The husband's son-in-law

Nowadays, during the slack season, every household in the village eats twice a day, at around ten in the morning and around four in the afternoon. They don’t work in the fields anyway, and they eat rice porridge with thin soup and little water, sweet potato rice, and pickled vegetables. It's just ten days and a half months to see an egg, it's considered meaty.

At noon, the smell of meat wafted from the kitchen of Gu Si’s family. The greedy children next door were drooling and crying for meat.

Who can feed meat every day?

"No meat! Cry again and cry again, I'll unscrew your ears and fry them on a plate for you to eat."

The child covered his ears in fear, and was so greedy that his saliva could form a stream. He stood in the corner of the courtyard tick-tock, facing Hutou's house, and sucked two more mouthfuls.

His mother saw that she was so hopeless, she could not scold her, but it was impossible for her to eat meat.

After a while, Gu Da's wife came out.

The uncle's maiden surname is Zhu, and her natal family is from Shili Village.

Holding a big thick bowl in his hand, Mrs. Zhu looked at the next door, and saw a bowl full of meaty meat dishes. She greeted at the door, frowning, and said, "Li Guihua is very happy today, to be able to give such a big bowl of vegetables."

Everyone knows that Li Guihua is a stingy one.

Zhu said with a smile: "The fourth brother asked me to take it back to honor my mother-in-law." The meaning was not to give her something to eat, and he left after speaking.

With this bowl of meaty vegetables, Mrs. Zhu walked to her house, and saw her mother-in-law as soon as she entered the yard.Mrs. Gu glanced at the dishes served by Mrs. Zhu, and said, "You are a sister-in-law, so why do you bring a bowl back when you do a favor and make a meal?"

Mrs. Zhu knew that her mother-in-law was partial to the younger son, and she was afraid that she would eat more and the younger son would eat less when she brought it home, so she immediately said: "How can I want it, it's the fourth brother who insists on me, to honor you."

The old lady Gu was happy on the face, but said in her mouth: "If you have the heart, you will do it. His life is not easy. He has two babies, and Li Guihua is lazy again..."

Mrs. Zhu was not angry a long time ago, she couldn't get angry.The mother-in-law is eccentric, what can she do?The fourth brother is a treasure even if he gets a needle during the holidays. Their family is so good at serving them that sometimes it doesn't work out.

"Mother, I'll put the food in the kitchen, whenever you want to eat it, tell me to heat it up." Mrs. Zhu said.

Mrs. Gu didn't complain anymore, she nodded and told Mrs. Zhu to put it back.

"You came back with this bowl of vegetables? You didn't say you put it in a basket. It's ugly to be ostentatious."

Mrs. Zhu put away the dishes, and sent the girl to return the bowl later. Hearing what the mother-in-law said, she quickly explained, "The fourth sibling said that there are no other bowls, and the basket is also occupied, so let me bring it back."

There is a four-bedroom couple, one is just lip-smacking, the other is lazy and stingy, you take advantage of her, and everyone in the village knows and remembers, do you think this bowl of food is delicious today?Mrs. Zhu is not rare, but he also took it back, so why not make Li Guihua feel bad?

Anyway, it is only natural for a son to respect his wife.

Their eldest family didn't owe Li Guihua anything.

Mrs. Gu understood, her face darkened, she cursed, glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law, and said in a slow tone: "The old man who didn't divide the house was there before, and at that time he was partial to your fourth brother, he Weak and young, working in the field at home, there are too many people, so it is you who help, and he helps."

"Or do you only remember why you sent Zhao'er to study? The situation in the house is better, the dolls are all over the age, only Tiewa from the third room is about the same as Zhao'er, and they went to Xiucai together, and you know the result, Within a few days, Tie Wa herself said that she didn’t want to read it anymore, and she wouldn’t fight no matter what…”

Now that Mrs. Gu is with her eldest son, even though she protects her younger son in her heart, she can't discourage her elder son and daughter-in-law. Those things in the past will be exposed and cleared up now.

Mrs. Zhu gave birth to two sons and two daughters. At the beginning, the conditions were poor and she couldn't afford it. When she was able to recognize a few words, she was too old.

"The food in Shuxiu's family didn't cost much. I felt sorry for Zhaoer's mother who died at a young age, so I took care of it." Mrs. Gu patted the ashes on her hands, and finally said: "Zhaoer is now Li The family is gone, and I can't get Xiao Si's house and half a tile, Li Guihua has shallow eyes, and it doesn't interfere with her two sons, there are still people in the Li family in the prefecture, who knows if they can be used in the future?"

The last words were scolding Li Guihua, and also by beating the eldest daughter-in-law.

