Chapter 57： God knows what you did

"Mother, I came to see you!" Zhao Guohua said with a smile.

Seeing a lot of people sitting inside, Zhao Guohua was surprised again: "Oh, Gu Yao, you guys are here too, where's your brother?"

Gu Yao replied, "Go out with Uncle."

Zhao Guohua nodded, smiled towards the old lady in the house, and said that he was still beckoning to a few small ones behind him, and ignored them both, "Come on, what are you doing in a daze, come and see you guys? Grandma."

Zhao Guohua came to the old lady and said with a smile to the old lady: "Mother, I went back to my mother's house with my sister in the morning. I will come to see you only then. You won't be upset!"

The old lady smiled, "It's okay, it's okay for my sister to go back and see my parents, but it's hard for you to come and see me intentionally."

"No, I didn't rush to see you with a few children after I got home, but I didn't bring anything here in such a hurry, Sister Rong, bring the box of biscuits to the lady."

A slightly fat and dark woman walked up behind her, "Auntie, this cookie is something that Guoqiang can't bear to eat, she said she left it for you."

This person is Zhao Guohua's wife, named Li Meirong.

The old man was happy when he heard it, "Okay, okay, it's fine when people come, and there is no need to bring things, just feed them to a few children."

The woman listened and glanced at her husband beside her, "Look, I said that the auntie didn't covet your mouth. But this is to respect you, so the child doesn't have to give it to you, sister-in-law, take it and let it go. , This thing is not easy to buy, you can only buy it in the provincial capital."

While showing off, the woman handed a slap-sized box to Li Yu, with an arrogant tone, "Sister-in-law, this thing is delicious, it's rare, and it doesn't have a lot of weight, so I can only bring a little bit for the lady."

Li Yu's face was calm. Seeing that the old lady was in a good mood, he didn't say anything, and took it.

Qin Lingling looked at the box of biscuits. There were at most a few biscuits in it. Isn't this kind of New Year's greetings a little less? Although the old man doesn't mind, it's not plausible in the end.

Gu Yao, who was standing by her side, disgusted and said, "I'm ashamed to take out this little thing?"

After listening to this, Qin Lingling couldn't help but wonder, who is this person? Called the old lady, it should be uncles or something.

But she hadn't had time to ask Gu Yao who this was, and saw the woman hurriedly asked three women and one man to come forward, "Hurry up, come to give your grandmother a New Year greeting, this child, will something happen?"

I saw that the four children were seventeen or eighteen years old, and the youngest was seven or eight. He hurried to the old man, clasped his hands, and said, "Grandma, congratulations on getting rich. Bring the red envelope."

"This child, what are you talking about?" The woman said with a smile on her face, "Mother, the child is ignorant, don't blame them, this child likes to receive red envelopes during the Chinese New Year."

"It's okay." The old lady didn't mind, and took out four red envelopes from her pocket, "Come on, four children, one person will give you a red envelope, please listen to what your parents say!"

The four took it and shouted excitedly, "Thank you, grandma."

Upon seeing this, Li Meirong patted a few more shoulders, "And your uncle and them, hurry up and pay a new year."

The four said a happy new year to Zhao Jianyou and Li Yu.

Reaching out his hand not to hit the smiley, even though Li Yu was choking in his heart, he still smiled and took out four red envelopes, "Chuner Dongdong has all grown up, come on, this is the red envelope given to you by the big aunt. Be obedient."

Li Yu started to distribute red envelopes one by one from big to small. The red envelopes were not finished yet. The youngest boy at the bottom unwrapped the red envelopes the old lady had just given.

He glanced at the money in the red envelope, and the next second he disliked: "Hey, Mom, there are only two dimes."

Li Meirong glanced, and she was indeed disgusted. She thought she could have a fifty cents, but she didn't expect it to be two cents!

As soon as this was said, all the people in the room looked bad.

Li Yu's hand was stiff in the air, and the red envelope was not finished yet.

Immediately afterwards, another girl next door opened two red envelopes and said disgustingly, "It's also two dimes. Auntie's is even less, only one dime, so small!"

At this time, even the old lady can't hold on to it. It is a good idea to give the red envelope, which makes the children happy.

Zhao Niuniu had a quick temper. Seeing her two younger siblings disliked her mother's and grandma's red envelopes, she cursed: "What is it? The red envelope that grandma gave you is big enough. What do you dislike?"

The girl who was scolded was twelve or thirteen years old, and was considered a small adult. When she heard this, she was shocked, but the next second she turned her eyes up impatiently, "I was a young man, my grandmother is casual. The red envelopes given to us all have fifty cents, the grandma is actually only two cents, and the big aunt is even more stingy, only one cent. What can we buy?"

"If you don't, you can don't!"

