In the town school.

As soon as Gao Yun finished school, he heard from the concierge that his father was looking for him.

Gao Yun asked Zhao Qingyun not to go to the canteen to get him a meal, so he quickly walked out of the school and saw Father Gao standing outside, as well as the ox cart with baskets on it.

"Dad?" Gao Yun came out and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Are you bringing me new food from the shop?" Gao Yun's first reaction was this.

He was still a little greedy, after all, every time it was delivered, it tasted very good.

Dad Gao patted him on the head, "Where can there be so much food? This time I'm here to give you charcoal."

Seeing his greedy look, Father Gao rolled his eyes unceremoniously. This kid was really too much of a foodie.

"Charcoal?" Gao Yun ignored the disappointment that was not about food. When he heard the word charcoal, he waved his hand and said, "Dad, I don't want new charcoal. Didn't you give me money to buy charcoal before? I have already bought it with my classmates. They are all piled up in the school building, I’m sure there will be enough.”

Of course, the prerequisite for sufficient use is to use it sparingly. Gao Yun has long developed the habit of frugality since he lived with Zhao Qingyun.

He knew that studying was expensive, and just paper, ink, pen and inkstone was a huge expense. When it came to charcoal, he tried to be as frugal as possible.

"Give those to me. I'll take them back and use them. You can use these." Gao Gao said.

Gao Yun heard vaguely, "Dad, why are you making it so complicated? Do you want to change me to better charcoal? Why don't you use slag charcoal in your shop?"

Gao Yun said with a smile while looking at the charcoal on the bullock cart. When he saw the good charcoal inside, Gao Yun raised his head angrily and was about to say something about Gao Lao.

As a result, when he looked up, he saw the angry and sneering expression of Father Gao.

"Zhazha charcoal? Huh? Is this what you bought?"

Gao Yun instantly felt guilty, "Dad, I... I was just joking, and besides..."

Seeing two large baskets of good charcoal from the corner of his eye, Gao Yun instantly became energetic and counterattacked, "You are still spending money to buy such good charcoal? You are wasting it. I want to tell my mother."

"Haha, you can say whatever you want, these charcoals don't cost any money anyway."

"No money?" Gao Yun waved his hand, obviously not believing it, and even laughed at Dad Gao, "Dad, you don't even have a good reason for lying. Why don't you need money? It's not like pie in the sky. Don’t be deceived, I will be too embarrassed to go back to the village to be with my mother..."

"Your elder brother burned the charcoal."

Father Gao calmly uttered a word and looked at Gao Yun and stopped abruptly.

Gao Yun finally came to his senses after a while and looked at him suddenly, "Ah? Brother burned charcoal? When will brother have less charcoal?"

"Your eldest brother is smart, you can get it just by giving it a try." Dad Gao told the truth.

Gao Yun, "..." was shocked, but I didn't say anything.

"Ahem, dad, you'd better take it back and use it. It's not much, I'll just use what I bought before."

"Oh, there are quite a lot. I see that everyone from your school has come to buy charcoal from home recently."

"What? Did everyone in the school buy charcoal from our house?" Gao Yun was shocked.

His voice was too loud and attracted the attention of the students next to him. He quickly covered his mouth and fooled the other students to leave with a smile. Then he took Gao Gao to the side and lowered his voice and said, "Dad, brother, this is too much." It’s amazing, recently all my classmates in the school have asked for leave to buy charcoal.”

"I heard it's easy to use and cheap."

"Oh my God, it was my eldest brother who burned it."

"By the way, if you sell it so cheaply, won't you lose money?" Various questions popped up in Gao Yun's mind.

Dad Gao answered all the questions.

Gao Yun instantly felt as if he was walking unsteadily.

Suddenly, he slapped Dad Gao on the shoulder, "Dad, I think that in order to keep the peace in the next period of time, we must not say that these charcoals were burned by my eldest brother." "Don't give me such good charcoal either. Just ask my eldest brother to give me the same crushed charcoal as my classmates."

Father Gao actually agreed with him to keep a low profile. After all, although his family's conditions were better, he still had simple living habits.

"Your elder brother said there is no more broken charcoal."

"What should we do?" Gao Yun glared.

Dad Gao thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, just crush the charcoal."

"You can't pull it back anymore, don't waste time."

Gao Yun called it a luxury in his heart, but he had no better way, so he could only agree with tears.

Gao Yun returned to the school building with a large amount of artificial crushed charcoal, which attracted Zhao Qingyun's attention. After seeing Gao off, Zhao Qingyun looked around and suddenly asked, "Where is your food box?"

"Yunzhi, it's not about the food box now, let me tell you..." Gao Yun took Zhao Qingyun in the corner and told him the source of the charcoal, especially praising his elder brother's greatness.

After Zhao Qingyun listened, he looked at Gao Yun and asked seriously, "Your elder brother is indeed very good. Such good charcoal sold so cheaply is good news to our students. Should you study harder and protect your elder brother?" "

"Ah?" Gao Yun didn't understand why the topic changed from showing off his eldest brother to protecting his eldest brother.

Zhao Qingyun's eyes were full of maturity and stability, "Your eldest brother only sells charcoal in a small area, which is nothing. But once those big businessmen and big families hear that your eldest brother is good at burning charcoal, will they find ways to deceive the recipe?" past?"

"I don't know what methods these people will use to deal with your brother, but I know that if you want to resist, you will definitely not end well."

"So, if you are really grateful to your elder brother, you should study hard, become a Jinshi, and serve as an official."

"You are right."

The smile on Gao Yun's face disappeared. He thought of what happened before Gao Xuan. Although Liu Yuanyuan first made trouble for Liu Juren, it also showed that their family did not have a backer, so they could be easily bullied.

He didn't want to see his elder brother and sister-in-law being bullied.

From that day on, Gao Yun studied harder, and his scores in every exam in the school steadily improved, which surprised even Zhao Qingyun.

And Gao Yun opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and his studies became more and more successful.

in the village.

On the tenth day, Xiang Xi finally counted the [-] kilograms of vermicelli and thousands of kilograms of fish balls that Wang Wen wanted.

After getting ready, pack the boxes and borrow an ox cart before sending them to the town.

This time most of the men in the village helped, with Gao Sachs leading the way and Xiang Xi following along.

Arrive at the county town.

Xiang Xi said, "I know the location of the shop. It's over here, go to the left..."

With Xiang Xi leading the way, the ox cart team soon arrived at East Street.

Wang Wen and Lin Senquan had been waiting in the room for a long time, and would come out to take a look from time to time.

"Sister Xi..."

"Sister Xi is here."

Wang Wen ran out again and happened to see Xiang Xi riding an ox cart in front of the shop.

"So much?"

"Fortunately, I have prepared many boys to help."