The family is separated, although they are all relatives, but the bones are connected, and the relationship is good. In the future, the brothers will have difficulties, and they can support each other. Don't be like Li Guihua, you have to offend them all.

Mrs. Zhu heard the same reasoning, and said: "What mother said is true, but I see that from now on, Zhao'er may not come to the door at all."

"What's the matter? What did Li Guihua say to be a bad example?" Mrs. Gu was in a hurry.

Although Gu Zhao became the son-in-law of Li's family, he grew up to 12 years old in the old house, and Mrs. Gu loved her grandson.

Zhu said honestly: "It has nothing to do with the fourth sibling, the fourth brother doesn't like it very much."

She learned what happened at the fourth brother's house just now.

"The hot water is boiling, and Zhao'er wants tea. After brewing the first pot of tea, I pour it for Li Zhouzhou, and the face of the fourth brother turns black. Zhao'er said, 'Marry and obey your husband'." Zhu's eyelids twitched , did not dare to stay in the house.

"When cooking, Li Zhouzhou sat in the room with his fourth brother, Zhao'er ran back and forth, asked Li Guihua for melon seeds and peanuts, after peeling, put them in Li Zhouzhou's hands, and served Li Zhouzhou to eat. "

"Li Zhouzhou finished eating, and Zhao'er asked for a towel to wipe his hands. I see fourth brother's complexion getting worse and worse."

Zhu has never seen a man serving his wife like this outside.

Mrs. Gu knew that her youngest son wanted to save face, so she must have felt that it hurt her face.It's just that she didn't expect Zhao'er to live such a life in Li's house, so she couldn't help but curse Li Guihua for selling Zhao'er for 18 taels.

It's not easy to be a son-in-law.

Gu's father's house.

After the meal was finished, Gu Zhao poured hot water for Zhou Zhou to drink, and kindly asked if he wanted to help clean up.Li Guihua went to her uncle's house to invite her sister-in-law to cook, and her complexion was not good. She went all the way to her sister-in-law to make meat dishes and took away the meat dishes, and Gu Zhao asked her for melon seeds and peanut caramel...

Li Guihua almost gritted her teeth.

Tie Dan likes the elder sister-in-law, because the elder sister-in-law asked him if he would eat caramel, and gave him the caramel.Tiger head also ate an extra portion.The two brothers ate the candy given by their sister-in-law, completely ignorant of the fire in their mother's heart.

"How can I let my relatives do this, the iron egg bowl is taken away, why are you just eating and not doing anything?" Li Guihua scolded the eldest son.

Tiedan obediently went to wash the dishes.

"Mother, I see that you are pregnant and irritable, and it is not good for the child in your stomach. Didn't Zhou Zhou bring sugar over—"

Before Gu Zhao finished speaking, Li Guihua became anxious, "There's nothing to be upset about, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look."

After finishing the idea of ​​melon seeds, peanuts and caramel, after eating the meat, you still want to use her candy?Li Guihua hurried out of the house, not wanting to provoke Gu Zhao anymore.

In the room, Gu Si had a good meal and didn't have a good face. He glanced at his son and said, "Hurry up and go back after eating. You don't have to come here later."

"That's not good, dad, it's a lack of manners." Gu Zhao said.

"Now that you are a member of the Li family, you will be less likely to come to the door in the future. There is nothing for you to worry about if I have Tie Wa and Tiger Head here."

In the end, Gu Zhao could only agree to go with tears and grievances, saying that he would not come if there was nothing to do.

Li Guihua finally sent the two door gods away. Before leaving, Gu Zhaolin touched a handful of jujubes, saying that the jujubes grown on the tree at home are sweet, and Zhou Zhou likes to eat them. Aniang won't be reluctant, right?

Baqiang next door is watching the excitement.

Li Zhouzhou brought so many generous gifts when he came, wouldn't he be happy to eat your jujubes when he returned?Don't be petty.Li Guihua thought of the broken mouth arrangement next door, so she could only smile and say, "Eat, if you like it, take more."

"How can I take more."

Outsiders who don't know, it is said that Gu Shulang came to the door and became a son-in-law, but now he looks a little bit, he brought a generous gift when he came back, and he didn't dare to take more dates when he wanted to eat dates, how pitiful.

18 The two and one cents did not fall into Gu Shulang's hands, and it was all cheap for the stepmother. Now it depends on the stepmother's face to eat a date.

Poor.

Anyway, when Gu Zhao and Li Zhouzhou came out of Dongping Village, the heads of the village who kowtowed and gossiped looked at them with sympathy.

The field trails are beautiful.

"Sir, are you deliberately teasing your mother-in-law and father-in-law?" Li Zhouzhou asked.

Gu Zhao hummed, and looked at his wife pitifully, "Zhou Zhou, you won't be angry at me for doing this, will you?"

