Chapter 140: The Knot in My Heart
I saw that Aunt Jia's face was a little red, so I didn't continue to say anything, everyone stopped squeaking, and it was so quiet that I could hear the sound of eating and drinking porridge.
"I said you, in fact, I shouldn't say this, it's just that I see that Quanbao is tired every day, and he can't be left behind. It's like it's going to be day by day. O you men! Although Aunt Jia's face was red, she didn't delay her to express her dissatisfaction with Shi Xiucui.
"Alas, what kind of gossip are you talking about, pick some water for Shi Xiucui, isn't that also taking care of the face of the Deguang brothers!" Uncle Quan Bao also has some thoughts about Shi Xiucui in his heart, but seeing Aunt Jia say this, of course he can't support it in front of me, how ungentlemanly it is.
"You said Aunt Xiucui, she gave me candy to eat!" The dog heard us chattering and interjected.
"Hurry up and eat your food, you will be good with others if they give you sugar! Shi Xiucui still lacks a son, why don't you call her mom! ”
When Aunt Jia heard her son say this, she poured her anger on the dog leftovers. Gou Yu'er was made cry by Aunt Jia.
"Look at you, the child is still young and ignorant. I know you're doing it for my good, too, but you can't blame the child! Liu Quanbao began to protect the dog again.
"It's not me who provokes trouble, you said that she Shi Xiucui is a big girl's family, and she won't leave when she lives in someone's house, and she gave birth to a child of unknown origin. If you want me to say, then Guo Deguang is good to her, and now he pays child support, and he doesn't care about her. But you can't always let Quanbao do this and that for her. Not only do I think so, but the woman who was with Quan Bao before heard that she didn't want to see Shi Xiucui! "Aunt Jia was robbed of Uncle Quanbao, and there were tears in her eyes.
"When I came back yesterday, I met Aunt Xiucui in the car, and she said that she didn't want to stay here for too long, maybe she would go back to the provincial capital to find her father this year!" I don't know what to say, so I can only say that Shi Xiucui is leaving to relieve my tension.
"Really, do Brother Deguang know about this?" Liu Quanbao asked me.
"What are you doing when you worry about others, but people don't worry about it, what are you messing about." Aunt Jia immediately became jealous again.
"That's right, I'm enough, Brother Deguang, and I'm worthy of him. As for what she Shi Xiucui thinks of me, let her go! Uncle Quan Bao said helplessly.
……………………
I went home and made a stove, cleaned it up, and then went to Shi Xiucui's house.
"Aunt Xiucui, are you at home? I'm Dunzi. ”
"Ah, it's a dunzi! Come in, I'm at home preparing for class! Shi Xiucui walked out of the house.
"I'm here to fetch water for you." So saying, I picked up the bucket and the stub that I had placed under the eaves.
After a while, I filled the tank with water. But I'm also sweating.
"Auntie, I've got enough water for you, it's enough for you to eat for a few days, I still have something to do, I'll go first!" With that, I walked out of the house.
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, look at your sweat, I have herbal tea here, you can drink some to quench your thirst."
"What kind of tea are you drinking, I'll just drink some water."
"That's not good, drinking raw water will have worms in your stomach, you better try not to drink raw water."
Shi Xiucui said and handed me a cup of tea, and I didn't refuse.
"Oh, this tea is delicious, and it tastes sweet."
"Of course, this is my own honey green tea, which is both defeating and nourishing. I don't give it to him yet! ”
I think the ordinary people Shi Xiucui is referring to Liu Quanbao.
"Mmmm, it's delicious, it's delicious." I drank the cup of tea, savoring the taste in my mouth.
"Hehe, this tea has to be tasted slowly to make it more flavorful, it's a waste to drink a whale like you. But I still have it in the house, so come in and drink!" ”
Of course, I don't understand Shi Xiucui's "whale sucking cow drink", but I understand what Shi Xiucui means when she says that I drink too fast.
"Don't do it, you can keep it for yourself, I'll taste it!"
"I made a big pot for you, and there is honey in the tea, and there is no refrigerator here, so I can't drink so much myself if you don't drink it. Can you still let me pour it out! Shi Xiucui looked embarrassed.
"Alright then, I still like this tea."
I entered the house, and the house was much cleaner than when I came here to clean up the kang cave before. Although no new furniture has been added, it looks more pleasing to the eye than before. In front of the window is a student's desk, which is estimated to have been moved by Shi Xiucui from the township primary school. There are a few elementary school textbooks on the desk, and some notes and so on.
"I'm a substitute teacher in the township primary school now, I haven't read much seriously for a while, and I have nothing to do during the holidays, so I'll look at it again." Shi Xiucui saw that I was a little fascinated by the desk placed in front of the window, so she said casually.
"Well, it seems that Shui Ling will study very well in the future, if she has any questions, she can ask you at any time! I just sometimes ask my mom, and my mom won't. "I'm a little weak after saying this, I hope my mother Li Meiling doesn't blame me.
"What's the matter, it's all because I did something wrong in the first place, so that Shui Ling also suffered. After all, this is a rural area, and the adults are a little better, but if the children stay here, it will be ruined. In the provincial city where I used to live, a child as old as Shui Ling could memorize Tang poems. But Shui Ling's kindergarten doesn't even let the child eat enough, and the child will be hungry if he can't grab the food. At the mention of Guo Shuiling, Shi Xiucui was a little excited.
