Chapter 12: The Visitation

In the summer, when the sun sets, the day is still bright after dinner at five o'clock in the afternoon, and the farmers have no pastime in the evening, and this time is the time to gather under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village to enjoy the shade and chat.

In his previous life, Gu Changning would also go to talk to the good little sisters after dinner, and come back when it was almost dark, and then simply clean himself up and go to rest.

Because lamp oil is expensive, even when Gu Shan was there in the past, the oil lamp at home would not be lit all the time, and basically everyone would lie down at night, which could save a lot of lamp oil money.

Reborn in this life, plus the fact that the family has just been in the house for a month, it must take three months to move around the village normally, so she is not looking for boring people to play, but sits very obediently at the door of the main hall of the north house, learning acupuncture with her mother.

Yang Huiyun has been in body for three months at this time, because of her current status as a new widow, it is not good to sell embroidery to the shop, and the shopkeeper will not want it, so she has nothing to do.

At seven o'clock in the evening, when it was getting dark, all the people in the village went home, planted the courtyard gate, and rested.

The village becomes very quiet at this time, and the whole village falls asleep as the villagers fall asleep.

The next day, when Chenxi nodded slightly, Gu Changning woke up, looked at the hour, it was about five o'clock, she hurriedly got up, folded the quilt, put on her clothes and was about to go to the kitchen.

She still remembers that her brother is going to the school today, she wants to fry some side dishes for her brother to take to the school with steamed buns to eat.

However, when she went to the kitchen, she found that her brother and A-Niang were already inside.

"Auntie, why did you get up so early?" As soon as Gu Changning saw that she was also there, he hurriedly went to wash himself first, and then wanted to snatch the vegetables in A-Niang's hand, "Didn't you say that the work will be handed over to us, A-Niang, you put it down and go to rest quickly!" ”

Yang Huiyun hurriedly hid the dishes behind her and said: "A-Niang's body A-Niang knows that it is already well, you don't have to worry so much, I can still do these light and small jobs, besides, I have been staying at home all day, and I have nothing to do, I am really bored." ”

When Gu Changning heard this, he felt that it was right, if A-Niang didn't do anything, it didn't seem to be good to be in a daze from morning to night.

Thinking of this, she didn't go to grab the food in A-Niang's hand, and only told her seriously: "A-Niang can do it, but don't be too tired." ”

"Okay." Yang Huiyun replied with a smile, shook her head helplessly at her daughter's nervousness, and continued to choose the dishes in hand.

Seeing that A-Niang didn't need herself, Gu Changning turned her eyes to her brother on the side to see if she needed to do anything.

As a result, I saw that he was looking at the fire in the stove, the pot was filled with water, and there was a steamer on it, and the drawer cloth in the steamer was full of steamed buns, which were being heated, and his movements were not hurried, and he looked very comfortable.

Gu Changning looked as if he had nothing to do, so he had to go out of the kitchen and sweep the front yard with a broom, sweeping all the fallen leaves of the jujube tree in the front yard, making the yard look much cleaner.

This jujube tree was planted when Gu Shan's family moved to the west after splitting up, and it has been more than ten years, and it only began to bear fruit two years ago, and the number of fruits is also small, and the taste is not good, so they generally don't eat it.

When Gu Shan planted it for the metaphor of giving birth to a noble son early, the tree has been left here, and in the end he was reluctant to cut it down, so he kept it.

Gu Changning took care of the front yard, just after the steamed buns were baked, and the side dishes were fried, Gu Changning's family took the steamed buns and ate the side dishes, Gu Huai'an took the four steamed buns to eat in the school at noon, and went to the school with a bookbag on his back.

When the boy is growing his body, he has to walk so many roads back and forth, and the amount of food is inevitably larger, and this steamed bun is the size of a fist, and it is just enough to eat with four.

Gu Changning originally wanted to decorate him with some side dishes and bring them, but seeing that he was in a hurry, he had to forget it.

As soon as Gu Huai'an left the courtyard gate, Yang Huiyun looked up at the sun, and saw that it had just arrived, and there was still an hour before Mr. went to class, so she felt that Gu Huai'an would go out too early now.

It only takes half an hour to walk from Xinghua Village to the town.

Gu Changning seemed to see her doubts, and said while putting away the dishes and chopsticks: "My brother hasn't been to the school for a month, although there is a reason for it, but it is always a month late, maybe my brother wants to leave a good impression on the master, so he plans to rush to the school early." ”

The students who arrived at the school early were naturally more liked by the master.

When Yang Huiyun heard this, she felt that there was some truth, so she didn't say anything more, turned around and went back to the house to continue making clothes for the unborn child.

According to the habits of the farmers, they are all small and wear old clothes that are worn by the big ones, and there are very few new ones, and one of the reasons is that the farmers do not have so much money to buy fabrics to make new clothes for each child, so they can only save on wearing them in this way.

Originally, Gu Huai'an and Gu Changning also kept their clothes when they were children, but when they got up the house last year, Yang Huiyun sorted out the things at home, and at that time, the house was not built, and there was no place to put many things, so she gave some things that were not needed to others.

Among them are Gu Huai'an and Gu Changning's clothes when they were children, and those clothes were given to those in need in the village, so the clothes of this third child had to be remade.

After Gu Changning cleaned up the kitchen, he picked out the raspberry seeds he ate yesterday and cleaned them, put them in a bowl, and prepared to turn over the soil and sow them later.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a shout from outside the door.

"Changning Niang, Changning Niang-"

The voice was a little familiar, Gu Changning walked to the front yard and opened the door to take a look, and found that it was Aunt Wang from the village.

"It's you, Ning Ning, are you feeling better?" Wang Xiu'e saw that it was Gu Changning who opened the door, and asked a few words with concern, remembering that she hadn't been able to come to visit her these days, and said apologetically, "These days are the time when the farm is busy, Aunt Wang can't leave, so I haven't come to see you, and I don't know if your previous high fever has subsided." ”

"Aunt Wang, don't worry, I will be fine the next day with a high fever." Gu Changning said with a smile, and hurriedly let her go out.

In fact, Gu Changning understands that where is the busy farming, she has been cured for a month, and the farming is not so busy that she can't take a break this month, she knows that it is inconvenient for Aunt Wang to come to the door.

However, she can also understand that their family is doing white things, which is taboo in the eyes of many people in the village, that is, Aunt Wang herself doesn't care, doesn't her mother-in-law's family mind?

Especially Aunt Wang's third brother and sister, she has some impressions that she has married into the family for five years, and she has made a lot of trouble in the family, picking on other concubines everywhere, and Aunt Wang, as a sister-in-law, has to bear more, which is really not good.

"Is your aunt in the house?" After Wang Xiu'e came in, she didn't forget to ask.

"Yes." Gu Changning closed the door and followed Wang Xiu'e to the north room, "A-Niang is making small clothes for my younger brother." ”

"Yo, that's a big congratulations." When Wang Xiu'e heard this, she immediately squinted her eyes and said with a smile.

There is a saying in the farmer's house, the child's eyes are very sharp, and she can see that the pregnant woman is pregnant with a male baby and a female baby, she heard Gu Changning say so sure that it is a younger brother at the moment, and quickly picked up the conversation, as if Yang Huiyun was really a male baby in this womb.

However, Yang Huiyun's fetus is indeed pregnant with a male fetus, and Gu Changning knows it very well in his heart.
