Chapter 130： When I go back to my mother's house, I'm glad to see Gu Daniu

With things in her heart, Gu Shuixiu felt that the waiting time was a little long. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the weather showed signs of warming up. When Gu Shuixiu discovered it, the mountains were full of ice water worlds, and the river outside Cuizhu Mountain was still covered with thick ice, and it would take at least March to wait for the ice to dissipate.

Gu Shuixiu can't wait that long. When Uncle Qin came to visit and said that the mountain road was feasible, Gu Shuixiu immediately asked Cuixi to pack up for Zhao Baoer and Zhao Nizi. Clothes, after arranging the family affairs, the group of four went out of Cuizhu Mountain.

On the way, Zhao Nizi hesitated several times, Gu Shuixiu just pretended not to see it, Gu Shuixiu didn’t ask, Dong Chenghu would not even ask, he had already heard Gu Shuixi talk about Zhao Nizi’s situation, on this matter , Dong Chenghu doesn't plan to express his opinion, after all, Zhao Nizi is a relative of the Gu family. If he interferes, it will make Shuixiu difficult to do.

No one spoke, Zhao Nizi had a ghost in her heart and dared not take the initiative to ask questions, the four of them went all the way to Caozi Village in silence, only Zhao Baoer looked around curiously and asked Dong Chenghu from time to time Innocent questions, Dong Chenghu patiently answered them one by one.

Although the mountain road is open, the ice and snow on the road have not completely melted, and wet snow water flows on the ice and snow, which makes it even more difficult to walk. In addition, the mountain road is not easy to walk. People set out from the morning and did not arrive at Caozi Village until late afternoon.

The impact of the earthquake on Caozi Village has not completely disappeared. Some people whose houses collapsed because they had no money to rebuild their houses built a thick thatched house to spend their days. Pay attention to the snow conditions. If the snow is too heavy, you should come out in time to clear the snow to avoid the heavy snow crushing the house.

At this time, Caozi Village was as quiet as a person going to an empty village. There was not a single person on the rural road, not even a dog. It was estimated that everyone was hiding at home to keep warm. Poor people can't afford cotton-padded jackets and have no right to get sick. Only by hiding at home in such weather can save money as much as possible.

Gu Shuixiu looked at such a village with a gloomy mood, and when she thought about what she was going to tell the Zhao family, she was even gloomier. The mistakes she made should be borne by herself. She thought that this cousin had done a good enough job. If Zhao Nizi was not satisfied, it was not her business.

Dong Chenghu gently knocked on the Gu family, and unexpectedly saw Gu Daniu also at home.

Gu Daniu saw that Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu had returned, and was very surprised. He rushed out of the main room and laughed loudly in a slightly refined voice: "Eldest sister, brother-in-law, why are you back? Shanlu pass?"

Gu Daniu looked at Gu Shuixiu up and down, and nodded with satisfaction, Gu Shuixiu seemed to be a little more beautiful since the last time they met, and out of the corner of the eye floated to Zhao Baoer and Zhao Nizi, Gu Daniu nodded with a smile signal.

After the group entered the house, Mr. Zhao happily brought them a lot of food from the kitchen. It happened to be the first month of the year, and the most important thing in the family was food. The melon and fruit snacks brought back from the county seat cannot be eaten by the whole family.

Gu Shuixiu twisted a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake with kindness, and after chewing slowly in her mouth, she squinted her eyes and enjoyed it, and said, "This should be the cake bought by the largest pastry shop in the county. ."

Gu Daniu looked surprised, leaned over to Gu Shuixiu and asked in surprise, "Sister, how did you know? There are more than one or two stores selling sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in the county."

"There are more than one or two, but there are only one that can make honey. Why do you think their sweet-scented osmanthus cakes are more expensive than others? It's not because their store is bigger, it's It's because of the materials used." Gu Shuixiu shook his head helplessly, Gu Daniu had been shopping at the county office for a day or two, and he didn't even know the reason.

Gu Daniu scratched his head embarrassedly, "I usually buy ingredients, like cakes, only the magistrate's wife or young lady can eat them, they have special servants to call, I I have almost never been to this kind of pastry shop, and if I didn't think about bringing you a New Year's gift, I wouldn't go into this kind of shop."

Zhao shi listened to their brothers and sisters talking, full of satisfied smiles, although she did not understand what Gu Shuixiu and Gu Daniu said, but to her they were her sons and daughters They are all knowledgeable and capable people, how could this knowledge not make her happy?

When Gu Shuixiu and Gu Daniu finished the topic of pastry, Zhao turned his head, just saw Zhao Nizi sitting obediently beside him, so he took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Zhao Nizi at will, loving kindness He said: "Take it and eat it, this is what your eldest cousin brought back from the county seat. You can also taste such an expensive thing."

Zhao Nizi raised her head and glanced at Zhao Shi, answered in a low voice, took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Zhao Shi handed her, and ate it very inattentively.

Gu Shuixiu saw it but didn't break it, but asked Gu Daniu, "In the past, you went back to the county town after the fifth day of the new year, why didn't you go back to the fifteenth this year?"

Gu Daniu threw a peanut into his mouth, chewed a couple of bites, and said inarticulately: "This year, the county magistrate asked for leave and took his family back to their hometown for Chinese New Year. In Shui County, the yamen will not be opened until the 22nd of the first month of the first month, and I will go back before the 22nd of the first month of the first month. Now I have nothing to eat in the county yamen, and there is no place to go, so I might as well stay at home and feel comfortable.”

When Mr. Zhao heard what Gu Daniu said, he couldn't stop nodding and laughing: "It's this gift, a thousand miles is not as good as home, no matter how far you go, your home is the most comfortable."

Other people agreed with this point. After talking for a while, Gu Shuixiu hinted to Dong Chenghu twice, Dong Chenghu found an excuse to spend Gu Mingde out, the two talked outside for a while, and then again When he entered the room, Gu Mingde had already restrained his smile, and there was a faint glow of anger in his eyes.

The Zhao family knew Gu Mingde the best. Seeing that he changed after going out, an uneasy premonition suddenly surged in his heart, and he found an excuse to call Gu Mingde back to the room to speak.

Zhao Nizi doesn't know the interaction between Gu Mingde and Zhao, but as long as Gu Shuixiu doesn't talk to Zhao alone, she is relieved.

Zhao and Gu Mingde entered the room silently all the way, Gu Mingde sat directly by the bed with anger on his face, didn't look at Zhao, didn't speak, obviously he was sulking.

The Zhao family did not know why, so he sat down next to Gu Mingde worriedly, and asked cautiously: "Head of the family, what happened? Who made you angry?"

Gu Mingde turned his head and glanced at Zhao Shi, a sentence stuck in his throat, unable to speak or swallow, and finally sighed loudly in a hurry.
