Chapter 11: Well-behaved
"The unlucky one didn't come back with him?"
Li Xuemei knew that Wu Zhaodi was asking Gu Ruhai, so she had to answer: "There is still some work in the field, and after half a day's work, let them do the two of them, and I will take it; The two little ones are back. ”
Li Xuemei didn't dare to say that she was helping Gu Rushan clean up the sticks, otherwise the old lady would have to have a crooked nose in anger, and when Gu Ruhai went to the door, she had to let her mother scold the dog.
So I didn't dare to tell the truth.
Wu Zhaodi glanced at her daughter's weak heart, and knew that the uncompetitive son-in-law was designated by Old Man Gu to be used as a free laborer again.
didn't get angry, just sighed heavily, and slapped her daughter Li Xuemei's forehead with her finger and said: "You, you, no wonder the old saying goes, girls are outgoing, this is married, and those who are yearning for others are in-laws."
Don't hide it, I don't know about your family's idea, it's not that the second family has the idea of being lazy, so the old man protected it and assigned his son-in-law to work. It's just the one in your family who has no heart, and he doesn't want to do anything, and it is estimated that if his father lets him die, he won't have a word. ”
Li Xuemei didn't dare to talk to her, she was debunked by her own mother, what else did she say.
Gu Xiaoqing had already heard it outside, because his grandfather Li Qinghai had finished cleaning up the pigweed, washed his hands, and was about to enter the door, and Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Xiaojie happened to be standing outside the door, and they all happened to hear this.
I can't help but applaud my grandmother's cleverness, and my father's careful thinking is estimated to have been seen through by my grandmother.
Guess a guess.
Li Qinghai coughed deliberately, the two ladies in the house quickly stopped, Li Qinghai touched Gu Xiaojie's little head, opened the curtain and walked in.
"child, hurry up and cook, when is this, these two little ones are probably hungry for a long time, and the ones in the field should come back."
The topic was interrupted, Wu Zhaodi agreed, and hurriedly went to the room to work, and when she looked at the time, it was really not early, it was almost noon.
I also secretly screamed in my heart, it's bad.
There's eight mouths waiting to eat.
If you don't cook a cooked meal at the meal, you can't say anything.
Li Xuemei also hurriedly followed to help, after all, it was because of herself that her mother missed the time, and the two of them worked together quickly.
Li Qinghai took Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Xiaojie into the room, sat on a bench, tore a piece of straw paper, and began to roll cigarettes.
Gu Xiaoqing hurriedly went up and took it, he didn't help his father Gu Ruhai with all this work, and he was really good and fast, and his techniques were very sophisticated.
Sure enough, looking at Gu Xiaoqing's cigarette roll, Li Qinghai smiled with satisfaction.
"Good boy, will school start soon?"
Li Qinghai kindly took the cigarette roll given by his granddaughter, struck a match, lit it, took a puff, and asked Gu Xiaoqing.
"Grandpa, I know I know, the second sister is about to go to school, and my mother came to my grandmother's house to borrow money, I heard it all this morning."
Gu Xiaojie rushed into his grandfather's arms, poured beans into the bamboo tube and went clean, and seemed to be asking for praise, smiling triumphantly at Gu Xiaoqing.
Gu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes, this heartless little guy, can you say the same.
Even if it was to borrow money, it was something that Li Xuemei and her grandfather said, and it wasn't what the two of them said in their small mouths.
Li Qinghai heard nothing, smiled hehe, picked up Gu Xiaojie in his arms, hugged his grandson's immature little face, and said happily: "Okay, is my Xiaojie going to school too?" ”
Gu Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, grandpa is a big-hearted person, he doesn't have any fancy intestines, and he doesn't know how to think twice, he only thinks about their family's difficulties, but he didn't expect that there is no reason to borrow money from his grandmother's house.
"Grandpa, my dad said that in the future, my second sister and I will go to school, and our family will have the tuition fees for the two of us, and Gu Xiaocheng, who doesn't give it to the second uncle's family. My mother said that my family's money is directed to my children to spend, otherwise my father will be good-looking. ”
Childlike words.
Gu Xiaoqing didn't know whether to block this Gu Xiaojie's mouth, this is a big talker.
How can a boy be such a bastard.
Gu Xiaoqing made up her mind that she must educate her younger brother well in the future, but she couldn't let her younger brother grow into a seedling of a tongue woman.
Grandpa Li Qinghai was happy, "Okay, your mother is right." Your mom has a lot of skills. ”
Gu Xiaoqing knew that it was Gu Xiaojie's words just now that he pleased Li Qinghai, it was not Li Qinghai who was ruthless, it was his own family, if he didn't have a tough one, he would fall apart soon.
Grandpa, this is delighted.
This girl has a lot of skills, can she be a father or not.
Li Qinghai shouted loudly to the room, "the child, add a dish, take out the eggs in the basket, and scrambled an egg for the children to eat." Scramble a few more, don't pity those two eggs. ”
Gu Xiaoqing knew that this was her grandfather's joy.
A voice came from the door, "Dad, what's so happy, I want to add a dish." ”
It was the voice of the eldest uncle, accompanied by other noisy sounds.
It should be that my uncle, aunt and several brothers and sisters have come back from the field.
Gu Xiaoqing hurriedly ran out, opened the curtain, and called sweetly: "Uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt, brother, brother Jianguo, brother Jianhui, sister Yufeng, sister Yuhong." You're back. It's hard work, put down your things and rest. ”
It's okay if the mouth is not sweet, Gu Xiaoqing has the idea of getting along with his uncle's family in his life, so at least let the two aunts not make mistakes.
Grandpa is partial to his own family, at least to make the family feel comfortable.
You can't take advantage of it and sell it well.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the two aunts who had stiffened their faces when they saw Gu Xiaoqing's face had no choice but to smile, although the smile was not too big and very perfunctory, but Gu Xiaoqing knew that this was the first step.
It's not just that to change.
Aunt Liu Fen still threw out a sentence that was not salty or light, "I said that I wanted to add vegetables today, and sure enough, our father's baby is back." ”
Of course, these words were very sour, but Gu Xiaoqing pretended not to know, raised a smile, and said innocently: "Auntie, yes, the master said that several brothers and sisters are working hard in the field, and they are the treasures of the Li family, so they specially called my grandma to add vegetables, isn't it, grandpa?" ”
The reaction to this was very fast, and the dish was immediately put on the children of the four uncles' families.
Although my aunt also knew what was going on with that dish, when I heard this, I was still a lot happier in my heart, at least I was comfortable being held.
Looking at Gu Xiaoqing is not so unpleasant.
Grandpa immediately replied in the house, "Yes, seeing that our family has worked hard, let's add a dish to the children today, and I'll let your mother scramble a few more eggs, everyone will have a share." ”
This is said beautifully, everyone has a share, not their own daughters and children, and the two aunts have no way to say it.
