The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 7 Don’t take it personally

"You..." Wang didn't expect that Gu Huayu would contradict her, and she was speechless for a moment.

"Have you packed up? Once you've packed up, go early. If you want to come back in the evening, I'll ask Cheng Nan to pick you up.

If you don’t come back, then rest there for one night and come back tomorrow morning. "Fang and Gu Chengjuan came out carrying the beans and said when they saw Wang.

Wang Xiu'e's face changed instantly when she saw Fang coming out, and she said with a smile: "Aniang, my wife hasn't been back for a few days. She will rest there tonight and come back early tomorrow."

Fang sighed inwardly and nodded slightly without showing a face: "Go ahead and say hello to your in-laws for me."

Gu Chengjuan frowned and waved her fist at Wang Xiu'e's back. Fang raised her hand and patted Gu Chengjuan's shoulder, saying in a deep voice: "Go get the dustpan."

Gu Chengjuan pouted and turned around to get the dustpan.

Fang turned around and saw Gu Huayu looking at her and said, "Xiaoyu, your second sister-in-law has returned home not long ago, and she has only had a short time getting along with everyone. She will inevitably think more about herself, so don't argue with her."

 Gu Huayu smiled and nodded, and said calmly: "Thank you, Second Aunt, for saving Xiaoyu. However, in this family, the third room is really a drag on everyone, and what Second Sister-in-law said today is also true."

"You can't say these small words anymore. We are all a family, so why not be a drag? If your grandfather finds out, you should be punished." Mrs. Fang scolded with a straight face.

“Xiaoyu, don’t say that, let alone feel guilty. Third uncle teaches in the school, and all the money he receives every month is given to the public school.

And because of the relationship between the third uncle and the fourth brother, the third brother and the fourth brother do not need to pay any training when they go to school. Counting everything inside and out, the third uncle earns the most in this family.

 Second sister-in-law doesn't know the situation, so she talks nonsense. Don't take it seriously. "

As she spoke, Gu Chengjuan put the dustpan on the two benches, turned around and scooped the beans into the dustpan with a ladle.

Gu Huayu understood clearly, so it was like this. It seemed that the eldest uncle and the second uncle were both understanding people.

Fang glanced at her daughter, picked up the dustpan and started working. After a while, she poured the beans she picked out into the dustpan next to Gu Chengjuan. Said: "Don't worry about talking, you two, quickly pick up the sand in the beans."

Gu Huayu helped pick beans all afternoon and got a rough idea of ​​the current prices.

 After dinner, Gu Huayu went to the kitchen to look for Mrs. Wan: "Mom, I want to go to the market with my second uncle tomorrow."

Wanshi disagreed at first, but Gu Huayu acted coquettishly and cutely, so Wanshi finally nodded and agreed.

Gu Huayu came out of the kitchen and was pulled by Gu Chengjuan to talk.

After a while, Mrs. Fang said in the room: "Why do you two talk so much? It's getting late. Chengjuan should wash up and rest quickly. There are still a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Gu Chengjuan stuck out her tongue and lowered her voice: "Xiaoyu, let's talk tomorrow. There are many wild fruits on the edge of the soil in Maopoling. I will pick some for you tomorrow. They are sour and sweet, and they are delicious. ”

Gu Huayu looked at the playful Gu Chengjuan, and the warm scenes in her memory reappeared one by one.

In those years, when Gu Chengjuan came back from the fields, she would always magically pull out red and yellow wild fruits from the pigweed in her basket, and hold them in front of her when offering treasures...

 Gu Huayu's eyes were a little sore, and she was afraid of being looked at by Gu Chengjuan, so she smiled and nodded, "Thank you, second sister, go and have a rest early. Let's talk tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to Gu Chengjuan, Gu Huayu went to the west wing.

In the Gu family yard, the main house is a five-bay, four-bay brick and wood structure with tiled roofs, and on the east and west sides are four-bay, three-bay thatched cottages with clay walls.

