Chapter 46

"Thank you, Mom." Gu Da Cai held the things Mom gave him tightly, and together with Ercai, took all the candies they had saved, put them inside, and sent them to the old house.

Gu Mu had many small wounds, chest, neck, both arms, and stomach, all had wounds.

There were no particularly deep wounds, but they hurt if pulled slightly.

Drank a few sips of water, leaned on the bed, and talked to Gu Fu.

"Aren't you going to name the children, have you named them yet? If so, let me see."

Gu Fu said: "Names aren't urgent, your health is the most important thing now."

"How is it not urgent!" Gu Mu sighed lightly, "When I fell today, I thought I was going to leave my life at the Lu family."

"I thought at the time, I don't know what the big names of Gu Da Cai and the others are, haven't seen them go to school yet, don't know what the brick house of the third room will be like, haven't seen the third one for the last time, I can't rest my heart closing my eyes like this..."

Before the old wife finished speaking, Gu Fu interrupted with a dark face.

"What last time! What closing eyes! What unlucky words are you saying! We still have to watch the grandsons marry wives, the granddaughters marry out, don't think wildly, there's us for the work at home, you rest assured and heal."

As soon as his words fell, two familiar footsteps stopped at the door.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

Then there were three rhythmic knocks on the door.

Immediately after.

Gu Da Cai and Ercai lifted the bamboo curtain and poked in two identical little heads.

White and tender, little faces with baby fat, clever and cute.

"Grandpa, Grandma, can we come in?" Knowing Gu Mu was injured, Ercai didn't make such a fuss, and lowered his voice subconsciously when speaking.

"Yes, why not." Gu Mu smiled lovingly and beckoned to the two grandsons.

Gu Da Cai and Ercai carried the familiar small bamboo basket and entered the room slowly.

"What did you bring?" Gu Fu was afraid of tiring the grandsons, and got up to take it.

Gu Da Cai raised his eyes and said seriously: "Eggs, meat, brown sugar, and malted milk."

"Mom prepared them for Grandma, said let Grandma nourish her body well. If she can't nourish well, take Grandma to the county to see a doctor."

What a doctor is, the child didn't know, he felt it was a more powerful physician.

Gu Mu felt warm in her heart, "Your Mom said that?"

Ercai nodded quickly, "I heard it too! It was Mom who said it!"

The child lay on the edge of the bed, eyes looking at his grandma worriedly, and said: "Grandma, you have to eat well, get better early."

Both cubs were raised by their grandma, and had deep feelings for Gu Mu.

Seeing their grandma injured at noon, they shed many golden beans.

Gu Mu felt a warm current quickly rushing through her whole body, her face piled full of smiles, and said: "Good, good, good, Grandma listens to our Gu Da Cai and Ercai, must get better early."

She didn't expect Lin Zhao to let the two cubs send so many good things.

Gu Fu and Gu Mu had lived for most of their lives, neither could leave the other, and hoped she would get better faster than anyone else.

Seeing the brown sugar sent by the third daughter-in-law, he directly brewed a bowl for the old woman.

Brown sugar put a full half spoon, the sugar water was red.

"Drink some brown sugar water, nourish blood." The temperature of the sugar water was just right, not too hot, Gu Fu handed it to Gu Mu's side, urged her to drink, and also said: "Third daughter-in-law sent quite a lot, I'll brew a bowl for you every day from now on."

Gu Mu saw the sugar water was so red, her heart ached.

"Put a little is enough, why put so much!"

Gu Fu said: "Put too little, what's the use, you lost so much blood today, need to nourish more."

"If you finish drinking, I'll go buy from the third daughter-in-law."

"..." Is this a money problem?

Waste!!

Putting less can be drunk for a long time.

Gu Da Cai held Gu Mu's rough hand, little face serious: "Grandma, listen to Grandpa."

He lowered his eyes, the trembling eyelashes revealing fragility.

"I only have one grandma, Grandma don't get hurt, don't get sick, I'm scared."

As he spoke, the child shed tears, didn't make a sound, tears fell one by one.

