This shouting called out everyone in the family.

Wang Meihua took her hand in surprise and said, "My son, after you have been away from your mother for a few days, do you miss your mother? Do you miss your brothers and sisters at home?"

Yun Lan and Yun Duo also held the eldest sister's hand and chirped like sparrows.

"Brother, we all miss you."

Gu Yunxiao put his head in his mother's arms and arched it randomly, then patted his two sisters on the head with a smile and reminded: "There are outsiders here, let me introduce to you, this is the guest I invited back."

Only then did the mother and daughter see a strange young man not far behind.

Wang Meihua said enthusiastically: "This little brother, please come in quickly!"

Gu Yunxiao said to his family: "Brother Wang used to be my father's subordinate. Let him help our family sell cakes in the future."

The two sisters quickly put away the joy on their faces and said respectfully: "Brother Wang, okay!"

Detective Wang saw Gu Yunxiao's emotions exposed with his own eyes, but he didn't expect Brother Gu to be so childish in front of his family.

Thinking of the other person's age, he suddenly smiled with relief.

He introduced himself: "Aunt, two girls, my name is Wang Xingchen. Because I am disabled, Brother Gu asked me to help. When will I come to pick up the goods?"

Originally, he was several years older than Gu Yunxiao.

Gu Baotou gave their mother and son a way out and respectfully called Gu Yunxiao eldest brother.

The mother and daughter immediately understood the identity of the visitor.

Gu Yunxiao said hurriedly: "Brother Wang, don't call me brother. Please come in first and try the pastries we will sell tomorrow."

This sentence immediately brought them closer to each other, and Wang Xingchen's nervous heart immediately calmed down.

These days, although it is inconvenient for mother and daughter to go out and sell pastries, in order to practice their skills, they are making pastries every day.

They were given to neighbors and acquaintances to taste, and some people bought the pastries after tasting them. Although they didn’t make much money, the cost of materials was earned.

Wang Xingchen walked into the yard, and everyone in the Gu family discovered that he was missing an arm.

Wang Yunlan hurriedly moved over a chair and said, "Brother Wang, please sit down!"

After tasting the pastry, Wang Xingchen said in surprise: "Not bad!"

While walking on the road just now, Gu Yunxiao told him that he was going on a business trip for half a month and asked him to find a suitable place to set up a stall first.

He had worked as a police officer, and no one on the street dared to come up to him to make him feel uncomfortable.

Besides, all the policemen in the yamen were attracted by him when they saw him, so no one would bully him.

Gu Yunxiao then said: "Brother Wang, you come to pick up the pastries at chenshi tomorrow and use my carriage to pull them there. Find a busy place on the street to set up a stall, and the price will be given to you tomorrow morning. Sell the pastries every day and you will earn 10% of profit.”

Wang Xingchen said gratefully: "Thank you very much!"

After sending the guests away, Gu Yunxiao said to Wang Tianyou: "Cousin, if you have nothing to do for a while, you can help me write a sign for Wang's Pastry Shop. Tomorrow morning, you can teach Brother Wang how to sell goods. I'm going out at nine o'clock. It takes half a month to go to the Imperial City and come back."

Wang Tianyou asked eagerly: "Yunxiao, are you leaving so early tomorrow? Is it dangerous to stay there for so long?"

With his mother and sister present, Gu Yunxiao nodded straight to the point and said, "It's just something temporary, there's no danger."

Wang Tianyou said with emotion: "It's not easy to do your job!"

When sisters Wang Meihua, Yunlan and Yunduo heard that Gu Yunxiao was leaving again, they felt reluctant to leave.

"Brother, is there really no danger?"

"Of course not, I just want to send something to the Imperial City."

"Then let's make you some pastries to take with you."

Gu Yunxiao nodded and said, "Okay!"

Wang Meihua called her over and asked with concern how many people were going to deliver things?

Gu Yunxiao knew that his mother was worried, so he couldn't help but think of a sentence: The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles.

She said in a relaxed tone: "Mom, I'm going with Uncle Song and a policeman. I'm just going with you to gain experience. Mom, don't worry."

