Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 140
After a while, Gu Dan finally said, "Xiaoying took her to take a hot bath and put on new clothes."

Without letting this topic continue, Gu Dan cut it off directly.

Xiaoying nodded blankly, took the little girl's hand and walked to the inner room, Xun Ke also followed, helping to prepare hot water.

Aunt Li lowered her head, wiped away the tears on her face, and said with a smile: "Actually, these few days have been a little sad. The things in the house can be sold, and all the money owed have been repaid. Being a human being , the last thing we like is to owe others something.

We know that you are capable. The owner of the ink shop at your place before is the Mozi that those people outside are talking about, right?Everyone said he was like a saint! "

She took a peek at Lin Xiaoyi, seeing that the expression on Lin Xiaoyi's face hadn't changed in any way, she just continued, "We don't know what a saint is. We've heard about what he did, and brought a group of People went to kill the leader of the bandits, he was really a real hero!

He is still busy helping Yuzhou defend the city, we have heard of it too!When the neighbors mentioned him, they all felt radiant on their faces. You are his friend, and you must be the same kind of person.

This matter in our family will pass after a while.People like you are different from us. You must be doing big things. It’s okay if we can’t help you. How can we come here to make trouble for you again?Although we haven't read many books, we also understand the principles of life. "

There was an unexpected firmness in the extremely simple voice.

Aunt Li held Gu Dan's hand, and said very sincerely: "The child's mother is going to take us back to her mother's house today. The hardest days are over, and the rest is nothing. We didn't want to upset you any more. Yes, I just heard Cang's child cry. I thought about it and came to apologize to you, don't blame Cang, it's my child who doesn't live up to it, Cang has a kind heart, a good child with a kind heart."

Gu Dan looked at her quietly.

He actually didn't know much about Aunt Li.

All I know is that Aunt Li suffered hardships in the early years, and later when the child flourished, she was brought from her hometown to the imperial capital to enjoy the blessings.

But the old man can't be idle, even if he is not short of money, he still has to find something to do for himself to be at ease, so he opened a steamed stuffed bun shop later, and he didn't want to make money, just refused to be idle.

Now that the family wealth is gone, but the backbone of her body has not been removed.

As she said, the most difficult time has been passed, and today I will go back to my hometown. How much relief do I need?

She just wants to return to the beginning with decades of face and persistence.

Gu Dan held the cold, thin and rough palm, patted it lightly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "You are right."

Aunt Li had a heartfelt smile on her face.

On the flushed and wrinkled face that was clearly frozen, the smile appeared a bit dazzling.

It was no longer the embarrassing smile of shame, humility, and embarrassment. It seemed to be back to the smiling face when I occasionally met him on the road a few years ago when everything was fine at home and the war outside had not yet started.

Throwing away all belongings was the last thing she could hold on to.

Now, this thing has not been left behind after all.

Compared with the dejected and trembling before, this smile is extraordinarily sincere, and the original hunched spine is straightened again.

Gu Dan changed the subject, and said again: "However, Cang that little bastard is not what you think, don't be fooled by him. He yelled louder than anyone else before the slap landed on his ass. Fierce. Those who don’t know think they have suffered some great injustice! If you want me to say, he just doesn’t want to study, and deliberately thinks of ways to burn books.”

"Kids, I don't always like to suffer. Cang is young, and he doesn't understand the value of reason. After a few years, when he grows up, he will understand the benefits of reading." Aunt Li answered. .

"That's not necessarily true. A child has a personality. Cang is a restless person. He looks around for trouble every three days. It doesn't feel comfortable if he doesn't get a beating. Some time ago, Xun Ke was reading while eating, and that kid dared to go to him. Pour ink into the bowl."

"Cang is quite courageous. However, speaking of Xun Ke, he has almost reached the age where he should be married? There are several families of the right age in Ning'an Square, and they have asked us about it. Son!

Although we are old and our eyes are useless, our ability to recognize people has not yet fallen. Those families are not right-hearted. Don't listen to their nagging, they are not a good match. "

"That's right! When it comes to neighbors' ability to recognize people, no one dares to say that they are more accurate than Aunt Li. I will remember what you said. If Xun Ke can't pass the beauty test later, I will give his legs to him." interrupt."

The two of you talk to each other and I talk to each other, just like neighbors meeting each other on the side of the road. When they have free time, they chat casually about family affairs, and sometimes they don’t forget to scold the younger generation. Disappointing stuff.

Occasionally, there was a crackling sound of charcoal crackling in the stove, and the atmosphere in the hut also relaxed. The four walls sheltered a warm place, isolating the wind, snow and cold outside.

