Aunt Wang heard her husband's confident tone, as if he had known her son's thoughts for a long time.
"Little Gu is so smart, why do you think he can't see it?"
Uncle Lin: "Your son is too early to understand, and Little Gu is not yet."
What can she expect from a person who is not yet emotionally enlightened?
Aunt Wang felt even more distressed for her son after hearing this, and could imagine how her son would feel when he was heartbroken in the future.
"By the way, the Li guy next door hasn't opened his shop for several days. I was planning to go and settle accounts with him. He dared to hit our son. He really bullied our family because there was no one!" When she mentioned
this, she got angry. She went back to her hometown with her husband in the countryside for the past two days. When she came back and learned about this, she took her husband to settle accounts with the neighbor, but the neighbor hadn't opened his shop until now and was hiding!
The two of them are almost a hundred people in total. It's really shameless to bully two children like this. Before, because they were on the same street, they were given discounts when buying dumplings. How come they didn't choke to death?
Uncle Lin smiled and said, "Don't think about it. I came back from the market last night and heard from the vegetable seller Old Wu that the man surnamed Li broke his arm when he came back a few nights ago and was struck by lightning. He is still staying in the hospital in our town and will probably be out for more than a month."
"The man surnamed Li was struck by lightning!"
The voice was very loud. Gu Xingzhao and Lin Ting in the living room paused and looked over.
Aunt Wang almost laughed out loud at her husband's words, "It's really retribution. Even God can't stand it."
Being struck by lightning during a drought, what else is it but retribution?
...
On New Year's Eve, Gu Xingzhao was called by Lu to his home for a New Year's Eve dinner. Lu was the chef and also called those who stayed on duty and didn't go home for the New Year. The
two young policemen who came to Gu Xingzhao's supermarket that day also came. One was called Du Zi and the tall one was called He Zhang.
The two were a little embarrassed to see Gu Xingzhao there.
Soon, when they were playing together, they talked about everything and laughed when they talked about what happened that day.
He Zhang: "It's strange, he fell down suddenly, and was struck by lightning."
Gu Xingzhao laughed, "Maybe it's like this when people are unlucky, even drinking water can get stuck in their teeth."
Du Zi looked at Gu Xingzhao twice more, he remembered that day in the surveillance, Gu Xingzhao said something about being struck by lightning... Could it be a crow's mouth?
In the kitchen, Lu Suo coughed for a while, and the people next to him hurried to help, "Lu Suo, you have been coughing for more than half a year, find time to go to the hospital."
Lu Suo waved his hands repeatedly, "It's just an old problem, it's not a big deal."
But when he spread out his hands, there was a pool of blood on his palms, which scared Sister Li!
"Why is he coughing up blood again! Go to the hospital quickly..."
"It's okay, it's like this after coughing for a long time. It's the New Year, and it's rare for Xiao Gu to come to eat. Don't let her know about this, so she won't worry."
"I know my body, it's nothing serious, I'll go to the hospital to get some medicine later."
Sister Li wanted to say something, but Lu Suo insisted, and she couldn't say anything else.
The New Year's Eve dinner was rich, most of which were Gu Xingzhao's favorites. Lu picked up dishes for her from time to time, "Eat more. I can see that you didn't eat well at home. You look so thin."
The bowl was full of dishes. Gu Xingzhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Eat yourself too, don't just focus on me."
Du Zi and He Zhang listened to this and looked at Gu Xingzhao a few more times, thinking: Lu's eyesight is probably not very good, he doesn't look that thin. After
eating the New Year's Eve dinner that night, the group left the Lu family. When he got home, it was almost eight o'clock.
Gu Xingzhao hurriedly took out the dumplings from the refrigerator, and boiled them in boiling water according to Aunt Wang's instructions.
There were nearly two hundred dumplings, which looked a lot, but could be divided among more than twenty people. In fact, each person could only eat six or seven.
At this time in ancient times, the exile team finally arrived at Laiyuan Town, stayed in the town, and put on the cotton clothes that the government had kindly prepared for the exile team in the north. Although they were not thick, they were at least more comfortable than the thin prison clothes on their bodies. But
even with clothes to wear, they could only eat hard rough cakes at night.
Some people wanted to have a good meal, after all, it was New Year's Eve, so they took the only valuable things they had to honor the officials, and finally barely got a few bowls of hot porridge, but they also made others jealous. In
such a cold day, who doesn't want to eat something hot?
Lu Qing took out the only two pairs of earrings left, wondering whether he should take them out and exchange them for some hot porridge for everyone... After all, it was New Year's Day.
The Song family members also saw it, staring at the two pairs of earrings. It was so cold, and they all wanted to have a bowl of hot drink, but those were the only valuable things they had. If they took them out, they would be gone. At
this time of year in previous years, the whole family would be in the mansion, wearing fox furs and eating New Year's Eve dinner. They had never been cold and hungry outside like now.
The more they thought about the past, the more uncomfortable they felt in their hearts, and they didn't know what the future would be like.
Lu Qing clenched his hands. It was okay. After all, it was New Year's Day, so let the children have a good meal.
At this time, Gu Xingzhao came with hot dumplings. Seeing that the prisoners were being guarded separately as before in the village, the gatekeepers were busy drinking, and once the door was locked, they had no time to deal with the prisoners.
She simply brought disposable bowls and chopsticks and instant noodles so that the Lu family could have a good meal tonight.
She moved a large pot of dumplings and placed it on the ground, along with a box of instant noodles. Gu Xingzhao was so tired that she was panting. The system mall did have a one-click transfer function, but it cost money, and she was reluctant to spend it.
If she could do it herself, why spend money? She would save as much as possible. What she, Gu Xingzhao, lacked the least was physical strength!
Gu Xingzhao was so busy that she was sweating profusely. She put her hands on her hips and looked at the Lu family in the room, some of the Liu family, and even Princess Shunyu.
Lu Xingyao had the most sensitive nose. He took a few deep sniffs and seemed to smell the aroma of food!
His eyes lit up. Could it be that his charming and great ancestor had come?
He looked around, but didn't see any food.
Gu Xingzhao smiled and waited for more people to smell the aroma. He thought: Disciples and grandchildren, come and greet your ancestor.
Soon, everyone else in the room smelled it, and they all looked around, and finally even Lu Qing smelled it.
Gu Xingzhao then showed the food in the corner. The first person to see it was Lu Xingyao. It was a big pot full of dumplings, still steaming.
He rubbed his eyes fiercely. It was real!
The Lu family members nearby also saw it. After all, it was hard not to see such a big pot. But they didn't dare to be too loud and surrounded the pot for fear of being discovered by the Liu family. Lu Qing
was dumbfounded...
Gu Xingzhao: "Tonight is New Year's Eve, I'll give you some food, so you can have a good year."
Her tone was flat, but to Lu Qing, it was the sound of nature. Sending charcoal
in the snow is always more touching than adding icing on the cake. Lu Qing's eyes were red, and he didn't know which direction Gu Xingzhao was. He knelt on the ground with a cane, kowtowed heavily towards the door, and tears streamed down his face.
Other members of the family followed suit and knelt together, their hearts full of awe and gratitude...
It was suddenly put on the shelf, catching them off guard... I wonder if anyone is still watching?
