Gu Juan closed the door and blocked the cold outside the door. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Lying in the warm bed, just in my mind, the figure of those children always appears from time to time.

This has been an unsolvable problem since ancient times.

In the early morning of the second day, Gu Juan got up and made some food, and after breakfast, he looked at the empty yard and suddenly felt empty, but he didn't know what to do.

Gu Juan came out of the house and walked into the courtyard. found that there was already a layer of ice on the ground, but there was still this light rain in the air, which made people feel extremely wet and cold, Gu Juan thought that he had nothing to do at home now, so it was better to go out and buy some things and make a winter coat for Wang Kai.

Well, she's not really good at needlework, but she can always learn it, and it's like doing nothing in this cold yard.

Gu Juan put on the thickest clothes, but she still felt a little cold, and couldn't help but speed up her pace.

There were few people on the streets, and most of the people were hurrying because it was so cold. Finally got to the ready-to-wear shop, Gu Juan bought himself two thick winter clothes, bought two for Wang Kai, bought some fabrics and cotton, and prepared to go home.

It's just that when I was going home, I happened to meet the little monk yesterday again, the little monk was still in a hurry, and he was still wearing the worn-out monk shoes on his feet, Gu Juan remembered that he seemed to owe the proprietress of the noodle shop an umbrella, so he returned home, put things away, took the umbrella, and rushed to the noodle shop.

The proprietress was lying on the counter at this time, and the weather was cold at this time, and no one came out, so the noodle tube business was not very good.

"Shopkeeper, I'm here to return the umbrella today."

The proprietress raised her eyes and saw that it was Gu Juan, and immediately said with a smile: "Madam is here, do you want to finish eating noodles, I will invite you." ”

Gu Juan was stunned, she had never encountered such a thing in Taicang.

The proprietress smiled heartily, sat opposite Gu Juan, and said, "Madame looks young, she should be newly married, why don't you see your husband?" ”

Gu Juan smiled and said, "He's been very busy. ”

"It's a pity that such a flower-like and kind-hearted little lady."

Gu Juan will not deny it, but where does the word kindness come from.

"I don't know what Madame is called?"

"My surname is Gu, and the boss just calls me Gu Niangzi."

"My surname is Chen, and I am the fourth in the family, so Gu Niangzi will call me Chen Siniang in the future. Gu Niangzi didn't know, the little monk like you yesterday was also a kind-hearted, when I came the year before last, the temple where he had been living was slaughtered, leaving only this poor child alone, this little monk is also a sincere Buddha, has been helping the orphans in the rotten kilns in the west of the city, he can't eat enough, and he still wants to make a fate for that group of children. ”

After Gu Juan listened, he asked, "Does the government care?" ”

Chen Siniang took the melon seeds in her hand and said helplessly: "Where will the government take care of this kind of thing, Taiyuan City is quite good, I have lived in the northwest border city for a while, where is it really miserable, at least there are people like Niangzi here." ”

Chen Siniang beckoned, and Xiao Er brought over two bowls of noodles and a stack of side dishes.

The side dishes tasted red, spicy, sour and fresh, very appetizing, but Gu Juan ate a lot, after eating.

Gu Juan said to Chen Siniang: "Sister Chen's craftsmanship is really good. ”

Chen Siniang sighed for some reason, and she said, "My men also like this dish very much. ”

"It's a pity that he is now in Lu'an, and he doesn't know what he can come back."

"Sister Chen's husband has a military position."

Chen Siniang waved her hand and said: "What is it called having a military position, just a soldier, the biggest dream in this life is to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, I can't stop him, so he will go." ”

At this time, Chen Siniang's eyes were both helpless and worried.

"Maybe he wants to earn a name for Sister Chen."

After hearing this, Chen Siniang sighed and said: "I don't ask him to earn me any fame, I just ask him to come back safely, and it's better than me being scared all day long." ”

"Sister, have you ever heard a poem by Wang Changling in the Tang Dynasty."

Chen Siniang laughed, patted the table, and said, "Your sister Chen, I am just a rough person, I can barely read the account book, and we really don't know each other." ”

Gu Juan said: "Then I'll read it to my sister, the young woman in the boudoir doesn't know how to worry, and she goes to the green building in the spring." Suddenly, I saw a strange willow color, and the penitent husband was looking for a marquis. ”

After Chen Siniang listened, she was silent for a moment, and finally sighed faintly: "I have passed the age of not knowing sorrow, and when I was young, I did tell him that I like men who stand up to the sky and the earth in my heart." ”

Gu Juan smiled and drank a cup of tea.

Whispered, "Why shouldn't I?" ”

The two were silent, and at this time Chen Siniang spoke: "Sister Gu is a learned person, I can see that you are not an ordinary person, but you will not be like us ordinary women." ”

"It's no different, it's all the same, Sister Chen."

Gu Juan actually had the luxury of hoping in her heart that Wang Kai could return to Taicang with her, and the two of them would live quietly without asking about the world.

But she also knew that it was impossible.

Gu Juan chatted a lot with this Chen Siniang, and the words were very speculative, but it was getting late at this time, and when Gu Juan was about to go home, a man ran in from this small noodle restaurant, and the man was the little monk before, but this little monk was covered with blood, and the people who looked at it were weird and scary.

"Master Chen, Xiaoling Xiaoling is about to give birth."

Chen Siniang was stunned when she heard this, hurriedly stood up, put on her clothes, and said: "It's only been less than seven months, how can I be born, Xiaoling is still young, this is going to die." ”

Gu Juan was stunned for a moment, Xiaoling, last night those children also said that a woman named Xiaoling was about to die, why was she about to give birth again.

Chen Siniang said to Gu Juan: "Sister Gu, go back first, I'll go and see the craftsmanship of childbirth that has been passed down from my ancestors." ”

Gu Juan was curious in his heart, and hurriedly said, "I'll go with you too." ”

"What are you going to do?"

Chen Siniang said, she had already followed the little monk out of the store, Gu Juan naturally followed, this Chen Siniang was only Gu Juan was curious, but she didn't say anything, and she turned around and went to a very sloped alley, which was sparsely populated, cold and damp.

When they finally came to a shack, they saw a hint of popularity, only to see a dilapidated courtyard without a roof, with all kinds of shacks, the only intact house with lights on, and the ground was wet and littered with some miscellaneous items.

There are probably no people living in this place at all.
