Chapter 5 The in-laws come to get together, and Xiaotian enters the hall
Knowledge changes destiny! I didn't say that the changed fate was good or bad!
After Guo Tian was sent by the Wang family to invite his grandfather and grandmother, he followed this path that he had traveled many times to Liujia Village to ask for someone.
"Grandpa, grandma, are you at home, come with me, go to my house." Guo Tian trotted all the way over and said breathlessly.
"Why are you a monkey cub, hurry up and rest for a while, drink saliva, come on, grandma will cook food for you here."
Guo Tian is very active, and in the eyes of his grandmother Jia, he is a naughty mud monkey, but he loves him very much, and he will think of him when he has anything to eat and drink.
"Grandma, I won't eat, grandpa, you can come with me to my house and eat."
"Your grandfather went to the mountains to chop wood, what kind of food did you go to your house to eat, you came, don't leave, grandma will make you rice cakes to eat."
"No, you have to go to my house for dinner and go with your grandfather."
"Why do you have to go to your house for dinner, is there something wrong?"
Jia Shi found that Guo Tian was in a hurry today, unlike usual, he wanted to eat something delicious after coming over, so he let himself accompany him to have fun.
"Yes, my dad is back, and grandma asked me to call you and grandpa to dinner."
"Your father??"
Jia Shi was stunned in the courtyard, and suddenly thought that Guo Tian's father was Guo Yu who went to the war, and he thought that he would never come back, but he didn't expect Guo Yu to come back alive.
Thinking that his daughter has a backer, he feels painful when he looks at his daughter who has worked hard all these years, and she may have to be widowed at a young age. Now that the man in the family comes back, he will no longer be so bitter, and he cries with joy.
"Okay, we'll go when your grandfather comes back."
In the evening, Guo Yu's inner hall round table was full of people, Guo Yu and his father-in-law Liu Ding sat on one side, the two old mothers sandwiched Xiaotian in the middle and sat at the other end, Shuang'er and Lan Xin sat at the bottom, and the family was happy.
"Guo Yu, how have you survived on the battlefield in the past few years, but the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, tell the big guy."
Father-in-law Liu Ding knew a little about the battlefield, and in his early years, he was conscripted as a civilian husband to carry supplies and materials for the army.
"I've been outside for a few years, it's really difficult, I almost died on the battlefield a few times, the rebels once occupied Chang'an City, and the emperor ran away."
"It's so serious, this rebel army is too powerful, this rebellion is so big, it's so bold, this is to change the dynasty."
Guo Yu's father-in-law Liu Ding said with a sigh, feeling that he couldn't understand the current way of the world for a while, and he felt why this was the case.
Guo Yu continued: "Henan Province is full of wilderness, and the smuggler Huang Chao once claimed to be the emperor in Chang'an, and was later defeated and ran to Henan Province. ”
As he spoke, Guo Yu recalled the scenes on the battlefield at that time, and recalled all the appalling scenes, covered with white bones, barren and grassy fields, and the turbid waters of the Yellow River......
"The current world is a little incomprehensible, it's messy, it's better for us to be in Yishan, there are not so many fights, and there are not so many bad things."
Liu Ding has lived in Yishan all his life, and has never participated in any wars except when he was young and was conscripted as a civilian husband. Yishan has good mountains and rivers, and it is also worry-free. Over the years, I have never been out of the mountain a few times, and I have lived in Yishan for most of my life, which can be regarded as worry-free and happy.
"Yes, the few people we went out with were only a few who came back alive, and many of them died on the battlefield, and I once thought that I would not survive the next battle."
Guo Yu felt sorry for his comrades-in-arms who couldn't come back alive.
Jia Shi listened to the conversation between the two, and found that the atmosphere was becoming more and more solemn, thinking that he couldn't let the two of them continue, they couldn't chat, a lot of people, no eyesight, straight men, didn't understand the style or the occasion, what battlefield to talk about, a large family of women in the house.
So he interrupted: "What is it like outside, let's not care about it for now, let's close the door and live a good life, let's not talk about those things outside." ”
The old mother Wang also echoed: "Yes, what my mother-in-law said is, don't say it, let's eat." ”
In the past few years, there has been little laughter and laughter in Guo Yu's inner hall, and today's return of Guo Yu has given new vitality to this small courtyard, which was originally lacking in vitality.