Ercai rushed up wanting to hug his grandma and act spoiled, barely remembered Gu Mu had wounds, took a detour and hugged his brother bear-hug style, turning into a little train in minutes: "Woooooo I'm also scared, Woooooo I don't want Grandma to become a small mound!"

Gu Mu hurriedly comforted the grandsons: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Grandma won't become a small mound, Grandma will be fine soon."

"Grandma has to listen to Grandpa, drink brown sugar water well." Ercai stopped crying, his face stern and made a request, there were no tears in his eyes, not even a blush.

Playing tricks on his grandma.

"Good, good, good." Gu Mu touched the heads of the two cubs, and responded repeatedly, her heart warm like drinking a mouthful of mutton soup in the cold winter, her whole person felt warm.

Ercai was finally satisfied, inhaled sharply and fell, as if the stuffiness in his chest had dissipated.

Like a little adult, he urged Gu Mu to rest well, and left holding his brother's hand.

Seeing Tie Chui squatting at the door, Gu Da Cai bent his eyes, and invited actively: "Tie Chui, Ercai and I are going to see the bicycle Mom bought, are you going?"

The atmosphere at home was dull, Tie Chui had nothing to do, and no one paid attention to him, stood up: "Go!"

Three children held hands and returned to the Gu family's third room.

Lin Zhao was making bibs for the twins in the yard, the third cub was sitting on a small stool playing with a small cloth ball she gave, the fourth cub couldn't be quiet, running around in the yard, playing very happily alone.

"Mom!" Ercai's loud voice sounded.

Lin Zhao looked at the sound, "Back, Tie Chui is also here."

"Mom, I brought Tie Chui to see the bicycle." Gu Da Cai's little eyes aimed at the place against the wall, where the brand-new bicycle was parked.

"Go, it's our family's, look however you want. Wait a few years until you are taller than the bicycle, I'll teach you how to ride." Lin Zhao promised with a smile.

The two cubs are back and she is relieved, no need to stare at the fourth cub all the time.

"You three help me watch your younger sister."

Raising children is really not easy.

"Got it!" Ercai responded happily, squatted in front of the bicycle, reached out and touched the pedals, touched the wheels, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

"Our family's bicycle!" His tone was excited.

Gu Da Cai was also happy, looked at Lin Zhao, and asked: "Mom, can Ercai and I sit?"

Lin Zhao wanted to agree, but the two little spirits, the third and fourth cubs, were there. If the older brother wants to do something, they also want to learn. That bicycle has no child seat, what if their legs get caught in the wheels.

She winked at Gu Da Cai.

Gu Da Cai understood, bent his eyes and giggled.

Time flew by.

After dinner, Lin Zhao took the cubs to the old house.

When they arrived, the Gu family was eating.

On the table were stir-fried cabbage with little oil, cold shredded radish, small pickles, the only meat was that plate of green onion scrambled eggs with pitifully little quantity, sorghum flour steamed buns, sweet potato rice.

Just this, it was considered good in the whole Harvest Brigade—after all, the Gu family had many strong laborers, all could get full work points, and distributed more grain at the end of the year.

Some families in the village couldn't even fill their stomachs, and were so hungry at night they just drank water.

Huang Xiulan saw Lin Zhao, stood up and asked: "Sister-in-law, have you eaten?"

Lin Zhao hadn't spoken yet, Tie Chui had an oily little mouth, grinned, "Mom, we ate!"

Tie Dan knew his younger brother must have eaten meat, knowing he shouldn't ask, but still couldn't help it, "What did you eat?"

"There was twice-cooked pork, mapo tofu, and cold cucumber, Third Aunt also made fragrant and thick white porridge, Ercai and I shared a white steamed bun." Tie Chui counted with his fingers, sharing with his brother.

Bangbang, Laimei, Tie Dan and the others were so greedy, they could only turn anger into appetite, biting hard on the sorghum flour steamed buns in their hands.

Hearing the little son say they ate so well, Huang Xiulan smiled embarrassedly, "Troubled Sister-in-law again."

"How much can children eat." Lin Zhao waved her hand indifferently.

Little Tie Chui smiled honestly.

"..." This is called stupid people having stupid luck.

Huang Xiulan rubbed her little son's head.

"Sister-in-law eat first, I have something to say after eating." Lin Zhao said.

