"Come on, let's eat."

The pastry was handed to his lips.

Maybe she was moved by Xiao Ying's words, or maybe she was really hungry, the little girl opened her mouth, stretched out the tip of her tongue and gently licked the red date pastry that was placed on her mouth.

A touch of rich but not intense sweetness emerges, the sweetness ripples on the tip of the tongue, as if there are thousands of flowers blooming together, as if to melt the tip of people's hearts together, the fragrant and fragrant breath with a refreshing fragrance, the tongue is full of relish.

Small pastries, color, fragrance and taste.

The little girl's eyes widened, the pastry was more delicious and tempting than all the sweets she had ever tasted.

"Eat quickly, don't be reluctant, sister has a lot of here!"

Rubbing the little girl's hair, which looked a little messy, Xiao Ying said again: "When you finish eating, my sister will take you to take a bath!" I will give you a beautiful change of clothes and comb your hair. ”

The little girl didn't know if she heard it, she had already taken the pastry, first chewed it a few times, and then began to gobble it up.

Xun Ke brought the tea, poured a cup of water that was still steaming and put it in front of her, looked at the hungry little girl with yellow face and thin muscles, and said distressedly: "Eat slowly, there is more." ”

Seeing that his playmate was eating so happily, Cang, who was untied, stretched out his hand and wanted to take a piece from the plate and eat it together.

As a result, his little hand stretched out in mid-air was slapped down before he could touch the plate.

"Look at your fat, you can't wait to eat five meals a day, and still eat? Go and wash your hands for me first, and if you don't wash them, you won't be allowed to eat at night!" ”

Xiao Ying stared at Cang and said fiercely.

Cang was very dissatisfied and muttered: "Nannan's hands haven't been washed!" ”

"Huh?!"

Xiao Ying raised her eyebrows and clenched her hands into fists.

The little one spread his legs and started running.

Xiao Ying gave Xun Ke another look and pointed to the clothes on the little girl's body.

Xun Ke understood, nodded and walked out of the room silently.

The other side.

Aunt Li, who came to the room, stood cramped and uneasy, and whispered, "Master Gu, I came to you to apologize to you." I was ignorant, so I burned the book. Now there are really no valuable things at home, and when I take the girl back to my hometown, I will definitely send you a few books. ”

Gu Dan helped Aunt Li to the side of the chair and asked, "Aunt Li, you don't have to be so polite, obviously you are ignorant, what does it have to do with you?" You don't have to blame yourself, the little one just doesn't clean up.

We are all old neighbors for more than ten years. Xun Ke's kid often goes to you to buy meat buns to eat, and we have also tasted your craftsmanship, which is quite good. What are the difficulties now, why don't you tell us about them? ”

Aunt Li covered her face, a little afraid to take care of her.

This neighbor is not afraid of suffering a loss, but he is afraid of losing face.

As the saying goes, emergency is not poor, she knows the situation of her own family very well, if she wants to find someone to help, then she is really not ready to pay it back.

She hasn't been sorry for anyone in her life, and she really can't open that mouth.

At that moment, Aunt Li whispered: "My kid, I told him that there is a war outside, don't go out to run a business." But he just didn't listen, he had to go, and borrowed a large amount of money, saying that he had found a group of good people in the rivers and lakes, and nothing would happen, and he couldn't go this time.

As a result, there were still thieves on the road, and none of the people in the group came back."

As she spoke, Aunt Li was already crying, and the clear tears slipped down between her dim yellow eyes, and her emaciated face was already yellow with a little black cheeks washed by the water, but it was a little whiter.

"Do you still go to business during the war?"

Gu Dan couldn't help but frown when he listened.

Since the court had to fight on three fronts, the impact has been multifaceted, the most obvious is the collapse of the world.

Nowadays, it is much more difficult to travel around than it was before the war.

It is said that in Yuzhou, walking ten miles of good roads, it is considered lucky not to meet a few robbers!

If you want to run a business at this time, you must not only have money, but also have enough people to deal with the dangers of the outside world.

But he remembered that Aunt Li's family's wealth was not small, even if she gave up some money and didn't earn it, she could live a good life, so why risk death to do such a thing?

was too greedy to die, leaving an old mother and a young child, and owed a lot of debts, what is the purpose?

"He can't go if he doesn't go."

Yu Lisheng walked in from outside the door and said coldly: "Now that the treasury has no money, and the taxes are greatly discounted, the more it is collected, the more it is lacking, so what can I do?" ”

The corners of his mouth drew a mocking smile, not knowing whether he was mocking the temple or the damn world, and continued: "Then I can only think of other ways to make some money." The money has been received, and those officials are also very distressed. If you don't fish down, who will you find to make up for it?

Those who used to have surplus wealth in business have long been targeted. Either go to the business by yourself to make a big deal, or go into prison to reflect and introspect, and you want to stay at home and enjoy happiness? So what do you guys do? ”

The Gu family's small courtyard is calm, but it doesn't mean that it can be like this outside.

For a long time, Yu Lisheng is the person who pays the most attention to outside things in the small courtyard.

He couldn't be clearer about why there was such an accident in Aunt Li's family.

