Chapter Twenty-Eight: Your Half
Waiting for Uncle Guo and they loaded the grain and put it on the cart, pushed it and went to her house, which attracted the attention of a group of people on the way, many of them looked at it with envy.
All the way to her house, Guo Xiaoli knocked on the door, "Brother, come out quickly and help carry rice and white noodles!" Her voice was deliberately raised, and she calculated in her heart that at this time, the fifth aunt must have been at home.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Guo Quan has been worried about why Sister A hasn't come back yet, and when he heard the shout, he hurriedly ran out, and when he opened the door, he saw Uncle Guo and Sister Guo standing at the door, "Uncle Guo!" ”
"I bought fifty catties of rice and forty catties of white noodles, and I couldn't move it back, so Uncle Guo kindly sent it to us."
Fei Xiaocui, who was in the next room, slammed the bowl in her hand on the table angrily when she heard this, and the porridge water in it splashed out, the silver should have been hers, if it weren't for the dead star, she would have been really angry, and then look at the clear soup and little water on her table, there was not much rice porridge, and a mouthful of old blood was blocked in her chest.
"What kind of tantrum are you throwing here, why do you really want to be dismissed!" Guo Deze, who had lost his old face, was already in a bad mood, and when he was smashed by her, his black face lost his temper at her.
"Look at this porridge in our house, there is no rice, and you still have the face to say that you want to divorce me? I've lived so many years of hard life with you, serving you every day to eat and drink and wash your clothes, that's how you treat me! Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? Fei Xiaocui glared at him without any falsehood, "That mourning star has bullied me like this!" You're still not a man! ”
Guo Yunfei, who was lying on her stomach with porridge at the bottom, rolled her eyes in her heart, why didn't her family's porridge have any rice, and didn't her mother save the money and send it to her grandmother's house? Otherwise, how could her family still envy the dead family for being able to eat rice on these few acres of land.
"Mother! I can't get enough to eat, I want to eat! Guo Lejia pushed the bowl in his hand unhappily, his fat little face wrinkled, and his voice interrupted their quarrel sharply.
Fei Xiaocui touched his head dotingly and comforted, "Good son, don't make trouble, where can we eat at home." ”
"Don't! I'm hungry! Mother, I want to eat! Guo Lejia's temper came up, and he directly brushed the bowl on the table to the ground, making a clanging sound.
"Yun Fei! You pour half of the porridge in your bowl for your brother! ”
When Guo Yunfei heard this, she immediately protected her bowl, "I don't want it, why!" "She's been tired in the field for so long, just eat such a little porridge is not enough for her to fill her stomach, and give half to her younger brother, so does she have to live," Doesn't Aunt Xu's family have rice? Her family is designated to eat rice tonight, mother, you can go and serve a bowl to your brother! ”
Guo Xiaoci, who was standing in the courtyard, heard the conversation over there clearly, hehe, I still want to come to her house to serve dinner, from today on, with her, don't even think about it, even if she pours the rice, it is impossible to give her family a grain, originally wanted to respond to her best fifth aunt, but now they are a little bit, and she doesn't know enough about their best.
Over there, Uncle Guo poured all the rice into the rice jar, and then put the flour into the small jar on the side, and told Guo Quan that the rice and noodles must be covered with a lid but not let it get wet, and then he was ready to go back.
Guo Xiaoci thanked him and sent him to the door, "Thank you Uncle Guo today~ If you need help in the future, you can also find my family, and you will definitely help if you can help." ”
Guo Hetong waved his hand, "What's polite, you call me uncle, where can I still let you help my family, go back quickly, I'll go back first." ”
"Hey! Good! ”
When Guo Xiaoxi walked inside, she listened to her cousin next door still talking about eating or something, she felt that the urgency of the moment was really to think about how to change the house, and thought that there was an eavesdropper living next door.
Xu Lan, who was in the kitchen, looked at the jar of rice noodles and couldn't believe it, and when she saw Guo Xiaoci walking in, she couldn't help but blame her tone, "Daughter, my mother doesn't blame you for spending more money, there is no need to buy this white noodles, wouldn't it be good to buy that mixed noodles?" The people in that house are still sick and haven't seen any better, so we need to save some money for this money! ”
Guo Xiaoli looked at her helplessly, her mother's thinking should really change, "Mother, where is the white flour in the mixed noodles nutritious, you see that my brother is now nine years old, this body is so thin, who believes that he is a nine-year-old person, now is the time to grow his body, where can I save on food." ”
Guo Quan, who was innocently named, lowered his head blankly and glanced at his figure, is it so exaggerated as Sister A said? In the village, he is considered tall, he is only nine years old, he has a height of more than one meter and four, and his figure is as tall as his uncle's side, and others will not think that he is only nine years old.
Xu Lanhu looked at her son suspiciously, "But this ......"
Guo Xiaoci knew that this was not a thought that could be reversed in a moment, so she simply changed the topic, "Okay~ Mother, don't worry, from today onwards, you don't have to worry about the food at home, I will arrange it here, you see that there is rice at home, mother, are you full at night?" If you don't have it, why don't you stop eating noodles? She remembered that her mother's hand pole noodles were delicious, and she had eaten them a few times before when her family was not so poor, and she remembered it now.
Guo Quan's stomach growled cooperatively, he lowered his head with a little blush, he was really a little hungry......
"That mother will roll noodles to eat, you go out and wait." Where is Xu Lan willing to starve her son, there was no way before, but now that there is food at home, it must be fed.
Guo Xiaoxi responded sweetly, "Hey, okay, mother, my brother and I went out first." She took Guo Quan's hand and walked out.
The summer heat still lingered at night, and the dim oil lamp flickered in the house, and her poor yard was reluctant to light the oil lamp, so she could only look outside by the light from the inside of the house.
Guo Xiaoxi glanced sideways at the room on the east side, "Brother, how is that person now?" Fever? There was a fine sweat on her face, which in ancient times there was no fan or air conditioner, and it was really going to be hot, so she walked around a few times and felt that her underwear was wet.
