The husband's son-in-law

In the winter of Kangjing's 54th year.

When Li's family returned to the village for the Spring Festival, they still took Xiaotian along the way.

I haven't seen him for a year, and Oda's size has changed again. Li Da didn't recognize him at first glance, and his voice has changed, and he speaks like a male duck, so Oda doesn't talk much.

"Uncle Li, brother Zhou Zhou, hello Mr. Gu." Oda greeted with a bow.

Li Da said: "This child is too polite, be polite, come up quickly."

"Xiaotian should be fifteen after the Chinese New Year, right?"

"Yes, I am a month old. If I say that I can count as the sixteenth year."

Li Da: "If you're sixteen, it's time for your father to touch your daughter-in-law for you."

"I'm not in a hurry. I'm still learning my skills. I haven't saved any money at home, and I haven't built a house. I don't have to wait any longer." Although Oda pretended to be a big man when he said these words, there was still a shyness on his face. .

Li Da laughed and said that there is no rush, you brother Zhou Zhou got married too late, so there is no rush.

"Yes, Master also said that there is no fear of being late for a good meal." Master Oda seemed to say.

On the car board, Gu Zhao went to hold Zhou Zhou's hand, and secretly scratched his wife's palm with his finger.Li Zhouzhou was a little worried at first, so he stretched his smile, knowing that his husband was worried about him, so he teased him.

Years go up year by year, Gu Zhao was 19 years old and passed the examination as a scholar, and now it is the fifth year in four years, he is 23 according to his real age, and Zhou Zhou is 26, but here are all calculated according to his imaginary age.

He married Zhou Zhou when he was sixteen, and he was 17 years old in a few months.

Gu Zhao was never in a hurry when it came to children. In modern times, he was an orphan and liked boys. He had planned a life of one person and one dog, but never thought about having children.Now in Dali, having a lover, being able to get married and get a certificate, is a dream of living as an upright doctor.

The matter of the child is really random, if you don't have it, you don't have it, he is his baby Zhou Zhou.

This year's Chinese New Year is the same as in previous years, visiting relatives and friends, eating and drinking.Because Gu Zhao has been in the government school for four years and almost five years, and he hasn't gained any fame, and he didn't take a test. The villagers are now accustomed to Gu Xiucai's title of scholar, and they don't value Jingui so much.

It's because the Li family came back in the past two years, and every time they received generous gifts, I heard that Li Zhouzhou and his father were doing food and business in the prefecture and county. How to ask, inquire, and be curious.

Come back with such a heavy gift, Zhou Zhou, you made a lot of money doing business in the prefecture and county, right?

Li Zhouzhou smiled and said that this is not the Chinese New Year. He comes back once a year. It is lively and lively, and the income is not bad. It is enough for the husband to study and spend.

Just don't reveal it at all.

As soon as the big guys heard it, they changed the topic. Of course, Li Zhouzhou's stomach didn't move when he was talking, and he said that her natal family was so-and-so, and which relatives were also, and it would be nice to have a secret recipe later. She listened to it, what a toad Dry grind it into powder and drink it with pot stove old mud.

Li Zhouzhou: ...

"Believe it or not, this distant relative of my family is also a brother. Later, he came after drinking two drinks, became pregnant, and gave birth to a fat son in the first child." Tian and Li Zhouzhou strongly recommended it.

After they left, Gu Zhao pinched his wife's fleshy cheeks and said coquettishly, "My wife, you don't dare to drink any toads. I'm afraid of this. Why don't you call me a good brother and let me tell you a secret recipe."

"Did you hear that, Mr. Xiang? I also feel disgusted and can't drink it." Li Zhouzhou frowned, and then asked Mr. Xiang what the secret recipe was.

Gu Zhao raised his eyebrows, Li Zhouzhou understood in seconds, and called out his good brother with embarrassment.

Then the two of them rolled up the kang in broad daylight.

Brother Xing came by accident, so he took Yuan Yuan and called Zhou Zhou outside.The two people on the kang could only calm down, but fortunately they hadn't taken off their clothes yet, Li Zhouzhou blushed, pulled his clothes flat, smoothed his hair, shouted in the room, his heart was still pounding, it would be better if the cold wind blew outside up.

Yuan Yuan is six years old, wearing a new suit and hat.

"Last year you gave me cloth, and I made him a body. Fortunately, it was a little bigger. This year, I can wear it for a year. I don't think it will be next year. It really grows when the wind blows, and I can't wear good clothes." Xing Geer said .

