Mountain People

Zhao Nizi's face slowly turned pale with Zhao's words, she always thought she was doing it very carefully, and she didn't steal the money from the store, but just mixed her things in the store It's just a sale. Although she has a guilty conscience, Zhao Nizi doesn't think she is wrong.

Now being exposed by Zhao in front of everyone, Zhao Nizi found that everyone looked at her badly, and then she realized that she seemed to have done something that was not allowed by heaven.

In the midst of Zhao Nizi's extreme panic, Zhao shi said: "Since your father and mother died, I pity you two brothers and sisters for not being raised by elders, lest you be bullied and fight against Gu's clan scolded you and wanted to keep you at the Gu family's house. Originally, as an aunt, I had no obligation to educate you.

Dong's family, don't you know? I am not qualified to do this as a mother-in-law, why do you do this? "

One sentence made Zhao Nizi completely stunned. In fact, she knew deep down that what she was doing was wrong, but she relied on Zhao's favor and Gu Shuixiu's attention to her, and suddenly she was looked down upon from poverty. The village girl lived in a well-off family like the Gu family, and then went to the Dong family of Hunu's maidservant.

Everything is changing so fast that Zhao Nizi's heart can't help but flutter. No matter how young she is, she always feels that even if she does something, her elders will be tolerant. A lot of money makes Zhao Nizi, who has never seen the world, have thoughts that she shouldn't have. Once people's greed rises, they can't hold back if they want, and Zhao Nizi falls like this.

Now that Zhao Shi put all the facts in front of her eyes, she clearly stated her mistakes, and hit the nail on the head, Zhao Nizi's efforts to find excuses for herself became pale.

Seeing Zhao Nizi who was about to be unable to stand up, Gu Mingde said quietly: "Do you still think others owe you? Today I will give you a chance in front of everyone, and move in from today. Looking back at home, I learn from your aunt every day to learn the three obediences and four virtues, and learn how to behave in the world. If you don’t want to, then I will send you back to Zhaojia Village, such a big Buddha, our family can’t afford it.”

Zhao Shi also stared at Zhao Nizi and said slowly: "How do you choose?"

Where does Zhao Nizi have a choice at this time, she regrets it, but there is no regret in the world, and now she can only listen to Gu Mingde and Zhao's words, return to Gu's house, and be well taught by Zhao.

As for Zhao Baoer, after a deep discussion with him, Zhao Baoer and Gu Shuixiu, although Zhao Baoer did not fully understand the words of the adults, but one thing they understood very well, that is Zhao Baoer did something wrong, The ones with dirty hands and feet, Zhao shi told him sternly that if he made the same mistake as Zhao Nizi one day, she would definitely break his legs.

Zhao Baoer understands what Zhao means, she wants to raise their siblings separately, lest Zhao Nizi affect his character.

On the way back, Boa lost the liveliness she had when she came, a child drooping his head and looking depressed, looking at it only felt funny and distressed.

Dong Chenghu picked up Zhao Baoer with one hand and teased: "What's wrong? Not happy? Is it because my sister can't live with you?"

Zhao Baoer raised her head to look at Dong Chenghu and Gu Shuixiu, shook her head suddenly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Cousin, cousin-in-law, elder sister did something wrong, aunt said, elder sister will be punished, but aunt I said that I would not beat my sister, but I would take her by my side and raise her well. I am worried that if my sister does something wrong again, will my uncle really send her away?"

Gu Shuixiu sighed deeply when she heard the words, and said warmly as she walked: "Bao'er, people can have little ability, but their character must not be flawed, your aunt and uncle are also deeply responsible for their love. Che, we don't ask your sister to be more capable, but there must be no problems with the most basic morality of being a person.

Uncle will definitely take good care of her, if she is still obsessed, I am afraid your uncle will really send her back. "

Bao'er tried her best to remember Gu Shuixiu's words, silently praying that her sister would wake up.

There were four people when they went out, and three people when they came back, but the servants of the Dong family didn't ask any questions. As soon as Gu Shuixiu got home, he called Dong Yi and the colorful people and asked them to pack up The luggage goes to Zhishui County, and Bunfen replaces Zhao Nizi to do the accounting. If there is something that cannot be handled in the store, go to Gu Daniu.

This review of Shuixiu has learned a lesson, no longer a shopkeeper, and everyone can supervise each other with the same identity.

They are young, but the two have reached a sensible age.

After the incident of Zhao Nizi, Gu Shuixiu deeply understands that the poor family can't pamper and raise noble children, they must learn to endure hardships, and understand the truth of being a superior person by suffering.

This spring ploughing, she wants to let a few children in the family follow the adults into the field. If they can't get a hoe, they help to plant the rice. Although the speed is not fast, Gu Shuixiu doesn't expect them to really do anything. Come.

At the beginning of February, the snow and ice on Cuizhu Mountain finally subsided completely, and there was still floating ice on the big river in front of the mountain.

Gu Shuixiu asked Dong Chenghu to drain all the stagnant water in the fields. After three days, Dong Chenghu brought in the spring water again at noon. It was only on the fourth day that he officially started to work in the fields.

The harvest of lotus root field was not good last year, mainly because the earthquake caused missed the best time for sowing, but all the lotus seeds harvested were dried and stored by Gu Shuixiu, while lotus roots were used at home The stone mill is ground into lotus root paste to make lotus root starch.

Usually after noon, make a bowl of lotus root starch, add some longan and red dates, put some wild honey or brown sugar from the mountains, it is very delicious.

Gu Shuixiu only made it twice at home. This lotus root starch is cold and not suitable for eating in winter. Adults are better. Children eat too much and have diarrhea. She plans to take it out in summer. Eat or give away.

This year is the same as last year, half of the paddy fields are used to grow rice, and the other ones are used to grow lotus roots.
