Regarding the matter of Gu Ci moving to the town, it was not until the autumn harvest was over and everyone was free that they realized that it seemed that they hadn't seen Gu Ci's three siblings walking around the village for a long time, and then they knew that Gu Ci had left After leaving the village, the women who were free for a while were gossiping behind their backs, and some women with red eyes even had some nasty thoughts, suspecting that Gu Ci had hooked up with some rich wild man...

However, what is out of sight is always clear. For Gu Ci, it doesn't matter what gossip is going on behind the scenes in the village. Now all her thoughts are on how to make money.

Although Gu Ci knew a little about the prices in the town before moving, but now that she really moved here, she realized that she still knew too little, and she couldn't be careful where to spend money.

Take the matter of Abao going to the school as an example, the one-year repair costs five taels of silver, and there are also miscellaneous fees such as textbooks that need to be paid in advance. Three taels is definitely not enough for a year's miscellaneous expenses, and when the school enrolls in the first month of the next year, it will definitely have to be paid again.

This amount of money is not small, but it is still in Gu Ci's budget.He never expected that this money was only on the surface, and there were many places to spend money in the dark. For example, he had to pay more attention to clothing than when he was studying in the village.And the things that pay attention to all cost money.

The reason is that Ah Bao was bullied on the first day he went to the school. At first, Ah Bao didn’t say anything when he came home. When Gu Ci asked how the schoolmates were doing, he also said yes, and he was very motivated to go to school.

However, less than half a month later, her younger brother, who loves to read, suddenly told her that he didn't want to go to school to study.

Gu Ci thought he had heard it wrong, so he asked the question twice word by word, and Ah Bao nodded.

"..." Gu Ci moved his lips, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "Why?"

A Bao stood there with his head down, but didn't speak.

Gu Ci asked several times but still didn't get a result. Looking at his lifeless face, he remembered that in order to send him to the school in this town, he didn't talk about money, just that she asked Gu Chunxiao to help her manage the relationship. I don’t know how many favors I owed, but in the end, this little brat refused to go, and felt suffocated in his heart. After asking good words several times, he also exhausted his patience, and he lost his face when he grabbed A Bao’s ears, “I’m dumb. , my sister asked you something."

When Gu Ci got angry, the strength in his hands was naturally not light. When he exerted force, Ah Bao felt pain, but he didn't dare to cry out the pain, and stubbornness came up somehow, "There is no reason, I just won't go."

The child's skin is tender, and after a while, the whole ear turns red. If it were a delicate little girl, she would burst into tears and snot, but this naive boy is such a boring gourd , can't act like a baby, and it's really annoying.

The more Gu Ci thought about it, the more angry he became, but in the end his heart ached, he let go, but there was nowhere to let go of his anger. He scanned the room and saw the feather duster hanging beside the cabinet, took it and waved it at A Bao, "I won't make it clear today. See if I don't want to beat you up. My sister has put so much effort into sending you to the school in the town. It's good for you. If you lose your temper, you won't go if you don't want to go..."

Ah Bao didn't hide either, and still stood there with his head down, "If my sister gets angry, just beat me up."

This is really - too much to beat.

Gu Ci endured it, but he couldn't hold it back. He took a feather duster and waved it on his buttocks, "Say it or not."

"There is no reason, I just don't want to go to school."

"Still talking hard..." Gu Ci was angry and anxious, and took a feather duster and swiped his buttocks a few times. A Bao still didn't say a word, and he didn't cry out. Gu Ci was angry and exerted a little more force Going down, for the last beating, Ah Bao snorted, bent his knees, and knelt down, "Do you want to talk?"

Ah Bao bit his lip, turned his hands up, covered his face and lay on the ground, but didn't say a word.

Gu Ci is a soft-tempered person, and her usually well-behaved younger brother suddenly committed such stubbornness. Although she knew there must be a reason for it, she would just be angry and kind. The more stubborn Ah Bao was, the more controlling she would be Can't help myself.

If she was like a little girl, she would cry at the slightest touch, and make a fuss with her coquettishly, but she would not be so angry... Thinking of the little girl, Gu Ci's feather duster that had been swung in the air suddenly couldn't go down again, look The younger brother kneeling on the ground, his anger was mostly replaced by powerlessness and sadness.

