Chapter 35: The Kind Fat Tuanzi and the Insidious Du Lizheng
No wonder Gui Chongyang was surprised, the person in front of him was only four feet tall, but he had to be three and a half feet horizontally, and his face was like a big steamed bun with a face, white and fat, and his facial features were not real.
How do you eat this, and can you eat it like this?
Especially this fat dumpling is followed by a little guy with a bookbox, who is more than ten years old, like a hemp pole, which reflects that this big fat dumpling is even fatter.
Gui Chongyang's face was full of curiosity, and when he stayed here with Gui Er's grandfather and Gui Wu, his gaze at the big fat dumpling was a little complicated.
Seeing that a few people were silent, the big fat group just wanted to ask again, but the little guy hurriedly pulled it and said in a low voice: "Young master, they are from the Gui family." β
The big fat dumpling immediately went silent, and his white and tender face was inexplicably a little embarrassed: "That...... Then you wait for ......" Before the words fell, he rushed into the courtyard, but he was not clumsy.
Gui Chongyang was still inexplicable, and when he saw the expressions of Gui Er's grandfather and Gui Wu, his heart moved, and he whispered: "Fifth uncle, this is Du Qilang?" β
Gui Wu nodded and said, "I met twice in the town, and it was Du Qilang from the Li family. β
After the "Difficulty of Seven Dings" that year, Guida's wife Li didn't even keep her filial piety, so she let her mother's family take her back, and then married into the Du family. conceived in October, and gave birth to Du Qilang, the only son of the Du family.
"October, are you sure it's October?" Gui Chongyang was inexplicably a little nervous.
The widowed aunt remarried, but is the time to give birth too tight?
Second Grandfather Gui sighed, and Gui Wu said: "At that time, your second grandfather and second grandmother also doubted it, but the days were not right. Village Chief Du is a shrewd person, if there is something wrong, he will not suffer this loss in vain. β
Gui Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief, this Du family is not good, the Du Gui family will always have to face each other, if the bloodline of this big fat group is doubtful, it will inevitably make people restrain their hands and feet at that time.

When the Du family went to the house, Village Chief Du pulled his fat son, his face full of distress: "Why did you lose weight, but you can't eat well in the school?" If you kill a chicken at night, you have to make up for it. β
The big fat dumpling, that is, Du Qilang pouted and sullen: "Dad, I don't eat, everyone laughs at me for being fat!" β
"Where is fat, this is not just right, don't listen to the sour words of those poor ghosts." Village Chief Du himself is a fat man, so he naturally thinks that his son follows his father, and the fat and rich state is just right.
Li was beside him, looking at his son lovingly.
Du Qilang hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, someone from the Gui family is here, and he is still waiting at the gate." β
Village Chief Du waved his hand casually and said, "If you are in a hurry, just tell them to wait." β
The Li family regarded Du Qilang as the top of their hearts, and when they saw that his expression was wrong, they immediately raised their eyebrows: "But what did the Gui family talk about?" β
Village Chief Du also had frost on his face.
Du Qilang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no...... Be...... It's ......"
Li became more and more anxious: "What is it?" β
Du Qilang drooped his head and said in a muffled voice: "It's a joke from my classmates in the school that our family doesn't know how to be polite......"
Du Qilang was twelve years old, had no fame, and was not qualified to study in the county school. It was the village chief Du who spent a lot of money to borrow the reading and sent it in, but the scholar is the most high, so naturally he can't see this, everyone is young and vigorous, and there are a few people who look at Du Qilang unpleasantly and take pleasure in teasing him.
The son of a rich man in the countryside naturally has nothing to fear. After the Du family's affairs were investigated, the joke escalated, from ridiculing Du Qilang's obese fat to ridiculing the Du family's improper family style.
Du Qilang has reached the age of shame, although he knows that his classmates are malicious, but he also has his own judgment.
Daming can't help but women remarrying, but most of the remarried women keep a year of filial piety for their deceased husbands; Most of the widowed women who guarded the door also acted in the same way.
The Du family's mother, Li, didn't even keep the "burn seven" for her first husband, and she should get married in a few days; Du Erniang, the second daughter of the Du family, did not keep filial piety to her deceased fiancΓ©, and after getting the funeral letter, she immediately married into the Mei family. The two women did not keep filial piety, they did not know the etiquette, the Du family and the Gui family were originally in-laws, but they took advantage of the chaos to marry the widows of the in-laws' families across generations, which is not kind. This widow is pregnant when she enters the door, who believes that the two have no adultery?
Du Qilang was uncomfortable just now when he learned that the guest was the Gui family, because he read the book of Confucius and Mencius, and he didn't think that his parents were right. It's just that his father is his father's mother, and it's not something he can blame as a son.
