At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

Gu Sanmu gave a bitter smile: "Sihe, this idiot, is really too stupid to let big brother teach him."

Lin Yuanxin turned around and looked at the crying Sihe, his voice so soft that it was barely audible.

"Still too young."

She never dared to say it, but she had a hunch from the first time they met that the eldest brother was the most difficult to mess with among the brothers.

Although Er Miao Ge was harsh in his words, he was warm-hearted and gave me the first gift I had when I entered the house.

Sanmu is a kind and honest man who always does everything to the best of his ability.

Brother Damao is different.

She never dared to talk to him much, not because he was fierce or rude, but because of his calm but aura that made people dare not disobey.

Lin Yuanxin looked at Sihe, who was sobbing while answering questions under the light and was being scolded by Brother Damao from time to time. For a moment, he didn't know whether to admire him or pity him.

The next morning, Gu Sihe had swollen walnut eyes but an unusually bright smile. He didn't wave goodbye until he sent the few people to the station.

Although his words were heartwarming, the smile on his face betrayed him.

"Mom, you don't have to rush back, especially big brother! Big brother, you don't know, there are so many fun things in town, you must go around them all!"

Gu Ermiao knew exactly what he was up to, and laughed so hard he fell backwards, deliberately teasing him, "Brother, I think Sihe really can't bear to leave you, otherwise you shouldn't go!"

Seeing Gu Sihe's face froze instantly, Gu Ermiao was overjoyed.

"He was afraid that I would turn back halfway, so he saw me off for ten miles."

Gu Damao glanced at Gu Sihe and said, "If you haven't finished one page when I check you today, I'll increase it to three pages tomorrow."

After a pause, he added, "Forget about candied haws."

This sentence was a real blow to Gu Sihe. He burst into tears and turned around and ran back home as if he was afraid of wasting time.

Lin Yuanxin hurriedly followed, and did not forget to ask Lin Qing to give the handkerchief she embroidered to Gu Changqing.

After Lin Qing agreed, he looked at his strict teacher Gu Damao with some helplessness.

"Are you being too strict with Shihe? If you're like this from the beginning, be careful he might become tired of studying."

Gu Damao listened to his mother's teachings with his hands down, but he had no intention of admitting his mistakes.

"Mother, Shihe's foundation is too weak. Only by combining leniency and strictness can we make rapid progress."

These words inexplicably reminded Lin Qing of the high school math teacher whom he feared the most.

He advocated a balance between leniency and severity.

A set of extremely difficult test questions is mixed with a set of simple test questions at the elementary school level, which is euphemistically called a relaxation and tightening exercise to give the brain a massage.

The students were working like crazy, but they could only swallow their anger as they watched their grades climb.

"Ah, yes, yes, Damao is right..."

Gu Ermiao tugged at his elder brother's sleeve and was about to persuade him when he suddenly heard a voice behind him that sounded either sarcastic or envious.

"Mrs. Gu, are you going to town again? Why are you bringing Damao with you this time? You've made a lot of money selling buns, so you want to spend it to send him to Songyang Academy?"

Gu Ermiao rolled his eyes.

How come this weird Xiangzhi is everywhere!

There were already several men in the car at this time. When they heard her say this, they all started whispering to each other.

Lin Qing knew that men were just as gossipy as women, and sometimes even more so.

The best way to avoid becoming the center of conversation is to...

Disaster is diverted to the east.

After Lin Qing was helped to sit down by Gu Ermiao, he reached into the basket and took out a small bag of sour jujube cakes.

Under Gu Ermiao's surprised gaze, he actually handed it directly to Xiangzhi.

"Xiangzhi, haven't you always wanted to know what our family does for a living? Besides buns, this is the most profitable. This bag weighs about two taels and can be sold for twenty wen."

Gu Ermiao cried out in disbelief, "Mom!"

But he saw his mother blinking at him quickly, and Gu Ermiao suddenly had an idea.

Mom did it on purpose!

Gu Ermiao, who understood what his mother meant, quickly took over the conversation.

"She has repeatedly sowed discerning minds between our family and the villagers. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she has no good intentions!

"Mom, you should have ignored her, why did you give her something instead! Who knows what this evil person is up to!"

Xiangzhi didn't hear Gu Ermiao's teasing, and there were only three words left in her mind.

She also said it.

"Twenty cents!"

Xiangzhi never expected that the things in this shabby little bag would be so valuable!

After she exclaimed, she realized that everyone in the car was looking at her strangely. She suddenly realized that her reaction was too exaggerated, as if she had never seen the world and was a country bumpkin like them.

Xiangzhi cleared her throat and pretended to return the thing to Lin Qing, but her hands were clenched a little tightly.

"No, Mrs. Gu, I wouldn't dare accept such a valuable item even if you generously gave it to me! After all, no one else in this car has it!"

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this.

Yes, such a valuable thing, why does she have it but I don’t!

Some people couldn't help but stretch their necks to look over, and took a few deep breaths. They seemed to smell a strange but sweet smell on the tip of their noses, and became more and more curious about what was wrapped in the brown paper and why it smelled so good!

Just when I was thinking about how to start, I saw Lin Qing smiling and pushing something to Xiangzhi.

"Since I've given it to you, there's absolutely no reason to take it back."

What Xiangzhi didn't notice was that there was a cunning glint in Lin Qing's eyes.

Haha, thank you for being so tactful and just rolling down the slope on your own.

Do you know that no one in the car is there?

Xiangzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and naturally put the things back, but she didn't expect that Lin Qing's next words were like putting her on the fire.

"Everyone, I'm so sorry, but this is all I got. I have to sell it to make new clothes for my two children. I can't let you taste it."

Everyone saw that although the brothers' clothes were neat, they were indeed very old.

Lin Qing's clothes were really ordinary, nothing like Xiangzhi who was dressed up beside her.

It was naturally not possible to force Lin Qing anymore, and they all looked disappointed.

Xiangzhi immediately became alert and stuffed her small bag into the basket, which attracted attention.

Yes, she still has it in her hand!

Everyone looked at Xiangzhi.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family wanted to make money but they were too embarrassed to ask for her help. But Xiangzhi got it for free!

She is so rich, she definitely can afford these twenty cents!

Xiangzhi originally wanted to take it to the candied fruit shop to ask what it was and whether it could really be sold at the high price that Lin Qing mentioned.

If it could really be sold for twenty cents, she would try every possible means to find out how to do it!

She wants to make money, and she wants to be upright so that everyone can respect her!

She was malicious and wanted to get everyone to join forces to make trouble for Lin Qing, but she didn't expect to shoot herself in the foot.

Lin Qing actually gave it to him on purpose!

She had bad intentions from the beginning!

Lin Qing met her vicious gaze frankly, indicating that he was not lying, and even took the initiative to lift the cloth covering the basket to show everyone that there were indeed only two small packages left inside.

But in fact, she had already put the sour jujube cake and rose jam into the storage space in advance, so it fit perfectly.

Only then did Gu Ermiao realize what his mother meant and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Since his mother had said so, he might as well add fuel to the fire.
