Xiao Yao couldn't bear it and didn't run, but his eyes were in a trance at this time, and he didn't dare to look at his grandmother more, and he didn't even dare to raise his eyelids. He was indeed frightened, because behind Grandma Gu, along the back wall, a white wooden coffin was very conspicuously erected in a half-person high position.

If it was a different occasion, Xiao Yao would have run away without a trace. The reason why he didn't run away was only because he promised his mother that he would not be ashamed of her today.

"Second brother, eldest sister and second sister are all in the room, let's go over. ”

Gu Yunding saw that Xiao Yao was so afraid of his grandmother, so he quickly led him to a door on the right. The door was closed, but Xiao Yao heard the voices of many girls talking inside.

Xiao Yao resisted the strong desire to rush in, stood behind Gu Yunding, and waited for him to knock on the door. When I heard a knock on the door, there was a sudden silence inside. After opening her mouth to ask if it was Gu Yunding, a girl opened the door.

The door was just hidden, and it was the girl with pigtails who opened the door, and she saw Xiao Yao squeezing past Gu Yunding in a panic, and ran into the room first, so frightened that her mouth opened slightly. The five or six people in the room were all confused by Xiao Yao's actions.

is still the eldest sister Lao Dao, she saw Xiao Yao's expression change from panic to embarrassment when she saw her come in, and guessed that Xiao Yao must have been frightened by the coffin in her grandmother's room, but she didn't open it, and hurriedly introduced the sisters in the house to Xiao Yao.

Gu Yuncui was also in the room, she sat sideways on the bed, and when she saw Xiao Yao coming in, her face showed a deep worry, and she looked at Xiao Yao's gaze with deep concern.

Xiao Yao didn't remember who the eldest sister introduced was Xiaozhi, who was Xiaoyun, which was the sisters, and which was the sisters. Although his panic subsided, his mind had not yet fully recovered from the panic.

He just shouted casually after the introduction of the eldest sister, and nodded as acquaintance. In fact, there were only two of them, Xiao Yao met for the first time, and the three girls were also at the entrance of the village at the time, and they came back together.

"Second brother, you were so fierce to your brothers at the entrance of the village just now, why have you become so honest now? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes at the entrance of the village, I would have been fooled by you. How do I feel like you're a chameleon in a book. ”

As soon as there are many people, Xiao Yao will be bold, his mood at this time, which has recovered, saw the pigtail sister who teased him, his eyes were full of sarcastic eyes, and he couldn't help but say:

"Who's the chameleon? Isn't this the eldest sister and this sister here? Of course I have to behave. ”

"Rules? There were still eldest and second brothers at the time, why didn't you behave?"

The pigtails didn't believe Xiao Yao's explanation at all, pouting, and his face was full of disdain. Xiao Yao didn't know where he offended this pigtailed girl, why he always couldn't get along with himself, he was about to argue, only to hear the eldest sister shout:

"Yunjin, your little mouth, how can you catch and bite someone? Why did you meet, and you didn't let go like this? If you don't change your stubborn nature, how will you marry in the future?"

"Eldest sister, I don't like his honest appearance, there are too many honest people in our family, and he is always bullied. The eldest brother-in-law is the number one honest person in the world, the object of the elder sister, and a teacher and an honest person, is our ancient family going to be bullied all the time?"

This Gu Yunjin is the eldest daughter of Gu Yuncui's fifth uncle's family, and there are two younger brothers below. Her father and her uncle are both teachers at the village's primary school. Her personality is as strong as a boy, but she is a daughter, and many things that she doesn't accept are not easy to show up.

"Yunjin, don't say that, my ancient family ancestors preface, respect ancestors, relatives, brothers, harmonious clans, neighbors, godsons, forbidden, and honest. The elders have been teaching by word and deed until now, do you want to disobey it?"

Respect your ancestors and your father, and your family and neighbors. Be kind and loving, and be kind and charitable. Reading is still courteous, and getting rich is still righteous. Be honest and thrifty. These are all familiar teachings that have been passed down from generation to generation by the younger generations of the ancient family, and they are also the family style that the ancient family has always followed.

"Eldest sister, I'm not trying to disobey, I just think that people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden, and what I said is not wrong at all. The second brother is not from our Gu family, I heard that he beat the Liu family, and I was relieved. I liked his fierce stance, and I didn't like it at all when I saw him come in and be so honest. ”

The pigtails were scolded by the eldest sister, and the braids that were curled at the back of the head seemed to be drooping down, losing the vitality just now. It turned out that she and Xiao Yao were in trouble, and the problem was here. Xiao Yao said with a smile:

"Sister Yunjin, don't worry, in the future, I promise that no one will dare to bully your Gu family, as long as you don't bully others, whoever dares to bully you, I will definitely beat them to their knees and beg for mercy. ”

"Second brother, don't listen to her nonsense, get along with neighbors, how can there be a spatula that doesn't touch the edge of the pot? It's all trivial things, take a step back and open the sky, after so many years, haven't you all come over safely?"

This time it was another sister who spoke, and later Xiao Yao learned that she was the youngest girl in the uncle's family, that is, the eldest sister who had already been mouthed.

She is also a substitute teacher in the village primary school, and her family talks in Wuyang Town, which is the red line given by the director of the commune health center, and the wedding date has been set at this time.

