Gu Jinli said: "Your brother may think that the county seat is better and want to spend the winter solstice in the county seat." ”

As soon as Luo Huiniang heard this mocking words, she knew that Gu Jinli was angry, and hurriedly said: "Xiaoyu, don't be angry, my brother must have been delayed by business." ”

I felt that this dry word had been said for three months in a row, and it was very insincere, and I added: "Don't worry, my eldest brother will definitely come back tonight." ”

Gu Jinli said: "Let's talk about it in the evening, anyway, my family has already done its best." ”

Luo Huiniang almost cried, she always thought that Sister Xiu'er would become her sister-in-law, and her family also built a courtyard when building the house, which had a spacious embroidery room, which was prepared for Sister Xiu'er.

But things have become like this, how did they become like this?

Gu Jinli didn't want to embarrass Luo Huiniang, looked around, and after not seeing Luo's father and Chu's family, he asked, "Where is your father?" ”

Luo Huiniang said: "Sister Xiu'er made a padded jacket for my mother, and your mother led her to try the jacket." My dad was in the kitchen with the whole lamb, and this year he had two sheep, and my dad bought one lamb too. ”

may be because of guilt, the Luo family brought a lot of things to eat this time, and bought a live sheep, and Luo's father was killing it.

Gu Jinli looked behind him, saw Qin Sanlang coming over, and said to him: "Little Brother Qin, your mutton is well done, go to the kitchen to help Uncle Luo prepare the mutton." ”

"Okay." Qin Sanlang nodded, went to the kitchen from the corridor on the right, saw that Father Luo was cleaning the killed mutton, and said to him, "I'll come." ”

He said again: "Uncle Dashan is back, Brother Luo Wu is not back." ”

Father Luo shook his hands when he heard this, and sighed: "Da Lin, you and San Lang get it first, and I'll come later." ”

"Eh, Brother Tiezhu, go get busy first." Gu Dalin came back from the county seat yesterday, and before coming back, he went to the county government to ask Brother Wu when he would come back? Brother Wu said that he must return today, why didn't he come back?

The matter of Brother Dashan's family and Brother Tiezhu's family, their families all know that they have always felt that the two families must get married, how do they know that the children of the two families are so old, and they still haven't decided on the family affairs.

Father Luo had already washed his hands, put on the padded jacket he had taken off, and went to the Gu family's livestock shed.

Gu Dashan was unloading the mule cart, and Father Luo came over to help, and after the two separated the mule cart from the mule, one put the mule cart and the other tied the mule.

"Dashan, don't worry about it, it's not our family, if that kid doesn't come back today, I'll go to the county seat and drag him back, and I want to beat and scold your family." Luo's father was also worried, he asked Luo Wu, why didn't he let the family go to the Gu family to propose, the kid only said that the house in the county town had not been done yet, let him wait.

What are you waiting, the Chu family finally let go, and if you wait any longer, the two families will have a feud.

But that kid is very stubborn, just like when he wanted to marry Sister Xiu'er, this time he didn't let his family go to the Gu family to propose marriage.

Gu Dashan didn't want Father Luo to be embarrassed, so he said with a wry smile: "Second Brother Luo, don't say that, Brother Wu grew up under my watch, and he is a good posterity, he must have delayed going home because he had an errand in the county." Let's spend the winter solstice first, maybe he'll be back in a moment. ”

Gu Dashan was able to marry the Cui family and register the Cui family, all thanks to the help of the Luo family. When escaping from the famine, I met many wicked people on the road, all of whom were helped by the Luo family's father and son. Every time the team fleeing from the famine rested, Hui Niang came to guard Sister Xiu'er and Brother Cheng.

The good of the Luo family, Gu Dashan has always kept it in his heart, and he doesn't want to have a grudge with the Luo family because of the marriage of his children.

Father Luo became more and more guilty when he heard this, and he could only work hard to make up for it.

……

Gu Jinli took Luo Huiniang back to the courtyard where she lived to change clothes, and after changing clothes, she went to the main house next door.

The sisters live in the left and right wings of this courtyard, and the main room is shared, Gu Jinxiu will do embroidery here, and she will settle accounts and take a nap here.

"Eldest sister, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?" As soon as Gu Jinli entered the room, he asked Gu Jinxiu.

Gu Jinxiu came back to her senses and said, "There are bean curd, roasted tofu, and roasted chestnuts, which were made by Hui Niang and Xiaohua at noon, and they left a lot for you, you can eat it." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the courtyard gate, and listened to the sound outside.

