Chapter 16: I Can See
Early the next morning, Gu Chengyu was woken up by the noise outside, it turned out that today was Gu Chengyu's wash San'er. Yesterday, according to Father Gu, he had prepared in advance, and when everyone arrived today, he could start at the right time.
Seeing that Gu Chengyu woke up and no one carried him out, Gu Chengyu looked out the window, the sky was a little bright, but it was not yet dawn, it was estimated that it was not yet time.
Hey? Gu Chengyu was a little surprised? How could he see so clearly? He could see. Originally, I was still vague when I saw things, but now I can see things normally. Oh, not right? There was no light in the room last night, and he could see clearly, could it be that he could still see at night? What a surprise.
Gu Chengyu thought about it carefully, this should be the credit of Lingquan. At that time, there was no reaction to drinking, it may be that the newborn body has not absorbed impurities much, so it is not discharged, and now that it has this benefit, Gu Chengyu feels that Lingquan should have other uses, just wait to find out slowly, and this should be related to his body is a baby, and the absorption is fast and good.
Since the eyes can see things, they will not be idle, so they will naturally look at the furnishings in the room first. This room is an inner room, who should he be on a kang against the wall, with a roof on it, and you can see wooden, thick beams, but the roof is actually covered with grass? It looks pretty thick, but I'm still worried about leaks on rainy days. Gu Chengyu couldn't help but have a new understanding of the Gu family's poverty. If you look at the walls, you should be made of adobe bricks, and when you look sideways, you can see that the ground in front of you is also dirt. On the left side of the kang is a lattice wooden window, and the window should be glued with linen paper, which is thick and thick, and the light is not very transparent, so if it does not rain during the day, the window is usually open.
There is also a cabinet next to the kang bed, the cabinet is a little big, no paint, although the workmanship is not exquisite, and there is no pattern, but the surface of the box is polished and smooth, it can be regarded as a thought, there are no modern tools in ancient times, these are carefully planed out. Maybe it's some clothes, something valuable, because it's locked.
Gu Chengyu remembered that when the Lu family was on the copper plate last night, he also heard the sound of unlocking, and it was estimated that the money was inside.
After observing the furnishings in the house, let's look at the people. Gu Chengyu tilted his head to look at the two women who were talking, he was sleeping next to him, but now it should be his mother Lu Shi who is leaning on the futon pillow, and Gu Chengyu was a little surprised when he saw Lu Shi's appearance clearly. Lu was about thirty years old, wearing a yellowed collared mid-shirt that might have just finished giving birth, and his face was a little pale. But what surprised Gu Chengyu was not these, in this countryside, the Lu family is really good-looking, not at all like a peasant woman, Gu Chengyu, who has seen a lot of modern beauties, has to admit that the Lu family is a great beauty who can't hide her natural beauty without fat powder.
A long black hair is casually coiled in a bun, and a wooden hairpin is on the hairpin, the wooden hairpin texture is ordinary, and there is no carved pattern. The bun is a little loose and messy, which may be due to bed rest, and it is not very neat. The small melon seed face, a pair of crystal peach blossom eyes under the curved willow eyebrows, a small and tall nose, and a diamond-shaped mouth, these beautiful facial features are all put together, and they look even more beautiful when combined. It's a pity that he may not eat well, and he often works, his face is a little sallow, his skin is a little rough, and there are a few fine lines at the end of his eyes, which are a little conspicuous, which reduces such a good appearance by a few points.
In ancient times, women got married early, and at the age of thirty or so, they were considered women of their grandmother's generation, not to mention that if they did not eat well and worked hard for housework, they would be older faster if they wanted to work in the fields, and peasant women were even more reluctant to take money to buy rouge gouache.
After Gu Chengyu's mother, she sighed a little that it was not easy for a woman's life, and turned to look at the woman who was talking opposite the Lu family.
"Old family, this time you are optimistic about the second child's family, there are many people who come today, if she dares to make trouble, you come and tell me, see that I don't rub her hard, but she is the opposite, these two days, while I am not there, I must have stolen food, and I am used to being lazy, and when I am out of confinement, I will clean her up." Gu Lu was really a little worried.
"Hey, mother, it's all ready, can't go wrong." Fang Shi nodded hurriedly, still a little shrunken, and his hand was still nervously rubbing the blue coarse cloth apron on his waist, obviously just coming from the stove.
Gu Chengyu understood that this was the eldest sister-in-law Fang's family. Compared with the Lu family, Gu Fang's is a typical rural peasant woman, with long hair meticulously coiled in a round bun, no jewelry on it, and not even a wooden hairpin. The hair is a little yellow, the face is long, and the complexion is quite dark, which may be the result of working in the fields and drying for a long time. The wrinkles on the face are very obvious, and the facial features are relatively ordinary. He wore a blue coarse cloth collared shirt on his upper body, and no skirt on his lower body, only pants of the same color, and an apron tied around his waist, and there was a small patch and crease of the same color on the shirt. It can be seen that it is such a torn clothes, and it is usually impossible to wear it. Gu Chengyu thought of the cloth and garment factories in the space that passed by the cloth factory and garment factory and received the fabrics and clothes in the space, and they were a little sorry, and they couldn't take them out to wear. Because Gu Fangshi was standing, he could see that he was not short, but he was thin, so thin that a gust of wind could blow him away.
Immediately, Gu Chengyu thought of another question, this Fang family is Gu's mother's daughter-in-law, why does the daughter-in-law look older than her mother-in-law? The Fang clan looked at it in his twenties, and it was impossible according to common sense. Could it be that his mother is naturally beautiful and looks young? Or is it because his mother doesn't work in the fields often? However, there is another possibility that needs to be slowly observed and verified in the future.
"When you go out, call the second family to come in, and don't beat her, I don't worry. By the way, I brought breakfast. Gu Lu thought about it and commanded. Gu Fang's clan took the order and went out.
Lu Shi turned his head and saw that his youngest son had woken up, so he hurriedly picked up Gu Chengyu, prepared to kiss the incense, and nagged to change Gu Chengyu into bright clothes. At this time, Gu Wan ran and jumped in, "Mother, I want to see my brother." ”
"Be careful, don't frighten your brother with a loud voice." Lu Shi hugged her son, watched Gu Wan run in recklessly, ran to the side of the kang, and tiptoed to see the little son in her hand. After saying that, Gu Chengyu carefully placed it on the kang, Gu Wan pouted, unhappy.
"My mother doesn't like me anymore, she only likes my brother." Saying this, he still stepped forward to look at it, and let out a surprised cry, "My brother is so cute, mother, why did my brother turn white?" It's so beautiful. ”
Gu Chengyu looked at the little girl in front of her, about four or five years old, combing her hanging bun, her big round eyes were black and white, her eyes were not like Gu's mother, she looked delicate and cute, she wore a brand-new pink cross-collared muslin narrow-sleeved shirt on her upper body, and she was wearing a bean-green pleated skirt underneath, and a few butterflies and small flowers were embroidered on the collar and hem of the skirt, which made Gu Wan even more delicate and smart.
