In the summer, when it is too hot, people in the countryside will make a pot of herbal tea every morning, which is boiled with some herbs that can be found everywhere in the mountains, which can quench the heat and thirst.

Every household drinks these.

The scolding in the kitchen disappeared imperceptibly when Gu Mingcheng came in.

Yu Xiaolan usually scolds the heavens and the earth, scolds the useless Gu Boss, scolds the two unconscious children, and scolds others...... But in front of Gu Mingcheng, she didn't dare to say a word.

Knowing that her stepson was back, she even restrained her temperament a lot.

I didn't see Yu Xiaolan come out to greet them, and Gu Mingcheng didn't care, talking to his daughter.

As long as there are treasure flowers, no matter what time it is, it will not be cold.

Baohua chirped: "Last time I came to my grandfather's house, my grandfather boiled eggs for me to eat, grandpa's eggs are delicious and fragrant, I will come next time." ”

Gu Mingcheng: "Is it so delicious?" ”

"Yes, this time I went to the county seat with my little aunt, I haven't been to my grandfather's house for a long time, and I don't know how many eggs my grandfather's house has."

Baoshan couldn't help but say, "You know how to eat!" ”

Baohua retorted: "Eggs are delicious, fried eggs are even more delicious, why don't I eat them?" ”

Seeing that the brother and sister were arguing over eggs, Chen Aifang said helplessly: "You can really quarrel anywhere and everything." ”

Gu Mingcheng protected the child, "Brothers and sisters have to be noisy and have a good relationship." ”

Chen Aifang glanced at him in disbelief, "You used to quarrel with Jiajia?" ”

"That's not true, Jia Jia is so much younger than me, and her body is weak, how dare I quarrel with her?"

Gu Yijia also said: "Big brother doesn't have time to quarrel with me." ”

In the memory of the original owner, Gu Mingcheng was really too busy, busy earning money to support his sister, and it was so hard every day, in his sister's eyes, where was he willing to quarrel with him?

Gu Mingyue stood aside, like an outsider, listening to their family talking, and couldn't interject at all.

She was embarrassed and uncomfortable, especially when she heard Gu Mingcheng's sentence that "brothers and sisters have to be noisy and quarrelsome to be in good relationships," and felt that he meant that he and he were not brothers and sisters, so he didn't even bother to talk to him.

But she really regarded him as her own brother, hoping that he would be her brother, and she always wanted to be close to him. From childhood to adulthood, he only had Gu Yijia in his eyes, and he couldn't see himself at all.

Boss Gu came out of the kitchen with clean tea and poured tea for them.

Hearing his granddaughter's words, he said lovingly: "Baohua likes to eat eggs, and I will take them back later. After a pause, he looked at Gu Yijia again, "Also make up for Jiajia's body." ”

Gu Yijia's expression was faint, and he said thank you, and then stopped talking.

She has the memory of the original owner and knows what it was like for Boss Gu to be a father.

Since that incident, Boss Gu has felt ashamed of the original owner, and he cares a lot about the original owner, but no amount of guilt can hide that he is more partial to his younger son over the years.

Perhaps in his eyes, the youngest son is younger than the youngest daughter, and of course he must be close to the younger son.

However, he didn't want to think about it, his daughter was born prematurely and was weak, and he needed to take care of his youngest son, Gu Minghui, who was raised by Yu Xiaolan to be as fat as a pig.

Every time Yu Xiaolan said that her son was still young and needed to eat more delicious food, Boss Gu would remain silent, and Yu Xiaolan would feed her younger son the eggs, nutritional products, and fine grains that should have been given to her daughter.

The original owner didn't complain about him, but he no longer treated him as a father.

Like her brother, the original owner only had her brother, sister-in-law, and two nephews and nieces in her heart, and they were her family, and the others were outsiders.

Over the years, Xu realized that he had done something wrong, and Boss Gu gradually felt guilty and wanted to make up for his eldest son and daughter.

It's a pity that Gu Mingcheng and the original owner don't need him to make up for it.

What if he wants to make amends? The original owner's body has long been destroyed, and he has been sick all the time, and he does not know how many sins he has suffered.