"Those rabbit cubs are jealous of our family's wealth, so they are blind and blind to this, you should be a shit when you hear it, and you still take it to heart?" Village Chief Du was also despised by scholars, and it was annoying to think about it.
Li's face was blue and white, and he naturally guessed what his son's words were roughly, most of which were due to his remarriage when he was filial piety.
Du Qilang endured it, but still said: "Dad, don't tell the Gui family to wait in vain, it's not good for the people in the village to see it." β
Village Chief Du only felt that his heart was blocked, but looking at his son's expectant eyes, he still nodded.
Du Qilang went down to freshen up, and the village chief Du stroked his chest and said: "Qilang has a soft temperament, he is bullied outside, no one is watching, I will go to Mei's house to find Mei Tongsheng in a while, and set down the relationship between Liuniang and Mei Xiaozi." has become a close in-law, Mei Sheng's kid will also take care of Qilang in the future. β
Li was dissatisfied: "Isn't it a serious in-law now, that Mei boy is cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and he really can't be cooked, and he has always been swaggering." It's Shichiro here, and it's impossible to say that he was implicated by him, so he will be bullied. β
This is strong words, the results of the exam cannot be faked, and the first is the first.
Both husband and wife felt unlucky, but they still didn't want to go against their son's wishes, so Village Chief Du waved his hand and sent the old man out to take people.
Li couldn't sit still, got up and said, "I'll go see Shichiro." So saying, he went into the back room with the curtain.

Gui Chongyang followed the two elders in, and what he saw was the village chief Du who was like Maitreya.
Looking at this fat body, it is exactly the same as Fang Cai's big fat ball, it must be no different from father and son. was hung at the door for two quarters of an hour, Gui Chongyang thought that this village chief Du must be a domineering person, but he didn't expect it to be a kind fat man.
"I was in the backyard just now, and I came late, so you guys have been waiting for a long time, so sit down quickly." Village Chief Du is enthusiastic, and he can't see that he has a dislike for the Gui family.
Village Chief Du looked at Gui Wu and then at Gui Chongyang, and said with a smile: "Second Brother Gui, this is the fifth boy?" It's still like when he was a child, Sven is delicate, no wonder Master Jiang loves him like a parent; This little one is the son of the fourth elder brother Gui's family? This looks like a little boy in the city, not like a child like us who can come out of a family. β
It sounds like a compliment, but you can't think about it.
Gui Chongyang listened, but breathed a sigh of relief, originally thought that a city government was a deep fat man, but he didn't expect that there would be a dry move first, and then there would be the current ridicule, and he was not a stable person.
Second Grandpa Gui lowered his face and looked up at Village Chief Du. ridiculed Gui Wu's sentence and "praised" Gui Chongyang's sentence, but he was questioning his bloodline.
"What does the village chief mean? Do you suspect that my nephew is pretending to be a bloodline? The old man asked directly.
Gui Wu looked at Village Chief Du suspiciously: "Why did the village chief say that?" Or does the village chief know the whereabouts of my fourth brother and don't believe that he can marry and have children peacefully? It's strange to say, who in the village doesn't know that my fourth brother is honest, why did he just leave like crazy, regardless of the life or death of his parents and brothers? β
This is suspecting that Village Chief Du has abducted Gui Yuan, and Village Chief Du hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I just said it casually, you two are annoyed, and this is too much to laugh at." β
An outsider can suppress the local surname and seek the position of village head, and Village Chief Du is not a fool. Regardless of Gui Wu or Jiang Wu, the connections made in the town are still there, and it is always difficult to offend in vain, so you have to wait and see. The naturalization that could have embarrassed the Gui family was solved by the Gui family themselves, which also gave Village Chief Du a wake-up call.
However, Village Chief Du is not in a hurry, since the two uncles and nephews have settled in Mujia Village, they have fallen into their own bowls, and there is always a chance to train them.
Thinking like this, Village Chief Du smiled, and agreed to record the uncle and nephew in the village Ding Book without embarrassment.
Gui Chongyang is okay, there are still several years before Chengding; Gui Wu has already become a Ding, and there are still many places where he can use his hands and feet in the future, and Village Chief Du is naturally not happy.
The matter was done, and several members of the Gui family came out of Village Chief Du's house, and no one felt relaxed. No matter how kind the village chief Du is, there is a lesson from the past thirteen years ago, and no one will really regard him as a good person.
"Fifth uncle, you have to make money quickly." Gui Chongyang Road.
Gui Wu nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the town to buy a shop and a house, how much silver can you come up with?" β
