Jiaohua Growth Guide [Rebirth]

The next morning, as soon as Gu Ci came back from washing clothes in the small river, the clan sent someone to inform her to go to the ancestral hall.

Gu Ci didn't need to guess what was going on, he went back to the house and told the little girl a few words, put the clothes in the wooden basin on the stool under the eaves and arranged them, called A Bao and followed the visitor away.

"Elder sister, now you are capable of flying into the sky." As soon as Gu Ci passed by, the patriarch with a fierce face scolded her head and face, "Before the incident with the wild boar in Nanshan, I even looked at you a few times. , I thought you were a sensible person, but it turned out to be such a thing that doesn’t distinguish between good and evil.”

"You are not allowed to scold my sister, my sister does not discriminate between good and evil." Not only is Ah Bao always quiet, he is not very courageous, and he never talks too much on such occasions.But after returning from Gu Laoer's house last night, his little head thought a lot back and forth, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt wronged for his sister, and he secretly made up his mind that he must protect his sister well in the future, and will not let The elder sister was wronged, and the moment she saw her elder sister scolding her, she stared at the patriarch with wide eyes, and her face was filled with anger, "The patriarch is eccentric, so he will bully my elder sister."

"You..." The patriarch looked at A Bao's immature face, but couldn't say anything serious, so he could only vent his grievances on Gu Ci, "A Bao was such a good child in the past. It was brought down by you. Look at you, since you came back, when did this village live peacefully? How many times has this ancestral hall been opened for you..."

"It's said that people, the older you get, the more confused you become. I didn't believe it in the past. Now, after hearing what you said, the patriarch, it's true." Since he wanted to break the jar, Gu Ci decided to go all out. She was fed up, "You said I was making a fuss? But it's really biased. Feel your conscience and ask, am I the one who wants to make a fuss?"

"You're still reasonable, who are you talking to with this fierce attitude?"

"and……"

"Sister, don't say a few words." Gu Liushu raised his voice and scolded her, winked at her, and then turned his head to look at the patriarch, "It's all a matter of slapping, patriarch, let's talk about it today." Come to the ancestral hall, there are important matters, so don't delay, I will be busy in the afternoon to show the glutinous rice field on Chuan Shang."

"Unlucky." The patriarch somewhat sensed Gu Ci's temper, looked at that stern face, and if he really wanted to quarrel, he couldn't please him, so he simply followed Gu Liushu's words and went down the steps, "Since you Now that you are so capable, you must really not need the blessings of your parents and grandparents, and you can break through the world by yourself, so what else should I do for you?"

Speaking as if she had received some great favor from them, Gu Ci snorted softly, "Life and death are destiny, wealth and honor are in the sky. Take care of your own affairs, and I really don't need you to worry about them."

"You...you have such an eloquent tongue. I didn't see that you were such an eloquent person before." The patriarch's face was gloomy as if it was going to rain, and the more he looked at Gu Ci, the more angry he became, "Your father was a few months ago Just come and tell me that your sisters and brothers are having a hard time, and you will not accept gifts from you during the New Year and holidays. Your brothers and sisters will live their own lives in the future, and everyone will not interfere with each other. I wanted to help persuade Persuasion, but never thought that you are so incapable of thinking. Come on, I will not say anything now, just ask your siblings, what do you mean by yourself?"

"Aren't you asking too much?" Gu Ci sneered, "I have called our siblings here today, so there is still room for change in this matter?"

Of course, Gu Ci's words were just for those present. She didn't care about her reputation, but she wanted to protect Abao's reputation for him. You must also behave in such a way that outsiders think that it was Gu Laoer who abandoned them.

Therefore, she immediately interjected: "Our siblings are not shameless people. Since he can't tolerate our siblings, he is afraid that we will come to the house to fight the autumn wind in the future, so he did what he wanted."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the hall. Uncle Gu Liu glanced at Liu Shi behind Gu Laoer, lowered his head and sighed slightly, "Sister, you have to think about it. It's broken... It's not a separation. It's true... from now on, you two brothers and sisters will take it seriously..."

