Chapter 7 The Honest Man

On the second day, dawn appeared.

Gu Chunzhu woke up, opened his eyes to see An An and Xiao Cheng sleeping beside him, and was a little surprised.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked carefully at the beautiful sleeping faces of the two children. Her cheeks were flushed like an apple, and she breathed evenly. The two brothers and sisters were sleeping on their sides with their arms pressed against under the head.

Last night, Gu Chunzhu slept on the side of the wall, Su Wangqin slept on the outside, and the two children slept in the middle, which made Gu Chunzhu feel relieved.

What about others? Gu Chunzhu looked around, but did not see Su Wangqin. There seemed to be no one on the outside of the bed, but a pillow was carefully placed to prevent the child from falling out of the bed.

Gu Chunzhu carefully got up from the bed and put on his clothes.

She opened the door and heard movement from the stove. She walked over and took a look. Su Wangqin was sitting in front of the stove, filling the stove with firewood with a serious face.

You wake up, I cooked porridge, you can eat it first. When the children wake up, you can take care of them. I will go to the town and sell the prey first.

Su Wangqin stood up from the front of the stove, and his face was bright red against the fire in the stove. He stood up and shook the firewood scraps on his body.

Okay. Gu Chunzhu looked at Su Wangqin.

Seeing his appearance with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looks good. Compared with the two delicate children of An An and Xiao Cheng, he is still a lot worse. Maybe the child's biological mother is more beautiful.

While Gu Chunzhu was pondering, Su Wangqin had already walked over and brought up the prey placed at Gu Chunzhu's feet.

A blood-stained golden pheasant has lost its vigor, and three rabbits tied with hemp ropes are also a little sluggish.

Su Wangqin was about to leave when Gu Chunzhu stopped him, Hey, wait a minute.

He turned his head and looked at Gu Chunzhu puzzled. The latter took the cloth bag containing brown rice out of the basket and handed the worn basket to Su Wangqin, This is what the owner of the rice shop asked for when buying brown rice. The prey is put there and covered with a cloth, so as not to be seen and make irresponsible remarks.

Okay. Su Wangqin agreed.

He put the basket on his back and walked outside.

Gu Chunzhu looked at Su Wangqin's back, and didn't know how much these things could sell for. Seeing the enthusiasm of the two children eating meat buns yesterday, he really hoped that the family would have a better life.

After Su Wangqin left for a while, the two children woke up one after another. Gu Chunzhu ate brown rice porridge for the two of them, and Xiao Cheng took Xiao An to play outside.

Gu Chunzhu moved a wooden pier and sat at the door of the house, watching the rising sun, thinking about what she could do to make money, but she didn't think of a method, but her stomach growled again.

In the morning, she drank half a bowl of porridge, and she was hungry in the blink of an eye. Gu Chunzhu couldn't help but angrily hammered her bulging belly. come down!

Mother-- An An dragged the milky sound and trotted over.

Oh, why didn't An An go outside to play? Gu Chunzhu hugged An An who rushed over.

An An still looked at Gu Chunzhu timidly with her small eyes. Gu Chunzhu's closeness to her made her more courageous. She snuggled up to Gu Chunzhu's leg and said, Sister Xiaohua said that An An has bugs on her head, so she won't play with me.

Gu Chunzhu looked at An An's messy hair, which was really dirty. She also smelled the stench when she slept last night. It's not good for the physical and mental development of a child who is always rejected by playmates.

Gu Chunzhu thought for a while and said, Well, my mother will comb it for you first, and when the sun is up at noon, she will wash An An's hair, and then braid you a little braid, will you wear flowers?

Okay! An An replied obediently.

Gu Chunzhu took out a mahogany comb with three broken teeth that she brought from her mother's family from the mahogany box. She held An An on her lap and combed it slowly with the mahogany comb.

It was a laborious job to comb the messy hair. Gu Chunzhu used the greatest patience in his life and spent an hour to comb An An's hair.

This is what Su Wangqin saw when he came back.

The daughter was held on his daughter-in-law's lap, and Gu Chunzhu brushed An'an's hair with smooth brows.

I'm back. Su Wangqin came over with a basket on his back.

Gu Chunzhu put down An An and watched Su Wangqin take off the basket in front of her. Her eyes flickered a few times and she asked, How much money did you get?

It's winter, and there are not many prey. These three are sold for only one hundred and forty cents. Su Wangqin's eyes were disappointed, and all he could see was An An's thin clothes.

Only one hundred and forty cents? Gu Chunzhu couldn't help but exclaimed.

Su Wangqin was a little angry, the woman thought he could not hide the money.

Gu Chunzhu stood up and said to himself, A raw chicken is fifteen cents a catty, a hen is a little more expensive at eighteen cents a catty, and pork is also ten cents a catty. Your golden pheasant last night also weighed a catty, two The rabbit also weighs six or seven kilograms, and the price of this game is slightly more expensive, and the rabbit fur is also worth a little money, so there is not even two coins?

I sold it directly to the only restaurant in the town, only there to receive it. Su Wangqin shook his head, thinking that this woman was much smarter than him.

Take me with you next time.

Now, even if Gu Chunzhu said more, it would be useless, that's all he could say.

Okay. Su Wangqin agreed.

Gu Chunzhu saw that what he said the most that day was OK, but he seemed like an honest person. No wonder he was tricked. She sighed in her heart.

Su Wangqin hugged An An, bumped into her and asked, What did you eat in the morning?

An An ate the white-flour steamed buns, half of them with my brother, but my mother didn't eat it. There was also sweet porridge, and my mother put sugar. An An nestled in Su Wangqin's arms, each mouthful of mother.

The corners of Gu Chunzhu's lips curled up unconsciously, this Su Wangqin was afraid that he would not treat his children badly.

At this time, a familiar figure came not far away.

Boss... Mrs. Su waved her arms from afar, and her feet moved much faster.

Mother, why are you here? Su Wangqin frowned.

Mrs. Su walked up to Su Wangqin, poked him in the chest, and said dissatisfiedly, I've been holding a little girl like a baby all day long, it's still the son born by my mother, and my mother still hates it when she comes, right? What did you hit in the mountains this time, the mother's mouth has faded out.

Gu Chunzhu knew what Mrs. Su meant. She had seen this old lady's turbulent energy. She walked over and took An An from Su Wangqin's hand.

She took a deep look at Su Wangqin, stared at him and said, Yesterday, my mother came to ask for filial piety, and almost took away a few cold sweet potatoes from our family. Our family's life is so difficult, I hope my mother will be more lenient with this filial piety. For a few months, otherwise how will the two babies survive this winter?
