Chapter 43: It's All the Rabbit's Fault
Gu Qiao listened to his son's resolute words, and a complicated taste crept into his heart. When his son was born, he was also full of anticipation and joy. This smart, clever and affectionate son, he has also been hurting for seven years.
When my son was young, he was closest to him. likes to hold his legs and softly call him "Daddy"; likes to greet him the moment he enters the door and let him hold him high; I like to get tired of being by his side, and I thump his back and legs diligently......
When did his son stop kissing him? It seems that after returning to Qingshan Village, he often quarreled with the Miao family and lost his temper at every turn. The look in his son's eyes was less intimate and more afraid. completely became rusty, after he married Liu and entered the door. Liu beat the child behind his back and withheld the child's rations, he knew it. But what did he do? Pretend not to know and ignore it.
Later, Liu threw away Gu Ye, and he didn't stop it. Go to the town and sell the girl, and he's got involved...... The son's eyes became more and more strange when he looked at him, and his son's heart was pushed farther and farther away by him......
Liu's doesn't care so much! It is impossible to ask for two hundred taels of silver today! With these five taels of silver, it's better than going home empty-handed! She stepped forward, snatched the silver, and pulled her man to leave.
But he was stopped by the old patriarch: "Slow! Since you have received this money, it is equivalent to buying out all the affection and relationship with the two children! In that case, let's write a piece of paper to disassociate the relationship. I'll be a witness to the village chief! ”
The patriarch asked Li Hao to run and call Gu San, who had the highest level of literature in the village, and asked him to ghostwrite a letter of severance of relationship, saying that Gu Qiao and the Liu family accepted Gu Xiao's five taels of silver, and completely broke off the affection with Gu Ming and Gu Ye's two children. From then on, there was no relationship between them. If you disobey, you will be expelled from the clan and the village!
The documents were in triplicate, signed by both parties, and fingerprints were pressed. The old patriarch and the village chief also signed their names as witnesses. Each of them held one copy of the paperwork, and the other was placed with the old patriarch.
Gu Qiao came out of the fifth uncle's house in a daze, holding the document in his hand. From now on, his son has nothing to do with him. For five taels of silver, he sold his son and his flesh and blood affection!
"It's unlucky! I thought I could make a big profit, but who knew that I would get such a little silver! After entering the door, Liu complained dissatisfiedly, "This sister-in-law Wu is really good, and she doesn't inquire clearly." What one hundred and sixty taels of silver, those are all old goods of the divine doctor, and they have nothing to do with that dead girl!! And you, don't say anything. You are the father of the child, and if you open your mouth, you may be able to ask for more money to come back......"
Before Liu's words fell, a slap landed on her face. She was stunned for a moment, looked at Gu Qiao and asked puzzledly, "What are you hitting me for?" Am I wrong? ”
"It's you!! What a bad idea you have...... Okay now, my son is not mine, he has nothing to do with me at all, are you happy? I'll kill you, a dead star, and your mind is full of money, money, money! Why don't you sell your son for money to buy meat to satisfy your hunger? Gu Qiao's eyes were bloodshot, his face was hideous, and he punched and kicked Liu with his head and face. The beating made Liu cry and howl.
"Why can you blame me? It's your good sons and daughters, relying on themselves to make money, and I'm afraid that you, a poor father, will drag you down, so you will come up with this document to sever the relationship. How did it become mine, didn't it? Yes, I want to get some more money from the old lame man! But who am I for? Isn't it for our little strong? Didn't you also object?? Why is it all mine now, isn't it? Liu sat on the ground, protecting his head and face, crying and trying to justify.
"Gu Qiao! Is there only one son in your heart? Our little Zhuang is not your son? Your good son gave him money with his own hands, saying that it has nothing to do with you anymore. Maybe he doesn't want to recognize you as a father for a long time. You still remember a little bit of flesh and blood! ”
Seeing that the slaps that fell on him were gradually decreasing, Liu raised his head, wiped a handful of snot and tears, and continued to shirk his responsibility.
Gu Qiao is just looking for a scapegoat to bear all the blame. Hearing this, the only trace of nostalgia and family affection in his heart completely disappeared. He muttered:
"Yes, it was Ming'er who cut off the father-son friendship between us personally! Haha, it's really my good son, this is not yet developed, so it's useless to dislike his father! It's okay if it's broken, such an ungrateful person is also a white-eyed wolf when he is raised. ”
"Yes, yes! You still have Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Zhuang will honor you when he grows up! Liu Shi hurriedly got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his body, and retreated to the door, "I'll go and find Xiaozhuang to come back, so as not to go crazy with a group of fart children and bump into it?" ”
With that, she ran out of the door, as if a vicious dog was chasing her behind her. That fat body actually ran faster than a rabbit!
The courtyard was quiet, leaving only Gu Qiao standing alone. After a long time, he sighed heavily, turned and went into the house. Oh, yes! In the future, he will only have one son, Xiao Zhuang!
Compared with the bleakness and bleakness of Gu Qiao's house, Gu Xiao's courtyard was very lively.
