After saying this, he turned and went into the silver shop.
If people who work hard get the same salary as those who just play around, who will work hard tomorrow? Boss Liang feels that he has nothing to be ashamed of.
Gu Qianjing and Lu Yi looked at each other and pouted, “Let’s go, we have to pick up the kids from school.”
The two of them walked around Deng Li, who was about to explode with anger, and headed towards the school.
Deng Li turned to look at Li Yunhua. They were close in private, so Li Yunhua would not just stand by and watch her die, right?
Unexpectedly, Li Yunhua walked away indifferently, as if she hadn’t seen her. She didn’t want to appear too close to Deng Li, and 100 yuan was too little money and there was no room for charity.
Liu Zhizi, who only got 50 yuan, had no objection and still had that expressionless look on her face.
Deng Li stomped her feet in anger and was about to swear, but suddenly realized that she was still recording the show, so she swallowed the curse back.
[Deng Li, don’t worry about the 30 yuan, you are already famous all over the Internet. 】
[Oh my god, she still doesn’t know what happened at school, and her agent hasn’t informed Deng Li? ]
[It is impossible to contact the artist during the recording period. I guess we will know after the recording is over in the evening. ]
[Say goodbye to Deng Li in advance, see you tomorrow. ]
[I am curious about how Deng Li will whitewash this matter. Will she just say that it was just nonsense from a child? ]
In the big iron gate of Ankang Town Primary School, several children had already put on their small schoolbags and were lying on the railings looking out. The five little ones were hanging neatly on the iron railings. The scene was a bit sad for a while, and it was just a song of tears behind the iron bars.
Xiao Shu had sharp eyes and was the first to notice Gu Qianjing and Lu Yi coming from the street corner. He quickly glanced at Xiao Ju, and the moment their eyes met, Xiao Ju immediately understood what her brother meant and shouted at the top of her voice,
”Teacher! Xiao! Guo! Let us out! Mom is here!”
Teacher Guo, who was hearing the devilish voice, rushed out of the guard room, opened the iron gate, and let Xiao Shu and Xiao Ju out.
Xiu Ziheng leaned on the railing, his envy was beyond words, and he did not forget to remind, “Brother Xiaoshu, eat something good when you go out.”
Xiao Ju turned her head proudly and said, “Don’t worry about what he eats. Just reform yourself in there!”
There was a lot of laughter in the live broadcast room.
[Xiao Ju and Xiuziheng start fighting as soon as they meet. ]
[And Xiu Ziheng always loses to Xiao Ju, hahahaha…]
[ These two little ones love and hate each other.]
After letting the children out, Teacher Guo handed a lunch box to Gu Qianjing and Lu Yi respectively, “Moms, starting tomorrow, you have to bring lunch to the children yourself. The school has a microwave, and I will heat up the food for the children.”
The mothers had no objections. These rules were announced by the production team before. Today, because the mothers had not received their wages yet, the production team generously provided them with lunch.
How troublesome is it to cook for yourself?
Gu Qianjing and Lu Yi decided to pool their money and eat out. Two adults and two children could still survive in the ancient town on 200 yuan a day.
Ankang Ancient Town is a tourist town. If you want to eat delicious and affordable food, you have to avoid the scenic area. Under the guidance of life expert Gu Qianjing, we found a local food street next to the vegetable market.
The street is very narrow, only wide enough for two adults to pass side by side. The hundreds of years old bluestone road has long been worn smooth and round. A warm yellow street lamp hangs on the corner, adding a bit of worldly flavor to the old street.
The houses on both sides are very short, the tallest is only two stories high. The facades of the houses have become mottled due to the erosion of wind and rain. Waves of tempting food aroma waft from the quaint shops.
It was the first time that Xiao Shu saw such a street. He stared with her big watery eyes, curiously looking at this scene that was exactly the same as the magical world.
There was a shop selling stir-fried dishes not far ahead. The tables in the shop were set up on the cobblestone road, and there were many people queuing up for a seat. Gu Qianjing’s intuition told her that the food in this shop must be delicious.
Gu Qianjing looked forward and sighed with some regret, “There are too many people. I don’t know how long I will have to wait in line.”
Xiao Ju waved her hand and said, “Let’s book the place!”
The memory of booking the entire amusement park last time has been deeply engraved in the children’s minds.
Gu Qianjing looked for a good restaurant with hope, and answered Xiao Ju’s question, “When we were in the amusement park, we had 1 million yuan, but now we only have 200 yuan, so forget about renting the whole park.”
Xiao Ju frowned. It was obvious that 200 was more than 100, so why was it not possible?
”Well… 1 million is more than 200… never mind. It’s just a lot more anyway, so we can’t book the whole place.” Gu Qianjing waved her hand and gave up explaining. Mathematics is something that you just can’t do, even if you’ve traveled through time and space into a book.
Xiao Shu sighed softly, looked at his stupid mother helplessly, took out his writing board, and scribbled for a while. Finally, he made Xiao Ju understand that 1 million is 999,800 yuan more than 200 yuan, and successfully made Xiao Ju give up the fantasy of renting the whole place.
”Xiao Shu can do such a complicated math problem?” Lu Yi raised her voice in surprise. Xiao Shu just turned 6 years old this year and has never been to school before. In Lu Yi’s opinion, this problem is completely beyond the syllabus.
Gu Qianjing waved her hand calmly.
”He’s smarter than me. You know the building blocks with mortise and tenon joints, right? That ancient craft was so impressive, but I don’t even know it. This kid can do it so easily. He’s not as smart as me.”
