Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Narrative
Jiang Shi reached out to take Gu Xiang's hand, and pulled her to sit beside her.

Gu Xiang's hands are particularly well-grown, with slender fingers, soft and warm in the palm of her hand. She has loved to hold and play with the fingers of a little girl since she was a child.

Jiang sighed: "It's a good thing, it's a good thing."

Gu Laoshi was startled, and looked up at his wife: "My lady?"

Shaking her head, Mrs. Jiang only said to Gu Xiang: "16 years ago, I accompanied your father to work in the county town. He was also young and aggressive, and he didn't want to stay at home and let his parents take care of him."

"As soon as I did it, I went from autumn to winter in the next year. I was busy every day. It snowed that day. Your father and I finally finished the work of a family. I thought it would be the New Year's Day. This year's more than a year I didn’t go home, and I didn’t go back during the New Year, so I hurried home for the New Year. On the way, I accidentally slipped down the hillside. Fortunately, there was snow on the ground, which was very soft. I just twisted it Waist, I didn’t lose my life, but your father wanted to save me, but he didn’t make up his mind to get stuck in the crevice of the mountain and couldn’t get out, and his leg bone was broken.”

Mrs. Jiang sighed, "It was really cold that day. The climate in the village these years is strange. It was freezing early in the winter, and it was so cold that I thought the two of us would not survive. At this time, the people on the mountain road Just come over a young lady who is more than 20 years old."

"Although the lady is young, she is very skilled. She took out a rope from her sleeve and climbed down the hillside all the way. She saved both of us by herself."

Mrs. Jiang fell into memory, her expression was a little nostalgic, but also a little helpless, "It's just that I accidentally caught the wind and cold, and it was very cold, and your father broke his leg. The lady had no choice but to find a cave in the mountains and take us After settling down, she even collected herbs for us to use. She is very capable, and the medicinal materials she picked are also very effective. Your father and I have suffered so much, but we are all safe. Your father even has that old spot on his waist The problem was also cured by her."

"At that time, the young lady was not alone. She was still holding a baby in her arms. The baby was just born, only a few months old. It was carved in powder and jade. It was so cute. The little lady carried her everywhere she went. Later, when we got to know each other better, she went to collect herbs nearby, so she would let me take a look, but if she went a long way, she would still refuse."

"I can understand her. Such a cute girl, well-behaved, very sensible, doesn't cry easily, and is extremely smart. Who wouldn't like it?"

"Your father and I are in good condition. I thought about saying goodbye to that lady. I never thought that she would go out that day, saying that she was going to the surrounding villages to find some more medicinal materials, and also find a donkey cart for me and A Lang. Thinking back, I don’t know what happened to me, I was seriously injured, I fell down and couldn’t get up again.”

"She is my savior. Alang and I can't be ungrateful and leave her alone. But Alang's legs and feet are still not good, and I was also injured. It's not right every day, and the earth is not working. There is no way out, but the little lady is open-minded, she wakes up and thinks it is God's will, she has nothing to do, the only thing she worries about is the baby who is still in its infancy."

"The little lady said that she is the maid of the baby's mother, and the mistress has passed away unfortunately. She is the only one left behind. I said: "My sister-in-law is a kind person. Normally, this matter should not involve my sister-in-law. But in my current situation, I'm afraid it really won't happen.""

"She also seemed to be hesitant. She told us several times during the period that she would entrust us to deliver a message, but she didn't say much in the end. When she couldn't bear it, she finally made up her mind to entrust the child to me and A Lang. She said that she has been unable to find out who is reliable and who is a traitor. If we are really asked to send this child to where she should go, I am afraid that the road will not be smooth. Maybe the child will not survive, and the lives of the two of us will also be implicated , so she begged me to adopt the child."

Jiang Shi held Gu Xiang's hand, lowered her head and sighed quietly.

Gu Xiang said softly: "This is my blessing. There are not many good people in the world who can love their daughter as much as A Niang. I can enter the door of our Gu family. .”

Jiang suddenly laughed, and all the complicated emotions were swept away. She put her arms around her daughter's shoulders and sighed, "It's really my most caring little cotton padded jacket."

Even if she has Xiao Wu, she still loves Ah Xiang the most in her heart.

She didn't know before that sometimes she was really not a layman, and she didn't care about blood relationship at all.

All she knew was that she held Ah Xiang in her hands and carefully cared for her. At that time, the family was not well-off, and she had never given birth, so she had no milk, so she had to work hard to earn money and ask her aunt in the village to help feed her.

You worked so hard to raise it so big!
Hey!
"The lady died terribly. She left a message asking us to cremate her. We don't want to open the things she was carrying, but just bury her with her ashes."

Mrs. Jiang said softly, "At that time, there were few people in Guzhuang, and the ancestral tomb was remote. A Lang and I secretly built the tomb for her. The stone tablet was also bought in Fucheng when A Lang was going to repair houses for others, and had someone transport it here. , I thought about it, and I didn’t know her name, so I just engraved the words on the small bookmark she put in the book-'I plan to take the sun and the moon from my heart'."

"A Niang thinks it's very appropriate. She said that she is an ordinary maid beside the mistress, but seeing her mentioning her mistress, she is clearly a first-class loyal servant."

Mrs. Jiang pulled Gu Xiang, and said all the words that had been held in her stomach for 16 years in one breath, and she felt better in her heart.

"Recently, a tomb was going to be built in the village. The mother and son surnamed Cui said they knew the lady. I felt a little strange in my heart, but the lady is indeed a warm-hearted person. When she sees people in trouble, she will definitely extend her hand. Maybe she really saved them? When your father and I buried her, we were very careful. After all, she was seriously injured and died. There might be enemies outside. We were also afraid of implicating you, Ah Xiang, so we didn’t mention it outside easily these years... How could the mother and son of the Cui family... Do you know that she is buried in this grave?"

Gu Xiang smiled: "Who knows? Don't care if she is sincere or not, we Gu Zhuang are not afraid of this now!"

Jiang Shi smiled, obviously what was more concerned about her daughter's experience of going to the capital in her heart, she couldn't care about anything else at all, let Gu Xiang talk about it carefully first.

"Your father and I have been thinking about this all these years. Ah Xiang, you can see that she is a girl from a good family. I can see that the material of the swaddle is expensive, and there are things left by that lady. There is a portrait of your mother, just the clothes and appearance, she is like a fairy in the sky."

Because of this, Jiang Shi and Gu Laoshi have worried about their daughter being recognized by her biological parents for many years, and they also hope that their daughter will be recognized.
