Chapter 8: Returning Home
In the eyes of thirteen-year-old Gu Bai, although her sister doesn't talk much, she is not a person who loves to cry at every turn, even if she wants to cry, she will secretly cry behind her back, how big of a thing has to happen before she will shed tears in front of herself?
is different from other families who desperately squeeze their daughters to subsidize their sons, Gu's father and Gu's mother told Gu Bai when they were young that he and Gu Qing are sisters and brothers connected by blood, and they will support each other in the future.
Therefore, Gu Bai has had the consciousness of protecting Gu Qing since he was a child, and the relationship between the sister and brother has always been very good.
Now that Gu Qing may be bullied, how can Gu Bai not be angry?
He thought about it in his heart, which leather boy in the village made his sister angry, if he let him know, he would definitely have to teach that person a good lesson!
As the child king of the village, Gu Bai couldn't be more confident.
Seeing Gu Bai's angry little lion appearance, Gu Qing's heart was warm and she couldn't help laughing, she blinked her eyes, blinked the astringency in her eyes, and then rubbed Gu Bai's head a few times, "I'm fine, I just feel like I haven't seen Xiaobai for a long time, and I miss you a little in my heart......."
This is Gu Qing's heart.
In the years after her parents and Gu Bai left, she could only shed tears in front of the three portraits every time she missed her family, and the loneliness of being the only one left in the world could drive people crazy.
In fact, Gu Qing also felt that it was not easy for him to survive alone for so many years.
Gu Qing just said what was in his heart, but Gu Bai's face flushed violently.
He thinks that today's sister is so weird, opening her mouth is such a sensual word.
But......
Hearing her sister say that she missed herself, Gu Bai couldn't help but be happy in her heart.
That doesn't seem like a bad feeling.
In order to hide his embarrassment, Gu Bai glared at Gu Qing with a red face, "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, you just went to the school to get the notice today, and it's only been half a day...... By the way, I've said it many times, you are not allowed to call me Xiaobai, every time I hear you call me that, I will think of Wu Jianjian's little white dog! ”
Gu Qing laughed out loud.
Listening to her brother's complaints, and then looking at the familiar door in front of her, this vivid everything made Gu Qing sure again that she was indeed reborn.
Since we have been born again, it is natural that we should start all over again.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Qing suppressed all the emotions in his heart, and looked at Gu Bai with a smile, "Okay, Xiaobai." ”
Gu Bai: ......
The sister and brother were bickering as they entered the house side by side.
The Gu family is an outsider in Xiaowu Village, and they only moved to Xiaowu Village from the grandfather generation of Gu Qing's sisters and brothers, and they have taken root in Xiaowu Village for decades.
Grandpa Gu fled to Xiaowu Village, and later became his own son in Xiaowu Village, so he settled down, and there was Gu Guozhang, that is, Gu Qing's father, the only son, and now the Gu family lives in the three yellow mud bungalows that were built when Grandpa Gu became married, and they have been repaired and lived in for decades.
Grandpa Gu made a living by making furniture for people in his early years, Gu's father Gu Guozhang learned a good craft of making furniture with Grandpa Gu since he was a child, and the furniture made was both strong and beautiful, and he was a famous craftsman in Shili Eight Villages, and because of his good craftsmanship, he was later recruited into the furniture factory in the county and became a formal worker.
In the 80s, regular workers could be said to have a golden job in their hands, not to mention how enviable they were.
In recent years, the furniture factory in the county is the best time for efficiency, Gu Guozhang's craftsmanship is good, and he gets a salary of 55 yuan a month, which is said to be higher than that of the college graduates of state-owned enterprises, which makes many people in Xiaowu Village envious and their eyes are almost green.
At the beginning, the two sons of the old Wu family, Wu Shenglin and Zhao Sanmei were willing to let their golden phoenix Wu Jianren and Gu Qing marry, one of the very important reasons was that Gu Guozhang was a regular worker holding a golden rice bowl.
The family's livelihood is supported by Gu Guozhang, and Gu's mother Yang Xiuyun's burden is naturally not heavy, even in the special years of the past few years, she rarely went to work to earn work, in addition to taking care of the family's own land, she did housework at home to take care of the two children.
It can be said that Yang Xiuyun is the envy of all women in Xiaowu Village.
The two sisters and brothers walked into the house while talking, and when they reached the door of the hall, Gu's mother Yang Xiuyun greeted them with two enamel cups, "Look at your sisters and brothers who are sweaty, drink some mung bean soup, they have been in the well all morning, and now they are cold......
Taking the enamel cup from Yang Xiuyun's hand, Gu Qing was not in a hurry to drink mung bean soup, but looked at her mother almost greedily.
Gu Qing in his previous life was calculated by Wu Jianren and Wu Jianhong, and he hurriedly married into the Wu family before graduating from high school.
Since then, while Gu Qing has lost his reputation, the old Wu family and the two members of the family have gradually torn off their masks of kindness and revealed their hideous faces to Gu Qing, and Gu Qing's life has naturally become particularly difficult.
For this reason, Gu Guozhang and Yang Xiuyun both blamed themselves in their hearts, if they didn't know people clearly, and set such a family business for Gu Qing, Gu Qing would not have fallen into such a situation.
Later, when Gu Guozhang was at work, he was accidentally smashed down by the wood in the factory and died, Gu Bai was angry for a while, in order to stand up for Gu Qing, he went to the city alone to find Zhang Jie to seek justice, but he was in a car accident halfway.
The daughter had a hard time, her husband and son died unexpectedly one after another, Yang Xiuyun's body collapsed almost overnight, and she also passed away after lying on the hospital bed for half a year.
In this short period of time, Gu Qing no longer has any relatives.
In the following years, Gu Qing gradually lived a good life relying on her hard work, but the death of her relatives was undoubtedly an irreparable regret, forming a huge hole in her heart, every time she saw the portraits of her parents and younger brother, she couldn't help but think, if she hadn't chosen to go to the old Wu family with Wu Jianhong and didn't marry Wu Jianren, would all this not have happened, and her parents and younger brother would not have left?
Gu Qing in his previous life could only dream of it, but now that he is back at the age of seventeen, Gu Qing can obviously make this assumption come true.
Thinking back to all kinds of previous lives in his heart, and then looking at his mother's vivid face that only existed in his memory, Gu Qing felt sad and happy in his heart, and couldn't help but reddened his eyes again.
