Chapter 59: Asking for Adoption
The third grandmother only supported one daughter in her life, and because she fled the famine, she was separated from her daughter's family, and she couldn't see those people treating her daughter like this.
The third grandfather said: "Some of the old people in the disaster have already gone to find the families of those girls, and there will be results tonight, and they will not let those families really leave their children here." ”
Chen was holding a wooden bowl and waiting for dinner, and when he heard the words of the third grandfather, he immediately said what he heard: "I heard that there is a girl's father and mother who have dragged the family away. The family's surname was Ma, and it was said that they had no food and couldn't afford to support her, so they didn't bring the girl back. ”
Chen snorted: "Where is there no food here?" It must be afraid of embarrassment! ”
Everyone is a victim of the famine, who has food? The families of the other girls did not take the girl back in the same way, but not only did this family not receive it, but as soon as they heard about it, they immediately packed up their things and ran away.
When the third grandmother heard this, tears fell: "Create evil." ”
There is water in this mountain, and there is no food to drink to satisfy hunger, so how can you bear to throw the girl down like this?
The third grandfather didn't want to say much about it, so he urged the third grandmother: "Don't say it, it's getting dark, hurry up and see if the beans are ripe?" Everyone is hungry. ”
Because of Sister Liu'er and her group, the victims couldn't rest last night, and they didn't rush today, but continued to stay in this mountain to rest.
The third grandmother's mouth moved a few times, she wanted to say something and swallowed it again, stirred the bean soup in the pot with a wooden spoon, scooped out a few beans, and crushed them with her hands, and the bulging beans were crushed.
"The beans are ripe, let's eat."
Chen immediately rushed to the front with a wooden bowl, wanting to snatch the spoon in the third grandmother's hand, serve bean soup by himself, and hold more beans by himself.
The third grandmother raised the wooden spoon in her hand, dodged Chen's hand, and scolded: "Chen, you behave, if you make trouble again, you will be hungry tonight." ”
The grain is bought by several families with money, and there is a fixed amount of money for each person, and every time the Chen family opens a meal, he wants to take advantage of it, which is annoying.
Chen was thick-skinned, and when he was scolded, he said with a smile: "Third uncle, I'm not hungry, look at my eye sockets, I'm so hungry that I'm sunken, you give me more beans, I want to make up for it." ”
The third grandmother was too lazy to take care of her, so she served her a bowl of bean soup.
Chen pursed his lips, muttered that there were so few beans, and walked away with the bowl.
When several families heard the words of the third grandmother, they took a wooden bowl or a cut bamboo tube and began to line up to receive the bean soup.
After Gu Jinli's family received the bean soup, the family of six sat together, drinking the bean soup in small sips.
Gu Dashan was afraid that the children would not be able to eat, so he wanted to pour a little bean soup from his bowl into the bowl of the four children, but Gu Jinan avoided it and said, "Dad, you don't have enough to eat yourself, don't take care of us anymore." ”
This wooden bowl is not very big, my father is an adult, and he has a large amount of food, so if he gives them a little, what else will he eat?
When Gu Dashan heard his words, he lowered his head and said, "It's that Dad is useless, he didn't take care of you." ”
Last night's incident, he blamed himself very much, if it weren't for Xiaoyu's cleverness, Sister Xiu'er's life would be ruined.
Gu Dashan felt that he was very useless, and at the critical moment, he had to rely on his younger daughter to save his eldest daughter, so he wanted to give them a little bit of his own food, which could be regarded as a kind of care for them.
Gu Jinli saw Gu Dashan's thoughts, and handed his wooden bowl to Gu Dashan: "Dad, I'm too hungry today, you give me some bean soup." ”
When Gu Dashan heard this, a smile appeared on his bitter face, and he hurriedly poured the bean soup from his bowl into Gu Jinli's bowl, filling her wooden bowl to the brim, almost overflowing.
Gu Jinxiu is a delicate and sensitive person, seeing this, she also handed the wooden bowl to Gu Dashan: "Dad, give me a little too." ”
Gu Dashan smiled even deeper, and poured a little bean soup into Gu Jinxiu's bowl.
