The husband's son-in-law
Chapter 33
Gu Si built a new house, and there were banquets in the yard. Li Guihua said to eat flowing banquets as soon as she saw people, and she ate them round after round.The people in the village were still puzzled, secretly learning why Li Guihua was so generous today, and she still set up a running water mat?
It's not like Li Guihua used to do pie.
Someone said: "I have 18 taels of silver, so what's the point of building a house and eating a flowing water mat?"
This is pure sour talk.
Someone also interjected: The Gu family has a close relationship, I heard that the Li family's crops in the paddy fields this year are at least this amount.He gestured with ten fingers.
I ran the meeting question again, can't I say it can't?How many acres?It's rumored.Finally, the topic came to Gu Si's house, where the running water seats were set up. After all, Li Guihua and Gu Si's couple had changed their sex and became rich.
Before the banquet started at noon, Mrs. Gu and Dafang's family came.Mrs. Gu is in good spirits, her hair is still smooth and smooth with pomade, not a single strand of hair is messed up, and she wears a forehead wiper with a purple bottom and red embroidered words on it. Someone came out It is said that the word "Shou" is in the middle.
The short jacket he was wearing looked like it was newly made. The fabric was the same as that of the forehead on his head. The front was open, and the chest was round and round with the word "Fu". I know many people here. All pairs are available.There are flowers on the collar and cuffs.
The old lady in the village who came early and waited for the feast was very impressed.
"Hey, old sister is lucky to dress up this year."
"Didn't you wear the word "Fu" on your body?"
"Who did the embroidery for the material of the clothes? Did your eldest daughter-in-law embroider it?"
Before Mrs. Gu said anything, Mrs. Zhu laughed and said, "I don't have such a good craftsmanship." Where do you want to have a big banquet, my boss said it was Zhengsheng, and as soon as Xiaosi heard that the banquet was held together in the house, the boss paid half of the money for my birthday."
It turned out to be the case.
The people in the village frowned at each other with pursed lips and smiles, saying why Li Guihua was so generous. It turned out that the big house for the banquet paid half of it.Mrs. Gu said this clearly, and Mrs. Zhu loved it when she heard it. Their big house can't pay for it, and the fourth house is all about face and favor.
Someone touched the material of Mrs. Gu's clothes, and they praised it, saying that the material is good, so it must not be cheap, right?It's even better than the one I pulled for my baby last year. I haven't seen this color before.
"Zhou Zhou said that the prefecture and county brought it back. I don't know how much it is. If the child spends money, he is filial to the child." Mrs. Gu praised Li Zhouzhou again and again.
Those who are not long-sighted take Li Zhouzhou to welcome his relatives, but Mrs. Gu turned around and left to talk about things.Mrs. Gu spat with a smile, and said, "You bastard, back then I just listened to the gossip outside, now you see how Zhao'er came to the door, and you take a closer look, how long does it take to grow up?" It is tall and strong, so it can be seen that the Li family is a good relationship, Zhou Zhou takes good care of it, and Zhao'er is not wronged..."
"I'm not wronged, I'm in Li's house, it's too late for Zhou Zhou to love me." Gu Zhao said with a smile.
Everyone laughed.
Li Zhouzhou was a little embarrassed, shy, but happy in his heart.
Life is full of life, and when you come to Gu's house for dinner, you always have to say some auspicious words on the surface, so you get together with Mrs. Gu and praise Gu's blessings, saying that the clothes are beautiful and the forehead is finely wiped-this is also true, even if Gu Zhaomen became a son-in-law, and the younger couple didn't forget you, an old lady, and they were still filial.
So Gu Shulang and Li Zhou became famous as filial piety.
Li Guihua laughed beside him, and couldn't get in the words. Why did Gu Zhao and Li Zhouzhou get all their reputations?This one is for wine at her house.
At this running water mat, Mrs. Gu has been in the limelight for a while. The women in the village love to talk and learn to speak. Usually, a red-headed rope can show off for a day or two, not to mention the new fashion that Mrs. Gu is wearing now. The color of the fabric, what is said and what is revealed in the eyes are not deceiving.
They are all envious.
Some people think that it would be wasteful for an old lady to wear such a good fabric color.Later, someone really went to the town to have a look. When they asked the price, they couldn’t bear to buy the same style. They chose a cheap one, but when they came back, they hated it. How much is the fabric of the jacket you wear worth, not to mention the cotton, and the embroidery work, tsk tsk, what do you think of the Li family picture?Such an expensive gift for an old lady.
In short, it was originally the enthusiasm of Gu Si's family to build a house and set up a water table, but after the table that day, it became the short jacket given by the old lady Gu to celebrate her birthday, and Li Zhouzhou gave half of the money, otherwise Li Guihua would be so stingy. willing?
The snow hasn't fallen yet.
The stove that Li's family put away was put out early.
People in the village bought it last year, and they will use it at about the same time this year. If you haven’t bought it, go to Zhu Mason’s house in Shili Village to buy it.So is Aunt Wang's house.This year, the paddy field harvest is better, and the hands are rich. In addition, last year, the grandson was crying from the cold. As soon as it was cold, the eldest son said that he wanted to buy a stove.
Aunt Wang's complexion changed at first, and finally she reluctantly handed over [-] Wen to the eldest son.
Just buy it.
There are many orders for stoves this year. Mason Zhu said that people from several nearby villages came to buy them, and they had to wait in line for six or seven days before picking them up.Zhu Mason's family made a lot of money this year by burning stoves and large tea pots.At this moment, Lao Tzu was sitting in front of the furnace in the backyard, holding a big tea mug in his hand, drinking hot tea when he had nothing to do, and watching his son work.
My son's craftsmanship is not as good as his, so I still need to see more.But now that he has a lot to live, he can't survive if he burns alone all day.
Mason Zhu said: "Before the snow falls, you and your daughter-in-law take time to go to the town. Don't forget the gift for Li's family. A piece of candy. Li Da seems to like drinking. Buy a jar of wine and dry goods. Don't save the money."
"Understood, dad." Zhu Mason's son knows that this year's income is all due to Gu Shulang's idea, how much does it cost to buy those things?
Although the big tea mug is cheap, it is easy to make and does not take much effort. People who do rough work in towns and villages like to use this. The yellow mud is also dug from the mountains near the village. It does not cost money, and the firewood is also picked up. It costs a lot Strength, and it turned out that this was the best seller and the most profitable.
Not to mention the stove.
"Look at it, don't be shabby, I see that Gu Shulang is very lucky."
Zhu Mason's son felt that his father was talking too high again. Gu Shulang was smarter, and the big teapot he was thinking about was easy to use, but he couldn't make a big fortune, right?Could it be that he could still stand shoulder to shoulder with the scholar in the village?
After a few days, people from various nearby villages came to fetch the stove, including Aunt Wang's son.This person met last year, and he came only after the 28 furnaces were sealed. Zhu Mason's son remembered it clearly, and asked if there was a child in the family, could he be accommodated.
