Gu Jiayi wiped the cold sweat on her face, looked at the slightly pale sky, and stabilized her beating breath. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Xiaoyi, are you having nightmares again?" A gentle, clear male voice came from outside the door.
"Uncle." Gu Jiayi greeted the door, put on a coat, and walked out.
It's been three years, why does she always dream about the day her father died, even from morning to night, the plot is not bad. Actually, it's not a nightmare, but every time I think about it, my heart is still like a pinprick.
"Come over and have breakfast, yesterday the school paid wages, so today's porridge is thicker than before, and it is more fragrant!"
"Uncle," Gu Jiayi sat down a little embarrassed and glanced at the handsome-looking man opposite, "You are also weak this year, so let's save some money to marry an aunt for me, in fact, it doesn't matter if I eat a little, you are already very good to me." ā
"Uncle is not in a hurry, Xiaoyi is the time to grow his body, and when Xiaoyi grows up, his uncle will marry again."
"Well," Gu Jiayi nodded, and said with a smile, "I'm ten years old this year, and I should find my in-laws in three or four years, and I will get married when I'm sixteen, but it's only been six years, and my uncle is only twenty-six, so I'm still young." ā
"How can a girl's family talk about marrying all day long." He Zhihao pretended to be angry.
"Got it. Uncle, go to the school, I'll clean up this bowl. ā
She is just talking casually, she is a modern person, even if she is dressed in ancient times, it is impossible to believe the words of a matchmaker, and marry herself casually. Her future husband doesn't ask for the dragon among people, but he also has to be wholeheartedly good to her, remembering that he has never been in love in his previous life, and he has to find someone he likes to do whatever he says in this life.
He Zhihao went out, and Gu Jiayi began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Three years ago, the He mother and daughter, who were struggling in the Gu family, finally decided to leave the Gu Mansion and go back to Tuo Village. When he was halfway there, He suddenly felt colic in his abdomen, and he saw red again, and he was about to give birth. Although Gu Jiayi was flustered, she still comforted He, looked around, but saw no one, so she asked He to lie down and wait in place, and went to find the doctor by herself, and finally found the doctor, but returned to the original place but disappeared He. Gu Jiayi searched along the bloodstains, but she didn't want her feet to slip, and the whole person fell down the hillside. When I woke up, I found myself lying in He Zhihao's house, which turned out to be a coincidence, and Gu Jiayi, who was in a coma, happened to be rescued by He Zhihao who was passing by. In the past three years, although he has already reported to the official, and He Zhihao has kept asking people to inquire about his sister's whereabouts, there is no news. Gu Jiayi also went to the original place to see, but the bloodstains had already been washed away by the rain, and there was no trace at all.
In the past three years, it has also been thanks to He Zhihao's care.
After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Gu Jiayi went up the mountain. In her previous life, she was a famous wild girl when she was a child, climbing trees and going down the river, shuttling between the woods, playing more crazy than a monkey, and this He Zhihao was a scholar, let him go up the mountain to chop wood, she was really not at ease. In the past, He Zhihao went to his neighbor's house to buy firewood, but now with Gu Jiayi, he has saved this money. However, He Zhihao didn't let her go up the mountain alone, so Gu Jiayi had to lie to him that the firewood was bought at someone's house, and He Zhihao gave her the money to buy firewood, but she didn't use it, and saved it for him to marry a daughter-in-law in the future.
There is only one way up the mountain, and it is inevitable to pass by the uncle's house, Gu Jiayi walks quickly with her head down every time, but sometimes she is still seen by her aunt Yuan, and she is ridiculed.
"Yo, isn't this my niece? What are you going to do so early and in such a hurry? ā
"Auntie, it's early." Gu Jiayi, who was discovered, did not lose the game, and he didn't do anything to steal chickens and dogs, so it was nothing to say hello generously.
After speaking, he ignored Yuan's gaze and hurriedly walked towards the mountain.
