The husband's son-in-law

After lunch, Li Zhouzhou went to clean up the kitchen, and Gu Zhao accompanied him to help.When Li Zhouzhou refused, Gu Zhao said that he needed to move after sitting and copying all morning. Li Zhouzhou heard that it made sense, then he took out the jar from the cupboard, grabbed the dried melon seeds and stuffed them into the husband's hand.

Said: "Then Xianggong will have a rest in the yard eating melon seeds."

Gu Zhao holding a handful of melon seeds: ...

In the end, he didn't go to the yard, and because of his small face, he acted like a baby and stayed in the kitchen, saying that he would definitely not help make trouble.Li Zhouzhou just nodded, but he didn't understand why Xianggong always followed him to do the work that the people in the house did.

It's not that Li Zhouzhou doesn't like to accompany his husband, but that no man in the village likes to do this.

Who knows, in Gu Zhao's eyes, cooking, washing dishes, and laundry do not distinguish between men and women.

Li Zhouzhou started to tidy up, occasionally sneaking a peek, and Xianggong stood aside obediently peeling melon seeds and peanuts, and then started working with peace of mind.He needs to be fast when he does it alone, but if his husband helps out, he will accidentally touch his hand when passing a bowl, and he will be slower to work.

Clean the pots and bowls, and reheat hot water on the pot.

When Li Zhouzhou got busy, he forgot about his husband. He went to the backyard to chop up the pig vegetables, mixed the wheat bran, waited for the water to boil, and mixed the pig food with two or three scoops of hot water. Feed the pigs.

After feeding the pigs and chickens.

Li Zhouzhou likes to be clean, and he cleans up the chicken pen and pig pen diligently, even in summer, the smell is small.Now that the weather is cold, the chickens nest together, and the eggs are not laid as much as before. Four chickens and one pork were killed on the wedding day, and now the pigsty is the little piglet who has just been brought back.

Li's family is small, and when the farming season is busy, they have to work in the fields, so Li Zhouzhou didn't dare to raise too many.I usually hold a dozen or so chickens, and about nine or ten of them survived. I saved up a basket of eggs and sold them in the town. When the farming season was busy, I would kill the chickens to replenish my father's body.

Li Zhouzhou used to raise more pigs in August. After two or three months of raising, the piglets got a little stronger. The weather is cold, so it is also suitable for father pigs. The pigs that have been pigs grow fast and the meat is not fishy.It will be more than October in the next year, and the fat and strong ones will be killed, some will be sold, and some will be kept for home use.

Li's family is able to live well in the village, becoming one of the best, and Li Zhouzhou's life is also indispensable, and everything goes smoothly.

I picked up the pig manure and chicken excrement again, and the pig feeding bucket had to be washed, otherwise the weather would be cold, and the pig food left in it would turn into slag, which smelled bad and hard to clean.After brushing, the water is poured directly into the pig sink.

By the way, I haven't finished washing my clothes in the morning.

Thinking about this, Li Zhouzhou went to the front yard, feeling as if he had forgotten something. When he entered the kitchen, he saw that the pot was still boiling with hot water, and his husband sat obediently on a small stool to add firewood. When he saw him, he was white and clean. With a smile on his face, he said: "I boiled some hot water, Zhou Zhou, you wash your hands, the melon seeds and peanuts are peeled, I will wait for you to come back and eat together."

It was only then that Li Zhouzhou remembered what he had just forgotten, the husband in the kitchen.

He saw that the rough porcelain bowl on the chopping board, the shelled melon seeds and peanut kernels on the bottom of the bowl were all peeled by the grandpa, and they were waiting for him without eating.

Li Zhouzhou's eyes were hot and his throat was dry, and he wanted to say no, it's fine, he doesn't eat or like it, and he doesn't need to peel it, but these words are all lies.That's because he knew that even if he said he wanted to eat, Grandma wouldn't give it to him, so he said that.

"Zhou Zhou, I'll fetch water. You wash your hands first. I boiled a lot of hot water. Let's make some fruit tea. I found that there are still preserved fruits. It should be similar to soaking water with this... right?"

The little Xianggong's eyes were bright, and he couldn't understand what he said, but he could hear him in all the words.

