Chapter 13: The Great Collection
The meat in Meng's clip is not big, just a small piece, but this chopstick really shocked many people's eyes, and even Old Man Gu, who has never paid attention to this, was shocked.
Gu Qing'er looked at Meng in disbelief, what's wrong with my mother? Actually sandwiched meat for the third sister-in-law?
Women don't care about the table of fathers, all the food is distributed by the mother, only herself and her mother can be full, and the sister-in-law and niece can eat eight points full is the grace of the mother.
"Mother?" Gu Qing'er couldn't help but open her mouth, Meng Shi picked her up, and Gu Qing'er signaled her not to speak.
Liu's eyes rolled for a moment, Meng Shi was testing her, seeing if she took the initiative to cook today to be sincere and low, or was she playing tricks, Gu Yunyao didn't work, Wang did a few things that made Meng unhappy today, Meng Shi had a crisis in her heart, she was worried that because Gu Yunyao would provoke her prestige in this family.
Immediately, Liu Shi put on a flattered expression, looking helpless, and after a while, he said: "Thank you, mother!" ”
Meng was very satisfied with Liu's performance, it seemed that Liu's still listened to his own words, and was even afraid of himself, thinking that it was a grace to give Liu's a small half of the multigrain rice.
Just after lunch, it rained, Wang rushed back with two daughters, all of them were poured into soup chicken, Wang's stomach is really out of stock, cold and hungry, sweeping where to get food, go to the room is not pleased, the third room is not pleased, lift the feet, Wang came to the fourth room.
With the incident of Meng stealing rabbits yesterday, Gu Yunyao had already locked the door before the two of them took a nap, and the Wang family hit a wall, so he could only kick the door of the fourth room to vent his hatred.
The rain didn't stop until Shenshi, Old Man Gu wanted to go to the field to see the situation, Wang changed into a dry burial clothes, his eyes grunted and he had an idea, pulled the two daughters, and took the initiative to go out to dig wild vegetables without Meng Shi's scolding, and in less than half an hour, Old Man Gu came back with a gloomy face and entered the upper room.
Gu Yunyao was doing willow weaving in the fourth room, only to hear Old Man Gu and Meng Shi lower their voices and complain to each other, Gu Chuanzhao persuaded on the side, but he didn't hear what he was talking about, and after a while, Gu Chuanzhao came out to pick up firewood and passed by the fourth room, and Gu Yunyao stopped him. "Fifth uncle, what's wrong with grandma?"
Gu Chuanzhao glared, looking lawsuit.
"It's not your grandmother, it's your eldest aunt who went to dig wild vegetables, and complained when she met people, saying that your grandmother didn't feel sorry for her daughter-in-law, and that your third aunt relied on herself to be a child girl and squeezed her out at home, and the people in the village were exquisite, and when your father heard it, I heard of Xiucai Niangzi, where did this Tongsheng Niang come from, your eldest aunt is really unwilling."
After speaking, Gu Chuanzhao went back to warm the house with firewood, Gu Yunyao nodded, Old Man Gu has the best face, Wang's words, isn't it that the Gu family is not harmonious, and the elders are not kind? There is a person in the family who has taken the imperial examination, and these reputations are not wanted.
The affairs in the backyard were in charge of the Meng family, and the daughter-in-law was embarrassed by talking nonsense, which was the Meng family's dereliction of duty, and the old man Gu also knew that at noon the Meng family wanted to save the food of the three people and deliberately find fault, so he had a quarrel with the Meng family.
In the evening, the Wang family came back, and the three of them together barely dug up a basket of wild vegetables, Meng was so angry that his eyes were about to roll out, Wang actually dared to fight the ghost idea and let Old Man Gu reprimand her! She is fifty years old, and if she can't control the Wang family after going through so many things, she will live in vain.
The Wang family provoked the old man Gu to reprimand her, and the Meng family directly instigated Gu Chuanfu to teach the Wang family a lesson, and tomorrow the two daughters of the big house will go out to dig wild vegetables, Wang is at home, Meng looks at her doing work, in addition to cooking, all the dirty work at home belongs to the Wang family, under the nose, the Meng family wants to see what kind of wind and waves the Wang family can turn up!
The moon stars are scarce, Gu Yunyao checked the basket made by the two of them again, a total of seventeen, these will be sold by Gu Chuanzhao tomorrow, the stone iris has dried up on the kang, Gu Yunyao simply weighed it twice, and the water evaporated, which is only about five catties left.
The willow weaving in the big house is not much, and the three people only make ten, and it is not good-looking, and it can't be sold at all, so angry that the old man Gu has a headache.
Gu Chuanzhao never mentioned Gu Chuanhai's talk about the car money, but told Old Man Gu that the road to the town with a cart was muddy and difficult, and many people would have to go to the field to drain the water tomorrow, and there must not be many people going to the town, and he couldn't take so many baskets when he went to the town alone, so let Gu Yunyao go with him.
Old man Gu felt that it was the same, so he followed Gu Chuanzhao's meaning and asked the two of them to take an ox cart to the town, and the money came out of the Gongzhong, but when they came back, they had to walk back to the two of them, after all, it was two pennies, Meng Shi looked at the basket made by the big house, his face was gloomy, thinking that he had just asked his eldest son to go to five big money yesterday, it was painful, and the eldest son was happy when he asked for money, and how to do the work was so rough.
Meng Shi was not thinking in his heart, and then looked at his old son, Meng Shi said to Old Man Gu: "Don't save those two money, don't say that you are tired, the road is muddy and dirty, and you will have to wear and tear when you come back, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”
Old Man Gu thought about it, and yes, clothes are expensive things, Gu Chuanzhao hurriedly thanked Meng.
Early the next morning, Gu Yunyao cleaned up early, put the stone iris in the back basket, covered it with the rabbit skin, and stood at the door of the fourth room waiting for Gu Chuanzhao, Meng saw Gu Yunyao carrying the back basket, and couldn't help but wonder if Gu Yunyao had brought something to the town, but thinking that there was nothing to pawn in the fourth room, Meng Shi glanced at it with disdain and went back to the upper room, and with her youngest son watching, she was relieved.
Yesterday's rain was not small, Gu Chuanzhao guessed correctly, there were only five of them and uncles and nephews who went to the town today, and the others went to the fields to drain the water.
Put the basket on the ox cart, Gu Yunyao found an inconspicuous place to sit down, her face was obviously scarred, she was retired, her reputation was not good, several people in the village sat far away from her, Gu Chuanzhao paid, Zheng Laohan, who was driving the car, saw that no one was coming again, sighed and did it, and with a wave of the whip, the ox cart rushed to the direction of Sihe Town.
Just on the official road, the ox cart is easy to walk a lot, the official road is more than half a meter higher than the surrounding crops, Qizhou is commercially developed, all the official roads are carefully repaired, there are ten meters wide, the government has to patrol once a month, timely repair to ensure unblocked.
Gu Chuanzhao looked at this flower basket, his eyes were full of smiles, and he said to Gu Yunyao: "Yao girl, let's go directly to the big set, this basket is good-looking, it should be able to sell a few on the big set, and in the big set, the selling price is higher than that of the grocery store!" ”
When Gu Yunyao heard this, her eyes lit up. "Big set?"
