Chapter 4 Goodbye Gu Tingshen
Xia Youzhi's pupils shrank, his face turned pale, and his body reflexively rushed towards Xia Qinglin.
At the moment when the dog barked wildly and bit Xia Qinglin, Xia Youzhi closed his eyes tightly, hugged Xia Qinglin, and protected him under him.
Just when Xia Youzhi was ready to be bitten, a scolding still fell from the sky.
"Rhubarb!"
Then, Xia Youzhi heard the impact, followed by a man's heavy muffled snort.
Xia Youzhi slowly opened his eyes and saw a majestic figure, tall and straight, with muscles stretched.
At this moment, he was holding Rhubarb deadly, but his hand was gently soothing.
The mad dog slowly became submissive in his hands.
"Are you alright?" Xia Youzhi asked softly to his back, still holding the frightened Xia Qinglin tightly in his hand.
The tall figure slowly turned around, and when Xia Youzhi saw that rough and unruly face clearly, the whole person was stunned.
Gu Tingshen?!
Why is he here? Could it be that he was born again?
But then Xia Youzhi denied this idea.
Gu Tingshen's eyes were full of doubts about their sudden visit.
Most importantly, the look in his eyes told her that he didn't know her!
And she clearly remembered that the first time they met, it should have been three years later, at the Song family.
At that time, Gu Tingshen's appearance was more mature and expressionless, so she was deeply impressed.
Could it be that her rebirth has changed her original trajectory?
"Uncle Gu." When Xia Qinglin saw his acquaintance, he suddenly relaxed, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Gu Ting took a deep look at Xia Qinglin, the clothes on his right arm had just been torn off by rhubarb, and the teeth on his hand were very deep, looking a little bloody.
"I didn't mean to, and I don't know why rhubarb is like this all of a sudden."
Xia Qinglin lowered his head sadly, if he had just listened to his sister's words and left, his sister would not have been frightened, and Uncle Gu would not have been bitten by rhubarb.
Xia Youzhi softly reassured.
"I guess I saw a stranger, so I went crazy." Gu Ting said lightly.
Her own dog, usually very fierce, probably just warned this strange little girl, but she kept standing in the bamboo forest and didn't leave, so she went crazy.
Hearing this, Xia Qinglin felt even more guilty.
"Are you alright?" Xia Youzhi came back to his senses and felt a little guilty, "You have to get a rabies vaccine, otherwise it will be dangerous." ”
After thinking about it, Xia Youzhi added, "You see how much it is, I'll give it to you when the time comes." ”
Gu Tingshen glanced at Xia Youyi, didn't speak, walked into the yard, tied the rhubarb again, and Xia Youyi stayed in place with an embarrassed face.
On weekdays, Gu Tingshen works on the construction site in the city, but two days ago, Daddy Gu asked him to drag out and ask him to come back, but when he came back, he saw Rhubarb going crazy and pounced on this little girl.
The little baby of the Xia family is familiar with herself, but this ...... next to her
Thinking that when he returned to the village just now, he saw the scene where the little girl in front of him threatened Zhang Chunhua, Gu Tingshen was amused.
This little girl looked at Wen Wen quietly, but she didn't expect it to be quite fierce.
In order to avoid embarrassment, he also deliberately went to the brother's house in the same village for a while, and had lunch by the way.
They are countrymen, unlike those in the city, who hold bowls and eat porridge at whomever house.
"You want to cut bamboo?" Gu Ting leashed the dog and walked out of the yard.
"Yes, Uncle Gu." Xia Qinglin pointed to Xia Youzhi on the side, "Uncle Gu, this is my sister." ”
Xia Youzhi twitched the corners of her mouth, her brother called him uncle, but she and him were husband and wife in the previous life......
If this is changed to this life, this relationship will be messy enough, but this Gu Tingshen is also 10 years older than himself, and it is normal for Qinglin to call him uncle.
Xia Youzhi shuddered, and hurriedly stopped herself from thinking, in this life, she didn't plan to have any intersection with Gu Tingshen again, she just wanted to protect her family and lead them to a good life.
Gu Tingshen nodded, he had also heard about the Xia family's mistake of holding a baby girl on the construction site.
"Let's go." Gu Tingshen picked up the sickle standing at the door and walked straight to the bamboo forest on the side.
Xia Youzhi saw that Gu Tingshen didn't care about his wounds, so he followed guiltily and took a deep breath, "Gu ...... Uncle Gu, you better go to the county to get vaccinated quickly. ”
Xia Youzhi looked at Gu Tingshen embarrassedly, what is this called?!
Gu Ting took a deep look at Xia Youzhi, who was so thin and pale.
This is small, weak and weak, Gu Ting deeply doubts whether this sister and brother can really cut bamboo?
"Out of the way." Gu Tingshen turned his face and cleanly cut several in a row.
"Being bitten by a dog is dangerous if you don't get vaccinated." Xia Youzhi's face was a little ugly, why was this person so stubborn?
"Hmm." Gu Tingshen nodded indifferently, and the movements in his hands showed no sign of stopping at all.
How can this man not be distinguished?
Xia Youzhi angrily took out the handkerchief in his pocket, folded a few times, and stepped forward to grab Gu Tingshen's arm.
Gu Tingshen looked sideways at Xia Youzhi suspiciously, Xia Youzhi ignored his doubts, continued the movements of his hand, wrapped a few times around Gu Tingshen's arm, and finally tied a bow.
