"Build roads?"

Gu Mu sneered at Xiaoxiao's question and pointed in the direction of his house:

"Look at the good things they have done, they have ripped off the yard of my house, what roads should I build for them? Will they come and demolish my house after the roads are repaired?"

"That's just a few, right?" Xiaoxiao said, "But your road building is good for everyone, it is a very meritorious thing, and if you do such a thing, the gods will definitely protect you." ”

Xiaoxiao grew up in the Taoist temple since she was a child, and she was instilled by these feudal superstitious thoughts, and she very much believed in the saying that doing good will get good, and doing evil will get evil.

Do a little more good deeds, and you will be able to reap good results in the future.

And building bridges and repairing roads is a great good deed.

"I've donated so much money to your Sanxiao Niangniang of Sanxiao Temple to reshape the golden body, Sanxiao Niangniang should be able to protect me, right?"

Gu Mu said.

"Well, Niang Niang will definitely protect you. Xiaoxiao said.

"That's fine," Gu Mu said, "If it doesn't work, I'm donating 100,000 yuan of incense money to your Taoist temple." ”

"Husband, you're really good!" Xiaoxiao said excitedly.

As for the road construction, she forgot about it.

The three of them borrowed Xie Sanbo's tools, and after using them for so long, they naturally had to return them.

But before he reached the door of Xie Sanbo's house, he saw dozens of people standing outside his yard.

These people don't know Gu Mu except for those under the age of 20, and the rest have some familiar faces.

Basically, it's the people of their production group.

Those who remain in the countryside now, except for those over the age of fifty or sixties, are those who are a few years old and in their teens.

Gu Mu has been away for so long, he naturally doesn't know those children, but he has some impressions of those old people who are fifty or sixty years old or even sixty or seventy years old.

Although there will be some changes in the elderly, the changes are not that big.

Some of the people here live a little farther away, on the other side of the village.

Gu Mu also knew - because it was his uncle.

As soon as his uncle saw him, he came over very enthusiastically: "Xiao Mu, you finally remember to go home, I haven't seen you for many years, and your grandmother mentioned a while ago that you didn't know what life you lived alone outside, and she cried as she spoke." I finally saw you coming, I have asked your aunt to kill the chicken and prepare lunch, you can go back with me. ”

As he spoke, he took Gu Mu's hand very enthusiastically.

Gu Mu was a little stunned.

His uncle, he has a deep impression, and he was not good to his mother and him back then.

He always scolded his mother for embarrassing his family, so that their family couldn't hold their heads up in the village.

When he was in junior high school, he didn't have tuition, and his mother wanted to borrow it from his uncle, but was rejected and mercilessly ridiculed:

"That kid of yours is not a school material at all, so it is better to let him drop out of school early and help you do some work. ”

- Okay, now Gu Mu must also admit that what people say is the truth, he is indeed not the material for studying, after finishing junior high school, he did not continue to study, not because of the problem of tuition fees, but because he could not be admitted to high school.

But that kind of ridicule hurt his young heart a lot at that time.

It also made his mother very sad.

As a result, he still borrowed a few hundred yuan from the same group of Xie Sanbo's family to pay his tuition.

And his grandmother, although she sometimes helps his mother, always looks down on him as a grandson.

On the one hand, it may be because of his father, because his father always bullied his mother and lost his good opinion of him.

On the other hand, I probably dislike him for not being productive.

After I didn't go to junior high school, I was not very old, and I couldn't go out to work, and I did farm work at home for a few years, and I wasn't a person who knew how to farm, and I didn't speak well.

In Gu Mu's memory, his grandmother had never given him a good face since he was a child, so under normal circumstances, he would not go to his grandmother's house.

After his mother died, he never went to his grandmother's house, not once.

It's such a family, such an indifferent relationship, and now his uncle is so enthusiastic that he wants to go back to dinner, and said that his grandmother mentioned that he shed tears, which really made him unbelievable.

I didn't feel enthusiasm, I only felt a very serious diaphragm.

Sometimes, there are memories that can't be erased.

When he was hesitating, another old man came over and said to Gu Mu's uncle: "The surname Wang, where do you want Xiao Mu to go back? He is not from your Wang family, but from our Gu family, if you want to go back, he will also go back to our Gu family, what does it have to do with your surname Wang?"

This old man Gu Mu also knows, and he is still his seventh uncle.

There are eight brothers and sisters in his father, his father is the fifth, and this old man is the seventh, and the village is either called Uncle Gu Qi, or Gu Laoqi.

His father was more than twenty years older than his mother, and this seventh uncle was also fifteen or sixteen years older than his mother, and he was already very old.

Gu Laoqi reprimanded Gu Mu's uncle a few words, and then smiled at Gu Mu again: "Xiao Mu, you can be regarded as coming back, we are worried that we have been out alone for so many years and have not come back." Let's go for a walk and go to my house, where the meal is already being prepared. ”

Gu Mu felt even more delirious.

His father treated him very badly, not to mention his seventh uncle, who often scolded him for being a wild seed.

Especially after his father's death, the seventh uncle quarreled many times with his family for the matter of the field, and at that time, the orphans and widows were easier to bully, so they took away more than an acre of land, and made his mother so angry that she became seriously ill.

He had never seen such an enthusiastic expression on this person's face.

Gu Mu hadn't said anything yet, his uncle's face had changed, and he sneered at Gu Laoqi and said:

"Are you embarrassed to ask Xiao Mu to go to your house? When did you treat him as a family? Back then, in order to fight for a piece of land, my sister was so angry that she became seriously ill, and my sister died so early, it has nothing to do with the lack of virtue you did, and people like you are still embarrassed to ask Xiao Mu to go to your house?"

Gu Lao Qi's face turned red, and he said loudly: "When is that old Huang Li, what do you mean by talking about this? No matter what, Xiao Mu is a member of our Gu family, and has nothing to do with your Wang family." ”

After a pause, he said, "Isn't what you are doing lacking in virtue? The house of the Xiaomu family is there, who pried open the door of his house and took everything out there?"

Gu Mu's uncle was suddenly embarrassed, glanced at Gu Mu, and explained: "I saw that there was no one in his house, and I was afraid that others would steal his things, so I took it over to help him keep it." ”

Then he said angrily: "But what did you do? You ripped off all the yards of his house, and demolished all the doors and windows, so you are even more lacking in virtue, right?"
