Peasant woman's day

Chapter 88

The little girl's voice sounded: "Hmph, this candy is not for me. I don't want yours. I won't play with you. I will play with my second sister."

Sister Gu stumbled and almost fell.That year, the family had no money, and my father was not at home during the Chinese New Year.Mother used the last little money to buy a little bit of fat meat, but first distributed it to several younger brothers.She looked at the white-bellied fat rolling in the pot and swallowed her saliva. Seeing that the last piece of meat was being divided, she bit her lip and silently munched on the rough pastry in her hand.

When she was sleeping at night, she was pulled aside by Gu Qingchen.Gu Qingchen carefully took out a rough pastry from his arms, and handed it to her.At a glance, she saw the two pieces of fat sandwiched in the cracked rough bread.She looked at Gu Qingchen in surprise, but Gu Qingchen looked at her expectantly: "Sister eats meat."

The voices of the officials on the street gradually faded away, and Sister Gu stood alone at the corner of the alley, standing quietly for a long time, then wiped away the tears on her face, picked up the basket, and continued walking to the market go.

Yuanyuan has never been found, Gu Qingchen almost ran all over the city, and no one has seen Yuanyuan.As the sun gradually rose, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked around, feeling only in a daze.

Perhaps, Yuanyuan has already gone back.The thought suddenly flashed through his mind.Gu Qingchen walked home immediately.

He knocked on the door vigorously, and Mrs. Lin rushed out.As soon as he saw Lin's expression, he knew that Yuanyuan must not have come back.He turned around and rushed outside, his heart was in a mess: Yuanyuan, where are you?
Not long after Gu Qingchen ran out of the store, a voice came from behind him: "Boss Gu, Boss Gu." Gu Qingchen turned his head and saw Uncle Zhu on the street running over with his child in his arms.Running in front of him, Uncle Zhu wiped off his sweat, and said intermittently: "Just now when my baby came back, he was holding this note in his hand, saying that he was given it by himself, and asked to give it to the owner of the pastry shop."

Gu Qingchen took it over and saw that there was nothing on it, and wrote an address neatly with a pen.Immediately, his eyes lit up, he ran away, and turned around and shouted: "Brother Zhu, thank you."

At the same time, Young Master Fan was standing in front of Mrs. Shu, gave her a cold look, and told the servant: "If she doesn't say anything, send her to the official. I'd like to see. Long, is the mouth still so hard?"

Although buying and selling maids is something that big families acquiesce to, but buying and selling people cannot be put on the table after all.The Fan family has a big business, if they really send themselves to the officials, there are plenty of ways to punish themselves.Mrs. Shu's legs softened, she knelt down with a thud, and said quickly, "Young Master Fan, I'll tell you, I'll tell you all. It's that old Wang. All my people come from him."

"Hurry up and lead the way!" Young Master Fan shouted, his face full of impatience.

Mrs. Shu's legs are so weak that she can't even stand up.Young Master Fan frowned: "Carry her." So, the two young men supported Mrs. Shu, let her lead the way, and went there.

Gu Qingchen grabbed two officials and went there.When I arrived at the place where I wrote it, it turned out to be one of the abandoned houses in the south of the city.Gu Qingchen went up to knock on the door, but there was no movement inside.

Gu Qingchen turned his head and winked at the two officials, and one of them slammed into the door.But Gu Qingchen was afraid that there would be a back door, so he surrounded the fence and ran back quickly.

He just ran to the other side of the house when he happened to see a young man coming out of the house with a child in his arms and handing it to the carriage.The person on the carriage saw Gu Qingchen at a glance, and immediately said: "Go!"

"Where are you going?" Gu Qingchen said loudly, rushed up, raised a wooden stick that he picked up on the road just now, and knocked on it.

The man in the carriage took the child quickly, and the young man stepped aside.Gu Qingchen's goal was not him, so he climbed into the car.

Seeing that Gu Qingchen's back was exposed, the young man quickly fitted himself up and rushed forward.Gu Qingchen only felt that someone was strangling his neck, and the wooden stick in his hand turned around and swept away, but that person was still tightly wrapped around his neck and would not let go.

Gu Qingchen could only feel that his breathing was becoming more and more difficult, and he stepped on it with all his strength.The young man felt the pain, and his hands immediately relaxed.When Gu Qingchen turned around, he hit him with a stick.The young man grunted and fell down.

"Hiss!" After Gu Qingchen finished solving this problem, the neighing sound of a horse came from behind him.As soon as he turned his head, the man in the carriage shook the reins, and the horse rushed towards Gu Qingchen.Gu Qingchen leaned to the side, saw the timing and jumped up, holding the rear of the carriage firmly with both hands.

Gu Qingchen's feet were still dragging on the ground, but his hands never let go.He was about to climb up, when the carriage suddenly shook violently, he only felt his body being thrown, and then, the carriage wobbled to a stop.