"Go out tomorrow, and remember not to be aggressive or cause trouble on the way. Capt. Song has experience, so listen to him. Don't worry at home. Your grandma is tired and sleeping now. She usually helps me take care of the children, so my mother has time to bake. There are pastries. By the way, Mom will make some more food for you to take with you..."

"Mom, you are still in confinement, I will make food by myself."

Gu Yunxiao pushed Wang Meihua into the room.

She walked into the kitchen and found Yun Lan and Yun Duo there.

"Sister, you must be tired. Let's help you make food."

Gu Yunxiao shook his head and said: "No, let my cousin teach you how to make bread and cream cakes. Let Brother Wang ask about buying cows or dairy goats tomorrow, and I will leave the money to my mother later."

Wang Tianyou nodded and said: "Yunxiao, I will teach them now."

Gu Yunxiao made some fried noodles in the kitchen and baked some yeast sugar cakes.

There is a lot of ready-made food in the space, just take it out tomorrow.

Tonight, she wanted to visit the old house.

After finishing the evening meal, she took off her machete, hid the dagger in her waist, and said calmly to her family: "I'm going for a horse ride, maybe I'll come back later."

When the two younger sisters heard about it, their eyes suddenly brightened and they said, "Brother, we want to go too."

"You can continue making bread at home and don't mix it up."

The words have fallen! She rode towards the village where her grandmother lived.

It had been many years since the family had been separated, and the original owner had no idea where her grandmother lived, let alone a Xibei girl like her.

That day, Gu Yunxiao asked his mother and found out the village where his grandmother lived and the general location.

After riding for a while, it was getting dark.

When we arrived outside the village, we saw that only a few houses in the whole village had lights.

She tied the horse in the woods outside the village.

He carefully walked into the village and found the general location of the old house. When he saw the house in front of him in the moonlight, he was stunned.

When my grandmother asked for pension funds, she complained that she had no money to clean up the dilapidated house she lived in. The house was obviously built in the past two years.

The front is made of blue-grey adobe bricks and has five main rooms, which is much better than the thatched house where I live.

Did you look in the wrong place?

I saw a faint light in the house and knew that the people inside were not asleep.

I pushed the door gently and found that it was plugged in.

She walked around the fence, found a low place, and jumped in carefully.

Before she could get closer, she saw the door of the room open, and a half-grown man walked out with his eyes narrowed. He "hissed..." at the wall for a while, and then walked back unsteadily.

This caused the old woman in the room to curse loudly, "Sandan, you went out to pee and peed on the wall again, right? You don't know how to pee on the fence, something that Si Liu doesn't understand? How many times have I told you that I can't remember... Why?" Like that white-eyed wolf of your second uncle."

This crackling and strong output allowed Gu Yunxiao, who was hiding in the dark, to hear that this was not the scumbag grandmother?

She immediately felt unworthy of her cheap father. He was so filial during his lifetime, but was looked down upon by his mother after his death.

If he heard this, the coffin board might not be able to hold it down.

The young boy who came out to pee just now was none other than the uncle's San Dan.

She thought she had found the wrong one, but it turned out to be this one!

I remembered that my cheap dad was frugal and lived in a dilapidated adobe house, but was exploited by his grandmother, uncle and others.

They built such a good house and were not satisfied. Their son died and they wanted to continue to search for wealth.

What's even more annoying is that in trying to find her a husband, he actually wants to sell her.

The cheap dad didn't know it until his death. He was kind-hearted and raised a pack of white-eyed wolves!

Among these five main rooms is the living room.

The uncle and his wife lived in one room, the grandmother lived in one room, Da Dan lived in another room, and Er Dan and San Dan lived in one room.

Grandma lives on the far east side, and she can tell where several people live.

He continued to hide in the dark, waiting for the scolding in the room to stop and the kerosene lamp to go out.

Then he started to act cautiously.

She took out the small iron piece from the space and carefully moved the door insert of the door to the side.

Just now she clearly heard the sound of the door shaft opening, so she took out a small pot of oil and poured some oil on the door shaft.

After a while, she gently opened the door. When she heard that the door hinge did not ring, she carefully walked into the old lady's room.

The room was dark, and she stood quietly for a while, waiting to adjust to the surrounding environment before daring to take action.

