Chapter 514 The Republic of China's Hard-working Child Daughter-in-law 4
To Gu Xiaoxiao's surprise, Hua'er closed her eyes and opened her small mouth, and unconsciously drank the viscous medicinal juice, although it was so bitter that she frowned, she didn't mean to resist.
She looked back and thought about it, Hua'er was sick for a few days and couldn't eat porridge and rice, although Xi Niang loved her, she didn't know how to help the child reduce fever and cool down, and the food she fed naturally couldn't enter her stomach. It means that she has been hungry for two or three days, but not everything can be swallowed in her stomach.
This made Gu Xiaoxiao a little sad, hungry to this child, how much sin this child had suffered. Although she has never given birth to a child, she has a natural compassion for the weak, and as a son of man, she knows her mother's concern for her child.
Hua'er drank the medicine in a daze, and called out to her mother in a daze, Gu Xiaoxiao patted her on the back, sang softly to lull her to sleep, and sang like a drum in her stomach.
The fine mother took care of the flowers without sleep, and was beaten by her parents-in-law again, and the meal could not be eaten properly, so it was strange that she was not hungry.
The old couple of the Yang family guarded against the fine mother, the food was locked in the house, and some bran and a small handful of green bean noodles were put in the stove room. Gu Xiaoxiao was so hungry that she could only use water to make green beans and rice into cakes, and cook a bowl of bran with wild vegetables, the taste was really hard to swallow.
Interstellar nourishment has always been criticized, Gu Xiaoxiao always gets some fresh vegetables and meat to satisfy her cravings, and now she chokes on these and eats them, she remembers the taste of the past.
Don't say that the original owner entrusted it, even if it is for herself, Gu Xiaoxiao has to find a way to get out of this tragic situation as soon as possible. The fine mother begged for a living in the hands of her parents-in-law and was often beaten and scolded. is still not full of food and clothing, Gu Xiaoxiao doesn't want to stay for a day.
After getting some things to satisfy her stomach, Gu Xiaoxiao began to calculate. In this world similar to the Republic of China, there is no such thing as cultivating the truth. At present, although Yuqing Town is peaceful, and I have not heard of any major turmoil in the country, but regardless of the war that ignited in the past, even staying in the town is not very safe.
The world is turbulent, full of homeless people, and hooligans are rampant and domineering. If Gu Xiaoxiao wants to break off the relationship with the Yang family, she must have the ability to protect herself, otherwise the orphans and widows will be big fat in the eyes of others when they go to the road.
Getting out of the tiger's den and then entering the wolf's den is not a situation that Gu Xiaoxiao wants to see. She wants to find a way out of this troubled world, and her fists must be hard and her purse must be bulging.
Xi Niang was abducted and trafficked, and she was very sensitive to this matter, whenever she was beaten and scolded by her parents-in-law. She would have thought. What would she have been like if she hadn't been separated from her biological parents.
It's strange to say, Xi Niang doesn't have the impression of her parents in her mind, but she firmly remembers that she was abducted and trafficked after being separated from her family.
This is also one of the wishes of the fine mother, Gu Xiaoxiao inevitably wants to find her biological parents for her. However, the world is big, there is no national household registration network, and there is no DNA comparison, so it will not be easy to find the parents of the fine mother in the chaotic era.
In the middle of the afternoon, Yang's father and Yang's mother came back with their stomachs, and the two of them were full of red faces. Let's start by saying that the bride I saw today has a good buttocks, and her in-laws can hold her eldest grandson in the future. Then he said a short gossip from the parents of the people at the same table.
Hua'er cooled down and took medicine and slept for a while, and finally opened her eyes, and saw that her mother had tears in her eyes, and she barked like a cat: "Niangniang." ”
The fine mother does not understand the literature and ink, and Yang's father and Yang's mother don't like this granddaughter, and usually scolds her at every turn. If Hua'er cries, covering her head and face is fists and feet, so she is a little three-year-old child, she has developed a fear of life, and she does not dare to cry loudly.
Although Hua'er looks stupid, in the memory of Xi Niang, her usual bright eyes are by no means inherently stupid, but she is sick and looks at her, her eyes are red and swollen and she has no energy.
"Well, mother, on this day, don't be afraid of flowers."
"What about the people, where are they all dead, and my father and mother don't know how to pick them up when they come back."
