270. Divorce
Shi Gui was lying on the bed, covered with a warm quilt, his eyes were looking at the window, the lights in the west chamber had just dimmed, I don't know what Qiu Niang was talking to Xizi, was Qiu Niang crying again?
Xizi recognized Qiu Niang much faster than Shi Gui, Qiu Niang hugged her son, how could she not let go, Xizi was strange at first, and then recognized her, hugged Qiu Niang's neck, when she was six years old, she came out of the village, where did she know that there would be so many twists and turns.
Seeing that the green calyx didn't know how many tears to lose, Qiu Niang reached out and pulled Shi Gui, hugged a pair of children in her arms, rubbed Xizi's head with her hand, and told him that he would never be separated in the future.
Xizi Wu couldn't bear to cry, where could he bear it, his mother and sister were by his side, so he was relieved to cry, Mrs. Liu brought hot water in, and she cried when she saw it, and she also accompanied her tears: "Poor one, Ming'er hurried to worship the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva is watching." ”
Mingyue stood for a while, Shi Gui had no time to take care of him, Qiu Niang hugged Xizi again and refused to let go, afraid that she would not go back to the camp with him, Mingyue took out the meat patty on her body and handed it to Xizi, wrapped it in several layers of oil paper, and the clothes on his body were made for him by Shi Gui, and he was reluctant to get dirty.
The three of them hugged each other, where could they still take care of him, or Ye Wenxin sent him out, smiled at him, Mingyue thought for a while and asked her, "Has she made up her mind to go to Suizhou?"
Whether she is getting together with her parents or not, is she going to Suizhou, Mingyue didn't have a certain idea, Ye Wenxin looked at him, his face looked a little dull under the moonlight, she nodded: "She wants to go." ”
Mingyue responded to the sound, went out and stepped on her shadow to go back to the barracks, only then did she feel hungry, she had always been hungry every day, and her stomach hurt when she was hungry in the middle of the night, so she bought a meatloaf and put it aside for supper, and she just gave it all to Xizi, and she didn't keep any of them, and she had to wake up hungry tonight.
Mingyue hugged his arms, feeling a little sentimental, today is a full moon night, the moonlight is excellent, paved with a clear light, he thought about Shi Gui in his heart, he couldn't laugh sullenly, he ran for a while, and arrived at the gate of the camp in an instant, he took leave when he came out, and the people guarding the camp let him in, and asked him: "What about your eldest son?"
Mingyue didn't pay attention to it, and fell asleep when she entered the barracks, covering her face with a quilt, the bed was narrow and small, and she never felt that it was enough to sleep, and there was a Xizi who slept at his feet, and she couldn't even stretch her legs, so it was easy to straighten, and she felt that the bed board was too big.
I couldn't fall asleep as if I was flipping through the cakes, and the people in the same room with him looked at him with a calm face, and didn't dare to ask him what happened, but when he didn't please Wu Qianhu, he persuaded him twice: "Lord Wu has so many things, not to mention that your matter is really difficult, run a few more times, and maybe you can adjust it in the future." ”
Mingyue's own business has not been done, and there is also this reason for feeling bored in my heart, if it is done, it will be happy today, everyone can always want to see each other again in Suizhou, but it didn't work out, can he still be a deserter, and the future will be on the other side.
Shi Gui also can't sleep, she found her younger brother and found her mother, and she will be able to be a family together in the future, but she doesn't want to leave Ye Wenxin, it has been fifteen years since she came to this world, and fifteen years have passed, and she just has a way to do what she wants to do.
She opened her eyes and couldn't sleep, Ye Wenxin touched her gently: "Have you ever thought about what you are going to do when you go to Suizhou?" Shi Gui didn't answer for a while,
She didn't know what she was going to do, what she was thinking about was how to make a living, how not to go hungry, so she took Qiu Niang Xizi to settle down first, and wanted to go to Suizhou just because it was more civilized and it was easier for women to survive.
Ye Wenxin knew that she was still confused, and he didn't urge her: "In my opinion, you don't have to settle down now, when you get to the place, maybe you will have something you want to do." ”
Shi Gui pursed her lips and smiled, it was really useless to worry at this time, and when she arrived in Suizhou, she knew what she could do and what she couldn't do, she laughed when she thought about it, raised her eyes and looked at the window of the west chamber, and fell asleep after a while.
When I got up the next day, Lu Cao and Qiu Niang had already woken up, the two were used to getting up early, the wonton stall came out early, and when it was late, I couldn't catch up with the first batch of people who went to work, although I didn't set up a stall, but I was so worried that I was afraid of causing trouble for Shi Gui, so I got up early to do work, burned the stove and boiled the water, and when Mrs. Liu got up, the meals were already prepared.
If there is a stone mill, Qiu Niang still wants to grind some soy milk, Xizi also got up, played a set of punches in the courtyard, sat on the stone steps after the fight, and looked at Shi Gui and leaned in front of her: "Sister, I want to go back to the camp." ”
He is reluctant to Mingyue, he lives the most stable days in the barracks, what he does every day is fixed, and when the time comes, he will strike the gong, and as soon as the gong sounds, he will perform exercises, and eating is eating, so he is not comfortable being idle.
Shi Gui touched his head: "Don't worry, wait for me to discuss with my mother." Shi Gui has always relied on him, and when he first recognized his sister, Xizi wanted to go back to the camp, so she agreed, and she could naturally agree to him at this time.
