In ancient times, people knew what it meant to see fellow villagers with tears in their eyes.

Xu Ling traveled south and north outside, and understood the gold content of the phrase "meeting old acquaintances in other places". Just like he asked someone to send money to his family before, the priority must be a neighbor, but he has no experience and finds someone he doesn't know.

But many of the businessmen who travel together outside are mostly from the same village, and they know each other well and can trust each other.

Just like a scumbag like the original owner in the past, he had a bad reputation in the village, and he didn't see anyone in the village arguing to kill him.

It's not that all the people in the village have such a good relationship, and there are also those who quarrel and don't get along, but most of them can get by on face, and when the door is closed, who knows what gossip is.

Xu Ling was reminded by Li Dayuan.

If he wants to make his business bigger in the future, he must always have someone to help him, and it is better for him to choose outsiders who don't know the roots, or to choose neighbors who know the roots.

Fools know which one to choose.

But now it's too early to say that he wants to find a neighbor to help him do business.

Xu Ling returned home with a group of children and poured the lotus root into a wooden basin by the pool, which was borrowed from the Gu family.

There was no water at home, so Xu Ling went to the village well to fetch water, thinking that when the new house was built, he would spend money to hire someone to dig a well at home, and save him from going far away from home, and the women and children at home would have to worry about fetching water.

When he came back after picking up water, Gu Zhen and Liu were washing the mud on the lotus root, Gu Litian was sitting on the threshold drinking water and resting, and Gu Daliang stood aside to watch the excitement.

ridiculed Xu Ling: "You went to dig all morning, and you came back from digging like this?" ”

"That's a lot, enough to eat at noon!" Gu Zhen understood what his brother meant, and protected Xu Ling and explained: "He hasn't dug before, I still remember the first time you went to dig lotus root with our father, it was not as much as he dug it!" ”

Xu Ling poured the water into the water urn, turned around and smiled: "It's still my daughter-in-law who is good to me and knows to say good things to me." ”

Gu Daliang was unconvinced, "How old was I at that time, how old was he?" ”

The people in the courtyard laughed.

After Xu Ling finished pouring the water, he walked to Gu Zhen and asked her to flush her feet with the water she had used to wash her feet.

Gu Yu's thin white hands were warm, helping him wipe the mud off his calves, and a smile appeared on his demure face.

Li Cuicui also protected her man, and said with a smile: "Okay, my little sister protects her man, so she will make fun of my man." If you want me to say, when you have time, let them dig again, and compare to see who digs more! ”

"This is a good idea, dig more and come back, I just cleared out the pickle jar at home, I am worried that I don't know what pickled side dishes, go back and pickle some sour lotus root for you, it is refreshing to eat in winter!" Liu also smiled.

Fan Shiqing listened to it and snorted, "This is good, this is good, eat radish in autumn and lotus root in winter, dig more and come back!" ”

Xu Ping and Xu An also pleaded with their two elder brothers, and the courtyard was filled with a lively atmosphere for a while.

Gu Litian also had a smile on his face, "When the time comes, I will lead you two together, you two are still too young to know how to dig." ”

Xu Ling naturally responded.

In addition to pickling the lotus root into sour lotus, the lotus root that was dug back can also be tuned up and waited for him to try to make lotus root powder when he is free, and it can also be shipped out to sell, which is not too little.

At noon, there are still four dishes and one soup, with fish and pork ribs, and two dishes of fried tofu with green vegetables.

The oil is the lard that Xu Ling bought back and boiled into oil residue, and the fried vegetables are also very fragrant.

After eating and resting for a while, the workers began to work again.

The food provided by the Xu family is good, and they can't be sorry for their work.

On the sixth day of his return, Xu Ling was going out to sell vegetables, and the excuse he made for his family was that there was a batch of goods in Lingbao Town that he didn't know if they had been sold, and he would be able to come back in about two days.

Although the family was reluctant, they also knew that he couldn't go.

Early in the morning, Gu Yu got up to make meat patties for him, boiled eight eggs, and packed them in a bag for him to eat on the road.

"Be careful on the road, don't get into a dispute with anyone." Gu Yu helped Xu Ling pack his bags and handed them to him reluctantly.

Xu Ling wanted to kiss her, but when he saw the big girl staring at her with big eyes, he smiled, hugged Gu Zhen's waist, and kissed her on the cheek.

"When our new house is built, let our mother take care of the children."

These days, he was sure of Gu Yu's heart for him, and he also knew that it was only a matter of time before the two of them got along.

If you want to say that you have accepted it, you have accepted it a long time ago, but you don't know how it will be in practice.

No matter how itchy Xu Ling is, there is a small light bulb next to him.

The bed is small, the baby is not big or small, and I may have remembered. Xu Ling is thick-skinned, and he can't be serious.

Gu Yu's face was slightly red, and he glanced at him with disdain, which went straight to Xu Ling's bones.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Listen up!

His daughter-in-law is enlightened! Xu Ling's heart was restless, and he couldn't wait for the new house to be built as soon as possible, so he kissed Gu Ling's little face again, "I'll go and come back quickly, you have worked hard at home, let Xu Ping and Xu An do it, let them do it, don't take anything to heart about our mother." ”

Gu Zhen's face was smeared with the balm he brought back, with a faint floral fragrance, which smelled very good, and his skin was like clotted fat.

In contrast, Xu Ling's hands and face were rough like a real man.

Gu Yi was relieved, she didn't know how happy she was living now, Xu Ling was rare to her, and her mother-in-law was much better to her than before, not to mention Xu Ping and Xu An.

In the final analysis, a woman's status in her in-law's family can very well explain her man's attitude towards her from the side.

Xu Ling bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard, and several times Xu Ling saw that she was making things difficult for Gu Yu in every way, and after talking about her a few times, Xu reluctantly changed his attitude.

It's just that he can't completely change for a while, and he often takes advantage of no one to blow the wind on Xu Ling.

muttered that Gu Ling's stomach hadn't moved until now, and he didn't say that he would give Xu Ling a son.

Xu Ling was also speechless, he and Gu Ji held hands at most, kissed their faces, and slept on the same bed, if Gu Ji's stomach really moved, he probably had to consider whether there was a grassland blooming above his head.

However, Xu Ling also knows that wanting to change a person's mind is not an overnight thing.

Now he cherishes Gu Yu, and his father-in-law's family is kind to him, and he always gives his father-in-law face.

No matter how stupid the Xu family is, he will not guard against Gu Yi as he did before.

After talking to Gu Ling for a while, hearing Xu's impatient footsteps outside and the sound of deliberate coughing, Gu Zhen couldn't help but laugh and asked Xu Ling to hurry out.

"If you don't go out again, I guess my mother will come in to look for you."

Xu Shi only has three children in her mind.

As soon as Xu Ling went out with his burden, Xu Shi greeted him and stuffed him with a pair of thick-soled cloth shoes, which were layered on the outside, and they were thick to the touch.

"Ah Ling, when you go out, you must be careful, don't let your mother worry, your mother made the shoes for you overnight, don't freeze on the road!"

Xu Ling clenched Xu's dry and cold hand, and his heart was moved.

"Mother, my son knows!"