Ignoring the pain from his hands and feet, he let go of his hands and ran over, stunned.The person standing in front of the carriage was obviously Mr. Rui.

The people in the carriage didn't even want their children, and as soon as they got off the carriage, they rushed towards Gu Qingchen.Gu Qingchen wanted to stop him, but when he glanced away, he found something shining silver in his hand, and quickly turned to the side.The man ran a few steps and stopped again.The one who stopped ahead was actually Young Master Fan.

The man wanted to break out, but just as he ran forward, Gu Qingchen jumped up and hit the man on the back of the head with his elbow.The man's body fell limply.The servants of the Fan family rushed forward and cut the man's hands behind his back.

Gu Qingchen got up, turned around, and saw that Mr. Rui's entourage had already got off the carriage, holding a child in his arms.When Gu Qingchen saw the familiar sapphire blue clothes, he couldn't help but took two steps forward, it wasn't Yuanyuan but who it was.

He hurriedly took Yuanyuan's pulse, the pulse was stable, she must have fallen asleep, probably someone took medicine.Gu Qingchen raised his head, thanked Mr. Rui hastily, picked up Yuanyuan and rushed home.

Fu Rong heard the movement outside, immediately stood up, and rushed to the door in three steps at a time.When her eyes touched Yuanyuan in Gu Qingchen's arms, she finally cried out, hugged Yuanyuan, and touched his little face: "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you? Wake up, Talk to your mother."

"Furong. Yuanyuan must have been drugged. Let him lie down first." Gu Qingchen said to Furong.Fu Rong turned sideways to get out of the way, and followed Gu Qingchen to the bedside.

Gu Qingchen took off all of Yuanyuan's clothes, and carefully checked him for any injuries.Fu Rong's eyes fell on Gu Qingchen's hand, and she grabbed his hand: "Are you injured?"

"It's okay, I just got scratched, just apply some medicine later." Gu Qingchen rolled his round eyelids, seeing that everything was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to Lin: "Mother, You look at him first, if you don't wake up in another quarter of an hour, wipe his face with cold water. I went out to find my godfather and the others, they don't even know Yuanyuan is back."

When Gu Qingchen led Master Song and the others in, Yuanyuan was already sitting in Furong's arms, and Mrs. Lin was feeding him.Old lady Gu saw Yuanyuan, rushed up, wanted to touch him with trembling hands, looked at Fu Rong, and put down her hands again.Mrs. Song didn't have as many worries as her, she stepped forward and touched Yuanyuan's little face: "Yuanyuan."

"Grandma, grandpa, mother-in-law, father, congratulations to mother-in-law." Yuanyuan called out one by one, and stretched out her hand towards Gu Qingchen, "Daddy, Yuanyuan misses you so much."

Gu Qingchen felt his eyes heat up, and squatted down in front of the bed, holding Yuanyuan in his arms.He buried his head in the socket of his round neck, only to feel two lines of hot liquid pouring out of his eyes.The familiar scent of milk, Yuanyuan, his hands stroked Yuanyuan's little head, finally settled down.

Everyone in the room was weeping.After a while, everyone got better.Aunt He wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Boss Gu, Madam, I'm going to buy vegetables." The eyes of the people in the room were still on Yuanyuan, and Fu Rong smiled gratefully at Aunt He.

During dinner, Yuanyuan also went to the table and sat in an armchair by herself.He picked up a chicken leg and took a bite. Seeing that no one was moving, he quietly glanced at everyone, put the chicken leg down, knelt on the chair with both legs, approached Fu Rong, and whispered: "Mother, is everyone here?" Want to eat chicken legs?"

After Fu Rong heard this, the stone in her heart fell to the ground.She reached out and picked up the chicken leg, put it back into his hand, and touched his head with the other hand: "Eat it. Everyone thinks that a round mouth is a good boy."

Yuanyuan happily picked up the chicken leg and gnawed on it.Seeing that Yuanyuan ate deliciously, everyone felt that after running for a day, their stomachs were empty, so they all picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

At night, Furong held Yuanyuan in her arms and never let go.Gu Qingchen took out the footwashing water and poured it out. When he came back, he saw that Furong was still hugging the sleeping Yuanyuan, and knew that she was afraid, so he didn't say anything.

"I won't put him on the crib today, but just sleep with us, okay?" Fu Rong raised her head suddenly and said.

Gu Qingchen moved the lamp to the head of the bed, took off his shoes and socks, nodded, and took Yuanyuan over first. After Furong fell asleep, he put Yuanyuan between the two of them.Furong immediately grabbed Yuanyuan's little hand and kissed her own mouth again and again.Gu Qingchen pulled the quilt over to cover his wife and children, and then lay down.
