At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system
Chapter 74 An unexpected gift
When Lin Yuanxin heard that he could make money by washing dishes, he couldn't help but open his almond-shaped eyes wide.
Especially when Aunt Lin really stuffed the copper coins into her hand, she wanted to refuse, but Gu Sihe held her hand and whispered to her:
"Xiao Xin, just take what Mom gives you! A penny may not be much, but once you save enough, you can buy whatever you want!"
Lin Yuanxin suddenly had an idea and thought of the wooden hairpin that Gu Ermiao gave him.
Yes, she can keep the money to buy a gift for her aunt!
She had to ask her brothers and sisters what their aunt liked while washing dishes!
The children, who had received financial incentives, cleaned up the eight-immortals table and arranged the stools neatly in the blink of an eye, and the room instantly became much more spacious.
Gu Damao and Gu Changqing knew that their mother/aunt had not assigned them any work, and that she must be discussing important matters. They expectedly led her to the study, but before they could ask anything, Lin Qing got straight to the point.
"Actually, I didn't finish what I said at the dinner table just now."
She carefully told the two children what she had seen and heard today. The two brothers looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Gu Changqing felt more ashamed.
Damao didn't go to town often, but he had been there for a long time. Why hadn't he noticed the beggars at the city gate and the tricks behind the porridge distribution?
It's a shame that he still reads the books of sages and boasts that he comes from an ordinary family and understands the suffering of ordinary people and the difficulties of ordinary people's lives...
My aunt only went there once and discovered so many problems. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was slapped in the face.
Gu Damao was also quite shocked.
After his mother's teachings, he didn't feel that there was any difference between daughters and sons, but when he heard that some people in the town had abandoned their sons and left them to become beggars, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems those families knew they had no way out, and that keeping their children would mean they would die together, so they had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. After all, according to common sense, who would be willing to abandon their family roots unless they were completely destitute?"
Lin Qing knew that he was telling the truth, but did not agree or disagree.
Firstly, I was too tired today and didn't want to waste any more words. Secondly, I could see that Gu Damao was just talking about the facts and had no intention of discrimination.
After a moment's silence, Lin Qing continued, "I'm not telling you this to fill you with righteous indignation or indignation. I just want you to know that if you want to pursue a career in politics, you must open your eyes, observe more, think more, and see the essence of things through superficial phenomena."
"But there are so many injustices in the world, and personal abilities are limited, so we can use tools, and writing is the best weapon in your hands. So what I want to tell you is that no matter what you do, don't just superficially focus on the surface. Be down-to-earth, take each step carefully, and slowly expand your wings. Only in this way can you influence more people."
The two children nodded deeply, reflecting deeply on themselves, and then said in unison:
"After listening to you, we have also come up with a new method for simulating policy papers. We would like to continue revising it and ask you to review it tomorrow."
"Okay," Lin Qing said with a very satisfied smile, "Now let's get back to the topic."
After saying that, she pushed a small maroon piece of wood towards the two children. Gu Changqing couldn't help but exclaimed after just one glance.
"Isn't this a card from Yu's Bookstore? How did Auntie get it?"
Lin Qing then slapped his head and wondered why he forgot to give them the book first!
She got up and went back to her room to bring the book over. When the two children saw what she was holding, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Lin Qing untied the silk and gave the books to the two children.
Gu Damao was so excited that his whole body was shaking, and he didn't even dare to reach out to take it.
So many books must be very expensive, right?
Suddenly he realized something, took a breath, and asked cautiously: "Mom, did you pick up money today, or..."
He didn't dare to ask the rest of the question, but the meaning was very clear -
Where did mom get so much money? Could it be that she got it from illegal sources?
Lin was furious when he heard his son's suspicions. He asked, "Why, in your opinion, do you think I'd be so careless as to spend ill-gotten gains?"
Gu Damao waved his hands and said, "No, it's not!"
Lin Qing was amused by his nervous look and said, "Don't worry, just continue. Mom's money was obtained legally and legally!"
Gu Damao pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, his face full of joy, and said in disbelief: "Could it be that the sour jujube cakes sold for a lot of money?"
Lin Qing puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Of course, otherwise where do you think the meat tonight will come from?"
She said this with confidence, but she was secretly worried.
Fortunately, I went shopping separately from my two children today!
Otherwise the couple will be exposed!
Gu Changqing listened to the conversation between the mother and son blankly, but what he was thinking in his heart was that he had also been to the Yu's Bookstore. The owner, Yu Fuyan, was a very unique person and never looked down on anyone. It was extremely difficult to get a post. He had to go there at least seven or eight times.
After the students had private discussions, they discovered that there were only three or four people in the entire academy who enjoyed his good graces, and even the dean had to say nice things to him if he wanted a new book.
If his wasn't the only bookstore in town and students had nowhere else to go to buy books, his business would have gone bankrupt long ago.
But how could my aunt be so powerful that she could make the boss give away the wood chips just by meeting him once?
It wasn't until Lin Qing stuffed the book into his hands that Gu Changqing suddenly came to his senses.
"Uncle, aunt, I can't do that. This is too precious. Changqing feels unworthy of it..."
Lin Qing almost pressed herself into his arms.
"Take it and consider it an advance payment for the policy paper and a thank you gift for copying the book for Damao! Besides, you used to help Damao a lot, and you never forgot to give him the books when you had them. We all remember that."
These words made Gu Changqing blush, and he couldn't help feeling ashamed of his previous little thoughts.
The papers and books he originally gave to Damao were all old and unremarkable items. How could they be worthy of such a valuable gift from his aunt and Damao!
He was especially shocked when he saw that his aunt was so generous as to give him half of the few Ningguang papers she had.
This is expensive paper that even the headmaster is reluctant to use!
How could my aunt give it to me so casually!
Could she not be aware of its value?
After explaining it in detail and refusing it several times, Gu Changqing accepted his aunt's gift with a guilty look on his face, and kept reminding himself in his heart:
Gu Changqing, Gu Changqing, no matter what achievements you make in the future, please never forget the kindness your aunt and Brother Damao have shown you today!
This is not just icing on the cake, it is even less than a timely help!
If you forget the friendship we have today, you will be worse than pigs and dogs!
[Ding, Gu Changqing's character favorability increased by 9. Please keep up the good work.]
Lin Ting heard the prompt tone, looked up at Gu Changqing with tears in his eyes, and thought to himself that this child's return was really direct.
After the two children calmed down, Lin Qing recounted their experience at Yu's Bookstore. The two children's eyes widened even more than before.
