Chapter 32 Thoughts
The Gu family hired three workers to help in the greenhouse. The three workers were all from the countryside below, and they cherished this hard-won job. After all, a monthly salary of 300 yuan also includes food and lodging. Consumption is common in this country. The salary is high for a small town that is still relatively low.And it’s just planting land, these are what they are best at. Generally, factories in county towns not only rely on connections to go through the back door, but also do not include food and lodging. They have to work late every day, and the high cost of a month is only 400 yuan. Money, it is absolutely nothing for them to get three hundred for just helping to plant and take care of the greenhouse.

So the three of them worked very hard, just to be able to eat a few pieces of oily braised pork at noon every day, and everyone worked hard.

It's not a good thing for those three workers to be too diligent. If they don't care about their mother, they will have no work to do, and there will be nothing else to do except housework every day.After being busy for so many years, it really made her feel uncomfortable to suddenly be idle.The first few days were fine, and Mama Gu also felt that such a leisurely life was quite comfortable, but after three days, Mama Gu became anxious.She was used to being busy, and she was suddenly free. The feeling of doing nothing made her extremely anxious, and every little thing made her want to get angry.

The hurt Gu Xiaolan once thought that her mother's menopause was seriously advanced. She remembered that Gu's mother had reached menopause before, and that was it. She would stare at her and nag all day long, or get angry at every turn. This situation lasted for three years.When Gu Xiaolan thought of the situation at that time, he couldn't help shivering.But Gu Ma is only 35 this year, it is impossible, she must be thinking left.

Throwing away this unreliable possibility, then Gu Ma guesses that she has lived too leisurely recently, and the life of doing nothing has made her feel less secure in her heart.This feeling varies from person to person. Some people naturally like to be busy and use busyness to enrich their lives. For example, Gu Ma, who has nothing to do a day or two is fine, but she will become restless after a long time.

Guessing the reason for Gu's mother's anxiety, Gu Xiaolan couldn't help but sighed in his heart, thinking: Mom is still not used to enjoying happiness, hey.

If Mama Gu could learn from her, she would not have to worry about eating or drinking every day, sleep when she wanted to sleep, play when she didn't want to sleep, and ask grandma or dad to make some delicious food or money when she was free. If you are really bored, write a letter and send it to No. [-] Middle School to tease your elder brother or Wu Yue, that would be great.It's a small day, don't be too carefree.

But after thinking about it, Gu Xiaolan still pinched her chin with her meaty paws to give Gu Ma an idea, she couldn't keep her idle like this, even if she could bear it, no one else could bear it.Especially Gu's father, who was already tired enough to socialize outside, and had to endure Gu's mother's endless nagging when he got home, otherwise she would have to break up with Gu's mother.

Gu Xiaolan really wanted to say to Gu Ma: Mom, you can't do this.You have to find something for yourself to do and try to make your life as fulfilling as possible. You can't always count on your dad to give you something to pass the time, that won't work.Dad didn't come back after a busy day outside to listen to your nagging and complaints. After a long time, everyone will get bored. This will easily affect the relationship between the two of you as husband and wife.

But she only dared to think about this in her heart, and she absolutely dare not say it.Otherwise, the family members would not think that she was just precocious, but would directly catch her as a monster.These days are not as open as the later generations, and all kinds of weird things are accepted, and all kinds of superstitious behaviors still exist in the countryside. If the family members suspect it, even if the Gu family does not act, the neighbors around will not let it go. If you pass her, please ask a female witch to dance around her, and there will definitely be a big god or something.She is not interested in having a bunch of weird people around her.

Gu Xiaolan is still in a daze, and Gu Ma over there has already started nagging her: "I asked you to take something and go there for a long time without seeing anything, why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and give me the thing, let you do it!" Why is it so difficult to do something, it's like killing you."

Gu Xiaolan was speechless as he handed the loofah in his hand that had been peeled, removed the seeds, and dried for washing dishes and pots, and looked at Gu Ma with embarrassment, and couldn't help but think: It seems that my mother's anxiety disorder is more serious.

I don't even think about it, it takes a while to peel and remove the seeds from a loofah, so how can I bring it to her all at once?You can't just take an unpeeled loofah, or you will be punished again if you do that.

"Mom, why don't you make clothes today?" Gu Xiaolan thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Didn't I see you make clothes for other aunts a few days ago?" I will definitely spend one or two yuan to buy some snacks for Gu Xiaolan to keep at home, especially fruits such as bananas and apples, which are quite rare in this era, because Gu Xiaolan likes to eat them, so Gu's mother has never stopped eating them. her.No matter how much, there will always be stock at home.

