Gu Ruxi said sadly: "Auntie, then why do I have to stay up." ”

"Because the participant paid your manuscript fee in advance. You just thought that the deadline for work had expired, but who knew that Dad had paid your manuscript fee in advance, so you had to endure it. ”

"You don't understand anything."

"Gu Ruxi, aren't I also very diverse. I sent all the money to my dad. But no, even then it won't pay off the debt of the rough peasants. ”

Gu Ruxi persuaded: "Auntie, while the potato flour is still cold, I'll drink some." ”

Li Xue sucked the potato flour and said, "The steamed potato flour is so delicious." In the company, there is only wheat rice to drink, but it is better than the cold porridge at home. ”

"Auntie, I'll drink a lot."

"The company's dormitories are also too poor. Everyone only has a lot of potatoes to sleep on, and two people have a lot of quilts to cover. "Do two people sleep on a lot of bed?"

"No, the people who worked last weekend and those who worked in the white took turns using a lot of quilts. So, if there weren't a lot of people who had a bad cold, many other people who shared a lot of quilts with him would have been infected. ”

"It's too much."

"The heavy labor in the company made everyone's body deteriorate every day, and finally I got a bad cold. I don't know how many of my colleagues died after being sent back to the countryside. ”

Gu Ruxi was bitterly silent.

"After twenty hours of work, I am not exhausted, and I don't have a lot of strength to do anything else. What can I learn to talk about tea and flower arrangement, and many people just want to rest after work. What are you living for? You don't understand. But no, if you don't work, you won't be able to earn manuscript fees. These nine years really don't seem like living in hell. ”

Gu Ruxi cried out in pain: "I'm just so patient." Why don't I run away. Why don't I run away until I'm exhausted? Isn't it hard to say that the body is more important than debt? ”

"But isn't it what you'll be able to do when you escape? You can't read, you don't plan to disk, you can only wander around or become a woman. After escaping, you can't go home, and everyone doesn't end up like that. "'Auntie, I haven't had any pleasant cases in the past nine years. A lot of things that think of Aunt Li Xue, you haven't been too happy all these years. ”

Li Xue said suddenly: "It's not all painful experiences. ”

Gu Ruxi looked at her aunt puzzled. Li Xue said: "There are many overseers who are very good to you, but she is not always protecting you." She said Zhao Yijing Manager and said a lot to you. She encourages you and comforts you. Because of the presence of Manager Zhao Yijing, you can persist until now. ”

Li Xue's expression became gentle, and Gu Ruxi stared at Li Xue quietly. Li Xue said again: "If your body hadn't become like this, you really wanted to stay in the company forever." As long as you can stay by Manager Zhao Yijing's side, you don't care about the hard work. After you had a serious cold, although you were already dead to a lot of cuts, many of you thought that you would never see Miss Zhao Zi again, so you. ”

"Aunt Li Xue, Aunt Li Xue, do I like Manager Zhao Yijing?"

Li Xue hurriedly made a gesture of drinking potato flour and did not answer.

Gu Ruxi asked again: "Are we going to get married after we say it?" ”

"You don't have many colleagues, how can you have this kind of non-divisive thinking. Moreover, your body has become like this. "If you don't believe it, you can say those ridiculous words."

Gu Ruxi was silent. Li Xue cried a lot: "Why did you say these words, you haven't said anything to anyone." It's not Ah Gu Ruxi who said: "You can rest assured." Many of you think that Aunt Li Xue is just not suffering, and there are not many happy memories. Li Xue said deceptively: "It's not a Tao, it's useless." You'll never see that person again. Gu Ruxi comforted her aunt and said, "Of course we can still meet." As long as my severe cold is cured, won't I be able to see her? I'm going to get better for this. No way. ”

Li Xue didn't cry a lot, Gu Ruxi looked at him silently.

Suddenly, Qiao Yilong rushed in, "Li Xue." ”

Gu Ruxi shouted: "Mom." ”

You received a telegram saying "Li Xuezhong has a cold and will return quickly", so you hurried back. Li Xue, that's not what's wrong. Why am I lying here. ”

Li Xue called "Mom" a lot, but she couldn't say anything anymore.

"I'm not feeling well." Qiao Yilong asked Li Xue, and Gu Ruxi hugged her mother and cried bitterly.

Lulu, Qiao Yilong, Chen Feng and Gu Ruxi sat around the room, and the atmosphere was very tense. Lulu scolded Gu Ruxi and said, "It's not a telegram from me. It's not a lot of things.

Qiao Yilong said angrily: "How can this not be a big deal. The boys are dying, what can you do without you being a mother? ”

Chen Feng said: "Mom, if I don't earn the manuscript fee well, this family is really over." Last year's potato harvest was not good, this year's potatoes have just been planted, and they will not be harvested until autumn. There is a person with a severe cold at home, and Tongxin is back for dinner, even if her mother comes back, Li Xue's severe cold will not be good. ”

Qiao Yilong angrily slapped Chen Feng a lot, "Am I not a human being?" What is the manuscript fee? Many of me have grown up, even if I don't starve to death, I have to let my aunt see my mother, this is not the brotherhood of brother and sister. Since I'm so reluctant, it's better for you to drink nothing. You take care of Li Xue, okay.

