After leaving Zhiyuan Bookstore, Gu Qin still felt as if she was in a dream. She silently looked at Lu Manman walking with Gu Heng, and was filled with emotions in her heart. Lu Manman was worthy of being that man's daughter, and her actions were extraordinary.
Lu Manman weighed the money in her hands. She looked at Gu Heng and saw that Gu Heng quickly moved his gaze away from her. The corners of her lips moved. She was about to say that it would be good to give him the money.
Ask him not to look down on him. After all, he spent three taels of his family's silver to buy Shuhen ointment in the medicine hall, and he was very unhappy.
But... looking at his attitude towards her, she decided to give the money to Gu Qin: "Auntie."
"What?" Gu Qin walked up to Lu Manman.
Lu Manman took Gu Qin's hand and put the silver into Gu Qin's hand.
Gu Qin was stunned for a moment when she looked at the money in her hand, and then handed it back to Lu Manman: "Whatever you want to do for Auntie, keep your own money yourself."
Lu Manman insisted that Gu Qin collect the money: "Auntie, if you don't treat me as an outsider, I will naturally treat you as one of my own. I eat at your house, live in your house, and you pay for my medical treatment.
If I don’t have any money, I’ll forget about it. If I have money, how can I not give it to you?”
"Then it doesn't take so much."
"It's more than twenty taels, but it's not much. Auntie just keep it." Lu Manman didn't give Gu Qin a chance to refuse: "If Auntie doesn't think it's good, then you can take us to buy some meat and some refined grains.
, I want to eat braised pork and rice."
"Didn't you eat well at noon today?" Thinking of the noon meal, even during the Chinese New Year, her family didn't eat that well.
Lu Manman smiled awkwardly: "It's good to eat." It's just that I didn't feel comfortable eating it. The food was good and the meat was good, but the taste was a bit bad, so she wanted to make it herself.
"Then still buy it?"
"Auntie, we are rich now, and Gu Heng is growing taller, so he needs to eat more meat."
"You girl, you want to eat it yourself but you still want to talk to Brother Heng about it." Gu Qin nodded Lu Manman's nose lovingly, and laughed dumbly when she saw Lu Manman pouting at her.
"Auntie, go ahead and buy whatever you need. I will make good money and honor you by giving you more money."
Gu Qin saw Lu Manman acting coquettishly towards her, and after hearing Lu Manman's words, she felt something in her heart: "Okay, Auntie will take you to buy meat and refined grains right now."
"Well, I need to buy more seasonings. When I get back, I'll let my aunt try my cooking." Lu Manman said quickly.
"Okay, okay, listen to Manman." Gu Qin took Lu Manman's hand and patted it. As he pulled her forward, he looked at Gu Heng standing aside: "You have to remember how good Manman is to you.
I think of you with all the good things."
"..." Gu Heng paused. Lu Manman was just using him as an excuse, but his mother actually believed it. He looked at the two extremely close people walking in front of him. If they were unfamiliar,
People might think that the two of them are mother and daughter. Originally, he wanted to make Gu Qin gradually hate Lu Manman little by little, but now it seems that Gu Qin is afraid of Lu Manman.
Like it even more.
But... besides being able to draw and write, Lu Manman is also so talented in business?
If "A Dream of Red Mansions" had not appeared, Gu Heng was sure that Lu Manman's paintings would only cost about one tael to three taels of silver at most, and it would be impossible to sell them for twenty taels.
Lu Manman didn't know what Gu Heng was thinking. Even if she knew, she wouldn't care. Since she has money now, she can buy, buy, buy all kinds of things.
Gu Qin was carrying large and small bags of things. Even though the heavy ones had been thrown to Gu Heng, the things in her hands were not light: "Manman, do you still want to buy them?"
"Auntie, come and see if these are pepper seedlings?" Lu Manman pointed at the green seedlings placed on the ground by the vendor.
"This... I don't know, Auntie, but what is chili pepper?" Gu Qin looked at Lu Manman in confusion. Seeing that she was still staring at the chili pepper seedlings, she couldn't help but look at Gu Heng.
Gu Heng opened his mouth to say that he didn't know, but when he met Gu Qin's eyes, he tentatively said: "I just saw Lu Manman buying some dried red fruits. That stuff is a bit spicy. I'm afraid this is it."
seedling."
Lu Manman nodded quickly, Gu Heng was really smart: "Yes, that's it."
"Red fruit, spicy? Brother Heng, have you ever eaten it?" Gu Qin looked at Gu Heng doubtfully, they lived and ate together, why didn't she know about it.
Gu Heng's eyes flashed when he heard this. His mother was really smart: "The boy in the dry goods store just said it."
Have you said it before? Lu Manman looked at Gu Heng deeply. She didn't remember it. But when Gu Qin nodded, she didn't delve into the issue further: "Auntie, let's buy some and plant some."
"I haven't grown this thing before, and I don't know if it is easy to grow." Gu Qin hesitated.
"Auntie, this thing is easy to grow and doesn't take up much space. It can also be grown in the yard. The fruits produced are red and look festive when hung." The vendor promoted.
"this……"
"Auntie, he's not lying. This thing should be easy to grow. If it's difficult to grow, it only costs a few cents." Lu Manman said while helping the young man selling seedlings.
"Okay, but your pennies per plant are too expensive. You have to sell me fifteen plants for at least ten cents, otherwise I won't buy them."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Gu Qin took the pepper seedlings handed over by the hawker, inspected their roots one by one, and then paid ten cents to the hawker: "We have almost sold the things, we have to get on the bullock cart quickly, otherwise we will be late.
I just have to walk back."
"Well, let's go back then." Lu Manman agreed. She bought grain, meat and a lot of seasonings. She was satisfied. If she still lacks anything later, she can just go to the city to buy it. Anyway, life is boring, so there is no need to go to the city.
A kind of fun.
An ox cart at the gate of the county town.
The aunts were waiting impatiently. One of them looked at Gu Wu who was driving the car: "When can we go back?"
"Wait a little longer. When we first got off the bus, Gu Qin told me to wait for them to go back together."
"It's no wonder that this person is not lovable. She doesn't know the time when she goes into town. She has so many of us waiting for her here just because she has a good son."
"Aunt Guihua, if you have a son who can read like Gu Heng, we can wait for you... Haha..."
"Who from the Gu Hu family speaks like you! Even if I don't have a son, my two daughters are worse than others." Aunt Guihua glared at the Gu Hu family with dissatisfaction: "It's you,
After marrying into Gu Hu's family for so many years, I haven't seen a single egg. If I were you, I would just keep my head hidden."
"Xu Guihua, don't think that you will take Qiao when I call you aunt. My Gu Hu doesn't even dare to say anything about me whether I can lay eggs or not. Why do you say that?" The Gu Hu family was angry. She was the one who had not given birth to children for many years.
of pain.
Xu Guihua snorted coldly, and wanted to say something else. When she saw Gu Heng and the others walking towards them, looking at the large and small bags in their hands, especially when Gu Heng was carrying a backpack, her eyes suddenly turned hot: "Isn't it Gu?"
Heng and Lu Manman are really going to get married? But that’s not right, even if they are going to get married, it’s still too early to buy meat.” This chapter has been completed!
