Chapter 318: Surprise
The taproot of the ginseng is very thick, the thickness of a household rolling pin, and the roots are crowded all over the body, covering the entire wooden box.
This mountain ginseng was very unexpected, it was just in the summer, Zheng Rin took the fat group to hunt in the mountains, and the fat group chased a roe deer and ran away. As a result, the roe deer did not catch up, but slipped under a hillside with an inappropriate attitude.
The hillside is not majestic, but the fat mass is too big, and it took the boss to climb it up. Zheng Rin realized that something was wrong, followed the mark to find the fat group, and when he planned to rescue it, he found this incomparably large mountain ginseng on the slope.
It took Zheng Rin a lot of effort to dig out the mountain ginseng completely. Seeing that the ginseng was so big, he himself was startled, and when he went down the mountain, he hid, and when he got home, no one said anything, only handed the ginseng to Guo Mianmian and asked her to dispose of it.
Guo Mianmian has encountered a few mountain ginseng, but it is the first time to encounter such a big one, not to mention six hundred years, and it is enough to pass it on from generation to generation as an heirloom that can hang his life.
Therefore, Guo Mianmian quietly concocted the ginseng and treasured it in a wooden box for emergencies. I thought I wouldn't use it in a short time, but I didn't expect to use it as a chip this time.
The Fang family has a big business, and they will not fall in love with this six-hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, which is a very precious thing that Guo Mianmian can take out, if the Fang family refuses to get rid of it, she can only find a way to avenge the six poor children for the heavens, and it is a big deal to go to Fucheng to ask for Kunkun's uncle.
Thinking of Feng Lun, who was a little strange when she saw herself, Guo Mianmian's brows wrinkled unconsciously, and after a long time, she let out a long sigh, and a faint sadness crossed her eyes.
Early the next morning, he wanted to go to the county seat to buy something, so he handed over the tangyuan to Meng Shi to take care of. Before going out, she squeezed the milk into a bowl so that the rice balls could be drunk when they were hungry. If she didn't have something serious to do this time, she would have brought Tang Yuan'er with her.
Worried about the delay on the road and returning at night, Guo Mianmian drove an ox cart to Guo's house and called his two elder brothers. In this way, it can be regarded as a night road, and personal safety is also guaranteed.
Recently, the sky was getting colder and colder, and Guo Shu and Guo Lin had nothing to do, so they agreed without saying a word after listening to Guo Mianmian's request.
However, Mu Shi said dissatisfiedly: "What things can't be bought in the town, you have to go to the county seat, this time and again is a day, you will put down the rice balls!" ”
Without waiting for Guo Mianmian to speak, Guo honestly persuaded with a good personality: "Mianmian let her granddaughter go to the county seat, there must be something important to do, don't complain, let her go back quickly!" ”
Guo Mianmian also hurriedly said: "Mother, my father is right, there is indeed something important to do!" Rest assured, I will return as soon as possible and will not starve your granddaughter! ”
"Hmph, it's okay to let your father and daughter say it, what else can I say?" Mu glanced at the father and daughter, and had to tell Guo Mianmian's brothers and sisters a few words, and then let them leave.
Guo Shu was in the car, Guo Mianmian and Guo Lin sat in the car and chatted with each other, but Guo Lin looked a little careless, looking at Guo Mianmian from time to time, and stopped talking.
Guo Mianmian hid her bitterness in her heart, and she didn't notice the difference between her second brother at first, until the ox cart jolted violently, which made her withdraw from her thoughts, and she met the gaze of her second brother Ai Ai.
"Second brother, we are brothers and sisters, if you have anything, just say it directly, so hold it in your heart and want to say it but don't want to say it, you are not tired!" Guo Mianmian guessed that his second brother was going to say something very nervous, so he couldn't help but urge.
When Guo Lin heard this, he swayed more and more, his face and ears were a little red, and his eyes glanced away, not daring to meet Guo Mianmian's eyes.
