Chapter 29: Mother's Love

Zhou Gu'er made the thorny old buds for an afternoon, and looked at the harvest in the back basket, Gu'er smiled softly.

She had almost five pounds this afternoon.

Five catties, it sounds very little, if you change it to something else, you may be able to get dozens of catties, but the thorny old buds can be picked up to five catties, which is already a lot.

She looked at her hands, for she had been doing work all year, and her hands were rough, not at all like the hands of a young girl. But even so, she was pricked a lot this afternoon, and there were two places where it still hurt a lot.

Girls love beauty, and Zhou Guer is no exception, but she knows that she can't afford to be beautiful, she can't even pay attention to her face, let alone her hands.

She shook her head and sighed, now is not the time to think about this, it is important to make money.

Zhou Guer went to get a lot of shallots, since Sun Jiaming said let her get it casually, since she inherited a love from others, then she can't do without it, besides, the shallots here are really good.

"Gu'er, why did you get these thorny old buds, are you okay with your hands?"

Li Hua took the back basket and looked at her daughter's hand, how could she not know that the thorny old buds were difficult to pick.

"It's okay, I pad it with clothes, I didn't get it much, I didn't pick this thing, and it was not easy to pick, I thought it must be better than my mother-in-law."

Gu Er smiled, she didn't care very much, she could make money, she could get rid of the fate of not marrying Zhang Da, so why not work hard.

"Hey. You go wash and eat. ”

Li Hua sighed, she felt sorry for her daughter, but there was no way to help.

After eating, Gu Er lay down on her hard bed early.

If the planks are too hard, the back pain is even more pronounced.

Gu'er felt like she had been beaten all over her body, there was no place that didn't hurt, she must be tired from going up the mountain, she only went to lie down once a day on weekdays, but today she went to lie down twice, it's strange if she is not tired.

Gu'er wanted to turn over, but the pain in her lower back made her frown.

Don't move, just sleep like this, Gu Er thought to herself, but the soreness in her body stimulated her brain and made her a little uncomfortable, but sleepiness and fatigue finally took over, and Gu Er slowly fell asleep.

She didn't sleep well that night, and she was woken up by back pain several times in the middle of the night when she tried to turn over, but she fell asleep again because she was tired.

Gu'er didn't want to be early, but she thought that there were still a bunch of vegetables that hadn't been cleaned up, and she didn't want to come back too late, so she only got up after lying on the bed for a minute.

"Mom, why are you so early?"

When Gu'er went out, she saw that Li Hua was already in the yard.

She was sitting on a small bench and was picking up wild vegetables.

"You went up the mountain twice yesterday, Mom is afraid that you will be tired, you can sleep again, Mom will clean up in a while, and I will wake you up after cleaning up."

Li Hua straightened her waist when she heard Zhou Gu'er's words, and said with a smile.

Gu'er's eyes were slightly wet, she knew that she was tired of making wild vegetables, and she was also tired of cleaning up wild vegetables, so she had to sit there with her head down and bend over to clean up, and it would take two or three hours to sit there, and when she got up, her waist would be broken, and her adoptive mother was afraid that she was too tired, so she got up very early to help herself get these, and looked at the ones she cleaned up, I was afraid that she had been sitting here for an hour or two.

"Mom, don't get it, you don't have a good waist, I'll get these."

Gu Er squatted down, took the knife in Li Hua's hand and put it on the ground, and then gently helped Li Hua rub her waist.

"It's okay, mom is used to it, don't think it's okay, you're still young, if there is something wrong with this waist, you will suffer in the future."

Li Hua took Gu'er's hand, she didn't know that she was tired, but she was used to it, and the tiredness passed. Besides, that's all she can do for her daughter.

Gu'er didn't say anything anymore, but pulled Li Hua to prevent her from cleaning up anymore.

"Gu'er, some of these thorny old buds are a little old, and they can be eaten, Mom has divided them, and when the time comes, you can sell the old ones cheaper, but you can't throw them away."

Li Hua explained to her daughter, because last time she found that her daughter cleaned up the dishes, she picked out the bad ones and threw them away, she felt a pity.

"I see, Mom."

Gu Er nodded, she didn't plan to throw this thorny old bud, just like Li Hua said, it is good to sell it cheaply or give it away as a partner.

"Then I'll go get some food, you clean up."

Li Hua saw that her daughter agreed, stood up and went to the kitchen.

Gu Er looked at the back of her adoptive mother, she found that her adoptive mother's waist was not too straight when she walked, and she knew that her adoptive mother must have bent over for too long just now and was tired.

Gu'er bowed her head, that's why she was reborn and she could support herself but didn't leave the Zhou family, the adoptive mother is a big reason, if she makes too much trouble, even if she leaves the Zhou family in the end, then Zhou Mazi will definitely be angry with her on her adoptive mother, the three sisters and brothers of the Zhou family are like that, and the adoptive mother's days can be imagined.

But if she has been scrupling about her adoptive mother, then she can only let Zhou Mazi handle it, this is not what Zhou Guer wants, she doesn't want to be controlled by others anymore, so she wants to leave the Zhou family at the right time, but it is best to let Zhou Mazi not anger her adoptive mother, otherwise she can't get over it with her conscience.

Gu Er packed up the wild vegetables and loaded them on the wheelbarrow, she went to the kitchen to take a look, and Li Hua had already cooked in the kitchen.

A plate of cabbage stewed with potatoes, a plate of pickles, and a plate of dipping pickles, except that today there are more blanched thorny sprouts in it.

In fact, scrambled eggs are the most delicious, but unfortunately this family is reluctant.

Gu Er didn't wait to eat together, and there were still people in the Zhou family who didn't get up, so it would be too slow to wait to eat together, so she ate two nests, ate a little dipping pickles, and put the dishes she had prepared and a basin full of water on the wheelbarrow and pushed them out.

This time Gu'er went to the city alone, it was different from last time, last time there was Sun Jiaming, the two of them were talking, even if they didn't speak, there was someone to accompany them, Gu'er also had confidence in her heart.

But this time it was herself, every time she passed by the barren land, Gu Er couldn't stop the cool breeze in her heart.

When she arrived in the city and parked the car in the position she had last time, Gu Er rubbed her sore arm, Sun Jiaming really helped a lot last time, and this time she came by herself to push the car alone, and she knew how tired she was.

Gu'er put her things in order, and she wanted to cry when she looked at the basin with water.

Now there is no kettle or anything like that at home, so she used a basin to fill a basin with water, thinking that she would have something to drink today.

But there were several places on the way to the road that were difficult to walk, and there were potholes, and she almost overturned the car several times, and the water in the basin was naturally spilled.

It's hot, she's sweating so much, she really wants to take a sip of water.

Gu Er blinked and blinked all the grievances back, she wants to be strong, isn't there just no water to drink? I didn't drink it last time and I didn't die, so I just need to drink enough when I go back.

Gu'er put the pot away and started business.
