。

Gui Er's grandmother went back, and Gui Chun came again, but she listened to Gui's second grandmother's instructions and came to deliver food, 30 catties of millet and 20 catties of sorghum. In the end, there is one more person, the old lady is afraid that the rations of the long house will not be available.

Gui Chongyang accepted it, but he was thinking about how to honor and honor the old couple in the second room. He has always been a man who would rather suffer a loss than take advantage.

"Dad" once taught Gui Chongyang that you should not take advantage of a small advantage, as if you have taken advantage of it, but in fact you have lost your identity and are despised, but you have suffered a loss; But if there is really a big bargain in front of you, it would be a fool not to take advantage of it.

Gui Chongyang is so distinct, not to draw a clear line with the second room, but to think that these two old people are also involved in "cause and effect" with their own family, and they can't be negligent just because they are relatives.

Some people are like this, they will feel that they should repay a little bit of what they owe to outsiders, and they will be grateful if they get benefits from outsiders, but they are at ease when they owe their relatives, and they don't know how to be grateful when they get the benefits of their relatives, Gui Chongyang doesn't want to be that kind of person.

Mei Xiaoba is really obedient, since Gui Chongyang ordered him to call people before, he called Gui Chun "Brother Chun".

Speaking of which, Mei Xiaoba will be Gui Chun's brother-in-law in the future, so close to the title, Gui Chun is naturally happy, and Mei Xiaoba will also be a little closer.

Under the friendliness and comfort of everyone, Mei Xiaoba, who was trembling, finally felt at ease.

In order to "catch the wind" for Mei Xiaoba, dinner is to make braised noodles, one color roasted eggplant shredded marinade, and one color bacon and celery marinated.

Mei Xiaoba tossed for a day, she was already hungry, and when she saw the delicious food, her eyes lit up, and she picked up the noodles, and the food was fragrant, and there was no haze at all.

Gui Chongyang and Mei looked at each other, and only then did they really put their minds at ease.

A loving aunt, a gentle sister, a wise brother, and a white and chubby Lantern Festival uncle, Mei Xiaoba smiled and took Mei's sewn new schoolbag and went back to the east wing.

When he was wearing his new middle coat, he couldn't lie down because of the scars on his back, so he could only lie on the kang, the corners of Mei Xiaoba's mouth drooped a little, his head was buried in the pillow, and big tears poured out of his eyes.

In the west wing, Gui Chongyang sat at his desk.

Lantern Xiao lay on Gui Chongyang's knees, "purring" and sleeping soundly.

Gui Chongyang stroked the cat while muttering to himself: "Is it wrong?"

If there was no "teaching" from Gui Chongyang's ulterior motives, Mei Xiaoba would not have noticed the bad of her stepmother, and she would still be the heartless Mei Xiaoba who was coaxed by her stepmother, instead of becoming the "Mei Xu" who left her blood relatives.

In that case, after ten or eight years, Mei Xiaoba will become an ordinary village man, and his father and stepmother will stay by his side in the name of the eldest son to be a cow and a horse, and wait until the younger one grows up and becomes a family, and he no longer needs Mei Xiaoba to find a reason to separate.

Many people live like that, who says it must be unhappy

No one asked Mei Xiaoba about his choice, and no one asked him to choose, so he pushed him step by step to this point, and Gui Chongyang felt a little more guilty.

In the west room of the upper room, Mei's aunt and nephew sat on the side of the kang, and they were not settled.

Mei Duo said worriedly: "Auntie, do you want to go and see Xiaoba before leaving home, and today I went through these things again." ”

Mei shook his head and said: "I can only wait for him to think about it slowly, after all, he is still a child, and he doesn't want to think about it as soon as he leaves home, just wait for a long time." ”

Mei Duo still couldn't hide her worry on her face: "Auntie, Xiaoba is ten years old. What will he do in the future if he is different from Chongyang?"

Now that I'm ten years old, I don't have to worry about anything else, but after I reach fifteen or six, I have to worry about Mei Xiaoba's family. When he was young, he was able to rely on the Gui family, and when he grew up, he always had to stand up on his own. But he, the heir of the Mei family, in addition to a false name, can't inherit any family property, what will he do when the time comes

Mei Shi was very confident, and said: "I believe in Chongyang, for Xiaoba's future, Chongyang will take care of it." Following Chongyang's side, not to mention learning a skill, what he could do at that time. ”

Mei Duo frowned and said, "But Chongyang is also a child."

