Gu Yan didn't know that he was being remembered. After the old man left, her heart suddenly started beating wildly and she felt something was wrong. While holding her son and feeding him, she recounted what had happened to her since she came to this time and space.
"It's broken." It's true that pregnancy makes people stupid for three years. After getting pregnant and giving birth, did her body affect her brain and make it fuzzy? They just do things based on their own instincts without considering the consequences.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Xiaohua was excitedly talking about the joy of learning and said she would take her younger brother and sister with her tomorrow. Her deskmate has a one-year-old brother, but the little boy is always restless. Not as obedient as my younger brother. Suddenly I heard her words and looked around nervously.
"It's okay." She quickly smiled and relaxed, put her son on the kang, and picked up her daughter to feed her. The two girls saw that she looked relaxed and no longer worried about what she meant. He continued to write and mutter quietly.
Commune exchange, she has appeared many times. But the other party are all ordinary people. They will not think too much about their suspicions, or they will not investigate anything. But the Li family is different. His son is a soldier, and his awareness and knowledge are far beyond the reach of ordinary people. If I knew her medicine, I would investigate her more carefully.
It's over. She's really finished. The eggs can be smuggled in, the worst that can happen is that they were stolen. Woolen sheets may be involved in smuggling. Will I be regarded as a spy? No, this alone is worth talking about. But with this medicine, is she definitely going to be a spy?
The more I thought about it, the more upset I became. I wanted to slap myself in the face. Gu Yan, Gu Yan, do you think there will be no danger after leaving the apocalypse? Their vigilance is so low. What will happen to these children if something happens to you?
Thinking of my cold hands and feet, my heart beat faster when I looked at the children. If she only felt pity for the weak before, now she truly treats them as her own flesh and blood. Especially the two on the kang, they were born when she was pregnant and went through life and death.
"Have you finished your homework?" After getting the affirmative answer from the child, she wrapped up the malted milk and pointed at the two children on the kang, "Look after the younger brother and sister. Mom is going to Grandpa Li's house."
As soon as I walked out of the door, Uncle Li came running over in a hurry and the two of them bumped into each other. The old man held two pieces of aluminum-plastic packaging in his hand and whispered anxiously, "Oh no, the neighbor's child stole the medicine and thought it was candy. What should I do? Will someone die?"
"How much did you eat?"
"It was said that there were more than ten children sharing one pill each."
"That's okay. This medicine is anti-inflammatory and bactericidal. One pill per person is just enough to kill the bacteria in the stomach."
After she said this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. "But your aunt's cough hasn't healed yet, what can we do?"
"I..." Gu Yan really didn't want to cause trouble, but he couldn't bear it and was thinking about how to refuse.
"Girl, can you find a few more pills of this medicine? I know this is embarrassing, but I really have no other choice. As long as your aunt can be saved, you can do anything. I... I will give you five kilograms of food every month, okay?"
"...I'll try, but I can't guarantee it will work." Reaching out to interrupt him as he was about to thank her, Gu Yan continued, "I have a request. Don't tell anyone about this medicine."
"I know. I won't tell anyone. I originally wanted to tell my son to thank you, but since you said so, I won't tell him." Speculation and profiteering are common things done secretly these days, and the old man can understand it. Supplies were in short supply and many things had to be obtained secretly. If you didn't have the means, you couldn't get them.
"What about those kids? You didn't say this was medicine, did you?"
"No, they all thought it was candy. They all complained that the candy was so bitter this time, and several of them soaked the outer skin and vomited the inside." The old man paused and said, "To be honest, I'm also afraid of getting into trouble. So I came to you first to ask clearly. If there's nothing wrong, I won't say anything. If there's a problem, I'll tell the parents and see what to do about it."
Gu Yan nodded, now relieved. Next time I'll make two more trips to deliver the medicine and make sure not to leave any packaging behind. By some strange coincidence they had to ask her for help in getting medicine, and since they had benefited from it they would definitely not tell others that she was "profiteering". It was a blessing in disguise. She didn't have to explain why the medicine couldn't be shared with others.
Gu Yan finally felt relieved. Remind myself to be more careful next time. The things before were not packaged, so this time the evidence was completely destroyed. In the future, you can use the money to buy things and find ways to improve your life. But be sure to destroy the evidence. Without evidence, any guess is in vain.
"Then I'd like to thank you first." The old man handed her a handkerchief and said, "Here are money, food coupons, and cloth coupons. Please find someone to exchange them."
This was something he could only accept, so Gu Yan took it and put it in his arms. It was so dark that she couldn't see how much there was, so she went back and weighed it before collecting it.