"No." Li Zhouzhou said hastily, he would not be angry with his husband because of these trivial matters, it would not do if he denied it, and explained: "I'm not angry, it's just that your parents treated you badly?"

That's why Xianggong did it.

Li Zhouzhou had no father since he was a child, and he could only swallow it when he was bullied. He thought that his husband still had a stepmother, so life must be difficult. He felt sorry for him.

"It's not bad for me." Gu Zhao wiped the date in his hand, passed it to his wife's mouth, restrained the tea in the tea, and told the truth to Zhou Zhou, "I grew up in the old house, and Grandma and Grandma Among the few cousins, my master treats me the best, and after my mother is gone, I can eat two more bites of sugar-watered eggs."

Sugar-watered eggs are rare. When the elders in the family cook them, they are usually fed to children or confinement women. It is impossible for children to eat the whole thing, and most of them are eaten separately, with some sweetness.

The original body is a sweet-mouthed person who will sell miserably, and is beautiful, and has won a lot of benefits.

"Before I was 13 years old, I didn't do much farm work in the old house. There were three aunts and sisters at home who cut pig grass, fed chickens and ducks, washed and cooked. Excuse me. Later, the family separated, and it was not good to build a yard at home, so I made excuses and lived in the old house for almost a year."

There are many chicken thieves in the original body, the yard of the branch house has been built, there is work everywhere in the new house, and there is an uncle's family in the old house, eating, drinking and washing without touching hands, it has been delayed for almost a year.

"After going back, although the stepmother didn't speak well, she did what she had to do. If she dared to shout loudly, I would make a fuss and go back to the old house to find grandma."

So when Yuanshen was at home, he really didn't experience any harsh treatment from his stepmother.

Li Zhouzhou didn't understand, "Then why did Mr. Xiang--"

"So angry with my stepmother and my father today?" Gu Zhao answered with a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, and said, "She wants you to work."

Li Zhouzhou thought it was a big deal. After eating the jujube, it was so sweet, and he still smacked the jujube pit to feel the taste, and said vaguely: "I just do the laundry and cooking. It's not tiring. I just do it on weekdays." I'm used to it, she is an elder, and she has never been mean to you, it's nothing."

He knows that Xianggong loves him, that's enough.

"Be careful not to swallow it." Gu Zhao reminded, seeing Zhou Zhou spit it out, and then said: "My stepmother is a person, you don't know, I was not easy to bully before, so she didn't bully , If I don't stand by your side today and block you back, you won't be able to do the laundry and cooking obediently today in the Gu family, and you will say you are a fool behind your back."

It happened like this in my previous life.

Yuan is as good-faced as Gu's father. He was wronged and married in order to get the Li family to accept his imperial examinations, but he couldn't be mentioned by outsiders. The mention of it hit a sore spot, so he bullied and scolded Li Zhouzhou outside to save face.

It means that even though I am married, the Li family and Li Zhouzhou still listen to me as my husband-in-law.

After returning home, Li Guihua was born in the twelfth lunar month, and it was freezing in the cold. Her own family had no one to take care of the confinement child, so she made an idea of ​​Li Zhouzhou, saying that the two villages were close, so Li Zhou came over before dawn. Waiting, I'm going back at night when I'm done.

He didn't even give Li Zhouzhou a bite to eat.

It was snowing and freezing in winter, and Li Zhouzhou was doing laundry and cooking at Gu's house. His ten fingers were red and cracked from the cold, not to mention that he didn't get any good, and Li Guihua despised his hands and feet.

Gu Zhao's heart hurts when he thinks of this, he only hates that this original body is not human.

Fortunately, he wore it and occupied his original body, otherwise these things would happen again.

"Zhou Zhou, if you feel wronged in the future, tell me if you don't want to do it." Gu Zhao held Zhou Zhou's hand, interlaced his fingers, and slowly and lovingly rubbed Zhou Zhou's fingertips, layer by layer. Cocoon.

Li Zhouzhou was itchy from being touched, but he didn't move, and obediently let his husband touch him.

He was sweet in his heart, sweeter than the jujube he just ate. He never thought that Xianggong would make his father angry because of the trivial matter of not letting him work.He wanted to say that it's okay to do some work, but he didn't say it after thinking about it, because it was the husband who loved him. If he said that again, it would be caring for outsiders, and it would hurt the husband's heart for him.

"I know Mr. Xiang." Li Zhouzhou said seriously.

The couple walked back all the way, walking slowly, eating jujubes separately, you and me, sweet and sweet, and when they arrived at Xiping Village, they dawdled for half an hour.

"Didn't Zhou Zhou go back to the door? You came back so early?" Aunt Wang asked outside the yard.

