The Yang family didn't like the mother and daughter, so they cut off Gu Xiaoxiao's food, and the flowers also suffered, so they only shared a small bowl of porridge that showed the shadow of the person, and they were also trained by the Yang family.

Hua'er's body was just better, and a small bowl of soup was obviously not full, Gu Xiaoxiao was thinking about how to get it to eat, and by the way, she would make up for Hua'er. A head came from the chaimen, and Yang Dawang called out in a humble voice: "Auntie." ”

Although Yang Dawang is idle and does not touch the family, and he is spoiled by his grandmother and Sang Erniang, he has never bullied his mother before, and he will call his aunt when he meets. However, the fine mother is timid and feudal, and rarely deals with this nephew who is only three years younger than her husband.

There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and if a husband like her is not in front of her, there is not much to do, especially the fine mother and Yang Dawang are still separated by generations.

Gu Xiaoxiao hugged the flowers, and a smile appeared in her eyes: "What's the matter, Dawang." ”

Yang Dawang smiled mysteriously, slipped in, covered the door, and then took out half an egg from his pocket and lowered his voice and said, "Auntie, my mother asked me to bring eggs to my sister." ”

He licked his lips as he spoke, and reluctantly handed over the egg wrapped in yellow, orange and orange.

It stands to reason that Gu Xiaoxiao shouldn't have taken this half of the egg, but Hua'er was hungry at the beginning of her serious illness, she didn't even see a little oil and water, and it was not good for the child's health, so she took the egg from Yang Dawang with a grateful look.

"Thank you for your aunt, thank you for having a heart."

Sang Erniang was one of the few people who helped Xi Niang in the plot, but later Yang Dawang did not succeed. After she ran out in an accident and killed someone, she became eccentric and gloomy, and her temper was very short-tempered. The whole person was a little chattering, and the fine girl was sold again, and the two had nothing to do with each other.

However, this happened before Xi Niang was sold, and it was just an inconsequential background in the plot, and Gu Xiaoxiao didn't know what was going on.

From her point of view, although Yang Dawang has no promising, his facial features are upright and innocent, unlike a fierce and vicious person, if he is said to be evil, he will do evil and kill. Gu Xiaoxiao didn't believe it.

Gu Xiaoxiao stuffed the egg into Hua'er's hand, she held it tightly with her small hands, and she didn't dare to open her mouth when her dark eyes looked at her. Yang Dawang swallowed his saliva, squatted down and coaxed Hua'er and said, "Cat, eat it, it's delicious." ”

"Flowers, thank you, brother."

Hua'er ducked her face into the crook of Gu Xiaoxiao's arm. And did not dare to squeak. This made Gu Xiaoxiao's mood a little heavy, and Hua'er was too timid.

The weather is hot, and the eggs will be bad if they are left behind, Gu Xiaoxiao tore up the egg whites and yolks and fed them to the flowers, Yang Dawang squatted on the ground with a small wooden stick and pulled it casually.

It's not that he is reluctant to give up the half of the egg, nor does he like flowers much, but his mother often follows him to learn carpentry recently, and Yang Dawang is bored. He heard that his father went out to serve in the army more than ten years ago. At that time, the Republic of China had just been established, and there were conscripts everywhere. His father vowed to make a name for himself.

After so many years, there is no news about his father, everyone says that his father has died outside, but Yang Dawang feels that his father must be fighting outside. The stinky boys who have been outside bragged when they came back that the soldiers outside were carrying guns one by one, and they all said that they were defending the country, and his father must have been defending the country outside.

When Yang Dawang was very young, he wanted to go out to fight like his father and be a soldier, and he said it a few times when he was ignorant, but his mother cried every time he heard it, and he didn't dare to mention it.

Now that his family is forcing him to be an apprentice, Yang Dawang wants to be a hero, so he is naturally unhappy, so he can only resist in his own way. Not long ago, he secretly mentioned it to his grandparents, and the way they cried and wiped away their tears made him silent and dare not speak again.

Yang Dawang drew a small branch on the ground, and after a while, he drew a gun, but it was only in shape, and then he drew a soldier with a spirit in three or two strokes.

After Gu Xiaoxiao finished feeding the flowers, she looked down at Yang Dawang's works, and asked in her heart: "Dawang, what are you painting soldiers?" ”

The people in Yuqing Town speak straightforwardly, without any modifiers, Gu Xiaoxiao is afraid of being warped, so she can only imitate the original owner to speak.

Yang Dawang broke off the small branch, and said hehe: "I heard them say that they are very angry when they are soldiers, and they will be given silver dollars every month and guns." Bang, hit the devils who ran to our country. ”

He made a gesture of aim, his eyes bright as if there was a fire burning.

