Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 290 The Turning Point of Fate (Part [-])
"The matchmaker just collects money and runs errands to talk. Her business is on those two lips. She can talk about the dead and tell the truth. If my uncle wants to get angry with the matchmaker, he can't be angry! " Jin Xi pursed her lips and said with a smile.

Sun Yubao frowned and shook his head, then asked Guo's mother, "Brother Zhenbang doesn't know about this, right?"

Guo's mother shook her head and said: "I dare not tell him, and I am afraid that the Zhao family will find him sooner or later. That child Zhenbang looks gentle, but he is a high-minded person inside. I am worried about him. I'm so angry... No, I just want to move out, but I don't know why it doesn't make sense, so what should I do?"

It turned out that Guo's mother's eagerness to move was not only due to her bad neighbors, but also to the Zhao family.

"Don't worry, Aunt Guo, since we know about this, we won't stand by idly by. When I find Brother Zhenbang later, I will talk to him about this in private!" Sun Yubao said seriously.

Guo's mother was relieved of the things that were suppressed in her heart. Sun Yubao also promised to help her go to Guo Hai to do ideological work. The expression on Guo's mother's face was obviously much lighter.After estimating the time, he decided not to wait for Guo Hai's family to come, but to get up and go to Zhang Luo for lunch.

Sun Yubao and Jin Xi didn't intend to have lunch here, but Guo's mother tried to persuade her to stay.He said: "Leaving aside Miss Jin Xi's family, who once showed kindness to us, Brother Yubao, you and my family Zhenbang have such a friendship, no matter what, come over here, no matter how rough and light the food is, you have to stay for a while!"

"Brother Yubao, Miss Jinxi, I dug some wild wormwood in the field behind yesterday, and I still have some glutinous rice flour left over from the Dragon Boat Festival at home. I will knead the wormwood for you. That's the usual rainy season in our mountains. You can cook and eat!" Mother Guo said excitedly.

Sun Yubao and Jin Xi had no choice but to stay.

"Then I'll go outside and talk to Ah Cai and Ah Wang, and see if I can meet Brother Zhenbang by the way." Sun Yubao said, got up and opened the door to go outside.

"Aunt Guo, I'll cook for you," Jin Xi said.

"No, no, no, why bother you, besides, your legs and feet are not well yet." Guo Mu said.

"Then I'll help you stuff the firewood. When I'm at home, I often help my mother do this too." Jin Xi said.

Mother Guo smiled and watched as Jinxi got up and came towards her. She took two quick steps, picked up an apron on a wooden shelf at the corner of the wall, and tied it to Jinxi, and then the two chatted and laughed. The room on the right.

The small courtyard where Guo's mother and son lived consisted of two small houses. The one where Guo's mother lived was divided into a small kitchen less than ten square meters in front. There is a small pot on the small pot table. The water for cooking, cooking and drinking, as well as the water for washing and bathing, are probably all from this small pot.

Guo's mother was very happy to be able to keep her son's friends to have a light meal at home.Pick wild artemisia seeds there, wash and chop them, mix them into glutinous rice flour, sprinkle salt and water into them while kneading them, and then put them aside to let them ferment for a while.

Here, under Jin Xi's reminder, Guo's mother began to come to the pile of things piled up in the corner, which were just moved into the house by A Wang and A Cai.Guo's mother has been busy talking with Jin Xi and Sun Yubao, so she really didn't pay much attention.

Now, when she saw these things in front of her, she was completely stunned.Put the two bags of rice and wheat flour that Jinxi and the others brought over on the bed, because in this room, the bed where Guo's mother sleeps is relatively dry.

"Miss Jinxi, it's really costly for you to come here!" Mother Guo's eyes were red when she saw the two big bags of rice and wheat flour. With these two big bags of rations, their mother and child would not have to be hungry for two months Stomach.

"The rice and wheat core flour are grown at home, and I didn't spend money to buy them outside. Aunt Guo, look at these again." Jin Xi said, removing the red cloth covering the two bamboo baskets, revealing Show the things inside to Guo's mother.

A basket contained various snacks, snacks and supplements, as well as two sections of summer cloth.The Tianshuiqing one is for Guo Hai at first glance, while the sapphire blue material below is very calm and atmospheric, which is very suitable for Guo's mother.

In another bamboo bamboo basket, there were two boxes of rice cakes, four tubes of dried noodles, two catties of pork belly, a three catties of big silver carp, and some seasonal fruits and vegetables.

"My God, you guys are..." Mother Guo was so surprised that she couldn't speak, she turned to Jin Xi and said, "These things are too expensive, we can't accept them! If Zhenbang comes back, I know I'll take them and send them to you." With so many things coming, you will definitely be unhappy, and you will definitely send them over!"

"Aunt Guo, don't think too much, we're not here to help you. Well, we're here to give gifts, congratulations on your housewarming!" Jin Xi said with a slight smile.

"Gifts?" Guo's mother was stunned, the Guo family and the Liang family were not related...

"Brother Zhenbang and my uncle have a rare affinity. Your mother and son are also destined to be with my family. Our two families will walk around a lot in the future. Isn't this how relatives move around, getting closer?" Jin Xi said with a smile.

