reborn to run

Chapter 6

Guixiang had expected Hou Chunsheng to be Shan Fuman's apprentice, but Guiping was so happy because he had an extra brother.

These days, Guixiang got up very early in order to make breakfast for her father.In summer, it dawned early, and the mosquitoes gathered around the stove in a black mass, and she was bitten a lot even when she was wearing long trousers.

Guixiang looked out of the window, the sky was still bright, and there was only one extremely bright star hanging in the sky, which was the same star ten years later.She was so engrossed in watching that she didn't realize that the water in the copper well irrigation had boiled.When she realized that the boiling water coming out of "Gu Gu Du Du" had landed on the insteps of her feet, the cloth shoes she was wearing were scalded and painful.

Hou Chunsheng, who also got up early, had already cut the vegetables to feed the chickens, and drove the chickens locked in the back room to the chicken chops.

After Chunsheng had done all this, he swept the floor of the main room before going to the water tank to get water and brush his teeth.Gui Xiang saw that he was doing things in an orderly manner, and said with a smile: "Why don't you sleep a little longer, my father won't wake up until a while later!"

He scratched his head and said, "I'm used to it. Lying on the bed is like baking a pancake. Why don't you wake up refreshing." Like Guixiang, he also wanted to make breakfast for his father and himself, and the child without a mother was already in charge of the house.

Guixiang wiped the water in her hand on the apron, and smiled: "That's right, the early bird catches the worm."

"I'll help you." As he spoke, he took the gourd ladle in her hand, scooped water from the water tank and sent it to the well, and then added a fire to the stove. He tidied things up neatly, and there was a smile in his big eyes.

After breakfast, his father went out with his newly recruited apprentice.Hou Chunsheng rushed to help the master carry the tool bag on his back, and the old man Shan smiled.His family's Gui Ping is still in school, and he hasn't taught that kid a handicraft yet. This Chunsheng is hardworking and able to endure hardships, so he is a good seedling.

Someone chatted on the road, and the two of them went to Zhao's house for a while and walked there.As soon as the sun came out, there was a long row of people ready to work in the field.All the production teams of Zhao's family devoted themselves to the field. Of course, there were also some lazy ones.

Not long after Old Man Shan and the others went out, Guixiang also went to work with the production team.Guixiang was full of thoughts about how to get her father to let him go to school, and she moved too slowly when talking about grass, so she asked Hu Daming, the captain of the third team, to tell her a few times.Shan Guixiang couldn't help but blush, she was a famous iron girl in the village in her previous life.

In the past, Shan Guixiang was eager to go to school. Once she went to school with her younger brother to miss a class. When she returned home, her mother would not give her food. It was Gui Ping who took a sweet potato from the stove to satisfy her hunger. Of course, that time I didn't miss a beating.His father only told her: "Girl dolls have lost their brains when they go to school, so they can't go." At that time, Gui Xiang was so easy to talk, her father fooled her with a few words, how could she lose her mind when she went to school? , doesn't her brother also go to school?
Gui Xiang thought for a long time, only her grandfather can help her.Her mother died early, but the old man Shan has always treated his late wife's father with great respect, and only his grandfather can listen to her father.

Guixiang rushed to her grandpa's house after work, and when she approached her grandpa's house, she deliberately rubbed her eyes red and squeezed some tears.

Old man Xu just turned 63 years old this year, his wife left early, and he was lonely living alone.Among the juniors, he likes Guixiang the most. On the one hand, he feels sorry for her when she lost her mother in the early years. On the other hand, this child is really sensible. Every time he comes to his house, he will sweep him inside and out.

Today, this little girl seemed to be a little worried, her face was crying, the old man Xu knocked on the cigarette pot, Gui Xiang hurried up to pick up the cigarette and carefully stuffed it with tobacco leaves.

"Xiang'er, tell grandpa what's going on recently?"

"It's all good, it's just..." She bit her lip and deliberately stopped talking.

"What is it?" Old man Xu was anxious.

"My father won't let me go to school, but Ma Xiaohong said yesterday that I'm... woo woo..." She handed him the smoking pot in a sensible manner.

"What did she say you are? Oops, you child is going to kill me!"

Without raising her head, Gui Xiang faltered and said: "She said that I am an illiterate country bumpkin, and she also said that I am as uneducated as my dead mother, and that I will be on the run from now on, and neither of them will live long... " Shan Guixiang said while weeping, every sentence hit the old man Xu's heart!Didn't his daughter just suffer from being uneducated?No, his granddaughter can't suffer like this.

"Fuck it, you won't live long if you're uneducated. Your mother's body is not good since she was a child. How dare the daughter of Ma Xiaozi's family say that about you! Isn't it just literacy? Your grandfather will teach you that."

Her grandfather was indeed able to read a few words, but he was also semi-literate. Shan Guixiang kept her head down and squeezed out her tears. The big bean-sized tears rolled straight on to the dirt of Old Man Xu's house, and his heart ached so much. nest.

Guixiang rubbed her eyes, rubbed her shoes on the ground, and said intermittently: "She also said that I have a mother, I have no mother's pain, I can't afford school, I can't eat candy, I only deserve to eat it every day." Yellow mud!"

Old man Xu put the cigarette pot on the table, "Damn it."
