Chapter 11 Rabbit Meat 5
Fubao knew that the trouble between his aunt Shen Hongying and his grandmother was all because of him. It was because he said he had eaten half a bowl of meat that caused such a misunderstanding.
Because of this, Fubao naturally felt uncomfortable and was a little listless for several days.
That day, she squatted there chopping rotten vegetable stalks picked up from the ground, but she was still thinking about this matter in her mind.
Nie Laosan's wife doesn't like her, saying that she is a jinx and that anyone who gets involved with her will be unlucky. Is she really a jinx?
Fubao thought about what happened before she became a baby. She tried hard to recall who she was and what she did at that time, but no matter how hard she tried, all she could remember were the misty mountains and the Buddhist chanting that seemed to linger in her ears forever.
She could even see lotus flowers blooming in the clear water amidst the clouds and mist.
Who is she?
Fubao frowned.
As soon as Gu Weidong entered the house, he saw Xiao Fubao looking thoughtful.
This time, the brothers of the Gu family took advantage of the slack season when there was no work in the fields and rushed to the market to sell the straw mats and apricot baskets they had saved up over the past few days. There were still a few left at the end, and the other brothers said they would sell them at the market. Gu Weidong first brought back the sorghum rice he bought at the market, so that when people were eating at the well platform at the village entrance in the evening, they would not be jealous when they saw him carrying so much sorghum rice.
When he returned home, he saw that the older children in the family had not yet finished school. Xiuni, Dongni and Gu Shengtian had gone to the fields to pick wild fruits. Only little Fubao was left, holding a large kitchen knife tightly in his pair of white and thin hands, chopping chicken food with a clang, while his pretty little eyebrows were tightly frowned, and no one knew what problem he was worried about.
Gu Weidong put half a bag of sorghum rice on the ground and walked forward: "Fubao, what are you thinking about?"
Fubao was lost in thought when he suddenly heard Gu Weidong's voice. He was startled and stood up suddenly with a look of panic on his face.
Gu Weidong was also frightened: "Fubao, are you okay?"
Fu Bao looked at Gu Weidong and breathed a sigh of relief: "Dad, it turned out to be you, I thought -"
Having said that, she thought about it and stopped talking.
Gu Weidong couldn't help but ask, "Who do you think you are? Why are you so scared?"
顾卫东之前没女儿，只有三个粗糙儿子，一个个耐打耐磨，上火了每个人屁股揍几巴掌都没心疼过，但是现在看着这白净好看的小福宝，怎么看怎么觉得心软，看她刚才猛地站起来时湿润眼神中的惊惶，让人忍不住想疼她。
Fubao hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head, clutching the corner of his clothes with his little hands, and smiled sheepishly. "Dad... I just thought, I thought... I was still at the Nie family!"
Gu Weidong was stunned when he heard this.
At first he was wondering if some brat in the family had dared to bully Fubao, and was planning to teach them a lesson later, but he didn't expect her to say that she thought they were at the Nie family?
Are you distracted by something and suddenly wake up thinking you are still in the past?
Gu Weidong felt bad, thinking about the panic in the little girl's eyes just now. It must be because she was often beaten in Nie Lao San's house in the past, which scared her so much that she still remembered this incident even though she had left the Nie family for some days?
As a grown man, he sighed rarely, walked forward, and rubbed Fubao's head: "Don't think too much, now that you are in our Gu family, you are the child of the Gu family, you are my, Gu Weidong's, daughter. You are no longer in the Nie family, so just slowly forget it."
He was thinking that Fubao was only five years old, one year younger than Gu Shengtian. When she grew older, how could a child remember so much? If the Gu family didn't mention this matter to Fubao, she would almost forget it.
But after hearing this, Fubao couldn't help but look up at him and asked softly, "Dad...then, will you abandon me?"
Gu Weidong was surprised: "Don't want you? Why don't you?"
Fubao shrugged his shoulders, lowered his head, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and said anxiously, "My aunt said I was unlucky and that I was the reincarnation of a jinx. Whoever raises me will have bad luck. I think since I entered the Gu family, my aunt seems to have quarreled with my grandmother twice because of me. I always feel uncomfortable. Dad——"
She raised her face and asked, "Could it be that I am a jinx, a bad luck charm? Whoever's house I go to, there will be trouble?"
Gu Weidong never expected that such a young child like Fubao would say such words.
He looked at the little girl in shock. The five-year-old girl looked soft and delicate, with dark, bright and moist eyes. She looked up at him in confusion and helplessness.
Seeing Fubao like this made his heart ache.
A sense of responsibility as a father suddenly surged in his chest.
He was silent for a moment, then squatted down, raised his hand and touched Fubao's soft hair again, and said in a hoarse voice, "Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? When your mother drew the word "Fu", you became the granddaughter of the Gu family. Your mother brought you into the Gu family, so you are my daughter. How could my parents not want a daughter? You will be our daughter for the rest of your life, do you understand?"
Fubao still didn't quite understand. Although she had been able to remember things since she was a baby, she had never quite grasped the complex relationships between people and the human heart. So, after hesitating for a moment, she finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Then, why don't the Nie family want me anymore? I used to call them dad and mom!"
Fubao understood that the parents he called were different from those others called.
Others are called parents because they were born by their parents. That is innate.
But I was adopted, so I call them dad and mom. These parents may not want me anymore one day.
Gu Weidong looked at the little girl in front of him, the little girl who called him dad, and his eyes turned red.