Over the years, the original owner couldn't do anything except go to school in the county seat.

And every time she goes to school, Chen Aifang rides a bicycle to the county seat every morning to let her live in the school, and then goes to the school to pick her up on the weekend, rain or shine.

If Chen Aifang can't spare time, he will also ask a trustworthy person to take the original owner to the county seat to go to school.

Boss Gu sat down and talked to his son, who rarely came home.

Gu Mingyue stood there stupidly, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to her, her expression was a little gloomy, and she turned around and went into the kitchen to help her mother with her work.

Yu Xiaolan was chopping vegetables, holding a kitchen knife, and the kitchen knife cut the cutting board aggressively.

It's very hard to look at.

Seeing her daughter come in, Yu Xiaolan snorted coldly: "What are you doing when you come in?" Don't go to accompany your good brother and sister? ”

Gu Mingyue said in disappointment: "Big brother is talking to Dad, Jiajia doesn't pay attention to me......"

In the past, when Gu Yijia came back, he would go back to the room with her to talk, but now Gu Yijia would rather sit there and listen to her brother and stepfather than ignore her.

Gu Mingyue was lost and uncomfortable.

Yu Xiaolan snorted, "That sick seedling is not blessed, what are you doing with her?" Be careful of being infected, and you will become unblessed. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "She's a demon lover, and if it weren't for her, would your reputation be ruined?" ”

Every time I think of the rumors that "sisters rob men," I get angry.

Fortunately, when the Jiang family had an accident, everyone's attention was diverted and they didn't mention it again.

Yu Xiaolan warned her, "In the future, you should stay away from her, and I should keep my eyes open when I look at men, and don't take a fancy to a labor prisoner who will be sent to the farm again!" ”

Speaking of Jiang Jinwang, Yu Xiaolan vomited badly in her heart.

She still thought that Jiang Jinwang was a good thing, but she didn't know that their family did such a thing, and almost affected her daughter, she really should eat peanuts, there is no good thing.

Gu Mingyue bit her lip, "Mom, can you not mention this?" ”

"What, that's uncomfortable?" Yu Xiaolan sneered, even if she was her own daughter, she laughed mercilessly, "Then Jiang Jinwang used to be Director Jiang, you can marry him if you want to." He is now a prisoner in re-education through labor and is going to be sent to a farm for re-education through labor, so do you want to follow him to the farm in the northwest to endure hardships? Can you bear this? ”

Gu Mingyue lowered her head and didn't speak.

"Okay, you were born to me, don't I understand you yet?" Yu Xiaolan said, "If he is still Director Jiang, you can't marry him too much, now, you should find another city person." There's no way I'm going to let you go to the Northwest Farm with a labor prisoner. I heard that the northwest is so desolate that there are not even a few people, let alone food or drink, and people who go there are afraid that they will not live for a few years......

At the end, she couldn't help but shudder.

As a native southerner, I can't imagine how harsh the climate and environment are on the Northwest Frontier.

When dinner was about to be ready, Gu Minghui came back.

It's summer vacation, and students are on vacation, and Gu Minghui is no exception.

A young man of his age is supposed to be able to help the family work and earn some work during the holidays. But Yu Xiaolan spoiled him and didn't let him work at all, so as soon as the summer vacation was over, Gu Minghui would play everywhere, and he would basically not be at home during the day, and he would not come back until dinner.

Seeing that so many people suddenly appeared in his house, Gu Minghui was stunned, and when he saw Gu Mingcheng sitting there, his expression froze, and he suddenly felt the urge to run out.

Gu Mingcheng said gently: "Minghui is back. ”

Gu Minghui rubbed over slowly and whispered, "Big brother, you're back." ”

"Sit down, come over for dinner." Gu Mingcheng said lightly.

Gu Minghui didn't even dare to let out a fart, so he obediently walked over, sat down next to his mother, and then buried his head in the rice.

Today's dish has a fragrant stir-fried pork, fried with rural mish, fragrant, especially with rice. Boss Gu specially asked someone to go to the town to buy the pork, just to invite his son and daughter to come over for dinner.

In the past, when Gu Minghui ate, he always put something delicious in his bowl first, regardless of others.

