After eating, the brother put on straw sandals, put on rabbit fur hats on his heads, wrapped himself up tightly, and held a small stick in his hand. He went out in a hurry.

Guangdan looked at Ms. Fang Cuihua for a long time, wanting to say something but hesitant. Finally, he lowered his head and went out to continue on his journey.

After leaving the village, he whispered, "Brother, is it appropriate for us to go to Grandpa's house empty-handed?"

When Gouwei heard his brother ask this, he touched his rabbit fur hat a little embarrassedly, blushed slightly and said, "Mom said you have money on you."

Guangdan:————————! ! !

Staring at this big brother for a long time without saying anything, what else can I say? ?

"No, that's definitely not what I said!!" Worried that his brother might have misunderstood him, he immediately waved his hands and started to explain.

"understood."

Guangdan thought, this day has finally come, as expected, my mother will not let go of my money, so this time she said nothing and did not prepare anything for me!!!

How could he go to his grandfather's house empty-handed to get something for nothing?? Sorry!!! So!!!

Well, everything was as the old mother expected.

"Well, do you have any coins?" Gouwei's voice became softer and softer, and his head gradually lowered.

Guangdan looked at the big brother in front of him, thought for a while, and took out ten copper coins from his pocket.

"Here, I had prepared it for you, but I was worried that mother would take it away." Guangdan just wanted to know what his eldest brother would do with the money.

Gouwei took several steps back, shaking his head so hard that his arms and cheeks almost flew off: "No, no! How can I take the copper coins! You, keep it to yourself! I don't know anything!!"

"Oh my, big brother! I'm not giving it to you for free, because you fried pine nuts for us before, this is your reward!"

Guangdan hurriedly explained, he was afraid that if he didn't explain clearly, the big brother would really not accept him.

"That won't work. How can a brother get paid for doing something?" Gouwei said as he quickened his pace, feeling as if there was a dog biting him from behind.

Guangdaner: So, I am a dog? (Author, can you be a little more polite?)

At this time, the snow on the mountain path was up to the knees. Looking at his elder brother walking briskly in the snow, he felt that he was worthy of being Fang Cuihua's son!

I looked down at my skinny arms and legs, I was so weak that I couldn't take care of myself!!!

"Brother!!! Don't run! I can't run!!"

After a loud roar, the dog's tail slid directly into the ditch in the field.

"Oh my!!! I told you, don't run, don't run!" Guangdan, who was still muttering, didn't realize that he had scared Gouwei because of his sudden shouting.

Before he could help him, the dog had already climbed up by himself, brushed the snow off his trouser legs, and grinned with his teeth that looked a little yellow.

"Brother, I think we can make a toothbrush. Willow twigs are not effective enough for brushing teeth." Goudan ran over and was dazzled by his brother's small yellow teeth.

"Ah? Why? I think Liuzhi is pretty good. Aren't all the people in our village like this?" Gouwei asked cutely with his head tilted.

"I just found that my teeth are not white. I heard that rich people use pearl powder, salt and all kinds of good things to brush their teeth."

"Oh my god! Is brushing your teeth so troublesome? How do you know? What is pearl powder?"

Looking at his eldest brother's innocent little expression, Guangdan remained expressionless, then quickly stuffed his little paw into his eldest brother's pocket.

Hearing the sound of copper coins colliding, Gouwei's eyes widened, he put his hand into his pocket, and then took out a string of copper coins.

"you--"

"Okay, I'm not kidding. What I said is for you. Besides, we two brothers are going to make a lot of money together in the future! This is just an appetizer."

Guangdan thought that he was showing off very well, and he stomped the snow under his feet so that it made a crunching sound.

"Brother will work hard!" Gouwei looked at the copper coins in his hand and his eyes suddenly turned red with emotion.

This is the first time that a teenage boy has so much money on his own!

Well, it’s all because of poverty!

Guangdan didn't know how long he had been walking, but he felt like his feet were not his own. If he hadn't been a little shy, he might have been lying on his eldest brother's back.

Gouwei couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he stopped, turned around and looked at his brother seriously and said, "Let me carry you on my back. You're really too slow. I'll carry you faster!"

Empty egg: dead.

Brother, you really don’t know what the word euphemism means!

At this moment, I even felt like I was a burden to my big brother! !

"When we get to town, I'll treat you to some mutton head soup and pancakes." Lying on his eldest brother's back, Guangdan said with his saliva drooling.

Although Gouwei wanted to refuse in his heart, his mouth felt as if it was sealed by the snow on the ground, and he couldn't utter a word of no matter what.

"Do you think we can really make money by selling brushes?" After a long time, Gouwei asked in a low voice with some uncertainty.

Guangdan'er lay on his big brother's not-so-broad back, squinting at the snow-covered village not far away, tilting his head and saying lazily, "Although I can't make a lot of money, a little bit adds up to a lot, and the cost of the brush is not high."

"Hehehe, this thing has no cost. Except for the fur, we can make everything else ourselves." Gouwei became excited again as he thought about it.

In Gouwei's opinion, the labor force at home is not a cost at all. Their labor is the least valuable thing now, so making brushes is almost a cost-free thing for him.

But Guangdan doesn't think so. The cost of a brush lies in technology, labor, and materials, but these cannot be explained clearly to his elder brother.

As they approached more and more villages, the brothers were almost reaching the town.

"If it didn't snow, we could go directly over the mountain to grandpa's house and shorten the journey by half!" Gouwei said with emotion as he looked in the direction of the town.

"We can't go into the mountains when it's snowing. It's too unsafe. It's better for us to take a detour." When Guangdan thought about the big animals in the mountains being hungry in winter, he felt like a little white rabbit in the tiger's mouth.

"That's right! I wonder how our uncle's autumn hunting is going this year." As the two were talking, they could smell the delicious aroma of mutton soup.

What can be better than a bowl of mutton soup and pancakes on a snowy day???

No, there is nothing comparable in this world!!!

Guangdaner slid off his brother's back and ran to the mutton soup shop at the entrance of the town.

"What do you want to eat, little one?" A chubby middle-aged woman with her hair tied up in a bun came over with a pot of hot tea, smiling.

Guangdan shook his sleeves and sat down at the table. He grinned and started ordering food generously.

"Give us a big bowl of mutton soup and two pancakes." After saying this, he looked at the food on the tables of other guests in the room with shining eyes.

"Would you like another bowl?" The middle-aged woman asked with amusement when she saw the child's calm look.

"I want what I want!"

After the proprietress left, Gouwei tugged at Guangdan's sleeve and whispered in his brother's ear, "You really came to eat mutton soup, what a waste! This will cost twenty cents, right?"

Guangdaner made a face and said, "It's just the price of a brush!"
