Chapter 1: A farce caused by a hoe
Gu Nansang was lying on the wooden bed, staring blankly at the roof.
The yellow mud walls, the black and gray beams, and the blue and white roof tiles, occasionally reveal one or two points of light, which are slightly dazzling.
When it rains, it will definitely leak.
Thinking like this, her sense of smell seemed to become more sensitive, and she instantly smelled the damp and moldy smell of the room.
The head is still groggy, it has been like this for the past few days, and Gu Nansang doesn't remember how many days it is. She was sick in a daze, and occasionally someone came to feed her a bowl of crystal clear rice soup, and that person was probably the mother of this body.
She raised her hand and touched her forehead, feeling that it was not so hot anymore, she breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.
"Chicken thief boss, if you don't let labor and management drink and drive, this is good, you can save the effort of going to the police station to rebuild, and go back to the furnace to rebuild." Gu Nansang muttered, wrapped himself in a thin quilt, turned over, and fell asleep.
A steady stream of memory fragments poured into my mind like a torrential rain.
The name of the original owner of this body is also Gu Nansang, and his father is a showman, called Gu Congzhi. Teaching in a private school in Lotus Village, but because he had to do heavy work while shouldering the burden of the family, he became ill for a long time after going to the city to catch the exam, and after using up the family's money, he left four children and his wife, and died. After the list was released, the family learned that he had won the lift, but it didn't help.
Mother Xu, named Xu Suyi, is the daughter of a wealthy family in Linfeng City, because of a temple fair trip, she admired the talented Gu Cong, and the two had the same heart. The family naturally did not agree to this family business, but she insisted on marrying. In the end, her father was forced to deny this daughter, so she followed Gu Zhizhi, who had nothing to do, and came to Lotus Village to settle down.
There are also elder brothers, sisters, younger brothers, plus Gu Nansang, four children, after Gu Congzhi's death, this family can be described as making ends meet and having four walls.
Xu's is a woman, usually only doing some female celebrities to subsidize the family, and she is also busy with farming, which is really exhausting.
The next is some very fragmentary memories, such as the name of this small village is Lotus Village, which is named after the lotus ponds in the village, rich in lotus roots and other aquatic products; The two daughters of the widow's family in the east of the village had a good relationship with the original owner; Five days ago, he came back from digging the bird's nest and hid the bird's eggs in a bush of thorns in the back mountain; Three days ago, because his younger brother Gu Beihuai was crying, he had to eat a tender lotus pod in the pond, and the original owner went to pick it, and then fell into the pond.
The rest of the matter is vague, the original owner is just a nine-year-old child, after falling into the pond, Gu Beihuai only knows how to cry, so when the original owner was rescued, he was already out of breath.
Next is Gu Nansang's own memory.
Gu Nansang sighed and felt a headache.
Even if the world is bizarre and the life pressure is great, but it is still the world she is familiar with, and she was finally promoted to marketing manager, and she has only lived a good life for a few years, and she has died like this?
It's a loss no matter how you think about it!
She sighed again and again, thinking that it was better to sleep first, maybe this was her own dream?
Even if it's not a dream, it's better to take care of your spirit first.
Gu Nansang closed his eyes again.
But it seems that she is destined to not sleep.
There was a small noise outside the door.
Gu Nansang lifted the quilt and covered his head, unexpectedly.
But the noise grew louder and louder, buzzing like a swarm of flies in a meeting near the ears.
I can't live this day!
Gu Nansang's heart was on fire, the discomfort and panic of the other world, and the anger of getting up after being in bed for three days broke out at this moment, and he lifted the quilt, slumped his patched cotton shoes, and pushed the door out.
