Chapter 363: Preface to the Examination (7)

Previous Chapter

The midday sun is warm, and the blue sky is full of white clouds, so this good weather is of course the best time to dry clothes.

In the front yard of the ancient family, Gu Sisi and her mother were drying the washed clothes. Taking advantage of the good sun, Chen Xinling took off the sheets, quilt covers, and even curtains at home and cleaned them, of course, the old lady did not pull them down in the house.

Gu Sisi didn't want his mother to be too tired, so he also helped to clean up, even Gu Xing'an and Gu Xinghua were not idle, boiling hot water while carrying water, after all, the well water in winter is very cold, if it is washed with well water, this hand must be frozen.

Brother Hao knew that he couldn't help, so he obediently stayed in the hall and wrote big characters. The little guy sat in front of his own special small desk, his back straight, his right hand was carefully writing the homework assigned by his sister one by one, and his left hand was pressing the paper, and the little one looked very serious.

The quiet hall, in addition to the breathing of the grandparents and grandchildren, there will be bursts of snoring from time to time, take a closer look, it turned out to be the snoring of the leopard cat lightning, at this moment this fat guy is curled up in a ball nesting on Hao Ge'er's legs, if it weren't for the tail that wagged at that time, it was really difficult to find it there.

In the cold winter, the ocelot lightning is a mobile stove, but this is not a nest in anyone's arms, and the lightning likes to stick to Gu Sisi the most on weekdays, and then it is Brother Hao, so at night, as long as the lightning is at home, it is nested next to Gu Sisi, otherwise it will sleep with Brother Hao. And Gu Xing'an, he wanted to sleep with lightning the most at night, but unfortunately he didn't succeed once, whether it was feeding or playing, lightning ignored it.

I don't know if lightning has spirituality, or Gu Xing'an doesn't like lightning, every time Gu Xing'an bribes lightning with jerky, lightning is what should be eaten or eaten, what should be played is still played, after eating and playing, it is not to Gu Xing'an, the most annoying thing is that lightning will also use its big eyes full of spirituality, look at Gu Xing'an, and then take a proud step and leave, you say it will look at it, but how to look in that look like a trace of disgust!

The most unbearable thing is that Gu Xing'an himself doesn't have a long memory, and Lightning doesn't know how many times he has rejected him, but Gu Xing'an himself has healed the scar and forgot the pain, he is stunned to perform it once a day and every day, that is, Gu Sisi, who is a younger sister, is helpless.

At this time, the lightning was sleeping soundly, and its snoring could be heard from time to time. Brother Hao seemed to be accustomed to the weight of lightning, and still sat on the small bench, and his appearance of focusing on writing seriously made the old man on the side very happy.

The old man has lost a lot of weight these days, but his spirit has deteriorated a lot, if it weren't for the fact that the old lady's mood has stabilized a lot recently, and a few grandchildren are by his side, the old man is estimated to be not sick, and it will be difficult to alleviate this mood for a while.

The old man put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the little grandson who lowered his head and wrote seriously, and couldn't help but think of his youngest son in Star City, and when he thought of the younger son and his wife, the old man couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

As he got older, the old man wanted his sons to stay by his side more and more, but he knew in his heart that this was unrealistic. The eldest son is foolish and filial, and he has been harmed by his wife all his life, Gu Desheng often thinks that if he didn't let the old woman do everything before, maybe the eldest son would not have become this character, fortunately, Hua Ge'er, the eldest grandson, is a good one, otherwise he will not be able to walk steadily even if he reaches the limit in the future.

The old man also complained to himself that he was not a good father and did not fulfill his duties as a father. The son didn't teach well, it was his negligence, but the grandson can't be the same as the son, so he hopes that he can spend the rest of his time with his grandchildren, watch his grandchildren grow up, and it is best to see his grandchildren get married and start a business.

Among his grandchildren, he is most worried about Hua Ge'er and Hao Ge'er. Hua Ge'er has a deep grudge against his father, and this knot can't be resolved even by an old man like him, after all, it is related to Hua Ge'er's biological mother. The old man knew that Hua Ge'er would not forgive his father, but he knew that Hua Ge'er was reasonable, and he still hoped that Hua Ge'er would be able to provide for his eldest son in the future.

The old man of the second family is a lot more relieved, the second daughter-in-law is kind, sensible and educated, that is, Brother An and Siwaer both teach very well, if it were not for the old woman to hold the country with filial piety, the second family must be very good now.

Brother Hao'er is mentally incomplete, but God still gave him hope, watching the little grandson learn from scratch, watching the little grandson learn to write stroke by stroke, memorize poems and arithmetic, little by little from nothing, to the exit can memorize ancient poems, he knows that the little grandson still has hope, maybe reading is the biggest way out for the grandson.