What are you thinking?If you have children in your family, you won’t come to buy them early, and the furnace in his house is sealed. If you take it apart and burn it to get the new year’s [-]th, it won’t be a New Year’s Eve?
I've never seen anything like this, so if you feel sorry for your child, come earlier.
Aunt Wang's eldest son was relieved to buy the stove, and smiled a lot. He chatted with Zhu Mason's son, and talked about the good harvest this year and how to fertilize the field.Zhu Mason's son was confused when he heard this, what can be done to make the field more fertile?
As soon as he asked, the man vaguely took the stove and ran away.
Turning around, Zhu Mason's son told his father.Mason Zhu said, "That guy just now is from Xiping Village?"
"That's right, last year I came to buy a stove and said it was next door to Li's house, I remember."
Zhu Mason came to his senses and asked his son to learn the words carefully. After listening, he said, "This time, I will go to Li's house to pay New Year's greetings early. I will go with you."
"Ah? Dad, don't you need it? It's cold in the cold weather."
"I'm talking to Li Da, you know nothing, hurry up and work." Zhu Mason kicked the son who didn't understand.
At the end of December, it finally snowed.The rain and snow this year did not come earlier than last year, and the farmers in the village were worried, and they were relieved when the snow finally fell.
Li Zhouzhou made clothes some time ago, and after making a short jacket for Grandma Gu, he also made a suit for his father.The piece of indigo cloth was sold to Brother Xing for ten feet, and the rest was enough to make a short jacket, but the cloth for Xianggong's robe might not be enough.
"I have enough clothes, especially robes. I don't wear much dowry robes." Gu Zhao saw that Zhou Zhou wanted to go to the town to buy another piece of cloth to make him a robe, so he held hands to persuade him, and walked to the town in this cold day , the wind blows on the face like a knife, tired and cold.
"That new piece of blue, you make a new jacket for you."
Li Zhouzhou: "This material is so good, I'm wasting it when I wear it for work."
"Nonsense." Gu Zhaoxian denied his wife's words that wearing new clothes was a waste, then leaned over to cling to his wife like sticky candy, and said coquettishly, "I also have a blue robe? Zhou Zhou also made a blue jacket." My son, when the time comes for the New Year, we will wear couple outfits, and when we go out, we will know that we are a loving couple."
The husband said what he didn't understand and understood again.Li Zhouzhou was thinking about the scene that Xianggong said, and felt that the stove in the main room was so hot that he couldn't sit still, his face was burning, and finally he hummed and said: "Okay."
With the last ten feet of indigo fabric left, Li Zhouzhou made himself a quilted torticolli brown jacket, and there was some fabric left over, which was just used to tie his hair.
Made it for dad.
There is a lot of slack in farming, and Li Zhouzhou couldn’t stay idle after finishing his clothes. He also dismantled and put together the messy clothes that he couldn’t wear at home. He made a thick door curtain, stitched it several times, and hung it at the entrance of the main room to keep out the wind. To keep out the cold, put one side on the door during the day, leaving only one corner exposed for ventilation.
The whole house is much warmer.
Now there is bone soup in the pot, a few jujubes, white radish with a hob, the soup is milky white, and some noodles, cabbage and tofu in it are delicious, and the stomach is hot, sweating and comfortable.
In the 26th year, Li Da went to the village next to the village to kill pigs in a bag.
The pork offal brought back this year was saved in a large pot. Li Zhouzhou learned how to stew the chicken, cooking it in two batches, he was afraid it would be spoiled.In fact, in previous years, it was washed and fried with oil and sauce.
Hot oil, brown sugar, aniseed ingredients and wine, boiled for more than half an hour, took the firewood and brought it to the back stove, the husband said that if you put more, it will taste better, it was almost dark when dad came back, and Li Zhouzhou just picked up a bowl The remaining heat of the lo mei is still in the water, and the large pieces are cut and piled up in a bowl.
What I drank was miscellaneous grain porridge, a plate of shredded radish, a bowl of stewed meat, and steaming steamed buns.
"Father, how about a taste? Is it some braised meat?"
Li Zhouzhou felt that it was different from when he stewed the chicken. He couldn't say it, but he thought it was good anyway.
There are also chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, pork liver, pig lungs, pig intestines, etc. On the surface, the color is dark red, and the sauce is fragrant and oily.
Li Da first picked up a piece, because he slaughtered pigs, and the pigs in front of him went into the water to eat every year. To be honest, he was already tired of it, but how could the farmers pick up food and waste it?
rush.
But today is different.Li Da tasted it. He didn't know what lo-mei was, but it was delicious. "It's better than the one fried with sauce before." He didn't stop chopsticks, and took a mouthful of steamed buns.
Gu Zhao also thought it was good, and it might have something to do with the ingredients themselves. The chickens and pigs here are all fed with wheat bran and hogweed, and the chickens are still walking around in the backyard. The meat is of good quality, and the wine is also brewed with grain.
"It's delicious. Soak it for another night and try it tomorrow morning. This pot of soup can be used as a marinade."
Li Zhouzhou listened to his husband, and there were still some left in the pot. The next morning, he fished out a piece and tasted it. The taste was even stronger. He took the rest out. Put the rest of the marinade into the water.
In the morning, steamed bun porridge is served with water.
Later, I saved it when I was in the water. When I was 28 years old, Li Zhouzhou stewed a big pot overnight.On the 29th day of the new year, Mason Zhu brought his son, daughter-in-law and grandson to pay New Year's greetings, and brought many gifts.
Sugar, wine, dried fruit, and a piece of cloth.This is not cheap.
The big guys sat in the main room talking, it was warm, Li Zhouzhou prepared melon seeds, peanuts and caramel for the children to eat, and also served candied fruit. Naturally, Li's family kept Zhu Mason's family for lunch, and they brought gifts.
At noon, Li Zhouzhou and Zhu Mason's eldest daughter-in-law packed up a table of meals. Yesterday's marinated pot of water happened to be able to be served. Originally, the pot of water was not serious meat, so it must not be suitable for entertaining guests. It's fresh, Li Zhouzhou let Mrs. Zhu have a taste first.
"Can you go up?"
"Hey, if you don't say this is water, I can't even taste it. It's really well done."
Sister-in-law Zhu is also a capable person. She tasted delicious food and was surprised that she had never seen it before.Her family is a craftsman, and her father-in-law and husband-in-law rely on handicrafts to make a living. Now that the Li family has figured out a new food, how can she ask this with a shy face?
What if a person wants to do business?
Wait until this bowl of marinated water is on the table.Li's stew is a pot of white rice, chicken and fish, fried meatballs, two vegetarian dishes, cabbage tofu, and meat sauce, which is delicious.
A salad of shredded radish.