"Mom, you're back?" Xiaohua was sitting on the kang, playing with her younger siblings using a rattle. Seeing her come in, he greeted her happily.
"I'm back." She smiled and regained her usual strength. He took out the tin can and opened the lid. He scooped an appropriate amount of malted milk into three bowls respectively, poured water and gave each person a bowl.
Dahua came in from outside and rushed over excitedly when she smelled the fragrance. "Mom, do I have a share in this?"
"Yes, one bowl per person."
"What about my brothers and sisters?"
Gu Yan slapped his head, he forgot that the two little guys could also drink this. Then he smiled and pointed at his bowl. "Give this to both of them."
"No, Mom, you drink more. We can share ours with our brothers and sisters."
Holding the stainless steel spoon produced by Space, the two daughters fed the two little ones in a proper manner. Gu Yan wasn't polite either. He picked up the bowl, blew on it, and swallowed the liquid in small sips. With two children to breastfeed and the intensive labor in the countryside, even eating lots of meat and fish won’t make me fat. The little she eats every day is not enough for her consumption. When I have some free time at night, that feeling of being drained comes over me.
The mother and her two children were eating secretly in the house with the door closed, unaware that someone was sniffing secretly outside. A corner of the door curtain was lifted, and the aroma of malted milk coming from the gap in the door made Daniu drool.
He quietly lowered the door curtain, turned around, and walked away slowly on tiptoe like a cat. As soon as he entered the south room, he swallowed and reported to his mother eagerly.
"What are they eating? It smells so good. I want to drink it too."
Erniu on the kang also sipped his saliva when he heard this, "I want to drink too."
"Drink shit, if you're not afraid of being beaten to death by your crazy second aunt, just go ahead."
In a word, all four members of the family became dumb. Second Aunt’s beating hurts so much, they can’t afford to offend her!
"Mom, what are they drinking? Why does it smell so good?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen it either. What Old Man Li gave it must be a good thing."
"It smells so good." Daniu sighed with lingering regret, his eyes full of reluctance and greed. "Mom, let's go get some secretly. Do you think she can find out?"
"Wait until they all go out tomorrow and pick the locks. Remember not to take everything. As long as she doesn't catch us in the act, she can't do anything to us."
The silent Boss Gu had obviously been thinking about this issue and now had a complete plan. As soon as this was said, the family members agreed unanimously and they were all ready to do it.
The next morning, everyone went to work early. The team started to clean up the land in the spring. All the stones and debris on the sides and back slopes of the land had to be picked out. There was plenty of work to do, so there was no need to worry about having nothing to do.
The eldest son's wife and Gu Yan were neighbors on the upper and lower plots of land, and she would glance at her from time to time. My heart was pounding and I couldn't suppress the nervousness and excitement.
When Xiaohua got home from work, she had already prepared breakfast. The cornmeal porridge was mixed with oatmeal, and a plate of pickled radish was much more delicious than the ones other people had with just salt.
As the weather gets warmer, everyone takes their bowls outside to eat. They eat and chat while watching, and some even go to visit other people's homes. Sister Xu came to their house today with a bowl in her hand.
"Your pickles are so delicious. Let's exchange them. The pickled mustard greens we made today are also delicious with a little vinegar."
"It doesn't matter what you want to exchange. Just pick some for yourself. I have a lot of pickles, so you can eat as much as you want."
"I want to eat too." A little head popped up behind them. San San was holding a small bowl. He looked at their pickles with his big eyes, his face full of drooling.
Just as Gu Yan was about to call the child in, Sister Xu had already raised her hand and touched the child. "You're everywhere. It's ok for me to eat other people's food, but why did you come here, little bastard?"
"And there's my second brother. He's right behind us."
Sister Xu turned around when she heard that. The second brother was prepared and quickly stepped back several steps. That skillful dodge seemed to be tried and tested.
"You little bastards, you are such a bother. Go back home and stop begging for food with a bowl in your hand."
"Mom, you were the first one to ask for it. We learned from you."
"We want food, not food."
The two rascals made Sister Xu laugh and cry. If it were the days before, eating some pickles would be nothing considering her current relationship with Gu Yan. But it is a different time now. The harvest has been poor for several years in a row, and pickles are a rare delicacy. Especially Gu Yan’s pickles. She had no idea what was in them, but they were so fresh, fragrant and refreshing that she had never tasted before.
"Come in, Auntie has a lot of pickles, enough for us to eat."
As soon as Gu Yan opened his mouth, Erpang and Sanpang walked into the house with bowls in their hands, past his mother. The two brothers were quite righteous and only took one chopstick of pickles.
