Chapter 70: The Compensation Received (Part II)

It has already been changed, and the villagers have dispersed.

Gui Wu didn't enter the house, but said a few words to Mei in the courtyard, and went back to the second room with Gui Chun, who came to find him.

First put down the two-bedroom house to repair, but first started the house on the side of the old house, and also rushed here. No matter how Du Li restrains him, with the virtue of Old Lady Li, these pieces of wood will not be used for a day, and he will be worried about snatching them back.

*

Here in the second room, Gui's second grandfather and Gui's second grandmother have been waiting anxiously.

Seeing Gui Wu coming back, Gui Er's grandmother was busy and said, "Why have you been doing it for so long?" Didn't you go to Lizheng's house, Fang Cai Chun'er went to look for you and didn't find you. ”

Logging is manual work, and it is more than 30 trees cut down in one go. Gui Wu is the main family, not good to be lazy, really out of strength, only then did he feel weak, sat on the edge of the kang with a butt, and said: "I'm hungry, I went up the mountain to cut down the tree just now, Du Li is sentenced, Li Facai compensated our family for thirty-six poplar trees, and just now I cut it down in one go." Mother, is there anything else to eat in the kitchen? ”

"The old son, the eldest grandson, and the lifeblood of the old couple", seeing the old son tired like this, Gui's second grandmother was distressed, so she first brought a bowl of cold white and drove it over, and then went to the kitchen in person.

The two daughters-in-law of the Yang family and the Jiang family are here, where will the old lady cook? hurriedly followed.

"Mother, the daughter-in-law will come, the lights are dim, don't knock on it." Yang coaxed Gui's second grandmother and pushed her out.

"Put down the dragon beard noodles and lay down two eggs." Grandma Gui Er instructed uneasily.

"Okay, just picked up the eggs." Yang responded.

Seeing that the Jiang family was also in the kitchen, Grandma Gui hesitated for a moment, but she didn't say anything to let her go back to the house to rest, and went by herself. In the final analysis, Gui Wu is a man of the Jiang family, and he did not instruct his sister-in-law to work, but she is lazy as a daughter-in-law.

It was the Yang family, who looked at the skirt on Jiang's body and said, "Brother and sister also go back to the house, don't rub your clothes." ”

Jiang said with a smile: "I can only burn the fire, and I am thinking about learning from my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law will think I'm stupid if I pick me up again." ”

The Yang family couldn't say anything, so they could only let the Jiang family go. She has already seen that whether it is a brother-in-law or a sister-in-law, they all have a private house at hand, and they will not stay in the countryside for long in the future, and the two sons will have to rely on the brother-in-law more in the future.

*

In the house, Grandma Gui was amazed: "That old shrew of the Li family, let you cut down the tree?" It's been a long time, I can see everything, I never thought that I would see the Li family's shrews suffer in this life! ”

Gui Wu said with a smile: "It's not that there is a Du Lizheng, I guess he also knows that Mrs. Li is difficult, and asked everyone to go up the mountain to cut down trees overnight, and I don't know what he promised in private, let Li Facai stop Mrs. Li from messing around, and let them restrain Mrs. Li by themselves." ”

Second Grandpa Gui was silent for a while: "If the old house is repaired first, then the three people in the front yard will have to move over, how to live, and think of a charter." ”

Gui's second grandmother's face drooped, this is naturally not dislike Mei's aunt and nephew. a niece and a foreign eldest granddaughter-in-law, it is just right to be close to one or two; However, there is also Gui Chongyang.

"I said earlier that the two families have separated, why did they get together again?" Grandma Gui Er muttered.

Gui Wu glanced at Gui Er's grandmother and said, "Otherwise, I'll inquire about who in the village has a free house?" ”

This time, it was Gui's second grandmother who was anxious, and said, "The old woman just said that, can you really not let them live?" Really let them go out to live by themselves, so isn't our second room poked in the back? ”

Gui's second grandfather said: "Let Shunniang's aunt and nephew live with Chun'er and his mother, and let Chongyang live with Chun'er and ......" Speaking of this, he paused and said: "The west house in the upper room is empty now, clean it up and make a study, and read it to your two uncles and nephews." ”

There is no way to arrange this way, although Mei's aunt and nephew are guests, it is not good to live in the room with the future mother-in-law of the Yang family, and Gui Chongyang is not qualified to go to the room past his cousin and cousin.

The last person who was qualified to move into the Westinghouse was the Yang family, but there was no reason for the widowed daughter-in-law to live opposite the father-in-law. If the Yang family doesn't live, no one in this family is qualified to cross her to the house.

"That little cub can't eat coarse grains, and when the time comes, another family will serve him." Grandma Gui Er was still complaining.

Although Gui Wu likes family harmony, he also knows that some things are reluctant, rather than making Gui Er's grandmother feel uncomfortable, and making Gui Chongyang feel uncomfortable, it is better to live together at the beginning, otherwise it will be thankless. Therefore, he really thought about another way to settle it.