Li Zhouzhou used to be an outsider, even in front of his father, his arrogance and toughness have softened.

"okay."

Gu Zhaodui prepared hot water, and farmers used acacia to wash their faces, bodies, and clothes. It was pure natural and pollution-free. He prepared it for his wife, and happily extinguished the fire in the stove. The water was scalded first, then thrown into the large teapot, and the rest of the boiling water was poured in.

When I arrived at the main room with the teapot and nut bowl, I didn't forget to say to my wife who was washing her hands on the stone mill in the yard, "Zhou Zhou, I'll wait for you."

The choice of words is really cute.

Gu Zhao thought of when he was in college, there was a rich and cold guy in their dormitory, who ignored everyone at the beginning of school, and only responded with a word of "um", and later fell in love, and made video calls in the dormitory, that's called Nasty and disgusting.

What's so good, cute, baby pig, why don't you call me baby.

Gu Zhao didn't understand it at the time, but now he understands it.

What I don't understand is that they are single and have no wives.

After Li Zhouzhou washed his hands and poured water, he entered the main room and saw Xianggong smiling happily at him, waving and eagerly holding his hand.The temperature of the hands that have just been washed with hot water has risen again.

"Come and taste it, give it to Zhou Zhou first." Gu Zhao poured hot tea and handed it over, "How is it?"

Under the beautiful eyes of the young man, Li Zhouzhou didn't taste anything at all, his mind was muddled, and he said, "I, I'll drink again."

"Pair with some nuts." Gu Zhao fed nuts to his wife.

When his father was not at home, Gu Zhao and his wife sat on the same stool, next to each other.

Li Zhouzhou was not used to it, it wasn't that he didn't like Xianggong being next to him, on the contrary, he liked it very much, but he never thought that Xianggong would like to cling to him like this.From childhood to adulthood, boys of the same age in the village wished to be far away from him, fearing that they would not be able to get rid of him if they had some relationship with him. It seemed that if he looked like him, he would have to catch up with him if he couldn't get married.

I never thought that there would be a man who wanted to hug him sincerely.

"Have a good rest. Is your arm sore? I'll squeeze it for Zhou Zhou." Gu Zhao stretched out his hand for his wife to squeeze.

Zhou Zhou said that his whole body is hard, but it is not true. When a man's chest muscles are not deliberately concave, they are soft, including the abdominal muscles.In broad daylight, Gu Zhao's massage is still very pure, and he really just wants to relieve his wife's fatigue.

"Zhou Zhou, drink water to moisten your throat."

Li Zhouzhou held the tea bowl and took a sip. This time, he tasted the taste. It smelled of apricots, and it was a little sweet. The sweetness seemed to flow into his heart. The tea bowl wall said seriously: "It's delicious."

"Then let's soak it again tomorrow. I think there are still some in the jar."

"it is good."

This afternoon, the sun was shining brightly outside, and the couple was drinking tea and eating nuts in the main room. The time for a pot of tea was unhurried, but Li Zhouzhou had never felt this way, he couldn't say, I just feel very comfortable and very good.

After drinking the fruit tea, Li Zhouzhou went to do the laundry, full of energy.Gu Zhao continued to read books, but he was also full of energy. His original background was not very good. Gu's family was a farmer, and he couldn't find any famous teacher resources and a large number of real questions.

Gu Zhao didn't dare to take it too seriously, he still had a lot to learn.

The books left by the original body should be organized and summarized according to their own learning methods, and the words should also be practiced...

Shili Village.

Early in the morning, Li Da finished the pigs of the two families. There were five pigs in total, and each pig was charged five Wen. In the morning, he earned 25 Wen.For lunch, I brought cakes, ate them with hot water and salted vegetables from Jie Zhu's house, and went to Zhu Laosi's house for a rest.

Pig slaughter in the afternoon.

Butchering pigs is also a handicraft, which requires a lot of strength and quick techniques. Where the pigs bleed less and die quickly, where there is no need to exert great effort, they can be directly separated from the flesh and bones. A whole pig will be unloaded in a short time. is each.

