In the evening, Jiang Youzhi came over to pick up Gu Yunjiao and went home, and had dinner at Gu's house by the way.

During the meal, Jiang Youzhi asked Gu Chuan, "You said that you want to be released, and you will be given two places to choose, one is Yongshun County in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other is Jinyang County in the south of Xinjiang." ”

Gu Chuan almost didn't think much about it and said, "I choose Jinyang County in southern Xinjiang." ”

Jiang Youzhi raised his eyebrows, "Why?" The conditions in southern Xinjiang are very difficult, and the people there are not as civilized as here, and they are far less prosperous than those in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is not a good place to go at all. ”

Gu Chuan thought for a while, "That's why I want to go." ”

"I know that Jiangnan is rich, and it is easy to make some political achievements in a few years, and with my brother-in-law in the court, I will soon be able to rise up, from Zhizhou to the prefect, and then transfer back to the capital to continue to be an official."

He paused, "But I don't think it's interesting. ”

"I have been traveling for two years and have seen too many people's suffering, and I want to go to difficult places, firstly, to really do something for the people, and secondly, to exercise myself."

He said embarrassedly: "I don't want to rely on my brother-in-law for everything." ”

Jiang Youzhi slowly smiled, "Yes, it's good that you have this idea, and my brother-in-law supports you." ”

Gu Chuan looked at Gu Yuheng, "Dad, will you object to me going to Southern Xinjiang?" ”

Gu Yuheng also knows a little bit about how bad the conditions in southern Xinjiang are, he is not worried, but he is willing to support his son's ideals.

Gu Yuheng nodded, "Dad also supports you, and there are also Aunt Hua and your sister at home, so you can rest assured to do what you want to do." ”

Although Jiang Youzhi told Gu Chuan in advance, however, the arrangements of the officials had not yet come down, and Gu Yuheng decided to take Aunt Hua and Gu Chuan home to worship their ancestors, and also add Aunt Hua's name to the family tree.

Gu Yunjiao didn't go with her this time, and the matter of worshipping ancestors had nothing to do with her, a married girl.

After more than ten days, Gu Yuheng and the others came back from the countryside.

The day after he came back, Gu Chuan pulled Gu Yunjiao aside, held it for a long time, and suddenly burst out, "I went back to see her." ”

"Who?" Gu Yunjiao reacted when she said this, this "she" will not be someone else, it must be their mother.

Gu Chuan lowered his head, "She's having a bad time now." ”

"I don't know why, when I saw her like that, I felt relieved of my hatred, and my heart was very uncomfortable."

When he went back this time, Gu Chuan heard the second aunt mention it, saying that the Li family was having a bad time.

Gu Chuan hid from his father, quietly ran to Ergui's house, and hid outside the courtyard for a long time.

He saw that Li was wearing a cloth coat of unknown color, with an apron tied around his waist, his hair was messy, his face was yellow and thin, and the corners of his mouth were wrinkled between his eyebrows, and he had long lost his former beauty.

Li is also in his forties, leaving a pampered life, working hard every day, and soon becoming old.

Gu Chuan saw her skillfully feeding the chickens with a food bowl.

After feeding the chickens, she brought a wooden basin out and sat at the door to wash her clothes.

During this period, the two sons born to Li ran around the yard with runny noses and made trouble.

Not long after, Ergui came home after doing farm work, Gu Chuan flashed behind a big tree, and then heard Ergui's scolding, "Why haven't you cooked yet, you want to starve Lao Tzu!" ”

The girl in front of Ergui has been married, and now all the work of the family has fallen on the Li family.

Cooking, laundry, feeding pigs and chickens, it's all her job. w, please keep in mind: free fastest update no anti-theft no anti-theft
