Chapter 19 The Lu family's mother's family comes
When the rented ox cart arrived at Shangling Village, it was already the beginning of the next day.
Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu had already gotten off the ox cart in the town, preparing to take the ox cart back again. Gu Chengyu got out of the ox cart with a large bag of things and baggage brought from the county seat, and gave the toys in the baggage to Gu Wanhua by the way.
Gu Chengyu and Gu's father entered the courtyard, Gu Chengyu wanted to exhale and tell his mother that they were back! But before he could shout, he heard a noise coming from the inner courtyard of the Gu family.
Gu Chengyu asked Father Gu to go in first, and then he hurriedly put the things in his hand in the cubicle of the study first, and rushed to the backyard without tidying up.
"Humph! Peach! We're still your brother and sister-in-law, right? You have such no conscience? In the past few years, you have become a parent, and you don't say that you will come back to see your parents. Your father and mother are still alive! Now that they're not young, they can't think about it, they want to come and see you. We are brothers and sisters-in-law, so we brought two old ones. I didn't expect my mother's family to come, and you didn't even let us drink saliva? ”
One of the shrill sopranos seemed to be about to pierce the sky, and spoke indignantly, as if she had been greatly wronged.
This high-pitched shout had already attracted the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family next door to probe her brain, and she was standing outside the courtyard gate of the Gu family and poking in. The Gu family is now a big family, and the house is in the second place, and she is embarrassed to enter the courtyard of other people's houses at will.
"What did you say back then? said that my Gu family is a poor ghost, and I don't want to go to your door again, but now you still blame me. What you said, you go and ask Dayang Village, who hasn't heard it? Anyone who brings me can testify to me. Don't I want my father? Isn't it because you won't let me go back to see my parents? ”
In the first two years of marriage, the Lu family went back every New Year's holiday, but her brother and sister-in-law disliked her family's poverty, so they always spoke coldly to them, and sometimes made sarcastic remarks. The father and mother want to live in the hands of their son again, although they feel sorry for their daughter, but they are still afraid that their son will be angry, so they no longer care about their old couple, so they have to often persuade their daughter to endure it. The Lu family has always been high-spirited, how can he stand this anger, no, he hasn't been in contact for many years.
Gu Chengyu is a little strange, it is said that everyone has not been in contact for a few years, so naturally they will be fine, why did they come here today?
"Mother! My dad and I are back! Gu Chengyu saw that the Lu family was a little excited, so he stepped forward to appease.
"Is Xiaobao back? Come over and let my mother see if she's lost weight? Sure enough, when the Lu family saw that it was the youngest son who came back, he immediately raised a smile, and it took ten days to go, but he really wanted to kill her.
"Is the little brother back?" Gu Wan was originally standing aside and hating her mother, but when she saw that her little brother was back, she was happily stepping forward to pull Gu Chengyu at this moment.
"Second sister! Three sisters-in-law! What about the third brother, the eldest brother, and the second brother? Gu Chengyu saw that there were only some female dependents standing in the courtyard, so he asked curiously. The fourth brother doesn't need to ask, naturally he is at Li Langzhong's house.
"They went to the fields and haven't come back yet! I'll call them! "This mother-in-law's family is here, but it came suddenly, she hasn't figured out what happened, and her brain is still confused at this time, but this mother-in-law's family doesn't look like a good stubble! Something is wrong!
"Yo! This is my little nephew, right? It's so good-looking! Like a sister-in-law! The poor baby has grown so big, and I don't know your grandfather and grandmother, but I'm your uncle! This is your uncle! I heard that you are still a reader? Where did this come from? ”
Gu Chengyu turned his head and glanced at the woman who was talking, and saw that the woman was about forty years old, and her hair was not very neatly combed, unlike his mother, who would be wet with water when combing her hair, and she would pull her hair into a bun.
The double eyelids, which may have been a little big, have been covered by wrinkles around the eyes at this time, and they look much smaller, and the skin is very rough, I am afraid that they are often exposed to the wind and sun in the fields. Wearing a blue coarse cloth coat with two patches on it, this is an ordinary woman from a farmer's house.
At this time, she was pulling the thin and tall man on the side, the man looked older than Daddy Gu, and she couldn't judge whether he was older than Daddy Gu, because Daddy Gu had eaten well in the past two years and looked young.
The so-called uncle has a Shenzi face, relatively protruding cheekbones, and a thin and thin chin, which may be not eating well, so he looks very thin.
Gu Chengyu glanced at them and didn't speak, they were not good to his mother, his mother was a slave to a big family back then, and it was this uncle who sold it.
In the corner of the inner courtyard stood an old couple, their heads were already covered with silver frost, and their clothes were more torn than the woman just now.
At this time, the two old men were looking up at him, the old woman's eyes were still full of tears, and the two pairs of weathered eyes made Gu Chengyu feel a little unbearable. His mother mentioned her grandfather's family before, and needless to say, my brother and sister-in-law are intolerable. But my grandfather and grandmother are still good to my mother, but they don't have their own opinions, and they follow traditional thinking, so they point to this son to support the elderly, so they dare not speak out.
When the woman saw that Gu Chengyu didn't call her, her face was a little unbearable.
Gu Chengyu also understood that it was just because he saw that his family was doing well, so he thought about coming to the door to knock on a pen, or he also wanted to move this relative around. As for why he didn't come a few years ago, I'm afraid that the craftsman Sun didn't talk much when he went back, right? The Lu family has always thought that the Lu family is not doing well!
There are a lot of people in the Gu clan in Shangling Village, but it is rumored that the Gu family is living a good life, and those who don't know it can't figure out which Gu family it is.
"What kind of aunt are you? What a thick skin! Running here to confess your relatives? Lu Shi felt deeply disgusted with her sister-in-law, when she was not sold, she was bullied by this sister-in-law in her mother's house, and even when she was sold, her sister-in-law picked her up.
Lu Shi scolded back while looking at the corner of the courtyard, this is her father, she hasn't seen them for many years, she didn't expect them to be so old now. The silver frost on her head stung her eyes, and then looked at the thin clothes, and her heart was even more distressed. She hasn't returned to her parents' house for so many years, and she didn't expect her brother and sister-in-law to treat her father and mother like this!
Back then, her father and mother were cowardly, and she still complained about them in her heart. But now that she sees her father and mother so old and thin, even if she has resentment in her heart, it is almost gone!
It's just that this pair of brothers and sisters-in-law, she doesn't intend to forgive.
"Humph! Brother-in-law! My sister is not sensible, don't you understand a man either? I'm your uncle! This breaks bones and tendons, do you want to recognize it if you don't recognize it? Moreover, you don't even care about the two old ones, just enjoy your own blessings, is this reasonable? ”
Lu Yang looked around at the Gu family's courtyard, and as he spoke, his eyes lit up.
