Chapter 165: Thirteen Years
On the side, Zhiqiu showed a look of chagrin, oh no, she just forgot to tell Miss that Bai Zhi was an orphan, and her husband had died three years ago......
I hope Bai Zhi won't blame Miss.
Zhiqiu cautiously looked at Bai Zhi, and was stunned for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi didn't mean to be angry at all, she still looked faint and had no strength.
"I'm an orphan."
Bai Zhi calmly seemed to be talking about other people's business, "My husband died very early, and there is no one else in the family except me." ”
"Ahh
When Gu Qinghuan heard this, she let out a low snort, a guilty look appeared on her little face, she lowered her head, grabbed the corner of the red cotton jacket, and whispered: "I'm sorry, I don't know......"
She seems to have inadvertently poked someone else's sore spot.
"It's fine." Bai Zhi shook her head and said softly, "I didn't know this before, did I?" So put your head up. ”
Gu Qinghuan raised her head at this time, she thought of something, and her eyes lit up: "If my sister is fine, just rest here!" You can come every day! When I'm resting, I can talk to you, sister! ”
Hearing Gu Qinghuan's sister, Bai Zhi smiled helplessly: "I said that it is better to call my aunt at my age...... Forget it, you better call it sister. ”
Bai Zhi didn't finish speaking, and when she saw Gu Qinghuan's lit eyes go out again, she immediately changed her words.
"Hmmm! Sister. Gu Qinghuan smiled again.
Bai Zhi felt that she really couldn't do anything about this little girl.
Obviously looks flamboyant and bright, and looks like a little bully among children, the kind that chases a group of boys and beats him, how can he actually lie on his stomach softly, which makes people feel very good to bully?
In the afternoon, the soup kitchen stall also finished distributing the porridge, and Gu Qinghuan sent Bai Zhi home.
After a day's conversation, Gu Qinghuan also learned about Bai Zhi, but with her fine clothes and jade food, she couldn't imagine what it meant to be called a family with four walls.
It wasn't until she entered Bai Zhi's single-family courtyard built not far from the lake that she understood what the "four walls of the house" were.
"Sister, ...... at home" Gu Qinghuan opened his mouth, wanting to say, "Why don't you have anything at home?" But after thinking about it, these words seemed to be hurtful words, and he quickly closed his mouth.
Bai Zhi seemed to see through what she was thinking, and smiled: "Are you surprised that there is nothing in my house?" ”
Gu Qinghuan hesitated twice, not daring to lie, and finally nodded obediently, quickly shook his head again, pointed to the corner and said, "Isn't there still a bed!" ”
Seeing Gu Qinghuan desperately trying to comfort herself, Bai Zhi couldn't help laughing.
What a lovely little girl.
When she got along with Gu Qinghuan today, Bai Zhi didn't know how many times she sighed.
"I don't have anything at home, and I can't entertain you, and I don't even have anyone to sit on......" Bai Zhi was a little regretful.
"It's fine!"
Gu Qinghuan said, "I can bring it myself!" Sister, I'll bring my own chair tomorrow! ”
"Are you coming tomorrow too?" Angelica was a little surprised.
Gu Qinghuan showed a nervous expression: "Won't my sister come tomorrow?" Because it's inconvenient? ”
Bai Zhi looked at her for a while, and shook her head lightly in Gu Qinghuan's increasingly nervous gaze: "It won't be inconvenient, I'm used to it, it's just ...... What are you doing here? I don't have anything here. ”
"Isn't there still a bed?" Gu Qinghuan tried hard to comfort Bai Zhi, "And sister, you!" ”
"Flutter! Hahaha......"
Bai Zhi couldn't help laughing, she was really ...... Lost to Gu Qinghuan.
After coming here, she always thought that she would not be associated with anyone, live one day at a time, and then leave this world alone in this winter......
didn't expect it, but because someone mentioned that the Gu family provided a bathhouse for free, I thought about it for a while, and wanted to take a hot bath and rub a bowl of porridge, so I met Gu Qinghuan and had a connection with this world.
"Good, good...... I know. ”
Bai Zhi smiled for a while, wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, she bent down and pinched Gu Qinghuan's soft little face, "Then tomorrow my sister will look for you, and when you are done, come to your sister's house to sit for a while...... Just remember to bring a chair. ”
"Hmm!" Gu Qinghuan nodded.
Since then, Bai Zhi has been going to the Gu family's soup kitchen stall every day.
After Gu Qinghuan finished giving porridge, he went to Bai Zhi's house.
The two of them have endless words to talk about every day.
Not only Gu Qinghuan was chattering there, Bai Zhi would also say a lot to her softly, instead of letting Gu Qinghuan sing a one-man show alone.
If it is a snowstorm and the Gu family does not come out of the stall, Bai Zhi will not go out, but Gu Qinghuan will definitely come to her door, bring hot meals, and stay at her house all day.
Even after the winter has passed......
After so many years, Gu Qinghuan still vividly remembers the memories of getting along with Bai Zhi.
During her days in Pingle Pavilion, many of the things that Bai Zhi had said to her, intentionally or unintentionally, had a role, and she always remembered Bai Zhi, and she regretted what she had said to Bai Zhi......
But because of her special identity, she has never dared to go to Bai Zhi.
Gu Qinghuan was too afraid that because of her, Bai Zhi would be targeted.
The letter ...... Did Bai Zhi ask you to send it seven years ago? Gu Qinghuan looked at the faintly written papyrus and muttered.
Seven years ago, her relationship with her father and brother fell to a freezing point, and she ran to Bai Zhi's house crying, who expected Bai Zhi to speak for her father and brother.
At that time, she was already sad, she only felt hopeless, as if she had been abandoned by the world, so she said a bunch of words to break with Bai Zhi and left Bai Zhi's home.
Two days later, Zhiqiu brought her a letter, which was sent by Bai Zhi.
Gu Qinghuan asked Zhiqiu to throw away the letter, and Zhiqiu said a few words for Bai Zhi, Gu Yixian, and Gu Jingxing.
So, Gu Qinghuan simply ignored Zhiqiu.
To this day, she has reconciled with Zhiqiu, and her relationship with Gu Yixian and Gu Jingxing has eased a little, but she still hasn't seen Bai Zhi again.
"Yes."
Zhiqiu said: "At that time, the young lady asked the slave maid to throw away these letters, but the slave maid always felt that the young lady would one day want to see the ...... The slave was afraid that the young lady would not find the letter at that time, so she accepted it for the young lady first. ”
Pinching the letter, Gu Qinghuan's expression was complicated: "You did a good job." ”
After that, Gu Qinghuan looked at the letter word by word by candlelight.
"Her writing habits are still so different."
Gu Qinghuan was a little unaccustomed to reading the letter horizontally from left to right, "There are also these missing strokes...... I used to make an appointment with her and teach her how to write......"
"It's not too late." Zhiqiu heard the regret in Gu Qinghuan's voice, "When I'm free, Miss can go to Sister Bai Zhi." ”
"That's right."
Gu Qinghuan nodded, his gaze wandering over the letterhead.
This letter, for Zhiqiu, she was seven years late.
And for her, it was thirteen years late for her to see the letter again.
