The next morning, the breeze was blowing, bringing a chill. Zeng Wenjuan and her son were wearing military coats last night, and they snuggled together, so they didn't feel cold.
After Zeng Wenjuan got up, she kissed Goudan on the cheek while he was sleeping, and then left the room. There was nothing in the house, so she could only cook some rice porridge.
"Wuuuu...Mom...don't abandon Goudan." When Goudan woke up, he didn't see Zeng Wenjuan by his side. He immediately burst into tears anxiously.
"Mom is at home! She won't abandon Goudan. Mom has cooked some rice porridge. We will go up the mountain after eating and bring back some wild vegetables and anything else. We can also add a dish." Zeng Wenjuan heard the noise and quickly walked over to Goudan, picked him up and comforted him.
Fortunately, Goudan was coaxed into calming down after a while. However, one thing that could be seen at a glance was that he was still afraid that Zeng Wenjuan would abandon him. While in Zeng Wenjuan's arms, he still held onto her sleeve tightly.
"Mom will not abandon you. Our Goudan is so well-behaved and obedient. You were born after mom carried you for ten months. It was very hard to give birth to you. Don't worry, Goudan. Mom just wants you to be healthy and happy. And your dad has held you in his hands since you were a child." Zeng Wenjuan carried a backpack with Goudan sitting in it, and the mother and son walked straight to the back mountain.
When Goudan heard the news about his father whom he had never met (he had never seen him since he was old enough to understand things), he asked curiously, "Mom, why didn't he come back?"
"Your father is a great hero, defending our country outside. He will be back during the holidays, or we can go find him and stay together as a family. What do you think?" Zeng Wenjuan asked with a smile.
Goudan thought of something and asked, "Is he better than Ergou's father? Can he kill the wild boar? Can he let me ride the big horse?"
Ergou is the son of hunter Sun Fugui, the same age as Goudan, and they get along well. Last year, Sun Fugui killed a wild boar and distributed the meat to the villagers, and everyone was very grateful to him. That was also the first time Goudan ate meat.
"You'll know when you see it, but mom thinks your father is a very good man and he cares about his family." Zeng Wenjuan expressed her feelings.
"Then why didn't my father take us away with him? Then grandma wouldn't dare to bully us." Goudan questioned.
Zeng Wenjuan was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that her child would have such thoughts: "Adults also have their own difficulties, but our lives will get better and better. Do you believe me?"
"I believe in my mother. I'm happy as long as I'm with her." Goudan is really a good son.
When they reached the back hill, where everyone often dug wild vegetables, Zeng Wenjuan put the backpack on the ground and carried Goudan out. She gently reminded him, "Goudan, be good here. Mom is over there, and she can see you as soon as she looks up."
"Mom, I can also help you pick wild vegetables. I'll go with you, I don't want to be too far away from you." Goudan said softly.
Zeng Wenjuan looked at Goudan's stubborn face and nodded in agreement: "Okay, if you are tired, sit on the stone and take a rest."
"Okay." Goudan nodded loudly.
As the two of them were picking wild vegetables, Zeng Wenjuan felt that her golden finger was shining, but she didn't see anything good around!
Zeng Wenjuan felt very confused, and looked up and said to Goudan, "Let's go over there! All the wild vegetables here have been picked up. Are you tired? Do you want me to carry you?"
"No, Mom is tired too. I can walk by myself. I am a man and I don't need your help." Goudan shook his head and refused.
The mother and son walked to the other side. Zeng Wenjuan sensed that the light in the space was even brighter. She suspected that the place she was going to was where the baby was. She smiled happily.
She remembered that in the book, after Zhao Zhaocai robbed the space, he found a ginseng on the mountain and sold it for 800 yuan. If she could find it, not only could she live, but she would also have to pay back half of the money she had to pay for the Zhao family's retirement.
Zeng Wenjuan held Goudan's hand and walked over to Tianma. But Zeng Wenjuan didn't react at all. After all, she had never learned it before, so how could she recognize what was what?
The mother and son went to the other side. Few people came to this place just now. It might be because it was closer to the mountains and everyone was afraid of large prey!
"Oh, there are so many shepherd's purse here. We can have some green vegetables tonight. We can also give some to your village head grandpa and grandma." Zeng Wenjuan was very happy to see a large piece of shepherd's purse. After all, the wild vegetables outside were picked by people from several nearby villages. It is really rare to have such a large piece of fresh and green shepherd's purse.
Goudan grew up in the village. Ever since he could remember, he had been eating all kinds of wild vegetables, so he naturally recognized them: "Mom, I'll help you." Goudan was pulling the wild vegetables clumsily, and his grunting appearance made people feel distressed.
Zeng Wenjuan's eyes turned red. If only she could wake up earlier, Goudan wouldn't have to suffer so much. But Zeng Wenjuan still agreed to let the child help her. Only when the child practices it himself, will he know how tired his parents are and will he really feel sorry for them.
I don’t know how long it took, but Goudan couldn’t hold on any longer. He gasped and said, “Mom, I’m tired.”
Zeng Wenjuan paused while picking wild vegetables. She slowly raised her head and saw the big rock opposite. Zeng Wenjuan pointed at the rock and said, "Goudan, just sit on that rock. When mom finishes picking these wild vegetables, she will go home."
Goudan followed Zeng Wenjuan's hand and saw the stone. He nodded obediently: "I know, mother. I will wait for you here obediently."
After watching Goudan sit down, Zeng Wenjuan lowered her head to pick wild vegetables. During this period of time, the space was emitting light, but Zeng Wenjuan couldn't figure out where the good things were.
"Ah..." Goudan suddenly shouted.
Zeng Wenjuan looked over and was almost scared out of her wits. A poisonous-looking king cobra was staring at Goudan, and Goudan was so scared that he peed himself as he faced the poisonous snake.
"Goudan, don't move! Mother is here! I will protect you, don't be afraid! Mother is here, and nothing will happen to you." Zeng Wenjuan comforted Goudan gently, but she was afraid that she would disturb the poisonous snake, and then it would bite her son, which would be bad.
When Goudan heard Zeng Wenjuan's words, he was so scared that he was shaking, but he didn't shout or cry. He just sat there shaking with fear. When the wind blew, Goudan felt a chill in his lower body through his already soaked pants.
Zeng Wenjuan slowly approached with a rusty sickle. She had just picked it up while picking wild vegetables. Maybe someone had dropped it here! But now it was her only weapon to save her life. She could only succeed, not fail.
The consequences of failure are unbelievable. What will happen to Goudan? Zeng Wenjuan will definitely go with him. Is it true that I can't change the ending of the book? Zeng Wenjuan thought sadly.
