The age of innocence of the reborn parents

When they came back, Gu Meng had already gone to bed, and the smell of feet in the room made Gu Qin almost suffocate.

"Please, can you wash your feet..." Gu Qin went in, covered his nose and shook Gu Meng.

"Wash your ass, you're almost out of drinking water, and there's not enough breakfast for tomorrow..." Gu Meng felt a little annoyed at being suddenly woken up, patted Gu Qin's hand away, turned around and continued to sleep soundly.

"Let's go, let's fetch water tomorrow," Xie Zhendong said after coming in.

"How do you do it? The smell is too strong..." Gu Qin moved his hand and tried to smell it, and quickly covered his nose again. This is the stinky foot that hasn't been washed for a long time, and it has fermented into an old smell. Taste, the taste is extremely complex.In the past, Gu Meng was always fresh and clean. It smelled good. He liked it very much. How could he be so sloppy...

"Mengzi, Mengzi, wake up." Xie Zhendong thought for a while and tried to wake Gu Meng up.

"Also keep people from sleeping!" Gu Meng sat up a little irritatedly.

"Let's go out and dry-clean our feet. Be careful, Comrade Gu can't bear it," Xie Zhendong pulled Gu Meng up and said.

"How to dry clean?" Gu Qin was a little curious.

"You'll know if you come with us," Xie Zhendong said with a smile, and went outside together with Gu Meng, who opened his eyes and half-closed his face with reluctance.

"Rub it on the fine flour here, and your feet will be clean." Xie Zhendong and Gu Meng took Gu Qin to the big place outside the cave and said.

Is this what he said about dry cleaning?Gu Qin took off his shoes, stepped on the soil that Xie Zhendong pushed into a pile with his feet, and rubbed each other. The dry soil was sterilized after a day of exposure to the sun. It is still warm, and the soil particles are very fine. It feels like stepping on it Very comfortable.

The dry fine flour sucked the smell of sweat from his feet, and Gu Qin clearly felt that the smell of sweat in the air was gradually dissipating.

"How is it?" After rubbing for a while, they sat on the side and patted the dirt off their feet. The smell of their feet was obviously much lighter.

"It's enough," Gu Qin said, this is the first time this kind of weird foot washing method, hurry up and dig out the well, otherwise this day will really be impossible...

"Hurry up and go to sleep, I'm so annoying, I knew I wouldn't move." Gu Meng got up and walked forward shaking.

"What about the teeth and face? Don't brush your teeth or wash your face?" Gu Qin asked as he walked forward.

"Well, wait for the water to arrive before you brush your teeth and wash your face..." Xie Zhendong said.

Gu Qin looked at the water urn, and sure enough there was only a little water left, so he just took a sip to rinse his mouth and went to sleep.

The moonlight was shining obliquely, and the situation in the room was not as bright as outside, so it was very blurry. After Gu Qin came in, Gu Meng and Xie Zhendong had already fallen asleep, and Gu Meng lay sprawled on one side. Saving some space, Gu Qin didn't really want to sleep next to Xie Zhendong, got on the kang, put Gu Meng's outstretched hands and feet together, squeezed to Gu Meng's side, took off his clothes and lay down.

The smell is still very strange, but now it can be considered to the extent that he can make do with it, he doesn't pay attention to it anymore, lying there listening to Gu Meng's familiar breathing sound, the person who hasn't slept peacefully for a long time since Gu Meng's death is just a swaying God fell asleep.

In the dark, Xie Zhendong sat up and looked at Gu Qin who was huddled in the corner of Gu Meng. Contrast, black and white.Xie Zhendong just watched like this, and after a while he slowly lay down and fell asleep.

***

Gu Qin was awakened by a nightmare in the morning, and he didn't know the exact time, it was already bright outside.Gu Qin's whole body was in pain as if he had been run over by a car. The pain from yesterday seemed to have accumulated until now, and he couldn't get up for a while after waking up.

"Old Gu..." Gu Qin couldn't help calling out to Gu Meng, but he didn't get a response. When he opened his eyes and saw the old cave roof, he returned to reality.

