is so spicy that scolding his own brothers can also swear words about the eight generations of his ancestors, and the Han family is unprecedented.

In order to tie up with his boss, Zhu Shao often goes to Han Fuguang's place every day to ask for peace. On this day, Han Fuguang didn't sleep well, so they came over early and planned to have breakfast not far from the door. Seeing that there were many people around the gate of the compound, the car only heard the scolding when it arrived. Zhu Shaochang hurriedly got out of the car and separated the crowd, walked to Han's side and saw that he had never seen it, and stretched out his hand to give her a loud mouth. scolded with a straight face: "Where did the bastard king gossip come from?" Dare to scold the chairman here? Someone, tie up this crazy woman. ”

Ji Tang hurriedly rushed over, and just about to make a move, he saw Han Fuguang getting out of the car, stretched out his hand to support his mother and pointed at him and said, "Mother, uncle!" Han Shi listened to the scolding even more fiercely, and the spit flowers flew wildly.

At the same time, Han Fuguang also recognized that it was the eldest sister and nephew, and guessed that it was related to the girl he pulled yesterday, but he couldn't block the government gate and scold. Angry and even more annoyed Zhu Shaochang, he kicked him in the past, glared and scolded: "You are the fucking bastard bastard!" This is my eldest sister! After scolding, he changed to a smiling face, and lowered his voice to approach Han, "My sister is here!" How can you mess with the little four here? Let's go, there's something to talk about! Don, take your mother and come in with me! ”

Zhu Shao's thigh was often kicked at the root, but he didn't dare to squeak, looking at the situation, the kick was not unjust. I could only endure it, turned around and nodded at Han's mother and son. Seeing them go inside, he turned around and scattered the people who were watching the excitement, and ordered the doorman to take care of the carriage, and instantly regained his momentum in front of these people.

A few people went to Wufeng Tower and sat down, and explained things clearly in a few words. Han Fuguang understood what was going on, and he was even more confused about Zhu Shaochang, blaming him for not inquiring about the details of the girl, and he didn't expect that Gu Xinyi was the nephew and daughter-in-law who had not passed the door. Fortunately, I learned last night that she was Gu Qingyuan's daughter, and when she came back, she didn't care about the overlord and forced her bow, otherwise she would have been scolded to death by the old lady today. After the scolded dog was bloody, he licked his face and smiled, put the responsibility on Zhu Shaochang, and immediately asked Zhu Shaochang to apologize to them in person. After sitting for a while, I went out to find a restaurant to have breakfast first, and arranged for Zhu Shaochang and the driver to drive Gu Xinyi's mother and daughter and Han Shi home, but Ji Tang was still in a hurry.

Who is Zhu Shaochang? The old fritters mixed up in officialdom, what is the black pot for the chief? In the blink of an eye, he slapped the horse of Han's whiskers like no one, and promised to give a big gift to the young master when he got married. When he sent a group of people to the place, he took a fancy to Xi'er again in the Gu family, and this time he first inquired before going back to report to Han Fuguang. Han Fuguang was overjoyed, and the matter of the fourth aunt was settled again, and he was finally happy in vain.

That night, Han Fuguang rushed to Liaocheng in person, and first prepared a generous gift to plead with Han. The sweetness of the "eldest sister" and "sister" made Han laugh. The Han family was already very arrogant, and he went to the Gu family with gifts to propose early the next morning. To say that the Han family is not weak, with a three-inch tongue, he actually persuaded Mrs. Gu and Zhu Qiaozhen. Mrs. Gu discussed with Gu Qingyuan again, and decided to accept Xi'er as a righteous daughter, and give the house of the sixth uncle's family across the alley to Gu Chong's family of three. Gu Zhong and his wife not only have no opinion, but also happy, this girl will get married sooner or later, and being the fourth aunt of the official family is better than being the main house of the small people in the market. Now Xi'er has become the second miss of the Gu family, and she is married to Han Fuguang openly, and the couple can be regarded as having a support when they are old.

However, Xi'er was not happy about this marriage, and thought that it should not be like this. She thinks that the surname Han is Gu Xinyi, and Gu Qingyuan and his wife don't want their daughter to be a young girl so that they recognize her as a righteous daughter, so they are obviously using her to block the evil (4). Her incompetent and cowardly father and mother are still grateful to them. In this way, he invisibly held a grudge against his biological parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law. And Gu Xinyi is the source of this hatred, if these people are not for the so-called eldest lady, how can they push her into the fire pit.

