Travel back to the 1970s and start as a female textile worker

The old man stopped talking as he spoke. He seemed to be asleep and closed his eyes without speaking.

Uncle Gu didn't care either, it was just like this for the old man, he would get distracted while talking.

Gu Xia was a little confused, but didn't say anything.

Uncle Gu brought several children to the door of his house and called his wife: "Daughter-in-law, the children are here."

Aunt He Ling ran out: "Oh, it's coming, it's coming, I just made the bed."

As soon as they met, she saw the child in her man's hand. He had a tiger-like head, bright eyes, and a plump body.

She liked it immediately.

Look at the three next to them. They are all good-looking.

The oldest one has a long body. Even if he is standing in the farmyard, he cannot hide his gentle temperament.

Not to mention the kids are very polite.

"Hello, auntie."

He Ling hurriedly greeted: "Hey, hello, children, come in quickly, aunt will give you some water."

The uncle’s yard was newly built after the family was separated.

Although it is an ordinary farmhouse, it is very clean and spacious inside.

A persimmon tree and an apple tree were planted in the fenced yard.

There are two chickens in the chicken coop.

The house is a bungalow with three rooms.

One is for the uncle and his wife, one is for Gu Zhenzhu, and the other is an empty room.

They entered the living room and sat down. The aunt gave them each a bowl of water and added some sugar.

The children were not shy and thanked them after drinking a few sips of water.

The little bamboo sucked and drank happily.

"Auntie, it tastes really good. Thank you, auntie."

He Ling took the opportunity to hug the small gas tank. Her hands had been itchy for a long time.

"No need to thank you, let me give you a hug. The baby is so cute."

"Auntie, I'm not Xiaobao, my name is Xiaozhuzi."

He Ling also yelled based on the ranking. After all, their first cousin was called Dabao.

"Hey, okay, okay, auntie made a mistake, you are Xiao Zhuzi."

Xiao Zhuzi nodded and licked his lips: "Yeah, aunt, I haven't finished drinking yet."

He Ling took some water and fed him.

She likes children very much, but after giving birth to Gu Zhenzhu, her body was damaged and she couldn't get pregnant again.

Seeing the child so cute, she couldn't help but love it.

Little Zhuzi was like an old man, sitting in her arms and drinking sweet water.

Gu Xia pinched her brows and said, "Xiao Zhuzi, don't push yourself too far. Drink it yourself."

"Auntie, don't spoil him, he will drink on his own."

He Ling didn't care about this: "It's okay, I'll feed it. I like the little bamboo so much, so just let me feed it."

Gu Xia had no choice but to agree, thinking that Xiao Zhuzi's treatment here was really good.

I haven't walked down the street since I met my uncle. If I stay here for a while longer, will I become a little bully?

Because Gu Zhenzhen was still working in the city and had not returned home, Gu Qiu and Gu Dong slept in her room, while Gu Xia and Xiao Zhuzi lived in the spare room.

Uncle Gu temporarily went to a neighbor's house and moved a bamboo bed for them to sleep on.

Now is the slack time for farming, so Uncle Gu doesn't have to go to work, so he takes a few nephews and nieces to the mountains to have a look.

Gu Xia walked and observed the plants.

I actually found some medicinal materials for him.

Gu Xia found that the climate on the mountain here was very suitable for the growth of honeysuckle, and there were many of them growing on the roadside at the foot of the mountain.

But no one seems to be picking them.

Uncle Gu saw that he had been picking honeysuckle and said, "Why are you picking this? This grass is everywhere. It's good to pick a little to soak in water, but it's useless to pick too much."

Gu Xia raised his head: "Uncle, no one is picking these honeysuckles to sell?"

Uncle Gu scratched his head: "Can this thing still be sold?"

Gu Xia nodded, knelt down and continued picking.

Several children watched him pick and came to help.

Uncle Gu thought that even if it could be sold, it wouldn't cost much, so it would be okay to buy a candy for his child.

But he was a very pampered person and he knelt down to help pick them.

This pick filled several people's bamboo baskets, and they headed back home before they reached the top of the mountain.

After returning home, Gu Xia poured out the honeysuckle and asked Gu Qiu and Gu Dong to separate the blooming honeysuckle from the unblooming ones.

Uncle Gu promised to make him a few dustpans to dry the herbs, and then he started peeling bamboo slices.

Xiao Zhuzi followed his aunt to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. When he came back, Xiao Zhuzi was holding a cabbage bigger than his head.

It was not until dinner that the three children divided the honeysuckle.

The uncle only finished one dustpan and then stopped, planning to continue making it tomorrow.