Because of the stove and kang at home, Gu Zhao has been a little angry lately - he himself finds it strange.I just came here for the first time to spend the winter, and I didn’t hug Zhou Zhou when I slept at night. His hands and feet were cold. It’s only been more than a year now, and the clothes I’m wearing are the same thickness as last year. The kang was also burned last year. Fire.
Li Da said it was a good thing, he recovered, and the young men in the village were full of anger.
Good things are good things, but getting angry also suffers.Gu Zhao has a mouth ulcer, and it hurts so much that he has no appetite to eat. Li Zhouzhou feels sorry for his husband, and he recently broke the bone soup, so he irritated him with shredded radish salad.
At first, the Zhu family was embarrassed to pick up meat and vegetables. They looked so greedy and ugly, so they took a bite of meat and two chopsticks, shredded cabbage and radish. But Zhu Mason’s grandson and child naturally love to eat meat, so my mother picked up radish. Si shook her head and said she wanted to eat meat.
"Everyone, you're welcome. My family mixed the radishes for me every week. I've gotten a little angry recently." Gu Zhao said.
The son of Zhu Mason drank some, and when he heard this, he laughed and said something nasty, "It's simple, what else do you eat, just go to the fire at night." Then his wife stepped on the table and said Say something nonsense.
Before continuing, Zhu Mason first said that the water tasted different and delicious.Li Da answered the conversation, so they started talking about the deliciousness of the marinated fish, praising Li Zhouzhou's craftsmanship, and others, anyway, no one mentioned that sentence just now.
Li Zhouzhou responded to the words on the face, the roots of his ears were red.
After dinner, Li Zhouzhou and Mrs. Zhu cleaned up, and the child sat in front of the stove to warm up and eat caramel.Li Da and Mason Zhu were chatting in the room, and Mason Zhu's son and Gu Zhao accompanied him to interject occasionally.
Fertilizer.
In the end, Li Da explained the method of fertilizing the dry fields.
The days of winter were short, and Zhu Mason's family was leaving after chatting for a while. Li Zhouzhou filled a big jar of braised meat for Aunt Zhu, and Aunt Zhu accepted it after a couple of refusals.
As soon as he left Li's house, Mason Zhu slapped his son on the back of the head bitterly.
"You pig's mouth, the table is full of meat and you can't stop it."
"I forgot when I said I was happy, but I was right. Gu Shulang got angry, and he was not alone. He hugged his brother at night—"
"You still say!" Mason Zhu raised his hand and hit again.
In fact, it is common for men in the village to say nasty words at the table, but Gu Shulang of the Li family is a scholar, and he respects Li Zhouzhou very much, so it is naturally not good to say such words in front of others.
Zhu Mason's eldest son was beaten, and he didn't know why, but it was just an ordinary sentence, what's the matter?Everyone said it when he was drinking and eating with other villagers.
"In the middle of what you just said, I saw that Gu Shulang's amiable expression was different. Who in the house likes his man to vent his anger in front of outsiders?" Aunt Zhu rolled her eyes at the man, and it was not from a secret door. little whore.
Mason Zhu didn't want to interrupt this, but said: "Be careful what you say in Li's house in the future. I know you didn't keep the door open. Last year, I asked your daughter-in-law to come with me. I will learn from it in the future. Don't say anything but your brain will be bald." chatter."
"Okay, go back quickly, go back and find a place to dig a hole, collect urine and shit, don't burn the wheat stalks, keep them all."
"Father, the ground freezes when it snows, how do you dig?"
"I don't care how you dig, talk so much, do more work to vent your energy."
Li family had a good lunch, and was not particularly hungry at night. He cooked a pot of vegetable soup with cabbage and tofu balls in it, but he didn't cook it with bone soup, it was clear soup, to scrape off the oil in his stomach.
Li Da was drinking vegetable soup, but he had never dared to think about when he ate too much oil and water and would scrape it off.
Really have a good time.
After washing, I went to bed early.
The back room was very warm, Li Zhouzhou blew on the oil lamp, and in the dark untied his underwear.Gu Zhao pressed Zhou Zhou's hand and said, "I never thought of using you as a tool to get angry."
"Zhou Zhou, I respect and love you, we are one, and you are the most important person in my world." Gu Zhao kissed Zhou Zhou, explaining intentionally, "At the age when I came here, it was actually not easy to have sex often, it was easy If you don’t grow tall, you will not be good in this aspect in the future.”
But if he doesn't touch Zhou Zhou, if he doesn't do it, Zhou Zhou will feel that he dislikes him, so he doesn't touch him.
"I think we still have a long life, and the number of times was less at that time. You won't blame me, will you?"
Li Zhouzhou shook his head, thinking that my husband couldn't see, and said: "I just heard my husband say that, but I was a little bit delusional, thinking that I'm not good enough or soft enough, that my husband doesn't love—"
"But every time I do it, my husband loves to kiss and hug me. After a long time, I know that my husband hasn't lied to me or disliked me. He really nourishes his body."
Li Zhouzhou is not stupid, and after finishing speaking, his voice was softer, "Master, the last time was three or four days ago, and I didn't think you would take me—"
Gu Zhao has already kissed her.
"I'm healthy now, try it every week?"
It was a long night.The next morning, Li Zhouzhou didn't get up in a daze. Fortunately, on the [-]th, the meatballs and fruits that were supposed to be fried before were made earlier this year, and there was nothing to do. Li Zhouzhou rarely slept late. Wait for the weather outside to improve before getting up.
"Father went for a walk early in the morning, saying that the room is too hot and suffocating." Gu Zhao told his wife.
Li Zhouzhou breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise, if he made this point, Dad must know what's going on, so I'm embarrassed.
"Wear new clothes every week." Gu Zhao gave new clothes, and he changed into the blue robe himself, saying, "We two are in couple clothes, we will put them on later, I will cook for lunch and take a stroll in the afternoon."
Give yourself half a day off during the Chinese New Year.
Li Zhouzhou quickly changed into new clothes and said, "I cook, and my waist is not particularly sore now."
After eating at noon, the two held hands and wandered around the village outside in the afternoon. It might have been cold and snowy, and every household closed their doors and baked stoves in the house to keep warm. Occasionally, someone was strolling outside and saw Li Zhouzhou and Gu Shulang praised a few words.
Said that the new clothes look good, and the two of them really match each other when they walk.
Li Zhouzhou suppressed his shyness and said thank you, Auntie.
On the New Year's Eve, the night vigil is set off, and the firecrackers are set off, and the new year is here.
Peace and safety, another year old.
After that, they visited relatives and went to Gu's house in Dongping Village. This time, they went to Uncle Gu's house to see Grandma Gu, and the gift was the same as that given to Li Guihua.
Of course Mrs. Zhu was happy, and warmly greeted the two of them to sit and drink tea.
When Mrs. Zhu went to work in the kitchen, Li Zhouzhou poured hot tea outside.
