Chapter 499 Lively Evening
In the study outside the front yard, Gu Erzhu, Zhou Shun, Ma Dazhuang, and Gu Wenxuan were chatting about home affairs, but were stopped by the laughter in the backyard.
A moment.
Hearing that his wife was taking the lead in joking around in the backyard, Ma Dazhuang thought, "My Huniu has a lot of mothers and fathers, and she can only chat with your wife."
"This is the advantage of us living close together. We often get to know each other's personalities, and our friendship becomes deeper. Even if we are not a family, we will become a family."
Well, Zhou Changshun, you took my words away. Gu Erzhu smiled and nodded, "In the final analysis, I have the discernment to choose a good family for my two sons."
This is a pleasant remark.
Although Gu Erzhu did not forget to praise himself as well, it still made Ma Dazhuang and Zhou Shunshun laugh loudly, but felt unhappy.
Chatting and laughing, what's the point of just sitting and drinking tea? Before it gets dark, the three of them decided to serve good wine, good food, and a hot pot.
The Gu family's mutton-shabu-shabu, from the bottom of the pot to the dipping ingredients, is now top-notch. Unlike Zhou Shun, Ma Dazhuang has been craving for it for some time.
Gu Erzhu was not at home before. He thought that as a grown man, he was different from his daughter-in-law. He would definitely not be able to visit his daughter and grandson.
But whether it was a ready-made hot pot, or the pot base and dipping sauce, even if his wife packed it and took it home, it somehow tasted different.
Now the food was served. Without waiting for Gu Erzhu to say hello, Ma Dazhuang picked up a chopstick of mutton roll and put it in the hot copper charcoal pot soup to blanch it.
Then he dipped the two small plates in front of him with the dipping sauce and put it in his mouth. Before he could swallow it, he mumbled and sighed that it tasted like this.
Gu Erzhu was amused, thinking what was different, the mutton still came from the Majia breeding farm, but the tofu skin and bean sprouts were more delicious than the mutton slices.
Zhou Shun has similar tastes to him now. Even Zhou Shun himself never dreamed that one day he would eat meat again.
The two of them were afraid that Ma Dazhuang would get tired of eating too much mutton, so while chatting while eating, they did not forget to give Ma Dazhuang a bite of their favorite food.
They were chatting and laughing, and there was no one to disturb them. The three of them were eating and drinking happily, and no one knew that their respective wives were having a drink together in the backyard.
And when Gu Wenxuan, who left to visit Zhou Xiucai and his classmates at the village school and brought his brother-in-law Xiaohe home, it was already getting late.
At the wine table in the front yard, there were not only the three of Gu Erzhu's family, but also Gu Erlang, Gu Sanzhu and Gu Laosi. As for the backyard?
The liveliness was not inferior to that of the front yard. Before he could step through the Moon Gate, adults were laughing and children were screaming. It was truly astonishing.
After walking a few steps, the laughter became even louder. What was rare was that he could still hear his wife's laughter. I wonder who made his wife laugh out loud this time.
Good guy, there is a room full of old ladies, aunts, wives, little girls, and furry babies. No wonder his wife came to join in the fun.
Gu Wenxuan held his brother-in-law's little hand and greeted them one by one. After calling everyone, he left his brother-in-law behind and replaced his wife with his wife, exiting the main hall and returning to the west wing.
"Why is the old lady here? It's not that she's lying on the kang because she feels a little uncomfortable, or that her parents went to invite her and the old man to our house for dinner again?"
"It's almost like the elder brother came back and went to the old home to check the old lady's pulse. Then I don't know how to fix it, but the old lady was dragged back by the elder brother alone."
Gu Wenxuan shook his head and smiled, "It scared me. Brother, please be careful. If you have a cold, your resistance is weak now, so you can't get close."
"I will naturally be careful about this, but I didn't pay attention for a moment. There are two other mothers. They are more nervous than you, not to mention the eldest sister is here." When Zhou Daya was mentioned, Zhou Banxia subconsciously glanced out the window, "The eldest sister will come in the evening When I was thinking about my third month of pregnancy, I talked about a lot of taboos
She and my mother thought I didn't understand anything, and they taught me their experience separately, which almost embarrassed me to death. Fortunately, the old lady came.
When she came, I was just going to say hello, so I escaped. But I didn't expect that only the old lady would come. Why didn't the old man come with me? ”
Gu Wenxuan's heart moved, "Does it mean that we can have sex now?"
"...You know too much." Zhou Banxia held up his forehead, "Hurry up, the food is almost cold, why did it take so long to come back?"
"Look at how you changed the topic, you are not good at talking, wife." Gu Wenxuan said with a smile and quickly took off his robe, "I was held back by a few classmates and sat there for a while.
I originally invited them to have a meal at home, but they couldn't help being polite and refused to come. Then they just chatted with the village school.
Xiaohe was also studying in the village. Your uncle happened to take the exam for him, so the rest of us just learned about the past and learned new things, so we came back late. ”
In fact, it wasn't very late. It gets dark quickly in winter, making it seem later than usual. Zhou Banxia also asked casually, but Gu Wenxuan unexpectedly explained it in detail.
"As for why the old lady came alone, if I guess correctly, the old lady and the old man should have a fight this time.
They had a quarrel before, and if they lost the argument, the old lady would take a change of clothes and go back to her parents' house..."
Know.
I heard what you said, the old lady will bring the money box back to her parents' house. If the old man doesn't give in, she won't come back. Even if he invites his son, it won't work.
Very brave.
"...Now that my parents are still alive, it's hard to go back. I'm sulking and lying on the kang unable to get up. My eldest brother happened to give me some steps.
If she doesn't come down, after all, her mother-in-law's family has caused a scandal, and it's hard to take back the face. But she has been forced to submit to the old man for the rest of her life. If she can't, what is she afraid of?
This is the confidence that comes from having many children and filial piety. Oda doesn't dare to do it. Even if she wants to come together, she will worry about whether our mother will laugh at her.
After all, she said something too early, and there were always people bullying my mother in her parents' house. Even if my mother couldn't laugh at her face to face, she also had a guilty conscience.
Like the old man, he has a guilty conscience. Aren't he worried that he will lose face if he comes with the old lady and our father doesn't pay much attention to him?
His current mentality is that it is okay to be embarrassed in front of his own family, but in front of outsiders he still has to be the father who has the final say and is competing with himself.
Okay, let’s not talk about them anymore. They do whatever they like. But if you don’t eat with them tonight, how about eating some more with me? ”
Zhou Banxia happily agreed, "That's okay. It's rare to treat everyone to a meal. The pickled vegetable and tofu soup won't be on the table tonight, so I deliberately ate less and waited for you to come back to eat together."
"Thank you, you are really my good wife. The stinky pickles and tofu soup are waiting for me to come back. This time it is so good, don't you suddenly not want to eat it?"
Zhou Banxia burst into laughter, "We share blessings and share hardships. No matter how bad it is, you have to eat with me. Don't change the subject and think that I suddenly stopped eating."
Gu Wenxuan's catchphrase came casually, "You are so smart. As expected of my wife, you guessed it again. Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, my wife."