It rained all night last night, and the trees were covered with rain, and she had to dry it for a while before she could use it, so she didn't plan to go up the mountain to chop wood today. Gu Jiayi smacked her lips as she walked, she hadn't drunk mushroom soup for a long time, that's right, she came up the mountain to pick mushrooms today.
In her previous life, Gu Jiayi was still a wild mountaineering enthusiast, and she was already familiar with walking in the jungle. Besides, she had been walking in this mountain for three years, and she had already figured out where there were mushrooms. In fact, this mountain is very rich in products, and there are many types of mushrooms, some of the colorful mushrooms look very good, but they can only be seen, Gu Jiayi only dares to pick those varieties she is familiar with, such as oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, etc.
She took out the large square towel she had brought from her bosom, and poured the mushrooms in her hand one by one. As soon as he stood up, his head was struck firmly by the fruit falling from the branches above.
"Oops, that's unlucky," Gu Jiayi squatted down curiously to see what it was while rubbing the smashed place. The fruit was dressed in a gray-green coat, and the husk had cracked a small crack, Gu Jiayi pinched her nails into the crack, she wanted to see what it was like.
"Hey, it's a familiar thing," Gu Jiayi muttered as she laboriously peeled it, the shell was too hard, she really couldn't peel it off completely, but the things inside had already begun to show their form, "Is it a pecan?" ā
She wasn't sure, so she picked up two of the ones that had fallen on the ground and put them in her bag, and hurried home. If this is really a pecan, then it would be great, although she doesn't know how much pecans sell for a pound in this place, but if it is left in modern times, the price of pecans is also quite considerable, even if it can't be sold here, then you can keep it for yourself to eat, and make more nutrients.
On the way back, when she passed by her uncle He Yu's house, her steps involuntarily sped up.
"Yo, I said niece, where are you going in such a hurry?" was seen by the Yuan family again, why was she so unlucky today!
"Look at what my aunt said, didn't I rush back to cook so I could send it to my uncle?"
"Oh, yes! It's also my uncle's family, why haven't I seen you cook for our family? ā
Oh, calling you an uncle is for the sake of your mother's face, but you still kicked your nose in the face! I also want to say that I am also a brother, after my mother had an accident, I didn't see your family to help, and even going out to find someone was perfunctory, all relying on my uncle to find it, and in the past three years, I have also relied on my uncle's meager income to live.
"What my eldest aunt said is not right, I have lived in my uncle's house for the past three years, and I should help cook." Gu Jiayi's smile was bright, but Yuan's face turned white when he heard it, but Yuan's face was also a thick-skinned person, and he recovered his expression after a while.
"It's still early, why don't you come in and sit down?" Your uncle is on the dock, your cousin went to her aunt's, your cousin and cousin have gone to play again, and I'm left alone at home, it's boring, come in, come in and talk to your aunt. ā
Gu Jiayi really thought she was kind at first, but when she looked down at her gaze, it turned out that she was staring at the mushroom in her arms that was wrapped in a square scarf and showed a corner.
This greedy woman, this little advantage has to be taken advantage of!
Scolding in her heart, Gu Jiayi still smiled and said, "This is what I just picked, why don't you take some and taste them?" ā
"That's a good idea!" The Yuan family can't ask for it, this kid can also observe words and feelings.
Gu Jiayi generously grabbed a large handful and put it into the dustpan that Yuan took out, and looking at Yuan's hand that still wanted to stretch out, she took the first step to tie the square scarf.
"Uncle, don't be polite to me, I'll pick some tomorrow, and I'll give some to my uncle."
"Okay, okay."
"That, auntie, I'll go back first."
"Okay, slow down."
Back at home, Gu Jiayi skillfully lit a fire to cook, she thought about it, or waited for He Zhihao to come home in the evening to make mushroom soup, cooked two dishes at random, ate a little quickly, and served He Zhihao rice.