Grandma Gu then said her heartfelt words to her grandson: "You are now a member of the Li family. I have lived with your uncle. Your uncle and wife have treated me well. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Don't take the gift so seriously in the future. Otherwise, Li Guihua will not look good when she sees it, and after a long time, if it is difficult for you, don’t take it, and your aunt will keep it in mind when the time comes, for fear of being compared with the past."
"You are filial, grandma remembers, but whoever's family eats whose food, you are from the Li family, and you get it from the Gu family. After a long time, the Li family doesn't love it. The one you really want to be filial to is Li Da." The old lady sighed for a long time, "At the beginning I prevented you from coming to be your son-in-law, but you insisted on it. I know you want to study and continue to take the imperial examination. It is a big expense. The Li family can pay for you. You Keep it in mind."
Gu Zhao seriously said that he kept it in his heart.
Grandma Gu nodded, and then said: "If you are successful in the future, others will say that you are a son-in-law, look down on you, deliberately shame you, and laugh at you for not being a man. You chose it yourself. Don't vent your anger on me. Li family, Zhou Zhou has it all, I see that child doesn't look good, but he's honest, it's true for you."
"Don't blame Grandma's bad-sounding words. If you can't read anything famous and have no future, don't read it. The Li family is not a wealthy family. Live a good life. If you work hard on the crops, you won't be hungry."
Gu Zhao replied earnestly: "I will write it down, grandma. If you don't expect to fail the exam, you will stop studying."
"Okay." Grandma Gu felt that her grandson has grown up, is sensible, and can take responsibility, and said lovingly, "If Li Guihua says something bad in front of you, I will use filial piety to suppress you, and Grandma will stand up for you."
Gu Si's family built a house and set up a banquet.At that time, Mrs. Gu's short jacket was in the limelight, and when Li Guihua heard how much the fabric of the short jacket cost, she suddenly bluffed, thinking that the gift that Li Zhouzhou and Gu Zhao came to get last time was nothing.
Her gift is only worth a few bucks, and the coat on the old lady's body can buy three copies.
Li Guihua wants it too, especially the embroidery on it is so pretty.
So when chatting with Mrs. Zhu, the inside and outside of the conversation reveal that although Zhao'er has married into the Li family, she is still half of the family. Although she is a stepmother, she also diligently washes and cooks for Zhao'er. It's hard work, now Zhao'er's brother can make her a jacket, isn't it too much?
Li Guihua wanted to be pressured by filial piety, but she didn't expect that there was a legitimate mother-in-law above her.
And the mother-in-law is still a couple.
Li Zhouzhou and Gu Zhaoxian went to the uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings to grandma, and they had a chat. When they were about to go back to Yue's house, grandma Gu went with them. Just as Li Guihua mentioned the word "coat", grandma Gu made a fuss about her birthday. I didn't see Li Guihua give her a few pennies. If the family was really separated, didn't she grow up with Gu Si?Lost the kindness of being a mother?
Gu Si dared to answer these words, first scolded Li Guihua for forgetting to prepare a birthday present for her mother.
In the end Li Zhouzhou was about to leave, and Li Guihua didn't dare to mention filial piety and jacket anymore.
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I went to Zhu Xiucai's house again, and took a piece of candy, three catties of meat, and cut a piece of cloth from Zhu Mason's last time, without wine.Li Zhouzhou thought about last year, there was a child in Zhu Xiucai's family, he is about two years old now, right?
It is better to take these gifts.
Zhu Xiucai's house is still the same as before, nothing has changed, the main room is small and dark.Li Zhouzhou saw that Zhu Xiucai's wife and aunt had frostbite on all ten fingers, so he took over the job and asked him to do it, but the two said that there is no reason for visiting guests to cook, so they asked Li Zhouzhou to go to the main room for a rest .
Xianggong and Zhu Xiucai talked about knowledge, but Li Zhouzhou didn't understand and didn't want to bother him, and there was no work in the kitchen, so he hugged Zhu Xiucai's son and played with him.
The child was thin and his face was a little yellow.Li Zhouzhou didn't want to ask if the child was in poor health.It's Chinese New Year, it will be bad luck to be a guest and ask this person.
It's just that when they were two years old, Yuan Yuan from Brother Xing's family raised him to be white and fat.
After leaving Zhu Xiucai's house, he went to Zhu Mason's house, and went back without eating.Afterwards, there was no need to pay New Year's greetings, and Li Zhouzhou felt that he was getting fatter after eating at home.
"Where is he fat? Zhou Zhou looks better to me." Gu Zhao said the truth.
When they got married, he was thin, and Zhou Zhou was also thin.Now that the two of them have grown flesh together, Zhou Zhou's flesh grew where it should have grown, and his buttocks are upturned and his waist is thin——
cough cough.
I still don't want to in broad daylight.
Li Zhou Zhou saw the way his grandfather looked at him, how could he not understand, and he didn't feel fat immediately.
Seeing that the Lantern Festival was over, it was over smoothly, but in the evening of No. 13, it was already dark, and it was snowing, and the door of Li's courtyard was closed early, when suddenly someone knocked on the door and shouted: "Uncle , Brother Zhou Zhou."
Fortunately, Li Da soaked his feet and came out to pour the footwashing water. He heard him, opened the door, and saw that his head, shoulders, and body were covered with snow.
"Guangzong?" Li Da heard the sound, and hurriedly hugged Li Guangzong with one arm and went to the main room.
"Zhou Zhou, take the oil lamp and call the second child."
Gu Zhao said: "Father, let me go, the road is slippery, and Zhou Zhou can help my cousin to cook hot water at home." He said and went out to Li Er's house with an oil lamp.
Li Guangzong studied accounting in the prefecture and county, and everyone in the village knew about it.I didn't expect to come back suddenly this time, still looking like this, covered in snow, just looking at it, there seems to be red marks on my face, I don't know if it was beaten or frozen.
Li's house is close to the village entrance, and Li Er's house is a little further up.It is estimated that Li Guangzong gritted his teeth and walked all the way back from the prefecture and county. He really couldn't bear it anymore, so he knocked on Li's gate and called for someone.
Li Er's family has already rested.
Gu Zhao went to knock on the door, and dawdled inside for a while, Liu Huaxiang opened the door with a temper, "Everyone is resting at night, what can't be—"
"Guangzong came back from the prefecture, and he couldn't hold on. This will be at my house." Gu Zhao interrupted.
Liu Huaxiang exploded lazily at first, "Impossible!"
But what is Gu Shulang doing with this deception.Whether Guangzong came back, wouldn't she know as soon as he went?Liu Huaxiang panicked, and shouted at the man to leave quickly, Li Er was not dressed neatly, locked the courtyard door, and hurried to Li's family.
Liu Huaxiang entered Li's family, couldn't see anything else, walked hurriedly into the main room, and saw Guangzong sitting on the stool as if he had lost half his life, his face was still red with blood marks, it was scratched by fingernails at a glance.
"Who hit you?!"
