When he saw off the guests, what Xu Huaiyi saw when he entered the house was that his daughter-in-law was holding the kid in his arms, and the picture was more intimate and touching than before.

Instantly woke up the little wine he drank, "What are you doing?" Why do you hug and hug at every turn? Gu Xiaoyu, how old are you, do you still know what the difference between men and women is? ”

Gu Xiaoyu raised his face, but his body was still in Gu Huanxi's arms and did not move, his eyes were still red, his voice was hoarse, but his tone was brisk, "This is my mother." ”

Therefore, there is no need to pay attention to the difference between men and women.

Xu Huaiyi choked, couldn't help but stepped forward to pull him, was slapped by Gu Huanxi, and warned coldly, "What kind of skill do you have with a child?" ”

Xu Huaiyi complained sadly, "He is five years old. ”

"Didn't you say before that you didn't sit at the age of seven?"

"......" Xu Huaiyi has no way to take his daughter-in-law, so he can only squeeze Gu Xiaoyu, "Boy, even if this is your mother, as a man, you can't be greasy and crooked in your mother's arms, so what's the point?" There is a curse saying, long in the hands of women, do you want to become a waste in the future? ”

Gu Xiaoyu was not angry, and only gave him a look of self-experience.

Xu Huaiyi's body stiffened suddenly, and he reacted, "What's that, daughter-in-law ......"

Gu Huanxi didn't wait for him to argue, he already asked with a sneer, "It's better than a woman's hand, it's a curse?" It's bound to be a waste? After that, will you be able to raise all your children? ”

Xu Huaiyi immediately shook his head like a rattle, "I was wrong, daughter-in-law, I generalized from partiality, no, it is an outdated ideology, who said that women are inferior to men?" Women are more talented than men, such as you, you are a hundred times stronger than me, the children you have raised must all have a good future, I will not hold back, hehehe......"

Gu Huanxi snorted.

Xu Huaiyi hurriedly sat down and pinched her shoulders, that flattering gesture made Gu Xiaoyu suddenly think of some flattering ministers in the court, and there was no discipline at all.

At this time, Ah Li woke up and waved his arms with a hum.

Gu Xiaoyu grabbed her little hand familiarly, she suddenly became well-behaved, her eyes were in his direction, clear and bright as glass, flashing with a happy smile, and her mouth was babbling and singing.

Gu Xiaoyu curled the corners of her lips, and her eyes were unconsciously soft.

When Xu Huaiyi saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel sour again.

Gu Huanxi couldn't see his childish old father's appearance, and asked about serious things, "Have you discussed the results?" ”

Xu Huaiyi nodded, and shook his head again, "I just have a preliminary plan, but it has not been finalized, there are still variables, in my opinion, they will not give up until the last step." ”

Gu Huan said unhappily, "But if you wait until that step to go, it will be too late, not only will the difficulty increase, but also the danger will increase, and at that time, the price you will pay will be greater." ”

Xu Huaiyi said gloomily, "I broke all these truths and told them them, but they ...... I don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin, I have to hit the south wall to turn back, what can I do? ”

Gu Huanxi said lightly, "Then let's go first." ”

"Huh?" Xu Huaiyi was stunned, "Don't you wait for them to be together?" ”

Gu Huanxi glanced at him and said calmly, "It's not that you can't wait, isn't it that you can't wait?" Could it be that if we become them, we will have to spend it until the last minute? Obviously, you can leave easily, but you have to toss to the point of difficulty? I have no enmity with myself, why can't I get along with myself, let go of a good life, and find guilt all the way? ”

"But, daughter-in-law......" Xu Huaiyi scratched his head, "Didn't you say before that it would be better to walk together with more people?" When we arrive in the capital, we will not be excluded and bullied alone. ”

"I said that, but now it's not like they won't go? Then we can't take care of too much, the lesser of the two trade-offs, we have done what we should do, and we are not sorry for them. ”

Xu Huaiyi's expression was entangled, and he stopped talking.

Gu Huanxi didn't see it, and began to pick people, "Don't pestle here, the smell of wine on your body is bad to death, hurry up and wash it off, from tomorrow onwards, you will be busy." ”

When Xu Huaiyi left, he pulled Gu Xiaoyu by the way, and the two of them washed in the simple shed in the backyard, but now that water is scarce, they are reluctant to take a shower, so they only wipe it after wetting it with a handkerchief.

Xu Huaiyi asked in a low voice, "Xiaoyu, do you think I and your mother just now, who is right?" ”

Gu Xiaoyu said without hesitation, "Mother is right. ”

Xu Huaiyi choked up, and asked unconvinced, "What's wrong with walking together?" There are many people with great strength, and they also have a foil on the road, and when they get to the place, they also have a support, and besides, they are not unwilling to go, they just want to wait and see for a few more days......"

Gu Xiaoyu said, "You are reluctant to leave them, right?" ”

Xu Huaiyi said weakly, "It's not that I'm reluctant, I don't have much close relationship with them, I just think that in the end, it's a village, and it's too ruthless to do it." ”

Gu Xiaoyu said calmly, "But they don't appreciate it, they can't affect themselves for the sake of others, of course, if you are the head of a village, the order of a county, the lord of a city, you do this, there is no problem, it is your responsibility, it is your responsibility to abandon your own people, it is your dereliction of duty, but now?" What is your position on them? ”

Xu Huaiyi was speechless.

Gu Xiaoyu continued, "It's right that you are kind, but if you want to divide people and time, your mother will be more sober than you." ”

"You kid, who are you stepping on?" Xu Huaiyi pretended to be displeased and flicked his forehead, "If you are a father, you can't be righteous?" Can't you be compassionate? ”

"In fact, you have a pure heart."

Suddenly praised, Xu Huaiyi was stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he laughed with a mouthful of big white teeth, "Even if you have a vision, that's right, this is the heart of a son for a father, so whenever there is still a chance, I don't want to give up for my father, and when I am helpless, my father can at least have a clear conscience." ”

Gu Xiaoyu said "um".

Xu Huaiyi asked again, "Then do you still think it's your mother?" ”

"Of course."

"Hey, didn't you just praise me for being a child?"

Gu Xiaoyu said lightly, "These are two different things, you rely on emotion, but my mother uses reason to judge, emotion, it seems to be affectionate, but the variables are too big, and the judgment made by reason seems to be ruthless, but it is correct." ”

Xu Huaiyi, "......"

In the final analysis, he is still on his daughter-in-law's side.

He smacked his head angrily, "You little traitor! ”

Obviously, he brought him home, but now, he has completely become the son of his daughter-in-law, and he has become a stepfather.

In the next few days, he didn't mention persuading others to escape the famine, just take care of his own preparations, grind the purchased grain into powder, and fry the pork into an oily meat jar after pickling, and the vegetables can be dried up, and the pickles can be pickled if they can't be dried, and the beans for rice are also made, and from time to time I go to Liu Shishi's house to see the progress of the carriage, in short, every day is busy, giving the village a feeling, It's just that he's in a hurry to leave.
