Chapter 28 Gu Jiandong Makes Clay Figures

Shen Shuyu jumped down from the tree, and the naughty kids were afraid of being beaten, so they scattered noisily.

After running a long way, he turned back and said to Gu Jiandong, "Brother Jiandong, we will come to play with you tomorrow."

After playing in the mud for a while, the naughty kids have already treated Gu Jiandong as one of their own.

Gu Jiandong was very happy to make new friends. He waved to his friends and said, "Remember to come and play with me."

When Gu Jiandong came out, he was clean and tidy. When he returned, he looked like he had rolled in the mud for several times, a complete mud man.

Gu Jiandong carefully held the little clay figurine in his arms and raised it to Shen Shuyu, "Shuyu, this is for you."

Shen Shuyu saw the appearance of the little clay figurine and felt warm in her heart, "Is it for me?"

Gu Jiandong nodded.

"Thank you, I like it very much." Shen Shuyu felt that even if Gu Jiandong could not get better, he would be able to make a lot of money by making clay figurines in the future. Look, his craftsmanship is so skillful. The clay figurines he made are 90% like her, and the resemblance in spirit and appearance is so similar.

When they returned home, Old Man Shen thought Gu Jiandong had been bullied and was covered in mud.

"What's going on? Why are you so dirty? Did someone bully Jiandong?"

Shen Shuyu quickly explained, "Master, no one bullied Gu Jiandong. The mud on his body was splashed on him while playing in the mud."

As she spoke, she showed her family the clay figurine Gu Jiandong had made for her. "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, look, this is a little clay figurine Gu Jiandong had made. Does it look like me?"

"It really looks like it. This kid can do this! He has very skillful hands." Old man Shen couldn't stop praising.

"Who said this kid is stupid? Look, isn't he quite smart? No one else can make a clay figurine that looks this like..."

Everyone in the family was talking.

Shen Qiu also wanted a clay figurine exactly like her, so she came up to Gu Jiandong and whispered to him, "Brother Jiandong, can you make one for me?"

Gu Jiandong turned his head and ignored her, obviously not wanting to give her the pinch.

Shen Qiu continued to coax him, "Brother Jiandong, make a clay figurine for me, and I'll find wild fruits for you to eat. Have you ever eaten wild fruits? They are juicy when you take a bite, sour and sweet, and delicious."

Gu Jiandong swallowed his saliva and nodded, "I'll give it to you."

Shen Qiu happily pulled Gu Jiandong out to play in the mud. Gu Jiandong was dragged along unwillingly by her, just like a wife who was being bullied.

With a new boy in the family, there won’t be enough food at home if we don’t go out to buy food.

The harvest in the team has been pretty good in recent years. Every year after paying the public grain tax and distributing the food to the team members, there is still a lot of food left in the team, which will be sold.

Food is only sold to team members, and no tickets are required. If you are not a member of the team, you cannot buy it.

Shen Shuyu took the money and went to the brigade with his three cousins ​​to find Shen Erzhu to talk about buying food.

Shen Erzhu also knew that there was one more person in his eldest brother's family, and if they didn't buy food, they wouldn't have enough to eat. So he didn't say anything and took them to the grain depot of the team to weigh the food.

Last night, when Gu Jiandong got home, he ate a big bowl of sweet potato porridge and soon said he was hungry. He also ate a big bowl of noodles. Shen Shuyu knew that the child could eat. If she bought less food, she would have to buy more later.

With a wave of his hand, he asked for 100 catties of cornmeal, 50 catties of flour, 50 catties of millet, 50 catties of potatoes, 60 catties of sweet potatoes, and 20 catties each of peanuts and soybeans.

Shen Erzhu was shocked by his niece's generosity, "Buying so much? Did your grandparents ask you to?"

These cost a lot of money.

Shen Jiabao, Jiawei and Jiaguo didn't expect that their sister would buy so much food.

"Second Grandfather, Gu Jiandong has a brain injury. The doctor told him to eat well and not to starve him.

The money his parents sent was enough to buy the food."

"Okay, Second Grandpa will weigh it for you." Asking his nephew to help hold the bag, Shen Erzhu began to weigh the grain.

The food was weighed in just over ten minutes.

After doing the math, it would cost thirty-five yuan to buy these foods. The three brothers Shen Jiabao felt the pain when they saw their sister taking out the money.

It would be too ostentatious to buy so much food at once, so Shen Shuyu asked his three cousins ​​to carry 50 kilograms of food each and go back, and they could come back to get the rest in the evening.

Anyone who sees spending so much money on food these days would say it's a waste of money.

In other words, the niece bought food for Gu Jiandong, and the money was prepared by her parents, not a penny from the Shen family.

If his elder brother spent so much money on buying food, Shen Erzhu would definitely say something.

At this time, everyone had gone home to prepare dinner, and there were not many people on the road.

After carrying the food home, Shen Shuyu told her grandparents that she spent 35 yuan on the food. The old couple was calm, "It's a little more, but it's okay. The child can eat it."

Anyway, his parents prepared so much money for their son because they wanted him to live a good life in the countryside. The Shen family can't let their child starve.

The old couple was calm, but Uncle Shen and his wife were so surprised that they could fit an egg in their mouths.

Uncle Shen was afraid that he had heard wrongly, "How much? Thirty-five yuan for buying food?"

Shen Jiabao nodded to his father affirmatively, "Dad, you heard it right, it's thirty-five yuan."

Although she didn't spend her own money, Li Caixia felt like a piece of her flesh had been cut off. "Spending... 35 yuan to buy food is equivalent to more than a month's salary for a worker. This is too much."

Liu Pandi couldn't help but say, "Mom, Shen Shuyu is too outrageous. Who would be so stupid as to spend so much money on food!" Wouldn't it be better to use the thirty-five yuan to buy a few pounds of meat for the family or buy some cloth?

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law both looking as if they had been chopped off, Old Lady Shen's eyes became stern, "What are you looking at, are you thinking of rebelling?

What's wrong with my sweet boy spending 35 yuan? I didn't spend your money, I spent the money that Changfeng prepared for his son, why are you two so distressed?

My dear, I won't buy food, so are you willing to give your own food to Jiandong?"

They worked so hard every day to earn just enough to eat, so how could they be willing to give their own food to an outsider? Uncle Shen said,

"Shu Yu bought this grain well. Thirty-five dollars is not too much."

Li Caixia also reacted. Why should she feel distressed? It was not their family's money that was being spent. The more food her niece bought, the better. Even if Gu Jiandong could eat, he would not be able to eat their rations. After all, their own rations were enough.

"Shu Yu bought it well. If Jian Dong wants to eat something in the future, tell me and I will make it."

Liu Pandian: “…” They are all flatterers. They changed their words after being glared at by their mother-in-law. What a coward.

"Old Third, why are you bowing your head? If you have any opinions in your heart, just speak up. I am not an unreasonable person."

Liu Pandi had some complaints in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. "Mom, I was just thinking about what to cook for Shu Yu tonight. Any opinions? I don't have any complaints. Under your management, everyone in this family has enough food and clothes, and they live a comfortable life. I am grateful in my heart."