Li Zhouzhou hummed, and said, "After lunch, the father-in-law and mother-in-law have something to do and don't leave us alone."

Aunt Wang: ...

Didn't realize it, Li Zhouzhou took his husband and son-in-law back home, dare to call Yue's family to Gu Zhao's parents?Gu Zhao didn't say a word, can he bear this?

Aunt Wang looked at Gu Zhao's face.

Gu Zhao smiled and said, "Hello, Auntie."

I really don't take it to heart.Aunt Wang was speechless.

When the couple entered their house, Li Zhouzhou whispered, "Mister-in-law, I just said that I was bald, and I didn't mean to call my father-in-law and mother-in-law." You can't call your stepmother in front of Aunt Wang, can you?

How bad that is.

Recalling that Xianggong asked him to call him mother-in-law, he took a step forward, and his father-in-law followed suit.

The yellow mud walls are not soundproof.

Gu Zhao said loudly: "I came to marry you, and now I'm from the Li family. It's very polite for Zhou Zhou to call Yue's family. Who dares to say that you are not? Besides, my father and mother also recognize it, and let me take good care of you."

"Mister!" Li Zhouzhou blushed.

What to serve well.

These are the words of a daughter-in-law serving her husband.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk." Gu Zhao's voice became normal because he saw his father.

Li Da came out when he heard movement in the courtyard, and as soon as he came out, he heard Zhou Zhou from his family calling Gu Zhao's father, mother, and Yue's family?I was stunned on the spot, even though it was recruiting a son-in-law, didn't I expect Gu Zhao to be so honest that he didn't even want a man's face?

But speaking of selfishness, it is good for their Li family.

"Father." Seeing his father, Li Zhouzhou's ears were flushed with shame, and he lost face, "I'll go to the backyard to see the piglets." He seemed to run away to the backyard.

Li Da coughed, looked at Gu Zhao, and said, "I'm back, let's take a break."

"Okay, Dad." Gu Zhao went back to read.

While it is still light, read a book for an hour.

Li Zhouzhou watched the pigs in the backyard, touched two more eggs, and the redness on his face went down. Thinking of his father's words, and the care of his husband today, he glanced around the chickens, and the chicken that laid eggs recently If there are fewer, I will kill him tomorrow to make up for my husband.

……

"I heard it with my own ears, can I be wrong? Zhou Zhou went to Gu's house to call his father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Gu Zhao also said that his parents agreed to call him that, and asked Gu Zhao to take good care of Zhou Zhou."

Aunt Wang followed others to learn what she had just heard.

Others frowned, smiled, and you talked to each other.

"I didn't expect Zhou Zhou to be so powerful. I couldn't see it before."

"People 18 taels of silver are not spent in vain, but the recruiting son-in-law can recruit Gu Zhao like this, Li Da is secretly having fun, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to work when he is old, and Gu Zhaoxin will bully Zhou Zhou."

"Gu Zhao looks honest and handsome, he is obedient to Zhou Zhou, this brother-in-law has found this." He gestured a thumbs up, the top one.

At the beginning, everyone laughed at Li Zhouzhou for not being able to recruit a good brother-in-law with money, and he was a loser.Later, even if Gu Zhao was recruited, some people said sour words, saying that Gu Zhao was not good at studying, that he would be ashamed to go to the prefecture, and picked on Gu Zhao's hand, but he couldn't pick on Gu Zhao's weak body. With a kick, the person left, and Gu Zhao designated to drag Li's family to Gu's family.

The most fearful thing for recruiting a son-in-law is to speak well, but in the end hide all his thoughts and empty out the Li family's wealth to subsidize his own family.

Before Gu Zhao said that he was from the Li family, some people said that Gu Zhao was talking nicely and tricking Li Da Li and Zhou Zhou.But today when the young couple returned home, Li Zhouzhou called Gu Zhao's father and mother Yue's family. Even the Gu family recognized that the son was going to marry and belonged to the Li family.

That's not just casual talk.

"Although Gu Zhao is skinny, he is still young. After a few more years, he may become stronger. By then, he will be able to work in the fields. Besides, he will have Zhou Zhou's help, so the days will be better."

"This Gu Zhao is still a caring person. From Zhou Zhou's words, there is nothing wrong with being thinner."

"Isn't it true, which man in the village will accompany you to fetch water? I saw it last time. Gu Zhao looked at Zhou Zhou's eyes and even covered Zhou Zhou's hands."

The more the aunts and uncles talked, the happier they were, and the smiles were also kind smiles.

Only the Zhang family is not happy, the old man who is so embarrassing, why is Li Zhouzhou getting better?Is Gu Zhao really honest and honest with Li Zhouzhou?

She doesn't believe it, bah, let's wait and see.

Sometimes Li Zhouzhou cried.
