Shu Huan doesn't like to take advantage of others, and doesn't like to owe others, so she has a rather strange problem, that is, she is not afraid that people treat her badly, but only that people treat her too well
When others treat her badly, she naturally doesn't need to put her hot face on someone's cold ass, just put it in the blacklist in her heart, and just ignore it completely, but if she is too kind to her, she will be at a loss and always think about it. Reciprocate the favor, and feel guilty if you fail to reciprocate.
She had this kind of feeling towards Gu Xiran, but it was mixed with other emotions, and she couldn't make sense of it. She felt much simpler towards Du's mother. She just felt that taking Du Qiu in and asking Dr. Ji to treat Du's mother was all wrong. She didn't contribute much to what Gu Xiran was doing, so she always ate and drank for free, enjoying Du's mother's greetings and warmth, she felt a little sorry.
It is too difficult to repay Gu Xiran, she is still wavering in her heart. If she wants to repay Mother Du, it is relatively simple. In Chen Xiang's wooden box, he picked up a magnolia flower hairpin carved with purple oil and Qinan, and got up to put the hairpin on Du Mu's hair.
"This..." Mother Du panicked a little, and quickly reached out to pull out the hairpin, but was stopped by Shu Huan.
She smiled and said: "The hairpin carved for nothing is worthless, but it's just a thought, so you can accept it. Besides, I want to bother you with something. If you don't want to accept it, I'm embarrassed to say. "
Naturally, Mother Du didn't know the value of Qinan, she only thought it was an ordinary wood with fragrance, and liked the exquisite carvings, the wooden hairpin that came with it looked reserved and simple and unobtrusive, it was suitable for her status as a widow, so she didn't insist on evading it, and accepted it with a smile When he got down, he praised her for her dexterity and asked her what was the matter.
Shu Huan smiled: "If you want to bother Mama Du to teach me how to work as a girl, you don't need to teach me too carefully, or when you do your work, I just watch from the sidelines."
"It's easy. If you don't know anything, just ask me." Du's mother agreed, but she was a little puzzled: "You don't know how to work as a female worker?"
Shu Huan said nothing, just shook his head.
It is precisely because she doesn’t know how to do it that she wants to learn. After all, the original owner knows how to work as a female worker. There is no guarantee that one day the old lady or someone else will ask her to do something, and it will be embarrassing if she can’t do it. What's more, female craftsman is a skill that women in ancient times must learn. If she knows it, she can do it herself if she wants to embroider something later.
Mother Du only thought she was embarrassed, and she looked at her with even more love and compassion. She smiled and relieved her: "No, it doesn't matter, you can learn it quickly. You don't need weaving work, sewing Don't rush to learn, I think I'll teach you embroidery first, the first step is to draw patterns... "
The two were talking lively, when suddenly Gu Xiran came back, and the maids were naturally busy serving tea and pouring water, even Aunt Yun followed in, Mother Du felt that it was inconvenient for her to stay here, so she took her leave and went back .
Gu Xiran took the cold handkerchief twisted by Aunt Yun, wiped her face, looked at Shu Huan and said with a smile: "It seems that Madam Du and you are quite hit-and-miss, and you are the first thing that comes to mind when you make something delicious."
"It's so heartless." Shu Huan handed over a pot of herbal tea that was in the well water: "It's as if you didn't eat it."
"Eat." Gu Xiran smiled: "Who told the lady to favor me, and if you get something delicious, send someone to deliver it to me first?"
Usually he was often teased by him, but in front of the maids and Aunt Yun, Shu Huan was still a little embarrassed, thinking that this person was really nasty, but when he lowered his head and thought about what he said, there was some truth in it. It's even better for him and Ji Danqing...
"Don't think about it." Gu Xiran knew her very well, and she could tell what she was thinking when she lowered her eyes. She raised her head and drank two mouthfuls of tea: "Du Qiu said, his mother had a girl before, but it was less than three years old. They were abducted at the age of 18, and they didn't know where they were. They were still alive. They went out this time, saying they were looking for relatives, but in fact, it was Du Qiu who found some clues, so he sold all his property and came here full of expectations. , Unexpectedly, the last clue was broken, and Mother Du refused to give up, and searched for more than two months, and spent all her money on her body. She was so sad and desperate that she couldn't afford to get sick."
Shu Huan raised her eyebrows slightly: "So she treats me like a daughter?"
"It should be." Gu Xiran said with a smile: "You two are about the same age, and her daughter is only two or three years older than you."
Then, Du's mother should be about the same age as the Shu family couple, but maybe she has been thinking about her daughter for many years, she has accumulated worries, her face is full of wrinkles, and even her hair is gray. She looks twenty years older than the Shu family couple .
Shu Huan felt something, and sighed. I don’t know if my soul has passed through, does it mean the death of the body, if this is better, although despair makes people sad, but this kind of heartbreaking pain of losing a daughter will one day be alleviated by time, it is better than being counted as missing Population, teach parents to worry about it day and night, and have no peace for a long time.
Aunt Yun suddenly said quietly: "Actually, that girl is considered a blessing. At least there are still people who miss her for more than ten years. It's better than no one cares about her life..."
Regardless of whether Aunt Yun had other meanings in her words, but it sounded really sad, Shu Huan couldn't help but patted the table and said: "The child kidnappers are the worst, they should all be dragged out and shot a hundred times."
Meimei was listening curiously: "What is shooting?"
Uh-
Accidentally slipped my mouth when I got excited
"Shooting means... dragging it out... poking a gun into a hundred holes until it's dead..." Shu Huan was so embarrassed, he was busy covering up with incoherent speech, while stealing eyes to see other people's reactions.
Aunt Yun lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, while Gu Xiran had an inscrutable look. Naturally, she couldn't see anything, so she could only comfort herself secretly, and occasionally said that she missed a word, and they wouldn't understand it.
Who would have thought that as soon as she relaxed her mind, she saw Gu Xiran nodding her head, and said solemnly: "So to be shot is to be dragged out and poked a hundred holes with a gun... Well, this word is really fresh"
The so-called black belly means that no matter what kind of expression he uses or what he says, you will suspect that what he said means something.
At this moment, Shu Huan felt that he was suspicious, so he took another serious look at Gu Xiran, but he still couldn't see his true inner thoughts from his face.
Gu Xiran met her gaze, and slightly raised the corners of her lips: "Isn't it?"
Shu Huan answered bravely: "That's right..."
Gu Xiran looked away from her face, lifted her robe and sat down: "It turns out that the lady is so bloody and violent."
…
Being defeated, Shu Huan turned around and left, deciding that after learning how to work as a female worker, the first thing she did was to tie a villain, write Gu Xiran's birth date, and beat her up with the soles of her shoes every day...
But within two steps, after hearing Gu Xiran's other words, she changed her mind and decided to burn incense for him every day to bless him with no disease and disaster, and a long life.
He said: "Pack up, get up early tomorrow and go up the mountain with me, bring two more clothes to keep out the cold, maybe I will stay in the mountain overnight before coming back."
