Chapter 224 Wuliu Sister-in-law
How many children from poor families have ever seen sugar?
Before the pack of five or six yellow candy could be put in his mouth, the child could already smell the sweet smell, his eyes blinked, and his saliva flowed down his eyes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Thank you Uncle yet!" Seeing this, Wuliu's sister-in-law hurriedly shouted at the child.
Although the child was weak and weak, there was sugar in his eyes, and he exerted his strength and shouted, "Thank you, uncle!" ”
After he finished shouting in one breath, he lost his strength, and the person wilted again.
Seeing this, Gao sighed secretly, touched his head, and said, "Good boy, take care of it, Uncle sees that you will be fine in a few days." Take your medicine well, get well quickly, your father is still thinking about you two on the boat! ”
As soon as the child heard the word "daddy", his nature made his eyes shine, and the light flashed the eyes of Wuliu's sister-in-law, and the corners of her eyes swept high, secretly tasting the essence of this sentence in her heart.
Wuliu's sister-in-law didn't speak, but Gao nodded slightly at her: "Let the child rest, let's go out and talk." ”
Wuliu's sister-in-law knew that he was going to say something important, so she whispered a few words to the child, and followed Gao and the others out of the room.
The courtyard where they live, although the door is shallow, is also a serious square courtyard, in addition to the Wuliu sister-in-law, the old woman who is getting older and rarer. The old woman was the grandmother of one of the shipwrights, and when she was too old to get on the ship, she was placed here to look after her neighbors.
Sister-in-law Wuliu and the two of them lived here under the banner of this old woman's distant relatives.
The small courtyard is shallow, and Gao and the others can only stand and talk under a sick and crooked old locust tree in the courtyard when they get out of the house.
When the wind blows, the sideburns fly, and if you pay a little attention, you can see a few silver strands mixed in the sideburns.
Gao didn't care about this, and only asked Wuliu's sister-in-law, "How much has the child's illness improved?" Lao Wu is thinking of you, let me ask when I can go back? ”
When the three or five big men came down from the boat to pick up people and go back, she looked at the children and women who were almost sick, and she was quite reluctant to go back, and she secretly claimed to be surprised at that time, and said in her heart that they were blinded by this little favor from the government.
But now that it was her turn to be asked about going back, she also had nostalgia for this lukewarm courtyard in her heart.
Wuliu's sister-in-law hesitated a little here, and Gao saw it clearly, but he didn't say anything, only said: "The child is sick now, and he can't get out of bed, but he will be better in a few days, and he will be bored when he sees Tian'er trapped in this yard." ”
Wuliu's sister-in-law saw that he was talking about her husband and children, and she also knew the meaning of his beating and advice, and after a little thought, she said: "When this child is better enough to get out of bed, he naturally wants to go back." ”
Gao nodded and asked, "I wonder what the other sisters-in-law and sisters who came together think?" ”
Wuliu's sister-in-law heard him ask about others again, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. I am still a little bold in this group of people, and I can't help but hesitate after the favor of the government, let alone others.
Most of those women were forced to follow their men on the boat, and they were attached to the one-third of an acre of land on this shore, not for a day or two. In the end, it is not a long-term solution to wander on the sea, to feed on the sky, or to be forced to be a thief and commit many injustices. It's just that they have been water bandits and thieves in their lives, do they still let their children and grandchildren do this shady deed?
Wuliu's sister-in-law didn't dare to answer for others, sighed, didn't want to go back and forth in circles, and said: "I don't talk to Mr. Mingren in secret, I don't say what others do, I only talk about myself." After these days on the shore, it seems to be back to the time when I didn't get on the boat again, if you say that you don't love this land and this land at all, you don't believe it, do you? ”
Gao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at Wuliu's sister-in-law seriously, nodded and said, "What my brother and sister said is good, is it normal for people." But have you ever thought about how the government was in previous years, and this year it suddenly changed so much, and it really pity the people? Is there really no other plan? ”
When Wuliu's sister-in-law heard him say this, her face immediately turned a little pale. It's not that she hasn't thought about this problem, but she always feels that there is no need for the government to use such a method and spend so much effort to confuse them. Besides, no matter what, it is always the people who will benefit.
Therefore, Wuliu's sister-in-law thought about it and said: "We are women's families, and we are not more strategic than Mr. ”
She couldn't help but smile: "Yes, what you got in your hands is true, but if you really stay, and the people of the government find out what you have done at sea over the years, do you think they will pretend to be deaf and dumb?" Can you, your neighbors, and friends turn a blind eye? ”
A thief for one day and a thief for life, Mr. Gao no longer pulled the flags of those colorful and stable lives, but tore it open, revealing the true face of the matter.
This naked and ugly reality made Wuliu's sister-in-law look awe-inspired.
"Won't you really let it go......?" She asked, frowning.
Xu Pan, who was hiding in the corner, also followed the words of the two and thought about it seriously. It is true that he wants to use this group of people, and it is indeed a means to give grace and favor, but now that Gao hit the nail on the head and said the important points, Xu Pan also understood that it was far from enough to give only some benefits of cotton clothes and rice grain.
These are all outlaws, if they can be given a place to live, they dare to hand over their lives with confidence and break free from Qin Jiu's group of deranged bandits.
The inside and outside of the courtyard fell into deep thought, and after a while, Gao suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, the Ninth Master has to be without you. It's just that at such a juncture, everyone is in the same boat, and it is difficult to do that treacherous thing. In the first half of the year, when the sea is calm, if you want to get off the boat and be good, I don't think the ninth master will be forced to stay. ”
This is a very interesting statement, both morally and logically. Wuliu's sister-in-law didn't expect things to take such a turn, so she hurriedly seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and asked anxiously, "What Mr. said is true?" ”
"I'm not going to tell a lie." Gao saw her like this, and knew that the statement he gave hit their hearts, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He added, "I have other things to do here, and I don't want to stay long. You might as well pass on my words to others, so that they can be as transparent as you. ”
When his voice fell, the alarm in his heart suddenly sounded, and his intuition of dealing with the government and soldiers for many years told him that things were not good.
