Human sorrows and joys are not interlinked.

Xu Huaiyi happily pushed his wife and daughter through the village and went straight to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain that had been abandoned for two years. To others, this scene would be described as miserable!

"Oh, you were kicked out by the Xu family, right?"

"The Xu family is really cruel. My daughter-in-law just gave birth to a child yesterday. It seems that she didn't give anything. Isn't this because she sincerely wants the lives of those three people?"

"I guess there is no way out, right? A medicine costs two taels of silver. Who can afford it? Don't forget, there is also a money-burning scholar in his family. He cares about this but not the other. Who cares? Who cares... With the shrewdness of the old couple, is there any need to say this?"

"Then it's not like we're going to kick him out..."

"Perhaps you are afraid of the bad luck of dying at home? Besides, the Gu family brought a new wife into the family back then, and was not considered the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. The son-in-law of Xu Huaiyi was paid fifty taels of silver in the document, clearly passing on the incense to the Gu family. , it’s almost like breaking off the relationship with the Xu family. Before, I was afraid of being poked in the back, so I stayed in the Xu family. Now, haha..."

"Oh, how pitiful!"

"Okay, don't pity others, pity yourself first. If it doesn't rain, there won't be any harvest in the fields. We'll just wait to get stabbed in the neck and starve to death."

"If it really doesn't work, we have no choice but to run away and beg for food."

"Fleeing? Alas, that road is even worse. How many people can survive on the way..."

The couple, who were pitied by the villagers and had no way to survive, were enjoying themselves in the RV. Gu Huanxi drank milk and paired it with taro-flavored semi-cooked cheese. The dense and sweet taste made him feel full of happiness when he took a bite. .

However, she stared at Xu Huaiyi opposite, her eyes still full of resentment.

Xu Huaiyi sat cross-legged on the sofa, taking a sip of chicken feet and a sip of a drink. What he was eating was so beautiful. The chicken feet were braised in a spicy and delicious way, and they were still boneless. Just looking at them made people drool. The drink was carbonated and ice-cold. It's cool, drink half the bottle in one breath, and it will make you feel comfortable from head to toe.

But she can't eat any of these.

Just look at it, scratching your heart and lungs with greed.

Xu Huaiyi ate and drank a lot, finally getting rid of the stuffy heat just now, and finally found that his wife's eyes were wrong. He quickly wiped his mouth and said with a flattering smile, "Well, you can think about it when you are out of confinement. You can eat whatever you want.”

Gu Huanxi snorted, gently rocked the girl in the cradle, and said gloomily, "If I breastfeed A Li, I'm afraid I have to wait for a year and a half..."

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi didn't dare to say anything. He thought to himself that if he ate these in the future, he would have to avoid his wife, otherwise what would he do if she put him in trouble?

"Go to work quickly. Didn't you mean to return the cart and go up the mountain? On the surface, we both left Xu's house without taking a bite of food. You have to find an excuse to explain the meal afterwards. Problem?"

At any rate, they went up the mountain for a formality. No matter what they dug or caught, they would all be told. Otherwise, the couple could still be alive without having anything to eat. Wouldn't that arouse people's suspicion?

Xu Huaiyi stood up quickly, "Okay, I'll go right away. Wife, you have a good rest at home..."

When he left the door, Gu Huanxi did not rest. After giving birth, moderate activities are conducive to the recovery of the body. Lying down all the time will easily cause qi and blood to be sluggish. These three rooms have been cleaned very clean, and there is nothing wrong with them. She was asked to do the work, so she took out the clothes and bedding, picked out the ones that could be used, and sorted them out.

Although the original owner and his wife were a bit weak and cowardly, they both liked to be clean. Moreover, the original owner, the girl, was pretty good. Her clothes were sewn with fine and precise stitching. There were even flowers and plants embroidered on the necklines of some tops. The only flaw was that it was a bit unsightly. But when it comes to escaping, such shabby clothes will give me a sense of security and won't attract anyone's attention.

However, she didn't want to make herself too uncomfortable with the bedding, so she took out some straw and filled it with some cotton. The cotton and reed batting were mixed together, which was not so eye-catching. The key was to keep it warm and soft.

On the way to escape from famine, it was very important to keep warm in the winter. She had read history books and found that most of those who fled famine did not die of starvation, but died of freezing, disease, and some were killed by bandits and bandits.

As for cotton, there is no shortage in the car. I planted a few ridges and picked more than 30 kilograms. I originally planned to make bedding for my daughter when she is older, but now it is just in time.

After finishing the work, it was already past ten o'clock, and the daughter woke up with a groan. Gu Huanxi quickly changed her diaper, held her in his arms, and tried to let her take a few mouthfuls. Although there was milk powder in the car, she was not afraid that the child would have no milk to eat. , but she still wanted to feed it herself.

However, the foundation of his body was really poor. Ah Li was so anxious that he grabbed hold of the little bun with both hands, even his calves cooperated with the force, but he still couldn't take a bite.

Gu Huanxi had no choice but to make milk powder for her.

After serving her daughter well enough to eat and drink and go to sleep, she saw that the sun was scorching outside and there was not even a breath of wind, so she opened the door and went out and walked around in the yard.

The yard is not big. It has been simply tidied up and is ready for walking. The cut grass is piled on the side of the gate. When it is dried, it can be used as firewood. There is a pomegranate tree planted in the west. The flowering period is over now and it has produced a lot of fruits. There is a tung tree in the east. It has a large crown and luxuriant branches. The effect of drought is not visible at all. Next to the tung tree, there is a I built a small shed with a thatched roof and an earthen stove inside for cooking.

The backyard is even smaller, with two jujube trees, and only a hut built in the corner. It doesn't even have the pig pens and chicken coops that are common in villagers' homes.

Gu Huanxi has the memory of the original owner, and is not surprised at all by this situation. The original owner's father, Gu Jian, was a scholar, and his ancestral home was far away from Qingzhou. For some reasons, he became frustrated and gave up the imperial examination. He took the five-year-old with him The eldest daughter was traveling around the world, and she was really living a poor life. After running around for ten years, I thought that my daughter was getting older and he was in bad health, so I came here. Settled down locally.

Gu Jian had the aloofness and innocence of a scholar, and was stubborn and stubborn. He was not good at household chores, and his educated daughter was also weak and could be bullied, and could not support the family at all.

Therefore, after the two of them lived at the foot of the mountain, they didn't look like a family going through life at all, with no rules at all.

Before Gu Jian died, he was aware of these problems, so he spent all his savings to find a son-in-law for his daughter. He also specifically chose Xu Huaiyi, an honest man, because he was afraid that his daughter would be bullied by her husband's family.

For Gu Huanxi now, the biggest advantage of having such a father is probably that if she shows some insight in the future, she can blame it on this father who has more than ten years of traveling experience.

Another advantage is that the original owner learned to read from his father and is not illiterate.
