Chapter 16: Changing the names of the girls
soon.
Lin Xiuzhen had already dug the bamboo shoots, but had not dug up some that were too small, so she planned to wait until the next batch was bigger before digging them up.
Then I packed up and went home.
When we got home, Gu Laidi had already prepared the meal.
Lin Xiuzhen didn't say anything. She just sat down and started eating. Gu Laidi glanced at Lin Xiuzhen, then looked in the direction of the house, with some hesitation in her eyes.
"What do you want to say?"
Lin Xiuzhen looked at her hesitant look and couldn't help asking.
"No, mother, is my little brother okay?"
"It's okay, don't worry about it. I'll give you some food later. Just don't starve to death."
"oh!"
There was an inexplicable expression of joy on Gu Laidie's face at this moment.
I just feel inexplicably that the younger brother who had always been favored before doesn't seem so important anymore.
I originally thought that I would have no food to eat in the evening, but I didn’t expect that there would be no share for Gu Jiabao.
I felt comfortable for some reason.
Lin Xiuzhen glanced at the third girl. She thought she had great acting skills, but in fact, her mind was all on her face.
After all, I have not experienced so much, and I have been suppressed since I was a child. Most of the time, I have only learned some basic survival skills, but my acting skills are still a little lacking.
However, when it comes to acting skills, Lin Xiuzhen has to admit that although these girls look skinny now, their bone structure is actually good.
I just don't know if she will look better after gaining weight.
While Lin Xiuzhen was eating, she was thinking about many things.
After they both finished their meal and Gu Laidie was about to clean up the dishes, Lin Xiuzhen suddenly spoke.
"I'm going to change your names. Take a look. I'm going to name you four sisters according to the seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Take a look and see if there's anything you like."
After saying that, he slammed the paper on the table.
Gu Laidie couldn't help but pause while cleaning up the dishes.
"Change? Change the name?"
Gu Lai Di was a little bit unbelievable.
Looking at the paper in front of him again, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Well, take a look."
After saying that, Lin Xiuzhen got up and went back to the house, but before leaving, she did not forget to say, "Write down any names you like, and go to the town to change their names tomorrow. Change your younger sister's name as well."
After saying that, he left.
Gu Lai Di looked incredulous. After Lin Xiuzhen left, she picked up the paper on the table. It was clearly a light piece of paper, but it inexplicably seemed to have a bit more weight.
She felt her heart a little heavy.
When I saw the names of the sisters above, I couldn't help but cry out loud.
Below the names of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, a few names were written crookedly.
They all sound great.
She later chose a name, Gu Qiujin, because she inexplicably liked this name, as if it was specially chosen for her.
The names of the other sisters were also very good, and Gu Laidi suddenly felt a sour taste in her nose.
I don’t know why, but I felt like crying these past two days, even though I wasn’t the type of person who cries a lot before.
Finally, he went to the stove, picked up a piece of charcoal, and wrote his name on the ground stroke by stroke.
She had studied up to junior high school, so writing her name was not a difficult task for her, but tonight she felt inexplicably trembling.
Before I knew it, there were many more words written in charcoal on the ground.
When she saw these words, Gu Lai Di couldn't help crying again.
Tears flowed out like a flood that broke through a dam.
Finally, after crying for a while, he suddenly started laughing.
Then he carefully put the paper away.
Then he went to wash the dishes with brisk steps.
Washing dishes has never felt so easy.
Lin Xiuzhen was not the kind of person who really didn't care about her own children, so after returning, she listened carefully to the noise outside.
When I saw Gu Laidi washing the dishes with such brisk steps, I knew that this girl had already chosen a name.
I feel relieved too.
I don't ask my daughter to do anything, but I hope she can slowly let go of the grudge in her heart. This will be good for everyone.
Lin Xiuzhen still wanted to rely on these children in the future.
Anyway, it is too late to train again, so the best way is to use the current effective resources and create greater benefits for yourself.
Even if people say that Lin Xiuzhen is a profiteer, at her age, there is nothing to worry about.
Lin Xiuzhen was just about to go to sleep when she thought of the bamboo shoots she had dug. It didn't seem good to leave them overnight, so she got up and prepared to wash them.
Cook it first, and then soak it after you prepare the ingredients tomorrow.
When Gu Lai Di saw Lin Xiuzhen get up, she was also startled. After calling her mother, she waited for Lin Xiuzhen's next words.
Lin Xiuzhen poured all the bamboo shoots in the basket into the basin to wash them. Gu Laidi had already washed the dishes and then stood in front of Lin Xiuzhen.
"Mom, is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Xiuzhen glanced at her and then said, "Help me find a jar that can hold this, wash it and dry it, I'll need it later!"
"good."
The mother and daughter were busy here, and Gu Jiabao was waiting for Lin Xiuzhen to come and coax him. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, he heard the sound of someone busy outside.
He actually wanted to go out and take a look, but now his whole body ached whenever he moved, so he didn't dare to get up and could only groan in the room.
But no one outside paid attention to his voice.
The mother and daughter worked for a long time, and then looked at the existing ingredients at home. They found that everything else was available except the chili pepper.
I decided to soak them first and look for more tomorrow. I also have to make pickled peppers after that. It was a bit of a mistake to dig the bamboo shoots before.
But since it's already been made, Lin Xiuzhen might as well give it a try. Maybe it really can be eaten?
The two of them worked for a long time and finally put the cleaned and sorted bamboo shoots into the jars.
"Okay, that's it. You go back and rest first. I can handle this myself."
"Okay, then mother, if you need anything, just call me!"
This time, Gu Laidie's attitude towards Lin Xiuzhen had obviously changed.
Lin Xiuzhen was quite satisfied.
People of this era are simple, but simplicity has its own merits.
There is no need to go around in circles. As long as you are sincere to each other, they will feel it and return the same sincerity to you.
After Gu Lai Di left, Lin Xiuzhen quietly poured a few drops of spiritual spring water into the jar, and there was no more.
Only then did I go back to sleep with peace of mind.
After working all night, Lin Xiuzhen fell asleep almost as soon as she woke up.
When she woke up the next day, it was still daybreak. Lin Xiuzhen couldn't sleep because of something she was thinking about, so she went to the mountain to pick some chili peppers and put them in the bamboo shoots.
I calmed it down a bit. In this weather, I put it in well water and chilled it. It hasn't gone bad yet.
Lin Xiuzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Then he went out.
When she came back, her body was a little wet, and the morning dew was still heavy, so Lin Xiuzhen went back to change her clothes.
Gu Lai Di happened to get up, so she started to make breakfast.
