Chapter 11 The long insight
After seeing it for a long time, Gu Wenxuan was amused when he returned to the room. I thought that there would be insomnia tonight. I never wanted to lie on the kang and fall asleep as soon as my eyes were closed.
In a daze, hearing the sound of someone walking and talking outside, Gu Wenxuan was still in a trance, thinking that he was still living in the villa, and he was thinking about who came to his house.
One of the bones got up, and immediately sobered up, it wasn't Haozi that they came. There are no wonders in the world, he has crossed, and he has crossed over to become ancients.
"I'm up, it's time to eat." Gu Erlang hugged his three-year-old son Xiaochang and walked around the yard, smiling at his younger brother who was disheveled.
Tuesday Lang had a faint smell of medicine, studied under Dr. Dong, and then was recommended to continue studying medicine and being a buddy at the uncle of the Huimin Medical Center in the town
At present, he has not officially graduated from school, but since he got married, in order to avoid his parents and daughter-in-law being angry at home, he still took the initiative to hand over 500 yuan per month.
As the eldest son of the second room, he has always protected his second brother and younger sister. At this moment, I was worried that my second brother was shy in his pocket, and he didn't dare to open his mouth if he wanted to buy something.
Gu Wenxuan came out of the thatched house in the backyard, listened to the words of the eldest brother who was holding his eldest nephew, and shook his head with a smile, "I have (money), not enough to look for you again." ”
"Okay." Gu Erlang stuffed his son to the second brother, "Don't wipe your face, your sister-in-law is not a calculating character, and besides, my brother has saved it himself." ”
"Did we hear that? Remember to learn from your mother, your father hid a lot of private money. Gu Wenxuan teasingly picked up his eldest nephew and weighed it.
Good guy, worthy of being a hunter, there is also a foreigner who breeds Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the milk fat, it is really difficult for the Zhuang family to raise this fat doll.
"Don't say it, there's meat to eat."
Holding the fat doll who covered his mouth with his little fat hand and shook his head again and again, Gu Wenxuan took a step away from the thatched house, and only then did he have time to look at the courtyard of the Gu family.
The backyard is not small.
In addition to thatched houses, cowsheds, pigsties, and chicken coops and duck coops next to the courtyard wall, occupying almost half of the backyard, there is also a large vegetable garden.
Return to the front yard from the west side of one of the east-west sandwich lanes. There are five main houses in a row of blue brick houses, and three rooms on the east and west sides.
There are two rooms on the landlord's side for the elderly and four rooms, and two rooms on the west side for the big house. The east wing of the earthen house with tiled roof is a two-bedroom residence, and the west wing opposite is a three-bedroom house.
Gu Erlang hurried back to the front yard and saw Gu Wenxuan looking thoughtfully at the wings on both sides, "Worried about getting married in front of Wulang, the third uncle and the third aunt are not happy?" ”
"It's not." Gu Wenxuan also learned from him and whispered, "I'm thinking about Gorou's age, Shiro will get married again next month, and he shouldn't choose which house to choose for the new house." ”
Grandma's four sons have their own residences, and they seem to be very fair, but the heirs are prosperous, and the grandchildren are at the age of marrying a wife, and the room is still very tight.
In the early years, the children were young and couldn't see that the third uncle was honest, and the third aunt would rather squeeze her two daughters and two sons, and curry favor with the big house and take the initiative to give up a room in the west wing.
But this year, with Shiro Obo getting married on the sixth day of the next month, where is the wedding room booked? The main house can't be crowded, so naturally I want to live in the south room of the west wing for a long time.
It's just that their eldest son, Goro, has also reached the age of marrying a wife, and some time ago he muttered a lot about this, and this good third aunt also decided to hit his brother's room.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was made crying by his mother, who made this fake smart know that his mother did not please his mother-in-law, and in order to please the eldest aunt, he choked her mother enough.
Of course, Gu Erlang knew that what his brother was referring to was not Shiro occupying three rooms and one room, but that the grandchildren below were waiting to marry a wife one by one, and the old man was still not separated?
"Uncle, Uncle."
Gu Wenxuan understood.
The old man loves the eldest son and grandson deeply, but he has not much ability, so he can only support the eldest son and grandson by squeezing other children and grandchildren for decades.
The uncle was forty years old, and took the initiative to give up the imperial examination and find a job as a bookkeeper. Nowadays, it is a tael of silver a month, but it is not easy to provide for a scholar.
Thinking of the lobby brother who has studied for many years in his memory, he is not as good as the uncle, Gu Dalang has already married a wife and had children, and he is supported by a large family.
No wonder his father, as the son who contributed the most to the family, had the worst reputation, but he was really helpless.
When his mother fled with her family, if it weren't for his father's cheekiness and trickery, the second elder would have been willing to get a higher bride price than ordinary girls.
Later, when the eldest brother reached the age of marrying a wife, it was not his father who took out the bride price from the second elder, and he couldn't find a suitable eldest wife as he wished if he used private money to make up for it.
To understand the twists and turns in this, it is not difficult to understand that in his memory, his father often operates like a god, and he really doesn't fight or rob, and even his grandson has to help Changfang die.
Main house.
Presentation of the word "Pin", three tables.
At the top, an old man in his fifties and sixties with a beard on his chin and no patches although he was wearing coarse cloth clothes was Gu Qingsen, the old man who was the head of the family.
Like his four sons, there are very few people in the village who call his name, but the nickname Miki is remembered deeply, and those who don't know it think that his surname is Mu.
On both sides and opposite sat the three sons who were at home, and it was one of the family rules that he set down for the eight immortals at the table except for the eldest grandson and the guests, and the rest of the grandchildren could not sit without their consent.
The female relatives of the family eat directly in the stove room without special circumstances, and Mrs. Gu, who is the only one present, holds the power of food in the family, and even asks her to share the food herself.
This morning, I ate corn nest and sweet potato porridge that showed the figure of a person. Adult males have two nests, minors over the age of 10 are halved, and then a bowl of sweet potato porridge is young.
Waiting for Old Man Gu to pick up the chopsticks, the others began to eat. Originally, he paid attention to food when eating, but the Gu family was not a big family, and this family rule had already been broken.
Listening to the whispers of the cousins at the two tables, Gu Wenxuan was even more interested on the side, and casually picked up the nest head he was assigned to take a bite, and almost choked to death.
He is a young parent, but he has a few uncles to help him, no matter how poor the ravines and ravines, it is difficult to say that there is meat in the meal, and he has never eaten this kind of thing.
Even when the famine was at its worst a few years ago, when the food was exhausted, he and Banxia had no children to bear, they dared to think and do, and the materials exchanged were the best.
Who would have thought that the days would be more and more primitive. Gu Wenxuan hurriedly picked up the bowl and drank the sweet potato porridge in a few sips before swallowing the wowotou.
The food that everyone here was originally not much, and no matter how much they cherished it, it was soon gone. After a large family of men finished eating, they didn't even have to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Gu Wenxuan deliberately paid attention to it, and after the meal, it was indeed cleaned up by the ladies in each room who were on duty that day, but it did not mean that the other ladies could be idle.
It's not been a day, and I don't know what to do in the afternoon. To be seen by his wife, she dares to marry Zhou Banxia? You still have to trick people into the door as soon as possible.