Dinner was cooked by my eldest aunt He Ling, who has been good at cooking since she was a child.

My family is a butcher, so I often cook meat.

She made stir-fried bacon with Chinese cabbage and braised beans with potatoes.

The children ate without even raising their heads.

I thought my eldest sister’s cooking would be delicious, but I didn’t expect my eldest aunt to do a better job!

It was so delicious!

He Ling felt very happy when she saw the children eating well.

Four children came at once, and the house became very lively.

Unlike the usual days when it was just her and her husband, when she wasn't at work, she was free to go around chatting and gossiping with the wives in the village.

After dinner, Gu Xia and Gu Qiu consciously packed up the dishes and went to wash them.

Don't let the eldest aunt get her hands on it at all.

He Ling couldn't stop it, so she let the two of them do it.

I sighed in my heart, these children were taught so well, they looked nothing like grandparents to that Gu Dabao.

But their pearls are also very sensible.

It can only be said that the upbringing of children depends on their parents.

Early the next morning, Uncle Gu got up and made a dustpan for Gu Xia.

Although he didn't think drying it would be of any use, if the child wanted it, he would make it.

By the time the kids got up, they had done two more.

Gu Xia first spread the honeysuckle spread on the ground on a dustpan, and then moved it to a shelf to let it fully expose to the sun.

After breakfast, Uncle Gu took several children to his neighbor Gu Dazhi's house.

The people in Gujiacun basically all have the same surname, and Gu Dazhi and Uncle Gu are children.

He has two children at home, both boys.

The older one is 14 years old and the younger one is 5 years old.

Uncle Gu, an adult, didn't know what children were playing nowadays, so he wanted the two neighbor children to take their four children to play.

Gu Xia met Gu Dazhi's eldest son Gu Qingyun. He stopped playing with his brother and asked Gu Xia where he wanted to go.

Gu Xia wanted to go to the mountains again.

Xiao Zhuzi was accompanied by two younger sisters, so he didn't worry and just followed Gu Qingyun.

Gu Qingyun took him to the foot of the mountain, and there was still the same large area of ​​honeysuckle.

He simply skipped it and walked all the way up.

"Brother Gu Xia, let me take you to pick wild fruits." Gu Qingyun didn't know what to say to this brother from the city, so he chose the one who knew how to come first.

Gu Xia smiled: "Okay."

He was very familiar with the mountain. He took Gu Xia for a short walk and saw a mulberry.

The purple-red fruits on it are mouth-watering.

Gu Qingyun picked a bunch and gave it to Gu Xia, a little worried that he would dislike it.

Gu Xia took it and said thank you before putting it in her mouth.

The juice was very juicy and sweet, and Gu Xia's eyes lit up.

Gu Qingyun found that people from this city were not difficult to get along with.

"Brother Gu Xia, let's pick more and bring them back. Otherwise, they will be gone next time and others will come to pick them."

Gu Xia nodded and started picking together.

Stacking half a backpack is almost enough.

There is an unwritten rule here: you cannot pick all the wild fruits, otherwise it will be bad if the people who come later will not be able to eat any.

Later, he took Gu Xia to the inside again, and he was not allowed to go in again.

"It's deep into the mountains if you go in. Let's not go there."

Gu Xia looked around and found a few coptis and isatis roots.

He took the medicine hoe and dug it out.

"Brother Gu Xia, why are you digging this grass?"

"This is herbal medicine. I can dig it up and dry it for use."

"Do you also know herbal medicine?"

Gu Xia smiled and nodded: "I know a little bit."

"you are great."

Gu Xia said softly: "Everyone has their own strengths. It doesn't matter that I know a little bit of Chinese medicine. Speaking of which, you are better than me in the mountains and have a good sense of direction."

Gu Qingyun's face turned red when he praised him, and he waved his hand: "No, no, I'm just used to walking since I was a child. By the way, Brother Gu Xia, I'll take you to the trap I made and share it with you if there are any prey. you."

His father, Gu Dazhi, had learned a few tricks from the old hunters in the village, and he had been digging traps with his father recently.

When we got to the trap made by Gu Qingyun, there was really prey inside.

It's a rabbit with an injured leg.

Gu Xia picked it up and bandaged it.

Gu Qingyun originally wanted to roast the rabbit, but seeing him like this he was too embarrassed to say it.

"Qingyun, can you please not eat this rabbit? I'm useful. I'll give you a dollar to buy it when you go back later."

Gu Qingyun hurriedly shook his head: "No, Brother Gu Xia, I'll give it to you. I don't want any money."

Gu Xia didn't push or pull with him, thinking about getting something to compensate him when she went back to her uncle's house.
