After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 54

On the bullock cart going back at noon, there was only Su Mo besides Chen Yuanhai, which was quite clean.

The sun along the way was covered by clouds, and the wind blew past from time to time. Su Mo raised her eyebrows and glanced at the dark clouds in the sky from the corner of her eye.

Chen Yuanhai sent the village head to the county government office yesterday, and after listening to it, he knew that the improvement of the land was on the agenda, so he would cheerfully send Su Mo to the Gu family's old house.

"Sister-in-law of the Gu family, here we are."

He stopped the bullock cart and looked at those things.

"Shall I help you take it in?"

"No need, I'll ask Ping An and they will come out and get it."

Su Mo smiled and refused.

There are many disputes in front of widows. Although Chen Yuanhai is only 17 years old, in this world, he has already reached the age of marrying a wife and having children.

"OK, then I'll go first."

Chen Yuanhai watched Su Mo pick up the things, replied with a smile, and then slapped the cow's butt with a whip.

Su Mo watched the ox cart leave, then stood at the door and shouted inside: "Ping An, Jin Nian, Xing Nian, come out and help your mother get things."

"Mother is back!"

When Gu Ping'an and Gu Xingnian heard the movement, they immediately dropped the paper and ran outside.

Gu Jinnian also put down his books and followed behind.

Gu Xingnian ran slowly, seeing that he was falling behind, his mouth was pouted, and he was a little unhappy.

Gu Jinnian, who was catching up to her, noticed it, and immediately slowed down, raised his hand to hold Gu Xingnian: "Brother will walk with you."

Gu Xingnian suddenly smiled.

The siblings walked out holding hands, and Gu Pingan was already helping Su Mo pick up the bamboo basket.

Gu Xingnian heard the chirping sound, blinked her eyes, let go of Gu Jinnian's hand and moved closer.

"Mom, what is calling?"

"Mother bought some chicks and ducklings back."

Su Mo smiled and pointed to the bamboo basket, then took out the candied haws and handed it to Gu Xingnian.

"Here, you and your brothers each have one, take it in quickly."

The candied haws were wrapped in oiled paper, but the sweet taste couldn't be stopped at all. Gu Xingnian's eyes were attracted, he swallowed, and took the three candied haws with his slightly fleshy hands.

"Thank you mother~"

Gu Xingnian thanked obediently, and then Sa Yazi ran into the living room, climbed up the chair, but put the candied haws on the table, waiting for the brothers to eat together.

Su Mo put the chicks and ducklings next to the shed in the courtyard, separated a closed space with wooden boards, put the chickens and ducks in, and sprinkled some rice husks.

Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian put the vegetables, old hen and eggs in the kitchen.

Su Mo walked into the kitchen, scooped up water to wash his hands, and glanced at the two children from the corner of his eye.

"Hurry up and eat the candied haws. It's hot, so don't leave them for long."

After eating candied haws, I don’t want to eat so quickly, so I can get some bamboo and weave a bamboo cage for chickens and ducks.

Su Mo didn't plan to raise the chicks and ducklings in the courtyard, otherwise there would be chicken droppings and duck droppings everywhere, which would stink.

Get a bamboo cage, just like raising chickens and ducks at home when you were young, let the chickens and ducks out for food at dawn, put them in the cage when it gets dark, and then carry them into the house to avoid being stolen.

Recalling the scene when she followed her mother to drive the chickens and ducks into the cage when she was young, the corners of Su Mo's mouth raised unconsciously, and a warm look appeared in her eyes.

It was a rare and short moment of warmth between her and her mother before the end of the world.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Su Mo's expression calmed down, he washed the rice and started a fire, and slowly steamed the rice over a low fire.

Then I went up the mountain to cut some bamboos, split them into thin strips, and weaved a bamboo cage according to the instructions in the Complete Book of Carpentry, like a horizontal cylinder, with one side empty, and found a hemp rope to fix a bamboo woven board, like a door that can be opened and closed at will. .

Gu Xingnian sat by the side and watched Su Mo tie the rope, and there was still some sugar stains on the side of his mouth.

She propped her chin with her hand, savoring the sweetness and sourness of candied haws. A few sparrows flapped their wings and landed in the courtyard. Glancing over from the corner of her eye, she suddenly thought of the big characters taught by Gu Jinnian.

The sea salty river is pale, scales submerged and feathered.

Gu Xingnian tilted her head and asked, "Mother, why is sea water salty and river water fresh?

Why do fish swim in water, but birds fly in the sky? "

Su Mo who tied the knot: "???"

You ask me who am I asking?

After Su Mo turned eight years old, the world became the end of the world.

Although the original owner was taught by a female son, what she taught was "Female Precepts", "Female Training" and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so how could she know such academic things?
Just noticing Gu Xingnian's expectant eyes, Su Mo was silent, thought for a while, and said flickeringly:
"Everything in the world has its own destiny. The heaven and the earth match each other, and it is due to fate."

This is the content of an old-fashioned tape recorder she found in the last days. It is usually used before going to bed. The mixed and matched Buddhist scriptures are paired with ethereal and indifferent voices, which quickly relaxes her tense spirit and then falls asleep peacefully.

And the general meaning of this passage is that many things, many rules are arranged by God.

Gu Xingnian scratched her head, but didn't understand.

"what does it mean?"

Su Mo was serious: "You learn to read well with your brother. When you grow up and have a certain amount of knowledge and insight, you will understand."

Gu Xingnian seemed to understand, but kept Su Mo's words firmly in his heart.

May is hot and humid, and many people say it is like steaming.

The sky was dark and cloudy, but it still couldn't cover the sun's heat, and there was no wind in the sweltering heat.

Su Mo stood up and went into the kitchen.

It was too hot, and the children didn't have much appetite. Fortunately, Su Mo had the foresight to cook less than half a bowl of rice.

For Su Mo, who came from the end of the world, it is shameful to waste food. It is so hot that if the food is left at night, it should be spoiled.

After eating, I sent the three children back to take a nap, while I picked up the hoe and thought about turning over the land on both sides of the yard.

Su Mo didn't plan to make too much land, just plant enough to eat. She brandished a hoe and dug from the east.

The air became more and more dull. After digging the last bit of land, Su Mo was already sweating.

It was too late to enter the house, and a violent storm mixed with the smell of tide swept over.

Different from the heart-piercing rain on the eve of Su Mo's return from Huzhou, this rain was more like a gift from heaven.

The raindrops crackled on the tiles, washing away the heat of these days.

A cool breeze blew by, bringing with it a refreshing coolness.

Su Mo hurried into the yard with the hoe, put the hoe under the shed, and entered the living room next to the eaves.

The rain and sweat are intertwined, and the body is wet.

Walking lightly into the bedroom, Gu Xingnian, who was curled up on the canopy bed, was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.

She gently opened the closet, took a set of clean clothes, went out and walked under the eaves, put the clothes in the bathroom, then turned and went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water.

The wet clothes were tightly stuck to his body, even though the fire was burning in the stove, it didn't stop the coolness all over his body.

Especially in the lower abdomen, there was a faint pain.

Su Mo didn't think much about it. She thought she had caught a cold. As soon as the water was ready, she poured it into the wooden bucket and walked into the bathroom.

After taking a hot bath and changing into clean clothes, I felt much more comfortable. 258 thoughtfully asked the host if he needed to exchange for a packet of cold prevention medicine.

It's just that the words give people a feeling that they are about to be slaughtered by me, and they are rejected by Su Mo justly and sternly.

Su Mo believed in her physique, so she wouldn't catch a cold if she got caught in the rain.
