Chapter 16: Here it is
Returned home.
Now there are electric lights, but Gu Xiaoqing's lamp is a small bulb of only five watts, and the brightness is basically a dim one.
It's nice to see people.
If you want to see clearly, don't think about it.
Putting down the things in her hand, Li Xuemei went into the room to work, and the whole family was hungry.
Stir-fried a shredded potato, vacated a basket of steamed buns, burned a pot of cornmeal batter, and dinner was ready.
The family ate around the table.
Gu Ruhai looked at the three children who were working hard, and he was also bitter in his heart.
The mush of the cornmeal in the mouth of the drink is not a taste either.
glanced at Li Xuemei, who was picking vegetables for each of the children, and asked bitterly: "Child, have you borrowed the money?" ”
If he didn't borrow it, Gu Ruhai still thought about whether to ask his brother Gu Rushan, for so many years, Gu Rushan also asked his family to borrow a lot of money, and first pay some back and let Xiaoqing go to school first.
I don't want him to pay it back all at once, as long as a few dollars, he shouldn't miss the second family's affairs.
As soon as Li Xuemei saw Gu Ruhai's expression, she knew what this person was thinking.
After so many years of husband and wife, I still don't know Gu Ruhai's thoughts.
He said angrily, "I didn't borrow it." ”
Gu Ruhai sighed.
After drinking the corn paste in the bowl in two bites, he didn't even eat the black-flour steamed buns, so he put down the bowl, took his clothes and walked out.
Li Xuemei was stunned, what is this going to do.
Hurriedly behind, when Gu Ruhai was discharged from the hospital, he asked: "Child, father, where are you going?" ”
In exchange, Gu Ruhai replied in a dull voice: "His second uncle just came back in the afternoon, I went over to sit down and pull a few sentences." ”
And the man disappeared into the darkness.
There are no street lights in the countryside at this time, and when it gets dark, there are black lights outside.
When Li Xuemei heard this, she turned around and went back to the house to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Knowing what the result would be if I went, I didn't give up.
Wait, I went to the second uncle's house tonight, and his grandmother will be able to come to the door tomorrow.
It's enough to count.
It seems that tomorrow the children's dumplings will not be edible.
When Gu Xiaoqing heard Gu Ruhai's words, she was also secretly happy.
's own mother is amazing, such a sentence can also make my father force Liangshan.
This is to ask the second uncle for money.
However, according to Gu Xiaoqing's understanding of the second uncle Gu Rushan and the second aunt Jiang Xiangyun, this trip will definitely be in vain.
Moreover, theoretically, this outbreak of my father may cause a huge backlash from my grandmother, and tomorrow should be a day of many disasters.
However, Gu Xiaoqing was already ready in her heart, if grandma dared to come tomorrow, she would be able to block the two grandmothers from speaking.
Eccentricity can't be biased to the point of not taking anything seriously.
This is already liberation, and it is not the old society before, where the mother-in-law who does not have the old customs suppresses the daughter-in-law and cannot get ahead.
There is no such thing as a child or grandchild who can't open his mouth lightly, and there are not a few people in the village who are not filial to the elderly.
It's not that Gu Xiaoqing is not filial, it's that Gu Xiaoqing doesn't want to be foolish.
If it goes on like this, the family will be ruined because of a filial hat, why should you be filial.
No matter how filial you are, you must live and be filial.
Everyone wants you to die, and you still stick to filial piety, that's not filial piety, that's stupid.
It just so happens that Gu Ruhai's departure tonight can be regarded as a lesson, let the father see the true face of the second uncle Gu Rushan, and see what is called brotherhood.
Look at what Gu Ruhai believes in most in this world, and what a family helps each other and what it looks like.
That's a good thing.
I don't know what happened after Gu Ruhai went, anyway, an hour later, Gu Ruhai came back angrily, sitting alone under the jujube tree in the yard with a black face, smoking cigarettes for most of the night.
The next day, because the work in the field was basically finished, there was nothing to do, and the family was at home, which was Gu Ruhai's most leisurely day in recent days.
I just had breakfast, it should be said that breakfast has not been finished yet, and halfway through it, grandma appeared at the gate of Gu Ruhai's house.
"Boss, I, boss, come home, my father misses you, come and see you."
This big voice is from the second uncle Gu Rushan.
Gu Xiaoqing drank the porridge in the bowl in two sips, and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks with Gu Xiaoying.
As soon as the table was wiped clean, grandpa Gu Daqing and grandma Liu Sannu walked in.
Gu Ruhai had already gone out.
"Dad, mother, why are you here early in the morning?"
Gu Ruhai is also strange,
Daddy is not a person who comes to visit the door, and she will only come to her door when there is something.
Of course, Gu Ruhai knows Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu very well.
"yes, we're going to see you. His second uncle had just come back, and when he heard that we missed you, he came over together. ”
Old Man Gu was a cultural person when he was young, to put it bluntly, he was a person who had passed the Xiucai exam, and he was a little knowledgeable, and he was also a capable person in the village.
A person with a good face.
Gu Ruhai smiled and shouted at Gu Xiaoying: "Yingzi, move a stool for your grandmother." ”
Gu Xiaoying agreed, and moved out two benches from the hall.
There are no chairs in their house, and this kind of four-legged bench is also a neighbor next to it, Uncle Fan Huzi is a carpenter, and when he saw that their family always squatted by the door to eat, he gave these two benches made of leftover scraps made by his own family.
Although it's the rest of someone else's family, it's also a favor.
The second uncle Gu Rushan saw that there were only two stools, so he snorted, and said: "Look, eldest brother, you are living like this day, even my younger brother came to the door, and there was not a stool to make, and there was also a girl to study, I don't know what you think?" ”
Then he sat down on the stone at the entrance of the courtyard hall, took out a box of paper cigarettes in his pocket, took out one and handed it to his grandfather Gu Daqing, and then lit one himself, ignoring Gu Ruhai on the side at all.
Gu Ruhai's face turned white, when his brother's brother was counted down by his own younger brother, the taste in his heart was really uncomfortable, and Gu Rushan didn't even say a word about the cigarette just now.
It's not Gu Ruhai's rare paper cigarette rolls, it's that he feels that his face is dull.
Gu Xiaoqing couldn't help it, this was bullying.
While pouring the dishwashing water in the basin into the vegetable patch, he said: "Second uncle, you are right, my family's life has been like this, and my father is embarrassed to ask you to get back the money you asked my family to borrow, I really don't know what my father thinks."
But I know that the second uncle is thinking about his niece's study, and he must know that his niece is about to start school, and he hasn't paid the tuition yet, so he didn't come to pay my dad the money. ”
These words ignited a fire at once.
The people in the courtyard were silent in an instant.
