Chapter 56： Spawn

Walking outside, it was Gu Zheng's uncle Zhao Jianyou and his cousin Zhao Wenshan.

Li Yu heard the voice and smiled at Gu Zheng: "Your uncle is back."

As he said, people have entered the yard.

Seeing Gu Zheng, Zhao Jianyou and his son looked surprised.

"Shanzi is here?"

Cousin Zhao Wenshan stepped forward and exclaimed with joy: "The cousin's treason has finally come, and grandma has been looking forward to you for a long time."

Gu Zheng stepped forward and responded, "Well, today I will bring Lingling and Yaoyao to see you."

"Well, okay, okay. Now that I'm here, go, come in and have a drink with Uncle."

"Okay." Uncle and nephew walked ahead, followed by cousin and aunt.

The old lady Zhao in the house was keeping a close eye on Qin Lingling. After all, this was the first time the new wife came to the house, and the old lady saw it strangely.

The old lady has always liked Gu Zheng, his grandson, so she is also very curious about his daughter-in-law.

Earlier I heard about Gu Zheng’s marriage. It’s just that he was a soldier. In this matter of marriage, he received a certificate and did not organize any weddings. He even went back to the army when he got the certificate and returned home.

Later, when the old lady became ill, she heard from the granddaughter who was taking care of her about Gu's troubles, including Gu Zheng, whose grandson almost sacrificed. The old lady's heart was clutching so badly that she only thought that such a good child, why so many Tribulation.

However, I learned from my granddaughter that this new sister-in-law is very good, not only good to her, but also good at everything.

This is a good thing, and it’s not as good as taking a look at it now.

Just a glance, the old lady was so close to Qin Lingling's grandson and daughter-in-law, her hands tightly held each other's hands, "Lingling, grandma has heard about the family affairs, so I feel wronged."

Qin Lingling sat there obediently, when she heard this, she raised her head, shook her head and smiled at the old lady, "Grandma, it's not wrong, it's good."

The old lady didn’t think so, and shook her head, “You don’t have to tell your grandmother. Although the two cheeks are so far apart, grandma has also heard about the situation in your home. Then Li Dani is a arrogant person. At that time, Yaoyao didn't have a good life under her hands. Fortunately, now that she has grown up, she can be a family, and she has married a daughter-in-law."

The old lady sighed that Qin Lingling couldn’t say anything. She listened to her quietly and looked at the old lady. She felt like watching her grandmother caring about herself, although she didn’t even know who her parents were. Let alone grandma.

The old lady took her hand and muttered a few words, and then the four uncles and nephews outside the door walked in.

Looking at Gu Zheng, the old lady smiled and waved, "Shan Shan, hurry up, come over and talk to grandma."

"Uncle is looking for me to drink." Gu Zheng said.

The old lady glared disgustedly, "Whether grandma is important or uncle is important? How long has it been since grandma has seen your child?"

The old man acted like a child.

Seeing her behavior, Qin Lingling aside was a little surprised. Although this coquetry is a bit against the peace, but inexplicably feels warm and lovely.

Old kids, old kids, I'm talking about cute old people like Grandma Gu Zheng!

Gu Zheng couldn't laugh or cry, and responded, "To me, it's all important."

"Then are you talking to grandma, or your uncle?"

Zhao Jianyou is obviously accustomed to the coquettish appearance of his old mother, smiling and patting his nephew on the shoulder, "Go first, you can drink any time, grandma is older, we have to respect the old and love the young, right?"

"Yes."

"This is grandma's good grandson."

With Gu Zheng here, Qin Lingling, the new wife, doesn't need to be constantly asked by her grandmother like just now, she can finally take a good breath.

The old man hadn't seen Gu Zheng for several years. Even if he did, he just met him in a hurry, and then he returned to the army.

"In the past few years, grandma has always worried that you can't eat well and sleep well outside. Why do you run so far?"

