Celestial grabs dog food

Chapter 3

Gou Sheng has not been coaxed by such words since he was three years old, he just climbed onto the kang without saying a word, pushed the stigma that was already sleeping with his limbs spread out, and got under the quilt.

"Little bastard, you treat yourself as your father just for fun, and if you don't scold for a few days, your body will itch, right?" Li Dahua still suppressed his voice at first, and his voice became louder as he went on.

The stigma and the big grass "hummed" together due to the quarrel.

Gou Sheng remained silent.

Li Dahua became angry and stepped forward to fight.

"Don't, don't, big flower, it's a big night..." Liu Datie stopped him quickly, "Our dog is usually the most clever and sensible, and can count coins. He can do it if he wants to. Send him back!"

"You're the only one who spoils a few brats, you're the one who's in trouble, not my mother!" Li Dahua pinched Liu Datie hard angrily, and then began to undress and get ready to go to bed.

"Be careful, you can't see..."

Gou Sheng turned over, and his hanging heart fell back to its original position - if I don't agree, there's really nothing I can do!

"...you should watch over the children more, don't rush to work in the field, wait for me to come back..." Liu Datie reminded softly.

"I know that you have such a grumpy temper, and it's not the first time you go out..." Li Dahua scolded, "Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow!"

……

The cock crows on the fourth watch of the ugly time. (Equivalent to two or three o'clock in the morning)

Accompanied by the crowing sound one after another outside, there was a "swish" sound from the kang.

When Gousheng was sleeping last night, he was thinking about this matter, and sat up in shock at the slightest sound.

"You calf, why are you so young and clear!" In the darkness, Li Dahua was startled unexpectedly, and cursed in a low voice.

After all, I am still young, even if I know I have to get up, I am willing to get up in my heart, but as I put on clothes, my head is still throbbing.

Li Dahua lighted the oil lamp for a rare time, and with the faint light of the fire, he was angry and funny when he saw his eldest son fishing and jumping, and walked over to help Gou Sheng put his clothes on.

"Yes, call you stubborn!"

When Liu Datie and Gou Sheng packed up and went out, there was still nowhere to be seen outside.

Li Dahua sent the two of them out, fumbled in his pockets for a long time, counted five copper coins and stuffed them for Liu Datie, "When we get to the town, buy a steamed bun and eat first, so we won't lose our energy!"

Liu Datie responded, and carefully hid the copper coins next to his body.

"Mother, look at the pillars and the grass and grass, don't get angry, Dad and I will earn money and come back!" Gou Sheng said with his head raised.

"Bah, I want you to explain to me that you are like a bear to me!" Li Dahua poked his finger heavily on Gou Sheng's forehead, "Don't cause trouble for your father, I understand, or I will break your leg! "

Gou Sheng grinned, that look really similar to Liu Datie...

It takes about two hours to walk from Liushutun to the nearest town.

Gou Sheng grabbed Liu Datie's palm and stepped forward with one deep foot and one shallow foot. After a while, his two legs seemed to lose control. He only knew that numbness alternated. The little food he ate last night was melting into A bubble of urine when I woke up.

Liu Datie noticed that the falling force on his hand was getting stronger and stronger, he turned around and picked up the dog leftover and lifted it to his shoulder.

"Ah—" Gousheng yelled in shock, and all the drowsy ones flew to the sky, wriggling their little buttocks awkwardly.

As the eldest son of the family, he has to take care of a few crying little slugs, and he has to find ways to get more food to fill his stomach every day... It's been a long time since Gousheng has made out with Liu Datie and his wife!

"Sit still, Gousheng, let's rush forward!" Liu Datie supported Gousheng's two thin legs, and really trotted.

Gou Sheng leaned back, nearly fell, and hurriedly put his hands on Liu Datie's head and shouted, "Father, watch your feet!"

"Hehe—" Liu Datie let go of his hand on purpose, and Gousheng yelled again.

Carrying a bed of rotten bedclothes and a seven-year-old child on his back, even though the child was quite thin, after a while, Liu Datie's breathing became short of breath.

Gou Sheng struggled to get down and walked for a while, but he couldn't walk any longer, so Liu Datie hugged him again halfway, so he didn't see the low city wall of the town until it was bright daylight.

After entering the town, Liu Datie spent a copper coin to buy two sorghum flour steamed buns, and the white flour steamed buns cost only one copper coin, and begged for a bowl of water under the impatient eyes of the fat proprietress. Pour into water bag.

The two huddled under the city wall and shared a steamed bun, and Liu Datie wrapped it carefully and hid it in his arms.

Qingpu Town governs six large and small villages including Liushutun, Shangqingtun, and Shandongtun. There are four to five hundred households in the town, which is not a small town. It is considered a county under Jiaxing City. Gou Sheng heard that Yadan, the third son of the long-term worker who had been to the city with the housekeeper Yang, the landlord, said that the magistrate lived in a big house in the city.

