Chapter 11 Education
She originally wanted to say, let’s get married together. You will make things difficult for your parents and will also cause problems for the Zhao family.
"It's like this Leilei, you don't know how outrageous our mother is, she gave the Gu family an extra 200 yuan as a gift.
"I went to the county yesterday, and I originally planned to give it to the two of us. When I was shopping for clothes and accessories, I happened to meet someone talking about the Gu family, and the news about our family adding betrothal gifts became a hot topic.
“I never knew that the Gu family was so poor. It seemed that they didn’t even have any decent furniture at home.
“Although Gu Errong seems to work in the Water and Electricity Bureau, I heard that he There is no establishment, and I will probably be fired in August this year.
"Well, I also wanted to make my parents look good when I bought furniture. I bought it on credit."
Guan Lei felt nervous, fearing that her sister would tell her that she didn't want to change her marriage.
She quickly said: "Sister, I understand you. Mom is a sharp-tongued person, don't worry, I'll tell her. The Gu family is actually pretty good. I heard that Gu Errong is quite energetic. "
"I'm fine, Leilei." Guan Youshuang patted her sister's hand, "I have the strength to serve his parents when I get married. As long as you live well, I will be happy."< br>
"Thank you, sister."
"The clothes and accessories I bought for us should arrive tomorrow. There are too many things today and I can't carry them. The store owner is coming to our town tomorrow to promote it, so he will help me by the way. Let's bring it down."
"Sister, you bought me some clothes." Guan Lei felt so ashamed when she thought about her shopping spree today.
"Well, we are sisters, and we are similar in body shape, so I will buy an extra set. Don't think too much about it. I am a sister, so I should give you a wedding gift."

Guan Ruijie has been howling for a long time and feels like he has no tears left.
He waited and waited, but couldn't wait for anyone to come out. He felt anxious and afraid.
Zhang Caihe was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth on the ground, opening the door curtain to peek at his son secretly from time to time.
She didn’t know what medicine her eldest daughter was selling in her gourd, and she wanted to go out and pull up her precious son several times.
But thinking about the one hundred yuan, I still held back.
Leilei likes to listen to music, and she wants to give Leilei another tape recorder.
She went to the store and asked, and the latest model of tape recorder cost more than 70 yuan.
She simply took out a handful of cotton from the kang cabinet, divided it into two small balls and stuffed them into her ears.
He who does not hear is clean.
After Guan Youshuang and Guan Lei finished their heart-to-heart talk, they walked out.
Hearing the noise, Guan Ruijie started a new round of howling like ghosts and wolves.
Guan Youshuang walked over, squatted next to him, and asked: "I heard that there are earth gods under the yard. I also heard that the earth gods have a bad temper. If anyone disturbs his sleep, he will catch anyone. Go down to the ground.”
Guan Ruijie jumped up in fright when he heard this, and kept looking at the ground, for fear that the land god would come to catch him.
"Don't worry, you are up now. The land god will not come to catch you, but there must be no next time." Guan Youshuang patted the soil on his body for his younger brother and said, "Our little brother Jie is a man, and men bleed but don’t shed tears, don’t you think so?”
Guan Ruijie nodded.
"Sister, I know you want a pistol, but mom and dad are not obligated to meet all your requests. We must learn to exchange our own value for what we want, do you understand?"
"My own value?"
"Yes, we can communicate with our parents in advance about our own value, such as labor, grades, etc. For example, if we score 90 points on this exam, we hope to get a pistol. So, when you arrive You can use your transcript to exchange for what you want. Do you understand? ""Yes, but I have never scored 90 points," Guan Ruijie said frustratedly.
"Sister, I'm just giving you an example. Let's do this. I promise you now that if you arrange the firewood in the backyard tonight, I will buy you a pistol. How about it?"< br>
Guan Ruijie’s eyes lit up and he repeatedly asked the eldest sister if it was true.
"Of course it's true. Just be careful and we'll buy the pistol right away. If the store is closed, we'll buy it tomorrow. In short, you can choose the one you want most."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Guan Ruijie wiped away his tears and ran towards the backyard, "I will definitely keep things in order."
"Okay, I believe you."
Guan Lei, who had been standing on the steps watching this scene, was very surprised.
In the last life, my sister had never treated her brother like this. She had always been like her mother, obedient to her brother's words and responded to his requests. Even if she saw his brother acting recklessly and rolling around, she would beg and coax him in every possible way.
She actually wanted to teach her younger brother, but he didn't listen to her at all. As time went by, he turned into an idle second-rate.
Also surprised were Zhang Caihe and Guan Xingguo.
Zhang Caihe had her ears plugged, but her son’s shouts about arranging the firewood in the backyard still reached her ears.
She quickly pulled the cotton out of her ears and asked Guan Xingguo: "Did Xiaojie talk just now, saying that he was going to organize the firewood in the backyard?"
"Yes, Youshuang I'm trying to reason with him, and it seems to make sense." Guan Xingguo took a breath of dry cigarette, "I think Youshuang is suddenly different from before."
Zhang Caihe sneered and said, "Of course it's different, suddenly. "Liao Xie is very talkative and doesn't take me as a mother seriously."
"You're a big kid, please stop scolding me less"
Zhang Caihe stared. She glanced at him and walked out of the house.
For her, the most important thing now is to get the 100 yuan.
Guan Youshuang stood at the door of the backyard, turned on the light bulb in the backyard, and looked at her brother.
Zhang Caihe walked over with a smile, but seeing his son holding such a large pile of firewood, it felt like a knife had been inserted in his heart, and he stopped laughing instantly.
Looking at the 15-watt light bulb again, I couldn't help but feel distressed about the electricity bill, so I said: "Youshuang, it's getting dark now. You all should go to bed. Let's get back to work tomorrow."
She actually wanted to say, let her brother go to bed quickly, but after thinking for a moment, she just spit out "you".
"Mom, I'm not sleepy yet. This is between me and my eldest sister. Please go in the house quickly." Before Guan Youshuang could speak, Guan Ruijie shouted.
“But this light bulb consumes electricity.” Zhang Caihe looked at the stars in the sky, “It won’t rain tomorrow, so it won’t take half a day to arrange firewood.”
Guan Youshuang He took out the 100 yuan and said, "Mom, Xiaojie is a man. He will definitely do what he promises. Don't say anything anymore. I'll give you the money. You can go back to the house."
"Yes, Mom, I think my sister is quite good at educating, so you can just leave your brother to her." Guan Lei also came over to chat.
Zhang Caihe quickly took the money and said, "Oh, okay, okay, then mom will go back to the house first."
Then he took a look at the backyard, hardened his heart, and returned to the main place. Room.
"I'm going to help my brother too." Guan Lei said, winking at Guan Youshuang, and whispering, "Sister, you can go to the room and rest for a while, I will help you supervise him."
