Peasant woman's day

Chapter 45

Seeing that Furong was busy, Mrs. Gu looked away, and looked at Gu Qingchen, clenched the handkerchief tightly.

Gu Qingchen lowered his head, but his heart was like a snow cave.This time, Mrs. Gu first reprimanded Fu Rong for not being able to live and save money.But the purpose of saving money is to give the money to the eldest brother to marry a wife?If it hadn't been for the previous experience, maybe he still didn't have anything in his heart.Gu Qingchen was silent for a moment, raised his head, and forced a smile: "Mother, didn't we agree at the beginning? They pay the same amount for the third room and the second room. Now how much the second brother and the second sister-in-law pay, we naturally follow suit. How much."

After hearing Gu Qingchen's words, Mrs. Gu's heart fell to the ground instantly.When the family was separated, she was worried that the two children would not admit to the matter, and it was difficult to mention it.Now that the third child has opened his mouth, she feels relieved, doesn't sit any longer, stands up and leaves.

As soon as Mrs. Gu stepped out of the door, Gu Qingchen stood up on her back: "I'll go to the backyard to weed."

Furong knew that he was in a bad mood, so she let him go.After he left, Furong clung to Yuanyuan's ear secretly, and said, "Yuanyuan, why don't you follow daddy to pull the weeds. Mother will cook something delicious for you."

Yuanyuan nodded, and trotted out. Furong was behind him calling him to slow down.She was alone again in the house.Fu Rong took off the handkerchief tied around her head, and was playing with the handkerchief embroidered with flowers.After hesitating for a long time, she opened the closet and took out the small box containing her body from the bottom of the closet.She hesitated for a long time, her hands trembling, but she didn't open the box.There is a mezzanine here, she closed her eyes, it seemed that the distant memories came back to her mind again.

After sitting quietly for a long time, a drop of crystal slowly fell from the corner of Fu Rong's eyes.She swiftly stuffed the box into the bottom of her clothes.If you don't want to, don't let yourself have a chance to think about it.She is very satisfied with her current life, so don't let the shadow of the past destroy this happiness.She must have found a way to get that money together.Isn't the broad bean an opportunity?Thinking of this, Furong stood up.Anyway, Mrs. Gu will definitely be tripped by the second sister-in-law for two days, and she is not in a hurry.

She went into the kitchen and dragged a large wooden basin to the well. After washing it, she poured the smallest bag of [-] catties of broad beans into the basin.She fetched several buckets of water, washed the broad beans several times in a row, picked out all the broken broad bean petals, and then poured out the water.This back and forth made her sweat.

She wiped off her sweat and went into the kitchen, took a bowl of cold white water, drank it in big gulps, and then started cooking.

Gu Qingchen pulled out all the grass, and with Yuanyuan beside him helping more and more, his mood improved a lot.The father and son came out fighting, and Gu Qingchen saw the wooden basin by the well at a glance.He washed his hands, walked to the door of the kitchen, and said with a smile, "Why didn't you call me? There are so many broad beans, and you don't have much energy, so you're sweating all over."

"Get tired, there are two bowls of cold water here, drink slowly, don't choke." Fu Rong was pouring the rice into the pot, when she turned her head, her face was flushed, "I happen to have something to ask you. "

Gu Qingchen fed Yuanyuan to drink water first, and said while feeding, "What's the matter?"

Fu Rong wiped her hands on her apron and said, "Here, does anyone have fresh chili peppers?"

"This season, where can I buy fresh chili peppers?" Gu Qingchen thought for a while, "I'll go out and have a look, see which one has it."

Fu Rong thought for a while and said: "Just ask quietly, if there is no one, let's talk about it." The chili peppers harvested at home are good, but they have lost some moisture in the sun, so they may not be so delicious.

Gu Qingchen took a steamed bun and went out.He didn't come back until Furong put the food on the table, sweating profusely: "The village is gone, tomorrow I will go to the neighboring village to ask."

The three of them had eaten, and Fu Rong was clearing the table when a voice suddenly sounded in the yard: "Is the third child at home?"

With this sound, Gu Qingchen and Fu Rong looked at each other, and Gu Qingchen hurriedly opened the curtain and went out: "San Auntie, what kind of wind is it today, why did it bring you here?"

"I baked some pancakes today. I thought that Yuanyuan would come to my house before. If he likes to eat this, I will send it over for him to try." Aunt Gu said with a smile.

Fu Rong hurriedly opened the curtain, and said with a smile, "Auntie San, please come inside. I just finished tidying up here, please sit down and I'll go make tea."

Gu San Auntie smiled and came in without refusing.Knowing that she had something to say, Fu Rong picked up the dishes and went out.She washed the dishes and drained them, and made tea again.

