Liang Er thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

He knew in his heart that if brick-making was really that simple, it was estimated that his sister would think about making it herself instead of spending money to buy it at the beginning.

It must have been some difficulty in buying bricks.

He glanced at Gu Lan, and his sister's face didn't show it at all, as if there was no difficulty in knocking her down and making her afraid.

Liang Er's heart was touched, she walked over, hugged Gu Lan with her small body, and called softly, "Sister." ”

Gu Lan hugged him, pulled Zhu'er and Zhu'er over, and hugged the three of them.

"If you want to make bricks by yourself, you also need us to work together, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid! I'm not afraid of anything, I have a lot of strength, I can help my sister carry yellow mud! ”

Zhu'er slapped his chest with a shocking sound, he was not afraid at all, what was so difficult about this?

Liang Er also nodded.

Zhu'er is even more well-behaved, Gu Lan hasn't seen her cry these days, every time they work and take her with her, the wind and the sun, hungry and thirsty, Zhu'er is always very well-behaved, as if she knows that they are difficult.

Gu Lan was very upset, and she was a little worried that this child would have autism.

But Zhu'er doesn't look like she is autistic at other times.

Deciding to make mud bricks, Gu Lan asked her younger brother to put away the salt and cloth and start processing the pork.

The pork she bought was very fat, and at this time it was no better than later generations, and people liked to eat fatty meat, which was a few points more expensive than lean meat.

I bought fatty meat, which can be used to fry lard, and the fried lard residue is also very fragrant, even if you boil wild vegetables and throw one or two pieces into it, it can also enhance the flavor.

Gu Lan put firewood on the shelf, washed the pork, cut it into large pieces, and threw it into the iron pot sent back by the Gu family.

I only heard a "zila" sound in the pot, and soon the unique aroma of lard burst out.

Gu Lan kept stir-frying the lard, and when the oil in the pot was full of oil, and the fat was getting smaller and smaller, the lard was finished.

Turn off the heat, wait for the lard to cool, and then pour the lard into a bowl, two catties of fat, squeeze out almost a small bowl of lard, save money, and it can be used for a month.

Gu Lan washed the wild vegetables, fried a plate of wild vegetables in a pot with fried lard, and then cooked millet porridge.

The three meatloafs bought, one for Zhu'er, one for Liang'er, and one for her and Zhu'er.

Zhu'er has a small appetite, like a kitten, and she doesn't eat much, so she is reluctant to buy more cakes.

Zhu'er broke a large piece of cake and stuffed it for Gu Lan, and Liang'er did the same.

In the end, Gu Lan ate the most.

The wild vegetables fried in lard are also much more delicious than usual, and with millet porridge, they warm their stomachs and fill their stomachs.

The autumn afternoon sun was pleasant, and they leaned against the wall, squinting and chatting to eat.

Zhu'er said: "Sister, I feel more comfortable than before I was separated." ”

Gu Lan stroked the bead in her arms, drowsy: "Really? ”

"Really, in the past, even if the grandmother made delicious food, they wouldn't give us food, and the work was done for their family, and we still had to be hungry, still have to work, and we had to be scolded and beaten."

How can I be happy now, I do it for myself, even if I am beaten and scolded, I am not afraid.

Gu Lan couldn't help laughing, why did it sound a bit like slave emancipation.

"If only I could live like this for the rest of my life." Liang Er also agreed with the eldest brother's words.

No matter how smart he is, he is still a child who has never eaten bitterly, and the greatest happiness as far as the eye can see may be to eat and drink enough.

I never thought of any great things to achieve fame.

Gu Lan smiled at the corner of her mouth, maybe many years later, she wouldn't have to worry about these things anymore, but she would definitely remember how she felt today.

Unfortunately, this good mood did not last long.

"Milk, I smell it! They really bought pork! ”

A harsh but familiar voice wafted in.

Gu Lan and the three children's brows furrowed in unison, and they reluctantly opened their eyes.

I saw the Gu family led by Gu Xinghua.

This time, Gu Lan's uncles didn't come, and a group of women came, either disdainful, disgusted, or disgusted, staring at the Gu family's children, as if they owed them money.

Gu Lan stood up and kicked the pillar to let him take Zhu'er into the house, and Liang Er didn't forget to bring the lard bowl in.

After a while, even the iron pot was brought in, and the door was closed, for fear that the Gu family would come to rob it.

Mrs. Gu's face is not good, is this to guard them off as robbers?

"These two children are becoming more and more uneducated! I don't know how to say hello when I see my grandmother coming, dead girl, look at how you teach your children! ”

"Grandma," Gu Lan's voice was lazy, she was full of food and drink, she didn't have the heart to take care of this group of flies, why was it so annoying, isn't it good to live by herself?

"What are you doing today, if you send food and drink, we children who have no father and no mother will naturally welcome you, but if you want to do something else, we children without fathers and mothers must think about ourselves, after all, the heart of defense is indispensable."

She is not the original Gu Lan, she works hard, and she has to swallow her anger when things are robbed.

"You dead girl, you have a hard mouth, let me ask you, where did you get the money to buy pork, did you steal the family's money?"

The second room Chen looked at Gu Lan vigilantly, she had just asked her man to make sure that he didn't give Gu Lan money, but when she talked about it with Mrs. Gu, everyone had doubts in their hearts.

When the family was separated, Gu Laosan was still alive, and there was no shortage of pots, hoes, and land, but Gu Laosan was sick and sold his family's things, not long after he died, Gu Lan and her mother also fell ill and died, if it weren't for Mrs. Gu's disagreement to sell, it is estimated that Gu Lan would have been sold to her father and mother for medical treatment.

Can't sell the land, almost all other valuable things in the family are sold short, and later Gu Laosan and his wife died, and Mrs. Gu took the four children back, saying that they were taking care of them, but in fact, they were squeezing, and the youngest Zhu'er was also called to work.

In the end, winter is coming, counting the food that Gu Lan took back and the food they want to eat in winter, the rest of the Gu family is not happy, so they split up for the second time.

This time, Gu Lan and the others were driven to this small dilapidated house, and they robbed the fields and grain, and they had nothing.

If it weren't for the modern Gu Lan being reborn into the orphan girl Gu Lan, I am afraid that all four of their children would die!

As soon as she thought of this, endless hatred surged in Gu Lan's body.

How could the Gu family have the face to say such a thing?

Gu Lan's eyes gradually turned cold, sneered, and stabbed back: "Second aunt is afraid that she was not blinded by an eagle, and even her brain was taken away, right?" When my father's and mother's bones were not cold, we were kicked out of the house, didn't my second aunt search our bodies, for fear that we would take away a grain of rice? ”

"Whose money am I stealing? If I steal your money, come and call to see if the money is yours! ”
