Chapter 241 Mother and Daughter Meet

"Second brother, you need to be more careful in the future, and you can't always be like this.

Even when our family was not in decline, you can't treat others with this attitude.

What does it mean to be approachable?

The more qualified, cultured, and well-educated people are, the more amiable they are to others.

Look at you, so high and mighty, so complacent, even though you are in decline, your eyes are still on the top of your head."

"How can your parents feel at ease with you like this?"

"Dad, I know, I will change in the future."

Mother Gu covered her mouth and coughed twice, but a happy look appeared on her face.

"I'll go to the captain's house to help tomorrow. I'm happy to do so."

Gu Zhaolin was stunned for a moment.

"Mom, what can you do if you go there in your condition?

You keep coughing. If you really can't help, just give him a 50-cent gift and come back.

The production team leader can't do anything to you."

"Didn't you say that your sister is at the production team leader's house when she comes? I just want to see your sister."

Gu's mother had heard her son say that a long time ago. Seeing that her daughter didn't come to see them, she felt a little sad.

But after all, her daughter was so close to her, and she wanted to see her.

"Mom, Xia Zhi doesn't come to see you, so how can you go to see her?"

Gu Zhaolin was particularly angry. He felt that Xia Zhi, his sister, was not a member of their family.

"Shut up! She is your sister. You should be sensible when you speak. Does your attitude look like that of a brother?"

"Even if she ignores me, I am her biological mother. I just want to see her. As long as she is fine, I will be relieved."

Gu's mother coughed violently again.

"Ahem!"

Gu Zhaolin lowered his head. He couldn't understand. Xiaohan was so good. His parents had raised him for 20 years. But they did it for Xiazhi.

He forgot all the good things about Xiaohan.

It was all because of Xiazhi.

Xiazhi woke up early in the morning.

There was no way. Although she was tired yesterday, she knew that she had something to do this morning, so she couldn't sleep well.

Anyway, she could go home after she was done with the work today, and have a good rest after she went back.

It was still dark outside, but Xiazhi had already put on her clothes. The neighbors of this family were also woken up by her noise, but they knew that Xiazhi was going to the team leader's house to help.

On the contrary, the woman in the family got up and changed her clothes, accompanied Xiazhi, and went there in advance to help.

The man's family had already gotten up and started to get busy. After all, the man's family had to go to the bride's house early.

Xiazhi came to the yard of the production team leader. The team leader and his wife saw Xiazhi and greeted him hurriedly.

"Xiao Xia, you got up so early, sleep a little longer!"

"It's okay, we can just make do with breakfast."

He had to be polite, but ethically speaking, they had to eat dumplings in the morning when welcoming the bride. In these days, living conditions were not good, and even if there was no meat, they had to eat vegetarian dumplings, just for the sake of courtesy.

"How can that be possible?

Uncles and aunts, don't worry about it. We should eat dumplings in the morning. I see that the people who help haven't come yet, so I'll go and clean up now.

I guess everyone will be able to eat hot dumplings in a while."

He turned around and shouted to Gao Yanbin,

"Xiao Gao, come and help me."

The production team leader said hurriedly.

"Xiao Xia, I have invited a few aunts to help you today. I'm afraid Xiao Gao can't help you. He has to go with his uncle to welcome the bride."

"Okay!"

Xia Zhi entered the kitchen.

Without saying a word, he prepared to start kneading the dough and scooped out the dough from the bag.

Before he went to scoop water, he heard the voices of several women coming from the door.

"Captain, let's help!"

"Okay, okay, come into the kitchen!

The female comrade in the kitchen is Xiao Xia, you listen to her arrangements, and do whatever she arranges for you to do."

Three women walked into the kitchen. There should have been eight of them.

But five of them probably went back yesterday to discuss with their husbands, and they didn't come today.

The main reason why these five didn't come was that although they didn't have good conditions, they were confident compared to the three families.

On the contrary, even though Gu's mother was pale and coughing, she still came, mainly because she wanted to see her daughter.

Xia Zhi heard someone coming in, raised his head and said with a smile.

"Aunts, thanks to you for coming to help, otherwise I can't do it alone.

Come on, everyone, warm up the fire first, and then the two aunts, you can help me knead the dough.

I'm mixing the stuffing now, and we're going to make dumplings."

Xia Zhi's eyes fell on Gu's mother, and his eyes paused slightly.

But he didn't say a word, and he didn't even treat Gu's mother more affectionately than he treated others.

It's not that I don't know Gu's mother, it's because I recognize her that I don't care.

Think about it, my parents didn't even come to see me in the last life, they are both cruel and hard-hearted people, why should they have any intersection in this life.

Gu's mother saw her daughter's eyes sweeping over her, and even her indifferent expression.

Her cough immediately became more serious.

"Cough, cough... cough... cough..."

She squatted on the ground with her mouth covered, feeling that her heart, liver and lungs were about to cough out.

The other two women wanted to step forward and pat her on the back, but seeing her blushing face, they didn't know how to start for a while.

Xia Zhi smiled and said,

"Two aunts, then trouble you two to mix the dough."

The two aunts had to go to work. Xia Zhi heard that Gu's mother's cough was getting worse and worse, and finally couldn't hold it back.

He took an empty bowl, brought half a bowl of warm water and stuffed it into her hand,

"Drink some water to suppress it."

Gu's mother was coughing so hard that she could hardly breathe. At this moment, she couldn't say a word at all. She hurriedly drank half a bowl of water and finally suppressed her cough.

She wanted to take the bowl to Xia Zhi to apologize.

Who knew that Xia Zhi turned and walked away from her.

"After drinking the water, wash the bowl. After washing the bowl, go to light the fire and boil water in the pot. We will wrap the dumplings and put them in the pot directly. Everyone hasn't eaten breakfast yet."

Xia Zhi concentrated on cutting onions and chopping cabbage on the chopping board.

Today we had pork and green onions and pork and cabbage fillings.

Of course, there was less meat and more vegetables.

But these days, there are not many families like the production team leader's family who can eat dumplings so generously.

Most families just make do with what they have, wrapping some vegetarian stuffings such as cabbage, tofu, vermicelli, etc.

Gu's mother squatted in front of the stove, adding fire to the fire while filling the big pot with water.

Pulling the bellows and roasting the warm fire.

I feel that my cough has actually become much lighter.

Raising my eyebrows and looking at Xia Zhi, my heart can't help but warm up.

Although this child looks cold and doesn't even pay attention to me.

But in the end...

She is not a fool, anyone can do it.

And this job is the easiest, sitting here roasting the fire, I feel that I cough a lot.

In fact, she knows in her heart that this cough is caused by the cold in the winter for many years.

There is no cotton coat, so she wears two jackets inside, but the temperature here is minus 20 to 30 degrees, and the jackets can't stop it at all. After a long time, the heart and lungs are cold and it becomes like this.
