If there is a harvest in the field, there is naturally no need to sell the children, but if there is no harvest, there will not be a grain in the warehouse for most of the next half a year, and the only way out is to sell the children.

And at that time, they will never be the only ones who will sell their children!

Gu Qing led Zhao Daya to her yard, and the clothes that needed to be washed at home were washed and dried by the four members of the Tong family last night.

She pulled the eldest girl to sit down: "If your mother really wants to sell you, no matter what I say, she will take you to the town." ”

The big girl wiped away her tears and silently did not speak.

Gu Qing sighed, although Aunt Zhao is a child who loves her, but in this era, no one wants a boy, the Zhao family has three daughters, a son, and the eldest daughter bears the most, and Dahua is the most bitter child of the Zhao family.

"Eat something first, then get to work." Gu Qing stood up and walked to the stove room, now there are only her and Gu Yu Gu Nuo in the house, so Gu Qing can only do it herself.

Now that her family has made money from mushrooms, everyone knows that she is about to build a big house, and there is no need for her to hide it, so she simply took out white noodles and eggs, made a large plate of egg pancakes, and boiled some millet porridge.

When Gu Qing was making breakfast, Gu Yu came over.

She grabbed Gu Qing's sleeve, blinked her big eyes and asked, "Eldest sister, is someone really going to buy me away for two taels of silver?" ”

This is not Gu Qing's nonsense, after the death of his father and mother the year before last, there were indeed people from the next village who came to buy a daughter who was old for the elderly, and came up with half a tael of silver for Gu Yu to give them a pension and send them to the end, the original body was a little tempted, but the family was scolded by Mrs. Gu's full firepower, so they didn't mention it again.

But if the famine gets worse and worse, I'm afraid that the original body will really sell Gu Yu......

Gu Qing pinched the little guy's face: "So, you can't forget your eldest sister when you grow up with a husband." ”

Gu Yu nodded vigorously: "I will honor my eldest sister for the rest of my life, and I will study hard in the future, and come back to glorify my ancestors after taking the top exam." ”

Gu Qing couldn't help laughing.

Soon the fragrance came out of the stove room, and a large family sat down around the table, and Zhao Daya was also pressed to sit down, with a bowl of millet porridge in front of him, and several egg cakes in the middle of the table.

"Sister Gu, this won't work......"

Zhao Daya waved her hand again and again, Gu Qing had just given their family a bag of grain, and she hadn't done anything, how could she eat a bowl of millet porridge for nothing.

In previous years, when the wind and rain were smooth, and when their family still had food, she couldn't eat such a good millet porridge during the New Year, let alone the white-flour egg cake placed in the middle......

The room was filled with the scent.

Gu Qing and the three of them ate very fragrantly, Gu Yu drank all the big bowl of millet porridge, and he still held an egg cake in his hand and ate it with a mouth full of oil.

Zhao Daya was stunned.

Her mother used to say that the family next door was having a miserable life, and also said that Gu Yu couldn't eat enough every day, is this what it looks like to not be full?

How does she feel that their family's life is really miserable??

"Big girl, hurry up and eat." Gu Qing said, "There will be work for you to do later." ”

Eating so much early in the morning is not an easy task.

After experiencing a fierce psychological struggle, Zhao Daya finally succumbed to the food and lowered her head to drink up a bowl of millet porridge.

"Give!" Gu Yu stuffed an egg cake for her, "In the past, the eldest sister used to secretly stuff the nest head for me to eat, but now I can finally stuff it for you!" ”

Zhao Daya actually didn't have anything to eat herself, and she had to leave everything delicious at home to her sister, but Gu Yu was sometimes too pitiful, standing under the big tree in the middle of the two families, staring at her drooling, Harazi wet her clothes, and she had to break off a little bit of the nest and stuff it.

Unexpectedly, her unintentional actions were remembered by Gu Yu.

After breakfast, the busyness of the day began again, Gu Qing asked the eldest girl to stay and help Gu Yu drive the ducks out, and then went to dig wild vegetables on the ridges, and after digging, he could go back at noon.

Zhao Daya was full of question marks.

That bag of grain is enough for her family to eat for half a month, so let her dig wild vegetables?

Doesn't Gu Nuo also dig wild vegetables, what are you looking for her for?

How does she feel that Sister Gu is just here to help her?

Gu Qing waited for the mall brother to come to collect the mushrooms.

At noon, Gu Nuo came back with a black puppy, and the puppy pounced on the ground as soon as it landed, hugging Gu Qing's trouser leg and constantly coquettish.

Gu Nuo ran over on his feet: "Eldest sister, this is the puppy I picked up on the side of the road, I named it Xiao Hei, is it okay?" ”

Gu Yu shook his head: "Xiao Hei sounds too weak, let's call it Da Hei." ”

Gu Nuo frowned and said, "Well, then listen to the second sister, and I will call you Da Hei in the future." ”

Gu Qing: "......"

So this is the origin of the name Rhubarb of the Pastoral Dog?

She bent down to pick up the puppy, this dog should be a month old, but very thin, all the bones on the body, think about it, the income is so small, no one has anything to eat, how can he afford to feed a beast.

But since they arrived at their house, they will be a member of the family from now on, and they will eat whatever they eat.

Gu Qing asked Gu Nuo to go to the house to get two eggs out, she carried the eggs to Gu Dongmei's house, the only family in the village that raised a dog, Aunt Gu was making lunch, a pot of water was boiling in the pot, threw the black noodles with water into it, and then stirred the wild vegetables, there was a lot of water, there were many wild vegetables, the paste was almost invisible, and there was no salt.

There was a skinny skinny running around on the ground with an earthy yellow puppy, also very thin and malnourished at first glance.

"Gu Niangzi, why are you here?"

Zhao Dongmei stopped what she was doing and walked out.

Gu Qing stuffed two eggs over: "My family Nuo Nuo picked up your puppy on the side of the road and took it home, I don't know how many copper plates a puppy wants, can I give two eggs?" ”

"You're too polite, the puppy isn't worth anything." Gu Dongmei hurriedly excused herself, "That dog cub has no meat on his body, and he won't live for a few days, I don't want to throw it on the mountain to feed the wolves, you collect mushrooms and let our family earn the silver, even if you want this big dog, I will give you free to pull your house." Not to mention that the puppy was picked up by Nuno, how can you still ask for your eggs. My family is ready to eat, you can go back quickly, let's go! ”

Gu Dongmei pushed Gu Qing directly out of the courtyard gate.

Gu Qing looked at the two eggs in his hand that could not be sent, and sighed helplessly.

As the saying goes, people are poor and short-minded, although Gu Dongmei is poor, she never covets what others eat, such a backbone person is worthy of her admiration.

As soon as she left.

Gu Dongmei looked at the children in the family and said: "This puppy has not drunk a few mouthfuls of milk since she was born, she should not live for a few days, if I accept her eggs, when the puppy dies, she will not ask me to pay for her life, I can't forget the shrew she used to mess around, and now she has earned silver again, our family can't afford to mess with her." ”
