Chapter 24
Gu Lian cleaned the saw that was full of sawdust, and when she sent it back, she took a few persimmons back. These were unfinished persimmons picked on the mountain.

Xiu Niang did not dislike the persimmons in Gu Lian's hand. She also knew what happened to Gu Lian and the others. These days, she heard refugees passing by the edge of the town from time to time, and she was also worried in her heart. , I was afraid that those refugees would rush into the town, but fortunately there were soldiers guarding the town, and these refugees did not dare to really come here when they saw it.

"Thank you, ma'am, I'll return the saw to you. This is a freshly picked persimmon. There's nothing good about it. You take it." Gu Lian thanked with a smile. She might have to borrow this saw again in the future.

Seeing that Gu Lian is such a good person, Xiu Niang sighed that she is the daughter of Mr. Xiucai, and she does things properly.

"Where is it! I still like to eat persimmons the most. I don't see anyone selling persimmons on the street now. If you give me this today, I will be lucky." Xiuniang smiled with satisfaction and narrowed her eyes. I am even more happy that the top of the saw is wiped clean and there is no scratches.

"It is said that people who love fruits look juicy. Look at the appearance of my aunt, there is evidence. Her face is so juicy like a teenage girl." Here, persimmons and fruits are confused. Yes, but things like this are hard to find in winter.

Which woman doesn't like others to praise her beauty!Xiu Niang was so praised by Gu Lian that she held her face and smiled, and kept saying that Gu Lian was beautiful and handsome.

"You can really praise people with your mouth. If you want to use this saw again, you can borrow it from me." In a moment of joy, Xiu Niang also promised.

After Gu Lian heard her promise, she was naturally very happy. After parting, Xiu Niang was still a little reluctant to part, and after closing the door, Mrs. Wang was scooping the prepared chicken into the pottery bowl.

"Alian, come on, this is for Brother Tie, take it over here! I don't know if they have eaten at this time!"

Gu Lian took a bowl of meat to Brother Tie's house and knocked on the door. It was Brother Tie who opened the door. When he saw the bowl in Gu Lian's hand, his eyes lit up.

"Here, here is the chicken for you, take it back to the house, the bowl is also free for me, I have to take it home!" Seeing his greedy look, Gu Lian smiled and handed over the bowl.

When the Tie family couple saw Gu Lian coming, they quickly pulled her in, looked at the bowl full of chicken, and glared at their son who was not up to date, why are they so greedy!
"You caught this pheasant, why are you serving the meat here! You take this meat back, and we have something to eat at home!"

"It's all brought here. If there is any reason to bring it back, don't delay it. It is thanks to Brother Tie that the pheasant was caught. Brother Tie, hurry up!" Gu Lian didn't answer, and urged Brother Tie Empty the bowl quickly.

The Tie family couple had no choice but to take the empty bowl in Brother Tie's hand, put two sweet potatoes in it, and then watched Gu Lian go home.

"You, you, you don't know how to behave in front of A-Lian, silly son!" Liu Shi pointed to his son's forehead with a face full of hatred.

"Okay, don't even think about this marriage. Can A-Lian take a liking to our son's stupidity?" Uncle Tie didn't want to think about it anymore, and he just felt bad when he thought about it.

Brother Tie didn't know what his mother was talking about, he was just staring at the chicken on the table with all his heart and soul!How could he care about other things? Moreover, he never thought about A-Lian being his wife.

After returning home, the food was already on the table. Tonight I ate corn mush, there was a pot of pheasant meat, and the few steamed buns left over from yesterday were all on the table.

"Come back, sit down quickly and eat. You have gone up the mountain so early in the morning, and you must be starving now." Seeing her coming back, Wang quickly beckoned her to sit down, scooped up the corn mush with chopsticks In the bowl, it was served in front of Gu Lian sitting down.

Now their family only eats two meals in the morning and evening, and does not eat the meal at noon. After working for so long, their stomachs are already hungry. Because they eat two meals, dinner is particularly rich. There is no way. If they eat three meals, it is really If you can't afford it, even if you are hungry, you can only tighten your belt.

"I put those three eggs in the house, and we'll take them out and cook them when something good happens." Wang said with a smile.

Today I have chicken to eat, why would I still think about those three eggs, besides, good things can't be eaten at one time, they can be eaten several times!

After Gu Lizhi moved his chopsticks, other people started to eat with bowls one after another. The corn paste was very thin, but it still made people feel warm after eating it. It is supremely delicious, and the chicken soup is even more delicious.

It would be more delicious if you take this pheasant chicken and fry it, but the cheapest way to eat it now is to put it in the water and stew it directly, which will save fuel and trouble.

After a full meal, everyone lazily sat next to the stove with small stools to warm up the fire. There were more than one person in the small room, but it didn't feel so cold anymore. Gu Lizhi sat on the table by the window and rubbed his hands. Fingers start to copy the book, if you are faster today, you can hand in the book and get the money tomorrow.

The whole family was chatting lively in the house, and the coals in the stove were crackling. After dark, everyone washed up and went to sleep.

In the middle of the night, the cold wind was strong, and the window paper was blowing loudly. Gu Lian felt that one side was cold and the other side was warm. , Sleeping in such a state, she would wake up whenever there was some disturbance.

"A-Lian, A-Lian..." The voice suddenly became louder and softer, and it seemed even more erratic in the cold wind.

In the darkness, Gu Lian quickly jumped up from the bed, put on her clothes and braved the biting cold wind and ran to the next room. The lights were out of order, and she touched the fire folder on the table, and Gu Lian lit the lights in the room.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Gu Lian looked at her mother with loose hair, and looked at herself with a pale face.

Seeing her daughter coming, Wang's lost heart finally found the backbone, and she almost shed tears: "Alian, your father has a fever."

Surprised, Gu Lian hurried to the bed and touched her father's forehead with her hand. Then she developed a high fever, and the fever was not mild, even if she pushed him, there was no big reaction.

Gu Zhu and Gu Shu also ran over with their clothes on. When they heard that Gu Lizhi had a fever, they stood there in shock and did not dare to move. Although they felt unwell during the escape, they had not yet had a high fever.

"Sister, don't be in a daze. Hurry up and fetch water and apply it to daddy. I'll go find the doctor and come over to show daddy." Gu Lian didn't know what time it was, because it was too dark, and she couldn't see it with her hands. The state of five fingers.
