"Really? My little treasure is the boy in front of the gods! Otherwise, why would the gods always come to see Xiaobao? Girl, this matter cannot be spread outside." Mrs. Lu was a little worried that Gu Wan would speak unobtrusively outside.
, let it slip.
"Mom, I know what's important. Of course I won't talk nonsense! But I don't know if Xiaobao is going out to show off at such a young age!" Gu Wan was a little dissatisfied that her mother didn't believe her and kept telling her.
"If the second sister keeps talking nonsense, the good things will not be given to the second sister." Gu Chengyuzi took out the jewelry he just put in from the space and placed it on the table.
Gu Wan had long been attracted by the thing wrapped in red cloth.
"Mom, look at this? Dad bought this for you!" Gu Chengyu picked up the wooden box with the hairpins. The outside of the wooden box was just painted with a layer of brown paint. When he opened it, he found that there was a layer of cotton padded inside.
, the hairpin lay quietly in the wooden box.
"Hey! Xiaobao and I bought it for you. Can you try it on? It must look good." Dad Gu was not that stupid and said that Xiaobao picked it out.
"What are you doing with that money? You need a lot of it, right?" Mrs. Lu said it was a waste, but the joy in her eyes overflowed. She hadn't worn a silver hairpin in many years, and her little treasure still had one.
I put the hairpin diagonally on my head, "Doesn't it look good?"
"It's not expensive, it's only four taels of silver. It looks good on you." Father Gu looked at Ms. Lu who was wearing the hairpin and was filled with emotion. In front of his eyes, he couldn't help but picture the man with his head covered with pearls and emeralds and wearing silk and satin.
Time flies so fast for a young woman in beautiful clothes. Fifteen years have passed. Lu is still so beautiful and does not look old at all, but he has aged.
"So expensive?"
"Ah! It's so beautiful. You really bought this for me?" Gu Wan looked at the shrimp bracelet in the red cloth, her eyebrows arched with joy. She finally had a piece of silver jewelry, and she couldn't wait to put the bracelet on
Put it on your wrist, look at it from left to right, you will like it no matter what you look at.
Father Gu stopped recalling when Gu Wan called out. Mrs. Lu also took off the hairpin from her head and put it back in the box.
"Mom, why are you taking it off? Just wear it!" Gu Chengyu felt a little strange.
"It's not time yet, my dear daughter, give me the bracelet and I'll put it away for you and wear it again in two days." Mrs. Lu said as she stepped forward to confiscate Gu Wan's bracelet.
"Mom! Why can't you wear it now? I don't want it. If you give it to me, it's mine." Gu Wan finally got a pair of silver bracelets, but her mother didn't let her wear them. So the silver bracelets should be kept away from the dust.
Not successful?
"Mom, forget it! Since the second sister likes it, let her wear it!" His second sister is still a child at heart!
"By the way, mother, I also have four beaded flowers and five red-headed ropes here, which are given to my nieces. The second sister has a pair of bracelets, so just use a red-headed rope. I will buy them for you later.
.The rest were given to my nieces by my brother-in-law."
"Why do they need these things? You just spend money randomly. You spent a lot this time, right? You don't even have time to count your talents." When Lu heard that there were also those girl movies, she felt a little dissatisfied.
"Mom, I actually bought bracelets and hairpins as gifts, so I didn't spend any money. Besides, in the future, the family will earn more and more money, so there is no need to worry about the small money." Gu Chengyu was a little helpless, hoping that Lu would be kind to her.
The first grandchild he gave birth to was very difficult, and since they were all girls, he probably looked down upon them even more, so he had to find a way to make up for it.
"Mom, look, you and the second sister both have jewelry. If they don't have anything, wouldn't they start a fight again? What's more, it doesn't cost any money!"
"Hmph! What? Am I still afraid of them? It's a waste to give it to them. Will they still miss us? I'm not their biological mother, so maybe they hate me in their hearts! These are a bunch of white-eyed wolves.
." Mrs. Lu became angry when she mentioned this. Back then, she was also a beautiful young woman, but she didn't want to follow a widower with several children. Is this what she wanted?
"Mom, after all, I am also an elder, so I have to take care of the general public, right? Mom, when will we have dinner? I'm already hungry." Gu Chengyu didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. His mother's thoughts can't be changed in a day or two.
of.
"Ouch! I forgot about it, but I haven't had lunch yet, so I went to the kitchen to have a look." Mrs. Lu put the silver hairpin she pulled off her head back into the box, and then placed the box in a small cabinet of Kang Qin.
"Wanwan, since you don't want to let your mother take care of the bracelet, you have to hide it yourself. Anyway, you are not allowed to wear it tonight, so you don't want to make those shallow-eyed people look at you. Let's straighten things out today.
, I don’t care if you want to take me with you tomorrow." Lu thought for a while and turned back to Gu Wan.
"I know! Mom!" Gu Wan saw that the bracelet did not need to be confiscated, so she happily took the bracelet and prepared to go back to the room.
"You girl, your brother picked this just for you! He doesn't like it even if it's not good enough. This bracelet is worth three ounces, but it costs three ounces of silver to buy it! Even though your mother's one is more beautiful, it's just better than yours.
It's just a little heavier. This bracelet is not small. If it were dad, he probably wouldn't be able to part with it." What Mr. Gu said was true. No matter how much he feels sorry for his daughter, he will be a member of his family from now on, so he can only eat well and wear good clothes, so that he can earn some respect in the future.
If you marry someone with a dowry, there must be no way to divide the family property. His family is not a wealthy family and cannot afford to support him. With the money, it is better to add more land and leave it to his son to carry on the family line.
Gu Chengyu saw Gu Wan stop entering the house and looked back at him, her eyes still a little misty, and suddenly grinned, "Thank you for what? Anyway, it's the second sister's dowry."
"Oh! You little kid, you don't know what to do with a dowry and not a wedding dress? How shameful!" Gu Wan stomped her foot shyly and ran back to the inner room.
Sitting on the kang near the window, I was stroking the silver bracelet in my hand. After looking at it for a while, I picked up the red cloth, wrapped it up again, and placed it in the innermost part of the wooden box containing clothes next to it.
"Dad, what are your plans? Don't you plan to tell your second brother?" Seeing that no one was in the main room, Gu Chengyu wanted to take the opportunity to ask his father.
Father Gu didn't say anything. He picked up the cigarette stick at his waist, lit it and took a puff. Father Gu frowned.
After hesitating for a moment, Dad Gu spoke: "Xiaobao, dad knows that you are precocious and know everything. Your second brother? You know who he is. Dad is not afraid that he will have troubles, but he is afraid that he will take detours in the future.
It's holding you back and dragging down the entire Gu family. Tonight's dinner, dad wants to test him to see what he thinks? Even if he just wants to live his own little life, dad won't stop him, and he won't give him a penny.
He will not be missing either."
"Dad, are you saying that the second brother wants to separate the family?" Gu Chengyu has actually seen the second brother's thoughts a long time ago. If nothing else, it can be seen from the fact that the second brother wants to go to the county town with them to sell honeysuckle.
The second brother also didn't believe his father. When his father rejected him later, the second brother's face turned bad. Maybe he thought his father was suspicious of him. In short, the two of them were now suspicious of each other.