"Sister, what you said is good, but even if we don't have the intention of offending others, we don't mean to offend me. Take the thief who always comes to steal our things, he is afraid of being beaten in other villages, and he is afraid to go, so he always comes to us to steal. ”

"We can't eat our own chickens and ducks, so they steal them and eat them. You say it's a trivial thing for them to steal chickens and dogs, but we are often so scared that we can't sleep all night. Even if he is caught, not only will they not let him be beaten and scolded, but they will also care about him to eat a full meal, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"Even so, have they restrained? Are they grateful? Don't they still come to visit once in a while? Haven't you yourself been so frightened that you don't dare to sleep alone at night, and have you come to sleep with me?"

Xiao Yao really understood the power of pigtails and mouth at this time, her tone like a cannon, thought-provoking topics, and the old lady who was a teacher was speechless.

"Alas, don't say it, the big ones also sympathize with the two thieves, they are poor orphans, they have not eaten or clothed since they were children, and if they didn't do these petty thefts, they would have starved to death. It's not that they're hungry, and they won't steal it casually. ”

When the eldest sister was not married, she also suffered greatly from these two thieves. But the elders took pity on the thief, and they didn't dare to do anything excessive.

"Hmph, they were poor people when they were young, and I gave them all to beg for food on the door panel. But now that he has grown up, he is a hateful person. Those who have arms and legs, and don't work all day, know that they are lazy to eat. If they don't give them food, they start stealing, which village around here hasn't stolen?"

After this conversation between pigtails and everyone, Xiao Yao really understood the Gu family, a small family of dozens of people, with so many teachers, it can indeed be called a scholarly family.

But they are too kind in the world, but it makes Xiao Yao a little funny. He had only read books about opening doors and thieves, and had not heard of anyone who caught a thief taking care of food.

"Sister Yunjin, do you know where the two brothers of the thief live?"

"No, it's ....... ”

"Yunjin!"

Pigtails was about to tell the address of the thief, but was frightened by the eldest sister's shouting. She pouted her little mouth and looked at her eldest sister with grievances. The eldest sister ignored her, turned to look at Xiao Yao and said:

"Xiao Yao, don't worry about this. They are scoundrels, and if you drip them off, they will be deceived (falsely). Staying at your door every day, not only is it noisy, but you also have to take care of food and shelter, no one can do anything about them, you can't kill them, right?"

"Well, eldest sister, I listen to you. ”

In order not to worry the eldest sister, Xiao Yao obediently agreed. But he had already made a plan in his heart, as long as he had the opportunity, he would definitely teach the two brothers a lesson and prevent them from coming here to harm the villagers again.

Seeing that Xiao Yao agreed to the eldest sister's request, Gu Yuncui, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed without speaking, was also a lot more relieved. After a little silence, the sisters in the room walked out one after another, and when Xiao Yao came back from his thoughts, only he and Gu Yuncui were left in the room.

Separate space, alone. Gu Yuncui blushed and bowed her head silently, her hands so nervous that she didn't know where to put them. Xiao Yao also felt embarrassed, he couldn't find a topic, and he didn't know what to say to her.

He wanted to leave, but he didn't know if it was reasonable, and then he thought that there was something scary outside, and he hesitated. Go, can't go, stay, have nothing to say. This embarrassing situation has been continued in the first time Xiao Yao and Gu Yuncui got along alone.

And Xiao Yao didn't like this silence for a while, because from Gu Yuncui's eyes that peeked from time to time, he found that her timid gaze was very bright, very clear, and very simple. made him have a stronger desire to protect her.

It wasn't until Gu Yunding came over and called them out to eat that this silent situation was broken. Xiao Yao followed Gu Yunding's left side, like an arrow, and hurried through his grandmother's room.

Fortunately, Grandma Gu had been invited to the banquet in advance to sit down, and she didn't see Xiao Yao's embarrassment. Although Xiao Yao didn't have the impression of being rude, Gu Yunding, who came out with him, and Gu Yuncui, who was walking behind, were both frightened by his actions.

In the hall outside, a table of elders who were originally sitting at the big table of incense tables, including Xiao Yao's mother, were all invited to sit down at a table in the west room, and the three tables outside were basically filled by the younger generations of the Gu family.

Xiao Yao never saw his younger brother, who was a classmate of him, and only later heard that he was studying in the county No. 2 Middle School. Xiao Yao was let to the table where the elder was sitting just now, and sat in the horizontal seat, and a strange eldest brother and eldest sister sat at the upper seat.

The old lady sat opposite Xiao Yao with Gu Yuncui. Beside Xiao Yao, there was a boy who was holding a pot ring in the morning, and Gu Yunding and the girl with pigtails were sitting at the bottom. The rest of the people also sat down next to the other two people in turn according to their age.

Everyone sat at the table together, eating melon seeds and waiting for the food to be served, chattering non-stop. Without the presence of the elders, the atmosphere was completely different from before, and even Xiao felt a lot more relaxed physically and mentally.

After a while, the young woman who intercepted Xiao Yao and the woman who was eating shrimp served the food to the table of the elders inside, and when Xiao Yao came to this table, only two wine glasses were served in front of Xiao Yao's side.

"Second brother, they don't know how to drink, and I don't drink much, so I'll drink with you today. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yao tilted his head to look at the boy next to him who stood up and poured himself wine, and saw that he was not tall, but he had thick eyebrows and big eyes.
