Peasant woman's day

Chapter 63

Fu Rong was so angry that she couldn't help it: "That's a fire, it's going to burn people. You child, why are you so disobedient today?"

"Brother Qing can play, why can't I, mother prefers." Yuanyuan pouted.

Fu Rong put down her work and was about to come over to catch Yuanyuan: "If you don't learn well, you will learn these bad things. Is this what mother always taught you?"

Yuanyuan threw herself into Gu Qingchen's arms, and squeezed herself into the gap between his legs: "Father, father, mother hit Yuanyuan."

Gu Qingchen pulled Furong to sit down, then patted Yuanyuan's little butt: "What's that red one?" Gu Qingchen pointed to the fire in the brazier and asked.

Yuanyuan answered honestly, "It's fire."

"Is it hot?" Gu Qingchen stared at Yuanyuan.Yuanyuan lowered her head and nodded.

Gu Qingchen's voice softened a lot: "Then let's put Yuanyuan's hands in the fire, shall we?"

Yuanyuan panicked and hid her hands behind her back, shaking her head desperately: "Yuanyuan's hands are going to hurt, don't let go."

"You all know that your hands are going to hurt. The fire comes from the charcoal you want to play with. If you go to play, won't your hands hurt?" Gu Qingchen said patiently. He makes sense.

Yuanyuan lowered her head and thought for a while, then climbed off Gu Qingchen's lap, walked up to Fu Rong with her little head drooping, and raised her head: "Mother, I was wrong."

After being teased by him, Furong laughed angrily, hugged him in her arms, and kissed him on the cheek: "Mother won't let Yuanyuan play. Let's take Yuanyuan to town tomorrow, okay?"

Yuanyuan immediately became happy, and nodded emphatically at Fu Rong.

On the second day, Furong failed to fulfill her promise to Yuanyuan, because a bad news came.Mrs. Gu's wife's house collapsed.

It was still Song Wen who delivered the letter. When Gu Qingchen and Fu Rong heard the news, they hurried over without even having time to change their clothes.

There was already a circle of people around the house of Mrs. Gu's natal Ding's family. Seeing Fu Rong and the others coming over, they also knew that Fu Rong and Ding's family were now in-laws, so they stepped out of the way.Fu Rong was stunned. The whole house, except for the outermost gate, was still crumbling, and the houses inside were all collapsed.

Chun Juan'er also squeezed into the crowd to watch the fun, and when she saw Fu Rong coming, she squeezed up affectionately, with an exaggerated expression on her face: "Rong girl, you really scared me to death. It wasn't dawn this morning, There was a bang. We ran out, which is what we are now."

Gu Qingchen gave Chun Juan'er a dissatisfied look, and walked up with a shovel.Big Brother Liu was going up too, Chun Juan'er hurriedly called him, but Big Liu ignored her and started helping Gu Qingchen to save people.

"Sin, the whole family is inside." "I don't know if there are any survivors, but I haven't heard a single sound for so long." "Yes, there is a three-month-old child in their family." People's words kept coming into Furong's ears.Why does she still feel so cold even though she has already worn several padded jackets?
Every time Gu Qingchen and the others shoveled, they would ask if there was anyone, but no one answered.When the earth bricks were dug, the movements of both of them slowed down, and they simply dropped the things in their hands and picked them up with their hands.There were also some strong young men who stepped forward to help, and they were more powerful than others.

"There is someone's hand!" Someone shouted, and everyone present subconsciously surrounded him.Furong was originally standing in the middle of the crowd, but when everyone squeezed her in like this, she immediately staggered forward.Her eyes saw a bloody hand through the gap between people, and she immediately felt an indescribable feeling rushing straight into her throat.She couldn't help pushing away the people next to her, squatting alone by the edge of the field, and felt that the nausea was much better after being blown by the cold wind.

Chun Juan'er naturally didn't dare to join in the excitement, seeing Fu Rong like this, she hurried over to support her.Fu Rong waved her hand: "I'm fine, I just caught a cold yesterday and I was a little dizzy, I'll be fine by myself."

Just as he was talking, he saw Song Wen rushing over in a carriage.Before the car came to a complete stop, the curtains of the car were thrown aside. Mrs. Gu was still wearing homely old clothes, and regardless of how high the carriage was, she jumped down and ran towards her house, crying Said: "Father, mother, brother!"

All the people present turned their heads one after another, seeing that it was the three daughters of the Ding family who had returned, they hurriedly tried to move aside, but they still couldn't dodge, and were pushed down by Mrs. Gu several times.Everyone knew Mrs. Gu's mood and didn't say anything.

The first person that Gu Qingchen and the others dug up just now has been carried out.The blood on his forehead had already solidified, and his chest was blurry, but it was the old man of the Ding family.Mrs. Gu's legs softened, and she immediately knelt down: "Father, dad, wake up."

