Although there is a small episode of feeding the cat, a meal can be regarded as a pleasure for the guests and hosts. Even the Lantern Festival put down its reserve, and ate a bowl of boiled small fish bibimbap cleanly.

Mei was worried about tidying up the house, helped Yang clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Second uncle, second uncle, I'll take Chongyang back first, and I have to clean up the house." ”

There are only three rooms in the old house of the Gui family, the west room is the bedroom and embroidery room of Mei's aunt and nephew, the middle is the stove and dining room, and the east room is the house where the old lady was alive before. The old man has been gone for more than a year, and the house has been empty for more than a year, and he has to be cleaned up before he can live in it.

Grandma Gui got up from the kang and glanced at Gui Chongyang.

I was too surprised by Gui Chongyang's arrival before, and I didn't think about it carefully, but now I see that something is wrong. This Nanjing is thousands of miles away from Beijing, and it will take three or two months on the road, where is this luggage? In addition to the white cat beside Gui Chongyang, there was only a half-foot-square package behind him.

looked at Gui Chongyang's white and clean little face, and the plain robes on his body, all of them were extremely decent, and they did not have the embarrassment of being dusty.

"Where's the luggage?" Gui's second grandmother was upright, and when she thought of something, she asked directly.

"In the Wharf Inn." Gui Chongyang Road.

Before coming back before, I was a little bottomless, so I left my luggage directly at the inn, thinking that I would come over and have a look first.

Gui Chongyang is not very old, but he claims that he is not a child anymore, and he also knows a little bit about people. The thoughts of these people in front of him are as simple as a plate in Gui Chongyang's eyes.

The two little ones have the most curious attitudes, the two middle-aged elders are the most entangled, and the two elders are the coldest. With the antecedent of "Jiuding Difficulty", Gui Chongyang was already ready to be abused and expelled, and now he is overjoyed.

What "Dad" owes is these people in front of him, and he will take care of these people in front of him in the future, so it is naturally best to get along peacefully.

Although in front of fifty taels of silver, Yang did not hide his ambition, but he did not say that he would take the silver into his arms, but helped Gui Chongyang reload it, and told him to put it away well and not to show up in front of people. As for the others, when they looked at the fifty taels of silver, their eyes were eager, but they were not greedy, and they did not rely on their elders to take Gui Chongyang to accept it.

Gui Chongyang felt that his previous precautions were a bit of a villain. But if he had to do it all over again, he would still be so careful. Now that "Dad" is gone, he is the only one left, but he doesn't want to become the "stupid white sweet" in the mouth of "Dad", and let others deceive and calculate.

Mujia Village is seventeen or eight miles away from Tongzhou Wharf, and Gui's second grandmother looked at the sky outside.

It's summer, and the sun is setting late, but this time I can't say that I will come back with the stars. Looking at Gui Chongyang's clothes, it is not silk and satin, but also muslin that is not common in the village, even if there is no property in the luggage, it is not like three melons and two dates, in case of loss, it is regrettable.

"Let's deal with it for one night first, and then I'll go get it tomorrow." Gui's second grandmother clapped and said: "The second child's family, turn Qiu'er's clothes out and change them for him." ”

"Hey." Yang answered, picked up the curtain and went out, and then came back with a set of clothes.

The Gui family was already poor, and Gui Qiu had an older brother of the same age, so he naturally picked up his brother's clothes to wear. Even so, there are only two sets of clothes that can be worn, and the patches that can no longer be worn, they have to be dismantled to make uppers, so there are no two clothes left.

Yang took out this set, which had just been eliminated in the spring, and he hadn't had time to dismantle it. Although it was cleanly washed, the patches on it were also overlapped. Before, his son didn't think there was anything to wear, but now that he took it out for Gui Chongyang to wear, Yang felt that something was wrong, hesitated, and asked, "Mother, why don't you take Chun'er's new set of clothes first." ”

said that it was a new dress, in fact, it was sewn last year, when the eldest son was seventeen, to the age of saying that he was pro-family, in order to see each other, the Yang family saved money to buy new cloth, and the Mei family sewed a set of clothes, but who wants the matchmaker to know the poverty of the Gui family, and does not accept the Gui family's business at all, even if a woman is mentioned, it is also necessary to recruit money, and cannot be a parent.

This dress has been pressed for a year, and there is no upper body.

Grandma Gui Er rolled her eyes: "How tall is Chun'er, how tall is this kid, I can't wear it if I take it." It's just a matter of dealing with one night, and it's all about picking and choosing. ”

Gui Chongyang looked at the clothes in Yang's hand, hid his curiosity, took it, and said politely: "Trouble the second uncle." ”

Yang Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, although this is a coarse fabric, it is not abrasive if you wash too much." ”

When Gui Chongyang said goodbye to a few elders and wanted to leave with Mei's, Gui's second grandfather instructed Gui Chun: "You go along, if someone asks, tell the truth." ”

Since Gui Chongyang is back, even if the Gui family doesn't say it, the news can't be hidden. That being the case, it is better to introduce it generously.

Mei's aunt and nephew are women in the end, and the relationship between Mei and Gui Chongyang is awkward, so it is not as convenient as Gui Chun, a descendant of the Gui family, to speak.

Gui Chun responded honestly, and the second grandfather of Gui turned his head again and said to Gui Chongyang: "Although you are a member of the Gui family, your cousin is not an outsider. She has lived in the Gui family for more than ten years, but she did not eat and drink for nothing to take advantage of the Gui family, but worked hard inside and out, relying on one-handed needlework to support the family, brought filial piety to your grandfather, and also sent your grandmother filial piety. Who said that she also did the filial piety of being a daughter-in-law and was worthy of the daughter-in-law of the Gui family. Now just because you are back, she is willing to take a step back and not fight with you for anything, but you also have to appreciate it, don't learn from you to be a white-eyed wolf! If that's the case, others can tolerate it, and the old man can't tolerate it! By the end, he had already shouted a shout.

Gui Chongyang lowered his hand and listened, although he did not agree with the last sentence of the old man, he did not reply, and replied respectfully: "Second grandfather, rest assured, my cousin has worked hard all these years, and from now on she will be her grandson's aunt, and her aunt is also a mother, and her grandson must be filial to her aunt." ”

This promise is not that Gui Chongyang said good things to fool people, but that he was sincere.

With Mei's dedication in the Gui family, if she hadn't taken the initiative to take a step back, what was waiting for Gui Chongyang would be an embarrassing situation. Gui Chongyang Rao will obey his father's orders again, and he will not let his deceased mother lose his status as a wife in order to return to the Gui family, and the final result can only be a stalemate. When the time comes, relatives are not relatives, and this is a joke to be a patriarch.

Thinking of this, Gui Chongyang turned to Mei and said, "Auntie, my nephew is young, and I will have to rely on my aunt to take care of and teach me in the future." ”

Mei's soul has been reluctant for half a day, except for hearing the news that his cousin's fiancé has married his own son and died, the rest is confused about what to do in the future. If you want to say that she and her cousin grew up together, their love is real, but her cousin has not heard from her for more than ten years, and she has been prepared for a long time.

For the sake of the successor of the uncle's family, the Mei family is willing to take a step back, but if she is not the daughter-in-law of the Gui family, what will happen to their aunt and nephew in the future?

Gui Chongyang's words in front of him made Mei's eyes light up, and the whole person immediately became vivid. She hurriedly helped Gui Chongyang and said: "Good boy, get up quickly, don't worry, if you have an aunt to eat in the future, you won't be hungry......"
