Hearing such a familiar voice, Uncle Gong Jian's pounding heart immediately fell back into her chest. She hurriedly relaxed her arms and threw the thick wooden stick in her hand aside. The short
Within a few seconds, her arms were extremely stiff. When she relaxed, she felt as if her arms were as heavy as lead.
But Mrs. Gong Jian ignored her sore arms and hurriedly unlocked the bolt and opened the door to let the people outside in.
Before Mrs. Gong Jian could fully open the door, she saw a dark figure outside and suddenly jumped into the yard.
Even though Mrs. Gong Jian was prepared, she was startled by this man's actions. She hurriedly pulled the man who came in and walked to the kitchen door. Only then could she see clearly by the firelight in the stove.
The person he was pulling was indeed his youngest son Gong Yaozu.
"Yaozu, why are you back? It's so late. You, how did you end up like this?"
Gong Jian's mother-in-law had just asked a question before she noticed her youngest son, who was very embarrassed at this time. It was a deep winter, and he didn't have a cotton coat on him. Instead, he appeared in tattered clothes.
In front of my mother.
Gong Yaozu, who entered the courtyard, now lost the hurried and cautious look he had just now. He stood up straight and then urged Uncle Gong Jian: "Mother, mother, hurry up and find me something to eat."
I'm almost freezing to death."
Aunt Gong Jian quickly pulled her youngest son and walked towards his house. As she walked, she kept asking: "Yaozu, what's going on with you? What's wrong with your clothes?"
Obviously, Gong Yaozu didn't want to continue discussing this issue. He said perfunctorily: "Didn't I go on a study tour with my teacher? When I came back, who knows what a coincidence, I encountered a group of robbers, and all my luggage and clothes were stolen.
They took it away. I defeated the boss and walked back home. Okay, hurry up, I'm freezing to death and starving to death."
Hearing that her son had suffered such a serious crime, Mrs. Gong Jian felt extremely distressed. She quickly quickened her pace and quickly dug out the cotton-padded coat he wore last year from her son's room.
"Yaozu, please put on your clothes quickly and warm yourself up. I'm boiling water in the kitchen, and I'll bring it to you right away. You can take a good wash. There's still food for lunch, so I'll heat it up right away. You'll have hot food in a while.
.”
Gong Yaozu was taking off the tattered clothes indiscriminately, and hurriedly put the cotton coat on him. He kept urging: "Okay, okay, you go quickly. Let's heat up the food first."
, I haven’t had a full meal for several days.”
Auntie Gong Jian immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll go right away." After saying that, she turned around and walked out. But when she reached the door, she turned back and returned to Gong Yaozu.
"My son, are you injured? These robbers are extremely heartless. Are they doing anything difficult for you? Let me see."
Gong Yaozu was putting on his cotton-padded clothes. He waved impatiently to dismiss his mother who was surrounding him: "Okay, Mom, I'm not hurt. Don't worry. Go and give me some hot food. I'll
I’m starving to death.”
Hearing her youngest son's impatient words, Mrs. Gong Jian reluctantly turned around and walked out of the room again. She also said: "You who are celebrating the New Year, you should be more careful in your speech. Don't always keep that word in your mouth."
On the edge."
She herself never cared about this matter, but she was always extremely careful about her two precious sons. If anything bad happened, Aunt Gong Jian did not want it to happen to her two sons.
This time her little son was in serious trouble. She had to hurry up to heat some food and let him eat something to fill his stomach. She didn't know how much suffering the child had suffered outside.
Seeing his mother walking out of the room, Gong Yaozu also put on his cotton-padded clothes. He immediately felt warm in this thick cotton-padded coat. His body, which was already stiff from the cold, started to feel warm again.
.
He took a deep breath and simply lay down on his bed. He put his hands under his head and looked at the roof blankly, thinking in his heart. This time he made a fortune in gambling. Not only did he spend all his money on
All the money was lost, even the clothes he was wearing were taken away by those people, and he also owed a lot of foreign debts.
He really didn't have any oil or water on him, so those people threw him on the street. He really didn't eat or drink for the whole day, and he finally returned home with difficulty when he was cold and hungry.
Now that he was better, he had cotton-padded clothes on him, and the room was warm. If his stomach hadn't been growling, he would have wanted to sleep peacefully like this.
Of course, Gong Yaozu is also worried now. How will he tell his parents and let them come up with money to pay off his debts? Of course, he will not say that he owes debts. What he is thinking about is, for what reason?
I asked my parents for a sum of money.
But before he could come up with an idea, the hunger in his stomach prompted him to get up from the bed again.
Gong Yaozu walked toward the kitchen while rubbing his belly. Before he entered the kitchen, he had already shouted: "Mom, is the food ready? I'm starving."
Aunt Gong Jian, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the cry of her youngest son and immediately responded loudly: "Okay, okay. It will be fine soon."
There was already leftovers at noon, and Mrs. Gong Jian even dug out a few eggs that the family had been reluctant to eat, and cooked a plate of scrambled eggs, intending to make up for it for her little son.
As soon as Gong Yaozu walked into the kitchen, he smelled the aroma of scrambled eggs. As soon as he saw the plate of golden scrambled eggs, his mouth watered down. He hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves and said hurriedly.
My own mother: "Mom, give me a bowl of rice quickly, hurry up, hurry up."
Seeing her little son's extremely hungry look, Mrs. Gong Jian felt distressed again. She hurriedly took out the bowl of hot rice from the stove, and before she could bring the food to the main room, she saw him
The youngest son picked up the rice bowl, put it on the stove, and wolfed down the rice and scrambled eggs in his mouth.
Auntie Gong Jian looked on, feeling sad. This kid Yaozu really suffered a big crime this time. Looking at him like this, he looked like he hadn't eaten for several days. This little son of his had always been a noble man.
Growing up, I never suffered like this.
Soon she saw that there was only half a bowl of rice left in the rice bowl in Gong Yaozu's hand. (To be continued)
