Qinghe Brigade and Nanhu Brigade were the few areas with better living conditions and relatively sufficient food.

In the city, many people with a salary of 40 to 50 yuan could support a family with children. It was way easier for him and Mo Beihan whose salary was above a hundred yuan.

Therefore, Mo Beihan was able to raise his two nephews and take care of his mother. He had extra income from hunting animals.

As for Gu Jinfeng, he did not have a younger brother in the family. His parents and the elder brother all had jobs. The whole family spent very little money, so naturally, there was a lot of money left.

His money, excluding his own expenses, pocket money to his sister, some subsidies to a few cousins, and filial piety to his grandparents, he still saved a lot.

The grain in exchange for his supply will go to the black market and it will be multiplied several times. In addition, he can also hunt and make money naturally.

So his sister did not need to risk herself to earn money.

For Gu Jinfeng, his little sister could still rely on his five elder brothers to raise her.

She just needed to live like a princess and grow up without any concerns.

If the other brothers could not do it, he could afford all her spendings.

Gu Jinfeng pointed at the books in front of Gu Qingyao and said, “Study hard. If the university reopens in the future, I will send you to the university and give you pocket money every day.”

“If you don't want to learn, don't be concerned about other things. Just enjoy yourself.”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

She said softly, “Aren't you scared that I will be incapable of anything?”

Gu Jinfeng opened his eyes wide and said rightfully, “How can my sister be incapable of anything? What a joke!”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door outside. The door was not closed, and it opened with a push.

“Anyone? Aunt Gu, are you there?”

Gu Qingyao and Gu Jinfeng heard the voice and came out. They saw a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy who was dressed in little clothes and his body was covered in snow. He stood at the gate of the courtyard.

Gu Fangting ran out and saw him, “Brother Jiang Xun, why are you here?”

This young man was Jiang Xun, the young man who ran to the Gu family to inform them when Gu Yunshuang went through that incident.

Jiang Xun was stunned when he saw Gu Fangting in new clothes and looked fatter than before.

“I'm here to look for you and Aunt Gu. I… I have something to tell you.”

Gu Fangting took him to Gu Yunshuang's room. Gu Qingyao and Gu Jinfeng also came.

Gu Yunshuang was shocked when she saw Jiang Xun's pale face and the snow on his body.

“Jiang Xun? Why are you here? The snow is so heavy now. Hurry! Come over and get warm.”

Jiang Xun took off the clothes outside and placed it at the door, patted the snow on his body, before walking to the stove.

Gu Fangting had already poured a cup of hot tea into his hand to warm him up.

It was too cold outside. Jiang Xun had no extra clothes to wear. He was freezing.

He took a sip of hot tea and said, “Auntie Gu, I have something to tell you. There has been an accident at the Li family recently. Madam Li was ill recently. The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law are lying on the bed. The third daughter-in-law cooked yesterday and burned the kitchen.

“Last night when the eldest son Li Dajiang was trying to extinguish the fire, he fell. He twisted his ankles and his waist. Now he can't do heavy work and has to be taken care of by others.

“I heard that their family has been arguing in the past few days, saying that no one is working in the family. Now, the kitchen is burnt and it is hard for them to eat anything.”