With such an angry little wife-like attitude, Guo Mianmian almost laughed out loud when she saw it, but this time she didn't supervise, and waited patiently for the second brother to speak.
Seeing her like this, Guo Lin had the courage instead. He cautiously glanced at the car door and confirmed that the boss who was driving the car would not suddenly park and enter, so he leaned over to his sister and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Didn't you say that Rinto find a doctor for my brother before, there has been no news for more than a year, so my brother wants to ask the truth about this and what the environment is." ”
I'm afraid that my sister-in-law wants to be crooked, Guo Lin quickly replied: "Brother's body is good, your second sister-in-law is good, that is, the two of us are getting older and older year by year, and Zao'er is ten years old, if you don't work hard to take care of your body, I'm afraid that I won't have time to add you a nephew in the future!" ”
Like the vast majority of men today, Guo Lin always thought that he couldn't straighten his waist without his son to support the genre. This is not a patriarchal thinking, the innocence of the environment is so that he can't help but think about it. Truth: In the future, when a daughter marries into her in-law's family, she also needs a brother's support.
Guo Mianmian understood his second brother's desire to have a son, so he said what he knew: "The doctor that Brother Rin found for you is far away in the capital, and he found someone to carry the letter last year, and it happened that the doctor went elsewhere to find medicine and did not return in a row. Brother Rin asked someone to find a doctor, but those doctors thought we were quiet here, and they didn't like people from all over the world to come. I was afraid that you would be disappointed, so I didn't report it to you. ”
What Guo Mianmian said was half-true, the doctor who was found at the beginning did go out to look for medicine and had not returned, and the rest of the doctors shook their heads and refused to come after hearing about the causes and symptoms of Guo Lin's infertility, for fear that the treatment would not be good.
Worried that his second brother would fail in his beliefs, Guo Mianmian did not tell the truth, but just deduced that Lu Yaohong's husband refused to come. Besides, the doctor will return sooner or later, and he will definitely be able to find a way to ask the doctor to treat his second brother, and telling the truth will only add to the disturbance.
Guo Lin didn't know that he had been deceived by his own sister-in-law, and when he saw her guilty, he hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, the second brother is not in a hurry at this time, even if the doctor doesn't see it well, I am also satisfied with Zao'er's daughter, it's a big deal to recruit her a half-door-to-door son, and the child born has our surname, and I'm not afraid that Zao'er will be bullied by my in-laws." ”
If it was in the past, Guo Lin would not say anything redundant. Now, the premise of the family is good, there is a steady stream of fixed belongings to increase the family's income, and it is not difficult to recruit a half-child who can hold it.
His second brother could think about it, Guo Mianmian was also happy for him, and said with a smile: "It's the same for boys and girls, even if there is only one daughter in this life, I am also satisfied." ”
"Cut, you have another Kunkun, Ah Rin is good to Kunkun, Kunkun will be born in the future, will he leave you?" Guo Lin only thought that his sister-in-law said that he couldn't have a son with his brother-in-law, and he didn't think that Kunkun's nephew was not his sister's flesh and blood.
Guo Mianmian reacted and almost bit the tip of his tongue. Seeing that the second brother didn't question anything, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said a little unnaturally: "Kunkun doesn't have the surname Zheng, and I don't know what it will be like in the future." ”
There is always a feeling in her heart that Kun Kun will leave her, and as Kun Kun grows up day by day, this feeling becomes more and more, and she only hopes that she thinks too much.
