Jiankang is their hometown, most of their relatives are there, and both children know it.
Hearing what his mother said, Gu Hai didn't have any objections. He knew that his mother was too tired to support the family by herself. When she returned to her clan and had so many relatives to take care of her, her mother wouldn't have to work so hard.
"Okay, I can see my second uncle, and brother Hua Qing..." He cheered, as if he couldn't wait to see those relatives.
In fact, he has only seen those relatives two or three times as long as he can remember, and I'm afraid he can't even remember their appearance.
Ms. Cao naturally understood the child's thoughts. She was pleased that the child was so sensible, and felt guilty that her family's family background had declined and she had to leave the children to live under someone else's roof.
"Your brother Huaqing has already been selected as a scholar. Studying with him will make great progress. The Eighteenth Mother..." Mrs. Cao stroked her son's head and turned to look at her daughter, "The Eighteenth Mother can also follow Do you think it’s okay to keep the sisters there?”
"Not good." Gu Shiba Niang shook her head.
This child often said the words "good" and "bad" came out of her mouth for the first time. Cao and Gu Hai were a little surprised.
"Why?" Gu Hai asked immediately, trying to convince her, "Sister, Jiankang is so much fun, and... there are so many delicious things... you forgot about the spicy duck head that daddy said..."
Gu Shiba Niang shook her head and grabbed the corner of Mrs. Cao's clothes, "No, I want to stay here. It smells like dad here."
They have been living here since birth. The three of them couldn't help but look around the yard. Every plant, tree, brick and tile was engraved with traces of life.
"..Dad likes to teach me how to read here..." Gu Shiba Niang pointed to the pomegranate tree in the yard, "..Dad likes to practice calligraphy there..."
As she spoke, she hugged Mrs. Cao's arm and said, "Mom, I don't want to leave here. Don't leave dad here alone."
Seeing the deep reluctance in her daughter's eyes, Mrs. Cao couldn't help but feel a sore nose. She reached out and hugged her daughter, "Okay, we won't leave."
Gu Hai couldn't help but frown, feeling that his sister was a bit ignorant, so he had to find an opportunity to explain it to her.
He didn't wait long and soon got the opportunity. The next day, Cao went to ask someone to sell the needlework he had made. Gu Hai grabbed a pancake and prepared to go to school. When he came to the door, he hesitated again, turned around and picked up the firewood behind the door. knife.
"Brother." Gu Shiba Niang walked out of the house.
Gu Hai hurriedly hid the woodcutter behind his back and said with a grin, "Is Eighteenth Mother up? Go eat quickly, I'm going to school."
As she spoke, she was about to leave, but Gu Shiba Niang ran a few steps and caught her.
"Eighteen Mother, be careful..." Gu Hai was startled and hurriedly helped her.
In his impression, his sister is a person made of lamp grass, who can fall down when the wind blows. These days, his mother works day and night, and his sister is alone at home during the day. He impulsively wants to relieve her boredom, so he takes her to fight. Chai, he didn't expect that he could fall down even though he was walking well. He didn't need his mother to blame him, and he hated himself to death.
"Brother, I know life at home is difficult, so let's do this." Gu Shiba thought for a while and said, "You go and study peacefully. After class, I will collect firewood with you. This will not delay your study. There will be no shortage of firewood…”
Before she finished her words, Gu Hai waved his hands to create a gust of wind.
"I won't dare to take you up the mountain even if I die... My dear sister, it's better for you to rest at home and stay strong." He waved his hands and said.
"Brother." Gu Shiba Niang interrupted him in a deep voice, "Just because I stumbled while walking, will I stop walking? If so, wouldn't all the toddlers in the world be able to learn to walk?"
Gu Hai was stunned. This was the first time he saw his sister look so solemn.
"So, if my brother is scolded by my husband, will he never study again?" Gu Shiba Niang's voice trembled slightly, and she took a step forward.
In his previous life, Gu Hai was impulsive and sensitive. He was ridiculed over and over again by others and punished by his teacher, so he finally gave up his studies and his own life.
Her brother is actually a very qualified person. Gu Shiba Niang's eyes are a little red, but he is too young and has been disrupted by the sudden difficulties in life. This time, she will do her best to help him. share.
Seeing how solemn she said it, Gu Hai couldn't help but laugh. He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Sister, what's the point of this!" He raised his chin slightly as he said, "The Master said that knowing shame is close to courage. Mr. scolded me. If I don’t have enough, I can reflect on myself and work hard. How can I be ashamed and not study?”
"Okay, brother, remember, if someone laughs at you in the future, you must not give up on yourself." Gu Shiba's voice was already choked when she said this.
"That's natural." Gu Hai said, looking a little surprised. He didn't understand why his sister suddenly mentioned this. Didn't they just talk about going up the mountain to collect firewood
Now that the topic has gone far, he also remembered one thing.
"Sister, listen to brother, let's go back to Jiankang." He said with a facelift. He was a little worried at the same time, fearing that his sister would be unhappy if he spoke too harshly, so he carefully checked Gu Shiba Niang's face.
She has a pointed face, bright almond-shaped eyes, and a calm expression. There is no trace of panic in her brows due to the dramatic changes in family affairs in the past.
My sister...is really different from before. She must have been frightened some time ago, maybe because she couldn't accept the illness of her father who loves her the most. Now, she is finally better.
Gu Hai breathed a long sigh of relief and said what he was thinking, "... This way, mother doesn't have to work so hard. Our relatives will take care of us..."
"Brother." Gu Shiba Niang, who had been listening quietly, suddenly interrupted him and looked at him seriously, "Do you think our relatives can really take care of us?"
Gu Hai's face stiffened slightly, and he stuttered a bit: "Of course... we are relatives..."
In fact, he vaguely felt that the prospect might not be as good as he expected, but no matter what, it would be better than them being alone now, right
"...When we were young, my father and mother took us back during the Chinese New Year. Do you think our relatives are approachable?..."
"Who said that our clothes are as shabby as beggars throwing mud and stones at you and me?..."
"Every time I go back, why does my mother always hide in the house and cry secretly?..."
".Who broke the sacrificial plate and falsely accused you? No matter how much your mother knelt down and begged, it was in vain and she beat you in public?..."
"Who threw down a piece of dry food and asked you to be a horse for him to ride? Who ordered us around and treated us like slaves..."
Gu Shiba Niang murmured, she seemed to be talking to herself, and her tears slowly flowed down as she spoke each sentence.
The humiliation she experienced in her previous life, the fear and helplessness of watching her loved ones pass away, and the loneliness of being at the mercy of others were deeply engraved in her heart, and she could neither forget nor touch them again.
Gu Hai's expression slowly became serious, and his hands clenched tightly into fists.
Although those things that happened in childhood have faded with age, such bullying has long been deeply imprinted on the child's psychology and can jump out at any time to stimulate his nerves.
"In the past, daddy was still here, and he still had fame, and we were independent in food and clothing. They still treated us like this, but now..." Gu Shiba Niang took a few deep breaths, suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart, and held on tightly. Gu Hai's arm, "Brother, do you think our life will really be better when we go back than now?"
"No!" Gu Hai's eyes were red, he clenched his fists, and shouted two words without hesitation
