Chapter 6
There was no water in the kitchen, so Su Mo coaxed Gu Xingnian, walked over to pick up the wooden bucket and pole, and prepared to fill the water tank.

Gu Xingnian stood aside and watched, blinked his eyes, stretched out his arms and said, "I'm going too, I'm going too."

Su Mo rejected her. The well was made of bluestone slabs, and the water fell on it, which was very slippery. This body is very weak, and she didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to Gu Xingnian when carrying water. If she fell, the consequences would be serious. Unbelievable.

Gu Xingnian was visibly disappointed.

Su Mo thought for a while, then raised her finger to the east room.

"Xingnian is good, mother has a task for you, find a way to get your second brother to eat, okay?"

Gu Xingnian raised her head sharply, her small face was like the sky, it was cloudy just now, but now it is sunny.

"it is good!"

Gu Xingnian patted her small chest, and then walked out with high spirits. It was the first time her mother ordered her to do well.

Su Mo looked at Gu Xingnian's appearance and couldn't help smiling. She shook her head, picked up two wooden barrels on a shoulder pole, and went to fetch water.

I don't know how Gu Xingnian did it. When Su Mo came back from carrying water for the last time, he saw Gu Jinnian standing at the door of the kitchen with a dark face and an empty bowl, and beside him stood Gu Xingnian with a bright smile on his face and Gu Pingan shyly smiled.

Gu Xingnian trotted over and surrounded Su Mo with sparkling eyes.

"Mother~ Xingnian did it."

With her waist slightly on her back, Su Mo walked in carrying water, and then poured the water into the water tank. The water tank was finally filled, and she closed the wooden lid, and boasted: "We have a great New Year!"

Gu Xingnian covered her mouth and snickered.

Gu Pingan looked at it with some envy, and he also wanted his mother to praise him so much.

Gu Jinnian lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and a glimmer of inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, and his fingers holding the bowl and chopsticks slightly exerted force.

Su Mo looked over, her eyes fell on the bowls and chopsticks in the hands of the two, she pointed to the water tank, and said: "There is a spoon on the water tank, use the spoon to scoop water, wash the dishes and put them in the cabinet."

After all, no matter how the two children reacted, they picked up Gu Xingnian and left.

Subconsciously, Gu Jinnian wanted to rush over to let her put down his sister, but seeing the smile on Gu Xingnian's face, he lowered his head and walked to the water tank.

Su Mo went back to her room and put Gu Xingnian on the bed.

It was the first time for Gu Xingnian to come to this room. Standing on the bed, she felt strange about everything.

The little hands touched left and right, thanks to the fact that her hands weren't very dirty, and Su Mo didn't have a cleanliness habit.

Su Mo was counting her belongings. She must have had money if she could go to the county town to buy food. Based on her memory, she searched through all the places where money was hidden, and finally put it together.

The money is not much, it is all copper plates, counted twice, a total of more than 1000 and 120 three.

A thousand copper plates are equivalent to one tael of silver, which is converted to one tael of silver plus 120 three Wen.

In addition, there is a silver hairpin, an iron token, and those exquisite furniture in the room.

The silver hairpin is a token of love that Gu Dalang gave to Yuanshen. These furniture were custom-made when the two got married. Yuanshen sold everything that could be sold and kept them. Su Mo naturally would not touch them. .

As for the token, it was a token left by the original father.

At the beginning, there was a severe drought in the north, and there was no grain harvest. When the famine broke out, people were panicked.

Although Emperor Jingyong ordered the opening of warehouses to release grain, he also ordered to transfer 80 taels of silver from the treasury for disaster relief, but this was just a drop in the bucket for the people in famine.

Not to mention that after layers of escorts, when the 80 taels of silver arrived at the place, it was already less than one-third.

The people were miserable, but the king sat on the high dragon chair, and what he saw and heard was nothing but the news reported by the ministers after selection.

