Peasant woman's day

Chapter 31

Gu Qingchen put his hand on Sister Gu's wrist, and he knew it in his heart. After a moment of pondering, he began to think about it, and then let it go: "Sister's illness, just need two injections." Gu Qingchen said, then Turning back to Fu Rong, she said, "Daughter-in-law, help me get the medicine box."

Fu Rong agreed, and brought the medicine box very quickly.Gu Qingchen took out the needle, roasted it on the tip of the fire, and then said: "Bring the thread, the master said that I am not proficient in needle sticking, and I need to use thread to pull it."

Sister Gu opened her eyes almost immediately.Father Gu and the others were coming out of the room, just seeing this scene, Old Lady Gu's hesitant face suddenly turned cold, and she turned her head away.Papa Gu put her burden on the table: "You can go now."

Sister Gu's pleading eyes immediately looked at Mrs. Gu.After all, Mrs. Gu was soft-hearted. She turned her head to look at Sister Gu, and closed her eyes: "Big girl, you, just listen to your father." She doesn't believe it.

Sister Gu was kicked out of the Gu family, and the news quickly spread throughout the village.At the same time, news of the separation of the Gu family spread throughout the village.Some people didn't believe it, so they wandered around the door of Gu's house, and saw that in the middle of the afternoon, all the relatives of Gu's family came out, all of them looked solemn and kept silent.

The field is divided equally.Gu Daddy and Gu Laoniang asked for five acres, and the other three brothers shared it equally, two acres of paddy fields and one acres of dry fields.This year's harvest after the autumn harvest is tentatively determined to be four points for Gu Daddy, three points for Gu Boss, two points for the second child, and one point for the third child.The vegetable garden at home belongs to the boss.It's just that when the poultry and livestock raised by the family were divided, there was a little dispute.

As soon as the second sister-in-law Gu went there, she caught the chicks that Furong bought from the breeding eggs.Old lady Gu's face darkened: "The third daughter-in-law paid for it herself."

"Didn't the third brother and sister say at the time that it was in the public house? Besides, she didn't miss the chickens from our public house." The second sister-in-law Gu said, she caught one right away, and tied up four of them in a blink of an eye.

Old man Gu knew about this, and frowned: "Now the money paid by each person naturally belongs to each family."

Furong really couldn't see the difference between the chickens she bought and the chickens at home, and the chickens at home were even better at laying eggs.Since the second sister-in-law Gu wants it, Fu Rong might as well be a favor: "In that case, I will give these four chickens to the second sister-in-law. I think the eggs laid by the chickens at home are more fragrant."

The second sister-in-law Gu took back the hand that was stretched out to the fifth chicken, and said with a smile: "The third sibling's kindness, so I have no choice but to accept it kindly. I can't take advantage of you in vain, right. I got a piece of cloth a while ago, so I will give it away." Give it to the third brother and sister." The piece of cloth was not very good anyway, it was a gift from someone else, she had inquired about it, and it was only 120 renminbi.

Furong agreed, and surrounded the chickens she picked out with a woven bamboo fence.After she surrounded them, she caught four more chickens and put them back in the original chicken coop, and said to Mrs. Gu: "Tianheng and Xiaotao are also growing up, mother, thank you for your hard work."

Old lady Gu's eyes were red again.In fact, she has always been quite satisfied with this third daughter-in-law, and she understands the general principles of etiquette.Now that she was about to leave, she thought of Furong again.However, now that she has become like this, it is useless for Mrs. Gu to say anything.She just nodded, choked up a bit, and said, "Come back and have a look when you have time."

Generally speaking, this separation is relatively peaceful, if you don't count the fact that Sister Gu was kicked out.Fu Rong found that today's second sister-in-law Gu is very talkative, probably because she is in good spirits on happy occasions.The lunch is still made by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law together, and two tables are set up, one for the men and one for the women with their children.After lunch, I divided the last bit of food.Gu's second family didn't want any kitchen utensils, but took some more farm tools, and Furong and the others already had a set in the hut where they lived.The other miscellaneous items are all for you and I will separate them one by one.The house that was usually full, now suddenly feels like half of it is missing.

Gu Ersao and the others had planned it long ago.Gu Sanbo and the others hadn't left after lunch, but the ox cart of Mrs. Gu's family had already come to pull things.Papa Gu's eyes dimmed, and Gu Sanbo patted him on the shoulder: "This is something that can't be helped. The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and children's hearts are also fleshy."

Papa Gu nodded and didn't speak.Boss Gu stood aside, drooping his head, and remained silent.Gu Sanbo patted Gu Boss on the shoulder again: "Boss, I heard from your third aunt that you are going to get married in a few days. I will congratulate you first!"

"My nephew doesn't dare, how can I stand Uncle San's congratulations. Mother arranged everything. It's just to find a mother for Tianheng and the others." Boss Gu lowered his head, his voice getting lower and lower.

