"Gu Anlan, you take your younger siblings in to boil some hot water to fill your stomach first, and I'll go out. ”

Gu Anlan took the hands of her younger siblings and said, "Sister, you go early and come back early." ”

Gu Anran nodded, turned around and walked towards the village.

Although Peach Blossom Village is located in a remote area, the surrounding mountains and rivers become a scene of their own, the four seasons are distinct all year round, and now the beginning of spring has just passed, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and it is also the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies.

It was dusk, the smoke was curling, and the families were cooking dinner.

Gu Anran walked to the iron gate of the two stone lions at the door of a house and stopped.

Watching the smoke come out of it, she gritted her teeth, knocked on the door, and gently pushed open the closed door and walked in.

"Gu Anran, why are you here?"

"Auntie, my younger brothers and sisters haven't eaten for a few days, so I'll come over and borrow some rice. ”

Qin Mulian was holding a basin of swill in her hand, and without saying a word, she fell towards Gu Anran's feet.

"Gu Anran, you also know that when your two cousins were growing up, they ate a lot now, and this year's harvest is not good, so we don't have extra food for you. You go to your second uncle's house and ask. ”

"Who. Gu Jinbao said and walked out of the back room with a dry tobacco bag.

looked at Gu Anran and said: "Gu Anran, your parents are the first seven today, why did you run out." ”

Gu Anran took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile: "Uncle, I want to borrow some rice noodles." My brother and sister ....... ”

"You wait. ”

Gu Jinbao didn't wait for Gu Anran to finish speaking, and was ready to go in to get food.

Qin Mulian was not happy.

"Gu Jinbao, you dead donkey, your family is poor and has nothing to eat, if it weren't for my mother's help, you would have been able to live such a good life——。! ”

Gu Jinbao hurriedly ran over and grabbed his daughter-in-law's hand and dragged it in.

"After all, I'm her uncle, and I don't blame Gu Anran for this, I'll just give her the buckwheat gnocchi buns that are moldy at home and ready to feed the pigs. Anyway, it's my niece. Can't let starve to death. ”

"That's not good, there is not enough bran to feed the pigs this year, if you want to give it, you can give two, there is no more!" Qin Mulian snorted coldly.

"Good, good. "Gu Jinbao is also a strict wife, plus she gave birth to two baby sons, and her mother's family is rich, so she is not decent in Peach Blossom Village.

Gu Jinbao went to the bag of pig feed and took out two black steamed buns, and handed them to Gu Anran.

"Gu Anran, that's all the uncle can eat, you take it and fill their stomachs with a few first. ”

Gu Anran looked down at the steamed bun in his hand, and his heart was cold to the bottom.

Just as he was about to start replying, he saw his cousin Gu Gang come out with a piece of pork and shout, "Cousin, come and eat meat!"

Qin Mulian, who had just come out of the back room, saw that she rushed over all of a sudden, grabbed his arm and pulled him in and scolded: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, and you don't look at who is coming, and you go out to swagger!"

Gu Anran smiled bitterly, and said to Gu Jinbao with sparkling eyes, "Uncle, no need." ”

After saying that, turn around and leave.

When I went out, I heard the aunt scolding and shouting at Gu Jinbao: "Hurry up and take the steamed bun and feed it to the pigs, the pigs can still be sold for money when they are fattened, what can they earn? ”

Gu Jinbao looked at the hidden door outside and sighed.

Gu Anran was stunned, his heart was not good, and he walked towards the second uncle's house.

The second uncle was not far from the uncle's house, and he walked there in a few minutes.

Gu Anran looked at the wooden door of the second uncle's house, and stood at the door and hesitated.
