Chapter 59

Everyone put their chopsticks into the plate of rabbit meat and braised pork. At the end of the meal, their mouths were full of oil, but their hearts were filled with solidity. When the eating speed slowed down, the braised pork in the plate was gone. The small green vegetables were all eaten into the stomach, and there was only some oily soup left over from a whole rabbit.

"Sister, I still want to eat." Half a child eats me to death. Gu Shu has already had a huge appetite before this time. He took corn tortillas, poured rabbit soup on them, and gnawed several corns.

"Don't hold your belly up. If you really want to eat, we'll eat rabbit meat in a few days." Gu Lian was really afraid that he wouldn't know how full he was. If he ate too much, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Gu Shu grinned and shook his head with a grin. There was still half of the tortilla in his hand. In fact, he really didn't open his belly to eat. He knew that his food intake was a bit too big. The people in the family have no way to eat food.

"No, sister, I can eat it, but if you touch it, my stomach is still flat."

Gu Lian suddenly wanted to cry, she slapped Gu Shu, which made him turn around in a daze: "You silly boy, if you really eat so much, you can just ask your mother and sister to cook more. How can you be hungry every day at this time, eating too much is not a big deal, you are not afraid of starving yourself if you hold it like this every day."

She explained that she was not fleeing famine now, and her younger brother didn't seem to have gained weight at all, but was still so thin. It turned out that it was because he didn't have enough to eat.

It's also because they didn't notice, it's their adults' fault, they always judge him by the amount of food they used to eat, how could he think that after being hungry for such a long time, his stomach has become so hungry, and now he eats much more than them.

Wang couldn't help crying with her son in her arms. Although it wasn't heartbreaking, it always made the nose in the room feel sour, and she couldn't help clenching her hands into fists.

"Mom, it's okay. Actually, I'm full. I'm just a little greedy today." Gu Shu was so frightened that he was at a loss, and the pancakes in his hand fell on the table. He felt that he must have said something wrong.

"It's okay, eat as much as you want. If you are not full, mother will bake a few more corn cakes. Our family has food! Ah, our family has food." Mrs. Wang hugged her son's small face and rubbed it vigorously. Rubbing his head, he wiped away the tears on his face, not wanting his son to think about other things.

The Tie family couple also felt a little uncomfortable, thinking, after they moved to the countryside, they would have food and vegetables for their own farming, so there is no need to save them like this.

After eating, everyone sat on the heated kang and chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting dark outside, they sent the Tie family members out of the courtyard and watched them leave the alley. Only then did the Gu family members return home to wash and sleep.

Early the next morning, Gu Lian and her sister got up to make pancakes. There was still some suet left from yesterday, and they were fried with Uncle Tie’s fatty meat. The stir-fried board with small green vegetables made people feel fragrant, and they cooked a few poached eggs and served them table.

After breakfast, Gu Lian and Gu Lizhi went to Anmin Village. They rented a bullock cart in the town, and the two of them ran slowly towards Anmin Village near Wan'an City. The old man who drove the cart was a talkative man. They were going to Anmin Village, but they explained the situation there in detail.

"Anmin Village is okay, but it's very poor. I don't care what I say. You will know when you see it. If you want to settle there, it is a good place. Other big villages are not so good. It's easy to accept outsiders, even if you accept what you say, I'm afraid you will look down on you in your heart." The old man talked about the recent events.

"...that family has also lived in the village for a long time, and now because of some filth, the people in the village want to drive them out of the village, and they say they want to remove their names from the family tree. Isn't this going to force them to death? Hey, if you want me to say that this thing is done in a dishonest way, the people in the village look at the money that the head of the family earns with his life, it makes people feel chilling to say it."

The father and daughter of the Gu family listened carefully to the old man's words, and the three of them arrived at Anmin Village without knowing it. The old man saw the big stone standing in front of him, he let out a cry, and stopped the ox cart.

"Look, you two, Anmin Village is ahead." The old man pointed to the place where the stone stood up.

Gu Lian helped her father get down from the top, looked at the big rock, and recognized the flying characters, took the fare, said goodbye to the old man, the two passed the big rock, and went to Anmin Village.

"Father, the words on the stone are actually smeared with blood, and it smells like blood."

"I guess something has happened here before, otherwise why would such a stone stick here, let's go in!"

Anmin Village is really a small village with a small population. You can see the bottom at a glance. There are scattered villagers here, and there are few people passing through the village on weekdays. When the villagers saw someone coming, they came to ask with their hands behind their backs.

"Are you here looking for someone or visiting relatives? I haven't seen you before." The villagers asked in a hurry.

"I wonder if I can meet the village head here." Gu Lizhi saluted them and asked with a smile.

The villagers hurriedly turned away and saw that the man in front of him was full of bookishness, he must be a scholar, how could he bear such a gift.

"The village chief's house is at the end! Let's take you there!" The villagers had a good impression of the Gu family and their daughter. They smiled and pointed to the road ahead and threatened to lead the way.

Gu Lian and the others thanked them again, and followed them to the village chief's house in Anmin Village, where they saw an acquaintance. Last time, one of the people who learned the kang technique brought by Uncle Tie was the village chief's son.

"Hey, master, why did you come here?" The son of the village head scratched his head and asked with a grin.

"I'm here to look for the village head!" Gu Lian's eyes were full of joy, knowing people is easy to do. It seems that this kid has a very close relationship with the village head's family.

"Look for my father, wait a minute, sit down, I'll call someone now." The big head let go of his feet, and went to the field to call his father.

The village chief was dragged back by his son. He heard that the person who came was his son's master along the way, so he quickly let go of his feet and followed his son. He heard that his son has now learned the skill of making heating kang. Today is Thinking of building a warm kang for the family, now that I see my son's master, I have to thank him very much.

"This is my son's master, right? Thank you so much for allowing my son to learn this craft." The village head laughed and walked over, holding Gu Lizhi's hand and shaking it for a while.

"Father, you have found the wrong person. This is the master, and this is the father of the master." The big head poked his father's back and quickly reminded him.

The village chief was a little embarrassed, he found the wrong master, but the master's father should also be grateful, but the little lady in front of him is really his son's master.

"Hey, look at my brain, I really don't have good eyesight when I'm old, haha, my son is dull, thank you master for willing to teach me the craft."

Gu Lian shook her hand with a smothered smile in her heart. It seemed that the village chief was also a cheerful person, so today's matter could be settled without much effort.
