Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Dabao and Erbao asked for leave and didn't have to go to school. Lin Shu and Gu Jiu both had work to do, so they were the only two left at home besides the nanny, Sister Chen.

Lin Shu was worried, so he packed up the siblings and sent them to the Gu family's old house, asking them to stay with their retired grandparents at home.

Gu Jiu knew what was happening in the school, and donated a batch of lice medicine and a sum of money to the school in the name of the battery factory.

Lice medicine was distributed to students on Saturdays so they could take it home and use the weekend to treat their head lice.

The donated money is a special fund.

Funds are used for specific purposes.

The school built several wash rooms next to the cafeteria to facilitate the connection of hot water pipes.

After the washroom was built, it not only provided convenience to the teachers and students of the school, but also to their families living in the school.

Schools can organize students to take a bath or take a shave twice a week. In fact, lice are caused by lack of personal hygiene.

If you take a bath and wash your hair frequently, lice will naturally have no living space, and gradually the source of infection will disappear, and students will naturally have no lice on their heads.

Of course, Gu Jiu took into consideration that lower grade students were unable to take care of themselves, so he suggested to Grandpa Gu that the street should regularly organize volunteers to go to schools, nursing homes and orphanages to volunteer.

Although Mr. Gu has retired, he still has the energy to organize people to do volunteer work.

Gu Jiu put a lot of effort into providing his two children with a good learning environment.

Contribute money and effort.

After staying in the old house for a few days and going to school on Monday, Dabao and Erbao were surprised to find that many boys in their class had the same buzz cut, especially the girls. The girls who used to have braids no longer had them, and the shortest ones had their hair cut in a boys' 3:7 split, while the longer ones had their hair cut in a student style.

"Student hair" is what is called in the provincial capital, which means short hair that reaches the ears.

Cut the hair aligned with the earlobes.

In the past, many female students liked to cut their hair like this, and gradually many old ladies also liked this neat hairstyle.

"Gu Chen and Gu Qi, why didn't you cut your hair short?"

As soon as Wang Yu entered the classroom, he put his schoolbag under the desk and came to Dabao and the others.

Dabao looked up at his buzz cut and pushed his head away: "I'm not like you. I don't have lice, so why cut my hair? Move away, don't let the lice on your head jump onto mine. When you come closer, I smell a bad odor."

Wang Yu's expression froze, and she blushed as she defended herself, "I don't have lice on my head. Everyone else cut their hair, but I had no choice but to do it to complete the assignment assigned by the teacher. If I had known you wouldn't cut it, I would have done the same."

As he spoke, Wang Yu lowered his head and smelled the odor on his body. "How can there be any smell on my body? If you insist on saying there is one, then it must be the smell of sulfur. My mother has been using sulfur soap to bathe me these days."

When Erbao heard this, he asked curiously, "Xiaoyu, why does your mother use sulfur soap to help you bathe? The soap we use at home smells very good. My mother said it smells like jasmine."

"If you don't believe me, just smell it. I smell the best."

Erbao raised his arm, and Wang Yu really wanted to get closer to smell the scent on Erbao, but before he could take any action, he was ruthlessly pushed away by Dabao.

"Stay away from my sister. There are differences between men and women. How can a boy like you really smell her scent? Aren't you ashamed?"

Wang Yu: “?”

What is he ashamed of?

However, Wang Yu is a simple-minded child.

He came close to Erbao again and asked with a smile, "Gu Qi, I saw a bird's nest on a tree in the woods behind the teaching building yesterday. There might be bird eggs in it. Can we go and dig out the nest after we finish lunch?"

Erbao became interested when he heard it, "Really? Then remember to call me before you go. I have never eaten bird eggs before."

"Okay, I'll definitely call you. I tell you, bird eggs are tastier than chicken eggs. One bite at a time, the taste is incredible."

"From what you said, you must have eaten a lot?"

Wang Yu raised his eyebrows proudly: "Of course, although I am not tall, my tree climbing skills are unmatched. I will teach you next time I have the chance."

"Which one tastes better, bird eggs or quail eggs?"

I have made quail eggs at home, and my second child has eaten quail eggs. She thinks bird eggs and quail eggs are about the same size and should taste similar.

"Quail eggs?"

Wang Yu was dumbfounded, "...I have never eaten it."

Erbao looked at him with pity: "You have never even eaten quail eggs, you are so pitiful."

Wang Yu: “…”

-

"Erbao, I just wore this skirt today. How come it's torn after just one day of school? How did you do it?"

When I got home from school in the afternoon, I saw that dinner would not be ready for a while, so I let the two children take a bath first.

As a result, the new skirt that Erbao wore today was torn with a hole.

When Erbao saw the big hole in the skirt, he acted like a child who had made a mistake and didn't dare to say a word.

Lin Shu turned to look at Dabao, who had just come down from upstairs after taking a shower and changing his clothes.

Dabao glanced at the torn skirt and snorted: "Your good daughter went to climb trees with the bad boy at noon. How do you think the skirt got torn?"

When Lin Shu heard this, she was so angry that she almost fumed. She couldn't help but raise her voice: "Erbao, you climbed a tree in a skirt? You are a girl, what do I usually teach you?"

Erbao shrank his neck in fear, and carefully observed Lin Shu's expression: "Mom, don't be angry, I'm very good at climbing trees, even Wang Yu is no match for me, you don't have to worry about me getting into danger."

"You are so powerful, why don't you go to heaven?" Lin Shu sat on the sofa and threw the torn skirt aside: "Since you are disobedient, there will be a punishment. Your new clothes this fall will be confiscated, and I will not buy you beautiful skirts anymore."

How is that possible?

Erbao got anxious when he heard that there were no new clothes. He came to Lin Shu, grabbed her arm and acted coquettishly: "No, my dear mother~ my most beautiful mother~"

"Don't act like a spoiled child. That won't work in front of me!" Lin Shu pulled his arm out mercilessly.

When Gu Jiu returned home, he saw his daughter sitting pitifully on the sofa as soon as he entered the door. She looked like a young seedling that had lost the rain, dew and sunshine, and was wilted.

He put down his briefcase and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash his hands. He asked curiously, "What happened? Who bullied my little baby?"

Erbao glanced at Lin Shu cautiously, lowered his head and remained silent.

Gu Jiu looked at Lin Shu in confusion.

Seeing that Erbao was so young and knew how to play tricks, Lin Shu suppressed her smile and rolled her eyes at Gu Jiu in annoyance: "Don't look at me like that, I didn't bully your daughter."

Gu Jiu turned to Dabao with a questioning look.

Dabao had no psychological burden at all and told the whole story.

After understanding what happened, the smile on Gu Jiu's face disappeared. He walked over and sat next to Erbao. "Girl, you climbed a tree today. What were your classmates doing?"

Erbao didn't understand: "He was cheering me up under the tree."

Gu Jiu's face darkened, he stood up and went to wash his hands: "I think your mother's punishment is too light."