"Miss Jinxi, you, you, let me tell you what to say!" Guo's mother was so moved that she couldn't continue, she covered her mouth and turned her face away, her eyes were red, and big tears fell straight down.

"Then don't say anything, hurry up and make a rake for us guys? I can't wait!" Jin Xi joked with her lips pursed.

"Being relatives with your family is our top priority. I only hope that Zhenbang can study hard and earn a career in the future, so that he can repay your family's care today!" Guo's mother murmured in her heart, over there, Jin Xi I couldn't stand any longer, and I had already sat back at the door of the stove, and started to light the fire with firewood.

The fire gradually rose from the stove, imprinting Jin Xi's delicate face, bright and clear eyes, slightly raised corners of her mouth, and a demure and gentle smile on her face.

Blessed are the sisters of the Sun family, who have raised a good girl!Guo's mother looked at Jin Xi with warm eyes, turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, bent over and took out the pork belly and big silver carp from the basket, and said happily: "Auntie will cook you two hard dishes at noon."

Jin Xi hurriedly got up and stopped Guo's mother, refusing to let her cook the meat and fish. The two entangled for a long time, and finally Guo's mother was defeated.Jin Xi only asked her to move those vegetables and cook them some authentic mountain food.

Soon, there was the sound of pots and pans in the small kitchen, Mother Guo and Jin Xi were talking and laughing as they put one pot on and one down the other.After getting along, Jin Xi discovers that Guo's mother actually likes to talk, and what she likes to talk about most is her son Guo Hai's childhood.

Jin Xi was putting on firewood while smiling, listening with gusto.

"Zhenbang must have told you two that our hometown is in Guojia Village in Sishan'ao." Guo's mother dipped a little oil on the dried loofah pulp, brushed it next to the edge of the pot, and put the kneaded artemisia cakes one by one. Stick it on the edge of the pot, then cover the pot and wait.

"I know Sishan Col. There are two hills separated from Sunjiagou where Ga Po's house is." Jin Xi added a handful of firewood and raised her head.

Mother Guo smiled and nodded, and continued: "Zhenbang is a posthumous child. His father died before he was born. Our orphans and widows live in Sishanao, and we have always lived by Zhenbang's uncle. Zhenbang was three years old. At that time, an old gentleman came to the village with a few servants. Everyone didn’t know the origin of the old gentleman, but they only heard that he was an official who had returned from his old age.”

"People in the village say that he is knowledgeable. During the Chinese New Year, the old man posted couplets in front of his house. The words on them are very beautiful." Turn it over, pour a little water, cover the pot again and continue to simmer.

"There is no private school in the village. The big guys depend on the surrounding mountains for food and shelter all their lives, and no one thinks about studying. The old man was in a panic and told Li Zhengna that he wanted to educate the five-year-old children in the village. They were all summoned to his home to teach the children how to read and write."

"This is a good thing!" Jin Xi said.

"Hey, it's a wish to leave it outside, but in our deep mountains and old forests, there are too many people whose ancestors have never been out of the mountains for generations. You say that teaching children to farm and dig the ground, and hunt wild boars to tie rabbits, the villagers are happy, and they can read and write? They But I didn’t even think about seeking fame! On the contrary, I still feel that the child’s cattle herding will be delayed!” Guo’s mother shook her head and said.

Jin Xi suddenly nodded, that's true, because of the differences in regions, the common people's thoughts and ideas are also different.In Jinjishan Village, the old Mr. Yang in the private school is a rare species!The old Liang family straightened their backs because of Liang Lihui, a talented man!
Guo's mother paused at this point, like all mothers, with pride and pride in her eyes, and said: "When Zhenbang was three years old, he always liked to run to the old man's house. Goose song! At that time, I thought that Zhenbang was still young and couldn’t do any farm work, so I just let him play. When he was five years old, Zhenbang could write a lot of characters on the ground with tree branches. The old gentleman also found me and Zhenbang's uncle, saying that this kid is a good young man for learning! He persuaded us to let Zhenbang study with him! If you don't stop studying, don't worry about pens, inks, papers and inkstones!"

"Zhenbang's uncle didn't say anything bad, and I didn't have any opinions as a woman, so I just let him go! In this way, Zhenbang formally followed that old gentleman from the age of five until he was ten years old. Bang loves it very much, and Zhenbang almost lives in his teacher's house. The old man said that our Zhenbang is a good material, and we must carve it well. His uncle and aunt heard that there was a Wenqu star in their family, and they did not force Zhenbang. Go down to work."

"The knowledge of my family Zhenbang was taught by that old gentleman. My family Zhenbang used to have a pet name of a cat and a dog, and the old gentleman changed the name. The surname is Guo, the first name is Hai, and the name is Zhenbang."

Inclusive of all rivers and rivers, revitalize the country!Jin Xi messed up the name a lot.

Just from this name, one can see that the old gentleman who returned from his old age admired Guo Hai very much and placed great hopes on him.

"The old man said that when Zhenbang is 15 years old, he will take him out of the mountain and guide him to participate in the scientific examination." When Guo's mother said this, she suddenly stopped, her expression darkened.

Jin Xi raised her eyes, knowing that the turning point of fate had arrived.