Because of Gu’s mother’s generosity, Gu Xiaolan’s recent small life can be said to be quite comfortable. Every day, there are two big red apples for her to eat. These days, because of the inconvenient transportation, apples are still rare. The Red Fuji is about [-] cents each, and Gu Xiaolan eats two of them every day, which costs about [-] yuan.This is not available in other people's homes. You must know that you can buy half a catty of pork for a dollar. Add some cabbage and other side dishes to stir-fry together, which is enough for the whole family to satisfy their cravings.So from this side, we can see how comfortable Gu Xiaolan's little life is, and it also makes the eyes of the neighbor's children turn red with envy. One or two are thinking in their hearts, if they are also members of the Gu family How nice it would be for a child to wear new clothes and eat delicious food.

It's just that the number of celebrities who have asked Mama Gu to make clothes at home has decreased in the past few days. The most direct manifestation of the reduction in Mama Gu's income is Gu Xiaolan's snacks. Apple can only eat one a day, and bananas are still very expensive. The rare fruit was even missing, and Gu Ma became anxious because she had nothing to do.

Gu Xiaolan felt that for the sake of his own rations, he had to think of a way to solve this matter for Gu Mama.

And when Gu Ma heard Gu Xiaolan ask her this, she felt irritable. It was fine not to mention making clothes, but she got angry when she mentioned it, and said angrily: "How can there be so many people in the countryside who are willing to spend money?" Making clothes, I probably won’t do it again in the future.” This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that some people are too bad to make clothes without producing fabrics, and the clothes are made only if they are made by a town. Yes, I lived on the same street again, took the clothes and left without giving money, and acted like a family helping relatives and neighbors, even if I bought something, I would look up to your face, which made Gu Ma feel depressed when thinking about it .

Rural women basically have round waists and thick legs, and when they are bulky, they use more fabrics. This piece of clothing costs 20 yuan just for the fabric before processing, so I just took it away. He said that he didn't have any, and he felt at ease when he took advantage of the small advantage, and he was really thick-skinned.

Even Gu's mother regretted thinking about it. She knew that she should have collected a deposit before the clothes were made, and she wouldn't get into the situation where the clothes are made but the cost may not be returned.Gu's mother has a good face, and thinks it's not good for the family to help the relatives and neighbors to make it too stiff, but those people don't think so, they take advantage of it if they can, and don't want any shame.When they went to ask for money, they either found a lot of excuses to send her away, or they pretended that everyone was neighbors and did not look up to each other to prevaricate Gu's mother, which made Gu's mother very annoying.

After a pause, Mama Gu went on to say: "There are also those people who don't give the fabric, just leave when the clothes are ready, and don't even say thank you, as if someone deserves her."

Hearing Gu Ma's complaint, Gu Xiaolan paused for a moment, knowing that part of the reason for Gu Ma's recent irritability is because of this, and these people are really, since they are reluctant to part with the money, they should not come to Gu Ma to make clothes, but also want to dress well Clothes, and don't want to give money, where is there such a good thing in this world?So Gu Xiaolan rolled his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up.

She waited for Gu Ma to finish nagging and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and quickly ran back to the room to rummage through the boxes to find a new skirt that Gu Ma had just made for her yesterday. A simple pink dress, but compared with the cumbersome clothes with bowknot and lotus leaf collars that are popular outside, it is simple and elegant, and Gu Xiaolan's long flesh is like a snow dumpling, Wearing this skirt is not to mention how cute it is.

Mama Gu made this skirt and reserved it for Gu Xiaolan to wear when she went to grandma's house on Sunday, so the workmanship was very delicate.In the past few years, Gu's father went to school, and later started his own business by planting a greenhouse. The life of the Gu family is not affluent, and it is only in the past few years that life has become better.In the past, Gu's mother didn't dare to go back to her natal family, because she was afraid that several sisters in the family would get together and look down on her.Especially Gu Xiaolan's aunt, as soon as she saw Gu's mother, she would play with the gold ring on her hand intentionally or unintentionally. Isn't life worse than those of them who haven't graduated from elementary school?

Gu Xiaolan's uncle is a shrewd person. He opened a small store in a small county town, selling hardware and selling some groceries. Because he is enthusiastic enough and has a lively mind, his life is very prosperous.So much so that the aunt who compared Gu Ma with her since she was a child looked down on Gu Ma very much. Standing with her, she naturally raised her chin and said how many good things she brought back to her mother's house this time to honor her parents. , and deliberately asked Mama Gu what she had brought.In the end, I will deliberately ask Mama Gu, this time, don't make sour words like trying to take money from my parents.An angry Gu Ma would hide in her room and cry for a long time every time she came back.But no matter how angry she is, she can't help it. The life at home is so difficult. She really can't spend spare money to buy some good things for her parents, but she is not enough to use her parents' money to help the family. Every time she goes back to her mother's house, she always brings some Live animals such as chickens and ducks or vegetables raised at home used to be.