Yuan Yuan's name is Uncle, and he hides shyly behind his father's back.

Now Li Zhouzhou likes children when he sees them, and Yuan Yuan no longer hides them when he brings out the snack box from home.

Brother Xing said: "He's getting softer now."

The soft-spoken boys in the village are always vulnerable to bullying and exclusion.

"Whether it's naughty or well-behaved, they all have different temperaments. I didn't say which one is more promising, as long as the child is safe and healthy." Li Zhouzhou saw Yuan Yuan's popularity, and then handed it over. Yuan Yuan still had a piece in his hand, so he went Look at Dad.

Brother Xing said: "Eat, you are welcome in your uncle's house."

Yuan Yuan just took one piece.

"I just took Yuan Yuan to my mother's place. My mother took some snacks as a treat, and there were only a few yuan left. After Yuan Yuan ate, my younger brother was crying. My mother, you know, said something unpleasant when coaxing her son. "Brother Xing was half-dead with anger, "I can't be more angry. When my mother said Yuan Yuan, I was actually dissatisfied with my mother and told my mother."

But Yuan Yuan's children didn't understand, they didn't know that adults were criticizing Sang and scolding Huai, and they thought Dad was talking about themselves, so they didn't dare to eat dim sum casually afterwards.

Li Zhouzhou said, why is it getting dark, Brother Xing came to look for him, his eyes were still red, he probably wiped his tears secretly when he came.

"You know your mother's temper."

Li Zhouzhou said something first, and saw Yuan Yuan sitting there listening, and the children were a little bit, and it was not easy for the children to hear what the adults said, so he said, "Yuan Yuan, you go to the back room to play with your uncle." Then he called the husband.

Gu Zhao had already cleaned up the back room. He greeted his cousin first when he came out, and squatted down to play with Yuan Yuan, "Your name is Yuan Yuan? We met last year, do you remember?"

Yuan Yuan nodded and shook his head, Gu Zhao laughed, stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go to the back room to play, let your father and uncle talk, let's talk."

Brother Xing still wanted to say that his son was born, but when he saw Yuan Yuan put his hand up, he really went in with Gu Zhao.

"When I was young, I didn't recognize my life, lively and clever, but now I'm older, it's not as good as when I was a child, let a two-year-old baby bully you, you didn't see wearing a hat, let Li Jianan grab everything."

"You are just like your mother. When you lose your temper, you don't pay attention to what you say. Everyone says that you love Yuanyuan the most." Li Zhouzhou said first.Brother Xing is not really disgusted by being wronged for his son.

Brother Xing naturally loves his son, he is just such a child, he couldn't help sighing, and muttered: "Anyway, I don't want to go to her door next year, it happens every time, and now life is not like before. Yell at me, it's driving me crazy."

"You are doing well now. You are doing business outside to make money. Your waist is straight. Uncle loves you too. He doesn't say anything. Gu Xiucai is still kind and friendly. Unlike me, my mother-in-law thinks that I only gave birth to Yuan Yuan. From time to time They are going to urge me to have another one, saying that my sister-in-law has given birth to three, and she is pregnant again, saying that I have been in the door for so long and only one Yuan Yuan, thinking that I don't want to, and I have nothing to do if my brother is not good at giving birth or getting pregnant. "

Brother Xing was full of grievances and dissatisfaction, and he said it all out, which can be regarded as a good vomit.Li Zhouzhou added firewood and didn't open his mouth. When Brother Xing finished speaking, he was still the same as before, saying: "This is how life is. I sometimes get angry when I do business outside."

"Two brothers of the Wang family, your mother-in-law holds the power. Either the big house suppresses you or you don't have the big house. When your mother-in-law was with you, your sister-in-law probably felt uncomfortable. Now that your family relies on crops for food, the two The man in the first room is digging food, your sister-in-law has more children, the first room has more fields, and the work is more manpower than the second room. I guess I don’t like it in my heart. It’s normal for your mother-in-law to favor some older rooms. You have to coax the older room. .”

Brother Xing actually knew it all, "Why don't you favor me."

"I grew up with you, how can I not be partial, but I am partial to you and coax you to talk and fool you. Isn't your life just as sad? What's the use?" Li Zhouzhou looked over.

