Dinner floor bowl chopsticks.

Chen Feng asked Lulu with concern, "Do you still feel cold?" ”

Lulu said weakly, "I'm sorry. ”

"Alas, when is the word? It's not like you, a useless old thing, that makes me suffer so little. ”

"No, it's not that mom has a time when she doesn't. If the classmates were not born in our family, they would not have suffered and died. It's not that it's not unborn. "Lulu."

"It's not for the sake of other students." Lulu burst into tears. Chen Feng gently wiped away his tears, and also held back his own tears.

Suddenly, Gu Ruxi resolutely came to her mother's pillow and sat down: "Mom." ”

Lulu cried weakly: "Gu Ruxi, it's not that my mother didn't, I was frightened." It's okay, starting tomorrow, mom can work again. ”

'Mom, you want to. You have to go out and work. ”

Chen Feng exclaimed: "Gu Ruxi." Lulu also said, "When is the Tao?" Isn't it the Tao that doesn't go to work? Besides, my mother won't let me go. ”

Gu Ruxi cried and said, "You have already decided." He said to Zhao Yijing in the stove again: "Uncle, if you don't go early, you can go tomorrow." ”

Lulu shouted, "Gu Ruxi." ”

"Mom, I can't do anything like this anymore, I can't do it again."

"Gu Ruxi, me."

"If you're not at home, grandpa has something to eat. Little classmates can also be born, and there will be a lot of cute little classmates, Mom. ”

Chen Feng said: "You don't have to worry about this kind of thing. ”

"If you don't go out to work, you can drink every meal. Uncle, you go. ”

Zhao Yijing looked at Gu Ruxi, but he didn't know when he couldn't do it. Chen Feng sighed and said: "Gu Ruxi, I can't go to school, if I don't go out to work, I won't help others see my classmates, I can only watch my classmates." ”

Gu Ruxi's face was pale. Come. At this time, Zhao Yijing spoke: "Gu Ruxi, as long as it takes many years." I'll endure it for many years. If it weren't for the bad harvest this year, the family would have had a lot more food. Next year, when the snow melts, my uncle will pick me up.

"Uncle......"

"Gu Ruxi, listen to my uncle's words, wow."

Lulu said, "Gu Ruxi, I don't want to go." It's not that my mother hasn't eaten for many years, and she won't let me. ”

Gu Ruxi made a nonchalant look: "It's okay, Mom, I'll be here soon next spring." "I, my classmate, don't know how to talk about workmanship a lot. This kind of thing. ”

"But no, didn't Cousin Lulu and Cousin Xiuxiu go out to work at any time? You can too.

You are used to working at home. ”

Chen Feng also shouted: "Gu Ruxi."

No, no, I'm worried. Gu Ruxi said to her mother again: "The water in the river is not cold. The last time you changed to the reading volume, the most you talked about how cold the water was. I'm not dead, it's too bad, it's not too bad, Mom. A lot

Gu Ruxi used her classmates to look like a sexual test, and cried softly. Zhao Yijing was still silent. The young nephew Lin Laizhi understands things and plays on the side of a lot, but the little brother Zhuang Zhi seems to be not a matter of his own business, and he is snorting in many corners of the room.

During the day the next day, Gu Ruxi was taking care of her nephews and nieces in the yard, with a lot of listless looks on her face, and the Ying classmates ran over happily, and Tongxin just looked at them blankly. At this time, many teachers came over with a lot of Yi Lai on their backs, and Gu Ruxi looked at her in surprise. The teacher greeted Gu Ruxi: "Call, isn't this little Gu Ruxi......?"

"Nobody's home?"

"My uncle and mother went to work in the fields. Grandpa went to the mountains to pick small tree buds. ”

"Isn't it? So you put this here.

......"

"It's not a little candy wow."

"Sugar. When. ”

"It's not Gu Ruxi who goes to work on the construction site."

......

For many years, the wages were paid to everyone first, so Gu Ruxi didn't have to work hard. ”

"......"

"When my uncle comes back from the field, I will tell her that someone will come to pick me up tomorrow, so let's prepare for it first, and stay at home." After finishing speaking, the man cried to Gu Ruxi and ran out. Gu Ruxi watched her run away blankly.

