Chapter 14: The sorrow of the child and the greatness of the sky

Ah Gui's wife has a feeling, she feels that today's Ah Gui is definitely the most pitiful Ah Gui she has seen in the past ten years, when she was pregnant and had no money left at home, he was full of confidence, and smiled and told her that he didn't have to worry about it.

Now Ah Gui is no longer smiling, not confident, no longer telling her not to worry, now Ah Gui seems to have accepted his fate. She couldn't help but wonder if she was really wrong, and everything she did was really for this family?

Then why is the pillar of this family on the contrary, but it has become no longer the pillar? Is he old? Beyond one's power? Or did you go too far?

She didn't know the answer, maybe there was never the right answer, and even if she did, she didn't think the right answer was necessarily the right one.

But even if she doesn't have an answer, she has to live, after all, life has to go on, isn't it, after all, she still has Bao'er. As soon as she thought of Bao'er, Ah Gui's wife felt more strength in her heart.

Ah Gui's wife said: "Aunt Zhang, don't care, he is too, it's just a little uncomfortable."

"Well, I know"

"Then when you go back later, I'll go with you, after all, this family affair has been decided, and Yuanzi will have to get married in half a month, so let her stay at home for a few days, it's just that I'm making trouble for you, and you have to find someone again."

Widow Zhang hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's not troublesome, it should be, it should be, it's just that I can't bear this child."

Yes, this is how it should be, because she doesn't want Ah Gui to be like this, she thinks that if Yuanzi comes back, Ah Gui should be better, even if she is tired, but can she compare to Ah Gui's tiredness?

The person who knows Ah Gui best is not only Ah Gui's wife, but also this widow Zhang who locked Ah Gui in her heart. It's okay to be dragged by two women at the same time, but he doesn't know everything, but even if he knows, he won't necessarily be grateful, because she is now holding another girl, another girl who he pushed into the fire pit with one hand.

Ah Gui entered the house and saw Bao'er who was at a loss in the house, Bao'er's face was full of curiosity and confusion, but Bao'er didn't dare to ask, Ah Gui put his hand on Bao'er's head, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "Bao'er grow up quickly, protect your sister when you grow up"

Bao'er has long been accustomed to Ah Gui's actions, but his countless protests have been ruthlessly rejected, and he admits it, who let this man be his father. But he still habitually rolled his eyes, even his father can't be so unscrupulous, what if he is really touched and doesn't grow tall, he can't touch it again, but can he grow taller at that time?

Bao'er also has troubles, but his troubles are not understood, and they are not connected to Gui's troubles.

The leaves on the road are also troubled, how these humans always like to step on themselves, really, especially since the woman just stepped on herself not long ago, and now she is going to be stepped on again. Sure enough, it makes sense for the tree to grow higher, so that it is not easy to be stepped on all the time.

Walking on the road were two women, one older and one small, one did not speak, and the other did not know how to talk. The big one is Ah Gui's wife, and the small one is Yuanzi.

It's just that Yuanzi is still a little confused. Why did A-Niang suddenly come to the store, and Aunt Zhang suddenly said that she didn't need to help herself, and let herself go home for a few days. She didn't understand that if she went home by herself, wouldn't Aunt Zhang be busier alone?

She didn't understand why A-Niang had to pick her up at this time, she thought that if she was more idle after the New Year, it would not be too late for her to go back.

There is also Yuanzi thinking about what Aunt Zhang said to her before leaving, and she understood some of them, such as letting herself go home to accompany her family well, such as taking good care of herself.

But there are some things she hasn't figured out what they mean until now, for example, Aunt Zhang told her that she wants to open up any bad things in the future, and think more about her parents and family, but what bad things can she have, is it that Aunt Zhang feels that she hasn't learned to make pastries?

But isn't this a slow job, it's not easy to learn a craft like Aunt Zhang, but I'm not so bad.

For example, Aunt Zhang told herself that no matter where she goes in the future or what kind of people she meets, she must believe that there are people in this world who love her.

Eh, I know, I know that someone loves me, my father and aunt Bao'er and Aunt Zhang love me, and where are I going to go in the future, and what kind of people will I meet? At most, it's just to meet the people in the town, where else can you go? How weird?

A few days ago, Aunt Zhang told herself about getting married, could it be that my father and mother want to marry me far away, what can I do, if I miss my father, I have to walk for a long time.

And getting married, I am actually not ready for such a big thing, although I don't have anything to prepare, but this came too suddenly. I just don't know which young man he is, whether he looks good or not, whether he is as good-looking as himself.

But she immediately shook her head, laughing at herself in her heart, how could she be as good-looking as herself, she has been in town for half a year, and she has never seen a man as good-looking as a woman, sure enough, a woman is the best-looking person, there is no one.

Ah Gui's wife looked at Yuanzi, who was in a daze for a while and shook her head for a while, and muttered in her heart, what's wrong with this child, is there a magic barrier? No, it's okay when you leave. Could it be that Aunt Zhang has already told this child about Zhang Gongzi? That's why I can't stand the blow, and I am in a daze and shaking my head?

