Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 3
Li Dequan's family had to squeeze into the woodshed.

Gu Yu wrinkled her little nose, opened the room, and there was a musty smell. There were several bundles of firewood and straw piled up. Even though the light was so weak, Gu Yu also saw a large stretch of spider webs. Straw and firewood sticks.

Li Dequan's face turned dry, "You guys stand at the door for a while, I'll clean up." After speaking, he quickly swept the things on the mud floor, untied a few bundles of straw, and spread them on the ground in a thick layer, Gu Yu Mother took out a piece of cloth from the package she carried with her, spread it on it, and then called them in.

After a while, Li Dequan came over with another quilt, although it was hard, but fortunately it was still a quilt, so Gu Yu Jingzhe and the others slept together.

Jing Zhe hesitated for a while, but still sat on the ground, until Li Dequan urged him again and again, he took off the padded jacket and lay down, said with a smile: "This quilt is too small, just let Xiao Man and Gu Yu cover it, I will sleep next to this brazier, Just cover it with your own padded jacket, the straw is also soft."

Gu Yu looked at the pot of charcoal fire and was a little scared. If he got carbon monoxide poisoning or something, he would die, but he looked up at the roof of the thatched house. Under the messy spider webs, there was a rammed earth wall, which could still be ventilated. I settled down for a while, the straw was soft but soft, but it was a bit irritating, the musty and earthy smell of sitting on the ground mixed with the smell of the firewood, and it rushed straight into the nostrils, something rustled in the firewood pile rustling sound.

She couldn't comfort the distressed parents, so she could only smile sweetly: "Brother is right, this bed is much softer than the one at our house, so parents, where do you sleep?"

Li Dequan came over and patted Gu Yu's head, "Gu Yu, you're just fine, sleep well, your parents have a place to sleep, don't worry, just go and get a quilt later."

As soon as the words fell, there was a harsh scolding voice: "You are turning your elbows out, you take this quilt over there, your two boys will freeze to death when they come back! You can take care of the family! Is it? I have really suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck..."

It must be the eldest aunt, Gu Yu tucked into the quilt, Xiaoman thought she was cold, so she tucked the quilt in, "Don't be afraid of Gu Yu, sleep well."

How could Xiaoman think of Gu Yu's mood at this time, the same family is so different, the grandfather is dull and can't talk at all, the grandmother is pretending and mean, the eldest uncle is weak and afraid of the eldest aunt, the eldest aunt is fierce, and there is that delicate little Liqiu. Several people are making such a fuss. I heard that there is the second uncle's family, fourth uncle and aunt. If all the relatives in the house come back, they will not go to sleep with their parents.

Luckily, all the brothers, sisters, and parents are good. Gu Yu thought about it, her little body was really sleepy, her eyelids became heavier, and she finally fell asleep.

When she woke up again, something floated down from the top of the thatch and landed on Gu Yu's face. Listen up.

Li Dequan's words were full of apology, "Mother, my body has been in this body for so many months. It's hard for you to come back with me. There is no place to stay. It is really hard for you."

Mrs. Wang sighed faintly, "There are no bumps and bumps in this life. I just wronged the child. As you can see, none of the lamps in this room are fuel-efficient. I am really afraid how I will live in the future."

After a pause for a moment, Li Dequan's voice sounded again: "Hey, it's fate, or you can go back first, mother, and I will take the child..."

"Stop talking about that bastard, what I valued back then was not that you were honest and reliable. This family will be together, and it will be the same wherever you go. When Jingzhe left at such a young age, I didn't dare to come back after so many years. , but you don't think we don't have a son."

Gu Yu was stunned, this Jing Zhe left without a son?Who is the person lying next to him now?

Li Dequan's voice was a little deep: "Mother, we have hands, feet and crafts, and we will surely live a good life in the future. We lived in peace and stability, but we didn't expect this to happen. It's just that Lord Su is a good official. We Ordinary people don't know so many things in the officialdom, but we have lived a peaceful life during the years Mr. Su has been in office. It's not like those officials in the past. I wish I could scrape a few taels of oil from the land. I'll go home and do some work They are all kind and kind, and even learned a few things from me..."

Mrs. Wang said again: "I don't blame you, this child is suffering too, let's treat him as Jingzhe, you see he doesn't cry or fuss like a normal person, I just don't want to trouble us when I look at him I'm worried about this kid's silence, if someone didn't come to ask, we wouldn't have suffered him outside, and the village might humiliate him, but how can we live up to the entrustment of adults."

There was another long silence.Gu Yu is even more surprised, so this Jingzhe is not that Jingzhe, or the son of some high-ranking official?Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for each other. I was lonely and had nowhere to rely on when I traveled here. Fortunately, I met this kind family, but for some reason, he had no choice but to become his elder brother. The encounter is not too bad.She wanted to see what Jing Zhe looked like now, but she was afraid of disturbing her parents, so she had to give up.

Gu Yu felt a little sour in her heart, no wonder she had done a good job and wanted to come back to settle down. It turned out that it was because of her brother, not to mention that she was not her own child, and she was embarrassed by her family when she came back. Gu Yu felt sorry for them, her nose was sore, Dare to cry out loud, retracted into the quilt and tried to remain as still as possible.

Slowly and then quietly stretched out his head.

"Mother, you need to take good care of your body. You have suffered because you have not been pregnant for so many years. I have made up my mind. I will go out to find a house at dawn, and then I will have a place to stay. The second brother is a If you have an idea, let's discuss how to live after he comes back. I have this craft of making furniture. When the child is born a bit older, you can pick up the craft of embroidery. Xiaoman can also be useful. Gu Yu's small body can be raised It's not a big problem, it's just Jingzhe."

Mrs. Wang smiled softly: "Yes, life can still go on. Jingzhe, I think, this kid can't humiliate him. When we settle down better, we can find a private school for him to continue studying."

Li Dequan was a little excited, "I want to go with me, I was afraid that you would disagree."

The voice became quieter, and Gu Yu stared at the spider web with bright eyes, feeling that the firewood, these spider webs, and the charcoal fire made her heart warm. He leaned back and closed his eyes, feeling extremely relieved.

On the other side, Jing Zhe, who was covered with a padded jacket, was biting her lips and tears were also flashing.
