Chapter 177: The Situation Is Grim

Su Jiu'er paused, shook her head hurriedly, and replied with a smile, "How is this possible?" ”

Li Yan'er thought about it, but it was the same thing, and smiled with relief, "It's also true, he follows that group of people all day long, and he probably doesn't have time to think about it so much." ”

The two of them said something else, Su Jiu'er saw a strange man carrying a basket of things into Jiang's house, looked at Li Yan'er suspiciously, and asked casually, "Who is that person?" ”

Originally, Li Yan'er had her back to the gate of the Jiang family, and when she heard Su Jiu'er say that, she followed her line of sight and saw a man in green cloth carrying a lot of things into the door of the Jiang family.

"That person is from a neighboring village, and I accidentally saw my sister-in-law, and I fell in love with my sister-in-law at a glance, so I asked the matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage, and the in-laws have already agreed to this family affair, saying that they will marry in July," Li Yan'er said, hurriedly calling the child on the side to her, and explained to Su Jiu'er anxiously, "Sister Jiu'er, there are guests at home, I will go back first." ”

"Then you hurry up and get busy, leave me alone." Su Jiu'er waved her hand at Li Yan'er and lowered her head and walked back.

Su Jiu'er was originally worried about what Jiang Xiaoyu would mean to Gu Feng, but now she felt that she was worried in vain.

On the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Su Jiu'er scooped out a separate portion of the wrapped dumplings in a large bowl, intending to send them to the Su family.

Su Jiu'er snuggled up to Gu Feng's side, and the two of them walked towards the Su family.

The sound of firecrackers on the road came and went, and the front of the house of the person who let off the firecrackers was red, commonly known as a good start.

Even in poor homes, they buy some firecrackers.

The purpose of setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year is to remove the calamities of the old year, and I hope that next year will be a bumper year.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on the earth, illuminating the whole village as if it were day.

Su Jiu'er held Gu Feng's arm with one hand, and carried a basket with the other, the basket was covered with a layer of cage cloth, and under the cloth was a large bowl, and the bowl was full of dumplings.

Stepping on the red firecrackers, the corners of Su Jiu'er's lips were hooked, she still likes to spend the New Year in the village, and she can experience the taste of the New Year here.

At this hour, the door of every house was opened, and two Luo lanterns were placed at the door, which illuminated the road.

After turning a corner, and after taking a few steps, Su Jiu'er saw that Zhao was bending down to light the radish lamp at the door.

"Mother." Su Jiu'er pulled Gu Feng forward, smiled and handed the basket in his hand to Zhao's face, "Happy New Year." ”

"Mother-in-law."

Gu Feng called out lightly.

Zhao Shi stood up straight, wiped his hand on the knee cover in front of him, and took the basket in Su Jiu'er's hand a little uncomfortably, "This is ......"

"We made dumplings relatively early, and we wanted to give you a share." Su Jiu'er said with a smile, "What about Dad and Xiao Mu?" ”

"He's making dumplings, come in too!" Zhao owed a debt and hurriedly beckoned the two of them in.

"Nope." Su Jiu'er shook her head with a smile and said, "There are two children at home, and when we came, Mama was helping them wash, and there was no radish lamp at home!" ”

Zhao sent the two of them to the door, looked at Gu Feng hesitantly, and after a long time, he didn't say a word of apology.

She is an elder and has long been accustomed to doing her own thing.

Leaving the Su family, Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er hurriedly walked towards home.

A gust of wind blew, and the radish lamps at the doors of each house shook slightly, like stars twinkling at night.

When she returned home, Su Jiu'er saw Mama Zhu cutting a radish, which was almost half a finger high, and a little pit was dug in the middle, and the cotton strips that had been soaked in oil were placed in the middle.

Lighting the cotton strips, Gu Feng brought the two radish lamps to the gate, and when he came back, he looked at the radish lamps on the table and placed them at the doors of each room, and then stopped.

Seeing that it was almost midnight, Su Jiu'er hurriedly took out the firecrackers and placed them on the ground outside the gate in an orderly manner.

Gu Feng saw Su Jiu'er and Mama Zhu hiding in the courtyard, his eyes were dyed with a little smile, he stepped forward and lit firecrackers, and walked quickly towards the house.

The crackling sound shook his ears uncomfortable, Su Jiu'er leaned on Gu Feng's arms, raised his eyes to look at him, and saw that he was looking at those firecrackers, slowly closed his eyes, and secretly made a wish in his heart.

She wished that he could live a simple and happy life in this life, and she was willing to shield him from all the calamities and misfortunes that had happened to him.

A warm touch came from her forehead, and Su Jiu'er slowly opened her eyes and met Gu Feng's gentle and doting eyes.

"Sleepy?"

It's really incomprehensible, Su Jiu'er thought so in her heart, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter, "I'm a little sleepy." ”

After midnight, everyone was busy washing up and going to bed to rest.

After the New Year, winter goes to spring, and winter snow melts is the coldest time.

Su Jiu'er stood next to the bed, afraid that Yang Yang would fall down when he climbed the bed.

Gu Feng took out the mat and futon that he had not used before, spread the mat on the ground, and spread two futons on it, which allowed Su Jiu'er to put Yangyang on the bed.

