"Intimacy?" Xing'er opened her eyes wide and carefully looked at Gu Changning and Yang Jin, who could still squeeze two more people in the middle, and said in confusion, "Is there one?" The distance between them is not as close as mine is to you. ”

Chu Chu smiled slightly, and did not argue: "It's just a feeling, maybe I feel wrong, I think that Xiaojin is such a person who doesn't talk much, and when he walks with Ning Ning, he becomes much more lively, and the relationship between the two should be very good." ”

"It's okay, Xiao Jin didn't talk less when he walked with me." Xing'er said disappreciatively.

"Hmm." Chu Chu smiled perfunctorily and didn't say anything more.

Chen Shuang listened to their conversation and said, "They're here, let's go, let's continue to the place where there is pigweed." ”

While speaking, Gu Changning and Yang Jin were already close to each other.

"Okay." Xing'er nodded, turned around and walked a little higher without hesitation.

Chu Chu looked at the backs of the two, grabbed the shoulder strap on the back basket, and followed without saying anything.

After the five little girls arrived at the place, they each went their own way, cutting pigweed, cutting wood, and talking back from time to time when they were busy with their work, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After about half an hour, they were busy with their work and were almost ready to go back.

Chu Chu saw that Gu Changning's basket was full of firewood, and asked with concern on his face: "Ning Ning, is it heavy, do you want me to carry it with you?" ”

"It's okay, it's not heavy, just walk on your back, and it's more tiring to carry it." Gu Changning clapped his hands, turned around and squatted down to pick up the bamboo basket, and replied.

"Oh, that's good." Chu Chu smiled softly at her, and her smile was delicate and lovely.

"Let's go, let's go, the sun is out, the sun is uncomfortable, let's go back quickly." Xing'er saw that they were still standing in place, moving slowly, and she couldn't help but urge as she hid under the shade of the tree.

"Here we go." Seeing her anxious look, Chen Shuang said with a smile, and also quickened his pace and walked to her.

Xing'er was anxious and walked relatively fast, Chen Shuang also sped up her pace in order to match her steps, and soon the two of them walked to the front, leaving the remaining three far behind.

The three people who were left behind didn't care, and still slowly descended the mountain according to their habits, but it was rare, and none of the three took the initiative to speak.

"Ningning." In the end, Chu Chu didn't hold back the silence and opened his mouth to break the silence.

"What's wrong?" Gu Changning walked between Yang Jin and Chu Chu, and suddenly heard Chu Chu calling her, she turned her face sideways to look at her and asked.

"It's not much, I just want to say, if you need any help, just say, if I can't do it, you can also beg my father and aunt, they usually love me very much, if I go to speak, it will be no problem." Chu Chu's eyes bent into a crescent-shaped smile, and he said softly.

"Oh, thank you for your kindness, but I don't need any help at the moment." Gu Changning looked at the road under his feet and said casually, "I have my aunt and brother here, and it is not my turn to take care of anything at home." ”

She politely rejected Chu Chu's proposal.

"Really, don't be polite to me, we are good sisters, if you have any difficulties at home, you can tell me, I will definitely help you." Chu Chu still persuaded without giving up, "Actually...... How to say that we also grew up together, we are very familiar with each other, you don't have to feel embarrassed, think that doing this will lose face or something, like we all know, you go up the mountain to chop firewood to supplement the family, this is nothing to see, there is no need to hide it, are you right? ”

Yang Jin walked on the far left, just the place where the sun shone the most, she was sweating from the heat, and was fanning herself with her hands, after hearing Chu Chu's words, her hands paused slightly, and then continued to fan the wind as if nothing happened, without a trace of attention to her.

"Hmm......" Gu Changning nodded very dryly and admitted, "You're right, I went up the mountain to chop firewood just to supplement the family, and now the family situation is okay, I don't have any difficulties, you can rest assured." ”

As long as she didn't say something meaningful in her ear, Gu Changning only hoped that she could let her go and not focus on her.

Seeing Gu Changning admit it so simply, Chu Chu was speechless for a while, stunned for a moment, and then reacted and covered up, "That, that's good, then I'll rest assured." ”

Gu Changning squinted at her and smiled, and quickly turned his face to look at the mountain road in front of him.

It's not that she didn't realize the meaning of Chu Chu's words, but she had seen more insidious means than this in her previous life, and Chu Chu's point could be regarded as a small fight, so she naturally didn't look at it, and she didn't even bother to respond, just hastily and perfunctory.

Chu Chu saw her reply to herself so lukewarmly, feeling as light as a punch in the clouds, a little displeasure appeared in her eyes, and she didn't want to say more, so she closed her mouth at the moment, and the three of them walked down the mountain in silence.

"Then we'll go first." The four of Xing'er stood on the village road in front of Gu Changning's house and said to her, Gu Changning nodded at them, and watched their backs leave.

