Gu Jinnian also helped appease his brother and sister, and Gu Ping'an believed Su Mo's words.

It's just that Gu Xingnian has always refused to let go of the hand holding Su Mo's clothes, and even sleeps next to her at night.

The next day, the early morning sunlight shone into the house through the hole, and the fine dust jumped in the sunlight, Su Mo slowly opened her eyes, and saw Gu Xingnian shrinking into a small ball in her arms.

In an instant, it was as if I had returned to my childhood.

Su Mo had always hoped that his mother would have the courage to leave that home, but he was afraid that his mother would leave him.

I had to hide in my mother's arms at night, clutching her sleeves tightly, and if she wanted to leave, I could take myself with me......

Retracting her thoughts, Su Mo only felt uncomfortable with a blocked throat, and the experience of her youth was a thorn in her heart.

Lying on the bed, it took a long time for the noise to calm down, she slowly sat up and carefully pulled out her clothes from Gu Xingnian's hand.

Gu Jinnian, who was sleeping in the next bed, heard the movement, opened his eyes and sat up, and just as he was about to speak, Su Mo made a silent gesture with him.

"Shhhh

Gu Ping'an was still sleeping, and Su Mo didn't plan to wake him up.

Gu Jinnian pursed his lips, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Su Mo got out of bed slowly, put on his shoes, and whispered: "I'll go get breakfast, and by the way, go to the village chief to open the way, you take care of your sister at home." ”

Gu Jinnian nodded, staring at Su Mo's figure with dark eyes, thought about it, and asked in a low voice:

"Then you got the guide and left directly?"

"It's still early."

Su Mo shook his head and pointed outside.

"You forgot? The ox cart to the county will not depart until midnight. ”

Gu Jinnian reacted at this time, lowered his head, and didn't say anything.

The light in the room was just right, Gu Jinnian's reddened earlobes were not covered, and she couldn't help laughing when Su Mo looked at her.

It turned out that the cold Gu Jinnian still had this kind of time......

Lean porridge made for breakfast is slowly boiled over low heat.

There were still four or five eggs left at home, so Su Mo simply made a big bowl of flour, beat the eggs into it, added water and stirred it into a batter, and baked five flatbreads.

Take one sheet and cut it with a kitchen knife, exactly one plate.

Take another bowl and buckle it, and put the rest in the pot to keep warm, she took the egg cake and walked towards the village chief's house.

This is not the day to go to sea, and the villagers are busy and hiding in the house to sleep.

Playful children get up early, pair up in pairs, and hide in the shade to play.

"Knock Knock"

Su Mo knocked on the courtyard door of the village chief's house, and a response soon came from inside.

"Here we are."

Footsteps drew closer, and the door creaked open, revealing a young face.

"Who are you?"

The little boy's hair was tied into two small tuggs, and his round eyes looked curiously at Su Mo in front of him,

He scratched his head, didn't remember who it was, and immediately stood up straight, like a little adult, and questioned in a childish voice.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for the village chief."

Su Mo knew him, and when he came back to the village chief's house, he saw him, and he was the grandson of the village chief, named Chen Xianjun.

Don't look at the village chief, who is over fifty years old, he got married late.

Yuan Yong's four-year-old pro-married daughter-in-law was the daughter of a talented man in the county.

Xiucai was the talent of the previous dynasty, and the change of dynasty, this identity not only did not bring any benefits, but also dragged down the family.

The wife couldn't stand the bad words of others, so she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, and her daughter was over two or four years old, and no one proposed marriage.

The village chief followed Gu Jingting to the county seat to sell fish, met Xiucai's daughter, and fell in love with her at first sight.

His parents had been urging him to get married, and after Chen Yongwen quietly inquired, he decisively invited a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage.

Xiucai was already anxious about his daughter's family affairs, but when he saw a matchmaker coming to the door, he roughly inquired about it, and felt that the man was acceptable, so he agreed to this family business.

When Chen Xianjun heard that he was looking for his grandfather, he pouted and moved his position.

"Then come in!"

The intonation of the word "enter" is elongated, the tone rises and falls sharply, and the word "come" is hurriedly exported next to the word "bar", which is very interesting to listen to.

Su Mo couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and watched Chen Xianjun stride in with his little short legs, shouting as he walked: "Grandpa, someone is looking for you!" ”

Su Mo followed in, and after a while, he saw the village chief coming from the house, and as for the cute and dragging Chen Xianjun, he had already been carried into the house by his grandmother.

"So early?"

The village chief leaned on crutches, raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and estimated that it would be about five minutes.

"Well, I'm thinking about making a boat at noon, going early and returning early."

Su Mo replied with a smile and lifted the bowl in his hand.

"You've helped me so much, I don't have anything good here, so I've baked some bread in the morning and brought it to you to taste."

"You are also a part of the village, and I, as the village head, should take care of you,"

The village chief frowned, and his gaze swept over the bowl in Su Mo's hand.

"Although you have received money from the princess, it is not easy to raise three children.

Forget it this time, don't take it as an example. ”

Su Mo knew that the village chief was kind, she smiled and nodded, and put the bowl on the table.

"Sit down for a while, and I'll show you a way."

The village chief walked into the inner room with a cane, and there was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as the official seal of the head of a village.

Su Mo responded, sat and waited for a while, and the village chief walked out with a piece of yellow paper.

"You have to keep it carefully, you can't lose it."

"Also, I have already told Cihai to help take care of your three children, and you can just send the children over when you leave."

"I see."

Su Mo took it and nodded cautiously.

The Dayong Dynasty is not very strict in the control of population flow, and the entry and exit of county-level and below areas are not checked by road guides, but if you want to enter the state capital, there is no road guide, not only will you not be allowed to go, but you will also be arrested as a fine work.

Of course, except for Yanzhou, the capital of the Dayong Dynasty is in Yanzhou, so it is heavily guarded, even if it is in and out of the township, there must be a road guide from the place of household registration.

But the road guide is also easy to open, if you live in the countryside, you can go directly to the village head, and if you live in the city, you will go to the yamen and explain the reason, and you will open the road.

The whereabouts of Lu Yin and the children were solved, Su Mo's heart was a lot more steady, and he thanked the village chief gratefully, and then walked home.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the Gu family's courtyard, but seeing Wang Taoqing holding Chen Qingzhou wandering at the door, Su Mo raised his eyebrows and walked over with a quickened pace.

"Sister-in-law is waiting for me?"

Su Mo joked with a smile, she had a good impression of Wang Taoqing, and the three children in the next few days were also entrusted to Wang Taoqing, so it was natural to have a good relationship.

Wang Taoqing heard the voice, turned her head to look, and nodded with a smile: "I heard my second uncle say last night that you are going to go far away and want to entrust your three children to my family to take care of.

It's just a matter of asking when you're going out and tidying up your room. ”

In fact, it was Chen Qingzhou who urged her to quickly take Gu Xingnian over.

"I'll go out later, and while the children are still asleep, I'll go to the village chief and open a way..."

The two greeted each other and went into the yard, only to find that the three children had gotten up and sat obediently on the chairs, and the bowls in front of them were empty.
