Seeing Gu Ci, Gu Jiahe himself felt a little uncomfortable.His father told him what happened last time, and he knew that Gu Ci had no intention of treating him. Although he was secretly annoyed, it was more of a sense of disappointment and loss that he couldn't get what he wanted.

"Xiucai Lang." He had already reached the door, and it was hard to turn a blind eye to the people who came out of it. Gu Ci felt uncomfortable, but he still nodded to him with a non-evasive face.

"Little master." Abao also greeted, he still likes this little master, "Little master hasn't come to teach us for a long time."

Hearing the voices of the two, Gu Jiahe came to his senses. The school in the town was on holiday. Seeing the bad weather, he was worried about his father, so he came here to pick up Mrs. Gu, who was helping his father tidy up the house. , I probably feel that I am a big man with a broom in one hand and a dustpan in the other. I quickly put the things in my hands aside, nodded at Gu Ci, and then went to talk to A Bao, and then looked at Gu Ci, " Did the girl bring Ah Bao to find my father?"

Gu Ci nodded, "I'm a girl, it's the first time I'm in charge of the house, I don't know the etiquette, I just took time to visit my master today."

"Miss, you're welcome." Gu Jiahe patted Abao's head, and then hurriedly called the two of them into the room, "It's cold, you two go and sit inside, my father is sorting books inside."

Gu Ci didn't refuse, he took A Bao and followed him into the house.Scholars are lofty, if she puts down her things and leaves, she will despise people.

"Elder Sister, Ah Bao, why are you here?" Mrs. Gu had packed up all the books and was coming out of the small study when he saw three people coming in. He was a little surprised, but when he looked at the things in Gu Ci's hand, his brows furrowed. screwed up.

Gu Ci and A Bao greeted him, put the things on the table, looked at the sealed cabinets around, and said, "Master is going home?"

Master Gu nodded, and then took another look at Gu Jiahe, "Go to the stove and light a fire to make a pot of tea."

It seemed that I happened to be in time for people to leave, so Gu Ci hurriedly got up and said, "Don't bother, it's just a coincidence that I came here, I just brought Abao to thank the master, and it won't be long Keep."

Both father and son did not expect Gu Ci to come to the house today. Now that the fire in the stove has been extinguished, it will take some time to rekindle the fire to make a pot of tea. , our master and I are really in a hurry."

When Gu Ci heard the words, he smiled and said: "Since that's the case, then Abao and I don't want to delay you on your way. I'll come back to thank you when the new year begins."

Mrs. Gu didn't answer, and asked Gu Jiahe to go to the small study, and he brought up the meat and egg cloth bag again, "Take these things back."

"Master..."

"If you want to take it back, take it back." Mrs. Gu was tired of pushing and shoving things with the woman, and said with a frown, "I don't lack this piece of meat and a few eggs of yours. Take it back and feed it to the child, Ah Bao." He is a smart child, you have a good birth."

"Master has underestimated me." Gu Ci still didn't answer, and said to him with a smile: "Since I have separated A Bao to live with me, I naturally want him to live better. Master, don't worry about the three of us sad day."

Mrs. Gu saw that her expression was relaxed, and she didn't look like a poor woman's bitter and deep hatred, so he stopped pushing, put the meat and eggs on the table again, saw Gu Jiahe came out, and put a few copybooks in his hand Pass it to Abao, "Take it, don't be playful at home during the holidays, now that you have learned how to hold a pen and write some simple characters, you can take this copybook home and practice."

Ah Bao is ready to move, but he also knows that these things are expensive, so he dare not pick them up without Gu Ci's permission.

Seeing that A Bao went to visit Gu Ci frequently, Gu Jiahe also persuaded from the side: "This is not something valuable, I wrote these copybooks myself, I don't need them now, give it to A Bao, girl, please don't be polite. "

Upon hearing this, Gu Ci was even more embarrassed to accept it, "Master and Xiucai Lang are too polite..."

Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Ci, seeing that she looked embarrassed, and knew that the previous incident had put her on guard, "If you didn't want to come, I would also come to your house and give these to Ah Bao. Ah Bao Le is good at learning, and I am also happy to teach. Sending him these is not for your eldest sister's face, but for the sake of his being a good seedling, so don't think too much about him."

