Chapter 85 (1/2)
”That's it. Caifeng, come and have a look. What did I bring you?”
In order to prevent Caifeng's father from breaking with him, Gu Zheng quickly changed the topic in the yard.
Seeing Gu Zheng waving at her, Caifeng was inexplicably excited: ”brother Gu, did you bring me something?”
What is it?
Is it the brightest red head rope on the shelf of the salesmen in the streets? Or maltose for dessert?
Whatever it is, she likes it as long as it is given by brother Gu.
Unfortunately, such joy did not last for two seconds. Caifeng saw the true face of her gift.
”Brother Gu, this is what you brought for me?”
”Yes! I think you and your aunt will be partners in the dark at night. Even if you wash clothes, it needs a bright light, doesn't it?”
”Well, don't be too careful. This eye is a lifetime thing,” said Gu Zheng sincerely, and handed over the kerosene lamp in his hand. With a small oil tank on one side, it was enough for Caifeng's family for two months.
These things that can be bought with a little copper are luxury in the eyes of the refugees who have left their hometown and started from scratch.
It belongs to the category of non necessities in their family.
Seeing such a gift, Caifeng's outstretched hand was stunned on the spot, while Caifeng's mother was too satisfied with the gift. She deliberately wiped some wet hands on her apron, thanked her and took the gift.
”Oh, how can this make? Thank you. I said Caifeng, what are you doing? Come and give me a hand and stew the rice. Let's have a good meal together in the evening.”
”Oh, good.” by her mother's reminding, Caifeng reacted. In Gu Zheng's confused eyes, she made a big red face, threw the braided braid behind her head and turned her head into the kitchen.
Looking at the young girl with infinite youth, Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled.
After he put everything in the back seat of the car into the house, he carefully took out the small cloth bag with money in his arms.
After removing the silver horn that was wronged out of the little fat man's hands today, Gu Zheng's work alone one day was as much as 12 copper dollars.
The remaining copper pile worth eleven copper dollars had been spent by him in the grocery store.
If you follow Gu Zheng's current law and want to save enough redemption money, you'll probably be in your 70s and 80s.
But Gu Zheng, who does tasks for others, is not in a hurry.
After saving his ”huge sum of money”, he closed the door and went back to the yard.
”Oh, by the way, Dashan, Dalin, come and see what this is?” Gu Zheng, who seemed to remember something, touched his pants pocket and took out two pieces of sugar that were about to be dried off from the innermost side.
That kind of white, cheap hard candy can buy two sweet mouths with only one copper. It is a rare luxury for Dashan and Dalin.