Gu Ting took a deep look at the funny bow on his arm, and then at the little girl who was looking at him triumphantly, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Don't laugh, go get vaccinated." Xia Youzhi rolled his eyes.
"I'll go." Gu Tingshen promised, turned around and continued to chop bamboo, but in his heart he felt that the little girl's action of rolling her eyes was a little cute.
Xia Youzhi swallowed the words to continue to persuade, Gu Tingshen was also this kind of character in his previous life, stubborn, really a little sad.
And at that time, she still thought he was vulgar, he was five big and three rough, and he was uneducated, and when they met for the first time, he grew a long beard.
Thinking of the scene in her previous life, Xia You couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Gu Tingshen ignored the girl on the side and continued to chop the bamboo neatly.
Xia Qinglin squatted aside, looking curiously, his mouth kept asking, the child is just forgetful.
Gu Tingshen answered unusually patiently, Xia Youzhi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Gu Tingshen to have this side.
Glancing lightly at Gu Tingshen's intact left leg, Xia Youzhi was a little puzzled.
In her last life, when she saw him for the first time, he was forced to go to the Song family to talk about marriage, his legs were slightly lame, and he walked a little lame, Song Minjing was unwilling, so he temporarily replaced her.
She said that Song's father and Song's mother were suddenly so kind, recognized her, and moved her hukou back.
But now I see Gu Tingshen walking, walking like flying, and there is no sign of lameness at all.
So when the hell did he get lame?
*
When going down the mountain, Xia Youzhi was holding a large bundle of bamboo, but he was thinking about Gu Tingshen.
The marriage of the Song and Gu families was set by Gu Tingshen's grandfather's generation.
At that time, the old man Song went to be a soldier, and the war happened to be near Niujiao Village, and the old man Song was injured, but fortunately, the old man Gu, who was digging the roots of the tree nearby, carried him home, and this life-saving grace could not be repaid.
The two made an agreement that they would be in-laws of their children in the future, and their sons would be men, so they would extend to their grandchildren.
It's a pity that people change.
After the war, Old Man Song took root in the city and entered the officialdom.
Old man Gu remembered the good of the two surnames, and when he was dying, he asked his son to promise to let his grandson go to the Song family to propose marriage, which was the matter of coming to the door to propose marriage.
Xia Youzhi sneered, Old Man Gu probably didn't know what the Song family was when he was dying.
In her previous life, after discovering the wrong hug, she also went to find Old Man Song and begged Song Laozi to let her stay.
But Old Man Song only asked the servant to send a sentence out, "It can't be fake, it can't be fake." ”
It seems that all the love on weekdays is fake.
Scold.
"Sister, are we going to make cages for the hens?" Xia Qinglin looked at Xia Youzhi expectantly.
"Qinglin, we don't make cages, we want to build a bigger home for the hens." Xia Youzhi came back to his senses, "We want to build a home that belongs to them." ”
She planned to build a small chicken coop on the east side of the yard, right next to the gate.
In this way, the well water next to the kitchen will not be polluted, and there will be no need to smell chicken manure when eating at night.
Xia Youzhi stood in the yard with the bamboo he had brought back, and took Xia Qinglin to the field to pick up some straw and go home.
On the way, I met a villager who had returned from working in the fields.
Xia Youzhi didn't go out much in his life, and he didn't know people, so he could only smile and nod silently when Xia Qinglin called someone.
The people in the village were amazed, the newly returned girl of the Xia family was not as unbearable as the legend, although she didn't feel very talkative, but she was still quite polite.
When he arrived at his own field, Xia Qinglin was a little depressed, because the rain of the previous two days had soaked the straw that had been piled up.
"Sister, the straw under is still wet." Xia Qinglin pointed to the straw in his field, a little sad.
"Out of the way, let's see who has dry straw, and we'll ask them for some."
Xia Youzhi looked around and saw a figure drying straw not far from his rice field.
"Qinglin, you are waiting for your sister here." With that, he walked out of the figure.
Xia Youzhi approached and saw an old man wearing a hat covered in thick plastic film and concentrating on turning the straw with a nail rake.
"Hello, Grandpa." Xia Youzhi's greeting voice interrupted the old man's movements.
The old man turned around, without a squeak, with a serious expression.
"Grandpa, I'm the daughter of the Xia family, I want to take some of your straw home, is it okay?" Xia Youzhi politely reported to himself.
The new girl of the Xia family? It's been three months since I came back, and the first time I saw her, she was white and good-looking.
It's just that the behavior is not very good.
The old man looked at Xia Youzhi for a while, then nodded, he didn't embarrass her in the end.
The straw of rural people is worthless, and it is not used in ordinary times, so it is burned and directly turned into fertilizer in the field.
Xia Youzhi smiled and thanked him, picked up the dry straw, and led Xia Qinglin back.
After returning home, Xia Youzhi began to sweep the yard and put up a fence.
Today the chicken coop is not finished, but at least the fence is plugged so that the chickens do not run around.
Xia Qinglin squatted beside him, looking curiously, and a bunch of questions popped up in his head.
Xia Youzhi was busy until the evening, the fence of the chicken coop was finally done, and Xia Qinglin happily drove the chickens in.
Under the afterglow of the summer sunset, Xia Youzhi smiled.
It feels so good to be at home.
