"My mother doesn't know the way and can't find home after leaving the family compound." Pei Guoqing continued.
Aunt Pei: This damn child! He doesn’t even give her any face!
"Don't be surprised, I don't know the way very well either." Gu Qingmeng agreed with a smile.
She had seen people with poor directions, and she herself had a hard time telling east from west, but this was the first time she had seen someone like Aunt Pei. If she hadn't seen it last night, she would never have believed that someone could get lost just by leaving the house!
"Really? I couldn't recognize the way since I was a child. I would get lost as soon as I walked out of the house. I haven't left the house since your grandma went back. Yesterday... Hey, Xinghe, when will you bring your grandma back to me?" Aunt Pei missed the days when she went shopping for groceries with her mother-in-law.
Since her mother-in-law left, she hasn't even left the family compound. Yesterday, she finally went out with her husband, but got lost. If it weren't for the two girls selling grain to send her off, why would she think these two niece-in-laws looked so familiar.
He is as short as the grain seller yesterday, and his voice is somewhat similar.
"Girl, have we met somewhere before?"
Aunt Pei asked tentatively, but then she felt it was impossible. How could her nephew's wife go to the black market to sell things in the middle of the night?
Besides, the two of them are not from this place, they are both educated youth who went to the countryside.
"I haven't seen it, haha! Maybe we look more ordinary." Su Xue said with a smile.
She hated being called short the most. Fortunately, she sent her lost aunt away yesterday, but today the mother and son both called her short and she was angry.
Pei Weidong knew that his wife hated being called short, so he blushed and coaxed her, "Don't be angry, wife. You're not short. I just like your petite look."
Su Xue: ...Brother, if you keep talking like that you'll end up kneeling on the washboard when you get home.
"Eat." Su Xue was anxious and took out the wontons she bought and put them in the lunch box.
"Sister Mengmeng, have you eaten yet? My mother brought some dumplings. They are made with pork and cabbage and are very delicious. Try them."
Pei Guoqing circled around Gu Qingmeng and brought the dumplings his mother brought to her for her to eat.
"You little brat, it's time for you to go to school." Pei Xinghe grabbed his cousin who was wandering around. He would approach anyone he saw who was good-looking. What's wrong with him?
When he grows up, I will have to talk to my uncle and tell him to let him out less.
"I've taken a class off, and I still have to take my mom home! Don't worry, Sister Mengmeng, can I come and play with you during my break?"
Pei Guoqing would go back to Peijiagou every Chinese New Year. Before, he liked to stick with his cousin Pei Xinghe the most, but now he thinks he likes his cousin-in-law Gu Qingmeng the most.
My cousin’s children will definitely be more beautiful in the future! He loves his nephew the most, and it would be best if it were a niece. He will take his niece out to play when the time comes.
Wear a pretty little skirt and you will be cool when you go out!
Pei Xinghe didn't expect his cousin's thoughts to jump to the child. He just wanted to get rid of the child quickly: "You go to school, I'll take Aunt San away later."
"Ah! No, no, I can just take my mother back."
Pei Guoqing didn't give up. He finally got the chance to skip a class, so why would he not go back to class?
Gu Qingmeng found the two brothers amused. She took out some biscuits and dried meat from her bag and stuffed them into Pei Guoqing's hands, saying, "Study hard. If you rank in the top five in your class, I'll let you come and play with me."
"Top five! Can I get top ten, dear sister-in-law? I'm in the twenties now!"
Pei Guoqing pleaded pitifully, saying that if he tried hard he might be able to get into the top ten, but it would be very difficult to get into the top five.
"Okay! But you have to be in the top five next time!" Gu Qingmeng agreed with a smile. Seeing Pei Guoqing was like seeing Gu Guoliang.
But Pei Guoqing is more lively.
"Why are you going? Don't bother your cousin. Wait until the New Year and the whole family will go back together." Aunt Pei subconsciously glanced at Pei Xinghe.
Everyone in the Pei family knew that Pei Xinghe loved cleanliness and didn't like his things to be touched. But her family's Guoqing was a bit of an annoyance. When they went to Peijiagou, his favorite thing was to stick to Pei Xinghe. The key was that he also liked to sneak into his nephew's room in the middle of the night. Every time they went to the countryside, there was chaos.
She didn't want to face Pei Xinghe's dark face during the New Year. To be honest, she was a little afraid of her nephew.
"Mom, my sister-in-law said I can go if I'm in the top ten on the test. If you don't let me go, I'll take a bus there myself. Anyway, my great-grandfather will drive me to the county, so I won't get lost."
Pei Guoqing was unhappy. How could something that had been agreed upon after so much bargaining be changed?
The word "sister-in-law" left Gu Qingmeng speechless. She wanted to say something to help and ask him to go play with his two younger brothers, but now she stopped talking.
Pei Xinghe was a little happy when he heard his cousin call her sister-in-law. He thought that he and Qingqing would be married after his cousin's winter vacation, so he could go if he wanted! There was a place to stay at home, and he couldn't just stay in his room anymore.
"Aunt San, as long as he does well in the exam, let him go! Why aren't you going to class now?"
Pei Xinghe's last words were addressed to his cousin, and his expression didn't turn from gloomy to bright until the person left his sight.
"Haha! Xinghe, when will your grandma come back?"
Aunt Pei talked about Grandma Pei every three sentences. Gu Qingmeng could see that she really hoped that Grandma Pei would go back soon.
"......I'm getting married on the 19th of next month, and grandma can't go back to the city with you until after the Chinese New Year." Pei Xinghe gave the exact time in a serious tone.
Because he knew that Third Aunt's temper would make her nag endlessly if she didn't give him a specific time. How long had it been since Grandma returned? He had already sent three telegrams, each time asking when she would be back in the city.
"Oh, your grandma loves you the most. She will definitely wait until you get married before she can come. I am just a piece of grass in her heart. I made a set of clothes for her. Come with me to her house to get it."
Aunt Pei was a little jealous. In her mother-in-law's heart, grandson was the most important. Why couldn't her own kid win her mother-in-law's heart?
It's a waste of time to create such a useless thing.
Seeing that Pei Xinghe was going out to see someone off, Gu Qingmeng quickly took out the military coat and scarf she had brought and asked the man to wear them when he went out.
After seeing off Aunt Pei, the few of them had a simple breakfast in the ward. Pei Weidong told them that Aunt Pei was the only daughter in the family. Her parents died in the line of duty. She was introduced by Pei Heixiong to marry Uncle Pei Sanzhuang. Grandma Pei treated her very well. Knowing that she was always lost and couldn't find her way, she often went to the city to accompany her. Grandma Pei came to take care of her when she gave birth and during the confinement period.
In recent years, when there was nothing to do at home, Grandma Pei often lived in her third uncle's house to accompany her third aunt.
Grandma Pei has no daughter, so she treats Aunt Pei as her own daughter.
Not long after they finished their meal, Pei Xinghe came back with Aunt Pei.
Aunt Pei was holding a package, and Pei Xinghe was holding a bag of grain.
"Haha! I miss your grandma. I plan to live in Peijiagou for a while and come back with her."
Several people looked at each other, thinking that Grandma Pei must treat her like her own daughter!
Otherwise she wouldn't have gone to look for someone with her things in her hands.