"Uncle Six." Gu Ci called him, his eyes like splashed ink swept over the faces of everyone standing in the hall, and he smiled to himself, "The life between Abao and I is like having parents. A child? Our father used to be a good one, but when my mother left, he probably followed. Now, since he doesn't even want to let our siblings have a sustenance for the little bit of instant noodles, we Why should you care?"

Gu Laoer moved his lips, but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal for a long while.

"Since... both of you have made up your mind, it's hard for others to talk about it..." Uncle Gu paused, then turned his head to look at the patriarch, "Patriarch, what do you think?"

"Let the writer draw up the document and notify Lizheng that the two families have signed the deposit and ask Lizheng to send a document to the yamen." The patriarch's embarrassing elder, it has been a long time since such a thing happened in Gu's village. Later generations will only think that he is not good at managing the tribe. Although he is mentally prepared, he still feels tired when he announces it himself. Both Gu Er Er and Gu Ci have eyes that are not eyes, and noses that are not noses.

Severing the relationship is not the same as breaking up the family, and the family can be reunited if it is separated, but it can no longer be reunited if it is severed. In the future, the tax and corvee will be two families firmly established, so the yamen must record this matter.

After the patriarch said this, the matter was settled.

Gu Ci lowered his head to look at A Bao, only to realize that A Bao's little hand was red because he was holding it too tightly, so he hurriedly let go, "Does it hurt?"

Ah Bao shook his head, looked up at Gu Lao Er, his eyes suddenly turned red, and nodded again, "It hurts."

From now on, not only will there be no mother to be called, but there will also be no more titles like father.

It hurts, of course it hurts, the pain of losing a father.

Gu Ci didn't say a word, she didn't feel pain, but she could understand Ah Bao's pain, it's just that she was in pain earlier, intermittently until now, and gradually disappeared with that bit of family affection.

"From now on, you two have nothing to do with each other. Your eldest sister doesn't need to honor Gu Lao Er anymore, and if something happens to you siblings in the future, Gu Lao Er won't help you. I don’t feel any resentment, my brother. From now on, we will walk on the Yangguan Road, and on the single-plank bridge. You have nothing to say.”

Gu Ci saw that Gu Lao Er had no intention of speaking, so he raised his voice and said, "I hope that everyone present today can bear witness for our siblings and remember these few words."

Liu Shi, who had a backlog of words and had nothing to say, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled at Gu Ci, "May God bless you all."

Gu Ci glanced at her, and she didn't want to respond to her eccentric words.

At this point, the matter is over.

Guessing whether Gu's second son was afraid of long nights and dreams or something, in the afternoon, the drafted document was brought over, this time in quadruplicate, and the clansman who drafted the document read it carefully in front of Gu Ci's siblings , After confirming that it was correct, Gu Ci and A Bao pressed their fingerprints on it together and kept a copy for themselves.

The last matter was settled, so Gu Ci didn't waste time, and the next day, he asked someone to bring a message to Mrs. Gu from Pingxi Town, and hurriedly set up the matter of getting his name on the genealogy for A Bao.

Mrs. Gu didn't think it was a troublesome matter, so he rushed over the next day, and brought along the name he had been thinking about for A Bao.

Gu Ci was extremely grateful for Mrs. Gu's kindness, but the little girl couldn't refuse her kindness, so he could only apologize and said: "Master Gu is so worried about our siblings, to be honest, Abao's name It was decided a long time ago, but Mrs. Gu is highly respected, we want to use your name to get a good meaning."

Mr. Gu was a little dissatisfied with all his thoughts wasted, but he was relieved when he remembered what Abao said about the copybook before, "It's my honor. What is Abao's name?"

Speaking of A Bao's name, the little girl is very proud, and she is going to show off to her master, "Jing Yu, the scene of 'Mountains stand upright, Jing Xing Xing', "Huai Jin holding Yu, I don't know what it means to say 'Yu', the character is Huaijin."

