Chapter Twenty-Four: Dry Firewood

"I'm not teasing grandpa, I'm telling the truth, I don't believe you ask Xingshen. "Such a topic should still be thrown to Gu Xingshen.

Gu Xingshen brought the water to Cheng Qingxue's face and looked at his grandfather. "Yes, grandpa, what Qingxue said is right, our good days are coming soon. ”

After speaking, Gu Xingshen walked to the table, picked up the clothes he bought for his grandfather today, and handed them to Cheng Qingxue.

Cheng Qingxue took a big gulp of water, saw the things Gu Xingshen handed to her, and said in surprise: "Grandpa, this is really a surprise, look at it, this is the clothes I bought for you with Xingshen today." ”

While speaking, Cheng Qingxue handed the clothes to the old man.

The old man took the clothes and got up slowly, and when he touched the fabric of the clothes, he knew that it must not be cheap.

"Qingxue, Xingshen, how much does this dress cost?"

Hearing this, Cheng Qingxue coughed softly, and was about to speak when she was interrupted by Gu Xingshen.

"Grandpa, this dress is eighteen dollars. ”

As soon as the old man heard the eighteen yuan, his face changed suddenly, and the clothes that he was holding tightly in his hand just now were put in the bag at once.

"This dress is too expensive, go deep, you can go and return it for me tomorrow. ”

As soon as she heard that she was going to return her clothes, Cheng Qingxue hurriedly said: "Grandpa, don't, this dress is something that Xingshen and I have selected for you for a long time, if you don't like it, we will buy you another one tomorrow, and you can try again." ”

Cheng Qingxue thought that the old man didn't like the style of this dress, and she was anxious.

She glanced at Gu Xingshen helplessly, and didn't know what to do for a while.

I saw the old man sigh and said lightly: "Qingxue, we are no longer the family we used to be, and it is not easy for you and Beishen to earn some centimeters every day." When you didn't come to our house before, all the firewood that Beishen went to the mountains to cut had to be sold at the market. The money from the sale was only enough to feed the two of us. Every night, the barn was leaking all the time. All of this is because you have come here and it has slowly gotten better, you look at this coal, how good. ”

The old man's words made Cheng Qingxue understand why the old man didn't like this dress. It turned out that it was because the old man disliked that the price of clothes was too expensive.

At this moment, Gu Xingshen spoke.

"Grandpa, today we went to the county seat to sell coal, and we sold more than 80 yuan of coal with two baskets on our backs. Therefore, Qingxue thinks that the two of us must buy you a dress. So, I bought you this one. ”

As soon as Gu Xingshen's words were finished, Cheng Qingxue hurriedly added: "Yes, grandpa, we have touched this dress for you many times, it is very warm." In the future, if it gets a little colder, you can wear this coat in the morning, and you can also go out for a walk, so that it won't be cold. ”

Cheng Qingxue and Gu Xingshen said one by one, and in the end, they still let the old man accept the dress.

After dinner, Cheng Qingxue lay on the bed early.

In the past two days, she has been a little tired, and she has to get up early tomorrow morning to go to the theater, so she is ready to go to bed early.

Just when she was brewing sleep, Gu Xingshen's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Qingxue, thank you for buying clothes for grandpa today. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Qingxue said lightly: "You don't have to thank me, your grandfather is my grandfather, and I naturally want to be good to my grandfather." ”

After speaking, she turned over and got up, thinking that the coal money sold today had not been given to Gu Xingshen.

She handed all the money to Gu Xingshen from the mezzanine of her clothes. "This is the money left over after buying things today, and you take it. ”

Gu Xingshen heard Cheng Qingxue's words, but did not accept the money in Cheng Qingxue's hand. just said lightly: "After the establishment of our new country, there is another rule, the money must be managed by the wife." After speaking, Gu Xingshen paused and said, "I'll go to bed first." ”

Cheng Qingxue, who was sitting on the bed, looked dazed, and Gu Xingshen's words just now made her puzzled.

