Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Beginning of the Famine
The more Gu Tai thought about it, the more sad she became, and she cried silently. Xu was afraid that her grandson and granddaughter would find out, so she was crooked by the car window, covering her eyes with one arm, and pretending to be sleeping.
But his shoulders shook uncontrollably, and a low sobbing sound could be heard if he looked closer.
When Gu Tianxing saw this scene, he also became uncomfortable. After all, I have lived in this place for more than seven years, and I still have some feelings in the end.
Afraid that the old lady would feel that she had lost face, she also deliberately pretended to close her eyes to recuperate.
It's just that the little cousin Mao Mao is young after all, and when he looks at his grandmother like this, he knows that she is crying. The little buttocks moved forward slightly, and gently pulled Gu Anxia's clothes and said:
"Third sister, is grandma crying?"
The ancient man had a kind of embarrassment of being broken by his grandson, so he said fiercely:
"What are you crying about, I'm sleeping, it's all your little cub who woke me up!"
Gu Tianxing has the heart to make her cry happily, after all, she still has to look forward, as long as she lives, she will have everything in her family business!
But now that it's been so clearly lit out, it's not easy to pretend anymore.
She comforted her softly:
"Milk, don't think about it, let's leave now to live.
As long as you can live, your granddaughter will buy you a big house with three entrances and three exits, and a few maids to serve you. Don't you know your granddaughter's skills? ”
After Gu Tianxing finished speaking, he winked at the old lady.
The old man thought about it, but no, our family is different from others! We are a family of fairies, and we will be rich and noble in the future.
As long as you get past the hurdle in front of you first, it will be fine! Thinking about it like this, she felt a lot happier in her heart.
Mao Mao clasped her little hands and looked at her cousin. I just felt that my cousin was too powerful, and a few words made such a fierce milk laugh.
Gu Tai felt comfortable, and then picked up the soles of his shoes.
I don't know how long it will take to go this way, and the most is a waste of shoes, so you have to hurry up.
Gu Tianxing sat for a while, lied to her that he was a little motion sick, and went down to replace the little Chai Niu of the third uncle's house.
Gu Tai complained for a while, such a girl, what is so expensive, what will happen if you go more.
It's not that Gu Tianxing wants to be a good person, after all, his spiritual trick is not cultivated in vain.
Not to mention rushing, even if she encounters a ruffian, she can fight three with one without using her spiritual power.
has this ability, how can it be good to watch a little milk baby suffer.
After rushing for several hours, Guli Zheng asked everyone to rest and eat in place.
Gu Tai was directing her daughters-in-law to be busy, and Gu Fang, the old woman of the Lizheng family, came over.
She cried straight to her old father:
There are few ox carts in your own house, pulling grain and household goods, plus your eldest brother, you really can't carry your grandchildren. I don't ask for much, I just hope that I can set off tomorrow and let her little grandson of the fifth family get in the car and rest.
It's not easy for the old father to refuse his sister-in-law, and it's not easy to argue with him, and he feels that only one person should be a big problem.
As soon as he wanted to speak, Gu Tai smiled and said to Gu Fang's clan:
"Sister-in-law is really, there is nothing you can't say to me. I've got to find that dead old man in my house! ”
Hey, this is not a good thing, secretly poke and poke and arrange yourself to find your uncle in private! If you let your old man hear it, then you have to do it!
Gu Fang's clan didn't dare to break it, so he had to bite the bullet and say his intention again.
Gu Tai's eyes turned red at the moment, wiped his tears and said:
I understand that my sister-in-law hurts the child's heart! You see, my little grandchildren have a row of blood blisters on their little feet when they walk.
My heart as a grandmother is distressed, and I can't wait to suffer myself...... Woooooooo
Gu Fang's choked "Huh! With a snort, he scolded the old father's family for not being a thing and left.
At this time, the ancient Orion family was also busy. His family wasn't really a hunter, but it was plagued many years ago. Most of the family's fields have been sold, and only a few acres of wasteland are left, which is really unable to feed a large family.
Ancient hunters could not only go to the outer mountains of Shuangao Mountain to hunt and subsidize their expenses.
Although his family was not rich, it was a prosperous family with six sons.
The eldest son is twenty-four years old, named Gu Dazhuang, who has a family and a pair of children.
His wife was a straightforward and honest person, and when she heard that her father owed gambling debts and was going to sell them, she was finally bought by the ancient hunters as a daughter-in-law.