"Jing-Yu." Mrs. Gu stroked his beard and chewed the two words slowly, a little surprised, "Back then the names of your two cousins ​​were decided. There are more outstanding names than 'Jing Xing' and 'Jing Zhi', but I don't want to come up with 'Jing Yu', Jing Xing Jing Zhi, Huai Jin holds Yu, Jing Yu, but it is really a good name..."

Mr. Gu was muttering, and suddenly looked at the little girl with a smug face. When he looked at the little girl, he couldn't help being slightly startled, and forgot what to say for a while.Although he had heard about these things in Gu Ci's house earlier, he didn't pay much attention to this little girl he picked up.Today, after taking a good look at it, I was shocked to realize the heaven and man.

"The girl is quite knowledgeable, and she knows the origin of these two words very well." Master Gu came back to his senses, and the look in the little girl's eyes was a bit meaningful, "'Jing Xing Jing Zhi' comes from the "Book of Songs", 'Huaijin Holding Yu' comes from "Chu Ci", presumably the girl has read a lot of books."

Little girl: Of course.However, this statement is not enough for outsiders.

"Master, I didn't see how this girl was picked up by me back then. She was a withered and stinky girl. She looked like she was too poor to support her and was thrown away. How could she read any books?" Gu Cisheng was afraid that the little girl would be arrogant. Jiao, just babbled nonsense, and hurriedly caught Mrs. Gu's words, "However, this girl is smart, and you can remember what others have said with a little care."

Mrs. Gu lowered her eyes, "That is indeed a smart girl, looking at the agility of her eyes, she is a smart girl."

Gu Ci laughed and said that Mrs. Gu was praising people again, and he didn't want to entangle him in this matter, so he brought the topic to some precautions on the genealogy on A Bao's name.

Although the villagers value sons over daughters, there are only two days of celebration before they are born until they are weak crowns.

On the day when the daimyo was listed on the genealogy, Ah Bao, as the main character, had to wear brand-new red clothes, and the elders of the clan would bring them to offer incense to the ancestors to pray for obedience. Explain the origin and source to everyone, so that everyone can remember this name, and then bring tea to neighbors and friends.

Although Mr. Naming is a decent job, it is also tiring.

The selected auspicious day was the last day of September. Many people in the village were already busy with the autumn harvest. Gu Ci thought that this would be the first and last banquet she invited the villagers to. , to leave a good name for A Bao, and I am not stingy

In the past few days, I have hunted a lot of wild animals on the nearby hills. I also killed the pair of old hens that my second aunt gave me, and bought some meat in the town. Gu Jie helped, they picked a lot of wild vegetables, picked up a sack of chestnuts, and did not ask other women in the village to help, but Xiao Shi came over to help, and the three aunts who knew she was going to hold a banquet also rushed over to help , Just finished the meal for this banquet.

Chef Gu Ci made this meal delicious, the elder brothers in the village ate it deliciously, and he was not stingy in saying blessings to A Bao.

Aunt Bangen heard the news from nowhere, and not only came with Uncle Bangen, but also Xia Hua and Gu Chunxiao, and they also gave A Bao a generous gift in front of everyone. It was a good set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and Xia Hua gave a medium-quality jade pendant, which made everyone envious.

Such a comparison made everyone criticize the Gu Lao Er's family who did not show up.Since Gu Ci took care of the family tree for his younger brother, everyone knew a little about the relationship between the two families.After all, they still live in the same village. It's so chilling that Gu's family hastily separated their relationship.

However, it was probably because Gu Ci entertained well, and the people who came to the banquet were also very knowledgeable, and no one mentioned anything about Gu Lao Er's family.

After the banquet was over, the uncles who came to the banquet helped to deliver the borrowed tables, chairs and benches. Gu Ci was not in a hurry to clean up. The big farm tools were taken out, "Uncle, I'm afraid I won't be able to use them after you take them away."

The third uncle is impatient, seeing everyone's blank faces, he directly asked Gu Ci, "Eldest sister, what are you doing here?"

"I'm going to move to the town." Gu Ci lightly said, "Now that the relationship with them has been completely broken, I don't have anything to worry about. A Bao has a bit of talent for reading, so I took him to the town to ask for a living. "

"Moving—to the town?" Too defenseless.