"Niu Niu, how do you talk?" Li Yu drank, actually not feeling well inside.

Zhao Guohua hurriedly finished the game, "Niuniu, your siblings are young and ignorant, so why do you care about them? Your grandma didn't say anything, what are you doing so loudly to scare your brother?"

Li Meirong also said: "Yeah, Niuniu, if you are so loud to scare your younger brother and sister out of nowhere, aunt, I won't forgive you. It's not that your younger brother and sister just went to grandma's house and took a few big red envelopes. , I took a small one at once, and I almost said a few words, your grandma didn't speak, why are you in a hurry?"

"you…"

Li Yu grabbed Niuniu and stepped forward and said, "Sister Rong, you can't say that. The children are small, and the adults have to teach them. The mother is still there. It's really not appropriate for a few children to say this. Same, how can you talk like that?"

Li Yu has been tolerant of this family for a long time. It is a pleasure for them to come to see the old man, but how can he say that to the old man? The red envelope says that it's not too small anymore.

Listening to her words, Li Meirong was not very happy anymore, "Sister-in-law, didn’t the child see the big money and suddenly abandon the small money? You have to teach the adults, you mean I didn’t teach the children well? Dime, my family doesn’t care about it, but the kid’s own meaning, why do you blame me for it?"

Li Meirong looked at Gu Zheng who had just walked in from outside the house, "Hey, it happened that the mountain was also here. You can tell me, comment, is this my problem, or whose problem?"

"Don't disturb the mountain. You know what kind of person you are. Isn't it embarrassing to be like this every year? Is it easy for the elderly to make you feel so disgusted? If you are impatient, don't come!"

Li Yu's most uncomfortable look is Li Meirong's arrogant appearance. If it weren't for knowing what this family is like, she wouldn't be angry and retorted a few words today.

"Hey, Li Yu, what are you talking about? I asked Shanzi to comment on what happened. Besides, what did I say wrong? You still don't let me come, I don't want to come yet. It's not like Guohua remembers the lady. Mom, otherwise you thought you would be happy to come, originally promised to live in my mother's house tonight..."

"Why don't you stop? No one wants you to come."

"Xiaoyu, don't be angry." Zhao Jianyou took his wife by the hand and only advised her not to quarrel with them.

Li Yu saw this, thinking that the old man had already cried before, and it was not irritating to his body, so he had to endure it.

But she held it back, and Li Meirong couldn't help it, "You are just dogs looking down on people. Now Guohua is no longer a dear. You look down on us. Don't think we don't know, but look like a good person..."

Li Yu made this woman's angry face black, and still couldn't hold it back, "Li Meirong, you are embarrassed to say this."

"How sorry..."

Listening to the two women quarreling, Qin Lingling glanced at Gu Zheng next door, and motioned with her eyes: Who is this family?

I saw Gu Zheng also grimace, obviously not very happy, ready to get angry.

But before Gu Zheng could answer, I saw the old lady who had been silent and speechless suddenly patted the table and interrupted the two of them with extremely ugly expressions, "Okay, stop arguing."

I saw the old lady looking at the approaching family, her tone was a bit displeased, "Guohua, you came to see me with your daughter-in-law and child, and I was happy without taking anything. I am now half-footed in the coffin, and nothing The ability to make money can only be so big. If you don’t think it’s too small, you can make up for your children. I’m sleepy, and I’m going to take a break. You can go back if you have nothing to do!"

The old man said that he was about to get up, no matter what they thought.

Qin Lingling hurriedly stepped forward to hold her back, and the old man looked up and smiled at her.

At the old man's smile, Qin Lingling only felt that her smile was a bit stiff and bitter.

Although she didn't know what was going on, Qin Lingling intuitively told her that these people hurt the old lady's heart.

She glanced at Gu Zheng, and the two helped the old man into the house together.

When he helped the old man into the house, the noise continued outside.

Qin Lingling heard her uncle say angrily, "Mom is resting. If you don't get convinced, go out and quarrel, don't quarrel her to rest. The New Year's Eve will not make people feel safe, right?"

Zhao Guohua and Li Meirong were really not convinced, and they ran away accusing Zhao Jianyou and his wife of not being like individuals.

"Why don't we look like individuals anymore?" Li Yu said in an air, "His second uncle, do you hold on to your conscience and say, are you honest? We don't talk about coming home like this every year for the New Year, and the kid doesn't speak evenly. At that time, the little one said that he was ignorant, and the older one was ignorant? What kind of mother do you not know?"

Every year when relatives come to the door, she is most annoyed by her second uncle. Although she and her husband are brothers, she adopted it to her third uncle at an early age.

The third uncle’s family was in a good family situation in the early years, and there was only a son like the second uncle. Even if it was adopted, it was painful to the bones. Although they all lived in the same brigade, the second uncle rarely came to visit him and raised him. For the five-year parents, only the third uncle and his wife came to see their elder brothers and sisters during the holidays, and they were thankful to them.