This kid wants to be a soldier, Gu Xiaoxiao feels more and more that Yang Dawang is not like the kind of bastard who cares about human life: "Stretch out your arm and let your aunt take a look." ”

Recuperating is a slow job, and before that, Gu Xiao knew how to find a collaborator. Father Yang and Mother Yang definitely can't wait to see Xiniang and Hua'er, Sang Erniang is a smart person who doesn't cause trouble, even if she says something, it is difficult to impress her.

But Yang Dawang is different, although he is a half-grown child, he is powerful and courageous, and at the same time simple-minded, he is the best helper.

Yang Dawang did not hesitate to stretch out his swarthy arm that was tanned by the sun, Gu Xiaoxiao grabbed Yang Dawang's wrist, pinched the acupuncture points on his wrist and lightly tapped it a few times.

"Ha, numb, what are you doing here, auntie." The acupuncture point was knocked, and Yang Dawang retracted his arm under conditional launch, and to his surprise, the skinny aunt's hand was very strong, and he didn't pull out his hand at once.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Yang Dawang's root bones and was a little disappointed, he was born strong but the roots and bones can only be said to be average, there is no special place, he can only practice foreign boxing, don't even think about internal strength, let go of his hand and said: "Look at whether you have grown flesh recently, whether you have grown stronger." ”

Disappointed, Gu Xiaoxiao lowered his eyelids and just saw the gun drawn by Yang Dawang on the ground, remembering that now he has begun to enter the era of hot weapons, unless he is born a martial arts wizard, what if he has internal strength, his head will still bloom after a shot, and there will be no more when he is bombarded.

"Of course I'm getting stronger, auntie, everyone says I'm like my father, do you think I look like me?"

Yang Dawang asked expectantly, Gu Xiaoxiao shook his head: "When I came, your father was already a soldier and I haven't seen it, but I heard from your neighbors." You're a lot like your father. ”

Hearing this, Yang Dawang puffed up his chest proudly: "My father must be a powerful soldier, but my mother doesn't want me to join the army." ”

Yang Dawang's thick eyebrows and big eyes are funny, and they are huddled together. Sad, like a little daughter-in-law, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Gu Xiaoxiao was about to open her mouth to comfort, but in the front yard, Sang Erniang shouted at the top of her voice: "What are you hiding lazy little rabbit cub, let me go to your master's house to learn to work." ”

Hearing his own mother shouting outside, Yang Dawang said sullenly: "Auntie, I'll go first, you can take the cat sister well." ”

The door opened and closed, and not long after Yang Dawang went out, the sound of Sang Erniang training the child sounded in the courtyard again. Yang Dawang begged for mercy, begging not to drag his ears.

There were only two Gu Xiaoxiao and Hua'er left in the firewood room, and Hua'er was full after eating half an egg. I fell asleep with my eyes closed.

Gu Xiaoxiao wanted to make money on an empty stomach and left the Yang family, and her stomach was full of sorrow, and she didn't know where to explain.

When it comes to the means of making money, Gu Xiaoxiao has a lot. She can embroider, know some medical skills, and can also teach foreign languages. Counting on your fingers is not enough. But these things, counting up to embroidery still rely on a little spectrum, everyone around knows that the fine girl is clever, but the brain is stupid, and she can't draw delicate patterns.

If anyone asks her to do the work, they will take the initiative to make tricks, but the things they make are very cute.

Gu Xiaoxiao was comparing the wages of the work in the town in her heart, and she was calculating in her heart. How to secretly save private money. The money earned by the fine mother was taken away by Yang's father and Yang's mother, and she helped her manage it in her name so as not to lose it.

She wanted to take out the little money from Yang's father and Yang's mother. It is impossible to do it, and how to make some private money with craftsmanship has become a problem.

There were baskets and embroidery screens in the firewood room, and a few rolls of silk thread and some leftovers were put in the small needlework basket.

After a rough comparison, she decided to make a delicate double-sided embroidered flower purse to hide, and the next time she took over the embroidery work, she secretly sold the small purse for some copper dollars, and by the way, tried to cooperate with the other party.

Gu Xiaoxiao is very confident in her craft, she believes that the other party will not be willing to miss a good opportunity for cooperation, but she is afraid that the other party will bypass her and talk directly to Yang's mother.

She decided that when the time came, she must tell her mother-in-law that she had double-sided embroidery, and she would never make double-sided embroidery again.

It's not that Gu Xiaoxiao boasts, within a radius of dozens of miles, she has this double-sided embroidery skill, and others can barely be called a country embroiderer.

Yang Tianlai wrote home again to ask for money, Yang's father and Yang's mother were mixed, and the son's letter said that Mr. valued him very much and might send him to study abroad.

