The old lady glanced at Gu Jiao and then at Xiao Liulang, her eyes fascinated and meaningful.
I feel like I will hug my little great-grandson soon!
Gu Jiao switched seamlessly and asked Feng Lin.
Xiao Liulang also answered seriously: "He has returned to the academy, and went to Fucheng for a month, delaying a lot of classes."
Thanks to Feng Lin this time, Gu Jiao took note of his goodness.
While the two were talking, a few bright yellow chickens swaggered out.
It was only then that Xiao Liulang discovered that he had been away from home for more than a month, and the family had started raising chickens.
Gu Jiao is not interested in raising chickens. It is Xiao Jingkong who occasionally sees the chicks next door and likes them so much that she asks Gu Jiao if he can raise a few chickens.
Gu Jiao said that it can be raised, but there is one condition. He must take care of the chickens by himself. He can't use other people's hands for feeding and watering, or cleaning the chicken manure.
In order to let Xiao Jingkong understand the difficulty of raising chickens, Gu Jiao asked him to go to Xue Ningxiang's house to feed chickens for two days. There were not only cute chicks, but also old hens and big roosters that were mature and no longer cute.
And Gu Jiao told him that all the cute little chicks will grow into old hens and big roosters one day.
In the end, this could not persuade him, so Gu Jiao could only let him keep her.
He has seven of them, all of them plump.
He also gave them names, from one to seven, not knowing exactly how he identified them.
Xiao Liulang brought the old lady a special product of Pingcheng - candied dried bayberry. At this time, the bayberry just came to fruition. The fruit is not big and the sour taste is very strong, but this bayberry is the most suitable for candy, and the sweet and sour taste will not be greasy.
Don't look at just two cans of food, but this is the most famous candied bayberry in Pingcheng, and it coincides with a lot of students taking exams, and they are robbed almost every day when they come out.
Xiao Liulang went to line up in the middle of the night and shrank for a long time in the cold wind.
The old lady picked up a dried bayberry and fed it to the dog, and only let him lick it, and he was not allowed to swallow it, so as not to choke.
The dog's eggs sucked and drooled.
Gu Xiaoshun hadn't finished school yet, and Xiao Liulang brought him something. It was a complete set of tools for woodcarving.
Zhao State has strict control over iron, and it is difficult for ordinary people to buy such fine and complete iron tools.
Seeing Xiao Liulang's burden shriveled.
Xiao Jingkong was walking the chickens with no concern on his face, but from time to time he glanced at the bag that Xiao Liulang was carrying.
Gu Jiao caught his little strangeness and asked, "Is Qing Kong also looking forward to his present?"
"I didn't!" Xiao Jingkong turned his head arrogantly.
Bad brother-in-law won't buy him gifts!
Xiao Liulang had a panoramic view of the little guy's awkwardness. Originally, the relationship between the two of them was bad enough. After being separated for more than a month, now it is not even a stranger.
Xiao Liulang took out a set of Kongming locks from the bag: "Don't forget it, I'll give it to the dog."
"No!" Xiao Jingkong jumped down from the chair and grabbed Kong Mingsuo in his arms, "He, he is small! He can't play!"
Goudan looked at his little brother blankly, not understanding what happened at all.
In the end, it was Gu Jiao.
It was a very delicate brocade box, and just by looking at the box, I felt that it was of great value.
Gu Jiao secretly gestured the length of the brocade box.
Is it a hairpin
Such an expensive box, at least a silver hairpin.
Silver hairpins are rare in the countryside, generally wooden hairpins, and bronze hairpins are the more arrogant ones. Silver hairpins can only be bought by people with good conditions, and they are only willing to wear them on important days.
Of course, the most important thing is that if a man gives a woman a hairpin, it means something unspeakable!
Gu Jiao wrote all over her face: I like it, I like it, I like it!
clack.
Xiao Liulang opened the brocade box.
It's not a hairpin, but a writing brush!
Gu Jiao was dumbfounded on the spot.
Xiao Liulang said: "Your calligraphy is always not good. In addition to holding the pen incorrectly, it is also related to the brush. This is a wolf brush made by a famous craftsman in Pingcheng, which is very suitable for your strength."