When Li Guangzong saw his parents, he couldn't hold back. He burst into tears and said, "Mother, I won't go to the prefecture or county anymore. My aunt beat me, and grandma didn't help me, and didn't give me food. I'm hungry every day and can't get enough..."
It's not like Li Guihua used to do pie.
Someone said: "I have 18 taels of silver, so what's the point of building a house and eating a flowing water mat?"
This is pure sour talk.
Someone also interjected: The Gu family has a close relationship, I heard that the Li family's crops in the paddy fields this year are at least this amount.He gestured with ten fingers.
I ran the meeting question again, can't I say it can't?How many acres?It's rumored.Finally, the topic came to Gu Si's house, where the running water seats were set up. After all, Li Guihua and Gu Si's couple had changed their sex and became rich.
Before the banquet started at noon, Mrs. Gu and Dafang's family came.Mrs. Gu is in good spirits, her hair is still smooth and smooth with pomade, not a single strand of hair is messed up, and she wears a forehead wiper with a purple bottom and red embroidered words on it. Someone came out It is said that the word "Shou" is in the middle.
The short jacket he was wearing looked like it was newly made. The fabric was the same as that of the forehead on his head. The front was open, and the chest was round and round with the word "Fu". I know many people here. All pairs are available.There are flowers on the collar and cuffs.
The old lady in the village who came early and waited for the feast was very impressed.
"Hey, old sister is lucky to dress up this year."
"Didn't you wear the word "Fu" on your body?"
"Who did the embroidery for the material of the clothes? Did your eldest daughter-in-law embroider it?"
Before Mrs. Gu said anything, Mrs. Zhu laughed and said, "I don't have such a good craftsmanship." Where do you want to have a big banquet, my boss said it was Zhengsheng, and as soon as Xiaosi heard that the banquet was held together in the house, the boss paid half of the money for my birthday."
It turned out to be the case.
The people in the village frowned at each other with pursed lips and smiles, saying why Li Guihua was so generous. It turned out that the big house for the banquet paid half of it.Mrs. Gu said this clearly, and Mrs. Zhu loved it when she heard it. Their big house can't pay for it, and the fourth house is all about face and favor.
Someone touched the material of Mrs. Gu's clothes, and they praised it, saying that the material is good, so it must not be cheap, right?It's even better than the one I pulled for my baby last year. I haven't seen this color before.
"Zhou Zhou said that the prefecture and county brought it back. I don't know how much it is. If the child spends money, he is filial to the child." Mrs. Gu praised Li Zhouzhou again and again.
Those who are not long-sighted take Li Zhouzhou to welcome his relatives, but Mrs. Gu turned around and left to talk about things.Mrs. Gu spat with a smile, and said, "You bastard, back then I just listened to the gossip outside, now you see how Zhao'er came to the door, and you take a closer look, how long does it take to grow up?" It is tall and strong, so it can be seen that the Li family is a good relationship, Zhou Zhou takes good care of it, and Zhao'er is not wronged..."
"I'm not wronged, I'm in Li's house, it's too late for Zhou Zhou to love me." Gu Zhao said with a smile.
Everyone laughed.
Li Zhouzhou was a little embarrassed, shy, but happy in his heart.
Life is full of life, and when you come to Gu's house for dinner, you always have to say some auspicious words on the surface, so you get together with Mrs. Gu and praise Gu's blessings, saying that the clothes are beautiful and the forehead is finely wiped-this is also true, even if Gu Zhaomen became a son-in-law, and the younger couple didn't forget you, an old lady, and they were still filial.
So Gu Shulang and Li Zhou became famous as filial piety.
Li Guihua laughed beside him, and couldn't get in the words. Why did Gu Zhao and Li Zhouzhou get all their reputations?This one is for wine at her house.
At this running water mat, Mrs. Gu has been in the limelight for a while. The women in the village love to talk and learn to speak. Usually, a red-headed rope can show off for a day or two, not to mention the new fashion that Mrs. Gu is wearing now. The color of the fabric, what is said and what is revealed in the eyes are not deceiving.
They are all envious.
Some people think that it would be wasteful for an old lady to wear such a good fabric color.Later, someone really went to the town to have a look. When they asked the price, they couldn’t bear to buy the same style. They chose a cheap one, but when they came back, they hated it. How much is the fabric of the jacket you wear worth, not to mention the cotton, and the embroidery work, tsk tsk, what do you think of the Li family picture?Such an expensive gift for an old lady.
In short, it was originally the enthusiasm of Gu Si's family to build a house and set up a water table, but after the table that day, it became the short jacket given by the old lady Gu to celebrate her birthday, and Li Zhouzhou gave half of the money, otherwise Li Guihua would be so stingy. willing?
The snow hasn't fallen yet.
The stove that Li's family put away was put out early.
People in the village bought it last year, and they will use it at about the same time this year. If you haven’t bought it, go to Zhu Mason’s house in Shili Village to buy it.So is Aunt Wang's house.This year, the paddy field harvest is better, and the hands are rich. In addition, last year, the grandson was crying from the cold. As soon as it was cold, the eldest son said that he wanted to buy a stove.
Aunt Wang's complexion changed at first, and finally she reluctantly handed over [-] Wen to the eldest son.
Just buy it.
There are many orders for stoves this year. Mason Zhu said that people from several nearby villages came to buy them, and they had to wait in line for six or seven days before picking them up.Zhu Mason's family made a lot of money this year by burning stoves and large tea pots.At this moment, Lao Tzu was sitting in front of the furnace in the backyard, holding a big tea mug in his hand, drinking hot tea when he had nothing to do, and watching his son work.
My son's craftsmanship is not as good as his, so I still need to see more.But now that he has a lot to live, he can't survive if he burns alone all day.
Mason Zhu said: "Before the snow falls, you and your daughter-in-law take time to go to the town. Don't forget the gift for Li's family. A piece of candy. Li Da seems to like drinking. Buy a jar of wine and dry goods. Don't save the money."
"Understood, dad." Zhu Mason's son knows that this year's income is all due to Gu Shulang's idea, how much does it cost to buy those things?
Although the big tea mug is cheap, it is easy to make and does not take much effort. People who do rough work in towns and villages like to use this. The yellow mud is also dug from the mountains near the village. It does not cost money, and the firewood is also picked up. It costs a lot Strength, and it turned out that this was the best seller and the most profitable.
Not to mention the stove.
"Look at it, don't be shabby, I see that Gu Shulang is very lucky."
Zhu Mason's son felt that his father was talking too high again. Gu Shulang was smarter, and the big teapot he was thinking about was easy to use, but he couldn't make a big fortune, right?Could it be that he could still stand shoulder to shoulder with the scholar in the village?
After a few days, people from various nearby villages came to fetch the stove, including Aunt Wang's son.This person met last year, and he came only after the 28 furnaces were sealed. Zhu Mason's son remembered it clearly, and asked if there was a child in the family, could he be accommodated.
