Backyard, main house.

After listening to the words, Jiang understood what her husband meant, and glanced at Sister Jiang Ping.

Speaking of which, it has been less than two months since Sister Jiang Ping arrived at Jiang's house, but she seems to have changed as a person, not to mention her fist, her little face is red and fluttering, and her little face is not the pitiful appearance of her yellow muscles and thin muscles before, and her body is new from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom.

The Jiang family naturally also has the clothes of the Jiang family in the early years, but Mrs. Jiang thinks that those clothes have faded over the years, so she refuses to take them out for Sister Jiang Ping to wear, saying that only this one granddaughter, who is a little girl in the year of cardamom, should wear it brighter.

Mrs. Jiang regarded her goddaughter as a sweetheart, which caused the three sisters and sisters of Jiang to be sour, and they disliked Sister Jiang Ping, a cheap niece, more and more; Here, the Jiang family can't say that Sister Jiang Ping is the same as the mother and daughter, but they pity it more and more.

Master Jiang and Mrs. Jiang are a few years older than Gui's second grandfather and Gui's second grandmother.

The old people of other people's families have long been teasing their grandchildren, and the great-grandchildren who have landed early have also been born, but the Jiang family has never seen a baby.

In the early years, in order to wait for the Jiang family to give birth to a child, Master Jiang and Mrs. Jiang never took their grandson to their side; When the Jiang family followed Gui Wu to the Gui family, several sisters and brothers-in-law of the Jiang family fought for property on the bright side, and even the cousins of the younger generation were tired of each other, and the quarrels continued, disturbing the purity of the old couple, and the old couple drove away and extinguished the idea of raising their grandson.

When there is Sister Jiang Ping, a well-behaved and clever girl, and she is a caring and sensible person, Mrs. Jiang's days revolve around Sister Jiang Ping, and everyone is a few years younger; It's Master Jiang's side, who said disdainfully at first, "It's another girl", but now every time he has a market day, he has to go out for a stroll or two, and buy a fruit, sugar melon or something for his granddaughter.

However, no matter how much the old couple loved Sister Jiang Ping, they did not forget that the Jiang family was here, and often sent people to send Sister Jiang Ping here to see her adoptive parents.

The old couple understood that they were getting older, and Sister Jiang Ping would have to rely on Gui Wu and his wife in the future; And the Jiang family has no biological flesh and blood, and the future pension must fall on Sister Jiang Ping, the adoptive sister.

Unfortunately, Sister Jiang Ping came to Jiang's house late; If it was placed in the first two months, when Gui Qiu was not married, Sister Jiang Jiangping said to Gui Qiu that it was the real best of both worlds, but now it is too late to say anything.

"The brother of the Li family, the neighbor of my hometown"? The Jiang family was still thinking about which of the younger brothers of the Li family, the reputation of the two brothers was not good, the eldest was ruthless and the second was obedient, and he didn't know how Chongyang mixed up with their brothers.

Sister Jiang Ping's face did not flinch and dodge, but said with a little certainty: "It is designated as the second brother, Li He is bad, and Chongyang will ignore him." Second brother...... The second brother is good, he always stole food for me a few years ago. Later, he stole steamed buns for me to eat, and Li He found out that he beat him, and his ears were bleeding, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare anymore. ”

The Jiang family showed pity on his face, and his impression of the Li family was even worse in his heart.

The eldest son of the Li family is about the same age as Gui Chun, and he has not yet reached adulthood a few years ago, but when he is a teenager, he knows that he aids and abuses and inflicts violence on his younger brother, which is really bad from the root.

As for Li Jiang, the second son of the Li family, no matter whether his character is good or bad, it is not appropriate to meet Sister Jiang Ping.

No matter how much Sister Jiang Ping changes, she can hide it from other uncommon villagers, but the Li family, who get along day and night under one roof, may not be able to hide it here. After two years, Sister Jiang Ping's body and facial features will be opened, and it will be no longer in the way.

