Chapter 10: The 70s of the Female General (10)
"There is no shortage of this at home, my cousin gives a lot, and Erdan and Yaya drink it every day. Can you stop pushing it, and you can't tell me to carry it back? Then my mother can't scold me? Grandma, you clean up, I'll go say hello to grandpa. ”
The old lady watched her go out to the south room of the stove room, and shook her head, but she thought in her heart about what to give in return.
The eldest daughter of the Gu family is the stepmother of Qing Soul, the second daughter Gu Ying is also married, and the third daughter Gu Hua said that her in-laws are from the same village, and the wedding date is set for May after the year. Son Gu Bing is also looking at each other, the fourth girl Gu Cui is fifteen this year, and she will be able to talk about others in two years, the youngest daughter Gu Ming is twelve years old, the same age as Qingsoul.
Several people looked at the things taken out of the bamboo basket and looked at each other, different from the honesty and kindness of the eldest sister and the second sister, the third Gu Chinese were shrewd, but they were not people who liked to take advantage, and exclaimed: "Mom, are you moving all the family of the eldest sister's family?" ”
The eldest sister is now an orphan and widow, and her life is not easy, and she has three children to raise.
The old lady snorted, and before she could speak, Gu Bing frowned and said, "These two pieces of meat must be about six or seven catties, right?" The two fish are two or three catties each, as well as rice and wheat noodles, it looks like they are packed in a bag of ten catties, and sugar, yo, there is also a piece of beef, Mom, these things are not old and young, you take it back, the eldest sister's family is not old? Hurry up and let Yo You bring it back, these things, back and forth, let a child carry it, or I'll send her back? ”
The fourth aunt Gu Cui had a strange temper, and she kept a cold face all day long, as if someone else owed her eight hundred yuan, but when it came to it, it was actually the most thoughtful among the Gu family sisters, so she nodded: "What my brother said is true." We have hands and feet, how can we live our lives, the eldest sister's family is the only one who can do things, and this New Year's gift is too much. ”
Only Gu Ming's eyes lit up when he looked at the flesh, speaking of which, the Gu family is a kind family, and the old lady taught her daughter very well, but the youngest daughter, Gu Ming, probably because she is the oldest, is the most favored at home, her brothers and sisters are all protecting her, and whatever is good is close to her first, and her temperament is a little left, and when she sees that her brother and sister want to return the things, she is not very happy: "The eldest sister sent it, and it was not what we asked for, and it was all sent, and the eldest sister can look good on her face when you return it?" This is the filial piety of the eldest sister. ”
When the fourth aunt Gu Cui heard this, her face became even more ugly, and her brows were furrowed to kill mosquitoes: "Xiao Ming, what are you talking about?" Which family has more life now? Which one gives New Year's gifts like this? The eldest brother-in-law had a better life at that time, so he just gave it away, and now it can be compared with previous years? Is it easy for the eldest sister to feed three children by herself? If it weren't for the fact that there are many people in the Yan family, for the sake of the face in front of the eldest brother-in-law, how would the eldest sister's life be lived? We can't help anything, isn't this drinking the blood of the eldest sister? ”
"What nonsense?" Gu Cui's words were not good, Gu Bing drank, "But what the fourth sister said is also right, but when you go back, you will also splash the eldest sister's face, so let's take half of each." Our family has a lot of sweet potatoes this year, and the taste is also sweet, and then send some sweet potatoes to the eldest sister's house, a few days ago I went down to the river to catch small fish, isn't it air-dried, and then send some dried miscellaneous fish, I remember that Yo Yo loves to eat that, Mom first put it on, and I will send Yo Yo back. ”
Gu Ming pouted, and was glared at by Gu Bing, not daring to say anything more. She thought for a moment, then simply turned around and went out and went to the stove house.
The old man burned a brazier in the house, and the green soul was roasting the fire while accompanying the old man to talk about the parents, the old man and the green soul talked about the war in the past, and the green soul listened with relish, the war in this era was different from her time, and now the war uses hot weapons, and the green soul is interested in this.
Seeing Gu Ming coming, Qing Soul also said hello: "Auntie." ”
Gu Ming smiled: "Mom said that you have walked all the way, I guess you are tired, ask me to pour you a cup of hot water to warm up, but unfortunately we don't have sugar at home, why don't you give you an egg?" ”
Qing Soul hurriedly excused himself: "Don't bother, I'll leave in a while, come to my mother's advice, let me go back early." ”
Gu Ming said: "Why is it so urgent?" You sent so many things, you must be tired, my brother said that you have to go back half of the time to ask you to take it back, our family has a lot of sweet potatoes this year, you go back with a basket back, and there are some small dried fish, my brother said that you love to eat, and I will also give you a pack. The sweet potatoes can be weighed, they are very heavy, and my brother said to send you back. ”
In the place where Qing Soul lived in her last life, there were no sweet potatoes and corn, and others wanted to vomit when they ate sweet potatoes, but she really loved to eat them, whether they were buried in the stove or roasted, or made into sweet potato porridge, even the porridge cooked from dried sweet potatoes, eating hard noodles, she also felt very fragrant. Then there is the vermicelli, the sour and spicy vermicelli soup, she can eat three bowls in one go.
There is also this thing of dried fish, which couldn't reach her in her previous life, but she really loves to eat it in this life, and she is wrapped in noodles and fried, and it is all a snack. She loves to share this with her little uncle.
Qing Soul knows what kind of character this aunt is, what kind of trick can this little scheming play in front of her? She didn't care, she just said, "Why are you carrying those things back after they were sent?" My uncle still remembers that I like to eat sweet potatoes and dried fish, which is good, it just so happens that my family does not have many sweet potatoes this year, so I accepted them on behalf of my mother. ”
When Gu Ming heard this, the smile on his face became sincere. poured a cup of hot water for the green soul, and then rushed away to the hall.
Qing Soul said a few words with the old man, and then said goodbye: "Grandpa, lie down, take care of your body, and when the weather is warm in the spring, I will bring Erdan and Yaya to see you." ”
The old man told her to be careful on the road, and the green soul answered one by one and returned to the hall. Sure enough, the back basket was full, and the fish and grain were all placed on it, which was for fear of being crushed by the sweet potatoes.
Qing Soul opened the lid of the bamboo basket and took out half of the fish and meat food: "Grandma, if you really ask me to carry these back, I don't want the sweet potatoes and dried fish you gave." ”
The little man had a tiger face, very imposing, the old lady sighed, and stopped: "Come on, you love to eat dried fish, go back and ask your uncle to make more, I have to take it for you." We don't have anything else in our family, fishing for fish and shrimp, this uncle is good at it. ”
The green soul smiled: "That's it." Then I'll go back, uncle, don't send me, I'll send you, you send me, I'll send you, so back and forth, there's no need to do anything else. ”
Gu Bing said that it was funny, but how could he rest assured that she was a little girl walking ten miles? Pull her to send.
"It's dark early in winter, what do you encounter along the way? Besides, this basket of sweet potatoes is not light......"
Qing Soul said in his heart, I will walk slower before it gets dark, if it is really dark, I will carry light work, and I will arrive home in ten minutes.
Just as he was prevaricating, he heard a hearty voice at the door: "Auntie, this is a guest at home?" ”
Qing Soul turned his head and saw a man who was nearly one meter eight tall, dressed in a green military uniform and a green military coat, with a resolute face, clear eyes, and a smile on his face, who was about to enter the courtyard at the gate of the Gu family.