Aunt Gu frowned slightly when she heard this.She is Gu Sanbo's house filler, and she is a little displeased with Boss Gu's attitude.Gu Sanbo said seriously: "When a woman marries you, she entrusts her life to you. No matter what her natal family is, if she marries, she will be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family. She is your wife, so don't say that again to offend the girl. Heart."

Gu Sanbo and his relatives stayed in the courtyard for a while, then got up and left.Gu Qingchen and Mrs. Gu went to Aunt Huang's house to ask about the house.Furong took Yuanyuan back to the hut and packed her things.The voice of Mrs. Gu ordering people to move things could be heard all the time in the yard, Fu Rong's eyebrows were slightly frowned: she must be too anxious.

In the evening, as soon as Furong finished cooking, she heard Yuanyuan calling her sister.She turned her head and saw Xiao Tao's head was exposed outside the door.Seeing Fu Rong looking at her, Xiao Tao came out and said cautiously, "Third Aunt, Grandpa asked you to come over for dinner."

"It's Xiaotao." Fu Rong wiped her hands on her apron, and smiled at her, "I've already prepared the meal here, so I won't go there."

Xiaotao almost always gets such a result every time she comes.She lowered her head and paddled her feet on the ground for a while, as if she was thinking about something.Seeing her troubled look, Furong wanted to say something more, but Xiaotao suddenly said, "Third Aunt, I'm leaving." After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran away.

Furong looked at her back, shook her head, and turned to serve the meal.She had just finished serving the meal, when the door was knocked lightly a few times, Gu Simei's voice came: "Sister-in-law three."

"Fourth sister, come in quickly." Furong was a little puzzled, usually Xiaotao came to call her, and it was fine if the third room didn't come, why did people come over one after another today.

Fourth Sister Gu looked a bit cramped, and after entering, she glanced around the room with a smile on her face: "Sister-in-law, father and mother let you and third brother go to have dinner. Second brother and second sister-in-law will come over later. It's a reunion dinner."

Furong caught sight of Gu Qingchen's figure behind Gu Simei, and sighed in her heart: If I knew today, why bother.We usually eat together every day, just noisy.It's only been a few days, and it's come to such a point, what did I do so early.It's just that they are Gu Qingchen's parents after all, so I'm afraid he doesn't feel well.Furong showed a smile on her face and said, "Then help me bring the fried dishes over later."

Gu Simei followed Fu Rong into the kitchen with her head down, her eyes were suddenly red from the smoke, she quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes.Fu Rong was filling the bowl with vegetables, when Fourth Sister Gu walked up to her and said softly, "Sister-in-law three, my mother just talked to me, and she couldn't bear to part with you. The elder sister is the eldest daughter, she was born without milk, and she is poor and has no money. I bought candy for my eldest sister. My eldest sister almost went. Later, my eldest sister got married, and the family really had no money. The elder sister’s marriage was chosen by my grandma, and my eldest brother’s husband was not good to my eldest sister. My mother always felt that I owed my eldest sister, and that’s why I hurt her so much. a little."

Furong understood, because she felt that she owed a big debt, so she wanted to make up for it after her life improved.It's not that it shouldn't be made up, it's just that the way Mrs. Gu treats the child is problematic in her opinion.Because you want to make up for the big one, you deduct the small one.Will make up for the small ones later.Isn't this a typical example of tearing down the east to make up for the west?Gu Simei seems to be here as a lobbyist.But it is obviously useless to say these words now.Furong didn't look up, and didn't answer.

Seeing that Furong didn't pay attention to her, Gu Simei's face instantly flushed, and she said falteringly, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry with your mother, okay. This time when the eldest sister came back, she said those things because of the eldest sister, and it wasn't her." original intention."

Furong has already filled up the potatoes and braised pork that she has made, filling two big bowls.She found a tray, put the dishes on it, raised her head, and said seriously: "Fourth sister, I know what you mean. Yes, the eldest sister has suffered a lot, but that doesn't mean she can do whatever she wants. She falls into the At this point, apart from her in-laws’ problems, it’s impossible for her to have such a personality without her own reasons. As for the mother, she is an adult, and she has walked so many years longer than us. She has her own judgment." If she loses her head because of a few words, it can only prove that she hasn't eaten enough.

Gu Simei was about to say something, but Fu Rong had already picked up the tray and left.Gu Simei hurriedly followed with a bowl of fried bitter gourd and a bowl of fried loofah, but there was no chance to be a lobbyist again.When Furong went out, Gu Qingchen took the tray, exchanged glances with her, and smiled gratefully at her.

When Second Aunt Gu saw the two bowls of red-flavored braised pork, her eyes suddenly glowed green.Fu Rong just pretended not to see, put one bowl in front of Gu Lao and Gu Lao Niang, and the other in front of Xiao Tao and Tian Heng, and sat down.
