Chapter Twenty-Eight: Departure
Zhao suddenly came back to his senses, lowered his eyes slightly, looked at her trembling right hand, and covered his mouth in a panic.
It is difficult to recover when it is covered with water, and it is impossible to recover it if it hurts people.
Su Jiu'er turned her head to look at the ground to the side, her messy broken hair covering her slightly swollen left side of her face, biting her lower lip tightly, and her eyes were full of tears.
She never thought that Zhao would say such a thing.
The heart seemed to be tightly held by a hand, and it hurt to hold it, and the real pain made Su Jiu'er a little suffocated.
"Mother." Su Jiu'er tucked the broken hair in her ear behind her ear and pretended to be calm and looked at Zhao.
Zhao Shi "chuckled" in his heart, his face was flustered, and his hands grabbed Su Jiu'er's arm uneasily.
"You can't force me to leave Xianggong because of those gossip." Su Jiu'er was unexpectedly calm, her tone was tepid, as if she was saying something that had nothing to do with her, "What kind of person Xianggong is, I know very well in my heart, if you really want to sever the mother-daughter relationship......."
When Zhao heard Su Jiu'er say this, he panicked and hurriedly covered Su Jiu'er's lips with his hand.
She was just too angry, she didn't mean that.
Su Jiu'er pulled Zhao's hand down unhurriedly and said slowly, "If you really think that I have insulted your reputation with Xianggong, I will leave Zhaojia Village with Xianggong and never come back." ”
The weather outside is very good, and the clear sun shines on the earth, warming everything in the world.
Zhao's body shook slightly, and he looked at Su Jiu'er in disbelief.
There is another reason why she let Su Jiu'er reconcile, that is, she hopes that Su Jiu'er will marry An Zeqing.
She and Su's father took care of Su Jiu'er meticulously, and they didn't let her do any heavy work, just because they were afraid that she would suffer a little.
The Zhao family wholeheartedly hopes that Su Jiu'er will marry An Zeqing as soon as possible, so that she can become the wife of Shangguan and live without being tired and tired.
But she never expected that Su Jiu'er would be so opposed, and she would ignore the love between their mother and daughter.
Su Jiu'er reached out and pushed Zhao's hand away, and turned to leave.
When Su Jiu'er walked out of the gate of the Su family, her chest was uncomfortable, and she looked back at the Su family, where she had lived for more than ten years, and she was reluctant to give up.
As long as my father and my brother are living well, even if my father and mother don't recognize her, so what?
The steps under his feet became heavier and heavier, and Su Jiu'er pinched his arm fiercely.
The pain in her arm was far less than the pain in her heart, and she wanted to change her past fate, and many things changed with it.
Gu Feng's gossip, Su Jiu'er had a headache, even if he told the village chief, I was afraid it would be useless.
What to do?
Su Jiu'er racked her brains and walked towards home.
As soon as he entered the house, a white thing quickly moved to Su Jiu'er's legs.
Su Jiu'er lowered her eyes, looked at Xiao Bai who was rubbing around her legs, the corners of her lips unconsciously raised, and hugged Xiao Bai up.
Since that night, Su Jiu'er has been getting better and better to Xiaobai, giving him meat to eat and bathing Xiaobai every two days.
Holding Xiaobai in one hand, Su Jiu'er turned around and closed the door, and dropped the bolt with his hand.
Seeing that Gu Feng was chopping wood, Su Jiu'er walked over with a smile on her face, and slowly asked, "Xianggong, what do you want to eat at noon today?" ”
In the corner of the wall was a simple grass hut set up by Gu Feng, and piles of firewood were neatly placed there.
Gu Feng took a piece of firewood, put it on the stone, raised the axe in his hand, and the firewood was instantly split in half, and placed the chopped firewood with those.
After thinking for a while, Gu Feng raised his eyes and looked at Su Jiu'er, "I bought meat today, fried meat and ate it." ”
He rarely caught pork when hunting, and if he wanted to eat pork on weekdays, he had to go to the butcher's house to buy it.
"Yes." Su Jiu'er still responded obediently, touched Xiaobai's little head, and couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth when she looked at Xiaobai's enjoyment.
Putting Xiaobai on the ground, Su Jiu'er was busy washing his hands and going to work for lunch.
A plate of stir-fried cabbage, a plate of fried shredded pork with chili, Su Jiu'er can start the meal now when the rice is cooked.
Su Jiu'er walked out of the house, looked at the pile of firewood that had been chopped on the side, and asked suspiciously, "Xianggong, we won't be able to use up so much firewood for a while, you come over and rest." ”
Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Su Jiu'er wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, looking at Gu Feng's appearance of not being afraid of tiredness at work, he couldn't help but admire, he really couldn't be idle for a moment.
"Be prepared." Gu Feng said, then he stopped what he was doing and put the axe aside, "In the afternoon, I will go to the river to brush the bath barrel, and I can use it when I turn around." ”
A bathtub that two people can wash together?
The tips of Su Jiu'er's ears turned slightly red, and the shop guy must have said this deliberately, "Okay, you should wash your hands first and eat later." ”
"Is Daddy's health better?" Gu Feng didn't think to ask just now.
