Peasant woman's day

Chapter 68

The second sister-in-law Gu's complexion suddenly turned ugly, she put the chopsticks on the table, and Fu Rong hid aside, almost splashing the soup on her body.Gu Qingchen looked at Mrs. Gu with dissatisfaction.Fu Rong shook his hand under the table, shook her head slightly at him, and smiled all over her face.That's all for Gu Qingchen.

When it was time to light the lamps for the meal, Fu Rong first took the dishes to the kitchen to heat them up, but then she simply brought in two stoves to heat them inside the room.Papa Gu and Boss Gu were all blushing from drinking, and the smiles on their faces never stopped.Although Gu Qingchen was not good at drinking, he still drank several cups, and his face always had two blushes.Fu Rong snickered when she saw it, and Gu Qingchen pinched her waist secretly.Fu Rong hurriedly avoided.

Finally, the reunion dinner broke up, and Fu Rong cleaned up the dishes.Mrs. Gu ordered: "Just wash it here, anyway, hot water is readily available, and the kitchen is strangely cold."

Furong couldn't wait to go out to fetch water as Mrs. Gu said.Gu Qingchen fetched a large bucket of water ahead of her and put it on the side.Fu Rong smiled at him, and Gu Qingchen also smiled at her, making Mrs. Gu beside her in a trance.

Both Fu Rong and Mrs. Gu moved very quickly, while Mrs. Gu didn't move a bit, just sitting there kowtowing the sunflower seeds.Gu Laoer was so drunk that he lay down next to Gu Ersao, and stretched out his hand to pull Gu Ersao with a smile: "Mother."

Second Aunt Gu pulled her hand back: "Don't be ashamed to do what you are doing."

These words were obviously aimed at the tacit understanding between Fu Rong and Gu Qingchen.Fu Rong was not annoyed either, she deliberately walked to Gu Qingchen's side, leaned against him and sat down, picked up a few pine nuts, blew the flesh, and handed it to Gu Qingchen.

Gu Qingchen took the pine nuts that Furong handed over, smiled at him, fed Yuanyuan a few of the pine nuts, and ate the rest by himself.The second sister-in-law Gu immediately snorted when she saw this, "I'm so shameless to flirt in front of a child."

"I think the second sister-in-law must be very ashamed." Fu Rong replied directly following her words.

The second sister-in-law Gu immediately jumped up, pointed at Fu Rong's nose, and began to scold: "Who doesn't know that you use that face to seduce men. Only a young man like the third child treats you like a treasure, and the third child does too." You fool, you don't even know you're being cuckolded, but you're very active in raising other people's bastards."

"What are you talking about!" Gu Er Er, who was drunk, immediately became furious when he heard this, and slapped Gu Er Auntie across the face with a backhand slap.

The second sister-in-law Gu was stunned, grabbed Gu's second son by the collar, and cried, "Are you even fascinated by this seductive woman? You are an old man, and you go whoring outside again, and you are thinking about it." At home. I can't get over it, I want to make peace!"

Father Gu was talking to Boss Gu about how to plant paddy fields and dry fields next year. When he heard the noise here, he immediately stood up staggeringly on the table: "Go back to the fight! My old man wants to be quiet. Just spend the new year, you all shut up! Whoever wants to pass it, write a letter of divorce tomorrow and let her go home."

The second sister-in-law Gu saw this family and knew that she was alone and weak, and if she continued to make trouble, she would not be able to get anything good.She let go of her hand, ignored Gu Er Er, and lay down on her own, squinting her eyes comfortably.She felt uncomfortable and turned over. As soon as she moved, a bad smell came out.Gu Er Er happened to be behind her, sat up quickly, covered his nose and looked at Gu Er Aunt in disgust, and stopped talking.

Ignoring this episode, the atmosphere in the Gu family was peaceful.Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu were discussing who to invite to the house for the second day of junior high school, and discussing what dishes to cook that day.

Mrs. Gu intentionally let Fu Rong take the spoon, and counted with her fingers: "There are about six tables of people, and each table has half a chicken, one fish, and two catties of meat. It's enough to make nine bowls of dishes. I'll go there before." When Han's family eats, the meat is as thin as a piece of paper, and it's only the size of a little finger. After searching the whole plate, there is nothing. Our family is not rich, so that's enough."

Old man Gu peeled a melon seed, and shook his head when he heard the words: "Then the Han family is not comparable to our family. His family has five children, and they only guard ten acres of land, and have no other income. The eldest son is I can’t get out of bed all year round. It’s not bad to be able to set up such a banquet. Huang’s banquet also has nine dishes per table, and there are also whole chickens and ducks. According to me, one chicken per table is not too much. Add Just a duck."

Mrs. Gu immediately became displeased: "Our family is in charge of their own affairs now, but they are nice. They send a few eggs and white flour rolls, and then take back a full stomach of fat and water. I don't want to do it. What is the price of ducks now? Our family has no idea. There are some. The chickens at the back still have to keep their eggs, so we can’t let ourselves have nothing to eat.”