She looked quite serious, making the Gu family a bit panicked.

Ate a battle meal, washing dishes suddenly became a popular job. Gu Yuanshan won by blood suppression, squeezed away Gu Yucheng, stacked the bowls and chopsticks together, and carried them to the kitchen.

Huang Xiulan was so angry she laughed.

Honest people also play tricks, usually don't see him so conscious!

She could feel the third sister-in-law had changed, actually no need to panic, maybe what Gu Da Cai's mother said was a good thing.

Huang Xiulan took a stool and planned to sit down, somehow her hand shook, the stool fell to the ground, making a bang.

"... didn't hold it steady." Huang Xiulan's smile was stiff.

Lin Zhao glanced, seeing the eldest sister-in-law's hand seemed to be shaking?

What's the situation, she... hasn't spoken yet?!

Over there, Zhao Liuniang finished wiping the uneven dining table, and secretly wanted to pee.

Before leaving, gave the eldest sister-in-law a look of wishing her well.

But didn't want to walk a few steps, was called.

"Gu Gu Ersao."

Zhao Liuniang's body stiffened, this time couldn't laugh.

At this time, Bangbang thoughtfully handed his mother a stool.

"Mom, stool."

Zhao Liuniang ground her teeth, showing you off, usually don't see you so thoughtful!

Took the stool heavily, she walked over with her head down, sat next to the eldest sister-in-law.

Second sister-in-law was unhappy, Huang Xiulan was happy, after all, there was a companion.

If given a difficult problem, at least there was someone to discuss with.

"... Third Sister-in-law, what do you want to say?" Huang Xiulan asked nervously.

Lin Zhao wanted to take a mirror to shine, to see if she was really hideous, how could she scare two honest people into psychological shadows.

Sin, sin.

The previous few times they dealt with each other weren't like this!

If Gu Eldest Sister-in-law and Gu Er Sister-in-law knew Lin Zhao's confusion, they would have to argue a few words.

The previous few times Mother-in-law was supporting in front!!!

"Eldest Sister-in-law, Gu Gu Ersao don't be nervous, I want to talk about the four cubs." Lin Zhao said straightly.

Huang Xiulan let out a big breath, smiled: "Just this matter."

Thought it was something else.

"I agreed with Liuniang, during the days Mom is healing, we take turns watching the four cubs. You rest assured and go to work, don't worry about the children."

"Thank you Eldest Sister-in-law, Gu Gu Ersao." Lin Zhao didn't expect the two sisters-in-law to be so easy to talk to, thanked them sincerely, her pupils seemed to be sprinkled with a handful of moonlight, soft and clear.

She smiled brightly and movingly, shaking Huang Xiulan and Zhao Liuniang's faces.

Third sister-in-law doesn't look like a country person at all, whiter and better-looking than the female educated youths at the educated youth point.

Facing such a face, who could refuse her request.

Lin Zhao didn't know she used her face to attack the two sisters-in-law, took out the prepared things, smiled: "Eldest Sister-in-law, Gu Gu Ersao, this is the thank-you gift I prepared for you, small mirror and snow cream."

Work points relate to rations, Gu Eldest Sister-in-law and Gu Er Sister-in-law definitely wouldn't not work, so watching the four cubs is extra workload, of course can't let people help for nothing, Lin Zhao still understands this bit of human sophistication.

Zhao Liuniang accepted first, her face bloomed with smiles, patted her chest and said: "Thank you, I guarantee to watch the four cubs well, won't let them lose a single hair."

While talking, holding the small mirror and snow cream, didn't dare to use force.

She picked up the mirror to shine, her face was very clearly printed in the mirror.

"So clear!" Zhao Liuniang exclaimed, "This is the first time I've seen my face so clearly."

Hand touched the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she froze, smiled bitterly: "Old, old! Have wrinkles..."

Lin Zhao said: "Skin is dry, using snow cream will be better."

Zhao Liuniang pinched the small snow cream, sighed lightly: "I'm also the first time touching snow cream, thanks to Sister-in-law's blessing."

She wanted a box of snow cream when she was young, but country girls had no money to buy it, so just thought about it.

