Chapter IX: Mutual Support
"I thought you were talking about something big, but that's what you said?"
Cheng Qingxue smiled, sat on the bed with a relaxed face, and patted the bed: "If you hadn't taken me in, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago." Besides, you're fine here, and no one bothers you about the spaciousness outside. I don't know if you've ever heard of a phrase?"
"What?"
"In this world, only cattle and sheep are in herds, but beasts are alone. Do you want to be a sheep and cattle to be slaughtered, or do you want to be a beast of prey?"
Although Gu Xingshen was unhappy, he had never heard anyone say such things.
As soon as Cheng Qingxue spoke, his eyes suddenly brightened: "Of course I want to be a beast in the mountains." A good man has to go around and create a world. ”
"Okay, waiting for you. ”
Cheng Qingxue patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
The old man standing on the side nodded with satisfaction.
This granddaughter-in-law is the right person.
Cheng Qingxue happened to see the old man's smiling face, and felt very interesting.
He was sent to a place where this kind of bird does not poop, and he can still maintain an optimistic attitude, which shows that he must be a highly cultivated person.
If they have the opportunity in the future, they will definitely be able to turn over.
And this opportunity seems to be not far away.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Xingshen seriously: "If you hold on for a while, you will soon usher in a turnaround." ”
"Well, I believe you. ”
Facing this thin girl, Gu Xingshen instantly felt much more steady.
is obviously a rural girl who has never read any books, but in his eyes, she is a young woman who has read poetry and books, and deserves the respect of others.
By the time it was evening, Gu Xingshen had already figured out a way to convert the cowshed into a simple straw shed.
Take some boards around to block it, and cover it with thick hay on top.
In order to let Cheng Qingxue sleep peacefully, he deliberately put Cheng Qingxue's bed inside. A curtain was drawn outside, leaving her a separate space.
He also gave her his quilt, covered himself with thin clothes, and curled up outside.
Cheng Qingxue listened to the sound of turning over outside, and suddenly felt very stable.
It's just that the conditions are still too simple, and we have to find a way to improve it.
By the next day, she had gotten up early.
In order to let her grandfather have a good rest, she deliberately took a hoe and followed Gu Xingshen to the field to work together to earn work.
But wherever the two of them walked, those uncles and aunts must stop and take a good look at them.
Before they could go far, they couldn't wait to discuss: "Isn't that the big girl of the Cheng family? Did she really follow the kid surnamed Gu? Yesterday, her mother's house was turned upside down by Zhao Laosan, so she won't go home to see?"
"Cut, yesterday she said in front of the big guy that she was going to sue her father. This kind of wolf-hearted thing won't go back and take a look. If you want me to say, if she really has a conscience, she will pack up her baggage and live with that Zhao Laosan. This kind of water-based poplar woman is worthy of being with that kind of man. ”
"Aunt her, your mouth is too poisonous. If you want me to say, her stepmother didn't treat her as a human being. Who is this Zhao Laosan? What is the difference between that and a murderer? If it weren't for her mother to sell her, would she be able to run away with other men?"
"Ergou, what you said is not right. From ancient times to the present, whose daughter is not the father and mother who marry? To put it mildly, even if her mother finds her a madman, she will have to marry her obediently. Even if her mother treats her badly, she grows up eating other people's rice, so she has to listen to others. ”
"It's not on you, you must stand and talk without backache. It's the kid surnamed Gu who got cheaper, and picked up such a beautiful girl for nothing. ”
She originally wanted to tell her own kid about matchmaking, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing. It's really bad.
Gu Xingshen listened to all the discussions of these people, and his face became more and more ugly.
When the others said more ugly things, he couldn't help it, and went up to reason with them.
Cheng Qingxue stopped him painlessly: "What's the use of you bothering with them?
"If it's just me, I'm not going to hear it. But I can't stand those people talking about you like that. ”
"It's okay, I don't take it to heart. ”
Cheng Qingxue bent down and picked a flower and pinned it behind her ear, and looked at him with a smile: "Is it good-looking?"
The delicate face is filled with an innocent smile, which is unforgettable.
Gu Xing blushed, lowered his head and sipped: "It's good-looking." ”
"If you look good, you can look at me a few more times, so that you don't have to vomit with them. ”
Cheng Qingxue pinned another flower to his hair, picked up the hoe and went to the ground, and worked quietly.
Gu Xingshen looked at her back and suddenly felt warm in his heart.
He carefully put the flower away and followed.
When it was time to settle the work in the evening, he and Cheng Qingxue had added up much more work than before, and they had received a lot more food.
On the way home, Cheng Qingxue also dug up a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
Along the way, the two laughed and gossiped. Before I knew it, it was getting dark.
The place where Gu Xingshen lived was relatively remote, and the two walked for a long time before returning home.
"Give me all these things, I'll cook. After Gu Xingshen finished speaking, he naturally wanted to pick up the wild vegetables and mushrooms in Qing Xue's hands.
The night was getting darker, and Gu Xingshen's outstretched hand just touched Cheng Qingxue's hand. He was slightly stunned and hurriedly retracted.
"Comrade Cheng Qingxue, I didn't mean to offend, I just wanted to...... It's just..."Gu Xingshen said for a long time, his cheeks flushed slightly. He was glad that it was already dark, and Cheng Qingxue shouldn't have seen his uneasy look.
Looking at Gu Xingshen's appearance, Cheng Qingxue let out a chuckle. The men of this era are so shy, but she has gained knowledge.
"It's okay, we're already husband and wife, you don't have to mind too much. Come on, you can get all these things. Cheng Qingxue's very relaxed tone made Gu Xing, whose heart was beating faster, breathe a sigh of relief, and his heart was calm.
"Hey, why are you still stunned, quickly take the wild vegetables and mushrooms in, I'm fine when I'm hungry, but it's not good for grandpa to be hungry." Seeing that Gu Xingshen was still stunned, Cheng Qingxue said helplessly.
Hearing the sound, Gu Xingshen reacted. He hurriedly took the wild vegetables and mushrooms in Cheng Qingxue's hand, and hurriedly walked towards the cowshed.
Looking at Gu Xingshen's broad back, an inexplicable emotion slowly rose in Cheng Qingxue's heart. This person was the first person she saw in this era, and she naturally had some sense of dependence.
Although she was forced to register with Gu Xingshen, she didn't know why in her heart, she felt that she was with Gu Xingshen, and her heart was very steady.
