In the small courtyard of the Gu family, the high-spirited cries became louder and louder.

Cang, a little little girl, didn't know where to get such a loud voice, was carried on the willow tree like a leaf undulating in the wind, and his little mouth was open enough to stuff a bun.

Gu Dan's slap had not yet landed on his little buttocks, so he took the first step and cried out, and the cry of grief could be said to be the cry of the sad listener, and the aftermath lingered for three days.

"Crying? You have to be beaten if you cry! ”

Gu Dan reprimanded Cang very harshly, not being confused by his appearance, and reprimanded: "You have a good heart and want to do good deeds, of course you will not be beaten." But the premise of your good deeds is that you can't make trouble for yourself and others!

Take something that doesn't belong to you, destroy it without asking, use it to fulfill your kindness, and still want to not be beaten? Where is such a good thing! I won't be able to read it if I don't teach you a lesson today! ”

That booklet was the experience that Ji Lao had summed up over the decades, and he naturally recorded it all in his mind.

But the value of the existence of things is not only the knowledge contained in them, but also the heart of inheritance.

Of course, the three-year-old little guy doesn't understand this, he is far from having his own concept of good and evil, plus the material conditions are relatively rich, he has never been cold or hungry, and he lacks knowledge of all the hard-won things.

The children of the poor are in charge of their families because they have suffered enough.

Gu Dan is not ready to let Cang lie in the small courtyard and be a second ancestor who only knows how to wear clothes, reach out for food, and open his mouth!

Anyway, the little guy was also rescued by Moqiu, and he didn't let him live according to the standards of the Mo, it was because he was still too young.

When he grows up a little later, he will definitely find a way to make up a complete childhood for him.

It started with this beating!

"Say yes, don't blame me!"

Cang held his head in his hands in horror, and felt that it was not very safe, so he pressed his little buttocks, and his face was full of disbelief.

What's so good about books?

It's the most vicious thing in the world!

Wouldn't it be nice to use the most vicious things to bring warmth to others?

Although there is a little reason why I don't want to read much, it is really cold!

The two of them were happy when it was time for the fire!

"My memory is pretty good, why don't you remember to ask the adults before doing things? Sister Ling Ying is not in the yard? Or is Xun Ke not in the yard? Self-assertive, unrepentant, sin is one more degree! ”

Gu Dan has already rolled up his sleeves, this kid doesn't want to escape this beating.

"Wow!"

Seeing that he was about to be beaten, Cang's cry became louder and louder, and he couldn't wait to penetrate people's eardrums, but he could only say that some talents could indeed be taught by themselves, and there was no need to learn from anyone at all.

When he was thinking about the implementation of the plan to educate the bear children, the door of the small courtyard was suddenly pushed open again.

I saw a woman holding a little girl's hand and walking in together.

The woman looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, with a full head of silver hair, and it was winter, but she was dressed in a thin and shoddy linen garment, which could not even cover her skin completely, revealing a frozen red arm, and her crooked veins exposed to the winter air like a writhing earthworm.

She was half-bent over, her dim eyes with an unspeakable look of embarrassment, and her wrinkled face was full of embarrassment.

The little girl beside her looked like she was four or five years old, her hair was hanging down casually and scattered, she hadn't been groomed for a long time, and she was wearing a coat that obviously didn't belong to a child, wrapping her up like a dumpling.

But the coat still looks thin, even if it is a coarse linen cloth, how much warmth can it have? The little girl stood beside her, her nose was red from the cold, and even her body was trembling slightly.

"Aunt Li?!"

Seeing the comer, Gu Dan stopped his movements and called out with some hesitation.

"Lord Gu Gu."

The old woman squeezed the little girl's hand and greeted him tremblingly.

"Wait a minute."

Gu Dan walked quickly to the house, took out the winter clothes that Xu Zhi'an sent him every year, returned to the courtyard, and draped them on her.

"Master Gu, you can't do it, you can't do it!"

The old woman stretched out her hand crampedly, trying to avoid the winter coat that shrouded her body, but how could her speed compare to Gu Dan?

After putting on the thick and warm things that she hadn't worn until now, Gu Dan frowned slightly and asked, "You are in trouble, you have been an old neighbor for more than ten years, why don't you say anything?" ”

Aunt Li's family is next door to the Gu family's courtyard, and the family is in business and quite wealthy.

Being able to buy a house in such a location must not be bad.

It's just that Aunt Li lived a hard life when she was young, but later her son became wealthy, and she refused to live quietly and leisurely, and opened a steamed bun shop.

Xun Ke likes to go to her to eat steamed buns, her buns have thin skin, big filling, and plenty of juice, and if she is a real small trader, she must be reluctant to give so many ingredients.

Gu Dan has also been there a few times, although Aunt Li was not young at that time, she was also full of red face, healthy and healthy, and her spirit has always been very good.