The conversation between Gu Dan and Aunt Li had turned to Xun Ke, and they were still talking about marriage. Most of the time, Aunt Li was talking and Gu Dan was listening.

Aunt Li would occasionally mention a few unlucky families after marriage, or talk about who had daughters of the right age. She didn't comment on the behavior of those girls, but just told Gu Dan to pay more attention to Xun Ke.

The old man has seen a lot of things in his life, and he deeply understands that two people who are on the right side can be happy together. He still reminds Gu Dan that if Xun Ke doesn't like him, don't force him. It shouldn't be a problem to find a problem by yourself.

While chatting, the door of the inner room opened.

Xiaoying walked out with her daughter.

The little girl just took a bath, she looked much fairer, and she changed into the thick cotton padded clothes that Xun Ke bought not long ago. She was wrapped up like a small rice dumpling. cute.

Xiaoying tidied up the unwashed hair that had fallen wantonly, and hung it down behind her back.

"Come and dry your hair, you must dry your hair after taking a shower in winter, otherwise you will easily get sick!"

Xiaoying brought the little girl back to the stove again, stretched out her hands to hold her black hair, taking advantage of the heat of the stove to steam the hair that had been brushed several times, but still had moisture left.

The little girl sat beside her obediently, and suddenly looked honest and cute, like a porcelain doll.

Gu Dan also leaned over, reached out and pinched the little girl's fleshless face, the little girl's face turned rosy just after taking a bath, and she showed a pure smile to him.

"Uncle taught you how to sing?"

Gu Dan squatted in front of her and asked.

"Can uncle sing too?"

The little girl's eyes lit up.

"Of course! But you may not have heard the songs sung by uncle, but they are easy to learn!"

Gu Dan cleared his throat and said, "Come on, I'll sing a line and you learn a line."

"Okay!"

The little girl nodded, looking quite expectant.

"Only a mother is good in the world, and a child with a mother is like a treasure."

Gu Dan began to teach her to sing word by word.

Of course, he didn't specifically learn the rhythm of this era, so he picked up one of the most familiar nursery rhymes to teach her.

The lyrics are naturally catchy, easy to understand, and there is no difficulty at all.

Lin Xiaoyi turned her head sideways, watching Gu Dan earnestly teach the little girl to sing.

Based on her experience, this song is of course not very good.

Compared with the ballads compiled by the musicians in the palace, it is not 01:30. It sounds neither grand nor grand, and the lyrics are so simple and straightforward that they lack a kind of elegance and harmony. Charm.

And the tune is very strange, not only different from the mainstream singing, but also not as strong and extremely emotional expression as folk tunes.

The simple lyrics and ordinary singing voice tell the simple but sincere truth.

It is not difficult to learn.

It didn't take long before the little girl clapped her hands and shouted excitedly: "Uncle, I have learned it!"

As he spoke, he couldn't wait to sing: "Only a mother is good in the world, and a child with a mother is like a treasure."

The innocent and childish voice sang this song with a special charm.

Anyway, it sounds much more pleasing to the ear than Gu Dan's singing.

While singing, he suddenly heard a woman's voice calling from outside the yard.

"Naughty? Mother-in-law? I'm back, where are you?"

The person who came to fetch them arrived.

"mom!"

Hearing the sound, the little girl immediately jumped off the chair, ran out the door happily, and shouted: "Mom, I'm here!"

Not long after Nannan's voice came out, a woman who looked to be in her twenties ran in. Before she had time to speak, she couldn't help but shed two lines of tears, and rushed forward to hold her She was in her arms.

"Ninny, mommy is here, mommy is here!"

The woman seemed to be rubbing her into her arms, her voice trembling.

"Mom don't cry, don't cry!"

Nannan stretched out her hand anxiously, wiped the tears on her face, and said in a coaxing tone, "Mom, I just learned a song from my uncle! Can I sing it to you?"

"Okay, okay! It's good that the girl is here, it's good that the girl is here."

The woman was crying and laughing, and finally noticed the few people who came out, quickly wiped the tears off her face, and forced out a not-so-good-looking smile.

It's just that when her eyes touched Aunt Li, the tears she had finally stopped could not help but flow down again, and she tremblingly said, "Mother-in-law, I'm late."

Aunt Li looked at her, with a kind smile on her old and withered face, and said, "It's good to come, it's not too late, not too late."

"Only a mother is good in the world, and a child with a mother is like a treasure."

The little girl began to sing in her mother's arms.
