Chapter 14 Listen to your parents

Afraid that she would scare Shen Shujia, Gu's mother tried her best not to show too much enthusiasm.

She took Shen Shujia's hand, put it on her own and patted it, her face turned into a smile.

"Let's go and sit at home."

Since the birth of Jiajia, especially Jiajia, who is the most beautiful girl in the village, Father Shen and Mother Shen are unhappy no matter who has a boy.

I always feel that a boy from another family will come at any time and pick away the cabbage that I have finally raised.

When he thought that the Gu family had three boys, Father Shen was so anxious that he secretly winked at Mother Shen.

These two have been married for many years, and they can almost guess the meaning of each other's every move.

Especially regarding her daughter's life-long events, Shen's mother was more anxious than he was.

So, she quickly stopped Gu's mother and said, "It's getting late, so we won't go in and sit down."

The Gu family has two sons of marriageable age. What if Jiajia falls in love with one of them?

She didn't mean to look down on the Gu family, but as a mother, she certainly hoped that the daughter she had raised with all her heart would marry into a good family.

That's not to say that the Gu family is not good. Speaking of which, Gu's father and mother had a hard time in the first few years of their marriage.

Later, through the hard work of the two people, and now that the children are older, the family of five can earn work points.

Looking at it this way, the conditions of the Gu family and the Shen family are actually similar, and they are considered to be living a good life in Xinming Village.

If Gu's mother hadn't been a landowner's daughter, the two sons of the Gu family would have gotten married long ago, right?

Thinking about it this way, the Gu family and the Shen family can be considered to be of the same family, and they are in the same village. They are close to each other and there is no fear that their daughter will be bullied.

It's a pity...

Gu's mother saw that Shen's mother rejected her invitation. Everyone was smart and could guess what the other party was worried about.

Gu's mother sighed in her heart and was too embarrassed to continue pulling Shen Shujia.

She reluctantly let go of Shen Shujia's hand, "Okay, then come and sit down some other time when you have time."

"Okay, okay." Mother Shen responded with a smile, "Then let's go first."

With that said, Shen's mother pulled Shen Shujia and turned around to leave, regardless of whether Shen's father followed or not.

They looked anxious, as if someone was chasing them.

After watching Mother Shen and Shen Shujia walk away, Mother Gu closed the door with a look of regret.

Gu's mother first looked at the porridge that was being cooked. It happened to be ready, so she poured some lard residue and fried beans, and then fried a plate of Chinese cabbage.

Finally, heat up some leftover steamed buns from the morning.

When Gu Yan saw the porridge and vegetables on the table, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there are no dark pickles like the ones we had for lunch.

The Gu family's dining table rules are relatively casual. You can eat whatever you want.

But today Gu Yan was injured. After Gu's mother gave Gu's father a bowl of porridge, she immediately gave Gu Yan another bowl.

Then he only made half a bowl for himself, leaving the second son Gu Jin and the third son Gu Qing to do it themselves.

Gu's mother gave Gu's father and Gu Yan a piece of lard respectively, and then thinking of Shen Shujia's cute appearance, she couldn't help showing a look of envy on her face.

She said: "Have you seen that girl from the Shen family? She's so cute. Hey, I don't know which kid will get the advantage of her in the future."

Father Gu said without raising his head: "Is there any daughter from a family that you don't like?"

Ever since her third baby, Gu Qing, was born, she liked every girl she saw. Every day she heard her talk about how good-looking and well-behaved her girl was.

When Mother Gu heard this, she was a little unconvinced, "Who said that! I don't like Shen Xincao."

Father Gu was surprised, "It's rare that there is a girl you don't like."

As he said this, Father Gu himself couldn't help laughing, even the wrinkles in his eyes were laughing.

Gu's mother also knew that he was laughing at her, and immediately glared at him fiercely.

Father Gu immediately fell silent and drank his porridge quietly.

Gu Yan listened to Gu's mother and Gu's father without saying a word, trying to maintain a taciturn persona.

Today's dinner consists of porridge and vegetables, and it doesn't seem to be very delicious.

It seems that not all food is difficult to eat.

Especially the lard residue that tastes very crispy and very fragrant!

Just how can I eat these delicious foods often?

While eating, Gu Yan dug out his memory and recalled it carefully, trying to learn as much as possible about this time and space.

It can be seen from memory that the current time and space is still in a period of very scarce resources.

Because of the decisions made by the upper management, it seems that all resources have been forcibly dispersed so that everyone can eat.

In fact, resources are transferred from the hands of capital to the control of the upper levels of the state.

No matter who controls the resources, as long as it is good to them, it will naturally be respected by everyone.

So he had to think carefully about how to improve his food while he stayed in this time and space.

Here, Shen's mother was telling Shen Shujia: "Jiajia, we have repaid the favor this time. If you see him in the future, you don't have to feel guilty towards Gu Yan, you know?"

"Your mother is right. If you see Gu Yan in the future, try to stay away. If anything happens, your mother and I will solve it." Father Shen said in a comforting voice.

Afraid that her daughter would feel guilty because Gu Yan had been hurt by her, she contacted the Gu family in private.

The purpose of these two people's words is also obvious, that is, they hope that Jiajia will not have too much contact with the Gu family, so as to prevent others from seeing and spreading gossip.

After all, Shen Shujia happens to be of marriageable age now. Shen's father and Shen's mother have been busy contacting matchmakers recently. If there is a suitable boy, they will let Shen Shujia see him.

At this juncture, Father Shen and Mother Shen naturally did not want anyone to gossip about their daughter.

Shen Shujia is a person who realized her dream after struggling in the mall for more than two years.

Just by listening to the two of them talking, you can tell what they mean.

Naturally, she has no objection to this. These parents are only doing their best for her, so what bad intentions can they have!

So she nodded very obediently: "Okay, I will listen to my parents."

We arrived home while chatting, and the sky gradually became dark.

Li Zhuzhen had already boiled a pot of hot water in the pot, and she and Shen Haishan also washed their feet and went back to the room to stay.

Shen Haisu is not at home and I don’t know where he went.

But he does this often, and everyone is used to it.

He probably went to play with his friends and would come back later.

After Shen's father and Shen's mother cleaned up and returned to the room, Shen Shujia took hot water to the bathroom to take a bath and changed into clean clothes.

After returning to the room and lying on the bed, Shen Shujia slowly recalled the memories of the original owner's short life.

Ten minutes later, a sigh came from the dark night.

Shen Shujia sighed and tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.

It is now 1975, there is no electricity in the countryside, it is dark, and the only thing that works is a kerosene lamp.

However, not everyone can afford kerosene. You can only buy it with industrial stamps from supply and marketing cooperatives, and the price is not cheap.

With the money to buy kerosene lamps, it is better to buy more rice and noodles.
