Rebirth 1973

Chapter 46

Knowing that her son was protecting her little girlfriend, instead of being angry this time, Li's mother was very optimistic.This Gu Xiaoyue looks so good, she also looks gentle and virtuous, what if her son doesn't get caught and is snatched away by others?
Gu Xiaoyue knew that Li Guanghua was worried about her, so she changed the subject for her.But, with Li's mother's temper, would she be unhappy because of this?
Looking nervously at Li's mother, she found that she actually looked at himself and Li Guanghua from time to time, and finally smiled with satisfaction.

This is really weird, how could Mother Li be so cheered up all of a sudden?Is she also reborn?No, if Li's mother is reborn, she will definitely do everything possible to prevent her from meeting Li Guanghua!
Suppressing the panic and impatience in her heart, Gu Xiaoyue tried her best to keep calm.She decided to observe for a while before speaking, she couldn't scare herself.

Li Guanghua also found out that something was wrong with his mother. He asked suspiciously, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at us with such a smile?"

Fearing that her strange words and deeds would scare the prospective daughter-in-law, Li's mother put away her exaggerated smile and said with a smile: "Mom is so happy, I really don't know Xiaoyue is so beautiful and well-behaved, Huazi, you will be better in the future." As for Xiaoyue, if you dare to bully her, Mom will never forgive you!"

Is this still the harsh mother-in-law in her previous life?She actually asked her most beloved son to treat her well, and said that she had to make decisions for herself?
Li Guanghua excitedly promised: "Mom, don't worry, I will treat Xiaoyue very well, and I will be filial to you and father together with Xiaoyue!" .

Gu Xiaoyue immediately realized that she should just nod shyly at this time.I didn't want to expose too much without knowing Li's mother, so I pretended to look at Li Guanghua shyly, and nodded slightly to Li's mother.

The affection and tacit understanding between her son and Gu Xiaoyue made Li's mother very happy. It seems that this stupid son of hers is not bad, and she deserves to be her son for being able to chase such a good girl.

Mother Li smiled and said: "Okay, okay, as long as you are happy, Mom will be happy. Let's stop talking outside, let's go, the chicken soup is stewed at home, Xiaoyue, go home and drink soup with auntie!"

Gu Xiaoyue is very unaccustomed to being held by Li's mother, but at this time, she can't tolerate being hypocritical.Obediently led by Li's mother, Li Guanghua ran to the other side to support Li's mother, and the three of them returned to the front of Li's courtyard all the way.

Gu Xiaoyue recalled the situation of the Li family along the way, hoping to find some familiar places to get rid of her inner tension.

Speaking of the layout of the Li family's yard, it is similar to that of an ordinary farmhouse, and it is in the shape of a day.The front is surrounded by brick walls to form a large front yard with high walls, and two wooden gates are opened in the middle.

Through the gate, you can see three main houses.The first one is the living room for dining and meeting guests. On the wall facing the door in the living room, there is a big classic head portrait of M, with special slogans hanging on both sides.

A long black wooden table was placed against the wall, one side was just as long as the left wall, and the other side was next to the edge of a small door.There are some teacups, teapots, some bottles and jars and bits and pieces on the table.

There is a boxy black solid wood table in the middle of the room, surrounded by long benches. This is the table used by the Li family for receiving guests and eating.

On the other two walls, one-third is the gate leading to the other two main rooms.The remaining two-thirds were filled with large jars filled with pickles hard-picked by Li's mother-in-law and Liu Yanfang's mother-in-law.

Maoshi Village generally has no fresh vegetables in winter, so it is a great thing to have some Dong radish and Chinese cabbage that are not afraid of freezing.Therefore, every household pickles a lot of pickles, and these pickles are enough for a family to eat for a year.

The methods of pickling pickles are different from each family, and the taste is also different.Gu Xiaoyue remembered seeing this pickle for the first time in her previous life, she thought it was too dark, and she hypocritically refused to eat it.In the end, there was no way out, the cooked rice was hard to swallow, and I felt so resentful towards the Li family, so I had to try to eat a little.

After eating this, Gu Xiaoyue fell in love with this taste.Mother Li and Liu Yanfang's craftsmanship is undeniable. The pickled vegetables are crisp and refreshing, and go very well with rice.

It was also because Gu Xiaoyue did not continue to commit suicide that Mother Li could tolerate her continuing to live in the Li family.

Thinking of what happened in her previous life, Gu Xiaoyue was only amused.If you really don't die, you won't die. If you are confused, who can blame you for your bad life?

Looking at Li's mother who was holding her hand with a smile all the time, Gu Xiaoyue suddenly had expectations for her future life in Li's family.

These days, every household is not rich, and the Li family is doing well.The arrangement in the living room is clear at a glance, the main room to the east is the bedroom of the old couple of the Li family.

Walking in the door, you will see a small wooden cabinet placed on the top of the kang.The side wall of the room facing the window is entirely built with a large heated kang, and the two ends of the kang are the same low wooden cabinets, in which are placed the clothes, pillows and cups of the old couple.