Brother Xing was frightened by the sight, and didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"You know in your heart that it's okay. Now you have to be one with Wang Shitou. Your sister-in-law's family contributes a lot of land and has many children. If you make troubles out of emotion and reason, it's your fault. Endure it now. If you don't have many In [-], your sister-in-law, eldest son and daughter are going to get married, and if they split up, it will be done."

"I still have to endure it for so many years." Brother Xing muttered.

Li Zhouzhou: "Your second room is now mentioning the separation. Yuanyuan is six years old. How much can the three of you do and how much can you earn? Now that you are together, you have taken advantage, so your mother-in-law is partial to the elder sister-in-law. It is you Zhanzhanli, you should be sweeter, work harder, and follow your sister-in-law in many ways."

"I have a friend in the prefecture county. He is also a brother. He has a sharp mouth that can tear hair and scold battles. But one thing is that he can see the direction of the wind. He can bear the temper of a firecracker."

"He knows when he can scold and tear things up, even if he is unreasonable, but some trivial matters, he used to be cowardly, can take the opportunity to pick them out and spread the flames. But if he makes up his mind, but the other party and the situation are more serious If we are strong, we will bear it."

"Ah? I have to bear it all, what a coward."

"By enduring that time, we earned 30 taels of silver."

Xing Geer:! ! !

30 taels of silver for something?

"I went to the noble man's mansion to deliver lo mei. I worked all night and didn't sleep. When we were docking, my father went first. He didn't like it. He asked the master to come. Xiaoshu and I went there, picking and choosing." It was mean..."

The two of them worked all night, and they did a lot that time, and the weather was so hot, it was really a waste of time. Maybe they couldn't sell it all that day and left and wasted some.Xiaoshu said that he would accept this banquet, and it must be done.

At the beginning, I contacted the housekeeper of the main wife of the mansion, but the westerly wind in the mansion overwhelmed the east wind, and the favored concubine got a man in one fell swoop, because this family used to be girls, and the main wife was unwell for some reason, so the housekeeper Quan was replaced. .

As long as you are not an official, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the common people's homes are not high-ranking, it is nothing unusual to spoil a concubine over the head of the regular wife, and the mention of the flat wife is just a happy word in the mouths of the common people.

"Later, making things difficult was just making things difficult, and even three taels of silver were deducted."

Brother Xing was shocked for 30 taels at first, but now he was attracted by the internal affairs of the wealthy businessman's mansion, and asked: "Then the main wife was killed by the concubine, right?"

"I don't know about that. I only know that during the Chinese New Year this year, the wealthy businessman's old mother came back from his ancestral home. Xiaoshu specially sent us a store of lo mei, and his family's husband painted Shoutaogong."

In the past, there was no gift, but this is not a banquet, Xiao Shufan has to give gifts before the Chinese New Year.Xianggong called this to win over VIP customers closely.Li Zhouzhou asked what VIP meant.

It is high-paying users.That's true, this year I made 200 taels of silver just by holding banquets.So Li Zhouzhou gave Xiaoshu 20 taels of red envelopes this year, thanks to Xiaoshu's running around.

"This family has been mean to you, why are you still giving me something?"

"I went back to the village to buy new year's goods, and Xiaoshu heard that the housekeeper was kicked out for making things difficult for us earlier." Li Zhouzhou said: "Xiaoshu specially dragged me to block people, and he yelled at him to relieve his anger. "

You said that the pressure has been increasing for almost half a year. From the perspective of onlookers, Xiaoshu yelled at the poor housekeeper who was carrying a bag. It was wrong to designate Xiaoshu, but Xiaoshu didn't care, saying that he was happy now. People complained about them in a strange way, but now he scolded them back and didn't do anything. It's clear.

"I'm telling you this because you don't need to argue about it for a while. Besides, it's just friction in life. Your family has taken advantage of the big house. Logically, your sister-in-law is still wronged and dissatisfied, so let it go."

"Or do you want to separate the family, and you will also go to the fields to work and plan the crops in the future?"

Brother Xing is not willing to work in the field, it is too tiring and hard work.

"One Yuan Yuan is one Yuan Yuan, you can take care of it and manage it." Li Zhouzhou saw that it was dark, and heard a sound at the gate of the yard.

Brother Xing stood up first and said, "Wang Shishisheng."

Wang Shishi came to pick him up.The couple stood up in the morning, but it was still because of the injustice of the mother-in-law. Brother Xing complained, Wang Shitou said twice, and Brother Xing took Yuan Yuan to visit relatives with his mother.

