days of being forced

"That's not true." Seeing that the little guy was about to cry, Gu Xingzhi also stopped in moderation, "Don't worry, no one will laugh at you."

Jiang Ning has always believed in what Gu Xingzhi said, and often forgot to explore the reasons behind it. After all, he knows that Gu Xingzhi will never harm him. This inexplicable trust makes him look particularly cute.

Putting on his clothes in a hurry, he urged Gu Xingzhi to go out and get him some water to wash up. After everything was done, the smoke from the roof of Gu's house was already rising.

At noon in Gu's family, Song's, the oldest family, used to cook, but Zhao Xiulan was worried that her son would not get up until noon, so she adjusted the order with Song, and asked to come back to cook lunch.

The result was exactly as she expected, when she came back, there was still no movement in her son's room.

When Jiang Ning saw Zhao Xiulan in the kitchen, he was terrified, and he called out cautiously: "Mom, I'll help you cook together."

Jiang Ning has also heard about Zhao Xiulan's temperament, and it is said that he is relatively harsh, but unexpectedly Zhao Xiulan did not make things difficult for him.

He just said "hmm" with a serious face and disappeared.

Jiang Ning looked in the kitchen and took the initiative to cut vegetables.

Zhao Xiulan: "Xiao Er said that you will all live in the city?"

"Yes." He didn't dare to speak to Zhao Xiulan.

There was another silence, and after a while, Zhao Xiulan asked, "Can you cook?"

"Yes." This Jiang Ning knew how to answer: "I learned something in the Hou's house before, and after I arrived at the Yang's house, they often asked me to cook." Full, was scolded by Yang Taohua all the time, but gradually learned it.

Zhao Xiulan nodded, "Then you can cook today's lunch." She wants to see if Jiang Ning can take good care of his son.

Jiang Ning responded obediently, and the two of them rarely talked after that.

When the meal was ready, the members of the Gu family came back one by one.Jiang Ning served the dishes, and at the table, Gu Lishi and Gu Liqin said something strangely accusing him of not cooking in the morning. As if he didn't hear, he ate his meal on his own.

"Okay." Gu Xingzhi said calmly, "Eat quietly."

In front of his mother, it is not good for him to defend Jiang Ning from the beginning, and it is not good for Gu Lishi to talk too much when he is an elder, but he can't listen to Gu Liqin like this.

Gu Liqin: "Is there something wrong with what I said? The younger sister of your second room has occupied my position for more than ten years, and the older brother has spoken harshly to my sister-in-law. It's really awe-inspiring."

Gu Xingzhi has never been a fair person, he only knows that it is most reasonable for him to live well.What's more, he didn't think that Gu Erlang, who used to work as diligently as an old cow and now gave him three taels of silver every month after he was with him, couldn't feel sorry for other people.

The order of seniority is important, but those who can give money have the highest status in ordinary people's families.

He glanced at Gu Liqin with a half-smile: "It's not as good as my sister who took care of the nephew's house before she got married. My sister is so capable, you should praise her more outside, so that she can find a good man as soon as possible." Jun, you can also make good use of her talent."

The son said so, of course Zhao Xiulan also cooperated and said: "Then I have to talk about it, Liqin, you should also be considered at your age."

The run was a run, and she didn't really want to say it outside. Although she was almost worn out by Gu Liqin's white-eyed attitude, she was the one who raised such a big child.

The mother and son sang together, causing Gu Liqin to drop the bowl and walk away angrily.

Jiang Ning lowered his head and pursed his lips, snickering.

After dinner, Jiang Ning took the initiative to wash the dishes, but because he was at home, Gu Xingzhi didn't bother to help him.On the third day, Gu Xingzhi brought Jiang Ning back to Yang's house, and just went through a formality. The relationship between the two parties was not deep, and they almost walked in and gave some token gifts before leaving.

After returning to the gate, it was time for Gu Xingzhi to go back to guard the city gate.

As for the fact that he came back suddenly without saying hello to his superiors before, Tan Yongyi had told him about it on the day they got married, and it seemed that there was nothing serious about it.

