Peasant woman's day

Chapter 28

Gu Qingchen, who was tinkering with medicine in the room, also washed his hands quickly and came over to help.She skillfully cut the cucumber into slices, turned her head to see the plate of white meat, and asked, "Is there any sweet sauce or watercress?"

"There is sauce. What is Douban?" Gu Qingchen asked suspiciously, "I've never heard of it when I grow up." Gu Qingchen said, reached out to take the jar from the cabinet, and handed it to Fu Rong : "Here, this is the sauce."

Furong smelled it, and the sauce smelled the same as what she smelled at home. It was a bit sour, and it tasted astringent and bitter. She didn't know what it was made of.Fu Rong shook her head: "I'm not used to this." She remembered the pickled vegetables she had picked up two slices, washed them and cut them into fine pieces, then put the white meat with seasonings such as oil and salt, and neatly placed them in a large bowl. In the bowl, spread all the pickled vegetables on top of the meat, spread a thick layer, and put the steamer on it.

Fortunately, the stoves in the farmhouses are all connected together, so there is no delay in cooking.Since the meat was still early, Fu Rong stopped cooking and cut up a little bit of pumpkin to prepare pumpkin rice.Fu Rong sat on the small bench in front of the stove and watched the fire, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

Gu Qingchen brought some firewood from the back, pulled a small stool and sat beside her, and asked quietly: "Daughter-in-law, do you still feel unwell?" After speaking, he took Fu Rong's hand and put it on his palm, slowly rubbing.

Fu Rong blushed, spat, and stood up: "You are not serious. I will ignore you." Fu Rong withdrew her hand as she spoke.Her movement was fast, and Gu Qingchen's was even faster. Before she could pull it out, he squeezed her hand and completely wrapped her palm in his fist.The corner of Gu Qingchen's mouth curled into a smile: "Daughter-in-law."

"Who is your wife? You lost the bet last time." Fu Rong tugged at her hand.Gu Qingchen immediately pulled her, and Furong was pulled into his arms by him.The smell of traditional Chinese medicine on his body rushed towards his face, carrying a sense of peace of mind.He said in a low voice, "Who loses? Isn't this competition over yet?"

The fire in the stove crackled, and the faces of the two were red.Fu Rong struggled several times in his arms, but in vain, so she let him hold her.After a long while, Gu Qingchen looked at her blushing face, felt moved, and stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek: "Daughter-in-law..."

Before I finished speaking, there was a sudden clatter outside, and then the voice of Sister Gu came: "I know I'm crazy every day. These fish are prepared to be eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival. Hairy children who have never seen the world, play like crazy." What nonsense!"

There was a loud slap and the cry of a child, and Furong turned pale with fright: "Yuanyuan!"

"Just now Tianheng came to play with Yuanyuan." Gu Qingchen hurriedly let go of Furong's hand, "I'll go out and have a look. You look at the pot."

Furong was worried, worried that Yuanyuan would be beaten, and that the rice and meat were not cooked so quickly, so she tore off her apron and hurried out of the kitchen.

Tianheng was sitting on the ground, Yuanyuan was standing next to him, and the two children were wiping their tears.Fu Rong shouted tremblingly, "Yuanyuan."

Yuanyuan heard Fu Rong's voice, turned her head to see Gu Qingchen and Fu Rong, and immediately cried louder: "Mother, she beat brother Yuanyuan!"

Furong hurriedly pulled Yuanyuan to look around, and was so anxious that she was about to cry: "Does Yuanyuan hurt?" Yuanyuan wiped her tears and cried like a little cat.Fu Rong saw the red mark on his chin at a glance, and slowly stroked it with her hand, shed tears in distress, turned her head, and got angry at Sister Gu: "Why do you hit Yuanyuan! Who told you to do it! "

Sister Gu had never been yelled at like this before. She was stunned for a moment, and then she came back to her senses, angrily pointing at Fu Rong with one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Fu Rong: "What about you and me? It doesn't matter whether it's big or small. You said you were You're polite. It's been a long time since I've been back, but I haven't heard you call me big sister! What kind of uneducated girl is this, so shameless, no wonder she raised a thief who steals things!"

"Who are you talking about! Who stole things!" Before Furong could yell out, Gu Qingchen, who had just helped Tianheng up, suddenly became angry, and yelled at Sister Gu, "Which eye of yours saw him stealing, tell me clearly !"

Finally there was movement in the room, Second Aunt Gu came out, and lazily said: "Hey, isn't this the eldest sister? Why, aren't you taking a nap in the room? Why are you free now?"

Sister Gu was already full of anger. After hearing the sarcasm in Sister-in-law Gu's words, she slammed headlong towards Fu Rong regardless: "I'll kill you bastard, and my younger brother who seduced me has lost his soul, but he still has me in his eyes." This sister!"

Gu Qingchen was a little closer to Furong, when he saw Sister Gu rushing over, he just pushed her up.Sister Gu let out an ouch, and was pushed back several steps by his push, and fell to the ground, her tailbone was numb when she hit the ground.Sister Gu's eyes widened, and a layer of mist quickly formed in her eyes: "Why is my life so miserable? Even my younger brother beat me. Mom, I'm dead."

Mrs. Gu, who was cooking for Sister Gu in the kitchen, was startled when she heard Sister Gu's voice, and came out with a knife.When she saw Sister Gu sitting on the ground with tears all over her face, her heart suddenly burst into flames. Seeing Gu Qingchen's dark face, she couldn't help turning dark: "Sir, what kind of medicine did you take! Yes My mother is just yelling, but she actually pushed your elder sister!"

"Mother, it's the eldest sister who is wrong first." Gu Qingchen tried to calm himself down, "It's just that a piece of fish was missing, and the eldest sister beat Yuanyuan and Tianheng indiscriminately, and even framed them as the ones who stole it. Furong asked her , She actually wanted to bump into Furong."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu glared at Fu Rong: "It's just hitting the child twice. Good people come out of the golden stick. Your sister is doing it for your children!"

When Gu Qingchen heard this, his face darkened again: "Mother, elder sister falsely accused their two children of stealing the fish!"

"It's just a sentence." Mrs. Gu waved the kitchen knife in her hand nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal."

"So, it wasn't a big deal that I was framed by her back then!" Gu Qingchen slammed his fist on the trunk of a big tree in the corner of the courtyard, his voice filled with sadness: "Even a child knows good and bad. Back then, Just because of her words, my aunt, oh no, should have told my mother to beat me half to death, and lay on the bed for half a year!" His trembling hands pointed at Sister Gu, and then towards Old Lady Gu, " How I wish I could see you, even if one person comes to see me. Is it true that you don't want me?"

Boss Gu, who came back from the field, had just entered the door, when he heard Gu Qingchen's last words, he couldn't help standing still.Behind him, Papa Gu also stopped, holding the cigarette stick tightly in his hand.

Gu Lao Niang's figure flickered, she looked at Gu Qingchen in disbelief, the sharp light in her eyes gradually dissipated.

After hearing this, Sister Gu supported her waist with one hand, and supported the ground with the other: "Third brother, what did you say? When my cousin lost the 20 taels of silver, who else would it be if you didn't steal it! You On the contrary, I said I reneged."
