There is a girl in the village

"Xiao Jiu, go and squat at the gate of the courtyard. When you see Dad coming back, come and tell Mom." Gu Xiaofu said to Xiao Jiu who was curled up at her feet while she was busy.

"Ahh~"

When Xiao Jiu heard this, she turned around and ran outside. It grew up and always wanted to go out to play, but Gu Xiaofu was afraid that it would go out to bite people, so she locked it in the yard, which suffocated it.It is rare for Gu Xiaofu to let it go to the gate of the courtyard to breathe today, not to mention how happy it is.

On New Year's Eve, every household is busy celebrating the New Year, no matter how poor they are, they will always stay together for a reunion.

In contrast, the Lu family looked extremely cold, Lu Yuanchang was not at home, Gu Xiaofu was the only one left, she got up early today as usual, busy preparing for the New Year, planning the day in her heart, looking forward to Lu Yuanchang's return .

A few days ago, Gu Xiaofu had a miserable life by herself, sweeping the stove and drinking Laba porridge. When she missed Lu Yuanchang, she would cut some window grilles with the word "Fu" and paste them in Lu Yuanchang's study, and the two of them in the bedroom.Sometimes looking at those blessing characters, she would sit blankly for a long time, worrying about Lu Yuanchang's safety in her heart.

Lu Yuanchang has been away for seven days. Ever since Gu Xiaofu came to Lu's house, the two have never been separated for so long. The thoughts accumulated every day are almost breaking Gu Xiaofu. If it is not because of the busy Chinese New Year, Zhenniang asked her to go to Yang's house for dinner and talk from time to time, and she wanted to go to the city to find Lu Yuanchang.

After a busy morning, Gu Xiaofu put the prepared sacrifices on the table in the hall, including fish and meat, chicken and sheep, four kinds of fruits, four kinds of vegetables, old wine on the table, and chemical treasures under the table Basin, light candles, respectfully kowtow to Nian Bodhisattva, and pray for smooth sailing in the coming year.

After everything was settled, Gu Xiaofu went back to her room and opened a small warehouse, lit incense, knelt respectfully in front of Lu Yuanchang's parents tablet, and said: "Father, I know this name is inappropriate, but in my heart , Da Lang is the husband of the slave family, Da Lang's parents are the parents of the slave family, today is the New Year's Eve, and the slave family pays New Year's greetings to the two elders on behalf of Da Lang, and the parents are in the sky, I want to bless Da Lang to return safely."

After finishing all the work, Gu Xiaofu went to the kitchen to cook New Year's Eve dinner for Lu Yuanchang. Lu Yuanchang once told her that she used to go to Yang's house to celebrate the New Year. Although Yang's house is nice, it is not her home after all. , with Gu Xiaofu this year, she really wants to celebrate the New Year at Lu's house.

The spring rolls that Lu Yuanchang ordered, the barbecue that Lu Yuanchang has always liked, and the cold salad that Lu Yuanchang likes recently, Gu Xiaofu spent a lot of time making it, but when the dishes were all served, it was getting dark , Lu Yuanchang has not yet appeared.

After a busy day, Gu Xiaofu sat quietly in the living room, staring at the door, Xiao Jiu had already gotten impatient waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and gnawed at Gu Xiaofu's feet.

"Xiao Jiu, do you think Dad will come back tonight?" Gu Xiaofu asked with some disappointment.

Xiao Jiu tilted her head, her black eyes glowed with candlelight, she abandoned her favorite fleshy bones, and stood upright on Gu Xiaofu's lap, her little tongue kept licking Gu Xiaofu's hand, comforting her.

"Xiao Jiu, do you think daddy doesn't want our mother and daughter anymore?" Gu Xiaofu felt Xiao Jiu's caring, and said stupidly.

"Ahh~"

There was a trace of sadness in Xiaojiu's eyes. Although Lu Yuanchang was very cruel to it, it also missed Lu Yuanchang. With her, Gu Xiaofu would be happy, and this family would be like a home.

Gu Xiaofu hugged Xiaojiu and waited quietly in the candlelit hall. In the darkness, her thin figure looked so fragile, but outside the courtyard, there were firecrackers and the children's worry-free Carefree laughter.

As time passed by, the disappointment in Gu Xiaofu's heart became more and more intense, as well as unstoppable worries, all of which swept over her.

"Ahh~"

In the silence, Xiao Jiu suddenly broke away from Gu Xiaofu's embrace, and rushed towards the courtyard door like crazy.

"Xiao Jiu, where are you going?" Seeing this, Gu Xiaofu hurriedly got up and chased after Xiao Jiu.

The courtyard door opened, and there was a carriage at the door. When Gu Xiaofu saw the tenants who were traveling with Lu Yuanchang standing in front of the carriage, a strong brilliance suddenly burst out of their dim eyes.