Guo Lin comforted: "Seven-year-old looks old, Kunkun, this kid knows that he is a good boy just by looking at his face, and he respects you and Ah Rin, not to mention, before Tang Yuan'er was born, I was still worried that Kun Kun had thoughts, you see, he is more concerned about Tang Yuan'er than you, a mother, this child can't be wrong!" ”
As he spoke, his face showed a little regret: "When you just returned with Kunkun, your second sister-in-law and I thought about passing on Kunkun to the name, and then those things happened, and your second sister-in-law and I revoked this idea, and you didn't believe it, at that time I really wanted to raise Kunkun as my own son." ”
When Guo Mianmian heard this, his thoughts returned to the days when he first went home, and he couldn't help but smile a little on his face: "Fortunately, you didn't speak, otherwise I wouldn't know how to refuse." ”
She pretended to be Kun Kun's mother, and she was a little careful, if she succeeded Kun Kun out again, I was afraid that Feng Lun would be able to kill her later.
Guo Lin didn't know the sister's concerns, and complained: "I am your brother, I am Kunkun's uncle, Kunkun has become my son, I can still treat him badly, don't let him support you!" ”
Guo Mianmian didn't know how to answer, so she had to pretend to smile embarrassedly and silently intercept the topic.
The brother and sister chatted like this, but they didn't think it was boring, and they arrived in the city unconsciously.
After entering the city, Guo Lin, who knew the way, replaced Guo Shu and drove the carriage straight to the outside of Fangfu's mansion. Guo Mianmian came from the carriage with a wooden box, told his two brothers to wait in a restaurant on the street, and knocked on the door of the Fang family.
Guo Mianmian saved the ancient tree of the Fang family's town house, and he was a guest of the Fang family. As soon as the doorman saw her, he respectfully led the people to the guest hall in the front yard, and told the rest of the people to go to the back house to invite the master over.
Fang He came quickly, the two of them had a little entertainment, Guo Mianmian went straight to the topic, and pushed the wooden box on the tea table to Fang He: "Master Fang, this ginseng was obtained by me unintentionally, thinking that Master Fang is about to be effective, I came here today and brought it together." ”
A flash of surprise flashed in Fang He's eyes, he glanced at Guo Mianmian, and after a little hesitation, he didn't even open the box, and pushed it to Guo Mianmian: "No merit, what does Madam mean by this?" ”
The two knew each other because of the ancient locust tree, and the two Guo Fang had business dealings, and there was also a Feng Lun in the center, so the two families had some etiquette exchanges during the New Year's holidays. If the day was special, Fang He would accept it, but it happened that it was not a day, so he couldn't help but question it.
Guo Mianmian sighed quietly, knowing that Fang He would not accept this mountain ginseng if he didn't tell the truth, so he said it to the letter.
Seeing Fang He's look of surprise and incomprehension, Guo Mianmian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of Master Fang's jokes, as soon as I heard that a five-year-old child was spicy, I couldn't help but think of my infant daughter. ”
Fang He is a father and also has a young daughter, at this time, after listening to Guo Mianmian's words, he couldn't help but put himself in the shoes of the father and mother of the immature child who died in vain, and also felt sorry for the little girl who had died. He nodded understandingly, and asked, "The woman's advantage is that the old man can find out the real culprit and seek justice for the child?" ”
I didn't get home until half past ten after working overtime, I didn't even insist on dinner, I didn't talk about my back pain, and my head was about to explode, it seems that I am really old! The number of words owed today will be made up on the weekend, and the company is really busy and has taken the geometric transaction.
"Ye'er, you're finally here, can you finish your part-time job?" In the restaurant, Guo Lin, who drank three pots of tea and ran to the toilet several times, saw that the girl had returned, showing a pompous expression, I don't know what I thought!
"It's done!" Guo Mianmian took a sip of the tea in the cup to ease the dryness in his throat.
When Guo Lin heard this, he glanced at his sister-in-law, and asked suspiciously: "You came all the way to find Master Fang, did you encounter anything difficult?" ”
Guo Shu on the side also looked sad and wanted to hear the answer from his sister's mouth. Before coming, the brothers asked, and were sent away by Guo Mianmian with a few words.
"It's just a trivial matter, I've already made it clear to Master Fang, you don't have to worry." Guo Mianmian didn't want to tell the truth, so she covered her stomach and changed the topic: "Let's order food and eat, I'm almost hungry." ”
