C4 Second Aunt

Second Aunt Gu snorted coldly. She walked forward until she reached the middle of the alley and said loudly: "If you can talk, then why don't you say so? You're already three years old, and yet you're still not saying anything. If it's not a mute, then what is it?"

She turned around and said, "His second aunt, we are one family, one family with broken bones and broken tendons. We respect our father's relationship with your son and father, so what are you trying to do by saying that you are our own niece? Is it a good thing that your child can't speak? It's worth it for you to keep on whining. "

Even Third Young Madam, who had already entered the house, came out when she heard the commotion. When she arrived at the entrance, she immediately knew what was going on, so she hurried over and said to Second Aunt Gu, "Min Liang's mother, what are you doing? This is your eldest sister-in-law, and your eldest sister-in-law is holding your niece in her arms. All of you are Gu family members, aren't you being cruel with your words?"

When Second Aunt Gu heard Third Young Madam say this, she said unhappily, "Third Aunt, I'd like to ask, when you have good things to eat, you always think about our family's children. Why haven't I seen you give them to our family's Minlian to eat?"

The Third Young Madam was so angry by her nephew's question that she fell backwards, her face red as she pointed at Second Aunt Gu and said, "Mother Min Liang, I must tell you this. Why hasn't Min Liang eaten my good food? Let's not talk about the matter of me giving food to the children. Let's talk about the children of the old master. The children of the old master are all helping me with my family matters. Your family is getting closer to me. Tell me, what have you come to help me do? Have you ever seen my courtyard? Have you ever filled my water vat? "

Second Aunt Gu didn't expect her Third Aunt to say something like this in front of so many people. She pointed at Gu Ruoyun's mother and Third Young Madam, gave two angry snorts, and turned around to return to her own courtyard.

Seeing how angry Third Young Madam was, Mother Gu was afraid that she would be angered. She put Gu Min Qian on the ground and held Third Young Madam's arm. "Third Aunt, why are you angry with her? If she wants to say something, let her say a few words. Let's not lower ourselves to her level."

Third Young Madam was helped home by Old Madam Gu, and as they walked, she said, "What a misfortune for our family. After marrying such a daughter-in-law and taking her into our family, our family will never have a peaceful life again. Third Aunt is old, and her eyes aren't blind. She is relying on her family members and her family's good qualities to be a member of our family."

After sending Third Young Madam home, Gu Mu's mother quickly carried Gu Min Qian and led her home. There wasn't much time for lunch, so after eating, they had to hurry back to the fields to work. Because of the ingredients, the Gu family had arranged quite a tiring job.

When they reached home, Min Jie had already finished cooking. Min He placed the paper bag on the brick table and said to Mother Gu, "Mother, this is something Qianqian and I left for you and your elder brother and sister. Quickly try it out. It's delicious, it's very fragrant."

Min Jing saw the peach cake and said, "Did Third Young Madam give you something nice to eat again? Min He, Third Young Madam, is already old and needs to eat more to make up for it.

Min He lowered his head and whispered, "I told Third Young Madam that I didn't want it, but Third Young Madam said that she gave it to me. Third Young Madam even told me that the elders didn't dare to say anything."

Minjie laughed and said, "Aiyo, our Min and this is because we know the elder doesn't dare to say yes."

Min and Min whispered to Min Jie, "Third Young Madam told me today that she wanted to use three hundred thousand to enlighten me, but the conditions didn't allow it. She wanted to teach me to read using the words in the Book of Treasure.

When Min Jie heard this, she touched Min He's head and said, "Just follow Third Young Madam and read well. I also learned a lot of words from Third Young Madam back then. Third Young Madam knows a lot."

After chewing for a long time, she raised her head and swallowed it with all her might. This was simply a loud voice, so she quickly picked up the bowl and took a sip of the corn porridge, but the corn porridge was also very thick. Before Gu Min Qian had even finished cooking it, she was choked by the lump in her throat. Gu Min's mother quickly pushed the bowl down her neck, then went outside to get a bowl of water and said, "Hurry up and drink some water."

Mother Gu brought the bowl to Gu Min Qian's mouth. Gu Min Qian drank a large mouthful and stretched out her neck to swallow it down with all her might. Only then did she manage to swallow that mouthful of saliva.

She wiped her eyes. Just now, she had been sobbing bitterly, and the tears in her eyes had come out. Now, the condition was like this: she could only adapt as soon as possible, the family needed money, they didn't have food, it was impossible for them to make a fine meal for her. Even if she cooked for herself, she wouldn't be able to eat it.

Mother Gu said with a pained heart, "Your nest is too hard. Qianqian, Mother will cook an egg for you."

Gu Min held Gu Min's hand and blinked her eyes. She thought for a moment and said, "Mother, the egg was sold and we built a house."

Although they were still young and their health was not good, some children who were better off could still make some good food for them if they were sick. Even if they had to give them some noodles, the Autumn Harvest was almost over, and after the Autumn Harvest was over, they would have to split the food. Right now, it was a big deal for their family to build a house, the eldest was already twenty-five years old, and some children of the same age could find a wife to run around the streets, but their family members were no good, and if they couldn't find a good one, then they could still make some food for themselves.

