063 Go to Aunt Zhang's House

For this meal, even the youngest Gu Xiaoyi added two bowls of rice, and the four children could not eat enough. Rubbing his stomach, he walked gently.

Gu Xiaowan didn't let them lie down immediately after eating, but after a rest, she got up and walked around, which is good for digestion and protects the stomach.

After eating, Gu Xiaowan didn't take a rest, but took Gu Ningping to Aunt Zhang's house again. Gu Ning'an and Gu Xiaoyi were kept at home to pack up their tools, and they would enter the bamboo forest when they came back.

Gu Xiaowan had been to Aunt Zhang's house in a previous life, and probably knew where Aunt Zhang's house was. Especially with Gu Ningping leading the way, the two arrived at Aunt Zhang's house in a short while.

The conditions of Aunt Zhang's house were also average. In the early years, it was better, but it was a pity that Uncle Zhang had no legs, and he could not do the heavy farm work at home. Aunt Zhang took care of everything inside and outside the house.

Life was very hard, but fortunately, Aunt Zhang could calculate and embroider, and often took the embroidered handkerchief to the town to exchange money, which was also an extra income. And now that the stone is bigger, it will also help the family with chores. Life has been better than in the past, especially in the years when Uncle Zhang had an accident.

When Gu Xiaowan arrived, there was no one in the yard. Gu Xiaowan could only call outside: "Aunt Zhang, are you at home?"

"Brother Stone, Brother Stone." Gu Ningping also called out.

"Oh, oh, here, here." Aunt Zhang's voice came from the room.

Aunt Zhang opened the door, and when she saw Gu Xiaowan and Gu Ningping standing outside, she raised her brows with joy: "Girl Gu, why are you here? Come in, come in quickly."

After speaking, he walked out in three steps and two steps, opened the courtyard door, and walked inside holding Gu Xiaowan in one hand and Gu Ningping in the other.

As soon as Gu Xiaowan entered the big room, she saw Uncle Zhang and a little boy eating in front of the table.

Seeing Gu Xiaowan and the others coming in, Uncle Zhang showed a loving smile: "Are the Gu brothers and sisters here?"

Uncle Zhang is about thirty-five or six years old. The hair on his temples is slightly bald, his eyebrows are thick and neat, and his eyes are sparkling. When he saw that it was Gu Xiaowan, he quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks, facing the place where Gu Xiaowan came in, revealing a set of neat and slightly white teeth; because of the bamboo baskets that are woven all the year round, the fingers are particularly thick, and there are still a few holes on the back of the hand, It is estimated that it was left over from the past. Due to the cold weather, the crack has deepened. He was wearing an old blue cotton jacket and blue cotton trousers. Since he lost a leg, Uncle Zhang did not get up, but sat on the stool. The trousers under the table were empty, presumably for the convenience of movement. tied with a rope.

"Uncle Zhang..." Gu Xiaowan knew that the smiling simple and honest man in front of him was a good man who took care of his family.

Although he lost a leg and was physically disabled, Uncle Zhang never gave up on himself. Although he said he couldn't do the farm work outside, Uncle Zhang would weave baskets at home by himself, and then ask Aunt Zhang to take it to the town to sell the money.

Uncle Zhang's craftsmanship is good, and the baskets we make are exquisite and durable. Everyone likes to buy them.

"Alas." Uncle Zhang replied with a smile.

"Brother Shito..." Gu Ningping called out, Xiao Shishi was a little embarrassed, and hummed softly.

I was still eating just now, but when she saw Gu Xiaowan come in, she put down her bowl, stood up and stood aside.

Little Stone is nine years old this year, the only child of Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang. Although a little introverted, he is kind-hearted and takes good care of his sisters and brothers. When he was free, Xiao Shishi would take Gu Ningping up the mountain and down the river, looking for something to eat. Sometimes, if Gu Ningping didn't find anything to eat, Xiao Shishi would take his share to Gu Ningping home. Therefore, Gu Ningping likes small stones very much. Gu Xiaowan also trusts this little brother very much.

Although Gu Xiaowan said that she is only eight years old now, she was already 28 years old in her previous life. Facing this nine-year-old boy, Gu Xiaowan really felt a little embarrassed to call him brother. I had no choice but to smile at Xiao Shishi embarrassedly, even if I said hello.

Seeing Gu Xiaowan smiling sweetly at him, Xiao Shishi blushed even more, with his hands folded on his chest, he didn't know what to do. With that shy appearance, Gu Xiaowan felt even more embarrassed, as if she was teasing a little boy.

Here, Aunt Zhang pulled Gu Xiaowan and kept asking, "Have you eaten yet? Haven't you eaten? Hurry up, Shishi, hurry up and get two bowls and chopsticks."

The stone answered and went to get it.

Gu Xiaowan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Brother Shitou, don't go!" Then she turned her head and said to Aunt Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, don't be too busy, I've already eaten."

"Have you eaten?" Aunt Zhang was a little puzzled, and she was afraid that Gu Xiaowan felt embarrassed, and then said: "You and Ning Ping arrived at Aunt Zhang's house, just like when you arrived at your own home, don't be polite to Aunt Zhang!"

"Aunt Zhang, I'm really not being polite to you. We really ate and came here." Gu Xiaowan felt warm when she heard Aunt Zhang's words, at least someone really cares about you.

Aunt Zhang glanced at Gu Xiaowan and Gu Ningping with suspicion.

Gu Ningping nodded and said that he had eaten. Seeing that Aunt Zhang was still skeptical, Gu Ningping patted his stomach: "Aunt Zhang, we have really eaten. Well, we are full!"

"Then what did you eat for lunch today?" Aunt Zhang was still worried, Gu Xiaowan was the eldest and all the meals at home were prepared by Gu Xiaowan, so it would be best to ask her.

"Aunt Zhang, we ate bamboo shoots at noon today." Gu Ningping replied first.

"You guys go dig up bamboo shoots to eat?" When Aunt Zhang heard that the Gu family and brothers ate bamboo shoots on the mountain that were not even eaten by pigs, her expression changed immediately, and she became anxious: "How can you eat that? The more you eat, the more hungry you become. What's wrong with your belly. No stone,

Come and get two bowls and chopsticks. "

Seeing that Aunt Zhang was in a hurry, Gu Xiaowan was very moved, but she was a little embarrassed. She ate meat at home, and she hadn't told Aunt Zhang yet. Aunt Zhang always thought that her family was still hungry. Although the conditions at home are not very good, but they are able to eat enough.

"Aunt Zhang, don't worry! Let me tell you." Gu Xiaowan held down the anxious Aunt Zhang.