The next morning, after breakfast, the two of them simply arranged the things in the house and brought what they should bring. After all, there was nothing in the yard he rented in the city.

After tidying up a lot, Gu Xingzhi held the bag in his hands, took a look around the room to confirm that there was nothing missing, and said to Jiang Ning, "Let's go."

The two walked into the courtyard and were about to go out when Jiang Ning suddenly pulled Gu Xingzhi's sleeve, Gu Xingzhi looked down at him in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ning pointed to one side, Gu Xingzhi looked in the direction he pointed, Gu Mingzheng was holding the door frame with his small hand, looking at them sadly.

What a pitiful little boy, Gu Xingzhi sighed in his heart, he felt that this kid Gu Ming always looked pitiful.

He waved at Gu Ming, Gu Ming's eyes lit up, he ran over immediately and whispered, "Brother."

"How's your reading going?"

Gu Mingdao: "I know many characters in the book. Sister Qingqing taught us a very simple method. According to the pinyin, I can memorize new characters at any time every day. I also do my homework very seriously every day. I can memorize all the texts Sister Qingqing asked me to memorize now."

He has a single-minded mind, and he keeps memorizing when he can't remember it. If he can't remember it once, he can recite it ten or thirty times. Although he recites things slower than others, he remembers things very firmly.

"En." Gu Xingzhi praised Gu Ming with his expectant eyes: "Keep working hard in the future, and when you reach the age, I will send you to the school in the town to study."

"Okay." A smile appeared on Gu Ming's face.

After briefly speaking, Gu Xingzhi took Jiang Ning and continued to leave. They brought a lot of things, and they found a carriage in advance, and finally arrived at Jiaoyang City around noon.

"Come down." Gu Xingzhi jumped out of the car first, and then helped Jiang Ning down.

The location where they got off the car was still some distance from the small courtyard they rented, and there were many pedestrians coming and going around. Gu Xingzhi could feel that almost most of the people's eyes stopped on Jiang Ning as soon as he appeared. .

The current Jiang Ning is much fresher and more attractive than before.

Holding Jiang Ning's hand, Gu Xingzhi led the people all the way to the place he rented.

It is said to be a small courtyard, but the space inside is absolutely spacious, especially for two people.

Jiang Ning didn't have anything in his hand, so he took the key to open the door first, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he walked forward quickly and looked around. With a smile on his face, he turned his head and smiled at Gu Xingzhi: "This courtyard Looks good, I like it."

"Just like it." Gu Xingzhi pointed to the room, and said, "Put the things in your hands first and then look at them slowly. That room is where we sleep, so just put it in there."

"Okay." Jiang Ning trotted over cheerfully. After opening the door, he was about to go in, but when he heard a strange voice, he immediately rushed towards Gu Xingzhi screaming in fright.

It was inconvenient for Gu Xingzhi to hold something, so he had to open his arms to let Jiang Ning hide in his arms, and said helplessly, "What's wrong?"

"I heard rats screeching inside. It's really scary. Let's find another place to live. You said you still have money on your body. Another one should be enough. Otherwise, if the rat crawls into our bed at night, What if I bit my toe?!" Jiang Ning squeezed against Gu Xingzhi while covering her face.

"Didn't I see a mouse before, why don't we bring a cat back?" He suspected that Jiang Ning had heard it wrong, and he had taken this issue into consideration when he rented the small courtyard.

Could it be the mouse that he only had in the past few days when he came home?

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Jiang Ning retorted: "It's okay to keep cats, but there are really mice in it, and I can hear them screaming!"

"Aww???" Gu Xingzhi said, "Are you sure that's what the mouse calls?"

Shouldn't mice be squeaking?

Jiang Ning was straightforward: "You can call it whatever you like, why do you care so much?" He actually didn't know what the mouse should be called. He didn't know there was such a creature when he was in the Hou Mansion. Later, when I returned to live in Yang's house, I realized that there was a big, dingy rat.

He had only seen mice in such a place, so he didn't know much about it.

