Chapter 217: Not Happy
The rest: "Father, mother, from the beginning of winter to now, there has not been a heavy snowfall, have you seen the rape and wheat seedlings in the field, there is no big problem, right?" ”
In winter, there was little rain, not even snow, and the crops were going to dry up. In addition, if it does not snow, the pests in the field will not freeze to death, and the next year's crops will be reduced, which will greatly affect the harvest.
Hearing this, Guo honestly looked at the sky inside, and his expression was a little sad: "It's raining a little scattered, and the wheat seedlings and rape are fine, but it's not a matter if it doesn't snow for a long time, and it may have some impact." ”
Guo Mianmian nodded: "If the impact is not big, forget it, if the winter drought is really discovered, our family will reserve more food after the beginning of the year, so that we can only buy high-priced grain when we get it." ”
Several surrounding prefectures and cities can harvest two seasons of grain, and winter wheat is one of them. If the winter wheat output is found to be greatly limited, the grain price in Puyue will certainly rise in the coming year. When the tax is paid, I am afraid that there will be nothing left, or I will have to plan in advance.
Mu Shi was a little frightened, and looked at his wife: "Boss, didn't there be two light rains in the past, even if there is no snow and no winter drought, right?" It's going to be a real drought, how will you live this day! ”
Guo Laoshi was much calmer and said, "What are you afraid of our family's extra money?" After the big deal, I went to the town to buy a batch of food and returned to store it, and if there was no winter drought, I would sell the excess food, and I would not be able to lose money. ”
Guo Mianmian also smiled and comforted: "Yes, mother, this is just speculation, maybe God will reward us with a bite of food after the year?" ”
In fact, Guo Mianmian is more worried that the flower fields and the coming year will not be able to pick enough wildflowers, and he will not be able to make too much flower sauce. As a result, the family's income will be greatly affected. She also wants to take a closer look at the situation, so that the family can continue to innovate into a flower field.
Yueniang, who was already familiar with the workshop and the flower field, thought of a place with Guo Mianmian, and she leaned into the ear of the eldest sister and said worriedly: "Eldest sister, if there is really a winter drought, what should our flower field do?" Will I be able to pick flowers to make a flower sauce next year? ”
Guo Mianmian didn't want this sorrow to be known by her father, so she also replied in a low voice: "Let's take one step at a time, the silver earned at the mercy is enough for our family to spend a long time, it will be impossible next year, and the year after will be the same." ”
Yueniang couldn't think of a good way, so she nodded when she heard the words, and the sorrow on her face dissipated slightly.
Looking at his father, mother, brother and sister-in-law who continued to talk about the winter drought, Guo Mianmian pondered how to find a locust tree the next day and ask the Fang family's ancient acacia to see if it could predict what year it would be next. If it's a dry year, there are some things that should be planned in advance.
The winter drought was only the first sight, and it did not completely harm the crops in the field, and it was not certain whether there would be any changes after the year, so the family discussed for a while, and the topic turned to moving and the New Year again.
Four days passed in a flash, and for the rest of the Guo family, the four days were miserable, on the one hand, they had to block the new house, and on the other hand, they had to move the things that could be moved in the old house to that side.
Even Guo Yu, who had taken annual leave, put down his books and started to block his room. Guo Lin also returned, and under the care of his wife and daughter, he finally got out of the blow of infertility and put all his energy into studying, which was much more progressive than before.
On this day of reunion and celebration, an unpleasant bad word quietly spread from Shangzheng Village to Lijia Village......
In the past few days, the Guo family has been very busy, and no one has accidentally visited the door, and they have no idea about the gossip quietly spread in the village. It wasn't until daylight on the twenty-eighth day of the last month that Aunt Mu and her colleague Aunt Li came to find Mu's family, and after listening to the part-time job that the two said, Mu didn't know what happened after all.
Since yesterday, Aunt Mu Xi and Aunt Li have heard bad words about Guo Mianmian. actually said that the child in her womb was not the Zheng family's species, but the wild seed she conceived with an unknown wild man when she was building a house in the Guo family!