Gu Jinxiu held the wooden bowl, didn't eat, was silent for a while, and said to Gu Dashan: "Dad, I'm fine, it's okay." ”
Gu Dashan's eyes turned red, and he said: "Our embroidery sister and Xiaoyu are both good girls, blessed people, and they will be fine in this life." ”
Cui Shi burst into tears, she was afraid for a whole day after hearing what happened to those girls.
Brother Cheng saw Cui's crying, and raised his hand to wipe her tears: "Mother doesn't cry, Brother Cheng has grown up, and he will protect the eldest sister and second sister in the future." ”
Cui Shi smiled, hugged Brother Cheng, and said, "Our Brother Cheng is so well-behaved, drink bean soup quickly, it will be fishy when it is cold." "The beans smell like beans when they are cold, and they don't taste very good.
"Well, I listen to my mother." Cheng Ge'er held a wooden bowl and drank bean soup.
Cui was afraid that Gu Dashan would not be able to eat enough, so he wanted to pour him some bean soup in his bowl, but Gu Dashan didn't want it: "You eat yours, I'm enough." ”
Cui's hasn't had a good life since he followed him, and now he's so thin that he's out of shape, how can he bear to eat the food in her bowl again?
Cui Shi tried to pour it twice, but after being blocked by Gu Dashan, he had to eat it himself.
After they finished eating the bean soup, Zhou Lao Lin came to the rest place of their families in the night, and told them about the ten girls: "The four girls who were abducted first made step-rooms for the widowers in the disaster. ”
fled all the way, and many men among the victims beat up singles, and married a girl who had been abducted as a stepfamily, which was not a loss.
"Of the four girls who were given to Sister Liu by their parents, three were brought back, and the rest of the family, the family had already run away and couldn't find it, but the girl was stubborn and didn't want to be a steproom for the widower, saying that she was going to follow the victims and wait until she got to the south to make plans."
The third grandfather frowned: "She is a girl's family, and she won't find someone to marry at this time, so she will follow the victims alone, and there will be an accident on the way." ”
Don't think that the victims killed Sister Liu and her group together are all good people, there are many bad people among the victims, a single girl followed the victims on the way, I'm afraid that she will be eaten to the bones.
Lin Lao said: "Everyone told her this and persuaded her, but she didn't listen, saying that she would not be a stepmother for a widower or a stepmother." ”
"What about the remaining two girls who are disliked by the family?" Chen's gossip was the most gossipy, and couldn't help but ask.
Disgusted by my family, this one is more interesting, I don't know how it was broken? Did the girl take it back?
Lin Lao smiled with a look of relief: "I brought it back, the old brothers in the disaster victims, and a few of the village chiefs, personally found the families of the two girls, talked to them, and gave them some of the food and silver money found from the cave, and the father and mother of the two families took the money and food and brought the girl back." ”
Gu Jinli frowned when he heard this, and only gave money and food to receive people, so when the money and food were gone, would he throw the girl away again?
Don't blame her for thinking so, the father and mother of those two girls already dislike them from the bottom of their hearts, and they are likely to do something to abandon them again.
After Zhou Lao Lin finished talking about the matter, he chatted with the third grandfather and Qin Lao for a few more words, got up and left, and went back to the resting place of the two of them.
After they left, the third grandfather arranged the manpower for the vigil, and several families began to rest.
The next day, the victims woke up early, began to pack their things, and continued on their way.
On the way, sure enough, I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, carrying a sack, hurrying alone.
The Chen family was well-informed, and told them that night that the girl was the one who was thrown by the family, named Ma Cuilan.
After listening to the gossip relayed by the Chen family, several families were curious about Ma Cuilan for a while, and then they stopped paying attention to her. After all, they don't know Ma Cuilan, so they won't have anything to do with each other.
But within a few days, Ma Cuilan knelt in front of the third grandmother with a sack and begged the third grandmother to adopt her.
