Chapter Ninety-Two: The sky is cold, the earth is cold, and the heart is warm
Gu Sanniang hung her head and didn't speak, and she didn't know what she was thinking, she stepped into the house before Gu Siniang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the evening, the family was ready to eat, only to find that Gu Sanniang and Gu Siniang were not at home, and after looking around in front of and behind Chen's house, they didn't see a figure, and they wanted to go out to look for it, but they entered the door one after the other.
"The two who are not worried, where did they go, what time did they go, and they only knew that they would come back!" Chen said angrily.
"Mother."
Gu Siniang wanted to explain, but her eyes looked at Gu Sanniang, and Gu Sanniang also glanced at her over there and didn't speak.
The two stood side by side, but neither spoke, Chen was angry and speechless, because of the New Year's Festival, it was not appropriate to be angry, she had to wave her hand, "Go wash your hands, and start eating immediately." ”
Gu Siniang answered, turned around and went into the house, and Gu Sanniang also followed into the house.
I fetched water and put both hands into the tub together.
"Third sister, why didn't you tell your mother?" She looked at Gu Sanniang and asked.
Gu Sanniang turned her head uncomfortably and snorted, "I forgot." ”
Gu Siniang laughed, her eyes crooked, she leaned her head on Gu Sanniang's shoulder, and said softly, "Thank you, Third Sister, I know you are reluctant to give them up." ”
The dinner is relatively hearty, the white flour steamed buns are divided into one, the dish is directly put down with the oil flowing at the bottom of the pot after frying the New Year's goods, the cabbage is stewed with tofu, and more than ten vegetable balls are put in it. Sprinkle finely chopped green onions before cooking. Although there is no meat, there is still enough oil and water in the dish.
Everyone in the Gu family ate happily around the table, and the vegetable soup was cleaned up.
After eating, everyone in the Gu family lay down early.
The easiest thing for the New Year is the children, and the adults will ask them to help on weekdays, but the children are not allowed to interfere during the New Year, mainly prepare a mouth, just eat.
Gu Siniang couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning in the quilt, the snow outside had stopped, and the wind was blowing at the moment, and the branches outside were rustling.
She was a little worried about the two brothers of the Zhao family, the two of them only had a thin tattered quilt to keep out the cold, and at such a night, they didn't know what it would look like.
She got up, put on a padded jacket and went to the outer room, and as soon as she pushed the door open, she was suddenly shivering with the cold on her face.
It was obviously colder than she had imagined.
She was really relieved, but it was cold outside and the night was deep, and she walked to the foot of the mountain alone, and she was also a little scared.
There was a sound of footsteps behind her, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Gu Sanniang standing behind her, and the padded jacket on her body was already properly worn.
"Third sister, you ......" This dress is obviously a dress for going out.
Gu Sanniang pursed her lips and said, "Don't you think the same way, why do you still ask me?" ”
Gu Siniang was stunned for a moment, and then her face was full of surprise, she walked over and hugged Gu Sanniang and couldn't hide her excitement, "Third sister, I know that you have the softest heart." ”
"Okay, be quiet, and I'm not afraid of waking up my father and mother. Don't even think about going anywhere then. Gu Sanniang glanced at her with some disgust, and quickly pushed her away.
There are people to keep you company, and you are bold. The two quietly went to the kitchen and served the rest of the meal, Gu Sanniang went to the utility room to find a few old clothes that Gu Dazhuang didn't wear, wrapped them in rags, carried them on their backs, and found a small iron pot to take with them by the way.
The night wind pounded on people's faces, like knives, and the two small children walked forward step by step against the wind.
When she arrived at the door of the cave, she didn't go in directly, but called Xiaohuzi a few times, originally thought that they were asleep, but she didn't think about it, and soon there was a sound of response inside.
"Sister, is that you?" Xiaohuzi ran out, and when he saw Gu Siniang standing outside, he immediately showed a happy expression.
"It's me, I'm coming to see you." Gu Siniang said with a smile, and pointed to Gu Sanniang on the side and said, "This is my third sister, you can just call the third sister." ”
"Hello third sister." The little tiger screamed obediently.
"Okay, okay, say something outside, don't be too cold." Gu Sanniang said impatiently.
Seeing her like this, Xiaohuzi looked at her a little timidly, not daring to speak, Gu Siniang smiled, "My third sister is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, don't be scared by her, in fact, she is a very good person." ”
When I entered the cave, I warmed up a little, and the fire in the cave had been extinguished, but the residual warmth remained.
Zhao Cheng leaned against the wall and his face was not very good, and the quilt on his body covered half of his body, leaving half of the empty side, presumably for Xiaohuzi.
"Sister, why are you here?" Xiaohuzi was very excited to see her, and her big eyes were shining.
"I thought you hadn't eaten anything that night, and that you must be hungry, so I took some food from home. Let's be hot, you and your brother eat some, and when we have something in our stomachs, it's not so cold. Gu Siniang said as she took the dry branches piled aside and started to light the fire.
When the fire was on, Gu Sanniang untied the pot on her back, put it on the shelf, poured the vegetables into the pot, and heated it.
"How are you doing?" Because Gu Sanniang was hot dishes, she walked to Zhao Cheng's side, and just as she reached out to touch his forehead, she saw him sensitively hiding aside.
"I'm fine." Zhao Cheng didn't overdo it, a little uncomfortable.
Gu Siniang withdrew her hand and smiled, she could understand how many white eyes this child had seen in the past few years, and she would definitely not be able to accept the closeness of others for a while.
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to see if you're still hot." Although I drank the medicine, I was not at ease in the end.
He didn't say anything this time, but his head was still pinned to the side, and it seemed that he still didn't want to.
Gu Siniang didn't continue to insist, seeing that he knew how to dodge, it should have improved a little.
The iron pot on the side was steaming, and the smell of vegetables wafted out.
Xiaohuzi had already swallowed a few mouthfuls of water, and even Zhao Cheng's expression over there moved, and there was obvious longing in his small eyes.
Gu Siniang was a little surprised, but then she was also very happy, this is what a child should look like, and the lifeless appearance before is abnormal.
"If you want to eat, my mother's craftsmanship is good. There are also vegetable balls in this dish, which is fragrant. ”
"What are the vegetable balls?" There was a look of longing in the eyes of the little tiger, he was born without a mother, and he couldn't walk when his father went, so he couldn't remember anything.
For as long as he can remember, basically every meal was leftovers that his brother found outside, and when he was very hungry, he even ate other people's swill.
What a vegetable ball is, he has never heard of it at all, and he has never seen it.
Gu Siniang sighed, what has this child experienced over the years, she reached out and touched his head, "You'll know later." (To be continued.) )
