"Mother, did Lao Zheng Tou beat you last night?" Gu Xinru entered the kitchen, looked around, and did not see Lao Zhengtou's figure, so she asked cautiously and quietly.

Yang held the hand of the soup spoon and took a meal.

"What nonsense? Although he was reluctant to marry me before, he handled the marriage seriously, and gave us both good food and drink, and even covered the quilt when he slept at night, which was made of new cotton, which shows how good he is to me, how can he do it to me? She turned to look at her daughter and said.

"But mother, it's the beginning of spring, why are your necks still so tightly wrapped? Isn't it hot? Gu Xinru also knew this, but she was still a little skeptical.

"It's early in the morning, it's a little cold."

"Mother, are you hiding ......anything from me?"

"Alright, no more! If you have something to eat and drink, you will be content! One more thing, you don't want to eat breakfast today! Dead girl! Don't get in the way here! Hurry up and go! Yang was impatient and scolded her viciously.

Gu Xinru was aggrieved and wanted to justify, but turned her head, but saw Lao Zheng Tou standing outside.

She quickly shut her mouth.

Yang didn't admit it, but at night, her screams came out again and again, and when she woke up the next day, her voice was hoarse, and the corners of her mouth were still injured.

Gu Xinru wanted to ask what was going on, but every time, the Yang family scolded her.

She had to cover her ears every night to prevent the screams from reaching her ears, and she couldn't fall asleep until she was very sleepy.

Half-asleep and half-awake, she was very confused in her heart.

After my mother married Lao Zhengtou, I really don't have to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables every day, but is this really the good day they once thought about?

……

……

Yang got married and took his daughter to start a new life without worrying about food and drink.

The other side.

Gu Baoying's life must also be continued.

Every day, she still goes up to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and herbs, collect dry firewood, and do household chores.

But now that Jiang Chao is helping her, the little kids in the village don't dare to bully her anymore, and follow her all day long, shouting "Sister Baoying, Sister Baoying".

Every time he heard it, Jiang Chao had to knock them on the head and forbade them to call their sister.

Joke.

According to his seniority, he still has to call Gu Baoying a little aunt!

These guys call him brothers and sisters all day long, if he calls Sister Baoying, then wouldn't his rank be the lowest? Don't! Absolutely not!

Everyone felt helpless about his domineering, so they had to follow him and shout Bao Ying.

In this regard, Gu Baoying only felt funny, Jiang Chao, this kid, really didn't learn Uncle Lizheng's cleverness at all, but was like a stupid roe deer!

In the evening of that day, Jiang Zhen carried a few paper bags in his hand and walked to Gu's house again.

As long as he is free at this time, he will come over to take a look.

After all, Baoying's family situation is difficult, the blind mother is a crippled brother, and there is also an injured and amnesiac Zhiyan, she is a little girl who is only ten years old, and she has to be in charge of the house at a young age, he is not at ease.

With a creak, the courtyard door opened.

"Uncle, are you here? I was just going to make dinner, so let's stay for dinner in the evening! Gu Baoying was washing the wild vegetables she had just picked today in the yard, and when she saw someone coming, she had a sweet smile on her little face.

"Okay, Baoying, I bought a few pastries in the county town today, you put down the work in your hand first, and hurry over to taste it." Jiang Zhen said, shaking a few paper bags in his hand.

"Uncle, why are you spending money on things again? Didn't you say you wouldn't buy it last time? ”

"Isn't I, didn't I sell those herbs you gave me last time for a good price?" Jiang Zhen explained.

"Really? How much did it sell? ”

"Five taels of silver, among which there are two herbs, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy said that it is more rare, so I give more."

"Which two?"

"This, I don't remember the name either, I don't know about herbal medicine." Jiang Zhen scratched his head with some embarrassment, and tried to think about it, but he really couldn't remember.

"Okay." Gu Baoying nodded.

Looking at the way he looked, it didn't look like he was lying to her.

She was actually afraid that Uncle Lizheng would say this on purpose, after all, the family still owed him a few taels of silver, and she always said that she wanted to return it to him, but he said no to it every time.

Last time, I lied to her that the herbs were sold, but when I asked, he was full of loopholes.

It seems that this time, it was really sold!

"Uncle, you go into the room and sit down, I'm going to wash this dish soon!" Gu Baoying greeted and lowered her head to wash the vegetables.

Jiang Zhen had no choice but to go into the house.

Xu Shi had already heard the sound of conversation in the courtyard, and then heard the sound of footsteps, so he smiled softly: "Brother Lizheng, don't be so wasteful next time." ”

"It's okay, it's just some snacks, I bought a lot, and I brought them to the Jiang family's big house and three rooms, so I thought I would bring a little bit to you and Baoying too." Jiang Zhen said, placing the paper bag on the table and opening it.

The sweet smell of all kinds of pastries fills the air at once.

"Try this first, osmanthus cake." Jiang Zhen carefully pinched a piece.

"Thank you." Xu didn't dare to shirk in front of him, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand, and the fluffy pastry was gently placed in his palm, and she brought it to her mouth and bit it gently.

The mouth is sweet and fluffy.

"Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." This taste reminds Xu of the osmanthus cake that her mother made for her when she was young.

She couldn't help but show a sincere smile on her face, and her thin and delicate face was like a long-dried flower suddenly rejuvenated, beautiful and soft, and beautiful.

Jiang Zhen was stunned.

This seems to be the first time he has seen Xu smiling so happily?

Thinking of her smile again, it was because he ate the osmanthus cake he bought, and a sense of satisfaction suddenly arose in his heart, so that he couldn't help but show a gentle smile at her.

As soon as Gu Baoying walked over, she saw such a scene.

She paused.

Uncle Lizheng, smiling softly at her mother?

A thought hit her mind in a flash of lightning, making her a little incredulous.

"Uncle, mother." She straightened her thoughts, put the thought down for a moment, and walked into the house.

"Come and taste it, your mother likes to eat it very much." Jiang Zhen hurriedly beckoned Gu Baoying to sit down.

"Oh, I'll go and get a few pieces for my eldest brother and Zhiyan first!" Gu Baoying picked up two pieces of each of these pastries and went to send them to Gu Xian first.

Her figure twisted and disappeared in the small courtyard.

However, in fact, he turned a corner, quietly turned back, and eavesdropped on Jiang Zhen and Xu in the house.

"Bao Ying is really a sensible and good boy!" Jiang Zhen habitually praised.

"Yes, I didn't expect that she would change so much, they all say that she is a mother, but our family is Bao Ying who is sensible first." Speaking of his daughter, Xu also curled the corners of his mouth with a happy and proud look.

"That's what you teach well." Jiang Zhen looked at her and said seriously.

"It's a good ...... taught by her father," Xu couldn't help but show a little gentle and nostalgic look.

However, as soon as the words came out, he realized that it seemed a little inappropriate to mention his husband in front of outsiders, so he stopped his mouth and concentrated on eating the osmanthus cake.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhen didn't speak again.

Outside, after listening to the conversation between the two, Gu Baoying raised her feet and walked towards Gu Xian's room.

She remembered that every time Uncle Lizheng came to the house, he always had to bring something, either to eat or to use, but she thought it was someone else's good.

But when she saw Uncle Lizheng looking at Xu's eyes today, her thoughts changed suddenly.

Should he be, in fact, he has a crush on his mother, right?