"It's a coincidence that the third child came to look for fresh spicy peppers this afternoon. My mother's family planted a lot of spicy peppers this year, and picked them together, which made them mature. I am going back to my mother's house tomorrow, and the third child and I'll go together." Aunt Gu smiled.

Gu Qingchen's eyes paused for a moment, then turned to Fu Rong.Seeing this, Aunt Gu San understood a little bit, took Fu Rong's hand, and said, "My third daughter-in-law, our family doesn't talk about each other. More than half of my mother's family don't eat these spicy peppers, and they don't eat them. It's just for sale. I'm not being polite to you, you just separated, and the medical clinic just opened, if money is tight, it's okay. Anyway, it's my family, and it doesn't matter at this moment .”

With a slightly embarrassed face, Gu Qingchen glanced at Furong and said, "Aunt San, how can I bother you with this matter first, and ask you to help us with this matter of money."

Aunt Gu San didn't refuse them either, since they said so, they must be able to figure out a way, so she didn't say anything.Aunt Gu smiled and stood up: "Then tomorrow morning, let's go there together."

At night, Furong coaxed Yuanyuan to sleep, put him on the small bed, covered him with a thin quilt, and put his hands in it.Yuanyuan turned her head several times, as if she was not sleeping well.Furong sat beside him and patted his back lightly, Yuanyuan moved her little mouth and fell asleep.

Gu Qingchen was still sitting by the table, counting the money in the box back and forth.Fu Rong walked over, sat beside him, and gently shook his hand: "You don't even ask me, why do you want to buy hot peppers and broad beans?"

Gu Qingchen put her hand in his palm and looked back and forth at her hand.These hands seem to be much thicker than when she just walked through the door.Gu Qingchen wrapped her hands in his own, and chuckled lightly: "Mother, you have heard everything, don't take it to heart, you are not the kind of foolish person, and I am not the kind of foolish person."

Fu Rong only felt that her hands were warm after being cold for a day, so she put her head on his shoulders, looked at his hands under the oil lamp, and said softly: "If those people don't like to listen, why would I be wronged?" Listen to it yourself. If you have to mind everything, wouldn't you be exhausted all your life?"

Gu Qingchen chuckled and hugged her up, and blew out the lamp in one gulp.Fu Rong put her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear: "I still have a bracelet, you can take it for emergency. If there is a lot of hot peppers, I will buy a few hundred catties tomorrow. I will wait a little longer. Days, that's not going to happen."

Gu Qingchen's kiss landed on her eyelashes, he sighed inwardly, he held her in his arms, and tucked her in the quilt.That night, both of them slept soundly.

Early the next morning, Gu Qingchen and Aunt Gu went to her natal home.Furong had just chopped the leaves of rotten vegetables, mixed them with coarse bran, and sprinkled them for the chickens to eat.Yuanyuan stood in front of the chicken pen and called every chicken Huang Huang.Furong knelt down and taught him to count, and the chickens became rhubarb, two yellow and three yellow.Yuanyuan pestered Furong to teach her how to count again.Fu Rong simply squatted on the ground, taught him to write simple one, two, three, and taught him to count things with one, two, and three.

The more Yuanyuan learned, the more excited she became, her little brain turned, and she tilted her head: "Two dogs, two little yellows. Mother, mother, am I two years old?"

Fu Rong suppressed her smile, and nodded his forehead: "You little devil, everyone else is two years old, but you are two years old. You are really a little ghost."

"Oh, third daughter-in-law, why are you still here? Why don't you go back and have a look, your mother's side, something serious has happened." Aunt Huang hurried in and said hastily.

Fu Rong was startled, went into the house to get the key, carried Yuanyuan out the door, locked the door and ran to the old house.

A large group of people had already gathered at the gate of the old house, all pointing and pointing, and when they saw Fu Rong approaching, they all got out of the way.On the contrary, Fu Rong calmed down and stood in the crowd, listening first before speaking.

"I don't care, this Gu Er Er owes me a large sum of money, and he agreed to pay it back within ten days. Now that he has disappeared, I will not ask you to find anyone!" A man with a fierce face tilted his head. Erlang sat in the courtyard with his legs, and beside him stood a knife that had been polished.There were four big men standing beside him, all with rolled up sleeves, round waists and thick shoulders.

Second Aunt Gu cried and sat on the ground in the yard without saying a word.Old lady Gu's face was dark, and she didn't speak.

"Oh, what a crime this Gu family has committed. It's okay for Gu's second child to eat and be lazy on weekdays, but he still owes a whole lot of debt. Tsk tsk, I don't know how much I owe." Sister-in-law Xie's mother-in-law was in the crowd. Li said quietly.

Erya's grandma also said: "Speaking of which, I have only seen his mother-in-law when I visited Gu Er'er's shop these few times. He said that he went to the town to do a part-time job. Heh, who knows what he did?" Son."