Xizi ate two cakes and a bowl of porridge, drank so hot that her stomach was hot, and the green calyx started to needlework, so Qiu Niang pulled Shi Gui to the house and asked her about redeeming herself: "When my mother packs up, I will go to Song's house, how much is it worth, let's ask the number." ”
A big flood washed away all the things at home, Qiu Niang also asked Chen Niangzi many times, knowing that a girl like Shi Gui, if she was rough, she would be redeemed for eighty or twenty taels, but she had been on an errand in Ye's courtyard early, and if she climbed fast, she couldn't buy thirty or fifty taels.
Shi Gui put his hand on her arm to comfort her: "Mrs. gave me to the girl before she died, and the girl was ready to let me go, so the mother next to me doesn't need to ask." ”
As soon as Qiu Niang saw Shi Gui's appearance, she knew that she had not suffered any friction in the Song family, knew that the Ye family was gone, and recited the Buddha twice for her, saying that she must be a kind-hearted person, Shi Gui smiled, according to Shi Ju's two days, two days have already arrived, I am afraid that I will come today.
Qiu Niang knew that her son wanted to go back to the barracks, so she sighed: "Tell him to go, just come back at night." While talking, he looked at his daughter's face, and wanted to ask about Mingyue, but the mother and daughter only recognized each other, and some things were not easy to say.
Xizi screamed and went out, Qiu Niang called him back again, wrapped the cake and gave it to him: "You bring this to Engong." Shi Gui laughed: "Mother, his surname is Wu, his name is Wu Qianli, you always call him Engong, he doesn't dare to come." ”
Xizi hugged the cake and went out, ran away with a smoke, and didn't come back at noon, Qiu Niang Lucalyx was diligent with both hands and feet, made a table of dishes, knew that Ye Wenxin was filial piety, and made five or six vegetarian soups for her, and Mrs. Liu rubbed her hands: "The good soup made by the lady." ”
Shi Gui put the vegetables in a clay pot and prepared to send them to Mingyue Xizi, the sauce made by Qiu Niang roasted meat, lying on the rice, the soup was all soaked in the rice, and the bowl could still smell the fragrance.
She went to the camp, and saw Xizi hanging on Mingyue from afar, but she didn't smile so freely at home, Mingyue saw her, the smile on her face fell, she didn't expect Shi Gui to bring her food, next to the fence, grinning at Shi Gui: "You're here." ”
I didn't have a soft mouth when I ate it, I shook the rice with the broth, and I ate two large bowls, and I didn't dare to ask her what she was going to do.
Shi Gui didn't know how to bring it up, how to return the silver lock to him, it was his favor, Mingyue has always been a strong person, and he refused to show weakness when he was idle, he was like this since he was a child, but he couldn't hurt his heart because he had such good intentions.
The two were silent and didn't speak, Xizi didn't speak, Shi Gui took the bowl and looked at his younger brother: "You will come back when the sun goes down, and my mother made you bean skin buns." ”
Mingyue drooped her head, after Shi Gui said this, he couldn't raise his head, Shi Gui couldn't bear to look at him, seeing him leaning on the fence, looking at it with his eyes, such a big man had a pitiful appearance, her heart softened, and said to Xizi: "I'll pick you up," and looked at Mingyue again: "Bring you some buns too." ”
Turned around and walked all the way back, I could still feel the gaze of Mingyue behind me, frowning, when I really wanted to leave, how would I say goodbye to him?
When I walked to the slope, I saw the carriage stopped at the door, and walked back, sure enough, it was Shi Ju who came, who was sitting in Ye Wenxin's room, and said hello to Ye Wenxin with a smile, Ye Wenxin held a document in his hand, looked at this thing back and forth twice, and saw Shi Gui laughing.
Ye Wenxin's matter was done, and then she was sent away, Shi Ju said: "The old lady said, it is cold and freezing at this time, and there is a lot of inconvenience on the road. ”
Ye Wenxin nodded: "The old lady is bothered." Holding this piece of paper in his hand, he didn't expect his heart to fluctuate, but he was very calm, folded it carefully, received it in his purse, and then he was able to walk on the street in the bright future.
Shi Gui was the same, Shi Ju took her hand: "The old lady said that you have always been a safe person, and you will follow the girl in the future." He said in a low voice: "I asked the eldest brother of the Gao family to do the matter of your departure." ”
Speaking of Gao Jia, his face was slightly red, and he restrained his expression again: "When it's done, I'll report it to the old lady again, saying that the girl is going to release you." "I went to the government and got rid of my citizenship, and I was no longer a slave from now on.
Shi Gui waited for this day for so long, and after so many things, it finally came to this day, his two hands were tightly clasped in front of the placket, and he couldn't speak, but Shi Gui knew that she had found her mother and hugged her: "In the future, you and your mother will not be separated." ”
asked her what she planned again, knowing that she still wanted to follow Ye Wenxin to Suizhou, and nodded: "It's okay, I'll report it to the old lady, you don't forget the girl's kindness, and voluntarily go with you." ”
Qiu Niang knew that her daughter had left her nationality, Ye Wenxin still refused to ask for silver, she was crying and laughing, and she wanted to kowtow to Ye Wenxin, where was Ye Wenxin willing to accept it, she dodged and dodged over, Qiu Niang pulled Shi Gui, and let go of a major event in her heart, this matter has been grinding her for seven or eight years, and it has finally settled down at this point.
In the past few days, she has been crying and laughing, and the yard is full of joys and sorrows, Shi Gui pulled her, afraid that she would cry and break her eyes: "My mother is happy, just make me mixed dishes, I want to eat that." Thirteen kinds of dishes were mixed, and the Shi family had eaten them in a good year, and they were a good mouthful, but they didn't expect her to remember, Qiu Niang raised her hand to wipe her tears, turned around and went into the kitchen to get busy.
