Peasant woman's day

Chapter 101

After Sister Gu woke up, she ate three bowls of rice and drank a big bowl of noodle soup.Old lady Gu wiped her tears with distress: "Girl, what did you suffer outside? Don't worry, don't worry, eat slowly, and mother will make it for you again."

After Mrs. Gu came out, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and ran into her room, crying, "Father, I don't ask you for anything else, don't drive the eldest girl out again. She is a woman , In the past few years, it may be because of some hardships. The child's father, please keep her, and I will strictly discipline her. If you don't keep her, I will go with her. "

Old man Gu took a puff of his cigarette, put the cigarette stick on the table, and said, "It's not your responsibility to raise your children, it's also my responsibility. Over the years, the eldest daughter has become what she is now, and I also have my own responsibility." Responsibility. I just want to tell you one thing. Now that the houses are separated, I just think that I have added a pair of chopsticks to eat, and I don’t care about other things. You guys, don’t stick your chopsticks into other people’s bowls. If you commit the crime again, since you want to go with her, then go." After finishing speaking, Old Man Gu picked up the cigarette again and did not speak again.

Old lady Gu's heart skipped a beat, and in a blink of an eye she thought about what she said carefully, and the old man actually agreed to let the eldest daughter stay.Now this matter is serious, the other sons and daughters are doing much better than the eldest daughter, so she has to make up for the eldest daughter.Kill a chicken and buy some cob bones to make soup for her to drink.By the way, there are soybeans in Furong, go ask her for some.

Naturally, Mrs. Gu would not ask for it in person, but ordered Mrs. Gu to ask for it.She watched coldly. The eldest daughter-in-law had a pretty good relationship with the third daughter-in-law, and it just came in handy now.After hearing this, Mrs. Gu couldn't help being a little embarrassed.Furong was bought to eat after giving birth to a baby, but now Mrs. Gu asks for several catties.Mrs. Gu pondered for a while and said, "Mother, the price of grains and beans hasn't increased much yet, why don't you buy a few catties and bring them back."

"Now that I have it at home, why bother to buy it outside. I don't have this spare money at home, and I have to wait for the price of charcoal to drop to buy charcoal." Mrs. Gu frowned, "I'm not going there yet."

Mrs. Gu had no choice but to go to Furong's place.Seeing that Mrs. Gu was hesitating like this, Fu Rong wondered if she wanted to borrow money, and was thinking about it, when she suddenly heard Mrs. Gu said: "Third siblings, I, you have two catties of soybeans at home, can you borrow them? Give me?"

Mrs. Gu spoke intermittently, her face flushed.Furong understood immediately, and deliberately slowly used the tea lid to poke the tea foam. As long as it is not borrowing money, it will be easy.Fu Rong thought about it in her heart, put down the teacup, and asked knowingly: "But sister-in-law wants to eat? I heard from my mother that this child fell to the ground, and then I will see if I need to eat this according to my own milk supply. When I am pregnant , chicken soup is more nourishing than this stuff.”

"It's not for me to eat." Mrs. Gu quickly waved her hand, "It's mother, she asked me to come and ask my third sibling to borrow some soybeans."

"Is it a loan?" Fu Rong touched the corners of her lips with a handkerchief.

Mrs. Gu hesitated for a while, then shook her head.Seeing this, Furong's expression sank suddenly: "Sister-in-law, if you can't buy this for a while after giving birth, I, a younger brother and sister, should give you some. However, although I ate that, it was only a couple of days ago. It’s been a month, and now Niu Niu has enough milk from me. Besides, it’s not my sister-in-law who asks now, since whoever wants to eat it should be the one who asks. I don’t have any soybeans at home. I usually eat that. They were all sent by my mother.”

After listening to Mrs. Gu, she already had a plan in her heart, so she went back and told Mrs. Gu.After hearing this, Mrs. Gu lost her temper immediately.Gu Boss just cleaned up the vegetable garden, saw his daughter-in-law crying, and chased all the way into the house. After listening to Mrs. Gu's story, Gu Boss said in front of Gu Lao's face during dinner: "Mom! , Don’t you have soybeans at home? Why do you ask your daughter-in-law to ask for it from your in-laws? If the road is cold and slippery today, the daughter-in-law has a baby in her belly, and this is her first child, and she is not in good health.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Gu and Sister Gu.Sister Gu didn't seem to hear, she kept her head down and ate.Mrs. Gu didn't dare to make a sound anymore, and she didn't dare to call Mrs. Gu again, so she just asked Mrs. Gu to get the soybeans.The second sister-in-law Gu heard this, and said loudly through the window: "I have it at home, but I can save the face and go to my in-laws to ask for it. Now I can't get it, so I just know how to order me. As a daughter-in-law, I can't do anything every day." Hun'er can't even see it, winter is here, there is no charcoal for heating, and life is worse than that of other maids."

