After the halo of the heroine was taken away, I was reborn

The ripe autumn pears hung on the tree can moisten the lungs and promote body fluids. The pear flesh is white and full of juice.

Gu Jinyao peeled three pieces, cut them into small pieces, put them in a bowl and took them out to the children and Ji Lan.

After two days of getting along, the two children are no longer that afraid of Ji Lan. Although they won't get close to her, they don't reject her and will still talk to her from a distance.

It's just that Ji Lan rarely responded, either in a daze or giggling.

"Sister, eat a pear."

Gu Jinyao handed the bowl of pears to Ji Lan and took a piece into his mouth to teach her.

Ji Lan didn't know what she was thinking, and turned to look at Gu Jinyao in a daze.

Seeing that she didn't want to eat, Gu Jinyao quickly took the bowl away and went into the room to touch a pair of large quilted gloves made of old cloth.

Ji Lan's hands were covered with chilblains, red and swollen. Gu Jinyao had applied cream on her hands for the past two days to take care of them, and he also made these gloves.

"Here, put it on."

Gu Jinyao taught her like a child. Ji Lan looked at the gloves with dull eyes, and finally revealed some different emotions.

The emotion passed away in a flash, but Gu Jinyao still saw it.

Ji Lan's expression just now...

"Put it on quickly."

Gu Jinyao handed over the gloves and planned to help her put them on.

At this time, Ji Lan, who had not moved yet, took the gloves away, looked at them in front of his eyes, raised his hand, and threw them away.

Gu Jinyao: "?"

It was the first time he had lost his temper in this house. Coupled with the expression he had just seen, Gu Jinyao felt that there was something "problematic" about this Ji Lan.

Gu Jinyao was not annoyed, silently picked up the pair of gloves and put them on the bedside of her room.

When it was almost dark, Zhao Xiaogang came back and brought back one hundred kilograms of rhubarb rice, fifty kilograms of peanuts, and twenty kilograms of white sesame seeds.

Zhao Xiaogang brought these things back with his foreign car. Seeing that he was sweating from exhaustion, Gu Jinyao gave him a few pears to quench his thirst.

After unloading the things, Gu Jinyao took out the peanuts and carried them to Xiaochun's house next door. He asked for help to remove the shells and paid fifty cents for fifty kilograms.

They have many families, so they can get peanuts later.

Fifty cents to peel fifty pounds of peanuts, of course.

The most valuable thing for rural people is their strength. Everyone has nothing to do at night. They sit under the lamp, chat and work at the same time. There are more than a dozen people in the family, and they finish peeling in half an hour. How can they still earn half a catty of pork?

Not for.

In the back village, the third family member of the Gu family was also peeling peanuts.

Gu Liuying is also a person who can calculate costs. But she has three houses and a family to use, so why would she pay the fifty cents.

Tian Chunhua couldn't help complaining every time. She relied on the second house to do business. Not only did she have to work as a waiter for free, but she also had to help with the farm work. She had to ask them to work overtime for anything.

There are only four people in the third room, and it took two or three hours to work on fifty pounds of peanuts, which made my hands hurt.

Tian Chunhua: "With such a huge investment, I don't know if the peanut candies and sesame candies can be sold."

Gu Jinyao's rice krispie treats are selling well, as everyone has seen, but peanut candies and sesame candies haven't been tested yet!

This time when Gu Liuying wanted to make candy, she did bring Sanfang into partnership, but the partnership had its own rules. Gu Liuying invested in technology, and the cost was only 40 or 60 cents compared to Sanfang.

Making sugar is different from making bean sprouts. Bean sprouts are just mung beans and soybeans. This time, we need to use refined grains, which costs money.

And the money is not cheap at all.

Tian Chunhua was quite worried. She was afraid of tigers and wolves, and was not a business person at all.

Gu Yongguo advised her to give it a try first, and if it didn't sell well, they would quit.

Moreover, I heard from the second girl that the eldest girl’s source of sugar has been cut off...

The next day.

The aroma of rapeseed oil wafts across the front and back villages.

Gu Liuying is making candy, and Gu Jinyao is also making candy.

It's just that one is getting started directly, and the other is still experimenting.

Peanut candy and sesame candy with fairy water added, the taste is irresistible after it comes out of the oven.

But he has been eating too much food with fairy water recently, and Gu Jinyao can still taste a little bit different. This has to do with the ingredients and the person's craftsmanship.

She tried it three times to make sure the product was perfect.

Although she has the magic water, as long as there is a slight deviation, she must try to change and learn, instead of being passive and indifferent with good things and just sitting back and enjoying the fruits.

The test of the things was successful and the raw materials were prepared. Gu Jinyao did not start cooking immediately. He was still preparing to get up early tomorrow to make fresh food as before.

at night.

After the noodles on the counter were rolled out, the fire in the stove temporarily ceased.

Lamps were lit in the main room and kitchen, and the family sat under the lamps, waiting quietly for Ji Shao to return from the north.

Today, Saturday.

Taking the last bus back to the town from the county, and then walking back to the village, it was getting dark no matter what, and it was cold now, so it got dark earlier than before.

In fact, they could eat first, but Ji Shaobei only came back once a week, and the family always wanted to be happy.

The man's feet were fast, so they didn't wait long this time. There was a noise outside the courtyard door, and Ji Shaobei was back.

He was still wearing the same military coat, with an old military green cloth bag on his back. He strode through the door resolutely and calmly, like a gust of wind.

Gu Jinyao came out from the kitchen and said, "I'm back."

Ji Shaobei looked at her and stopped for a moment, "Yeah."

"I've boiled hot water, put down your things and come over and wash your face and hands." Gu Jinyao said.

"good."

Ji Shaobei's voice was deep, and you could feel a hint of smile if you listened carefully.

He was in a good mood, but the moment he stepped through the threshold, his original smile was gone, replaced by a moment of surprise.

"sister?"

The woman sitting at the table was wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket and had shoulder-length hair. Apart from her expression, she looked no different from ordinary people. She was even cleaner and tidier than a woman who had to work all day long.

If it weren't for the shadow in his memory, Ji Shaobei wouldn't be able to connect the person in front of him with Ji Lan.

How many years have passed?

Five years!

Yes, it has been five years since Ji Lan went crazy.

In the past five years, when Ji Shaobei returned to the village for vacation, he would go over to see her. When the Lu family heard about his return to the village, they would make a special trip to clean up her, and they would barely be able to see her when he came over.

In fact, Ji Shaobei knew how his sister lived in the Lu family, dirty and dirty, living like a beggar.

Once, he was planning to retire from the army early and take his sister back to Ji's house to take good care of her. But at that time, Ji Lan would get sick, chase him away, scold him, hide in the corner of Lu's house, and not want to leave with him.

Ji Shaobei felt helpless towards this cousin.

Ji Lan didn't go to the Lu family until she was fifteen years old. She brought him up when he was a child. The relationship between brother and sister was deep. When she grew up, she had a difficult life, but he could do nothing.

Looking back on the past, he felt very guilty about Ji Lan.

At the beginning, if he had joined the army a year later, or had not joined the army, perhaps these things would not have happened.

But in this world, there are no ifs, ifs, or maybes.
