Peasant woman's day

Chapter 44

Yuanyuan just woke up when she came here, and then he was placed next to her by Fu Rong, sleeping well.Fu Rong touched Boy Xie's forehead, carefully put him on the bed, continued to wipe him, and yawned continuously.When Mrs. Xie saw her, she hurriedly said: "Siblings, why don't you go to the next door. I've changed the bedding for today, so you can just take a rest."

Fu Rong really couldn't hold it anymore, she nodded and turned to look at Gu Qingchen.Gu Qingchen handed the medicine bowl to Brother Xie, and said to Fu Rong, "Go and rest for a while. I'll call you when I get home." He had already noticed that Fu Rong was sleepy, and wanted her to go home first , But firstly, he was worried that the two of their mothers were at home, and secondly, Furong was afraid of the dark at night by herself, so he didn't mention it.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Fu Rong only felt that her eyes were about to close, she opened them forcefully, turned around to hug Yuanyuan, her body swayed a few times, thanks to Gu Qingchen who gave her a hand.Sister-in-law Xie was quite embarrassed: "Third brother Gu, why don't you and the third sibling go to rest. If the child is not good again, I will call you again."

Gu Qingchen hugged Yuanyuan, supported Fu Rong's arm with one hand, and nodded: "That's fine."

Furong has a little problem with bed recognition. Although it is not very serious, when she first arrives in a new place, she always has to toss and turn on the bed for a long time before she can fall asleep.Gu Qingchen put Yuanyuan in the innermost place first, then went to pick up the water brought in by Mrs. Xie, and wiped Furong and Yuanyuan's faces.After wiping her face, Furong lay down next to Yuanyuan except for her coat, and there was indeed a fresh fragrance.Gu Qingchen walked out again.

Fu Rong closed her eyes. Although her head was very confused, she seemed to be falling asleep at the moment, always waking up suddenly at the moment when she was about to fall asleep.She pulled Yuanyuan into her arms, and smelling the milky smell on his body, she felt very at ease, but she still couldn't fall asleep.

I don't know how long it took.Suddenly there was a slight sound of clothes rubbing behind her.Then, the familiar man's breath sprayed on her neck.Furong let go of Yuanyuan, turned over, and found a comfortable position in Gu Qingchen's arms, only then did she feel sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.Gu Qingchen held her waist, pushed aside the hair on the side of her face with one hand, and stared at her for a long time.He didn't like her words about being at home or in that mansion very much, it always made him feel a sense of strangeness.His hands tightened, his chin rested on her forehead, and he closed his eyes reassuringly.

Xie boy suffered from his illness for several days before he got better.On the day Xie got well, he specially brought Xie over to thank Gu Qingchen.

As soon as they came in, Mrs. Xie said, "Boy, hurry up and kowtow to Third Uncle and Aunt Gu."

Xie boy immediately knelt down when he heard the words, and Fu Rong hurriedly pulled him up.Gu Qingchen said to Mrs. Xie: "Sister-in-law Xie, what are you doing? Healing the parents' heart, this is what I should do. Now that the child is healed, I am also happy to see it."

Mrs. Xie carried a basket of eggs, some white flour rolls, and two pieces of smoked fish.She handed over the basket and said with a smile: "There is nothing good at home, this is not a respect, I hope my siblings don't mind."

"Sister-in-law Xie, that's really polite. I've already paid for the medicine, so I don't need this. Sister-in-law's family has a lot of people, why don't you take it back and add some food for the child." Fu Rong hastily declined.The people in the village are not rich, and these things are enough for a family to eat for several days.

Sister-in-law Xie only disagreed and insisted that Fu Rong accept it.Furong insisted on refusing, and only let Mrs. Xie sit down.The two pushed for a long time to no avail, and in the end it was Gu Qingchen who decided to accept it.Sister Xie breathed a sigh of relief, Fu Rong got up and said, "I'll go get you a cup of tea. You should sit down first."

Boy Xie looked about four or five years old, he was a restless child, leaning against Mrs. Xie's side, his eyes rolled around.Yuanyuan has been taken to Xie's house by Fu Rong these days, and she has become acquainted with Boy Xie a lot.Now that boy Xie came over, Yuanyuan danced happily and hurried into the room to take out all her toys for him to play with.With small hands, he could take one at a time, and ran several times.Fearing that he would run too hot, Fu Rong told him to slow down.Yuanyuan shouted from the room: "Mother, come out and play."

Gu Qingchen walked in, picked him up and came out, patted his buttocks with one hand, and said: "You are so small, there is something like offering treasures. That wooden horse, I made it after your Uncle Xie's wooden horse." You still show it off."

The adults present all laughed.Yuanyuan didn't know why everyone was laughing, looked at the crowd, stretched out her hand to grab Gu Qingchen's neck, pouted her buttocks, pouted her small mouth, and said in Gu Qingchen's ear: "Daddy, I want to play."