Liu Datie went to a small bluestone bridge in the west of the town, where people waiting for work gathered. At this time, there were already more than a dozen young and middle-aged men sitting or standing on the bridge.

"Goofy, keep an eye on things!" Liu Datie confessed.

It’s not the first time Gousheng has come to the town. He leaned on the broken wadding and curled up on the bridge, tilting his head and thinking for a while, seeing that Liu Datie might not be able to get a job for a while. He pulled Liu Datie and carried the broken Xu and Bundle walked towards the south of the town, where relatively well-to-do families in the town lived, such as the cooks from the Zuixiang Building, the police officers from the yamen, and other families with a fairly stable income.

"Gousheng, Gousheng, Dad is waiting for work, don't make trouble..." Liu Datie shouted loudly.

Liu Datie also came to the south of the town a few times. Occasionally, someone would hire a coolie or two for moving house or repairing a house. This kind of private work must be picky in every possible way when encountering a mean master, so Liu When Datie saw the neat rows of small yards, he felt a little daunted, and everyone looked shorter.

"Father, let me look for it. Don't worry, I won't miss your business." Gousheng comforted Liu Datie's hand.

After passing through three rows of small courtyards, Gousheng’s eyes lit up. A small pile of firewood was piled up under the eaves of a courtyard near the last row. An elderly woman was sitting beside her, squinting her eyes and doing needlework. While working, gossiping with the middle-aged woman at the gate of the nearby yard.

All the firewood in the town is bought. Although I don’t know why this family piles the firewood outside, it is obviously impossible to keep it there all the time—even if the family is rich, why not take advantage of it if there is a small bargain!

"Father, wait for me here!"

Gou Sheng took a deep breath before running over quickly.

"Goug Sheng, let's go back quickly..." Liu Datie said anxiously.

"Don't worry, Dad, it will be over soon!" Gou Sheng replied while running.

Liu Datie watched from a distance as his eldest son ran up to the old woman in one breath, pointed to the firewood pile under the eaves, raised his head and said a few words to the old woman, and pointed to himself, feeling more and more in his heart. Get restless - people in this town are not so easy to mess with!

"Daddy, daddy, come here!"

Hearing Gou Sheng's shout, Liu Datie hurriedly stepped over, feeling his knees faintly weak.

"...Grandma Sun is a great person, and Uncle Sun is also very good. He went to chop so much firewood and came back. Dad, we will help Granny Sun chop the firewood and move them in. From now on, we only need to help Granny Sun carry a tank of water every morning. , you can sleep in the woodshed of Grandma Sun's house at night, and you can drink water..."

Liu Datie breathed a sigh of relief until Gou Sheng had finished talking, and smiled at the old woman, "Thank you very much, children are not sensible!"

Grandma Sun looked critically at Liu Datie a few times, "You can only enter the firewood room, you are not allowed to go near the main room or the kitchen, if you want to drink water, ask me to bring it out for you, remember?"

Then, Biaodouzi raised the request again.

"Yes, yes..." Liu Datie nodded repeatedly.

Only then did Grandma Sun enter the house and took out the hatchet, and stopped sewing, and stood by with arms crossed.

Liu Datie swiftly chopped the firewood according to Grandma Sun's request, and moved it to the firewood house neatly.

Only the broken wadding and small bundles were allowed to be put in the firewood room.

"Come back before dark, no one will open the door for you if you are late!"

"I remember, Grandma Sun, don't worry!" Gou Sheng grinned at Grandma Sun fawningly.

In the past, Liu Datie went to the town to find a job, and he stayed for ten days and a half months. For the convenience of carrying, he didn't even bring any broken cotton. Whether it was cold or hot, he would curl up with his clothes and find a shelter One night, it’s better if it doesn’t rain, but if it rains, it’s even more difficult to endure. Where is there any shelter from the wind-the residential area of ​​every family in the town does not allow homeless people or beggars to spend the night!

After Gousheng and Liu Datie left lightly, the middle-aged woman next door came out and said, "Sister Sun is really brave. I don't dare to call anyone into the yard when I'm alone at home. A few days ago, here, the front west side The one from..."

What I'm talking about is that the family in front called some "mad men" to break into the yard and robbed it last year. The eldest daughter in the family was also ruined. I haven't seen it outside until now, and I don't know if it's dead or alive...

Mrs. Sun continued to sew and mend under the sun, and said unmoved: "What are you afraid of? My son is a head catcher in the county government. Who in the ten miles and eight towns has no eyesight and dares to hit our old grandson's house." on the head..."

The middle-aged woman had a look of envy on her face, she looked at the few pieces of firewood scattered outside, and she opened her mouth to say compliments...

Gou Sheng pursed his lips and smiled, and then he quickened his pace...