Li Da is good at craftsmanship, and several nearby villages are famous. The Chinese New Year is the busiest. Every household wants to butcher pigs. Please come over to Li Da. You will pay [-] Wen for killing a pig, and you have to pay the pig killer for the pig. After all, there is not much money. .

The money is small, but he can't bear to kill a lot. During the Chinese New Year, Li Da can save half of the money.

One thousand Wen is a consistent, and a consistent is one tael of silver.

From the branch family, we got a five-acre paddy field and a small base, and the mud house was built with borrowed money.Li Da's hands were tight and he had no expenses. He sewed and mended his clothes for three years and three years, so the villagers didn't realize Li Da's background at first, until Li Da built a yard and built three green brick houses.

The people in the village suddenly discovered that Li Da had saved a lot over the years.

"Okay, okay, I'm free." Fourth Zhu poured wine for Li Da, and said, "Drink, you don't have to ask for the money for the wine."

The dirty wine in the town costs sixteen cents a pot.

Li Da didn't eat Zhu Laosi's wine in vain, and said: "You have a share of the pig's offal in the afternoon."

"That's a good thing, your family recruited a son-in-law Zhou Zhou, so your burden is relieved." Zhu Laosi joked that Li Da never touched alcohol before, and he would not buy a bowl of wine for four cents.

Li Da held the bowl, took a sip of wine and did not speak.But Zhu Laosi saw that he was satisfied with his new brother-in-law, so he said a few words along the way, and Li Da said, "Looking at the flowery shelf, Zhou Zhou likes it, but I am not satisfied, too thin, and I can't get off the ground." work."

Isn't this just a dislike on the lips, but a flushed satisfaction on the face.

Zhu Laosi held a wine bowl and nodded to Li Da from the air, "I heard that he is a student, and it will be enough to practice in the field. Didn't you say you want to buy a cow? The old Zhutou at the east end of the village just gave birth to a cow." , although it’s too small to work now, it’s cheap.”

People can't do it because they are thin, but they can be supported by animals.

Now that Li Da's house has been built, my brother has recruited a son-in-law, and there are no other big expenses. I bought a cow, and the future is not good?

Who knew that Li Da shook his head and said: "Let's talk about buying cattle. I still have the strength to do it now. Mr. Zhou Zhou is weak and can't do crop work, so he should go to study."

Fourth Zhu's eyes widened when he heard that, "Are you asking your son-in-law to study?!"

Scholars spend money, and Zhu Laosi is reluctant to send his own son to study and read. If someone tells him that his son-in-law will study, Zhu Laosi will have to scratch his ears.

Li Da didn't speak.

"Then you still have a foundation." Zhu Laosi was speechless.

What Li Da did was hard work, he was a farmer, and the money was saved and saved. He spent a sum of money on the new courtyard house, a gift of 18 taels for the Gu family, and Chuichuida bought clothes and furniture for Zhou Zhou. , another scattered sum.

Now the Li family's money jar has a bottom left, maybe a dozen or so.

"There are not many left. Finish your wine today, and I won't drink it in the future." Li Da slowly took another sip of wine.

Zhu Laosi knew that Li Da was a man who spit and nailed him, so he was telling the truth. After thinking about it, the Li family might not have much money, so why should he still pay for his son-in-law to study?Looking at Li Da eating wine, the creases on his face stretched out.

"If you don't offer to study, then this wine will not be eaten casually in the future." Zhu Laosi didn't understand.

"Zhou Zhou's father left early. I'm sorry for his father and him. In this life, I hope that Zhou Zhou will be good. If he is well, what's the tiredness of being a father? Besides, it doesn't count if I'm used to the crops. tired."

In fact, Li Da also had some plans. He didn't say that because Zhou Zhouzhen gave Gu Zhao all his wealth, he thought about trying to take the exam for a few years, and if it didn't work out, Gu Zhao naturally stopped thinking.

My brother, Li Da didn’t say anything, but he knew in his heart that Zhou Zhou’s appearance was not good, and his brother’s mole was light. Gu Zhaocai came in. He looked honest and treated Zhou Zhou well. Gu Zhao is tightly bound by kindness.

To judge others by himself, Li Da is a person who remembers kindness, whoever borrowed his money to build a mud house when he was in trouble, and whoever helped him when he robbed him, Li Da remembered and repaid them all.

