A large bowl of mutton soup costs twelve cents, plus two pancakes, a total of eighteen cents, which is two cents less than the twenty cents in Guangdan's budget.

There was mutton in the mutton soup, but not much. However, the rich mutton soup was enough to block Guangdan'er's mouth, and he couldn't utter any complaints at all.

"If you don't eat, you'll always be hungry." At this time, the slightly angry voice of a young woman came from the table behind him.

"Master, the young master has never liked eating mutton." An old woman's voice sounded, and Guangdan turned his head curiously to look.

I saw a little boy about the same age as Goudan, sitting at the table with a puffed-up look on his fair face, staring at the bowl of mutton soup in front of him with his big watery eyes.

Oh, what a pity, if you don’t like it, just eat it!!

Guangdaner wanted to rush over and take the mutton soup on the table back to eat it himself.

Yes, he is such a person with no bottom line.

"Chen Jing, I'm not your mother, and I'm not coaxing you. You can eat it if you want!" The young lady glanced at the little baby, then picked up the big bowl in front of her and started eating with some generosity as if nothing had happened.

This look really doesn't match her delicate appearance at all.

Chen Jing?

This name seems familiar?

"Guangdan, let's go now that we've finished eating, so we don't have to go to grandpa's house too late." Gouwei wiped the mutton soup in the bowl with a pancake, then stood up and pulled Guangdan to leave.

When they got near the grocery store, Guangdan finally remembered Chen Jing. It was indeed a familiar name!

In the original book, when Lin Xingzhi passed the imperial examination and was studying at the provincial school, he had a good classmate named Chen Jing, whose family background was similar to Lin Xingzhi's.

The book tells the story of a boy whose parents both died and who was raised by his aunt.

But when I looked at that little kid just now, his clothes were not simple at all, they were all made of silk and high-quality shiny wool, he definitely didn't come from an ordinary family!

There were even grooms and servants accompanying them. Guangdan thought that if their family background was similar to that of Lin Xing's, then Chen Jing and the young woman must have met with an accident.

What's more, appearing at this time and place is obviously problematic.

I don’t know why, but Guangdan was sure that this Chen Jing was the Chen Jing in the book.

After briefly recalling the plot, Guangdaner directly pulled his brother to the grocery store.

Although this supporting actor appeared a little earlier than expected, he is also an important supporting actor in a serious side storyline. Why should he, a cannon fodder, care so much?

It's really a waste of time!

"What? What else are you buying?" Gouwei's face was full of horror.

How can a bald man spend money like this! ! He only spent 18 cents, what can he buy with this?

"Our grandpa, our uncle, and our cousins ​​all like a glass of wine. I'm going to buy some wine for a dime." As he said this, he entered the grocery store.

When Guangdaner saw the hand cream next to the grocery store, he pursed his lips and prepared to go back again on his way back.

After entering the shop, Gouwei didn't know what to say. He just prayed in his heart that the wine would not be too expensive.

A dime of wine weighs about four pounds, and the egg alone cost thirty-five cents. This is considered an ordinary wine, at least not the worst quality.

In addition, the grocery store provided a container for the wine, so another five cents was charged, which would be refunded when the wine container was returned.

After buying the wine, the two brothers continued on their way. Seeing his eldest brother frowning and saying nothing, Guangdan couldn't help but explain.

"It's not appropriate for us to come to grandpa's house empty-handed. Besides, we're here to look for hair for brushes. We're not sure how the brushes are selling. If they're really selling well, they'll need a lot of hair. When we ask someone to do something for us, we have to show some attitude, even if it's grandpa and uncle."

After hearing what Guangdan said, Gouwei quickly waved his hands and said, "No, I just feel I'm useless. I'm not even as good as you when you were eight years old."

As he spoke, he hung his head in annoyance, looking deflated.

"Oh, what are you thinking about? I still think I'm stupid and I'm not as good as Goudan in studying!

But it's not like that. Big brother, you are strong and dexterous, and you can do anything assigned to you. As for me, I have more small ideas and like to make money, and Goudan is good at reading. Each of us has different strengths, so we are a family.

If everyone is the same, wouldn’t it be repetitive?”

"Hehehehe, that's true. But I still think you and Goudan are the best."

Now, in the eyes of the eldest brother Gouwei, the second brother can make money and the third brother can study. They are both very smart and capable little kids.

It's me. Alas, Big Brother feels pleased but also feels inferior and stupid.

Noticing his brother's little mood, Guangdaner immediately began to change the subject.

"Brother, how are you going to spend those ten cents?" Guangdaner glanced at his brother's pocket and asked curiously.

"I'm saving it and not spending it." Gouwei covered his pocket with his hands, his face looking very serious.

Uh, is this a conversation stopper?

How should he respond?

"Gudan, I know you can make money now, but you have to keep this money in your own pocket to feel at ease. We all feel comfortable when we have money in our hands. We can't always think about spending money, okay?"

As Gouwei was talking, he began to feel worried. He had realized that although Guangdan was smart and could make money, he was not the type who could save money.

How can we spend as much as we earn?

The worried elder brother started talking about the art of saving money all the way.

Guangdan wanted to roar loudly to the sky and the earth!

Money is earned, not saved!!

But it’s useless, all these words echoed in the ears of the dog - wasteful!

Guangdan felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. When Lin Xiaoxi was still young, his grandparents had great disagreements about his education in this aspect.

My grandfather believes that money earned should be spent, and that one’s own happiness is the most important thing.

Her grandmother believed that young people who didn't save money didn't know how to live, so she often nagged her after she went to college.

"When you start working, remember to save money every month!"

"Even if you are married, you should save some money from your salary. We can have money in our pockets and not worry."

"..."

These memories suddenly came to him in this season when the mountains were covered with snow, and Guangdaner only felt a little sour in his nose.

After many years, someone is now telling me how to save money.

"Hey, if mother knew you were doing this, I don't think you would be able to save your legs." Gouwei made his final summary statement, revealing some sympathy in his eyes for his second brother.

I was still wondering in my heart whether I should tell my mother about what happened today.

As if he had noticed his elder brother's annoyance, Guangdan said directly: "You can tell mom directly that I'm going to grandpa's house to buy wine. I'll give you the money, and then we can eat mutton soup and pancakes together. Don't talk about these things. Brother, you and I are in the same boat now."

As he said this he grinned with a smug smile, and after thinking for a moment he added another sentence.

"When we go back, let's buy some wine, and we can drink together during the New Year."

After all, grandpa is a good guy and he hasn’t been angry for a long time. Why don’t you give him some sweet kisses?