On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, Xi'er officially got married, whether she wanted it or not, she had no right to give an opinion on this marriage. But she didn't make a noise or shed a single tear, and she chose to endure it again. Rather than crying and being dragged away, it is better to leave with a smile on her face, believing that one day they can see her as the best.

Gu Xinyi cried all night because of the loss of her good sister, but this family snatching turmoil finally ended with great joy before the Lunar New Year. On the day of the wedding, she found out about her engagement to Ji Tang, and waited for her father to come back from outside at night to hurriedly object. But he immediately sank his face and taught her a hard lesson. said that the man's appearance and family reputation can be counted in the city, and the orders of the three media and six hired parents are also common sense, and she is scolded not to act willfully. She went to her mother again and affirmed that she was a progressive woman with new ideas in the new era, she wanted to get rid of feudal constraints, she wanted to truly make her own marriage, and she didn't want to marry someone they appointed at will like Xi'er. But she was not loved by her mother as much as she used to, what she got was her mother's sharp eyes and slap. She cried, she was beaten for the first time in her life, and she saw the tears in her mother's eyes at the same time, and knew that it was a foregone conclusion.

The twenty-third of the month was the first time Gu Xinyi felt that life was full of helplessness on Chinese New Year's Eve. She didn't go out for six days at home, and during this time she learned a lot of things she had never thought of before. Including the closeness that Xi'er pretended to be when she returned to the door with her new aunt Han Fuguang on the eighteenth day, including the fact that her father, who had always been kind, solemnly informed her that the wedding date was March 18 after the beginning of spring, including the warmth in Aunt Qiaozhen's eyes when she brought her dinner half an hour ago. She finally decided to meet Fan Junsheng at night and ask him what he thought about the matter. Although I don't dare to have the idea of running away from home, it is still okay to get a few words of comfort from him. Gu Xinyi pondered while walking, turned along Lounan Street to Louxi Street, and then walked along the road all the way to Xiguan Street outside the city, and saw the top of the house of Wei Damiao turning north. The general direction is correct, but she doesn't know where Fan Junsheng's house is. So I don't know what to do if I go around the temple twice. Finally, I saw an old man walking hobbly in the alley, and hurried over to ask for directions. He didn't know who Fan Junsheng was, and he couldn't be sure which alley the orphan and widow who sold tofu brains lived in, but fortunately, he knew "Xian Dayang" and successfully brought her outside Fan's house.

Widow Fan was very surprised by Gu Xinyi's visit, and looked at it for more than a minute before calling out "Xiaosheng" and walked slowly into the low kitchen next to the two bungalows. Fan Junsheng was also surprised to see her, and whispered to her to wait outside the door, and also went into the kitchen. I came out a few minutes later, and walked with her down the small alley to the lake.

The two of them walked from north to south along the secluded lakeside, the cold north whistled straight to the whistle, and the only thing left on the path was her lint shoes stepping on the stones and the whistling north wind. Fan Junsheng took the initiative to break the silence when he saw that she had not spoken: "Xiaoyi, don't come to our yard in the future, my mother doesn't like to see people." ”

What are these words? Blame? Was it wrong for me to come to you in the dark? Isn't it because I want to have a future with you to be so proactive? Actually a human being again? Is it an acquaintance's business that she sells tofu brains on West Street all day long? ……？ A lot of question marks instantly popped up in Gu Xinyi's heart, and he looked up at his back but didn't say a word.

"I thought about it, I'll go to the northwest after the New Year. Ding Damin, Liu Chang, Tang Shunzi, several teachers all went, and that was a good place for us to display our ambitions. Fan Junsheng continued. He pondered this idea for a long time, and it was not easy to make this decision to leave behind his lonely mother and beloved, so he poured it out in one go, "Mr. Chen is right, to do a great career, you must have a bit of adventurous spirit and progressive ......thinking."

After a long speech, Fan Junsheng talked endlessly as if he was giving a lecture at school, and said that Gu Xinyi's already unsteady mood became more and more erratic. What's more important is that he resolutely leaves with his friends this time to realize his long-awaited dream. But what should she do, she came to him to complain about her depression, what she needs is comfort, and she needs his support to get out of the predicament.

