Chapter 61: A Heart for Goodness
I heard that for the sake of his son, He Fu's father tightened his hand holding the cane.
The son is the hope of their family. Intellectually speaking, he is incapable, and his wife is not as ingenious and meticulous as the old lady, and the old lady is indeed the most suitable candidate. It's just that looking at the white-haired old lady, emotionally, it's really unacceptable.
He Funiang gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Fu, let's go to the city." ”
Mrs. He looked at her and smiled, but did not speak. He Fu's original nervous mood also amused her, he not only laughed, but also sarcastically mocked his daughter-in-law: "With your craft, you can't enter the other courtyard, how can Miss Gu take you back to the city?" ”
He Funiang's maiden family is even poorer, but she has a flexible brain, can carry it clearly, and is diligent and willing to work, and has many advantages. The shortcomings are also obvious, you can't do fine things. Sticky needle embroidery, she is not as good as a man; With a knife to cook, she is not as good as her eleven-year-old son. Because of her strength, the three acres that the He family has only saved in the past two years are planted by herself.
Seeing her mother-in-law and husband laughing at her cooking skills at the same time, she said confidently, "Why are you laughing? When the rice is cooked, you can fill your stomach. ”
"That's you, not Miss Gu." Mrs. He already had an idea in her heart, and the family came to discuss, but after going through the process, after saying this, the old man made a final decision, "Okay, I'll go and review the girl, what should you do." ”
He Funiang had to persuade again, and asked He Fu's father to hold it, only to hear him sigh, and said, "Don't fight." You just wait for the day my mother's house comes, go into the city to pick her up, and push the cart with her. You're young and good-looking, I don't feel at ease when I ask you to go out. ”
"Nonsense again! Brother Fu is so old, where am I young? ”
He Funiang said angrily, but she didn't fight with Mrs. He anymore.
After listening to the answer he expected, Gu Yao said to Mrs. He: "Mother-in-law has agreed, we will spend more days together in the future, and I will not be outside." I remember Brother Fu's study, but I have to wait for my father to come and talk to him. ”
Let's say that Gu Zhixian accidentally took an ox cart and felt the difficulties of the people at the bottom, and then when he went back and forth between the courtyard and the back office, he put on a Confucian costume that was not new for a while, pretended to be a poor talent, and went to the city to do work for others.
Poor people's homes, a slap in the face of bathing times a year. exquisite, take advantage of the warmth in the summer, but often freshen up; There are also those who are not exquisite, sitting next to you with a sweaty smell, and the smell is really not as good as squatting in the pit.
On this day, Gu Yao finally waited for Gu Zhixian, smelled the smell on his body from a distance, covered his nose and asked, "Where did the strange smell on Daddy's body come from?" ”
Gu Zhixian sniffed for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't smell it." ”
Fang told him about the ox cart, Gu Yao's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Daddy is very kind." ”
Gu Zhixian smiled innocently.
Gu Yao originally only planned to ask for a master for Brother Fu, but seeing that his father was concerned about the people's livelihood, he changed his mind, because he said: "Although Ruanjiazhuang is not big, there are now more than 100 families. There are a lot of school-age children, and wouldn't it be better for my father to invite a master to come over and take some money to build a school? ”
This is a matter for the benefit of the people, and Gu Zhixian responded. Coincidentally, when I returned to the city, I happened to meet a real poor talent.
Xiucai's surname is Chu, and he is a member of two stores. Because the two stores have a school, they are full of talents, and there is also a person surnamed Zhou. Chu Xiucai's family has an old mother who is lying on the couch all the year round, and this Xiucai is not good at management, and his life is quite poor. To this day, Chu Xiucai has not been in school for two years.
Hearing him say that he hadn't been in school for two years, Gu Zhixian Qi said: "Then how do you remember the content of these four books and five classics?" ”
Chu Xiucai blushed and said: "Doing ox carts back and forth, Xiaosheng has nothing to do, so he picked up the book that he didn't remember and memorized it a few times." One is to pass the time, and the other is to be able to lag behind classmates a little bit of homework. ”
Gu Zhixian reported his identity at this time, and said to him: "If you are willing to go to Ruanjiazhuang to be a master, you can read books, and I will build three tiled houses to live with your family." The Gu family lived in Zhuangzi for half a year, and the doctor was always available, so it was convenient for your mother to see her illness. ”
The knowledge of the county is equivalent to the existence of the principal, Chu Xiucai was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
After two decisions, when Gu Zhixian went to Ruanjiazhuang again, he talked to Li Zheng, and Li Zheng directly pointed to a piece of land with six points to build a house with him. The Gu family is rich, and this house is naturally built quickly. When the tiled school was completed, the Song family's house was still being finished.
He Pozi didn't expect that because she begged, Ruanjiazhuang would have one more school.
The day before Brother Fu went to the school, Mrs. He deliberately took leave, touched a fat old hen, a big rooster, and entertained the Song family.
At the dinner table, Mrs. He sighed and said, "Miss Gu is really a good person. I just told her and asked her to take the time to teach Brother Fu a few words. I didn't think that the girl would be able to come out of the whole school, now, Brother Fu can not only be literate, but maybe he can also take the exam before coming back. Having said that, if it's not the girl Begonia, how does Miss Gu know which old woman is? ”
Although Song Erlang didn't go, he learned about it from his nephew, and he was very aggrieved, called Song Haitang, and reprimanded him with a head and face: "You can find a job for outsiders, why don't you find a job for me first?" I have taken a fancy to that kid from the He family, are you in a hurry to marry him? ”
Song Haitang frowned and said angrily: "What is this called!" Although I have the credit for this, it is also Miss Gu who knew about the He family's grandmother first, and it was she who handed me the message, so I said it. You are such a big person, Grandma He said that, you still can't understand the kind words? As for Daddy's injured leg, don't know, can the Gu family not know? ”
Touching his legs, which were already able to walk slowly, Song Erlang sighed: "You hurt me......"
Seeing him like this, the corners of Song Haitang's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes were full of disdain. Knowing that you are such a father, I might as well ignore you. As for the job, if there is a suitable one, it will not be your turn.
Song Erlang didn't know that he had offended the cheap girl, so he was still thinking about the Gu family, because he said to Song Haitang: "I don't need you at home, you go to the Gu family and see if you can do something." Don't do anything, the Gu family's things are so delicious, it's good for you to take some back and eat them. ”
Song Haitang was willing to go to the Gu family to find an opportunity, but he didn't think about licking his face to take advantage. After a long time, Fang reluctantly left under the urging of Song Erlang.
Leaning on the elm tree in front of the door, Song Haitang looked up at the sky and tried to digest bad emotions.
She can work hard wholeheartedly regardless of her efforts, but she can't stand her family back. Now in this family, although the mother is a little weaker, she is obedient and diligent, and the first sister and the other sister are fine; only to dump my grandmother and uncle's family, but I was glued up again; Finally, there is the cheap dad.
Originally, this biological father was lying on the kang, both honest and responsible, and always said that he was useless, and made his daughter hard. Now that I think about it, I just feel that this life is hopeless, so I toss it by myself; Now that his legs and feet are slowly recovering, his true nature is gradually revealed, he is ignorant and insatiable, and he does not allow others to refute his words. Just communicating with him, you can abolish all the blue, which is more nerve-wracking than making money.
You have to think of a way to make money, but you can't let them know, Song Haitang quickly calculated.
As for depression and grievance, it is all done by people who have money and leisure, and people like her who work hard don't have that idle time.
