Chapter 3: A Little Pit (3)
Forget it, since you're here, let's live well, not for others, for yourself, for people who are good to yourself.
When Mom came in again, she brought the father, whom she had never seen before, and the two of them helped her out of the room.
It turned out that she lived on the second floor, and Gu Xiaoxiao knew that it was really nice to look at the golden corn cobs piled up in a spacious courtyard outside the door.
"Sitting on the couch, you used to love to sit here and read." Mother cleaned up Gu Xiaoxiao, and the lazy sofa on the right side of the second floor was a bamboo hanging chair with cushions on it.
Behind is a large yellow fruit tree, the branches have stretched to the second floor, there is no sunlight and I don't know what the direction is, but in the distance is a green forest, I don't know where it is?
In my memory, this should be a small town, why there are no high-rise buildings, but these low-rise small apartments.
It may also be that those trees are blocked, and sitting and looking outside, it is still quite visual, but this breath makes her a little unbearable and chokes her nose.
"Well, sit down for a while, mom will bring you some fruit, it's time to suffocate in the house." Mother was distressed, this pale little face, the original beautiful little face was ruined.
Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, pulled the corners of her lips and showed a toothless smile, but did not speak.
It's not that she doesn't want to speak, it's that her throat hurts a little, and she feels pain when she opens her mouth.
The memory of the original owner that remains in my mind, this mother has a nice name, Minglan .
is a native of Nanba Village, not far from Longyuan Town, and is in free love with his father Gu Qingping.
Gu Qingping is a craftsman, he can be a bricklayer, make bamboo, and do some simple wooden work, which is more than enough to feed his family.
It's just that the temperament is a little wooden, I don't like to fight, and I do what I should do all my life.
Mother Minglan is unforgiving, but in the end she is kind at heart, has a good relationship with her neighbors, and the neighbors like to deal with her and do things fairly.
As for the one in Minglan mouth, the brother who has a daughter-in-law and forgets his mother is called Gu Song.
After getting married, he and his daughter-in-law moved to live in the county, and the house was paid by both parents, and it was rare to come back once a year.
It is said that he is busy with work, but in fact, he is not, he just didn't make any money and didn't have the face to come back.
In addition, his wife Meng Qing is pregnant with a child and can't go to work anymore, and she needs money everywhere.
Looking back on the family of four, Gu Xiaoxiao also had to sigh fate, she was still called Gu Xiaoxiao, but she had an extra name, called Adi, and said that it was taken by her grandfather who lived with her uncle.
Gu Xiaoxiao leaned back in the chair, glanced at her father Gu Qingping, raised her hand to the stool beside her, and motioned for him to sit.
"Good boy, Dad won't sit down, take advantage of the cool weather, I'm going to take back all the corn, and the leaders should come to buy it in a few days." Gu Qingping didn't want to stay longer, he was worried that his wife Minglan wouldn't be able to support his daughter, so he came up with him.
Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, indicating that she understood.
Gu Qingping turned around and went downstairs, and he should have met Minglan under the stairs, and the two chatted for a while.
"You go first, I'll come in a moment."
"Lan Lan, don't worry, our daughter is important, it's okay if you don't come, it's okay to thresh at home."
"It's okay, I think Adi can sit, I'll come back early."
"Okay, don't be in a hurry, I'll go first."
When I got here, there was no sound, thinking that Gu Qingping had gone out.
There was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, it was Minglan mother's, and it was a little light.
"Adi, play by yourself, don't walk around, rest more, mom goes to harvest corn, there is food and water here when you are hungry." Minglan's mother carefully prepared a lot of things, and she was afraid that her daughter would be hungry.
Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, smiled and waved her hand, asking her to go quickly by herself, and she could take care of herself.
"You, don't be in a hurry to read, study after you are ready." Minglan walked to the staircase, turned around and came back and said a word, afraid that her daughter would be tired.
Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, indicating that he knew that he would definitely not be able to read.
After getting Gu Xiaoxiao's assurance, Minglan's mother left with peace of mind.
Gu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, she was not their daughter, but it will be in the future, it is really a family.
Don't seek to be rich and rich, just to be well-off and smooth.
Gu Xiaoxiao integrated the memories in her head, and then she found that she had nothing to do, the original owner's holiday homework had already been done, and she didn't have to bother with it.
It's just that I'm a little bored at this moment, and my eyes swept to the corn on the ground, and I got up from the sofa and sat down on a small stool beside me.
Raised his hand to pick up a piece of corn, according to the method he remembered, put it into the threshing machine next to him, and manually shook it, and the rice grains fell from the exit to the ground with a clatter.
Gu Xiaoxiao had a sense of accomplishment, it turned out that in addition to eating, drinking, and shopping, she still knew how to do things.
With the success of the first time, I put one again, and this time I was much more proficient, and I took one off in a few clicks.
Looking up at so much corn, it was impossible to finish it all, after all, she was still a sick person, and it would not be long before she could do it.
But I will still do my best, and I will finish one and then another.
When you're tired, stop and rest, drink water, and pick up again.
Unconsciously, the sky began to be overcast, as if it was going to rain again, Gu Xiaoxiao was not worried that the rain would wet the corn.
Glass is installed on the top of the second floor, which covers the entire courtyard dam, and there are also all around, and it can be closed by pressing the remote control.
Before the heavy rain poured down, Minglan's mother came back, followed by Gu Qingping.
Minglan's mother came up to see Gu Xiaoxiao first, and when she saw the pile of corn that had been taken off, her expression changed: "Adi, why are you disobedient, let you have a good rest, what kind of corn do you get, how fast will your parents get it together after dinner, don't make it, sit down and rest." ”
As he spoke, he snatched the corn in Gu Xiaoxiao's hand and threw it aside, and helped Gu Xiaoxiao up and sat aside.
Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes were a little helpless, but Minglan's mother was also worried about her, so she sat obediently.
Listening to the sound of the rain outside, I really feel that I have come to life, and this feeling is so good.
I vaguely heard an unfamiliar voice downstairs, and I couldn't really hear it because of the rain hitting the glass.
Gu Xiaoxiao is not persistent, when she is well, she will naturally be able to get to know them, but fortunately, she didn't wait long for Minglan Mother to come up with the food.
The folding table attached to the corner of the wall was put down, and then the dishes on the railing were brought to the table.
Gu Qingping, who followed behind, held the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and put the bowl before starting to serve the rice.
It's porridge that is cooked, and it's good to eat porridge in summer, but on the other hand, it's to take care of Gu Xiaoxiao.
There are steamed buns and steamed buns, as well as a bowl of pork rib soup and a stir-fried cowpea with minced meat.
This is their dinner today, Minglan's mother was tired all afternoon, and she ate two steamed buns and two bowls of porridge before stopping.
Because Gu Qingping was a strong man, he naturally ate more, and swept away all the steamed buns that Gu Xiaoxiao hadn't eaten, as well as the remaining porridge and vegetables.
Gu Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised in her heart, what an appetite!
