Gu Chengyu said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Li, declined Yao's offer to stay, and was going back. If he didn't go back, his mother might come to arrest them.
Walking from the end of the village to the Gu family's yard, he was already halfway there when he found his eldest brother walking this way, "Brother, where are you going?" Gu Chengyu took two steps forward and asked.
"Xiaobao! I'm just about to pick you up at Mr. Li's house! Mom is waiting anxiously at home, why are you so late?"
"I learned how to identify medicinal materials at Uncle Li's house, but I forgot the time, and my mother still asked you to pick me up? This is in the village, how can I get lost?" Gu Chengyu was a little helpless, his mother just looked at him too strictly.
As a result, it was inconvenient for him to do many things. It seemed that building a house was imminent. His mother watched him during the day and slept in the same room at night. There was no time to enter the space.
At the Li family, Langzhong Li was preparing some medicinal materials. After Gu Chengyu left, Mrs. Yao finished cleaning the kitchen and sat opposite Langzhong Li.
"But it has been decided?" Yao asked softly, looking at Li Langzhong.
"What do you think? The fifth eldest son of the Gu family is smart, talented, calm and not impetuous. More importantly, he has a good temperament. He is a suitable candidate." Mr. Li and Mr. Yao have known each other for many years, and it goes without saying that they know what to ask.
What is.
"This little boy is really good and lovable, and I am very satisfied with it. Logically speaking, if we want to choose someone, he will do his best. But, I'm afraid we are not what we want." Yao helped Lieutenant Li sift through the medicinal materials on the ground.
Check the vigor and put it in the sieve.
Li Langzhong paused while holding the medicinal materials, looked up at Mr. Yao, and asked doubtfully: "How do you say this?" The Gu family is not well off. Although they can get hundreds of taels of silver from selling ginseng, such a big family
How much can a person get? A few hundred taels is actually not much. If he made this request, the Gu family would definitely not disagree.
Yao Shi smiled mysteriously: "Otherwise, let's make a bet? I bet the Gu family won't agree."
"Oh? Haha. Madam, you are very interested. Okay, I will make this bet with you. What if you lose?" Li Langzhong saw that Yao rarely showed such an interesting expression, and he was also very happy. Since he came to Shang Shang
In Lingcun, his wife is always worried. She has a calm temperament and doesn't like to go out. She can't talk to those rural women. She is really bored staying in the house all day. If there is a little baby at home in the future,
His wife could also be happier, and she was smiling a lot today.
"Maybe I lost? Let's wait and see!" Of course Yao refused to admit defeat.
Let's talk about Gu Chengyu returning home. As soon as he stepped through the courtyard gate, he was greeted with a warm hug from his mother, "You kid, you are really eating at Mr. Li's house! You are not polite, but you are greedy for other people's mung bean cakes.
Why don't you want to leave? If you really want to eat it, go to town the day after tomorrow and ask your father to buy it for you." Mrs. Lu thought that Gu Chengyu didn't like cloud cakes, but liked the mung bean cake. Mrs. Lu was used to doting on Gu Chengyu, but of course she didn't.
The younger son wanted to eat, but she was reluctant to part with it.
"Mom, I don't want to eat mung bean cake! Have you eaten?" Gu Chengyu was about to take his mother into the house, "Mom, where are the little rabbits from yesterday? I still have to mow the grass for them! Dad said
Let me raise these rabbits."
"Don't listen to your father's nonsense. How can my son do such menial work as mowing the grass? I have already asked Dalang and the others to go. By the time you come back, the rabbit will have already starved to death! I asked your sister-in-law to stew the big rabbit.
, you didn’t come back to eat, so I warmed it in the pot for you. I went to serve it to you, but you haven’t tasted it yet! It tastes delicious. You go back to the house and wait."
When Gu Chengyu passed by the west wing, he found that the door of the house was ajar and there was no one in the house. The second brother and the second sister-in-law must have gone to the ground, but Da Lang and Er Lang were not in the house. I don't know if they went out to play or were caught by him.
Mother assigned her a job, and Gu Mei had been following Da Ya all the time, so she probably wouldn't be here at the moment. However, a scent wafted out of the half-hidden room. The scent was not strong, with only a trace left. If Gu Chengyu hadn't been captured
Quan has been transformed, but his nose is still not so sharp!
After hearing it carefully, Gu Chengyu shook his head and laughed. This second sister-in-law probably waited for a while before his mother screamed. Sure enough, as soon as Gu Chengyu turned around and walked to the kitchen, he heard his mother shouting: "Oh! My meat!"
What? Who is this damn shameless thing? He dares to steal meat? There is a thief in the house!"
Gu Chengyu walked quickly to the kitchen and saw his mother slapping her thighs and jumping around. Then she looked into the pot and saw, okay! There are still three pieces left? Did you dare to finish the meal? What can this family do?
Who else could do such a thing? It must be his second sister-in-law!
Lu's shouting attracted not only Gu Chengyu, but also Gu Chenglian, "Mom, what's going on? What happened?" Seeing his mother in such a hurry, Gu Chenglian thought something big had happened.
"Third brother! I just walked away for a while, and our house was robbed. The meat I left in the pot was eaten by someone, and Xiaowu hadn't even eaten it! There are more than ten pieces of meat in such a bowl.
There are pieces! Now there are only three pieces left." Mrs. Lu was really distressed! Half of a rabbit was stewed, so the old man ate one piece and gave one piece to each of the four brothers. Gu Wan also ate a piece, and the others were steamed.
She put it in the pot and prepared to save it for her little treasure. In order to avoid being eaten secretly, she asked Erya to watch it.
By the way, where is Erya? Could it be that Erya ate it secretly?
"Mom, what are you making all the fuss about? Who would come to our house to steal a few pieces of meat? I don't know who ate it at home." Gu Chenglian felt that his mother really liked being surprised, and it wasn't like the family money was lost, so he finished speaking
, and went back to the house.
"That's right! Is it possible that Erya ate it secretly?" The more Lu thought about it, the more suspicious she became, and she shouted to the east wing: "Erya, Erya, come out quickly!"
"Mom, forget it, it's not Erya's food, it's just a few pieces of rabbit meat, just eat it." Gu Chengyu quickly stopped her, but it was none of Erya's business and she couldn't be wronged. It wasn't worth it for a few pieces of rabbit meat.
"It wasn't her who ate it. Who ate it? She was the only one in the house today with a few babies, and everyone else had gone to the ground. Could it be that the rabbit meat would come back to life and run away on its own?" Ms. Lu felt very angry.
, this is simply not taking her seriously.
"Hey! Grandma, you called me?" Erya Gu Lan trotted from the east wing to the kitchen. She had no choice but to call her. If she didn't arrive right away, she would be scolded to death. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw murderous intent.
Mrs. Lu and her uncle who were standing aside, Erya shrank. Looking at the pot in the morning, she found that the lid of the pot had been lifted, and the bowl of meat was placed on the stove. The meat was originally full to the mouth of the bowl.
They were all gone. Erya's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, "Erya, didn't I tell you to look at the meat? Where's the rabbit meat? If you weren't here to look at it, where did you go? Did you go away to avoid it? Or did you eat it secretly?" Lu said nervously.
Staring at Erya's face, not missing the slightest expression on Erya's face.
"Nai, I don't dare to eat rabbit meat, don't you believe it?" Erya explained hurriedly. How could she be so brave?
"If you didn't eat it, then who did? I told you to look at the pot, where have you been?" Ms. Lu somewhat believed that Erya didn't eat it secretly. She didn't have the courage.
