Chapter 153 specifically mentions

"All the cousins ​​of the uncle's family are married, and the five cousins ​​of the third uncle's family, of which the eldest cousin also married last year, and the remaining four cousins,
One is about fifteen years old this year, one is less than 12 years old, and the other two are ten years old and eighteen years old. If there is no accident, I guess it will be the second cousin of the third uncle's family. "

Gu Yan thought over the cousins ​​and cousins ​​of his uncle's family in his hometown, and combined with the marriage situation of cousins ​​mentioned in letters from his hometown in recent years,
It has been more or less determined who will be sent to Ancheng from his hometown to take care of his mother and son Gu Heng at his home.

But there is an accident, if his two aunts get involved, it's really hard to say who will come to Ancheng in the end.

In Gu Yan's memory, the aunt had three sons and a daughter. Since the daughter was the youngest and had several years of age difference with the above three sons, the aunt's family raised this daughter up on a daily basis.

Two years ago, when I went back to my hometown, the cousin of the aunt’s family was twelve or thirteen years old, and the eldest cousin of the sister-in-law’s family and the second cousin of the third uncle’s family. The ages of the three girls were only different by month.

In other words, the three little girls were born in the same year.

However, in his impression, the cousin of the aunt's family is really squeamish, she is obviously a peasant girl, but she doesn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers, and she has no eyesight when visiting relatives at her natal family, and she doesn't know how to help the elders serve it on the table. Meals are just waiting to be eaten.

He didn't want to invite such an aunt to his home. Maybe at that time, instead of helping him take care of the old and the young, the family would have to offer her as an ancestor.

If so, could it be that he was too full to eat?
Speaking of the eldest cousin of my sister-in-law's family, that girl is diligent in her hands and feet, and she has work in her eyes, but when she opens her mouth and doesn't relax, her mother likes to be quiet. With such a person by her side, it's nothing for a short time, but after a long time , His mother will definitely not be able to stand it.

The most important point is the temper of the big cousin of the little girl, she is like a cannonball, she explodes at the slightest touch, and likes to pick the tip of everything, and when she visits a relative at her mother's house, she can even pick up with her cousin because of a word of disagreement .

With the comparison, Gu Yan naturally likes the second cousin of the third uncle's family to come to Ancheng to take care of the old and the young at home.

Because the seven members of the third uncle's family are honest people who work quickly and don't talk much.

There is no separation in the hometown, the first room and the third room, and the two old people eat in the same pot.

Compared with the cousin, Gu Yan felt that the cousin was closer, and the cousin of the big house was married, and the family wanted to arrange for the girls to come to Ancheng, so the third room was perfect.

Gu Yan thought so, to be honest, he also wanted to help third uncle's house.

The peasant family does not have a son to support the family, and they will be called extinct households either explicitly or secretly.

What Gu Yan remembers most about her third uncle is that she keeps her head down wherever she goes, as if her back will never be straight.

"The children of your third uncle's family are all good. If the second girl from your third uncle's family really comes to our house, Mom thinks it's very good."

Although Gu's mother didn't go back to her old Gu's house many times, she did have a good eye for seeing people. In her hometown, the two sisters-in-law, the elder sister-in-law was capable and pungent,
But they also hide a lot of careful thoughts. The third younger siblings are dull and honest, and they have nothing to say about their work, but they just know how to work hard, and they have been suppressed by their sister-in-law for many years.

For example, after finishing the work in the field, you have to go around the pot and stove when you get home.

In addition, after marrying into the old Gu's family and giving birth to five daughters in succession, she felt that she could not hold her head up in front of others, and undoubtedly did not have any right to speak in front of the whole family.

Sometimes Gu's mother couldn't help thinking, if she didn't work in Ancheng with her lover, but lived in the big courtyard of her hometown with the eldest and third bedrooms,

As for the fact that she hasn't given birth to a son and a half for the old Gu's family for many years, whether she will be chewed by the villagers, even worse than the third wife who can only give birth to daughters.

But there is no such thing in the world. She was originally a young lady from a rich family, and she went to a foreign school and a medical school. Later, she struggled for her faith. This has already determined that she will have a different life from her sisters-in-law in her hometown.

But the saddest thing in her life is that during the war years, all her relatives were killed. In other words, in this world, she no longer has a family member.

Of course, she is lucky to have a true lover, even if the lover left her suddenly like her family, but she still has a son, a son who is so outstanding.

Although not his own life, it is better than his own life.

And because before officially working in Ancheng, she and her lover fought against the enemy for their beliefs, and never returned to her lover's hometown. Under such circumstances,

When they first came to work in Ancheng, they adopted their son Yanyan by accident. When they took their son back to their hometown to visit relatives, the people in their hometown only thought that the son was born to them, and no one was gossiping about the ears of the three members of their family.

In his lover's words, it doesn't matter if he is born or not, as long as he was brought up by them, he is their own son!
What's more, since ancient times, how many parents raised their sons and daughters to the end, and raised white-eyed wolves.

This shows that one's own is not necessarily a good one.

"I specifically mentioned the second cousin of the third uncle's family in the letter to my grandma. When the letter is received from my hometown, if the aunt and sister-in-law don't mix up, the second cousin of the third uncle's family will definitely come to us. Family."

This is what Gu Yan deliberately explained in the letter to avoid trouble, but even so, Gu Yan has no idea in his heart. After all, in the face of interests, in today's situation, people in his hometown probably don't want to fight. a handful.
-
Pro province.

Xiaogang Village.

This village is surrounded by mountains. Well, to be precise, the town and even the county seat of Xiaogang Village are surrounded by mountains, but the terrain where the county seat is located is fairly flat.

It has been nearly half a month since Gu Yan sent the letters and packages. In the afternoon of this day, all the old Gu family members in Xiaogang Village were very happy.

"Grandpa, let me open this package!"

Looking at the big package on the ground, Gu Ren turned his gaze to the old man with the highest status in the family.

He went to the town post office to pick up the package after work at noon. He knew that the things in the package were bought by his second aunt for his grandma, but he was able to open the package with his own hands and enjoy the sight of those good things. .

Grandpa Gu sat on the kang, took a breath of dry cigarettes, and said "um".

With permission, Gu Ren quickly cut the package with scissors without saying a word.

After taking out the same thing, there were two "tsk tsk" in my heart, and the other Gu family members gathered in the room of Grandpa and Grandma Gu looked at the things that Gu Ren took out one by one, their eyes were all straightened.

Cloth, malted milk, white sugar, brown sugar, malted milk, soap, military cotton shoes...

The people in the room were dazzled by it.

"The second family has a heart!"

When Grandma Gu's eyes fell on the things piled up on the side of the kang, she sighed: "My second child has been gone for six or seven years, and the second child's family not only sent us pension money every month,

Every few months, she often sends us these food items at home. She is a woman and her health is not good.