While the old man complained, he felt distressed at the same time.

But she also knew that her grandson served as a soldier to protect her family and the country. The elderly who came out of the old society understood the importance of the soldiers to this country. Without them, the country could not have been prosperous today.

It's just that I feel sorry for the child, and I go out at a young age. The training of soldiers must be hard. The more I think about it, the old man feels uncomfortable.

Seeing the old man keep wiping his tears, Gu Zheng wanted to persuade him to do something, but he could only say, "Don't cry, grandma, I'm fine, don't you think I'm fine?"

The old man's emotions come and go fast, and he nodded while wiping his tears, "Okay, it's fine."

She looked at Qin Lingling on the side, very satisfied, and took the hands of the two children, "You are now married. If your mother could see it, how happy this would be!"

Speaking of the death of Zhao E, the house was still festive just now, but suddenly fell silent.

Zhao E sitting at home is an unspeakable topic. If it weren’t for the old lady to mention it, no one would dare to talk about it. I don't know how long it took to ease back then.

Now even if she said it, everyone else couldn't help but breathe in cold air, for fear that the old lady would think deeply and hurt her body with sorrow.

"You said that your mother is such a good person, why did he disappear at a young age? If he could see you like this today, he would be so happy, don't you?"

Gu Zheng didn't dare to speak, he didn't even dare to speak out.

Gu Yao wanted to cry again, so she ran out quickly, and her cousin was also called to follow her by her aunt.

For Gu Yao, her mother is a vague memory, simply because she has never received the care and love of her biological mother. But Gu Zheng was different. His mother died when he was almost eight years old. He remembered the mother who had inconvenient legs but loved their siblings deeply, remembered her gentle smile, remembered that she would wake up early for them every day and be greedy for the dark, for fear that he could not give them more. good life.

The old man was getting older, crying more and hurting his body. Gu Zheng could only persuade him, but after all, he was the stupidest person. After thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to do to make the old man forget these sad things.

Qin Lingling was entrusted with an important task to persuade the old lady to meet Gu Zheng's eyes.

She looked at the two closest to the old lady. Except for her, it was Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng couldn't comfort anyone. The more the old man cried, the more sad she was. It made her cry uncomfortable. Others rushed to persuade her, but it still worked. Minimal.

"Grandma, don't cry. If you cry too much and hurt your body, if your mother-in-law is still there, I definitely don't want to see you so sad. She hopes everyone is well..."

The old lady was so sad that she was buried in her heart for too long, even if Qin Lingling wanted to persuade her, she couldn't help it.

In fact, she doesn't recommend persuading. After all, people feel uncomfortable. If you don't vent it, you will feel more uncomfortable if you are bored in your heart. If there is a way to make her cry well, maybe she will feel better.

Therefore, when Gu Zheng wanted to say something, Qin Lingling shook her head at him, “If you cry, your grandmother may feel better, but holding it back in your heart will only make you sick.”

Gu Zheng must have seen and remembered that the grandmother, who was much older, felt like an ant scratching her heart.

The old lady actually knows what she is doing? It’s also because I have too much emotion today, thinking of the poor girl who died young, and seeing that two grandsons are now grown up, and the grandson is still married to a daughter-in-law. I have a lot of emotions, and I will unknowingly affect the past and want to cry. One game.

After all, it is an old man who has experienced ups and downs. Although uncomfortable, he adjusted himself quickly.

He wiped his tears, and smiled hard at several juniors and said: "Grandma is fine, don't worry, just thinking that your mother didn't see you grow up, and it was a bit uncomfortable for her, but the life is still going to be passed, she is there. , I certainly hope to see that we are all well."

The old man was so transparent that several juniors couldn't help worrying about her.

After that, the old lady said a few more words to the children, but just now she cried a lot and was tired, and said she would go to rest, but when they entered the house, they let Gu Zheng and Qin Lingling help them in.