 There is a side room built next to the west wing, which is used to store farm tools and household items. A kitchen was built next to the east wing, and a pig and cow pen was built not far from the kitchen.

 The main house lives with my grandfather, eldest uncle, and second uncle in two rooms.

 The west wing houses the three-bedroom apartment and Gu Chengdong's family.

The east wing is the residence and dining hall of Gu Chengnan and his wife.

Gu Huayu returned to the west wing and saw her father checking her brother's homework.

Gu Dechang saw Gu Huayu come in, put down the book in his hand, and waved to Gu Huayu, "Xiaoyu, come and sit."

Gu Huayu smiled, walked to Gu Dechang and sat down.

"I heard that my sister helped my second uncle pick up beans all afternoon. Are you tired? My sister is still not very good at it. It's time to rest. You don't need to do these things." Gu Chengliang stood beside the desk and poured a cup for Gu Huayu. Said over tea.

Gu Dechang nodded in agreement, "Cheng Liang is right, Xiaoyu, you are weak, just rest well, don't take Wang's words to heart."

Gu Dechang knew that Gu Huayu was sensitive, so he only acted when she listened to Wang's words.

Gu Huayu took the teacup handed over by Gu Chengliang and felt quite emotional in her heart. No wonder she looked like a useless person in her previous life. With so many people pampering you, it would be strange if you don't do anything and don't waste it!

Gu Huayu smiled and replied: "Thank you, dad, thank you brother, Xiaoyu is not tired. Don't worry, dad, Xiaoyu did not take the second sister-in-law's words to heart. Moreover, Yu Xiaoyu can do what he can, It’s a good thing.”

Gu Dechang's eyes deepened, he raised his hand and touched Gu Huayu's head and said, "Our Xiaoyu has grown up and is sensible."

Gu Dechang’s loving touch made Gu Huayu burst into tears again.

In her memory, her father loved her very much. During the robbery, he protected her behind her. She watched her father fall in a pool of blood with her own eyes...

"What's wrong with Xiaoyu?" Gu Dechang asked in a panic when he saw Gu Huayu crying.

 “Xiaoyu has a headache again?” Gu Chengliang asked worriedly.

 Gu Huayu shook her head, "I don't have a headache."

“Then why are you crying?” Gu Chengliang asked.

Gu Dechang raised his hand to wipe Gu Huayu's tears and waited for her answer.

Gu Huayu looked at her father and then at her brother, not knowing how to answer.

"You said you didn't take the second sister-in-law into consideration? Xiaoyu, don't be as knowledgeable as the second sister-in-law." Gu Chengliang thought his sister was aggrieved and was busy trying to enlighten her.

Gu Huayu hurriedly explained: "I..."

Gu Chengliang patted her shoulder and said comfortingly: "Xiaoyu, second brother treats us very well. For the sake of second brother, let's not argue with second sister-in-law. Second sister-in-law's words should go in with the left ear and out with the right ear. Don't go in. Take it personally. Don't be sad, okay?"

Gu Huayu was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry, but she nodded her head calmly, "Okay."

Gu Dechang looked at Gu Huayu and said softly: "If Xiaoyu is bored at home, how about going to school with dad tomorrow?"

"Yes, my sister can go to school with us, so that we don't have to look at people's faces at home. Moreover, my sister is smart and has read more books. My sister can help my father teach us." Gu Chengliang was extremely excited when his father asked Gu Huayu to go to school. .

Gu Huayu wants to make a fortune, but she doesn’t want to go to school.

“Thank you Dad, Xiaoyu wants to go to the market with my second uncle tomorrow.”

Gu Dechang was stunned, "Xiaoyu wants to go to the market?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Yes, I want to go! Xiaoyu has never been to the market despite growing up. I heard from the second sister that the market is very lively, and Xiaoyu wants to go and see it."