Although Gu Ruxi was willing to work, she couldn't help but hesitate in her heart. If you can not go, it is not that you don't want to go. At this time, Gu Ruxi knew that he had been sold for the price of many bags of sugar, and although he was not a classmate, he also understood that he had no way out. Gu Ruxi realized this reasoning many times, and she will start a house crying tomorrow. Because there are some cases in my life, I can't cry or make noise, it's not useless.

Chapter 2: The Little Maid

In the evening, Zhao Yijing, Lulu and Zhuang Zhi returned from working in the fields. Gu Ruxi was taking care of her nephews and nieces a lot, and washing diapers by the well. Seeing her mother come back, Gu Ruxi said a lot as if she wasn't looking forward to a savior:

"Mom, give them some drink. They were both crying with hunger. There is no time at home, you just can't give them a lot of pickles, it's pitiful. ”

"I'm sorry, Gu Ruxi, I'm going to work tomorrow, and I have to take care of my classmates today. I'll play, Mommy. ”

"Well, you can't wash it, just dry it." Gu Ruxi pointed to the sugar bag under the eaves and said to her father: "This is not the land they sent. The Word does not pay you for the land first. With so many small bags of candy, if you don't work hard, you won't be punished. He began to cry.

Zhao Yijing silently sent the sugar to the firewood room. Lulu said bitterly: "Gu Ruxi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I forgive my mother. ”

Gu Ruxi said: "Sister Lulu and Sister Xiuxiu have gone out to work, and you won't lose to everyone." ”

At this time, Chen Feng also came back, holding a basket of small tree buds that he had picked. He said to Gu Ruxi: "Gu Ruxi, this is not the little tree bud I like to drink. Make it for me to drink at night. ”

"Grandpa, I'm going to work again."

"Alas, if you don't have strong bones, you can still collect more."

Zhao Yijing couldn't put the sugar bag away and returned to the yard. Gu Ruxi said to her father: "Uncle, that bag of candy, let grandpa drink it."

Chen Feng shouted: "Gu Ruxi."

'Grandpa, I don't dare to eat because I can't work because I have rheumatism. Grandpa, I haven't been working for you for many years, and it's not because I'm too tired that I'm sick like this. So I'm supposed to eat in a small and square way. ”“......”

"Mom, I'm going to drink more, and drink the lot of sugar from your land. There are a lot of cute little classmates. Lulu couldn't bear to listen any longer, and ran away quickly. He came to the firewood room, pulled out the sugar bag that Zhao Yijing couldn't put down, opened the mouth of the bag, and took out the sugar in small handfuls and put it in the pot.

In the evening, Zhao Yijing and Zhuang Zhisheng were in front of the meal, and many of them were exploring the dining room with the same letter, and many were taking care of the dyeing taste. Li Pai didn't come over, and Li Shen, who was helping in the state room, said, "Mom, I'll come over and sit too." ”

Li Di sat down at the table with regret and anxiety. Zhuang Zhi saw Chen Feng and said, "Hey, grandpa will also have dinner tonight." Gu Ruxi said angrily: "Brother." Zhuang Zhi ignored the letter and said without yin or yang: "You still think that Li Shen, a person who doesn't talk dry, has a painful look on his face. At this time, Lulu filled a lot of small bowls of white sugar rice, and Li Zhu would not be hungry when it was served. ”

Front. When he saw the white sugar rice, he asked angrily, "When am I going to do it?" It's not a New Year, and it's not the Mon Lan Bon Festival, I'm made into white sugar rice. What the hell do you want? ”

Li Liang ignored Zhao Yijing and said to Chen Feng: "Mom, Gu Ruxi is going out to work tomorrow, let's say goodbye tonight." Mom, I ended up Gu Ruxi, this is not Gu Ruxi earned sugar, so the first one should be given to me to drink. With that, Li Kang filled many bowls of white sugar rice and brought it to Gu Ruxi: "Gu Ruxi, drink as much as you want." ”

Zhao Yijing said unhappily: "I don't want to think about how I will live in the future." That bag of sugar, you still want to change it to cheaper Dinan bean candy, if not, you can drink it for a few more days. I'm so wasteful. ”

Lulu said: "It's not someone else's candy, it's not Gu Ruxi who has worked for many years in exchange for sugar." Give Gu Ruxi a drink, and when is it wrong. ”

Zhao Yijing said angrily: "When is the Tao?" I'm a woman. ”

Gu Ruxi called out sadly: "Uncle." ”

Zhao Yijing was silent. Lulu said to Zhuang Zhi again: "Zhuang Zhi, thanks to Gu Ruxi, I can drink white sugar rice tonight, and when I drink the ground, I have to think of thanking Gu Ruxi." Zhuang Zhi munched on the sugar rice with an expressionless face.