Seeing that the old man's mood has almost recovered, Qin Lingling also sincerely admires the gray-haired old man. She is a strong person and a transparent and distressed old man.

Gu Zheng carefully helped the old man to sit down and covered her with a quilt.

But the old lady waved her hand, "Don't worry, grandma called you in, just to say a few words with you." Then, she waved, let the two sit on the stool and go out without worry.

Qin Lingling brought a stool and put it in front of him. The couple sat beside the old man from left to right. In the caring eyes of the old man, Qin Lingling always felt that the old man should have something important to tell them next.

Seeing the kettle and cups on the table, Qin Lingling worried that the old man was crying too much. She poured a cup of warm water and passed it over, with a soft and cute voice, "Grandma, drink some water."

"Okay, okay." The old man took the tea and looked at this well-behaved little wife with satisfaction.

She took a couple of sips before she looked at her grandson and sighed, "Is Grandma scared you today?"

Gu Zheng shook his head, "No, it's just that my grandmother is not in good health. She cries too much and hurts her body, so she is worried about you."

The old lady shook her head, "It's okay, just crying and crying. Grandma is happy today. I haven't seen you for a long time. Now I have married a daughter-in-law and got married. Life is booming, and grandma is happy."

"Um."

The old man sighed and looked at Qin Lingling, "Your daughter-in-law is a good girl, a good daughter-in-law, you are blessed by marrying her. You must cherish such a good daughter-in-law, and love her so as not to hurt her. , Makes her tired and suffering. Are you a man? You have a heavy task. You have to take up a family. Although you are a soldier, you have to defend your home and the country, but don’t neglect your daughter-in-law. You have to come back when you have time. Take a look at home, you know?"

Gu Zheng nodded earnestly and agreed with the old man's indoctrination, "Well, I know."

"Oh, now that you are all grown up, grandma has nothing to worry about. Whenever you come to see grandma, grandma will be happy." Then, the old man moved his gaze from his grandson to Qin Lingling next door, and then laughed. Laughing, hold the hands of the two.

Seeing the withered and rough hand holding her, Qin Lingling was startled by the other hand holding Gu Zheng next door. In the next second, the hands of the two of them were pulled together by the old man, and the old man’s hands closed. write.

Gu Zheng's hand was hot and hot, pressing on the back of her hand, she could even feel the roughness of his palm.

"Seeing that your husband and wife are living well, grandma is also happy, but Xiaoshan, you are not too young anymore, and it is time to have a child. With a child, your daughter-in-law is at home alone and will not be so lonely anymore. If you are transferred or discharged, it would be better to live together."

The words of the old man really shocked Qin Lingling, who was hanging her head and looking at her hand.

She wanted to tell her grandmother that she was not alone at all, this life is fulfilling, and there are endless tasks every day, how nice it is!

Gu Zheng also didn't expect that the old man would talk about this, because he hadn't thought about it at all. After all, he and Qin Lingling are not a simple couple now.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, the old man was suspicious, "What's wrong? Grandma said something wrong? Are you not happy?"

The old man first saw Qin Lingling, but Qin Lingling couldn't answer even a word.

"Shan, don't you like it?"

Gu Zheng didn't dare to say it any more. If he is happy, Qin Lingling is sitting next door. If you say this, I am afraid that she has an idea. I am not happy. The old man is here. This is to worry her.

Qin Lingling was entangled in her heart, but she thought that the old man had just cried. It would be hard to say these things to stimulate her.

When Gu Zheng was embarrassed, Qin Lingling quickly agreed: "Grandma, we will."

After Qin Lingling finished speaking, Gu Zheng glanced at her in disbelief, and Qin Lingling was even more panicked at that glance.

The old lady was happy when she heard it, "That's good, that's good." Knowing that young people have their own ideas, the old woman added, "But the child's matter depends on fate. Anyway, you are still young, so grandma just talks a lot. Having said that, don’t worry about it, Shanzi, work hard, haha..."

