Jiaohua Growth Guide [Rebirth]

Gu Ci originally wanted to come the next day, but when he just packed up his house and was about to leave, Uncle Bangen's body was affected by the damp weather, half of his body suddenly couldn't move, Aunt Bangen cried and begged her to come over She couldn't help, so she had no choice but to help and call the doctor, and then accompanied them to the Jishantang in the town.

Aunt Bangen was in a hurry with snot and tears, and she was too embarrassed to leave in a hurry, and since Aunt Bangen's two children hadn't arrived yet, she couldn't bear to leave the two elderly people in the hospital, so she left Come down and take care of them together.

The next day, although Aunt Bangen's sons and daughters rushed over, but the daughter has a husband's house, she is now a housewife, and she is pregnant, so how can she be there all the time? , and can only take time to that point.

Aunt Bangen herself feeds chickens and pigs, and the family cannot live without people. In addition, when the weather cleared up, she had no choice but to take care of Aunt Bangen's housework while taking time to collect the wombs from her field.

After all this delay, it was already four days later when I had time to go to Lijia Village to pick up people.

The little girl didn't hear anything outside the window, and she was only embroidering her sachet until Abao, who hadn't seen her sister for a few days, rushed in like a rabbit and happily told her that her sister was here, and she didn't know about it. He was also stupidly dazed for a moment, then threw the sachet in his hand, and slid off the kang with a swipe of the ground. He didn't care whether his shoes were on or not, and ran out following Abao.

There's no place like home.

Although the big tile-roofed house of the grandfather's house sheltered from the wind and rain and breathed air, and the grandfather's family was very kind to their siblings from old to young, they felt uncomfortable staying there. People, how can I be calm.

"Slow down, slow down..." The weather was fine, and everyone was basking in the sun outside. When Gu Ci came over, he was not in a hurry to enter the house, so he stood outside and chatted with grandpa. The little boy who jumped over like a rabbit was anxious and funny. He was afraid that they would be broken, so he walked over quickly and grabbed one in one hand: "It's getting more and more presumptuous at grandpa's house, isn't it?"

"No, no." Ah Bao quickly shook his head. He is a restrained person, and he couldn't hold back his emotions at the moment. "I miss my sister." He also emphasized in a low voice, "I really miss it."

"It's no big deal, I'll learn how to talk sweetly, huh?" Sweet words are irresistible to the golden and iron horse, Gu Ci naturally couldn't avoid it, rubbed his face with a smile, turned his head to see the silent little girl, and couldn't help but wonder , tugged at the little girl who buried her head in her arms, "It seems that Jiaojiao doesn't want my sister."

"The little girl is so squeamish." Mrs. Hua was moving a stool for Gu Ci from the house, when she heard this, she smiled teasingly, "I want to lose the golden bean."

"Really?" Gu Ci tugged at her back collar again, but the little girl didn't let go of her hug, nor did she respond.

Mrs. Yang also came out with tea and melon seeds, and echoed, "If it's true, it can't be fake, and if it's fake, it can't be real. You see, we treat the two of them well. As a result, even Ah Bao who usually looks Quiet and obedient, she talks about her sister in her dreams."

A few people were talking and laughing, and beckoned Gu Ci to sit down, "Tsk tsk, look at these two little brats, they are so entangled with you, those who don't know think we have abused them."

"Both of them are clingy." Gu Ci knew that Yang was joking, so he didn't take it seriously. He pushed the two of them, but the two young ones refused to let go. He had no choice but to hold one and sit on the other. past.

Ah Bao is okay, children are very playful, and after pestering Gu Ci for a while, they couldn't resist the temptation of Little Shitou, Xiao Huzi and the brothers' little slingshots, and ran away after him, repeatedly confirming with Gu Ci when he left, "Sister, you must go home You have to call me, you have to call me..."

The boys in Gu’s Village are very skinny. When Abao was at Gu Er’er’s house, he couldn’t go out if Fatty didn’t go out. If Fatty went out, he could only be Fatty’s little follower. To chase after him, over time, naturally no children like to play with him.

Now, it's rare to see my younger brother having so much fun with this group of cousins. Gu Ci didn't bother him, told them to be safe, and let them go.

As soon as A Bao left, Gu Ci was able to put his mind on the little girl, peeled two melon seeds and fed them to her, and said with a smile in front of everyone: "Under the eyes of everyone, it's okay for me to be spoiled with my sister for so long." Not ashamed."

