Chapter 26 Cloud Pie Cake

Chapter 26 Cloud Cake
"Bah!" Aunt Wang saw Wang Yueniang quiet down, and spat with her waist inserted. "This coward has been narrow-minded since he was a child, and he doesn't see good things from others."

"Oh! Brother Gu, don't be as knowledgeable as her. She and I grew up in the same village. She has shallow eyesight. She thought she was the best looking in Wang's Village. She loves to compare herself with others. Married In Shangling Village, I thought she was a flower in the village! I don’t even think about how old I am, but I’m living more and more. Ever since your mother-in-law came, she’s always raised her eyebrows, shameless!” Aunt Wang Smiling at Papa Gu, he explained that when he turned around, he saw Gu Chengyu staring at her with his black eyes.

"Ouch! Look at my mouth, I'm going to be blind. The fifth child of the Gu family, hurry up and go to your father's house! It's late to go back, I'm afraid your mother will be more reluctant to let you come out next time." After speaking, he shook his arms, She went back with her ten-year-old dog.

Oh, it turned out that it was caused by the old lady. No wonder I usually don't leave the courtyard so easily, I only live in the Gu family's one-acre land, not to mention that I am married as a second wife, so I am afraid of being criticized.

Who said that the farmers are all honest?Gu Chengyu narrowed his eyes and looked at the direction Wang Yueniang left. To be honest, he used to be a woman, and a woman's jealousy is sometimes very scary.But after thinking about it, Aunt Wang has a straightforward personality and is quite upright. The most important thing is that she is from the same village as Wang Yueniang, so she must know her very well.What's more, the relationship between the two is not harmonious.

Gu Chengyu has a nature of planning for a rainy day, and likes to think about everything and take precautions before they happen.Of course, except for the discovery of washing his face, because Gu Chengyu also has a problem, that is, he is a bit of a clean freak, in fact, he is a bit of a fuss.

When women quarrel, most men don't care about it. Although Wang Yueniang said some exaggerated things, the three of them are not easy to understand like women.

After thanking Aunt Wang, Father Gu led Gu Chengyu to the gate of Gu's courtyard.Gu Chengyu looked at the wooden courtyard gate and the thatched roof of Gu's family, and thought of his old mother. It seems that Gu's mother is considered the best in the eyes of some people in Gu's family~
"Mom, I'm back!" Gu Chengyu let go of Gu Lao's hand, pushed open the courtyard door, and just walked into the courtyard, he yelled in the direction of the main room.

"Hey! Mother's darling, little treasure, why have you been away for so long?" Hearing her youngest son's shout, Mrs. Lu hurried out of the main room, still holding an embroidered bandage in her hand.Before Gu Chengyu had time to go to the upper room, she asked Gu's mother to hug her.

Mom~ Can you stop being so enthusiastic every time?It made him feel shy.Gu Lan, who was walking behind, was no longer surprised. Her grandmother often hugged her uncle's heart and soul, and she would get goose bumps at first. After a long time, she got used to it, and went to the kitchen to help her mother with work. .

When passing by the west wing room, he glanced at it and saw that the doors and windows were closed tightly, so he curled his lips.Today it was Second Aunt's turn to cook, but she shied away and said her stomach hurts.This second aunt must be cooking a small stove in the house again! Several times she saw the second aunt and her family's Erlang and Sanlang with oily mouths!

Papa Gu and the others had already gone to set up the farm tools and prepared to wash their hands. Before eating, they had to fasten the chicken coop firmly.

"Don't tell Erya to call you, you don't want to come back, do you? Have you gone to play with Tie Dan and Shi Shi?" Shi Lu pushed Gu Chengyu away, and was quite satisfied when he saw that his clothes were still clean, so she knew Her Xiaobao is different from the mud monkeys in the village. Xiaobao loves to be clean since he was a child.