"Is it because my sister doesn't treat you well enough? Or do you not regard my sister as the closest person?" Gu Ci sat down on a chair beside him, threw the feather duster aside, and rubbed his painful temples, his tone was low Repressed again, "I know my brother is a well-behaved child, and he won't lose his temper for no reason. Could it be that I am not sensible enough as a sister? That's why you don't trust me so much and don't tell me anything? "

Following Gu Ci's words, the room was silent for a while, only the noise from the next door could be heard.

Gu Ci waited for a long time, seeing that Abao was still silent in this posture, he rubbed his temples again, and sighed slightly, "I consider myself to be an enlightened person, and I am afraid that you will be pressured, and I will send you to school as the first student. I told you today that the purpose of our going to school is to learn how to read and to be a human being, to broaden our horizons and mind, to be worthy of ourselves in the future, and it’s not that you must earn fame and come back. That’s all, since you can’t listen , It is useless for me to say more..."

A low sobbing sound slowly echoed in the air, and Ah Bao's hoarse choking sound came from his palm, "No, that's not the case, it's not because my sister didn't do well, it's me..."

"Heh." Gu Ci stared at the back of A Bao's head condescendingly, let out a cold snort, and then the words that came out were a little more indifferent out of thin air, "If it wasn't because I didn't do well, why would you bother to anger me? ?”

Abao trembled slightly, "I'm sorry, it was Abao's fault, I made my sister feel sad and angry..."

"Sister, I'll go back..." As soon as Ah Bao finished speaking, the door was opened from the outside, and the little girl with a flushed face rushed in from the outside, the smile on her face was too late to put away, "This...what's the matter ?”

The two people in the room were not in the mood at this moment, and they didn't talk to each other. The little girl's eyes wandered back and forth between the two people's faces, but she didn't figure out why. She bent down and picked up the feather duster that Gu Ci just threw on the ground and hung it up. Okay, then he took out something wrapped in oil paper from the small cloth bag on his shoulder, took a big candied date, and fed it to Gu Ci's lips, sighing, "I've only been away from home for a day, and you guys are making a fuss." Wake up, it can be seen that the harmony of the family depends on me."

Since moving to the town, Aunt Bangen has often come to visit. Gu Chunxiao has two sons and a daughter. The eldest daughter is named Aru. She is two years younger than the little girl, but because she grew up in the town She has also followed her mother's temperament, she has knowledge and courage, and often dares to hang out in the streets and alleys. After coming to Gu Ci's place with Aunt Bangen, she hits off with the little girl very well, and comes here to play with her every now and then. The little girl accompanied her to buy silk flowers.

Seeing that she was bored at home all day long, Gu Ci asked her to follow her to buy two silk flowers.The little girl didn't want to go, but she thought that Aru was Gu Chunxiao's daughter, and that brother had helped her a lot. She didn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. Aru had asked her so many times, so let's go.

Aru has been running in these alleys and streets since she was a child, and she took the little girl to visit the places that the girl likes. During this walk, the little girl was a little forgetful, so she only came back after shopping until now.

As soon as the sweet candied dates reached his lips, the taste seemed to have entered his mouth. Gu Ci tilted his head, but the little girl refused to budge, and followed suit, "A face is bitter, hurry up!" Eat something sweet to get rid of the bitterness, and make a fuss about it, the noise next door is annoying enough, and you guys made it yourself. It's annoying."

The little girl's voice is like the sound of a high-quality piano, which can always soothe her bad emotions inadvertently. When hearing her speak, Gu Ci can't hold back anymore, his lips open and close. He touched the little girl's hand and took a small bite, "Our good little brother can be a troublemaker, he is doing well in school, come back today and tell me that he won't go to school."

"Stop going to school?" The little girl was surprised, and went to see Abao again, "How is it possible, our Abao is a little nerd."

"You're mad at me." Gu Ci was still angry, and he became angry when he looked at A Bao, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hide his emotions and hurt A Bao's heart, so he turned his head to look at the little girl, "Didn't you say Would you like to buy some tiaras too? Why did you come back empty-handed?"

"I won't buy it, those things cost money." The little girl curled her lips and went to A Bao's side to help him, "I don't believe that A Bao won't go to school, must have suffered some... pain?"

While talking, the little girl insisted on pulling Abao up, but just halfway through, Abao let out a cry of pain, but the little girl was startled, remembering the feather duster she picked up just now, she immediately frowned at Gu Ci He said with a sullen face, "Sister, did you beat Ah Bao just now?"

Faced with the girl's obvious questioning, Gu Ci inexplicably felt a little guilty, "He's disobedient, of course I'm going to hit him."

