bad marriage

Chapter 7

"If you don't learn well at a young age, who is she? She is your sister..."

Gu Anning couldn't bear it anymore, tears fell on her feet, but she just didn't say a word.

Papa Gu sighed, and snatched Gu Anning from his wife: "Okay, it's Chinese New Year..."

Gu's mother hurriedly searched for medicine at home, but there was no medicine. In the end, she could only listen to Gu's father and spread soy sauce on the back of Gu Yining's feet. swallowed.

When Grandma Gu came back from the outside, she saw her granddaughter's eyes were red again. She thought it was excitement. She looked at Ling, a granddaughter on the kang. Gu Yining was very beautiful, and such a child was easy to hurt. Looking at her red instep , asked puzzledly: "What's wrong with your feet? It's hot..."

Gu's mother said sarcastically: "She poured a whole bowl of hot water on her sister's feet..."

Grandma Gu frowned and looked at Gu Anning, who stood there without explaining or speaking.

Grandma Gu sighed: "Yining, An Ning is your sister, to be a sister, you have to look like a sister..."

Gu Yining lowered his head and rolled his eyes, but didn't speak.

In the evening, Mother Gu stopped beating around the bush, and directly stated why she came: "Mom, if it wasn't really difficult, I wouldn't come back to beg you, old man, Haitao is going to elementary school soon, but how can I go to school without any money at home? Even if you don't worry about us being older, Haitao will always be your grandson..."

She only earns 160 yuan a month, her husband earns more than 300 yuan, and the two of them add up to less than 500 yuan. A month ago, she bought a Yamaha electronic organ for Gu Yining and spent nearly 4000 yuan. Years of living expenses are now relying on relief from her natal family. Now Yining has to learn to dance, and Haitao will go to school in September. Where can she find money?
For the money invested in Gu Yining, Gu's mother never feels distressed, nor does she feel that it is too much. She thinks that this is an early investment. Although she has invested a lot of money now, she will return more in the future.

Grandma Gu has 89 yuan a month for retirement. The rice at home is bought by her daughter, and the vegetables are grown by herself, so she doesn’t need to spend any money, and she can save some money.

She sighed: "You still plan to keep An Ning here?"

She was reluctant to leave An Ning that child, but what can the child always learn here when he grows up?Grandma Gu always felt that Gu Anning was someone who could learn. When Grandma Wang next door left, she made a thousand and one confessions that she must let Anning study, saying that if she didn't study, Anning's life would be ruined.

Grandma Gu was illiterate all her life, and even her own name was known by it, but she didn't know it. She didn't want Gu Anning to follow her old path.

"I can give you money, but you have to bring An Ning to the city..."

Gu's mother never expected that this dead old lady would actually negotiate with her, but judging by her appearance, she should have quite a few...

"Okay, as long as she comes with us, I'll take her away..." Mother Gu gritted her teeth.

She originally wanted Grandma Gu to raise Gu Anning, and when the child was seventeen or eighteen, she was picking it up. Once Gu Anning got married in a few years, she would be able to sit back and relax.

Grandma Gu turned back and entered the room. Everyone in the room was asleep. She rolled up the quilt she was sleeping on, and then lifted the kang mat. At the place where the wooden boards were placed at the bottom, it would not be overheated. She reached in and took out a small bag. The money was wrapped in a somewhat yellowish handkerchief. She slowly opened it, and inside were some ten yuan, five yuan, and two yuan and one yuan, a total of 5000 yuan, saved for seven years. money.

Gu's mother's eyes lit up, and she said she had no money, who was she lying to?

Grandma Gu turned her wallet around and was about to give it to Mama Gu, but hesitated for a while, and she finally made a decision.

"Let me tell you, I saved the money for An Ning. You can spend it for Haitao or Yining, but you must promise me that An Ning will go to school and learn knowledge."

Gu's mother reached out to pick up the money impatiently: "Mom, I can still lie to you..."

Grandma Gu gritted her teeth and gave it to Mother Gu.

Gu's mother put the money in her pocket, because she was afraid that there would be thieves in the car, she deliberately sewed a bag in her trousers, and then fell asleep peacefully.

Grandma Gu sat on the kang and looked at her granddaughter who was sleeping next to her. She took the cigarette pouch that was put aside, put the shredded tobacco into the pouch pot, and lit it.

The child who brought up shit and urine by herself, An Ning left, and she was the only one left...

Grandma Gu couldn't sleep all night, and she really couldn't bear it, but she couldn't let it go.

The sky is getting brighter little by little, and Grandma Gu tucks the quilt for her granddaughter from time to time, An Ning, I have done everything Grandma can do for you, and the rest is up to you.

Grandma Gu wiped her face, folded up the quilt, brushed her white hair, and tied an apron around her waist, in case they would feel cold when they got up, she opened the door and placed firewood and corn on top of the coal at the bottom of the stove. beard, and then lit with fire.

After a while, the stove was lit, and when the smoke ran out, Grandma Gu closed the door.

Gu Anning was used to getting up at this time, she folded her quilt, got dressed and got off the kang, ready to help grandma cook.

After dinner, Grandma Gu packed Gu Anning's luggage. In fact, it was nothing. Grandma Gu didn't go out easily, and she didn't have a chance to buy clothes for her granddaughter.
Gu Anning lowered her head, staring at her toes, Gu's father pulled her, but Gu Anning didn't move, Gu's mother took Gu Yining and Gu Haitao far away.

Papa Gu sighed: "An Ning, you see mom and the others have gone far away, let's go..."

Grandma Gu's tears flowed down her old face, and there were calluses on her wrinkled hands that couldn't be washed off. She wiped away the tears from Gu Anning's face, and gritted her teeth hard.

"Let's go..."

Papa Gu pulled Gu Anning forward, but Papa Gu pushed her behind when Gu Anning didn't move, and she turned her head every step of the way.

Tears could not be controlled anymore.

grandmother……

Gu Anning twisted her body and wanted to go back, but Gu's father saw that the time was running out, and the train was waiting for no one.

Hugging Gu An Ning and walking forward quickly.

"grandmother……"

Grandma Gu felt that her eyes were hurting, so she turned around and walked up the hill next to her, where she could watch her granddaughter leave the village.

Gu's father hugged Gu Anning and caught up with Gu's mother and the others.

"How much does my mother give?"

Mother Gu's face turned horizontal: "Don't worry about it so much."

Gu Anning twisted her calf and patted Papa Gu's arm holding her.

"I want grandma..."

Papa Gu sighed: "An Ning, there are many interesting things in the city..."

Gu's mother rolled her eyes, the old lady has money in her hand, and it doesn't take much effort to raise a child. If she takes An Ning back, she won't be able to make ends meet. She has already made plans for the money. Gu's mother threw away Gu Yining's hand and squatted In front of Gu Anning.
