Gu Yao complained meaningfully, and when he saw that Song Haitang seemed to be moved, he thought that she wanted to recommend her mother to be a cook, but she was embarrassed to say it, so she took the initiative to ask, "What do you think?" It's okay to have the right person to push it. ”

Song Haitang smiled: "There really is." Speaking of this person, the girl also knows that the mother-in-law He who was in charge of cooking in Gu's house before, she is also from Ruanjiazhuang, and she lives in the first house in the east of my alley. ”

When Le Yan heard about Granny He, she immediately said excitedly: "Girl, Granny He's cooking is delicious, better than what I and the slave maid make." ”

Gu Yao let out an "oh", turned, and said, "In that case, take me to take a look." ”

Song Haitang really led Gu Yao to He's house.

Mrs. He was rubbing the straw rope with her son who had broken his leg in the courtyard, and when she saw Song Haitang coming in with a group of little girls, she smiled happily and hurriedly asked a few people to sit down. When he saw Le Yan again, he smiled and asked, "Why are you here?" Have you learned the rules? Your sister Hanxiang, but she still controls you strictly? ”

Han Xiang glared at Le Yan with a gloomy face, and Le Yan's neck shrank and was stunned. Han Xiang pursed her lips disdainfully, with a kind and lovely smile, and said to Mrs. He: "Mother-in-law, don't listen to this girl's nonsense, I call her the rules." ”

Mrs. He suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "You are Miss Hanxiang?" It's really nice and crisp, it's a good one. You are all here, presumably, this kind little girl is the girl of the Gu family? Hello girl, the old woman was in the city for the first half a month, and she didn't meet the girl once, but she was at home for a few days, but she saw the girl, it's fate. ”

"What kind of fate is this?" Gu Yao pointed at Song Haitang and said, "It was she who mentioned her mother-in-law, so we came." ”

After hearing the reasons of several people, Mrs. He looked at Gu Yao, who had just reached her shoulder, and asked, "Can the girl be the master of this matter?" ”

"Naturally. If you can't do it, you won't come back to your mother-in-law. ”

Mrs. He said a few words to her son, got up and followed Gu Yao. Before entering the house, Gu Yao called Steward Zhou, told him the origins of several people, and pointed to Mrs. He and said: "I am picky, I like the food cooked by this mother-in-law, and I am going to ask her to cook for me for a few days." When I return to the city, she will either go with me or send her home, which has nothing to do with the Zhang family. ”

Steward Zhou had a wry smile on his face and said, "What the girl said is that the old man will arrange it." ”

The Zhang family is the daughter-in-law of Zhou's brother-in-law, and Gu Yao knew about this relationship, so he didn't pick up anyone. Although it is irrelevant, after all, sharing a kitchen also involves a lot. It's only been two days, and the Zhang family, relying on the relatives of Steward Zhou, came to Gu Yao and said bad things about He Pozi: "The girl doesn't know, the He family is unknown." ”

muttered for a while, and revealed the life experience of He Pozi.

Mrs. He is a child daughter-in-law bought by the He family, and her husband is fifteen years older than her. At the age of fourteen, he gave birth to a son, and at the age of sixteen, his husband died. Mrs. He became a widow in her best years, and it was not difficult to remarry. But if she remarries, how will her son get it? Mrs. He gritted her teeth and admitted it.

I stayed up like this, and I stayed up until my daughter-in-law came in the door. As the days came to an end, disaster came. After Mrs. He's daughter-in-law gave birth to He Fu, she suffered a postpartum hemorrhage. The old doctor in the next village couldn't save him, so his son borrowed a donkey cart from the neighbor's house to find the doctor, and was hit into the river by a speeding horse on the way.

Mrs. He sold her land and borrowed the entire Zhuangzi to save the lives of her son and daughter-in-law. In order to repay her debts, Mrs. He went to Haizihe Wharf in the spring, summer and autumn to work as a porter, and went to the city in winter to do work for people.

