Space peasant girl: mother dressed as three oil bottles

Chapter 26 Going to visit my uncle

Mrs. Shao had a miserable life. She lost her husband in her early years, and in her later years she had to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man.So she has already trained herself to be an iron wall, and she likes to bury everything in her heart.

However, something was hidden in her heart, she said she was full without eating much, and went back to the house.

Gu Li and the triplets cleaned up the dishes together, then let them play in the yard, dried their hands, and went to the room.

Clothes materials and needlework were placed on the bed, but Mrs. Shao was nowhere to be seen.

After thinking about it, she went to Mrs. Shao's previous room again.

Sure enough, the old lady sat by the bed blankly, half of her body was almost hidden in the darkness.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Gu Li really didn't like such a lifeless old lady Shao.In her impression, this old lady has always been strong and optimistic even though she has been hit hard by life.

"Gu Li, mother is fine."

Mrs. Shao squeezed out a smile, but it was very reluctant.

Gu Li quietly sat beside her, then took her hand and said: "Mother, now we are dependent on each other and support this family. What else do you have to say to me? Could it be that you still care about my past life?" What you did, you don't want to treat me as your own family?"

As soon as she heard her say this, Mrs. Shao immediately became anxious, "No, I never regarded you as an outsider. I just couldn't make up my mind."

"Since you can't make up your mind, you might as well speak out, and I will help you as a staff member."

"Alas~" Mrs. Shao sighed, and then slowly began to speak.

It turned out that someone came to the house this morning. It was Fang Xiaokang, the nephew of Mrs. Shao who had never met.

Mrs. Shao's real name is Fang Zhi, and she has an older brother, Fang Bi.

When I was young, my family was poor, and it happened to be a famine year. My parents left the only rations left in the family to my brothers and sisters, but I was starved to death.In order to survive, the brothers and sisters fled to Shaojiazhuang with the fleeing people.But Mrs. Shao didn't expect that her brother sold herself to Mr. Shao's family as a child bride-in-law, and then left.

Although the old Shao family treated her well, she eventually married Mr. Shao, but the other party must always have resentment in her heart.

Fang Bi hadn't heard from him for many years, but he suddenly appeared on the day Mr. Shao passed away to offer his condolences.

Mrs. Shao directly shut the person out, bluntly saying that she didn't know him.Even the things he brought with him were thrown out.

Later, Fang Bi sent someone to send a letter, saying that he had settled in the town, and hoped that Mrs. Shao would be free to meet her.

But even if she went to the town, she never went to his house.

Yesterday Fang Xiaokang personally came to the door to beg, hoping that she could meet his father.Fang Bi has been lingering and sick for more than several years, and the situation is not optimistic.

Fang Xiaokang also brought the red headband that she had braided when she was young, which Fang Bi kept on her chest all these years.

Mrs. Shao broke down in tears when she said this,
"Gu Li, it's not that I don't want to see my brother, I'm just a little scared. I'm afraid this will be the last time we meet. If I don't go see, will my brother still live in my heart?"

"Go and see uncle, mother!"

Gu Li looked into her eyes and said seriously: "If you want to see it, go, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Mrs. Shao nodded with a sob: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Soon, Gu Li went to the village to call for a waiting carriage.

San Xiao only looked at grandma's red eyes, and knew that something must have happened, so she was very obedient and didn't make any noise.

"Da Mao, you stay at home and take good care of your brother!"

After repeatedly admonishing the triplets, Gu Li specifically explained to Da Mao, who was the calmest.

Da Mao nodded, his little face crumpled tightly.

Until the carriage carrying Gu Li and Mrs. Shao started to move, Da Mao suddenly chased forward, waving his hands vigorously,
"Mother, don't worry, we will wait for you and grandma to come back obediently at home!"

When Gu Li saw it, he hurriedly shouted, "Big Mao, stop and be careful not to fall."

Da Mao obediently stood where he was, and Er Mao and San Mao also ran to stand beside Da Mao.The three of them did not move forward.

Looking at the three black spots that are getting smaller and smaller, Gu Li's nose is sore.For the first time in my life, I have the concern of being a parent.

"Da Mao is a good boy."

"Ok, I know."

Fang Bi's house is in the easternmost part of the town, a small two-story attic built against the courtyard wall.In fact, the houses in that area are already very old. Even though they are in the town, they are far from the spaciousness and comfort of the rural yards.

Judging by the scene, it must be that this uncle's life is not satisfactory.

The door was ajar, Gu Li pulled the old lady Shao who was at a loss, and pushed it away: "Is anyone there?"

"Who is it!"

A clear female voice came to mind, and then a young woman in plain clothes came out.

"You are?"

"This is my mother, Fang Zhi."

Gu Li only said these few words, and the young woman immediately showed surprise on her face, and immediately shouted inside.

"Xiaokang, come on, aunt is here!"

As soon as the words fell, a tall young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came out. It was the young man who went to Lao Shao's house in the morning.

"Aunt, you are here, please come in."

Fang Xiaokang was no stranger, he went straight up to support Mrs. Shao and carried her inside.

A coughing old boy came from the room: "Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi..."

When Mrs. Shao heard this, her footsteps suddenly became urgent.

The young woman smiled and said, "Hi sister-in-law, I am Xiaokang's daughter-in-law Zhuang Qing."

"Well, hello, I'm Gu Li."

"I know, you are the second brother's daughter-in-law. My father-in-law told us all about it."

Zhuang Qing's attitude is very natural, it doesn't make people feel abrupt at all, she treats people warmly and politely, and Gu Li's affection for her instantly rises.

While talking, the two came to the door of the room.

This small attic is not very spacious. Apart from Fang Bi's room on the first floor, there is barely a side hall separated by a few desks and chairs that look old.

From this point of view, Fang Xiaokang and his wife should live upstairs.

Fang Bi is now half lying on the bed, holding Mrs. Shao's hand tightly.Old Mrs. Shao was sitting on the small stool beside the bed, tears in her eyes.Fang Xiaokang next to him was almost leaning against the corner of the wall.

Gu Li and Zhuang Qing couldn't get in at all.

Fang Bi's complexion was obviously not good, his lips were dark and purple, his face was thin and fleshless, only his eyes were still shining with excitement.

"Uncle, I'm Gu Li."

Hearing the movement, the eyes of several people were all focused on the door, Gu Li could only bite the bullet and say hello.

"Good boy, thank you for bringing your mother here."

"It's my mother who wants to come. She has been thinking about uncle very much these years."

Gu Li deliberately gave Mrs. Shao a step down, and then winked at Zhuang Qing.

Zhuang Qing is also a smart person, and immediately said: "I think my aunt has a lot to say to my father-in-law. Xiaokang, you go and prepare some tea, and we will wait outside. Don't disturb their brothers and sisters talking about the old days."

"Okay. Aunt, Dad, I'm outside, just call me if you need anything."

After speaking, he left the room and closed the door thoughtfully.
