"Mom, don't worry, I won't want it." Gu Xiaoling nodded.
"I know that Xiao Jin's child is in a difficult life. But every family has sutras that are difficult to recite. Some things can be settled, so forget it." Wang Fengzhi nodded.
Gu Xiaoling knew that her mother was talking about the clothes she had yesterday, and she knew what her mother had, so she didn't say anything more.
When Gu Jin returned home, he made a dumpling, and the whole family happily finished the dumplings.
At the dining table, Gu Jin took out another two hundred yuan and handed it to Li Mei. Li Mei was so happy that she could not close her mouth.
She couldn't understand what Gu Jin was talking about signing a contract. She could get so much money by doing it, but she believed that Gu Jin was definitely not doing anything shameful.
After dinner, Gu Jin told Shen Qingsong about the signing of the contract with Wen Hanyu this morning, and said that Wen Hanyu would need 300 packs of herbs within five days, and she wanted to ask Gu Xiaoling for help.
Shen Qingsong had no objection. He knew that Gu Xiaoling and Liu Qin were the only ones who were good to her at home. Now Gu Jin was thinking about repaying Gu Xiaoling, so he naturally agreed.
"The bamboo baskets in the warehousing room may not be enough. I will go to the entrance of the village to find carpenter Master Xiao to buy a few. Three hundred bags of herbs require a lot of materials. I will go up the mountain with you in the afternoon." Shen Qingsong said.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qingsong took the initiative to support her career, and she wanted to take Gu Xiaoling to make money, so Shen Qingsong easily agreed.
She felt more and more that the man standing in front of her was as dazzling as the sun, and there was no corner in his heart that could not be found.
After discussing the specific matters, the two of them took action separately. Shen Qingsong went to Master Xiao to buy bamboo baskets. Gu Jin went to the next village to call Gu Xiaoling. After a few greetings, they walked to the mountain of Baishan Village. Shen Qingsong was already waiting at the foot of the mountain.
The three of them walked into the mountains with bamboo baskets on their backs. In the severe winter of December, the medicinal materials on the mountains were growing vigorously like late autumn.
Gu Xiaoling couldn't help but lit up her eyes as she looked at her, "All the medicinal materials here have been picked, I'm afraid they can be sold for more than ten yuan."
Gu Jin explained the several medicinal materials needed, and then they started to get busy. The three of them were busy until it was almost dark and they had already picked seven bamboo baskets of medicinal materials.
This is the first time Gu Xiaoling has been in the mountains. She is excited to see all kinds of birds and beasts in the mountains. She is far more excited than to make money by picking herbs. On the way down the mountain, she kept saying to Gu Jin, "This pheasant is so big and so fat. It would be great to catch it and eat it home."
"What's the difficulty?" Gu Jin winked at Shen Qingsong.
Shen Qingsong picked two branches from the dead tree beside him, aimed at the flying pheasant and threw them over, and then the pheasant landed on the ground.
Gu Jin picked up the pheasant and each of Gu Xiaoling. "Take it back and let your second aunt cook it for you to eat in the evening. After working hard for the afternoon, it's time to eat something good."
Three hundred packets of herbal tea require her, Shen Qingsong and Gu Xiaoling to pick raw materials for three days. The labor cost must be controlled within 100 yuan. When the demand increases in the future, the medicinal materials will also require cost.
In Gu Xiaoling's surprised gaze, Gu Jin gave Gu Xiaoling another ten yuan, "This is your salary today."
"This is not possible. I'm just here to help you, how can I ask for your money?" Gu Xiaoling widened her eyes and waved her hands repeatedly.
"You have worked hard to help us collect herbs this afternoon. This money is what you deserve for your labor. Take it." Shen Qingsong said.
Gu Jin smiled and stuffed the pheasant and money into Gu Xiaoling's hands, "Look, the third brother has said that, let's continue."
Gu Xiaoling still didn't dare to ask for it. If she hadn't been afraid of spilling out the medicinal materials in her backpack, she would have run down the mountain long ago. "Xiao Jin, I voluntarily came to help you collect herbs. I'll accept this pheasant. I really can't ask for the money."
Ten yuan! Her father Gu Dafu and her mother can only earn so much if they go out to work every month!