The rough man working in the countryside didn't have so many delicate thoughts, but the little girl's panic and confusion were engraved in his heart.
He sighed deeply, raised his rough hands, hugged her, and patted her back as gently as possible.
"Silly child, Daddy tells you, you are your mother's daughter in this life, and that will never change. What others say about you is their business, but you are our daughter. No matter what happens, you are our daughter."
Fubao stared blankly at Gu Weidong, the man she called dad. After a moment's pause, she suddenly cried out "Wow!" and threw herself on Gu Weidong's shoulder: "Dad!"
——
Gu Weidong was actually feeling bad about Fubao. He could see that even though Fubao had become his daughter, she still felt uneasy.
Gu Weidong, who only attended elementary school, didn't know how to describe this feeling. Anyway, Fubao's heart was not settled. He couldn't regard the Gu family as his own home, and he was afraid that he would be kicked out one day.
Because of this, he secretly mentioned it to Liu Guizhi when Fubao was not in the room, and finally said: "It seems that you have to take better care of this child. She is not at peace."
After listening to this, Liu Guizhi thought for a while and nodded vigorously.
After all, women are more thoughtful than men. It happened that there was no farming work recently, so Liu Guizhi could spare some time. She first borrowed a pair of scissors to trim Fubao's hair, and then slowly sorted out the clothes she brought from her mother's home and dressed Fubao up.
Fubao was originally good-looking, and after being dressed up by Liu Guizhi, she became a clean little girl with two pigtails. Her eyes were as bright as the stars in the autumn night, her skin was as white as the cotton wool in the fields, and her lips were as red as the red cherries hanging on the branches. Such a little girl was naturally rare in this rural area, so much so that when she walked out of the house, everyone couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
Although there were some gossips about this, such as guessing that Fubao was so beautiful that she might be an illegitimate daughter born by a city man, or the product of an affair between a nun and some wealthy family. In short, people felt that Fubao was definitely not a child from a respectable farming family.
Of course, there are also people who sincerely think that Fubao is pretty. They say that they are tired from work and see such a fair and pretty girl, and they are very happy. They say that Fubao looks like the little boy behind Guanyin Bodhisattva, and she looks blessed at first sight.
Everyone said that Fubao was talked about too much, so now when people in the production team mentioned the granddaughter of the Gu family, they would inevitably mention Fubao and talk about how great your Fubao is.
Miao Xiuju already thought Fubao was lucky because of the rabbit meat and sorghum rice. Furthermore, she looked like the little girl next to the gods in New Year pictures, so her initial dislike for Fubao had long since faded. But now, hearing everyone praising her new granddaughter, she gradually began to like her even more. Whenever someone praised Fubao, she would exclaim about how good she was and how sensible she was, feeling very proud.
Liu Zhaodi was not very happy when she saw this scene.
She didn't take the girls seriously, and none of the three girls was useful. But after all, they were her own daughters. She felt uncomfortable when her grandmother didn't feel sorry for her own daughters but felt sorry for the adopted children.
The person she was even more dissatisfied with was naturally Liu Guizhi.
You have to know that although Miao Xiujiu said that she liked Fubao, it was just words. As a grandmother, she would not give out clothes or delicious food to favor Fubao.
But Liu Guizhi was different. She favored Fubao over the good things. Even if there was something wrong, she would always gesture to her son and babble. What she meant was that Fubao was still young and a little sister, so you have to be more considerate of her.
Or gesture, Fubao is your sister, you have to protect your sister.
After a while, Liu Zhaodi felt uncomfortable about this matter.
Were Bonnie, Shoni, and Dongni no longer their sisters? Were their biological cousins not as good as this unfortunate girl who was forced upon them?
Liu Zhaodi secretly curled her lips: "This is my aunt, but she can't tell the difference between relatives and strangers. A mute is a mute. She doesn't know etiquette. I don't know who is her family!"
But she was weak in character and didn't dare to question the other person directly like Shen Hongying did. If she went to Shen Hongying to provoke her again, it would definitely not work.
Shen Hongying was so angry about the half bowl of rabbit meat incident last time that she scolded her, but she didn't dare to say a word.
Liu Zhaodi had no choice but to hold it in, occasionally complaining to her husband Gu Weijun: "Ah, I gave birth to three daughters in vain. They are all worthless and no one loves them..."
Liu Zhaodi: "My life is so miserable. How come I gave birth to three daughters who are not loved by anyone?"
Gu Weijun is a man who only cares about earning work points and how to weave straw mats and apricot baskets to earn more money to support his family. How can he understand the complicated thoughts in his wife's mind?
After hearing so much, he said, "Who told you not to have a son? What's the point of saying all this? Besides, did I ever say anything about you not having a son?"
As a man, Gu Weijun is actually quite good. At least he didn't get angry with Liu Zhaodi because she only gave birth to a daughter.
He felt that if he didn't have a son, then he didn't have a son. Anyway, he had many brothers, so his family would not be extinct.
Liu Zhaodi was originally filled with resentment, unable to hold it back. When she heard what Gu Weijun said, her heart immediately turned cold, and her anger dissipated.
Yes, I only gave birth to a daughter, only a daughter...
Who made me give birth to only a daughter, and a worthless and unpopular daughter at that!
Liu Zhaodi felt so humiliated that her hands were shaking.
But they are all girls. Why, why is Fubao's fate so good? A girl, does she deserve such a good fate?
