--

The pig's offal, five pounds of pork fat and and a big bone stick, the weight of her broken basket totaled ten pounds.

Gu Chunzhu laboriously move things to the stall and saw Su Wangqin with fewer shrimps. She hurriedly scooped ten pieces of shrimps in a bowl and sent them to the butcher's wife

The butcher's wife did not expect it to be actually delivered, She thought Gu Chunzu was just talking about it. She felt moved and told Gu Chunzu that the next time she buys meat, it'll be cheaper

Gu Chunzu came back holding the empty bowl, Su Wang Qin bucket of shrimp has already bottomed out. She said with surprise : " Its sold out so quickly?."

"At last, when there's a bowl of shrimp left an old woman asked if i could give it to her for 4 coppers, I agreed"

Su Wangqin said honestly.

Gu Chunzhu looked at him with a smile on her face, she knew that this fellow was an honest and kind person.

She thanked Uncle Zheng for helping her look after her things, then she and Su Wangqin prepared to go home.

Su Wangqin directly snatched her broken basket full pork fat and big bone stick. Gu Chunzhu was also accustomed to his character like this. She ran to the rice grain shop with another empty basket and bought a lot of spices for stewing.

On the way home, Gu Chunzhu felt pain about the silver that she spent today. She asked Su Wangqin while walking: "Brother Wang, do you think I spent too much money quickly? I spent another silver today."

" No! This lard can be eaten for a long time. "He answered honestly.

"Actually, eating vegetable oil is more economical but after I was awakened that day, I thought about letting the children live a better life, so its hard to avoid spending money quickly."

Gu Chunzhu reflected on herself. Su Wangqin was a kind person, now that they are husband and wife, things should be discussed.

"Well, I will also work hard to make money for you and your children."

"Its very kind of you, Brother Wang" Today, when she sold shrimps she also earned nearly 20 coppers . Gu Chunzhu thought that life was hopeful. She hugged Su Wangqin on tiptoe.

Su Wangqin whole face and ears turned red like a cooked shrimp. Gu Chunzhu hurriedly released him. She was overjoyed and forgot that he was a conservative ancient man.

The two returned to Xiaohetou Village and saw the two children in the courtyard. The muddy ground in the courtyard was lined with branches. An An jumped in and out. Xiao Cheng sat quietly on the wooden pier on the side.

"An An, Xiao Cheng." Seeing the two children, Gu Chunzhu's exhaustion flew away.

"Mother, you are back!" An An rushed over and hugged Gu Chunzhu's thigh again. She and Gu Chunzu are getting closer and closer.

Gu Chunzhu put away her back basket and held her, "Why didn't you go out with your brother?"

"My Brother said we should look after the seedlings, An An wants to eat vegetables, An An and brother watered them." An An said while playing with her hair. No one had braided her since Gu Chunzhu went out today.

"Brother is right, mother is proud about XiaoCheng and An An." Gu Chunzhu said as she took out a comb from the house and sat under the sun to combed An An's hair.

This time she wore a sheep horn braid, the little braid hung down on her ears and was very cute.

"Do I look good, father?" An An was very satisfied with her new braid. Su Wangqin put back the basket in the stove room and was hugged by An An.

"Good-looking!" Su Wangqin took An'an and walked to Gu Chunzhu's side.

Thick palms spread out in front of her eyes. "Chun Zhu, the shrimp's money hasn't been paid to others. Give me some money."

What if the money for the shrimp is all sheer. The man's courage is not like a villager.

Gu Chunzhu didn't say anything. She took out the copper plates that were tied with strings and put them in Su Wangqin's palm.

Su Wangqin took the money and put An An down and left the house to pay the money to others. .

Gu Chunzhu thought of something.

She took out the 20 coppers from her sleeves, given by the butcher woman, and counted fifteen coppers. She waved it to Xiaocheng. "This is the money you earned for the shrimp you caught yesterday. It belongs to you!"

"I don't want it." Xiaocheng didn't come over, he remained sitting on the wooden pier.

"I don't have much money at home, and I have never given you pocket money."

Gu Chunzhu walked to Xiaocheng's side and put fifteen coppers into his palm.

"Mother is an adult who couldn't take children's money. You take An'an to buy a snack "

Xiaocheng held fifteen copper plates on his hand, pursed his lips, the outline of his baby face wrinkled.

"Brother, I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus candy." Gu Chunzhu raised an eyebrow at An An, indicating something. An An two fleshy small arms raised and hugged Xiao Cheng's arm. She said cutely "Brother, let's go buy it! "

There is a small shop in Xiaohetou Village, selling some simple groceries.

"Thank you!" Xiaocheng stood up and took her sister's hand, preparing to go out, he turned his head and snorted towards Gu Chunzhu a few times, then he ran away with An'an.

Gu Chunzhu looked at the two little backs that left a smile on her face.

When she entered the stove room, she took out the pork fat and rinsed it with water. It was then cut into small and even pieces.

It is easy to scorch boiled lard when it is cut into small pieces, It will not boil if it is too large.

After cutting the pork fat and preparing to go get the pot, a woman broke into their courtyard, it was sister-in-law Fu next door.

She was panicking and pulled Gu Chunzhu's hand while panting and said, "Xiaocheng!, Xiaocheng was caught and beaten by your second sister in law at the entrance door of the shop, saying he was a thief, go and see him quickly. Go"

She ran so fast that she held her back and gasped.

"Sister-in-law Fu, help me take a look at the house. I'll take a look there."

Gu Chunzhu was so shocked that the kitchen knife fell on the chopping board. She ran towards the shop before she could wash her hands.

A lot of people gathered around the shop, and Qiu's sharp voice was heard from the crowd, "... kill you a son of a bitch, a little bitch that steals money, our Su family gave you food and drink and you steal our money!. "

" I didn't steal it! "Xiao Cheng's stubborn voice was no lower than Qiu shi

"You dare to quibble, Is some shameless people teaching you to steal money, I will kill you thief ..." Qiu's slap is about to fall when her hand was held by Gu Chunzhu.

Gu Chunzhu clasped her hand and stared at her sharply, seeing a slap mark on Xiaocheng's face, she flung Qiu Shi with force. Qui shi stumbled.

"Wooo ... mother, second aunt said that brother stole money, second aunt is speaking nonsense." An An saw Gu Chunzhu coming and cried aloud. Her tears were like peas, pouring nonstop.

Her little face flushed and tears on her big eyes kept rolling down. The people who are watching all felt distressed to see An An's appearance.
