Peasant woman's day

Chapter 113

"It should be." Lao Guo nodded, and Lin had no choice but to give up after hearing this.Fu Rong wanted to get up to help her cook, but Lin pushed her back to her seat: "You don't need your help, just sit down and rest." Fu Rong had no choice but to let it go.

This lunch was enjoyable.After finishing the meal, Fu Rong helped Mrs. Lin clean up the dishes.Lin asked Song Chunhua to carry things to Uncle Gu's house.Fu Rong smiled and said, "I haven't seen Third Aunt for a long time, why don't I go over and have a look."

Furong is holding Yuanyuan, Gu Qingchen is holding Niuniu, and Song Chunhua is carrying a basket.When the surrounding villagers saw Furong's family, they all came up to tease Yuanyuan.Furong stood still and chatted with the folks.Song Chunhua suddenly touched Fu Rong with his elbow: "Aunt Liu."

Fu Rong raised her eyelids and saw not far away, Aunt Liu looked at Fu Rong, her eyes seemed to burst into flames.Because of her family's affairs, Furong didn't have time to meet Hongmian, and she didn't know what happened to Chunjuan and the others.She just glanced at it for a moment, then looked away: Chunjuan did it on her own, and she can't blame herself.

Third Aunt Guo was very happy to see Furong and the others coming over, and took out a basket of dried dates: "This is picked from the date tree behind the house. I thought you would like to eat it, so I kept it for you. The two little guys got better and better." It's getting cuter. I'll have dinner at home tonight."

"We have to rush back home, so we won't stay for dinner today. Next time we come back, we will definitely eat at Third Aunt's." Fu Rong laughed.

Third Aunt Guo nodded and stopped mentioning it.

Fu Rong walked around and went back, rested for a while, and then boarded the carriage again to go to Gu's house.As soon as their village reached the entrance of the village, they suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers and the sound of gongs and drums outside.The carriage stopped.Gu Qingchen opened the door of the carriage and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"There seems to be a happy event in front, and there are so many people around that the carriage cannot pass," said the coachman.

Gu Qingchen got out of the car, hugged Yuanyuan down, picked up Niuniu, and helped Fu Rong get out of the car.The carriage was arranged by the housekeeper of Mr. Rui's house, Gu Qingchen gave him some money, and the driver left.

Only then did the two focus their attention on the front.A line of officials came over, Gu Qingchen and the others hurriedly stepped aside.And the person who accompanied the official was obviously Mr. Zhong.Fu Rong's heart moved, and she asked in a low voice, "Did Zhong Lin win?"

As if answering her doubts, the crowd who came next to him talked a lot: "I didn't expect that Zhong's child is really good, and he even passed the examination of scholar. Then the son of Mr. Zhong's town was taught by him himself, I heard that she went to the street to tease other girls." "No, it can be considered that Mrs. Zhong has survived." "We haven't had such a scholar in our village for many years, and the last one who was a scholar was Uncle Gu."

Sure enough.Fu Rong and Gu Qingchen looked at each other, but Niuniu in Gu Qingchen's arms was not used to the sound of firecrackers, and suddenly burst into tears.The two of them didn't have time to join in the fun, so they went back to Gu's house first.

Mrs. Gu had just picked some vegetables from the backyard and came out. When she saw Furong, the basin in her hand fell to the ground with a thud, her eyes were red, and she hurriedly came up to pull Furong: "Father, third brother and the others are back! Third brother , third sibling, are you all right?"

The curtains in the room were drawn with a brush, and Mr. Gu came out leaning on a cane.Gu Qingchen hurried forward: "Father, we are back."

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" Father Gu's heart that had been worrying for so many days finally fell into his stomach, and he hurriedly shouted, "Boss, second, third are back."

Seeing your loved ones again for the rest of your life, this feeling is the easiest way to make people feel happy.The dinner was made by Fu Rong, and Boss Gu specially bought some braised meat and came back with some wine.Gu Qingchen and his father and son blushed from drinking, enjoying themselves very much.Boss Gu's tongue drank straight: "Third brother, let's drink again!"

"Sir, let's drink again tomorrow. The third brother and the others just came back and are still tired." Aunt Gu persuaded.

Old man Gu put down his wine glass and picked up his rice bowl: "What the eldest daughter-in-law said is that we will have a drink tomorrow. The third son, the third daughter-in-law, come and eat the vegetables."

Gu Qingchen complied, and everyone ate their meals, then gathered in the room to talk.Old Gu asked carefully what happened to Fu Rong and Gu Qingchen that day.

Gu Qingchen and his wife had already discussed it, and neither of them revealed Yuanyuan's identity. They only said that the traffickers from last time might have some background, so they asked Master Song for help, and Mr. Rui sent them to prison to protect them.It's all fine now.The second sister-in-law Gu frowned, turned around and went out.

Furong was a little surprised when she saw Gu Ersao's attitude.After they left, Gu Simei pulled Fu Rong's clothes, and Fu Rong followed her into the house.The second sister-in-law Gu said: "Something happened to the dealer, and the business of the eldest brother and the second brother has also been put on hold. The second sister-in-law feels a little unhappy."