Old lady Gu was trembling with anger, and she was about to get up to speak immediately.Elder Sister Gu grabbed Mrs. Gu's arm, and the corners of her eyes were a little wet: "Mom, I have been outside for so long, I only want to eat the pancakes and chicken soup you baked, and I don't want to eat soybeans. You didn't drive me out, I am content."

The eyes of Mrs. Gu's eyes turned red instantly, and she put her hand on Sister Gu's face: "My son, you have suffered so much outside to become what you are now. Now that you have your mother protecting you, what do you want to eat?" Just eat whatever you want, don't wrong yourself again."

After hearing this, Sister Gu burst into tears, grabbed Old Lady Gu's waist, and burst into tears.Ever since I passed Yuanyuan's news to Furong and the others, I never dared to go back.But with only a dozen copper coins, where can she go.He quietly hid in a dilapidated temple outside the city, bought a few steamed rice buns, and slept on thatch.There was a rusty pot inside the ruined temple. She washed it for a long time, but it was still usable.After digging some wild vegetables, I managed to make a big pot of vegetable soup. Although it was not salty, she still ate it with relish.However, a group of people came the next day and robbed her of the pot.Sister Gu had no choice but to sneak back to the city again.

After she came back, she didn't go anywhere else, but wandered around Furong's shop.After going around for several days, she finally heard the news that the traffickers had been arrested, but she also heard the news that she was offered a reward for arrest.She didn't dare to stay any longer, so she found a deserted place around the room where the traffickers lived.She didn't even dare to start a fire because she was afraid that someone would watch someone over here.It wasn't until she looked at the portrait in the dark that she didn't look like herself, so she went out secretly. She also found a scarf to cover more than half of her head and face, and went to find some rotten vegetables and leaves every day. eat.

At the coldest time, I fell seriously ill.She had no money to hire a doctor, so she passed out at the door of a medical clinic.Fortunately, the doctor was kind enough to get her some medicine and asked her to help with chores in the backyard to pay for the medicine.Fortunately, there is a place to eat and a place to sleep.Sister Gu did not continue to wander.

The good times didn't last long, but after half a year, the news of the war came, the doctor and his family wanted to go back to their hometown in the south, so he sold the pharmacy and gave her a lot of money.She originally wanted to find Furong and the others, but because of the past, she couldn't lose face.Later, it was discovered that they had moved, asking all the way, and almost used up all the money they had.When she arrived outside the county seat, she hovered outside the city for several days before the soldiers guarding the city let her in.When she found Fu Rong's house, her purse was already empty, she was so hungry that she couldn't bear it, she fell down and hit her head on the door, only then was Gu Qingchen found out.

Today's Sister Gu finally saw her relatives, and finally had a full meal. After going through all this, she only felt that these two things were heaven on earth.As for her own child, she closed her eyes. There is no mother who doesn't love her child. It's just that she probably won't be able to see her now.She threw herself into Old Lady Gu's arms and cried bitterly.

Although Furong avoided coming to see Sister Gu, but the winter solstice is here, the Gu family still wants to have a reunion dinner.Furong had to pass this day no matter what.She didn't go there too early, she still got up early to make breakfast for the family, cleaned the yard, and went there at the right time.As soon as she entered the yard, the second sister-in-law Gu who was feeding the chickens saw her, quickly put down the food bowl, and said loudly on purpose: "Third brother and sister, you haven't been here for a long time. I heard that your mother is not feeling well, how is it now? "

Fu Rong and Sister Gu didn't deal with each other, and they didn't have much to say to Second Sister Gu. They just smiled and said, "Thank you Second Sister-in-law for remembering. My mother is much better now, and my husband said just rest for a while."

After hearing this, Second Aunt Gu couldn't help clapping her hands, and said with a smile, "Look at me, I actually started talking to my third sibling in the yard. It's cold, go inside, it's warmer inside."

Furong led Yuanyuan and walked in with Niuniu in her arms.The kang was only heated in the house, and the charcoal in the brazier was almost exhausted.Mrs. Gu didn't buy charcoal. The weather was getting colder and colder, so she panicked. As a result, she could only buy some ordinary charcoal with the money that could have bought medium charcoal, and the smoke was very heavy.As soon as Fu Rong came in, she smelled a smell of coal.Yuanyuan was not used to the smell, so she sneezed twice in succession, and Mrs. Gu's voice came from the back room: "Everything is charcoal, as long as it can be used for heating. What is the price of charcoal now, is everything going to others? No?"

"You can take it or not. You are not afraid of spoiling my grandchildren, but I am. The second daughter-in-law, take the key and fetch a few catties of charcoal. I will order this for the reunion dinner today." Old Gu said angrily. .