In the middle of the kang is a low kang table, which is twice the size of an ordinary kang table.The kang is covered with kang mats that have been used for some years. Farmers usually fold the bedding neatly and place them in a wooden cabinet after getting off the kang in the morning. Under cold water.

The whole Kang occupies half of the room, and there was originally a toilet in the corner at the end of the room.It's just that during the daytime, Grandma Li would take it to the backyard to clean it, bask in the sun, and disinfect it.In the evening, I took it back to the room.The elderly like to wake up at night, and the lights are dark, so it is not easy to go to the toilet in the backyard. Using the toilet is the most convenient way.

The other spaces are empty, except for a wooden shelf on the side wall facing the window.The upper layer of the wooden frame has a roof, and the layers are separated from each other. There are only two doors on the front that can be opened.The old couple's shoes are placed in the wooden shelf, and the shoes of all seasons are placed in it.

Since the two Li Guanghua brothers were young, every winter, the Li family would heat the big kang in the old couple's room to keep them warm.Grandma Li likes the whole family to sit around the kang table, usually with Li Guangming in her arms and mother Li holding the young Li Guanghua in her arms.

Some melon seeds and peanuts, farm-made snacks and tea were placed on the kang table, and the family chatted and laughed, and passed the winter year after year like this.

Now that Li Guanghua and his brothers are both grown up and married or are about to marry their wives, the old couple of the Li family still hope to be able to chat on the kang with their great-grandchildren in their arms.In the previous life, Liu Yanfang had never been able to conceive, so they hoped that Gu Xiaoyue could continue the incense as soon as possible after she married into the family. However, until Gu Xiaoyue left the Li family, they failed to achieve their wish.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoyue felt a little sad. In her previous life, her grandparents were the best people in the Li family except for Li Guanghua, but what she did made them heartbroken. In the end, she even killed their beloved grandson. I don't know how sad and desolate the Li family was after Li Guanghua left!

Li Guanghua was always worried about Gu Xiaoyue, afraid that she would be nervous.Seeing her suddenly feel sad and blame herself, because Li's mother is beside her, and it is difficult to ask and comfort her, she is very anxious.

Gu Xiaoyue was also sad for a while and put aside these pessimistic thoughts. Didn't she come back in this life?She must behave well, treat the Li family well, and take good care of Li Guanghua, a big fool.

She turned her head and saw the worried look of that fool. She blinked her brows and smiled at Li Guanghua, indicating that she was fine.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoyue had adjusted herself, Li Guanghua felt a little relieved.He knew that now was not the time to worry about these things, and he thought that when he sent Gu Xiaoyue back, he would look for an opportunity to ask again.

Mother Li didn't understand these small actions of her youngest son, so she excitedly pulled her son-to-be daughter-in-law, wishing she could go home soon.

Gu Xiaoyue chased away those sad memories, and continued to recall other situations of the Li family.

The main room to the west of the living room is the room of Li's mother and Li's father.Unlike Grandma Li's room, the kang in Mother Li's room is not that big, but it takes up one-third of the space in the room.

The kang is still built next to the window, with the two sides close to the wall, and there are still two wooden cabinets at both ends of the kang.The layout of all the farm houses is similar, even if there are not many changes.

Li's mother and Li's father were about 48 years old at this time, and Li's mother might be three or four years younger.Unlike Grandpa Li and Grandma Li, the whole room is slightly more furnished.

On the wall facing the window, there is Mother Li's dressing table, and the upright side of the dressing table is also inlaid with a glass border.This was rare at the time, and it is said that it was Li's mother's dowry at that time.

Li's mother is actually the daughter of a landlord's family, but a concubine born in a concubine's room.When Li's mother was still young, her aunt died of illness.

After finally growing up, her aunt betrothed her to Li Dongliang.Mother Li's father saw that the Li family was doing well, and that Li Dongliang was also an honest man, so naturally he had no objection, a concubine who had lost her aunt, there was nothing worth arguing with his first wife.

It's just that the dowry is one or two more pieces than before. This dressing table was added by Li's mother's father.

Being able to marry the lady of the landlord's house, Li Dongliang naturally hurt Li's mother to the bone.After Li's mother married him, he obeyed Li's mother.

Fortunately, Mother Li is a virtuous woman.She has been bullied since she was a child, and she understands the warmth and coldness of human feelings very well.The Li family is so kind to her, and her husband is considerate to her, so she naturally treats each other with sincerity, and the Li family has lived a harmonious and happy ten years like this.

On the contrary, Li's mother's natal family was the target of criticism, and the whole family had a miserable life. Li's mother escaped disaster because she married the poor peasant Li's family, which can only be said to be a blessing in disguise.

The aunt who loved her the most had passed away, her father didn't care about her, and her aunt made things difficult for her everywhere. The suffering she had suffered made the already weak family relationship disappear naturally.Mother Li has always been indifferent to the sufferings of her natal family.
