Peasant woman's day

Chapter 67

Furong was silent for a while, and then said after a while: "We are a small business, not a big workshop or something. We make fresh pastries every day, and there is no way to make so many pastries. Maybe you came to the wrong place , I'm really sorry."

Seeing Furong stand up, Steward Fan got up quickly and said: "Miss Furong, I didn't do this out of any other intentions, I came here at the order of the young master. Miss Furong, don't let down the good intentions of the young master."

When Furong heard this, she stopped immediately, turned around, stared at Steward Fan with a serious face: "Steward Fan, what do you mean by that! I am no longer a servant girl of Fan Manor, please show some respect." !"

When Fu Rong said this, Gu Qingchen and Gu Sanbo just walked in.When Gu Qingchen heard Fu Rong's words, he couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, he tightened his hands unconsciously, then loosened them again, and walked out with a calm expression.

"Sir, this guest wants to discuss business with you. I feel a little uncomfortable, so let's go back first." Seeing Gu Qingchen coming in, Fu Rong said hastily, and walked back.

Lin came out with Yuanyuan in her arms, and saw Furong sitting in the backyard peeling the ground chestnuts, she couldn't help but wondered, "Why did you start doing this? What did Lianhua do?"

Furong and the others' business was getting better, so they hired another person to peel the chestnuts. According to the catty, it was lotus.Gu Qingchen went to get a lot of chestnuts again.Mrs. Lin has always been taking care of things in the backyard. Furong's sudden appearance here to do these things surprised Mrs. Lin for a while.

Fu Rong didn't even raise her head: "I asked her to boil water inside. It's fine anyway. I'll also help peel some ground chestnuts."

Just as he was talking, Gu Qingchen walked over from the front.Seeing him, Mrs. Lin knew that the two had something to say, so she took the child to the front to take care of the shop.

"Daughter-in-law." Gu Qingchen squatted in front of Fu Rong, pinched the knife in her hand with one hand, and held Fu Rong's wrist with the other hand.Fu Rong was forced to stop and looked up at him: "Is he gone?"

Gu Qingchen took the knife out of her hand, nodded and said, "En. I didn't agree to his request."

Fu Rong looked at him puzzled, she and the Fan family had some old affairs, but why did Gu Qingchen push the money out.

With Gu Qingchen's hand, he gently pinned the hair that fell from Fu Rong's forehead behind her ears, and said softly: "My daughter-in-law doesn't like him, so we won't do business with him. Just do business slowly."

Fu Rong looked into Gu Qingchen's eyes, her heart softened a little, and she smiled at him.

I don't know what Gu Qingchen said to Steward Fan that day, anyway, no one from the Fan family appeared in their shop after that day.Furong's business is still the same as before, and the New Year is coming soon.

Furong bought a piece of bright red cloth and some cotton, and asked the children about their sizes, planning to make a set of clothes for the children of the Gu family and the Guo family. Thank her for taking care of me on weekdays.Fu Rong tore the cloth for the four old people again, and prepared some rituals for the next year. On the afternoon of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, she and Gu Qingchen came back in a carriage.

They still live here in the house they rented.Fu Rong uncovered the burlap, she made the bed and wiped the furniture, while Gu Qingchen swept the floor to get firewood.But in just over a month, Fu Rong felt that this place was a little strange.

Yuanyuan returned to the old place, she was happier than Furong, and went to play with Xiaotao and Tianheng before entering the house.Fu Rong didn't stop him either, knowing that he had no one to play with in the town, so she panicked.Furong thought that when she returned to the town after the year, she would have to visit her neighbors more often, because it would be easy to do things well if she knew them well.

Gu Qingchen and Fu Rong just cleaned up briefly, and after cleaning up all afternoon, they felt that they could barely watch it.After Fu Rong took a shower, she was so tired that she fell asleep on the bed.Gu Qingchen forcefully pulled her up, let her lean on his body, and wiped her hair with a towel.Fu Rong couldn't even open her eyes, she leaned on his shoulder and murmured, "Master, I want to sleep."

"We'll go to bed when our hair is dry." Gu Qingchen's movements were much lighter, seeing Fu Rong's dark circles under his eyes, he felt extremely distressed.

Xu Shi got a good night's sleep, and Fu Rong woke up early the next morning.Yuanyuan also woke up very early, rubbing her eyes: "Mom, I still want to play with my brothers and sisters."

"Mother and you go to play with them, let's take a bath first, shall we?" Furong has a custom in her hometown in modern times, and she must be cleaned up early in the morning every 30 days.

Gu Qingchen leaned closer and whispered into Furong's ear: "Daughter-in-law, I want to wash together too."