Gu Fuzi's words were not euphemistic, so Gu Ci naturally understood what she meant. He looked down and saw A Bao staring at the copybooks with bright eyes.

Knowing that the father and son were in a hurry, Gu Ci thanked them and took Abao home.

In the next few days, the weather still didn’t improve, and there was nothing she could do anyway, and the little girl kept yelling about when to take her to her grandfather’s tutor to teach sister Sanmei how to embroider. I went to Lijia Village.

According to the custom, as long as the grandparents are still there, this year's gift is indispensable, but if the father is still alive, it is not the son's turn to give the New Year's gift.

In the first two years of Mrs. Li's death, Mr. Gu still remembered this matter, but when Mrs. Liu came in and gained a foothold, Mr. Gu also forgot about it. In Mrs. Liu's words—this old lady For a living person, you don't even need to give New Year's gifts to her natal family, so why do you still serve her natal family when she's dead?

As for why there is no need to give New Year's gifts to Liu's natal family, both Liu and Gu Laoer claimed that it was Liu's parents who died, but those who knew something about the inside story and their husband and wife both knew that it was Liu's family. Unwilling to be a widow, she insisted on marrying Gu Lao Er. The old lady of the Liu family, who had been a widow from the age of 19 to the age of seventy, felt that she was sorry for the chastity card of their Liu family, so she drove her out of the Liu family.

Naturally, the Liu family would not recognize Gu Laoer as a son-in-law, so there was no need for him to give a New Year's gift.

Gu Ci is a girl's family, so there is no need to give New Year's gifts to grandpa's family, but now that they have separated with A Bao, this year's gift will naturally have to be made up.

In this weather, the mountain road is muddy and slippery and difficult to walk on, and Gu Ci did not allow the two of them to run around on the road. She was full of things and couldn't hold them, so she had to break off a broken branch for each of them on the road, so that They walked on.

The three of them walked cautiously and slowly, and when they arrived at Lijia Village, it was already lunch time, and Li Tiejiang's family was closing the door and preparing to eat.

"Elder Sister?" Hearing a knock on the door, it was the third aunt Yang who came to open the door. It was her turn to cook today, and she was serving the last dish on the table. When she heard the knock on the door, she put down the bowl He came out, and was really surprised when he saw Gu Ci at the door, "Come in quickly, and look at this A Bao and Jiao girl, their little faces are turning red from the cold."

While beckoning the three of them to enter the house, Yang notified the people in the house with a loud voice.

In an instant, all the members of the Li family came out happily. Both He Shi and Hua Shi stepped forward to take the things in Gu Ci's hands. I am happy and a little bit offended.

The niece knows how ugly she is and is grateful. Of course she is happy to be generous to them, but when she thinks that the three of them have no one to rely on, she feels worried.

However, this joyful atmosphere is not suitable for polite words. At worst, when they go back, they can return the gift and make up for it. So the two of them took the things and didn't say anything else. They just greeted her to warm up in the room .

Now that the two families have come and gone a lot, the old lady cared more about the grandson and niece whom she hadn’t seen so much. She came out after her, took A Bao’s hand and rubbed it for him, and then went to reprimand Gu Ci, “You dare not…” Big one, in this weather, bring them here, in case you fall, what should I do?"

The old lady smiled kindly and kindly, but when she had a tiger face, it was also a scary look. Gu Ci knew that grandma was worried about them, so he didn't feel wronged. He still smiled and said: "Grandma has wronged me, but I thought the weather would be better. Bring them here again, who knows that the two of them can't bear it anymore, and pester me every day, asking me to bring them here."

Hearing this, the old lady's face was still sour, and she looked at the smiling A Bao, and she felt pity, "My dear, do you miss grandma?"

"I think so." The sincere Abao would also like to please people, knowing that if he told the truth that he didn't want to, his grandma would probably be angry.

Now he has books and everything is full. He sits on the kang every day, holding a small old book and shaking his head, reading happily. He has no time to think about his grandparents. they come.

A group of people entered the house after talking, and Mrs. Yang added a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks, tidied up the small table on the kang in the main room, and put the bowls and chopsticks of several girls and children on it. There are about [-] people in the family, big and small, and they usually sit at two tables when they are crowded. Today, Gu Ci's three brothers and sisters came, so naturally they had to give them an empty seat to entertain them.

