Chapter IV: Blocking
Ask for recommendations.. Ask for collection.... New books need to be kept in stock
-------------------------------------------------------
Jiankang is their hometown, most of their relatives are there, and both children know it.
Hearing his mother say this, Gu Hai didn't have any opinions, he knew that his mother was too tired to support the family alone, and when he returned to his clan, there were so many relatives to take care of him, so his mother didn't have to work so hard.
"Okay, I can see the second uncle, and Brother Huaqing..."He cheered, as if he couldn't wait to see those relatives.
In fact, he has seen those relatives two or three times since he can remember, but he is afraid that he can't even remember what they look like.
The child's thoughts, Cao's naturally understood, and was glad that the child was so sensible, and he felt guilty that his family background was ruined and had to let the children go to the fence.
"Your brother Huaqing has already won the show, and you will be able to make great progress by studying with him then, Eighteen Niang.." Cao Shi stroked his son's head and turned his face to look at his daughter, "Eighteen Niang can also be companions with the sisters and sisters there, do you say?" ”
"Not good." Gu Bainiang shook her head.
The words that this kid often said were good, and the word bad was really coming out of her mouth for the first time, and Cao and Gu Hai were a little surprised.
"Why?" Gu Hai immediately asked, trying to convince her, "Sister, Jiankang is fun, and... There are so many delicious foods....you forgot the spicy duck head that Daddy said....."
Gu Banniang shook her head, grabbing the corner of Cao's clothes with her hand, "I don't, I want to stay here, there is a smell of dad here." ”
From birth to the present, they have been living here, and the three of them can't help but look around the yard, and every grass, tree, brick and tile is engraved with traces of life.
“.. Dad likes to teach me to read here..."Gu Banniang pointed to the pomegranate tree in the yard, ".. Daddy likes to practice calligraphy there...."
As she spoke, she hugged Cao's arm, "Mother, I don't want to leave here, don't leave my father here alone." ”
Looking at the reluctance in her daughter's eyes, Cao couldn't help but have a sour nose, she reached out and hugged her daughter, "Okay, let's not go." ”
Gu Hai couldn't help frowning, feeling that his sister was a little ignorant like this, and he had to find an opportunity to tell his sister about it.
He didn't have to wait long and soon had a chance, the next day the Cao family went to ask someone to sell the needlework he made, Gu Hai grabbed a cake and prepared to go to school, hesitated when he came to the door, turned around and picked up the woodcutter behind the door.
"Brother." Gu Bainiang walked out of the house.
Gu Hai hurriedly covered the woodcutter behind him, and grinned: "Eighteen Niang is up?" Hurry up and eat, I'm going to school. ”
As he spoke, he was busy leaving, but was caught by Gu Bainiang running a few steps.
"Eighteen Niang, be careful.." Gu Hai was startled and hurriedly helped her.
In his impression, his sister is a person made of lamp grass, the wind can fall, these days his mother works day and night, and his sister is alone at home during the day, and he impulsively wants to relieve her boredom, so he takes her to fetch firewood, but he didn't expect to fall down after walking well, and he doesn't need his mother to blame him, he himself hates himself.
"Brother, I know that life is difficult at home, so it's better to do this." Gu Banniang thought for a while and said, "You go and study with peace of mind, and when class ends, I will collect firewood with you, so that it will not delay your study, and there will be no shortage of firewood..."
Before she finished her words, Gu Hai shook her hand into a gust of wind.
"I don't dare to take you up the mountain even if I die... Good sister, you rest at home, and your body is stronger than anything else—" he said, waving his hand.
"Brother." Gu Bainiang interrupted him in a deep voice, "Is it just because I walked and fell once, so I will never walk again?" If this is the case, wouldn't all the toddlers in the world be able to learn to walk? ”
Gu Hai was stunned, it was the first time he had seen his sister with such a solemn expression.
"In this way, if my brother is reprimanded by Mr., he will never study again?" Gu Banniang's voice trembled slightly, and she took a step forward.
In his previous life, Gu Hai was impulsive and sensitive, he was ridiculed again and again, and was punished by his husband, so he broke the jar and gave up his studies and gave up his life.
Her brother is actually a very qualified person, Gu Banniang's eyes are a little red, but he is too young and has been disrupted by the sudden difficulties of life, this time, she has to do her best to share it for him.
Seeing that she said so solemnly, Gu Hai couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sister, what is the truth of this!" Saying that, he raised his chin slightly, "Zi said that shame is almost brave, Mr. scolded me for being insufficient, so that I can introspect and work hard, where can I be ashamed and not study?" ”
"Okay, brother, remember, if someone laughs at you in the future, you must not give up on yourself." Gu Bainiang said this, her voice was already a little choked.
"That's nature." Gu Hai said, looking a little surprised, I don't understand why my sister suddenly said this, didn't they just say about going up the mountain to collect firewood?
Since the topic ran away, he also remembered one thing.
"Sister, listen to my brother, let's go back to Jiankang." He said with plastic surgery, and he was a little worried, afraid that he would speak too heavily and his sister would be unhappy, so he carefully checked Gu Bainiang's face.
The little face is pointy, the apricot eyes are bright, the expression is indifferent, and there is no panic due to the great changes in family affairs between the eyebrows.
Younger sister.. It's really different from before, the previous paragraph was frightened, maybe I can't accept the reason for the illness of my father who loves her the most, and now, it's finally better.
Gu Hai breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and said his thoughts, "...... In this way, my mother will not have to work so hard, and our relatives will take care of us....."
"Brother." Gu Bainiang, who had been listening quietly, suddenly interrupted him and looked at him seriously, "You say, can relatives really take care of us?" ”
Gu Hai's face stiffened slightly, and he said with a little stumbling: "When.. Of course.. We are relatives.....
In fact, he vaguely felt that the prospects might not be as good as he expected, but, no matter what, it was better than them being alone now, right?
“… When I was young, my father and mother took us back for the New Year, do you think our relatives are amiable? …..”
"Who said that we are in shabby clothes like beggars, and throw you and me away with mud and stones? …”
"Every time I go back, why does my mother always hide in the house and cry secretly? …”
Who broke the sacrificial plate and blamed you, and let your mother kneel down and beg to no avail, and beat you in public? …..”
"Who threw down a piece of dry food and told you to ride it as a horse? Who called us to drink and treat us like slaves....."
Gu Bainiang muttered, she seemed to be talking to herself, accompanied by words one by one, tears slowly flowed down.
The humiliation she experienced in her previous life, the horror and helplessness of watching her loved ones pass away, and the loneliness of being at the mercy of others, were deeply engraved in her heart, and she could not forget or touch them again.
Gu Hai's expression slowly straightened up, and his hands were clenched into fists.
Although the events of those childhoods have faded with age, such bullying has long been deeply imprinted on the child's psyche, and can jump out at any time to stimulate his nerves.
"In the past, my father was still there, and he was famous, we ate and dressed independently, and they still treated us like this, but now we ....." Gu Bainiang took a few deep breaths, suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, and tightly grabbed Gu Hai's arm, "Brother, do you think that our life will really be better when we go back than now?" ”
"No!" Gu Hai's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he shouted two words without hesitation.
