goodbye to Second Aunt Li, Gu Xi went to the mountain to look for Li Chengtu, and happened to see Li Chengtu coming down with a small basket on his back, and there were two boys beside him.They were a little older than Li Chengtu, about ten years old, and their baskets were full of pigweed.

"Success." Gu Xi saw that the child was sweating, and wiped it with his small hands.

"Father." Seeing Gu Xi coming, Xiao Chengtu happily trotted a few steps, but the baskets on his back were a bit heavy, so he couldn't run.

Gu Xi took off the basket on his back: "Come on, Dad carry it." To Gu Xi, this weight is not weight at all.He wiped Xiao Chengtu's forehead, "I'm tired, go home and rest."

"I'm not tired. I used to mow pigweed with my grandma, and I wasn't tired at all." Xiao Chengtu said obediently, and then introduced, "Dad, they are all my friends. This one is called Li Goudan, and this one is called Li Maodan. .”

As soon as the name is heard, it is a brother.

"Hello."

"Hello, Dad Chengtu." Li Goudan and Li Maodan are indeed brothers, one is ten years old and the other is eight years old.They all knew that Gu Xi was Xiao Chengtu's uncle, but Xiao Chengtu was adopted by Gu Xi.In their eyes, it was good for Xiao Chengtu to adopt Gu Xi, because Gu Xi had white rabbit toffee to eat.

Xiao Chengtu drank a cup of milk malt extract this morning, because his father told him to, but he only ate a meat bun, so he didn't dare to eat more.Then I went to mow the grass with three big white rabbit toffees. On the way, I met Li Goudan and Li Maodan. The three of them made an appointment to mow the grass together every day.

Then he took out a toffee and gave the two brothers half a candy.

When the three boys were chatting, Li Goudan and Li Maodan knew that he had three toffee snacks every day, so they negotiated a deal. Xiao Chengtu gave each of their brothers half a toffee every day, and they helped Xiao Cheng Three baskets of pigweed were cut on the way, and the two brothers together had six baskets.

The baskets were not big, and they could cut three baskets at their speed from morning to noon. In this way, Xiao Chengtu didn't have to cut himself, and he could concentrate on digging earthworms to feed the chickens.

But Li Goudan and Li Maodan also had pigs at home, so they discussed again, Li Goudan's pigweed was handed in in the morning, and Li Maodan's pigweed was handed in in the afternoon.

"Hello." Gu Xi took Xiao Chengtu's hand, touched his rough fingers, and felt his heart move slightly.

When they arrived at Li's house, Goudan followed in, and Maodan went home by himself.

Goudan dumped the pigweed at the door of Chai Peng: "Chengtu, the three baskets have been cut." It means that half a toffee is about to be handed in.

"Wait a minute." Xiao Chengtu ran into the kitchen, cut the white rabbit toffee in half with a knife, and gave half of it to Goudan, "Brother Goudan, thank you."

"Don't be polite, you can call me when you work, just exchange it with toffee, goodbye. Maodan will come to deliver pigweed in the afternoon." Li Goudan waved his hand and ran away.

After Li Goudan left, Gu Xi looked at Xiao Chengtu with interest: "Son, would you exchange half a toffee for Li Goudan and three baskets of pigweed?"

When Gu Xi asked, Xiao Chengtu's face became tense: "I... I am weak, I can't mow the grass fast, and the pigs can't eat enough in the morning, and they have to wait until the afternoon, so..." He knows that toffee is precious, so he is willing I saved some pig grass for myself, so that the pig can grow stronger, but he didn't get his father's consent, would his father be angry?Will you not like him?Suddenly, his eyes were red, and he began to be afraid.

When Gu Xi saw the child's appearance, he knew what he was thinking.

Gu Xi patted his head: "Son, you are so smart. Exchange half a sugar for three baskets of pigweed, so that you don't have to cut pigweed in the afternoon, and you have extra time to do other things, and at the same time, the pigs eat better. , more meat, and after selling the money, we can buy more toffee.” The six-year-old child is weak, and Xiao Chengtu’s basket is very small, and pigweed can only fill one-third of the basket, otherwise he would I can't move my back.

And Li Goudan's one basket of pigweed can be worth two full baskets of Xiao Chengtu.And for these two full baskets, Xiao Chengtu wanted to cut them up by himself.

And it's not enough for two pigs.

So Li Goudan's three baskets of pigweed in the morning can just solve the food problem of two pigs, and in the morning, some young Chengtu who planned to start digging earthworms, in fact, children are still very smart.

"Really?" Xiao Chengtu was a little happy to see that his father was not angry and praised him.

"of course."

"Then Dad, I'm going to cut pigweed." Xiao Chengtu, who was praised, happily went to work again.

Cut pigweed?

Gu Xi followed and watched.

I saw the child sitting on a small stool, taking out the pigweed on the ground, and chopping it up.The child kept his hand far away, afraid of cutting his own hand. Fortunately, the knife edge is not sharp, and the grass is easy to cut.Looking at the child's neat movements, he is good at this job.

This is life in this age.

Gu Xi didn't rush to do it. He was in this age and had to adapt to the life of this age. If children were brought up in a modern way, it would make them look out of place.

Looking at the time again, it is already 11 o'clock, and it is time to solve the problem of lunch.

"Little 4, what should I do if I don't know how to cook? Do you really want to tell the eldest sister, and ask the old lady to cook for me?" Gu Xi asked.

"Host, I don't think it's appropriate." 444 expressed his little thoughts, "You want to eat meat, fish, and rice. These are all very luxurious in this era, and it will scare the old lady."

"That's right." Eating it every day, the grandmother would also wonder where she got these things.

"Host, I think you can learn to cook." 444 suggested, "I can cook the recipe, you are so smart, if you follow the recipe, it will definitely work."

"...Little 4, you are really getting smarter." You know how to flatter.

"Because the host is smart, I will become smarter by following the host." 444 said.

"Your mouth is so sweet, take a look. We have fish, pork, and..." Gu Xi looked at the kitchen cabinets, "Wow, there are a lot of eggs, potatoes, and vegetables in the yard just now. , with these materials now, how do we cook?"

"Host, I looked it up online, and if there are two people, one big and one small, two dishes and one soup are just right." 444 said, "Why don't you cook the simple ones first, and then make the complicated ones after you learn the simple ones?"

"What are the simple ones?" Gu Xi asked.

"Stewed custard, fried potato chips with sliced ​​meat, braised fish." 444 said, "I have steps here, and there is time for each step. I will remind the host of you."

"Thank you."

Gu Xi started to wash the vegetables first.When I was washing vegetables, I saw that the water in the big tile tank at home was full. I remembered that it was almost bottomed out yesterday. I think Li Ximei picked the water in the morning.

He came to the door of the kitchen with the dishes, first peeled the potatoes, washed them and put them on the plate, and then began to kill the fish.These tasks may seem simple, but for Young Master Gu who does not touch the sun with his ten fingers, it is the first time in his life.However, Gu Xi was more flexible with a scalpel than a kitchen knife. Dissecting a fish was like looking at the internal organs of a human body, so it was quite easy to do.The only thing that made Gu Xi uncomfortable was the smell, the fishy smell was really strong.
