It's another matter if you don't expect him to do it on his own initiative. Look, this kid is so popular.

With the comparison, the three brothers Shen Jiabao were miserable. Old Mrs. Shen felt that the three brothers were lazy before.

"Look at Jiandong, and then look at you guys. It makes me angry. There is only so little firewood, and you haven't finished it even after ten days or half a month.

Jiandong is all alone, and it's only been a while, but he's almost finished splitting. They're both grown men, so why is there such a big gap? "

The three brothers were very upset. Gu Jiandong's speed in chopping wood was totally out of line with common sense.

How can they compare? Not at all.

After chopping the firewood, Shen Shuyu asked Gu Jiandong to rest on the recliner for a while, fearing that he would be tired.

"I'm not tired at all. I still want to work."

Shen Shuyu: This is the first time she heard that someone wanted to work.

It was the first time that Old Lady Shen and the others heard that these days, if it wasn't for the need to have something to eat, everyone would want to eat and sleep.

Seeing that Gu Jiandong seemed to be unhappy if he didn't work, Shen Shuyu pointed to the water bucket in the corner of the yard.

"Then let's go get some water. The water tank at home is almost empty."

It is too expensive to dig a well, so Old Man and Old Lady Shen were reluctant to spend money. The water used at home was obtained by the three uncles who took turns to go to the brigade headquarters to fetch water every day. The trip back and forth was quite tiring.

"Then go get some water." Gu Jiandong picked up the bucket, pulled Shen Shuyu and ran out.

The water tank at home had to be filled five times. Shen Shuyu accompanied him to run back and forth. When the water tank was full, Shen Shuyu was afraid that he would say he wanted to work, so she quickly called him to take a bath.

"Gu Jiandong, it's too late, go take a shower."

Zhang Cuicui had already filled a bottle of water for him, so he could just take the clothes and wash them.

Shen Shuyu wanted to go back to the room and lie down, but Gu Jiandong wouldn't let her. He would only let her take a shower if she had to sit outside the bathroom.

"I'll be waiting outside, go wash up." Sometimes it's not good for children to be too clingy.

Shen Shuyu was playing with a white radish outside the door, listening to the eldest and second aunts gossiping.

"I heard from Auntie Pang that her son is getting married, and he's an educated youth."

"Sent-down youth? Which educated youth? Are you the one from our team?"

"She's from our team, her name is Jiang Huahua. She's very rich. She asked for a 100 yuan dowry and a bicycle."

Li Caixia's eyes widened, "So much for the bride price? Can Auntie Pang agree to it?" This is not marrying a wife, this is marrying an ancestor.

In their countryside, the general betrothal gift is 10 to 20 yuan, and being able to afford a betrothal gift of 10 to 20 yuan is considered prestigious.

Many families can marry a girl by giving a bag of grain.

"Auntie Pang has no choice but to agree even if she doesn't want to. Her son and Jiang Zhiqing have been in the woods together. If she doesn't give him a betrothal gift, Jiang Zhiqing will sue Heping for being a hooligan.

These days, Auntie Pang has been scolding Jiang Zhiqing at home as a vixen, a lion with a big mouth.

It was useless for her to scold him. He had already sneaked into the woods. How serious was his crime? He might even get shot. How could she watch him get shot? She could only compromise.

Aunt Pang's family has been extremely worried about the betrothal gift these past few days."

Zhang Cuicui thought that a betrothal gift of one hundred yuan and a bicycle was too much to ask for. They were from the countryside and could not earn much money in a year. There were many children in the family and after deducting expenses, they could hardly save any money. Where could they get such a huge betrothal gift?

"Heping looks like a well-behaved kid, so why did he end up in the woods with the educated youth?"

"So what if he's honest? He's just a hot-blooded young man. Jiang Zhiqing can charm you with just a few glances, and you'll do whatever he tells you to do." Zhang Cuicui felt that the silly boy might have been tricked.

"Tsk, we have to warn our three boys to stay away from those female educated youth." A hundred yuan betrothal gift and a bicycle are too much for their family to bear.

Shen Shuyu listened attentively, crackling the melon seeds in her hand. Jiang Huahua? This name sounds familiar. In the original plot, this person couldn't stand the heavy farm work and felt that there was no hope of returning to the city. Later, she used some trickery to marry Fang Heping, the son of Aunt Fatty.
