Splendid pastoral, the doctor girl is a little sweet

Chapter 10 The Mysterious Visitor
Gu Yingying only knew that Aunt Xu's natal family was on the outskirts of the imperial city, and because of a relative who was a good friend of Uncle Xu, she was able to meet Uncle Xu.

After Aunt Xu got married, she quickly learned the dialect of the land of Jinxia, ​​so she seldom spoke the official dialect of the imperial city with anyone.

Maybe the relative that Aunt Xu is looking forward to coming is a relative from the imperial city.

I remembered that after the second uncle and the others came back, the Xu family often sent chickens, ducks and even fish over.Gu Yingying just chatted briefly with Aunt Xu at the intersection, and soon took Niu'er home.

I want to catch two geese, and find some glutinous rice to send to the Xu family, so that I can cook for them to entertain guests.

Back home, Gu Yingying stood in the main room, and heard the words from the cubicle.

"Second brother, your elder brother and I have both gone to invite them, but the second younger siblings just don't want to come back. You see, why don't you go to Shen's house with your elder brother again, and bring the younger siblings back."

"Sister-in-law, this matter It's a bit difficult."

Second uncle Gu Qingyu hesitated to speak.

"You go to pick up your daughter-in-law and daughter home, what's the problem?" the father asked anxiously.

Gu Qingyu was silent for a while, before saying: "If Yingying goes to apologize to her second aunt in person, I believe her second aunt will understand."

Hearing this, Gu Yingying sneered in her heart, she had a good idea!
Gu Qingfeng said: "Second brother, you are spoiled by your daughter-in-law, we don't say anything. But you have to tell her that no matter what, she is an elder, and she must have the bearing of an elder. Little misfortune, you have been implicated. But Yinger has been trying her best to correct herself during these days, why do we bother to embarrass a child?"

Gu Yingying smiled relaxedly, her father was still clear about right and wrong.

Walking to the pond, I found a group of geese swimming happily in the water.Seeing them so free and easy, how could she have the heart to catch them and give them away?

Going back to the house, I found some glutinous rice and a little flour, packed them in cloth bags, and sent them to Xu's family.

Under normal circumstances, when the Xu family has guests, they will also come to her house and invite her to have dinner with her family.Today is a bit of a coincidence, I met them all, and I didn't hear what Aunt Xu said.

Arriving outside the Xu family compound, Gu Yingying found that the gate of the yard was open, so she walked over very lightly and put two bags of rice noodles at the door.

Turning around to leave, he found that Xu's big yellow dog was wagging its tail at her, completely treating her as one of his own.

When she got home, Gu Yingying didn't hear anything from her family that Xu's family had guests.

I can't help but feel curious, could it be that the honored guest who came to Xu's house this time is inconvenient to get in touch with other people?

It's just that it's not easy to ask anyone deliberately about this matter.Even after lunch, Gu Yingying went to the forest alone, and met some folks on the way.But she just greeted politely and didn't say much.

night.

Gu Yingying was arranging medicinal materials in the miscellaneous room by the light of the lantern.

There are many hawthorn fruits in the forest, which are red and very beautiful.

She only tasted two of them, they were sour and sweet, and she picked some fruits from those trees, put them in a small medicine basket and carried them back.

I picked out some good fruits overnight, walked into the kitchen, found some rock sugar and sesame seeds, and started to make rock candied haws.

As for the dandelions dug in the forest, put them in a dustpan early in the morning and take them out to dry in the sun.At that time, prepare some dandelion flower tea for parents, and it will come in handy next summer.

After half an hour.

Gu Yingying took the prepared candied haws and walked to the door of Gu Qingfeng's room.

Even though the lights in the room were turned off, she could still hear the sighs.I vaguely heard my mother saying, "What a wonderful son, what a reassuring person, I was delayed like this..."

I stood at the door and thought for a while, but I couldn't figure out who the mother was talking about.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly, and soon heard Qin's voice: "Ying'er, are you still awake?"

"Mother, I'll go to rest later." Gu Yingying replied with a smile.

Soon the lights in the room were turned on, and the door was opened by Qin Shi.

As soon as Mrs. Qin saw it, the hawthorn fruits on the dinner plate were all hung with syrup, which were crystal clear and looked like little red lanterns.Very festive.

I couldn't help but picked up a small bunch and tasted it.

Gu Yingying held the tray and put it on the small wooden table for Qin and the others.He turned around and left, and sent a plate to Mrs. Zhu.

It was found that Mrs. Zhu hadn't rested yet, the oil lamp was lit in the room, and she was still sitting in front of the bed making clothes.

There was pity in Gu Yingying's eyes, if the original owner didn't cause these troubles, I'm afraid the second sister-in-law wouldn't have to work so hard.During the day, he was busy doing field work and feeding the animals.

The three meals a day are also prepared by the second sister-in-law.

After finally finishing my work, when I can rest, I am still busy making a double-breasted robe for my second brother.Ask someone to take it to my second brother another day, for fear that he will freeze.

Zhu Shi smiled apologetically at Gu Yingying, and said:
"I'll sew for a while, and it will be finished. You put it here first, and I'll eat it later. Heh, I can already smell the fragrance, and it looks good too."

Gu Yingying complied.

But before he opened the door and left the room, he couldn't help asking Zhu Shi:
"Second sister-in-law, if you and my second brother have never had a marriage contract, and your father and my father don't have much friendship, they are just fellow villagers. In this case, if someone goes to your house to propose marriage for my second brother, you will agree Is it?"

Mrs. Zhu smiled shyly, "My daughter's family, how can there be any reason to choose by yourself? When someone comes to ask, I will listen to the opinions of my parents. If they agree, I will marry. Parents will never treat their children badly. "

"Second brother is really lucky to marry such a virtuous wife as you. It is because we take care of our family and accumulate virtue that we can become a family with such a good person like you."

Gu Yingying said sincerely.

Suddenly a warm current rose in Zhu's heart, instantly dispelling the sourness that had been accumulated in his heart for many days, and wept excitedly.

The moment Gu Yingying opened the door, Zhu Shi looked at her, and tears dripped down on her fingertips, with a warm feeling.

"Yingying, it is a blessing in my life that I can become a family with you." Zhu finally held back her tears and sincerely wished Gu Yingying, "You will marry a good family in the future, and you will have a better life." day."

Gu Yingying nodded, "I will work hard to make money, and strive to make our family live a better life."

After taking a bath and returning to the room, Gu Yingying always had the image of Zhu's tears blessing her, always feeling a little strange.

I can't help guessing in my heart, is it because Mrs. Zhu heard something about her outside that she said that?
Or, did Zhu know something long ago, but didn't tell her?
After thinking for a while, Gu Yingying didn't think of a reasonable answer.It wasn't until the next day when I woke up, washed up, and picked out some candied haws to send to the Xu family, that I heard Zhu say:

"Sister, to tell you the truth, before we had dinner yesterday, Aunt Xu came to our house to find my mother. They chatted in the cubicle for a long time, and I don't know what they were talking about. Anyway, when Aunt Xu came out, I saw The rims of her eyes are red..."

In the memory left to her by the original owner, although Aunt Xu was gentle, she seldom shed tears in front of anyone.

Gu Yingying wanted to know the real answer, but she didn't look for Mrs. Qin or Aunt Xu.Instead, after sending candied haws to Xu's house, he asked Xu Xinlan to hunt pigweed together, and asked her indirectly.