Father Yang and Mother Yang walked to the middle of the courtyard as they spoke, Mother Yang shouted at the top of her voice, and Sang Erniang's son and their eldest grandson shook their hands and said, "Grandpa, grandma, I'll go out first." ”
Sang Erniang just heard the sound and came out of the house, and scolded loudly: "Where are the rabbit cubs drilling, there is an awl under your butt and you can't do work for others at home." ”
Previously, Mother Yang wanted to count down her eldest grandson, but her daughter-in-law took the lead, and said with a straight face: "I said that the second family, Dawang is not young, and he should talk about his mother-in-law, who would dare to marry him if you are so fierce." ”
Sang Erniang was not afraid, and said with her arm on her shoulder: "Mother, this little rabbit cub is not a person himself, what is the daughter-in-law, wait for him to learn the craft, and then give the daughter-in-law." ”
Old man Yang spoke: "I said hello to Lao Wan a few days ago, and in a few days, I will let Dawang learn carpenter from him." ”
Generally speaking, the younger the apprenticeship, the better, and the master likes to take the ten or so years old, who can help with a few more years of work and learn things.
Yang Dawang is fifteen years old, and it is a delay to start an apprentice now, but the Yang family has a Yang Tianlai, whether it is Yang's father and Yang's mother or Sang Erniang herself, they are willing to let the child study more books to make a living, so as to carry forward the old Yang family.
But it backfired, Yang Dawang was not a reading material, he was good at stealing chickens and dogs, and after reading books for so long, he could barely know a few people's names, write a few lines, and read the letter and stumbled there.
Sang Erniang's hope for the child was shattered, and he could only find a way to let him learn the craft so as not to have food and clothing in the future, but Yang Dawang had a temperament that jumped out, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, and at the beginning of the apprenticeship in the pharmacy was suspected of the heavy smell of medicine, and then went to learn to cook with others, and he thought that the kitchen fumes were unpleasant, and he stumbled to learn to play, and he couldn't drag it out at the age of fifteen.
Father Yang and Mother Yang didn't dare to indulge their eldest grandson anymore, so the family decided to let him go to the carpenter, dislike this and that, and learn carpenter.
Gu Xiaoxiao coaxed the flowers in the house and didn't make a sound, but Mother Yang didn't let her get her wish, she scolded and pushed open the door of the chaimen, pinched her waist and shouted: "Have you fed the chickens, have you fed the pigs, the thief Nizi knows that she is hiding here and being lazy, and whose child daughter-in-law is as lazy as you." ”
The four words "delicious" and lazy are definitely slanderous to the fine girl. In Xi Niang's memory, Gu Xiaoxiao clearly saw that she had to get up at dawn to work and pick up the family's food. She also has to clean pots and spoons, feed the poultry and livestock in the yard, except for Sang Erniang, who will give her a hand, others will only command.
"Mother, hungry." Hua'er grabbed Gu Xiaoxiao's shirt in fear, buried her face in her chest, and shouted softly about hunger.
Young's ears are pointed. He spat on the ground and scolded: "What a little debt collector, shouting hungry every day, what will he do except eat." ”
That's too much. Hua'er shrank her head in fright, and Gu Xiaoxiao argued: "Hua'er is only three years old." ”
This is the first time that Xi Niang has spoken back, and Yang leaned back angrily and said, "Okay." You've got a lot of skills. I dare to talk back. "Roll up your sleeves, you have to use a bamboo stick to whip Gu Xiaoxiao.
Gu Xiaoxiao reached out and grabbed the bamboo stick, revealing the injury on his arm and said, "My arm hurts so much that I can't lift it, so I didn't feed the pigs and chickens at home." ”
Yang was old and dizzy, so he took a closer look, and the new injuries on the arms of the fine lady were really heavy and the old ones looked a little terrible, so he muttered: "It's really squeamish." When I was five or six years old, I started cutting pigweed, feeding pigs to cook rice, and doing farm work. ”
Although he likes to pose majestic in front of his daughter-in-law. The two of them were trained to be obedient, but Yang and Xi Niang were not ugly, she was so seriously injured, it was not easy to ask for anything more.
Every time the Yang family mentions that she was a child, she has a stomach full of bitter water, and the chattering Yang family knows that she started working at the age of five or six, and she carries water every day before she is tall.
Speaking of which, the Yang family is also a child daughter-in-law, and her daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years, and finally her mother-in-law and old woman have survived.
Gu Xiaoxiao thought about it again, not to mention that she had no sympathy, the Yang family was even worse than others to Xi Niang, as if she had suffered such a big sin back then, and after decades of suppression, no one would inherit the mantle and continue to be abused, as if she would be unwilling.
Those who were slaves, after turning into slave owners, were often even more brutal than slave owners from the beginning.
Gu Xiaoxiao here sighed with emotion about human nature, and over there Mother Yang scolded and scolded for a while, and after seeing that she had become stuffy again, she went out to send Sang Erniang to feed the pigs and clean the yard.
Sang Erniang is not so obedient, although the work was done, but the Yang family counted her words, she returned it to her as it was, with a son by her side, Sang Erniang was not afraid of arguing with her mother-in-law at all.
What's the quarrel, she has been guarding the second child of the Yang family for so many years, do they dare to drive her out of finding a mother.