When they turned around, the smile on Gu Changning's face gradually faded, his eyes sank, he stood quietly in place for a few seconds, and then went home with a very dignified expression on his back.

Who is the person who released the news of A-Niang's miscarriage?

She now had a few suspicions in her mind, but because they had all been in trouble with her family, she felt suspicious no matter which one she looked at, so she couldn't be sure who it was.

Gu Changning felt a little irritable at the moment, she took a deep breath, slowly exhaled the depression in her heart, and then entered the house like a nobody.

Shen Zheng (four o'clock in the afternoon), Gu Changning was busy in the stove room alone, and Gu Huai'an came back from school at this time.

"Hey, brother, you came back so early today?" It's been a few days since I saw my brother in Shenshi, and Gu Changning is still a little unaccustomed to it, "In the past/You came back from the unitary time, and today you came back half an hour earlier than usual, did you finish the homework arranged by Mr. early?" ”

"Hmm...... Well. When Gu Huai'an heard his sister ask, he didn't know how to explain, so he had to answer vaguely, and then left the stove room with a sentence, "I'll go to the study to copy the book." ”

He came back late these days, and when he came back, the meal had already been prepared, so that the only time he could copy books after school was half an hour after dinner, and half an hour when he got up early in the morning, and the speed of completion was a little slower, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

It was rare to come back before the meal today, Gu Huai'an thought that writing a little more was a little, at least one penny a month was to do, so he hurriedly went to the study.

Gu Changning was still holding the dish she was choosing in her hand, and before she could say a word, she saw her brother's figure disappear quickly in front of her like a gust of wind, she was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head speechlessly at the empty courtyard, and lowered her head and continued to be busy choosing vegetables.

Gu Huai'an returned to the study and put down the bookbag, cleaned his hands in the copper basin, wiped the water droplets dry, walked to the table, and began to grind and prepare to copy the book, Qingjun's face was full of relief.

It's good that my sister didn't chase after him, and he didn't know how to explain it, but in fact, he was able to come back early today because there was an accident in the school, and several of the students who were left behind in the school were able to come back early.

Gu Huai calmed down, shook off all the chaotic thoughts in his mind, raised the pen in his hand with a serious face, and landed on the paper carefully and carefully.

It's been almost twenty days since he started to copy books, and he has only copied one thick one in these twenty days, and if he goes on like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to copy two copies in a month, and he has to hurry up, but he can't lose to his sister.

Gu Huai'an has seen his sister chopping wood, planting vegetables, and hatching chicks every day these days, and he wants to improve the living conditions of his family so hard, as an elder brother, he can't help a little, and he is already very embarrassed.

If he can't copy books for a penny a month, he is really a brother in vain!

Gu Changning didn't know anything about Gu Huai'an's plans in her heart, and she was busy calculating a few things that needed to be done at the end of the year.

"A-Niang is four months pregnant, and she should give birth in half a year, and now it is mid-May, which is about to give birth in October." Gu Changning frowned slightly and calculated silently while stuffing dry firewood into the stove, "Autumn radishes can be harvested almost in October, if only we could plant vegetables in the house in October, so that the first batch of vegetables can be sold in about November and February, but ......"

Thinking of this, Gu Changning's brows furrowed even more, if he wants to sell vegetables in the ice and snow, he will definitely have to go out, this year is a cold winter that has not been encountered in fifty years, and this winter coat has not been solved yet.

Gu Changning knew that the cotton robe that Daddy wore in the winter was still there, and Auntie was reluctant to burn it for him, so she put it away.

Because the cotton clothes are very expensive, like the whole body of cotton robes cost ten taels, cotton jackets cost eight taels, cotton pants cost six taels, such clothes are basically only one or two pieces of clothing, only for people who need to go out, the rest of the people are staying at home, staying in the house all winter.

Gu Changning wanted to make Gu Shan's clothes smaller, but she was afraid that Yang Huiyun would not agree, so she lowered her head and thought for a while, but she still felt that she had to tell A-Niang about growing vegetables in the house as soon as possible.

If you really want to sell vegetables in winter, A-Niang will definitely not let her go to the town alone, and she will definitely ask her brother to accompany her, so she needs two winter clothes.

Making winter clothes is more troublesome than making summer clothes, not to mention that it is still two people, as long as Gu Changning thinks about it, he feels that this matter cannot be delayed any longer.

If she really didn't find a suitable reason, she was afraid that she would have to grind.

Grind until my brother and A-Niang agree!

Gu Changning secretly made a decision in his heart.

After dinner, Gu Changning went to the main room of the North House with his sewing basket with a restless face, and was seen by Yang Huiyun with some clues.

"Ning Ning, are you hiding something from A-Niang?" Yang Huiyun looked at her daughter full of dignification.
