Chapter 73 Falling into the Water
Chu Hong knew that he didn't take her words seriously, so she simply opened the backpack. When she saw the chocolate, she couldn't help but peel one and eat it: "Where did you get so many good things?"
Silky and mellow, with a thick taste and a variety of flavors intertwined and blended, this authentic chocolate is not something you can buy in supply and marketing cooperatives.
Gu Ci did not hide it: "Director Gu had someone bring it to me, and I have to let everyone know that he did not ignore me."
He knew that Gu Haihua was ambitious and realistic.
If Gu Haihua wants to move up the ladder, he naturally has to manage his reputation well.
But he can also benefit from it. As long as he needs it, I don't mind showing off my fatherly love and filial piety as long as he can pay enough appearance fee.
Chu Hong said, "Then I'll give them some."
Gu Ci is now very cautious: "Leave it all with you, and just give them some from time to time."
When he cleaned the rabbit house, Chu Hong had already prepared hot water for him: "Wash your hands quickly."
While he was washing his hands, she stuffed another chocolate into his mouth. Seeing him looking at her in surprise, she couldn't help but laugh: "Only a fool would give all the delicious food to others. Only what you eat is yours."
Gu Ci looked at her and smiled: "It's delicious."
The moment her hand touched his lips, he felt an electric-like tingling sensation all the way to his heart, and he felt as if he was floating in the clouds, with tremors running through his entire body.
Chocolate is delicious, but he used to eat it often, so it’s not a rarity.
But this was what she fed him, and that was what made him happiest.
Does this mean that she likes me?
It was only after Chu Hong finished feeding him that she realized her actions were a little too intimate.
Then I saw him smiling at me. That smile was so pure, and his bright eyes were like shattered stars scattered in his eyes. It was so beautiful.
It made him look more pleasing to the eye and somewhat met her requirements for a partner.
She looked away and pretended to be calm: "I'll go see if Chuchu and the others are here first."
He is still too young, should we wait a little longer?
When she was about to go out, she found that she was wearing cotton shoes made by her grandmother.
These cotton shoes are very warm, but unfortunately they cannot come into contact with water because the soles are made of Buna.
But now the snow outside is melting and the ground is full of water, so she has to go back and change her shoes.
Gu Ci quickly said, "There's water outside, I'll just go take a look."
Only after he left did Chu Hong realize that her face was a little hot.
She took the backpack into her room, thought about it, and decided to sort it out, leaving some things outside and stuffing the rest into her locked wooden box.
Then Gu Ci came to the back and pushed the door open, but there was no one there. He then went to knock on the door of another room, but no one was there when he opened it again.
The house where Lao Jin lives has an old-fashioned door that can be bolted from the inside when people are at home.
But if no one is at home and there is no padlock on the outside, there is no way to lock the door and one can just push it and get in.
There was no one there. I went to the cowshed but didn't see anyone either.
He thought that his grandfather and others might have gone to work.
Everyone hasn't started working yet, but they not only have to feed the cows, they may also have to do other work, such as carrying cow dung to the fields.
Gu Ci was not familiar with this place and was not planning to go around the village looking for anyone.
After all, there are so many people around now, and it would be bad if someone found out I was talking to them.
He was not afraid of being implicated by them.
But only when you are fine can you make sure everyone has enough to eat in private.
When he was about to go back, he vaguely heard a child crying and shouting, as if for help. He was a little worried that his cousin was being bullied by the children in the village, so he quickly ran towards the place where the sound came from.
At the same time, Xiao Hei also ran back home and meowed anxiously at Chu Hong: "Oh no, several little brats fell into the river, and Chu Yan, that idiot, fell in when he tried to pull them out..."
Although Xiao Hei doesn't treat the two younger ones very well, Chu Yan and Chu Chu are young, and their method of stroking their fur is not right, which often hurts Xiao Hei.
After that, Xiao Hei didn't want to play with them anymore.
But the grandmother of the two little guys was very nice and raised Xiao Hei for a long time.
Chu Hong also told Xiao Hei many times to keep an eye on Chu Chu and the others, and to call her if he saw them being bullied.
After the snow, Xiao Hei stayed at home. He was really bored, so he sneaked out to play. He happened to see two children fishing. Maybe because the river bank was too slippery, they fell down.
But the place they went to was at the back, and there was no one working in the fields, only seven or eight children there.
One of the older kids tried to pull them up, but ended up sliding down himself.
The fool Chu Yan also picked up a bamboo stick to pull people away, but he was pulled down by them instead.
When Xiao Hei saw this, he quickly ran back and called Chu Chu.
Chu Chu got anxious when she heard this, and ran out and shouted, "Uncle, are you home? There's a child in the water."
Song Aiguo, who had just returned home to drink hot water after shoveling the snow, heard this and rushed out, chasing after her.
Behind them were endless mountains.
No, the mountain is not high, it would be more appropriate to call it a hill.
There are trees on the hills, and behind them there is a wild pond and a river two or three meters wide.
The river is not very wide, but when the water is high, it can be two or three meters deep.
In summer, adults and children like to take a bath in the river and touch the snails. With a fish basket and a sieve, they can also catch some fish, shrimps, loaches and so on.
But few people go there in winter now, not to mention that the snow has melted, the river is full of water and it is still freezing cold.
Gu Ci and Chu Hong arrived at the river almost at the same time. There were five children crying for help on the shore, and four children struggling in the river.
Gu Ci saw Chu Yan was also in the river. He didn't even have time to take off his shoes, so he jumped into the river, grabbed the child closest to him, and lifted him up: "Chu Hong, pull him up."
Chu Hong pulled people up one by one.
After the snow melted, the riverside was very slippery. The children were wearing cotton jackets, which made them very heavy when they came into contact with water. Chu Hong almost slipped down.
In the end, it was Song Aiguo who came after them and pulled Gu Ci up.
Chu Hong held the still crying Chu Chu with one hand, and the shivering Chu Yan with the other hand, and said loudly, "Uncle, take them back to change clothes quickly."
Gu Ci also came over from behind: "Leave the child to me, you send them back first."
After saying that, he carried Chu Yan on his back and ran back.
Chu Hong saw him running away with someone on his back, so she also grabbed the other two children who had fallen into the water and hurried to send them home.
She also realized that these were all grandchildren of her great-uncle's family, and in fact they were her family.
If I ignore them and instead take care of Chu Yan, the "outsider", people will accuse me of not being able to distinguish between inside and outside.
When the child's family saw their grandson fall into the water, they were extremely anxious. They shouted for hot water and asked them to strip him naked and stuff him into the quilt. They were all extremely anxious.
After Chu Hong sent them home, she asked the other four crying children: "Don't cry, it's okay. Tell me, how did they fall?"