Frowning, he sat up and found that Gu Meng and Xie Zhendong were not there. Looking at the bruises and wounds on his hands, as well as the bruises on his arms, he was a little dazed. If Gu Meng knew, it would be so distressing. He would definitely let himself lie down. Gu Qin shook his head, everything changed, although the conditions were a bit tough, it was much better than the days without Gu Meng.

After a while, I remembered that Gu Meng said that this room was originally Gu Boxu's private room, so the original things in this room were also Gu Boxu's.

Gu Qin rummaged through to find clean clothes to change into. Yesterday's clothes had been stained by herbal juice and still smelled bad.

The clothes that could be worn outside were all dirty. When Gu Qin was thinking about whether to put on yesterday's dirty clothes, he remembered that he took out something in his pocket that seemed to have a key. There happened to be a small box on the kang, it should be Gu Bo vivid.Taking advantage of being alone at this time, Gu Qin took the clothes and came over, took out the contents, and counted the current property, two two-pound noodle tickets, one half-pound non-staple food ticket, and one The meat ticket in the market, even if it is a person, can't eat for a few days, he didn't care, looked at the bunch of keys in his hand, weighed them, turned around and tried to open a box next to the bed.

Gu Qin tried several times, the box was opened, and there were quite a lot of things inside. Under the box were neatly stacked clothes, on one side of the top layer was an oiled paper bag, and on the other side was a long strip of Wallet, under the wallet are some documents, a few envelopes, and a few little red books.

The wallet has a brown cover and looks a little old. There are dozens of dollars in it, and there are more than a dozen catties of food stamps, plus some non-staple food stamps. They are all common tickets, making Gu Qin richer again. It is a food certificate for urban residents, which shows his current identity, and farmers have nothing to do with food.Gu Qin didn't look at the little red book and the envelope, but the oiled paper bag was the most practical at the moment, and it actually contained a small packet of beef jerky and a little hard candy.

Meat and sugar are big killers for Gu Qin who has heart disease. He can only say that he has eaten them. Under Gu Meng's strict control and teaching, he seldom eats them. happy.Although Gu Meng always taught him to learn to share and make friends, but that's all, he only wanted to feed Gu Meng, not even Meng Hongsheng...

Gu Qin found clean clothes, put them on, packed up and locked the box, and came out. At this time, the sun had risen very high, and the yard was a little deserted. Only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl was busy cooking, and another Girls are making a fire.Those were the only two girls here, one was Li Muwen who stopped Meng Hongsheng the day before, and the other was Qiu Junlan.Li Muwen was Meng Hongsheng's wife in later generations, and she was a decent person, but she couldn't understand how Meng Hongsheng treated her better than her own son, and didn't treat her very well, so she seldom came to Gu's family with Meng Hongsheng.

"Where did they go? No farm work these days?" Gu Qin asked Li Muwen.

"Ah...they, they...all..." Li Muwen was startled, her face flushed red and she stammered, not knowing what to say.

Gu Qin paused, suddenly, Gu Meng said that he would treat him as a brother, but in fact he did not treat him as a brother at all. He remembered that Gu Meng mentioned that they got a copy of The Count of Monte Cristo at that time, but they did not have the copy at night. I have spare money to buy kerosene lamps, so when I have nothing to do, I get up early in the morning and gather together in the peach forest on the top of Taohua Village to watch, and there are people who specialize in guarding.

When Gu Meng led him to the expanded peach forest, he pointed to a place and said that it was their base.Gu Qin probably knew about that place, but he didn't want to disturb them anymore.

Gu Qin thought for a while, they were going to pull water today, they couldn’t use bullock carts to pull a little water back, it was too wasteful, Gu Meng said, at that time in their entire brigade, only Lishu Village had a walking tractor, so that Taohua Village is very envious.With his current domineering status, he should be able to borrow it and use it.

Gu Qin came out and borrowed the only bicycle in the village from the old donkey uncle, asked the way, and rode the bicycle in the direction of Lishu Village under the puzzled eyes of everyone.

Lishu Village is more than two kilometers away from Taohua Village, and it is also a yellowish-brown area with only sporadic green embellishments.Although there is a bicycle to ride, but the dirt road is full of bumps and bumps, Gu Qin's whole body hurts from being bumped, and he rides slowly, and it takes more than ten minutes to arrive.