It turned out that Mrs. He, who looked to be 60 years old, was only 45 years old this year.

Gu Yao called Mrs. He, said a few words about what she had just heard, and then said with admiration: "Mother-in-law is amazing, others will definitely not be able to do it." ”

The Zhang family was dumbfounded, but Mrs. He said indifferently: "It's nothing, the day is coming, there is nothing that can't go on." ”

Gu Yao and Song Haitang couldn't help but have pantothenic acid in their eyes.

Her current life is something she could never have dreamed of. What else can you do if it really happens?

The Zhang family said disdainfully: "Where is it powerful, just choose the wrong way." If you have to keep this widow, can you not be sinned? ”

almost said that Mrs. He was looking for herself, Gu Yao was annoyed, put away her tears, and said in a thick nasal voice: "What Mom said is that if you choose the wrong one, won't you be offended?" ”

When the Zhang family heard this, it didn't taste right, and they were busy in the kitchen, smearing oil on the soles of their feet and slipping away.

Gu Yao appeased Mrs. He here, because she said: "I think my mother-in-law did the right thing." What is your home, why did you leave? ”

When Mrs. He heard this, she grinned, and her smile was simple and honest.

From six to sixteen years old, He Gui has been with her for ten years since she can remember. For her, the He family is her home, and she is not only a widow, but also her home.

I heard that Mrs. He had a grandson, and Gu Yao asked her to come and play for a while.

When He Fu came to the door, Gu Yao was practicing calligraphy.

A forty-five-year-old woman is good to have a grandson, why is her grandson still so old? Gu Yao looked at He Fu, who was taller than himself, and burst into tears.

For He Fu, who is eleven this year, the gift Gu Yao prepared before was no longer suitable, and it was not easy to keep him to play, so he only sent some pen, ink, paper and inkstone at random and sent people away.

He Fu held the four treasures of the study and asked Mrs. He: "Milk, can I study?" ”

Mrs. He pursed her lips and thought solemnly. Seeing that she was embarrassed, He Fu reluctantly laughed and said, "Milk, I'll just ask, I don't want to study." ”

Mrs. He has passed the age of tears, and she knows that tears are useless at all. But when I heard my grandson's words, my heart was sour, and I almost cried. In the evening, while Gu Yao was in the kitchen, Mrs. He begged her: "Girl, can you teach my grandson to recognize a few words?" ”

"Huh? Brother Fu wants to study? ”

"Yes."

"It's a good thing, but I can't teach it." When Mrs. He was disappointed, Gu Yao said again, "I'll talk to my father and ask him to think about it." ”

Mrs. He was overjoyed and wanted to kowtow to Gu Yao, so she stopped her, only to hear her: "Mother-in-law is not in a hurry, I have something to say to my mother-in-law." ”

In the past few days, every time Gu Yao says a proposal, Mrs. He can make seventy or eighty percent of the taste, and Gu Yao has been moving her heart for a long time, because she said: "I want to take my mother-in-law into the city, and I will pay you four hundred dollars a month, is my mother-in-law willing?" ”

The salary was directly doubled, and Mrs. He immediately went home to discuss with her son and daughter-in-law: "Miss Gu said, I can take one day off in ten days, that is, I will work on the ninth day, and the family will come for one day." I think I should, first, I can make an extra 200 yuan, and second, I plan to push the whole cart, push some pots and pans, and get a grocery store, so that Brother Fu can watch, he has something to do, and the family can also make more entries. ”

Thinking of the picture of the old lady pushing a wheelbarrow and walking twenty or thirty miles on foot, He Fu's father said that he should not say anything.

He Pozi said: "Brother Fu wants to enter the school. While my old bones can still move, I will be busy for a few years, and I will be done when Brother Fu is older. At that time, you wanted me to do something, but I wouldn't. ”

For decades, Mrs. He has relied on one belief after another to survive step by step.
