72 Chapter 72
Gu Manniang found a clean back basket, and directly put Tang Xiaobao and Niuniu into the back basket and let them stand in the back basket. Then Gu Manniang easily picked up the back basket.
Originally, Gu Xiaoshan wanted to rush to carry it, but Gu Manniang refused. The combined weight of Tang Xiaobao and Niuniu's two children is simply a drizzle for Gu Manniang, so she doesn't need help.
Along the way, Gu Xiaoshan was very interested in Gu Manniang's hunting, and asked Gu Manniang about these things along the way.
This made Gu Manniang a little puzzled, just now Gu Xiaoshan obviously looked unbelieving, how could she believe that she really knew how to hunt in the blink of an eye?
Gu Manniang can understand if she can't figure it out. Gu Xiaoshan had never believed that his sister had suddenly become powerful. But just now he found a lot of chicken feathers and rabbit skins in Tang's house. Seeing so much evidence, he couldn't help but believe it.
When he knew that his sister could really go into the mountains to hunt, and she was quite powerful. Therefore, Gu Xiaoshan now looked at Gu Manniang with admiration.
"Eldest sister, can you teach me to hunt." After being curious, Gu Xiaoshan naturally wanted to go up the mountain to hunt with Gu Manniang.
"No, it's too dangerous to go up the mountain." Gu Manniang didn't think about it, and directly rejected Gu Xiaoshan's request. The mountain is dangerous, if she really agrees to Gu Xiaoshan to go hunting in the mountains with her, if something happens, Gu Lao Niang's virtue will not swallow her alive. Therefore, Gu Manniang would never take Gu Xiaoshan into the mountain.
"Eldest sister, you are not afraid of danger as a woman, and I am naturally not afraid of any danger as a man." Gu Xiaoshan said.
Gu Manniang glanced at Gu Xiaoshan, and without much explanation, she directly picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground, and with a slight force, the stone was immediately crushed by her. "If you can have my ability, I will take you into the mountains."
Gu Manniang's hand really scared Gu Xiaoshan a lot. He really didn't expect his sister's strength to become so great. Don't look at the stone is only the size of a fist, but if you really want to crush it, it will definitely not be as easy as his sister.
Gu Manniang showed such a hand, Gu Xiaoshan no longer dared to say anything about men and women in front of her. also stopped mentioning the matter of going into the mountain with Gu Manniang. Gu Manniang was very satisfied with this.
Soon Gu Manniang and they came to Gujiazhuang. It is said that Gujiazhuang was first migrated from the north by one of the Gu families in the north to escape the war, and gradually became large-scale through several generations of management. Now in addition to the Gu family, there are also a few families with foreign surnames in Gujiazhuang. Now the patriarch of the Gu family, Gu Manniang still has to call the third grandfather.
Of course, the Gu family and the patriarch's family cannot be compared. This patriarch is the richest family in Gujiazhuang, but the Gu family has not yet escaped poverty.
"Dad, mother, my eldest sister is back." Gu Xiaoshan ran back one step earlier. And Gu Manniang followed behind with the child on her back.
When she came to the Gu family, Gu Manniang couldn't help but look at the place where she grew up. The Gu family looked much poorer than the Tang family. The Tang family is still a tiled house, but the Gu family is a real thatched house.
Not long after Gu Xiaoshan ran in, and after a while, a man with a little back came out of the thatched house, and the person who came was none other than Gu Manniang's father.
"Manniang is back, quick, come in." Old man Gu greeted Gu Manniang into the house with a warm face.
Regarding Old Man Gu's enthusiasm, Gu Manniang's expression was always light. Don't look at his enthusiasm now, when Gu Manniang had no ability in the past, she never gave her a good look. Now this enthusiasm is not to get some benefit from her.
"My sister is back, come inside." After a while, a man walked out. This person is Gu Manniang's eldest brother. In the same way, he is also enthusiastic. "Tired, put people down." Saying that, Gu Dashan was going up to help.
"No, you don't." Gu Manniang avoided Gu Dashan and went directly into the house with people on her back.
Gu Manniang didn't give Gu Dashan face so much, Gu Dashan's face couldn't help but sink. Dead sister, now that she has a long ability, she dares to show him a face, and when she has the opportunity, see how he cleans up this dead girl.
If Gu Manniang knew what Gu Dashan was thinking, she would definitely tell him very clearly that she wanted to clean her up and wait for the next life.
"Ouch, eldest sister, you're finally here. My mother has been at home for a long time. Sister-in-law Yun Niang said enthusiastically.
Gu Manniang rolled her eyes speechlessly, this is talking about her, it is talking about her benefits.
"I'm going to pour some water for you and your nephews." No matter how cold Gu Manniang was, it did not reduce the Gu family's enthusiasm for her.
Yun Niang secretly snorted Gu Manniang when Gu Manniang was not paying attention. When I went back to my mother's house, I didn't take anything. What a miserly mother-in-law. also said that he had the ability, but if he had the ability, he couldn't think of the use of his mother's family. Sure enough, it was the water spilled by the married daughter, and it was really accompanied by money, and the three words scolded were not wrong at all.
