Chapter 11: Tighten your belts and get by
She smiled and said: "Grandpa, even if it is a separate household, I am still your granddaughter, I will only have the surname Gu in this life, and I am afraid of the uncle, the eldest aunt and aunt are embarrassed, after all, there is one more mouth to eat." ”
The old man's eyes narrowed, and he understood that leaving a little wolf cub behind, the eldest daughter-in-law would definitely not be happy.
He took a puff of dry tobacco and stared into Gu Jin's eyes: "Wait for your uncle to come back, and the family will discuss it." ”
"Okay, thank you Grandpa. ”
The old man didn't mention the second child, and Gu Jin also understood that he didn't need to inform his adoptive father about this.
She knew since she was a child that she was not a person who cared for her family, and she was not close to her adoptive parents.
In her previous life, she later realized that even if she was not close to her adoptive father, the other party still remembered her as a daughter who called him a father for more than ten years.
It's a pity that in the end, her adoptive father was ruined because of her and ended up with nothing.
Every time he thought back to his previous life, Gu Jin's heart continued to remorse.
She got up and nodded to the old man and left the room.
It was getting dark, and Uncle returned from outside.
The family sits at a small kitchen table, plus a little wolf cub known in the village.
An Mingji was sitting next to Gu Jin, looking very cramped and uneasy, but he didn't know how real it was.
While the family was eating, the old man asked his eldest son Gu Dechang how the crops in the field were growing.
Gu Jin listened to the uncle say a few words implicitly, and then changed the topic stiffly.
The uncle said the news he got in the village: "The supply and marketing cooperatives in the town and county, and the food sellers in the city malls are out of stock, and even the price of meat has risen. ”
Hearing this topic, Chen Hong, Gu Jiajie, and Gu Minmin at the dinner table all stopped eating.
The situation is worse than they thought, and the village had previously said that the state might subsidize it, but now it seems hopeless.
"Alas, the way of the world ......"
The old man sighed, but he didn't say the rest of the words, and everyone understood that the next few months would be boiled.
Gu Jin didn't interject, she reached out and grabbed a chopstick to boil the dried vegetables and sent them to An Mingji's bowl.
Since the child was at the dinner table, he had been drinking the multigrain porridge that was clear and visible, and he didn't touch the dishes on the table at all.
Her action was quickly seen by Chen Hong, she would not express her dissatisfaction with Gu Jin, but glared at An Mingji fiercely.
An Mingji raised his eyes and saw Chen Hong's round eyes, and his body trembled uneasily.
Seeing this, Gu Jin leaned into his ear and whispered to reassure: "Eat quickly, you go back to the house first after eating, I have something to discuss with my grandfather and uncle." ”
Hearing this, An Mingji retracted his gaze, nodded at her obediently, and ate the multigrain bun in his hand as quickly as possible.
After An Mingji put the dishes and chopsticks in his hand on the table, Gu Jin touched his head: "Go back to the house to rest, there is a clean quilt on the bed, if you are sleepy, you will sleep first." ”
"Hmm. ”
Seeing the child's departing back disappear, Gu Jin withdrew his eyes.
Seeing that everyone had eaten almost, the old man coughed lightly, and touched his back and waist.
Take out the cigarette stick pinned to your waist, take out the tobacco from the pouch and refill it, and light it.
The old man spat out cyan smoke from his mouth, glanced at Gu Jin, and spoke to his eldest son.
"Xiaojin wants to adopt a child surnamed An......"
"What?!"
Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Chen Hong blew up directly!
"It's hard enough to feed this big family at home, and I don't know where the next meal will end up after eating!
