Chapter 12: Kicked Out?
The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.
Xu Huaiyi happily pushed his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law through the village, and went straight to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain that had been abandoned for two years.
"Hey, that was kicked out by the Xu family, right?"
"The Xu family's style is really ruthless, the daughter-in-law only gave birth to a child yesterday, it seems that she didn't give anything, isn't this sincere to ask for the lives of those three people?"
"I guess it's okay, right? A pair of medicine costs two taels of silver, who can eat it? Don't forget, there is a money-burning scholar in his family, if you take care of this end, you can't take care of that end, who is light and who is heavy...... According to the shrewdness of the old couple, what else does this need to say? β
"That's not going to get out......"
"Maybe I'm afraid of dying at home, right? Besides, the Gu family was recruited to enter the door back then, not the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, Xu Huaiyi, the son-in-law of the door, was written on the document for fifty taels of silver, and clearly passed on the incense to the Gu family, and the Xu family was almost the same as breaking off the relationship, before I was afraid of people poking the backbone, so I lived in the Xu family, and now, hehe......"
"Alas, what a pitiful!"
"Okay, don't pity the poor family, take pity on yourself first, if it doesn't rain again, there will be no harvest in the field, let's just wait to starve to death."
"I really can't do it, so I can only go to escape the famine and ask for food."
"Escape from the famine? Alas, that road is even worse, and how many can survive on the way to escape the wilderness......"
The two who were sympathized with by the people in the village and had no way to live, were in the RV, enjoying the beauty, Gu Huanxi drank milk, paired with a taro-flavored semi-cooked cheese, with a dense and sweet taste, and was full of happiness when he took a bite.
However, she stared at Xu Huaiyi opposite, and her eyes were still very resentful.
Xu Huaiyi sat cross-legged on the sofa, a mouthful of chicken feet, a sip of drink, the one that he ate was called a beauty, the spicy chicken feet were broiled, or boneless, just looking at it made people drool, the drink was carbonated, cold and cold, and half a bottle was poured in one go, which could give you comfort from head to toe.
But she can't eat any of them.
Just watched, scratching my heart and lungs greedily.
Xu Huaiyi ate and drank a lot, and finally relieved the stuffiness just now, and finally found that his daughter-in-law's eyes were wrong, so he quickly wiped his mouth and said with a flattering smile, "What, when you are out of confinement, you can eat whatever you want." β
Gu Huanxi snorted, shook the girl in the cradle, and said gloomily, "If you breastfeed Ah Li, I'm afraid I will have to wait for a year and a half......"
Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi didn't dare to say anything, secretly thinking that he would eat these in the future, but he had to avoid his daughter-in-law, otherwise his daughter-in-law would make him feel in trouble.
"Let's go to work, didn't you say that you have to return the cart and go up the mountain? On the surface, the two of us came out of the Xu family without taking a bite to eat, you don't have to find a reason to explain the problem of eating later? β
Anyway, go up the mountain and go through the motions, no matter what you dig or what you catch, you always have a voice, otherwise you can still live if you don't have anything to eat, isn't that clean and suspicious?
Xu Huaiyi got up suddenly, "Okay, I'll go now, daughter-in-law, you have a good rest at home......
When he went out, Gu Huanxi didn't rest, after giving birth, moderate activity is conducive to physical recovery, and it is easy to lose qi and blood when he is always lying down, these three rooms have been cleaned very clean, and there is no work for her to do, so she took out her clothes and bedding, and picked up the clothes that could be used and cleaned up.
The original owner of the two, although it is a little weak, but they all love to be clean, and the original owner is not bad, the stitches of the clothes are finely sewn, there are a few collars of tops, and flowers and plants are embroidered, the fly in the ointment is that there are some eye-catching patches, but when you really want to escape the famine, you will have a sense of security in such shabby clothing, and you will not be remembered.
However, she didn't want to be too wronged by the bedding she covered, so she took out some straw and filled it with some cotton, which was mixed with reed wadding, which was not so conspicuous, and the key was to keep warm and soft.
On the way to escape the famine, catching up with the winter, keeping warm is too important, she has read history books, most of those who fled the famine are not starving to death, but freezing to death, dying of disease, and some were killed by bandits.
As for cotton, there is no shortage in the car, I planted a few ridges before, picked more than 30 catties, and originally planned to make bedding for my daughter a little older, but now it is just in time.
After finishing the work, it was already more than ten o'clock, and the girl also woke up with a chirp, Gu Huanxi hurriedly changed her diaper, held her in her arms, and tried to let her eat a few bites, although there was milk powder in the car, she was not afraid that the child would have no milk to eat, but she still wanted to feed herself.
However, the foundation of this body is too poor, and Ah Li's little bun is so anxious that he grabs it with both hands, and even his calves are cooperating with force, but he still can't eat a bite.
Gu Huanxi had no choice but to make milk powder for her.
After waiting for her to eat and drink and fall asleep, she saw that the sun outside was so hot that there was not even a silk wind, so she opened the door and went out and walked around the yard.
The yard is not big, it has been simply cleaned up, and it can be put down, and the cut grass is piled on the side of the gate, and it can be used as firewood when it is dried. A pomegranate tree was planted on the west side, and the flowering period had passed at this time, and it bore a lot of fruit, and there was a paulownia tree on the east side, with a large crown and lush foliage, and the slightest effect of drought could be seen.
The backyard is smaller, with two jujube trees, and only a thatched house is built in the corner, and there is not even a pigsty and chicken coop that is common in the households.
Gu Huanxi has the memory of the original owner, and he is not surprised at all by this situation, the original owner's father Gu Frame is a showman, and his ancestral home is far away from Qingzhou, because of some reason, he was disheartened, and after giving up the imperial examination, he took his five-year-old daughter to travel around the mountains and rivers, saying that he was traveling in the mountains and rivers, and his life was really poor.
Gu Jia has a kind of literati who is noble and naΓ―ve, and his temperament is stubborn and stubborn, he is not good at housework, and the educated girl is also weak and can be bullied, and she can't support her family at all.
Therefore, after the two of them lived at the foot of the mountain, they didn't look like they were passing through the days at all, and they didn't have any rules at all.
Before Gu Jian died, he was also aware of these problems, so he took out all his savings and recruited a son-in-law for his daughter, and deliberately chose Xu Huaiyi, who was honest, because he was afraid that his daughter would be bullied by her in-laws.
And for Gu Huanxi now, the biggest advantage of having such a father is probably that if she shows some insight in the future, she can push it to this father who has more than ten years of travel experience.
There is also an advantage, the original owner learned to read from his father and is not illiterate.
