Pastoral Jiaoyi's mother and father are here

Chapter 3
Gu Xiangsi went to the kitchen of the adobe house and wanted to cook!There is not even a match, and the flint can't catch fire no matter what.

Baozhu stood at the door all the time, seeing that A Niang couldn't light the fire, she supported the door frame with one hand, raised her short legs and stepped over the high threshold, walked in, came to A Niang, took the flint in A Niang's hand, Squatting at the fire of the stove, holding flint and fire knife in two small hands, rubbed it a few times, and lit the fire.

Gu Xiangsi looked at the children around her, and at the stove belly covered with withered grass, she stuffed some firewood into the stove belly, looked at the burning flame, and sighed sadly: "Baby, isn't mother very useless? Can't even start a fire."

Baozhu squatted aside, looking at this somewhat pitiful A-Niang, she reached out and grabbed A-Nang's sleeve, and smiled at A-Nang: "A-Niang, she is the best A-Niang."

Looking at this sensible child, Gu Xiangsi suddenly thought of the original owner. Although she took good care of the child, she was a bit indifferent. She had always been taciturn and never had any communication with this child.

On the contrary, the original owner's adoptive mother is a very strong and capable woman. Baozhu can be so sensible, thanks to her teaching Baozhu since she was a child.

Alas!Good people don't live long, and the old couple treated others generously all their lives, but they failed to teach their children well.

The unkindness and filial piety of the sons and daughters made them old and helpless, and they were extremely miserable after death.

It is said that human nature is inherently good.But in Gu Xiangsi's view, some people are born with evil hidden in their nature.

They cooked some miscellaneous grain porridge casually, pasted a few sheets of sorghum flour pancakes, and went to the vegetable tank to get some sauerkraut pickled from wild vegetables. The two of them had a makeshift meal.

It's not that she doesn't want to cook something delicious, it's just that there is no oil and salt in the house, and there are not many grains and noodles.

The herbal medicine that was dried outside was damaged by the rain last night, so it can't be exchanged for money.

This year it was flooded again, so I don't know how much soybeans can be harvested by soaking them in the ground!
When the old lady passed away, a thin coffin and a simple funeral almost spent all the savings of their mother and daughter over the years.

Now that there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, I really don't know how to get something to make ends meet next.

Baozhu is not picky about food, and does not dislike anything.

Gu Xiangsi looked at the dark and thin child, and it can be seen how difficult it was for the original owner and the old lady.There is no one in the family who has meat. To save money, you have to pay off the debts, and you have to save some backup in case of accidents.

After dinner, Gu Xiangsi went to have a look in the field, but Bao Zhu insisted on following her, so she took her with her and locked all the doors to the house and courtyard.

The pack of wolves had just arrived today, and she was worried about leaving the child alone at home.

After going out, after walking not far, she looked at the field with a depth of seven or eight inches of water from a distance, and she really wanted to cry.

The original owner and the old lady lived at the western end of the village. Behind the house, a clear stream circled to the west of the house, flowing in a Z shape to two green hills not far away.

The green hills are in the west, and it does not affect the growth of crops in the fields in the village.

Their family's field is just 50 meters away from the house, which is only ten acres of land.

In ancient times when there were few people and a lot of land, their family's ten mu of land was definitely the least they had.

But their family has no labor, only two women, and the ten mu of land is cultivated, which is also exhausted by people who are tired every season.

"Xiangsi, why did you come out with the orb in your arms?" A woman came with her husband and son, dressed very cleanly, and it was obvious that she had just returned to the village after going out.

Gu Xiangsi remembered this Aunt Wu, Yang Baihua, who had always taken good care of the original owner and the old lady. During the busy farming season, if their family finished the farm work, she would always come to help their family harvest the crops.

"Grandpa Wu, Grandma Wu, Uncle Shuanzi." Baozhu held Auntie's hand, looked at Aunt Wu's family and smiled, her black eyes curved into a smile, showing her love for their family .

Wu Bing and Yang Baihua came with their son Wu Shuan, and seeing that their mother and daughter were fine, their family was relieved.

Yang Baihua walked over, put one hand on Gu Xiangsi's shoulder, looked at Baozhu, sighed and said to Gu Xiangsi: "It's because my mother's family has something to do, and I went out for a trip, so I couldn't help you stop those wolves. Alas! What a crime! The old ladies have all passed away, so it’s fine if they don’t show their last filial piety, how can they still have face... Sigh!"

"Auntie, don't be angry with this kind of person. If they dare to come here again, I will let them see if I am a soft persimmon that is easy to handle, or a thorny scorpion. ears." When Gu Xiangsi said this, there was a smile on her lips, but her eyes became extremely cold.

Yang Baihua turned her head and looked at Wu Bing, then turned her head worriedly to look at the changed Gu Xiangsi and said, "Xiangsi, you are..."

Gu Xiangsi had figured out how to explain her drastic personality change early in the morning, she lowered her head, looked at the orb in her hand, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, mother is gone, if I don't become strong, what will I do with the orb? If you are a mother, you are strong! Whoever dares to bully my child, I will definitely fight him desperately. My aunt is also a mother, so she should understand lovesickness... the heart of protecting the calf."

"Of course my aunt understands. If anyone dares to hurt Shuanzi now, my aunt will risk her life to fight with them." Yang Baihua held Gu Xiangsi's hand, her eyes were full of respect for their orphans and widows. Distressed.

Wu Bing looked at Gu Xiangsi and asked, "Xiangsi, you brought the orb out to collect soybeans?"

"Yeah, I have been guarding the spirit for my mother these few days, and I missed the good day before. Taking advantage of the lack of rain today, I want to see how many soybeans I can save, and how many things I have to get home, so that our mother and daughter It won't starve to death." Gu Xiangsi looked at Wu Bing and said.

"That's right, you and your aunt first go to the field and wait, and Shuanzi and I will go home and change our clothes, and prepare some things to help you get the soybeans out of the field first, so that we can plow the land and sow wheat later. As Wu Bing said, he and his son Shuanzi turned around and walked eastward.

Yang Baihua accompanied their mother and daughter to the field. Standing on the ridge and looking at the sparse soybeans, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Why do these soybeans seem to be missing? Did someone steal your soybeans?"

Although the Acacia family only has ten acres of land, this is a fertile field, and the crops grow very well every year. When the old lady was alive, the mother and wife were diligent, and there were very few weeds in the field, and the crops were getting better and better. Strong and good harvest.

But this year's soybeans are much less than what she saw a few days ago.

Gu Xiangsi turned her head to look at the field next door. The soybeans had been harvested a long time ago, and now the field is a piece of bare black soil.

Following her gaze, Yang Baihua couldn't help frowning and gritted his teeth, saying: "This family is really vicious, usually it's just a matter of taking advantage of the bosses in the field, but now it's... Acacia, what do you think should be done about this?"

"Evil will be rewarded with evil, and if you don't repay, it's just that the time has not yet come." Gu Xiangsi smiled lightly, looked away, and looked at her field. She was thinking about what to do with these soaked soybeans.

　In ancient times, after a woman married, she took her husband's surname. In the countryside, she was a sister-in-law or aunt of a certain family, and no one would say the other party's boudoir or maiden name.Update time, six o'clock in the morning, okay^3^
