"Uncle Branch, are you at home?"
In front of Zhao Tiejun's house, Gu Qiulan stood on tiptoe and looked into the courtyard.
"Who?"
A deep man's voice came, and then an old man in his fifties came out of the room, he was wearing white-washed homespun clothes, with two large patches on his knees, although he was over half a hundred years old, he walked with a vigorous demeanor, and his body was very tough.
"Uncle Branch, I'm Xiaoqi" Gu Qiulan's crisp voice sounded, and a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
"Little Seventh Girl, come in, how are you doing?"
Zhao Tiejun saw that it was Gu Qiulan, a smile appeared on his serious face, and beckoned her into the courtyard.
"Okay, it's okay, I went to the back mountain just now."
Gu Qiulan replied with a smile as she walked.
As soon as she entered the hospital, she took off the basket and put it on the ground.
Seeing a basket full of wild vegetables, Zhao Tiejun frowned, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and said; "You girl, your body is not good yet, why don't you raise yourself at home and go to the back mountain, you are alone in the village without relatives and no reason, what should you do?"
"Hehe, Uncle Branch, don't worry, I know my body, it's absolutely fine, I don't believe you look at it."
As she spoke, Gu Qiulan jumped suddenly, jumped out nearly two meters at once, and stood there steadily, her face did not change in the slightest.
Her suddenness scared Zhao Tiejun a lot, and when she was about to complain, she saw her standing there like no one else and laughed, Zhao Tiejun breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Gu Qiulan carefully, and nodded in his heart.
"The complexion is very good, but it is a little thin."
"She is also a hard-working child, and I don't know how ruthlessly my family sent her to the countryside."
Although he is the party secretary of Shiwan Village, he doesn't know much about Gu Qiulan's life experience, and he only listened to the arrangement of the county leaders to keep her in the village, and he was sick when he first saw her, but judging from what she was wearing at the time, she was definitely from the city, and at that time he didn't understand why a girl from the city didn't go to the hospital when she was sick, but sent her to their village.
But when the Cultural Revolution broke out, he had some guesses, absolutely there was something wrong with the ingredients in this girl's family, so he sent it out in advance to avoid trouble, although there were such speculations, he did not look down on Gu Qiulan, but found a reason to prevaricate when the villagers asked her where she came from.
"Even if it's really good, don't be too tired."
The angry look in Zhao Tiejun's eyes dissipated.
"Got it."
Gu Qiulan replied obediently, quickly walked to the back basket and squatted down, first took a lot of wild vegetables, and then took out the bundled pheasant from below and handed it to Zhao Tiejun.
"Uncle Branch, this is what I caught in the back mountain, thank you for helping me ask for a doctor a few days ago."
"Pheasant, this can't be done, girl, uncle can't ask for your things, you hurry up and take it back, you are not in good health, take it back and stew it to make up for it, there is no shortage of food at the uncle's house."
Zhao Tiejun was stunned when he saw the pheasant, although he didn't know how she caught it, but thinking of her situation, he couldn't ask for this thing, so he immediately waved his hand again and again.
"Uncle, you just take it, you see that I still have a fat hare in the basket, I caught one as lucky today, I have enough to eat alone, this pheasant should give you an aunt to eat."
As he spoke, he didn't care whether Zhao Tiejun took it or not, put it directly on the ground, grabbed the basket and turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Zhao Tiejun was still stunned to see the fat hare in the back basket, and when he came to his senses, Gu Qiulan had already left, chasing out of the yard only to see that in the afterglow of the setting sun, a thin back figure walked along the path towards a dilapidated adobe house in the distance.
"This girl, how do I feel like I've changed?"
In the village, it is said that who is most familiar with Gu Qiulan is Zhao Tiejun in front of him, he has always taken good care of Gu Qiulan, as a city person, she can't distribute grain in the village, every month the grain in the city arrives, he sends it over, so he knows very well how much grain Gu Qiulan has every month, ten catties in the first three months, and five catties every month in the future.
He can deeply feel that Gu Qiulan's is not easy, every month can only be said to rely on wild vegetables for more than half of the time, a girl with no relatives and no reason, living like this, he is very sympathetic, but this year, every family is short of food, he wants to help, there is no way, he can only send a little from his old couple's share every time he distributes food in the village.
Even so, Gu Qiulan can be said to be hungry for most of the year, and because of this, her body has always been sick, and she has not seen meat all year round, can her body be okay Although there are wild things in the back mountains, it is not easy for even healthy adults to catch them, let alone Gu Qiulan, so he will be surprised and stunned today.
And today's Gu Qiulan is very different from the past, the spirit of the whole person seems to have been sublimated, which is why he absolutely Gu Qiulan seems to have changed.
Gu Qiulan, who left Zhao Tiejun's house, had just walked near the courtyard of Yaya's house when she heard Lin Chunhua's piercing scolding.