Xiao Shu lowered his head and wrote on the writing board, “Smart like dad!”
Gu Qianjing saw the content on the writing board and puffed her lips in pretending to be angry, “Are you saying that mom is stupid? Then mom is sad!”
Xiao Shu stared at his mother lovingly with his big, sparkling eyes, wiped the words on the writing board, and wrote again, “Mom is pretty!”
The childish Gu Qianjing was satisfied, and half squatted down with a smile, “Mom needs a kiss before she will reluctantly accept your apology.”
Xiao Shu looked at Lu Yi and Xiao Ju with a red face, and pecked Gu Qianjing on the face reluctantly and quickly.
Then he pointed awkwardly at the stir-fry restaurant with a long line and wrote on the blackboard, “Eat what mom wants to eat! Xiaoshu is watching you!” in an attempt to divert everyone’s attention with food.
”But there are so many people here! I hate queuing!” Xiao Ju tilted his head and protested.
Writing board, “Xiao Ju, don’t you want to be with your brother? Ziheng will snatch Xiaoshu away when you go back!”
A picture suddenly appeared in Xiao Ju’s mind: Xiu Ziheng grinned and said, “Xiao Shu is mine. We played ocean balls together!”
”Okay! Let’s queue up!” Xiao Ju immediately changed her mind. As long as she was with brother Xiao Shu, she would queue up with a smile!
After taking care of Xiao Ju, Xiaoshu raised his big watery eyes, his thick eyelashes fluttering, and looked at Lu Yi obediently.
Lu Yi’s heart was about to melt. Who could refuse the request of this little darling?
There was a burst of wailing in the live broadcast room.
[Let’s form a group to steal Xiao Shu, is there anyone? 】
【+1】
【+1】
【+1】
Gu Qianjing’s intuition was very accurate; the food at this small stir-fry restaurant was indeed delicious.
The pork liver was fried smooth and tender, and melted in the mouth. The chicken soup with Gastrodia elata was fresh and fragrant. After drinking a bowl, your mouth is full of freshness and fragrance. The key is that the price is very affordable. Four people ate well and it only cost 98 yuan.
After dinner, Gu Qianjing and Lu Yi took the two children for a walk along the commercial street of the ancient town.
As the weather cooled in the evening, street vendors began to appear on both sides of the commercial street. Although Gu Qianjing and Lu Yi were dressed brightly, they actually only had enough money for tomorrow’s living expenses in their pockets, so they could only look but not buy.
Walking to a portrait painting stall, the two children stopped curiously to watch the painter paint.
Those colorful colors fell into Xiao Shu’s dark eyes, dyeing his pupils into colorful colors.
Gu Qianjing thought of Xiao Shu’s fate in the book. He would study painting and be hailed as a talented painter. The media commented on him, “Although he cannot speak, his paintings are poems that speak.”
Gu Qianjing would definitely be pleased if he could become the talented painter, but can he really never speak again?
Thinking of this, she felt melancholy.
The painter looked up and his eyes fell on Gu Qianjing and Xiao Shu, with a look of surprise in his eyes. The mother had long black hair and fair skin, and the child was delicate and handsome, like a little gentleman. The picture was very shocking.
He couldn’t help but invite, “Madam, want a picture with the little one!”
Gu Qianjing shook her head and refused. She took Xiaoshu’s hand and was about to leave when the painter said, “It’s free. Just a picture!”
”No, thank you!” Gu Qianjing politely declined.
”I’ll pay you, let me paint?”
Gu Qianjing stopped, turned around, and her eyes fell on the abstract painting in front of the wandering painter that looked neither supernatural nor spooky.
She pursed her lips and shook her head, “Really, no need. I’m afraid you’ll make me look ugly.”
The unruly yet confident painter with dreadlocks, “…” I didn’t mess with you!
【Hahahahaha…it has to be my sister Qian! 】
[To be honest, I really think that painter’s paintings are ugly, but if I say it directly, I’m afraid you will call me a country bumpkin who doesn’t understand art, so I have been holding back and not daring to say it. Thanks to Qianqian for being my mouthpiece! ]
[When I think of the dreadlock painter looking at my wife with his unscrupulous eyes, I want to kill him! ]
When we returned to the B&B, it was already past 9pm and the live broadcast room had been closed long ago.
As they walked into the garden, the sensor night light came on. In the dim light, Gu Qianjing and Lu Yi saw Deng Li sneaking into room 201 at the same time.
”How did Deng Li enter Li Yunhua’s room?” Gu Qianjing asked in a low voice, “It seems that these two people don’t have much interaction with each other.”
Lu Yi spread her hands and gave Gu Qianjing a gesture that said “I don’t know either”.
”Oh, never mind.” Gu Qianjing blinked at Lu, “Let’s make a facial mask. Today I’ll make a golden caviar mask. It will make you slippery after that.”
”Okay, okay… um… is it bad to always use your mask?”
Gu Qianjing, “You’re welcome. I have a refrigerator full of facial masks at home. You don’t have to hurry up. I’m afraid they will expire.”
The refrigerator is full of Mr. Lin’s hard-earned money…
In the small living room of Suite 201,
Li Yunhua stood by the window with his arms folded, with a gloomy face, staring at the dark night outside with his narrow phoenix eyes.
After a while, she turned around and glared at Deng Li fiercely, and growled in anger, “Are you crazy? Why did you do that in front of a child?”