It's impossible to believe this bad word as soon as you hear it, but it happens that there are noses and eyes, saying that half of the Guo family has been gone for almost three months, and Guo Mianmian's stomach has only two months to emerge, and the time pair will know that it is not the Zheng family's species.
Moreover, this bad word came from Shangzheng Village, some people said that it was said by the old couple of the Zheng family themselves, and even said that Guo Mianmian did not voluntarily go back to her parents' house to have a baby, but was driven out by the Zheng family. When half of the Guo family's son returns, he will divorce his wife and completely drive Guo Mianmian, who does not abide by women's morals, out of the Zheng family.
There are many people in Lijiacun who have heard this bad word, but only a few people believe it. If the Guo family refutes the rumors when they are insufficient, they will soon spread everywhere, and when the time comes, it will become yellow mud and fall into the crotch of the pants, and it will be either or.
Aunt Mu Xi and Aunt Li had a good relationship with the Guo family, and later the Guo family made a lot of profits with them, and the relationship between them was a little better. Therefore, as soon as they heard bad things about Guo Mianmian and the Guo family, they immediately came to report to the Mu family.
The two know very well that once this kind of bad word spreads, and someone else believes it, it will definitely force people to death. They knew the tension of part-time jobs, and they didn't dare to say it in front of Guo Mianmian, for fear that she would be stimulated and affect the child in her belly, so they found a pinched word to find out Mu's.
"Which one who kills a thousand knives is slandering behind her back, wait for the old lady to find out who she is, see if the old lady doesn't tear up her stinky mouth, and the father and mother who beat her won't recognize her!" After hearing this, Mu's lungs exploded, and he scolded in front of Aunt Mu Xi and Aunt Li.
"Sister-in-law Mu, calm down, now is not the time to get annoyed." Aunt Mu quickly persuaded the Mu family, I am afraid that she will rashly go to find someone who slanders her, and put her part-time job on the table, which makes people laugh at it: "You may hurry up and find a way to suppress these nonsense bad words, otherwise it will be bad one day when it reaches Mianmian's ears." ”
She didn't believe those rumors, she hadn't seen anyone with a better future than most of the Guo family, and the daughter of the Guo family would steal people if she had a hole in her brain. What's more, not only are people's brains not pitted, but they are also very clever, so they won't do such stupid things.
"Yes, sister-in-law Mu, this matter was spread in private temporarily, and it made a big fuss, and your faces were not pleasing to the eyes, and the Zheng family's faces were also unpleasant." Second Aunt Li also knew about Mu's violent character, so she followed Aunt Mu to persuade her.
"Peace of mind, I won't come nonsense." Mu's expression was ugly, and he waved his hand at the two, trying to calm the fire in his heart.
She was angry, and she was not confused by anger. At the moment, it is urgent to suppress the bad words, and then to catch the detractors and block them well.
It's just that this part-time job seems easy, but it's not easy to do, and you can't say that her daughter is bright and clean, and the child is also from the old Zheng family. If you do, few people will believe it.
Aunt Mu Xi saw Mu's embarrassment, she thought about it for a while, and proposed: "Why don't you let your in-laws come over, they don't believe those bad words, and behave closely in front of people, and people outside will naturally not believe it when they see it." ”
When Aunt Li heard this, she thought that this idea was good, and quickly praised it: "This is a good idea, but few people believe it, but it is spread in private, your in-laws are willing to recognize the grandson in the belly, and the person who slanders it is useless to turn the sky upside down." ”
Mu Shi pondered for a while, thinking that this idea was very easy and effective, so he nodded and said, "Ming'er, I will go to Zheng's house, take my in-laws to the house for a reunion dinner, and then let them go back together." ”
Speaking of this, she sighed: "It's also my most of my absence that I have this kind of bad words, I'm afraid that I can't see Mianmian, and deliberately pour dirty water on her, I don't know who is so vicious, it's so annoying!" ”
When Aunt Mu Xi heard this, she hesitated for a moment before asking: "The bad words came from her mother-in-law's side, you can find an opportunity to ask Mianmian if she is to blame, maybe you can find out who it is." ”
"Well, when I go back, I'll ask, if I don't find out this person, who knows if she will do anything to harm my family next time." Mu Shi has this thought, otherwise she is afraid that she will not even be able to sleep.