"Okay, you are a money-loser, you dare to secretly hide your food, see if I don't kill you today."
Bang bang bang "Milk, I didn't hide it, it's all my own, I saved it to eat at night."
The maid in the courtyard was crying and defending, but she didn't dare to hide when she stood still, and let Lin Chunhua's slap hit her thin body.
She has often been beaten by Lin Chunhua over the years, and she also knows that after dodging, she will usher in more violent beatings, so although it is very painful, she can only grit her teeth and endure it.
"Wow, dare to talk back, I said how fast the food at home has been reduced during this time, it turns out that there is a thief like you."
Bang bang bang "I didn't steal, I really didn't steal, milk, these are my own shares."
"It's okay, I see you have a hard mouth."
Lin Chunhua's face was full of anger, her eyes swept around, and she soon found a stick the thickness of a baby's arm in the corner of the yard, rushing over in three or two steps, and beckoning to the maid when she copied it.
The stick pierced the air, bringing a whining wind, which shows that the force used by this stick is really going to fall on the girl, and something big will definitely happen.
Seeing this, Gu Qiulan outside the courtyard rushed over with a footstep and grabbed the stick that was going to hit Yaya's back, and after a closer look, it was only an inch, Gu Qiulan's palms were a little sweaty, and she said in her heart, "Fortunately, I was in time, otherwise this time it will be implemented, Yaya's small body will definitely be useless." ” In her previous life, as a young female elite in the 21st century, she had always scoffed at the concept of patriarchy, and had only heard that some rural areas in remote places would abuse girls, but she had never really seen it, and this was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes.
It's simply not a human being, as a grandmother, she actually treated her granddaughter so viciously, and she couldn't bear it at all.

"Lin Chunhua, are you still human, Yaya is your own granddaughter, you beat like this, you want her life" Gu Qiulan's bright and clear eyes were burning with rage at this time.
"Yo, who did I think it was, it turned out to be a sick ghost, how can it be dropped, I beat my granddaughter to ask you to be nosy, she is the seed of my old Wu family, even if you are killed, what does it have to do with you" After saying that, her free hand was rounded and slapped towards Gu Qiulan's little face.
Lin Chunhua has always been spicy, and she has never paid attention to Gu Qiulan, a neighbor, but today she felt a little surprised, Gu Qiulan, who used to be scared and hide when she stared at her, actually dared to take the initiative to stand up and take care of her family's affairs today, which made her feel that her status in Shiwan Village had been provoked.
People are like this, people see that people have lived for too long, they feel that they are very bullish, and suddenly a little scum who has never looked at them comes out to provoke themselves, and what remains after the surprise is monstrous anger.
Lin Chunhua is obviously this kind of person, but she doesn't know that Gu Qiulan is no longer the sick ghost in her eyes, her palm with a strong wind has not yet slapped Gu Qiulan's face, she was grabbed by the other party, and without her reacting, Gu Qiulan has already snatched the wooden stick in her hand and threw it out.
The stick hit the earthen wall next to the gate of the courtyard, breaking in two in an instant.
Lin Chunhua was stunned by this sudden scene, and turned her head to look at Gu Qiulan in a daze, just in front of Gu Qiulan's eyes, an unprecedented sense of fear rose in her heart.
"What do you want to do" Lin Chunhua, who has been crisscrossing Shiwan Village for twenty or thirty years, was afraid, she used to have a lotus tongue, but at this moment, her tongue was actually knotted.
"You want to do it with me" Gu Qiulansen's voice was as cold as ice, like a sharp knife, stimulating Lin Chunhua's eardrums and all nerves.
"I didn't."
"Hmph, it's better to be like this, from now on, if you dare to beat Yaya, I will make you regret living in this world."
Gu Qiulan snorted coldly, threw away Lin Chunhua's arm, turned around and pulled the girl who was already looking stupid, and left the courtyard of the old Wu family without looking back.
Gu Qiulan, who had just stepped into her yard with the maid, heard Lin Chunhua's heart-rending scolding from the old Wu family, but it was different from before, she didn't rush over, she just scolded in her yard, and the voice was like a hellish ghost.
The moment Lin Chunhua's voice appeared, Yaya's whole body trembled, and her face was full of horror.
Sensing her strangeness, Gu Qiulan squatted down, touched Yaya's head and said; "Don't be afraid, Little Seventh Sister protects you, if your grandmother dares to beat you, you can tell me, Little Seventh Sister will avenge you."
Yaya stared at Gu Qiulan blankly, the frightened look on her face slowly disappeared, the scene in the courtyard just now was played back in her little head, and then looking at the gentle smile and clear eyes of the big sister in front of her, Yaya felt as if she had found a warm and safe harbor, nodded heavily, and said "um" with a heavy nasal voice.
"Really good, Little Seventh Sister will make you something to eat today."
Gu Qiulan pulled Yaya into the house