"Junsheng-" Gu Xinyi finally couldn't help but interrupt him, "What should I do if you leave?" ”

Fan Junsheng stopped when he heard this, turned his head to look at her faintly, and his excitement stopped abruptly. But isn't it, what should she do? She is also a dream he pursues. But it's not easy for him to make a decision, so why give up for her? He fell into deep thought.

"Junsheng." Gu Xinyi called him by name softly. This person who calls her always concerned is often hesitant.

"Xiaoyi, you, you wait for me, I will definitely come back to you after the victory." Fan Junsheng looked at Gu Xinyi resolutely, and pointed back with his right hand, "Xiguan Bridge is a witness, I, Fan Jun-"

"Junsheng, I'm not asking you to curse! I'm sure you won't change your mind, but when will you win? Ten and a half days to pull the moon? Or a year and a half? Gu Xinyi's mind once again flashed with his father's stern appearance, as well as the damn "March 18th".

"Xiaoyi, doing big things is not a matter of three days and two noons, you have confidence in me! I promise to come back and take you away as soon as I win! Fan Junsheng felt that Gu Xinyi was not as demure as usual today.

"That, that, alas, me." Gu Xinyi didn't know how to express her anxiety, and suddenly turned her back to Fan Junsheng. He lowered his head for a long time before he bit his lip and squeaked out a sentence from between his teeth: "You-Junsheng-do you dare to take me with you?" ”

Fan Jun was stunned, and he couldn't believe his ears. After a while, he said, "Xiaoyi, this kind of thing can't be used as a joke. ”

"I'm serious, my father forced me to marry Ji Ertang!" Gu Xinyi said eagerly, and became even more worried.

Everyone in the city knew that their Ji family was abnormal, and they all walked around when they met them. Someone also made up a smooth mouth: Daguang beat away his daughter-in-law, Ertang is a smiling tiger, Sanying is pregnant with a wild child, and Siyang is half off (5) black-hearted eyes.

"When?" Fan Junsheng instantly became uneasy, his family was heaven and earth compared to the Ji family, and Ji Tang was even more famous for his kindness and ruthlessness.

"March 18." Gu Xinyi said and turned around to look at Fan Junsheng's face, which was so dark that she could only see a rough outline, but she was too familiar with his face, and those melancholy eyes, "What should I do?" Junsheng? ”

"I'm afraid I can't take you away." Fan Junsheng said this sentence for fear that she would be angry and hurriedly added, "Don't worry, I can write to Mr. Chen what to do?" He is the representative of the party and the man between us. He also began to worry about the future of the two.

"When will I get the letter?" Gu Xinyi was still looking at him.

"Let's go back and wait. Xiaoyi, have faith in me. Fan Junsheng said that he had no confidence, "It's too late, I'll send you." As he spoke, he turned around and walked south along the trail, his pace faster than just now, and obviously chaotic.

Gu Xinyi followed behind Fan Junsheng, and her heart was even more unrealistic than when she came. She understands his difficulties, and it is not easy for him to be determined to do great things. Although his ideological consciousness is very high, he has a lot of worries around him, he misses a group of children, worries about his mother, and the relationship between the two. She shouldn't have dragged him back, but she was unwilling to marry the emotionless Ji Tang, she didn't want to become a fake like Xi'er, and she couldn't bear the notoriety of betraying her parents.

There is nothing more tormenting in the world than waiting, and the blind spot in this torment is waiting with all your heart, leaving no other way out. Gu Xinyi is like this, one day, two days, three days...... Always believing that he could help her solve this problem was her only hope.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the next day is Chinese New Year's Eve. Gu Xinyi took some things from her store and sent them to Fan Junsheng's house. She carried a part in front of her, and the girl Cuiying was still holding a bunch in the back, with a few boxes of pastries, daily necessities, cured meat, and two pieces of cloth. Cuiying used to do some washing and washing chores at Mrs. Gu's side, but after Xi'er got married, Mrs. Gu was afraid that her daughter would be lonely, so she let her be her companion. This girl is four years younger than Gu Xinyi, and she has always been diligent, sincere, and timid in the Gu family for more than six years, so she looks very well-behaved in front of her.

When the two arrived at Fan Junsheng's house, they were just in time for him to be away, and he was selling Spring Festival couplets at the gate of Wei Temple these days. His mother politely took the things in, but didn't let them into the house. The two went out again and walked down the alley to the temple, where there were many people and they had to do business, so he didn't greet them much. Gu Xinyi didn't dare to speak much because of Cuiying's presence, but she really wanted to ask what she said last time. He saw her thoughts, so he vaguely said that the old place was talking on the fifth night of the first month.