What are you thinking?If you have children in your family, you won’t come to buy them early, and the furnace in his house is sealed. If you take it apart and burn it to get the new year’s [-]th, it won’t be a New Year’s Eve?
I've never seen anything like this, so if you feel sorry for your child, come earlier.
Aunt Wang's eldest son was relieved to buy the stove, and smiled a lot. He chatted with Zhu Mason's son, and talked about the good harvest this year and how to fertilize the field.Zhu Mason's son was confused when he heard this, what can be done to make the field more fertile?
As soon as he asked, the man vaguely took the stove and ran away.
Turning around, Zhu Mason's son told his father.Mason Zhu said, "That guy just now is from Xiping Village?"
"That's right, last year I came to buy a stove and said it was next door to Li's house, I remember."
Zhu Mason came to his senses and asked his son to learn the words carefully. After listening, he said, "This time, I will go to Li's house to pay New Year's greetings early. I will go with you."
"Ah? Dad, don't you need it? It's cold in the cold weather."
"I'm talking to Li Da, you know nothing, hurry up and work." Zhu Mason kicked the son who didn't understand.
At the end of December, it finally snowed.The rain and snow this year did not come earlier than last year, and the farmers in the village were worried, and they were relieved when the snow finally fell.
Li Zhouzhou made clothes some time ago, and after making a short jacket for Grandma Gu, he also made a suit for his father.The piece of indigo cloth was sold to Brother Xing for ten feet, and the rest was enough to make a short jacket, but the cloth for Xianggong's robe might not be enough.
"I have enough clothes, especially robes. I don't wear much dowry robes." Gu Zhao saw that Zhou Zhou wanted to go to the town to buy another piece of cloth to make him a robe, so he held hands to persuade him, and walked to the town in this cold day , the wind blows on the face like a knife, tired and cold.
"That new piece of blue, you make a new jacket for you."
Li Zhouzhou: "This material is so good, I'm wasting it when I wear it for work."
"Nonsense." Gu Zhaoxian denied his wife's words that wearing new clothes was a waste, then leaned over to cling to his wife like sticky candy, and said coquettishly, "I also have a blue robe? Zhou Zhou also made a blue jacket." My son, when the time comes for the New Year, we will wear couple outfits, and when we go out, we will know that we are a loving couple."
The husband said what he didn't understand and understood again.Li Zhouzhou was thinking about the scene that Xianggong said, and felt that the stove in the main room was so hot that he couldn't sit still, his face was burning, and finally he hummed and said: "Okay."
With the last ten feet of indigo fabric left, Li Zhouzhou made himself a quilted torticolli brown jacket, and there was some fabric left over, which was just used to tie his hair.
Made it for dad.
There is a lot of slack in farming, and Li Zhouzhou couldn’t stay idle after finishing his clothes. He also dismantled and put together the messy clothes that he couldn’t wear at home. He made a thick door curtain, stitched it several times, and hung it at the entrance of the main room to keep out the wind. To keep out the cold, put one side on the door during the day, leaving only one corner exposed for ventilation.
The whole house is much warmer.
Now there is bone soup in the pot, a few jujubes, white radish with a hob, the soup is milky white, and some noodles, cabbage and tofu in it are delicious, and the stomach is hot, sweating and comfortable.
In the 26th year, Li Da went to the village next to the village to kill pigs in a bag.
The pork offal brought back this year was saved in a large pot. Li Zhouzhou learned how to stew the chicken, cooking it in two batches, he was afraid it would be spoiled.In fact, in previous years, it was washed and fried with oil and sauce.
Hot oil, brown sugar, aniseed ingredients and wine, boiled for more than half an hour, took the firewood and brought it to the back stove, the husband said that if you put more, it will taste better, it was almost dark when dad came back, and Li Zhouzhou just picked up a bowl The remaining heat of the lo mei is still in the water, and the large pieces are cut and piled up in a bowl.
What I drank was miscellaneous grain porridge, a plate of shredded radish, a bowl of stewed meat, and steaming steamed buns.
"Father, how about a taste? Is it some braised meat?"
Li Zhouzhou felt that it was different from when he stewed the chicken. He couldn't say it, but he thought it was good anyway.
There are also chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, pork liver, pig lungs, pig intestines, etc. On the surface, the color is dark red, and the sauce is fragrant and oily.
Li Da first picked up a piece, because he slaughtered pigs, and the pigs in front of him went into the water to eat every year. To be honest, he was already tired of it, but how could the farmers pick up food and waste it?
rush.
But today is different.Li Da tasted it. He didn't know what lo-mei was, but it was delicious. "It's better than the one fried with sauce before." He didn't stop chopsticks, and took a mouthful of steamed buns.
Gu Zhao also thought it was good, and it might have something to do with the ingredients themselves. The chickens and pigs here are all fed with wheat bran and hogweed, and the chickens are still walking around in the backyard. The meat is of good quality, and the wine is also brewed with grain.
"It's delicious. Soak it for another night and try it tomorrow morning. This pot of soup can be used as a marinade."
Li Zhouzhou listened to his husband, and there were still some left in the pot. The next morning, he fished out a piece and tasted it. The taste was even stronger. He took the rest out. Put the rest of the marinade into the water.
In the morning, steamed bun porridge is served with water.
Later, I saved it when I was in the water. When I was 28 years old, Li Zhouzhou stewed a big pot overnight.On the 29th day of the new year, Mason Zhu brought his son, daughter-in-law and grandson to pay New Year's greetings, and brought many gifts.
Sugar, wine, dried fruit, and a piece of cloth.This is not cheap.
The big guys sat in the main room talking, it was warm, Li Zhouzhou prepared melon seeds, peanuts and caramel for the children to eat, and also served candied fruit. Naturally, Li's family kept Zhu Mason's family for lunch, and they brought gifts.
At noon, Li Zhouzhou and Zhu Mason's eldest daughter-in-law packed up a table of meals. Yesterday's marinated pot of water happened to be able to be served. Originally, the pot of water was not serious meat, so it must not be suitable for entertaining guests. It's fresh, Li Zhouzhou let Mrs. Zhu have a taste first.
"Can you go up?"
"Hey, if you don't say this is water, I can't even taste it. It's really well done."
Sister-in-law Zhu is also a capable person. She tasted delicious food and was surprised that she had never seen it before.Her family is a craftsman, and her father-in-law and husband-in-law rely on handicrafts to make a living. Now that the Li family has figured out a new food, how can she ask this with a shy face?
What if a person wants to do business?
Wait until this bowl of marinated water is on the table.Li's stew is a pot of white rice, chicken and fish, fried meatballs, two vegetarian dishes, cabbage tofu, and meat sauce, which is delicious.
A salad of shredded radish.
Because of the stove and kang at home, Gu Zhao has been a little angry lately - he himself finds it strange.I just came here for the first time to spend the winter, and I didn’t hug Zhou Zhou when I slept at night. His hands and feet were cold. It’s only been more than a year now, and the clothes I’m wearing are the same thickness as last year. The kang was also burned last year. Fire.