Gu Zheng: "...Hmm."

Qin Lingling: "Ha ha, ha ha..."

Qin Lingling didn't take this matter to heart. Hearing the old man's "working hard", she couldn't hold her face at all, she hung her head and her face became hot.

How did the old lady know that this young couple was different from what she had imagined. Watching Qin Lingling blushing with her head down, she also joked to Gu Zheng: "Your wife is shy. Grandma won't talk about it. Let's talk about it. Grandma will go to bed first. , Your relationship is more important than everything."

"Um."

When the old lady was coaxed to rest, the two of them left the house.

And Qin Lingling, who had just said openly that she would have children, when she faced Gu Zheng alone, her little face was a bit unbearable, she.

She struggled for a while before she said: "Those I just told grandma, you..."

"Don't mind what grandma said." Gu Zheng said before Qin Lingling could finish.

"what?"

Gu Zheng said: "Grandma is getting older, so she hopes her children and grandchildren will be full, but this has to be treated differently. Besides, you are still young, so let's talk about these things later!"

"okay."

After Qin Lingling answered, she always felt Gu Zheng's words weird. But didn't wait for her to think of something? Gu Zheng asked his uncle to call, and had a drink with his cousin Zhao Wenshan.

Gu Zheng went to drink, Qin Lingling had no choice but to turn around.

The sound of "chop chop chop chop chop" came from the cabin next to the house. Before Qin Lingling stepped forward, her cousin Niu Niu just went out to sprinkle water. When she saw her, she cried, "Sister-in-law."

Qin Lingling looked down the house, "What is going on in the house?"

"Oh, my mom and they are cooking, do you want to come in and have a look?"

Qin Lingling nodded, thinking about what the kitchen should be able to help.

Seeing her coming in, Li Yu smiled and asked, "How is your grandma?"

"Take a rest, and my mood stabilizes."

Li Yu nodded, "That's good. Your grandma is usually strong. Maybe today I saw you here. People are happy and happy and think of some unhappy things, but it's okay. She is strong and doesn't worry."

"Um."

Although they have not been together for a while, Qin Lingling can also see what kind of person the old lady is. People who can walk through the wars have experienced a lot and are naturally stronger than their children who grew up in peaceful times.

Watching them wash vegetables and chop meat, Qin Lingling asked, "Is my aunt cooking now?"

"Um."

When it comes to cooking, Gu Yao, who is peeling garlic, has something to say, "Auntie, my sister-in-law cooks deliciously."

"Oh, is it?" Li Yu turned around and looked at Qin Lingling. "The last time Yaoyao came to see her grandmother, she didn't say less about how capable your sister-in-law is."

Qin Lingling said modestly: "It's all Yaoyao exaggerating, not as exaggerated as she said, I will just cook a few home-cooked dishes."

"No, my aunt, my sister-in-law's cooking is really delicious. Anyway, I have eaten her dishes, and I feel that what I cook is pig food."

Qin Lingling: "It's not so exaggerated, Yaoyao, don't scare your aunt and them."

Niuniu covered her mouth and snickered, "Sister Yaoyao never lied."

"No matter what, there must be real materials. How about, do you want to show us today?" Li Yu pointed to the ingredients on the table.

This was praised by my sister-in-law, and Qin Lingling was a little embarrassed.

"Auntie, I might make a joke when I took out this craft. It's not delicious, isn't it a waste?"

"Hey, it's okay. You can do it. There are a lot of vegetables and meat in the house, and a lot of everything. Just now your uncle said that they caught a big wild boar in the mountain and the team is slaughtering them. Each house will be divided into points when the time comes."

The aunt has said this, how can Qin Lingling refuse any more, "Then I will just do it?"

"Okay, the three of us will help you."

Gu Yao said, "Auntie, my sister-in-law's yellow braised pork is delicious, the greens are also delicious, and the soup is fresh. The pickled cabbage fish head soup cooked at home before is delicious."

