177. Chapter 177
"It's out of the way, auntie." Gu Tai Kite smiled good-naturedly, then thought about it and looked down at Erdan and said, "Hmm...... My sister will weave a wreath for you, right? ”
When Erdan heard this, he was very excited, and jumped up excitedly while clapping his hands, "Oh...... Okay, okay, my sister is going to weave a wreath for me. ”
Gu Weiyi picked up the dog's tail grass that was still on the ground by Erdan just now, and then quickly braided a wreath and put it on Erdan, not forgetting to ask with a smile, "Do you like it?" ”
Erdan looked at the garland on the top of his head, thinking to himself that he almost looked at the big flowers of the house next door to weave this thing, it was really nothing unusual, but ...... Erdan looked at Gu Tai Kite's gentle smiling face, and looked stunned in place, and the corners of his mouth even drooled unconsciously, "I like it...... It's so pretty...... Hehe...... It's so beautiful......"
Hearing this, Gu Weiqi gently stroked Erdan's head, very loving, and didn't mind his saliva mouth full of stupid and stupid appearance.
Aunt Liu watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, the people in the village disliked their two eggs, saying that the two eggs were fools, and there was only this little girl, although I don't know where she came from, but at first glance she was a child from the city, even if she was not rich and rich, at least she was a good child of a scholarly family. It's hard for her to dislike Erdan's stupidity at all, and the sincere love for Erdan in her eyes is even touching for her as a mother.
However, this child was also a miserable person, and she still remembered that when she was brought here by the man that day, she was covered in blood, her face was pale, and she was unconscious. She knew what was going on at a glance, so she quickly used some local methods to stop the bleeding and boil medicine.
The first thing she said when she woke up was to ask her if her baby was still there, she had been honest for most of her life, and she didn't know how to deceive, so she had to nod honestly, she still can't forget her expression when she heard her baby gone, the kind of despair that went deep into the bone marrow, just like the despair when she was old but found out that she was an idiot, she looked distressed, but just after a lunch, she suddenly figured it out, she said, "I didn't protect this child, it's my unqualified mother." I can't be a mother, it's my life. Perhaps, this is fine, he doesn't want to find out that his mother can't give him a stable home as soon as he is born. That's good. ”
She thought at that time, there must have been too many stories in this girl, otherwise, how could she feel that she was full of stories? And how do you feel like she's always reminiscing?
Although she doesn't read much, she also knows that only when she is old will she always love to remember, just like her mother at the beginning, she always loves to remember their sisters.
Aunt Liu looked at the time, turned around and went into the kitchen, she had been busy all morning, and it was time to cook.
Seeing this, Gu Tail Kite also followed, and said, "Auntie, I'll light a fire for you." ”
Aunt Liu was scooping water from the tank, and when she heard Gu Wei's voice, she hurriedly said, "Eh, don't don't, you still have to take care of your body, but don't be tired." ”
Gu Weiyi insisted on sitting at the mouth of the stove and said with a smile, "It's not tiring to burn a fire, besides, I've been in bed for several days, and if I don't do something, I'll go crazy." Well, the main thing is that I'm hungry too, the two of us can work together, and we can cook faster, and Erdan should be a little hungry too. ”
Aunt Liu saw that Gu Weikite was so persistent, so she was no longer reluctant, this girl seemed to be easy-going, but she was actually a persistent master.
After a while, there was a strong smell of rice in the pot, and Gu Weiyi chatted with Aunt Liu casually while adding firewood, "By the way, Auntie, I saw you and Erdan at home, where is Erdan's father?" Did you go out to work? ”
In such mountains, there is no financial resources, and it is common for some men to go out to the city to work and earn some money to send home.
"Well, yes, I went to work, it's been about ten years, I can't remember exactly how many years, anyway, I haven't come back, so I can't remember." Aunt Liu said lightly.
Gu Weiyuan pursed her lips, and intuitively felt that she had asked more questions that she shouldn't have asked, no wonder, Aunt Liu and Erdan were poorer than other families here, a family, with no financial resources and no man to support them, naturally it was impossible to be any better.