"You look at the pattern first, I'll go to the front and take a picture and come back." Jiang got up and ordered Sister Jiang Ping.

Sister Jiang Ping also got up and answered honestly, but she knew the severity and didn't ask to go to see her cousin or anything like that.

*

In the study, Gui Chongyang hesitated, but he still didn't mention the black hair prescription in front of Li Jiang.

Even if the Li family is good, there is still a troublesome Li family behind it, if Li Jiang misses a sentence or two, it will cause the Li family to worry about it.

With the lessons of the Mei family, Gui Chongyang didn't want to invite another thief at home.

On the Mei family's side, the only people who could be instructed by Aunt Mei to steal the recipe from the Gui family were Mei Wu and Mei Qi, two teenagers; If the Li family really had bad intentions and took advantage of the location, and Li He, who was tall and ruthless, something would have happened.

At this moment, Jiang came in with a fruit bowl, which contained several dried fruit preserves.

Gui Chongyang and Gui Qiu hurriedly got up to see each other, and Li Jiang also stood up, a little at a loss.

Jiang's face was warm, and he had to ask Gui Chongyang about his in-laws' living in Kangtai and the like.

Gui Chongyang went back one by one before he said to the Jiang family: "Fifth aunt, this is the second brother Li of our neighbor's hometown, and he is the same as Cousin Mei. Then he said to Li Jiang: "Second Brother Li, this is my fifth aunt!" ”

"Aunt Jiang." Li Jiang's voice was not much louder than a fly, but he didn't climb up the pole and follow Gui Chongyang and Gui Qiu to call "Fifth Aunt", but politely brought a surname to call someone.

Jiang saw that Li Jiang was shy, but he was not disgusted.

Because Li Jiang looked a little scared of life, he lowered his head and didn't dare to raise it, Jiang happened to see his half-pulled side face, and there was an old scar under the root of his left ear, which was in line with what Sister Jiang Ping said before.

Gui Chongyang is not a person who comes to the door without incident, and the Jiang family is puzzled, so it is not good to ask now, leaving their uncle and nephew to continue talking, and go back to the backyard by themselves.

Only then did Li Jiang dare to raise his head, his eyes fell on Jiang's back, and he looked at her pleated skirt with envy.

Gui Qiu had already discovered that the little cousin was talking in circles today, and he hadn't mentioned serious things yet, his eyes turned around, and he beckoned Li Jiangdao: "It's rare for you to come to the town to play, come, take you to the dock to see and see, there are just a few big ships docked in the morning!" ”

Li Jiang was curious, but he didn't make up his mind, but waited for Gui Chongyang's reaction.

The two are two years apart, but Gui Chongyang has a calm bearing, and he is young and old, which makes people rely on him unconsciously.

Gui Chongyang said: "Since my second brother is free, Second Brother Li will follow him to wander around, and I happen to have homework to ask the fifth uncle!" ”

"Then I'm not going either." Li Jiang hurriedly shook his head and whispered.

Gui Qiu didn't need Gui Chongyang's persuasion, he pulled Li Jiang's arm, pulled it and left, and said, "Why don't you go?" The fifth uncle chatted with Chongyang about learning, and we didn't understand, but it wasn't a suffocating person, so let's go with me! ”

Gui Qiu was a year older and full of strength, and before Li Jiang could react, he had already taken him out with a push.

The outside is drifting away.

In the study, Gui Chongyang whispered about Fang Zi, and also mentioned the news of the thief in the morning.

Gui Wu's brows furrowed tightly, and he said, "Since you are a thief, how can you choose to calm things down?" If there is one, there will be two, and the other party will have a mind, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a second encounter! ”

The small people are afraid of the yamen, but here in Gui Chongyang, there is a backer in the yamen. There is also Du Lizheng's side, since he is avoiding the yamen, the Gui family has a trouble, and it is impossible to say that Du Lizheng will turn back to solve this matter, just like the theft of wood a few months ago.

