Chapter 31: I don't want to go back to the city
Gu Yi untied his thick padded jacket and hugged him in front of him.
"I can eat it! And it's delicious! Tenderer than an egg, as fragrant as an egg! ”
Xiaohuzi rolled his eyes and hugged his uncle's neck affectionately.
"Uncle, the eggs were laid by the old hen. Are the eggs laid by the big birds? ”
Gu Yi nodded hurriedly: "Yes!" ”
Xiaohuzi asked excitedly: "Can the eggs hatch into birds?" Can? ”
"Absolutely." Gu Yi replied.
The little one thought about it seriously and seemed to have made a big decision.
"Uncle, what about me...... I don't eat bird eggs anymore. You incubate the eggs and wait until the eggs are grown, and then you will hatch the birds, and then I will have a large flock of big birds to give me eggs to eat. Then I can eat eggs every day and give them to my mom, dad and grandma. ”
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed.
Gu Qi was secretly relieved to see that his son was so close to his younger brother.
The second sister is cold by nature, doesn't like to talk or laugh, and ignores everyone. Her son is not close to her, but he still takes the initiative to call her "big aunt" and never greets her because of her indifference.
The little sister has been pampered since she was a child, selfish and unforgiving. She doesn't care much about Xiaohuzi, and he is not close to her, but no matter when, even if he runs past Xiaomei's side, he will simply shout "little aunt".
My younger brother has been in the countryside all these years, and he only goes home two or three times a year, and his son can be as intimate with him as father and son - this is really surprising to him!
Of course, he knew that these were all the credit of his wife, even if she didn't say it, and he didn't ask it himself, but he was an observant person, and he knew that these were all things that his wife taught every day, otherwise the child would not have understood them.
He has been away from home for four or five years, and he can't take care of his hometown, and he can't take care of his wife and children.
The old mother and sisters treated her harshly and looked down on her wife, but she repaid her grievances with virtue, taught her son to be kind to others, and respected every elder in the family. When you have something good to eat, don't forget the adults, and don't be selfish and only take care of yourself.
For this alone, he was sure that Chen Xingling had paid a lot behind the scenes!
She not only has to integrate into the atmosphere of a big family, but also teaches her son to be kind to everyone, and the hardships and difficulties can be imagined.
Thinking of this, he was even more determined in his heart - this trip to pick up their mother and son was a little late, but it must not be delayed any longer!
Gu Yi couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and said with a smile: "Huzi, you can make your uncle embarrassed!" Uncle doesn't know how to hatch birds! ”
Xiaohuzi thought hard and asked, "Why?" ”
Gu Yi shrugged: "Because I'm not a bird mother!" ”
Xiaohuzi was very disappointed and muttered, "What should I do then?" Can you let the old hen help hatch it? Can it? ”
"Hmm~~" Gu Yi was stopped by him and replied, "It should be possible." Why don't you try it? ”
"Yes, yes!" The little one jumped and ran away with the bird's egg.
Li Ying was distressed and shouted: "Come back!" Come back! That thing can be eaten! You can't drop it! ”
"Oops!" Gu Yi glanced at the old mother and said, "Mom, let him play if the tiger wants to play, isn't it just a few little bird eggs?" In the countryside, a small man his size runs all over the fields, learns to climb trees, learns to go into the water, and spends his days staring at birds' nests and digging birds' eggs - there is so much fun! ”
Li Ying glared at him, sneering and scolding: "No wonder you are reluctant to come back!" You're also thinking about playing, aren't you? ”
“…… Of course! Gu Yi's eyes dodged slightly, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden: "I like the countryside a lot, it's much more interesting than ours." ”
Li Ying rolled her eyes and said, "How old are you?" Still thinking about playing? In the past, there was no way to go to the countryside, but now you can go back to the city, so you have to hurry up. ”
Gu Miao rummaged through the second brother's back basket without raising her head: "Yes, yes!" Second brother, don't go back after the Chinese New Year! ”
"Nope." Gu Yi patted the padded jacket on his body, and replied absentmindedly: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, let's delay it for a year and a half." ”
Li Ying was anxious when she heard this, and stood up.
"What do you mean? You're not in a hurry? How can you not be in a hurry? Other people's families wish they could return to the city earlier, why do you always push back? After the Chinese New Year, I will apply and strive to come back after the Lantern Festival. ”
Gu Yi saw that the old mother was serious, and got up with oil on the soles of her feet.
"I'll go back to my room and clean up—"
"Stop!" Li Ying exhaled: "Don't go!" What are you doing not to return to the city? Marley asked your eldest brother for help, wrote the application, and went back to find someone to stamp the application back. ”
Then, she turned her head and said angrily: "Archie, why didn't you say anything for most of the day?" Why don't you hurry up and scold him! See! See! He doesn't know what's going on, and he always doesn't want to go back to the city and come back to work! ”
Gu Qi's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced at Chen Xingling beside him, and he had some understanding in his heart.
It seems that the wife probably guessed correctly.
The gap between urban and rural areas is huge, and most young people who go to the countryside are reluctant to stay in the countryside unless there are unavoidable reasons.
Some of them have already married and had children in the countryside, and their children cannot settle in the city for the time being, so they have to choose to stay temporarily.
The younger brother is not married, and he is young and vigorous, and he loves to be free, so he secretly wants to stay in the countryside, and eighty percent of them really have a sweetheart over there that makes him worry.
After all, Gu Qi is a young man in the new era who has received higher education abroad, so naturally he will not force his younger brother back indiscriminately like his old mother.
"Mom, didn't he just enter the door? You tell him to rest for a while, catch his breath, and then we'll talk about it. Anyway, let's talk about the new year first. It's just an application letter, and it doesn't take half an hour to write, so there's no rush. ”
When Gu Yi heard this, he secretly laughed.
Li Ying still wants to nag her youngest son-
"Mom, are we going to kill pigs in the afternoon?" Chen Xingling interrupted her at the right time and reminded: "If you want to kill a pig, you have to go to the slaughterhouse to find a master quickly." ”
Li Ying: "Ah! With a sigh, I suddenly remembered that the big pig at home had not been killed.
"Yes, yes, yes! No further delay! It's going to be the end of work for the New Year this evening! ”
With that, she hurried out.
Gu Yi saw that the old mother was taken away, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, I'll go back to the room to clean up first, and then talk later!"
"Okay." Gu Qi and Chen Xingling replied in unison.
Gu Yi pulled the big back basket in his sister's hand and strode towards the room.
"Second brother!" Gu Miao hurriedly caught up with her, pouting and shouting aggrievedly: "Did you bring me a New Year's gift?" Big brother brought us a pen, what did you bring? Second brother! Second brother! Take it out! I want my New Year's gift! Now is it! ”
"Don't bother me! New Year's gifts will be given the day after tomorrow! It's said that it's a New Year's gift, how can there be any reason to give it at the end of the year? ”
"It's not a day or two!"
"It's just bad!"