Then there was a quarrel and he came to Li's house.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Wang Shitou was worried that Brother Xing and his son went to look for him, only to realize that Brother Xing had left early. After thinking about it, he came to Li's house for a visit, probably in this area.

Gu Zhao also came out with Yuan Yuan in his hand and greeted him. Wang Shitou hugged his son, saw a small piece of paper in his hand, and asked what it was. Yuan Yuan said, "Uncle taught me to write Yuan Yuan."

Fortunately, the meta characters are simple.

Gu Zhao holds Yuan Yuan's hand to teach, which also looks like a caterpillar.

Wang Shitou praised his son for writing well, and it was because his father had a good filter, he hugged his son and waited outside.Gu Zhao went over to talk together.Brother Xing and Li Zhouzhou took a step back, Brother Xing said: "Zhou Zhou, you have changed so much now, I have to think about what people say."

"It's all outsiders' business. You can live your own life after closing the door." Li Zhouzhou looked at his cousin, Xingge was still the same as before, not much changed, a little cute, and his temper was still the same, which shows that Wang Shitou There is no big change for Xing Geer.

"I envy you too."

Brother Xing realized that Zhou Zhou had no children, so he couldn't help saying: "Don't worry, don't worry, maybe you will have it in the next year. You hug my family Yuanyuan. As the old saying goes, children can bring children luck." Said: "Yuan Yuan, give uncle a kiss."

"..." Gu Zhaoren went back.Six-year-olds are not jealous.

Yuan Yuan kissed Uncle Uncle on the cheek and smiled shyly.The family of three went back in the dark, and Xing Geer's voice could still be heard scolding Wang Shitou coquettishly: "I didn't say anything, but I was a little angry, you didn't coax me, and you said I..."

"I was wrong, I was wrong, don't twist your arm and it hurts."

In the courtyard, Gu Zhao went to hold Zhou Zhou’s hand. He was in the back room just now. He listened to what Zhou Zhou said to Brother Xing. He knew that it was not easy for Zhou Zhou to do business. Every time he asked him before, he said yes, nothing happened. , Everything is going well, never tell him with a face.

Gu Zhao caressed Zhou Zhou's hand, which used to be used to farm cocoons, but now it is used to make braised meat.

"Sister?" Li Zhouzhou felt a little itchy but didn't shrink back.

Gu Zhao: "Over the years, Zhou Zhou has worked hard for you."

"Have you heard that, my husband? Actually, it's nothing. I used to work in the village and listen to the villagers gossiping behind their backs. It's the same wherever I go. Life is better now than before. I really don't suffer."

Gu Zhao said a thousand words, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Words are too light.

Opened the year, Kang Jing 55 years.

This year's autumn exam.Not to mention that Gu Zhao, Zheng Hui, and Yan Jinxin had to give it a try, even Zhu Li and Zhu Xiucai didn't delay. They didn't take the exam last time because they were nervous at home, so they couldn't do it again this time.

Li Zhouzhou and Xiaoshu had made preparations to put their business aside this year. When they returned to the shop after opening the new year, the two discussed it. The main reason was that Li Zhouzhou said that Xiaoshu didn't know what to prepare for the exam. Men, men will not let him go, saying that the journey is tiring and hard work.

Li Zhouzhou had heard what Zhu Xiucai said before, and he kept it in his heart. After he said it, Xiaoshu immediately said that he must go, brother Zhou Zhou, if you go, I will go too. We can be a companion when we come. For the exam, the two of us will take care of the rear, just like fighting in a drama, we are in charge of food and grass.

The two of them made a plan, Li Zhouzhou's itinerary was drawn up, and he set off to close the shop at the end of September, and went there early to rent a yard and two mule carts, so my father would not go to our house to look after the house.

Li Da also meant the same thing. His family’s money in the past few years was originally hidden under the bricks under the bed, but later it became more and more, and he had no choice but to exchange it for bank notes. Dirty and stained.

But there are seven or eighty taels left under the bed, and the daily expenses are spent on meat money.

And once the business was delayed for two or three months, Li Da felt it was a pity, so he said that he came to Zhang Luo's shop, so don't close it, and in the future it will be enough to make two pots a day, otherwise it will affect the business.

Everything is planned, but the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

Li Zhouzhou is pregnant and happy.

My brother is not like a woman. I stopped Guishui when I was pregnant, but my brother didn't have this.In the early stages of pregnancy, there may be backache, nausea, and discomfort, but Li Zhouzhou has always been in good health, and there are no other symptoms except a little lethargy.

