Chapter 13 Where Are You Going?
The night is already deep, and there is silence everywhere, and the moonlight is lonely and deserted.

Su Mo raised her head and looked at the brightest star in the night sky, with a flash of nostalgia in her eyes.

After a busy day, all parts of his body were sore, Su Mo yawned, and didn't even have the desire to count the large pot of copper coins he got from selling wild boars.

When she walked back into the house, the three children were already asleep.

Gu Ping'an was lying on his side and sleeping in it, with a gentle sleep, and Gu Xingnian in the middle was lying in big characters, with saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Gu Jinnian at the side was curled up, holding the hem of Gu Xingnian's clothes with his hands, frowning slightly, as if he would wake up every moment.

Three children, three sleeping positions.

Su Mo walked over lightly, sat on the edge of the bed and took off her shoes, then lay down on the empty part of the bed, and fell asleep.

Developing habits in the last days is indelible, Su Mo didn't sleep soundly, and opened his eyes when the sky was getting dark.

The three children hadn't woken up yet, Su Mo groped to get up, and there were several willow trees growing well not far from the small courtyard, she went to break the willow branches and came back.

I chose a root to rinse my mouth, and put the rest on the table, waiting for the three children to wake up.

The sun had already risen, according to Yuan's memory, there would be an ox cart in the village to go to the county at about [-]:[-], if he missed it, he would have to walk by himself.

The road is not short, and it takes an hour to get there. If you can take a bullock cart, you naturally don't want to go.

Su Mo went to the kitchen, quickly washed the rice and started a fire, and cooked the last bowl of rice left over from yesterday into half a pot of thick rice porridge.

Then I scooped some sugar down with a spoon, stirred it gently with a spatula, and the sweet rice porridge was done.

There were still sparks in the stove, so Su Mo covered the pot and went to the bedroom to get the three children up.

Just as he walked to the door, he saw three children walking outside, their clothes neatly arranged and their little hands arranging their hair.

Su Mo smiled and pointed to the willow branches on the table.

"I cooked the porridge, you take the willow branches, go to the kitchen with me, rinse your mouth and drink the porridge."

Almost everyone in the village used willow branches to purify their mouths. The three children didn't hesitate, and obediently picked up the willow branches and followed Su Mo.

Su Mo took three ceramic bowls, filled them with water, and put them within reach of the three children, and told them to rinse their mouths before taking the bowls to the living room to drink porridge.

He put the porridge in the pot into a large clay pot, covered the bowl, and carried them to the living room together.

The time was a bit tight, she didn't wait for the three children, she held the bowl by herself, and reckoned that she drank two bowls of porridge, not full, but enough.

She put down the bowl, went into the bedroom, found out the one thousand copper coins that she hid yesterday, poured them into a cloth bag, and poured in the money from yesterday's butcher sale.

She changed her mind. The house is too simple and there are too many things to buy. Now that she has made some money, she can buy them all at once.

After all, if you can't get through now, how can you talk about the long-term.

When she was cleaning the kitchen yesterday, she saw a basket, washed it and hung it in the yard to dry, which would be used to hold copper plates.

Gu Ping'an and Gu Xingnian were immersed in the sweet rice porridge, and did not pay too much attention to Su Mo.

Gu Jinnian, on the other hand, did not forget to look around vigilantly while drinking porridge. When he found that Su Mo came out with a basket on his back, a trace of coldness appeared in his dark eyes.

"Where are you going!"

It was Gu Jinnian who took the initiative to talk to Su Mo, with a gloomy and angry tone.

Sure enough, this woman had malicious intentions and used sweet rice porridge to confuse them so that she could leave with the money.

Hearing Gu Jinnian's voice, Gu Pingan raised his head, and after seeing Su Mo's attire, he subconsciously panicked, and his dark face turned pale with fright.

Mother, is this... are you going to abandon them again?
Only Gu Xingnian ate the last sip of porridge carelessly, got off the chair, walked over, and tilted his head like a curious baby.

"Mother, where are you going?"

Su Mo rubbed the top of her head, looked at Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian, and patiently explained: "There is no rice at home, mother went to the county to buy some."

Gu Xingnian blinked, and she also wanted to go. She remembered that Qingzhou told her that there were many delicious and interesting things in the county, but she had never been there.

Gu Jinnian didn't believe it, he snorted slightly, and watched coldly, to see what else this woman would say to fool them.

Gu Ping'an's expression softened a lot, but there was still some suspicion in his eyes: "Really?"

Su Mo nodded.

Gu Pingan was a little hesitant, the sweet taste of rice porridge still remained in his mouth, he thought about it, and asked cautiously: "Then...then I will go too.

I have great strength and can help you lift things. "

He went to stare, should be all right?

His eyes gradually became firm, Su Mo didn't have time to answer, Gu Xingnian's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "I'm going too, I'm going too."

After finishing speaking, afraid that Su Mo would not like it, he raised his hand and patted his own small chest: "Xing Nian can also help my mother with that thing!"

Su Mo smiled. She knelt down and hugged Gu Xingnian.

"All right, all go."

They went, just in case they didn't have to worry about getting their clothes the wrong size.

Gu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth raised, and he followed Su Mo.

Su Mo looked at Gu Jinnian and asked with a smile, "Is Jinnian going?"

Gu Jinnian stared at Su Mo viciously, drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, and got off the chair.

"go with!"

Why not go, he is going to watch, the province's elder brother and younger sister were cheated by this woman.

In this way, the original one-person trip became a four-person trip.

When the four arrived at the entrance of the village, the ox cart was about to leave.

Su Mo hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute..."

She hugged Gu Xingnian and quickened her pace. At the same time, she still didn't forget to turn her head and say to Gu Ping'an and his brothers:

"Mother go over and stop the bullock cart first."

In fact, she didn't need to go after him, the people in the ox cart heard the sound, looked back, and when they saw the person, they stopped the ox cart.

"Isn't this the Su family? You are?"

The woman sitting at the rear of the car looked at Su Mo with a smile, and was a little surprised to see her holding Gu Xingnian in her arms.

Su Mo looked over and saw that she was Chen Cihai's daughter-in-law, surnamed Wang and named Taoqing, who was as warm-hearted as her husband-in-law.

She smiled and put Gu Xingnian on the gap in the car, and explained: "There is no rice at home. I sold wild boars to save some money yesterday, so I thought about going to the county to buy them."

Suddenly, Wang Taoqing saw the two brothers Gu Pingan rushing over, she moved to the side, and said with a smile: "Hurry up."

There were not many people sitting in the bullock cart, there were men and women, and they all looked over when they heard the movement, and their eyes were quite kind.

Su Mo smiled back, carried Gu Pingan and Gu Jinnian into the bullock cart, and then sat up on it himself.

The oxcart is two Wen per person, including pick-up and delivery. It was bought by Chen and Wang as a partnership. Each person works for one day, and the money is divided equally.

After Su Mo sat on it, he handed over the fare he had prepared, and the driver happily accepted it. Then, with a flick of the whip, the wheels rolled and dust flew up.

Gu Xingnian was completely covered in Wang Taoqing's arms.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Su Mo surrounded Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian, and his wide sleeves blocked the dust from rising.

When the dust fell to the ground, Su Mo withdrew his hand and looked ahead.

Gu Jinnian looked at her dusty sleeves, his eyes paused, and his heart moved...
