Chapter 49
On the first day my aunt went there, because she was too tired to work in the maintenance shop, she made a fuss that day. As a result, Song Gang first dragged him into the backyard and beat him up, and then threw him into the small dark room.Said to let him reflect on himself, and regardless of the sound of his little uncle crying and howling, he should do whatever he should do as soon as he locks the door.

Song Gang's storefront is on another main road in the county, not very far from the People's Hospital, and it takes only ten minutes to walk there.This shop is a small two-story building, the lower part is used as the facade, the upper part is for people to live in, and it also has a not too big backyard.This shop was purchased by Gu's father for more than 2 yuan, and it was used as a dowry for my sister-in-law.

When Papa Gu took Song Gang to see the shop, he told him that it was a dowry for his sister-in-law. Song Gang was just surprised at the time, but he didn't show any pretense, and accepted it with a calm expression.He was not surprised in his heart, and he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. There must be pressure.But he felt in his heart that if he expressed his determination now, not only would his brother-in-law not believe it in the future, but even he himself would not believe it.So it's better to show your attitude with practical actions, live a good life with your lover in the future, work hard, and provide a comfortable living environment for your wife and children, which is better than any verbal guarantees.

Papa Gu also thought so, so he said: "You don't need to feel pressure in your heart, and I have no other intentions. I bought this shop so that you and my little sister can have a profitable business and live a stable life. I I don't want your guarantee, as long as you can treat my little sister well in the future."

Song Gang didn't say anything, but just nodded his head, agreeing to Papa Gu.

……

After the Chinese New Year, the days began to pass quickly, and it was the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.According to the customs of County S, after today, the year is considered to be completely over. Everyone should start working, and go to school, and the days will start to get busy.

Eldest brother Gu Qin is in the third year of high school, so he went to school after the fifth day of the fifth day, and judging by the school's posture, it seems that there will be no holidays for the next two months, and he must make up for this week's annual leave.So this Lantern Festival is destined to be spent at school.However, the children in this area are very happy, because according to the custom of S County, on the day of Lantern Festival, children will carry lanterns and take pictures in every corner of the house, which means that Gu Xiaolan can't remember clearly, only knows This habit has been handed down.

The reason why children are happy is that they can light candles at will on this night without being scolded by their parents.You can also run around with all kinds of lanterns, and you can get together and compare to see whose lantern is the best.Basically, people with better conditions will go to the market to spend money to buy that kind of lanterns that are made into various kinds, and those with poor conditions simply paste them by themselves. Gu Xiaolan remembers that after his parents divorced, he bought lanterns out of distress. For the few dollars I spent, I made a simple version of the lantern out of a wine box.I was laughed at because of this, and I was actually quite inferior at that time.

But thinking about it now, I find it really funny. It’s just a lantern, and making it yourself has more meaning than buying it with money. It’s also a good childhood memory.

It's just that today I don't have the mood to make a meaningful lantern for myself, because Papa Gu is not at home.As for the reason, it was because this guy didn't know what was going on these days, but he became obsessed with playing mahjong with others, a very "money-promising" profession.She doesn't object to her parents having their own hobbies, nor does she object to using such a method to pass the free time, but the addictive game of forgetting to eat and sleep really makes her unable to support it.

It's past nine o'clock now, and Dad Gu hasn't come back yet.After eating at 10:30 noon, I haven’t come back until now. I even forgot to eat at night after playing. This is really, really good!

Gu Xiaolan gritted his teeth, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: Dad, this time you are dead!
Gu's father came back at 10:30 in the evening. Gu's mother, who had been holding her breath all night, quarreled with him with a blue face. She was afraid of disturbing Gu Xiaolan and Grandma Gu, so her voice was very depressed. Although Xiaolan couldn't hear what the two of them said clearly, she could hear the fury in Gu Mama's tone.

Basically, living at home, no wife would be willing to see her husband gambling so much, no matter how small the amount of gambling is, it is still gambling.Now you can still get one cent and two cents, one cent and two cents, and when you become ambitious in the future, who knows how much you will bet?What's more, gambling is addictive, and once addicted, it's over.How many happy families have been ruined because of this, so it's no wonder Gu's mother is not angry when she sees Gu's father playing mahjong with others regardless of day and night.

In fact, Dad Gu is not addicted, but the novelty of learning to play mahjong for the first time has not passed. In addition, because he is busy recently, he hired two temporary workers to help in the greenhouse. In addition to the original workers, there are five. Talking about business with people, soliciting business, is completely idle.When this person is free, he just wants to have some fun, plus Gu's father went to Lin County to discuss business a few days ago, the manager of the restaurant has no other interests, he just likes to play mahjong with others.He wants to play mahjong with Dad Gu, and Dad Gu also understands that this is a way for the other party to benefit from him, but he can't. Fortunately, their food is the only one in this area and can be supplied all year round. The business might be ruined.

This is also the main reason why Dad Gu is so energetic playing mahjong with others.

Gu's father didn't intend to say anything at first, but seeing his wife so angry, he thought it would be better to confess to her.Otherwise, the unhappiness between husband and wife because of this incident is really not worth the loss.

