The corners of Gu Zhixian's mouth twitched slightly, "I think that kid did it on purpose, he must have seen Tao Pozi go first, so he stuffed the carriage so full." ”

Mrs. Gu was both helpless and moved, "I guess they are worried that I spent too much money to buy Zhuangzi, and the family will not be able to keep up, so they did everything possible to send us food." ”

Speaking of that Zhuangzi, the corners of Gu Zhixian's mouth twitched even more fiercely, "Didn't they also recommend you to buy that Zhuangzi?" If you want me to say that they clearly have a plan, and when they see that I don't take this or that, they think of such a way to help you and me. ”

"I think so too." Mrs. Gu couldn't help but sigh as she spoke, "Although our family's life is much better now than before, compared to the rich squires in this county, it is still one heaven and one underground, not to mention the county lord." I guess those children, they should want to help us live a more prosperous life sooner. ”

After a pause, she added, "Of course, I don't mean to compare myself with others. After all, our foundation is there, and it is already because you are an official that we can have a good life today. I don't just look at the present, and I don't have any bad thoughts just because others are having a better life. ”

Gu Zhixian still doesn't know his wife who has been with him for more than ten years, he threw a reassuring look at Mrs. Gu, "Well, I know all this, I don't blame you." ”

Mrs. Gu smiled slightly, "I'm not afraid that you will anger Mingyue and Jiayan." ”

Gu Zhixian snorted half-truthfully, "If I blame you, then I am indeed angry, but if I blame them, they will not be wronged at all." ”

Mrs. Gu glanced at her with disgust, "People are not kind. If you want me to say, you should change your stubborn temper somewhat in the future. Look at your usual life, as long as you talk about studying, whether it is our eldest family, or a few children of Jiayan and Ming's family, you can blow your beard and stare at the children without two sentences. ”

Gu Zhixian disagreed, "Strict teachers produce high-level apprentices, if they are not strict, they are not allowed to go to the sky." ”

Mrs. Gu stroked her forehead with her hand, and had the heart to say a few more words, and when she saw Gu Zhixian's familiar stubborn appearance of "don't want to change me", she suddenly had another headache.

Too lazy to talk nonsense with this stubborn husband of her own, Mrs. Gu got up directly and went to the backyard to greet her mother-in-law.

Old Madam Gu's health has improved a little recently, and although she can't stand or go out for a long time, she can already help watch her little granddaughters play.

As soon as Mrs. Gu entered the house, the old lady immediately beckoned her to her side, "Why did I hear that the front yard was very lively for a while?" ”

"It's Mingyue's girl, didn't I go to her house for something, she and Jiayan took advantage of me in the house to write a letter, and they loaded a mule cart and asked me to take it back to our house."

Old Madam Gu looked surprised, "Didn't Da Lang (Gu Zhixian) say that he wanted to return it to the Yu family?" ”

Mrs. Gu smiled slightly, "They didn't send anything valuable, they sent rice, flour, oil, meat, vegetables and eggs produced by themselves in their Zhuangzi, and then there were a few boxes of various snacks made by Mingyue herself." ”

Old Madam Gu was stunned, but soon she realized Mingyue and Yu Jiayan's good intentions, "They are afraid that our family will not be able to get the money after buying Zhuangzi." ”

Mrs. Gu nodded, "Originally, my daughter-in-law didn't want to accept it, and our family used to live a tighter life than this, but those two children insisted that I take this car back to the county office." I can't talk about them, and I think that our family and the Ming family and the Yu family are also good families, if I have to refuse even this little kindness of the two children, then they are afraid that they will have to break up with our family in the future. Thinking about it like this, I nodded and agreed to take these things back to the county office. ”

Old Madam Gu patted her hand, "That's what you said." If we shout that we are really relatives with others, but we do things clearly, then how can people believe that we really want to repay the favor, not just talk about it? ”

"As for the favors owed now, let's find a chance to double it in the future." The old lady sat on the kang with a pillow, and looked at the two granddaughters turning the rope there with a smile in her eyebrows, "This person and person, don't you have to have contacts like this, so that you can slowly get out of your true feelings." ”

Mrs. Gu nodded yes, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled.

***

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the old lady's fiftieth birthday has arrived.

Unlike the guests of the banquet on the second day of the second month of February, this time Gu Zhixian actually only invited more than a dozen people from the Ming family and the Yu family to eat and drink at home.

When they first received the invitation, Yu Jiayan and Mingxu were really taken aback, they never expected that Gu Zhixian did not take advantage of his mother's fiftieth birthday to hold a banquet.

By the way, Gu Zhixian's nephew, who brought the invitation to Yu Jiayan and Mingxu, noticed the stunned expressions on the faces of the two for the first time, and he understood what the two were thinking after a little thought.

"My uncle did want to set up more tables at first, but my third grandmother didn't agree." He whispered to Ming Xu and Yu Jiayan about the gossip, "She said that those official wives and rich wives all looked down on her, an old woman who was digging in the soil, and she finally had a birthday, so she didn't let those people come over to block her." ”

Ming Xu and Yu Jiayan were dumbfounded.

Gu Zhixian's nephew said: "My third grandmother also said that on days like the second day of the second month of February, she and my aunt, as the mothers and daughters-in-law of the county magistrates, must help my uncle entertain those people, so she has nothing to say, she will definitely do what she should do, and she will not leave Dapuer and let my uncle be laughed at." But now that it's for her birthday, she doesn't want to see others smiling in her heart and scolding her for being a 'mud leg'. ”

Yu Jiayan pulled out a slightly embarrassed smile, "The old lady is really a straightforward and honest person. ”

Ming Xu also nodded again and again, "And I don't rub sand in my eyes, no wonder I can talk to our grandmother." ”

Yu Jiayan couldn't cry or laugh, "You're not afraid that our grandmother will beat you up." ”

Ming Xu squinted at him, "If you dare to sue, I will go to Mingyue to complain about my grievances." ”

The corners of Yu Jiayan's mouth twitched, "Breath!" ”

Ming Xu snorted twice, he is proud of his sister, and he has the ability Yu Jiayan to try to call his sister-in-law?

Yu Jiayan was too lazy to take care of Mingxu's occasional childish behavior, he put away the invitation, returned to his seat and began to read the book.

Ming Xu touched his nose, and then went back to their respective seats with Gu Zhixian's nephew and began to flip through the books.

It wasn't until they got out of school that the two went home with an invitation to report the news.

Hearing that the Gu family actually only invited the two of them to be guests, Mingyue and all the other Ming family members were all shocked.

Seeing the stunned expressions on their faces that were the same as their own, Ming Xu and Yu Jiayan couldn't help but glance at each other.

Look at it, it's not that they are rare and weird, but the Gu family's troubles are really unexpected.