Gu Xiaolan's eldest aunt, also known as Gu Ma's sister-in-law, is very good at life. She never looked down on Gu Ma just because she was short of money.She also kept an account in her heart, although the eldest sister-in-law brought a lot of things every time she came back, but which time the whole family didn't come together to eat and take, the little things she bought were not enough for her to take from home.On the contrary, my sister-in-law (Gu Ma) brought a lot of agricultural products every time I came here. Although these things are not eye-catching, they are worth a lot.Especially if they live in the county town, they have to spend money to buy everything, and the old hen alone is worth eight or nine yuan.

Therefore, Gu Xiaolan's eldest aunt still likes Gu's mother very much, and she will not object to the Gu's family needing help with anything, and sometimes blows the pillow breeze in front of her husband for the Gu's family.

But even so, Mama Gu still held her breath, thinking that one day she would go back to her mother's house in a glamorous manner, and suppress the arrogance of the eldest sister and the others, otherwise it would be hard to get rid of the bad breath in her heart.

So this time knowing that Gu Qin can rest this Sunday, Gu's mother thought about taking the two children to grandma's house to see the two old people.Just during this time, she was helping others make clothes again, so she specially made two new clothes for Gu Xiaolan, in order to be able to change them at grandma's house, and also to stimulate that mean elder sister of hers, so that She also sees how good her life is now.

After changing her clothes, Gu Xiaolan circled around Gu's mother, yelling incessantly: "I'm going to grandma's house, I'm going now, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going..." shouted In the end, they even sang in the tone of a ballad, which annoyed Mama Gu.

Grandma Gu saw that her granddaughter's hot steamed buns were sweating. Although she felt sore, she was more distressed. She couldn't help but said: "Since the child wants to go to her grandma's house, you can take her there. So I haven't seen you for a long time, and I think your in-laws should be panicking. Anyway, your eldest brother's family is in the county, so you can stop by to see the boss (Gu Qin), and then bring him some food and drink. That child Study hard now, eat more good food to nourish your body."

I forgot to mention that the eldest brother Gu Qin started school last week and officially entered the graduating class of the third year of high school. His studies have also started to be busy. Basically, he can only come back once a month. Sometimes it may not be possible to come back when the class is tight. Most of the time, Dad Gu went to the county to deliver vegetables to discuss business, and brought some things from home to him, and then gave some money as living expenses.

This time the eldest brother had to rest because the school had to pay tuition fees, so he only had two days off.But the amount of homework Gu Xiaolan can guess with his toes, it must be too much to die, piled up there can be as high as a hill.She had survived like this before, so Gu Xiaolan felt sympathetic when she thought of the current situation of her eldest brother.

Gu's mother also wanted to visit her parents. After all, she hadn't been there for a month or two, so she agreed after Grandma Gu said so.After tidying up the house, Gu's mother swiftly packed up the things she had brought to her eldest son, and helped Gu Xiaolan pack a few changes of clothes, then took the little girl to the station.

Along the way, Gu Xiaolan was baptized by the eyes of many people, but she accepted it calmly, without the shy and timid look of other children, especially after getting on the bus, she was surrounded by young mothers.Most of these people are dressed in fashionable clothes, and the children they hold in their arms are also dressed cutely in rain and snow. They are obviously mothers of the new era.These mothers are the most willing to spend money to package themselves and their children. What Gu Xiaolan wants is this effect, so that she can print this advertisement for Gu Mama.

So every time someone asks Gu Xiaolan where he bought his clothes, Gu Xiaolan will proudly hold his chest up and tell the person that Gu Mama made them himself.By the way, tell that person that Mama Gu processes clothes for others at home, and if she makes the fabric herself, it only costs two or three yuan for processing.Then he pointed to the clothes Gu Ma was wearing and said that Gu Ma made them herself.

Those people were obviously moved by Gu Xiaolan's words, but when they heard that Gu Ma didn't have a face in the county, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed on their faces.After all, fabrics costing more than 20 yuan and [-] yuan are not cheap these days. If there is no fixed facade, everyone really dare not give things to Gu Ma with confidence.Even if you leave it to her, where to get the clothes is still a problem. They can't just take the bus to go to a rural town just to get a dress, right?That would cost four yuan back and forth, which is really uneconomical.

One of the fashionable young mothers said to Gu Ma disappointedly: "Sister, it would be great if you could open a store in the county. You are so skillful, it's a pity that you can't open a store with this skill."

This sentence gave Gu Ma a lot of inspiration. She couldn't help but fell into deep thought, thinking over and over again about the feasibility of this matter.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Gu Xiaolan couldn't help covering his mouth and secretly laughing.It is good to have an idea, but I am afraid that if there is no idea, then everything she has done will be in vain.

 Two updates today, two updates, two are definitely fat enough~~~
