Chapter 4: Hairpins
Gu Chunzhu washed the dishes and started to worry when he sat in the house.
This home is really poor. There is only a handful of rice in the rice tank. In the basket containing sweet potatoes, she counted. There are only six slap-sized sweet potatoes, and there are only the things hidden in the memory of the original owner. A small bowl of bottomed lard and half a jar of salt.
The outside was cold. At this point of food, I could eat up to two or three days. Su Wangqin went out and did not say when he would come back. Gu Chunzhu decided not to sit still and there were many beasts in the mountains. If Su Wangqin died in the mountains, he would not be sure!
She walked to the edge of the locked mahogany cage, opened the lock three or two times, and opened a thing wrapped in three layers and three layers in red paper.
It was a silver hairpin, and it was also the only dowry that Gu Chunzhu brought from her family. It was her sister-in-law who secretly stuffed her.
Su Wangqin spent twelve silver dollars to marry back the original owner who was a fat, lazy and greedy mother-in-law, and she didn't look at her children. Gu Chunzhu was scared for him. This original owner's maiden's family was not a thing.
She didn't have time to complain. Looking at the sky before it was dark, she was ready to push the door out. She was about to walk out of the door and thought of the two children nestled at the root of the wall.
"I'm going out, you guys are waiting for me at home and come back to bring you delicious food." Gu Chunzhu turned his head on the two cleaned children, but said they were wearing a torn clothes that didn't match their faces.
The two children had a blank look in their eyes, their heads moved a little, and there was no emotion in their eyes.
Gu Chunzhu thought about it, and Xu was the original owner who often cheated the children like this.
She was about to go out. The cold wind blowing in the door made her sweat upside down again. Gu Chunzhu folded back into the room and gave a plate of carbon to let the two children sleep on her bed. Then she went out assuredly.
Gu Chunzhu touched the town according to the route in his memory.
In the pawnshop, she held two or two silver hairpins and was told by the boss that the inside was hollow, filled with soil, and only offered one or two silvers.
Gu Chunzhu rubbed his mouth to make the boss add two dollars, and finally Gu Chunzhu carried one or two money coins, just like walking out of the pawnshop with hundreds of millions of dollars, touching it from time to time, for fear of losing it.
Seeing that the sky was dark, she went to the grain shop to buy twenty kilograms of brown rice, spent 60 liters, and asked the store to carry a broken basket. Thinking of Xiaocheng's forehead injury, she went to the pharmacy to buy a bottle of gold sore medicine. This bottle of gold sore medicine would cost five dollars.
Sure enough, the ancient life is difficult, medicine is extraordinarily expensive, Gu Chunzhu also gritted his teeth and bought it, this child will inevitably bump up when he grows up, and the equipment is also used for the top.
Thinking of the ragged clothes of the two children, I didn't know how many holes were broken. Gu Chunzhu bought some needles and asked the people in Buzhuang for a few pieces of rags. When the money was silver hairpins, there were only six dollars left.
Gu Chunzhu decided not to spend the money at the bottom of the box when he was killed. He hurriedly prepared to go home. When he passed a bun shop, his footsteps stopped involuntarily.
"Little sister-in-law, would you like to buy a bun?" The lady who sold the bun beckoned to Gu Chunzhu.
Smelling the smell of buns, Gu Chunzhu's stomach stirred, and she clutched her stomach and leaned over and asked, "How do you sell this bun?"
"The last two pieces of meat are left. This piece of meat costs two pennies." The aunt lifted the steamer, revealing two white and fat buns, still steaming.
Gu Chunzhu couldn't help but swallowed a spit, reached out and touched the silver in his arms, and he could buy half a catty of brown rice for these two pennies.
Buns are really expensive, beyond her consumption level.
"I'll buy it again in the future." Gu Chunzhu looked away from the difficulty and moved up to prepare to go.
"Sister-in-law, the last two. If you want to take them away, I will charge you three pennies. You have been back all night, and the children at home are also hungry. My bun is famous in town. You should really take it home to give the children a try." The aunt said Gu Chunzhu's heart in a word.
An An and Xiao Cheng haven't tasted the taste of buns yet.
Gu Chunzhu sighed in her heart, she looked down to see that she had a hole in the cloth shoes, and when she raised her head, her eyes were radiant:
"Auntie, I bought two steamed buns, and you gave me a bun."
"I can't afford it. This bun is also made of fine noodles. Each one has to sell for a penny. The sister-in-law really has to be within inches." The aunt was so pale that she hurriedly waved her hand.
The red on Gu Chunzhu's face flashed all the way to make a living. She continued to bargain: "Auntie, neither of my two children have tasted the bun. If you eat it, you will definitely come."
Auntie hesitated for a while and carefully looked at Gu Chunzhu's clothes, the cheapest coarse cloth. Maybe you should eat such a bun once in a lifetime. The aunt comforted herself as a kind act.
"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you. Come home now." Auntie said, taking oil paper and wrapping two buns and a white-faced bun.
Gu Chunzhu handed the past three pennies and said with gratitude: "Thank you madam, I will find you next time I buy the buns."
Auntie shook her head helplessly, watching Gu Chunzhu's back, and also began to close the booth.
It was already night when Gu Chunzhu returned to Xiaohetou Village. The moon was hung high in the sky to shine on the road. Gu Chunzhu was carrying a basket, and her chest was bulging. She was afraid that the steamed buns would be cold.
Pushing open the door of the house, there was no more charcoal-burning heat in the house. The whole house was dark and there was no movement. Gu Chunzhu's chest flashed a little panic, and quickly put down his basket and shouted: "Xiaocheng, An'an. "
"We are here..." The sound of a weak barking cat sounded from the root of the wall.
Gu Chunzhu fumbled to find the oil lamp, lit it up with a fire, and found that the two children were still leaning against the wall and hugged each other to keep warm.
"Why don't you light up?" Gu Chunzhu blamed.
The two children shrank, and there was no reply.
Gu Chunzhu realized that the original owner had caused a huge shadow to his two children, and he slowed down and explained:
"It's so cold and dark at night, you don't light oil lamps, and there are many charcoal basins. What if you get sick? Hurry, don't stay on the ground, come to bed."
Gu Chunzhu's words just fell, and An An at the root of the wall suddenly cried out with a wow.
"Don't cry, what's wrong?" Gu Chunzhu hurried over.
Xiaocheng wrapped his sister tightly to block Gu Chunzhu's sight. He said dumbly: "An'an was sleeping and wet the bed. Don't hit her, just hit me if you want to be angry."
Gu Chunzhu's brow furrowed, An An was still small, and it was rare to sleep on the bed. The charcoal pot was burnt in the house. After sleeping comfortably, he naturally urinate in his dream, which is also impossible.
She saw the fear of the two children, and felt distressed. She felt something bulging out of her arms and handed it over, said softly: "No problem, see what good things I brought back to you."