So Li Da thought that if he did this, Gu Zhao would be grateful and it would be better for Li Zhouzhou, but he didn't know that some people are born with bad bones and are white-eyed wolves.If Gu Zhaochuan hadn't come here, and it wasn't the original skin, according to Gu Zhao's original thinking, he only felt that this was a humiliation for him, a day for him to recklessly suffer.

If you are developed, you can't wait to burn away the shame of the past with a torch.

Zhu Laosi knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he couldn't help but think of the joke about Brother Li's son-in-law. He said that a new scholar was selected last year in his village, and now he happens to be at home and hasn't gone to the prefecture to study.

In fact, Zhu Laosi wanted the village scholar to persuade Li Da well.

Your brother-in-law is really not material for studying, so don't waste money in vain.

Xiping Village.

Before the sun set, Li Zhouzhou had dinner ready. He ate rice with sweet potatoes and mixed grains, scrambled eggs with cabbage and radishes.

"The rice is sweet and delicious." Gu Zhao took the chopsticks and put the egg in his wife's bowl.

Li Zhouzhou scrambled eggs to nourish his husband's body. He just picked up radishes and cabbage and ate them without touching the eggs. Now the bowl is full of eggs.

"Eat it every week, and I will eat it."

The little Xianggong held the bowl and showed a pair of cute eyes.

Li Zhouzhou's heart was as sweet as sweet potato rice, but he said, "Master, don't pinch it for me, I don't like eggs."

"Then I don't like to eat it either." Gu Zhao took the cabbage with his chopsticks.

Li Zhouzhou had nothing to do with the little Xianggong, he knew that Xianggong was trying to coax him to eat eggs.

"I, I eat, and my husband also eats."

An egg is not much at all, and it is delicious for the couple to share it.After eating and taking advantage of the daylight, Li Zhouzhou washed the pot, washed the dishes and boiled water to wash up. Li Zhouzhou fastened the courtyard door, locked the stove room, and the couple lay on the kang.

Feeling in the dark, Li Zhouzhou untied the belt of his coat, resisted his embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Master, are your hands cold?"

"A little bit." Gu Zhao handed over his hand, and then his wife took his hand down——

Gu Zhao: ...

cough cough.It's really not that he doesn't want to do this kind of thing, but that he does it once a day, and now he is a little powerless.

"Zhou Zhou." Gu Zhao moved his hand to his wife's waist, hugged her, and leaned forward to cling to each other. It was inevitable that the skin would stick to each other when the underwear was opened, and the temperature from each other's bodies was transmitted, which was very warm.Gu Zhao said very seriously: "Although I am younger and I also come to marry, I am still your husband-in-law, right?"

Li Zhouzhou hummed, not knowing what Xianggong wanted to say.

"The two of us have become relatives and married, and I will be your husband-in-law for the rest of your life. A husband-in-law should be nice to his wife." Gu Zhao actually noticed it a long time ago. For some trivial things, he didn't think it was 'good' to Zhou Zhou, but Zhou Zhou will be better for him.

Even if I wrong myself.

In Zhou Zhou's concept, to treat him well and repay him is to feed him eggs and not let him work.On the bed, I also want to use my body to please him.

"Xianggong." Li Zhouzhou whispered, did he do something wrong?

Gu Zhao could hear the bewilderment in Zhou Zhou's voice, and if he couldn't change it overnight, he would treat Zhou Zhou better and become the norm. Now he leaned over and whispered to his wife, "Zhou Zhou, I'm young, so I can't ask for more. ..."

Li Zhouzhou listened, his ears turned red with embarrassment.

But I was also relieved, it turned out that it wasn't that my husband didn't like his body.

"...It's been four days in a row, Zhou Zhou, don't you feel bad?"

Li Zhouzhou blushed all over, and his body temperature rose even under the quilt, but Xianggong asked, but he still said honestly: "I felt a little uncomfortable on the first night, and it was a bit big when I first went in, but fortunately, it got better soon."

Fortunately, soon.

Gu Zhao: ...It was normal the first time, right?

From another angle, it's big anyway.

He is 16 years old now, and he will be better if he is raised again.

Ok.