The every move of these people has long been watched by Yao Tiehammer, a Ji family worker. He is the son of a vegetable farmer in Dongguan Liuyuanwa, malnourished and barren when he was a child, and looks like a child of twelve or thirteen years old in his early twenties. His task is to follow Gu Xinyi from afar every day, wherever he goes. She didn't go out, he squatted at the mouth of the alley, like a half-grown child, no one noticed, and when she was hungry, she ate a piece of cold steamed buns brought in the morning, but the salary was more than half higher than that of ordinary workers. This was arranged by Ji Tang, since the last time Han Fuguang was troubled, Ji Tang was worried that someone would harass this unmarried wife again, and it just so happened that Yao Tie Hammer was suitable for this.

It was dark, and Yao Tiehammer returned to Ji's house as usual to report today's situation briefly. When Ji Tang heard that Widow Fan's son was involved, he immediately knocked over the vinegar bottle in his heart. Without changing his face, he rewarded Yao Tiehammer with two silver dollars, asked him to continue to "be smart", and waved his hand to let him go.

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there were still many stalls in front of the Wei Temple. This is the last day of the year, and there is only half a day, and the second half of the day has to go home to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Fan Junsheng's stall is a small square table with pen, ink and red paper, and the written couplets are stuck in a thin rope behind him with clips, one end of the rope is tied to the handlebar of the rack selling sweet potatoes, and the other end is tied to the branch of a small locust tree in the north. I was going to go home when I sold these, so I stood in front of the table with my hands in my hands.

Suddenly, four strong young men came from the south, and without saying a word, they overturned the table, tore off the rope, and trampled on Fan Junsheng's Spring Festival couplets with their feet. He hurriedly pulled one of them to ask why, and was surrounded by the other three, who knocked him down and punched him in the blink of an eye.

Most of the people next to it are neighborhoods, and there are many people around. Some watched the excitement, and some people shouted and asked the reason: "Why are you beating people?" "What's going on?" "Who's going to pull it up?" "Who is this messing with?" Xiaosheng will set up a stall to buy a Spring Festival couplet, who will he recruit? ”

There were many people shouting, but none of them dared to pull the rack.

At the back of the crowd was a man curled up in a torn jacket, wearing a torn cotton hat with cotton wool on his head and a black oily face. He looked east and west with his hands and muttered strangely: "Hey, isn't this a widow's handsome child?" Why are you being beaten? Oops, nose! Oops, face! Oops, it's bleeding! How much does it hurt? ”

"Isn't it? And no one in charge? "Stop fighting! If you have something to say, it's good to say! Someone in the crowd shouted.

"What's the noise? Get away! One of the beaters stopped and turned around and stared at him, "Who let this bastard have nothing to do to provoke Miss Gu?" If you are cheap, you have to clean it up! ”

"Wow! Merry Tent? "Hey, it's the Gu family!" "Then you can't just hit someone, right?" "Any wonder? This kid too, why do you provoke big families when you have nothing to do? "But no, what should I do if I break it?" There was a lot of talk.

"I don't look like the Gu family, Master Gu is so kind!" The one wearing the patch hat also shouted, "Don't fight, why don't you beat your head for the New Year?" ”

"Get away! Whoever goes forward will piggyback on it! The other dozen stopped and beckoned to the others, "Okay, okay, let him loosen his skin today, and next time he will trample on (6) his dog's legs." After saying that, a few people squeezed out of the crowd and left.

"Yo, my nostrils are bleeding!" The patched hat craned his neck and shouted, "W-w! It's so pitiful, hurry up to the pharmacy bag! Hey, who's got the money? It's a pick! As he spoke, he squatted on the ground and touched it, and he really picked up a handful of silver dollars, and the others also bent down to look around, and the crowd was in chaos. This person came to Fan Junsheng and tilted his head to take a look, helped Fan Junsheng up and squinted his eyes, "It doesn't look tight, hurry up and buy some medicine to wipe it and go home for the New Year." Oh, I just picked it up, and I will split it in half when I see you, and this is for you. I couldn't help but say that I took some of the money in my left hand and stuffed it into Fan Junsheng's hand, turned around and curled up with a hunched body and walked south, muttering in my mouth, "I'm obedient, it hurts to look at, this is still a duty!" ”