After marriage, there was money in her pocket, but couldn't bear to buy it anymore.

Accepted the first box of snow cream in her life, Zhao Liuniang thought of her little daughter.

Yu Yu's little face was tanned and dry, far from being as moist as the four cubs, with this snow cream, her Yu Yu could also be white and tender.

Thinking this way, she looked at Lin Zhao gratefully.

Huang Xiulan also smiled: "Yes, we are also people who have seen snow cream."

Originally felt watching the four cubs was as it should be, this time there was even less complaint.

That night.

Gu Mu only knew about this, "Old Third's wife is getting better at handling things!"

"This way Eldest Daughter-in-law and Second Daughter-in-law definitely have no reluctance at all, my heart, can also be completely put down."

Gu Fu turned up the lamp, took the ointment to the bedside.

"Time to change the medicine."

This medicine is stinging and hot when applied to the wound, it takes a while for that uncomfortable feeling to disappear, Gu Mu feels uncomfortable seeing it, but must change it.

"Change it faster."

Gu Fu responded: "Um."

Over here changing medicine, the Lu family is just at the lively time.

Su Yuxian was looking forward to marrying over, expecting the bridal night, her outer clothes were already taken off.

"Bang bang bang!!" Continuous knocking sounded.

She hurriedly put on her clothes again, used her hands to tidy up her messy hair, and walked quickly to look at the door.

Under parallel line of sight, no one.

Lowered her head, saw Lu Baozhen holding a pillow.

"I want to sleep with Dad!"

The voice was sweet and soft, but broke Su Yuxian's heart into several pieces.

She squeezed out a smile: "Didn't we agree, sleep with Grandma tonight?"

Lu Baozhen ignored the stepmother, stepped into the room, saw Lu I-zhou sitting on the edge of the bed, ran over, hugged his thigh, and said softly: "Dad, I'm scared, I want to sleep with you."

Compared to sleeping with a woman and a precious daughter, of course the daughter who can bring her own good luck is more important.

Lu I-zhou smiled: "Okay."

Got the word, Lu Baozhen giggled.

Su Yuxian couldn't smile, really couldn't smile.

She still wanted to get pregnant and have a son early, with such a drag, how to give birth?

This girl wasn't so annoying before.

Just at this time, Lu Baozhen opened her mouth: "Stepmother, I want to wash my feet."

Just married in, haven't consummated yet, Su Yuxian needs to please everyone in the Lu family, didn't dare to say half a "no" word, pulled the corners of her mouth, smiled: "Okay."

Words fell, she walked out of the room, the moment she stepped out of the door, her expression was hateful.

Little drag!

While scolding in her heart, she went to the kitchen.

Lit the lamp, the kitchen door was a piece of mottled wood ash, Su Yuxian knew what was under the wood ash, it was blood, Gu Mu's.

A good day for a big wedding, really unlucky.

Just thinking, her hand somehow touched the kitchen knife on the edge of the cutting board, the kitchen knife suddenly fell, landing on the toe of the straw sandals she was wearing.

"Ah——!!"

A piercing scream sounded, spreading to the neighbors.

The neighbor next door heard the shout, jumped up, climbed onto the low wall, and shouted: "What's wrong, what's wrong? Who is shouting?!"

The Lu family rushed into the kitchen.

But saw Su Yuxian bending down holding her foot, the thumb was smashed by the blade into a big opening, looking like the toe was broken, fresh red blood sprayed out, the scene was bloody, even scarier than that one at noon.

"Oh, why so careless, a day of great joy!" Lu Mother shrieked, her voice full of complaints, grabbed a handful of wood ash and sprinkled it on Su Yuxian's right foot.

The blood stopped instantly.

In the bridal room, Lu Baozhen faced her left hand, whispered: "Li Li."

Words fell.

A black koi pattern appeared on the tiger's mouth of her left hand.

It was like an abyss dyed in ink, shining with metallic luster, the edges faintly revealing dark red blood patterns, as if frozen with countless curses.

Looking at it, it was by no means auspicious.

The black koi pattern seemed to be printed in Lu Baozhen's flesh and blood.

It swam, appeared briefly, and disappeared in an instant.
