Old Gu's Home in the County
Because of the Lantern Festival, everyone is resting at home. Gu Ma started thinking about Su Qinghe early in the morning. During this New Year's Eve, she looks forward to the family reunion. However, the third son, Chang An, was far away from the army, so it was impossible for him to return. Fortunately, his daughter-in-law, Qing Miao'er, was by his side, so he hurriedly asked Deputy Magistrate Gu to call the commune, and asked them to help deliver a letter to Qing Miao'er, asking her to come over for a reunion.
By the way, Qing Miao'er's job has also been settled. Let Qing Miaoer come over to discuss when to move to Gu's house so that it is convenient for her to go to work.
As soon as Su Qinghe knocked on the door, Gu Ma went to open the door with a happy face.
Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu watched, feeling so overwhelmed that they didn't want to speak. They stayed by her mother-in-law's side all day long, and they even gave birth to a son for the old Gu's family. After running the family for so many years, her mother-in-law would criticize them when she saw them. The third daughter-in-law just entered the door with one foot, and it hurts like a baby bump...
At the door, Gu Ma pulled Su Qinghe into the room. While closing the door, he said, "Come in and sit down. We are all at home, and we are missing you and Chang'an. Chang'an can't come back, and you represent Chang'an when you come."
"Mom, I came here as soon as I heard the news." Su Qinghe entered the door with a smile, and then greeted everyone, "Dad, elder brother and second brother, elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, Xiaolei Xiaolin."
Everyone smiled and nodded. Deputy county magistrate Gu said, "Come over more in the future, your mother misses you." He couldn't fall asleep talking about it at night. He started to argue with him again, saying that Chang'an should not be sent away. Otherwise, the son and daughter-in-law could be at the same place now. Anyway, he is now extremely grateful that he listened to the suggestions of his daughters-in-law and found a good wife for the third child. Otherwise, talking about it all day is really unbearable.
Gu's mother understood him as if she hadn't understood him, she pulled Su Qinghe to the edge of the sofa, asked her to sit down, and called her daughter-in-law, "Hurry up and pour tea for Qing Miao'er, and make milk powder." Then she said to Su Qinghe, "Your father I went to pay New Year's greetings to his old head, and I kept it as a gift from others."
Su Qinghe quickly waved his hands and said, "Mom and Dad, this is for the elders and children to replenish their health. I don't need to drink it."
"Why don't you drink it? If Chang'an is at home, I'll give Chang'an a drink. But he's not at home, you have to drink more for him. He can't eat anything delicious at home, and he has to suffer outside."
Su Qinghe nodded, Chang'an is quite bitter. During the New Year's Eve, I still have to live and eat outside to perform tasks.
Seeing that Su Qinghe also agreed with her, Gu Ma patted her hand, "You eat and drink more, so Mom will feel at ease."
Sister-in-law Gu sighed and made Su Qinghe a glass of milk and came over. Su Qinghe hurriedly said thank you and took it over.
Seeing Su Qinghe obediently drinking milk, Gu Ma felt as if she saw her son drinking milk, and felt very comfortable.
Although Changan can't drink it, if he knows that his wife eats and drinks well at home, he will be happy in his heart.
"Why don't you come here earlier, come here sooner, Mom will make you a cup every day, so that you can grow up white and fat."
Su Qinghe: "..." She really doesn't want to gain weight, and if she gains weight, Chang'an won't be able to carry her on her back.
She put the cup down, and then took out eggs and clothes from her backpack.
Seeing Su Qinghe bring something again, Gu Ma's face hurts. "You take so much, what if your natal brother-in-law has an opinion. Our in-law's family will not hold you back, we will make you look good."
"It's okay, my brother and sister-in-law love me too. They all support me." Su Qinghe said with a smile, and then gave the clothes to Gu Ma, "I wanted to come to see my mother early, but I thought the clothes weren't ready, so I just finished them." Come here again. I just made it last night. Mom, give it a try."
When Gu Ma heard that the clothes were made for herself, or Qing Miaoer rushed to make them by herself. She hadn't even put on any clothes yet, and her eyes were already filled with tears. With trembling lips, she said, "Our Qingmiaoer... how nice!"
As soon as the good words fell, the tears also fell.
Su Qinghe was stunned. Why is my mother-in-law crying again, ouch, hello—"Mom, give it a try, you treat me well, and I should be filial to you. Don't be moved, don't cry. This is what we should do as juniors."
Gu Ma hurriedly wiped away her tears and went to change clothes. Then soon came out with a smile on his face, as if the person who just cried was not her.
"It's so beautiful. Our Qing Miao'er's craftsmanship is really good." Gu Ma praised, "It's better than the clothes in the tailor shop. The master said that he has been doing it for decades, but he is not as good as our Qing Miao'er." Well done."
When Su Qinghe heard that Yalishan was great, it was no wonder that her clothes-making skills hadn't improved since she was promoted to B-level. She had been doing it for decades...
Gu's mother touched her clothes, and said to her man, "Old Gu, look at how kind Qing Miaoer is to me. She even knows how to make clothes for me. No one else has treated me so kindly. After so many years, a pair of socks Haven't seen it yet."
Sister-in-law Gu and Sister-in-law Gu were filled with distress. The old lady is in charge of the house, and there is no shortage of food and clothing.
Su Qinghe hurriedly said, "Mom, I'm idle. I have a lot of time and it's convenient to make clothes."
Gu Ma thought about Su Qinghe's work again, "If you want me to tell you, you don't have to go to work. It's good to be idle like this. Your dad and I can't spend much money, and your dad's salary will give you a living. If It’s not enough for Changzheng and Changping to subsidize them. They are all promising brothers, so it’s right to help you. If Chang’an hadn’t been sent to the army by them, they don’t need them to subsidize you as a sister-in-law now.”