Until the second uncle got married, the three uncles and the couple were getting older, and the family was not as good as before, so the second uncle had contact with the family, but only when they came to sell a well-behaved, obedient, good son, wanted to follow What can the old man salvage here?

It's the old lady's son. Even if it's not good, she doesn't have much to say as a daughter-in-law. People come when they love, and they can't ask for anything from her when they come. At most, the old lady will shave a little bit, so these In 2016, everyone maintained the relationship in the face to live.

But year after year, the second uncle’s family is gradually reluctant to even pretend to pretend. Every time they come to see the mother who raises oneself, what do they bring with them every time? Either two radishes, two handfuls of greens, or just the few cakes that she brought today. She suspects that she can buy something without a dime. Maybe she brought it directly from the rest of her family's food.

You know, these years, when children give red envelopes, it's almost enough to give a few cents, and the extra is only a dime.

Now the old people are too old and don’t want to care about so much. The children are just obedient and well-behaved. The red envelopes are also given year after year, and one red envelope is two cents. These four children cost eight cents.

The old lady is also getting old, and she has nothing to make money. Didn't she rely on juniors to give some pocket money all year round? These two cents are also a lot, but what does one or two dislike? She felt uncomfortable for her mother-in-law.

"You are like this every year. You brought two pieces of rotten bread to your door, and you also took a bite of a good thing and brought it back to eat. It's not uncommon for me. The old man is here, so I can do a little bit of face-saving work for you for five years. , You were born in October of pregnancy, are you ashamed to treat her this way? Where is she sorry for you? The good days are all over for you!" Li Yu is very worthless for her mother-in-law, so she can't hold back anymore.

Li Meirong was still arguing, "What good days have we finished? Who is going to have a good life now? Your family eats well and drinks well, and if you are in difficulty, you can borrow some money, and even push back and forth."

"That's because you are lazy!"

"you…"

When Qin Lingling and Gu Zheng came out of the hall, they heard both parties arguing outside.

Although it was unclear, she should know that she took a look at Gu Zheng and finally asked, "Who are these people, why are they so unpleasant?"

"Let's call the second uncle by seniority, but..." Gu Zheng paused. Hearing the louder and more fierce outside, he hurried out.

Qin Lingling hurriedly followed, only to see that the quarrel between the two sides became more fierce. If it weren't for the unsightly face, I'm afraid they would have started fighting.

"Stop arguing!" Gu Zheng suddenly walked out of the house in a fierce manner, and the fierce crowd who had just been arguing suddenly stopped.

Zhao Guohua rolled up his sleeves, "Gu Zheng, just in time you are here, commenting on the big guy."

Li Meirong also followed: "Yes, you come to judge, who of us is wrong in this matter?"

Gu Zheng glanced at them coldly, "I don't want to judge, it's just that people are watching, whether it is reasonable, what you are thinking in your heart, you know for yourself, I don't care what you bring to the door? Grandma is not young anymore. , I had a serious illness a year ago, and now I am still not okay. I hope you can understand her as an old man and don’t bother him with everything all day long."

With that, Gu Zheng fixed his eyes on his second uncle Zhao Guohua.

Being stared at by him like this, Zhao Guohua felt as if he had holes all over his body, and the soles of his feet rose with a chill.

"Second uncle, although you have adopted your uncle's family, you are also born by your grandmother. Grandma is getting older. With your uncle, you usually don't spend a penny on food and drink. Don't come to her old man if you have money or money. ."

Zhao Guohua was choked to death, but Li Meirong refused to accept him being disciplined by an outsider. She pointed to: "Gu Zheng, how do you talk? How do you say we are also your elders, how can you teach us the truth? Let's talk about it. You are a grandson, why do you care about our internal affairs? You need to be picked up by your mother. It has nothing to do with our Zhao family."

"The second uncle also gave it to the third uncle, so why are you embarrassed to come over and ask for money? Or are you just here to see the grandmother's old man?"

"I..." Li Meirong choked, she was guilty.

Because they are indeed asking for money this time, although the old lady did not go to work, she paid a lot of children and grandchildren during the holidays. Even if Guohua passed away, she was also her son. Now she is living poorly. It's okay to borrow some money.

It's just that Li Meirong doesn't know, how did Gu Zheng know that they want to borrow money?

"What, do you still want to borrow money?" Li Yu exclaimed.

Zhao Jianyou also asked his brother, "Guohua, is this true?"

Although the couple could not figure out their minds, the matter of borrowing money was not bright at all. This would make a calm face. In the end, Zhao Guohua couldn't bear it and took the family away.

When people left, Li Yu was relieved.

