She originally wanted to say, let's get married together. This will make it difficult for your parents and will also cause dissatisfaction among the Zhao family.

"It's like this, Leilei, you don't know how outrageous our mother is. She added 200 yuan to the betrothal gift to the Gu family.

"I went to the county yesterday, originally planning to buy clothes and accessories for the two of us, but I happened to run into people talking about the Gu family, and the news of our family increasing the betrothal gift was all the rage.

"I never knew the Gu family was so poor. It seemed like they didn't even have a single decent piece of furniture at home.

“Although Gu Errong seems to work at the Water Conservancy Bureau, I heard that he doesn’t even have a staff position and he was probably fired in August this year.

"Well, I bought the furniture to make my parents proud, so I bought it on credit."

Guan Lei's heart tightened, fearing that her sister would say that she didn't want to remarry.

She quickly said, "Sister, I understand you. Mom has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don't worry, I'll go and tell her. The Gu family is actually quite good. I heard that Gu Errong looks quite energetic."

"I'm fine, Leilei." Guan Youshuang patted her sister's hand, "I have strength. I can take care of his parents after I get married. As long as you live well, I'll be happy."

"Thank you, sister."

"The clothes and accessories I bought for us should arrive tomorrow. We have too many things today to carry, and the store owner is coming to our town tomorrow to do some promotion, so he will bring them down for us."

"Sister, you also bought me clothes." Guan Lei felt ashamed when she thought about her shopping spree today.

"Well, we are sisters and have similar body shapes, so I bought you an extra set. Don't think too much about it. I am your sister, so it is my duty to give you a wedding present."

Guan Ruijie has been howling for a long time and it seems like he has no tears left.

He waited and waited, but no one came out. He felt anxious and scared.

Zhang Caihe was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth on the ground, occasionally lifting the door curtain to secretly glance at her son.

She had no idea what her eldest daughter was up to, and she wanted to go out and pull her baby son up several times.

But when I thought about the hundred dollars, I held back.

Leilei likes listening to music, so she wants to give Leilei a tape recorder as a dowry.

She went to the store to ask and found out that the latest model of tape recorder cost more than 70 yuan.

She simply pulled 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 listen 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 ghost howling.

Guan Youshuang walked over, squatted beside him, and asked, "I heard that there are gods of the land under the yard. I also heard that the gods of the land have bad tempers. If anyone disturbs his sleep, he will catch that person and throw him underground."

When Guan Ruijie heard this, he jumped up in fright and looked at the ground repeatedly, fearing that the land god would come to catch him.

"Don't worry, you're up now, the land god won't come to catch you, but there must not be a next time." Guan Youshuang patted the dirt off her brother's body and said, "Our Xiaojie is a man, a man sheds blood but not tears, don't you agree?"

Guan Ruijie nodded with sobs.

"Sister knows you want a pistol, but mom and dad are not obligated to meet all your requests. We have to learn to exchange our own values ​​for what we want, understand?"

"What is your own value?"

"Yes, we can communicate with our parents in advance about our own value, such as our labor, grades, etc. For example, if we get 90 points on the test, we hope to get a pistol. Then, you can use your transcript to exchange for what you want. Do you understand?"

"But, but I've never scored above 90 points in an exam," Guan Ruijie said dejectedly.

"I'm just giving you an example. How about this? I promise you now. If you organize the firewood in the backyard tonight, I'll buy you a pistol. How about that?"

Guan Ruijie's eyes lit up and he kept asking his elder sister if it was true.

"Of course it's real. Get ready and we'll go buy the pistols right away. If the store is closed, we can buy them tomorrow. In any case, you can pick the one you want most."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Guan Ruijie wiped away his tears and ran to the backyard, "I will definitely fix it."

"Okay, I believe you."

Guan Lei, who had been standing on the steps watching this scene, was very surprised.

In her previous life, the elder sister had never treated her younger brother like this. She had always been like a mother, listening to her younger brother and responding to his requests. Even when her younger brother threw a tantrum, she would beg him and coax him in every way possible.

She actually wanted to teach her brother, but he simply didn't listen to her. Over time, he became a lazy, second-rate person.

Zhang Caihe and Guan Xingguo were also surprised.

Zhang Caihe plugged her ears, but her son's loud voice, saying that he wanted to go and organize the firewood in the backyard, still reached her ears.

She quickly pulled the cotton out of her ears and asked Guan Xingguo, "Was it Xiaojie who was talking just now, saying that he was going to organize the firewood in the backyard?"

"Yes, Youshuang is trying to reason with him, and it seems like she's making sense." Guan Xingguo took a puff of his pipe, "I feel like Youshuang is suddenly different than before."

Zhang Caihe sneered and said, "Of course it's different. He suddenly got possessed by a demon and started to talk nonsense. He doesn't even take me, his mother, seriously."

"The baby has grown up, so please scold him less in the future."

Zhang Caihe glared at him and walked out of the room.

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 on her face, but when she saw her son carrying such a huge pile of firewood, she felt like a knife was stabbed in her heart and she instantly stopped smiling.

Looking at the 15-watt light bulb, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the electricity bill, so he said, "Youshuang, it's getting dark now, you should all go to bed and we can sort it out tomorrow."

She actually wanted to tell her brother to go to bed quickly, but after thinking for a while, she forced herself to say "you guys".

"Mom, I'm not sleepy yet. This is a matter between my elder sister and me. Please go into the house." Guan Ruijie shouted before Guan Youshuang could speak.

"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 prepare the firewood."

Guan Youshuang took out the 100 yuan and said, "Mom, Xiaojie is a man. He will definitely do what he promised. Don't say anything more. Here is the money. Go back to your room."

"Yes, Mom, I think my sister is very good at educating people, so you can rest assured and leave your brother to her." Guan Lei also came over and joined in the conversation.

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 went back to the main house.

"I'll go help my brother too." Guan Lei said, winking at Guan Youshuang and whispering, "Sister, go to the room and rest for a while. I'll help you supervise him."