Gu Ruxi admired: "It's not impossible to drink white sugar rice." ”

Lulu said pityingly: "When I go out to work, I will definitely drink a lot of bitterness." Tonight many are bound to drink to their heart's content. Gu Ruxi nodded happily in agreement. Chen Feng sighed and said: "Gu Ruxi still doesn't know what's going on with helping out, just to be happy to drink sugar rice, not a little classmate." It's uncomfortable. As he spoke, Chen Fengdi's voice choked. Li Fei comforted her mother-in-law: "Mom, Gu Ruxi went to help the owner of the construction site open a lot of small timber wholesale stores, and people also know that Gu Ruxi is not a child, so it will not be difficult for Gu Ruxi." ”

Chen Feng said uneasily: "Those introductory words can also be believed." ”

Lulu couldn't bear it anymore: "If you don't believe what they say, how can you be willing to send Gu Ruxi out."

Chen Feng stopped talking. Zhao Yijing had a calm face and hurriedly put food in his mouth.

It was late at night, the classmates were all asleep, and in many corners of the room, Lulu was still under the light of the bean floor, and many people were doing needlework. Gu Ruxi woke up a lot and looked at her mother in surprise, "Mom, I haven't slept yet." ”

"Mommy just sleeps, wow."

"Gee, it's getting dawn. I don't sleep a lot, but I can't. I'm going to work in the fields tomorrow, and I'm tired. "If I hadn't been able to do it in the morning, I wouldn't have been able to wear it."

"Make land for you."

"No, my mom didn't make me a lot of decent clothes. When you go to someone's house, you can't wear patches and patches. This is not the kimono that my mother wore when she married here. Change a lot and change it for me to wear. "Such precious clothes, I want to wear them for you."

"Mom used to think about when Gu Ruxi would be able to use this dress, so she kept a lot of it for me. When Lulu and Xiuxiu went out to work on the construction site, you also changed your clothes for everyone to wear, and these many pieces were not for Gu Ruxi. ”"......”

"But no, my mother didn't expect that Gu Ruxi would wear this dress so early." Luludi's voice froze.

"Mom."

"No, put it on."

Gu Ruxi happily stretched out her arm and put on her newly modified clothes.

I really can't look at it. It is not true that people rely on clothes and horses on saddles. Lulu narrowed her eyes and looked at Gu Ruxi: "Gu Ruxi." Do I wear a belt myself? ”

Gu Ruxi nodded, took the belt handed over by her mother, and tied it herself hard. Lulu looked at Gu Ruxi steadily, "Wow, no." My mother is always not very busy and can't take care of Gu Ruxi, so I have been doing it myself since I was a child, helping the family and taking care of my little nephews and nieces. However, from now on, I am really not a lot of people, no one will help me, and I can't expect anyone to help me, so I can only live a lot of personal life. I'm going to have a lot of things to remember. Gu Ruxi nodded seriously

"When you want to cry, when you want to go home, many must be patient."

"But if I can't take it anymore, don't force it, just come back. Mom was waiting for me at all times. ”

Gu Ruxi's eyes overflowed with tears. Lulu hugged her daughter tightly in her arms. "A lot of you have to protect your body, wow. A lot of them are going to come back healthy. ”

Grandmother Chen Feng was wrapped in the quilt, and many of them looked at the mother and daughter quietly, at this time, he couldn't hold back anymore, and lowered his voice and sobbed.

Early the next morning, many young teachers stood in the courtyard and said to the people in the house: "Your name is Dingji, not the place sent by the Nakagawa Timber Store." You came to pick up and see your classmate's sister-in-law. ”

Zhao Yijing hurriedly greeted him and said respectfully: "I'm tired of you." Then he turned to the house and shouted, "Don't come out quickly." ”

In the house, Lulu was tying a lot of bags to Gu Ruxi's back, and Chen Feng was watching everyone from many sides. Lulu said with tears in her eyes, "There are only a lot of underwear in here, and a lot of underwear that I usually wear, and I haven't prepared them for me anywhere else." There are also a few rice balls. ”

Zhao Yijing shouted angrily again: "When will you do it secretly?" ”

Li Zhu looked at Tongxin the most, and said again: "I want to please the lord and the wife." After saying that, he was ruthless, and she left the door. At this time, Li Shen quickly put a lot of things into Gu Ruxi's hands. Gu Ruxi was shocked and looked at it, and many five-dime silver coins were shining in his hand, "Grandpa."

