Chapter 27 Gu Wan
Chapter 27 Gu Wan

Seeing this, Gu Chengyu immediately came to his senses, almost forgetting that he is still a baby now!Then he tried his best to pretend innocent eyes, and pushed Lu's hand to her own mouth, "Mother eats it! Mother likes to eat it, but Xiaobao doesn't like it."

Mrs. Lu took another serious look, seeing that her youngest son was still so innocent and cute, she just thought she was dazzled, who is this little treasure from her family?After hearing these words, I was moved and pleased.

"Mother doesn't like to eat this! This is for babies, good boy."

"If my mother doesn't eat it, I won't eat it either."

Finally, under Gu Chengyu's "threat", Gu's mother had no choice but to take a piece, break it in half and taste it.

"I'll eat half of it. Save this for next time. I'm going to have dinner soon. If you eat too much, you won't be able to eat. Save this half for you to eat tomorrow when you're hungry." After hastily eating, there will be another half Wrap it up again and put it in the small kangqin.

At this moment, Gu Chengyu clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind that he must make a fortune, let his mother live a good life, and let his mother eat as much as she wants in the future.Ah bah, look at how promising he is, what is cloud cake, there are more delicious cakes than this!He wanted his mother to taste all the delicacies and wear all the silk and satin.

He is five years old now, making money should be put on the agenda as soon as possible, it is better to use less things in the space, getting rich overnight is not conducive to the long-term development of the Gu family, and it is not safe.I still have to think about a small business first, and then slowly expand it when I have the strength.

"Mother, is third brother back yet? I'm starving to death." When Gu Chengyu was swearing secretly, he was interrupted by a voice.

A girl came in from outside the house, and while shouting, she ran to the kang table and picked up the sea bowl on the table, and drank the cold water in the bowl with "gudong", "gudong".

"Oh! Slow down! You're a nine-year-old girl, why aren't you up to date? Look at you, do you still look like a girl?" Shi Lu frowned as she looked at Gu Wan who rushed in from the door. , scolded.

"Mother, since you have a younger brother, you don't like me anymore, so you know how to talk about me." Gu Wan pouted, put down the bowl in her hand, and flung herself into Lu Shi's arms coquettishly.

"You! You are a big girl who is going to be married in two years. Look, you are not willing to ask you to learn embroidery from your mother at home. Your mother's embroidery skills are not good, but you can still do it. You If you learn it, you can count it as a skill, and when you go to your husband's house in the future, it can be regarded as the capital for you to settle down. Your second sister-in-law is jealous!" Shi Lu said helplessly, pointing at Gu Wan's forehead.

"Mom, I didn't say no to learning. Didn't I want to learn slowly? Mother, why are you in a hurry?" Gu Wan felt a headache when she thought of learning embroidery. Who would want to sit there all day threading needles?She hasn't even learned the basics of mending, and she practices stitches repeatedly on a piece of cloth every day, which is so boring.

"Does Second Sister want to learn embroidery? Second Sister embroiders a puppy for Xiaobao, right? Second Sister's embroidery must be the best looking." Seeing that Lu Shi couldn't persuade Gu Wan, Gu Chengyu also helped.Girls in this dynasty still have skills, and relying on others is worse than relying on themselves.What's more, women in ancient times got engaged early, Gu Wan is already nine years old this year, it's better to cultivate her temper, it will be easier to talk about marriage in the future, there is no way, this is not modern.

"You little devil, what do you know? That puppy is difficult to embroider, so you can embroider it if you say so?" Gu Wan's eyes drifted a little, thinking that even the little brother started laughing at her?
"Anyway, you're not allowed to go out tomorrow, and you're not allowed to play with Chunhua. She has a lot of work at home. Do you want to help her when you go? Don't you want her to be scolded by her mother?" Mrs. Lu planned to restrain her daughter's temper. Now, running around like crazy all day long, will people talk about her in-law's family in the future?
"Mother, I didn't look for Chunhua today. I ran into Liu'er from Lizheng's house on the road, and went to play with her for a while." Gu Wan left Lu's embrace and sat on the edge of the kang, not knowing Thinking of something, he unconsciously pinched the corner of his clothes in his hand, looked at Mrs. Lu, hesitant to speak.

