Chapter 20: You're an Outsider
"Xiaojuan, it's not that my mother won't let you read it, my mother is worried that you will be like your eldest brother when you go out!" Zhang Guixiang was very worried.
Zhou Xiaojuan stopped talking, and Zhou Laiqian stopped talking.
They yearn for the outside world, but there are indeed many dangers outside, just think about them are a little scared.
Gu Lin said softly: "Mother, it's not as dangerous outside as you think, if it's really that dangerous, how can those people outside live!" ”
"After I find out the situation at home, we will go to the town as a family when we have time!"
"You can't go to the head office near far, anyway, you won't be as worried as you are now!"
Zhang Guixiang stopped talking.
Go to town.
She hadn't thought about going to town in her life.
It must have been a big place, with a lot of people and a lot of cars.
"Xiaojuan, my mother has no opinion here, you go back to pack your things now, and let your second brother send you to school early tomorrow morning, what do you need to go back, you tell me!"
Zhou Xiaojuan looked at her mother in disbelief, and Zhou Laiqian spread out on the chair like no bones.
Zhou Laiqian looked up with his eyes: "What do you see, don't hurry up and pack your things, I'll send you there tomorrow and pay you tuition!" ”
"For the sake of me paying for your tuition, you will be a little lighter with me in the future, and you will save me some face in front of outsiders!"
Zhou Xiaojuan smiled: "That'...... When pigs fly! ”
"Hey, you dead girl!"
Gu Lin smiled and said to Zhou Laiqian: "I said that you are serious about letting Xiaojuan study, what do you think?" ”
"Thoughts?" Zhou Laiqian squinted: "What can I think, she is my sister-in-law, you can let her study as an outsider, I can make others look down on me!" ”
"Whatever you think, letting you study for Xiaojuan is also to find something for you to do, otherwise you don't know that it's not easy to support your family!"
"When you get married and have your own daughter-in-law and children, you will be able to afford the responsibilities of a man!"
Zhou Laiqian said: "What are you talking about, I never thought about getting married!" ”
"If you don't want to do it now, it doesn't mean you don't want to do it in the future, I'll explain to you first, you will send Xiaojuan to me tomorrow and come back honestly!"
"If you dare to move bricks or dig coal in the coal mine like your eldest brother, if you dare to go, I will dare to fight, you can't get off the kang, if you don't believe it, you can try!"
"Try ......"
Zhou Laiqian met his mother's worried eyes, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"After you send it, come back quickly, take me to our field to see, if you want to live a good life, you can't just rely on farming!"
Gu Lin saw that this kid had been yawning, and originally wanted him to go to sleep quickly, but remembered that this kid had been sleeping with his mother-in-law all along.
She thought that it was not up to this night to make money, and besides, everyone was tired all day today.
She said to Zhang Guixiang and went back to the house.
When she talked to the Gu family, her temples and the back of her head hurt for a while.
Especially the back of the head, as if someone had beaten me.
I don't know if it's because I've slept too long, or if I'm in a better mood, and the back of my head won't hurt anymore.
The temples don't jump so much, too.
There was no wax in the house, Gu Lin spread out on the kang and looked at the moon outside, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
The people who came to help this morning tore off all the big red happy words in her house, even the ones on the wall calendar.
When there was a happy word, Gu Lin could still feel the existence of Zhou Laiyun, and knew that he was a widow of a man who was married and died.
Now I don't feel it at all.
Originally, there were few things that belonged to Zhou Laiyun, and when I went up the mountain, I packed them together in a sack, and I took them up the mountain and burned them.
Even the quilts and pillows he had covered were burned.
The house was not big, and there were not many things, and suddenly there was one less person's things, and the house seemed empty.
Just like Gu Lin's mood now.
The indescribable emptiness.
She was a little uncomfortable and wanted to cry.
The hand unconsciously touched the position next to it.
Every time I look at the side, my eyes and nose are sour.
She knows.
It must be the original owner who wants to come to luck in the week.
I'm going to cry when I think about it.
Seemingly.
Zhou Laiyun is really good to the original owner.
Thinking wildly in his head, he didn't know what time Gu Lin fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already bright outside.
Yesterday was gloomy and drizzling in the morning.
It's a sunny day.
The sun is shining.
Gu Lin came out of the house and stretched.
"Arin, get up! The rice is hot in the pot and go to eat, my mother will go to the field after finishing this bit of needlework, you will put the bowl back and I will wash it after you finish eating, you remember to go to the backyard to feed our chickens! ”
Zhang Guixiang sat by the kitchen wall, with a basket on the small bench in front of her, in which needlework, thread, and scissors were placed.
She held a pair of white soles in her hand, and after a few clicks on the shoes, she picked up a needle and scratched it on her scalp.
Such a picture of good years, Gu Lin still saw it when he was a child, and it was still someone else's house.
Never saw it again when I grew up.
Seeing it again, Gu Lin felt extraordinarily beautiful.
She walked over.
"Mother, why don't you sleep more?"
Zhang Guixiang smiled kindly every time she looked at her.
"You forgot, I have to send Xiaojuan to study today, Xiaojuan's school is far away, I can't come back at noon, I want to get up and cook for her!"
"Really?" Gu Lin said: "I haven't been to Xiaojuan School, I don't know!" ”
"Mother, have you eaten?"
"Eat, you go eat quickly, I'll go to the field when I'm done with this, and when the money comes back, let him go to the village and ask who has seeds, and we will plant them quickly!"
"Mother, you wait for me, I'll go with you after dinner, I haven't been to our land yet, I have to remember, otherwise I may not be able to plant someone's land in the future!"
Zhang Guixiang smiled, and felt that what Gu Lin said was very likely.
There were a lot of people who came to help yesterday, but the cooking was also vegetarian.
There were still some Chinese cabbage stewed tofu left, and Zhang Guixiang made two rice and some corn tortillas in the morning.
There was still a lot of rice left in the pot, and in order to let himself take care of his body as soon as possible, Gu Lin filled himself with half a bowl of rice, and then put the dishes on top.
She eats fast.
After eating, Zhang Guixiang had already fed the chickens, and the two took a shovel, a rake, and a big broom and went out.
They went out late, so they didn't meet anyone on the way.
While Gu Lin and Zhang Guixiang walked into the field, they learned about the situation at home with Zhang Guixiang and the current prices here.
"Ouch, the Zhou family's mourning star can be regarded as going out! Those who knew thought that they were lucky and died, and those who didn't know thought that the daughter-in-law newly married by the Zhou family died! ”
As he walked, suddenly Gu Lin heard a strange sound of yin and yang.
She followed the voice and found the person who was talking right in front of her.
"Alin don't pay attention to her, she is that kind of person, and she can't see others doing well!" Zhang Guixiang was afraid that Gu Lin would get angry, so she took her hand.