Yun Niang scolded Gu Manniang behind her back for accompanying money, she didn't want to think about herself, she herself was a woman with Gu Manniang, and she scolded her sister-in-law as a money-loser, so would her mother-in-law's sister-in-law also scold her for losing money. Some things can be reported one after another......
Gu Manniang let Gu Xiaoshan take care of her two children, but she went to the house to take care of Lao Niang.
Gu Lao Niang was lying on the bed, with a wet handkerchief on her head. Don't look at her now, before Gu Xiaoshan didn't go home just now, she was still very alive. As soon as she heard Gu Xiaoshan's shout, she immediately got into the bed, and in order to achieve the effect, she also asked Yun Niang to put a handkerchief on her forehead. The wet veil was placed on his forehead, and it looked quite like that.
Gu Lao Niang saw Gu Manniang coming in, and said weakly, "Manniang, you are here." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to shake Gu Manniang's hand.
But Gu Manniang didn't get what she wanted, and after nodding to Gu Lao Niang, she found a clean bench and sat down.
Gu Lao Niang wanted to act, but Gu Manniang didn't cooperate, how could she sing this play. Fortunately, this play is not an actor of Gu Lao Niang. When Old Man Gu saw that Gu Manniang was not on the road like this, he immediately darkened his face. When Gu Dashan saw it, he quickly pulled his clothes.
Gu Dashan reminded him like this, and the old man Gu's face looked a little better, but he still stretched his face at Gu Manniang, "Manniang, we know that we were sorry for you before." But there are no parents in this world who are not, and now that you have the ability, don't you plan to recognize us as a father. ”
If she could, Gu Manniang really wanted to tell them that she really didn't want to recognize their fathers and mothers.
"Okay, old man, Manniang finally came back to see us, so don't stretch your face." Gu Lao Niang hurriedly played the round. Today's Manniang is not the Manniang they beat and scolded in the past. Now they are begging Manniang, but they can't treat her like before.
"I don't have any skills, it's very difficult for me to even support myself now, so what's the ability." Gu Manniang said lightly.
"Manniang, don't try to lie to us. But we've heard that you go into the mountains every day, and when you hunt your game, you go to the town and sell it. At least a few taels of silver came in every day. If you say that you have no ability, then others will not dare to say that you have ability. Gu Dashan said with a smile.
Gu Manniang sneered, she knew that there was nothing good to come to her. "I'm very good at hunting now, since you know so much, then you should also know that I have a lot of food now, and if I don't eat five or six catties of food at a meal, I can't eat enough at all."
The Gu family naturally knew that Gu Manniang was not lying, but they didn't believe that even if Gu Manniang could eat again, she wouldn't be able to eat a few taels of silver a day, and there would definitely be leftovers.
"Manniang, we don't ask for anything else, just ask you to send us some wild things every once in a short time, and let my father and mother taste the taste of meat. You can't be a married daughter who eats a lot of fish and meat every day, and your father and mother can't eat enough every day. Gu Dashan said with a smile.
Gu Dashan felt that their request was really not enough, they didn't want silver, they just wanted to ask Gu Manniang to come back and fight tooth sacrifices.
Gu Manniang looked at Gu Dashan with a smile on her face, "Big brother, since you know that your father and mother can't eat enough every day, then why don't you, the son, think of a way, but find me, the daughter who got married." Big brother, haven't you heard of the water spilled by the married daughter? I have already spilled this pot, so it makes sense to let my spilled water come back to support my mother's father. ”
Gu Manniang clearly told Gu Dashan that it was not her fault that her parents couldn't eat enough, and she could only blame him for being a son.
"Manniang, how did you speak." If Old Man Gu hadn't been afraid of Gu Manniang's strength, he would have stepped forward to beat people up a long time ago.
"I'm telling the truth." Gu Manniang glanced at Old Man Gu lightly.
"You ......"
Seeing that it was about to quarrel, Yun Niang walked in with water, "Big sister, drink it, I also put sugar in this water, it's very sweet." ”
was interjected by Yun Niang like this, and the tense atmosphere in the room just now was immediately interrupted by her.
Gu Lao Niang took this opportunity to hurriedly say, "Eldest daughter-in-law, your sister rarely comes back, you go and cook Chinese rice, last time Manniang gave me half of the rabbit left, you also took it down and made ......"
Gu Lao Niang explained a lot in one go.
When Gu Manniang heard that Gu Lao Niang asked Yun Niang to cook the rabbit meat she gave, Gu Manniang's first reaction was that the rabbit meat was not bad, could it still be eaten?
That rabbit was taken from her by Gu Lao Niang a few days ago, and in such a hot weather, I am afraid it would have stinked a long time ago. Thinking of this, Gu Manniang couldn't drink the so-called sugar boiled water in Gu Manniang's hand. She was afraid that the sugar was also expired.
"I'm not thirsty yet, I'll give you this sugar water." Gu Manniang directly handed the bowl to Gu Lao Niang.
Seeing that Gu Manniang was so filial, Gu Lao Niang's face was immediately full of smiles. "Okay, I'll drink, I'll drink."
Gu Manniang watched her finish drinking a bowl of water, and muttered to herself, I don't know if she will have diarrhea after drinking this water. If you really have diarrhea, you will be really sick, and you don't need to pretend anymore.