When the old man thought of the unfilial girl again, the smile on the old man's face gradually disappeared, and when he remembered the things that the unfilial girl did and the words she said, the old man's face turned a little gray.

"Grandpa, grandpa......" The old man's mood was very low, and he didn't hear his grandson call him, and when his grandson called him loudly again, he reacted, looking at his grandson's confused appearance, the old man smiled and asked: "Ah, Haohao, what's wrong?" Grandpa just took a nap and didn't hear what Haohao said. What does my family Haohao say, tell my grandfather again. ”

"Grandpa, look at what I wrote, it's all finished. Brother Hao nodded, then picked up the words written in his hand and handed it to his grandfather, with a faint expectation on his little face.

"Okay, grandpa, just look at it. The old man got up and took the words written by his grandson, smiled and touched his grandson's head, and then looked at the words in his hand. Although the words on the paper are immature, they are better than serious, although they are a little crooked, but it can be seen that the grandson is writing with his heart, "Well, yes, Haohao's words have improved, Haohao must remember, this word has to be practiced every day, this pulls down the next day, what you wrote before is wasted." ”

"Grandpa, Hao Hao is obedient, my sister said, Hao Hao does. When Brother Hao heard what his grandfather said, a big smile appeared on his little face.

"Good, good, Hao Hao is a good boy. Your sister is right, do you know what she has to say?" The old man looked at his grandson with great satisfaction, and there was a trace of tears in his wrinkled old eyes.

In the small courtyard, Chen Xinling washed the last sheet and was about to pour out the dirty water, when she saw a pair of hands take the basin in her hand, and then she heard Brother Hua'er's voice sound, "Second aunt, do you still need hot water? If it's not enough, Brother An and I will burn it again." ”

"Yes, yes, Mom, if the hot water is not enough, you can say that boiling water is easy. Gu Xing'an walked over with a bucket of hot water, and hurriedly echoed when he heard what his eldest brother said.

"Enough, enough, I can't check this much, just wash it twice. You two go wash your hands and go to the hall for a while. Chen Xinling looked at her son and nephew and said with a smile.

"Second aunt, Brother and I will help wash the sheets. We couldn't wash our clothes cleanly, but it was okay to wash them thoroughly. The sun is fine today, so maybe it will dry out before it sets. Gu Xinghua pointed to the sheets and quilt covers in the basin on the side, looked at his aunt and said.

"Okay, you two wash your hands, and your aunt can rest for a while, you two just wash the water in this basin, and then put it in the bucket to dry, and then dry it on the rope over there." Chen Xinling looked at her nephew and didn't refuse, it's a good thing that the child is willing to help with the work.

"Mom, I'll go and make noodles, and you'll go and rest for a while when you're done. Gu Sisi shook the water in his hand and said to his mother with a smile. The washing machine in this year is not fully automatic, one side of the bucket washing, the other is to spin the bucket, although it is troublesome, but it is much better than hand washing, but it is so, and it is not good to tire people.

"Can you do it? I'm going to make a lot of cakes and noodles to mix today, and I'll wash them later, and I'll get them." Chen Xinling looked at her daughter's red little face and said uneasily.

"Mom, I can do it, you can rest assured. Gu Sisi smiled and said that he was completely fine.

"Mom, the little sister is amazing, isn't it just a face, that pair of little sisters is a piece of cake. Gu Xing'an disagreed, and said with a smile while shaking the sheets with his eldest brother.

"Really?" Chen Xinling looked at her daughter, and when she saw her daughter nodding, she agreed, but she still told her daughter: "That's okay, Sisi, come slowly, take a small basin and make it first, don't worry!"

"Uh-huh, I know. Gu Sisi saw her mother nodding and turned around and walked towards the stove room.

"Mom, I haven't eaten it for a long time, big brother, do you want to eat?" Gu Xing'an saw his sister leaving, and came to his mother's side with a smile, and said that he didn't forget to give his eldest brother a look.

"Okay, you can say you want to eat if you want to eat, see what your eldest brother does? Later, you can cut some leeks and wash them, and bake some eggs and leeks for you to eat, okay!" The son's small movements, but they did not escape Chen Xinling's eyes, when did this stinky boy learn this trick.

"Hey, hey, Mom, I'm not afraid you won't do it, hey, Mom, you're the best, thank you, Mom! I'll cut the leeks later, and I'll keep them clean." Gu Xing'an scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, his small movements were noticed by his mother, Jiang is still old and spicy!