Aunt Mu Xi and Aunt Li comforted Mu until Mu's mood completely calmed down, and the two went home separately.
Mu stood inside for a while, making sure that he would not let his daughter see the difference, so he raised his feet and returned home, and went to the kitchen to serve a bowl of chicken soup that had been simmered at noon.
"Mother, just finished eating, you really raised me as a pig!" Seeing his mother walking in with a bowl of chicken soup, Guo Mianmian screamed, but had to clean the things on the table so that her mother could put chicken soup.
No wonder Guo Mianmian's reaction is so big, since she returned to her parents' house, she has been drinking chicken soup at both ends for three days, and then fish soup or bone broth. Now that the month is still young, most of these things are eaten by herself, and the child in her belly does not need so many nutrients at all.
In just a few days, she felt like she had gained weight several times. If this continues, she is very suspicious that her belly has not been propped up by the child, and first the layers of fat have swelled her.
"Bah, what are you talking about?" Mu Shi glared at his daughter angrily, and put the chicken soup on the table carefully: "Hurry up and eat it while it's hot, and after eating, go to the yard and sneak around a few times, my mother will block the things in your house, and sleep in the new house tonight." ”
When Guo Mianmian heard this, she knew that she had to drink this bowl of chicken soup if she was not happy to drink it, so she could only take the chopsticks in her mother's hand. Just looking at the chicken soup with a layer of oil flowers floating on her face, her brows wrinkled unconsciously, she was sick to her stomach. It just so happened that she was very well-behaved in her stomach, and she didn't make trouble at all, she was tired of drinking it when she was sick of it.
Mu pretended not to see it, but he didn't urge his daughter again, but just pretended to be casual and said: "Ming'er is the day of the reunion dinner, Ah Rin is afraid that he will not be able to return, and my mother hopes to bring your father-in-law and mother-in-law to eat together." ”
Guo Mianmian thought that her mother was pitiful for her first reunion dinner at her mother's house, and only she would invite her father-in-law and mother-in-law, so she quickly swallowed a small mouthful of chicken soup she had just drunk: "I'm afraid it's impossible, my sister-in-law can also return tomorrow, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law will definitely not be able to leave." ”
When Mu Shi heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he quickly calmed down: "It's okay, our family's reunion dinner is in the next day, let your eldest brother go to Zheng's house to say it later, at that time, your sister-in-law is afraid that she has already gone back, and it will not affect your in-laws to come to our house to eat." ”
Guo Mianmian glanced at her mother suspiciously, and asked, "Mother, why do you have to call your in-laws over for a reunion dinner?" I am not the only one who eats the reunion dinner in our family, there is another branch family, you will be on my side, and the branch side will be put on hold. ”
I didn't expect my daughter to be so sensitive, the corners of Mu's eyes jumped, and she covered up: "Zhi'er goes back to her mother's house for reunion dinner every year, and her mother is no longer fresh to her, you are different, what about the first reunion dinner, my mother doesn't want you to be wronged." ”
Hearing this reason, Guo Mianmian's heart was impressed. It's just that she is impressed, she really wants to report her mother, she is not aggrieved, not at all. But the truth is her mother's heart, she can't bear to be disappointed, so she nodded and said: "Then please, I'll go back with my eldest brother later, I'm afraid that my father-in-law and mother-in-law will not be very effective." ”
Mu Shi was startled, and said hurriedly: "No need, your eldest brother can go alone, you have a body or a woman who stays at home, so as not to bump into it." ”