"Mom, I saw that Dad and the others went digging the ground and didn't come to play with them. I missed you for a while when I went out!" There is no way, so that I can go out smoothly next time, I have to coax his mother with some good words. Mother just likes to be coaxed by him?
Tie Dan and Shi Shi are Gu Chengyu's few friends in this village who can play together.In fact, it is rare to play together, the most important thing is that it is rare for Gu Chengyu to go out.

When Mrs. Lu heard that her sweetheart missed her, her heart was filled with joy, and she grinned and said to Gu Chengyu: "Let's go, let's go to the house with mother to rest. I have to ask your second brother to pick up your third brother at the intersection. Niu came back with a message, saying that his master is going to his father-in-law's house, and he can come back for dinner today."

"Second brother, you go ahead and wait for Sanlang. He said he will come back today, and he doesn't know if he has brought anything. You go and meet him."

"Hey! Mom, I'm going right away." Gu Chengyi put down the hoe, washed his hands and went out.

Gu Chengyu was taken back to the main room and sat on the kang. "Third brother hasn't been back for a long time." Gu Chengyu also missed him, and third brother was good to him. When he came back from the town, he would bring him some snacks, such as Sanhe noodles steamed buns and wood carvings for a penny each.Of course, he didn't want his steamed buns! "That's right! His master is strict, how can it be easy to be an apprentice? After studying for more than half a year, he has only been paid ten pennies." Lu sighed, put down his bandage again, and went to bed on his stomach. Inside the small kangqin standing at the end of the kang, I don't know what I'm touching.

Gu Chengyu is very funny, when no one else is around, as long as his mother does this action, he will know what his mother wants to do.Sure enough, Mother Gu took out an oiled paper bag from the kangqin, looked out of the window into the courtyard, saw no one was coming to the main room, so she quickly opened the oiled paper bag, revealing the pastry inside.

"Little Treasure, eat quickly! Wait for those shallow-eyed people to come in and see if you can see it. Are you hungry after playing all afternoon? This is Yunpian Cake! It's delicious." Mother Gu said with a smile , bent down and stuffed the pastry in his hand to Gu Chengyu's mouth.

This Yunpian cake was brought back by my father when he went to the small market in Dasang Village last time. He only weighed half a catty, and he also brought half a catty of jujube cake.Jujube cake is made of thick black flour. Of course, light rough noodles are not delicious, and a little white flour is added in it; while Yunpian cake is made of fine white flour, and a little white sugar is added in it. It's already considered a good thing in the big set.Generally, farmers who go to the market are reluctant to buy cloud cakes, and even jujube cakes are more affluent farmers, and it is rare to buy them for the children at home to satisfy their greed.

Mother of Gu's other hand had only one piece of cloud cake and three pieces of date cake. Last time I saw his fourth brother and second sister Gu Wan sharing one piece of cloud cake and gave him one piece, but he didn't want it.I heard from his father that his mother likes to eat Yunpian Cake. Since he was born till now, the family has only bought it twice.

Gu's mother saw that Gu Chengyu's mouth was not moving, she only looked at her with those peach blossom eyes similar to hers, and urged: "You child, what are you doing with your mother? Eat quickly, you didn't eat last time, mother left you Let’s go! Here’s another piece, you’re the youngest in the family, eat another piece, I’ll keep the piece from your third brother, and I’ll leave the date cake for your father, I’m not going to be hungry after eating this, I’ve been working a lot in the field during this time, I’m hungry It's so shitty."

Half a catty of pastries is only about five yuan in total, which means that his mother didn't eat any of them.

Gu Chengyu's eyes were a little wet, and his throat felt uncomfortable as if it was blocked by something.The woman in front of me is indeed like the best in the previous novels. She is stingy, eccentric, domineering, and sometimes even unreasonable, but she is still her own mother. She loves her child and considers it wholeheartedly for her child.He is sorry for the eldest brother's family and the second brother's family, and will definitely make up for them in the future.

Seeing that Gu Chengyu still didn't open her mouth, Mrs. Lu looked at her with inexplicably complicated eyes, and felt a little surprised in her heart, how could this look like a child's eyes?