In order to make the child live more comfortably outside, the old couple worked hard, and also forced the fine mother to take on more embroidery work, let her work with a kerosene lamp to make money for Yang Tianlai to study.

Gu Xiaoxiao was discussing embroidery samples when she talked to Sister-in-law Wang from the county town. The generations of people here are chaotic. There are those who are called aunts when they are just over their early twenties, and there are also sisters-in-law who are in their forties.

Sister-in-law Wang is such a person, she has a very respected status in Yuqing Town, second only to the matchmaker who tells people about her family.

This is still in the case of more foreign cloth and foreign goods, if it was before, Sister-in-law Wang was well-informed, and she could connect with big families and introduce live people to the eldest daughter-in-law and little girl, which was more popular in the past.

Although foreign cloth and foreign money bags are popular, Yuhe County is not a coastal city after all, and there are still a few who really accept Westernization from the bottom of their hearts. There are many big families, and when the revolution was at its worst, they cut their braids and added some foreign things to their homes, but they still like the things left by their ancestors in their bones.

Gu Xiaoxiao is skilled, and the stitches are very well hidden, and the patterns spelled out are also beautiful, and Sister-in-law Wang quickly sold her for a good price, and she was very satisfied.

Sister-in-law Wang also suspected how the fine lady learned double-sided embroidery coldly, she is usually sneering in everyone's eyes. Gu Xiaoxiao also found a reason, saying that there was a small piece of double-sided embroidery hidden at home, she loved to ponder, and she found some ways to take it every day.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't lie, the Yang family did have a handkerchief embroidered on both sides, but her craftsmanship couldn't be compared with her at all. In order to make Sister-in-law Wang tempted, Gu Xiaoxiao made a double-sided embroidered purse for the first time, and only asked her for 10 copper yuan, which was almost given for nothing.

Ordinary embroidery work is no challenge for Gu Xiaoxiao, in the past, Xi Niang had to do work for two or three days, and she could finish it in one day.

But a fool would do such a thankless job, Gu Xiaoxiao hid in the firewood room and worked slowly, deliberately controlling the speed, so as not to do it too quickly and fall into a bunch of work to do.

To suffer a loss is to take advantage, Gu Xiaoxiao almost jumped off the building on the double-sided embroidered purse, so that Sister-in-law Wang got a good face and was praised by the customers, so when there was a business, Sister-in-law Wang was the first to think of Gu Xiaoxiao.

However, this mission can't be done at home, it needs to go to the county seat, Gu Xiaoxiao can't ask for it, but Yang's father and Yang's mother are not very happy.

Their daughter-in-law of the Yang family is so dignified that she stays at home, and she can just see what she should do. If Xi Niang goes to the county seat, they will not be able to control it, what if she does something ugly when she is out in the wilderness.

Gu Xiaoxiao was reluctant to let go of this opportunity, and Sister-in-law Wang also tried her best to persuade her, and Yang's father and Yang's mother were a little shaken. But what really made them let down their guard and was willing to let Xi Niang out was that Yang Tianlai wrote home again to urge for money.

The son is the life of the old couple, in order to let Yang Tianlai live a comfortable life outside, so as not to be hungry and freezing, the two still let them go.

Gu Xiaoxiao also had a request, she proposed to bring flowers to the county seat to do things, and the main family would take care of the food for the two.

Sister-in-law Wang agreed very happily, this is just a trivial matter, and it is the Jiang family, a well-known wealthy family in the county, who asked her to find an embroidery girl. In three months, Miss Jiang is about to leave the cabinet, and she found an embroidery girl, the purpose of which is to embroider the wedding dress and the small pieces in the dowry, in order to show her ingenuity.

The bride's husband's family is not in the county, but it is not far from the next county, and Yang's father and Yang's mother can't wait for Gu Xiaoxiao to bring the flowers with them, so that they don't have to be noisy by the flowers at home and take care of her to eat and drink.

The county town is much more prosperous than Yuqing Town, Gu Xiaoxiao saw female students in blue clothes and black dresses on the street, they all had short ear-length hair and were full of vitality, and their eyes were as bright as the rising sun.

Wherever the female students went, they were chattering, holding their heads up, so that people didn't dare to underestimate them.

The Jiang family is quite big, this is Gu Xiaoxiao's experience after entering the Jiang house, the Jiang family is strong, she wants to embroider a very good wedding dress, and the people who live in her husband's family when she gets married.

Gu Xiaoxiao's double-sided embroidery skills are very exquisite, and she can take the lead in Yuhe County, Miss Jiang is very satisfied, and she will reward her with some silver coins when she is happy. (To be continued.) )