When the fetus is firmly seated, the nevus will appear brighter.

It was still in the middle of June, Mrs. Zhou came to Li's house to chat with Li Zhouzhou, and said inadvertently: "Zhou Zhou, the mole between your eyebrows is getting more and more conspicuous. I still remember that when you first arrived, I didn't recognize you." It's a brother."

Because I can't see where Li Zhou Zhou's nevus grows.

Geer moles are red and red, usually on the face, between the eyebrows, around the corners of the eyes, around the nose, and mouth. There are also moles on the inner wrists and forearms, but these are rare, and most of them are more on the face.

Like a small tree, the brother's mole is not obvious. It grows on the top of the eyelid. He still has double eyelids. He can't see anything when he opens his eyes. He can only see it when he droops his eyes or falls asleep.

Under the environment of the day after tomorrow, if you get suntanned from busy work, it will not be obvious.

Li Zhouzhou didn't take it to heart when he heard this. One or two years earlier, his mole on the center of his eyebrows had been revealed a little, and his husband always kissed him here, saying that he looked good, like a Bodhisattva.

How dare he be like a bodhisattva, he is a brother.But my husband likes it, so he shut it up in the room and said so.

Mrs. Zhou has no experience, so she's pretty pretty after all.A few days later, Aunt Xu came to buy stewed boiled food and said, "Zhou Zhou, have you been feeling unwell recently? I saw your moles showing up, maybe you are pregnant?"

what? !

Li Zhouzhou couldn't even hold the spoon steadily.

Li Da was also stunned, it was Xiaoshu who reacted and arranged, "Brother Zhou Zhou, you and Uncle Li go to see the doctor first, this is a big deal, I will support the shop for a while, just to do some work."

"Success, success." Li Zhouzhou was so busy that his heart was beating violently.

The diners who came to buy stewed stew heard that Li Fulang was probably pregnant, of course they politely said it was okay, they wait, this is a happy event, first go to see how the doctor is doing.

Liu Shu took over the business, and Li Da went to set up the car. Li Zhouzhou said no, dad, just walk over.

"It's okay, okay, don't be tired." Li Da said that he had to set up the car, but regretted it. In the morning, Zhou Zhou sat there bent over and washed a pot of water.

Shouldn't.

I found the clinic and found that I was indeed pregnant, almost three months.

Counting the days, I was pregnant within a month after returning from the Chinese New Year, which was in March.Li Zhouzhou was still a little confused when he came back, he couldn't believe it, he really had a child?

Willow sold out all the things, cleaned up the pots, and didn't care about the self-service tea in the shop. First, she came to care about Brother Zhou Zhou. When she knew she was really pregnant, she was happy for Brother Zhou Zhou. She laughed and dimpled, and said auspicious words to Uncle Li.

Li Da is happy, he is a big man and a rough man, how can he understand these rules, thinking back to Zhou's gift of red eggs before, is it true that his family will also give it?

"Uncle, there is no rush for the eggs. They will be delivered after brother Zhou Zhou is born." Liu Shu knows the rules, and he likes to hear them. It was Grandma who told them at home.

Li Da: "Yes, do you want to eat and drink better? Zhou Zhou, sit on the bed and don't move, talk to Xiaoshu."

"Father, what about the business in the afternoon?"

"Hey Brother Zhou Zhou, don't worry about this, I'm here." Willow patted his chest, "You can rest assured to take care of the baby in your belly, and leave the shop to me."

Li Zhouzhou rubbed his stomach, but it was still flat, he couldn't feel anything, and he couldn't help but smile.

The shop business Liushu took over, Li Zhouzhou was very relieved, buying meat was done by his father, and the business was done by Xiaoshu, and he also gave ten taels of scheduling money, so that Xiaoshu was too busy to hire people, so don't carry the burden by yourself up.

When Gu Zhao came back from school, everyone in the family was beaming, the wrinkles on Dad Smile's face were deep, and his family Zhou Zhou was sitting in the room, it didn't look like he was feeling unwell, otherwise why did Dad Smile be so happy?

But at this point in the past, Zhou Zhou was either in the stove or cooking vegetables in the yard.

Gu Zhao thought of something, his eyes widened, and he walked over quickly, holding Zhou Zhou's hands, "Really? Zhou Zhou, do we have a baby yet?"