He introduced it seriously, but Gu Jiao was not very well.
Is the hairpin hot to the touch
Why is Mao going to give her a pen
This is like sending a set of real exam questions to a student who only wants to play gold games. Can she refuse? !
Seeing Gu Jiao holding back her madness, the old lady laughed until her stomach hurt!
—There is a need, called Rokuro thinks you need it.
Gu Jiao held the wolf pen in her arms, her face blackened into charcoal.
Then Xiao Liulang handed her a pair of bronze medals with the Zhouji Bank inscribed on it.
"I have stored it in the bank for household use, you can get it yourself if you need it."
Xiao Liulang didn't say the exact amount, and Gu Jiao didn't ask, she was still immersed in the berserk emotion of being given a brush.
What Gu Jiao didn't know was that this wolf pen was more expensive than the gifts of the other people combined, and it was not something that ordinary things like silver could buy.
Gu Jiao didn't run wild for too long, she still remembered the business.
Before leaving, Gu Jiao told Feng Lin to keep an eye on Xiao Liulang and practice walking every day. Now she wants to check the results!
Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang went to the Westinghouse and looked at his ankle.
The wound from the operation was so light that it was almost invisible, Gu Jiao reached out and squeezed: "Does it still hurt?"
Xiao Liulang shook his head: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"It doesn't hurt at all?" Gu Jiao looked up at him.
He nodded, "Yeah."
Gu Jiao squeezed his calf again, and it felt good. It seemed that Feng Lin was not slacking off.
The once weakened texture has basically recovered after nearly four months of rehabilitation, which means that Xiao Liulang no longer has weakness in his legs and feet.
He still hasn't lost his cane, and the biggest problem may come from his psychology.
Gu Jiao had seen many similar cases in her previous life. Some of them were too self-protected because of fear of being injured twice, but most of them would gradually fade away and get better as time passed.
The other case is more complicated.
The patient has knots.
If he can't open that knot, he will always live in a state of injury, in order to punish himself or avoid something.
Xiao Liulang put down his trouser legs and went out with a cane.
Gu Jiao looked at his cold and lonely back, and couldn't help but wonder, what had he experienced? —
The news that Xiao Liulang was admitted to a scholar was soon spread throughout the eight townships, and of course the Gu family, a big family in the village, also heard the news.
They really never dreamed that Xiao Liulang would be able to take the examination of two desks in a row, and finally he was admitted to Lin Sheng.
Even the scumbag who was almost unable to get into Tianxiang Academy, why did he get into Linsheng like Dashun
Moreover, they are both born, Xiao Liulang's is obviously more gold, otherwise the rice that would not have been sent to Xiao Liulang would be much better than the rice sent to Gu Dashun
"As for the two desks, only one is less than three yuan." At the dinner table, Gu Changlu said enviously.
Was he born unwilling to study
no.
It's just that he couldn't get in. He had two sons later, and he expected them to get in, but the family who was willing to study couldn't afford it, and it was Gu Xiaoshun who was admitted for free.
How did the Gu family know that it wasn't that Xiao Liulang couldn't get into Xiaosanyuan, but he gave up Xiaosanyuan voluntarily.
The faces of the people at the table were a little ugly.
The most ugly is Gu Dashun.
Xiao Liulang, who had always been despised by him, suddenly turned over and rode on his head, Gu Dashun's mood was uneasy: "With Dean Li personally tutoring him, of course he has made great progress. In the month before the county exam, I used to take care of it every day. I saw Dean Li call him to Zhongzheng Hall."
He didn't believe that Xiao Liulang was soaring on the basis of his own ability. Obviously, in terms of qualifications, Xiao Liulang was not as good as himself. If the person who was personally tutored by Dean Li was himself, then he would definitely be able to get better results than Xiao Liulang. .
To put it bluntly, he lost on resources.
If it was in the past, the Gu family would have followed Suan Xiao Liulang, but tonight everyone didn't answer a word.
This made Gu Dashun frown slightly.
He felt that the atmosphere at home recently seemed to be different from before, everyone seemed to be very preoccupied, except Gu Xiaoshun.
