Ann sat down on Gu Chunzhu's knees after being coaxed. She watched the big cock and hen peck the little rock on the ground and ate. She was happy to see it and clap her hands.

Sister-in-law Fu came from next door and held a bowl of steamed pumpkin in her hand.

“Ann Xiao, look what Dazhuang brought you. She just spilled sweet and sweet.” Sister-in-law Fu came over and stuffed the steamed pumpkin into Ann's little hand and sat on the pier.

She knocked on her leg and said: “Last night I was busy all night, this morning I sent some old relatives back, and Dafu's aunts were fine after they left. ”

Gu Chunzhu looked at Ann and steamed the pumpkin. She grabbed a small piece and put it in her little hand for her to taste. She was still sick and she didn't dare to eat more of this food.

“It's the sixth day of the year.” Gu Chunzhu was also emotional, and the time passed quickly. This year really didn't go very well.

“Why didn't you put up a pair? I brought you a pair last time!” Sister-in-law Fu looked at the two bald hairy bamboo poles at their door and patted Gu Chunzhu's arm lightly: “Put them on, put them on, get rid of the bad luck. You're all lucky! ”

“Hey!” Gu Chunzhu answered and asked Ann to hold Fu for a while.

When she saw Ann being held by Sister-in-law Fu without crying, Gu Chunzhu went to the stove room to make rice paste. There was still a little bit of brown rice left at noon. Add some water and boil it again. Thick enough to hold the paper.

It's not cheap for the red and bright ones. It costs ten cents a pair of money. It was taken out in a flash a year ago. Now the shyness of Gu Chunzhu in his bag hurts.

“Receiving wealth, receiving peace, welcoming spring, welcoming riches and prosperity, a lot of luck.” Gu Chunzhu glued it all over and held it together. He climbed onto the stool and Xiaocheng held a bowl of rice paste underneath.

Gu Chunzhu brushed the brushes in the confusion and pasted them on both sides of the door. This little thatched house looked a little old.

“Chun Bamboo didn't expect you to still be able to read. Unlike me, I just want to put on a red celebration.” Sister-in-law Fu smiled with her mouth covered. She stared at Yu Big and strong. If she didn't stick to the joke, she could do it.

“I'll buy a red paper called Xiaocheng and Dazhuang and write these words every year.” Gu Chunzhu took Ann back to his arms and nagged Mrs. Fu.

“I don't write well.” Xiaocheng ran into the house with a funny red ear.

“By the way, yesterday I saw your mother-in-law come. Did I mess with you?” Sister-in-law Fu glanced at Gu Chunzhu worried. If she hadn't had guests at home last night, she would have come. At the end of the day, she only saw Old Lady Su leave the yard exasperating.

Gu Chunzhu simply told Sister-in-law Fu about the three taels of silver sent by Old Su and the fact that she was still helping her baby grandson.

Sister-in-law Fu sighed. She reached out and touched Ann twice with Sha Bai's little face. “The family has a difficult memorial, which is to pity our little Ann suffers. ”

After Ann ate the pumpkin, Gu Chunzhu wiped her mouth. The winter sun was warm and she wanted to sleep. She arched her eyes towards Gu Chunzhu's arms. Gu Chunzhu wrapped her tightly in her arms, like a lost baby.

She still had the color of happiness on her face, and she didn't think about bad things anymore. “Luckily I found it back. Ann Ann forgot about it after she was a year and a half old. ”

“Yes, but...” Sister-in-law Fu hesitated and said, "I talked to Dafu about finding a house in town in the next few days, along with his carpenter's family. ”

“Congratulations, sister-in-law.” Gu Chunzhu hid the loneliness in his eyes. He should have followed us to find a house. Now...

Fifty taels of silver has been delivered and almost twenty taels of debt owed. It's even harder to buy a house!

“Chunzhu, don't be discouraged, just the two of you are so diligent and smart, the money for a house will definitely be earned this year.” Sister-in-law Fu is sure of her tone.

She rubbed her hand and clamped her hands between her knees. "If she wasn't strong, she'd be starting school soon. He lived with his father in the worker's room. No one cooked hot meals. This time it was too far away in the village. ”

“Yes!” Gu Chunzhu nodded.

After speaking to their sons for a while, Sister Fu was summoned back by the old man. It turns out that her elderly grandmother came in a cow cart.

Gu Chunzhu looked at the sun and it was not as good as noon. The surrounding area also began to cool off. Gu Chunzhu took his sleeping safety into the house and rekindled the charcoal pot.

Xiaocheng wrote on the table in the inner house with a plank and a rabbit leather glove on his hand.

Hanging his arm steadily, Gu Chunzhu looked at him so fond of reading and writing that he couldn't bear to expire. He walked over and patted Xiaocheng's shoulder and took him to the stove.

“After New Year's, she's nine years old.” Gu Chunzhu smoothed the clothes on his little body and rolled the words down his throat several times before saying it.

“Mother, there's no money at home, isn't there? I'm not in a hurry to go to school. I can read at home.” Gu Chunzhu hasn't exited yet, but he did say it first. A pair of phoenix eyes can reflect Gu Chunzhu's difficult face.

Xiaocheng's hand grabbed his pants by his side, but his eyebrows stretched out like he didn't care.

Gu Chunzhu's eyes were already wet. How lucky she was to have such a good pair of children, she could only carry Cheng into her arms and pat him on his thin back.

Xiaocheng buried his head on Gu Chunzhu's shoulder and wept. He couldn't catch his breath, but he bit his lip tightly to keep the cry from overflowing from his mouth.

After waiting for such a long time, how could he not be saddened? Gu Chunzhu understood Xiaocheng's thoughts, but now he owes too much money to go to school.

“Well, if you don't cry, Mother swears she'll send you to school until you've returned the silver outside.” Gu Chunzhu also wiped his eyes with tears, showing a strong and confident side in front of Xiaocheng.

“Hmm!” Little nodded. He believed Gu Chunzhu, very much!

“Go and practice your words, Mama. Make some porridge for your sister.” Gu Chunzhu gently touched Xiaocheng's face.

Xiaocheng went to obey. Gu Chunzhu cut a piece off on the meat and cut it into meat pieces. After frying it in the oil, he boiled it with the washed precision rice. When it was almost ready, he added a little salt.

Anyone who knew Ann was asleep before she woke up, put the porridge in the pot.

Until dark kung fu, Fu sister-in-law cut half a piece of fish dry, brought by Aunt Zhao Dafu's family. She married not far away, her husband was a businessman who often did business on the beach boundary, and lived there.

Dried fish is rare in this small riverhead village. Gu Chunzhu often ate and didn't hang up as a baby in his previous life. When cooking brown rice, he stewed it on rice and added a little soy sauce and it smelled salty.