Fu Rong smiled, and asked casually: "Boy Xie got this disease today, it's nothing else, but from now on, you can't touch broad beans again, and it's best not to even go to the broad bean fields."

"That's right. It's the child's father. I heard from someone last year that the broad beans were planted to make money. Who knew that this year, there were too many broad beans, so they would be worthless. I wanted to keep them for myself, but who knew that this would happen again?" What's the matter, those few sacks of broad beans have to be discarded." Sister-in-law Xie had a distressed expression on her face.

After hearing this, Fu Rong raised her head and said, "Sister-in-law Xie, can you sell the broad beans to me?"

Sister-in-law Xie hurriedly said: "Now my family members don't dare to touch that anymore, for fear that it will be bad for someone. If the third sibling wants it, they can take it. They don't have much money anyway."

"How can this be possible? If you sell those broad beans now, you can sell them for a lot of money. I am buying something, not asking my sister-in-law for favors or anything. If my sister-in-law insists on not wanting my money, then I have no choice but not to buy it. " Furong said seriously.

Gu Qingchen was a little puzzled, but seeing Furong's confident appearance, he thought of her ideas that popped up from time to time.She must have thought of something novel.As long as she is happy, Gu Qingchen made up his mind and helped Furong to say the same.

In the end, Gu Qingchen stepped forward and reached a deal with Brother Xie. He bought more than 200 catties of broad beans from their family at a price of five cents per catty. hundred dollars.

Fu Rong and Gu Qingchen used Xie's cart to transport all the broad beans back.Take a closer look at the hibiscus one by one. The broad bean flaps are not particularly large, but the quality is still good.She made it at home once before. Yuanyuan is edible, and everyone in the Gu family can eat it too.However, Fu Rong decided not to tell the Gu family about this matter first.

Fu Rong finished counting the broad beans, and as soon as she walked out of the kitchen, she saw Mrs. Gu standing in the yard with a dismal expression.Fu Rong called mother, and Old Lady Gu responded, "Where's the third child?"

"He's resting in the room." Fu Rong saw Gu Simei who was beside Mrs. Gu secretly winking at her, probably guessing that Mrs. Gu was going to say something to her.After thinking about it, it must be the cart of broad beans today.Fu Rong was half relieved, and went up to draw the curtain for Mrs. Gu: "Mother."

Mrs. Gu didn't say a word, and walked in without even looking at Furong.Gu Simei glanced at Fu Rong, and seemed to want to say something, when Mrs. Gu called her, Gu Simei had no choice but to bow her head and go in.

Fu Rong brewed three cups of tea, and when she walked into the yard, she heard Gu's voice from inside the house: "Now she can buy whatever she wants. It's not the season for planting, and the dried broad beans I bought are still there." What's the use! You just let her mess around, don't tell me you're just living your life!"

"Mother, these broad beans are not what Furong wants to buy, but what I want to buy." Gu Qingchen's voice was very patient.

Seeing Gu Qingchen's appearance, Mrs. Gu became even more angry: "Now you are messing around with her. She is a sensible person, I know, but she comes from a wealthy family, so she is naturally more expensive than others. Today I want to eat chicken Duck and fish meat, what kind of oil is it tomorrow, we are just ordinary people, how can we afford such a way of eating."

After hearing this, Gu Qingchen said softly: "Mother, Furong helped me take care of the medical center, and didn't dare to spend money recklessly. The broad beans we bought are really useful, not just for fun. Mother, what do you say Yes, I have plans in mind."

Mrs. Gu sighed: "I'm just telling you in vain, anyway, you have a few words to say. I also know that you are filial. If you are really filial, you will take the children's affairs to heart. It’s been more than half a year, and there’s no news. Hurry up tomorrow, I’ll go to that temple to worship, ask the Bodhisattva, and help you get rid of the bad luck brought about by the previous incident. You have to take it to heart.”

Gu Qingchen kept his head sullen and did not speak.Fu Rong pretended not to hear what was said in the room, opened the curtain, and brought tea in.

When Mrs. Gu saw Fu Rong, the expression on her face was not very good, she just said: "Sit down, I happen to have something to tell you."

Fu Rong made tea for them, and then sat down on the long bench.Seeing Furong's generous appearance, Mrs. Gu began to feel distressed again when she thought of the fish, and cleared her throat: "I'm here today, not for anything else. It's just that your elder brother's marriage is just around the corner. More than half of this thing is missing."

Yuanyuan's little head was exposed outside the door curtain.Fu Rong hurriedly beckoned him to come in.Yuanyuan walked in, first she sweetly called Grandma, and then called Gu Simei Auntie.Furong pulled him by her side, picked up the small bamboo cup specially made for him, fed him water, and wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief in one hand.