He just looked at Gu Zheng and asked puzzledly: "Shanzi, how do you know your second uncle and the others are borrowing money?"

Gu Zheng replied, "Guess it."

"Oh."

The aunt didn't think much, but Qin Lingling looked at Gu Zheng, but she was surprised.

How could he, a person who has not been at home all the year round, know so well about his grandmother's house? Even if he cares about his grandmother's side, but he doesn't even know how to get along with his sister and stepmother in the family, how can he know about the grandmother's house?

The suspiciousness in her eyes did not hide from Gu Zheng's eyes.

Gu Zheng turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, just a little curious..."

"Curious about what?"

"no."

Although she didn't know how Gu Zheng knew, she was very curious, what was going on with this man named Second Uncle? Listening to them means adoptive.

Seeking a chance, Qin Lingling asked curiously when the two were alone.

Gu Zheng didn't keep her from telling her about family affairs.

It turns out that Gu Zheng's grandmother raised three sons and one daughter. The daughter was Zhao E, who died early, and the other three sons, the eldest son Zhao Jianyou, the second son Zhao Jianhua, and the third son Zhao Jianlin.

The old lady followed the eldest son in the village, and the younger son was more patient. She ran transportation for people in a factory in the county town. She would come back to visit the old lady when she was free during the holidays. The daughter-in-law was obedient and had a happy life. When I had a New Year’s Eve dinner at home, I said that my daughter-in-law was going to her natal house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so she had to wait until the fourth and fifth day of the day to come back.

Only different from the other three children, the second son, Zhao Jianhua, adopted his third uncle’s family at a very young age and changed his name to Zhao Guohua.

Grandpa Gu Zheng has five brothers, and I don’t know what’s going on. There are five brothers and a bunch of daughters, but few sons, especially the third uncle, who gave birth to five daughters and no son. It’s Grandma Gu Zheng. Ability, gave birth to three big fat boys.

No, in those days, Wuer was a dead end. A family who married a daughter-in-law and had children but had no one to carry would be laughed to death.

As soon as the youngest son was born, the in-laws above the old lady said that they would adopt the younger son as the son of the third uncle's family, so that they could leave an incense for their family.

It's all the meat that fell from the body. The old lady is naturally unhappy. It has just passed the full moon, so my heart hurts!

At this moment, the second son seemed to be smelling something, but he ran to the third uncle’s house diligently. Later, he probably knew that the old lady was unwilling to adopt the little one. The five-year-old second son was diligent. Finally, the third uncle’s husband and his wife came to the top of the house. The old couple negotiated and said that they wanted their second child to be a son.

This matter spread to the old lady's ears, and she was naturally unwilling, but the second child wanted to live life and death, saying that the third uncle's house eats more, and he is going to be his son at the third uncle's house.

No, the old lady couldn't twist her thighs with her arms. In the end, the son passed away. He came over during the holidays and called a lady.

When Gu Zheng finished speaking, Qin Lingling couldn't help sighing, "No wonder this is the case."

"The life of the third uncle's family was pretty good in the early years. This is also the reason why the second uncle wants to live the past. However, the past two years have been unsatisfactory. The second uncle wants to seek some benefits from the family."

"Then he is really shameless."

Gu Zheng smiled and didn't say a word. Looking forward, Qin Lingling didn't know what she was thinking.

In fact, he has seen them more shameless, which is nothing.

It's just that the grandmother's house is far away, and it is not easy for him to come once. In the future, he will have to rely on his uncle and his uncle. The only thing fortunately is that grandma is not that kind of pedantic and softhearted person.

afternoon.

Qin Lingling was outside with her aunt and they talked all afternoon.

Seeing Gu Zheng coming, Li Yu, who had adjusted his emotions, smiled at Gu Zheng: "Shanzi, you take your wife around. You don't need to work at home. Niuniu and Yaoyao have both gone out to play, you guys. Go too."

Gu Zheng answered, turned around and asked Qin Lingling, "Would you like to go for a walk?"

Qin Lingling was about to go out for a walk, and went to her.

This village is not much different from Xiaogu Village. There are mountains and fields everywhere. It is the dormant period of the land. Now the land is empty except for weeds and harvested rice stalks.

The two of them didn't speak either, they just walked innocently.

Compared to Gu Zheng who was nervous at the beginning, Qin Lingling is not so nervous now, but the atmosphere is still embarrassing.

"By the way, there is a beautiful place here, do you want to see it?" When Qin Lingling wanted to find a reason to go back, Gu Zheng suddenly said.

"Where?"

"Would you like to check it out?"

Seeing what Gu Zheng said was so mysterious, Qin Lingling was also curious, "Then, go and see!"

The author has something to say: Ah... I have a broken waist. There is one more update today. These days are tens of thousands, but the update is not on time, forgive me.
