My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

The few of them had discussed it on the way, but Gu Huanhuan was timid and didn't tell her about it.

"Oh, brother, why are your pants torn! Your butt is exposed!" Gu Huanhuan heard some noise outside and ran out quickly. As soon as she came out, she saw Gu Erniu's embarrassed look.

Gu Erniu was so busy drinking water that he forgot to cover his back. When Gu Huanhuan reminded him, his face turned red like a monkey's butt, and he ran back into the house, covering his butt.

The three siblings couldn't help laughing when they saw Gu Erniu's expression.

Gu Lili and Gu Sigou's tense nerves relaxed a lot at this moment.

When Gu Lili walked into the room, Gu Erniu had already hidden under the quilt.

The torn pants had been taken off and placed on the edge of the bed. Gu Lili felt sad when she saw it.

The four siblings only have one set of clothes each, and if they get broken, they will have nothing to wear.

Immediately, he picked up the needle and thread to help Erniu mend his pants.

Not to mention how dirty Gu Erniu's pants were, there were already many patches of varying sizes on them.

Soon, Gu Lili mended Gu Erniu's pants.

After Gu Erniu changed his clothes, he took Gu Sigou to work outside.

Everyone tacitly stopped laughing at Gu Erniu.

Gu Lili looked at the wheat placed on the sieve that day, and saw that it had sprouted many small sprouts.

In about two days, you should be able to make malt sugar.

However, their pot is broken and cannot be used.

The most urgent thing is to go to Donghai Town and buy a pot.

Also, I have to hurry up and sew clothes for my younger brothers and sisters.

Donghai Town has an episode every five days. After some calculations, it will be tomorrow.

Gu Lili and Gu Huanhuan sewed clothes together. Gu Lili was responsible for cutting the fabric, and Huanhuan was responsible for sewing.

Because they were all simple styles, it took a whole day to sew the clothes of the other three people, except Gu Lili.

After dinner, Gu Lili gave the sewn clothes to the three siblings.

The three of them took it, but did not change it immediately. Instead, they boiled water and took a bath before putting on the new clothes.

"Sister, wow, this new dress is so comfortable!" Gu Sigou said happily as he touched the clothes on his body.

It was obviously the cheapest fabric, but Gu Sigou was already very satisfied.

Gu Erniu and Gu Huanhuan's eyes were also full of light. The four of them had only worn new clothes a few times since they were young.

Gu Lili smiled dotingly and said, "When I make money in the future, I'll let you wear silk and satin, okay?"

The three of them nodded heavily. As long as the family is together, what does it matter what they wear?

However, it seems not bad to have such a beautiful vision.

Before it got dark, Gu Lili taught the three children how to count and recognize money.

Gu Lili was drawing on the ground with branches while testing the three of them.

"Two cents for a fish. If I buy three fish, how much will it cost in total?" Gu Lili looked at the three people and said.

As soon as Gu Lili finished speaking, the three of them started counting on their fingers. She immediately decided that maybe she could try to teach them the multiplication formulas.

Otherwise, if we were to count larger numbers, we wouldn't have enough fingers to count them.

"I know, it's a total of six cents!" Gu Sigou calculated it quickly.

Gu Lili didn't answer Si Gou whether it was correct or not, she just smiled and looked at Huan Huan and Er Niu and said, "Did you two figure it out?"

After a while, Huan Huan replied, "I also calculated six cents."

Gu Erniu stammered, "Six... texts."

Gu Lili smiled and said, "You guys are really good this time, you got everything right! I learned a formula from my mother that can help me do arithmetic very quickly. Do you want to learn from me?"

When the three of them heard this, they nodded.

"Sister, I want to learn, I want to learn!"

"Sister, why did mother only teach you and not us?"

"Sister, is this my mother's secret formula? Can't we tell anyone else?"

"elder sister......"

The three of them were very happy to hear Gu Lili praising them, and they all started talking to each other.

Calling her "sister" again and again made Gu Lili's forehead throb.

When the three siblings had asked most of their questions, Gu Lili picked out a few questions to answer.

"My mother wants me to learn first and then teach you. Since you want to learn, you should learn with full spirit!"

The three of them looked at Gu Lili with anticipation. Gu Lili decided to teach them something simpler tonight.

Gu Lili smiled and said, "Two plus two equals four, which means two plus one equals four. This can be applied to buying things. For example, one fish costs two cents, so two fish would cost four cents, right? Similarly, two plus three equals six, so three fish would cost six cents. With this method of calculation, you don't need to count on your fingers. I'll recite it once and you can recite it again. Okay, if you don't understand something, you can ask me. Two plus four equals eight, two plus five equals ten..."

Gu Lili only taught up to number 298 tonight because she was afraid that if she taught too much, the brothers and sisters would not be able to remember it.

The three of them studied very hard, especially Gu Erniu. He felt that he was too stupid, so he just memorized things by rote.

It was getting dark, so the four of them packed up and went to bed.

"Twenty-six-twelve, twenty-seven..." Gu Erniu was still reciting the formula taught by Gu Lili in his sleep. Gu Lili listened, turned over with a smile, and continued to sleep.

As soon as the day began to dawn, Gu Lili's little thatched cottage became busy.

Gu Erniu and his companions changed back into their old clothes and carefully put away their new clothes.

After finishing her meal, Gu Lili picked up her backpack and walked towards the village entrance.

Every time there was a market, ox carts would be sent from Gu Village to Donghai Town, and one had to pay a penny.

When Gu Lili arrived, the ox cart was already waiting at the entrance of the village.

Before I got close, I saw a disgusting figure, Niu Cuihua.

Niu Cuihua also saw Gu Lili. Although Gu Lili was still wearing her old clothes and shoes, she looked completely different from before.

He was always timid before, but now his eyes are full of confidence and sharpness.

In addition, the food has improved recently, and her face is also rosy.

Niu Cuihua spat, "Bah, you little bastard, you actually took my son's salary to go to the market, you are such a bastard!"

There were a few people sitting nearby, and they couldn't help but look down on Niu Cuihua when they heard her say that.

Chuncao Niang asked with a smile, "Shuwen Niang, are the adobe bricks ready? You still have time to go to the market?"

Niu Cuihua was used to being arrogant because she had a son who was well-educated, so she immediately jumped up and down.

"Mother Chuncao, if you have the time to meddle in other people's affairs, you might as well pray to the Buddha to bless you to give birth to a son next time!"
