Chapter 236: Return to Normalcy
After handing over the autumn grain, the village is officially idle, and there are golden corn skewers hanging in the small courtyards of every household, most of which are left by the villagers to eat at home, or wait for the price of corn to rise and then prepare to sell, even Gu Sisi's family is not excluded.
Under the eaves of the front yard and backyard of Gu Sisi's house, corn skewers are hung all over the house, and they look yellow and bright from a distance, so the ocelot lightning has one more duty, that is, to patrol in the distance, in case mice steal food at night.
As soon as the long holiday is over, everyone who goes to school and goes to work returns to their daily routines. Playing a little crazy children suddenly feel that the days go by so fast, because this month is over, next month is the midterm exam, when it comes to the exam, Gu Xing'an is a little worried, although he has made obvious progress in learning, but he is still the most afraid of the exam, this is not called "once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope." ”
Gu Sisi still goes to school with the little sisters, of course, teaching them to do manual work has not been pulled down, among the three people, Mu Yingying is the fastest and best, Mu Shanshan is worse, this sister doesn't know what's wrong, usually looks very careful, as soon as they start manual work, they are in a hurry.
No, this girl began to cry wolf in the house again, only to listen to the small hand of Brother Hao, who was writing big characters outside the house, a large drop of black ink dripped down on the white paper, and the little guy's little face immediately wrinkled, and looked at his sister's room with some annoyance, and then the little head shook helplessly, and continued to write in the blank space of the white paper.
The little guy's series of reactions happened to be seen by Chen Xinling, who came in to get the kettle, and Chen Xinling, who only watched it, couldn't cry or laugh, but because she was going back to duty tomorrow, she took advantage of the fact that she was going to bake some cakes for the child now, and simply didn't care about a few girls.
As for Gu Guofu and Xue Guizhi, of course, the marriage did not end for a while, because Xue Guizhi took Sister Ping back to her parents' house, whether it was Xue Guizhi's deliberate departure or a plan for Gu Guofu's envoy, Gu Guofu did not chase after him in the end.
As for Sister Ping, Gu Guofu didn't worry much, after all, she went to her grandfather's house, so Gu Guofu went back to Xingcheng District, after all, the money would not fall from the sky if she stayed at home.
It's just that when he left, he was very reluctant to give up his little son, after all, the relationship between father and son has been very good these days, although Brother Hao didn't understand why his father left home, but the little guy was still very sensible to comfort his father, saying that he would be obedient and would stay at home obediently and wait for his father to come back.
The old man looked at his somewhat decadent little son, and sighed again and again, although the old man didn't say anything on his face, but in his heart, the old man still hoped that his children could live happily, not like him and his wife.
Back in Gu Sisi's room, there was a burst of laughter. I saw a small kang table on Gu Sisi's bed, and there was also a plate of red bean cake and four cups of hot osmanthus nectar tea on the table.
On Gu Sisi's bed, Mu Shanshan was half leaning on the quilt, the red thread on her hand was a tangled mess, and the little face looked very irritable, Gu Sisi glanced at the little sister, lowered her head and smiled, at this time, Wan'er, who was sitting next to Shanshan, opened her mouth first, "I said Shanshan, are you making things, or are you pestering yourself!
Mu Shanshan glanced at the little sister sadly, and then looked at the messy threads in her hands, the whole person suddenly became worse, the little girl pulled the rope with her temperament, and looked at the messier threads, her head was about to explode, "Oops! I'm so angry! I don't make it up, I don't make it up! This is not the work I can do! These lines are against me, obviously I am winding according to the method Sisi said, but the more I twist it, it annoys me!"
Mu Wan'er looked at the little sister next to her, and laughed out loud and unkindly, "Haha! You, I said that you should first be proficient in the simple things taught by Sisi, and then make the complex, but you are good, you have to be successful, and you still say that you are good at this! Don't brag now!"
"How do I know, I see you and Yingying do it so fast, I think I can do it too, where do I know that I will be like this as soon as I make it up! This is even more difficult than sitting on math problems!" Mu Shanshan finally freed up a hand, scratched her head irritably, and looked at the sisters who were about to cry.
