Xianyuan Farm

Half an hour later, through a deep forest path, Gu Hongyu followed He Xiaohai to a wooden house built on the hillside of a hill. `

This wooden house looked very shabby, with several parts of the roof covered with a thin layer of plastic film. Upon closer inspection, the entire wooden house was very damp, and severe coughing sounds were frequently heard inside the wooden house.

Maybe it was the sound of He Xiaohai's return that alerted the people in the house. They only heard coughing and questions in the wooden house: "Xiao Hai is back. Did you go to the small street again today?"

"Well, Mom, that's where I went." He Xiaohai was a little excited when he thought about the wood carvings he sold.

However, Xiao Hai's mother in the wooden house did not know Xiao Hai's experience today, and said slowly: "Xiao Hai, I know you are a very sensible child, but learning wood carving is not a one-day thing. It's okay for you to go to the small street, but Stop selling your wood carving around. How can anyone want that kind of thing?"

"Mom, I have good news for you. The wood carvings I carved some time ago have been sold for fifty yuan!" He Xiaohai said very proudly.

"Ah, it's really sold. You didn't lie to me..." Just as he was talking, he heard the sound of an object falling to the ground in the wooden house. Needless to say, it was Xiaohai and his mother who fell. `

You guessed it right, when Gu Hongyu followed He Xiaohai into the wooden house, a human figure came back and a black shadow fell in the middle of the dark and narrow wooden house.

He Xiaohai yelled and ran over, immediately lying down next to the black shadow and crying in his voice: "Mom, are you okay?"

After adapting to the dim conditions in the wooden house, Gu Hongyu observed the appearance of He Xiaohai's mother.

The other person should be less than 40 years old, but there are already gray hairs on his head, and his body looks a bit stooped. His mental state is very poor at the moment, and his face is pale and without much blood.

Without saying anything, Gu Hongyu followed him and helped He Xiaohai lead his mother to the bed filled with clothes. Although the clothes were stacked neatly, after taking a glance, Gu Hongyu knew that these clothes might be all. This family's life was so difficult because of the money given to them by others.

"Mom. Didn't the doctor say that you should have a good rest when you are sick? It's best not to get out of bed. I am responsible for all this, so why don't you listen?" There was nothing unusual about her mother. He Xiaohai still complained.

He Xiaohai's mother did not answer his question directly. Instead, she pointed at Gu Hongyu and asked, "Xiaohai, who is this? Why did he follow you to our house?"

Before Gu Hongyu could answer, He Xiaohai said first, "Mom. This uncle is the one who bought my wood carvings. Well, this is the 50 yuan I got from selling the wood carvings."

As he spoke, He Xiaohai happily handed 50 yuan to his mother.

Seeing this scene, Gu Hongyu was deeply moved. How old is this child? He only knows how to subsidize the family.

The children of the poor have long been in charge of the family. He Xiaohai did not steal or rob, and relied on his own labor to earn a little profit. He did not spend it randomly, but brought it back to his mother. This kind of simple filial piety is enough to make many people living in big cities My peers who have no worries about food and clothing feel ashamed.

It was only now that Gu Hongyu understood He Xiaohai's hesitant expression when he saw the pancake and fruit stall.

"Brother, thank you for taking a fancy to Xiao Hai's wood carvings. I know what the wood carvings he carved look like. This kid must have pestered you to buy them. I believe you must be a good person with a kind heart." Xiao Hai's mother is weak. Saying words of thanks.

From the other party's words, Gu Hongyu understood that He Xiaohai might not have received a good education, but he had a good mother, and the words and deeds he received from his mother on weekdays were enough to make him sensible.

"No, eldest sister, the wood carvings carved by Xiaohai are very spiritual. If he continues to learn, he will definitely achieve great achievements in this industry in the future. It is really not expensive to buy it for fifty yuan." Gu Hongyu smiled. said.

He Xiaohai was very happy when he heard Gu Hongyu's words. His thin little chest looked particularly proud and he said: "Mom. You heard it, my uncle praised me. I will definitely become a master of carving. Let me buy my wood carvings." Everyone is lining up!”

"That's right. Mom, look at what delicious food I brought back for you." He was talking about other things just now. When Xiao Hai remembered the food, he immediately rummaged in his pocket.

Soon, several kinds of pancakes, sesame balls, soy milk, and eggs were placed one by one on a low stool in front of the bed. He Xiaohai smiled and dialed an egg for his mother with his own hands: "Mom, here, tea eggs are so good." Eat. I’ll give you the soy milk. The two together taste better.”

The child's mother looked at the busy He Xiaohai lovingly and said to Gu Hongyu: "This child has been sensible since he was a child, but our family's conditions are really poor, otherwise Xiaohai would not have been denied a good education. Other people’s children are now in school, but my Xiaohai..."

As he spoke, the child's mother's face was covered with tears. He Xiaohai used a towel to wipe his mother's tears in a panic: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Xiaohai has grown up, and I will definitely let you live a good life in the future." Good day, please stop crying."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Gu Hongyu was shocked again. Although the situation of his family was not good when he was a child, it was countless times better than that of He Xiaohai's family.

"Sister, you don't need to be sad. Look how filial Xiaohai is now. I see that you don't look like a local but a Han. If you are willing, I want you to follow me. I like Xiaohai very much. Let him follow me to receive the best education. What do you think?" Gu Hongyu finally expressed his inner thoughts.

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Gu Hongyu gently stroked He Xiaohai's head again: "Would you like to follow me to see the outside world? I have a very large farm abroad. There are two big dogs, two horses, two eagles and a talking parrot at home. In addition, uncle also likes carving. We can often exchange skills in wood carving..."

Listening to what Gu Hongyu said, He Xiaohai had a fascinated expression on his face, but soon he suppressed the impulse in his heart and turned to look at his mother. He didn't say anything, but this action showed that he would respect his mother's decision. It was really considerate.

"Brother, I am actually a Han Chinese. But when I was young, the village suffered a disaster and I slowly moved here. Later, I met Xiaohai's father and formed a stable family. I thought I could spend my life in peace, but Xiaohai's father went into the mountains to hunt and never came back. Xiaohai and I, who are sick, were left. If we hadn't often received relief from the surrounding villagers, Xiaohai and I would have died."

"Thank you very much for your help, brother. But if Xiaohai and I really followed you, we would definitely cause you trouble. We can't do anything and are completely useless. It's better for us to stay here. Xiaohai can also learn carving on the small street. When he grows up, he will definitely make money with his skills. I, who am already useless, will be relieved to die."