The little girl likes to eat melon seeds, but she complains of a headache when she knocks the melon seeds. More importantly, she doesn’t know how to knock the melon seeds. Others can knock the melon seeds when they touch the upper and lower teeth. They were all broken, and I was secretly laughed at by Abao several times at home. Every time I ate melon seeds, I hid in the corner by myself, and when I broke them, I was still angry there.

Therefore, when there are melon seeds at home, Gu Ci will stuff some melon seeds into her pocket if she has nothing to do, and when she has nothing to do, she will peel a few and put them in her mouth.

The little girl rubbed against her arms in embarrassment, raised her head secretly, ate the melon seeds in her palm, and argued in a low voice: "I'm not being coquettish."

Hmph, she just misses her sister more than that little fool like A Bao.

Gu Ci looked at her with a smile, and when he noticed that her face was dry, her eyes were slightly red and bloodshot, and the fundus of her eyes was black and blue.The little girl rushed over just now, and she didn't pay attention to take a good look at it. She immediately became angry when she saw it, but in front of the elders of the Li family, she couldn't reprimand her a word.

Although the first emperor issued a decree that "women can also be the masters of the family and marry wives just like men", despite the letters from all officials, the common people resisted on the grounds that female and female couples cannot inherit incense. The women in the family imitated the demeanor of the empress and concubines at that time, but the lower class scoffed at them, especially in such a poor and remote farmer's family like theirs, who still favored sons over daughters.

Gu Ci believed that the elders of the grandfather's family would take good care of A Bao. If she lost weight in a few days, she would be anxious to explain to her, but the little girl might not be so caring.

Therefore, if she trains the little girl to torture herself like this, the elders of the Li family will feel embarrassed, and they will think that she is blaming them for not taking good care of them.

Gu Ci suppressed the depression in his heart, helped her peel a few melon seeds, and said a few words to her pretending not to know anything.

The little girl was tired of being in her arms, and she was thinking about her sachet again. While Gu Ci was talking happily with the Li family, she hurriedly dragged Sanmei into the house to embroider.

"Sister Jiaojiao, are you going back with Eldest Sister today?" Sanmei has been inseparable from her for a few days, and she admires and likes the knowledgeable and talented little girl even more, wishing that the two of them could embroider together every day.

"Yeah." Jiaojiao nodded without hesitation, but she hesitated again when she thought about the handkerchiefs and sachets that hadn't been embroidered yet. There are still ten handkerchiefs at home. She has been working so hard these days, so she brought them here I only embroidered ten handkerchiefs, eight sachets, and five handkerchiefs and twelve sachets. If I can still embroider at Sanmei's place for six hours a day for three days, the remaining sachets With Pazi, she went back and sneaked away, and she could still finish it.

Lost in thought, the embroidery needle poked into her fingertips, causing her to hiss in pain.

"Sister Jiaojiao, are you okay?" To be poked on the finger by an embroidery needle, it's perfectly normal for an embroiderer. Sanmei would also do this when she was in a trance, but seeing the blood on the little girl's fingertips, I'm in a hurry.

Jiaojiao put her fingers in her mouth, seeing that Sanmei was about to get off the kang, she quickly grabbed her, "It's okay, it's okay."

Seeing that her fingers were no longer bleeding, Sanmei was relieved, thinking that she was in a hurry, and said, "If you really can't make it, then you can save some money. Just explain it to the eldest sister. I think You've been suffering for the past few days, and your complexion is a bit unwell..."

"Sister Sanmei, you must never tell my sister." Jiaojiao quickly cut her off, "If my sister finds out, I will be scolded."

Sanmei frowned, "I don't think Eldest Sister is such a harsh person. The embroiderers in the serious embroidery workshop only embroider for four full hours a day. You have been embroidering for six hours a day these few days. If Eldest Sister knew you It's really powerless, and it will definitely..."

Jiaojiao blinked ignorantly, "Sister, she only allows me to embroider for three hours, and if it is too much, she will punish me. If she finds out that I embroider for six hours a day, I will probably be beaten..."

"Ah?" Sanmei took a long time to realize, "You, what you meant just now, the big sister scolded you not because you couldn't finish your embroidery work, but because you did too much embroidery work?"

"That's right." The little girl didn't know what was so strange about it. Seeing her complex expression of surprise and incomprehension, she looked around and saw no one else. She felt that Sanmei was a trustworthy person. He leaned into her ear and whispered: "The shopkeeper Zhao said that thirty handkerchiefs and sachets will be completed on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and there will be a reward of ten taels of silver, but my sister is worried that I am too late, so she only wants to take half of the amount. Picked up the other half behind her back. Shopkeeper Zhao and I know about this, sister Sanmei must never tell anyone else."

