Chapter 598
Dawang calculated their money they got from kowtowing twice to their parents. Plus, there was also the money they earned from going out to pay New Year greetings and taking exams, which totaled to about 2 Yuan and a bit more. Also, there was also the money Sanwang earned from being someone’s boyfriend.
Ah, the money I won was confiscated.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and replaced the gun with a slingshot before buying his younger brother a car. He couldn’t afford the large one, so he could only buy a pull-back car along with a jumping toy frog for Xiaowang. That way, his two youngest brothers would be able to play together.
The pull-back car was rather small, but when pressed and pulled back, it would zoom forward on its own after being released. Children liked it very much.
None of the children in the village ever saw such an item since they were so rare anyways.
The two brothers were very satisfied.
It was a bit difficult to choose a slingshot, but Dawang spotted a good one at a glance. It was not a shoddy one, but made with a fine hardwood body and paired a translucent, double-strand beige rubber band. There was also a piece of pure cowhide attached in the middle. The grip feel was good and the band was rather elastic as well.
But even with all the money added up, it was still 5 cents short.
Either he forfeits the little frog or buys an ordinary slingshot.
Xiaowang saw his Eldest Brother standing there silently with his brows furrowed, as if he was embarrassed.
He stopped playing the harmonica and asked Sanwang what was going on.
Sanwang whispered, “We don’t have enough money,” He also motioned for him to keep his voice low so that the others would not joke about them not having enough money to buy what they wanted.
Xiaowang stopped playing the harmonica and pointed at the little frog, “I don’t want it anymore.”