"Mom, there's really no need, I like to support myself..." She felt guilty when she said this, but it wouldn't work if she said otherwise. She doesn't want Chang'an's elder brother and sister-in-law to take care of her. At home, I can still talk about my own brother, but this in-law's family is different.
Hearing what Su Qinghe said, Gu Ma took her hand and squeezed it again, "Mom knows you are a hardworking person. You can't be free. Go to work. If you don't want to go to work, come back and rest. Mom takes care of you." Turning around, he said to Gu Changping, "Second brother, talk to Qing Miaoer about work."
The old lady had an order, Gu Changping immediately said, "Yes, the work has been agreed. Temporary workers. Go to help in the cafeteria. In fact, they are guarding at the kitchen window. When they are done, you can Bring it over, collect the ticket and deliver the food.”
This job sounds easy, but I feel a little lost and can't handle it. "Second brother, can I have a chance to cook?"
Gu Changping felt that the third daughter-in-law was really diligent, "This... if the master is not around, she might be able to help. But Qinghe, I don't think you should be honest, it's tiring to handle the spoon, so you can just collect the money and tickets. gone."
Su Qinghe nodded, as long as there is a chance. "Thank you second brother and second sister-in-law. I made you worry about my work."
I have to find a way to repay this favor in the future.
The second sister-in-law Gu smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as I arrange a job for you." From now on, the third child and his wife will both have jobs, so they don't need to be raised at home. great!
As usual, Su Qinghe couldn't move when cooking at noon. In fact, she didn't have to do anything in the old Gu's house, and even Gu's mother wouldn't let her do such things as serving dishes. I used to cry for Chang'an, but now I just cry for her directly, "We Qingmiaoer will soon go to the state-run restaurant to deliver food to people. How can we do this at home? It's so hard. They work leisurely. I should have done more. If they don't want to do it, I can do it, and I will serve their family."
A few people known as 'their family': "..."
Su Qinghe no longer mentioned the matter of manual work, and was a rice bug who was taken care of with peace of mind.
Because Su Qinghe came, Gu Ma was finally willing to take out the mutton and eat it. The mutton soup was boiled directly, Gu Ma took a big spoon and kept making meat for Su Qinghe.
"Eat more, this is sent back from Chang'an. What do you do if you don't eat it?"
Su Qinghe said with an embarrassed smile, "Everyone eats, and Chang'an sent it back for the family to eat."
Gu Ma gave her two grandchildren meat again, "Your uncle got it back. Your aunt saved it for you to eat. Your uncle is still suffering outside for this little meat." .”
Gu Lei and Gu Lin bit the meat, seeing their eyes turn red, they also felt uncomfortable.
Uncle is so pitiful. I can't even eat meat, so I have to send it back to my family to eat. Still suffering outside. How pitiful!
After eating, Gu Ma took Su Qinghe to clean up the cabinet, planning to pack some of Gu Changan's clothes and put them in the box, and asked Su Qinghe to move things here to live here, and then sleep in Gu Changan's room.
This matter was agreed a long time ago, so Su Qinghe naturally didn't say anything else. After the two of them cleaned up the cabinet together, Gu Ma was going to ask her sons to help Su Qinghe move things.
"Mom, I really don't need it. I'll let my brother deliver it. The eldest brother and the second brother have to go to work. Don't delay the great cause of building the motherland!"
Deputy county magistrate Gu praised, "Qinghe has a high level of ideological awareness. Very good, very good. In this way, if you have anything, you can get it to the commune. When Lao Hao comes here later, his car can just be brought over."
"Okay, Dad." Su Qinghe agreed with a smile, anyway, let's talk about it after agreeing, how to come here is still arranged by yourself.
Su Qinghe spent a Lantern Festival at Lao Gu's house, and went home to pack his things the next day, planning to come to Lao Gu's house in two days.
When I set off in the morning, I went out with Mrs. Gu and the others. She went home, and the Gu family brothers and sisters-in-law went to work.
Watching Su Qinghe's car ride away. Second Sister Gu kept pretending to be something. Then he pulled Mrs. Gu and whispered, "Sister-in-law, the third daughter-in-law is coming to live at home. Do you have any ideas? She can't do anything at home when she comes here. We have to serve her to eat and drink in the future. I guess Even the clothes have to be washed by us... I don't think this is okay, we have to find a way to let the third daughter-in-law work with us... "
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Gu smiled and walked away. Zhang Xiaolan is about to come up with another bad idea. She doesn't want to get involved!
The second sister-in-law Gu looked at the elder sister-in-law Gu with a deep smile and left. She was stunned for a moment, then turned back to find her man Gu Changping, "What do you mean by sister-in-law?"
Gu Changping looked helplessly at his stupid daughter-in-law and patted her head, "Comrade Xiaolan, I wish I could share my head with you."
Second Aunt Gu stared, "What do I want your head for?"
Gu Changping looked at his daughter-in-law, and immediately smiled, "It's nothing, it's fine. But I beg you to stop staring at the third daughter-in-law, and just raise a sister-in-law, okay? Let's go to work." .”
Second Sister-in-law Gu: "After all, my uncle went to the army, and my sister-in-law came again... No, it's my sister-in-law..."
She suddenly had an idea, "Hey, Chang Ping, do you think the army needs lesbians? Can our third wife go? Didn't you say there are art soldiers? How good is the third wife."
Gu Changping almost stumbled while walking. The matter of the state-run hotel has just been resolved. If there is an art soldier, will he be allowed to live a good life