"Sir, have you guessed it? I haven't said it yet."

"Okay, I didn't guess it, let me tell you Zhou Zhou."

Li Zhouzhou smiled, brows and eyes were happy and peaceful, and said: "Yes, I was pregnant at the end of March, almost three months."

Gu Zhao was in a daze, so, was he really pregnant?

He went to see his wife's belly, it was still smooth.

The two looked at each other with silly joy.

This happy atmosphere lasted for almost a month. Gu Zhao kissed his wife every day when he came back from school. When he went to kiss his wife in the morning, he watched Zhou Zhou's belly grow a little bit.

All the business in the shop was handed over to Willow.

This year, Li Ji didn’t accept the banquet list, so he immediately saved a lot of money. Liu Shu hired a small worker to do the work together. But I will teach you hand in hand.

I taught it a few times, but I still made mistakes, or I just made trouble on purpose, if I didn’t take it to heart, Willow would tell me to get out, if I had to deduct money, I would deduct money, if I had to say it, I wouldn’t be soft, no matter who relatives you are in the alley , deny it at all.

"I don't care what they say about me, if you have the ability to say it in front of me, tear off your hair!" Willow is a tiger outside, and when he comes to Brother Zhou Zhou, he will be obedient, "Don't worry, the shop business It won’t ruin your reputation.”

Stealing rape and playing slippery, washing it less, or saving leftovers from spoiling the ground, making things that affect the taste, of course it will not work.

"I opened this shop. If you dismiss people in the future, just say it was my idea. Don't take it on yourself." Li Zhouzhou's expression changed when he heard someone say that Xiaoshu was his dog's leg, and he said that Xiaoshu was his younger brother. He asked to come and lend a hand.

When he came to Willow, Li Zhouzhou said, "I've been thinking that you treat the shop as yourself, and you don't hesitate to offend others. Now that I'm pregnant and have a baby, I might be too busy with business—"

"Brother, are you going to close the door?" Liu Shu was anxious.

"No, the shop will require you to worry more in the future. I think you will get [-]% of the shop." Li Zhouzhou has learned a lot from Xianggong, "My family pays for the marinated cooking technology, get [-]%, and you get [-]% as the boss..."

Liu Shu felt that he was taking advantage of Brother Zhou Zhou, so he didn’t want to say anything. His salary was high, and he paid him 20 taels of red envelopes last year, but now he still has a ‘share’, and even the business of the shop has become him. ?

"Let me tell you now, don't worry, think about it slowly, and discuss it with Yan Xiucai."

"If Yan Xiucai wins this time, if you want to become a husband and not do business in the future, you can do it."

After all, it's a loss to do this.

Liu Shu doesn't feel like losing his status. Doesn't Yan's family feel that his family has no money and is poor, so he dares to bully and ridicule him? What a loss.

"I just feel like I'm just going to do my part, nothing else—"

"With you in the shop, I don't worry." Li Zhouzhou doesn't do washing and cutting very much now, he just mixes it with condiments, cooks some meals, and does some light work. "But the shop is not in a hurry. I won't be able to go to the exam this time, Mr. Xiang."

Of course I can't go, Li Zhouzhou's due date is around November.

All the way to Wannan Prefecture, Li Zhouzhou had a big belly at that time, so he couldn't mess around.

Gu Zhao couldn't say it anymore, and he will accompany the delivery at home when the next exam is held.But the words are not finished yet, I have never lost my temper with my husband, Li Zhouzhou refused to agree, and said that he had to try it out, Brother Zheng and Brother Yan both went, the three discussed it, and the husband was close to two I have been studying hard all these years, how can I delay because of him?

Li Zhouzhou started to cry as he talked, Gu Zhao said that Zhou Zhou could say anything at that time.

Just stop crying.

Gu Zhao still went to the exam, and Li Zhouzhou couldn't accompany him, so there was no hesitation. If he really went, would Xianggong worry about taking care of him, or would he take care of him?

Hesitant to discuss whether Li Zhouzhou should go back to the village to wait for delivery.

Because the yard is rented, the owner is particular about it, and I don't want my brother to have a baby in the yard of his house, which is 'unlucky'.Of course, if the 'unlucky' Li family paid five or six taels, the master would be able to agree.

Gu Zhao was angry when he heard this, and scolded his mother in the stomach, without showing his face, and said, "Why don't Zhou Zhou and his father go back to the village to wait for the delivery? In this courtyard in Fu County, the main house is connected to the shop street. , It’s not good to have a rest because of the noisy people coming and going across the wall.”

