Chapter 3 It's not bad to have a sister-in-law
After planting peppers, Wang Guiying found pigweed in the field again.
Since the field is divided into households, each household can raise chickens and pigs, and the Gu family also raised a pig, so naturally there is no food for the pigs to eat, so they can only go outside to cut pigweed, sometimes add a little sweet potato vine and rice bran, but also feed the pigs.
At the end of the year, you can save some money by selling the pigs.
Guo Xiang asked Wang Guiying which pigweed was, carefully identified the pigweed in the basket, immediately wrote it down, and also helped to find it, Wang Guiying was very satisfied to see her so diligent.
When I got home, I helped chop the pigweed, put it in a basket, and then put it in a pot and cook it for the pigs.
At noon, it suddenly rained heavily, Wang Guiying picked up an oil-paper umbrella, "Xiangxiang, you look at the house, I'll go and send an umbrella to Guo'er, she will definitely not be able to come back after such a heavy rain." ”
Guo Xiang looked at the pouring rain outside, thinking about the mud on the road, and didn't know what to become at this time.
"Mother, let's go, you're at home, I'll pick up the fruit." Guo Xiang stood up, Wang Guiying is not young, the rain is so heavy, what if she falls? The old man didn't fall.
"That's fine!" Wang Guiying was very happy to see her daughter-in-law taking the initiative, handed the oil-paper umbrella in her hand to Guo Xiang, and saw that she was wearing cloth shoes on her feet, and she would definitely step on the mud later.
"Wait, change into rain boots and go, the road is very bad!" Wang Guiying said as she took out the rain boots she was wearing from the utility room where the farm tools were placed and handed them to Guo Xiang, "Put them on!" ”
"Thank you, mother!" Guo Xiang nodded, in fact, she didn't care, although her family background was good in her previous life, she was not a hypocritical person, just come back and wash.
But since it is the kindness of the old man, it is natural to appreciate it.
changed into rain boots and walked to Gu Guoer's school with an umbrella.
On the way, they were all parents who went to pick up their children, and they walked all the way, and the road became more and more rotten. Some people walk with their heels on the ground, and their pants are full of speckled mud marks.
Walking to the school, because of the heavy rain, the child did not wait at the school gate, Guo Xiang followed the other parents into the school only to realize that he forgot to ask Gu Guoer what grade he was in.
Just as he was hesitating, he saw Gu Guoer standing under the eaves in front of the classroom door and watching the rain helplessly.
"Guo'er, will your family send you an umbrella later?" A little fat man beside Gu Guo'er asked.
"I don't know!" Gu Guo'er replied angrily, her mother is so busy, there is only one fool at home, and she hasn't given her a good face in the morning, so it's strange that she will give her an umbrella.
"Then my mother will come later, let's go together!" The little fat man said again.
Gu Guo'er was noncommittal, there was really no way but to do this.
Just as he was thinking about a familiar face appearing in front of him, "Guo'er! Guo Xiang waved his hand at Gu Guo'er and shouted loudly.
Gu Guo'er opened her mouth wide in surprise, she didn't expect Guo Xiang to come to pick her up.
"Guo'er, who is this? It's so good-looking! The little fat man curiously poked Gu Guo'er with his elbow.
"She's ......," Gu Guo'er pursed her lips and reluctantly said that she was her sister-in-law.
"She can't be your sister-in-law, right? Isn't your sister-in-law a fool? The little fat man's eyes widened. He also knew that Gu Guoer's brother had just married his daughter-in-law, who else could there be if it wasn't her sister-in-law?
"You're a fool, your whole family is a fool!" Gu Guo'er was unhappy all of a sudden, and the fool could only say it himself, why did others call his sister-in-law a fool?
Guo Xiang laughed out loud, this bear child still knows how to defend herself, of course, she may not be protecting herself, but just her family, and she can barely be regarded as her family now.
Suddenly I felt a little warm in my heart.
"Little classmate, hello, I'm Guo'er's sister-in-law, my name is Guo Xiang!" Guo Xiang waved his hand at the little fat man.
"Oh, oh, sister-in-law is so ......" The little fat man's face turned red, and no one had ever taken the initiative to greet him, Guo'er's sister-in-law was really special.
"Who's your sister-in-law?" Gu Guo'er glared at the little fat man.
"I, that ......" the little fat man was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
"Let's go!" Gu Guoer got under Guo Xiang's umbrella, pulled her clothes awkwardly, waved at the little fat man and walked into the rain.
But I was still angry in my heart, I didn't want to get so close to Guo Xiang, and kept a distance from her, Guo Xiang smiled and didn't care about her, and moved the umbrella to her, and half of his shoulders were wet.
Walking out of the school gate, after not taking a few steps, Gu Guo'er suddenly stopped, looking at the front in a daze.
Only then did Guo Xiang notice that Gu Guoer was wearing a brand new pair of sneakers, as if Gu Zhennan had brought her back a few days ago. There was a big puddle in front of it, full of silt, and if you walked past it, the little white shoes would become little black shoes.
"I'll carry you!" Guo Xiang said.
"No, you don't." Gu Guo'er turned her face awkwardly, "I took off my shoes and went barefoot." ”
"It's raining so hard and the temperature is dropping, what should I do if I get cold later?" Guo Xiang walked in front of Gu Guo'er, "Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your mother, if you get sick, your mother has to take care of you and take care of your family, you want to make your mother tired and sick?" ”
Gu Guo'er bit her lip, "Then you won't help your mother?" ”
"I ...... I don't know anything now, and I can't learn well for a while. Guo Xiang's face was a little hot, "I will learn in the future, don't look awkward now, what am I afraid of on your back, I am your sister-in-law, your brother is not at home, I should take care of you!" ”
Gu Guo'er's heart moved, and she looked up at her sister-in-law.
Since the death of her father, the family has been supported by her mother, the eldest brother has been away from home for a long time, and the second brother is studying in the county, she always feels that something is missing from the family, and now she suddenly understands that she is missing a pillar of the family, and now the sister-in-law acts like a family.
"Come on!" Guo Xiang saw that Gu Guo'er was a little moved, and squatted down while the iron was hot, "You come to play the umbrella, hold it tightly, I will definitely not drop you with great strength!" ”
Gu Guoer hesitated, took the umbrella and climbed on Guo Xiang's back, she grew very tall, about 1.7 meters, which is rare in the countryside, and some men are not as tall as her.
Her shoulders were very strong, and her arms were also very strong, and Gu Guo'er suddenly felt very secure.
Maybe it's nice to have a sister-in-law.
Walking through that muddy road, Gu Guoer said that she didn't want Guo Xiang's back anymore, and struggled to slide off her back, Guo Xiang held her hand tightly, looking at her pursing her mouth and puffing out her cheeks, she was secretly funny in her heart.
In her previous life, she was the youngest in the family, had an older brother and an older sister, and now it feels good to have a younger sister.
But thinking of his marriage to Gu Zhennan, it's a bit of a headache, it's difficult to maintain a marriage without feelings, right?
Although people in this era rarely get divorced, how many are truly happy? It's not a fight and a makeshift for a lifetime.
But Guo Xiang didn't want to make do.
You can make do with food and clothes, but you can't make do with marriage, it's going to take a lifetime, and you feel tired when you think about it.
She is an unmarried, she lived for thirty-five years in her previous life and did not get married, and she has no such thoughts in this life.
What's more, if you want a child, you have to have the same room, she can't imagine how she can do it without feelings? She didn't want to be just a fertility tool.