But at this moment, he didn't even dare to pick up a piece of meat.

Chen Aifang first sandwiched a few pieces of lean meat for her sister-in-law, then for her son and daughter, and finally for herself.

Gu Mingcheng was also not polite, seeing his daughter-in-law picking up vegetables for his sister and children, so he sandwiched a piece of meat to Gu Boss and said, "Dad, eat meat." ”

Boss Gu was so moved that his eyes were slightly moist, and he felt that this piece of meat was particularly fragrant.

Only Yu Xiaolan was about to die of anger.

She was reluctant to finish frying such a large piece of meat, but she could eat several meals after marinating. It was Boss Gu who said that it was rare for his son to come back, so he insisted on letting her fire them all.

She wanted to replenish her son and daughter's health, but at this dinner table, her son and daughter were not angry, and they didn't even dare to clip more vegetables, so they buried their heads in eating white rice and vegetables, which almost made her angry.

Yu Xiaolan also stretched out her chopsticks to grab meat for her son and daughter, and at the same time muttered: "Some people who don't work eat better than anyone else, and they eat for nothing......

Anyone with an ear can tell who she means by "certain people."

Gu Mingcheng raised his eyes and looked over, his eyes calm.

Although Yu Xiaolan was a little afraid of him, she thought that he was a member of the People's Liberation Army, and if the People's Liberation Army beat someone, it would be his stepmother, and if it was spread out, it would not be good for his reputation, and maybe even the troops would criticize him.

When you think about it, you don't have to be afraid.

Boss Gu opened his mouth, and was about to say something, when suddenly a snap sounded.

Chen Aifang smashed the chopsticks on the table and said with a cold face: "Aunt Yu, are you saying that Jiajia doesn't work and eats rice?" Do you want to say that if you don't work, you won't give Jiajia food? ”

After Gu Mingcheng went to serve as a soldier, Yu Xiaolan said to Gu Yijia like this, saying that the seven-year-old child could already help the family work, and if she didn't work, she wouldn't be fed.

Chen Aifang will always remember what her sister-in-law looked like when she got married.

I will always remember Yu Xiaolan defending herself, saying that if their family doesn't work, they won't have anything to eat, what's wrong with her letting her stepdaughter work?

Yu Xiaolan saw Gu Mingcheng looking at herself faintly, she was a little afraid, and argued strongly: "I, I didn't say anything about her...... And what's wrong with me saying that? We are in the countryside, which family is not like this, if you don't work, you won't have anything to eat......

As he spoke, he saw Chen Aifang suddenly stand up.

"What are you going to do?" Yu Xiaolan was startled, afraid that she would come over and beat herself.

Chen Aifang, a tigress, can beat people.

However, she guessed wrong, Chen Aifang didn't hit her, because she turned around and picked up the broom and hit Gu Minghui.

Gu Minghui screamed, jumped up, and shouted, "Sister-in-law, why are you beating me?" I didn't say anything about the second sister! ”

Chen Aifangpi said with a smile: "Didn't your mother say it?" You have never done any work since you were a child, but you have eaten so much, and even ate all the nutrients and fine grains that your brother sent to Jiajia, causing Jiajia to fall seriously ill, and you have not been in good health until now...... So Jiajia has become like this, the culprit is you, who will you fight if you don't beat you? ”

Saying that, Chen Aifang hit her head and face.

Gu Minghui naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to stand still and be beaten, he ran fast and ran into the yard, but Chen Aifang was a hard-working person, and he was also very fast, and he could hit people several times.

The broom crackled against the flesh, and when you heard the sound, you knew it hurt.

Seeing this chase, the whole yard was full of chickens and dogs, and Boss Gu hesitated a little, "Mingcheng ......"

Gu Mingcheng didn't seem to see it, continued to eat, and said: "Dad, there is a sentence that is right, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother!" When a mother doesn't care about her children, what's wrong with the eldest sister-in-law helping to take care of it? ”

This is clearly an accusation that Yu Xiaolan does not know how to take care of children.

When Yu Xiaolan saw her son being beaten, where could she still sit still, and screamed: "Don't beat my son!" Chen Aifang, why did you beat my son? ”
