Chapter 67: Turning Grief and Anger into Appetite



As autumn arrives, the weather becomes cooler and parents start to wear long sleeves for their children.

Now the eldest and second child are in the third grade. Six-year-old children are indeed a little faster, which is ahead of the times in modern times.

But the two children were able to keep up with the third grade curriculum, so I just let them do whatever they wanted.

At this rate, they should be able to catch up with the first batch of college entrance examinations, and then they can go to college with Zhou Suisui.

It feels great to go to college with my son.

The villagers have been busy again recently. After the autumn harvest, the grain is distributed, which is the happiest thing for the villagers throughout the year.

However, Zhou Suisui does not participate. He just needs to use the money to buy the grain when it is distributed.

The villagers would not be unwilling either, because who wouldn’t want to get more money?

Today’s farmers receive both grain and money every year. The grain can keep their belts tight, but the money can buy a lot of things, from small items like oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea to big things like things to buy for weddings.

These can only be achieved with money, not food.

However, there are some families who exchange food for wives, but they are very rare, and only those who are extremely poor and cannot survive will do so.

Although girls are not as precious as boys nowadays, they are still biological children after all, and they will not be treated too badly.

After the entire autumn harvest, the people in the Gu family had obviously lost weight, and even Gu's father and mother looked much older.

Zhou Suisui only occasionally brings food to Gu's father and mother, but not very often.

If I send gifts frequently, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the old couple. Although I can earn money, the older generation is used to suffering, and they will definitely not be able to accept the size of my hand stitches.

Zhou Suisui didn't want to work for nothing, and she didn't travel through time to please others. The most important thing was that she lived a comfortable life.

Zhou Suisui was writing a manuscript at home when Sanwa came back with Xiaoya.

"Mom, it hurts so much." Sanwa said with a bitter face.

When Zhou Suisui looked up, he found that the two little kids looked miserable, covered in mud, and the little girl's braids were messy.

"Are you two going to roll in the mud?" Zhou Suisui said with disgust.

"Aunt San, my hand is bleeding and it hurts so much." The little girl said softly.

Zhou Sui Sui walked over and saw that Xiao Ya's little finger was broken and bleeding, and a piece of flesh was missing.

"How did this happen?"

Zhou Suisui took Xiaoya to rinse the sand out of the room and took out the small medicine box at home to deal with it for her.

The medicines inside are all modern, and Zhou Suisui tore off the labels, so others can't tell anything.

"Come on, it hurts a little, can you bear with it, Xiaoya?" Zhou Suisui spoke softly to Xiaoya.

The main reason is that Xiao Ya is so cute. Girls are soft and sweet, and even their cries sound aggrieved.

Unlike the three big boys, who cried as if their mother had died, Zhou Suisui felt annoyed when he heard them.

These brats are just not as lovable as the little girl.

But she doesn't want to give birth to the baby, so let it go.

Zhou Suisui wiped Xiaoya's wound with iodine, then put some Yunnan Baiyao on it and bandaged it.

Actually, there are Band-Aids, but I can’t use them because I’m a week old, so this is the only way.

"The little girl is so brave." Zhou Suisui washed the little girl's face again and combed her hair with a comb.

Zhou Suisui combed two buns for Xiaoya. Xiaoya looked at the mirror and shook her head, "Auntie San, you look so pretty. Xiaoya looks so pretty."

Zhou Suisui laughed out loud, thinking that such a young girl could admire herself.

"Yeah, Xiaoya is really pretty."

Sanwa, the straight man, grabbed Xiaoya's hand and said, "Sister Xiaoya, does it still hurt?"

Zhou Suisui: “…”

Xiaoya: "Brother Sanwa, it hurts."

"Ah?" Sanwa was horrified. He turned to look at Zhou Suisui and said, "Mom, why is Xiaoya still in pain?"

Zhou Suisui understood that this boy was blaming her.

"...If you hadn't held Xiaoya's injured finger, maybe she wouldn't feel any pain."

After hearing this, Sanwa immediately let go of Xiaoya's fingers.

"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaoya, I didn't mean it."

"It's okay, brother, I forgive you." Xiao Ya said with a smile.

Mrs. Gu raised Xiaoya very well. The girl was lively, cheerful and loved to laugh. Zhou Suisui liked her very much.

"By the way, why is Xiaoya's hand injured? Are you hurt, Sanwa?"

Sanwa shook his head and said, "Mom, I didn't. I was just playing by the river with Sister Xiaoya. We saw a shrimp monster in the ditch. To protect me, Sister Xiaoya tried to catch it, but ended up getting caught in the shrimp monster's trap."

Although Sanwa is young, he speaks clearly and can explain things clearly.

Zhou Suisui understood immediately, "What did I tell you not to go to the river? Did you ignore my words?"

This kid dares to go anywhere. The riverside is not safe now. What if something happens? All parents tell their children not to go to the riverside.

Sanwa quickly explained, "We're not near the river. We're in the ditch far away from the river. We're very, very far away."

"Remember what mother said, don't go to the river." Zhou Suisui felt a little relieved.

"What is a shrimp monster?" Zhou Suisui asked again.

Sanwa took something out of his pocket and said, "Mom, this is it! It's ugly and it bites."

When I looked at it, I realized that this was the crayfish that everyone in later generations loved.

Maybe no one eats this thing now, and no one knows whether it is edible.

"Are there many places near the river?" Zhou Suisui was excited.

"a lot of."

"Okay, then you just wait, I will help you get revenge." Zhou Suisui rubbed his hands together.