"Liu'er from Lizheng's house? Isn't that weird? That girl is not very good-natured, her nostrils have grown to the top of her head, and she still allows you to play at her house?" Mrs. Lu was rather surprised.Lizheng's surname is Lin, and his family is much wealthier than hers. Lin Lizheng's eldest son, Lin Wen, works as a bookkeeper in a restaurant in the town, earning [-] Wen a month. Most of the nearby villages are owned by him, and there is also a young girl Lin Duo married to the Fang family who own a small grocery store in the town.

"Mother, Liu'er's room is really big! She has several sets of fine cotton clothes. There is also a dressing box, which must have been made for her by her second uncle. There are several silk flowers in the box! I also saw I bought a silver bracelet!" When Gu Wan talked about the clothes and jewelry Lin Liuer showed her, she felt a burst of envy in her heart.

"Mother, I haven't made new clothes for two years, can you make me one?" Gu Wan looked at Lu Shi expectantly.

"You girl, you are so ignorant. Who in the family has made new clothes and worn them? Which one has not been mended and mended? Your younger brother always picks up your fourth brother's old clothes to wear. The first two times, my mother gritted her teeth. I gave you new clothes from the floral cotton cloth that your mother brought as a dowry. Even your mother and father haven’t worn new clothes for many years. It seems that you should not be allowed to run outside all day, and from tomorrow onwards, you will stay in the house for me, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." Hearing Gu Wan's words, Lu Shi immediately became furious, annoyed that she did not do business, and upset the little girl The mind of family comparison.

"It's fine if mother doesn't agree. Why are you so angry? Lin Liuer showed me her bracelet. I just wanted to touch it, but she beat me and said that our family is poor and even has a decent bracelet." I can't even wear clothes, our family has mud legs, fourth brother works as a servant in her house, and said that I have never seen silver bracelets before. Am I just angry?" Gu Wan's eyes were red, she touched the back of her hand, tears of grievance All will fall.

Gu Chengyu followed her movements and saw that the back of her hand was still a little red, and there are still red marks, which shows how severe the blow was. The girl's skin is tender, and the marks are not easy to disappear.

Gu Chengyu's eyes darkened, and he felt a little stuffy in his chest. "Second Sister, do your hands still hurt? Xiao Bao will give you a whir."

Gu Wan hurriedly put the backs of her hands behind her to hide, her expression still a little unnatural, "It's okay, everything is fine, the second sister is not Xiaobao, she will cry."

"Oh! You girl, why didn't you say it earlier? Show your mother quickly, this Lin Liu'er usually looks like she has a bad temper, why did she hit you? Why is she? No, I have to find her Go, this fight will be for nothing?" Lu snatched Gu Wan's hand, seeing that there was indeed a red mark on it, and felt very distressed.

Gu Chengyu looked at Gu Wan, although he felt wronged just now, but now seeing her mother's nervous look, her emotions have almost disappeared.

Gu Wan has a lively and carefree personality, and she is also a pampered little girl at home.Although being raised by the Lu family is a little naive, he still cares about major issues, rarely makes trouble for no reason, and he is still quite obedient.But in the end, she was just a little girl, who would be envious, jealous, and tempered, but overall she was not bad, and she took good care of her little brother.

"Mother, it's alright, the fourth brother is apprenticed with others! If you go, will the fourth brother still learn?"

Mrs. Lu was about to get off the kang and put on her shoes to argue with the Lin family, but she hesitated after hearing this.That's right, she had forgotten that the fourth child was still learning carpentry from Lin Wu, the second child of the Lin family, and had paid five hundred cash as a teacher's apprenticeship ceremony.If this is the case, then Lin's second child can still teach the fourth child well?

After thinking about this, Lu Shi looked at Gu Wan helplessly.At this moment, Gu Chengyu could understand the contradictory psychology of a mother, with fleshy palms and backs.