The rest of them have not yet started a family, the second Gu Erzhuang is already twenty years old, and he has been ranked down, and the youngest son of Gu Orion is also fourteen years old this year.
His mother-in-law was exhausted because of the sin she suffered in her early years, and she couldn't survive when she gave birth to this old man.
Because of the poverty of his family, Gu Orion has not remarried over the years, and he loves his sons even more.
He went into the mountains to hunt all the year round, and his family often had meat to eat, and these young men were all strong and good laborers.
There are few women and children in his family, so this journey is the easiest family to go.
As soon as Gu Orion shouted to stop, his sons unloaded the carriage and led the old cow to drink water and feed the fodder.
The younger son went to collect some firewood and came back, and Gu Orion urged the eldest daughter-in-law to hurry up and set up a pot to cook.
Because the family often went into the mountains to hunt, they always kept dry food such as nests and cakes.
His eldest daughter-in-law was not sure whether to steam some dry food or cook some corn, so she asked her father-in-law:
"Dad, are we going to cook corn? There was still a lot of dry food left. ”
Gu Orion has always been a person who wants to open a lot, he has often gone into the mountains to hunt these years, and there are not many prey that he has really sold, most of them have entered the stomachs of a few people in the family, otherwise his sons are not so strong.
He nodded, and said simply:
"Boil a pot of corn and steam a pot of wotou. In addition, taking advantage of the dark lights now, there are not many victims on the road, and no one is staring at the food.
You quickly fry the half of the wild boar left the day before yesterday, as much as you can, and put it in a jar.
The rest is salted and dried to last longer. ”
After thinking about it, I felt that these two evacuations were all due to the news of the ancient father's family.
After a pause, he added:
"The meat is fried, remember to send it to Li Zheng and your Uncle Yingmin's house. The family sends a big bowl, and it should be served in a large bowl. ”
Uncle Yingmin is talking about the ancient father's family. The old father is not low in the village, and he has a child's son, and most villagers have to call him uncle.
When Gu Erzhuang heard this, he immediately took over the conversation and said:
"Lizheng's family is going to send it, and I have to rely on Zhang Luo along the way.
Uncle Yingmin's family wants to give more, the last time I went into the mountain thanks to the news that the ancient two gave, otherwise I don't know what to do. ”
Several sons of the Gu Orion family nodded in agreement, and they really owed them a favor.
At this time, the old father's family, the meal was almost ready. The men sat in a circle around the straw mats, drinking water and discussing the next trip.
The locust plague has just passed, and the drought is sure to come as scheduled. They must get south as soon as possible, or they will die of thirst on the road!
It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and I had been on the run for several hours, and the people and animals were already very tired.
The women were very old-hearted, and they didn't know that there would be a drought next.
In addition, there are pillars in the house, so you don't have to worry about it at all, anyway, take care of the children, and it's almost the same to cook.
Gu Tai's heart was not in a hurry, she was distributing food. Not only is it distributed, but it is also divided by rank, and I am not afraid of dissatisfaction at home.
The old lady gave a bowl of porridge to her granddaughters in several rooms, which was not particularly thin, but it was certain that she would not be full.
A corn ball was distributed to the grandchildren, the size of an adult's fist.
If it is barely enough in normal times, but now that I am fleeing, I have to travel for so long every day, and I can't keep up with the energy consumed by such a little food.
What was distributed to himself and several daughters-in-law was a bowl of porridge and a small piece of dry food, which was very picky.
A bowl of corn and a bowl of porridge were distributed to the old father, his sons, and the grandchildren who helped with the cart.
Gu Tianxing's turn was the most different, the old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter for so many years, and she had never eaten these coarse grains, for fear that she would hurt her stomach.
At the moment, she didn't dare to cook some of the finest ones, so she had to serve her a bowl of corn rice and a bowl of stewed egg custard.
Holding the egg custard in his hand, he looked at his younger brothers and sisters who were younger than him and drooling.
Gu Tianxing: "......"
She is very grateful to her grandmother for putting her treatment in the first place, but her skin is really not thick enough to cry ghosts and gods!
This escape stall didn't do anything, and it ate so much better than others.
Mao Mao of the fourth uncle's family and Chai Niu of the third uncle's family muttered, the egg custard is so fragrant, if she were the third sister, she would be able to eat the egg custard.
Gu Tianxing's face was red, not to mention his previous life, just to say that his body is now seven years old, how can he be embarrassed to compete with his cousins and sisters who are more than three years old for food.
It's just that the whole family still looks like it should be!