Didn't he say yes before, but just registered? Why did he become his wife?

Cheng Qingxue dragged the mosquito net and saw Gu Xingshen lying on the bed, and decided not to continue to ask.

She lay down on the bed again, her eyes slightly closed. After a while, I fell asleep.

The next day, Cheng Qingxue got up early in the morning as usual.

This morning's events were bigger than usual, and she would never allow herself to be late.

Gu Xingshen, who was asleep, heard the slow and smooth sound of water, and in the end, he was woken up. When she saw Cheng Qingxue washing her face, suddenly, he gently patted Cheng Qingxue's shoulder from behind her.

Cheng Qingxue was about to scream, but Gu Xingshen hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover her mouth.

"Qingxue, it's me. ”

Hearing the sound, Cheng Qingxue relaxed a little. Seeing that Cheng Qingxue was relaxed, Gu Xingshen let go of his hand and said lightly: "You got up so early, do you want to go to the mountains to dig coal?"

Cheng Qingxue shook her head, today's matter is much more important than digging coal.

Presumably, last night, Xia Yao and Fu Yishan were definitely dry firewood. What she has to do next is only to incite the old comrades in the village to squat in front of Xia Yao's house.

As long as Fu Yishan comes out of Xia Yao's house with sleepy eyes at that time, then this scene will be completed.

"I'm not going to the mountains today, I'm going to see a good show, do you want to go with me? ”

Hearing Cheng Qingxue's sneering voice, Gu Xingshen's heart was silently mourning for Cheng Qingxue's tricky person.

Although Cheng Qingxue is just a rural girl, she has not as much knowledge as Cheng Qingxue, even the best women in the city.

This is Gu Xingshen's view of Cheng Qingxue.

"Then I'll go with you. ”

"Good. ”

Cheng Qingxue and Gu Xingshen were busy for a while, and then hurriedly went out.

After walking for more than half an hour, the two stopped not far from Xia Yao's home.

Cheng Qingxue looked at the aunt who was coming and going with sharp eyes, and suddenly, she saw the mother of the second dog, and she hurriedly greeted her.

"Ergou Mom, I'll talk to you about something. ”

As soon as the second dog's mother, who was about to earn a job, heard that there was gossip, the curiosity in her heart suddenly rose, and she looked at Cheng Qingxue excitedly, "What's the matter, say it quickly." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Qingxue smiled proudly.

This second dog mother, she knows very well that in the whole village, and even in the whole township, the gossip person is the second dog mother.

In order to be able to squat at this second dog mother, Cheng Qingxue still spent a lot of effort.

"Ergou Mom, don't tell anyone that I'm not going out for a walk with my family today. Then, I saw a wild man appear in the house of the village party secretary. Besides, I heard the crying, what do you tell me about this?"

Cheng Qingxue misinterpreted the meaning of a veteran, and when the second dog's mother heard it, she immediately became interested.

Under the repeated interrogation of the second dog's mother, and under Cheng Qingxue's flickering, after a while, Xia Yao's door was surrounded by a lot of people.

At the village party secretary's house, Xia Yao was squatting on the ground and sobbing at this time, but Fu Yishan on the side seemed a lot calmer.

He has always wanted to realize what happened last night, but Xia Yao is not very willing, so he has never succeeded.

But last night, for some reason, Xia Yao knocked him down before, and he naturally couldn't resist.

"Daddy Xia Yao, I'm sorry Yaoyao, I will definitely be responsible to the end. ”

Fu Yishan's first step at this time has already been taken, and the second step is to successfully get Xia Yao's father's favor, so that his hope of returning to the city is quite great.

When Xia Yao's father heard Fu Yishan's words, he was a little angry and a little helpless. In his heart, he actually likes Fu Yishan very much, he is also a young man, and his future is promising.

But something like this happened at this time, and he couldn't control the situation at all.

Try to think about it, as a village party secretary, what happened to his daughter and a man in an unclear situation, and I don't know what others will say about him?
