Chapter 11 The hen that can’t lay eggs
Gu Yunting, who was missed by Yang Manman, got off work, climbed on his bicycle, and headed towards Huaihua Village, pedaling as fast as he could.
Entering the village, the villagers who were just returning home from work with their farm tools only saw his tall blue figure that seemed to be flying by.
"That's the boss of the Gu family, he looks so good in that blue work uniform." These days, workers are an important part of the family. Rural people all work in the fields to find food. Whoever can produce a worker will be on their ancestors' graves. There was smoke.
No, everyone envies the Gu family's boss for being able to pass the worker's examination. Not only can he get a monthly salary, but he also has various factory benefits during holidays and festivals. This job can be passed on to his children and grandchildren in the future.
"But the eldest son of the Gu family has been married for three years and doesn't have a child yet."
Wu Meili on the side spat, "Then Yang Manman is just a hen that can't lay eggs. I see, they won't have children in this life."
Some aunts frowned when they heard Wu Meili's words, "Wu Meili, your words are too unpleasant. Don't let Yao Chunhua hear it, or your mouth will be torn apart."
Yao Chunhua is the most protective of others. Not to mention her own children, she also protects her daughter-in-law who marries into the Gu family.
Someone had previously ridiculed Yang Manman for not having children. When Yao Chunhua heard this, she started fighting with that person on the spot. Later, she was even assigned to pick out manure for a full month.
Wu Meili also thought of this, and her confidence suddenly weakened, but she still said bravely: "What I said is the truth."
"Wu Meili, could it be that you have always hated Yang Manman because the boss of the Gu family didn't want to see your Baozhu?"
Wu Meili's eyes became even weaker. She put her hands on her hips and raised her voice, "No, stop talking nonsense. I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go back and cook."
After saying that, her legs flew very fast, and people passing by her could still hear her cursing Yang Manman not to get pregnant.
As soon as she returned home, Wu Meili smiled happily when she saw her daughter Gu Baozhu and son-in-law Yang Guangming taking their grandson back to her parents' home.
Avoiding her son-in-law, Wu Meili in the kitchen told her daughter about Boss Gu becoming a worker.
"You said, if you had married Boss Gu, you might have been from the city in the future." Wu Meili looked down on Yang Guangming, who was just a carpenter.
Gu Baozhu's eyes were filled with anger, and he glanced at his son who was eating candy not far away. His eyes widened again, and he was very proud, "Gu Yunting will definitely regret it."
He regretted refusing to see her, but married Yang Manman.
As her mother said, Yang Manman was a hen that couldn't lay eggs. If Gu Yunting had married her, he would have a son now.
She was waiting for the day when Gu Yunting would regret it.
Gu Yunting, who was expected to regret it by others, had already arrived home. He heard from his wife about the morning's treatment and got the prescription prescribed by his younger sister from his mother.
After browsing the book, he carefully folded it and put it close to his body in his pocket. "I'll go out and buy it early after dinner. Manman can take a medicinal bath in the evening."
Sure enough, when Gu Yunting came back in the evening, he bought medicinal materials, and after dinner, he cooked it himself and gave Yang Manman a medicinal bath.
In winter, there is no snow in Huaihua Village because it is in the south, but at night, it is still very cold and the wind blows loudly outside. In the room, Yang Manman was taking a medicinal bath, her heart was burning hot.
While she was soaking, she discussed with her husband, who was reading a book, what kind of ceremony they should give when her sister-in-law got married.
"I heard it's cold over there in the Northwest Military Region. How about you bring me some wool, preferably red, and I'll knit a thick scarf for her." Yang Manman suggested.
Her knitting skills are second to none and she is also the most capable.
A red scarf, if you can, I can give it to my sister-in-law on her wedding day.
"That's okay." Gu Yunting closed the book and agreed. He felt the water temperature and let it cool down. Then he took the hot water bottle that had already been filled with hot water and carefully added it. He said, "I will bring you wool tomorrow. Exchange some tickets with the workers.”
They don't know what they need there, but there are always more tickets. You can buy whatever you want. As for the money, the parents will definitely not lose the little sister.
Indeed, in the main room next door, in the room belonging to Dad Gu and Yao Chunhua, a candle was also burning.
Yao Chunhua was threading needlework and making a cotton-padded coat by the light of a candle. The inside was the new cotton saved this year. She was doing it very seriously. Occasionally she raised her head to look at the old man who was also busy and muttered, "I heard that in the northwest , it’s much colder than in the south. It still snows in winter, and the temperature in winter is often more than ten degrees below zero or more than 20 degrees. I don’t know if Ning Ning can bear it after joining the army.”
After all, their daughter had been pampered by them since she was a child, and she was a little arrogant and could not bear hardships. Of course, they were reluctant to let their daughter endure hardships, but they were a little worried.
Deep down in my mother's heart, I always feel a little uneasy when I think of my raised daughter getting married and going to a place that is more difficult and far away that I can't see.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
No, this cotton coat was made for Gu Jianing. It was stuffed with a lot of thick new cotton. I wanted to make it for my daughter before she left for the army, so that she wouldn't get cold when she got to the northwest.
Dad Gu, who was calculating family money and various tickets, also took the time to reply, "Yes, but this is the path chosen by my daughter. Zexi is also a good boy. We have to support you and make the cotton clothes as soon as possible." , let’s give some more money and tickets then, especially cotton tickets. These cotton clothes, cotton trousers, and quilts are all needed. When she gets there, she can buy them herself if she needs them.”
The family's savings were about a little over 1,000 yuan. Dad Gu thought about dividing it into five parts, one for each of his four children and his wife, and then taking another 100 yuan from them to give his daughter 300 yuan.
Father Gu expressed his thoughts, and Yao Chunhua nodded in agreement. Although they loved their daughter, any son was good, and their interests could not be touched.
Thinking about it, her hands moved faster, but the stitches were still dense.
In the west wing room, the light of the candle reflected Su Miao, who was lying on the bed for confinement, wrapped tightly and with a scarf on her forehead to prevent wind. She was looking tenderly at her husband Gu Yunnan, who was changing her son's diaper, and said the same thing. When the sister-in-law gets married, they have to follow the ceremony.
Su Miao's impression of her sister-in-law was neither good nor bad. Although her sister-in-law was more arrogant and domineering, her family members, including her husband, doted on her to the heavens.
But Su Miao is not jealous. Ever since she got married, the Gu family has been very good to her. It is very different from her natal family, which values boys over girls. Even the coquettish and coquettish sister-in-law, when she first got married, looked at her because she was thin. When she was little and thin, she was given a lot of food and clothes.
Therefore, now that my sister-in-law is getting married, as long as she and her husband have it, they will not hesitate to give it.
That is, the family has not been separated yet, and most of the money and tickets belong to the public, but it doesn't matter.
"I won't go to work tomorrow. I will go for a walk in the mountains to see if I can catch some prey. If so, I will bring it back quietly and let my mother smoke it. My little sister can take it with her when she goes to join the army."