The little girl who was beaten by her sister suddenly turned pale. "It hurts you to hit someone. Ah Bao is still young, how can you hit someone? You don't even ask about the situation, in case Ah Bao is wronged... "

"I just asked him why, and he didn't tell me, so I beat him." Gu Ci's expression was a little embarrassed, "I asked him with good intentions, but he didn't say anything."

The little girl glanced at her, and helped Abao to sit on a chair beside her, "Where did my sister hit, does it hurt?"

Ah Bao shook, "It doesn't hurt...it's my fault, I made my sister angry..."

"My sister's hand is strong, how can it not hurt?" The little girl snorted at A Bao who was pretending to be strong, and imitated the way her elders touched her forehead, and touched A Bao's forehead, "If you say don't It must be your fault that my sister beat you. But if you say you won’t go to the school, you must have something to hide from us. Tell me, did you get bullied in the school? "

"Sister Jiaojiao..." Ah Bao opened his eyes wide and looked at the little girl, as if remembering something, he immediately covered his mouth again.

With his appearance, Gu Ci and the sisters don't understand anything.Gu Ci looked at A Bao's stupid look, he was really angry, but his heartache was also real, "Why didn't you tell me when you were bullied? You are not a wild child, why are you being bullied..."

As Gu Ci spoke, she choked up her own sobs first, and she raised her head slowly, "Why did my sister bring you by my side? Isn't it just because she doesn't want you to be bullied?"

"My sister doesn't cry, it's A Bao's fault..." Gu Ci choked up, and A Bao started crying again. He got up and endured the pain in his buttocks and walked towards her, holding her leg and crying loudly, "It's all Ah Bao is unbelievable..."

The siblings were crying, but the little girl didn't want to cry, she just got angry, "Why are they bullying you?"

Ah Bao choked a few times, hesitated, and told the truth, "They said I was dressed like a bumpkin, secretly threw dirt in the food box my sister gave me, and slandered me for stealing..."

This pissed off the little girl, "Just those classmates of yours? They are all crooked, with shabby faces, how dare you despise you?"

It was originally a dull atmosphere, but suddenly amused by the little girl's words, Gu Ci let out a snort, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the angry little girl, "I'm really getting more and more outspoken."

When Ah Bao first went to the school, the little girl followed Gu Ci to pick up people outside the school. At that time, she paid a lot of attention to those classmates of her younger brother.

"I'm just telling the truth." The little girl lowered her eyes, clenched her fingers subconsciously, and curled her lower lip for a while, but she secretly made up her mind.

Knowing the whole story, Gu Ci held Ah Bao together for a long talk, calmed him down, and put medicine on his red ass before going to sleep. After all this hard work, he finally coaxed Ah Bao to go on. school.

The next day, Gu Ci didn't send A Bao to the school, but went to meet A Bao's wife in private, told about A Bao's situation in a tactful manner, and asked the teacher to take care of him.

The little girl was more straightforward, and without discussing with Gu Ci, she asked Aru to take her to buy two pieces of high-quality fabric. After working hard for several days, she made a white gown for Abao, and it was still on the sleeves of the white gown. The auspicious cloud pattern is embroidered on the side and the hem.

When she was making clothes, she didn't deliberately hide it from Gu Ci. Seeing that Gu Ci didn't say anything, she felt guilty, "I know, this kind of comparison is not good, but I just don't want to make Ah Bao feel wronged... ..."

"If you buy it, you will buy it." Gu Ci interrupted her with a smile, "If Ah Bao was a comparison person, he would not tell the truth differently from us. Speaking of it, I also ignored this point. You make him two It doesn’t matter if you have good clothes, but you really need some appearance.”

After hearing Gu Ci's words, the little girl was relieved, but when she thought of her gradually shrinking money bag, the little girl felt a little worried, "Sister, let's stop buying fine noodles and rice in the future, or the money will be spent all at once. , everything in town costs money..."

Gu Ci smiled, and didn't reply to her, but put away the half-embroidered sleeve in her hand, "I also greeted Abao's wife, Abao is in a good mood these days, don't worry, Go to sleep."

The little girl didn't argue, so she put away her things, turned around and made the bed, "I heard from Aru that my sister worked two jobs in brother Chunxiao's restaurant, and besides helping in the kitchen, she also helped pass the dishes. Chuancai is tired, sister, let me rub your shoulders."

Gu Ci paused, looked back at the little girl's bright eyes, and smiled suddenly, "Okay."

