The cooked meal was placed in the Nanzheng Hall, and the family of three sat down in turn, Yang Huiyun looked at the steaming food on the table, thinking that Gu Shan would never be able to eat such a hot meal again, his heart was uncomfortable, and his eyes couldn't help but redden, "If only I had stopped your father at that time and didn't let him go, he wouldn't have met robbers, let alone died." ”

Gu Shan has a strong physique and has the strength to do it, in addition to farming during the busy farming period, he also takes some wood work in the county town on weekdays.

Because he only went to help, he went to work for one day and one day, and the wages were calculated on a daily basis, so he still had time to take care of the wood work and the field.

It's just that before the Chinese New Year this year, the shopkeeper of a shop in the county came to the door, saying that there was a staff member in the neighboring town who wanted to build a new house and needed a reliable carpenter.

Carpentry is usually a small object, such as a wardrobe, a bed, a table and chairs, etc., which can be done directly in the shop, after all, the shop has a backyard, things can be stored there, and people don't have to live in the shop.

But if the house is to be renovated, it means that the door beams and everything have to be redone, and the carpenter needs to live there and measure and modify it from time to time until it is completed.

It takes about one to two years.

But this kind of remuneration is much higher than the price of ordinary items, Gu Shan only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

He calculated that after this trip, the money to rebuild the South House was not only enough, but also a lot left.

Because the South House only needs three rooms to rebuild, and there is no need to buy land, it is at least two-thirds less than the North House, which can greatly shorten the time required to earn enough silver.

To do this, you have to collect a deposit, Gu Shan gave Yang Huiyun ten taels of the deposit, and followed the team on the road together.

Before leaving, Gu Shan knew that there was no one to plant the family's five acres of land, so he rented it to another family in the village, and as long as the three achievements of the year's harvest were good, he rented it directly to the family for three years, and left Xinghua Village in this way.

Now that Yang Huiyun thinks about it, she still feels that it was her own fault, if she didn't agree with Gu Shan to work in a neighboring town at that time, Gu Shan would still be alive and well, although there was no money to build a new south house, but she could build it for a few years like before.

Thinking of this, Yang Huiyun said sentimentally: "It's all my fault." ”

Gu Huai'an saw that A-Niang's eyes were a little red, and just as he wanted to speak to appease him, he heard his sister's resolute and even somewhat indifferent voice ringing in his ears.

"Not really!" Gu Changning remembered the news he learned in his previous life, clasped his hands, stared down at the bowl in front of him, and said with a resentful expression, "He is going by himself, and it has nothing to do with A-Niang!" Encountering a bandit is his fate! ”

Yang Huiyun didn't expect her daughter to react like this, her face turned cold at the moment, and she said, "Ning Ning, how can you talk like this, he is your father!" ”

"He's not!" Gu Changning didn't know what was wrong with her, her emotions suddenly got out of control, she raised her head, opened a pair of teary eyes and stubbornly shouted, "He doesn't want us anymore, he left us, he left by himself, he is no longer my father!" ”

No one knew how hard she had to say this, her brain was telling her to shut up, she couldn't say it, she couldn't say it, but she couldn't control herself at all, her emotions were running like a wild horse, and her blood was clamoring to tell A-Niang and her brother about it, so that they could know what kind of person he was.

A man who abandons his wife and children and marries a new love!

The dinner table suddenly fell silent, Yang Huiyun and Gu Huai'an looked at her in surprise, both of them had a look of disbelief on their faces, as if they were shocked by her outburst of emotions at this time.

In the silence, Gu Changning slowly calmed down, she was still a little excited at the moment, pursed her lips, opened a pair of bright eyes and tried not to let the tears slide down, this look looked in Yang Huiyun's eyes, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Ning Ning, A-Niang knows that you haven't been able to fully accept the news of your father's death, your father didn't think about leaving us, but how can people compete with the sky, good, don't say such things again in the future, otherwise A-Niang will be angry."

No, it's not like that, you don't know!

Gu Changning raised his hand to wipe his tears, and his soft and delicate little face still showed a trace of unconvincing and stubbornness.

Seeing her like this, Yang Huiyun knew that she still couldn't listen, so she sighed slightly and said, "Ning Ning, look at the north house, look at the courtyard, and then look at the stone courtyard wall, which one doesn't make the people in the village envious?" Your father chose to accept this job because he wanted his family to live a good life, if it weren't for us, why would he have to work so hard to earn money, and wouldn't he have to worry about food and clothing like before? Ning Ning, your daddy...... Didn't think about abandoning us. ”

Gu Changning was stunned for a moment, blinked her eyes, and her vision, which was originally blurred by tears, became clear, she looked at A-Niang suspiciously, and then looked at her silent brother, the expression on her face was very stunned.

Didn't Daddy really think about abandoning them? So what's the deal with Daddy marrying his stepmother and giving birth to a son?

Yang Huiyun saw that her daughter was stunned, with a puzzled face, knowing that she was no longer drilling the tip of the horns, so she said softly: "Okay, it's all A-Niang's bad, bring this up well, let's eat, don't say it, A-Niang will never say this again, it will be fine in the future." ”

Gu Changning listened to A-Niang's words, nodded slowly, and then picked up the rice bowl again.

Gu Huai'an saw that his sister was quiet, and hurriedly sandwiched a few chopsticks and dishes for her, "Eat quickly, otherwise the food will be cold." ”

Gu Changning held the rice bowl, nodded again without saying anything, and ate silently.

Was it wrong that she hated for so many years? Is there anything hidden in Daddy's marriage to his stepmother? Thinking of his previous life, Gu Changning buried his head in his meal and fell into deep thought.

Regardless of whether there is a secret in Daddy's matter, her sudden loss of emotional control must seem very strange in the eyes of Auntie and her brother.

Fortunately, A-Niang found a reason for her, thinking that she was because she couldn't accept Daddy's death and hated because of love, blaming Gu Shan for this incident and blaming him for not coming back safely.

If it weren't for that, she wouldn't know how to explain her anomaly.

Gu Changning once again secretly warned herself in her heart, she had been so comfortable these days that she had gotten carried away, forgetting that she had learned many things only after she had been relived for a lifetime, and these things were not known to people now.

It seems that I have to be careful at all times in the future, otherwise I will be found out by others and burn her as a demon girl, then I really deserve it.

The meal was eaten in silence.

Yang Huiyun looked at her gentle and delicate son, her lips moved, and she wanted to say something, but the words were drowned between her lips and teeth, making her in a dilemma, looking very hesitant.

Gu Changning's emotions came and went quickly, she calmed down at this moment, and she caught a glimpse of A-Niang's hesitation on her face, forgetting everything about Fang Cai, and curiously turned her face sideways and asked, "What's wrong with A-Niang?" What's the matter? ”

When Gu Huai'an heard this, he also turned his head to look at Yang Huiyun, his eyes full of puzzlement.