I saw a group of people surrounding the door of the farmhouse courtyard, led by a woman with a black and red face, she was huge, just standing there was imposing, not to mention her loud and powerful voice: "I said the Gu family, although Gu Xiucai went, your family is having a hard time, but you can't do this thing of stealing chickens and dogs!" We are all honest croppers, and we live by doing things with hoes, and if you take my hoe, aren't you the guy who robbed me of food? ”
Although Gu Congzhi was later lifted, because he had passed away, the people in the government were very unhappy when they bumped into the funeral instead of reporting good news. I thought that I would get some reward money, but I also failed, and I went back to report it, and the people above also felt that it was a pity, so this matter was silent. Some people in the village don't know, so they still call him Xiucai.
There was also a man standing next to her, who was shorter than this woman, his eyes were full of bright light, and he said in a rough voice: "Sister Xu, I know that your family is not having a good time, and it doesn't matter if you lend it to you, but how can you steal?" You are a scholar, why don't you understand this? ”
Xu was originally a young lady from the boudoir, even if years of time had worn away her pampered back then, the softness and delicacy in her bones still made her blush.
She forced herself to calm down and tried to appease the two: "Changsheng, Osmanthus, although my family is poor and simple, when my husband is here, he has never had a bad relationship with anyone in the village. I also know a few words, and I know etiquette, righteousness, and shame, how can I steal your family's things? ”
And Gu Beihuai had a small black face and opened his immature arms, although he was only at the height of his mother's waist, he still tried his best to protect his mother behind him.
But Xu Shi said this, Zhao Guihua didn't agree, she looked at her with a sharp eye, crossed her waist with one hand, and pointed the other hand straight at the bridge of Xu's nose, and said with yellow teeth: "What do you mean?" I haven't had a bad relationship with anyone, which means that I came to you specifically to find fault? The sky has eyes, these readers are really black and can be said to be white! The people who bully our crops can't speak, it's really black-hearted! ”
Outside the small courtyard, there were originally groups of people in twos and threes, and at this moment, they were talking about it, and the orphans and widows of the Gu family were completely attacked by the group, and they looked like they were passively beaten.
Gu Beihuai protected his mother, gritting his teeth with hatred, his big black and white eyes were full of hostility.
Gu Nansang leaned against the door and looked at it for a while, probably knowing the situation, his eyes narrowed, he took off one of his shoes casually, and threw it towards the gate of the courtyard-
Everyone talked about it, but unexpectedly, a worn-out cotton shoe with dirt suddenly flew out of the oblique ground.
It had just rained earlier, and there were mud puddles in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, and the shoes were impartial, and they landed in front of Zhao Guihua, splashing a circle of mud dots.
Zhao Guihua seemed to have suddenly taken a dumb medicine, motionless, and slowly looked at the place where she came from with her dull gaze.
"Mother!" I saw a little girl with a bun of horns coming over with one foot jumping and jumping, she pouted, and said very unhappily: "Why is the house so noisy? When I went to sleep, I thought it was a bunch of flies in a meeting! ”
The people around him were a little stumbling for a while.
Xu Shi was happy to see that she was awake and could go out by herself, and she didn't care about arguing with Zhao Guihua, so she hurriedly touched her daughter's head and asked softly, "Are you better?" ”
Gu Nansang nodded: "It's much better." It's just that when I go out, I step on a piece of, mother, what should I do with my shoes! ”
As soon as she said this, before Xu had time to say anything, he heard Zhao Guihua vomit three times in a row, and her face turned green.
Gu Nansang seemed to have only noticed someone else now, timidly hid in Xu's arms, and whispered: "Mother, why are Da Niu and Erniu here?" ”
Li Da Niu and Li Erniu are the two sons of Li Changsheng and Zhao Guihua, different from the cunning and cunning of their parents, the two of them stood behind their parents, looking a little cramped, especially Li Erniu, who seemed to feel ashamed, and his ears were red all the way.
Zhao Guihua reacted at this time, her eyes were vicious, her eyebrows were raised in anger, and she shouted at Xu's family: "I said the Gu family, what kind of upbringing are you!" Little Niko's shoes have smashed in my face! Don't say anything about stealing from me, do you still want to kill me? All the folks have seen it clearly, but you want to give us a comment on the Li family! ”
Gu Nansang said in his heart, you can also say this, a nine-year-old child can kill you?