Just not like that? If Aunt Zhang told Yuanzi, she would tell herself, but Aunt Zhang didn't believe it, and if Aunt Zhang really wanted to be good for Yuanzi, she wouldn't tell Yuanzi the truth. At least let Yuanzi be happy at home for a few days, and how many days can she be happy.

But she's still not steady, is it really good to walk like this? If you accidentally fall on your heel and break your face, it's not good. This girl, that is, her face is still expensive, otherwise how could she get into Mrs. Zhang's eyes?

"A-Niang, what are you looking at?"

I don't know when Yuanzi was staring at her A-Niang and looked at it again, Agui's wife hurriedly said, "Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing."

"Oh"

Yuanzi agreed, she thought it was so strange today, Aunt Zhang was strange, and A-Niang was also strange, is it strange that this thing is contagious? Unlikely.

But why does it always feel like something is wrong? By the way, Aunt Zhang said before that she wanted to help me ask what the person I was going to marry looked like, but I don't know if Aunt Zhang heard it. But I can't hear this good news this year, so I can only wait until next year to go to the store and ask Aunt Zhang.

When she thought of Aunt Zhang, Yuanzi's heart was warm, and her hands were also warm, because Aunt Zhang packed a lot of pastries for it before leaving, including mung bean cakes, red bean cakes, fragrant cakes, and a lot of pastries, a full bag.

Among them, Aunt Zhang made it, and there were also her own hands, Aunt Zhang made it for her father and mother, and she made it for Bao'er, Bao'er shouldn't mind making it herself, of course, she didn't want to give her father and mother a taste of what she made, but maybe she was not very confident, and she didn't know if her father and mother could see her own craftsmanship.

The sorrow of the little woman is far away and close at hand, but this sorrow seems to be as important as whether to marry or not to let her father and mother taste her own craft, and it lingers in Yuanzi's heart, and from time to time it will come out to think about it, and then it will be buried in the bottom of her heart, waiting for the next appearance.

After walking for a while, Yuanzi finally saw the familiar entrance of the village, then the familiar streets and alleys, and finally the familiar small home. Although it is not magnificent, it is warm enough to carry the memories of her childhood.

She looked into a corner, and it didn't seem to be anything special, but she knew that there was a copper coin that she and Bao'er had secretly hidden when they were young.

She still remembered what Bao'er told her after burying it, he said sister, let's bury it in the spring, and when it comes to autumn, there will be a baby of money. It's just that we can't dig it yet, we have to let it continue to grow, grow green shoots, grow into small trees, and then grow into towering trees before we can pick them.

At that time, there were copper coins on the trees, and we could pick as many as we wanted, and then we would sit under the trees, and when autumn came, we would come and listen to the sound of the money falling to the ground. But you must remember to wear Daddy's hat, otherwise you will smash your head out of several large bags.

Yuanzi remembered that she was smiling very happily, and Bao'er was also smiling very happily, Yuanzi didn't say that Bao'er's wish was impossible to come true, she just silently accompanied Bao'er to come over to see when she was free, and before she knew it, it had become a habit.

"Daddy, sister and auntie, they're back"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard Bao'er's voice, and then he ran to Ah Gui's wife and Yuanzi in a hurry, took Yuanzi's hand, and said, "Sister, you finally came back, and you won't come back to see me after you came out for you, do you know?" Since you're gone, I've been bored playing thieves alone."

Yuanzi looked at Bao'er, who was much older than when she left home, and said gently: "Bao'er, my sister also wants to come back to see you, but I haven't gone away for the time being, I'll come back and play with you."

Hearing Yuanzi's promise, Bao'er was very happy, but he seemed to remember something, and suddenly became a little depressed, Yuanzi looked at Bao'er's mood and asked with some worry: "What's wrong Bao'er, is there anything unhappy?" ”

Bao'er said with low interest: "Sister, why didn't you tell me when you left, Daddy said that you would come back in a few days, but I waited for several days and couldn't wait for you to come back."

When Yuanzi heard it, it turned out to be this thing, what should she say, she herself was told to go to Aunt Zhang the day before she left, and then left the next morning, and she didn't have a chance to say anything to him.

And if you say it or not, you have to leave, and if you say it to Bao'er, you will be afraid that you will be reluctant to leave, but if you don't want to go, can you really not leave?

I can't help myself when I leave, and it's not up to me when I come back, and children are also very helpless.

She touched Bao'er's head and said, "Silly Bao'er, you still don't understand, isn't this me back now?" And I brought a lot of your favorite pastries back, but they were delicious."

As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, Bao'er cheered up again, and he happily took the burden in Yuanzi's hand, hey, don't say it, it's really a bit heavy, but the heavier it is, the more good things there are. Bao'er wanted to open the burden immediately to see what was going on, but she didn't want Gui's wife to stop her.

"Bao'er, let's go back first, and we'll see it when we go back."

Bao'er had no choice but to suppress the curiosity in her heart and go back to see again.

The three of them walked into the house, and at this time, Ah Gui just came out of the house, and the dazzling sunlight made Ah Gui couldn't help but block it with his hand, and then slowly moved away.

He looked at the three people who came in front of him, looked at his family, he thought, how nice it would be if this moment could last a long time, he thought, how good it would be if it was only today, not tomorrow, he thought, this is so good.