So I explained to her in a low voice, and told Gu Ma what happened a few days ago, Gu Ma's face finally eased a lot, but she still disagreed with her husband's attitude of not forgetting to eat and sleep, It's not like going to college to continue your studies, you can do the same when playing mahjong, it's not because you are addicted to playing mahjong!Don't make excuses for yourself, so I said: "I know it's difficult for you to talk about business outside, and I didn't say that I won't let you play, but you should give me a little bit anyway. Who like you plays day and night non-stop Can such a person bear it?" After speaking, he glanced at Papa Gu, "Don't tell me that you are going to go out to continue after you come back to eat some food. Hmph, you are so kind to you, my God I come to you to play mahjong before the light is on, and I don’t even provide you with a meal, so you won a lot of money.”

Speaking of this, Gu's father's face flashed a trace of embarrassment. In the past few days, he has lost almost two hundred dollars playing mahjong. Although the money is nothing to him, he is not a fool. How could it be possible? Can't you see that kid colluded with someone to cheat him out of money?It is estimated that he still wants to drag himself into the water and become his long-term meal ticket.

But Gu's father didn't take advantage of him and let him slaughter him. Let him taste some sweetness first, and let him spit it out in a few days.That kid really thinks everyone else is a fool.

Gu Ma looked at Pa Gu's expression of indifference, and a burst of anger surged in her heart: "I said, don't be upset, you know better than me who you are as a kid, he is just a bastard, and he probably messed with him." He can do anything, you have to be careful when dealing with him."

For such words, Gu's father is still very willing to listen. Although he feels that Solo is a little bit, it's not bad to feel that someone cares, so instead of getting angry, he comforted Gu's mother with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, I don't worry about it. I know, just learn mahjong from him for a few days, as for the money I lost... just pay the tuition at that time."

"Anyway, as long as you know it yourself." Gu Ma ignored him and went to the kitchen to warm up food for Gu Pa.

Gu Xiaolan, who was woken up, pouted secretly, thinking: Dad is so cunning, he actually coaxed mom over with a few words, it seems that mom's skills still need to be improved.

Then he yawned and fell asleep again.

Gu Xiaolan woke up early the next morning, this time there was no need for anyone to worry about it, he just got dressed by himself.But Gu Ma and Grandma Gu are rare, especially Grandma Gu, who kept kissing the little girl and praised her again and again.Father Gu was drinking porridge on the table, and when he saw the little girl getting up, he couldn't help teasing her: "Hey, who is this, why did you get up so early? I think the sun must come out from the west today, Tsk tsk..."

Grandma Gu raised her eyebrows when she heard that, "Go and eat your food, you won't be able to block your mouth even if you eat!"

Gu Xiaolan ignored Dad Gu, trembling, went outside to brush his teeth and wash his face vigorously, and when he came back, he took his own small bowl and spoon to fill a bowl of porridge in the pot, and frowned, drinking spoonful by spoonful.This porridge is a specialty of S County. It is made from the ground wheat grains that have been ground and boiled. It smells like wheat, and the porridge is also very thick.It's just that Gu Xiaolan didn't like to eat this since he was a child, especially if it is paired with steamed buns and pancakes, it is even more annoying.

In the past, she seldom got up so early before going to school, so she didn't need to eat this. After going to school, Gu Ma cooked a bowl of noodles for her every morning to save trouble. There were soup, vegetables, salt and flavor.Usually she doesn't drink this kind of porridge. Today, in order to keep an eye on her father, she sacrificed a lot.

When Gu Ma saw her like this, she couldn't help frowning, and she couldn't hold back for a while and said: "Look at you, drinking porridge is like asking you to take poison, that's all right, if you don't like it, just put it there and stop drinking it. I'm going to make egg custard."

Gu's father even reached out and poured the bowl of porridge in front of Gu Xiaolan into his own bowl, and then started drinking again.Gu Xiaolan was also so happy that he didn't have to drink this kind of porridge anymore, and couldn't help asking Mama Gu: "I want to eat the one with shrimp in it!"

After hearing this, Gu Ma replied, "Then do you want to steam a pot of rice with bacon for you?"

Gu Xiaolan nodded hurriedly, unable to close his mouth.

Gu Ma rolled her eyes: "Look at your beauty, no!"

Gu's father laughed unkindly when he heard it, Gu Xiaolan was so angry that he didn't bother to talk to him.

After breakfast, Gu's father cleaned up and prepared to go out to continue his great plan of building the Great Wall. Gu Xiaolan immediately ran over and grabbed his clothes, looking up at him pitifully.

Gu's father frowned: "You want to follow too?"

Gu Xiaolan nodded, fearing that Papa Gu would not take her with him, he quickly wrapped his arms around Papa Gu's leg and hung on him like a koala.

In the end, Gu's father didn't hold back Gu Xiaolan, so he simply took her with him. He thought that the little girl must have no sex, and she would argue to leave when she gets bored, so she said to Gu's mother: "Wait a minute Son, you guess the time to pick up the girl."

Gu Ma nodded with a grim expression. After talking so much yesterday, this person still wants to gamble today. It is really hopeless.
