Chapter 36: The Family
"Yuanzi, you didn't come home in the morning, my mother and I were very worried."
Gu Yuqin was wearing a short-sleeved round-necked shirt, revealing two white arms like jade lotus, and she was making a hare. The long hair had just been washed, coiled at the back of the head to reveal the jade neck, and there was a mixed smell of soap flowers and body fragrance. Li Yuan couldn't help but stick to her, took a few deep breaths, and felt a little uneasy.
It's better to be at home! Only then will the family really care about themselves.
To be sure, the police can't be blamed entirely. Telephone calls can only be made to the village committee of Lujiaoao Village, and only personnel can be relied on to inform Yutouao Village. For such an unimportant and non-urgent trivial matter, someone will not be sent to make a special trip.
In this way, there seems to be one more "crime" in Yutouao Village - poor communication! It's really hard!
Feeling the heat behind her husband, Gu Yuqin's face pretended to be casual, but her body trembled slightly with excitement: "Our family has already approved the contract for those mountains." It will be sent to the commune for approval in a few days. β
Li Yuan nodded, his mother Zhang Zhen's action is still very powerful. She should be afraid of long nights and dreams. Generally speaking, as long as the village committee approves such a thing, there is no problem, and the township's approval is nothing more than preparing a case.
Although more than ten years have passed, people here still use the old name and the new name together. The township is the commune, the village committee (administrative village) is the brigade, and the Yutouao village (natural village) is the production group.
"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, daytime." Gu Yuqin blushed and twisted her waist slightly, as if she was resisting the harassment of a certain man, but more like being coquettish, "Also, there are several families who want to partner up to sell herbs, and there are a lot of people looking for their mothers these days." β
"Qinqin, where did the rabbit come from?" Li Yuan doesn't care about this kind of parental shortcomings. Anyway, it's good to watch the women in the family have fun!
"Yongping and Yong'an next door sent it." Gu Yuqin was a little strange, "Isn't it your trick?" They said they caught two. β
"Oh. Hehe. Li Yuandu was about to forget about it. Thankfully...... Not very well. He has more than 30 sets and traps. Summer is indeed not a good season for hunting.
To be honest, more than ten days have passed since the wedding, and I still don't know much about Gu Yuqin's situation. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity to rest, the two happily chatted about some unnutritious words.
ββ¦β¦ My eldest brother and second brother don't like to study, and they haven't finished elementary school. The two nieces who made trouble are about to become wild children. Only I went all the way to junior high school. Hee-hee. β¦β¦ The sister-in-law is not bad, but she is a little stingy. Our family is not like your village, there are not many places to do side hustles. β¦β¦ The second brother is too honest, and the second sister-in-law is a shrewd person at first glance. I don't know if he'll suffer......"
Although it was a small talk, Li Yuan also learned a lot about Gu Yuqin's family.
For these rural children, dropping out of school early due to family reasons is indeed one of the main reasons. But the main reason is the inconvenience of transportation.
Rural children spend a few hours a day going to school; How many hours do the city kids spend every day going to cram school? Except for those super school tyrants with strange bones, how can they compete with the children in the city?
Gu Yuqin's family can support her until she finishes junior high school, which shows that she is still very favored.
Since the whole county here is a poor county, villages like Yutouao Village are relatively "wealthy", at least they are rich in products, and they don't have to worry about eating some good things.
Needless to say, the mountain people in the deep mountains are all a group of bitter haha. The villages outside the mountains are also more populated and less landed, and the involution is quite powerful. Any side hustle will be swarmed, and in the end, everyone will not be able to make money.
And no matter how bad Yutouao Village is, it can still give you a few barren mountains to toss casually.
Of course, later the mountain people in the deep mountains first moved to resettle outside the mountains. The villages outside the mountains have also developed slowly because of the convenient transportation. On the contrary, it is the periphery of a big mountain like Yutouao Village, which suddenly becomes very embarrassing.
"Well, before I go to the capital, it's time to buy you a few new clothes."
Gu Yuqin's figure is also good, with a height of 1.65 meters, which can be regarded as a clothes rack. Even if she is wearing a coarse shirt and cloth shoes now, it is difficult to hide her pretty.
Gu Yuqin's heart was sweet, and she weakly refused: "No need, right?" I also have a lot of new clothes to dowry. Or rip you a new dress, you have to do things outside later. β
"Of course I do." Li Yuan didn't say much. After going to the capital, you definitely need to prepare a few sets of formal clothes. It's like wearing a tunic when you get married? Or did his father Li Guodong stay?
"Then I'll do it for you. Now there are more places to spend money at home. β
"There's no shortage of that money. Forget it. "When the time comes, just buy it home first, will your little daughter-in-law not like it?
"Yuanzi, I just want to have a safe and stable home, and it's very good now." Gu Yuqin looked satisfied, "Do you have to go to the capital?" I was a little scared. Will the people in the city bully us? β
"Are you going to be scared when you go to the capital? What should I do when I go to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and foreign countries in the future? Li Yuan joked.
"Yuanzi, don't scare me. Hee-hee. Gu Yuqin really thought that Li Yuan was joking, and didn't care about these illusory words at all, "I heard that everything is expensive there, and my family's money is not spent." β
"Oh? How much money have you hidden? β
"I won't tell you. Hey, hey, hey......"
ββ¦β¦β
β¦β¦
"Brother, sister-in-law, let's play together!" Li Yunyun rushed in.
"Yunyun, what are you playing?" Gu Yuqin just hung the hare on the pole. She still retains the heart of a child.
"Let's play poker!"
"Okay, go call the third child." Li Yuanle said.
After a while, Li Lanlan was reluctantly pulled out, with a hint of excitement in her eyes, but her mouth was disgusted: "Playing poker is so naΓ―ve, who likes to play." β
"That's just as well." Li Yuan deliberately said, "I just need to review my English. Playthings are demoralized! β
"Phew!" Li Lanlan immediately rolled up her sleeves, "Sister-in-law, I am with you, brother and Xiaosi." We're going to beat them up. β
"Uh-huh!" Gu Yuqin also clenched her little fists, "I will never let go of fate." Hee-hee. β
"Hehe, don't you two cry when the time comes?"
"We'll see! War! β
ββ¦β¦β
"Brother, why are you peeking at my cards again?"
"You can't afford to lose, can you? I'll allow you to throw in the towel, as long as you go to the yard and learn how to bark as a donkey. Hehe. β
"You're cheating. Eh, brother, you're still peeking at the cards? β
"Hehe, that proves I'm seeing normally. Who told you to play cards badly? β
"No, no, no. This doesn't count. β
"Huh."
ββ¦β¦β
