Chapter 13 Where are your parents
Like other families in the village, lighting lamps costs money. Dinner time must be eaten before dark all year round. Mrs. Gu is even less likely to make this mistake.
Seeing the eldest daughter-in-law who was on duty today come out of the kitchen, she began to announce that dinner was ready. It's just that where did the second brother and the others go? They first went to the backyard to go to the hut, but they were still at home.
"Baoya, where are your parents?"
When Gu Baoya saw that Mrs. Gu deliberately lowered her voice, she also covered her mouth and whispered back: "Dad and brother went to the patriarch's house to invite the patriarch's grandma."
This thief's son definitely wants his aunt to be a matchmaker when she comes to hire someone tomorrow. His uncle, the patriarch, will also come forward, and his second daughter-in-law, Jin Gui, will also come forward.
Last time Erlang and Sanlang got married together, it was so difficult. Fortunately, this time everyone learned from the previous lesson and invited the eldest sister-in-law before giving Shiro a betrothal gift.
Otherwise, it would be troublesome again. This son of a thief, once he comes out, there is nothing he can't do. He is like a piece of meat on a hob, and beating him is in vain.
It's better for my son, who has been obedient since he was a child. It's not like these three sons were born to be angry with her. The more they were not allowed to do something, the more they acted against her!
Now that she knew her whereabouts, Mrs. Gu didn't bother to ask her granddaughter what gift she was bringing to her uncle's house. After asking too many questions, the daughters-in-law overheard another lawsuit on their foreheads.
Having many sons is a blessing, but having a daughter-in-law is still a blessing?
Bah, I have endless worries.
How good is it to think of working so hard without even being read by your daughter-in-law?
Damn old man, I won’t let you separate your family!
Mr. Gu was glared at by his old wife and thought to himself that it was inexplicable! I glanced around the hall full of children and grandchildren, and my heart suddenly changed, "Where are the second brother and the others? What are they doing?"
"Second uncle, he..."
"Here we come, dad!" Gu Erzhu shouted loudly, interrupting some of his talkative nephews to reply, and then quickly walked into the main room, "How about having a daughter? There will be meat to eat."
"I just know how to eat."
Gu Wenxuan, who followed after him, almost couldn't help but burst into laughter and called out to his grandparents, waiting for his father to sit down at the Eight Immortals table in front and then exchange his usual words.
"Then what else can you do besides eating?" Gu Erzhu quickly reached out to pick up the plate in front of his father. When he was about to be hit on the back of his hand with a chopstick by his mother, he immediately retracted, "I'm sure your son can't read." One, otherwise I can make poetry and wine for you just like my elder brother. It would be an unfilial son.”
Gu Laosan hurriedly pulled the second brother secretly under the table, indicating that it was almost done and not to really make his father angry; on the other side, Gu Laosi looked at the second brother amusedly.
"Second child."
"Here! Mom, you eat meat." Gu Erzhu stopped when he saw that he was ready, and quickly picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food for Mrs. Gu. Tsk, what about meat? Forget it, pig waste is also meat.
My sister-in-law is good at knife skills. She is indeed my niece. Even with such a pig in the water and the pot, I can't find a slightly larger piece.
"Are you ready with the letter of appointment and everything?"
ah?
Are you talking to me?
Gu Erzhu suspected that his father was doing it on purpose. He had just managed to get a slightly larger piece when his father suddenly asked.
"Asking you."
Swallow it first before talking, waste will be punished by God. Gu Erzhu nodded heavily, "Uncle knew that my eldest brother was not at home and time was tight, so he helped us prepare."
"I am determined."
Gu Erzhu didn't know who he was referring to, but Quan should be referring to his uncle. If you really can't fight, I will still be my father.
If his father was not biased, his father would be shrewd, and everyone would have to stay calm; only his father would know that a bowl of water is not level, so he would give in. “Have you chosen an auspicious date to get married?”
"No, even my fifth uncle said that the two children are a perfect match. He picked three auspicious days, one of which is the sixth day of next month. Let's wait and see what the in-laws say tomorrow."
It would save a lot of trouble if he and Shiro could hold the wedding together. Mr. Gu nodded secretly, there is nothing his bastard son can't do if he puts his mind to it.
"Third brother, why don't you hurry up and let your wife see the woman in the photo?"
Gu Laosan didn't expect that he was also called by name. He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously went to find his wife. Then he remembered that the female family members were eating in the kitchen, not in the main room.
"Why are you looking at Wulang?" Look, he is the best second brother in the world! Gu Erzhu helped his third brother out of the siege in time, "Our father just wants Wu Lang to marry a wife as soon as possible."
Get off the table.
This is the table where Gu Wenxuan is sitting. Several cousins, including those who were studying in the village school when they were young, winked at Wu Lang, who suddenly turned red.
Looking at Shiro who was busy eating opposite him, his face was red at this moment and he lowered his head to gnaw on the steamed buns. He wished that no one would mention him, and his whole body was about to shrink into a shrimp.
Gu Wenxuan glanced at Wulang's red face thoughtfully, and thought to himself, no wonder he always felt something was wrong before. Yes, he didn't blush when someone teased him!
Can't really blame him.
No matter how young you are, your mentality is completely different. Thinking back to that time, when he went to the county town to set up a stall for the first time to sell goods, he was so embarrassed that his whole face burned.
"It's sooner rather than later. We should be able to make a reservation before the year, and see if we can get married early before next year's spring plowing. Otherwise, Liu Lang is already married, and it won't sound good if it's revealed."
look!
Coming!
Listen!
Before, the second son of his family had not gotten married yet, so it was just that the first son was married first, and the third son was immediately hired. If he hadn't reacted quickly, Erlang would have been behind Sanlang.
He just said that I am still his father! Gu Erzhu couldn't help laughing, and while putting down his chopsticks to get a bowl of soup, he thought about saving some face for the old man in front of his children and grandchildren.
"It just so happens that your eldest brother will be back in two days. Dad wants to see if he can pay the monthly payment in advance. He has more than one tael a month, so he doesn't worry about not being able to raise five taels."
Gu Erzhu glanced at Lao Tzu, who always defended his eldest brother, and then glanced at his fourth son. Sure enough, the fourth child, who was a pee-wetting boy, kept his head down while drinking soup, so he was not afraid of wetting the bed again.
Look, the only one who can be deceived by the old man is the third child. The third child was about to say, "Dad, no need. Dalang is still in school. It's not easy for him. I'll go to the town to see if there is any work."
"Dad, no need..."
Shut up, you idiot! "Cough cough cough..." Gu Erzhu accidentally choked himself, "Third brother, be obedient and follow our father's arrangements.
If you really can’t get it all together, you don’t need the eldest brother to pay the monthly fee. The second brother and I can help the eldest brother make the decision now. All the favors received on the day of Shiro’s wedding will belong to you. ”
The son's words were too fast. When Mrs. Gu reacted, she wanted to slap the thief son to death. At the same time, she still kept an eye on my mother's money bag!
Looking at the two elders who were angry at any time, Gu Wenxuan quickly stood up and said, "Everyone, please take it easy. Have you eaten enough? I want you to help me find out what I'm missing tomorrow."
"Being a father is not easy." Gu Erzhu sighed and patted Gu Wulang's shoulder as he passed by the table. He retracted his hand and quickly pushed the shoulder of his old son, who was waiting for him, out of the hall.
Ran away?
Just ran away!
