Soon, a woman wearing a sauce-colored coarse cloth collared blouse and blue pants walked in from the courtyard. It's just that there are two big patches on the shirt and pants.

Gu Chengyu looked at the woman in front of her, the woman's face was a little dark, a square face very similar to Gu's father, and her eyes were a little big. It's just that at this time, there is a bit of sadness on his face.

"Big sister!" Gu Chengyu had seen Gu Xi, and Gu Xi would go home every second day of the Chinese New Year, and usually leave after lunch.

Gu Xi didn't say much, even when he came back, he was a little rusty with their little brothers. However, it can be seen that she is still good to her eldest brother and second brother, because she speaks in a completely different tone and attitude towards the big room and the second room, and has a sense of intimacy from the heart.

"Hey! Is Xiaobao writing? I heard that Dad sent you to study in town? Gu Xi saw his little brother writing, and was stunned for a long time, only to remember that he heard some time ago that his father sent Xiaobao to study in the town.

Her feelings for this little brother are undoubtedly complicated. They weren't born to the same mother, so she always felt that she couldn't get close to her younger brother. What's more, the younger brother is especially favored at home, and his father holds him in the palm of his hand.

Gu Xi carefully examined this face, such a good-looking little baby, she had never seen it, it looked like that woman.

I still remember that when she was nine years old, it was the first time she met Lu. At that time, the village said that his father had found a stepmother for them again, and they all entered the house at this time. When she heard this, she panicked, and led her younger brother back from the field with her eldest brother, she kept listening to the people in the village say that the stepmother will not be much better for the baby born by the woman in front of her! Maybe she will beat and scold them, and on the way back, she is also scared.

Dad owed a lot of debts because of his mother's medical treatment, so he had to go to the uncle to introduce him, and he went to work as a partner in the restaurant in Fucheng, and the monthly money for working in Fucheng was more than in the town. The eldest brother was ten years old back then, and he was already able to support a family. Dad will ask someone to bring money back every month, although life is hard, but there is no need to worry.

The family was poor, and I thought that life would go on like this. Who knew that a year later, her father brought back a woman from Fucheng. I still remember the first time I saw Lu, she was stunned, is there really such a good-looking person in this world?

Small face, snow-white and delicate skin, a pair of eyes indescribably good-looking, the clothes on the body don't know what the material is, the color is good-looking, the material is something she has never seen, if it weren't for the woman standing there fixedly, the expression on her face is impatient, she would think that this is a fairy in the sky!

But she saw that the woman was still carrying a bag in her hand, and her father was still holding a small box in his hand. She understood that this woman should be the stepmother brought back by her father.

No matter what she thinks, life still has to be passed. On weekdays, Lu Shi doesn't care about everything, as long as she is served food, she eats, and she doesn't wash the dishes or anything after eating, throws the bowl away, and lies on the kang. Sometimes, she would lose her temper, but her father would let them go, and told them not to make her stepmother angry. In fact, if it were her, she wouldn't be willing to make such a good-looking person angry.

But one day, such a day, suddenly changed. That day, when the queen mother was eating, she suddenly vomited and invited Lang Zhong to come and see. Lang Zhong saw it, but said congratulations, she didn't understand, but seeing her father's happy appearance, she intuitively felt that it was not a good thing for them. Sure enough, her father said that her stepmother was going to give birth to a younger brother for them.

And after that, their days became more and more difficult, because the temper of the stepmother became more and more irritable, and she often scolded them for some trivial things, and even sometimes refused to give them food. From there, Gu Xi began to hate this woman, the Lu family treated them badly, but her father was also like he was not their father, and he was not as good as before to them.

Gu Xi fell into her memories, Gu Chengyu felt curious, why the eldest sister looked at him with complicated eyes, but the person was motionless, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Big sister!" Gu Wan sat on the kang and shouted at Gu Xi. For Gu Xi, Gu Wan's feeling is a little unfamiliar, she just gave birth, Gu Xi got married, and on weekdays, she only saw her once during the New Year.

"Kiko? Why did you come back at this time? "When Daddy Gu saw his eldest daughter, he stepped into the main house, and he looked at Xiaobao and didn't know what he was thinking? Ask out loud now.

"Daddy!" Gu Xi came back to his senses and looked in the direction of Daddy Gu. Immediately, I also saw the Lu family sitting next to Father Gu.

Gu Xi was stunned, and then shouted softly, "Mother! ”

"Hmm!" The Lu family didn't know what to say about this cheap girl, when she got married, Gu Xi was already nine years old, and she was a few years older than Gu Xi.

"Kiko, have you eaten it? Didn't eat and asked your sister-in-law to give you some food? "It takes half an hour to walk from Xialing Village to Shangling Village, and Daddy Gu doesn't know if Gu Xi has eaten it.

"It's not busy! Eaten. Gu Xi waved his hand and said. At this time, there is something hidden in her heart, that is, the big meat is put in front of her, and she has no appetite.

"Eldest sister, why are you back at this time? It's going to be dark, and when you go back, you can see the black lights on the road? Why didn't my brother-in-law come with you? This is Gu Chengyi and his wife who came here, Gu Chengyi heard the eldest brother shouting that the eldest sister was back in the west wing, so he hurriedly put on his shoes and came out.

The Fang clan led the eldest girl and they also followed into the main house.

Gu Xi usually only comes back once during the Chinese New Year, and he never lives one night when he goes home, first, it is not far away, and second, the Gu family has few houses, many people and crowded, and he can't sleep Gu Xi and his wife and two babies. The daughter who married abroad is a guest when she returns to her parents' house, and it is rare to see each other, Gu Chengyi and they still want to be happy.

"There's something going on at home, your brother-in-law is at home! Father! I heard that my family bought land? Gu Xi turned back to Daddy Gu and asked.

"Ahh I bought 55 acres and am preparing to plough the land in the next two days! You're close, and I'll help you look for some in the future. "Daddy Gu thought that some time ago, it had already spread all over Xialing Village, and it was not unusual for the eldest girl to know.

"That land cost a lot of money, right? If you don't say anything, you have to be more than four hundred taels? Did we dig ginseng in the mountains? "Gu Xi still can't believe it, can such a good thing really happen? And let the Gu family run into it?

"Hmmm! The ginseng was seen by Xiaobao and I when we went up the mountain! Your little brother is blessed, our family relied on this ginseng, and also sold it for four or five hundred taels of silver. This is not? Some time ago, I just bought the land, and after a few days, I am still ready to build a house, and you can have time for the whole life of your family, and you may come to help on the day you build the house? "Even if Gu Xi doesn't come today, Daddy Gu also plans to build a house The day before, he went to Gu Xi's house to report a message, building a house is a big deal, daughter and son-in-law, I always have to say it.

"Still building a house? Also, we have a lot of family, and we really can't live in it without building a house. When Gu Xi heard this, he didn't feel strange, the Gu family should have built a house a long time ago, and there was money to buy land, and if he built a few houses, he couldn't miss this money.

Of course, that's because she didn't know that the Gu family was going to build a big brick house, and she had to build two entrances, otherwise, she would definitely be surprised.

"It's this Li'er, when the house is built, you and your son-in-law will bring the baby, and you can live in the house when you go back to your parents' house." Father Gu didn't mention the matter of building a blue brick house at the moment, anyway, he would always know in the future. He guessed that the eldest daughter came back so late, and there was something to do, maybe it had something to do with the forced labor that he was talking about during the day.

Gu Chengyu had already packed up his pen and ink, and he expected that he would definitely not be able to write today, and the eldest sister would definitely go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so she didn't have to think about it, she knew what was going on.