Although the rat's cry just now was different from what he heard in Yang's house, it might be because Yang's house is in a small remote village, and the rats there spoke a dialect.

And the mice in Jiaoyang City speak Mandarin.

People in different places speak different things, and so should rats in different places.Besides, among the animals in the house, apart from cats, dogs and mice, Jiang Ning didn't know any other small animals that could make sounds, so his first reaction was mice.

Gu Xingzhi patted his head amusedly: "Okay, I'll go over and have a look."

"Yeah." Jiang Ning followed Gu Xingzhi carefully, and asked him to put the things in his hands on the stone table in the courtyard.He thought that if the mouse ran towards them later, he would just be able to jump on Gu Xingzhi's back, and he couldn't let these extra things affect his performance.

It can be said to be quite intelligent.

Pushing open the door, at this moment because of the full preparation, the childish cry of the little animal came to Jiang Ning's ears, and he unexpectedly felt a little cute, and his heart was itchy.

Maybe it really wasn't a big gray mouse.

As soon as Gu Xingzhi heard the sound, his eyes turned to the big wooden basin on the table, and he probably understood in his heart that the Gale Dog should have been hatched. He didn't expect that it could be hatched so casually. Spirit beasts that are not tall just don't pay attention.

In this way, Haifeng Dog, who has not yet seen his master, has been despised by his master.

When I came to the big tub, I saw a slap-sized dog cub inside, trying to dig the water to prevent himself from sinking, and raised its furry head and howled. It could be seen that although it was just born , but it was quite sad, and I have gone through a life-and-death struggle for an unknown amount of time.

Gu Xingzhi: ...

"Wow, so cute." Jiang Ning was immediately captured by this cutie, and hugged the cub out of the basin very affectionately.

Although the breath told the Gale Dog that the person next to the cub was its master, but it loved Jiang Ning, who rescued him from the dire straits, and he had unilaterally decided to abandon his master in his heart.

Then it burrowed into Jiang Ning's arms with tears in its eyes. Although the sun is still there in the current weather, the temperature difference between day and night has become larger. Even though it is daytime, the room is still cold.

In short, it's cold.

Looking at the shivering puppy cub curled up in his hands, Jiang Ning was worried, "It's so small, how could it be put into cold water?"

While talking, he directly looked in the room to quickly find a usable cloth, took the handkerchief over and gently wiped off the water on the puppy and cub.

Gu Xingzhi took the cub with a calm voice: "I'll do it."

Jiang Ning handed the cub over involuntarily, and Gu Xingzhi directly circulated his aura, and the Gale Dog cub in his hand was completely dry. Through the thin hair on the cub's body, he could still feel the warmth of his body. warm temperature.

The baby Haifeng dog suddenly went from winter to summer, and the discomfort on his body disappeared. He was so surprised that he didn't realize it for a long time. After looking at Gu Xingzhi for a long time, he barked at him for some unknown reason.

Gu Xingzhi ignored it, and returned the cub to Jiang Ning, "This is an egg I got by accident before. It said it needs to hatch by itself. When I went out, I put it in hot water and put it in hot water. Qingqing came to call me, and I forgot about it until we got married and came back. I didn't expect it to be hatched so easily."

Perhaps feeling the subtle contempt in his tone, the blast dog cub yelled at him angrily for a long time.

Dogs can still come out of eggs!Jiang Ning muttered a few words in his heart, but soon his mind was occupied by another question.

"Then it hasn't eaten in the past few days?" Looking at the angry cub in his hand, Jiang Ning thought, this vitality is really tenacious, but he was also worried, "Let's go buy some food for it. "

"Don't worry." Gu Xingzhi took out most of the remaining eggshells in the wooden basin, and handed a small piece to Jiang Ning, "Just give it this to eat, this kind of newborn cub is more suitable Eat this, and prepare some goat milk for it at night."

These eggshells contain many things that are beneficial to the cub's body, and it can be said to be a great tonic for the puppy of the Gale Dog, and it is the most suitable.

In the past few days, it has been relying on this to live.