For Gu Yao, no matter what dishes the sister-in-law cooks, they are delicious.

With Gu Yao here, Qin Lingling, which seemed to her very ordinary craft, has become a master in the eyes of the three.

She didn't show her timidity either, seeing the ingredients on the table, her hands and feet quickly became busy.

She peeled a few potatoes, then cut the potatoes into pieces, soaked them in clean water first, and then asked her aunt for some soybean soaking.

Gu Yao on the side flattened the peeled garlic with a kitchen knife, and then cut it into garlic paste. The two aunts were busy, and the aunt took out the crucian carp that had been kept in the water tank, and then cut her belly to remove the scales. Niuniu was also preparing to burn. Each is busy.

Fry the fat from the fat chicken left over from the 30th night of the new year in the pot to fry the oil first, then wait for the oil to heat up, throw the garlic into the pot, stir fry quickly, add salt, and then pour the vegetables in. Stir fry in the fire.

Li Yu looked at Qin Lingling's skillful cooking techniques, and she looked like she often cooks, and praised: "Lingling looks like a daughter-in-law who knows how to cook."

The wok sound was a bit loud, Qin Lingling couldn't hear her clearly, she just turned her head and smiled at her aunt.

A green vegetable is quickly fried, because the stir-fried garlic is added, and it has the effect of chicken fat, and the fragrance instantly floats.

The three people in the house couldn't help taking a deep breath, and it was so frank to say!

Seeing their exaggerated expressions, Qin Lingling was a little embarrassed.

After frying the vegetables, Qin Lingling began to prepare the stew with potatoes and meat.

There is actually no skill to cook these dishes, and she hasn’t even read the recipes. She just messed up according to her own feelings. As long as the sauce is just right and the heat is just right, in fact, no matter what the dish is, it won’t be too much. It's unpalatable, let alone pork?

The large chunks of seven-point fat and three-point lean pork are first stir-fried, and then the potato chunks soaked in the surface flour are put into the pot and stir-fried together, and then the oil and salt sauce is added, and the meat is simmered for half an hour. It will become soft and elastic, and the potatoes are soft but not sticky, which is very delicious.

The smell of the kitchen keeps drifting out, and the three uncles and nephews who are drinking in the next room feel the smell from their noses as they drink.

"Who is cooking, it smells good!" Zhao Jianyou said.

Gu Zheng laughed and said, "It should be the aunt who is cooking. When we left just now, wasn't the aunt busy in the kitchen?"

Zhao Jianyou shook his head, a little uncertain.

Here, my cousin Zhao Wenshan said directly: "No way, is my mother cooking so fragrant?"

"Just go and see. Wenshan, you just happened to go and see what your mom makes delicious?"

Zhao Wenshan responded and hurried out.

After a while, he came back.

"Dad, it's not my mother who is cooking, it's my cousin who is cooking."

"Oh?" Zhao Jianyou quickly sat upright and looked at the nephew opposite, "Is your wife cooking?"

Gu Zheng also didn't know, and looked at his cousin.

"It's my cousin who is cooking. Yaoyao told my mother that my cousin is good at cooking. My mother asked her to show her hands. No, she's braising potato wedges."

"How can this allow guests to cook? Your mother is too shameless. When your cousin comes to the house for the first time, let her cook." Zhao Jianyou said, quickly got up and called Shang Gu Zheng, "Go, let's also Go check it out!"

"Um."

Close to the kitchen, the smell is even more tangy.

The three stood at the door, watching the busy figures in the house.

I saw Qin Lingling skillfully stir fry, add water, put oil and salt, and cover the pot. After this series of actions, people feel like a person who has been busy in the kitchen for many years.

The scent floated out from the kitchen, and I only heard the uncle praise Gu Zheng, "You have found a good wife! I said before that the educated youth in the city are pampered, and their eyes are low. I didn't expect this child to be pretty good, you kid. Have a vision."

