Zhu Cheng obediently moved the box and followed Zhou and Gu Xiaoyou into the bank.

Gu Xiaoyou asked Zhu Cheng to put the box on the counter. She took out the bills from her sleeves, slapped them on the table, and said to the bank boss very proudly: "Boss, change the banknotes!"

The bank boss slowly raised his head, with no expression on his face.

He looked them over and recognized Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou, who often came to deposit money.

A warm smile suddenly appeared on the bank owner's face: "It's Doctor Gu and Boss Zhou. How many banknotes do you want to exchange?"

Gu Xiaoyou clicked on the note and patted the box: "Six thousand taels of silver and five hundred taels of gold."

"Five hundred taels of gold?" The bank owner and Zhu Cheng said in unison, and they both looked at the box at the same time.

The bank boss's expression was one of surprise.

Zhu Cheng was frightened. He didn't expect that the box contained gold, so he casually took a box of gold and walked around Qingcheng County.

Zhu Cheng suddenly shed cold sweat on his back. Fortunately, there were no people in Qingcheng County in the morning, otherwise...

He didn't dare to think any more and stood behind Gu Xiaoyou with his legs weak.

Gu Xiaoyou didn't know that she had inadvertently scared people, and continued to talk to the bank boss: "Hurry up, we have to go back to open the business."

"Okay, okay, I'll change it for you right now."

The bank owner came to his senses and quickly called the accountant in the store to check with him.

The accountant clicked the abacus and checked the amounts meticulously.

About half an hour later, the accountant wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to everyone: "The total is six thousand seven hundred and eighty-two taels, plus five hundred taels of gold. If it is exchanged for silver notes, it will be exchanged for seventeen thousand yuan."

of silver notes, seven hundred-yuan silver notes, and the rest can be exchanged for broken silver."

After the accountant finished speaking, the bank boss said with a smile: "Doctor Gu, how do you want to change it?"

"I changed them all." Gu Xiaoyou said cheerfully.

"Yes, I will change it for you right away." The bank owner responded with a smile, quickly checked the banknote, and handed the broken silver into Gu Xiaoyou's hand.

"Please confirm."

Gu Xiaoyou checked it once, and asked Zhou to check it again. After confirming that it was correct, he nodded.

"Then I'll move the box away." The bank owner immediately asked the clerk to carry the box inside.

Gu Xiaoyou watched the box being moved away by them, and suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave it. He called to them: "Wait a minute."

The bank owner asked confusedly: "Is there any problem?"

"I want to keep a gold ingot." Gu Xiaoyou held the banknote in his hand: "How many banknotes are there, I want to exchange for one."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The bank owner took out a scale, took out a gold ingot and measured it.

The bank boss quickly weighed in, put the gold ingot on the counter, and said to Gu Xiaoyou: "Fifty taels of silver."

"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou happily took out fifty taels of silver and exchanged the gold ingot for it.

She put the gold ingots and silver notes close to her body and left the bank with Zhou and Zhu Cheng.

Gu Xiaoyou completed the important task and said happily: "Let's go, I will take you to have breakfast."

"Thank you, Boss Gu, for your kindness. I still need to deliver the goods, so I'll leave first." Zhu Cheng said politely.

"Okay, let's change it another day."

Gu Xiaoyou and Zhu Cheng waved goodbye, and Zhu Cheng nodded to her and Zhou, and got into the car.

Zhu Cheng lightly raised the reins and called out to drive. The horse raised its front hooves and pulled the truck away.

Gu Xiaoyou glanced at the direction the truck was leaving and said to Ms. Zhou, "Sister Zhou, Zhu Cheng is quite reliable in doing things."

Zhou nodded in agreement: "Yes, he is honest and reliable."

She suddenly thought of the scene she saw in the bank, covered her mouth, smiled, and said softly: "You didn't see, when he heard that there was gold in the box, his face turned pale..."

After hearing this, Gu Xiaoyou burst into laughter: "Haha, this Zhu Cheng is too courageous."

"He's not timid. Most people would react this way when they find out it's gold." Zhou said angrily, "You think everyone is the same as you, with such a generous heart."

Gu Xiaoyou curled her lips and said aggrievedly: "I'm just talking casually. Besides, I was also scared when I saw gold for the first time."

"What are you afraid of? Too few?" Zhou said teasingly.

"Sister Zhou, are you still the Sister Zhou I know? Are you making fun of me now?" Gu Xiaoyou said in disbelief.

Zhou's face turned pale and she said timidly: "I'm sorry Xiaoyou, I didn't mean it."

Gu Xiaoyou was afraid that Mr. Zhou would turn back to Wei Nai, so she quickly explained: "Sister Zhou, I don't mean to blame you. I like how you talk to me so casually."

"Really?" Zhou asked unconfidently.

"real."

Gu Xiaoyou nodded sincerely and looked at Mrs. Zhou with affirmative eyes, and Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the atmosphere was relaxing, Gu Xiaoyou also breathed a sigh of relief and happened to pass by the breakfast shop.

Gu Xiaoyou pointed to the buns at the door and said, "Sister Zhou, I won't make breakfast today. I'll buy a few buns and a chicken drumstick for Liang'er."

Mrs. Zhou still remembered Gu Xiaoyou's previous joke and said seriously: "Okay, you have to eat everything you buy. You can't eat and throw away any one."

"I know, Boss Zhou." Gu Xiaoyou teased, winking mischievously at Mr. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou shook her head amusedly, this Xiaoyou was just like Liang'er, like a child.

Gu Xiaoyou took Mrs. Zhou to the breakfast shop, bought some steamed buns and chicken legs, and the two of them walked home talking and laughing.

As soon as I entered the house, Liang'er and the little yellow dog greeted me.

"Mom, Aunt Gu, where have you been?"

"I went to buy steamed buns, and I also bought you a big chicken drumstick."

Gu Xiaoyou opened the paper bag in her hand, and the aroma of chicken drumsticks immediately spread into the air.

Liang'er looked at the chicken drumsticks in the oil paper bag and said in surprise: "Thank you, Aunt Gu."

"You're welcome, wash your hands, we're ready to eat."

Gu Xiaoyou pinched Liang'er's little face and watched Liang'er jumping and running away with the little yellow dog.

She put the steamed buns she bought on the plate, Zhou took out the porridge she had cooked in the morning, and quickly copied a few side dishes.

Soon, a sumptuous breakfast was placed on the dining table in the small courtyard.

Liang'er helped get the bowls and chopsticks, and the three of them sat together and ate breakfast happily.

After the meal, Gu Xiaoyou returned to the room. She took out the banknote, wrapped it in oil paper, and put it under the bed board.

She took out the gold ingot again, weighed it in her hand, and raised the corners of her mouth.

"Just keep one as a souvenir. After all, this is the first gold I earned."

As Gu Xiaoyou said this, Mu Wuchen's figure flashed in her heart, and a smile flashed in her eyes.

I originally wanted to put the gold ingot and the banknote together, but I instantly changed my mind.