After the meal, the old couple of the Liu family and Guo Yu's mother and son sat in the inner hall, looking at Xiaotian who was chasing chickens in the courtyard, and laughed.
After the farmer's meal, there is always a little less entertainment.
Guo Tian looked at his own red-crowned big rooster, always chasing his old hen, and got angry.
At home, every once in a while, the mother can always pick up one or two eggs from the chicken coop, and one of these two eggs will enter Xiaotian's belly, which is also the reason why Xiaotian's body has grown in recent years.
My mother always saved her eggs and took them to the town market to exchange them for a little salt and cloth to support the family.
When I was eating today, Xiao Tian noticed that the big rooster was always chasing the old hens, riding on the old hens from time to time, pecking at the hen's neck, and then stirring. When Xiaotian saw the old hen clucking, he felt uncomfortable, as if he was asking him for help. Eating, every once in a while, I ran out to catch a big rooster.
The big rooster is like a cunning warrior, and his ability to bully the soft and fear the hard is vividly exerted. Seeing Guo Tian coming out of the house, he ran down from the old hen as if fleeing, twisting his stocky body and running to the side, as soon as Guo Tian entered the house, he continued his action to conquer the hen.
The cunning behavior of the big rooster completely annoyed Guo Tian. Guo Tian felt that he should teach the big a profound lesson. After the meal, he picked up the wooden stick he usually played with and began the crusade against the big rooster.
In the inner hall, several people looked at Guo Tian, the child who was fighting the big rooster in the courtyard, and became more and more happy.
Liu Ding said: "Mother-in-law, Guo Yu is back, and your family's life will be more and more prosperous in the future." ”
Wang replied with a smile: "Yu'er came back safely, thank God, one day I have to go to incense, thank you Bodhisattva for bless my son, let him return safely, and in the future, I can watch my eldest grandson grow up and marry him a daughter-in-law." ”
"Mother, Guo Tian is still young, only four years old, and it's still early to marry a daughter-in-law."
"Mother-in-law, Xiaotian hasn't decided on a baby yet, or I'll go back and see if there is a suitable one in our village, and set a baby kiss for him as soon as possible."
Grandma Jia reminded her heartily that she wanted to set a baby kiss for Xiaotian.
"The doll is not in a hurry, when the child is old in a few years, let's find a female doll for him to marry. When I came back from the battlefield, I thought that I would learn some skills in the future, so that I could support myself, her daughter-in-law and children, and let them live a good life. ”
Guo Yu looks forward to the future, hoping that his children and grandchildren will be full, and when he is old, his grandchildren will be around his knees, and the family will be happy.
"Xiaotian has been clever and smart since he was a child, we should let him learn some skills, and he can be independent in the future, and be an admirable person with ability."
Liu Ding said, thinking of Mr. Wang Quanan, a talented man in Wangjia Village.
Wang Quanan is the first talent in Wangjia Village, a talent in the thirteen years of Xiantong, 16 years old at the time, a sensation in the township, high-spirited. Then he was 21 years old.
At that time, the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was very difficult, and there was a saying that "thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi". There are a lot of talented people who are still examining the Ming Jing at the age of 30, and there are very few people who can be admitted to the Jinshi at the age of 50.
Wang Quanan is 21 years old in the Ming Dynasty, which can be described as an outstanding and unique talent. Everyone agreed that he could be a jinshi, but then the Huangchao riots broke out, the imperial examination was interrupted, Wang Quanan had to return to his hometown to avoid the war for a while, and wanted to wait for the riot to continue the road of the imperial examination.
"Otherwise, send Xiaotian to the school in Wangjia Village, Xiaotian is so smart, he will definitely be able to learn something, just like Wang Xiucai." Old father-in-law Liu Ding looked at Guo Yu and said.
"Dad, Mr. Wang is a Ming Jing, he is not a talent for a long time, and he is very capable."
Guo Yu remembered the things in the early years of Mr. Wang in Wangjia Village, and even the head of the county went to their house to congratulate him, and the spring breeze was proud.
"I think it's okay, let Xiaotian follow Mr. Wang to study, and he will definitely have the ability in the future."
After discussion, the family decided to let Xiaotian enter the hall, and this decision also affected Guo Tiantian in the future.