Mei shook his head and said: "Chongyang is not an ordinary child, the stall in the town was planned by him, Qiu'er will not have to worry about it in the future." Even you and Chun'er are here, and you will have to borrow the light of Chongyang in the future. ”

Mei Duo couldn't say anything against it, remembering the books on the bookcase, but she was curious about the "uncle" she had never met, hesitated for a while, and said, "Auntie, aunt...... What kind of person is the fourth cousin?"

It stands to reason that Mei Duo lost her father and mother because of the "difficulty of Jiuding", and she should have hated Gui Yuan, the culprit, but she was still in infancy at the time, and she really had no memory of her parents. It's hard to do all empathy.

Although Mei Duo was a little older, when he knew that he was fatherless and motherless, he was different from other children, and he also fantasized about what his parents looked like, but in the end, it was always his aunt Mei who came to mind.

Mei Shi was slightly stunned, obviously surprised that her niece would mention this person.

"Fourth cousin...... He is a very kind person...... He followed Chongyang's grandmother to believe in Buddhism, he never kills, and he has a good temperament, and he rarely ......blushes with people," Mei said while falling into memories, but except for the matter of "stealing silver", all he could think of was the benefits of Guiyuan, and he couldn't think of any bad deeds.

"What happened back then happened so fast that no one had seen him since he left, and I don't know how he got there...... With his temperament, he knew that there might be such consequences, and he would never do this, he has always been filial, and he has a good relationship with several brothers...... Over the years, I don't know how he came over. Mei sighed.

A young man in a village, who was only 15 years old when he left his hometown, did not know how much hard work he had to endure to gain a foothold outside.

Although Gui Chongyang got back the household post, the head of the household on it was Gui Yuan, but because of the place where he became a naturalized citizen, the Gui family guessed that he was a son-in-law, although he didn't need to be a son-in-law, but it was almost the same as a family, and he had to rely on the Yue family to live.

This is also the main reason why Mei's family took a step back and did not fight for their reputation, and Gui's second grandfather and his wife did not insist on making decisions for Mei's.

No matter why the Wu family recruited a son-in-law, just because she took in Gui Yuan, she was the benefactor of the Gui family; Not to mention that she also desperately gave birth to Gui Chongyang, leaving a bloodline for the Gui family's house.

"Chongyang is a mother, she is an excellent woman." Mei sighed.

Among the books that Gui Chongyang brought back, there were many unique ancient books, which were not available in bookstores outside, and were obviously heirlooms.

Mei is literate, and when he saw these books, he misunderstood, thinking that it was Gui Chongyang's biological mother's dowry, but he didn't think of his cousin Gui Yuan at all.

Mei Duo's opinion was not the same as that of her aunt, and said: "But Chongyang's mother died early, and Chongyang was raised by his fourth cousin." Chongyang also said that the fourth cousin sent him to enlightenment outside, but he also taught him a lot, and said that the fourth cousin was a talented person, but he didn't go out because of his physical illness. ”

Mei shook his head and said, "What Chongyang said is true, and it is not true. ”

"Hey, Chongyang is deceiving us," Mei Duo frowned.

Even if when Gui Chongyang first came back, Mei Duo was a little cautious, but later he really treated him as a family member and a younger brother.

Mei said: "It's not a lie...... In every child's heart, parents are the most powerful, such as your grandfather, although he is just an old boy who can't get into the show, but in his aunt's heart, he is one of the most talented people in the world, and few people can compare. Chongyang was brought up by his father, and father and son depended on each other, so naturally his father was the strongest and most talented person in his heart......"

"So that's the case, I thought that the fourth cousin had some adventures and became a great talent, so he would teach a child like Chongyang." Mei Duo let go of her curiosity about Gui Yuan and said, "I can't say that Chongyang was taught by his teacher, but it's a pity that it's far away, otherwise I should thank him well." ”

It was late at night, and the two aunts and nephews were not to be resettled.

Outside the east wing, Gui Chongyang stopped and heard the steady and small snoring sound inside, so he left with confidence.

In the east wing, Mei Xiaoba's tears were dry and she fell asleep.