In the evening, the Yang family drank porridge, and under the deliberate difficulty of Yang's mother, Gu Xiaoxiao was given two small bowls of rice that could almost show the shadow of a person, and a piece of black-flour steamed bun. She broke the black bread, crumpled it and soaked it in a bowl, fed the flowers and drank it, and coaxed her to sleep.
When Hua'er fell asleep, Gu Xiaoxiao rested her on the bed board and began to stretch her body and move her fists and feet. In the memory of Xi Niang, there are Taoist monks in the village who come to turn into a relationship, and if there is a child in the countryside who has a fever for no reason, or an adult who cries and makes trouble, everyone will go to ask the goddess to call the soul.
In addition, there are many stories of fox spirits seducing people and weasels in the countryside.
People in this era also believe in gods and Buddhas, whether poor or rich, they are keen to burn incense and worship Buddha, asking for the blessing of Buddha or gods.
After going through so many tasks, Gu Xiaoxiao had already discovered the key factor in whether a world could cultivate the truth. In addition to the climate and environment, it has a lot to do with the inhabitants of this world.
For example, Gu Xiaoxiao rarely cultivated the truth in the interstellar era or in the modern era, and the modern era is also known as the end of the law era, and those who have the heart to cultivate the true path can only cultivate some ghost-catching skills at most.
The world of cultivating immortals has one thing in common, that is, first, it must be densely populated, and the people in the second realm must be pious, and the more devout the cultivators, the higher the realm they can achieve.
The Republic of China is the era of breaking feudalism and sweeping away ignorance, advocating science and civilization, Gu Xiaoxiao weighed that this era should be able to cultivate the truth, but it should not be able to cultivate the ability of the heavens and latitudes, and it is already a great deal to enter the foundation building period.
No matter how much guessing there is, it is better to act, Gu Xiaoxiao opened the skylight of the firewood room, sat down cross-legged and began to concentrate on communicating the aura of heaven and earth.
After two hours, Gu Xiaoxiao felt a faint aura, which was both good news and bad news.
The good thing is that Gu Xiaoxiao's speculation is right, this is indeed a world that can cultivate the truth, and the bad thing is that the fine girl is not talented enough, and the body is very good at being a double spirit root or a triple spirit root. In the world of cultivating immortals that can fly to the sky, although the dual spirit root is not as pure as the single spirit root, it can also make up for it by relying on diligence and chance on the way to cultivation.
But this is the Republic of China, an era of decay of etiquette and social changes, and the popularization of science from top to bottom, and the power of people's faith is in a period of contradictions, and the social chaos is half of the aura and half of the evil spirit.
This is a world full of killing, there are people who died in vain everywhere, there are countless lonely souls and wild ghosts on the battlefield, if Gu Xiaoxiao does evil cultivation or ghost cultivation with hot eyes, she can't maintain her mind at all with her fine mother qualifications.
Therefore, Gu Xiaoxiao could only be like a snail, slowly starting from the introduction of qi into the body and crawling on the road of cultivation.
Contentment and happiness, Gu Xiaoxiao is already very satisfied with the current situation, the biggest benefit of Xiuzhen to mortals is that she can nourish the meridians and flesh with aura, she is destined to become a big tool, she will make up for the terrible body that has been losing money for many years, and when the time comes, she can practice kung fu, so that she and Hua'er can be protected.
The night always passed very quickly, and Gu Xiaoxiao was busy until almost dawn, and then she fell asleep groggily, and she didn't even get up to make breakfast.
Yang was not happy in his heart, and he came over early in the morning to slam the door with a shocking sound.
Gu Xiaoxiao was sleeping soundly with the flowers in her arms, and when she heard a knock on the door, she had to get up and open the firewood door.
Yang's face was angry, and he fiercely beat Gu Xiaoxiao and asked her to get up to clean and cook.
She wore a silver bracelet on her hand, and the brand-new foreign cloth used for her clothes was printed with unnamed flowers on it, which made Yang's lining much more foreign.
Gu Xiaoxiao was about to drag her sleepy body to work, when Sang Erniang's voice sounded: "Mother, the meal is ready, come and eat." ”
The second daughter-in-law, who has never liked to work, rarely did a job, Yang's eyes lit up, and he was ready to go to see what was wrong with his daughter-in-law, and by the way, he picked on the thorns.
This is the Yang family, a rural shrew-like person who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and if there is chaos, it will be chaotic.
After Yang turned around, he finally found a few mistakes, and scolded Sang Erniang and her husband with satisfaction.
Compared with Xi Niang, Sang Erniang was even angry with decency, and Yang's anger was for the sake of her grandson, so she only exempted Gu Xiaoxiao from making today's lunch.
Don't let Gu Xiaoxiao, who was hungry, have nothing to eat, and then she had to do everything she could to get something to eat, so as not to make her hungry eyes blue.
