Chapter 87: New Year's Gifts
The two of them explained the things at home to Gu Xiaoying and Gu Xiaoqing, and went out with the New Year's gift.
Sure enough, as soon as I went out, I bumped into the osmanthus sister-in-law at the back door, and at a glance, I could see what the two of them were going to do.
Happy greeting: "Xuemei, where is this going?" ”
I also inadvertently want to lift the cloth on the basket with my hand.
Li Xuemei didn't have anything to look at, but she was also generous, and replied with a smile: "Sister-in-law, we went to his grandmother's house to give New Year's gifts, and it was a little late to clean up, so we only went out at this time." ”
As he lifted the cloth with his hand, he covered it again.
Osmanthus inadvertently pursed the corners of her mouth, what she saw just now was a five-catty piece of pork, this Gu Ruhai's family did not kill pigs this year, the village is all neighbors, who doesn't know whose family's affairs yet.
Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei went to the town to do business, and they didn't even care about killing the pigs at home.
No, look at this year's gift is only five catties of pork, this is not atmospheric, at first glance, the two must not have earned any money, otherwise this is only five catties to buy pork.
There are generous New Year's gifts in the village, and yesterday's captain Gu Changhai's family gave the family's father and mother a New Year's gift, which was full of display in the village for a long time, and that piece of pork was full of twenty catties.
Therefore, Gu Ruhai's pork, in the eyes of Osmanthus sister-in-law, is really nothing, even if it is the most ordinary New Year's gift, it is not special, not outstanding, one board and one eye, well-behaved, neither wrong nor outstanding.
"Then you two should hurry up, it's too late, it's time for lunch." It's still Xuemei worry-free, the two daughters in the family are older, and they can work hard, so you two can be regarded as bitter and sweet. ”
Osmanthus doesn't look down on Gu Ruhai, but this family has always been unimpressive, that is to say.
The two went their separate ways.
Li Xuemei pulled Gu Ruhai, and the two of them walked to the house of Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu, and they met many people on the road, mainly because they were all visiting relatives to give New Year's gifts at this time, not Gu Ruhai's family, so they could really meet acquaintances everywhere on the street.
Everyone who came and went here knew that these two people were specially giving New Year's gifts.
With Gu Ruhai behind his back, people are also talking about it, but they all know that Gu Ruhai is an honest person, and this filial piety is still the same, at least according to the practice of Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu for so many years, there is such a hard spirit, but I really dare to disown my father.
But Gu Ruhai is not still a New Year's gift, or honest.
I'm used to being bullied, and I don't know how to resist angrily.
But who knows what's going on inside.
came to the door of Old Man Gu, the door was ajar, Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei pushed open the door and greeted: "Dad, mother, are you at home?" ”
White smoke was billowing from the chimney on the roof, and it was obvious that someone was burning a fire inside.
Old Man Gu's voice came: "Come in." I'm in the house with your mother. ”
The two lifted the curtain and walked in.
There were not only Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu in the house, but also Gu Rushan, Jiang Xiulan and Gu Xiaocheng, and there were two baskets on the table, which seemed to be here to give New Year's gifts.
Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu sat cross-legged on the kang, Gu Rushan and Jiang Xiulan quickly stood up when they saw Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei, Gu Rushan felt angry in his heart, but he still greeted Gu Ruhai with a smile on his face: "Big brother, sister-in-law, you come to give New Year's gifts to your father and mother?" ”
However, the appearance of smiling meat without smiling made Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei feel awkward.
But reaching out not to hit the smiling man, the two of them still agreed to walk in.
"Yes, let's give my father and mother a New Year's gift."
I put the basket in my hand on the table as well, reads();.
"Daddy, are you two old people okay? Are the clothes still appropriate? ”
This is Li Xuemei asking, at least let the family know what they are doing.
Old Man Gu's face was a little embarrassed and responded: "Okay, okay, your mother and I are fine." When you have a break, you can clean up your home and celebrate the New Year. ”
Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei didn't know what the weakness on Old Man Gu's face was, but since people said so, they couldn't say anything.
It's not their turn to be the younger generation to question the old man.
Because Gu Xiaocheng was in college, he had not done farm work in the past few years, his skin was fair, he wore a pair of glasses, and he looked like a gentleman, and he saw Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei also come up to say hello: "Uncle, auntie." ”
Gu Ruhai agreed, his question about his younger brother had nothing to do with Gu Xiaocheng, so he was still good to Gu Xiaocheng.
Pleasant.
"You're back, you're about to graduate, aren't you?"
"Yes, come on, a few more months."
Gu Xiaocheng was a little reluctant to speak, it was not that Gu Xiaocheng was wooden, it was that Gu Xiaocheng looked down on this dull uncle, the uncle's family had no ability, unlike the third uncle who earned a salary in a public unit, and the conditions were good, so in Gu Xiaocheng's eyes, Gu Ruhai was not the person he cared about.
So the answer is also very perfunctory.
Gu Ruhai saw that Gu Xiaocheng didn't have the intention of squawing with himself, so he closed his mouth and turned to Old Man Gu.
Mrs. Gu had already lifted the cloth on the basket, and when she saw the four-color ceremony, she looked disgusted, and from time to time she muttered, whose pork weighs ten catties, whose carp weighs five catties, and whose family has anything else.
That means plainly, this four-color ceremony in your family is like this.
Gu Ruhai didn't say anything, and Li Xuemei couldn't hold back the fire a little.
This is what the son did.
walked up, lifted the cloth on the basket of Gu Rushan's house, the pork in it was only a small strip, only three catties at most, and the two carps were estimated to add up to three catties, which was obviously shrunk.
The two chickens are not bad, but they don't have the energy to look at them, and I don't know if they are sick.
Li Xuemei chuckled, then covered her mouth and sat next to Gu Ruhai.
Old Lady Gu stopped talking.
glanced at Li Xuemei with her eyes, and wanted to scold Li Xuemei to death, but she didn't dare to say anything.
It's okay to have an eccentric eye, but it's opened up by someone else.
What else can I say about this comparison.
Gu Rushan and Jiang Xiulan were also a little embarrassed.
Jiang Xiulan was especially angry, covering her face and lifting the cloth on the basket, opening it was just slapping her face, this daughter-in-law dared to be so rampant in front of her mother-in-law, and Li Xuemei couldn't count it.