"Then sister, come and lie down." The little girl patted the place beside her, "Sister Xiahua's taro doesn't want to study and wants to study medicine with Dr. Li. Aru took me to see it. The doctor talked about the acupuncture points on the human body, and I remembered it after listening to it, but they didn't remember it, sister, am I particularly powerful?"

Gu Ci took off his outer shirt, put on his middle coat and lay down on his stomach, "Well, it's amazing."

"My sister took off her middle coat too."

Gu Ci: "..."

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Ci slowly took off his shirt. The little girl who really only wanted to press her sister's back felt inexplicably ashamed when she saw her sister's bare back, and took two deep breaths. Only then did he press his fair fingers on Gu Ci's back little by little.

After seeing the large and small scars on Gu Ci's back clearly, the inexplicable emotions that the little girl had aroused disappeared. She carefully avoided those protrusions and pressed from her shoulder blades to her waist.

Gu Ci's back is not good-looking, how could a soldier who has been on the battlefield for three years have no scars?It's just that these scars, to Gu Ci at this moment, are really far away from his memory.

Therefore, she didn't know the little girl's thousands of thoughts, but the little girl's soft and boneless hands were like a firefoil, and the place where she stayed was hot and numb...

Finally, Gu Ci couldn't bear the stimulation, "Jiaojiao, it's all right..."

"Huh? I haven't touched my waist yet."

The shoulder blades couldn't bear it, let alone the waist, Gu Ci coughed lightly, "You tickle me with such strength, my sister is actually not tired."

She used all her strength to feed her baby, but her sister said she was just scratching her itch!

I'm so angry!

The little girl quietly kicked Gu Ci's ass, then rolled into the bed like a thief, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, "Hey, sister, I seem to have accidentally kicked you just now. gone."

"Isn't that simple?" Of course Gu Ci knew that she did it on purpose, "It's fine if I kick it back."

Hearing this, the little girl quickly turned over and turned her butt to the inside, "My sister is so narrow-minded."

Gu Ci also turned over and lay face to face with her. Looking at the little girl's delicate facial features, he suddenly felt that the time had passed, "I lied to you. My sister is——reluctant."

Reluctant.

Compared with liking and love, the temptation is greater for little girls.

Only when you are reluctant will you never leave, and you will depend on each other for life and death, just like the concubine mother is to the emperor mother.

After the little girl made the white gown for A Bao, she remembered that Xia Hua had given her a jade pendant. She compared the colors with the jade pendant, embroidered a belt for A Bao, pinned the jade pendant on her waist, and her hair Bundled up and put on the scholar hat issued by the academy, even Gu Ci could hardly hold back his younger brother.

"Buddhas rely on gold clothes, people rely on clothes, it's true." Looking at his younger brother who was blushing and embarrassed, Gu Ci couldn't help but pinched his cheeks. Abao may have been suffering recently. It was a little bigger than before, but his face was no longer puffed up, "Tsk tsk, whose noble son is this?"

The little girl was very proud, and helped A Bao to straighten out her clothes, "I see how dare that ugly bastard call our A Bao a bumpkin?"

A Bao was a little embarrassed, twisted his little hands and said in a low voice: "Sister Jiaojiao, the master said, we can't speak ill of others behind their backs. Although Junya has pimples on her face, she is not ugly."

Jun Ya was the classmate who took the lead in bullying him, she was fat and had red pimples all over her face.

Jiaojiao curled her lips, "Anything less beautiful than ours is called ugly."

Gu Ci couldn't help laughing: "Go out and have a look, how many people can you find on this street that are prettier than you?"

"Can't find it."

"Aren't they all ugly?"

The little girl: "... Anyway, she is not as good-looking as me."

Gu Ci: "..."

With the fact that school students are better looking, the little girl is very concerned about dressing up this younger brother, Bao, and made him three beautiful gowns for him to wear differently.

The money is a pleasure to spend, but looking at the purse, the little girl is thinking about how to save on food every day.

Seeing the little girl's stingy appearance, Gu Ci was annoyed and funny, so he could only think about it by himself, and then find a job with more money.

In addition to maintaining the daily expenses, Gu Ci actually has a bigger plan - he wants to change to a better house.

The foundations in the town are precious and the soil is precious. You can build a luxurious house in the village for 50 taels. In the town, you can only buy a second-hand small house. The location is not very good. There are often some women who yell at chickens and dogs for robbers.

Gu Cibai spent most of her time helping out in restaurants, and she was afraid that the little girl would encounter these things at home, so she wanted to change her place of residence.