Lu Yuanchang was helped out of the car by Yang Rong. He stood in front of the car and looked at the person who had always been on his mind. Hurry up, but still keep Gu Xiaofu waiting for a long time.

"Fu Niang, I'm back." Lu Yuanchang said shamefully.

Gu Xiaofu casually wiped away the tears that were about to fill her eyes, and showed a beautiful smile, just come back, as long as you come back.

Seeing that Lu Yuanchang returned home safely, Gu Xiaofu's heart was finally relieved. She ignored Lu Yuanchang and only called Xiao Jiu back to the house.

"A Yuan, go and coax her, we've been away for so many days, I'm afraid Fu Niang is in a hurry." Yang Rong said.

"Well, big brother, let's go back quickly, godfather and mother are still waiting for you to celebrate the New Year!" Lu Yuanchang said.

Yang Rong led the grain cart away, and Lu Yuanchang asked the tenants to pull the two carts of dowry into the yard, gave out thick red envelopes for the New Year, and drove them back.

Lu Yuanchang had just returned to the living room when he was rushed back to the room by Gu Xiaofu. Gu Xiaofu came in with hot water, wiped her face, changed out of old clothes, and put on new clothes. With such tenderness, Lu Yuanchang felt very warm in his heart. He hugged Gu Xiaofu and said, "Fu Niang, I miss you so much."

Gu Xiaofu finally returned to this warm embrace, she resisted, but the tears just kept falling.

In the few days when she was free, Gu Xiaofu was reading Lu Yuanchang's letter to her. The letter mentioned the depression in Linchuan City, so Gu Xiaofu knew that something must have happened outside.She was so worried about Lu Yuanchang, because she was afraid that something might happen to her outside, and she waited day after day, suffering every minute and every second. Now, this man finally came back.

"Silly girl, why are you crying for Chinese New Year?" Lu Yuanchang gently wiped away Gu Xiaofu's tears, coaxing her.

"Why are you crying!" Gu Xiaofu turned her head and wiped her tears.

It's really charming, Lu Yuanchang felt distressed and moved when he saw it, she hugged Gu Xiaofu, and kissed him overwhelmingly.

Gu Xiaofu felt Lu Yuanchang's enthusiasm for her, and her heart was extremely warm. She put aside her shyness, stretched out her small tongue to wrap around Lu Yuanchang, and melted the endless thoughts of the past few days into the kiss, sucking the sweetness of this moment with all her strength. Beautiful and happy, his hands couldn't help caressing Lu Yuanchang's chest.

"Ah! It hurts!" Lu Yuanchang's expression changed when Gu Xiaofu touched the wound.

"A Yuan, what's the matter with you?" Gu Xiaofu felt something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to check.

"It's all right, just a little injury." Lu Yuanchang comforted him enduring the pain.

"Let me see, where is the injury?" Gu Xiaofu said anxiously, she knew that Lu Yuanchang was struggling with a back injury, so why did he get injured again.

"It's nothing to look at, it's just a small injury." Lu Yuanchang pulled Gu Xiaofu's hand away and said.

"Then I want to see it too!" Gu Xiaofu still doesn't understand Lu Yuanchang, this person will always report good news but not bad news.

Seeing that Gu Xiaofu was angry, Lu Yuanchang had no choice but to comply with her wishes. When Gu Xiaofu pulled away Lu Yuanchang's skirt, he found a wound on his chest. Perhaps it was the actions of the two of them earlier, and blood had already leaked from the bandage. out.

Gu Xiaofu hurriedly removed the bandage, only to realize that the extremely deep wound was actually facing the heart!

Gu Xiaofu didn't dare to imagine, if it was any deeper, this person might just disappear like this.While shedding tears, Gu Xiaofu neatly re-bandaged Lu Yuanchang with medicine.

"Fu Niang, you wrap it really well, much better than me." Lu Yuanchang cautiously probed, because Gu Xiaofu's face was always tense, and whenever Gu Xiaofu cried or got angry, Lu Yuanchang would take it. She can't help it.

Gu Xiaofu saw that Lu Yuanchang was careful to curry favor with her, so what if she got angry again, this person was the one on top of her heart, and she could only feel sorry for her, so there was no way she could blame her.

"A Yuan, you are hungry, I'll go and heat up the dishes." Gu Xiaofu said, wiping away tears.

"Fu Niang, how about not being angry?" Lu Yuanchang pulled Gu Xiaofu to prevent her from leaving.

"You're a woman, so feel sorry for yourself. It's not good for your health to always be hurt like this." Gu Xiaofu was held in Lu Yuanchang's arms, listening to her strong heartbeat, she said distressedly.