"It's eaten with rice. Just enjoy the fragrance." I don't know who San San learned this from. Then the second child spoke up, "Auntie Gu, I dug some wild vegetables for you after school this afternoon. They're delicious if you blanch them in boiling water, or mix them with cornmeal."
Sister Xu glared at the second brother and raised her hand to hit him. This time the child was so busy eating that he didn't have time to dodge and was hit hard.
"You're just good at talking. If you had that kind of heart, you should have dug out more for your Aunt Gu yesterday."
"The weather is not warm enough yet, so there are not many wild vegetables. I will run a little further today, so I can dig more."
"And me, I dig too."
Dahua and Xiaohua were holding their bowls and smiling. These two brothers are really funny. They are fighting for a bite of pickles. But recently we started to pick wild vegetables. I put on my baby carrier today and carried my younger brothers and sisters on my back after school to go pick wild vegetables too.
After three and a half hours at school in the morning, the two children were already hungry and started to get irritable when they got home at noon. The two girls were carried home first. Gu Yan had taken a leave in the morning to go to the commune and had not returned yet. He had previously asked them to go home and make malted milk for the children.
Dahua took the key and poked it into the keyhole, but before she could even turn it, the lock opened with a click. The child was still wondering why the lock was so easy to open today, but then the crying of her brother on her back made her stop worrying about this issue.
"Who has been to our house?" The house had been disturbed and the jar of pickles was missing. As she spoke, she quickly went to open the box, and it turned out that the lock on it was the same as the one on the door, and it could be opened with just a pull.
"The malted milk is gone, and my sister's floral quilt and autumn clothes are gone."
"The food in the jar is gone."
The box was in a mess, and it was obviously a key place that had been looked through. All the good things that could be shown to others were stolen, and only the rags and rags were left. Fortunately, Gu Yan is now cautious and keeps all the things that cannot be shown to others in his space. Otherwise, the thief would be very happy.
The two children on the back could not bear the hunger anymore. They grabbed their sister's hair anxiously and cried with tears on their faces.
"What should we do? All the good stuff was stolen. Who did it?"
Dahua untied the babysitter and hugged her brother, patting him and trying to calm him down. He was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, but he was too young to know what to do.
Xiaohua hugged her sister and tears of anxiety dripped down her face. After a moment, she poured half a bowl of hot water into the kettle and prepared to feed the two children with a spoon. Have some water and you won’t be so hungry. Mom will be back soon. As a result, when I went to get the spoon, I found that it had also been stolen.
"You son of a bitch, who is so wicked to steal things? You stole everything except the broken ones. You don't want to let people live, do you?"
The two older children yelled at the thief angrily, while the two younger ones were hungry and scared, and for a while the house was filled with the sound of children crying. Gu Yanli heard the noise from home from a distance and ran back quickly with the basket.
Sister Xu, who was leaving work, joked behind him, "She's really a mother. She gets excited when she hears her child cry. Her skinny body can run very fast."
She had to cook at home at noon and had no time to watch it. He shook his head and quickened his pace towards his home. As soon as Gu Yan entered the house, he took his youngest son in his arms and fed him without saying a word. This boy is so thin but has such a bright voice. He may be able to sing tenor in the future.
"Bring your sister over here too." He lifted up the other side and called his daughter. With two people eating one at each side, they weren't very hungry.
"I didn't give it to Chong...what's going on?" After comforting the two children, she realized that something was wrong at home.
"Mom, someone stole our things."
"The malted milk, and my sister's beautiful little quilt, and both of their little clothes were stolen."
"There are also spoons, food, and pickles." Xiaohua stamped her feet angrily, "This thief is too bad. He won't leave us a way to live."
Are locusts passing through? Gu Yan's head turned and he actually laughed. Dahua and Xiaohua were confused. Was their mother so angry that she became confused? Why are you still smiling after being robbed?
Gu Yan didn't take this little thing seriously at all. If he wasn't laughing, why would he cry? I just thought that now that the weather is getting warmer, I can no longer find any reason to get a divorce. Well, when you feel sleepy, here comes the pillow.
The old lady only goes to the fields during the busy farming season in autumn. She usually stays at home looking after the children and doing housework, and occasionally visits her private plot. She is at home these days, who would be brave enough to sneak into the yard and pick the lock? They also looted the entire place and stole so many things. Apart from this family, don't even think about it.
After feeding the two children, the little one who followed his sister to school closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Xiaohua took her younger sister, and Dahua took her younger brother, and the two girls obediently helped her put the children to sleep on the kang.
"Cover them both with a blanket."