Gu Qingchen pulled his hand to feel his pulse, but the ice and snow had already froze him.Gu Qingchen felt his pulse, shook his head, stood up, and continued digging.

Furong stood up slowly, listening to the crying behind her, her heart trembled one after another.At that time, what kind of mood did I come back with? Mrs. Gu came back with a heart full of pain.Is this family still alive?But who is left?
"Found another one! It seems to be the boss of the Ding family!" Da Liu shouted again.Mrs. Gu stood up all of a sudden, before wiping away her tears: "There is a voice, I heard a voice!"

Gu Qingchen also stopped what he was doing, and listened carefully, there was indeed a sound!Everyone stopped their progress and concentrated on Liu's side.Mrs. Gu wiped her face a few times indiscriminately, her eyes fixed on that place.

A beam was lifted up, exposing the man's strong back, but the clothes had already been stained with bright red.Everyone's movements slowed down.The broken bricks and soil were dug away bit by bit, and the sound inside gradually became louder, but it was the cry of a child.

Mrs. Gu's heart was in her throat, tears fell down unconsciously, and she clasped her hands in front of her chest.

"Persevere! It will be ready soon!" Da Liu lifted another beam with his shoulders, and two strong men lifted the man on top, revealing a young woman and a child in her arms who were crying .

"Sister-in-law!" Sister-in-law Gu rushed up immediately.When Mrs. Ding saw her, her lips trembled several times, and finally she cried out, "Third sister!"

The others continued to save, while Gu Qingchen felt the pulse of the two mothers and sons.The child was not injured at all, but was frozen.Fu Rong had already recovered, wrapped the child in a blanket, and handed it to Mrs. Lin to carry her back to her home temporarily.Mrs. Ding's feet and hands were injured, but the bones were cracked, not serious.Gu Qingchen asked Furong to help her go back, but Mrs. Ding refused, and threw herself in front of Mrs. Ding, crying non-stop.

When Old Man Ding and Youngest Ding were dug out, they were already out of breath.The same is true of Boss Ding.The second sister Ding got married, and the fourth sister Ding was still a little angry when she was dug out. When she saw Mrs. Gu, she moved her mouth a few times and passed out.Mrs. Ding's waist was hit by a large stone, and she passed out.Second Sister Ding hurried back, Fourth Sister Ding woke up, called her two sisters and sister-in-law, closed her eyes and never opened them again.

The Ding family no longer has a house, and Mrs. Ding's natal family is on the other side of the mountain. Father Ding has only one elder brother who is lame. He even has problems with his own food and clothing. How can he live in a crumbling thatched cottage? Take them in.

Mrs. Gu first looked at Aunt Liu.Aunt Liu is Father Ding's cousin, a close relative of their family.Aunt Gu wiped her tears and walked up to Aunt Liu. Before she could speak, Chun Juaner hurried over: "Mother, Uncle and the others are here."

"Hua'er, I'm also very sad when something like this happened. Why did my cousins ​​go away at such a young age, and leave you behind, what will they do in the future?" Aunt Liu said, picking up a handkerchief She burst into tears, and she cried more sadly than Mrs. Gu and the others, "Fortunately, there is still a seedling left, so the incense will not be broken."

"Mother." Chun Juan'er called out softly, "Uncle and the others just arrived after a day and night's journey."

Aunt Liu gave her a sideways glance: "Understood, am I here with Hua'er?"

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu had no choice but to say softly, "Aunt Biao, you have something to do at home, so go and do it first."

Da Liu's complexion was very bad, and he tried to speak several times but couldn't find a chance.After Mrs. Gu said this, Da Liu Qiqi Aiai said: "Mother, isn't the old house behind our house still vacant, why not let my cousin live there."

"You're a no-brainer, that room is similar to the Ding family's previous one. Cousin has already gone, so why are you so tired that your cousin and the others follow?" Aunt Liu poked Big Liu's with her fingertips. head.After finishing speaking, Aunt Liu turned her head, patted Aunt Gu's hand, and said apologetically, "Then I'll go home first. If there is anything missing, please tell me, don't hold it in your heart. Our family People don't speak two dialects."

Gu Qingchen took old lady Gu's pulse, and his face became more and more solemn: "I need to find a place quickly, or I'll freeze to death."

In the end, all members of Ding's family lived in the old house left by Guo's parents.Mrs. Lin came to clean every now and then, and the house was fairly clean.Guo Dali helped pick firewood for the kang, and made several braziers.Mrs. Gu took Fu Rong's hand and choked up sobbing again and again.Fu Rong just comforted her a few words, and said: "Let's go get hot water, this wound needs to be cleaned up quickly."
