Chapter 760: The Past Is Like the Wind
When she arrived in Taifeng County, Mrs. Gu looked at the rows of brand-new houses and couldn't help but say with emotion: "When I came back last time, the houses here were all dilapidated, but I didn't expect that I hadn't come back for eight years and changed so much." ”
An An had only been to Taifeng County once when she was six years old, and she had gone back after going to the grave of Mrs. Gu, so she was very unfamiliar with this place.
After taking a serious look, An An said: "Grandma, these houses don't look very new, they should have been built after the flood." ”
Old Madam Gu put on her glasses and looked at them carefully, and then said with a smile: "It's still your eyes." I'm old and useless. ”
An An put her arms around her and said, "Grandma, you are not old at all, and anyone who walks out thinks that you are at most forty." ”
When Old Madam Gu heard this, she laughed.
Mother Hua was also very happy when she saw that her grandchildren got along well, and at the same time made up her mind to persuade the old lady not to return to Pingzhou.
When I returned to Pingzhou, Gu Xian was mixed in the middle, and the chickens flew and the dogs jumped all day long. And following the eldest girl, the old lady is happy all day long, and she doesn't need to worry about anything.
After the flood that year, the old lady bought two plots of land in Taifeng County, one of which was built into a house. The day before yesterday, someone had been sent to clean it, so the grandfather and grandson lived in that house.
This house has blue tiles and white walls, and some trees are planted in the courtyard. But it's very well kept, there are no leaves or weeds on the ground.
An An nodded and said, "Grandma, this house is well cared for." ”
Old Madam Gu said with a smile: "This house was only built five years ago, and it is better than the house in Pingzhou." ”
The house in Pingzhou was built by her and the old man when they were young, and it has been more than 40 years. If it hadn't been renovated several times, I wouldn't have dared to live in it.
As soon as dinner was served, Gu Heping came over.
Old Madam Gu saw that his face was haggard, and her whole person was tired. Of course, people are much older than they were eight years ago.
Gu He saluted and asked, "Auntie, did you come back this time to go to the grave of your uncle?" ”
"Well, I'll go back after going to the grave."
Gu Heping nodded and said, "Then I'll go and prepare incense and paper money now, and I'll accompany you tomorrow morning." ”
Old Madam Gu nodded and asked, "Have you had dinner?" If you don't have it, stay and eat it together! ”
Gu Heping hesitated before nodding and saying, "Okay." ”
During the meal, Mrs. Gu asked, "Did you encounter any difficulties?" ”
Gu Heping wanted to say no, but he couldn't say anything when he saw Old Madam Gu's concerned eyes.
After a long time, he said with a wry smile: "It's not a difficult thing, it's just that the family has been making noise all the time, and there is no clean." ”
"I heard that your daughter-in-law is capable and sensible, why is there still a commotion at home."
He didn't hide it from Mrs. Gu, as long as he inquired about his family's affairs, he would know: "Before I married Zeng, I recorded a shop and twenty acres of fertile land in the name of Fugui. Zeng knew about this at the time, and she had no objection. ”
Old Madam Gu asked, "Now I regret it and want these properties." ”
How many families have turned their faces over property, not to mention that Gu Heping and Zeng's are halfway husband and wife.
Gu Heping shook his head and said, "No." It's just that she said that since she was rich and had so much property in her name, and she married him, the house in the family could not be given to him. ”
After speaking, Gu Heping explained: "When you left, aunt, you gave me one hundred taels of silver, and I used the money to buy two pieces of land. I later built houses on both plots of land, and when I built one of them, I said that it was for the rich. ”
An An was not interested in their conversation at all, but she did not open her mouth to interrupt due to her upbringing.
Old Madam Gu asked, "Since you have already said it before, why is the Zeng family opposed?" ”
Gu Heping said: "She said that Fugui has already obtained so much property, and these two houses should be given to Fuchun and Fucai." ”
After speaking, he explained: "Fuchun and Fucai are the sons born to me and Zeng, and she wants to give these two houses to Fuchun and Fucai. But I have promised to be rich, and I will do what I say. ”
"You've already given the house to rich?"
Gu Heping nodded and said, "Yes, as soon as he becomes a parent, I will transfer the house to his name." ”
Because of this, the Zeng family had a big quarrel with him, and the relationship between husband and wife has not eased until now.
Old Madam Gu nodded and asked, "Fugui has already married, when will it be?" ”
Those previous grievances, after so many years, Old Madam Gu has already let go. And Fugui grew up in front of her, and now when she mentions Old Madam Gu, she wants to see him: "Tomorrow to the grave, you call Fugui together." ”
"Okay."
Seeing this, An An immediately added: "Just call him one, and forget the others." ”
The family was obviously at odds with her husband and wife over property, and she didn't want to see someone make trouble over property in front of her grandfather's grave tomorrow.
After eating, Gu Heping went to buy other things before the incense candles and went to the grave.
Before going to bed, An An asked, "Grandma, is he really the one who passed by?" ”
Seeing Old Madam Gu nodding, An An said with some disbelief: "He acts very principledly, how can he be the fool you said?" ”
Many people say that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, but Gu Heping is obviously not in this case.
"I used to be very confused, and I listened to his mother and daughter-in-law for everything. Later, I expelled him from the family, and he was instigated by his daughter-in-law to do business indiscriminately and ruined the family business, and then his daughter-in-law also ran away with someone, and since then his personality has changed a lot. Old Madam Gu smiled bitterly: "Looking back now, in fact, I also bear a lot of responsibility for what happened at the beginning. I didn't teach him well to manage him, which made Yuan's aunt and nephew take advantage of the loophole. ”
In the past, she had heard Mother Hua say: "Grandma, what do you do about it in the past so many years." ”
"If I didn't agree with him marrying Yuan Shanniang back then, maybe it would have been different."
An An shook her head and said, "Grandma, the past is like the wind, and it's useless to think about it." Besides, I see that he is quite good now, with a wife, children and several houses. ”
Not to mention being particularly wealthy, at least I don't have to worry about three meals.
"My grandmother and sister often told me that what you plant is what you reap. At the beginning, he insisted on marrying the woman himself, so he had to swallow the bitter fruit himself. ”
Old Madam Gu smiled and said, "You are right, the past is like the wind, and it is not interesting to dwell on these old sesame seeds and rotten grains." This person still has to look ahead. ”
"Grandma, after going to my grandfather's grave tomorrow, I will go back to Peach Blossom Village the day after tomorrow, and we will go back the day after tomorrow."
She didn't want to stay here any longer. Not to mention Mrs. Lin and Lin Chengzhong, even Lin Chengzhi is rejected by her. The people of the Lin family, except for Brother Wen, she doesn't like any of them.
Old Madam Gu nodded and said, "It's all up to you." But you still send a letter to your third uncle, and let him accompany you back the day after tomorrow. With him, your grandfather and second uncle don't dare to embarrass you. ”
Even if it is difficult, there is Lin Chengzhi in the way.
An An nodded and said, "Forget it today, it's too late, I'll have someone send a message to the third uncle tomorrow." ”
Since this trip to Peach Blossom Village is inevitable, let's take the initiative!
