Chapter 47
The ripe autumn pear hanging on the tree moistens the lungs and promotes body fluid, the pear flesh is white and full of juice.

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

After spending two days together, the two children are not so afraid of Ji Lan anymore. Although they won't get close to each other, they don't reject her, and they still talk to her from a distance.

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

"Sister, eat pears."

Gu Jinyao handed the bowl of pears to Ji Lan, took a piece and put it in his mouth, teaching her.

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

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

Ji Lan's hands were covered with frostbite, red and swollen, Gu Jinyao applied cream to her for the past two days, and even made these gloves.

"This, put it on."

Gu Jinyao taught her like a child, and Ji Lan looked at the gloves with dull eyes, after all, she still showed some other emotions.

The emotion was gone in a flash, but Gu Jinyao still saw it.

Ji Lan's expression just now...

"Put it on now."

Gu Jinyao handed over the gloves, intending to help her put them on.

At this time, Ji Lan, who hadn't moved all this time, took the glove over, looked at it in front of her eyes, raised her hand, and threw it away.

Gu Jin Yao: "?"

It was the first time he lost his temper when he came to this house, and combined with the expression he saw just now, Gu Jinyao felt that there might be something "problematic" about Ji Lan.

Gu Jinyao was not annoyed, she 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 catties of rhubarb rice, fifty catties of peanuts, and twenty catties of white sesame seeds.

These things were brought back by Zhao Xiaogang in his rickshaw. Seeing that he was sweating from exhaustion, Gu Jin rumored that he 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, and asked them to help remove the shells, and gave them fifty cents for fifty catties.

They have a large family, so they can get peanuts later.

Peeling fifty catties of peanuts for five cents, of course.

The most worthless thing for rural people is their strength. Everyone has nothing to do at night, sitting under the lamp, chatting and doing things at the same time. A dozen people in the family can finish peeling in half an hour, and they can still earn half a catty of pork money. Why not? not for.

In Houcun, the third house of the Gu family was also peeling peanuts at this time.

Gu Liuying is also a person who can calculate the cost, but there are three bedrooms and a family can use it, why does she have to pay the fifty cents.

Every time Tian Chunhua couldn't help complaining, relying on the second room to do business, not only had to be a waiter for free, but also helped with the work in the field, and they had to work overtime for something.

There are only four people in Sanfang, and it takes two to three hours to handle fifty catties of peanuts, and my hands hurt.

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

Gu Jinyao's rice cracker candy is selling well, everyone has seen it, but peanut candy and sesame candy have not been tried yet!

This time, Gu Liuying wanted to make candy, and indeed she joined Sanfang as a partnership, but the partnership has its own rules. Gu Liuying invested in technology, and the cost was only four to six cents that of Sanfang.

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

And it's not cheap at all.

Tian Chunhua was very worried. She was afraid of tigers and wolves, and she 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, according to the second girl, the elder girl's sugar source has been cut off...

The next day.

The front and back villages are filled with the aroma of rapeseed oil.

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

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 unstoppable after it comes out of the oven.

But recently, Gu Jinyao has been eating a lot of things with fairy water, and Gu Jinyao can still taste a little different, which has something to do with the materials used and the craftsmanship of the people.

She tried three times, trying to ensure that the product was perfect.

Although she has fairy water, as long as there is a slight deviation, she must try to change and learn, instead of being passive and neglecting with good things, only knowing to sit back and enjoy the benefits.

The experiment was successful, and the raw materials were ready. Gu Jinyao didn't start making it right away. It was still the same as before, and she was going to get up early tomorrow to catch up with something new.

at night.

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

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

Today, Saturday.

I took the last bus from the county back to the town, and then walked back to the village. It was dark anyway, and it was cold now, and it was getting dark earlier than usual.

In fact, they can also eat first, but Ji Shaobei only came back once a week, and the family always wanted to have a happy ending.

The man's footsteps were fast, this time they didn't wait long, there was a noise outside the courtyard gate, Ji Shaobei came back.

He was still wearing the military overcoat, with an old military green cloth bag on his back, and when he strode through the door, he was resolute, steady, like a gust of wind.

Gu Jinyao greeted her from the kitchen, "I'm back."

Ji Shaobei looked at her, stopped in his footsteps, "Yes."

"I boiled hot water, put down my things and wash my face and hands." Gu Jinyao said.

"it is good."

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

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

"sister?"

The woman sitting at the table was wearing a blue padded jacket with shoulder-length hair. Apart from her expression, she looked not much different from ordinary people, and was even cleaner and tidy than a woman who had to work all day.

If it wasn't for the shadow in his memory, Ji Shaobei would have no way to connect the person in front of him with Ji Lan.

How many years have passed?

It's been five years!
Yes, Ji Lan has been insane for five years.

In the past five years, Ji Shaobei would go to see her when he returned to the village on vacation. When the Lu family heard the news of his return to the village, they would make a special trip to tidy up her, and when he passed by, they could barely see her.

In fact, Ji Shaobei knew what kind of life his sister lived in Lu's house. She was extremely dirty and lived like a beggar.

In the past, he was also planning to retire 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, and hide in the corner of Lu's house, unwilling to leave with him at all.

For this cousin, Ji Shaobei felt helpless in his heart.

Ji Lan didn't go to Lu's house until she was 15 years old. When she was a child, she brought him up with a strong sibling relationship. When she grew up, she lived a difficult life, but he couldn't do anything.

Looking back, regarding Ji Lan, he blamed himself very much.

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.