"The village chief, the second brother, the brothers, no one is allowed to leave at noon today. I still have a bottle of good wine, my precious granddaughter honors me, let's try it together! Gu Xiao carefully put away the paperwork and warmly asked a few brothers to stay for dinner.
The village chief, the patriarch and several clan elders couldn't shirk it, so they stayed. The village chief said to his grandson: "Go, go home and get some radishes, cabbage and potatoes as side dishes." Fifth Brother Gu, don't stop me. There are no good things at home, these are all grown in their own fields. ”
The old patriarch also spoke: "Fifth brother, you came back late and missed the time to plant winter vegetables. What can I do if I don't have food this winter? Later, let a few of your nephews bring you some, there are many crops at home, and you can't eat them all......"
Several clan elders also said that there were many winter vegetables at home, and they wanted to send some to Gu Xiao and them. above
The next time Gu Jialiang hunted the wild boar and didn't finish it, he gave them a few families, and each family also had five catties of meat. The children in the family have not tasted meat for a long time, and these catties of wild boar meat have completely satisfied their families.
And today, the thank you gift from the Ding family, fifty or sixty catties of fine pork, Gu Xiao's own family only kept ten catties, and the rest was also distributed among their brothers. In their hearts, the fifth brother left a good impression on them as a heroic person and generous. Recognized by them, Gu Xiao and the two children will be more popular in the village in the future.
Gu Ye went to ask Sister Li to help, and made several hard dishes such as "braised pork", "stewed potatoes with pork ribs", "stewed vermicelli with pork" and "back to the pot meat". The old guys of the grandfather's generation in the yard were full of oil and praise.
However, Gu Ye was very dissatisfied. In her previous life, she belonged to the list of culinary idiots. In this life, although I can cook some home-cooked food, I only stay at the level of being able to eat, and I am still far from being "delicious".
The dish of "braised pork" was memorized by her through the books in the space and found a "Practical Recipe". She also followed the recipe and strictly followed it step by step. However, the taste she made was still a big step away from the taste she had tasted in her previous life.
In the previous life, anyone who knew about the "genius pharmacist" Mr. Night knew it. Mr. Night, in addition to loving money, loves food even more. A dish that satisfies her may be exchanged for a life-saving potion. Those top chefs before the troubled times are all working hard, trying to make delicious food that Mr. Night appreciates, in exchange for elixirs that are hard to find.
In this life, the conditions were not allowed before, and now the craftsmanship is not allowed. In this Qingshan Village, most families have too low requirements for food, and they can satisfy their stomachs, so where will anyone take the trouble to think about cooking?
Gu Ye's disappointment and loss were all seen in the eyes of her master, Yao Sheng. He took it all to heart.
This meal, almost ate the ten catties of pork left by the Gu family. Li Hao, who stayed with his grandfather to eat, said that he had never eaten such delicious and enjoyable meat dishes in his life. He even jokingly said that if Gu Ye was his sister, then he would be able to eat such delicious dishes every day.
It's no wonder that the seasoning of their dishes is only salt and miso. Gu Ye cooks, adding various spices such as star anise, cinnamon, as well as spices such as five-spice powder, monosodium glutamate, and chicken essence. Nature is superior in taste.
was so angry that Gu Ming, the crazy demon who protected his sister, almost fought with him - robbed his sister and looked for abuse!
After eating the pork, Gu Xiao went up the mountain from time to time to hunt some small game and came back, but the meat and vegetables at home were not broken.
As the temperature got lower and lower, Gu Ye found that his grandfather seemed to be preoccupied. One day, when she was rubbing medicinal oil massage on her grandfather, Gu Xiao sighed and said, "Xiao Ye'er, you say ...... If I ask the Medicine Saint to buy this medicinal oil, will he sell it to me? ”
Gu Ye then remembered that his grandfather had said that he would send medicinal oil to his old boss who was far away on the frontier. She patted her chest and said, "Grandpa, why don't you open your mouth and wrap it around me!" ”
"Don't, don't! Last time, you didn't ask your master, so you privately agreed to sell Ding Dashao's heart-saving pills, which is inappropriate. Now, how could he trouble the old man of the Medicine Saint again? ”
The granddaughter was taken in as a disciple by the medicine saint, and the disciple couldn't share the master's worries, and she always caused trouble for his old man. Gu Xiao was afraid that the Medicine Saint would anger his granddaughter because of this, so the matter of medicinal oil and hot compress salt bags was delayed.
"Grandpa, don't you treat me as a granddaughter?" Gu Ye puffed out his cheeks and widened his eyes, like a cute little hamster.
Gu Xiao saw it and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Which little conscienceless person said this?" You are not my Gu Xiao's granddaughter, whose granddaughter can it be? ”
"Grandpa has something, and granddaughter does it. If you treat me as a granddaughter, don't say so many kind words! Wait, my master still has several bottles of this medicinal oil, see if I go and help you get back!" Gu Ye wrapped the hot salt around his grandfather's knees, turned around and walked out of the house.