"Yes...... Most of them are the two brothers of the Mei family, and in the end it is Xiaoba's grandfather's uncle's family, if things really make a big fuss, Xiaoba will be embarrassed! Gui Chongyang said: "But my nephew didn't plan to endure it like this, didn't he leave 'physical evidence', in the end it was broad daylight, inquire carefully, and look for witnesses." When the 'human evidence' and 'physical evidence' are really there, if it is really Mei Xiaoba's two cousins, I will go directly to find the old man of Mei Village! The Mei family now has two talents, and they boast of being a scholarly family, and they can't see this the most, so they will naturally restrain their own clansmen! ”

Gui, Mei, Yang, and Li are the four surnames in the village, and the total number of people in the Gui family is not small, but because of the split of "East Gui" and "West Gui", the "West Gui" side is thin, and now the family is full of old and weak, only Gui Wu and Gui Chun's uncle and nephew are two Cheng Ding, and Gui Wu is still in the town, and there is always a time when he can't take care of it.

Gui Chongyang's plan is not to directly confront Uncle Mei's family, and it can be regarded as outwitting.

Gui Wu was still unsatisfied, and said, "What if I can't find someone for a while?" If there is no witness, the physical evidence is dead, and the other party will not recognize it at that time, what will happen to you? ”

Where did Gui Chongyang think about this, he couldn't help but get stuck.

Gui Wu mentioned the recipe and said: "You have never been a competitive character, can you use this strange recipe in the future, fortunately, now there is Zhang Xianzun as a backer." Otherwise, if there is really a trace of rumors leaking out, it will be a matter of inviting disasters, and even village women like Mei Xiaoba's aunt know the preciousness of this recipe, so how can others not think of it? ”

Gui Chongyang's face darkened, and he was comfortable for two months, and he lost his cautiousness.

Gui Wu patted him on the shoulder and said, "You want to sell your son, is there not enough money in the family?" ”

Gui Chongyang sneered: "Yes, my aunt prepared a dowry for my cousin, and I also want to add more!" ”

Gui Wudao: "It's been a month since the restaurant opened, let your second brother close the account, and you can draw out the money." Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Lady Meiduo, didn't you prepare a set of furniture?" Plus your aunt has prepared her soft luggage, that's enough. If you add too much, what do you think of your second aunt? Even if outsiders see it, they can't help but speculate. ”

Don't look at Mei Duo's infancy, she came to the Gui family, she grew up in the Gui family, but after all, she and Gui Chongyang are two surnames; However, Gui Chun and Gui Qiu, even if their ancestors have separated, they are also cousins of Gui Chongyang and his great-grandfather.

As a cousin, Gui Chongyang did not prepare anything for his cousin, but gave a generous gift to his cousin, which is easy to provoke criticism, but if there is one or two unpleasant sentences, it will affect the reputation of the two cousins.

Those people with broken mouths will not pay attention to Gui Chongyang who is twelve years old and Mei Duo who is fourteen years old, who are not very old, and can only say things like the two of them are under the same roof.

Even if it's just a matter of doing nothing, if you talk too much, it will inevitably make people feel guilty.

The Gui family has three brothers in the younger generation, and it is when they work together to revitalize the family that Gui Wu does not intend to make trouble because of Mei Duo's dowry.

Gui Chongyang's face turned red, and he understood the deep meaning of Gui Wu's words. He has always had a big heart, and he doesn't feel that he needs to scruple about anything, but with Mei Duo among them, a woman's reputation cannot be tarnished, so he has to refrain from it. And the Yang family here, if you really don't like the eldest daughter-in-law's new life because of the dowry, then the life of the second room will be difficult in the future.

Thinking that he might gossip with Mei Duo, Gui Chongyang felt uncomfortable, and felt uncomfortable when he thought about it, so he said: "I made a black hair ointment according to the recipe before, and today I went to buy the medicinal materials of the envoy, and I am afraid that there are discerning people in the village who can also see that there is a recipe at home, so get rid of it early, and save others from calculating!" ”

"Can't be sold!" Gui Wu immediately shook his head and said.