This is true.Li Da nodded.

Before, they worked and didn't sleep during the day, and the curfew was quiet at night, but if Zhou Zhou gave birth to a baby, the baby had to sleep, and the adults had to rest, then it would be terrible.

"The village is open quickly, and our house still has a big kang, which is warmer than sleeping on the bed here." Li Da said.

If Zhou Zhou is in confinement, it will be winter.

After all, it is better to be in the village.

But in this way, Gu Zhao and Li Zhouzhou had to separate early, and Li Zhouzhou couldn't go back to the village when his stomach got bigger, the journey would be bumpy and bumpy.Li Zhouzhou was very reluctant to let go of his husband, so he still agreed, and he could study with peace of mind when he went back to his husband early.

In July, Li Zhouzhou packed up and returned to the village when he was four months old.

Before leaving, the business of the shop was handed over to Xiaoshu. Xiaoshu was going to accompany him to Wannan Prefecture in October, so the shop should or had to be closed. There was no way.As for the transfer of shares, due to the rush and the fact that Liu Shu deliberately delayed and didn't want it, it has not been finalized.

Gu Zhao personally sent his father and Zhou Zhou back to the village.

There is one more thing that bothers Zheng Hui.

The level of medical care in ancient times was low, and the risk of pregnancy and childbirth was high. Gu Zhao couldn’t accompany the childbirth, and he regretted it very much. He cried every week and Monday, so he compromised and agreed. No proud apprentice?His family paid someone to come over and help him sit and watch.

Naturally it is easy to handle.

Zheng Hui readily agreed.

Gu Zhaocai was a little relieved.When the family arrived in Xiping Village, the villagers knew that Li Zhouzhou was pregnant, and they all came to watch the excitement. Gu Zhao bowed to him and solemnly asked which midwife was good and skilled, so he ran away first with the money and red envelope trip.

Please come over in November.Although Li Zhouzhou's due date is around November and early December, Gu Zhao is not at ease, what if she gives birth prematurely?

It's better to ask for a steady wife early.

Gu Zhao and his father discussed it, and in Gu Zhao's tense and serious atmosphere, Li Da also became nervous. He said, please come early, and he will clean up and live in the side room of the grain depot. Can put it down, and the other one can sleep after tidying up.

"Thank you dad."

"What's the hard work, you're right, hurry up and come here first." Li Dali cleaned up the grain depot, thinking that there would be people coming from the Zheng Family Medical Center in November, so he set up a big kang, so that he can sleep well by then .

Li Da was working on a kang with the villagers, and then went to the town to buy cloth and cotton, and asked someone to sew quilts and bedding.

Gu Zhao is here to invite Zhou Zhou's "Aunt Yuesao".

Because the Li family is all men, none of them has any experience, and they don't know what to eat and drink when pregnant, and what to avoid. Gu Zhao thought about asking a "auntie" to take care of her. body.

It's okay, because Li Guihua is a greedy person. When she was in confinement, she ate white, fat and rosy to keep her healthy and take good care of herself.If she came to take care of Zhou Zhou, as long as her family kept eating meat and provided food for the stepmother, then the stepmother would definitely be willing to change ways to cook better food every day.

She can eat it too.

In addition, in the past two years, Zhou Zhou has been the master, and the New Year gifts are heavy, and the stepmother has also seen clearly who is the master of the Li family, and has been holding Zhou Zhou all the time.

Gu Zhao made up his mind, and brazenly went to invite his stepmother.

"In the past, when I did laundry and cooking, I still had half a tael of silver to eat every month?"

"What do I eat every week?"

Li Guihua's heart is moving, how can she not be moved, she can't wait to pack up and live in the past immediately, as for the man in the family, the tiger-headed iron egg is old enough to cook, Gu Chen is four years old and can run away, deal with it at noon, she will come back to cook in the afternoon If not, go to their uncle's house to have a bite.

There are only a few months in total, and it is the end of July, and it is only four months before the birth.The two villages are close to each other, and she comes back every few days, so it doesn't matter.

Gu Zhao made the arrangements properly. As for whether his stepmother will be mean to Zhou Zhou, that’s not the case, because Zhou Zhou’s family is no longer as soft and doughy as before, but he still repeatedly explained: “I’m going to study in the prefecture, you must You have to take care of yourself, if you don’t like the food your stepmother cooks, or if she asks you to beg for something nonsense, just say so if you don’t like it.”