Gu Jinli was very distressed when he saw it, thought about it, and simply said, "Eldest sister, Brother Luo Wu didn't come back." ”

After hearing this, Gu Jinxiu's eyes turned red uncontrollably, and she quickly smiled: "It is estimated that there is an errand delayed." ”

Gu Jinli snorted coldly: "Maybe." ”

Luo Huiniang hurriedly said: "What Sister Xiu'er said is that my brother has already said that he will definitely come back on the day of the winter solstice, and he will buy us some new silk flowers to come back." ”

Gu Jinli: "The silk flowers made by my eldest sister are much better than those sold in the county, so you don't need your brother to buy them." ”

Luo Huiniang glared at Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, don't speak." ”

Gu Jinli hummed, leaning on a soft couch in the main room and eating roasted chestnuts...... Brother Qin is not here, she has to peel chestnuts by herself, which is really annoying.

"Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji, are you back? Come and help me peel the chestnuts. ”

Cheng Ge'er heard this as soon as he walked into the yard, and said to Gu Jinli: "Second sister, you are so lazy, you have to find someone to peel a chestnut even if you eat it." ”

Tian Xiaohua came in with Gui Niu and Jin Niu, and immediately said, "Sister Xiaoyu, I'll peel it for you." ”

Tian Xiaohua admires Gu Jinli the most, as long as Gu Jinli speaks, she is willing to help Gu Jinli do anything, and after taking Gui Niu and Jin Niu into the main room, she began to peel chestnuts.

"Gui Niu also helped Sister Xiaoyu peel chestnuts." Gui Niu is six years old, and she looks very cute Yuxue, and I heard the third grandmother say that she looks like Xie, and she looks good.

Gu Jinli tugged at the two little tugs on her head: "Gui Niu is so good." ”

Jin Niu protected Gui Niu's hair and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, don't pull Gui Niu's hair, it's hard to tie it up." ”

Jin Niu is the daughter of Yan and Gu Damu, is Gui Niu's cousin, she has taken Gui Niu since she was a child, and now the two sisters live in the same room, and they have to comb Gui Niu's hair every morning. Because her hair is difficult to comb, Jin Niu protects Gui Niu's hair as if she is protecting silver.

Gu Jinli withdrew her itchy hand, picked up the spoon and ate bean curd, and looked at Gu Jinxiu next to her, although she kept her head down, Gu Jinli still saw her red eyes.

Gu Jinli said to Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, your brother Sanlang is roasting mutton, you take Guiniu and them to rub some meat to eat." ”

"Okay." Tian Xiaohua listened to Gu Jinli the most, and immediately ran away with Jin Niu and Gui Niu.

Gu Jinli's eyes rolled: "Gu Jincheng, this is the girl's house, don't stay here all the time, hurry up, the eldest brother is preparing gifts for Mr. Ouyang and the Zheng family, you go and help." ”

Brother Cheng took a look at his second sister, and when he saw her expression, she would be finished if you didn't leave, and immediately slipped away.

Sister Li is a smart person, and when she saw this, she also pulled Luo Huiniang out of the main room, and carefully closed the door.

Gu Jinxiu's hand holding the embroidery needle trembled a little, and she didn't dare to look at Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli walked over, squatted next to her, and asked her, "Eldest sister, if your marriage with Brother Luo Wu fails, don't be too sad." ”

Gu Jinxiu held back her tears and asked, "Is it really not possible?" ”

He also said: "I'm not squeamish, I can work, I used to go to the field often in my hometown, although the life has been better in the past few years than I haven't been in the field, but I still remember how to do farm work." ”

Gu Jinli frowned: "Eldest sister, our family is different from before, no matter who you marry in the future, you don't have to farm again...... It's not a question of whether to farm or not, whether to be squeamish or not, it's a question of Luo Wu not wanting to marry you, do you understand? ”

Gu Jinxiu didn't believe that Luo Wu didn't want to marry her, she shook her head and said: "Brother Luo Wu is very good to me, he has protected me since he was a child, in order to prevent me from being beaten, he was beaten by our milk and was covered in injuries; On the way to escape from the wilderness, there was a wicked man who wanted to beat our woman, and it was he and Uncle Luo who helped our family drive the wicked away again and again; He'll buy me things as soon as he makes a fortune......"

Gu Jinli listened to Gu Jinxiu count Luo Wu's goodness, and he was helpless, so he could only smile and say: "I just want the eldest sister to be mentally prepared, as for whether it can be done, it's too early to say it now, it's not dark yet, maybe Luo Wu will come back." ”

After hearing this, Gu Jinxiu pulled out a smile and continued to bow her head to do embroidery.

After a while, she suddenly said: "I am already used to Brother Luo Wu, I am used to the Luo family, if I marry someone else's family, I will have no bottom in my heart." "Will be scared.

Only Luo Wuge is the one who makes her feel that she has something to rely on in her heart.
