Chapter 25: Stand Up
The Gu family has broken up.
No, to be precise, Gu Wencheng's three rooms were divided.
The Li family agreed to divide five acres of dry land in Xiliang and three acres of paddy fields in Beitan to Sanfang.
The clansmen of the Gu family did not agree, the Gu family now has 30 acres of dry land and 40 acres of paddy fields, most of which are the industries that Gu Junhua purchased before his death.
Li had no choice, so he promised to give eight taels of silver and some food, and in the future, she didn't have to worry about Gu Wencheng's life, old age, sickness and death.
But the tax of 30 acres of land that has been hanging on Gu Jiayu in recent years is still hanging on him.
The weather on the day of the separation was particularly good, with a cloudless blue sky.
Gu Yunzhen and Liu's hung corn on the corn rack in the yard, and Aunt Sanyang came to the door with Gu Meimei.
"There's some meat in here, and some of my own vegetables," Aunt Sanyo said to the Liu family with a smile, "to celebrate your separation." ”
She is a straight-tempered person, and she has long been tired of seeing Li bullying people like this.
So, this one is well divided.
It's just too much of a loss.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Liu said gratefully.
"What's polite between us," Hao handed her the corn in his hand, "If it weren't for the third child of your family, Sanyo would have frozen to death in the mountains that year." ”
The sky fell on their family.
"It's been a long time," Liu said with a smile, and said, "If you don't come, I'll tell the girl to invite you over later." ”
"I discussed it with the third brother, and it will be good for the elders of the clan and you to be able to separate the family this time," Liu touched Gu Yunzhen's head and said, "This girl is lucky, she got a rabbit back when she went out yesterday." ”
"We are thinking about making a meal and inviting the big guys over for a meal, which is not very rich, but also a heart."
"That's how it should be." Hao said.
Liu's cooking skills are good, and Hao not only brought some meat, but also eggs, potatoes, beans and some cabbage.
She didn't leave any left, according to what Gu Yunzhen said, after putting some oil to stir the meat out of the fragrance, she put potatoes and beans to stew it fragrant and rotten.
The rabbit is still stir-fried with red peppers.
When Li was waiting for someone to arrive, the courtyard was filled with the smell of rice, which was very attractive.
The patriarch didn't come, and he guess he was embarrassed to come.
He is not a Zongzi, the previous patriarch died unexpectedly, he used some means to get this temporary position, and the Gu clan's Zongzi will hand over the position of patriarch when he is an adult.
He was biased towards the Li family and others, firstly, because of the relationship between his in-laws, and secondly, because he also received benefits from the Li family. In addition, Gu Wencheng never said anything, so he turned a blind eye.
But he didn't expect that the honest Gu Wencheng was also quite scary, although the elders in the clan didn't say anything, they were actually dissatisfied with him.
Come here for dinner again?
He didn't want to be abused.
After the family is separated, Gu Wencheng's complexion is also much better, although his legs are still inconvenient, it is still okay to sit down and entertain people.
Liu took the children and Hao to eat in the kitchen.
Gu Yunzhen looked at the meat in the bowl, squinted and took a bite, it was really delicious.
When chopping vegetables, she took advantage of Liu's inattention to secretly get some meat out of the space, afraid that Liu's would see it and didn't dare to get more, but the rabbit was taken out of the space by her, and it was very fat.
But I still have to hurry up and make money.
In the next few days, Gu Yunzhen and Liu began to dig corn stalks in the five acres of dry land in Xiliang.
Five acres of land is also a lot of work for the mother and daughter.
Cut down the corn stalks that had been erected one by one, tie them into small bundles, and pull them out of the field and bring them back to their homes.
In the past two days, the autumn tiger has come again, and he is covered in sweat after a little movement.
Who knew that the next day, Gu Jiayu, who was originally in the academy, came back, and he didn't say anything about the separation, but just glanced at his sister lightly.
Gu Yunzhen, "......"
Somewhat inexplicable.
"Dad, don't worry," Gu Jiayu said, "I'm not afraid, nothing is more important than you." ”
Gu Wencheng nodded with satisfaction.
In the next few days, Gu Jiayu became the main force of the family, and the corn stalks of the five acres of land were finally taken back with the joint efforts of the mothers and placed vertically in the backyard.
The sun is good, and it will all be dried and received in the firewood room in a few days.
After Gu Sanyang finished plowing his own land, he rushed to the ox cart and ploughed the Gu family's land again.
After cleaning up the cornfield, I will then get three acres of rice in the North Beach paddy field, although it is hot these days, but the weather is good, and the rice is almost in the sun.
"Son, let's go back quickly." Liu looked at the tanned Gu Jiayu distressedly, "Let's get the rest of the rice slowly, this weather is good......"
"Mother," Gu Jiayu took a sip of water, it was good to go home, the water at home was very sweet, "I'm fine, take advantage of the good weather these days, and harvest the rice together." ”
"If it rains in a few days, this will be our family's food for next year."
Seeing that the Liu family was going to be sad again, Gu Jiayu said with a smile, "The homework in the academy can't be pulled down, and my son knows it." ”
When Gu Yunzhen came back from outside with a basket, he happened to see this scene.
"Mother, my sister is amazing." Gu Yunlan jumped in excitedly and ran in, "Sister got a pheasant today." ”
"Pheasant?"
"That's right," Gu Yunlan giggled, "That pheasant is so stupid, my sister hasn't caught up with it yet, it fell into the pit and died." ”
"My real sister is really amazing." Liu looked at her lovingly and said.
She is now used to Gu Yunzhen, who goes out every once in a while to get some game and comes back.
At first, I thought it was lucky, but after many times, I naturally knew that it was not easy.
When I saw the cocoon on Gu Yunzhen's hand again, my heart was even more uncomfortable.
"Sister is so good, she can make traps, there are two rabbits in the trap today," Gu Yunlan said with a chirp, "Mother, can you make rabbits to eat at night?" ”
These days, peeling corn, digging corn stalks, and drying corn are very busy, and she is so greedy for the spicy rabbit made by her mother.
The injuries on Gu Yunlan's face have been recuperated for these days, and they have long recovered.
The tooth that was lost was originally a loose baby tooth that was about to be withdrawn, but it was knocked out by Li's slap, and now he has a small gap when he speaks.
"Done." Liu said with a smile.
Gu Jiayu looked at Gu Yunzhen's back and pondered for a while.
"If there is no real sister at home, I don't know if I can survive," Liu Shi looked at him and said with a smile, "True sister is also sensible now, you ...... what happened in the past"
"I know." Gu Jiayu interrupted her.
Ryu looked at the way he looked, and finally sighed and patted him on the shoulder.
"Daddy!"
In the room, Gu Yunlan's happy voice came, "Daddy! ”
"You can stand up!"
When Gu Yunzhen came in, he saw Gu Wencheng standing in front of the kang, with one hand gently on Gu Yunlan's hand.
Liu covered her mouth and cried.
Gu Jiayu hugged Gu Jiaxuan, and when she came in, the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