Sanmei looked at her and nodded nana, but her heart was full of envy and bitterness.She originally thought that the little girl was forced by her eldest sister to be so anxious, but she didn't want her to think in the wrong direction at the beginning.

It's no wonder that she thought wrongly. If it was her family, let alone ten taels of silver, the family would let her stay up all night to finish embroidery if it was even one tael of silver.

The envy is too deep, and it is naturally jealous.Her family members are all relatives who are related to her by blood, and the little girl is just a little girl picked up by her elder sister, but she is so lucky.

However, as soon as Sanmei saw the little girl's eyes and remembered how the little girl taught her stitches without reservation, the jealous beast became docile again.She moved her lips, but didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, she just put down the handkerchief in her hand and picked up the needle pinned on the embroidery thread, "Sister Jiaojiao, what thread do you want next? I'll give it to you." You thread the thread so you can go faster."

The little girl moves needles quickly, but embroidery is more cumbersome in a small area, and the embroidery thread is changed repeatedly, which delays time. Mei, the twin sisters, will get married after the spring of next year. Sanmei will also help the two sisters make their wedding dresses. "It's okay, the third sister will embroider her own."

"The embroidery work I took on at the end of last month, the veil is almost finished, don't worry."

Hearing this, the little girl took a look at her and said, "Golden yellow, this thread has few needles, so it doesn't need to be too long."

Outside the door, Gu Ci stood quietly at the door, and after not hearing any movement inside for a long time, she tiptoed out and went straight to the kitchen to help the aunt make lunch.

"Did you see it? I said Jiao girl is diligent." Seeing him coming out, He Shi smiled at her, and said half jokingly and half seriously: "Elder sister, Jiao girl, I am really happy, now your legs That’s fine, why not just keep it for me.”

Before Gu Ci could speak, Yang who came in with the rice teased her, "Sister-in-law, are you ashamed? Now that the pretty girl looks good, and she has good embroidery skills, she wants to steal her."

"Bah." He smiled and gave her a sip, then went to look at Gu Ci, thinking about the thoughts in his heart, he felt a little embarrassed, "The little girl looks small, but when you come to Kuishui, you will be a big girl, your second cousin Brother Zhipeng's marriage is settled, I'm not in a hurry, but your third brother Zhiyuan will be sixteen next year, I'm going to discuss her marriage, if you can trust your eldest aunt, just let the girl..."

"Auntie." Gu Ci interrupted her hastily, opened his mouth, and took a long time to calm down and said: "Jiaojiao is not very stable, and she is still young now. It's too early for this kind of thing. Auntie should look at other things." good girl."

Gu Ci really didn't know that Mrs. He had thought of this, and now he wished he could take this little girl who attracts people away immediately, lock her in the house, and never let her out again.

Her attitude was fierce, and He Shi frowned displeasedly, and her tone became colder, "I'm not saying that it will be done now, but seeing the young girl's appearance, I like her again, and I will be a daughter-in-law in the future. It gave me the feeling of wanting to recognize her as a daughter."

"Eldest aunt misunderstood me too." Gu Ci hurriedly laughed, if someone else told her about this today, she would sternly refuse, but elder aunt treats their siblings very well, once she said something wrong, she would be ashamed of the foreigner. The ancestral family's relationship is about to break down again, so they can only think from one side and say: "Although Jiaojiao was picked up by me, her identity is still a mystery, and she is not young, this important event in life should be her Make up your own mind, otherwise, if something happens in the future, she won't blame us."

Hearing what Gu Ci said, Mrs. He thought of the little girl's exquisite craftsmanship again, and frowned, "What you said makes sense. Forget it, I'm not that stubborn person, let's go and see." Well, aunt is also mother anyway.”

Only then did Gu Ci heave a sigh of relief, but fortunately, Mrs. Yang is a wonderful person who can adjust the atmosphere best, said a few witty words, and the few of them laughed and went to cook together again.

Today is the best day since the twelfth lunar month. Gu Ci originally planned to go back later, but now that his aunt made such an idea, although he made it clear, he was still worried. The three brothers and sisters said goodbye to the large and small bags that an aunt forcefully stuffed in.

Along the way, Gu Ci looked normal and allowed them to run for a while.

The little girl thought to herself, since her elder sister didn't give her the slightest expression, she must have noticed nothing unusual, and followed Abao along the mountain path with no guilt, and ran wildly all the way, picking up a lot of maple leaves.

It wasn't until night that the little girl realized that something was wrong when she saw the cane brought in by her sister with a cold face.
