Chapter 13: Listen to the Corner

"Then big brother, when you go to the town to sell vegetables again, I'll also go and sell some food to try?" Li Mumu said, "I'll try the water first to see if I can do it." The first time I went, I didn't bring a lot of things, and I came back when I sold out. ”

"If the effect is good, then I will continue, at most, I will sell until noon, and when I sell out, I will come back, and teach the children to read at home in the afternoon. If it doesn't work well, I won't toss. Li Mumu said.

"Then let's try it." Gu's mother agreed, "Your craftsmanship is so good, you really shouldn't be buried." ”

Gu Shangyong said: "It just so happens that I am going to go to the town the day after tomorrow, and you will come with me when you arrive." ”

When the matter was so decided, Li Mumu had to think about what to sell and eat.

When he went back to the room at night, Li Mumu rummaged through the wardrobe.

Although her clothes are not showy, they are not so hidden at night, which is really not very safe.

Li Mumu thought about it, and went to look through Gu Shangqing's clothes again.

Gu Shangqing was in a hurry that night, and he didn't have time to bring too many clothes, so most of them stayed at home.

Unexpectedly, Gu Shangqing really had a set of black clothes.

Li Mumu put it on, and it was somewhat lenient.

The sleeves and trouser legs were pulled up several times.

For convenience, I found rope to tighten the cuffs and trouser legs.

Even the belt was tied several times.

It's hidden in the dark like this, and it's really hard to see her if you don't pay attention.

Li Mumu looked at his dress with satisfaction, turned around and went to open the door.

As a result, as soon as I opened the door, I was about to sneak out, and when I looked down, I saw three babies standing neatly at the door.

They are arranged from tall to low like a cell phone signal.

Li Mumu: "......"

"Third aunt, are you going to listen to the corner?" Gu Baijin looked up with his little face, looking more and more simple and soft in the moonlight.

Li Mumu: "......"

"Third aunt, you are still wearing the legendary night clothes!" Gu Baiyuan's eyes lit up.

Gu Xiuxiu is introverted and has a steady personality, so she can sit still during class.

But Gu Baiyuan and Gu Baijin are young and naughty.

In order to arouse their interest in reading, Li Mumu will intersperse some stories with them during class to attract their attention.

Among them, it mentioned overnight clothes, but I didn't expect Gu Baiyuan to really remember it.

"Third aunt, we also have to go with you to listen to the corner." Gu Xiuxiu said.

Li Mumu: "......"

Gu Xiuxiu has learned badly, why are you so naughty now.

"You three are waiting for me here?" Li Mumu asked.

Gu Xiuxiu shook her head and said, "You said during the day that you would go door-to-door tonight to listen to their corners. That's why we're calling you. ”

Li Mumu: "......"

"Third aunt, you don't plan to listen to it alone, do you?" Gu Baiyuan's expression seemed to be that Li Mumu was going to eat alone.

"Third aunt, we can go and listen in two ways." Gu Xiuxiu had already planned, "I'll go all the way with Bai Yuan, and you will go all the way with Bai Jin, so that we can listen faster." ”

"You've all thought about it before you came to me." Li Mumu looked down at the three babies with tears and laughter.

"Of course." Gu Xiuxiu said, "We are ...... with the third aunt It's a comrade-in-arms! ”

This is also the word mentioned in the story told by Li Mumu.

"Okay." Li Mumu looked at the three of them, "The clothes of the three of you are quite suitable." ”

Although Gu Xiuxiu didn't have black clothes, she also specially picked a gray one, which was not conspicuous in the dark night.

Gu Baiyuan and Gu Baijin were also wearing dusty clothes.

"However, let's not divide the army." Li Mumu was always worried about the two children's actions, and it would be bad if there was an accident, "Let's go together." ”

The three babies nodded at her neatly, and couldn't help but look excited.

"It's okay for you to go with me, but you must be obedient, especially if you can't make a sound, it's over if people find out." Li Mumu instructed the three of them.

"We must be careful." Before leaving the house, Gu Xiuxiu had already lowered her voice and spoke quietly.

Li Mumu closed the door and asked Gu Xiuxiu again, "Xiuxiu, where is the ladder in our house?" ”

Since you want to listen to the root of the wall, you must climb over the wall, and the ladder is essential.

Li Mumu has planned it all.

Gu Xiuxiu pursed her lips and smiled silently, knowing what Li Mumu meant, so she said, "In the firewood room, I'll take it out." ”

"You wait here, I'll get it. The ladder is weirdly heavy. Li Mumu dropped this sentence and went to the firewood room.

Leaving Gu Xiuxiu with Gu Baiyuan and Gu Baijin, waiting in the courtyard.

Gu Xiuxiu's eyes were straight and with admiration, she watched Li Mumu enter the firewood room.

Li Mumu was the first to say that this thing was sinking, and she didn't need to take it for her, and she was taken care of as a child like Gu Baiyuan and Gu Baijin.

In fact, the family is very good to her, but her grandmother and father have a deep-rooted concept, thinking that she is a girl and an eldest sister, and she should take care of her younger brother and take on some work within her ability.

Like moving a ladder, the family doesn't think there is anything, and usually when she is busy with things at hand, she will casually tell her what to do.

Gu Xiuxiu is also willing to help the family, otherwise she will be idle at home.

But Li Mumu is different, Li Mumu will treat her as the same child as Bai Yuan and Bai Jin.

Worried that she didn't have enough strength, worried that she was hurt, worried that she wasn't safe.

and never told her that he wanted to let his younger brothers.

After a while, I saw Li Mumu come out carrying a ladder.

Seeing Gu Xiuxiu looking at herself directly, Li Mumu asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Xiuxiu smiled and shook her head, "It's okay." ”

"Third aunt, I'll take it with you." Gu Xiuxiu said.

"No, I can carry it, and you can help me when I'm tired." Li Mumu said, "You are still growing tall, but you can't always carry these heavy objects, you can't grow tall if you carry too much and are easy to press." ”

"Okay, then you must tell me when you are tired." Gu Xiuxiu's heart was warm, although she felt that Li Mumu was not very tall.

But Li Mumu always took care of her carefully, and didn't want her to have any bad feelings.

Li Mumu carried the ladder and took the three babies out of the Gu family's courtyard.

Gu Baijin asked in a low voice, "Third aunt, whose house should we go to first?" ”

"Xiuxiu, who in our village usually likes to talk about people's rights and wrongs?" Li Mumu asked Gu Xiuxiu.

In the original book, it was mentioned that Aunt Li in Yong'an Village was the most fond of chewing the root of people's tongues, and the neighbors Wang and Tie Danniang on both sides, the three of them often got together to talk about the gossip of each family.

Sure enough, Gu Xiuxiu said: "It's Aunt Li, who lives in the village, and her neighbors Tie Danniang and Wang, the three of them get together all day long to talk about other people's gossip." ”

"The village is lively, and we will pass by when we go in and out of the village, so it is convenient for them to stare at others and talk about right and wrong." Gu Xiuxiu said.