It's not surprising that he would think so. After the Gu family's idea of defeating the daughter of the Hou's mansion failed, the matter of Gu Jiao would be considered a complete incident.
Without any interrogation methods used by Lord Gu, just letting Huang Zhong walk around the village clearly explained Gu Jiao's experience from childhood to adulthood.
This is the bloodline of the Hou Mansion of the eight classics, so can people be bullied like this? Isn't this rubbing Gu Houye's face on the ground
Gu Houye's anger can be imagined.
If it weren't for the sake of Gu Jinyu and the Gu family's three-bedroom couple, Master Gu Hou would have arrested the family and beat them to death!
But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped.
Mr. Gu's lizheng has come to a head.
This was the most wrongful time for Old Man Gu. He went to the clan to have a drink, and when he came back, the village officials were gone, and he was still deceived by his mother-in-law and his son and daughter-in-law.
As for Gu Jinyu's side, Gu Houye asked the Gu family to give up Gu Jinyu's custody, and vowed not to appear in front of Gu Jinyu in this life.
In addition, he was tight-lipped for Lord Gu, and not a word was allowed to leak out.
Therefore, the Gu family even concealed it from Gu Dashun and Gu Xiaoshun.
Gu Ershun overheard some by accident and knew that Gu Jiao might be the wrong child, but he didn't know more about it.
The above is one of the reasons for the strange atmosphere, and the second is that the female family members of the family actually came to the table for dinner.
Gu Dashun was not used to this.
Gu Dashun glanced at his younger sister, Gu Yue'e, thought of something, and said, "Jiao Niang is really lucky to have married a talented husband."
My sister is not too young, so she should say that she is married. If she is married to a good family, it will also be a help to him.
Gu Yue'e kept her head down while eating without saying a word.
Everyone thought, is the lucky girl? It's clearly that kid Xiao Liulang! Does he know who he is married to? Houfu daughter!
This is really a good thing that fell from the sky!
Speaking of this marriage, they were careless. If they had known that the girl had such a background, they would not have married her!
Staying at home as a cash cow, I don't know how much benefits I can ask Houfu for!
The Gu family's guts are all green, but what can be done? That girl is no longer so stupid and foolish, even if they want to repair the relationship, it is not so easy.
Wu Shi winked at Liu Shi and asked her to take the big meat in the bowl.
This is a real big piece of meat, each slice is cut very thick, and the fat is straight oil, which only Gu Dashun could eat in the past.
Mrs Liu swallowed her saliva and picked up the thickest piece. She wanted to put it in Ershun's bowl, but was stabbed by Mrs. Wu with a knife, so she hurriedly put it into Gu Xiaoshun's bowl.
Gu Xiaoshun looked at his mother strangely: "Why?"
Liu Shi said embarrassingly: "You finally come back and eat some meat!"
Gu Xiaoshun has been living in the academy these days, but was invited back by Gu Dashun today.
Gu Dashun didn't want to invite him in a good voice, but Gu Dashun couldn't do anything if his father spoke.
Gu Xiaoshun looked at the meat in the bowl and ate it neither salty nor bland.
Gu Ershun was drooling with greed.
Gu Dashun frowned.
The rest acted as if they saw nothing.
Liu Shi smiled and said, "Xiao Shun, you haven't gone to your sister's place yet, have you?"
Gu Xiaoshun asked, "Why?"
Liu Shi sneered: "Your sister is so kind to you, why don't you go see her when you come back?"
Gu Xiaoshun took a sip: "I'll go in a while."
Liu continued to sneer: "Your brother-in-law has been admitted as a scholar, remember to say a few words of congratulations."
Gu Xiaoshun: "Yeah."
After a long time without getting to the point, Mrs Wu and the big room were in a hurry.
Gu Changhai said, "Xiao Shun, uncle has prepared a pot of good tea and two old hens, and will bring it to your sister with you later."
Gu Xiaoshun said: "I'll just go, what are you going to do?"
I'm afraid you can't handle it!
Gu Changhai was about to be troubled by Gu Xiaoshun's anger. Gu Xiaoshun's rectum went straight to the end, and he couldn't understand what he said in a curved way.
Gu Changhai simply opened the skylight and said brightly, "There is no overnight feud in the family. We did something wrong in the past, but now I will make it up to your sister. From today onwards, our family will live a good life."