"I'll pay attention in the future, I'm hungry, let's eat."

The two happily had a reunion dinner. For Lu Yuanchang, this real New Year's Eve dinner was so precious. How long has it been since she lived alone, and having a home is equal to having no home? At this moment, she looked at the Yang family and other people in the village with the joy of reunion on her face, but her heart was filled with infinite loneliness.Every time she returned to Lu's house, the house was dark, the kang was cold, and the silence in the house made her want to go crazy.

For a while, she also believed the rumors outside, thinking that she was the lone star of the evil spirit, and she would have to live in such loneliness forever in this life.That night, Gu Xiaofu knocked on the door of Lu's house, and that night, she was not the only one in Lu's house.

Lu Yuanchang looked at the table full of his favorite dishes, and Gu Xiaofu who was sitting next to him serving food for him, the faint smile on Gu Xiaofu's face, Gu Xiaofu's concern for him, just like this Melt into your heart bit by bit.

"Fu Niang, you eat too."

While Gu Xiaofu was busy, she heard something strange in Lu Yuanchang's voice. When she looked up, she realized that Lu Yuanchang's eyes were red. She hurriedly asked, "Ah Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, I just feel so lucky and happy." Lu Yuanchang desperately forced back tears.

"I can only know the taste of happiness when I meet A Yuan." Gu Xiaofu put her little hand into Lu Yuanchang's and said with emotion.

At her most difficult time, Lu Yuanchang held her hand and gave her hope of life. As a woman, Lu Yuanchang sheltered herself from wind and rain and supported her a home.Gu Xiaofu knew that all her happiness was given by Lu Yuanchang, even though she was only a woman.

The two held each other's hands tightly and looked at each other affectionately.

This New Year's Eve dinner was both sad and warm.After dinner, Lu Yuanchang wrote Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers, and accompanied Gu Xiaofu to watch the new year.

The long night is long, and watching the year is extremely difficult.Lu Yuan thought for a while, then found a jewelry box from the dowry cart and gave it to Gu Xiaofu.

Gu Xiaofu opened it to take a look, but it really frightened her.A box full of jewellery, shining brightly under the candlelight, gold and silver, are nothing. Those gemstones that she can't understand are inlaid on various jewellery, looking rich and majestic.

"My wife, do you like it? I specially found it for you. When we get married, you can take it with you and get married in a beautiful way." Lu Yuanchang said proudly, who can marry a girl in these ten miles and eight villages? With so much dowry, who would dare to look down on Gu Xiaofu in the future.

"A Yuan, where did you get the money to buy these?" Gu Xiaofu used to be poor and lived a good life in Lu's house. She was very indifferent to these things. When Lu Yuan left, he only took 30 taels of silver, just this box. Jewelry is probably not enough, let alone the two cars outside.

"This... By the way, I was chosen by General Wang to be his personal soldier, and he rewarded me with money." Lu Yuanchang stammered, how dare she tell Gu Xiaofu about Wang Min.

"General? You're going to be a soldier!" Gu Xiaofu asked in disbelief. She had thought about it, but she never thought that Lu Yuanchang would go to the battlefield so suddenly. Wouldn't it be a bolt from the blue?

"Fu Niang, don't worry, just listen to me, I'm going to be the personal soldier of Fencheng Defender General Wang Chao, I don't need to go to the front line of Linbian City, I just need to protect General Wang, it's not dangerous." Lu Yuanchang Seeing that Gu Xiaofu's expression had changed, he hurriedly held her in his arms and explained.

"A Yuan, tell me in detail, what exactly happened to you when you went to Fencheng this time?" Gu Xiaofu asked, grabbing Lu Yuanchang's lapel.

When Lu Yuanchang heard the words, he narrated, but avoided the matter of Wang Min.

"The current situation is beginning to appear chaotic. We are afraid that we will really fight in the northern border. I have discussed with General Wang. If there is no accident, Rong Di will come here in the spring, and this time, it is definitely not a small one. To make trouble, I begged the general, he has promised me a small courtyard in the city, you will come with me into the city after we get married, I usually stay in the barracks, and I have a day off every ten days, and then I can see you." Lu Yuanchang was very grateful to Wang Chao. Although she knew that Wang Chao treated her so well because he wanted her to work for him, but in the end, it was enough to give her family a piece of safety.

Gu Xiaofu fell asleep in Lu Yuanchang's arms. Although she couldn't escape her fate, it was always safer to go to Fencheng. She could still guard Lu Yuanchang, which was much better than going to the front line.

Lu Yuanchang held Gu Xiaofu in his arms and looked at her sweet sleeping face. He felt that he had no regrets in this life. When she put a gentle kiss on Gu Xiaofu's red and tender lips, the first ray of sunshine of the New Year appeared in the eastern sky. .