"Don't tell anyone.

Gu Ruxi can make sure to return the silver coins to her grandfather. Chen Feng said: "Take it." Grandpa only has this, forgive grandpa. When Dingji saw Gu Ruxi, he said with some surprise: "Oh, it's not this classmate."

Reliable and uneasy: "Hey, this classmate went to help the construction site owner, how is the temper of the master and the wife." Zhao Yijing said unhappily: "Gu Ruxi, run." ”

"Then run." Dingji looked at Gu Ruxi, "Wow, everyone has to sit on the wooden night, if you don't have clothes, just put it on, there will be a splash on your body." ”

Lulu drank a lot of surprise: "Mu Ye." Didn't you go by boat? ”

Dingji cried, "Doesn't it cost money to take a boat?" No, everyone has to cut down the wood from the mountains and flow down the river to the store. You don't have to spend money on a raft. ”

Lulu said uneasily: "No, such a small classmate, it's too dangerous to sit on that thing." ”

Zhao Yijing shouted: "Lulu." Dingji comforted and said: "There are many times with you and him, don't worry." ”

But Lulu is not uneasy: "That's not good. Ride on a raft, if there is no one who can't do it. ”

Zhao Yijing said: "Lulu, even if Gu Ruxi spends the money on the boat, you can't send him over." This time, people came to pick me up, and I complained again, but I didn't want to be punished. ”

"Not really.

"Since he went out to help and received other people's land wages, Gu Ruxi is not from the owner's family. Don't complain anymore. ”

Lulu was silent. Zhao Yijing said to Dingji again: "I'm sorry for you." ”

Dingji comforted Lulu many times and said, "Please don't worry. After finishing the way, he urged Gu Ruxi to leave. At this time, Chen Feng took out the bag clothes in the house and wanted to bring them to Gu Ruxi. But Gu Ruxi said: "No need, if you take it away, my mother will have no clothes." ”

Lulu shouted, "Gu Ruxi." Gu Ruxi was ruthless, as if she was trying to break free from the concerns of her classmates, and walked quickly silently. Dingji hurried to follow. Lulu followed silently as well.

Work.

Zhao Yijing shouted: "Lulu." Lulu ignored it and went out anyway. Zhao Yijing immediately began to prepare to go to him.

Chen Feng said: "The national girl is going to run away, so I won't send it." Zhao Yijing didn't squeak.

Isn't that an uncle's land? I think about it, Gu Ruxi didn't go out to work on the construction site for anyone. ”

Zhao Yijing was still silently preparing. Chen Feng held back tears sadly.

When they came to the bank of the river, Gu Ruxi and Dingji took the raft, Lulu looked at it with fear, and said to Gu Ruxi: "A lot of them must hurry up." No matter when something happens, many must not stand up. Then he asked Dingji to say: "This classmate, it's all up to you to take care of it." ”

Dingji agreed to untie the rope and let go of the raft. Gu Ruxi couldn't help but stand up and called "Mom", but not immediately many followed. "Danger." You can't sit down.

Gu Ruxi squatted on the raft, still shouting: "Mom." Lulu couldn't speak, but she didn't wave her hand and look at Gu Ruxi in the distance.

Gu Ruxi also looked at her mother stupidly. Suddenly, he looked in amazement at the shade of the trees on the shore, and many men were running under the trees, as if they were not chasing the raft.

"Uncle." Gu Ruxi couldn't help but shout: "Uncle—uncle." ”

The man who ran after the wooden valve was not Zhao Yijing. Zhao Yijing looked at Gu Ruxi and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Gu Ruxi." ”

Zhao Yijing squatted on the ground, his shoulders twitching, clearly crying.

It turned out that my father was also in pain, wow. No, it should be said that the father suffers more than anyone else. Seeing that his father never showed himself in front of his family, Gu Ruxi experienced Zhao Yijing's mood many times.

Li Jia said thoughtfully: "You don't seem to understand." ”

"Now, although there are many people who work hard, I don't think about the suffering of people in the past, I think...

Yes, even you, grandpa, have forgotten all the hard work in the past. Gu Ruxi couldn't help crying bitterly: "When I think of hard work, I will feel that it is not terrible at any time." No matter when it's difficult.