"Eldest sister, Ah Bao, Jiao girl, come and sit here." After tidying up, Mrs. Yang called the three of them to sit at the main table.

"We can just sit casually, we are a family, so there is no need for so many rules."

"A family is a family, but since we are visiting as guests, there must be rules of hospitality." He Shi agreed, and pulled her over with a smile. He turned his head to see Jiaojiao smiling, and looked over She sweetly called her eldest aunt, and He Shi was overflowing with maternal love again, rubbing her face that was flushed red by the wind, "It's been a while since we saw each other, our little girl looks good again."

The old lady has many granddaughters, and she has granddaughters, so she doesn't care much about Jiaojiao. After hearing what the eldest daughter-in-law said, she took a good look at her, "The last time you brought me here, you thought this little girl looked ugly. It looks shabby, but looking at it today, it looks really good."

"It seems to be because I look at her every day, but I didn't find her pretty." Gu Ci smiled, helped A Bao pull the stool closer, looked at Hua Shi again, and changed the subject, "Second Aunt, Third Aunt Did Sister Mei go to get a new embroidery work this month?"

"I got it." Hua nodded. Speaking of this, she was also happy with Jiaojiao, "Thanks to Jiaojiao, when I went to deliver the goods this time, the shopkeeper said that the embroidery for the third girl was all priced up." A penny."

Hearing this, the old lady became more enthusiastic towards Jiaojiao, and said: "There are still more than ten days before the Chinese New Year. Anyway, in this weather, you have nothing to do at home. Just stay at home for a few days and let Jiaojiao give more advice." Give Sanya the embroidery work."

Gu Ci wholeheartedly wanted Jiaojiao to make a good impression at his grandparents' house, so he brought the topic up to this matter just now, for this reason, "The last time grandpa mentioned this matter at home, this girl made a fuss about coming to teach younger sister Sanmei Embroidery, here this time, she brought all her embroidery work, isn't she just planning to stay here for a few days?"

"That's good." Hua Shi couldn't be happier, and rubbed Jiaojiao's head, "You can rest assured that you can live in our house for as long as you want."

The little girl who was thinking of wishful thinking smiled so much that her brows and eyes almost curled up, "Thank you, Second Aunt."

Sanmei who was sitting on the kang was also very happy, and timidly interjected, "Sister Jiaojiao, you can sleep with me that night."

This incident made the little girl a little embarrassed, she scratched her head, and tilted her head to look at Gu Ci, "Sister, are you going back then?"

Gu Ci looked at her wrinkled face, and wanted to laugh, "Sister is not as thick-skinned as you?"

Well, she is not thick-skinned.

If it wasn't for her elder sister and silly Abao who sat across the kang and stared at her every day, making her unable to embroider all those handkerchiefs and sachets, would she rack her brains to come to grandma's house?

And that little sister Xiaoxi is really a dou who can't help her. She stopped studying after an hour, so she couldn't secretly go to Aunt Six's house to catch up with work.She was desperate, so she wanted to come to grandma's house.

Who is she doing this for?Not to support the family.

"Look at you, you're going to tell me you're going to cry for the pretty girl?" Seeing the little girl's downcast eyes, the eldest aunt cast an annoyed look at Gu Ci, and hurriedly added a chopsticks of diced meat to the little girl, "Jiao girl, don't listen to your sister's nonsense, eat quickly."

Gu Ci also made a scene in front of all relatives, but unexpectedly it hurt her heart, "Sister teased you, sister must go back, otherwise who will feed your two rabbits?"

The little girl was sad that she couldn't sleep in her elder sister's arms at night. As soon as Gu Ci softened, she became arrogant, "If you are thick-skinned, you can be thick-skinned. Anyway, grandparents, aunts, and grandparents like me."

"That's right." He Shi was amused by her mischievous appearance, and then pretended to reprimand Gu Ci a few words.

The whole family chatted and ate happily, and they ate a meal for half an hour. Fortunately, they burned the kang in the room and added a brazier under the table, so they didn't feel cold.

It was a rainy day, it was getting dark quickly, Gu Ci didn't stay after dinner, worried that Jiaojiao wasn't used to being alone, so she left A Bao too.

She left in a hurry, and the third sister-in-law of the Li family didn't have time to prepare to return the gift. Thinking that she would come again in a few days, she was not in a hurry to return the gift, so she asked her third uncle to give her a ride.