Through the cold moonlight, I could clearly see several cabinets on the north side. Only one cabinet was locked. It was conceivable that all the good things were in this cabinet.

Carefully walk to the locked cabinet and use the master key in the space to carefully and tentatively unlock the door.

The Gu family are just ordinary people who use ordinary brass locks. A master key in the apocalypse is definitely overkill to open such a lock.

After a moment, the brass lock was opened.

Gu Yunxiao carefully placed the cabinet cover, reached into the cabinet and put everything inside into the space.

People also enter the space quietly.

When I saw the things collected from the cabinet, I was speechless.

Among them were brown sugar and white sugar, a large bag of salt, and several pieces of cloth.

I don’t know when it was made, but it was a package of old clothes, which were intended to be the shrouds to be worn after death.

There are also a dozen silver ingots worth one tael, five taels, and ten taels, two gold ingots worth ten taels, and a pile of copper plates.

There seemed to be hundreds of them, all dressed and neatly placed in cloth bags.

Gu Yunxiao was angry in his heart. These ingots and copper plates should be the filial piety of the cheap old man. The old man has to look forward to Shu to get more. It's so shameless!

Since grandma is greedy, she would stab her in the heart to prevent her from jumping around when nothing happens.

At the same time, she deeply doubted that Cheap's father was her biological son?

She kept the silver ingots, gold ingots and copper plates. After leaving the space, she carefully put the other items into the cabinet and gently locked the cabinet door.

We returned the same way and felt very good after leaving the village.

Tomorrow, when the old man sees that all the money is gone, he will definitely feel like he is mourning for his heir. He will suspect that he stole some of the eggs from his uncle's house, so he will just let them bite the dog.

She wanted to teach the old thing a lesson and make her feel heartbroken.

Seeing that I was home, I remembered that I was worried that there would be no food at home after walking for so long.

He walked into the yard and went straight to the kitchen, and took out a bag of refined rice, a bag of refined noodles, and a bag of cornmeal from the space.

There are also several kilograms of pig meat, roast chicken and duck, a pile of dried meat and fish, and a large basket of eggs.

When I walked out of the kitchen, I found that my grandmother and two younger sisters had turned off the lights and were sleeping in their house.

The eldest cousin also lay down on the bed made of several wooden boards in the main room.

Only the rooms of my mother and two younger brothers still had faint lights.

I don’t know if it’s the two younger brothers who are causing trouble, or the mother who’s awake?

When I walked to the door, I didn't hear any movement from my brothers. I stopped and didn't know whether I should go in or not.

I heard my mother's voice whispering at the right time: "Is it Yunxiao?"

Gu Yunxiao immediately understood that his mother was waiting for him, so he carefully opened the door and walked in.

"Mom, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"You kid, why did you come back so late after going for a horse walk? You have to get up early tomorrow."

"Mom, I want to tell you something!"

"you say?"

Gu Yunxiao whispered: "Uncle Song and I went to Xinglong Town this time. We did a good job and saved that family. The owner of the family rewarded us with some silver ingots. Uncle Song said that we can collect the money. Usually they I also received extra money, and I got two silver ingots."

"you mean?"

"Mom, my father has been a headhunter for so many years and has a lot of extra income, but how have we, mother and daughter, lived all these years? Do you want to know where the money has gone?"

Wang Meihua said calmly: "I know this. Your father gave all the money to your grandmother."

Gu Yunxiao looked at his mother in surprise.

It turns out that my mother agreed to give the money to my grandmother.

Gu Yunxiao continued to ask: "Then do you know that her family has built five new houses?"

Wang Meihua smiled bitterly and said: "I know, no matter what, your grandmother is your father's mother. What can your father do if she wants money?"

Foolishness and filial piety kill people!

The cheap father and mother are just like most people in this society. They would rather be wronged than have their reputation affected by others' criticism.

Gu Yunxiao originally wanted to tell her mother about the wealth she got from her scumbag grandmother today, and also wanted to give the money to her mother.

Afraid that her mother would return the wealth to her grandmother, she quickly gave up the idea of ​​giving her money.

If you go out for half a month, you should leave more money for your mother.

And the money to buy dairy goats or cows must not be given to the mother, but should be given to the second sister Yunlan.