Zhu Zhidao said: "You don't want to say such ruthless words. But no matter how tired and desperate you are, it's not that you can't afford to spend this poor life, so how can you care about what people are not like. ”

Lulu shouted: "Chen Feng, don't say it." ”

Shangzhi didn't care: "Although you were born in such a family, it's not that you think that you are not the eldest son, so many people have been silently until now." But no, everyone can do whatever they want by their own temperament, so no matter how hard you work, you won't be able to pay off your debts, and you won't be able to pay off your daughter-in-law. ”

Qiao Yilong was bitterly silent. Chen Feng said again: "If this is not the case, you can simply go out to work." You don't want to inherit the family business of a rough farmer at all. You've had enough. ”

Gu Ruxi hurriedly said, "Big brother." I'm sorry, you're going to be going out to work soon, and you're going to send a lot of money home. Chen Feng ran out in displeasure. Lulu said: "Chen Feng is not easy, as the eldest son, she can't leave her younger siblings behind. It's not that no matter how hard she tries, life is not so sad, and it's no wonder that she would say things like that. Qiao Yilong said: "It's not just Chen Feng, many people are working. Li Xue, Ah Mi and Gu Ruxi all gave the manuscript fees they earned to their families. It's not that life isn't always so difficult, isn't that what the hell is going on? You're not really uncomfortable. ”

Gu Ruxi said suddenly: "It's not because the peasant system is unreasonable. Many of the potatoes you have harvested have been taken by the landlords. A lot of half-potatoes were taken, and the coarse peasants were not enough to make ends meet, so they had no choice but to borrow potatoes from the landlord, and the borrowed potatoes had to be repaid with interest. The old debt has not been repaid, and new debts have been added. The landlord does not have to stain many fingers, the potato warehouse is not always full, and the life of the farmer is getting more and more miserable. As long as the coarse agrarian system exists, the poor will not disappear. It is not ridiculous that only landlords can easily earn large manuscript fees. ”

Lulu was surprised: "Gu Ruxi." ”

Gu Ruxi said again: "It's not anyone's fault, it's not the fault of the landlords and rough farmers. The eldest brother has become such an indifferent person, and the aunt has a severe cold in the lungs, which is not caused by the system of landlords and rough farmers. If Sister Li Xue hadn't died, it would have been tantamount to the landlord killing him. ”

Lulu said urgently: "Gu Ruxi, me." I didn't hear these words anywhere. Nobody told me that. Gu Ruxi drank a lot of surprise. Lulu added, "If I hadn't said something like that outside, it would have been terrible." Gu Ruxi looked at her father with a serious face. Lulu said: "If it weren't for the landlord, how could people like you who have no land eat food?" ”

Gu Ruxi was aggrieved and silent.

"Your ancestors have been taken care of by the landlord for generations, so what's the use of saying such things now? Recently, some young people in the rough farmers have been preaching a lot of absurd things around, and the police have been tracking them down very closely. I'm not going to talk nonsense anymore. Gu Ruxi said: "Dad, it is precisely because we don't think like this that the rough farmers will always be looked down upon, and it is impossible to get rid of poverty. ”

Lulu said angrily, "What am I saying?" ”

Qiao Yilong saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said: "Gu Ruxi, quickly apologize to my father." ”

Gu Ruxi was unconvinced: "You didn't do anything wrong. ”

Lulu was furious, snatched the slap and slapped Gu Ruxi a lot, and said angrily: "I have many children, so I don't know what to do." ”

Qiao Yilong hurriedly persuaded: "Gu Ruxi, quickly apologize to my father." ”

It's not that Gu Ruxi didn't dodge, Lulu slapped Gu Ruxi a lot more, Gu Ruxi still didn't move, and her face was resolute.

Qiao Yilong couldn't help but be surprised.

Gu Ruxi used a towel to cold compress his swollen cheeks that were beaten by his father, Qiao Yilong helped him with cold compresses a lot, and said distressedly: "I'm a stupid child." Beaten for such a small thing. What's the use of me confronting my dad and my dad. Gu Ruxi was silent. Qiao Yilong cried bitterly and said: "I have also changed. ”

Gu Ruxi suddenly shouted: "Mom."

"Wow."

"You're going out a lot tomorrow."

"Where to go."

Gu Ruxi didn't answer, and asked, "Can you give you a lot of manuscript fees?" ”

Qiao Yilong asked in surprise: "I don't even have this manuscript fee on me?" ”

"You've given it all to Dad."

"Why didn't I even leave some pocket money? That's not what I earned. ”

"Aunt Li Xue has to spend a manuscript fee, and you also have to spend a manuscript fee to drink by yourself. You're not drinking at home right now. "I gave all the money I earned to my family. I don't have to worry about anything. ”

"But no, if you weren't praised by Dao, then Sister Li Xue would be too pitiful."

Qiao Yilong took out the manuscript fee bag from his arms, silently took out many banknotes with many manuscript fees and handed them to Gu Ruxi.

"I'm sorry, you earned a lot of manuscript fees, and you will pay me back."