Su Jiu'er took out a wooden basin, scooped a spoonful of water from the water tank and poured it into the wooden basin, "It's much better, Dad also sent my younger brother to study." ”
"That's good." Gu Feng responded, rubbed his hands vigorously, the originally clean water instantly became turbid, poured the water directly into the vegetable field, put the basin on the ground, and waited for Su Jiu'er to scoop water for him.
"Well," Su Jiu'er said, slowly squatting down, and looking at Gu Feng with a smile in her eyebrows, "Xianggong, where did you live before?" ”
Gu Feng washed his hands carefully, raised his eyes to look at Su Jiu'er, and pondered, "I have lived in many places, but I haven't lived for long. ”
Gu Feng washed his hands three times, took the handkerchief from Su Jiu'er's hand, and wiped it.
"I've been in this village since I was born, and the farthest I've ever been is in the town," Su Jiu'er lowered her eyes slightly, and said with some pity, "It would be great if I could go to so many places like you." ”
Su Jiu'er thought about testing it to see if Gu Feng was willing to move out of here.
"You want to go out and have a look?" Gu Feng followed Su Jiu'er towards the house and asked casually.
"If it's possible, really want to look around." Su Jiu'er knew that this idea was very unrealistic, and when they had children, she could only watch the children in the small courtyard, and there was no way to go far.
"Okay, I'll take you out in the fall?" Gu Feng said with a serious face.
This time it was Su Jiu'er's turn to be stunned, she just said casually, just to see if Gu Feng was willing to leave here, but she didn't expect Gu Feng to really be willing to take her out.
"Huh?" Gu Feng frowned slightly, looking at Su Jiu'er's stunned appearance, puzzled.
"Okay." Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng with a smile, and the corners of her lips hooked up a bright smile, "Xianggong, you are so good!" ”
On the surface, she has been currying favor with Gu Feng, but he has given her everything he can give her.
Gu Feng walked to the stove, smelled the aroma of rice, and glanced back at Su Jiu'er, "Is this rice good?" ”
"Almost." Su Jiu'er said, hurriedly extinguished the fire in the stove, and then opened the lid and looked at the rice in the bowl one by one.
Su Jiu'er reached out to serve the rice, but as soon as she touched the edge of the bowl, she suddenly retracted her hand, put her hand next to her earlobe, and frowned slightly.
It's hot.
I was so distracted just now that I forgot to wrap the bowl in a cloth.
Gu Feng took Su Jiu'er's left hand down, looked at the red thumb and index finger, put it to his mouth, and blew vigorously, "You have to flush it with cold water." ”
Gu Feng took Su Jiu'er's left wrist and walked outside, scooped a spoonful of cold water into the wooden basin, and put both of her hands into the cold water.
"Is it better now?" Gu Feng looked at Su Jiu'er's fingers red, and raised his eyes to look at Su Jiu'er worriedly, just in time to meet Su Jiu'er's gaze.
"Much better." Su Jiu'er smiled in her eyes and nodded, "It doesn't hurt." ”
For her, this bit of heat is not painful at all, and she has experienced the heartache of a thousand cuts.
Su Jiu'er smiled and took out her hand, her fingertips were still red, "Let's go eat, I'm a little hungry!" ”
Drying her hands, Su Jiu'er was about to hold the towel to serve the rice, but she didn't want Gu Feng to take the rice out and put it on the table earlier.
"Aren't you too hot?" Su Jiu'er hurriedly walked up to Gu Feng, grabbed his hand, and looked at his palm without any change.
"I'm rough and thick-skinned." Gu Feng said, took a spoon and began to scoop rice, handed Su Jiu'er a bowl, and then served a bowl to himself.
During the meal, Su Jiu'er couldn't help but ask, "Xianggong, where are we going to play in autumn?" ”
"Where do you want to go?" Gu Feng asked rhetorically, put a piece of chopsticks and meat into Su Jiu'er's bowl, and then ate the vegetables by himself.
"I don't know." Su Jiu'er had been to the capital in her previous life, and she had never played in other places, "Xianggong, where you think it is good, let's go there to play." ”
Hearing Su Jiu'er say this, Gu Feng nodded his head, "En." ”
I was eating when I heard a knock on the door.
Su Jiu'er "chuckled" in her heart, remembered those rumors, glanced at Gu Feng worriedly, then lowered her eyes slightly, put down the chopsticks in her hand, "I ......"
Before she finished her words, Gu Feng had already put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked outside.
Su Jiu'er hurriedly followed, feeling up and down in her heart, not knowing who would come at this time.
When she saw Father Su standing at the gate, Su Jiu'er chuckled in her heart and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Dad, are you here?" Su Jiu'er exclaimed with a serious face.
Father Su smiled and handed a basket in his hand to Gu Feng's hand, "My body is finally better, don't you want to come over and take a look, see you." ”
"Father-in-law, please come in." Gu Feng turned sideways slightly and invited Father Su in.
Father Su's body was slumped, a head shorter than Gu Feng, and he walked up to Su Jiu'er, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and he didn't say a word.
Su Jiu'er didn't know what he was doing, so she could only pretend that nothing happened, "Dad, we're eating, let's eat together!" ”
Father Su put his hands behind his back, walked slowly to the stone table, and sat on the stone bench slowly.
