silver lining

At this time, the hostess came out of the kitchen with two bowls of rice. When she saw Gu Yao in the yard, she was startled and apologized hastily, "I, I didn't know you were up. You, wait a moment."

I'm going to serve you some food right now."

After the hostess finished speaking, she hurriedly handed the two children's food to them, and then hurried into the kitchen to serve Gu Yao the food as if she had done something wrong.

Gu Yao felt a little sorry when she looked at the mistress.

They don't need to be so respectful to themselves. Although they hate them a little and want to escape from this place, they know the current situation and cannot escape alone. There are no private cars in this village, only agricultural Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

A bus passes by the village entrance once a day, but the bus can only go to the town, and for farmers like them, it is very expensive, costing ten yuan a trip.

Sometimes I think about it, and I am very grateful to them. Without them, I would have starved to death in this village, with no place to sleep or food to eat, because I am now penniless and don’t even have a mobile phone.

The hostess brought out a large bowl of rice to Gu Yao and said respectfully, "Eat quickly. I'll serve it to you when you're done. There's still more in the pot."

"Well, thank you." Gu Yao said to the hostess with a smile.

The hostess smiled and said nothing.

After breakfast, Gu Yao saw the hostess and her two children preparing to go out. Gu Yao asked the hostess, "Where are you... going?"

"I work in the fields, and they play in the fields." The hostess answered Gu Yao.

Gu Yao thought about it, and then said to the hostess, "I will go with you, okay?"

The hostess was a little surprised when she heard that Gu Yao said she wanted to go with her.

This woman is from the city and has never been to farmland. What if I take her there and soil her clothes?

Gu Yao saw that the hostess was hesitant and worried that she would not take her there, so she hurriedly explained, "I am quite bored at home alone, so just let me go with you."

The hostess nodded, but she still had something to say to Gu Yao, "Well, it's okay, but why don't you change your clothes? The geography is rough and your clothes will be stained. Can you wear my clothes?"

?”

"Well, it's okay." Gu Yao said with a smile.

The hostess smiled, and then hurriedly went to her house to get Gu Yao some clothes made of rough fabric. She waited for Gu Yao to change into them before taking Gu Yao and the children out.

Arriving at the farmland, Gu Yao looked at the endless fields and felt very relaxed.

But gradually, a longing came to my heart. I missed Jingye and the children.

The tears could not be held back, flowing out of her eyes and down her cheeks. Gu Yao suddenly squatted on the ground, hugging her head and crying.

"Mom, mom." The little girl saw her aunt crying and immediately called her mother.

The hostess was still busy in the fields. When she heard her daughter calling her, she thought something had happened to her. She turned around and saw her daughter pointing to the side, and then she realized that Gu Yao was crying.

The hostess stood up immediately and walked to Gu Yao. She was so anxious that she couldn't speak. After a long time, she asked nervously, "You, you, what's wrong with you?"

"Woo..." Gu Yao kept crying and didn't answer at first. It wasn't until she cried for a long time that she raised her head and said with tears on her face, "I miss my husband and my children."

The hostess understood what Gu Yao said. The husband she was talking about was her own man, and she also had children.

"But, but...I..." The hostess didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, you don't have to blame yourself." Gu Yao knew that the hostess had taken good care of her these days, and she was worried that the hostess would blame herself for not taking good care of her. "It's me who misses my family. It has nothing to do with you."

.”

"I..." The hostess was still very nervous.

Gu Yao then calmed down her emotions and said to the hostess, "You can continue working, I will accompany you."

"Well..." The hostess nodded.

Two children were playing in the field. Gu Yao and the hostess were in the field. The hostess was working and Gu Yao was staying aside. The hostess was chatting with Gu Yao while working.

"Actually, my man and I have discussed this," the hostess said to Gu Yao, "You are a good person, and we wanted to send you away, but my man said that the car from the village entrance can only go to the town, and from the town

It will take a long time to get to the county town. If you are from a big city, it will also take a long time to get back to the big city."

"You are a woman on the road for such a long time. You are in an unfamiliar place and it is very dangerous." What the hostess said was very sincere. She could understand how Gu Yao missed her family. If her husband and children were not with her,

, I will definitely go crazy, "That night, my man took out all the money those two people gave us, and planned to ask me to give it to you. In the morning, I would take you to the entrance of the village and get in the car, and then let you leave."

"But that night, neither of us slept, and we felt very uneasy," the hostess said. "We were worried that you would be in danger. I heard that there were a lot of gangsters in the town and the county. My husband said that those gangsters were...

You might kill someone, so we thought about it and decided not to send you away."

"If something happens to you after you leave, we will feel very sorry. I'm sorry for you and your family," the hostess said. "If your family comes to see you, or the two people who gave us money before come come to us," the hostess said,

You, knowing you are not here, they will definitely not let our family go."

"So, you should stay here with us, okay?" the hostess asked Gu Yao, "If you miss your child, you can play with my child. When you go back later, you can spend time with your child."

around."

Gu Yao nodded, indicating that she understood everything the hostess just said.

In fact, I am also worried in my heart. Although I say that I really want to go back and see Jing Ye and be with the children, but in this situation, I don't know how to go back? This place is very remote, and as the hostess said,

I am not familiar with the place and I dare not go alone.

The hostess saw Gu Yao nodding, and then said with a smile, "You will stay at our house first. My husband also said that he would ask around where he works to see if there is anyone who has gone to the county town or returned from a big city.

People, let those people help you."

"But this is unlikely, because the place where my man works is full of farmers, people like us." The hostess explained everything clearly to Gu Yao.

"Yes, I understand," Gu Yao nodded, then thought of something and asked, "Do you have a school here?"

"Yes, but there are only two teachers in the school." the hostess replied.

Gu Yao suddenly had a glimmer of hope and said to the hostess, "Can you take me to school tomorrow?"

Teachers should be educated people. If you communicate with them and ask them for help, it should be okay.

"Well..." the hostess agreed.
