Chapter 64 Gu Ci's Heart Knot

"Daddy, we're back, and my mother and I brought you something to eat!" Gu Ye put a paper bag into Gu Ci's hand as if offering a treasure as soon as he entered the room.

Gu Ci felt the softness inside, and asked, "What is this?"

"It's for food." Gu Ye couldn't wait. "Daddy, take a look, you must like it."

Hearing this, Gu Ci opened the paper bag, and there were several pieces of mung bean cake inside.

Seeing the mung bean cake, Gu Ci fell silent immediately, instead of eating it immediately, he asked Gu Ye: "Did you ask mother to buy it?"

This mung bean cake is not a rare thing, but it is Gu Ci's favorite food since he was a child. However, he has never eaten these cakes since he came to the village. Now that he suddenly saw it, he felt a little touched.

Gu Ye shook his head, "Mother wanted to buy it herself, and she said it was brought back for you, Daddy, so do you like mung bean cakes?" He had never seen what kind of cakes Daddy ate before, because he was in poor health, so he kept They all ate very little.

Gu Ci didn't answer, but asked him again: "Where's your mother?"

"Mother is outside. Mother bought a lot of chickens and ducklings on the street today. After talking about it, I raised them in the yard. When they grow up, they will lay eggs and eat eggs." Gu Ye talked about eating, a pair The eyes are shining, and he is a snack.

Putting the mung bean cake on the table, Gu Ci hesitated for a moment and then walked out of the house with Gu Ye. Xie Sining had just put the poultry into the shed, and when he turned around, he saw the two of them coming out. Gu Ye said: "Didn't I tell you to wash your hands and eat later?"

"Oh." Gu Ye replied, then let go of Gu Ci's hand, and ran to find Zhao Pan to help him wash his hands.

After Gu Ye ran away, Xie Sining ignored Gu Ci, and Gu Ci stood there, opened his mouth and hesitated to speak, and finally saw that she was busy with everything, turned around and left, just treating him as air , and then he spoke.

"I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have gotten so angry that day, and I shouldn't have hit the child." Because of this, Xie Sining hasn't said a word to himself these days. .

Hearing this, Xie Sining stopped in his tracks, but still ignored him. At this moment, he struggled for a long time, and finally said that sentence.

"Can you stop being angry?

The two stood in the yard, and Gu Ci's appeal was clearly seen by the two hiding in the kitchen. Zhao Pan and Gu Ye, one big and one small, secretly poked their heads at the door, staring at this scene. When Gu Ci asked that sentence, both of them looked at Xie Sining expectantly.

"Forgive Daddy..." Gu Ye couldn't help muttering.

Xie Sining finally turned to look at Gu Ci, sighed softly and replied: "Although you are Gu Ye's real father, how do you teach the child? I, an outsider, have no right to interfere, but Ye'er still calls me Mother, I can't ignore him if he has been wronged."

"Since he calls you mother, he is not an outsider." Gu Ci said, and then added in a very serious tone: "In my heart, you are not an outsider, you are Gu Ye's mother, and you are also..."

When it came to it, I didn't continue talking.

Xie Sining realized for a moment what he meant by these words, and when he finally understood, his expression suddenly became a little awkward, and then for some reason, he stuttered a little.

"You...you don't have any other thoughts, I... wait for your eyes to heal, I..."

"I know, when I get better, you will leave." Gu Ci said the following words for her, his face seemed a little disappointed, but he returned to normal after a while, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my eyes That's great, I will give you what you want and Li Shu."

But, not now...

"It's good if you think so." Xie Sining said yes, but there was more than that, but she was a little confused in her heart, and she couldn't explain why.

After explaining these things to Gu Ci clearly, the two of them resumed their usual way of getting along with each other, but what was different from before was that Gu Ci seemed to be more polite to her than before.

It's not that he was rude to her before, but that he felt a little more alienated. This feeling made Xie Sining feel a little uncomfortable. Even Gu Ye felt that when the two of them were in the same place, the atmosphere was a little depressing.

These days when Gu Ye didn't go to the school, it was Gu Ci who taught him how to write. When Xie Sining was around, Gu Ci would write one and teach the other, and when Xie Sining was away, he would teach Gu Ye some poems, and let him Recite the book of war.

Forget about poems and essays, you have to memorize military books, which makes Gu Ye very puzzled.

"Father, I don't have to go to war, so why do I have to memorize the military book?" Gu Ye asked with a puzzled expression as he turned to look at his father behind him while carrying the military book on his back.

"If you are told to recite it, you can recite it." Gu Ci hit Gu Ye on the head with a book and said.

There was no other way, Gu Ye had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to recite the book of war, but the content of the book of war was really difficult to understand, and he didn't know what it meant after memorizing it!

He also mentioned this question to Gu Ci, but Gu Ci said: "You memorize it first, and when you have memorized it and memorized it well, I will explain the meaning to you."

Days passed, and news of the court's tax collection spread quickly to the village, and everyone felt as if the sky was about to fall.

The fat aunt next door burst into tears, "The goddamn emperor increased the tax again by [-]%, even if we hand over all the food we grow, that's not enough!" Adding another [-]% would simply prevent the common people from living.

When Xie Sining passed Aunt Fat's house, she saw Aunt Fat wiping tears, so she walked over and asked: Aunt Fat, what's wrong with you? "

As soon as she saw Xie Sining, the fat aunt quickly wiped away her tears, but the feeling of grievance in her heart still couldn't go away, "Isn't this a tax increase? You also know that there are only me and my family in my family, and I couldn't grow any crops all year round." How much grain, there is not much left after paying the taxes and grains, which is enough for the two of us to live on, but now the taxes and grains have to be increased by [-]%, how do you think this life is going to live."

It’s not just the fat aunt’s family. Once the food tax is increased, many people in the village will not have enough to eat, and some even pay all the food. This year’s harvest is not very good. Years can't pass.

"Aunt Fat, don't worry too much, there will always be a solution." Xie Sining didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to tell her not to worry, but Aunt Fat shook her head and said, "This world is not easy." Don't know what happened."

After talking with the fat aunt, Xie Sining went back, but when she returned home, she heard something screaming in the sky, and when she looked up, there was actually a falcon hovering above in the distant sky.

This kind of bird is mostly seen in open fields, how could it appear here?Xie Sining found it strange, but seeing it linger for a while and then flew away, he didn't pay much attention to it.

In the yard, Gu Ye was playing by himself, Xie Sining went to look into the room, but he didn't see Gu Ci, so he asked, "Ye'er, where is your father?"