"Otherwise, you can make this five-color rope, this is the easiest winding, wrap the thread eight times to change the color, and so on, wrap it to a suitable length and finally tie a knot. Gu Sisi looked at Mu Shanshan's own hair that was scratched like a chicken nest, she couldn't help but smile, handed a five-color rope to Mu Shanshan and said.
"Is it really the easiest?" Mu Shanshan took the five-color rope and looked over and over again, looked at Gu Sisi and asked suspiciously, seeing Gu Sisi nodding, she bit her lip and said, "That's okay, then I'll do this." ”
Mu Wan'er didn't care about her after helping Shanshan rescue herself from the mess, but turned her head and asked Mu Yingying, who was making knots, and asked worriedly: "By the way, Yingying, you are coming back to Sisijia, you won't go back and be scolded by your grandmother!"
When Mu Yingying heard this, she raised her head and looked at the three little sisters looking at her concerned eyes, she smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, my family is now the same as Sisi's family, but after the separation, it is much better than before, although she still scolds, I will treat this ear in, that ear out, if you don't go to your heart, it's okay." ”
"That's it, let's not take those words seriously!" Mu Shanshan nodded and said with a grin, as if the previous anger had not happened. She was more serious this time, because she thought the five-colored rope was very simple.
While making the five-color rope, Mu Shanshan said something she heard when she went to her aunt's house, so she moved forward and whispered: "I will tell you one thing quietly, in the village where my aunt married, there was a girl who committed suicide by jumping into the river the day before yesterday! Do you know why that girl went to seek death?"
"Why can't you think about it so much?" "Ah, why do you want to jump into the river?" Mu Yingying and Mu Wan'er asked in unison, Gu Sisi didn't speak, just looked at Mu Shanshan.
Mu Shanshan glanced at the door, then looked at the three little sisters and said: "Let me tell you, that girl was forced to death by her own family, don't you know, that girl's family is simply not a thing, that girl is only sixteen years old, her parents have found a home, you can find someone else, guess how old the person you are looking for?"
"Well, twenty-two!" Mu Yingying frowned and said, only to see Mu Shanshan shake her head, Mu Wan'er said with a surprised face: "Yingying said that it is small, won't it be thirty?"
Mu Shanshan continued to shake her head, looking like an adult and said, "No, let me tell you, it's fifty-eight!"
Mu Wan'er was taken aback, she first covered her mouth, and then asked in disbelief: "My God, I'm about to be her grandfather!
"What can you think! It's not for money! The bride price money, it is said that 8,000 yuan was given! And the color TV motorcycle or something, you don't know that the girl's family is happy to die, and they agreed without saying anything, and they also boasted around that his girl has a good life, marries a good family, and enjoys good fortune when she marries!" Mu Shanshan shook her head, with sympathy for the girl on her little face.
"I don't understand, isn't this girl her own?, she was raised?" Mu Yingying's face was a little bad, maybe she thought of her family's situation.
"No, it's a serious kiss, it's just that this girl's parents are patriarchal! That girl, my aunt said that she is very handsome, but she is very thin, her life is not good, she has not finished elementary school, she has been working at home, she has two brothers above, and two younger brothers below, but they were all raised crooked by her parents, and she is not close to her at all, and her family treats her as a slave, and she has to do all kinds of work! My aunt said that she is pitiful, there is no good meat on her body, and she is all green and purple!" Mu Shanshan looked at Mu Yingying and shook her head, and then said everything she had heard.
"Oh my God, that family is too cruel, it's also a daughter!"
"Then why didn't she leave that house?"
My aunt said that her family looked at her very closely, as if it was because she ran away once, but she didn't make it, and she was beaten hard after being arrested, and if she hadn't been asked to work, it is estimated that both legs would have been broken!"
"It's so pitiful!"
"Death is a relief for her! If she is stronger, she will not seek death if she can change her fate! Death is the worst choice! Perhaps, she is really desperate!"
"Uh-huh, yes, but I still think it's a pity, it's gone at the age of sixteen!"
"Okay! Don't talk about this, look at you all uncomfortable, I think that girl must be very happy now, at least get rid of that group of harsh family members! Lord Yama sees her so pitiful, he will definitely be able to give her a good birth!"
