The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

The two of them were so busy that they had to wait for the next meal.

Gu Liang was just drying herbs at the door, and he heard everything clearly from outside. He naturally felt sorry for Sun Xiaohua. As a modern person, he would never be abused even if his family conditions were difficult.

It was two days later when Gu Liang saw Sun Xiaohua again. Compared with the last time they met, Sun Xiaohua had lost a lot of weight, and her originally thin and flat cheeks were now sunken, but her spirit was much better than last time.

Gu Liang felt a little sympathetic when he saw Sun Xiaohua. The things that happened later when he was locked up in the house were the fuse for his family. Gu Liang wanted to give the remaining pieces of maltose to Sun Xiaohua, but Sun Xiaohua refused resolutely.

Sun Xiaohua said that it was her who caused her aunt to cause trouble to Gu Liang, so how could she have the nerve to ask for candy again.

Gu Liang was worried about her weak body, but Sun Xiaohua told him not to worry. Since living with her grandmother, she no longer had to worry about having no food to eat, and she did much less work than before.

Gu Liang looked at the little girl in front of him. Although she was pale and thin, her eyes no longer had the previous sorrow. Now there was a cluster of light in her black eyes, which had already illuminated her life that was originally in the abyss.

"It's going to be the plum rain season soon, Liang'er, if you don't sell your medicinal materials, they will easily get moldy. Otherwise, let's put them in the attic." Old man Gu looked at the date and reminded his grandson.

"Ah, I didn't expect this to happen, grandpa, wait until we get it exposed again today and then go to the town's medicine store to sell it tomorrow." Gu Liang only knew about the approximate month of the plum rain season because there was no reminder on the mobile phone calendar. He had basically no idea about the plum rain season.

"Okay, I'll go to the village head's house to borrow the ox cart."

The next day, Old Man Gu borrowed the village head's ox cart early. Although it was borrowed, he paid about ten coins. When he returned it, he was given a bundle of straw as food for the ox. This was also because it was not the busy farming season. If it was, the farmer would not easily lend it no matter how much money it cost.

Early in the morning, Old Man Gu cut a bundle of fresh straw and prepared a bucket of swill for the ox. In Old Man Gu's words, the ox is the best treasure of the farmer, and it should be loved like a grandson.

Old Lady Gu was very unhappy about this. She felt that cutting a bundle of straw was enough. How could her own swill feed the ox of others? Swill should be fed to her two precious pigs.

Old Man Gu didn't dare to say anything on the surface, and then turned to complain to Gu Liang: "Your grandmother, a woman, knows nothing. This cow is a treasure everywhere. This swill is salty and cows love to drink it."

Old Lady Gu saw Old Man Gu secretly talking to Gu Liang and immediately yelled: "You are making up stories about me again, aren't you? Gu Liang, don't learn from your grandfather. Good things should go to our family first."

Old Man Gu immediately straightened his posture after hearing this, but the swill was still fed to the cow.

Gu Liang looked at the swill that Old Lady Gu called a good thing, and suddenly felt that some "good things" didn't have to go to his own family first.

After feeding the cows with grass, Gu Liang and his family put the calamus in sacks and loaded them into the car. There were several sacks. Gu Liang's family didn't do business and didn't have a big scale, so he could only estimate that there were two or three hundred kilograms.

After packing up, Gu Liang and Old Man Gu got on the ox cart and set off. This time, in addition to Old Man Gu and Gu Liang, they also brought a "tail-chaser" Gu Dani. Originally, they were only going to go with two people, but Dani woke up early and insisted to go with them. In the end, only three people could go together.

Not long after they walked out, they heard the shout of Old Lady Gu from behind, as loud as a cow: "Old man, remember to bring the sacks back after selling them. They are more than ten cents each. If you don't bring them back, you don't have to come back."

At this time, Old Man Gu had already driven to the entrance of the village. They heard this shout, which also meant that the whole village knew about it. A few old men who got up early to weed in the fields passed by, and they all looked at him meaningfully with a smile on their faces, but at this time, Old Man Gu's face was ashen, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Grandpa, grandma told you to remember to bring the sacks home." Gu Dani was the first to break the damn silence, fearing that her grandfather did not hear her grandmother's instructions.

Old Man Gu continued on his way as if he didn't hear his granddaughter's reminder. Gu Dani didn't know what was wrong with her. She thought her grandfather was hard of hearing and hadn't heard it, so she stood up and yelled beside the old man Gu's ear with a red face, "Grandpa, grandma asked you to take the sack home.

At this time, the old man Gu's face looked even uglier

Gu Liang said, "I heard it!" Gu Liang said, "I heard it!" Gu Liang said, "I heard it!" Gu Liang said, "I heard it!" Gu Dani said, "I laughed to death at Gu Dani's action, and Gu Dani was smug at this time because she thought she had done a good thing. Gu Liang could only touch his sister's head and said earnestly, "Sister, sometimes it's good to be dumb." Gu Liang got off the ox cart halfway through the journey and before reaching the town. Gu Liang asked Gu Liang puzzledly, "Grandpa, why did you get off? It's still far from the town." Gu Liang said to Gu Liang while touching the ox, "Grandpa is afraid that the ox is tired, so he got off for a walk." "Grandpa, let's get off too." Gu Liang decided to get off after hearing this. "Just stay there, you are just kids, what's your weight?" Old Man Gu said, leading the cow without looking back, and continued walking on the dirt road with it.

Gu Liang understood that his grandfather felt sorry for the old ox. Farmers are often naturally full of affection for cows. They are partners, family members, and workers who suffer like themselves.

Since his grandfather borrowed the cow today, he prepared fodder for it in advance for fear that it would be hungry. He spoke softly along the way, and the whip in his hand was just waving in the air, never falling on the cow's back. Even when he was rushing, he only got off halfway because he was afraid that the cow would be tired.

Gu Liang felt that his grandfather had become a different person, never so careful, even his eyes had changed, and he felt only like the cow in his eyes, with envy, heartache, deep and gentle. Maybe he envied that the cow was someone else's, and he felt sorry for the old ox that not only plowed the land but also pulled a cart.

Gu Liang looked at the back of Gu Lao Han, which was consistent with the stereotype of old farmers, heavy and thin.

"Grandpa, did our family raise cows before?" Gu Liang wanted to comfort his grandfather.

When he mentioned this, Gu Lao Han's tone became noticeably lively, and he turned to Gu Liang and said, "Of course, when your grandfather was young, his family also raised cows. That yellow cow grew up with your grandfather. Your grandfather cut grass to feed it every day and never starved it. Its belly was twice as big as this cow! That cow was obedient and had a good temper. It never... "

When Gu Lao Ma talked about cows, she was eloquent and talked endlessly, without listening, which showed how deep her feelings for cows were.

After hearing this, Dani immediately said, "Grandpa, when I grow up and have money, I will definitely buy you a lot of cows to feed you."

Old Man Gu touched his gray beard and looked at his granddaughter and said, "When Dani grows up, she will marry someone else, so you can't buy one for Grandpa." Although Old Man Gu said no, he was actually happy in his heart.

Gu Liang looked at his grandfather's desire to have a cow at home, and he felt bad, so he patted his chest and vowed, "Grandpa, when I have money from selling medicinal herbs, I will definitely buy you a strong calf."

"Okay, okay." Seeing that her grandchildren all had this intention, Old Lady Gu felt warm in her heart, as if she already had a cow at this time.
