In the middle of the night, there was an occasional dog barking in the quiet village chief.

Second Grandpa Gui tossed and turned, not sighing, which caused Second Grandma Gui to be upset: "Dead old man, he doesn't sleep yet, and he can't live in peace!" ”

Second Grandpa Gui turned over and sat up, and said quietly: "Old woman, I'm afraid." ”

Everyone has selfish intentions, and Grandpa Gui is naturally not a saint. For what happened thirteen years ago, he didn't regret it, he knew that there might be danger, but he didn't expect it to be so tragic. He was in the prime of life, but unfortunately he went hunting in the back mountains and broke his leg. There were only two adults in the family, he and his eldest son, and the eldest son died later, and ended up with a white-haired man sending a black-haired man.

If time comes back, Gui's second grandfather doesn't know if he will still attach so much importance to brotherhood, give up his family and sell land to make up for the hole for the eldest brother, and let the eldest son take the vacancy. Flesh and blood, he is willing to break his family and pay off the famine for his eldest brother, but he is reluctant to give up his eldest son's life.

Gui's second grandfather and Gui's village chief are siblings, and they both have such complaints, not to mention Gui's second grandmother who married in.

Gui's second grandmother also turned over and sat up, and the old couple didn't light the lamp, just sat opposite each other, thinking about it.

After a long while, Gui Er's grandmother said, "What did you do earlier?" Back then, you said that although you split up, the brothers are also your own people, and you originally intended to sell land to help the eldest brother plug the hole, but I didn't stop you; When the Du family was bad, the hole couldn't be blocked, and the boss needed to follow him, I didn't stop you; At the moment, I don't know what else to stop! That little cub is the seed of your Gui family, you can treat you as you like, and I won't stop you this time. It's just that at the end of the day, after all, the family has been separated, and I don't allow that little cub to live in the house. Mao hasn't grown up yet, and he is the patriarch with his mouth closed, and he is not a peaceful person at first glance. Life at home is not easy, but he can't be allowed to follow it. ”

Second Grandpa Gui sighed heavily: "I didn't think about making his family, the old house was broken, and when the wheat was harvested, it would be picked up after spending two dollars." Let Qiu'er find someone to buy a few acres of land nearby, and she will be able to live in the future. ”

Grandma Gui Er sneered: "It's close, think beautifully!" There are several villages within a radius of ten miles that sell land, and since the Du family is in front, it can also be the turn of others......" Speaking of this, he paused: "I don't believe you didn't see your daughter-in-law's plan, it's in mind, and now you have to talk about buying land." I don't blame her, she is all poor at home. Qiu'er is okay, there is a girl, she has already said it, just wait for Chun'er to marry her daughter-in-law; Chun'er was there, but there was no movement at all. Last year, my daughter-in-law went to several matchmakers' houses, but no one picked them up, and she cried several times when she came back. ”

"The old son, the eldest grandson, and the lifeblood of the old couple", Gui's second grandfather also loves his eldest grandson, and he also thumped his legs with chagrin when he thought about it: "It's all my old cripple, if it's good, I can make up for it by running a few times in the mountains." ”

The mood of the old couple was very sad and complicated, and they chattered until the second half of the night, and then fell asleep in a daze.

At dawn the next day, amid the barking of chickens and dogs, Gui Chongyang woke up early.

Wearing the clothes he got back from Gui Er's grandfather's house yesterday, Gui Chongyang was a little novel. He was dressed in a short strip of coarse cloth, his shirt and pants were washed and faded, and his knees and elbows were sewn with patches of almost the same color. Although the material is coarse, as Yang said, it has been washed many times, and it has not been washed again, so it has become very soft and not difficult to wear.

The Gui family has not visited for many years, and there is no toothbrush prepared at home, so Gui Chongyang followed the example of the ancients, wiping his teeth with willow branches and rinsing his mouth with green salt.

The little white cat Lantern Festival squatted at Gui Chongyang's feet, stretched out his front paws and licked it on his body, as if he was also familiar, and when the sound of "clucking" sounded, the old hen walked out with a string of chicks, and Lantern Xiao immediately put down his paws, his eyes were round, and he was eager to try, and he couldn't wait to pounce on him immediately, and was fished in his arms by Gui Chongyang.

"Lantern Festival, you can't catch it, it's a chicken raised by my cousin, it's a little friend, you can play together, you can't use force." Gui Chongyang pointed to the chicken and preached to the Lantern Festival in a serious manner.

Mei Duo held the dustpan and came out to feed the chickens, just seeing this scene, she couldn't help but wonder.

It is said that people are clothes and saddles, yesterday he was still a delicate little boy, and today he has become a country baby, but that is at first glance, if you look carefully, Gui Chongyang is not with ordinary children. Such a white and pure child is indeed not supposed to go to the ground to eat, and for a while, Mei Duo is not so resistant to her aunt's request for Gui Chongyang to study.

Gui Chongyang had already seen Mei Duo, put down the Lantern Festival, and lowered his hand and said, "Cousin." ”

Yesterday, after Gui Chongyang said that he would respect Mei as his own aunt, he changed his words about Mei, directly changing from "cousin" to "aunt"; Mei Duo here, he also saved his surname and regarded it as his own family.

After knowing what happened to Mei's aunt and nephew, Gui Chongyang naturally knew the impact of his return on the two. According to the blood relationship, it is true that he is in this family, but everything comes first and comes first, and it cannot be said that Mei's aunt and nephew are outsiders.

Before Mei Duo could reply, Lantern Xiao had already rushed over, and "meowed" next to Mei Duo's skirt.

Mei Duo felt that her heart was about to be called, and she agreed to Gui Chongyang, so she put down the dustpan and picked up the Lantern Festival.

Lantern Xiao licked Mei Duo's hand and was extremely well-behaved.

Gui Chongyang snorted coldly, despising the lustfulness of the Lantern Festival. It's obviously a lazy and greedy fat cat, and it's a lecherous problem, and when you see a good look, you have to tease it.

Seeing that Mei Duo was close to the Lantern Festival, full of joy, and forgot about feeding the chickens, Gui Chongyang shook his head, resigned himself to the dustpan, and learned the way Mei Duo fed the chickens yesterday, and screamed "coo".

The arrogant old hen didn't recognize it, and immediately brought a string of chicks over to surround Gui Chongyang.

Gui Chongyang glanced at the chicken food in the dustpan, which was mixed with unknown wild vegetables and wheat bran, so he raised two handfuls to the ground, because he had never done it before, and he was clumsy, so some of them spilled on the upper of his shoes, causing two little chicks to jump up and eat.

Gui Chongyang was frightened, and his body immediately stiffened, but he was afraid of alarming the little chick, so he didn't dare to move.

Gui Chun came over, saw Gui Chongyang's appearance, and hurriedly took the dustpan in his hand: "Where can you do this, give it to me!" ”

Gui Chongyang sneered: "Why can't you do it? If it's not familiar now, it's good to do it twice more. ”

Mei Duo hugged the cat and didn't step forward, just stood there and looked at Gui Chun.

Gui Chun immediately had the same hands and feet, which was even more clumsy than Gui Chongyang's appearance, which caused Mei Duo to "giggle".

The originally quiet small courtyard has unconsciously gained popularity.