Gu Houye only said that they were not allowed to approach Gu Jinyu, but he did not say that they were not allowed to approach Gu Jiao, as long as they did not reveal the truth to Gu Jiao.
They could probably guess what Gu Houye meant, but it was because they were afraid that Gu Jiao would not be able to accept it for a while, so they slowly figured it out, they just had to reconcile with Gu Jiao before father and daughter recognized each other!
"You see that my brother-in-law has been admitted to a scholar now, do you want to curry favor with him?" Gu Xiaoshun put the chopsticks on the table lukewarmly, "Where are the things?"
The former sentence is quite frowning, but the latter sentence makes the Gu family feel like a drama!
Gu Changhai hurriedly said to the Zhou family, "Go and get it!"
Zhou Shi did not dare to neglect, and went to the house to catch the tea he bought at a high price and the two fattest old hens in the family.
Gu Xiaoshun put down his chopsticks, took something and walked out.
Gu Changhai stretched out his hand: "Hey! Wait for me!"
Wait for you to be surprised!
It was you who owed my sister!
Go away!
Gu Xiaoshun spread his feet and ran out, entered his sister's house in a hurry, and closed the door with a bang!
Gu Changhai, whose nose was bleeding from the door, said, "...!!"
The tea leaves and the old hens that Gu Changhai spent his entire blood on are gone. He still doesn't dare to make a noise, so where can he justify it
Gu Changhai wanted to knock on the door, but unfortunately no one answered the knock for a long time, so he had to go back with gritted teeth.
Gu Jiao cooks in the stove.
"Sister and sister." Gu Xiaoshun hadn't returned to the village for a long time, blamed for missing his sister, and rushed to the kitchen to greet Gu Jiao before going to Xiao Liulang and the old lady.
Xiao Liulang gave him the knife he brought from Pingcheng. Gu Xiaoshun liked it so much that he looked at each knife and couldn't put it down.
A good knife is to a craftsman, just like a good sword is to a swordsman, that kind of joy cannot be replaced by a general gift.
Gu Xiaoshun felt more and more that his brother-in-law was good.
Gu Xiaoshun was playing with a knife, and was suddenly called into the house by the old lady.
The old lady waved at him enthusiastically: "Xiao Shunlai, try the candied dried bayberry that Liulang bought for me!"
Gu Xiaoshun blinked: "Why is my aunt so generous today?"
Eating one of her candied fruit on weekdays is more difficult than ascending to the sky.
"Here." The old lady scratched for a long time and gave him the smallest one.
Gu Xiaoshun didn't pick it up, and shoved it into his mouth.
In the next second, he saw the old lady, one two three four five six seven, counted seven large candied bayberries and put them in his little honey pot, and shouted loudly, "Jiaojiao! Xiaoshun ate me. Eight dried bayberry!"
"… "
Gu Xiaoshun almost choked to death!
For a few dried bayberry, what about you? !
Gu Jiao took care of the old lady, let her eat at most three a day, and only eat five during the New Year, she saved seven in one breath, which can be said to be a huge windfall!
The old lady was very satisfied and waved her hand to tell Gu Xiaoshun what to do.
Gu Xiaoshun's face is stunned, so he's used up
Gu Xiaoshun planned to find Xiaojingkong, but found that the little guy had gone out.
The little headroom went to sneak the chicks.
At first, he only roamed in his own backyard, and slowly he felt that the backyard was not enough, so he took the chicks out.
Xiaojingkong's route for chickens is from his home to the entrance of the village, and then back on the same road. If he encounters a villager, he will greet him politely.
The villagers have become accustomed to it from the initial surprise to now, and even began to like this little monk.
People's chicks run around when they go out, but his chicks can still form a formation.
"Xiao Qi, you can't cut the queue." Xiao Jingkong said.
A chick who passed the fifth corner and passed the car silently returned to the end.
Xiao Jingkong slipped and came to the outside of Gu's old house, which was the only way to the entrance of the village.
He knew the relationship between the two families and would not go to Gu's house, nor would he say hello to Gu's family.
Today, however, he was attracted by a strange sound.