When he arrived in Lishu Village, Gu Qin felt even more like a public enemy. From afar, he was seen running wildly. After entering the village, he saw a lot of bewildered eyes.

"Brother Gu, why are you here?" Gu Qin entered the village and was about to ask someone where the walking tractor in the village was, when a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl came up to her and blinked while touching her big braid hanging on her chest. A pair of big eyes asked him. The girl was wearing black square-mouthed cloth shoes and fitted white short-sleeved dark blue pants. Her complexion was slightly dark and rough, but she couldn't hide her pretty features. Perhaps because she was a little thin, her eyes looked big and black. She has a spirit, seems to be able to talk, with a small nose and some freckles, she looks healthy and energetic. After seeing Qiu Junlan and so many beauties in her previous life, Gu Qin was still amazed when she first saw this girl, maybe it is Because she has some rustic simplicity and innocent vitality.

"Let me borrow the tractor from your village, can you help me take it down?" Gu Qin said with a smile.

"It's at my house, and I'm going home too." The girl looked very happy when she saw Gu Qinxiao, but she wanted to get close to him but was too embarrassed to just look at Gu Qinxiao while walking on the road.

Gu Qin followed the girl and felt that someone was watching him. Turning to look, he saw a man in his twenties standing at the door of a house, wearing patched clothes, looking at him with some resentment. Seeing too many strange hostile and fearful eyes, Gu Qin didn't care.

"Comrade Gu is here, welcome, welcome, do you have any instructions? Damn baby, cook for Comrade Gu..." The girl's father is a middle-aged man in his 40s. Chin was very enthusiastic but seemed a bit over-the-top in his welcome.

"I'm here to borrow a tractor today. I don't have dinner and I'm in a hurry. I don't know if it's convenient for me to borrow it," Gu Qin said hastily.

"Of course it's convenient. If you're in a hurry to use it, I'll bring you the handle." The girl's father said and went into the house.

"Brother Gu, why did you leave so quickly?" the girl asked anxiously.

"I'm going to fetch water today, it will be dark at night if it doesn't come sooner," Gu Qin said.

"Brother Gu, last time you said that you would propose marriage to my father next time you come to my house, it still counts, don't you like me..." The girl looked around, gritted her teeth and whispered to Gu Qin with a blushing face , with tears in her big bright eyes.

"..." Gu Qin was stunned for a moment, a little sweaty, this is still a child, he is sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is still in middle school, this Gu Boxu is too good at causing trouble...

"Well, you are still young, it's too early to talk about it now, when you grow up, there will be a wonderful young man who will propose to you..." Gu Qin was also blushed by the girl, and said when he saw the girl was about to cry.

"I, I..." The girl bit her lower lip and wanted to say something. At this time, the girl's father came out of the house with a smile, and the girl stomped her feet and turned around and ran into the house.

"Comrade Gu, take this can of diesel as a spare." The girl's father put a tin can on the side seat of the tractor.

"Thank you, we're going to fetch water today, I wonder if we can use your big water tank." Gu Qin thanked the girl's father and said a little embarrassedly, with a shy expression when he spoke.The big water tank is a square water tank welded with iron, with a square inlet on the top and a faucet on the bottom.

"Why is Comrade Gu so polite today? Haha, Daniel came out and moved things." The girl's father said with a smile and called a young man in his twenties to move the water tank with him and embed it in the truck.

"Well, there is no one in our village who can drive. Can I ask Brother Da Niu to help you get off the car? I will pay you one yuan." Gu Qin said after the water tank was moved. He asked the old donkey just now, and no one in the village could drive. Only the head of Lishu Village and his son can drive a tractor, so he came alone.According to the ten work points for a middle-aged man, one centimeter is less than ten cents, and one yuan is considered too much.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, let Da Niu follow Comrade Gu to improve his ability for a day, what money will I give?" the girl's father said and gave the crank to Daniu.The big cow was black and strong, and looked very simple and honest. He took the handle without saying a word and aimed it at a hole on the tractor. With a push of his arm, there was a rumbling sound, and black smoke rose from the chimney. .
