Chapter 372: Adding fuel to the fire
Guanjia Old Home.
The sunset burned the last rays of the sunset, and the sky grew dark.
Uncle Guan entered through the fence door with his hands behind his back, and glanced at the stove in the outhouse.
Guan Xiaomei, who was burning the fire, hurriedly replied, "Master, it'll be fine right away." ”
Uncle Guan nodded noncommittally, "Where's your milk?"
"My grandmother and my mother both work in the backyard. ”
Hearing this, Uncle Guan glanced at the stove again, turned around and walked out of the outhouse.
This time Guan Xiaomei found that he was not worried about cooking, but glanced at the firewood, she shook her head puzzled, glanced at the door, and then took out a black and slimy sweet potato with the tongs she was holding.
Uncle Guan, who left, went to the backyard, walked on the passage and saw only half of the three rooms left, and subconsciously frowned again.
The people in the third room around the backyard who cut sweet potatoes were distinct, which made him frown unhappily and cough, finally ushering in their attention.
But what's the matter with bowing your head again?
Seeing that his face was not good, Aunt Guan put down the work she was doing, patted her bib and stood up, "Wait a while, this sack will start when it is ready." ”
"What are you see?" Aunt Guan glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law, "If it doesn't dry out, it's all up to you." Saying that, she glanced at her second daughter-in-law and saw that she was nimble, but she still gave a pair of eye knives.
Uncle Guan saw her "training" her daughter-in-law, turned around with his hands behind his back, looked around and sighed, "Second child, there is not much firewood." ”
Guan Youlu immediately replied, "Dad, I'll go to fetch firewood as soon as I'm done with the work at hand." ”
Zhao Qiuyue glanced up at her man, and lowered her head again.
"The Fourth ......"
Guan Youquan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll go up the mountain with my second brother after I finish my work." Dad, what did the team say, when is the time to eat?"
Guan Youfu turned around and pouted, "What are you worried about in those few centimeters." ”
Guan Laosi glanced at him unhappily, "Big brother, your family has a big head, and it costs a lot of firewood to burn the kang in the West House alone." Second brother, you collect firewood and shout big brother, there is great power in numbers. ”
Guan Youfu choked, and then smiled, "Dad, why don't you shout the third brother, my four brothers ...... in previous years?"
Before he finished speaking, Uncle Guan had already interrupted, "Okay, you can move him to talk." ”
"Say less. Aunt Guan patted her eldest son on the back, "Don't hurry up." ”
"Mother, you changed too many sweet potatoes, how did you finish it?"
Uncle Guan, who was wandering around, glanced at the children and grandchildren in the third room, and his eyes stopped on the empty sack of Guan Youlu's footsteps, "What are you arguing about?"
Guan Xiangdong found that his father wanted to nod again, but why, his mother said that the family was separated, and he immediately blurted out, "Master, my family still has a lot of work." ”
At this opening, he felt that it was easy to say, "My mother has to take my sister to pickle vegetables after she is busy here, and my father not only goes to work, but he also has to weave curtains to earn two dollars." ”
Uncle Guan glanced meaningfully at the second daughter-in-law who bowed his head, and sighed at the second brother Guan, "This family is becoming more and more unruly." After saying that, he turned around and left, "It's useless to be old." ”
Guan Youfu immediately pointed at his younger brother, "Look, look at our father's sadness, you also want to be as unfilial as the third child?"
"Big brother, what are you talking about, how old is the child. ”
"Enough!" Aunt Guan shouted angrily, her eyes swept to Zhao Qiuyue, and then swept over Ma Cuckoo, and swept around, "Stirring up the family spirit!
Xiao Xiangdong looked at everyone uneasily, and ran behind his mother Zhao Qiuyue.
Zhao Qiuyue lowered her head and hugged her son, peeked at the two concubines, and finally glanced at Liu Chunhua more.
What is rare is that Liu Chunhua is silent at this time, doing her work listlessly, at most, she pouts when she sees her mother-in-law leave.
"Are you happy this time?" Guan Youquan sneered, "I think I'm smart, who doesn't understand that little bit of careful thinking, isn't it just afraid of suffering?"
Macuckoo pulled him a corner.
"What are you doing with me? You want to ride on your man's neck too?" Guan Youquan snorted at the two brothers, and turned around as the third person.
As soon as he left, Guan Youfu sighed at Guan Laoer, and turned around and left.
Liu Chunhua, who had been silent, finally had the opportunity to grab a sweet potato and stuff it into her mouth, took a bite, chewed it a few more times, and said vaguely, "I knew it would be like this." ”
Ma Cuckoo rolled her eyes at this, wanting to leave, but worried that someone would steal her sweet potatoes because her hands and feet were not clean.
Uproot!
Be sure to move!
I'll have to move next year anyway!
On the kang of the landlord's house, Uncle Guan began to clatter his dry smoke.
Aunt Guan, who came in one step behind him, waved her hand to the eldest granddaughter who reported to her that she could open a meal, lifted the curtain and entered the east room.
"Smoke less, I want to sell it for a few bucks this year. ”
Uncle Guan glared at her, "What's the matter, you can't even let me smoke cigarettes now?"
"Smoking too much is not good for your body. ”
"Hmph!" Uncle Guan twitched his head, "It's not good, it's not good, I'm not you, I have a filial son to provide, and it's both a chicken and an egg." ”
"It's not like you haven't eaten. ”
Uncle Guan choked suddenly, maybe it's the same? That dead boy is now clearly ignoring him as an old man!"You see, it's your good son who has taken a good lead. ”
"Your grandson is not wrong. ”
Uncle Guan was choked again, and took two puffs of cigarette vigorously, "Why don't you go to the third child to see if he's done with his work?" I heard that he changed to a lot of sweet potatoes again." ”
"I'm waiting for you to say, it's all sunburned. Aunt Guan beat her legs, heard her son's voice outside the house, and immediately raised her throat, "Are you done?"
"Mother, let's eat and dry. ”
"What's wrong with my father? You say you can be angry with yourself? Mother, you are really, my father is not good at talking about daughter-in-law, are you not just right?"
Guan Xiaomei glanced at her uncle, looked at the back of him following her father into the house, and slipped out of the outhouse, she had to go to the backyard to see if her mother was causing trouble again.
Alas...... Isn't it that the family is separated, why don't they move away? It's really annoying, and she has to cook and cook by herself, serving more than a dozen people.
"Isn't it noisy enough?" Aunt Guan's old son who entered the house with white eyes, "What are you doing here, your daughter-in-law is going to work alone with a big belly until the Year of the Monkey?"
Guan Youquan sat on the edge of the kang and smiled noncommittally, "I'm not worried about you getting angry?" Dad, I want to go to my sister's place in the next two days. ”
Uncle Guan raised his head and removed his pipe, "If you want to find your brother-in-law?" You tell your sister that she won't pull you as a brother again, and don't recognize me as a father when she turns around, I don't have her as a girl. ”
Aunt Guan was about to speak.
"The wings are stiff, and one by one they don't take me as an old man. Say a few words to them, and they all learn to talk back......"
Listening to her wife's bombardment, Aunt Guan looked out of the window - she was told by her third son again, and he was really to blame for any unsatisfactory situation.