Li Da said it was a good thing, he recovered, and the young men in the village were full of anger.
Good things are good things, but getting angry also suffers.Gu Zhao has a mouth ulcer, and it hurts so much that he has no appetite to eat. Li Zhouzhou feels sorry for his husband, and he recently broke the bone soup, so he irritated him with shredded radish salad.
At first, the Zhu family was embarrassed to pick up meat and vegetables. They looked so greedy and ugly, so they took a bite of meat and two chopsticks, shredded cabbage and radish. But Zhu Mason’s grandson and child naturally love to eat meat, so my mother picked up radish. Si shook her head and said she wanted to eat meat.
"Everyone, you're welcome. My family mixed the radishes for me every week. I've gotten a little angry recently." Gu Zhao said.
The son of Zhu Mason drank some, and when he heard this, he laughed and said something nasty, "It's simple, what else do you eat, just go to the fire at night." Then his wife stepped on the table and said Say something nonsense.
Before continuing, Zhu Mason first said that the water tasted different and delicious.Li Da answered the conversation, so they started talking about the deliciousness of the marinated fish, praising Li Zhouzhou's craftsmanship, and others, anyway, no one mentioned that sentence just now.
Li Zhouzhou responded to the words on the face, the roots of his ears were red.
After dinner, Li Zhouzhou and Mrs. Zhu cleaned up, and the child sat in front of the stove to warm up and eat caramel.Li Da and Mason Zhu were chatting in the room, and Mason Zhu's son and Gu Zhao accompanied him to interject occasionally.
Fertilizer.
In the end, Li Da explained the method of fertilizing the dry fields.
The days of winter were short, and Zhu Mason's family was leaving after chatting for a while. Li Zhouzhou filled a big jar of braised meat for Aunt Zhu, and Aunt Zhu accepted it after a couple of refusals.
As soon as he left Li's house, Mason Zhu slapped his son on the back of the head bitterly.
"You pig's mouth, the table is full of meat and you can't stop it."
"I forgot when I said I was happy, but I was right. Gu Shulang got angry, and he was not alone. He hugged his brother at night—"
"You still say!" Mason Zhu raised his hand and hit again.
In fact, it is common for men in the village to say nasty words at the table, but Gu Shulang of the Li family is a scholar, and he respects Li Zhouzhou very much, so it is naturally not good to say such words in front of others.
Zhu Mason's eldest son was beaten, and he didn't know why, but it was just an ordinary sentence, what's the matter?Everyone said it when he was drinking and eating with other villagers.
"In the middle of what you just said, I saw that Gu Shulang's amiable expression was different. Who in the house likes his man to vent his anger in front of outsiders?" Aunt Zhu rolled her eyes at the man, and it was not from a secret door. little whore.
Mason Zhu didn't want to interrupt this, but said: "Be careful what you say in Li's house in the future. I know you didn't keep the door open. Last year, I asked your daughter-in-law to come with me. I will learn from it in the future. Don't say anything but your brain will be bald." chatter."
"Okay, go back quickly, go back and find a place to dig a hole, collect urine and shit, don't burn the wheat stalks, keep them all."
"Father, the ground freezes when it snows, how do you dig?"
"I don't care how you dig, talk so much, do more work to vent your energy."
Li family had a good lunch, and was not particularly hungry at night. He cooked a pot of vegetable soup with cabbage and tofu balls in it, but he didn't cook it with bone soup, it was clear soup, to scrape off the oil in his stomach.
Li Da was drinking vegetable soup, but he had never dared to think about when he ate too much oil and water and would scrape it off.
Really have a good time.
After washing, I went to bed early.
The back room was very warm, Li Zhouzhou blew on the oil lamp, and in the dark untied his underwear.Gu Zhao pressed Zhou Zhou's hand and said, "I never thought of using you as a tool to get angry."
"Zhou Zhou, I respect and love you, we are one, and you are the most important person in my world." Gu Zhao kissed Zhou Zhou, explaining intentionally, "At the age when I came here, it was actually not easy to have sex often, it was easy If you don’t grow tall, you will not be good in this aspect in the future.”
But if he doesn't touch Zhou Zhou, if he doesn't do it, Zhou Zhou will feel that he dislikes him, so he doesn't touch him.
"I think we still have a long life, and the number of times was less at that time. You won't blame me, will you?"
Li Zhouzhou shook his head, thinking that my husband couldn't see, and said: "I just heard my husband say that, but I was a little bit delusional, thinking that I'm not good enough or soft enough, that my husband doesn't love—"
"But every time I do it, my husband loves to kiss and hug me. After a long time, I know that my husband hasn't lied to me or disliked me. He really nourishes his body."
Li Zhouzhou is not stupid, and after finishing speaking, his voice was softer, "Master, the last time was three or four days ago, and I didn't think you would take me—"
Gu Zhao has already kissed her.
"I'm healthy now, try it every week?"
It was a long night.The next morning, Li Zhouzhou didn't get up in a daze. Fortunately, on the [-]th, the meatballs and fruits that were supposed to be fried before were made earlier this year, and there was nothing to do. Li Zhouzhou rarely slept late. Wait for the weather outside to improve before getting up.
"Father went for a walk early in the morning, saying that the room is too hot and suffocating." Gu Zhao told his wife.
Li Zhouzhou breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise, if he made this point, Dad must know what's going on, so I'm embarrassed.
"Wear new clothes every week." Gu Zhao gave new clothes, and he changed into the blue robe himself, saying, "We two are in couple clothes, we will put them on later, I will cook for lunch and take a stroll in the afternoon."
Give yourself half a day off during the Chinese New Year.
Li Zhouzhou quickly changed into new clothes and said, "I cook, and my waist is not particularly sore now."
After eating at noon, the two held hands and wandered around the village outside in the afternoon. It might have been cold and snowy, and every household closed their doors and baked stoves in the house to keep warm. Occasionally, someone was strolling outside and saw Li Zhouzhou and Gu Shulang praised a few words.
Said that the new clothes look good, and the two of them really match each other when they walk.
Li Zhouzhou suppressed his shyness and said thank you, Auntie.
On the New Year's Eve, the night vigil is set off, and the firecrackers are set off, and the new year is here.
Peace and safety, another year old.
After that, they visited relatives and went to Gu's house in Dongping Village. This time, they went to Uncle Gu's house to see Grandma Gu, and the gift was the same as that given to Li Guihua.
Of course Mrs. Zhu was happy, and warmly greeted the two of them to sit and drink tea.
When Mrs. Zhu went to work in the kitchen, Li Zhouzhou poured hot tea outside.
Grandma Gu then said her heartfelt words to her grandson: "You are now a member of the Li family. I have lived with your uncle. Your uncle and wife have treated me well. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Don't take the gift so seriously in the future. Otherwise, Li Guihua will not look good when she sees it, and after a long time, if it is difficult for you, don’t take it, and your aunt will keep it in mind when the time comes, for fear of being compared with the past."
