He Zhihao left very early, and when Gu Jiayi woke up, he had already heard the sound of the door opening. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 She sat up and saw through the window as he walked out the door.

Village Chief Hao has talked to her many times, and he said that He Zhihao is unwilling to go to the province to take the exam now, mainly because he can't rest assured of her, but the neighbors in the township all advocate him to go to the exam, and the burden on him is very heavy, and he must not delay his future because of these housework and live up to the expectations of the villagers.

Gu Jiayi understands all these truths, and she also knows that she is actually in her twenties, and she can live on her own, but the family affection she longed for from the bottom of her heart has left again, and there is only loneliness that cannot be erased.

She went back to sleep, and when she woke up again, it was already the third day of the day. Yuan Shi had already gotten up, her quilt was folded and placed at the foot of the bed, and the bed next to her was cold, indicating that she had been away for a long time.

"Auntie?" Gu Jiayi put on her clothes and screamed a few times tentatively, sure enough, no one answered, she should still go home, thinking that yesterday was just a momentary quick mouth and a momentary ability.

After drinking a cup of tea, I heard the voice of the cow's sister-in-law outside.

"Sister Yi'er, is Sister Yi'er at home?"

"Sister-in-law Niu, I'm here, come in."

"I'm here to see Zao'er."

Gu Jiayi took out the pot of red dates from the back room, "Although it has been overnight, it is still red and beautiful, and it is also big, is it okay for my sister-in-law to look at it?" ”

Sister-in-law Niu pulled a few times and said with a smile: "Your uncle is also a sincere person, I didn't pick some rotten dates for you, I look at everything, I want it." ”

"Sister-in-law's family is famous, right? Take the past and weigh it again. ”

"I've brought all my scales, and they're in the courtyard. Your brother-in-law has told me that I will accompany you at your house during this time. ”

"Isn't Aunt Niu the only one at home?"

"It's okay, she went to visit the door during the day, and my third uncle will be at home at night," Sister-in-law Niu said while picking up the weighs from the outside, and put the dates and pots on the scales, "I won't lose the weight of this pot, there are six catties in total, and I'll give you one hundred and twenty wen." ”

Gu Jiayi did not refuse, and when she took the money, there was a little joy in her heart.

"Boil water, get some cold water." Sister-in-law Niu said to Gu Jiayi.

She quickly picked out the dead branches and fallen leaves in the dates, and then put the dates into the bamboo basket, waited until Gu Jiayi brought hot and cold water, and then soaked the basket in the hot water, and after a while, she saw that the peel was slightly soft, and immediately put it in the cold water. This is repeated several times until all the dates are complete.

"Prepare a few straw mats, spread the dates on the mats and take them to the yard to dry."

"How long is this going to dry?"

"It takes more than twenty days to dry every day," Sister-in-law Niu thought for a while, "Now that I have your helper, maybe I should buy some dates." ”

"Want to buy dates? Look for me! ”

The two of them followed the prestige, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised by the people who came.

"Sister-in-law He came here today and I don't know what's going on?"

Yuan smiled faintly, "It's not Sister-in-law He anymore," he said, raising a letter in his hand.

"You've been dismissed?" Sister-in-law Niu was a little surprised.

"How to speak! Is it and separated? ”

Seeing that the two of them looked stunned, Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "What's so surprising about this?" I don't want to live with him for a long time. I went to make a fuss this morning, and it was the patriarch who presided over our peace. However, in addition to the ancestral house, the land and land belonged to the old lady. Why, I said the eldest daughter-in-law of the Niu family, you still don't know about this? ”

Sister-in-law Niu hesitated, her eyes widened, she really didn't know, she went back to her mother's house in the neighboring village in the morning, and came back to make dried red dates with Gu Jiayi, but on the way I heard someone talking, but I didn't hear what was going on.

"Okay, okay, what are you going to do?" Yuan asked, looking at the red dates on the straw mat.

"Make dried red dates." Gu Jiayi said.

"Hey, what's that?" Yuan asked, pointing to a basket of black things next to the door.

"Oh, that's hickory. Look at me, I said that I sent it to Sister Yi'er, but I forgot about it, and I just thought about what the red dates did. ”

"What are you doing with pecans? The shell of that thing is hard, it's hard to peel, and there are few people who eat it. ”

"Uncle doesn't know, people in the provincial city love to eat this thing."

"Yo, do you want to go to the provincial capital? But if you just ship such a small amount to the provincial capital, plus the cost of transportation and labor, I'm afraid you won't be able to make a lot of money, right? ”

"Uncle, my pecans are different from others!"

Yuan and Sister-in-law Niu glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"What the hell is a young lady from the county seat......"

Gu Jiayi suddenly stopped what he was doing and glanced at Yuan.

"Uncle doesn't mean anything else," Yuan was a little embarrassed, "Maybe I did something wrong before, but in the future, I will live here, and I will move out when I find a house." ”

"Hey, I said Sister Yuan, can you rest assured that your sister and brother?"

Yuan sighed, "They are no longer children, although I know that my divorce with He Yu has a great impact on them, but I am not a person who compromises, there are too many disadvantages in this era, polygamy alone is very unreasonable, I can't let my two brothers grow up in this kind of family, and I do this because I want Sister Mei to understand that a woman is not only resigned to fate and retreat." ”

"I've heard people say a long time ago that Sister Yuan is an unusual person, and after listening to your words today, it's really different."

"What makes me different? If you really say that there is, you can't see it. Let's just talk about you, how old are you, it's been a year since your husband died, are you really willing to stay in this Niu family for a lifetime? Why don't you remarry, or go back to your parents' home? If I had a mother's house, I would have returned. ”

"This ...... What kind of joke is my sister making, how can there be any talk of a widow remarrying, this will be poked in the back. ”

"So, you just can't see it. You can get happiness, so why not go for it? ”

Gu Jiayi listened to the conversation between the two silently. She has also lived in this village for three years, and she has dealt with Yuan a lot, but it is only today that she found out that Yuan is still a person with great ideas and independent ability.

At noon, Sister-in-law Niu went home to cook for Aunt Niu. Gu Jiayi heated up yesterday's dish and ate with Yuan.

"It's a hearty dish."

"It was sent by Aunt Zhang, and she is grateful to her brother-in-law for saving her daughter."

"I see."

"Auntie," Gu Jiayi put down her chopsticks, and a trace of doubt flashed in her heart, "Where is your mother's home?" ”

"Mother's house? A far, far away place that you can't possibly have been to and can't ever know. ”

Gu Jiayi sighed in her heart, could it be that her uncle's maiden family was ......
