Chapter 54
Feng Tiansheng saw Gu Xia so optimistic, and finally felt relieved. No difficulties could be hindered by the little girl. The two returned to the aunt together. On the way, Gu Xia introduced some good places in the village to Feng Tiansheng, including an orchard and a fish pond to the east, and a mountain to the west, with a small river spreading over there. The river water was clear and the scenery was very beautiful.
Feng Tiansheng said: "I really like this place and hope that it can be developed here in the future and become a scenic spot or something."
"Yes, but I have to wait. It's not possible now." Gu Xia thought to himself that it will take at least twenty or thirty years to develop tourism. Northerners should not be very interested in these things now. Some people can't even eat and can't even think of traveling.
Walking on the road, Gu Xia saw a lot of wild vegetables. The wild vegetables are really too old now. The color is dark green and the taste is bitter but not delicious. However, if you look carefully, it will still be a little tender and edible. Wild celery and wild onions. Chopped fried eggs and taste good.
There were also some wild fruits, and Gu Xia was talking to Feng Tiansheng while picking wild vegetables. Feng Tiansheng saw that she had no place to put on her clothes and took off her clothes. She asked her to put them in her clothes.
"This way you can install more."
Gu Xia smiled and nodded, picking a lot of wild vegetables.
Feng Tiansheng said: "Actually, these wild vegetables are the best to make dumplings. If possible, let's cut a piece of meat and make dumplings."
Gu Xia patted his head with his hand: "Why didn't I expect it! There are meat sellers in the butcher shop in front, so let's make dumplings and eat." The two of them picked up while walking, and they picked a bundle.
In addition, Gu Xia also found a lot of wild fruits: "This kind of berries is not as dark as black, but tastes sour and sweet. Let's pick them home and soak them in cold water. They are delicious and better than cherries."
"Okay, let's pick some." The two of them walked while picking fruits, and went to the shop, cutting two kilograms of meat. They went to the only store in the village and bought a few bottles of canned food, a box of biscuits and milk powder. These were all for the aunt.
The two of them were about to take the aunt to the hospital, so they didn't buy much. She had already gotten up at this time, squatting there, trying hard to fill the rice from the rice jar, preparing to cook.
Gu Xia hurried over: "Auntie, why are you getting up? Let me do it!"
"You are here, I always have to make you delicious food. It's okay, I can do my job." She said and started coughing violently.
"I'll do it, I'll clean up the house. Brother Feng, please help me help the aunt into the house. Just come, aunt, please rest and see my skills." Gu Xia smiled and took the rice bowl to serve rice.
Feng Tiansheng helped her back and said, "You lie down, let's cook, and after dinner, let's leave here together. I'll take you to the city for medical treatment."
The old lady quickly refused. She felt that she was going to die, so why would she spend money to make trouble? No one's family is rich now, so there is no need to worry about it.
But Feng Tiansheng's attitude was very firm: "Just listen to us! You can't stay here all the time. What if there is a misdiagnosis here? You can't give up hope. Besides, after so many years, don't you miss my aunt, it's good to see her."
The old lady thought of the girl, so she had to agree. She sat there and grabbed Feng Tiansheng's wrist and patted the back of his hand: "Your aunt is a good person, our son is not lucky. Now she is living a good life, so I feel relieved. You should live a good life with Xia Xia."
Feng Tiansheng was stunned. Knowing that the old lady had misunderstood, he quickly laughed, "Gu Xia is going to school!"
"Okay, girls are good at going to school. People nowadays are culture-oriented. You two can live a better life in the future. Children can also receive education."
Feng Tiansheng was very embarrassed and wanted to explain to the old lady, but she could not even open her eyes. Feng Tiansheng quickly helped her lie on the kang and let her fall asleep.
There was only one handful of rice in the rice jar on Gu Xia, and the food was not enough to eat. He could not use this place. He immediately found corn flour and black bean noodles mixed with flour and prepared to make dumplings. Apart from the Chinese New Year, no one can afford pure flour.
Gu Xia gave the noodles and put the basin there to wake up. She started wiping around with the cloth, and replaced the dirty bedding. She stopped washing it when she returned to school. She cleaned up the house first.
Feng Tiansheng was already chopping the meat filling at this time: "Just go, I can cook, I will cook."
"OK."
After the two agreed, Gu Xia cleaned up the fallen leaves and garbage in the house and yard, and Feng Tiansheng was chopping dumpling filling to make dumplings.
After the dumplings were put into the pot, Gu Xia patted another cucumber and served the dumplings.
The old lady sat by the kang, smelling the fragrance of dumplings, and her voice was choked: "I haven't eaten dumplings for several years, right?"
The elderly are generally more cost-effective. They are willing to buy meat and eat dumplings. In addition, they can’t afford to get sick. These days, it’s hard to drink hot water. The neighbors occasionally give them a meal, and most of them are just eating cold steamed buns.
"Auntie, please have a good meal. Eat well so that you won't get sick."
Feng Tiansheng also said: "Yes, auntie tastes my skills."
The old lady nodded and started eating dumplings.
To be honest, Gu Xia ate very simple, and she didn't eat such home-cooked dishes for a while. Feng Tiansheng followed the army to eat big pot rice, which means he was full, so they all had a good meal.
After they finished eating, they packed up and prepared to leave the village. But at this time, a rumbling sound of muffled thunder sounded outside, as if it was about to rain heavily.
The old lady was thinking about staying here for one night, but Gu Xia was unwilling to do so. How could she sleep? There was only a small kang, and the three of them couldn't sleep. It would definitely be heard from then on. Gu Xia and a man were living in the same room, and all kinds of dirty water were poured over. It didn't matter to me.
But they are in the army, how can they be unlucky with them?
In addition, there is no clean bedding, so it is very difficult.
Feng Tiansheng said, "Let's leave here quickly. Staying here is a lot of trouble at night. Now you can have the chance to catch the last train."
The old lady said, "Okay, then I'll bother you."