The king is still thankful for saving the people in time, but he doesn't know that there are "vegetable people" who are divided into three, six, and nine classes in the famine.

The original body's father, Su Yuanwai, was keenly aware of the crisis, quickly packed up his money, prepared enough dry food, and took care of the store at home, then drove the carriage overnight and left with the original body.

Su Yuanwai had already heard the news, and knew that the official roads leaving Jinzhou had been controlled by officers and soldiers. Anyone who approached would be shot on the spot to prevent anyone from escaping and suing imperial court.

Ever since, member Su took his original body across mountains and ridges, and walked down the path all the way south. In addition to avoiding the officers and soldiers searching the path, they also had to prevent those who eat "vegetables" from being discovered.

Hiding in Tibet, and traveling long distances, Rao's iron body can't bear it.

The two of them managed to reach Fuzhou, which is the closest to the south, Yuanwai Su's footsteps were already shaky, his eyes were bloodshot, his father had been taking care of him all the way, but he was in good condition.

It's just that the surging river blocked the way of the two of them. Seeing that the officers and soldiers were coming soon, Yuan Wai sent Yuan to the boat swaying by the river, stuffed the remaining bank notes and tokens into Yuan, and then went to Push it in the river.

In the end, Su Yuanwai was shot and fell on the riverside, holding the token in her original body. The boat was overturned by the river, and she was sucked into the river, flowed down the river, and merged into the sea, where she was caught by Gu Dalang who went fishing. save.

It's not that Yuanshen has never thought of going back to her hometown, but she is a weak woman. The money her father gave her was swept away by the river, and only this token is left on her body. She is penniless, how can she go there?

But Gu Dalang has a lot of preference for her, and it seems to be a matter of course, the two got married, and even set up a tomb and tablet for Su Yuanwai in Luoshan Village.

After getting married, Gu Dalang once offered to go to Yuanshen's hometown together, but Yuanshen was pregnant and was not allowed to travel long distances.

This matter was abandoned again. In the year when Hou Yuan was pregnant with Gu Jinnian, the truth about the severe drought in the north finally became known to the world. The anger of the emperor killed millions of corpses. All the officials in the Jinzhou government were exchanged blood, and a large number of officials in Beijing were beheaded. .

After Yuanchen heard the news, he was very excited and gave birth to Gu Jinnian that day.

After Gu Jinnian was one year old, Yuan Bo returned to his hometown with Gu Dalang with his father's tablet. Unfortunately, not long after leaving Luoshan Village, he was diagnosed with pregnancy again, and the two had no choice but to return the same way.

Not to mention what happened after that, on the day of Gu Xingnian's full moon, Gu Dalang and his original parents-in-law passed away...

Su Mo's fingertips lightly stroked the surface of the token. This token is equivalent to an invisible asset.

It's just that time has passed, and it's hard to say whether those people will recognize it. If they go there like this, there is a possibility that they will never return.

Su Mo looked away and put the token back in place.

The more than 1000 copper plates were a bit heavy, and Su Mo didn't plan to take them all at once. She took the change and stuffed the copper plates directly into the cabinet.

Gu Xingnian was watching on the bed, looking at the copper plate in Su Mo's hand, blinking his eyes, hey, there is money.

Sucking...Chen Qingzhou from the village bought candied haws with a penny, and gave her one. It was delicious.

Gu Xingnian's eyes were too hot, Su Mo looked over and saw that the corners of her mouth were drooling, shook her head, and handed over a copper coin.

"want to?"

Gu Xingnian nodded and swallowed: "You can buy candied haws, it's delicious..."

"Then take it."

Su Mo stuffed the money into Gu Xingnian's hands, and he could not refuse.

Gu Xingnian's eyes lit up, he opened his arms to hug Su Mo, and smacked her face.

"Thank you mother, mother is so kind!"

Sticky saliva was stained on her cheeks, Su Mo was slightly startled, the ice in her heart melted slightly, this feeling is quite good...