"You are filial, grandma remembers, but whoever's family eats whose food, you are from the Li family, and you get it from the Gu family. After a long time, the Li family doesn't love it. The one you really want to be filial to is Li Da." The old lady sighed for a long time, "At the beginning I prevented you from coming to be your son-in-law, but you insisted on it. I know you want to study and continue to take the imperial examination. It is a big expense. The Li family can pay for you. You Keep it in mind."
Gu Zhao seriously said that he kept it in his heart.
Grandma Gu nodded, and then said: "If you are successful in the future, others will say that you are a son-in-law, look down on you, deliberately shame you, and laugh at you for not being a man. You chose it yourself. Don't vent your anger on me. Li family, Zhou Zhou has it all, I see that child doesn't look good, but he's honest, it's true for you."
"Don't blame Grandma's bad-sounding words. If you can't read anything famous and have no future, don't read it. The Li family is not a wealthy family. Live a good life. If you work hard on the crops, you won't be hungry."
Gu Zhao replied earnestly: "I will write it down, grandma. If you don't expect to fail the exam, you will stop studying."
"Okay." Grandma Gu felt that her grandson has grown up, is sensible, and can take responsibility, and said lovingly, "If Li Guihua says something bad in front of you, I will use filial piety to suppress you, and Grandma will stand up for you."
Gu Si's family built a house and set up a banquet.At that time, Mrs. Gu's short jacket was in the limelight, and when Li Guihua heard how much the fabric of the short jacket cost, she suddenly bluffed, thinking that the gift that Li Zhouzhou and Gu Zhao came to get last time was nothing.
Her gift is only worth a few bucks, and the coat on the old lady's body can buy three copies.
Li Guihua wants it too, especially the embroidery on it is so pretty.
So when chatting with Mrs. Zhu, the inside and outside of the conversation reveal that although Zhao'er has married into the Li family, she is still half of the family. Although she is a stepmother, she also diligently washes and cooks for Zhao'er. It's hard work, now Zhao'er's brother can make her a jacket, isn't it too much?
Li Guihua wanted to be pressured by filial piety, but she didn't expect that there was a legitimate mother-in-law above her.
And the mother-in-law is still a couple.
Li Zhouzhou and Gu Zhaoxian went to the uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings to grandma, and they had a chat. When they were about to go back to Yue's house, grandma Gu went with them. Just as Li Guihua mentioned the word "coat", grandma Gu made a fuss about her birthday. I didn't see Li Guihua give her a few pennies. If the family was really separated, didn't she grow up with Gu Si?Lost the kindness of being a mother?
Gu Si dared to answer these words, first scolded Li Guihua for forgetting to prepare a birthday present for her mother.
In the end Li Zhouzhou was about to leave, and Li Guihua didn't dare to mention filial piety and jacket anymore.
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I went to Zhu Xiucai's house again, and took a piece of candy, three catties of meat, and cut a piece of cloth from Zhu Mason's last time, without wine.Li Zhouzhou thought about last year, there was a child in Zhu Xiucai's family, he is about two years old now, right?
It is better to take these gifts.
Zhu Xiucai's house is still the same as before, nothing has changed, the main room is small and dark.Li Zhouzhou saw that Zhu Xiucai's wife and aunt had frostbite on all ten fingers, so he took over the job and asked him to do it, but the two said that there is no reason for visiting guests to cook, so they asked Li Zhouzhou to go to the main room for a rest .
Xianggong and Zhu Xiucai talked about knowledge, but Li Zhouzhou didn't understand and didn't want to bother him, and there was no work in the kitchen, so he hugged Zhu Xiucai's son and played with him.
The child was thin and his face was a little yellow.Li Zhouzhou didn't want to ask if the child was in poor health.It's Chinese New Year, it will be bad luck to be a guest and ask this person.
It's just that when they were two years old, Yuan Yuan from Brother Xing's family raised him to be white and fat.
After leaving Zhu Xiucai's house, he went to Zhu Mason's house, and went back without eating.Afterwards, there was no need to pay New Year's greetings, and Li Zhouzhou felt that he was getting fatter after eating at home.
"Where is he fat? Zhou Zhou looks better to me." Gu Zhao said the truth.
When they got married, he was thin, and Zhou Zhou was also thin.Now that the two of them have grown flesh together, Zhou Zhou's flesh grew where it should have grown, and his buttocks are upturned and his waist is thin——
cough cough.
I still don't want to in broad daylight.
Li Zhou Zhou saw the way his grandfather looked at him, how could he not understand, and he didn't feel fat immediately.
Seeing that the Lantern Festival was over, it was over smoothly, but in the evening of No. 13, it was already dark, and it was snowing, and the door of Li's courtyard was closed early, when suddenly someone knocked on the door and shouted: "Uncle , Brother Zhou Zhou."
Fortunately, Li Da soaked his feet and came out to pour the footwashing water. He heard him, opened the door, and saw that his head, shoulders, and body were covered with snow.
"Guangzong?" Li Da heard the sound, and hurriedly hugged Li Guangzong with one arm and went to the main room.
"Zhou Zhou, take the oil lamp and call the second child."
Gu Zhao said: "Father, let me go, the road is slippery, and Zhou Zhou can help my cousin to cook hot water at home." He said and went out to Li Er's house with an oil lamp.
Li Guangzong studied accounting in the prefecture and county, and everyone in the village knew about it.I didn't expect to come back suddenly this time, still looking like this, covered in snow, just looking at it, there seems to be red marks on my face, I don't know if it was beaten or frozen.
Li's house is close to the village entrance, and Li Er's house is a little further up.It is estimated that Li Guangzong gritted his teeth and walked all the way back from the prefecture and county. He really couldn't bear it anymore, so he knocked on Li's gate and called for someone.
Li Er's family has already rested.
Gu Zhao went to knock on the door, and dawdled inside for a while, Liu Huaxiang opened the door with a temper, "Everyone is resting at night, what can't be—"
"Guangzong came back from the prefecture, and he couldn't hold on. This will be at my house." Gu Zhao interrupted.
Liu Huaxiang exploded lazily at first, "Impossible!"
But what is Gu Shulang doing with this deception.Whether Guangzong came back, wouldn't she know as soon as he went?Liu Huaxiang panicked, and shouted at the man to leave quickly, Li Er was not dressed neatly, locked the courtyard door, and hurried to Li's family.
Liu Huaxiang entered Li's family, couldn't see anything else, walked hurriedly into the main room, and saw Guangzong sitting on the stool as if he had lost half his life, his face was still red with blood marks, it was scratched by fingernails at a glance.
"Who hit you?!"
When Li Guangzong saw his parents, he couldn't hold back. He burst into tears and said, "Mother, I won't go to the prefecture or county anymore. My aunt beat me, and grandma didn't help me, and didn't give me food. I'm hungry every day and can't get enough..."
