Chapter 13: Impersonation (7)
Brother Hao, the great name Li Hao, did not squeeze up to see the clothes at this time, his hand was hidden under the placket, and quietly stroked a piece of silk thread, which was used by Guoda Road to kill the giant python, he thought to himself: "What is this clothes? Brother Guo's silk thread is magical! Using this silk thread as a bowstring can definitely make a treasure bow!"
Li Ruhai coughed and said, "No matter whether the children of the Guo family have lived a hard life or a good life for more than 10 years, it is not something we should speculate about. I only know that the Guo family's child saved Brother Hao'er's life, and he is our family's great benefactor!"
The big girl bit her lip and nodded: "Dad, I know what to do." As he spoke, he picked up his clothes and went back to the room where he slept with the second and third girls, lit the oil lamp, and began to get busy.
Li Ruhai said to Brother Hao: "Your brother Guo has just come back, there must be a lot of things at home, don't mess around these days, go to Guo's house to do a favor." Hmph, this time you haven't settled the account of the Divine Mountain with you, if you dare to be blind in the Guo family, I will calculate the two accounts together and break your legs!"
Li Hao's heart blossomed, even if his father didn't say it, he would find an excuse to run to Guo's house - the silk thread in his hand was too short, and he wanted to ask for more magical silk thread from Brother Guo.
Early the next morning, the eldest girl who hadn't slept all night, with a coarse linen baggage, walked to Guo's house with Brother Hao.
Guo's house is relatively remote, and it takes a big circle to get there along the foot of the mountain, Li Hao walked in front and suddenly shouted: "What person?!"
An arrow stepped over, and the big girl was startled: "What's wrong?"
Li Hao didn't reply: "I just saw a woman in white enter the door of Brother Guo's house, that woman is not from our village!"
The eldest girl hurriedly said: "Don't be reckless, the Guo family has two grandfathers and one woman, can you still harm them?" Maybe it's a relative who lives in another village?"
Li Hao said: "Where does Uncle Guo have any other relatives?" That being said, the pace slowed down.
At this time, the two had already come to the Guo family, and the eldest girl was afraid that her younger brother would mess around again, so she grabbed in front of Li Hao and stepped forward to call the door: "Brother Guo, I am the eldest girl of the Li family, and I have sent you clothes." ”
The door opened with a bang, and Guo Dalu rubbed his eyes and greeted him: "Ah, that big girl, thank you." Hey, Brother Hao, are you here too?"
Li Hao stretched his neck and looked into the house: "Brother Guo, do you have relatives coming to the door?"
Guoda Lu was stunned: "Relatives?
Li Hao said quickly: "I just saw a woman enter your house--" His voice paused, in the small dilapidated house, a bed, a table, a chair and a stove, where did the woman come from?
The big girl glanced at Li Hao next to her - it must be that this guy saw the wrong eye, she hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Brother Guo, this is your clothes, I have helped you mend them, my needlework is rough, Brother Guo don't laugh at me." ”
This is the first time that someone has mended his clothes, to be honest, even if he is an orphan, the clothes are broken and not repaired, they are all directly replaced with new clothes, there are a large number of clothes sent by well-wishers in the orphanage, many of these clothes have been worn two or three times, and they are very new.
Guo Dalu noticed the girl's red eyes, guessed that she must have stayed up late to mend her clothes, and thanked her sincerely, took the package, opened it, and found that there were two clothes inside, one was her own "Baijia clothes" made of modern fabric, and the other was brand new, clothes made of linen.
Guoda Lu was stunned: "This dress--"
The big girl said: "I see that Brother Guo's clothes don't fit well, so I made one with the ready-made materials at home, Brother Guo tried it, it doesn't fit, where it doesn't fit, I'll take it and change it." ”
Wow, it's amazing, you can actually make a piece of clothing by hand in one night, this is an ancient time without a sewing machine.
Guoda Road didn't know what to say, and after eating for a long time, Li Hao said beside him: "Brother Guo, you hurry up and change your clothes, my eldest sister's needlework is a must in the village, and this dress must fit." ”
Guoda Lu turned to the corner of the room behind the bed, changed his clothes, and looked down, heh, it really fits well, and it is much more comfortable to wear than the clothes that he has crooked and patched together.
This girl is really amazing, and I haven't seen her measure her body with a ruler, but she just looked at herself a few times in the dark last night, and she was able to make a close-fitting dress.