After Furong heard this, only four words came to mind.Seeing that Fu Rong hadn't spoken for a long time, Gu Simei comforted her: "My sister-in-law is about to give birth, and my eldest brother doesn't have much thought about it. It's just that my second brother is feeling uncomfortable."

"Fourth sister, thank you very much." Fu Rong took Gu's fourth sister's hand and sat down. She wanted to talk about the Zhong family's affairs, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it and just talked about other things.

Gu Simei sat for a while, Gu Qingchen came back, and Gu Simei went out.Fu Rong told Gu Qingchen what Gu Simei had just said.Gu Qingchen lowered his head and thought for a while: "I'll go talk to my elder brother and my second brother. Leave this matter to me."

Fu Rong nodded, it was most suitable for Gu Qingchen to come forward.After changing the subject, she said again: "Now that the Zhong family has such a happy event, we should also send some congratulatory gifts. Now that the relationship between the Zhong family and our family is a little stiff, we still need to move around more. plan."

After hearing this, Gu Qingchen couldn't help but shook Fu Rong's hand: "If you don't want to go tomorrow. You are also tired today, and you still have to help fourth sister Zhang Luo."

"I'm not just for the fourth sister. If our family has this relationship, no one will dare to bully us when we start business." Fu Rong laughed.The title of a scholar can shock many people in a small place.

Gu Qingchen's eyes flickered, and he nodded to her: "It's also thanks to you. Let's go to congratulate together later."

Gu Qingchen and his wife went to Zhong's house, and Aunt Zhong was completely dressed, sitting firmly like a noble lady.Seeing them, Aunt Zhong smiled and got up: "It's really a rare visitor. Since they are all guests here, sit down."

Sure enough, the attitude was not very good, but it was good that he didn't get kicked out.Fu Rong's heart was buried in her stomach, and the steamed buns had to be eaten bite by bite. She was only here to explore the way, doing her duty as a third sister-in-law, and leaving the rest to Father Gu and the others.

Mr. Zhong was very happy, and he was proud when he spoke: "My Lin'er has been smart since he was a child, and I knew he must have a great future. No, he is only fifteen, and he is a scholar. It’s just around the corner. I decided to let him live in the town tomorrow, find a good teacher for him, and take the Juren examination next year.”

"Father, I'm not going to live in the town. My rank in the exam this time is not high enough to go to the county school. I want to study at home for another two years before I talk about the next exam." Zhong Lin remained silent, Hearing Master Zhong's words, he suddenly spoke.

Mr. Zhong couldn't hold back anymore, and his face turned black immediately: "Even if you are selected as a scholar, you are still my son! You won't listen to my words!"

Aunt Zhong stood up immediately: "Your son is in the big house in the town. I was the only one who pulled my Liner when he had nothing to eat and wear. Where were you at that time? Now my son is promising, You feel that your face is bright, and you ran back to recognize your son. Let me tell you, there is nothing so cheap in the world. My son, don't even think about it. "

Master Zhong slapped the table and was about to turn his face, Zhong Lin stood up suddenly, his face flushed, "Stop arguing. I know my own affairs!" towards the door.

Aunt Zhong hurriedly called out to Zhong Lin and chased him out.Master Zhong flicked his sleeves and snorted: "It's getting more and more outrageous, look at what son she taught, he doesn't even listen to me."

Fu Rong and Gu Qingchen looked at each other, got up and said goodbye.Back in the house, the two were busy washing and putting the child to sleep.After tidying up everything, Fu Rong stretched herself, only to feel that all the bones in her body were about to fall apart.Gu Qingchen discussed with Fu Rong: "When we get back to the county, how about we invite a shopkeeper?"

Fu Rong nodded: "Everything is up to you. You can study at home with peace of mind. Don't be distracted by these things."

Gu Qingchen pressed her shoulders, and said softly: "Perhaps, this is also a turning point." Before, he felt that it was troublesome for Zhong Lin not to be a scholar, but now it seems that he was a scholar, and things are even more troublesome.

Although the Zhong family and his wife were at odds on the surface, they both agreed to hold a day's banquet to celebrate.When Aunt Zhong came to invite them, Second Aunt Gu's eyes almost popped out.But no matter how much she stared at her, she couldn't change the fact that her child was only two years old now.She secretly made up her mind that she must cultivate a champion and kill the spirit of the Zhong family.

Gu Qingchen might have said something to Papa Gu, Papa Gu was not very willing to go at first, but he wore new clothes and shaved his beard and went there.Gu Simei followed Furong all the time, with her head lowered, a blush behind her ears.When Zhong Lin saw Gu Simei, he couldn't take his eyes off her.Fu Rong stood between the two intentionally or unintentionally, and quietly said to Gu Simei: "Do you still remember what I told you? Although he is a scholar, you are not bad." Gu Simei nodded, although she was still a little timid , but at least the face is raised.
