"If you want to go to your mother's house to get some money, you can't get it, and if you ask for a recipe, you won't get a few back, your mother's shop sells so much food, who will you bring me back and fool?"

Through the crack in the door that was not closed, Gu Jingcheng could see Gu Shui holding his stomach trembling.

Her hair was scattered against half of her face at the moment, and her exposed skin was sickly white, just like yesterday.

It was obviously winter, but Gu Shui was pregnant with a child, but she was still wearing thin clothes, which made people feel distressed.

She stood in the cold wind and shivered, which made Gu Jingcheng's originally cold face feel pity, in the end, they were a family, Gu Shui was his sister, how could he live such a life in the Zhou family?

Gu Jingcheng stood at the door, and after he took a steady breath, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Gu Shui heard someone knocking on the door, she first raised her eyes in fear and glanced at Zhou's mother, and after seeing the disgust on her face, she shrank back in fear, raised her slender arm to wipe away the tears on her face, and went to open the door for Gu Jingcheng with her stomach.

Gu Shui thought that someone from the village was looking for Zhou's mother, and she was ready to accompany the smiling face, but she didn't expect that the person who came was actually Gu Jingcheng.

"Third brother?"

The person standing in front of her was not Gu Jingcheng who she had just met yesterday, he was gentler today than yesterday, maybe he was wearing a little thicker, and he looked heavier than usual, so he felt less alienated from others.

"Come in and sit down, you came suddenly, my little sister doesn't have anything to greet you."

A chaotic thought flashed in Gu Shui's head for a moment, and then he immediately showed a smile on his face and wanted to invite Gu Jingcheng to sit at home.

But she completely forgot that her face was red from the cold, and no matter how much her hands were folded, she couldn't stop the frostbite on it.

Gu Jingcheng didn't know that she had been pregnant for a few months, only that her huge belly was too conspicuous compared to her thin person.

He watched Gu Shui's eyes grow darker and deeper, then shook his head and declined her invitation.

"Is there something I want to tell you about this time, so I can talk about it with me?"

Gu Jingcheng was reluctant to step into Zhou's house, and after Gu Shui was rejected by him, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked back at Zhou's mother a little overwhelmed.

Her white lips twitched: "Mother......"

"If people want you to go out, you can go out, looking like a little family, but it looks like I'm locked up for you."

What Zhou's mother hates most is Gu Shui's weak appearance.

It's just that there is a brother who is a lifter, and he shows her off.

——

Gu Shui led Gu Jingcheng to the open space next to the door of Zhou's house, and occasionally a few Zhou family members passed by, and she would greet them warmly.

It's just that few people pay attention to her and reply to her with such enthusiasm as she does.

"With no end in sight, how long do you want to continue?"

The Gu Shui in Gu Jingcheng's memory, although he was no different from an ordinary peasant girl, at least when she was chasing love, he really had the feeling of seeing the fresh vitality burst out in her.

At that time, she was so young, but she already dared to pay the price for pursuing what she loved.

Although now, her life may not be as good as she had imagined at the beginning.

"After all, I have children, even if I don't think about myself, I have to think of them, not to mention that I still have one in my belly, and mothers can't always watch their children suffer."

Gu Shui understood the meaning of Gu Jingcheng's words, her eyes were red, she kept raising her sleeves to wipe her tears, and while sobbing, she made up her mind with words: "Get through it, as long as I can get through it, life will definitely get better." ”

No matter how patient she is, God will not treat her so kindly.

"And what if you can't make it?"

Gu Jingcheng condensed: "The cold winter wax moon, the spring cold is precipitous, do you think you have to endure it, but this cold wind right now?" ”

——

Gu Jingcheng and Gu Shui talked a lot, and gave her a tael of silver when they left.

Gu Jingcheng was afraid that she would not be able to accept it well, and it would attract the concern of the Zhou family.

A tael of silver was enough for her to buy something for herself and her child temporarily.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.

Gu Jingcheng hoped that Gu Shui could consider his words well and tide over the suffering.

But despite this, on the way back, Gu Jingcheng still couldn't forget the pitiful look he saw her today, so he went into the city to find Zhou Lin and asked him to help investigate the Zhou family.

Zhou Lin was originally not interested in these investigators, but as soon as he heard that this matter was related to his little sister, he instantly became excited.

"I heard that you have a sister before, but I haven't seen it, I didn't expect this little girl to live so hard now, and she found a second slipper to be her husband."

Zhou Lin's expression of eating melons fell into Gu Jingcheng's eyes, which only made Gu Jingcheng feel that he was very underbeaten.

A roll of eyes passed, and Zhou Lin immediately came down seriously.

He coughed lightly twice and cleared his throat: "Don't look at me like this, I just look at your serious face to adjust the atmosphere, this matter is wrapped up in me, in a few days, I will send you a message after I find out in a few days." ”

"It's not too small."

Gu Jingcheng believed in the ability of a good brother, so he only gave one sentence.

"Cheng, you still don't worry about my errands."

After Gu Jingcheng and Zhou Lin arranged Gu Shui's affairs, they went home.

The people who greeted the New Year were stubble after stubble, and finally no one came when Su Xiaomu was almost numb.

In a flash, it was the seventh day of the new year, and everyone ended the New Year's rest and began to work one after another.

Whether it is going to the field or doing business, the village, which has been silent for almost a month, has finally become lively again for its livelihood.

The Yin family and the Chen family were in charge of the family's work in the city, and Su Xiaomu thought that he would be bored to stay at home, so he followed them into the city to see if there was anything he could do to help.

It's just something they really didn't expect, but in a New Year's Day, the streets of the city are full of people selling pancakes, fruits and ice powder, not only bumping into their business, but also a very large number of people who bump into business.

Yin and Chen saw that the people on the street were their competitors, and naturally there were one hundred and twenty unwilling in their hearts.

They didn't even care about the business in the shop, so they spent money to find a few stalls to buy ice powder and pancakes and fruits to taste.

I don't know about it, but it's a shock when I taste it.

In the past, almost every vendor on this street made food that tasted the same as their cooking.

Except for the slight difference in taste, it is like looking in the mirror in the kitchen, who is different from whom?

Yin and Chen sat in their own shop angrily, and they didn't have much to do business.

Anyway, after this trouble, very few people are willing to eat at their place, and repeat customers or something, it is simply non-existent.
