Chapter 21: Anger
"Big sister, I'm hungry." Gu Hao made a bitter face, hugged his round belly and said to Gu Nian, who was burying his head in the field to weed.
"Eldest sister, I'm hungry too, when are we going back to eat?" It is said that the twins have telepathy, no, Gu Yu also followed closely.
Hearing this, Gu Nian stopped the movements in his hand, raised his little face that was a little red from the sun, automatically ignored the stupid and cute appearance of his little brother, looked at the sun, and finally sighed: "Come with me." ”
Since waking up in the morning and drinking a bowl of gruel about the same amount of water as before, I haven't eaten anything again, and it's time to be hungry.
Walking home with the two little radish heads who cheered when they heard that they could go home, Gu Nian calculated in his mind as he walked, and the time it would take to go back and forth from home to the mountain to check the traps he had set and how long it would take to go back and forth.
It was already three o'clock in the morning, and she had to bring the prey she had in the house to the town before noon to exchange it, and then she had to buy it, and the family had almost eaten up all the food, and it would take two months to harvest the rice in the field.
"You two supervise each other's hands and feet, and if anyone is not obedient, they won't have to eat, you know?" When he got home, Gu Niangu was fierce, and said to the two brothers of the Gu family with a tiger face before walking to the kitchen.
"Yes!"
The Gu brothers have just turned five years old this year, and it is the time to be naughty, if Gu Nian is not fierce, he may not be able to suppress them in the past.
Xu is a child from a poor family who has been in charge of the family for a long time, and compared to many bear children in the village, the Gu brothers are already sensible.
After getting up early every day, I obediently had breakfast, and then went to the field with Gu Nian, played obediently on the side, and then came back with Gu Nian to eat when the time came, and occasionally I would pester Gu Nian home when I couldn't stand it when I was hungry (such as now).
After that, I never need to worry about taking a nap and other chores, except for daily hygiene problems.
The most hated thing for the brothers was to wash their hands and feet first thing when they came back from going out, and to wash their hands before eating, which was something they hated the most.
On the contrary, Gu Nian is most satisfied with the Gu family's place is that there is a well dug by Gu's father in his yard, which solves many water problems for the three of their sisters and brothers, and also gives Gu Nian the leisure to pay close attention to the health problems of the Gu family brothers.
Otherwise, it will be a problem to carry water every day, how can Gu Nian still have the leisure to care about these?
"Sister, are you eating sweet potatoes again?" Gu Hao's little face, which was expecting it, collapsed at this time.
They have been eating sweet potatoes for ten days in a row, steamed and boiled, in short, all kinds, but no matter how many tricks there are, they can't change the fact that these are sweet potatoes.
I miss the taste of rice, I miss the meat, I miss the rice, if only my father were still alive, how nice it would be!
Gu's father went to the mountains to hunt when the twins were three years old, but the result was never to return.
So much so that the memory of the two brothers who are big in the Gu family still has a vague image, and the most intuitive thing is the change in food.
Since the death of Gu's father, the family, which was still doing well, suddenly fell from the clouds.
The weak Gu mother, the babbling twins, and the grandmother who only recognizes money but not people.
The burden of all this is on Gu Nian, who is no more than ten years old.
At that time, when I first came to this world, I didn't ease my mind, and I met the heavy responsibility on my shoulders before I enjoyed it!
"It's good to have sweet potatoes to eat, and complain, stay at home obediently after eating, and then my sister will go to the mountains to see if there is a harvest, and come back to take you to the town, if you are good, I will reward one person with a sugar gourd later." After eating the sweet potato in his hand in three or two bites, Gu Nian took the knife and carried the basket on his back, not forgetting to bless him.
"Got it, sister, go and come back quickly!" As soon as they heard that they would be able to eat sugar gourds later, the two brothers Gu Hao and Gu Yu immediately sat down.
"Sister, wow...... Mother ignores us. As soon as Gu Nian was called back from the field, and before she entered the house, she was hugged by Gu Hao and Gu Yu and cried.
"Good, don't cry, stay in the yard with Brother Da Niu, sister go to the house to see my mother, okay?" Gu Nian held back her tears and gently wiped the undried tears on the faces of the two brothers.
"Wow...... Sister, won't my mother wake up? No matter how much we screamed, we couldn't wake her up. Gu Yu sobbed, his little nose had become red because he had wiped it too much, and with that tear stain, it was like a big cat in the village.
"Sister, my mother's body has become so cold, is it that my brother and I are wearing too much, and my mother will be cold if she has no clothes to wear? Last time you said buy us new clothes, we don't want it, buy it for your mother, she won't be cold when she wears it. Gu Hao also added.
Looking at his younger brother, who was becoming more and more sensible, Gu Nian was even more distressed.
In just a month, the two little demon kings who were originally lawless grew up in an instant after their father died suddenly and their mother fell ill in bed.
The more simple and innocent the words, the more sensible they are, and the more distressed Gu Nian becomes.
These should not be borne by them, and if they had a choice, they would have lived their childhood carefree rather than being forced to be sensible as they are now.
"My sister knows that Hao'er and Yu'er are good children, and they will obediently listen to their sister in the future, and their mother will kiss her...... It's just that I'm tired, so I need to sleep, as long as we are all obedient, let my mother sleep in peace, and when she is full, she will wake up. Now let's be obedient, shall we? Gu Nian touched his brother's head.
"Okay, we will be obedient, and Brother Da Niu is waiting for you here, sister, go in quickly, otherwise when my mother is asleep, I won't know that you are back." Gu Yu wanted to say something more, but was pulled down by Gu Hao, and then patted his little chest like a little adult, and said.
"Aunt Lotus, can you go out first? I want to talk to my mother. Gu Nian's eyes were red, and he said to Li Hehua, who had already helped Gu's mother sort out everything.
"Alas, Xiao Nian, your mother has already gone, don't be too sad, I have already asked your Uncle Liu to find your grandfather." Li Lotus patted Gu Nian's shoulder, then shook her head and walked out slowly.
She really feels sorry for Gu Nian, a twelve-year-old girl, her parents have died, and she has two five-year-old brothers, what will she do in the future?
"Mother, you can go with confidence, go to find your father, he must still be waiting for you on the road. I know the reason why you have waited until now is because you can't worry about us, and you are afraid that we will be bullied in the future, in fact, you don't have to worry, I have done a good job in the past month, right? You can finally leave with peace of mind. Gu Nian held Gu's mother's already cold hand.
"Mother, don't worry, it was you who made me experience the feeling of being a relative, I swear, I will definitely raise Brother Hao and Brother Yu well, I will definitely educate them as adults, send them to study, and realize your and Dad's wishes, you go all the way!"
