Chapter 48 Two-person collaboration
The kite flew higher and higher, the children clapped their hands and cheered, and Lu Yan skillfully pulled and let out the string to allow the kite to fly steadily in the wind. Gu Leyou looked up, her hair ruffled by the wind, but the smile on her lips never faded. A family of three gathered under a flying kite, with the warm sunlight shining down, accompanied by laughter and the sound of wind, forming the most heartwarming scene in this farm family's winter.
When winter comes, the New Year is not far away.
Gu Leyou has been living a peaceful and law-abiding life since she got married.
She would usually take the child to the mountains to collect herbs or something. After all, it was not safe to leave him alone at home, and she herself was worried.
That afternoon, she took her children and sat in the yard playing.
At this time, Zhang's child, Ah Fu, came running over, knocked on the door, and called out in a baby voice, "Auntie, open the door."
If you ask him why he knew where their home was, it was because Xiao Yao stayed at their home for a day and the two became good friends.
So he knew where their home was.
Gu Leyou opened the gate and the little guy stood at the door.
"It's Ah Fu. Why are you here? Is there something you want to talk to your aunt about?" Gu Leyou squatted down and asked gently.
"Yes, aunt, my mother was injured while working a few days ago, so she had no choice but to go to the restaurant to help out. My father said that you had just gotten married and didn't want to disturb you, so he was the only one working."
"Okay, wait for your uncle to come back tonight, and I will discuss it with him and help out at the restaurant tomorrow."
This Brother Zhang is really something. Sister-in-law Zhang was injured at work, but he didn't inform her. If he had, she would have gone to help earlier.
"Then come in and play with Xiaoyao for a while." Gu Leyou invited enthusiastically.
Ah Fu refused.
"No, aunt, I have to go back to take care of my mother. My father is busy at the restaurant, and my mother and I are the only ones left at home. I have to stay at home to take care of her."
"Okay, then I'll find someone to take you back. I'm worried about you going back alone."
"No need, auntie, I know the way, I can go back by myself."
After saying that, Ah Fu ran away. Gu Leyou looked at his departing back and smiled helplessly.
In the evening, Lu Yan came back from outside.
The family sat at a small table in the yard and prepared to eat.
Gu Leyou said: "Lu Lang, don't go to the mountains in the future. It's dangerous. My husband and I can go to Brother Zhang to help. I mentioned Brother Zhang's matter to you before. You haven't forgotten it, right?"
Lu Yan’s mind is now filled with the name his wife just gave him.
He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice the chopsticks fell to the ground.
Xiaoyao was the first to discover it.
"Mom, my dad's chopsticks fell down. I wonder what he was thinking about. Is he thinking of some way to make money again?"
Lu Yan finally reacted when he heard his child calling him.
He asked his wife somewhat embarrassedly.
"Madam, why did you change your name for me just now? Didn't you call me husband before?"
"I'll change it if I want." Gu Leyou picked up the chopsticks on the ground.
"The chopsticks are dirty. Go to the kitchen and get a new one. What's wrong? You're not even paying attention when eating." Gu Leyou looked confused.
Lu Yan quickly got up and took the dirty chopsticks into the kitchen, then came out with a new pair of chopsticks.
When he sat down to eat again, Gu Leyou asked, "Did you hear what I just said to you?"
"I heard you. You want me to go with you to help Brother Zhang's restaurant, right?" Lu Yan answered while picking up some food.
"Indeed, in this way you don't have to go up the mountain to hunt. Hunting is always a matter of luck. It's impossible for you to have luck every time you go up the mountain." Gu Leyou grumbled.
"Then I'll go with you to Brother Zhang's store tomorrow."
"We are going as a family of three, and you forgot about me, your father." Xiao Yao reminded him.
After dinner, they took a walk in their yard for a while and then went to bed early.
The next day, Gu Leyou went out with the first rays of sunshine in the morning.
She had to find a place to enter the space spiritual spring to get some things, and pick some herbs by the way. When she went to see Brother Zhang, she would give them to him and ask him to give them to Sister Zhang.
You can’t do this at home. If someone finds out, they’ll probably think you’re a monster.
Even if her Lu Lang doesn't mind, she will still feel scared.
However, she was unlucky when going out. Before she even reached the village entrance, she ran into her sister Gu Mingyue.
This guy is not at home so early in the morning. Why did he get up so early?
Gu Mingyue didn't scream when he saw her. The two of them were on the verge of a fight, and Gu Mingyue directly blocked her way.
"Sister, what are you doing? Get out of the way, I have something else to do."
"You are so rude that you didn't even address me. Didn't your uncle and aunt teach you manners?"
"I have taught you, but you don't have to be polite to your family members."
Gu Mingyue almost died of anger after hearing this.
He raised his hand and was about to slap her, but Gu Leyou dodged it.
"What are you going to do? Don't try to hit me." Gu Leyou glared at her.
Gu Mingyue laughed out of anger: "You are such a sharp-tongued girl! Today I will teach you a lesson and let you know what it means to respect elders!" After that, she kicked Gu Leyou. Gu Leyou leaped back lightly, her hair dancing in the wind. She quickly pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve and held it tightly in her hand as a defense. "Sister, don't push me too far. If you continue to act like this, don't blame me for being rude!" Gu Leyou shouted, with a hint of stubbornness and fearlessness in her eyes. Gu Mingyue was not willing to give up and attacked with several moves in succession, each one with fierce force.
It attracted a large number of people to watch at once.
An elderly grandfather advised: "What is the reason? You two families are relatives. It is shameful for sisters to quarrel like this."
"Grandpa Gu, you don't know, I was about to go out early in the morning, but my sister stopped me and she wouldn't let me go." Gu Leyou explained with red eyes.
"Gu family's eldest daughter, this is your fault. After all, this is your sister. You all have the surname Gu, so you are all family. Why do you have to make a fuss about such a small matter and let everyone know about it?"
These words were said by Gu Haicheng's neighbor.
"Who is related to their family? Didn't her father cut off ties with us a long time ago? So she is not my sister," Gu Mingyue blushed and felt embarrassed by what she said, so she got angry.
"Since my sister said so, I will have a good talk with you. You said that our family has nothing to do with your family. Then you are not my sister, so there is no need for me to give in to you. Get out of the way quickly. I have something else to do."
In front of everyone, Gu Leyou walked past Gu Mingyue.
The farce was over.
These neighbors usually don't do anything, they just like to watch the fun, especially when someone is having a quarrel or something.