She held Xu's warm hand, blinked her eyes, and said: "Aunt Osmanthus, it turned out to be you, who am I, the voice is like a bell, the body is like a copper tripod, so powerful, worthy of Aunt Osmanthus." ”
No one in the village has read any books, what Gu Nansang said, Zhao Guihua didn't understand it at all, just thought that the child was afraid of himself, and said some compliments to beg for mercy.
Therefore, his face couldn't help but have a little smugness, and he said with a smile: "You Nizi, don't think that I can spare you if you say something good, and return my hoe!" ”
Gu Nansang smiled, nodded and said, "My aunt has always been a good farmer in the village, how can I do it without a hoe?" ”
As soon as Li Changsheng heard that there was a door, he thought that he had grasped the handle, and hurriedly said: "Nan girl, do you know where my hoe is?" Bring it to your uncle, and your uncle will buy you candy to eat! ”
"I don't want sugar." Gu Nansang shook his head: "I want to make a bet with my uncle." ”
Li Changsheng felt funny: "You are a little doll, you actually know how to bet, what do you want to bet?" ”
"Bet on a hoe." Gu Nansang glanced at Li Erniu from the corner of his eyes, blinked, and said childishly: "Uncle Changsheng and Aunt Osmanthus, if you can find your hoe in my house, then in addition to returning it to you, it will also come with my hoe." But if you don't find my hoe, I'll ask you to pay for my hoe!" ”
Li Changsheng didn't know why she said this, and was still hesitating, but when Zhao Guihua heard about this good thing, how could she not agree.
She hurriedly looked at Xu and said, "Your little doll is talking nonsense, but is it serious?" ”
Originally, Xu's family just came back from looking for wild vegetables in the back mountain, passing by Li Changsheng's paddy field, who knew that his hoe was missing, and the villagers who had good things told Zhao Guihua that Xu's had passed by and asked her to come to Gu's house to ask.
Zhao Guihua was sure that it must have been taken by the Xu family, and Li Changsheng was a cunning and greedy person, thinking that even if the Xu family really didn't take it, how could the orphans and widows have their own family members who are powerful and easy to do? Insist that she stole it and took her hoe to pay off the debt, what can she do?
Xu was still a little hesitant, but she didn't take it, let them find it themselves, and it would be more convincing to the public.
So, he nodded.
The two members of the Li family entered the door of the Gu family in a grand manner, and the villagers who were good things also followed: "Xu Niangzi, if you don't go with you, what if they follow your family's things?" ”
Xu stood in the dusty courtyard, but her eyes were clear, and there was an indifferent temperament between her eyebrows, and she smiled and nodded at the man: "Thank you for reminding me." But I asked myself if I sat upright, I was not afraid of a crooked shadow, and I never stole anyone's things. Therefore, I am not afraid of their strong words, if they want to take away my family's things, they must also look at my husband's tablet, and also remember that when he was alive, he taught in the school and had enlightened the son of the Li family. ”
As soon as she said this, Li Erniu was even more flustered, and the fingers hanging on her side trembled slightly.
The Li family walked to the east house and the west house, rummaging all the way, but the Gu family was so big, and after looking for it twice, they still found nothing, but turned out a rusty small hoe with a gap from the utility room.
"Two, that's the hoe that my family uses to dig vegetables, I haven't used it for a long time, and it's no longer sharp, so I can make you laugh." Xu's eyes were not worried, but he was still calm and generous.
The two members of the Li family looked at each other, and Li Changsheng hurriedly shouted: "How can a person who is a thief still put stolen goods in his own home?" I think you're hiding, maybe it's in the back mountain! ”
"You ......" Rao is Xu is extremely cultivated, and he can't help but be angry.
"Uncle Changsheng is right." Gu Nansang smiled, she stood up from behind Xu's family, stretched out her tiny fingers, pointed at Li Erniu outside the fence, and said coldly: "Why don't you ask Erniu, where did you hide your hoe in the back mountain?" ”