After Guo Dalu changed his clothes, he wanted to thank the eldest girl again, but the eldest girl smiled and said: "Brother Guo, you are my brother's life-saving benefactor, a piece of clothing, you have to thank you again, but it is a part of life." ”
Guoda Lu scratched his head, and suddenly clapped his hands: "I have some candy here, you can bring it to your sisters." As he spoke, he wrapped some things in the burlap cloth that the big girl wrapped her clothes and stuffed it into the big girl.
The big girl took the package generously, and seeing that Guo Jin was still asleep, she said goodbye and left first.
When the eldest girl returned home, in front of Li Ruhai and Chen's and several younger sisters, she opened the package, and in the package, there were some small grains wrapped in strange colorful paper, and a white rabbit was printed on the paper.
Chen Shiqi said: "What is this?"
The big girl said: "Brother Guo gave it, and it was sugar." ”
The second girl is fast, peel off the paper, and the bones inside?? Rolling out of something, the second girl sighed: "Where is this sugar." The eldest brother of the Guo family deceives people, even if the brown sugar is lumpy, it is not like this. ”
Chen Shi looked at the object carefully: "Isn't this maltose?"
Sanniu said, "Don't you know if you taste it?" grabbed the candy and stuffed it into her mouth.
Chen couldn't cry or laugh: "Sanniu, you are gluttonous, you don't know anything, just stuff it into your mouth." ”
Sanniu made a grimace: "What Brother Guo sent, is it still poison, ouch--" Her face suddenly showed a strange look.
The big girl was shocked: "Spit it out, let you eat indiscriminately--"
Sanniu looked intoxicated: "Sweet, so sweet, my mother, this is much better than brown sugar." Ah, how did this sugar become soft again, well, soft, more delicious. ”
The little sister was already drooling greedily next to her, and when she saw Sanniu's enjoyment, she couldn't wait to grab a piece of candy, peel off the paper outside, and stuff it into her mouth, suddenly full of sweetness and fragrance, and a strong milk smell.
It's rare for a little sister to eat sweets, and the brown sugar at home can only be eaten when she is sick, and she usually looks for some reed roots by the river, and she is in a hurry to eat, and she coughs suddenly.
The eldest girl glanced at the three girls and gently patted the younger sister's back: "Eat slowly, my share will be given to you too." ”
Although the younger sister is small, she is sensible and shook her head: "Eldest sister, you can eat it too, it's really sweet." ”
The eldest girl looked at Li Ruhai, and Li Ruhai said: "This is given to you by the Guo family's brother, you can dispose of it yourself." ”
As soon as the eldest girl stretched out her hand, she slapped away the hand that Sanniu stretched out to the sugar again, and said to Li Ruhai: "Dad, this sugar looks like a rare thing, or let's leave this candy and wait for a few days when the town opens the three cities, send it to the town for some money and buy some rice and noodles to go home?"
Hearing that the eldest girl wanted to exchange sugar for money, several children were full of frustration on their faces, especially the always honest second girl, her father and mother didn't speak, she didn't dare to grab the candy to eat, and then she regretted it and swallowed her saliva.
Li Ruhai thought about it, looked at the thin little faces of his daughters, his heart was full of heartache, the family was really poor, and he didn't even have a small amount of money to buy snacks for the children, he sighed: "Dad is useless, I want to rob you babies of sugar." It's just that the growth of kudzu grass is not good this year, and when I come to see the goods at the end of the year, I have to be reprimanded again, and the rations sent out will have to be deducted seven or eight times. The harvest of the few thin plots of land in the mountains behind our own house is not good, and the wild boars in the Fengshen Mountain have eaten and shaved a lot. If you follow the idea of the big girl, you can exchange sugar for some living money, and bring some rice and noodles, and the children can also eat a round belly during the New Year. ”
After listening to Li Ruhai's words, Sanniu regretted a little, she didn't know how many rice noodles she had eaten in one bite, and the little sister cried even more: "Dad, I shouldn't be gluttonous." ”
Chen's eyes were red, and he hugged his sister and patted him: "Don't cry, don't cry, just eat the candy, so let's do it, the children in the family will have one candy each, and the rest will be sold in the town." ”
Erniu smiled happily, worried that her mother would regret it, so she hurriedly took a grain of sugar, peeled the candy paper, thought about it, bit half of it, and stuffed half of it into Chen's hand: "Mother, you eat it too." ”
Chen pushed it back again: "My mother's mouth is not good, and I can't eat sweets." ”
Sanniu stared at the half of the candy: "Second sister, don't eat it, give it to me." ”
The second girl glared at the third girl, and took the candy paper to wrap the half of the candy again: "I'll leave it for Brother Hao to eat." ”