"Well, I have already planned it." Gu Ci comforted: "Uncle and aunt don't have to worry about me, Aunt Bangen's family took us three brothers and sisters together, it's great, and there will be someone to rely on when we go to town. It won't hurt."

Although a few people felt that Gu Ci's approach was a bit risky, they couldn't give any reason to object, but Yang could take it easy, "Eldest sister is calm and determined, since you make up your own mind, we will It won’t be broken. Besides, the town has a better future than our valley, so it’s good to have a chance.”

"I think the same way as the third aunt." Gu Ci smiled, and went to see a few uncles, "No matter how bad it is, aren't there still uncles and aunts?"

"I like to hear that." He Shi nodded, and pulled his man, "Okay, I also think that what the third sibling said is reasonable, the eldest sister is more careful, so don't scare me with a straight face. her."

"Where should I scare her?" The uncle looked relieved, "Have you decided to move someday? Set a date, and uncle will call your cousin to help."

"We don't have much stuff, so we just moved in these two days." Gu Ci heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the uncles and aunts are not pedantic, and they don't put on airs of elders, which saves her a lot of trouble. The latrine is not empty, so we will be delayed for a day today. Don’t worry, we have taken care of our residence in the town, and Brother Chunxiao will send a carriage to help us pack things.”

"That's fine." The uncle nodded, and heard from the old people in the village that the weather this year is not as good as last year, and the autumn harvest really can't be delayed, and they don't force it, "When the house is moved, I will inform you at that time." Let's say, when the autumn harvest is over, let your aunts come and see you..."

The group talked a lot more before Gu Ci urged them to go back quickly. Before leaving, the three aunts gave Gu Ci some money.

After sending people away, Gu Ci hurriedly packed up the house, and the little girl was not idle, so she took over the job of packing up the clothes.

In the evening, Gu Ci went to Lizheng's house again, and handed over the only half acre of land to Lizheng, whether it was rented out or sold, he would listen to Lizheng, as long as she would just say something. .

There are a lot of scattered things in the house, and it is troublesome to tidy them up. Gu Ci and Song Chunxiao made an appointment to move in two days, and it just so happened that they moved into the house on that day, so it was a good day.

Apart from Lizheng's family and Gu Daniu's family, Gu Ci did not tell anyone else about his move to the town.When she left the town, only Mrs. Xiao and Daniu's wife brought their children to see her off. Everyone else went to work in the field, and no one noticed it.

Gu Ci didn't like the atmosphere of joining in the fun. This way of leaving quietly was the best way. When the carriage rattled out of the village entrance, she glanced back and said softly in the direction of Xiao Li's cemetery One sentence: "Mom, I will take good care of Bao."

I won't let him go with you early like in my previous life.

As far as Gu Ci is concerned, she really doesn't have much nostalgia for Gu's Village, but it's different for A Bao. When she lifts the curtain of the car and looks at the farther and farther village entrance, the feeling of reluctance grows stronger, and tears flow involuntarily. down.

The little girl sitting next to him was excited, and when she turned her head to see A Bao secretly wiping tears, she was a little dumbfounded for a moment, rolled her eyes, and embraced him carelessly, "A Bao, don't be afraid Don't be afraid, my sister and I will take good care of you."

"I'm not afraid." The two sisters didn't drop the golden beans, but they lost it. What a shame, a little man also wants to save face, "I'm just a little sad..."

"What are you sad about?" How excited it was to leave this wretched place, anyway, the little girl didn't understand at all, she glanced at her sister who was still in a daze, she quietly leaned close to Abao's ear and whispered :

"In the future, when we go to the town, that annoying family won't bother us anymore... Hey, you can't bear to part with your father, right? But, you're still young, so it's normal that you can't live without him. But there's still me and my sister. , the elder sister is like a mother, our sister is so powerful, it doesn't matter if you treat her like a father. My sister is also very capable, and she is caring and gentle to you, even if you treat me like a mother, it is not an exaggeration."

Abao: "..."

Just in time, I heard the whispered Gu Ci behind the little girl: "..."
