The rough man from the countryside dotes on him silently, but his beloved wife is reborn and strives

Chapter 15
Mrs. Gu was the first to speak, her voice was very low, "Chengzi, where did you get so many iron thermoses?"

Gu Xiaomei and Liu Fangfang also looked at Gu Liangcheng at the same time.

Liu Fangfang knew that the iron thermos kettle at this time was not only difficult to obtain.

That requires industrial tickets. It is difficult for rural people to get industrial tickets. They also have to check whether the supply and marketing cooperatives sell them. Half of the supply and marketing cooperatives cannot get a few, so they have to go to the county to buy them.

"Brother Zhao got it from there. I only got this much. I won't have any more. Mom, I will keep one at home and I will sell the rest."

He got one back home before. Xiaobao needs to drink milk powder and cannot boil water in time. It is inconvenient to get up in the middle of the night without a kettle.

"123456789...18, 19, 20...Wow, twenty, brother, how much does it cost?"

Gu Xiaomei couldn't help but stretched out her hand and counted them one by one.

Gu Liangcheng didn't answer, but asked his sister to help carry the thermos to the west room, put it next to the kang, took out one and closed the lid.

The thermos has always been placed on the floor outside the house, but now it is better. With two thermoses at home, one can be placed in each room.

In the evening, Mrs. Gu stewed pig's trotters and soybeans, but Miss Gu was angry that Feng Jiayao left without saying hello, and even Heizi didn't call, so the family ate.

But knowing that Liu Fangfang was a little tired of eating pig trotters, she fried another plate of shredded potatoes for her.

When Liu Fangfang looked at her mother-in-law, who cared so much for her, her eyes were sore and she almost cried.

Her mother-in-law treats her much better than her mother.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Gu sighed and asked Gu Liangcheng, "Chengzi, did you go to the health center to see your cousin when you went to the commune? How is she?"

While eating, Gu Liangcheng said, "It's much better!" After saying that, he quickly caught the chopsticks that his son almost dropped.

Xiaobao sat obediently against his mother and ate whatever was given to him with his mouth open. If he had something to eat, he would be coaxed.

"Sigh... It would be nice if we didn't continue to make trouble about committing suicide. That kid is also stubborn."

"Oh Mom, you don't know who my cousin is. Just watch her. She has to struggle to regain her strength when she comes back from the hospital! She is spoiled by my aunt!" Gu Xiaomei took a bite of the big pancake and said inarticulately, Don’t forget to pick up some shredded potatoes with chopsticks.

"You kid, don't talk nonsense..."

After all, there is no shortage of food and drink. People who live in the environment of this era will not leave any food behind after a meal.

Gu Liangcheng and his wife had just returned to the house and were thinking of going out to buy a kettle from someone else's house when the door was pushed open with a bang, followed by Mrs. Gu's sarcastic shouting.

"Liang Dajuan, do you think you can leave us alone after my son is dead? There is no way! Come out quickly. I told you to go home and you didn't go, but you actually fell asleep?"

Liu Fangfang quickly put her son on the kang and raised her head.

"Don't worry, my mother will take care of it!" Gu Liangcheng stopped her.

"But I heard, there seems to be someone coming from behind!" Liu Fangfang pointed to the yard.

"This black light must have been accompanied by the third uncle and the third aunt!"

Gu Liangcheng knew Men Erqing well. His grandma didn't dare to walk at night, so how could she come here alone. "Kawako came during the day and said that grandpa asked mom to come over and the pension money should be given." Liu Fangfang told her husband what happened today, so that he would have peace of mind.

In fact, things like this happened every few days when Mrs. Gu came to her house to search her house. On the day of their wedding, the old lady even came over to search her house after dark.

When the two of them whispered a few words, Mrs. Gu and Xiaomei Gu ran out.

Their house has two rooms, the east and the west. The space in the middle is quite large, where the dining table is usually placed, and the kitchen is located in the back.

Gu Liangcheng gave Liu Fangfang a reassuring look and then left the room.

Liu Fangfang was afraid that her son would be frightened by her grandma's shouting, so she covered his ears with her hands and teased him.

In the outhouse, as soon as Mrs. Gu came out, Mrs. Gu started to speak even more harshly.

"Liang Dajuan, you are not filial to your parents-in-law. You don't care about your parents-in-law's life after a man dies. You know that your father-in-law will not survive even if he is ill. Are you afraid of paying the medical expenses?"

"Dad is sick? Kawako didn't say that Dad was sick when he came over! He only said that the pension money should be given! Mom, we have given the pension money this month, so what else should we give? Kawako always likes to make this kind of joke with us, We didn’t take it seriously!”

When Mrs. Gu heard that the old man was ill, she suppressed her rising temper and softened her tone a lot.

"Humph, Kawako said that as soon as he mentioned that we asked you to go back, you would beat him out with a broom!"

Mrs. Gu refused to give up.

"Okay, Mom, I didn't know dad was sick! How is he doing now? Have you sent dad to the health center?" Mrs. Gu was still good-tempered.

But Mrs. Gu's eyes dodged when she heard this, and Wang Cuihua hurriedly ran in: "Sister-in-law, we have no money, how can we send it to the health center? Didn't I come to you when I was in a hurry? We agreed at the beginning Yes, we will take care of your parents, and if you are sick, the three families will take care of you together!"

However, Mrs. Gu had already seen through their trick. This was not the first time that this happened. She asked Mrs. Gu, "How is dad doing now? Chengzi, let's go see your grandpa!"

Old Mrs. Gu was anxious and blocked the door with her hands. "You just need to pay us! 50 yuan, and we will take the old man to see a doctor ourselves!"

"Grandma, is it 50 yuan for three families? Grandpa is so serious? What kind of disease is it? This can't be delayed! Brother, go to the brigade leader's house to borrow a carriage...ah, no, the horses have been sold, so we can only use bicycles to carry them Grandpa has gone to the health center!" Gu Xiaomei has long been a drama star playing opposite her mother, so she urged her to take part.

"I said, what's the matter with your child? Your grandfather has a chronic problem, don't worry, we can just take him to the health center later. How can your third uncle's family have any money? Besides, they are serving us two elders to eat, drink and defecate. Do you still need them to pay if you get sick? Just you two will pay for it!" Mrs. Gu said matter-of-factly.

"Mom, it's true that the third brother's family takes care of you, the second brother, but the five yuan a month pension money my second brother's family and I have is enough for you and the third brother's family, right? What's the matter? They don't need to take care of you when you're sick? Why don't you still Don't tell me, I just gave you pension money, and you can't find a penny on your body, and I won't even be able to give you the pension money next month! Do whatever you want!"

After Mrs. Gu said that, she turned around and went back to the house, not wanting to pay attention to these best people anymore.

She comes here asking for money every now and then, do you think she runs a bank here?

"That's right, I don't even have the money to go to school! Grandma, please be fair! Stop squeezing us for the sake of my third uncle's family! I think grandpa is very good. Didn't he make a lot of noise at the brigade headquarters yesterday? "

Gu Xiaomei's eloquence is as good as Mrs. Gu's. She can speak loudly and fiercely, and she will not let others bully her.

Old Mrs. Gu turned her eyes and looked at the West House. Then, when Mrs. Gu wasn't paying attention, she ran to Liu Fangfang's room in the West House, shouting, "You have no money, old lady, I'm going with my granddaughter-in-law from the city! Girls from the city." There must be money on him!”
