024. My brother-in-law has returned to the village
Chu Chenfeng said that he still had to deal with some things in the restaurant, so Gu Jiayi left first. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zao Zao seemed to be in a good mood, walking briskly all the way, and it didn't take long to reach the entrance of the village.
When she dismounted, she saw people gathered in groups of three or five, as if they were talking about something, and when they saw her returning, they seemed to stop talking, and at last they dispersed.
Did what they say have something to do with her?
Gu Jiayi took the jujube and walked briskly home. A familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her, pulling a white-bearded old gentleman, who was also hurrying away.
"Doctor Hu, hurry up."
"I said the lady of the Zhang family, I'm old, so I naturally walk slowly, and I'm not as young as you."
Gu Jiayi hesitated for a moment, but still shouted, "Aunt Zhang." ”
The anxious woman turned her head when she heard this, a little surprised: "Sister Yi'er? You've just come back, huh? ”
Gu Jiayi nodded, "What's going on?" Who is sick with a sudden illness? ”
"Hey, I don't think you know, it's... Yes, sir, but it's not an emergency. ”
"Who? My brother-in-law? What the hell is going on! Gu Jiayi was taken aback.
"Let's not talk about it yet, let's go."
Gu Jiayi turned over and said, "I'll go first." ”
Her heart was beating suddenly, her uncle should have just come back, what could happen when she just came back? Even the neighbors were alarmed!
When she got home, she panicked and crossed the fence, and before she could dismount, she heard the sound of the house.
"Sister-in-law Niu," she saw a room of people when she entered the house, so she had to pull someone close to her, "Where is my uncle?" ”
Along the crowd to make way of a gap, Sister-in-law Niu pulled her over. He Zhihao was lying on the bed, his face pale, and his feet were wrapped around a thick circle of blood-soaked rags.
Hot tears fell, and Gu Jiayi held him tightly, "What happened?" Uncle, why is this happening? ”
He Zhihao closed his eyes tightly and seemed to be in a coma.
"When your third brother Niu was chopping wood, he found that Mr. had fainted in the back mountain and his foot was injured, and this situation has been going on for two hours. The lady of the Zhang family said that she went to the neighboring village to ask for a doctor, why hasn't she come yet? Sister-in-law Niu touched Gu Jiayi's head, looked at He Zhihao, who was unconscious, and sighed softly.
Gu Jiayi wiped away her tears, turned back to everyone and said, "I know that everyone is worried about my uncle, and I understand your intentions, but what my uncle needs now is to rest quietly, so please go back first." ”
She grabbed Sister-in-law Niu's hand again and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid you still have to help take care of your brother-in-law here." ”
"That's nature." Sister-in-law Niu nodded, got up and persuaded everyone to go back.
Gu Jiayi ran to the kitchen to boil water, opened the bucket and took a look, only to find that there was not a drop of water left. She suddenly thought of He Mei's boiling water in the morning, and she was afraid that she would take it all to wash her hair, and then she was too lazy to fetch water. Fortunately, there is a well near the house, so it is easy to get water. After boiling the water, Gu Jiayi went to check the food stored in the kitchen.
Oh, good guy, there was still a little bit of pork left in the three catties of pork she cut at the Wang butcher's house the day before yesterday, but now there is not even a piece of minced meat, and the rice and flour she just bought are gone. She made a quick round, yes, very good, except for a few handfuls of wild vegetables that were difficult to swallow, there was really no food at all. This mother and daughter are really good! But then again, from the moment they entered the door, they have not seen the mother and daughter, and it seems that they have left. Let's go? Heck, she won't be taken away from her money, will she?
Thinking that he was about to run to the bedroom to check, he bumped into the person who came in.
"Sister Yi'er, why are you running in such a hurry?"
"That, I'm sorry, Third Brother Niu. You help me watch the fire, and I'll come when I go. ”
She hurried to the bedroom, and pulled out a small dusty box from under the bed, and she "groaned" when she saw it, there were two unfamiliar fingerprints on it, and it was not covered with dust, it was new. Sure enough, when I opened it, it was empty, and her three taels of silver, the money she made from selling walnuts, were gone. Oh, not busy, there are other places, she turned over the pillow, reached into the pillow, groped for a long time and didn't touch her things, alas, they still found it! What kind of person do you say this is, she was still found hiding so hidden!
"Sister Yi'er, Sister Yi'er," Sister-in-law Niu shouted, "Are you in the room?" Sir, he woke up. ”
"It's coming!"
Dr. Hu, who was invited by Aunt Zhang, was checking He Zhihao's pulse, he pinched his goatee, and said slowly: "Sir, it's no big deal, the old man prescribes a few pairs of medicines, and you can take it for ten days." ”
"Uncle," Gu Jiayi's tears were about to flow out again, "I'll go get you a basin of water, you have a good rest." ”
He Zhihao shook his head and said to Sister-in-law Niu and Aunt Zhang: "I've worked hard for you, I'm already better, you go back to rest first." ”
Sister-in-law Niu and Aunt Zhang glanced at each other, and Dr. Hu said that He Zhihao needed to rest, so the two had to say goodbye, and told Gu Jiayi to take good care of He Zhihao.
Gu Jiayi sent Dr. Hu, Sister-in-law Niu, Third Brother Niu and Aunt Zhang out, and went to the kitchen to fetch a pot of water and make tea.
"Uncle, this is the new tea I bought a few days ago, can you taste it?"
He Zhihao frowned slightly, "Where did you get the money to buy tea?" ”
Gu Jiayi smiled slightly, and told him everything about selling walnuts.
"Oh? Our Xiaoyi is getting more and more capable! ”
"But," Gu Jiayi's face was shrouded in resentment, "all our money and food were taken away by Yuan Qinghua and the others. ”
"Haha, the daughter is scattered and comes back, Xiaoyi doesn't need to care."
Seeing his indifferent appearance, Gu Jiayi stretched out a finger and poked his injured leg, "How did you get hurt?" ”
He Zhihao avoided his legs slightly, "On the way back, I accidentally fell and rolled down the hillside, that part of the road is really not easy to walk, Xiaoyi is not allowed to walk that section of the road in the future." ”
"Well, by the way, uncle, why have you been there for so long? How's it going? ”
"Of course... I didn't win, in fact, I had already given up the exam, and I gave up the exam within a few days of arriving in the provincial capital, and I had already contacted a college in the county, and I went to teach in half a month, so my life was very good, so why pursue fame? ”
Although He Zhihao said it very easily, Gu Jiayi still saw that he was just pretending to be relaxed. Maybe he gave up because of the darkness of officialdom or the unfairness of the exam, since he didn't want to go into details, Gu Jiayi also felt that there was no need to ask more.
"Xiaoyi, let's go to the county seat to live in the future."
Gu Jiayi was stunned for a moment, went to live in the county seat? What if I meet someone from the Gu family again? Can't you live your life in the country?
