"Dad, this is all our forest farm's business. Your asking is just to show concern for the forest farm. Is there anything you can't ask? That migrant named Qin, who is the farm manager, has he done anything else besides bullying honest people?

?”

Gu Zhaocheng admitted that Qin Yan was more suitable for politics than Gu Changshan.

Some of the leaders above may be more satisfied with Qin Yan, but for forest farm workers, Qin Yan is definitely not a good choice.

Especially for Gu Changshan, it is not a good choice.

The two people are not at the same level politically.

Gu Changshan couldn't beat Qin Yan at all. Just like when he was laid off this time, Qin Yan made most of the lists, and Gu Changshan took all the blame.

Gu Changshan was almost tired of people and dogs in the forest farm, but nothing happened to Qin Yan.

"Let us talk about the matters inside the forest farm later." Gu Changshan still didn't want to talk about the forest farm in front of the children. This is actually a good habit, not to put pressure on the family, and then changed the topic:

"Hey, you take out the things we bought for the children and see if they like them?"

"Hey, parents, did you buy me something?" Gu Zhaoxi was the first to cheer.

This is the time when a child of this age likes gifts.

"Go, let's go. Why are you joining in the fun? I didn't buy anything for you. You don't need anything, so I'll buy you whatever."

Gu Zhaoxi pushed the Cunhua away and was about to rummage through the bag to find a gift.

Na Cunhua took out two pairs of shoes from the bag:

"Xingjie, Fengqin, it's getting colder and colder. Your uncle and I bought you a pair of cotton shoes each. How about you give it a try?"

"Aunt, how much are these shoes? I'll give you the money for them."

Although both of them successfully took the shoes, Xingjie started talking to the Gu family again and was about to take out the money in his pocket and give the money for the shoes to him.

"Xingjie, my dad and mom bought you a pair of shoes because they were afraid you would be cold. They care about you. You have lived at home for so long and you still treat yourself like an outsider. Please take your money back.

."

Before Na Cunhua was about to explode, Gu Zhaocheng quickly stopped Chen Xingjie.

This kind of thing happened not once or twice at home.

From the previous eggs, two people had to break them for a few cents.

After arriving, hats, gloves, and now shoes, all items that cost a few yuan or dozens of yuan will also be torn off.

Xingjie has made progress during his time in the Gu family and is no longer as polite as when he first entered the Gu family.

Small things like eggs are no longer persistent.

But progress still requires a process. It takes time to go from being able to accept a few cents calmly, to something worth a few dollars, to something worth dozens of dollars.

Gu Zhaocheng could understand Xingjie, but Na Cunhua couldn't.

Xingjie refused the good intentions of saving flowers time and time again, always calculating the money clearly.

In Na Cunhua's heart, it was Xingjie who never regarded himself as a member of the Gu family, and he was hurting Na Cunhua's heart again and again.

Cunhua has a habit of treating people sincerely. If I treat others sincerely, I will be hurt when others are not sincere.

"Brother, this money is not a small amount." Xingjie said to Gu Zhaocheng.

"Then it's not a big amount. If you show off like this, my mother will be really angry and her face will change."

Xingjie still wanted to pay, but Gu Zhaocheng held him down.

Of course, Xingjie couldn't compete with Gu Zhaocheng for the final marriage.

But this kid can't be direct, and he can also be devious.

Maybe at some point, the money will be put in a drawer on a table at home.

"

Entrusted to me by dad."

So after dinner, Gu Zhaocheng still found an opportunity to call Xingjie out and decided to continue chatting with Xingjie about this aspect.

Although the Gu family's life is not rich, it is definitely better than Xingjie's "orphan" status.

Why does the Gu family have Gu Changshan's salary? Xingjie's money is really worth every penny spent.

Although Xingjie's father, Chen Shangyou, had an accident, which was not sudden, he really entrusted Xingjie with Gu Changshan.

Before Chen Shangyou's accident, he was originally persuaded by Chen Xingjie's mother, Huang Xiaoping, to quit and go to the south to work.