The five- and six-year-old baby is when he rolls over and crawls, and Yangyang climbs very fast, and Mama Zhu has to keep an eye on him all the time.

Su Jiu'er sat on a chair on the side and embroidered, watching Yangyang crawling around, and couldn't help laughing.

Gu Feng added some firewood to the stove, then washed his hands, sat on the bench on the side, and said with emotion, "He is not afraid of the cold." ”

"This house is so warm, he must not be cold." Su Jiu'er looked at Mama Zhu on the side and asked curiously, "Mama, when will this child speak?" ”

"Xiao Si didn't speak until nine months old, and I heard that some children can speak at six months, so it's hard to say." Mama Zhu said, looking at Yang Yang who was crawling on the ground, seeing that he was about to climb to the ground, she hurriedly picked him back and let him continue to climb, "I also taught the little boy to learn to speak, but he has been silent, but he can understand the words now." ”

"Yangyang, come here." As soon as Su Jiu'er heard what Mama Zhu said, she hurriedly put the embroidery work in her hand on the table aside, squatted down, and clapped her hands at Yangyang, "Come here, mother hug you!" ”

Yang Yang turned his head to look at Su Jiu'er, tilted his little head and thought about it, and then quickly crawled towards Su Jiu'er.

Can you really understand her words, Su Jiu'er imprinted a kiss on Yangyang's forehead with joy, listened to his giggles, and then put him on the bed.

There was a knock at the door.

Gu Feng got up and walked towards the door, opened the door, and when he saw General Wang, the expression on his face instantly relaxed, "Senior brother." ”

"I was too busy during the Chinese New Year, and I didn't have time to see you." General Wang handed the burden in his hand to Gu Feng, "I can only come over after the New Year." ”

"Knows you're busy." Gu Feng obediently took over the burden from General Wang's hands and hurriedly invited General Wang in.

"Jiu'er, senior brother is here." Gu Feng was worried that Su Jiu'er would be frightened if he was not prepared, so he shouted at the kitchen when he was at the courtyard gate.

General Wang was the only one who was called Senior Brother by Gu Feng, Su Jiu'er hurriedly straightened up, raised his hand to straighten his clothes, and straightened his hair.

The door of the "squeak" kitchen opened, Gu Feng and General Wang entered the room, Su Jiu'er hurriedly pointed to the bench on the side, and his tone trembled a little, "General Wang, please take a seat." ”

When General Wang heard Su Jiu'er say that, he smiled mildly and said, "Brother and sister, it's strange to call me General Wang, and in the future, you will follow Gu Feng and call me Senior Brother." ”

Su Jiu'er glanced at Gu Feng with a tilt of his head, and seeing that Gu Feng did not object, he hurriedly smiled and said yes.

Mama Zhu stood aside with her head bowed and saluted General Wang, "Good general." ”

"You don't need to call me General, I'm just here to see my little nephew today." General Wang stared intently at Yang Yang on the futon with a pair of eyes, and leaned down to pick Yang Yang up.

Gu Feng walked to Su Jiu'er's side, put the burden in his hand on the bench on the side, and poured a glass of water for General Wang, "Senior brother, drink some water." ”

General Wang affectionately leaned over to Yangyang's face, kissed him vigorously, and said to Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er on the side, "This kid is sturdy, and he will definitely be able to be a general in the future!" ”

Su Jiu'er saw General Wang and Gu Feng sit down, and they also sat aside, bowing their heads and smiling silently.

Mama Zhu hurriedly packed up the things on the ground and put them in the back room, then turned around and went out.

Xiao Si was playing at Jiang's house, and she happened to go over to take a look.

"I don't expect him to be a general." Gu Feng reached out to hold Su Jiu'er's hand and said softly, "As long as the child can grow up well, it will be done." ”

General Wang secretly glanced at Su Jiu'er, and seeing that she looked calm, he knew that Gu Feng didn't tell Su Jiu'er about that matter.

"Brother and sister," General Wang smiled at Su Jiu'er, "I was a little hungry when I was in a hurry just now, do you have any food at home?" ”

"I'm going to buy groceries, Senior Brother Xianggong, you can talk." With that, Su Jiu'er hurriedly got up and walked outside.

She walked to the kitchen door, took the kitchen door with her hand, and went to Mama Zhu's room, seeing that she was not there, she knew that Mama Zhu had gone to Jiang's house, and hurriedly walked towards Jiang's house.

General Wang put Yangyang on his lap and sat down, only teasing the child.

"Is something happening again?" Gu Feng said, picked up the tea cup in front of him, and drank it all.

"You know me too well." General Wang laughed, dragging Yangyang in the palm of his hand, "Now there are only the crown prince and the seventh prince left in the court, and the emperor's body is not as good as a year after year, I'm afraid that the sky will change this year." ”

"Since someone can become the emperor, it's none of our business." Gu Feng said indifferently.

"I'm afraid that the evidence of the collusion between the Seven Princes and the Xiongnu will reach the emperor in half a month." General Wang stared at Gu Feng's face intently, pursed his lower lip slightly, and said slowly, "My informant received news that the evidence of the crown prince's killing of the five princes is conclusive, and the evidence will reach the emperor in a month." ”

Gu Feng looked at General Wang with a pale face, his throat slid down, and he lowered his eyes helplessly.