"Didn't you say you were going back to the provincial capital?"
"It's not that easy! We can go back, but how will we live when we go back, I don't have a job there, my family doesn't have enough house to live in, and I have a younger brother who is a year older than Shui Ling.
I can get money, as long as I give Shui Ling to his father Guo Deguang to raise, he can give me 50,000 yuan. But this is equivalent to selling Shui Ling, I am her own mother, I can't do this.
Dunzi, you said that if your mother Li Meiling and your father Li Li divorced. I just said that if your dad gives your mom 50,000 yuan and then takes it away for you, can your mom agree? Shi Xiucui said a little excitedly.
"My mom and my dad are divorced."
"Ah, really, I don't know about this!" Shi Xiucui became interested in my parents' divorce.
"I only found out later! I only found out about this matter when my Uncle Zhang told me about it. I heard that my mom was going abroad when they divorced. ”
"What? Why did you go abroad? My bland words aroused Shi Xiucui's greater curiosity.
"I don't know much about this, but my mother once seemed to say that my dad had a change of heart, and then they divorced."
"Then why did your mother go abroad?"
"My Uncle Zhang told me that if I want to follow my mother to New Zealand, he can help me with the relationship or formalities here. I don't know much about what Uncle Zhang said, and I don't want to follow her to that Lan anyway. I replied truthfully.
"You're such a stupid kid, you don't even cherish such a great opportunity. Then your dad didn't say to pick you up, didn't he open a factory in the south? ”
"Do you think everyone is like Uncle Deguang, my dad doesn't care about me at all, and he can't say that, last month, he gave me 2,000 yuan, saying that he was giving me half a year's living expenses.
Seeing how rich Uncle Deguang is, he can give you 50,000 yuan at once. ”
I think if Guo Shuiling can follow Guo Deguang, there won't be anything bad. Of course, I can't say this in front of Shi Xiucui.
"You said that your Uncle Zhang is the public security chief of our county, right?"
When Shi Xiucui asked me, I obviously felt that Shi Xiucui was more interested in my uncle, who was the chief of the public security bureau.
"Yes, he is still my benefactor, it was this Uncle Zhang who led people to rescue me from the hands of those Taoist priests."
"What's your Uncle Zhang's name? How could I not know! ”
"He's amazing, his name is Zhang Weihong, he has joined the army before, and he has been on the battlefield, and,"
"Dunzi, I want to do something with your Uncle Zhang?" Shi Xiucui interrupted me.
"This, I can't say this either! He told me that he was going to work in the provincial capital, and he told me that he would bring it with me. This time I came back because he asked me to find some herbs for another uncle. If you have anything to do, tell him yourself, Uncle Zhang is a good person, I think he can help you. ”
"I don't know him, how can he help me. What kind of medicinal herbs do you say Uncle Zhang wants you to find for him? How can I help with this? Shi Xiucui was also interested in medicinal materials.
"You don't seem to be able to help much, this girl. Because I have to walk around the mountains. The grass grows on the hills, and I don't think it's very good, some of them can be named, and some of them I just remember the shape. Also, and I'm just, when I don't know if they're the grass I want, I'll try them. "I told Shi Xiucui truthfully.
"You teach me to find medicinal herbs, I want to earn more money this holiday, so that I can go back to the provincial capital to live with my father soon, mainly because I consider that the water spirit can't always be in this big ravine!"
I was still a little moved when I saw Shi Xiucui's firm eyes, her eyes were a bit similar to Guo Shuiling's eyes, but I preferred to look at Guo Shuiling's eyes.
"I think you should talk to Uncle Xiao Guo, he won't ignore you. He is Guo Shuiling's father, I want you to talk to him again, so you don't have to go to the mountains to find those herbs. Besides, the grass I want may not be worth anything at all. Don't be busy with me, you won't be able to make money by then. "I kindly persuaded Shi Xiucui.
"I don't believe what you said, don't look at your young age, your heart is not small. If you don't tell me, forget it, I won't take the test for anyone, just rely on myself, I won't believe that Shui Ling and I won't be able to go back to the provincial capital. Shi Xiucui was a little angry.
"Does Shui Ling also want to go to the provincial capital? Would she like to follow you back to live with her grandfather? ”
"It's good to be able to go back, the key is that I don't have the money to buy her another house, my father only lives in a two-bedroom apartment, if you add me and Guo Shuiling, there will be five people. There's no place to live! Shi Xiucui was full of thoughts.
"Aunt Xiucui, in fact, my Uncle Zhang is still good, if you look for him for anything, he will help you."
"I'm just looking for him to do a household registration, forget it, let's wait until I have a house and move out of the household registration alone! The point is that I don't have that much money! In the final analysis, Shi Xiucui was still stumped by money.
"Actually, you don't have to worry, this house turned out to be lived by Grandpa Guo, that is, my little Uncle Guo's father. I have something to tell you,,,"
"Dunzi, don't scare me, I heard about him, I heard about him, Guo Deguang and his father are here,,,"
Shi Xiucui didn't dare to say it, and I was also nervous by her.