This is the only way now. Dahua grabbed her brother's patched quilt and covered the two of them, then turned around and slid downstairs nimbly. Gu Yan had already gone out with a rolling pin, so she quickly followed him. Xiaohua was left alone, hesitating about what to do. She was worried that her mother would want to go and check on the situation, and she was also worried that her younger brothers and sisters would wake up. They could now roll over, and it would be bad if they accidentally rolled onto the stove.
After hesitating for a moment, the child poked the stove and added some coal, then filled the pot with water and put it on the fire. The food has also been taken away. Let’s boil some water first. We can cook after mom comes back.
Having heard her mother's voice, she lifted a corner of the door curtain and looked out, while also turning back from time to time to pay attention to the situation on the kang.
"Gu Wuya, what are you doing?" The old lady seemed to be a lot braver holding a kitchen knife. The voice was much louder than before.
"Give me back my stuff."
"What's yours? I am not lucky enough to ask for your things. You, my daughter-in-law, picked my radishes and made pickles, but you didn't even give me a bit. What are you trying to do now? You are turning the tables and asking me for something."
As the old lady spoke, she waved the kitchen knife in front of her intentionally or unintentionally, but Gu Yan did not move at all and showed no fear. "Don't play dumb. Return the malted milk in my room, Xiaoya's flowered quilt, the two children's clothes, our food rations... to me right away."
The old lady's eyes flashed twice, and then she said arrogantly: "I don't know what you are talking about. What does your stuff have to do with me? Why are you asking me for it?"
"Play dumb."
Gu Yan sneered and pretended to raise his arm. The old lady, who was originally bluffing, immediately took several steps back and almost cut her thigh with the knife in her hand. The eldest daughter-in-law came over quickly and took the knife away from her to prevent her from accidentally hurting someone.
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were hesitating, Gu Yan had already snatched the kitchen knife from them, then swiftly pulled Da Niu, who was watching from the side, into his arms and put the kitchen knife to his neck.
"Ah... Second Aunt, please don't cut me." The teenage boy was frightened by her posture and screamed. He struggled to run away but ended up bumping into the kitchen knife. The fear reached its peak in an instant, my body went limp, and my vagina was wet.
He actually wet his pants, and Gu Yan pulled him out with disgust to avoid getting him wet. "Shut up. If you dare to cry again, I will chop you into pieces. Tell me the truth, who took the things in my room? If you don't tell me clearly, I will chop you into pieces and eat your meat today."
The child covered his mouth in fear, his big eyes filled with tears, rolling down like drops of water. He looked in the direction of his mother and grandmother, panicked and not knowing what to do.
"Gu Wuyao, let my son go."
"You damn woman, please let my grandson go, or I will never forgive you."
The two women screamed wildly, but because Gu Yan was too fierce before, they only moved their mouths and did not dare to use their hands. Moreover, the blade of Gu Yan's knife was facing outwards, and if one rushed forward rashly, there was no telling who would be hurt. The eldest brother also came out of the house at this time and comforted his son in a righteous manner.
"Don't be afraid, kid. Death can be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. If you die for your family, that's heavier than Mount Tai..."
The Han family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law covered their mouths and cried, but Gu Yan was almost amused by the eldest brother's nonsense and could not help laughing. Oh my god, where did this funny guy come from? You think you are making a revolution, but it is more important than Mount Tai and lighter than a feather. Is this some text that you just memorized verbatim? Are you trying to show off your culture?
When Daniu heard his father saying one death on the left and one death on the right, he was frightened. Every word he heard was more frightening than the kitchen knife in front of his neck. It seemed like he was really going to die and there was no hope.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die... Second Aunt, please don't kill me. My mom told my grandma to take your things. It has nothing to do with me. I haven't even had a sip yet."
These words were like a switch; the yard was already silent before they were even touched. The Han family members once again became wood carvings and clay sculptures, and those watching the fun on the courtyard wall laughed loudly. It's another light comedy. The Han family is so funny. Don't you discuss anything before doing it? How come it ended so quickly just after it began? Or did I scare myself?
"I didn't take it, it was my mother-in-law who took it. I just told her about the malted milk. I'm working in the fields today, so I don't have time for this." The eldest daughter-in-law saw Gu Yan let go of Daniu and raised the knife in her hand. She didn't even need to ask, she had already explained it clearly.
The laughter on the courtyard wall once again proved that the Han family had become a laughing stock, and the old lady had wilted like a deflated balloon. Amid the old man's pretend scolding, he took out Gu Yan's things one by one, his hands shaking exactly the same as when he stole before. It’s just that I was excited before, but now I feel painful.
After counting the things, Gu Yan did not move them into his room. She had just sent the second son of Sister Xu to call the branch secretary. When the secretary arrives, all these will be evidence.
