Chapter 48: Lan Xiaolan's children's shoes
It was almost two o'clock when the two came out of Wei Jianjun's house, Gu Shinian didn't dare to delay the time, and hurriedly took Yunshang to the state-run restaurant to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup, and then took Yunshang to the supply and marketing cooperatives next door, ready to buy some personal supplies to be put on the surface as a disguise.
The supply and marketing cooperatives were full of people, Gu Shinian protected Yunshang on his chest, first went to the corner to buy a small bamboo basket, walked through the food area, bought two toothbrushes on the living counter, a piece of osmanthus-flavored Golden Rooster brand soap, and bought a box of alabaster, and then went to the second floor and bought an aluminum lunch box for going out, two tea jars, two pairs of socks, a comb, and bought a few head ropes for Yunshang.
These trivial things are inconspicuous, but they must be prepared on the bright side. Otherwise, there is nothing at home, but the two of them wash it clean every day and wipe it fragrantly, isn't this a handle for people.
Gu Shinian squatted down, stacked the things he bought neatly in the bamboo basket, and turned his head sideways to ask Yunsheng:
"Ah Shang, think about what is still missing at home."
Yunshang was confused, thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "There is no shortage." ”
At this time, the time was not early, the two were worried that Yun Erchuan and Yun Shuilian were in a hurry, so they didn't dare to continue to wander around, and when they got out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Gu Shinian held Yunshang in front of him, and carried a bamboo basket in the back, and walked quickly along the cross street.
When there were fewer people around, Yunshang turned around and put the military bag in his arms in the bamboo basket, and under the cover of the military bag, he also put a few pieces of fabric that had been stored in the space into the basket.
"Second Brother Gu, Widow Wang is crazy, who will we find to make clothes in the future?"
The clothes that Yunshang and Gu Shinian wore were still made in the space before Widow Wang went completely crazy, Gu Shinian was a single coat, and Yunshang's clothes seemed to be cotton clothes and cotton pants, but in fact, they were wrapped in down jackets and down pants, which were far warmer than cotton clothes and cotton pants.
Thinking that Widow Wang was crazy and her skillful hands were so useless, Yunshang felt pity at the same time, but also began to worry about the future clothes of the two.
This summer clothes can also be bought in the supply and marketing cooperative, but what about the cotton clothes and pants in winter? And those unsightly down jackets, how do she get a coat?
After thinking about it, Yunshang felt that she had to learn to make her own clothes, otherwise it would be difficult to endure the winter in the future.
"Second brother Gu, when I go back, I will ask my grandmother to teach me how to make clothes, and when I learn it, I will cover all your clothes in the future."
Gu Shinian glanced at Yun Shang's fingers, which were barely as long as a needle, and replied with a smile:
"Okay, then I'll wait for Ah Shang's new clothes."
Walking to the second half of Crossroads, the snow on the road has not been shoveled, and it has been trampled hard and frozen by pedestrians, and people walking on it will slip and fall if they are not careful. Gu Shinian hugged Yunshang and walked more and more carefully.
Yunshang looked at a few children who were having snowball fights in the alley from a distance, remembering that Gu Shinian hadn't been home for many days, and asked with some worry:
"Second Brother Gu, do you want to go home? I haven't been back for so many days, you ...... Mother...... Will Aunt Zhang be angry? ”
After all, Yunshang couldn't agree with Zhang Chunni in her heart.
In her heart, only the dignified and generous, gentle and elegant Mother Gu is Gu Shinian's mother. Like Zhang Chunni, a woman who blames the reason for the divorce on the children and deliberately ignores the children on weekdays is not worthy of being a mother who cares about the years.
Gu Shinian patted her head in Yunsheng's annoyed eyes, and said with a smile:
"It's fine. She is very busy, she is a well-known iron lady in the unit, and she may not know that I haven't been home for several days. ”
Yunshang was speechless again.
The son hasn't come home for a few days, and the mother hasn't found out yet, how can this be considered a mother!
"She didn't mean to be harsh on me, she didn't care that much about her three children. In addition, she lives in a room alone, goes out early and returns late every day, and usually eats in the unit, so it is normal to not know the situation of several children. ”
Yunshang replied sullenly, raised her head, and found that the two had reached the end of the cross street, and quickly pointed to the alley on the right:
"Second Brother Gu, enter from here, the one with the highest gatehouse is."
Standing at the gate of Han Shan's house again, Yunshang found that the carvings on the gatehouse were gone, and only the bare wooden planks were still hanging on it.
Obviously, Han Shan listened to what she said last time.
"Ah Xiang, are you sure it's this one?"
Yunshang looked left and right, and nodded with great certainty, "This is it." ”
In the courtyard, Yun Erchuan was about to set up an ox cart, and when he heard the sound of the two talking, he jumped over in a few steps and opened the gate from the inside:
"Dress! Comrade Gu Xiao! Where have you been, and why have you come back? ”
Yun Erchuan was really in a hurry, he went back to Lin Village from the county, it took about three hours to walk, it was dark early in winter, and it was almost four o'clock now, even if they set off immediately, they would have to walk for nearly an hour at night.
It snowed yesterday, and the wind picked up again today, and the snow on the road has long been frozen, so it is easy to have an accident in such a hurry.
Yun Sheng grabbed in front of Gu Shinian and said, "Second uncle, Brother Shinian took me to buy cotton cloth!" What about my aunt? ”
"Your aunt is helping Grandma Han paste the soles of her shoes." Yun Erchuan led the two of them into the door and shouted into the house, "Shuilian, Comrade Gu Xiao and Xiangnan are back, hurry up and pack up, let's go back now, it will be even more difficult to walk later." ”
Yun Shuilian answered through the window, and then Han Shan walked out of the house, followed by a kind old lady.
Seeing this, Yunshang immediately took Gu Shinian's hand and went over to greet the two:
"Hello Grandpa Han, hello Grandma Han, my brother and I have come to see you!"
As soon as Gu Shinian entered the door, he knew that Han Shan's house was not simple, and when he saw Yun Sheng taking the initiative to greet the master's family, he quickly regained his mind and said hello to Han Shan's family.
"Good, good, both are good boys."
It was the first time for the old lady to see Yunshang, and when she saw her small ball, her eyebrows were exquisite, and her speech was festive and polite, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. If I look at him again, he is handsome and good-looking, and he is also courteous and thoughtful when he receives people and things, and his heart is even happier.
Taking advantage of Yun Shuilian's efforts to clean up her things, the old lady pulled the two into the house one by one, making sugar water and toffee, and finally took out a small bag of persimmons full of white frost and asked the two of them to take them back to eat. This is so hot, Han Shan was stunned for a while.
After Gu Shinian drank the sugar water, he and Han Shan helped Yun Erchuan set up the car, and Yun Sheng sat on a high chair, drinking sugar water while leisurely shaking his two little short legs.
Seeing the old lady tiptoeing on her little feet, like a spinning top, she brought her delicious food, and hurriedly opened her mouth to stop her:
"Grandma Han, it's good if I have toffee to eat, you sit down and rest, don't be busy."
