Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 36 Try Tantan
This day lasted until mid-afternoon (around four o'clock in the afternoon), under the sunshine, and before sunset, Zhou Banxia and Gu Wenxuan brought the return gifts and reviewed home.

It's not too far from Zhou's house in the center of Hexi to Gu's house at the entrance of Hedong village. If you take a shortcut and cross the bridge, it only takes about a quarter of an hour to walk.

At dusk, the smoke from the cooking pots rose again, and there were not many pedestrians on the village road. Some of them were saying hello and chatting, and they were all hurrying home.

When we arrived at Gu's house, it was very unusual for her to have dinner before dark, but it was almost there. She just waited for Mrs. Gu to call for dinner.

The oxcart that carried Gu Silang and his wife home this morning has returned. One of them, one behind the other, is going to the kitchen in the southeast corner, and the other is walking up the steps of the main room.

Look good!
Gu Wenxuan deliberately shouted "Grandma", he and his wife were back, and then called "Dad" and "Mom", "We are back", then he walked towards the east wing with the return gift.

Zhou Banxia, ​​who was one step behind, could not help but laugh and count one, two, three silently. Before he could count to fifteen, and before he could catch up with Gu Wenxuan, Mrs. Gu had already rushed out of the main room.

"Where?"

"Go back to the house."

Zhou Banxia put the baggage she was carrying on the ground until she finished the ceremony. To her surprise, she didn't hear Mrs. Gu scolding her grandson. It was a little different from what she had imagined.

"Why do you return the gift? The in-laws are so polite." Mrs. Gu looked at the things her grandson was carrying, but she didn't notice that there was a big baggage at her grandson's feet.

If you are neither deaf nor blind, you are not worthy of being in charge. It is very kind to have so many gifts in return.She is such an open-minded grandmother, who is like the unkind old woman from the old Zhou family.

"Then shall I send it back?"

"You..." Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth and swallowed the word "Plagued Calf", "Have you eaten?"

"I just came back from eating." Seeing his mother coming out of the kitchen in the southeast corner, Gu Wenxuan couldn't keep the flames off, "I said too much. Before I left, my father-in-law and mother-in-law saw that I didn't want to carry it, so they insisted on bringing it. It’s really hard to refuse anymore.”

"Okay. What are you waiting for? Dinner is ready, go and eat your food. After eating, you can help Nai carry the things to the main room. Rokuro's wife, you are not busy today, so go back to the house to rest."

It seems that the old lady does not have high requirements for her grandson-in-law.It also allowed her to go back to her room and rest quickly. Although it hinted that she would have to work hard starting tomorrow, it was already good.

She is not afraid of anything, except that she is afraid that her elders will yell, curse, and roll around, which will make her really unable to help but beat them.That's good, everyone is decent and easy to get along with.

Seeing Ms. Liu smiling and nodding, she told her to just go back to her room. Even Xiao Baoya blinked her eyes. After Zhou Banxia understood and saluted, she picked up her bags and went back to her room.

Pushing the door open and going in, a pair of Gu Wenxuan's cloth shoes were still placed in the middle of the aisle before going out. It can be seen that she and her mother-in-law didn't even come in after they went out, so they were very particular.

Putting the cloth shoes back in the corner and laying them out, he carried the baggage and walked to the base cabinet. He put down the baggage and untied it, and then put the three or five books inside into the cabinet.

She picked two more pastries and candied fruits and put them aside for return gifts. She planned to wait until Mrs. Liu and the others returned to the room after dinner to send them to her, and then she started to add firewood to the earthen stove.

This job is not difficult for those who know it, but it is difficult for those who don't know how to do it.

Fortunately, the kang was used in the extremely cold weather in the past few years. Otherwise, she, a southern girl, would have been blinded by having to cook such an earthen stove with a kang.

If you just carry the gift in return to the upper room, why haven't you come back?You have to know a lot of important things, but she held it back for three days without mentioning a word!
After waiting for a long time and no one was there, Zhou Banxia simply opened the red envelope of the tea gift purse that was still there.

The old lady gave her one hundred coins, the big room fifty coins, the third and fourth bedrooms fifty coins each.Fairness is really fair.

No matter what kind of greeting gift the new daughter-in-law gives, except that Gu Dalang's daughter-in-law is the eldest grandson and has special treatment, they are all of this amount.

When I opened the other two purses, my father-in-law and mother-in-law gave me too much. Each purse contained two cents of silver, and the total amount was at least five taels of silver.

After opening the hundreds of red envelopes I received in the past three days, let alone getting married and getting rich, among the men in the Gu family who married their wives, Liu Lang was the richest!

Taking out the money box, Zhou Banxia secretly put all the red envelopes in her purse into it, then wrapped other people's gift cloths and put them into the kangqin cabinet, and took out her old winter clothes.

You wouldn't know it until you entered the house, but you discovered two days ago that Gu Wenxuan only had one set of winter clothes that could be worn, and the other winter clothes were all patched, but fortunately they were still thick.

According to him, his father also sells furs in private. It's not that he doesn't have the money to make a new coat, but it's just the way people from the countryside come here, wearing fur coats at most.

There must be more than just this reason, it is also the reason why the family has not been separated. The parents-in-law have a guilty conscience and make do with letting their son have a pair of clothes for going out to avoid being caught and confiscated.

If that were the case, now that we were getting married and my daughter-in-law did it, I would have nothing to say.To be honest, she really wanted to try the attitude of the two elders and explore their thoughts like Xuanzi.

If you touch the patched winter coat again, you will know whether it hurts the child or not. The cotton inside last year's winter coat is still quite soft when you hold it, so there is no need to remove it.

"If you ask me, it's better to be close to Yue's family, and even save this meal. Liulang, tell everyone how your father-in-law entertained you when you come back today."

Gu Wenxuan carried the return gift to the east room of the upper room. There were things placed on the kang between Mr. Gu and his wife. It looked like a return gift brought back by Gu Silang and his wife.

After putting things away and coming out, the old and young men in the main room also started to have dinner.The food looked pretty good, it was actually two rice dishes and stewed pork vermicelli.

But good food should only last for these three days, and it will definitely be the same after tonight.He didn't want to stay any longer, but he couldn't help being kept anyway, intentionally or unintentionally.

"...Invited the clan leader and the others..." As for being left to have a dinner, it was actually a reunion dinner as his father-in-law said, but Gu Wenxuan didn't mention a word about it.

On the spot, he briefly talked about how the Yue family warmly welcomed him and his wife back home. It was just a village anyway, so if you didn't tell anyone, you wouldn't have to wait until tomorrow night to find out.

As for whether it would make Dafang unhappy, that was not considered.Shiro and his wife are cousins, and there is such an uncle with a mental problem?

It's strange that they don't want to step on his wife for their niece. Otherwise, they wouldn't have toasted and praised their niece for growing up and learning to spin and weave.

It seemed that his daughter-in-law who was sold as a maid was not as high-born as their three nephews and daughters-in-law. Even the elder man's daughter-in-law was a daughter of a Tongsheng family.

He doesn't know anything, as his father said, and he is looking down upon himself by arguing with an ignorant idiot! "...I also said that if I want to treat Dad, you have time to drink two cups."

"Okay!" As soon as the old son finished speaking, Gu Erzhu said with a smile, "Uncle Ma also said that the three of us will get together later. I'm full, Dad, you--"

"Why are you so anxious!" Mr. Gu interrupted quickly, "Have you eaten? You three brothers, and the few of you who are married, come into the house with me."