Fu Rong pushed Gu Qingchen's face away with a slap, and glared at him: "You are not serious. Then you take Yuanyuan to take a bath." After speaking, Fu Rong stuffed Yuanyuan to Gu Qingchen, turned and walked out the door.Gu Qingchen touched his nose in embarrassment, and gnawed on Yuanyuan's face: "Yuanyuan, let's go wash it for nothing."

Gu Qingchen and Fu Rong went over as soon as they packed up.Seeing Fu Rong, Mrs. Gu hurriedly greeted her and said, "Third brothers and sisters, let's put on the window grilles." stand up.

"Third brother and sister, thank you very much last time. If you didn't help us, I don't know what to do?" Mrs. Gu said, her voice unconsciously covered with sadness.

Fu Rong was gesturing at the window grille, and she smiled lightly when she heard the words: "Sister-in-law, we are a family. The house is empty even if it is empty."

Mrs. Gu was about to say something, but Mrs. Gu walked in, and Mrs. Gu immediately stopped talking.Seeing that Fu Rong and the others were chatting and laughing, Second Aunt Gu stopped her mouth as soon as she came in, and couldn't help being annoyed for a while, with a bit of sting in her tone: "You guys are relatives and sisters-in-law, I'm the only one outsider."

"It's a big festival. What are you talking about." Mrs. Gu was coming in with tea. After hearing what Gu Ersao said, her face instantly darkened, "Sitting in the same room, who is an outsider."

After hearing Mrs. Gu's words, the second sister-in-law Gu immediately turned away her face and pursed her mouth: "That's not what I said. I saw that there was an outsider in this room. It's so hard to help people take care of their children. Know whose bastard it is."

"Second sister-in-law, I call you second sister-in-law, and I hope you pay attention to your own words and deeds." Fu Rong suddenly turned her head and stared at second sister-in-law Gu coldly.

Mrs. Gu frowned: No one is allowed to make trouble today, if anyone makes trouble again, go back to your own home.The third daughter-in-law, you come and help me cook, and the eldest daughter-in-law, you go and help the boss and the others prepare the things they need to worship the elderly later. "

Sister-in-law Gu and Fu Rong went out with Mrs. Gu, leaving Sister-in-law Gu alone in the room.During this period of time, she has been lingering on Mrs. Gu's side and will not go back.At the beginning, Mrs. Gu also said to her a few times that she always used her stomachache as an excuse.Over time, Mrs. Gu and the others just turned a blind eye to Second Sister Gu, treating her as if she didn't exist.

The day of New Year's Eve is actually quite tiring, and it took most of the day just to cook the reunion dinner.The pigs were killed two days ago, and they were hung piece by piece under the eaves to dry.Fu Rong cut two plates of bacon and sausage to steam, and steamed some smoked chicken and fish.There are also whole fish, whole chicken, whole duck and so on.When the last dish was on the table, when Furong took off her apron, she felt that she couldn't straighten her waist.

Today's meal is for everyone to serve on the table.Furong was the last to come.Today is a big reunion table, and the table is full of dishes.Several children swallowed their saliva straight at the roast chicken.

Mr. Gu picked up the bowl and scanned the people on the table one by one, with a gratified smile on his face: "Today is New Year's Eve, everyone knows the meaning of this festival. I won't say much here , I just hope that we can have so many people sitting together every year and have a happy reunion!" As he said, Old Gu drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

After hearing what Old Man Gu said, Mrs. Gu's expression on her face unconsciously froze. In fact, she was still missing a person.I don't know what happened to the eldest daughter outside.When Mrs. Gu raised the cup, she felt as if there was something empty in her heart.She closed her eyes and drank the glass of wine.

The meals on the reunion night were full of oil and water, and there were many kinds, most of which were spoons from Furongzhang. Everyone ate to their heart's content.Furong broke off a roasted chicken leg for Xiaotao and Tianheng, and broke off the root part of the wing for Yuanyuan.Yuanyuan was not noisy, she took it happily, and gnawed it with both hands.Several children sat together, looked at each other, and ate with smiles.Gu Lao looked at it, feeling happy in his heart, and ordered Gu Da Dao: "Feed the three children some soup, don't choke."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu hurriedly served some soup for the three children.Yuanyuan and the three of them ate with oil all over their mouths and hands.Fu Rong wiped the hands of the three children one by one, and whispered something in their ears.Xiaotao Tianheng and Yuanyuan lined up, walking towards Old Man Gu with a wine glass in his hand, of course the wine glass was filled with white wine.

"Happy Chinese New Year, grandpa and grandma!" The voices of the three children were uneven, but clear and loud.After hearing this, Old Gu's face burst into a smile, and his folds were twisted together.Gu Lao Niang was even more happy, picked up Tian Heng, and drank the wine in his hands.Old man Gu took one in each hand, finished his drink in one go, and stroked the tops of the two children's heads: "What a good boy."