Aunt Liu glanced at Gu Weiji, who had lowered her eyes, and continued to say indifferently, "Girl, Auntie knows that you didn't mean to mention it, don't feel guilty." I'm used to it, and I don't feel sad or anything. My father and I both had two eggs when we were in our thirties, maybe now you people in the city think that it is very common to have children in our thirties, but in our rural areas, this situation is rare, let's say our village, this is the case in our family, when the son is in his thirties, his son will go to junior high school. At that time, when I was pregnant with the second egg, you don't know how happy we were, but who knows, maybe it was not raised when I was pregnant, the second egg was born like this, we went to the town to ask the doctor to see, the doctor said that it was a lack of oxygen when pregnant, who knows if it is. In short, we are all very sad about the appearance of Erdan, and other people in the village say that it is better to have another one, and Erdan's father was actually shaken, but after all, it is his own child, even if it is sad, I still don't want to give him back, after all, it is a piece of meat that fell from my own body when I was pregnant in October, and this feeling is something that those men can't experience. ”
Gu Weikite added fuel to the fire, and her heart was also very sad, she had been resting here for a few days, and she didn't chat with Aunt Liu much, but she didn't expect that Aunt Liu would have such an experience.
Aunt Liu picked up the steamed rice, and continued, "Later, about half a month later, before I was out of confinement, his father said that he would go to the city to work to earn money to treat Erdan, and I always had a bad premonition at that time, so I kept blocking him from leaving." But once people are iron-hearted, what's the use of you blocking it, so his father still left, and when he left, he promised me with tears in his eyes that he would definitely earn a lot of money and come back, and he must cure the second egg. However, he never came back. ”
Aunt Liu said plainly, as if she was just telling someone else's business.
Is it possible that any kind of pain can be healed after a long time, Gu Weiyuan doesn't know, but she can no longer see the slightest sadness and expectation in Aunt Liu's eyes. Or, life is too cruel, she needs to use too much energy to survive to take care of Erdan, and it takes too much strength to let her mother and son live well, so in the end, she has long lost the energy to think about that man, to look forward to that man, and even to find that man.
"So girl, there's actually nothing in this world that can't get by." Aunt Liu put the cut lean meat into the pot, choked on the oil smoke and squinted her eyes slightly, tilted her head back a little, trying to avoid the attack of the oil smoke, "Auntie knows that you are not a shaft, but Auntie can also see that you are not so uncomfortable in your heart, at least not as good as you seem to be." After all, once a woman loses a child, she doesn't lose a piece of flesh on her body. Auntie, I don't know what happened to you, but it's definitely not a good thing to think about, but it doesn't matter, you see, this mountain, everyone thinks it's not good, no money, no network, no signal, and backward, but you just say this day, if it's in the city, maybe it's so hot and panicked, I'm afraid I don't even dare to go out of the door, but it's different in this mountain, the sun is good, but I don't feel hot at all, and the air is very good. Don't look at us backward here, but the old people in our village have lived a long life, of course, my mother is an exception. You said that the medical conditions in your city are better than ours, but this disease is also strange, and the old doctor is not good, you say, right? ”
Gu Weiyi chuckled lightly, nodded in agreement, and said, "What Auntie said is true." ”
It is said that it is terrible to be uneducated, but although this Aunt Liu is also uneducated, many things are more transparent than her, who has obtained a doctorate.
The meal was quickly prepared, and Erdan was still sitting on the threshold of his house playing with the dog tail grass wreath that Gu Tail Kite had braided for him. Gu Weikite came out with the dishes, beckoned to Erdan, "Erdan, come and eat." ”
As soon as Erdan heard Gu Tai Kite call him, he stood up excitedly, and was about to run inside, but suddenly saw a tall figure walking towards his house, he turned around and ran towards the man, and said excitedly as he ran, "Brother, you're here!" ”
"Well, yes, have you been good these days?"
"Yes, I'm very good!" Erdan nodded seriously.
The man smiled and touched his head, and took out a packet of candy from his bag, "Well, for your sake, it's a reward for you." ”
"Oh...... There's sugar to eat! "The second egg passed the candy and ran happily.
Seeing this in the house, Gu Tail Kite said angrily, "Erdan, you have to eat before you can eat sugar, do you hear?" She said and looked at the man again, "You know that he likes to eat candy, and you give it back to him, but he hasn't eaten yet." ”
"Why don't you ask me if I've eaten it?" The man said, looking very aggrieved.
Gu Weikite looked a little funny, this man, is he coquettish, but he thought that after all, it was the time for lunch, and he had only arrived here now, but he must have been on the road all morning, so he had to chuckle and say, "Then Mr. Song, are you eating?" ”
"I was on the road all morning, and I didn't even have to drink saliva." Song Jingge shrugged helplessly.
Gu Weiyuan glanced at him with a smile and said, "Then why don't you come in and eat." As he spoke, he looked at Erdan, who was eating sugar hard, and said depressedly, "Erdan, don't eat it, you eat first, and let you eat sugar for dinner, otherwise, I can ask Brother Song to collect it for you, and I won't buy you candy in the future." ”