Seeing his son's reaction, Gui's second grandfather blamed his wife and said: "Don't say a word, it's always like this, the heart is good-hearted, it's all bad on this mouth, isn't today's pimple soup what you told Chun'er to do?" ”

Grandma Gui Er sneered, so she stopped talking.

Gui's second grandfather said: "The younger generation is just three of them, and in the future, I won't say who borrowed whose light, but I can't be alienated from it, I can't eat in a pot, and the love will be thick, it's good!" ”

"It's not big, but it's full of eyes, and I don't know which one I follow? Chun'er and Qiu'er don't add up to as much as him! Grandma Gui Er said the truth: "The old woman is not worried that Chun'er and her two brothers will be fooled and suffer losses in the future!" ”

Second Grandpa Gui shook his head and said, "This little one is stronger than the little four." Xiao Si's bastard thing is a non-responsible one! ”

Gui Chongyang came back for half a month, and Gui's second grandfather also knew that Gui Yuan was deceived and lost his silver back then, and it was still difficult to hide his indignation.

*

The old house of the Gui family, in the yard.

Mei Duo looked at the pile of wood high in front of her, covering her mouth and laughing.

Gui Chongyang looked at it from the side and said with a smile: "Cousin can laugh if she wants to, what do you have to worry about at home?" ”

Mei Duo stuck out her tongue, pointed in the direction of the Li family, and whispered: "I'm afraid that Mrs. Li will go crazy, haha, only their family has taken advantage of others, and I'm afraid that my heart, liver and lungs will hurt this time!" ”

Mei stood at the door and said, "Why don't you come to the house to clean up your things and feed the mosquitoes outside?" ”

Mei Duo and Gui Chongyang entered the house at this time.

Mei Duo went back to the West House to pack her luggage, and Mei and Gui Chongyang went to the East House.

Looking at the snow-white walls in front of him, the bookcases full of books, and the Lantern Festival sleeping soundly on the kang, Mei's brows frowned slightly.

Although the old house still looks dilapidated from the outside, in fact, Gui Chongyang came back for half a month and cleaned up seriously. The loess floor of the house was overwhelmed, and the roofs and walls of the east and west rooms were plastered with white paper, which looked much brighter and cleaner.

Gui Chongyang loves to be clean, and Mei's aunt and nephew are not sloppy people, and everyone is happy when they live cleanly. But now that I want to go to the second room to borrow, where can I clean up other people's houses?

There is also Gui Chongyang's love for his eyes, and he doesn't read at night, but he often reads in the house during the day. What should I do if I don't have a study room in the second room?

In addition to accommodation, food is also a problem. Now at home, Mei's cooking will naturally take care of Gui Chongyang's taste; When you go to the second room to borrow, you can't always start a partnership alone.

Gui Chongyang didn't know that Mei was worried about her food and housing, and when she was worried about Mei Duo, she whispered: "Wouldn't it be bad to let my cousin live in this way?" ”

Mei Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what Gui Chongyang was worried about.

Mei Duo is going to marry into the second room in the future, but now that the family affairs have not been finalized, people will live in the past, and when the news that the two are going to get married spreads, I don't know what speculation will appear outside. The rumors between men and women can be said a few words after chasing the wind and shadows, and Mei Duo is about to be looked down upon.

Mei Shi thought about this question seriously and said, "It seems that I have to talk to a few elders over there about this matter tomorrow." ”

Gui Chongyang thought for a while and said, "What is the constitution of my aunt's dowry?" But do you know what to expect? ”

Although in terms of blood, Mei Duo is the cousin who turned the corner, and there is a cousin; In terms of "creditor" and "debt", Mei Duo and Gui Chun both lost their fathers because of Gui Yuan, but women in this world are different from men, Mei Duo is more difficult, and Gui Chongyang has a bias in his heart.

Mei said: "Even if you don't mention it, I also want to discuss this with you, the Mei family should come to ask for the title deed in the next few days, I will leave fifteen acres and give them twenty-five acres." The ten acres under the names of Duo'er and I will be Duo'er's dowry field, and the five acres that my mother brought to the Mei family back then will be transferred to your name and returned to the Gui family. ”

When Gui Chongyang heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, I will marry my cousin, I will buy land for my family in the future, aunt, you can rest assured." ”

Mei shook his head and said: "You don't have to postpone it, 'the elder gives it, you can't say it' is not a gift from me, but a little bit of my mother's heart to my mother's family...... At that time, my mother's sickbed, in addition to worrying about me, I was not worried about my mother's family. She has always regretted that she should not have taken out the dowry field when her uncle was in trouble, and if she had scraped together more silver, she would not have ...... No matter how much you add in the future, these are a little bit of the old man's heart for his mother's family......"
