Chapter 6: Proposing a separation
But after all, it was his most distressed son, and Meng Shi didn't want to brush Gu Chuanzhao's face, and scolded Gu Chuanhai in his heart for dividing her relationship with her son, and he didn't say anything on his face.
Old man Gu raised his eyelids, feeling that what Gu Chuanzhao said was reasonable, thinking that there was a place for the living, and it was better to be poked in the backbone of the village for a lifetime, saying that he sent his dead brother's flesh and blood to death.
Pursing his lips, Old Man Gu nodded. "That's just as well."
As soon as the words fell, he heard the sound of the door curtain, Gu Chuanzhao immediately got up, and Gu Yunyao brought the rabbit meat that Gu Chuanzhao had set aside before. "Fifth uncle, my father said, give grandma more filial piety."
Gu Yunyao didn't enter the main room, but said in the outhouse, her voice crisp.
Gu Chuanzhao nodded and said loudly: "Your father is the most filial, go back and have dinner with your father, it will be dark for a while, and you can't see anything in the black light." ”
Gu Yunyao nodded, she was originally pretending, and she didn't want to stay in the room longer.
The old man Gu in the house was in a good mood, this was another piece of meat sent, although there were only two pieces, but it was conceivable that Gu Chuanhai definitely didn't have much left, and his heart became more and more comfortable, Meng snorted, just about to have a seizure, Old Man Gu glanced at her, and said loudly: "Okay, eat!" ”
Old man Gu picked up a large piece of rabbit meat and gave it to Gu Chuanzhao first, then picked up another piece and gave it to his third son Gu Chuanshou, who was studying, and finally gave it to his eldest son and several grandchildren.
In Old Man Gu's heart, the intimacy of his children and grandchildren is in this order.
In the end, Old Man Gu took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
Old man Gu moved his chopsticks, and this family dared to move.
Outside, Gu Yunyao went back to the fourth room, the room was warm, changed the cloth on Gu Chuanhai's feet and neck, and re-iced cold water before Gu Yunyao sat down to eat.
Gu Chuanhai desperately sandwiched Gu Yunyao's meat, her eyes were full of guilt and pity, Gu Yunyao didn't know what to say, she was used to living alone, even when she went to college, she lived alone outside the school, she didn't know how to live with a "father" at all.
In her previous life, she was the cold school flower of the Central Academy of Arts, and she was the master of the Yuetang Hall high above, and the people who begged her to cure her illness and save her life were not dignitaries in front of people, and which ones were not Baba in front of her, and even her suitors were all dragons and phoenixes among people, so they could discharge a reinforcement company in terms of numbers.
She has always been the moon held in the sky.
But looking at the pointed rabbit meat in the bowl, although it was also being held, Gu Yunyao's feeling in her heart was not the same as before, but it was the same as this house, warm, is this what it feels like to be cared for by relatives?
Sandwiched a large piece of rabbit meat to Gu Chuanhai, Gu Yunyao did not have an extra expression on his face. "Dad, you eat too, so much, I can't eat it, the rabbit meat can't be eaten at one time, and if it is heated again, it won't taste good."
"Alas!" Gu Chuanhai grinned, but the chopsticks put the meat back into the vegetable bowl, even if it was hot in the pot, it was not as delicious as this meal, but it was also a meat dish, a cropper, rare. "Dad has a bad stomach in the past two days, so just drink soup."
"Dad, I'm twelve years old, don't use this little trick to coax me," Gu Yunyao looked at Gu Chuanhai, rolled her eyes, thought about it, and said softly: "Dad, what to eat, what to make up, your feet and neck are so serious, even if you don't eat anything else, you have to eat the meat on this rabbit leg." ”
"Just think it's for me, you have to get better quickly, get better, let's split up." Gu Yunyao's words made Gu Chuanhai slightly stunned.
He has read books, he is a child, and the filial piety taught in the school is deeply rooted in his heart.
The fields are divided into fifth-class, and many of the fields of the Gu family are second-class paddy fields left by his father, and the old man Gu only has thirty acres of fourth-class dry land at the earliest, not to mention the low yield, and it is far from the village.
Although the old man Gu is not his biological father, he has also called his father for almost 20 years, the eldest man of the big house is married, and he will be married in three months, and the eldest daughter of the second room, Gu Meixiang, is also going to say that he is married, these are all for money, and the fifth brother, the eight characters are not good, and he may only spend a lot of money to buy a daughter-in-law in the end.
If he splits up, won't that push the Gu family to the point of great difficulty?
But......
What the girl said to Meng Shi today still lingered in his ears, he used his life to repay the kindness of Old Man Gu and Meng's family, and Meng Shi actually ruined his daughter's reputation like this.
"Let's talk about the separation of the family another day." Gu Chuanhai finally sandwiched a piece of meat and put it in his bowl, still embarrassed. "Dad will talk to your fifth uncle tomorrow, leave you two more cents, and you can buy a few pieces of candy to eat."
Gu Yunyao didn't say anything anymore, otherwise it would be as if she was forcing Gu Chuanhai to split up.
I can't go back to modern society, the life of this big Cang Dynasty will be a long time coming, this dad is slowly transforming, there is always a reason for splitting the family, the Gu family is a bunch of superb, are you afraid that you can't find a reason?
It was night, the entire Gu family's old house was quiet, Gu Yunyao's body was weak, and she slept very deeply in her own cabin, Gu Chuanhai saw that her daughter was safe, although it was a basket of thoughts, but she also slept slowly, only in the upper room, Meng Shi turned over and over.
Old Man Gu was impatient. "What are you doing, don't bother me if you can't sleep."
Meng smacked his lips. "His father, you said that the fourth child is a deflated calf, and he has not made a meritorious service in the army? There is one in our former village, who also went to the border and came back alive, he made meritorious contributions, and now he is a fast catcher in the Yamen! ”
Although the catcher is not an official, it is an entourage recruited by the official, but there is a lot of silver money a month, and this catcher collects a small amount of money, which is also a large amount of income! I heard that you can collect more than two taels of silver a month.
Gu Chuanhai is back, this is alive, he has to add money to the family quickly, so as not to raise this cheap son in vain.
When Old Man Gu heard this, he sneered and turned over to look at Meng.
"The former village is fast? That is to send their Yunying's unmarried sister to the master in the yamen as a concubine to catch fast, you listen to the nonsense of their village, our Dacang Dynasty, made meritorious contributions at the border pass, that is all the military officials, if the fourth is an official, can he come back so poor and white? ”
Meng's eyes darkened. "It's really unlucky, this conscription went out, and there was not even a military salary, and the court was too picky, so I would give a few sons."
Old Man Gu also tightened the quilt, it was dark tonight and it would be cloudy in less than an hour, it was so cold now, it would definitely rain in the night.
"Say no more, sleep! The fourth child's foot and neck are broken, you don't have to quarrel with him in the past two days, let him hurry up, his body is neat and looking for a job before someone can use it, he is a person who can make money, and so many people watch jokes today, maybe which wife in the village will be noisy, you have been going to find that girl to work in the past two days, and wait for the old Qi family to quit the matter of quitting. ”