Mother Gu sighed and said, "Qianqian, in two days after we split the food, Mother will make dumplings for you to eat, okay?"

When Min He heard this, his eyes lit up. "Mother, can we add meat to the dumplings?"

Mother Gu said, "Adding, how can we not add meat? We've been busy for more than half a year already. Isn't it just for this one bite of food? Mother will go cut some meat and give you all a dumpling to eat."

When Min He heard this, she shouted happily, "Oh, oh, the dumplings with meat stuffing have been eaten. The dumplings with meat stuffing have been eaten!"

Even in an orphanage, the food they ate was very good. The three meals a day, as well as the specialised nutritionist combination, would make dumplings for the new year festival, and now, let alone dumplings, they didn't even have mantou to eat. The most common dish in the day was a nest made of cornmeal and pumpkin noodles, and as for vegetables, salted vegetables were the most common, even fried vegetables were cooked with oil while rubbing the pot, which was equivalent to cooking with salt water.

Min Jing looked at Min He and said, "Look at you, you want to eat a dumpling. Why are you so happy?"

Min He said, "You don't know, the day before yesterday, Erlang's house was filled with dumplings. He said that the dumplings in his house were the most delicious, and I feel like his mother's cooking skills are not as good as ours, but I've already forgotten about the taste of the dumplings our mother packed for the new year. Once our mother had wrapped the dumplings, I'll know what they tasted like after I eat them."

He rubbed Min He's head and said, "What's there to do with this? Right now, none of the families are rich, so being able to fill their stomachs is already a good thing. Min He, you don't have to care about your skills. Min He, stop arguing with others on the street, do you know?"

Min He said, "Mom, I know he's only brothers who play together. I'm the only one in my family who is about the same age as me. Of course I can't beat him alone. I play behind him."

Min He picked up the bowl, drank a mouthful of porridge, put it down, and said to Mother Gu, "Mother, yesterday when I was playing on the street with Second Uncle and the others, Second Aunt even scolded me, calling me a bachelor. Mother, in the future, when we have good food, don't send it to Second Uncle's house."

When Min Jie heard Min He's words, she said angrily, "Second Aunt scolded you, why didn't you tell her when you returned home?"

Min He said, "If I go home and say it, will you still help me scold back? Third Young Madam told me to leave Second Aunt alone. Third Young Madam said that Second Aunt is someone without count, so we can't be like her. In the future, we just have to avoid her and there's no need to talk back. "

Mother Gu said, "Min He is your elder. Second Aunt is your elder, so if she scolds you, just let her curse a few words at you. Just hurry home and don't scold her in the streets, okay?"

Min He said, "Mother, I know, yesterday was the day before. When I saw Second Aunt coming out, I ran home immediately. I heard Second Aunt say that she saw I ran away and scolded a little bastard and then went home. I don't know what Second Aunt was thinking, but she even caught me scolding. Her family's Min Liang was not obedient at all, so why didn't she scold Min Liang?"

Minjie nodded her head and said, "Minlian is her own son. How could she bear to insult her own son? You should just run away, don't worry about anything else.

"En," Min He replied and quickly lowered her head to drink her porridge. Although Gu Min Qian did not speak, she drank the porridge and tried her best to swallow it down as she carefully observed the expressions of the people at the table. Hearing Min He's words, Gu Min Min's face was filled with sadness, anger, but it was Min Jie who tried her best to restrain her anger.

Mother Gu and Min Jie laid down on the brick bed and took a brief rest. When they heard the whistle outside, she quickly got up to go to work, she originally wanted to lock Min and Min Qianqian up at home, but Min and strongly objected, saying that she would take Min Qianqian out to play in the afternoon. Min and Min said that Min Qianqian would stay with him for longer periods of time, and if she could learn more, then Gu Min and Min would lock up the house and take Min to play in the streets.

At this time, the people were simple and honest. Even if they didn't pick up any things, only the two adults in the family could go back to work. Min He was only five years old. Minqian was still lying on the brick bed, thinking about her own matters. During her afternoon nap, she had slept with Mother Gu and Minjie. Now that the adults had woken up, Minqian felt like they hadn't slept enough.

Min He was standing guard by Min Qian's side. There was a rare red book on the table, and Min He read the limited number of words she knew in one gulp. Min Min Min Min woke up, and she quickly got up and put the book inside the kang cabinet. She said, "Qianqian, I'll help you put on your clothes and put on your shoes. Let's go outside to play."

Minqian nodded, and Minqian took Minqian's jacket and put it on. The buttons were carefully buttoned, and then came Minqian's handmade shoes, a white flannel with a red background, a thick sole, and a wide shoelace. On the outside, there was a button, and Minqian quickly put the shoe on Minqian, buckling her off the brick bed, and then half carried Minqian off the brick bed. This wasn't a tall brick, but Qianqian was standing in front of the brick bed with her eyebrows flattened.
