Chapter 198: Life is hard and comes to the door to ask for food
If it wasn't forced to a certain extent, how could the sister-in-law's family come to the door and cry.
Glancing at the rice, flour, fruits and vegetables piled up in the house, Gu Jin turned around and left with two bottles of wine and malt milk essence in his hand, and walked towards the front hall.
He and An Mingji came to the living room on their front and back feet.
In the house sat grandfather, uncle, aunt, and sister-in-law and brother-in-law's family.
Gu Jiajie also led Gu Minmin and Xia Jinlei to stand aside.
When she saw Gu Jin, Gu Qiuzhen's eyes flashed with amazement, and the girl looked very good-looking.
She looked at Gu Jin with red eyes, and a reluctant smile on her face: "This is Xiao Jin, she has grown into a big girl in a blink of an eye." ”
Gu Jin smiled and shouted, "Sister-in-law." ”
"Oh! ”
Gu Qiuzhen didn't expect Gu Jin, who had always been silent, to shout so happily.
She stood up and tried to get something for her, but when she found that she had brought nothing with her when she came home this time, she took it out of her pocket and took out a two-dollar piece.
She took two yuan, walked up to Gu Jin and was about to stuff it for her: "You take it and buy snacks to eat." ”
Gu Jin refused with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I'm an adult, so let's keep it for my cousin to buy snacks to eat." ”
Hearing her mention her son, Gu Qiuzhen looked at Xia Jinlei, who was standing not far away, holding calcium milk and biscuits, and her eyes became redder.
When the old man sitting on the top saw that his daughter was about to cry again, he opened his mouth and scolded: "Okay! Don't cry, you know what the use of crying and crying is, and what you can't do." ”
Hearing the old man's scolding, the tears in Gu Qiuzhen's eyes didn't dare to fall after all.
Seeing that Gu Jin didn't accept the money, she returned to her seat with two yuan and hung her head silently.
Gu Jin looked at the brother-in-law who was sitting next to his sister-in-law.
My uncle is a very strong person, but his temperament is quite gentle, as if he is in a factory with his sister-in-law, and he is still a team leader.
The old man was also staring at Xia Hongguo and asked, "Hongguo, what do you mean?"
Xia Hongguo exuded a gloomy aura all over his body, he first glanced at Gu Dechang and Chen Hong, who were sitting not far from the old man, and saw that there was no rejection and ridicule on their faces, so he spoke slowly: "The prices in the county are too high, and the food is also ridiculously high, and I can't stand Qiu Zhen's wages, so I want to come to the village to see if there is any food to buy some back, and then I will carry this for a while." ”
Old man Gu took a puff of dry tobacco, "This year, it has rained heavily for a month, and all the crops in the field have been ruined, and the people in the village have no food to eat. ”
Although they knew that there was little hope, after hearing the old man's words, Xia Hongguo and Gu Qiuzhen still showed obvious disappointment and hardship on their faces.
"How do you spend this day......"
Gu Qiuzhen thought of the difficulties in the future, sat on the stool and began to wipe her tears again.
The old man smoked a dry cigarette and looked at his only daughter after all, but he didn't show the slightest on his face.
Glancing at the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law beside him, he sighed softly.
Gu Dechang heard the old man sigh, he raised his head and said: "Dad, there is still a surplus of rice and white flour at home, it is better to let the little sister and brother-in-law move some, we can go to the mountains to find some food after we return to the mountains." ”
Chen Hong's face changed when she heard this, and when she saw Gu Jin standing in the room, she didn't speak, she silently lowered her head.
Hearing that there was rice and white flour, Xia Hongguo and Gu Qiuzhen's faces turned to surprise, but then they showed bitterness again.