Seeing his uncle's hand on his shoulder, Gu Zheng just smiled, and then looked at Qin Lingling who was cooking in the kitchen, Gu Zheng felt a sense of honor and pride in his eyes.

"I don't know how the cousin's cooking is?" Zhao Wenshan asked.

Gu Zheng was humble and didn't respond. He knew that Qin Lingling's cooking was delicious.

Zhao Jianyou replied: "Smell the flavour and it will fragrant, and the dishes will definitely be delicious."

The voices of the three people alarmed the people in the room. Qin Lingling looked at the people at the door, her face was thin and she couldn't hold herself any longer.

Looking at Gu Zheng, he looked at her with a smile. He didn't know if it was smoked with oil or something, and suddenly became red.

This small kitchen was crowded with a group of people, but in the end Li Yu drove them out, leaving him to burn himself to help.

When cooking, Qin Lingling was praised by everyone. During the meal, Qin Lingling was praised by everyone again. Although her face was not thin, she was a little embarrassed to be praised so repeatedly. NS.

Even the old lady whose mood has stabilized, boasted of Qin Lingling's craftsmanship, and her grandson married a good daughter-in-law.

"I just cooked casually home-cooked meals, not as exaggerated as you said."

Qin Lingling feels that her cooking is nothing but meticulousness and slowness.

People in this age are basically busy with food and clothing for three meals. It’s good to have enough food. Would they want to eat better? There are not so many raw materials.

Besides, the more time you spend on food and clothing, there will be no time for cooking. As long as the rice is cooked and the vegetables are cooked, you can swallow it, regardless of the meticulousness or the steps of cooking. And she took advantage of such a loophole. In the later generations, her cooking skill can only be said to have a bit of advantage in front of most young people who don't know how to cook.

The old lady said, "It's not like that, it's really delicious. I have never had such a delicious meal."

Qin Lingling had no choice but to say: "I will come here more when I have time from now on, and then I will cook for you, grandma, and be filial to you."

The old lady waved her hands happily and said, "No need, you guys, as long as you hurry up, give me a fat great-grandson and hug me."

The old lady raised her head, and Li Yu echoed: "Yes, what your grandmother said is right, Shanzi, Lingling, you have to hurry up, they all say that you have a baby and your recovery is fine."

Qin Lingling decided to bury her head and eat, did she kick Gu Zheng under the table, indicating that Gu Zheng would answer this time.

The little movements of the two did not hide the eyes of the elders, they were originally just for Gu Zheng to deal with it, but in the eyes of the elders, that is the interest between the young couple.

Gu Zheng said: "This should be done slowly, don't worry."

"How can it be slow, the sooner the better." My aunt wished that the two of them could have a baby now, so that everyone would be happy.

Even Zhao Jianyou couldn't help but persuade his nephew, "Shanzi, what your grandmother and aunt said is right, you, just don't have a child, this is not enough."

This person gave birth to each other, no matter how thick-skinned Qin Lingling was, she didn't know what to say, so she could only answer their birth with a stiff smile.

It's terrible to give birth! She finally understood that the fate of those relatives who were forced to marry and give birth to a second child during the Chinese New Year should not be too miserable. The most important thing is that the complicated relationship between her and Gu Zheng is not a little bit complicated, and she is still young at this age. At the age of nineteen, even if you really want to give birth, you have to wait until at least twenty-five years old!

Fortunately, it didn't take long for this to give birth, so my aunt persuaded him: "Well, let's not talk about it anymore, Lingling has become shy. This is a matter for a young couple, and they will definitely take care of it."

After that, everyone was full, got off the dinner table, and was busy cleaning up the dishes, and the matter was over.

It's just that the dishes and chopsticks have just been washed here, and everyone is sitting in the room talking and chatting, but there is a sudden noise outside, "Auntie, here we are."
