Chapter 34: The 70s of the Female General (34)
Glancing at her mother's face, first shocked and then worried, the green soul knew what her mother was thinking.
"Mom, I really didn't rob and steal it, I bought it seriously," Qing Soul said helplessly, "Six cans of malt milk essence, and some cloth, were all given by my aunt and grandmother, and my third cousin also gave me twenty yuan, and these snacks were also given by my aunt and grandmother, plus the tickets I had saved privately before." Candy and red cloth, I'm not thinking about you and Uncle Hua...... Will I need it in the future? ”
As soon as Qing Soul said this, Gu Zhen's face immediately turned red, and she glanced at her with disgust before saying, "In front of your brother and sister, what nonsense, there is nothing to do." ”
Qing Soul pursed his lips and smiled, why didn't he have a word? This matter is estimated to be successful.
She took two pieces of peach cake and fed them to Erdan and Yaya's mouths, and said to Gu Zhen: "These wool, I want to ask the third aunt to knit a sweater for my uncle, this wool thread is warm, and then knit one for you and Erdanya, Uncle Hua will also weave one, cotton and cloth, you take the time to make new cotton clothes for each of my uncle and aunt and a few cousins." And he made it of the indigo cloth. ”
Gu Zhen was taken aback: "Do you have any news about your uncle?" ”
"That's not true, but I inquired where the little brother is now, and I sent a letter to the little brother today, and when I receive his reply, I can know the news of the eldest brother and the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother. By the way, Mom, I asked my little brother to come back to our house in the letter, but now it's chaotic outside, and I don't know what kind of life they are spending outside. We have a stutter anyway. ”
Of course this Gu Zhen didn't object, when the girl said that it was okay, she felt that it was no problem, but what the girl meant by this was that her uncle's family was not good? What can I do?
"You, you mean, your uncle and their family," became a reactionary?
How dare the green soul tell her mother this? Didn't scare her mother out of anything.
"The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother are not young, and the uncle and the eldest aunt are both in the army, maybe they are all going to be soldiers? Even if you don't go to the army, now that you're like this, you should go to the countryside. Only the little brother is not yet old enough to be a soldier, so he should be in school, but what classes can be taken in that school now? I thought that his age was almost to the age of going to the countryside, didn't it mean that every child in the city should come to the countryside to be educated youth? Instead of going somewhere else, why don't you come back to us? Anyway, our family is taking care of it. ”
The green soul fooled her mother.
Gu Zhen is honest, not stupid, although she doesn't like to think much about what her daughter says, but this is obviously coaxing.
Gu Zhen slapped her on the back and said angrily: "Even my mother is fooled." Honestly, what happened to your uncle's family? We don't have other skills, and we can't help them with anything, so we can send some food for the assembly. If your little brother can come, let him come, where can't he save a bite to eat? When your dad was alive, he talked all day long, and I don't know how worried I was, so it was all about your dad's heart. ”
She said to pick up her aunt back, and her mother was supportive.
She said that if she asked her brother to come back, her mother still supported her.
It is said that there is no shortage of breath, but in these years, the stuttering of two adults is definitely a big burden for either family. She was confident because of the space, but her mother didn't know, so she didn't hesitate to respond.
Qing Soul looked at Gu Zhen and said solemnly: "Mom, don't worry, no matter what day it is, I will never make you and Erdanya hungry." ”
Gu Zhen stroked her back and sniffed: "Mom knows, my little boy can do it, better than anyone else." Mom has never been hungry since she arrived at our house. ”
After counting the things and cleaning them up again, Qing Soul helped hand it to Gu Zhen's house, put it in the big cabinet and locked it, then took out a lady's watch and handed it to Gu Zhen: "The red cloth mother makes new clothes from the inside out, I asked the third aunt to help you knit the sweater, this watch is what I bought from the supply and marketing cooperatives today, it's not a good watch, Mom, you use it first, and I'll buy you an imported watch later." ”
Gu Zhen looked at her watch and remembered that her father had said that he would buy her a piece before, but before the promise could be redeemed, her father went.
"You, you're buying a sewing machine and a watch, where did the money come from? Also, where did you get your ticket? ”
"I'm going to make some stuff and sell it on the black market, do you think I really don't have any money? How much is it for you? I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't tell you, do you think, a wild boar can be sold for at least one or two hundred yuan, plus chickens, rabbits, and badgers, can I have less money? The tickets are also what I usually save. I just thought, when I have saved enough money to buy you a sewing machine and a watch, I have saved it for two or three years, and I can finally buy it. You can rest assured, when someone asks about the sewing machine, you just say vaguely that I went to the third cousin's house in the county seat. ”
People will make up for it themselves.
Gu Zhen cherished and touched the new watch in her hand, thought about it, and said: "This watch is really good, otherwise, you can give your watch to your mother, and you will still wear this new watch." I'm also ruined with such a good thing. ”
"What is given to you, you will keep. My dad bought it for me, and it's a thought that I keep it. This new watch is my filial piety, you hurry up and keep it. ”
Gu Zhen put the watch under the pillow and put it away, and went to the stove to give Qing Soul a hot meal, and Qing Soul went over to help: "It's also night today, I'll install the sewing machine for you tomorrow." ”
Gu Zhen said: "I don't know how to use a sewing machine yet, I have to call your third aunt to come over and teach me, by the way, when will you pick up your aunt's house?" Let your aunt live in the east house with you, or clean up the house? Why don't I live in the East House with you, and let your aunt sleep in the West House? ”
Qing Soul thought for a while and said, "The east house has a kang, it's warm, let my aunt sleep in the east house, there are many things in the west house, you still live there." In the past two days, we have cleaned up the north and south houses between the stoves, and I will live in the north house when I turn back, and the little brother will come back and let him live in the south house, and the left and right two eggs and the maid will not make trouble at night, let them sleep on the kang in the east house with the aunt. Wait for next year to put the north and south houses on the kang, and then the second egg and the maid will still sleep with me. The second egg is older, and he can sleep in the south room with the little brother. There are many houses in our house, and we are not afraid of not enough to live. ”
Gu Zhen thought about it, this is also possible, the bed she slept on was only one meter five, and with two children, it would look bad, I was afraid that the children would be used to sleeping on the spacious kang and sleeping in bed uncomfortable.
"That's okay, there are just two new quilts at home, you bought sheets and quilts, it's enough, there is an old bed in the utility room, Mom Ming'er will clean it up for you." It's just that if your little brother comes over in winter, our quilt won't be enough. ”
"Don't worry about this, I'll figure it out later. Besides, the little brother may bring the cover roll himself. Or dismantle the old quilt used by my aunt to make a mattress, and the two new beds are just right for me and my brother. ”