Chen Shangyou was already preparing to go to the south to work with his wife Huang Xiaoping. Xingjie was in his third year of high school and could not follow the couple around, so he decided to leave Xingjie at the forest farm and entrust him to Gu Changshan.

Just after entrusting his son to his son, Chen Shangyou's friend disappeared.

What was originally a matter of going out to work as an orphan has become a matter of caring for an orphan before death.

Giving a wife and a son is a great recognition of a person's character.

Gu Changshan had such great trust from Chen Shangyou, so of course he wanted to take good care of him.

"Brother, it's not that I'm being polite to my family, but I can see that the family is really in trouble and I don't want to bring too much burden to the family. Just like this time when my uncle and aunt went to the city and bought shoes for me and Feng Qin, they didn't even have them.

I bought it for you and Zhaoxi, isn’t it just because my family is not well-off?"

Xingjie probably really thinks so. His personality is similar to that of his father, Chen Xingjie, who is simple, kind and grateful.

If Xingjie had a character like his mother Huang Xiaoping, he would not have this trouble now.

"What's the matter? My parents didn't buy shoes for me and Zhaoxi because they bought them for us when it got cold, so we didn't buy them now."

Although the Gu family is not well-off, they cannot afford to wear brand-name clothes for their children.

But it doesn’t mean that the child has no clothes or shoes to wear.

Nor would he not buy shoes for the brothers because of other people's children.

If Gu Changshan wants to treat Gu Zhaoxi badly, he will not treat Gu Zhaocheng, his stepson, too.

Gu Changshan was kind to other children, but he was a little strict with his own son Gu Zhaoxi.

"Brother, actually after my dad left, my mom left me a lot of money. My uncle and aunt shouldn't actually spend money on me."

"The money in your family is the money your father left for you to go to college. You can't just spend it when you go to high school. You have to spend some money to go to college, so you have to keep the money."

Xingjie is not a woman who can live a normal life in the forest farm.

She belongs to the most luxurious group of women in the forest farm and can spend money quite a lot.

Although compared with women in the city, it is not a waste, but buying a piece of fur or a mink is something Huang Xiaoping can do.

Therefore, the Xingjie family's money, even if Chen Shangyou's pension is included, will not be too much.

The five-digit figure is thanks to the leaders of the Forestry Bureau and the workers at the forestry farm who donated a lot of money out of humanitarianism.

The annual college tuition fee is getting higher and higher every year, and now it is at least more than 2,000 yuan a year.

After two years, it may grow to three or four thousand a year.

When the economy catches up with inflation, most families can't actually afford a college student with their annual income, even if they don't spend it at home.

Families with better conditions can rely on their savings to hold on for a while.

Those with poor conditions can only borrow money, because if you don’t have money, you can’t afford it.

"Brother, I still have to spend the money I have to spend."

In fact, Xingjie is also a very stubborn and persistent person.

"What do you spend? You are a student and you don't make any money, so what do you spend? Just keep your money for yourself. Don't worry about your family. My eldest brother will work soon and start making money soon.

I won't be able to hold on.

You must not argue with your aunt in the future, she will really be sad. Don't think so much, study hard and get into a university, so that you can live up to the expectations of your father and the rest of us.

"

Patting Xingjie on the shoulder, leaving Xingjie thinking outside, Gu Zhaocheng entered the house.

The problem of spending money is not the key. The problem is that Xingjie should not get into trouble with Na Chunhua because of something.

"Zhaocheng, have you talked to Xingjie?" Gu Changshan said after returning to the house and sitting on the kang in the house.

"After chatting, Xingjie doesn't want to get angry with us, he just feels that he should contribute to the family."

Gu Zhaocheng sat on the other side of the kang table and replied.

I still have to say something for Xingjie. What this kid did is actually not wrong.

After all, it is for the good of this family.

"That kid is just like you, he's always so polite at home."

Gu Changshan looked at Xingjie outside, then at Gu Zhaocheng and sighed.

In fact, Gu Changshan's mentality was not as fragile as that of Cunhua. He should have developed his immunity through Gu Zhaocheng's years of politeness.

"It's not that I'm being polite, it's that after I become sensible, I want to make my home better."