"Eldest daughter-in-law and third daughter-in-law, please tell me." Father Gu was impatient to argue with Mrs. Gu, and started to call for help.

Aunt Gu looked at Fu Rong: "The third sibling is used to cooking, so why don't you ask her what she means?"

Fu Rong knew that Mrs. Gu was going to push this sweet potato to her side, she thought about it in her heart, and said with a smile: "There are some fish. Didn't they pickle a lot of them at home? It's time to steam them and put some Tempeh and other things are also a dish after adjusting the taste, so you don’t need to buy them separately. I think you still need a chicken for each table. You can’t use up two catties of meat for one table, and the bacon is extra. One catty of meat for each table, fried That’s enough. As for ducks, in my opinion, it’s not necessary to have one for each table, or just catch two, boil a big pot of soup, put some sauerkraut, put some stick bones, warm and oily, and serve on each table One point fits the scene.”

After listening to Furong's words, Mrs. Gu was quite satisfied, but the chicken still had to kill six, which really made her a little embarrassed: "The chicken usually costs forty yuan a piece, but now it costs sixty yuan under the festival. How much does it cost for them to eat?" She said, looking at Fu Rong: "Third daughter-in-law, don't you still feed a dozen chickens over there? Why don't you bring three over here."

"There's no reason why we don't pay for our parents' treats, so let us pay for the chicken." Boss Gu said hurriedly.

Father Gu made the decision: "The third son will bring three chickens here, and don't care about other money. The boss will take care of the money for the meat and tea, and the second son will let you pay for the two ducks and vegetables. As for the eggs And fish and so on, we prepare it ourselves."

It's still fair, basically the money paid by each house is about the same.Mrs. Gu volunteered to help Furong again.Fu Rong sighed in her heart: Every time she came back, she was like a cook who specializes in cooking.

At midnight, there was a burst of firecrackers outside.The Gu family was no exception. They opened the door, and the three Gu brothers went out with firecrackers.Yuanyuan had fallen asleep in Furong's arms, but when she heard the sound of firecrackers, she woke up suddenly, and looked at Furong with her eyes open: "Mother, is it dawn yet?"

"Yuanyuan is one year older!" Furong tugged at Yuanyuan's little ears, "Hurry up and pay New Year's greetings to grandpa and grandma."

Yuanyuan rubbed her eyes and climbed off Fu Rong.The three children stood in a row, first bowed to Father Gu Furong, then knelt on the futon and kowtowed three times to the two.Both Father Gu and Old Lady Gu gave each of them a red envelope.Yuanyuan took the red envelope and walked up to Fu Rong, stretched out her hand and handed it to Fu Rong: "Mother, red envelope."

"Yuanyuan put it away by herself. Come on, mother will pack it for you." Fu Rong's hand weighed the weight of the red envelope, which was probably two or three copper coins.Fu Rong put the red envelope into the small pocket on Yuanyuan's clothes, and kissed Yuanyuan's face: "Will Yuanyuan wish Uncle and Uncle Madam New Year's greetings?"

Yuanyuan smiled and greeted Gu and his wife, and the other two children followed suit.Boss Gu was very happy, and sent everyone a red envelope.The three children followed the same example to wish Gu Lao Er and his wife New Year's greetings.Gu Lao Er didn't have these on him, so he pushed Mrs. Gu Er.The second sister-in-law Gu actually woke up early, and deliberately squinted her eyes, pretending not to wake up.Gu Laoer kicked her hard.The second sister-in-law Gu sat up lazily and gave each of the three children a red envelope.Yuanyuan's pocket couldn't fit anymore, so she gave it to Fu Rong.As soon as Fu Rong touched it, she knew there was only one copper plate inside, so she didn't say anything.

The three children gave Furong and the others New Year greetings, and Gu Qingchen sealed the three children with red envelopes.Yuanyuan looked around, then paid New Year greetings to Gu Simei and asked for a red envelope.Fu Rong hurriedly pulled Yuanyuan back: "Just wish you a happy new year."

Gu Simei took out three red envelopes with a smile, and smiled at Fu Rong: "Sister-in-law, although the money is not much, it's just a little bit of my heart. I'm also asking for auspicious luck."

The sound of firecrackers went on and on, and every family made dumplings to eat.Furong is stuffed with cabbage and meat, and everyone can't stop eating.A lively New Year's Eve is over.

At the beginning of the new year, every household visits.In the early morning of the next morning, Fu Rong put on new clothes for Yuanyuan, and warned him repeatedly: "Say hello to people when you see them, follow sister Xiaotao and brother, don't be alone, don't run around. The red envelopes are all in this pocket." Yuanyuan couldn't sit still anymore, and even called out a few times: "Mother, brother and sister called me."

"This little devil." Fu Rong let go of her hand and let Yuan Yuan go.The person behind stretched out a hand to tuck her in the quilt, with his hand on her waist and his head on her shoulder: "Daughter-in-law, sleep with me for a while longer." Began to behave irregularly.