Even the steamed bun shop is just to find something to do for herself, and she doesn't plan to make money from it, Aunt Li has always been kind to others, and she can chat happily with anyone.

But now Aunt Li looks like she has suddenly aged a decade or two, and she no longer has the spirit of the past, and her whole person exudes a groggy twilight.

When his eyes occasionally touched Gu Dan's eyes, he would subconsciously move away, his face was full of shame, and he didn't dare to raise his head, as if he was a different person.

The change is too big, which is why Gu Dan almost didn't recognize her at first.

The warm and thick cotton clothes were draped over her body, and Aunt Li lowered her head, like an ostrich with her head buried in the sand, and said tremblingly: "Lord Gu, we are doing this on our own, how can we ask for you?" ”

Before she could finish her sentence, tears flowed from her parched eyes.

"What happened? It's cold outside, come into the house and say. ”

Gu Dan picked up the little girl beside her and walked back to the house.

There was a warm stove burning in the house, and the coal in the stove was specially made by the royal family, not only did there not have any smoke, but it carried some special fragrance outside, or Lin Xiaoyi sent it before the winter arrived, which also came in handy.

Putting the little girl on the chair next to the stove, Gu Dan found some pastries that Xiao Ying hadn't had time to eat, put them beside the little girl, and said softly: "Come, eat, it's not enough." ”

Naturally, these pastries are also high-end goods that can only be taken out in the palace.

Xiao Ying is more greedy, and someone always comes to replenish her every once in a while, not only does it taste very good, but even the style is beautiful, and at a glance it looks more like some kind of art than food.

The aroma of the pastry was particularly attractive, and the little girl sniffed and swallowed her saliva twice, but did not reach out to take it, but secretly looked at the woman who had just walked in, neither stretched out her hand nor spoke, restrained and quiet.

"Lord Gu!"

Aunt Li, who had just walked in and saw this scene, finally couldn't help it, burst into tears, and was about to kowtow on her knees on the ground.

"Aunt Li, what are you doing here?"

Gu Dan hurriedly forcibly helped her up, refusing to accept this big gift, "You and my dad are people of the same generation, if my dad knows that I dare to let you kowtow to me, then you can't beat me at night?" ”

In order to comfort Aunt Li, Gu Dan even said a joke.

It's a pity that no one laughs.

Xiao Ying and Xun Ke walked over, and they didn't know what to say or do.

Still Gu Dan said in a hurry: "Go and put Cang down and let him play with the little girl for a while." ”

Xun Ke hurriedly left.

Xiao Ying also found her target, walked to the stove and held the little girl in her arms, and said softly, "What's your name?" Is it okay for my sister to comb your hair? ”

As she spoke, she flicked her sleeve slightly, and a jade comb made of beautiful jade appeared in her hand, carved with a dragon and a phoenix at hand.

The little girl was really attracted to her attention, but only for a moment.

She stared at the pastries on the plate by the stove again, and her eyes did not blink.

Xiao Ying reached out and picked up a piece of pastry, put it to the little girl's mouth, and said, "Taste this piece, this piece is a pastry made of jujube paste!" It tastes sweet, and it's not greasy! My sister likes it the most, so help my sister try this piece to see if it's delicious. ”

The little girl was clearly swallowing her saliva, but she still closed her mouth and shook her head again and again, and her eyes would fall on Aunt Li from time to time.

"It's okay, my sister invited you to eat."

Xiao Ying pinched her cold little face, "Come, open your mouth, ah~"

"No, no."

The little girl finally spoke, her voice was very small, and she was weak and weak.

If she hadn't stayed in her arms, Xiao Ying would not have been able to hear her.

"Why?"

Xiao Ying asked, "Aren't my sister's pastries delicious?" ”

The little girl shook her head quickly and said, "Grandma said that you can't make trouble for others." ”

"It's not troublesome! This is what my sister invited you to eat, so don't call it trouble! Xiao Ying said.

Cang Cang said the same thing, crying very loudly.

The little girl lowered her head, not daring to look at her.

At this time, Xiao Ying finally understood.

It's all that little rabbit cub in Cang, and before he was hit, the heart-rending roar spread out, and it was heard from afar.

No wonder they look like that when they walk into the small courtyard.

"Cang will only be beaten if he does other bad things, don't worry, my sister is so good, how can she be a murderer?" Xiao Ying smiled sweetly and put the pastry to her mouth.

"However, my sister's temper is very bad! If you refuse to eat it again, my sister will be angry! If my sister is angry, she will definitely be beaten!

If you don't want Cang to be beaten, hurry up and open your mouth to eat, eat more, and Cang will be less beaten! ”

Xiao Ying said frightening words very gently.

Just let down from the tree by Xun Ke, Cang was stunned when he walked into the house, his mouth was wide open, and he was greatly shocked.
