Chapter Twenty-Four: Nothing to Do Goes to the Three Treasures Palace
"I'll come to you and get my two old clothes. www.biquge.info"Ma entered the room, sat down across from her, and his gaze fell on her face, which was very sharp, as if it had some kind of penetrating magic.
"Eh, I'll give it to you." Hearing this, Chen hurriedly got up, and she didn't know if she was nervous or what, she touched the needlework basket next to her to the ground, and all kinds of silk threads fell to the ground, and she squatted down and hurriedly picked it up.
Ma just looked at her quietly and didn't say a word, Chen put away the sewing basket, and then went to the cabinet to take out the folded clothes and handed them to Ma.
Ma Shi stretched out his hand to take the cotton clothes, but he had no intention of leaving, his eyes were still staring at her face, Chen Shi felt more and more flustered, she was afraid of this mother-in-law for so many years, I can't tell the reason, if I say it in conscience, Ma is not a bad mother-in-law, although I don't want to see her, but I haven't beaten and scolded, but she is very scared.
"My nephew is going to marry a daughter-in-law after a while, and my body hasn't been very good lately, so you can go for me."
"Ahh Good. Chen didn't expect it to be this, so he nodded his head in agreement.
Ma Shi looked at her again, then got up and left. Chen sat in the room, breathing a long sigh of relief, his palms unconsciously stained with a thin layer of sweat.
Gu Siniang looked at the whole row of jars in the yard, and she was very satisfied. These persimmons will soon turn into white flowers.
As soon as the jar was sealed, a familiar voice came to mind outside the door, Gu Yuanniang frowned, "Why are they here?" ”
"What else can you do, it's definitely not good." Gu Erniang pursed her lips.
Gu Siniang didn't know what was going on, she looked at the door curiously, and after a while, a woman wearing a floral jacket appeared, looking like she was in her thirties, followed by an eight or nine-year-old boy, the boy looked up with a round fleshy face, a high-spirited look, and looked into the house with small eyes, looking at it like a spoiled bear child.
"Second aunt, why are you here?" Gu Yuanniang was the oldest, so she naturally wanted to get up and say hello.
"Yo, it's Yuan Niang. I haven't seen each other for a few days, and I've grown into a big girl in the blink of an eye. Qian walked over with a smile, and a pair of eyes swirled around Gu Yuanniang.
"Hehe, second aunt, you really know how to laugh." Gu Yuanniang laughed dryly twice, and she felt a little hairy when she saw it.
Qian's gaze swept around the courtyard, and finally landed on the row of jars in the corner of the courtyard, and asked with some curiosity, "Yuan Niang, what are those jars for?" ”
"Oh, it's Siniang who has nothing to do and pours some persimmons to eat." Gu Yuanniang said with a smile.
"Persimmons?" Qian was stunned for a moment, looking at the expressions of Gu Yuanniang and the others, he couldn't help but feel a little pity, but his voice was gloating, "You usually eat this?" ”
Gu Yuanniang just wanted to explain, but Gu Siniang took the first step and said, "We eat well, do you want to taste one?" As she spoke, she handed a golden fruit in her hand to Qian.
Qian waved his hand again and again, "No, no, I can't get used to eating this thing." ”
"In this case, then I won't force it." Gu Siniang said and handed the fruit to the little fat man behind Qian, "Brother Jin, do you want it, it's delicious." ”
"Yes." The little fat man's name is Gu Yuanjin, he is the most greedy, at the age of nine, he is as fat as a ball, and his eyes are even more invisible when he smiles.
"What do you want, can you eat this thing?" Qian reached out and slapped on Gu Yuanjin's outstretched little fat hand, making him cry in pain.
"You know how to cry, crying to see if I don't hit you." Qian was hurt by his crying, and scolded him angrily.
Gu Yuanjin is worthy of being a bear child, when Qian said this, instead of being afraid, he intensified, and suddenly changed from crying to crying.
"What a noise!" Ma was in the house preparing to take a nap when he heard a voice in the courtyard shouting impatiently.
"Grandma, grandma, my mother beat me." As soon as Gu Yuanjin heard Ma's voice, he seemed to have found a savior, and pounced towards Ma.
As soon as Ma's figure appeared at the door, he was startled by the small ball of meat that came at him, but fortunately he was holding on to the door frame, otherwise he would definitely fall down if he pounced on him like this.
"Who dares to beat my brother Jin, tell Grandma, Grandma will give you anger." Ma Shi hugged Gu Yuanjin, with a smile on his face.
When the little fat man saw Ma's, he said with tears in his eyes, "Grandma, you haven't come to see me for a long time." ”
"Grandma originally thought that after the autumn harvest, she would go to your house to see you when she was free." Ma touched the little fat man's head with a smile on his face, very happy.
"Mother." Qian walked over with a smile on his face.
"The second one's." Ma Shi was obviously different from the little fat man's joy when he saw Qian, and his expression was light.
Qian was not upset by Ma's coldness at all, and consciously stepped forward to help Ma to the house, "Mother, I haven't seen you for so long, Erzhuang and I miss you." Especially the fat brother, who has been clamoring to come and see grandma. ”
"What a good grandson." Ma was very happy, held the little fat man's hand, and patted it.
"Look, the second aunt will ask Brother Jin to coax grandma, but grandma will eat this set, maybe there is something to ask grandma this time." Gu Sanniang whispered in Gu Siniang's ear.
Gu Siniang nodded, her father Gu Dazhuang has no son, Gu Yuanjin can be said to be the first grandson of the Ma family, although it is not the eldest son and eldest grandson, but the second son and eldest grandson are also the meat of the heart. Since Gu Yuanjin was born, almost all of them have been taken care of by the Ma family, so needless to say, how deep the love is.
Gu Yuanjin is a well-known little bully in the Gu family and even in Lotus Village, he doesn't do good things all day long, and it is common for him to be naughty and mischievous, but every time he is very well-behaved in front of Ma, which is why Ma loves him so much.
Chen came out of the back room, and when he saw that Qian hadn't had time to say hello, Qian greeted him with a smile.
"Sister-in-law." Qian took Chen's hand, a little more enthusiastic than ever.
Chen raised his eyebrows, withdrew his hand quietly, and smiled on his face, "Second brother and sister, why are you free today?" ”
Gu Siniang was the youngest, sneaked into the house, stood next to the Chen family and listened to them.
"Brother Jin eats a piece of candy." Ma took out an oiled paper bag from the cabinet and opened it to reveal a small packet of crushed sugar cubes.
Sugar in this era is a precious thing, and the number of sugar cubes in each household is limited, and it will not be taken out on weekdays, and it will only be taken out during festivals or when entertaining guests.
As soon as Gu Yuanjin saw the candy cube, he immediately smiled and lost his eyes, reached out and grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Gu Siniang pursed her lips and muttered in her heart, Grandma is really eccentric, she is also in the house, and she didn't see a piece of candy to eat, and the preference for sons is not so obvious.
"Grandma eats it too." Gu Yuanjin nested in Ma's arms, and the little fat hand stuffed the candy cube into Ma's mouth, and the happy Ma smiled, "Our Jin Ge'er has grown up, and I know that I feel sorry for grandma." ”
"That's the mother, I came here to tell you something." Qian saw that Gu Yuanjin coaxed Ma into a smile, so he took the opportunity to speak.
Ma Shi glanced at her when he heard this, and then asked casually, "What's the matter?" ”