It's nothing more than that the top is poor, and the pockets naturally have to be tightened, this little thing in Aunt Li's family can be said to abound now, who let their background not be deep enough, a little strength but not much?

Kill pigs, they are all killed in batches, where do you need to care if the pigs are happy or not? The lord is happy!

When a big man opens his mouth, it is just a matter of one sentence.

This kind of suffering falls on a family, and it may make people feel sad, but when the whole world is about the same, it doesn't seem to matter.

Aunt Li wiped her tears silently and stopped talking.

The originally wealthy family was shattered overnight, not to mention that even the slightly valuable items in the family were moved, and not even a good piece of clothing was left.

Of course, the most valuable house must also be paid, but the old man is kind-hearted, but he does not force people to die, and he will collect it after ten days and half a month, and the main thing is the word benevolence and righteousness.

These things were originally their own affairs, and it was not easy to pour bitter water with anyone.

It's just that when I heard Cang's heart-rending shout, I finally felt that I should come over and apologize.

If it weren't for the girl saying that she was cold, she wouldn't have caused the child to be beaten.

Gu Dan glared at Yu Lisheng, signaled him not to mention this kind of thing at this time, and then asked, "What are you going to do when you get old?" ”

Just looking at the clothes she was wearing, I also understood that there were no valuable objects at home, and it had just snowed in this winter, and if there was no one to help, I was afraid that she would be frozen to death.

"I've already contacted someone from the clan, and someone will pick us up today."

Aunt Li barely squeezed out a smile, and forced a smile: "In the past, there was no way that you couldn't survive, just suffer for a few days." We used to live a hard life, and it is better for people to live than anything else.

Master Gu, we know that you are a good person. In the past, whoever was sick in the family had to bother your help, not to mention, and only collected money for medicinal materials. It's just that our family can't blame anyone! We haven't done anything bad in our lives, and we can't be spineless when we're old, right? ”

"Can you stand it, and so can the child?" Gu Dan asked.

Aunt Li immediately froze, and only after a while did she say, "Nannan's mother is still there, and it's still okay to go back to her parents' house." The family business here has failed, and it is good to return to his hometown to live a stable life. ”

During the conversation, the door opened again, and Lin Xiaoyi, who came here at some point, walked in.

She is dressed in a phoenix robe, wearing a dragon and phoenix bead crown, and the red embroidered skirt has its own Xia veil decoration, with a woven gold dragon and phoenix pattern, which is honorable and luxurious, and her appearance is extraordinary, and she looks like a queen.

Lin Xiaoyi walked to Aunt Li's side, as if the moon on the horizon and the soil on the ground reflected each other, and the gap between the sky and the earth could be seen at a glance.

"I don't know if my aunt's difficulties can you tell me in detail? I can help you solve these troubles. ”

Lin Xiaoyi's white, delicate, slender and well-maintained green onion jade fingers pulled over Aunt Li's dry and thin black palm, and her voice was kind and gentle, like a girl next door.

It's just that her arrival made Aunt Li even more cramped, and when her eyes touched her slightly, she moved away as if she had been electrocuted.

The golden dragon and phoenix pattern are not available to the royal family.

If you can have both, your identity is self-explanatory.

Where can such a character be accessible to ordinary people? Even when the family and wealth are empty, it is even more difficult to pay respects.

Although Aunt Li knows that Gu Dan is powerful, she can be regarded as a neighbor for more than ten years, and she has had a little intersection, which is not daunting, at most it is difficult to speak.

But in the face of Lin Xiaoyi, she couldn't even speak.

The gap between identities is like a cloud of mud, and all aspects are enough to make people feel it.

Such a big man, a moment of kindness can make people climb to the sky in one step, and a look is enough to make people ruin, and staying away is what most people will do.

The little thing that happened in her family was indeed a tragedy in her own home, but what was it in the whole big moon?

The situations she needs to face, or even worse, abound.

"I've only been a little sad for the last few days, and we're going back to the clan soon." Aunt Li kept shaking her head, still refusing to accept it.

She didn't come here to beg, she just wanted to apologize.

Although her child is dead, she is still alive!

Let people help once, can you help for a lifetime?

People can't be resurrected after death, so instead of taking their home and business here and trembling like walking on thin ice, it is better to take their children back to their hometown.

Life will certainly be harder, at least there will be no need to intrigue and be terrified all the time.

Aunt Li's attitude was extremely resolute, she didn't want to take the opportunity to pour bitter water, and she refused to accept the help of Gu Dan and Lin Xiaoyi, and she wholeheartedly wanted to take her granddaughter back to her hometown.

Even if the war outside is still not extinguished, I don't want to stay here sadly.

The atmosphere became a little dreary.

There was a terrible silence in the room for a while.

Fortunately, by the side of the stove, Xiao Ying was still happily feeding the little girl.

After the little girl burped and whispered that she was full, Xiao Ying finally let go of her palm for the time being, and asked softly, "Tell my sister what you want?" Sister has everything here, I can help you! ”

Xu was because of Xiaoying's kindness that made her feel warm, and the little girl was stained by the heat of the stove, and her thin face was a little ruddy, and she whispered: "Sister, I want to be a dog." ”

"Huh?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looked at the room that seemed to be quiet.