"Or you can find Second Aunt, and Brother Xing, Uncle Wang." Gu Zhao also greeted these few and gave gifts, and they all troubled to take care of his family Zhou Zhou.

As for why the second aunt was not invited, because the second aunt Liu Huaxiang would scold others regardless of anyone when she got angry, and Li Jianan was actually two years old this year, and she was still crying and breastfeeding.

Liu Huaxiang never gave up.

It would be good for these people to help and chat with Zhou Zhou.

Where have the villagers seen this kind of battle? Whose family has a baby? Why is Li Zhouzhou's baby so precious? Look at Gu Xiucai and Li Da running back and forth to make arrangements, but some people have said that Li Zhouzhou is 27 Well, it's no wonder the Li family can't be in a hurry to have their first child at such an old age.

This is true.

Before Gu Zhaolin left, he still did not forget to explain to his father that if he encounters a lamb with milk, he will buy it back.He had completely forgotten about it, my brother had no milk, so the baby was born, and either someone else in the village gave birth to a baby and paid for something to help feed it, or he bought a milk sheep.

"Got it, got it, let's go." Li Dadu thought Gu Zhao was long-winded.

Hearing these words, his ears were calloused.

Even though he said so, Li Da knew that Zhao'er cared about Zhou Zhou.

Li Zhouzhou sent off his husband with a big belly, but Gu Zhao looked back three times after he walked away. Li Zhouzhou didn't want to leave, so Li Zhouzhou smiled and said: "My husband should take the exam well, and I will take good care of myself in the village." Reluctant to give up, but this month, Mr. Lu was busy running around, everything was arranged, and he felt at ease.

"Zhou Zhou, take care of yourself and wait for me to come back." Gu Zhao hugged his wife's waist and kissed her.

Li Zhouzhou's face turned red. In broad daylight, even though he was in the yard, his father was waiting outside to see him.

Li Da immediately shook his head as if he didn't see it, but he was satisfied in his heart and smiled in his eyes.

"Even if there is a baby, who is the most important person in Zhou Zhou?"

"It's my husband."

Gu Zhao kissed Zhou Zhou's forehead again, and said, "Li Zhou Zhou is also the most important thing in Gu Zhao's heart."

Far away at Zheng's house in Ping'an Town, Grandfather Zheng opened the letter and read it. His face was solemn and his brows were serious. Grandma Zheng thought it was something when she saw it. Didn't it come from Gu Xiucai?

"What's the matter? But what's the difficulty?" It shouldn't be, Gu Xiucai is the most sensible person.

Grandfather Zheng said: "Gu Xiucai said in the letter that if Li Fulang's delivery does not go well, if there is any emergency, first come to Li Fulang."

Grandma Zheng was stunned, she was shocked at first, this, this - she couldn't speak, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood that Gu Xiucai valued Li Fulang, and the two had a good relationship.

"When the time comes, ask Ah Zhong to come over." Grandpa Zheng arranged for the eldest apprentice to go over and pass on eight parts of his medical books, and he is a dead-headed person.

Grandfather Zheng has a lot of experience, and it's not like he hasn't seen a woman shouting at a critical moment to save the baby first, and it doesn't matter to him.The doctor was in a mess at this time, and the man's family outside urged him to ask how the child was doing, so he ignored the adult's life.

Tang Rou will follow Zheng Hui's exit this time, leaving the child at home to be taken care of by her mother-in-law and grandma, and she will take Zhang Ma with her, along with Yan Xiucai's husband, so that the three of them can take care of each other as companions.

The Zheng family listened to Rou Niang's arrangement, so they didn't stop her, they just said don't be afraid to spend money when going out, they prepared 100 taels of silver, and went there early to settle down.

In the words, he reminded him to take care of the other two families. Since he and Brother Hui had a good relationship, he had heard from Brother Hui that he was not bad at learning in the past.

Tang Rou naturally knew that whether it was for self-interest or friendship, she should take care of her.

At the end of September, Liu Shu closed the shop, and the money should be exchanged for bank notes. I didn’t leave a couple of dollars for the small courtyard, because I was afraid that some thieves would take advantage of the two courtyards and no one would come in to steal the money. It's better to keep it with you than to keep it with you.

Willow sewed a pocket for his inner garment, and put the bank notes wrapped in cloth.
