Chapter 28 City Three Good Families 3
Shen Hongying felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't recover for a whole long time.
She tried hard to recall the incident, wondering how Miao Xiuju had left a way out for Liu Guizhi, and how she had hidden the trick from her eyes.
But she couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried!
I can’t figure it out no matter how hard I try!
At first, I asked Liu Guizhi to take it first, and she actually took the smallest one. Could it be that she was deliberately lying to me? If I hadn't stopped her, she would have taken the medium-sized one, right?
Did she guess that I would stop her and learn from her, so she deliberately lied to me?
But... is Liu Guizhi so cunning? It doesn't seem like it!
Shen Hongying was so upset that she almost didn't eat that day when she thought about how such a good opportunity flew away from her. She kept regretting that she would not have stopped Liu Guizhi earlier.
Liu Guizhi took the smallest one, and the greedy Liu Zhaodi would definitely take the largest one, so she would be left with the mediocre mud ball, and it would be her man who would go to the city to attend the meeting and visit to broaden his horizons.
Unfortunately, time cannot be reversed, and she has no chance to start over. She can only stand there staring blankly, regretting and beating her chest in frustration.
After feeling frustrated for most of the day, Shen Hongying laid down in bed and started crying: "Weiguo, I'm so sorry. I couldn't give you that chance. I'm so sorry..."
Gu Weiguo was also helpless: "My brain is not as good as Weidong's. Wouldn't it be better to let Weidong go over and gain some experience and come back to tell us about it? It doesn't matter if I don't go. If you didn't catch it, you didn't catch it. What's there to say about being sorry or not."
Gu Weiguo had wanted to say it a long time ago. He was not really keen on going to the city, but Shen Hongying was obsessed with it, so he didn't want to discourage her.
After hearing this, Shen Hongying raised her tear-red eyes from the quilt and snorted, "I'm just being too eager. The emperor isn't anxious, but the eunuch is. I'm really worrying in vain!"
Liu Zhaodi was of course also upset. She was upset that when Chen Hongying took away the small mud ball, she had a 50% chance of getting the mud ball with the red string, but she was greedy and took the big one.
Why don’t you know which one is the mediocre one?
Liu Zhaodi thought about it and understood Miao Xiujiu's thoughts.
Miao Xiuju is very cunning. She doesn't like greedy people. If you take the biggest thing, she will not let you get what you want.
Alas... thinking about this, Liu Zhaodi was also very annoyed, but she didn't want Shen Hongying to say it directly. She was feeling aggrieved, with a gloomy face and no smile on her face.
When Gu Weijun asked her what was wrong, she replied sarcastically, "Nothing."
Gu Weijun was used to it and didn't ask any more questions.
Liu Zhaodi felt even more upset when she saw this, thinking that her worries were in vain and that her husband didn't care about her at all. This made her wonder, why didn't he care about her? It must be because she gave birth to three girls, and girls were worthless, so men didn't take her seriously, so they didn't take her seriously.
She sighed sadly, and suddenly felt that she had no one to blame. If she had to blame someone, she should blame her own bad luck.
Compared to the gloomy expressions of the two sisters-in-law, Liu Guizhi from the fourth room was so excited that her face turned red.
She didn't have much hope. She had always had bad luck since she was a child. During the Chinese New Year, people would force her to play cards, and she would lose every time she played. Over time, she never expected any good luck, and only hoped to work hard to make a living. But who would have thought that under the watchful eyes of her two sisters-in-law, she actually touched the mud ball with a red line!
Liu Guizhi couldn't help wanting to laugh, but seeing the lost looks of her two sisters-in-law, she was too embarrassed to laugh. She tried her best to hold it back, and she kept holding it back until she returned to her room. Finally, she couldn't help it and smiled with pursed lips.
She hugged her daughter Fubao and kissed her little face, which was as soft and elastic as a freshly cracked egg, clear and delicate.
Fubao also noticed that his mother was really happy that his father could go to the city for a meeting.
Several guys nearby were also circling around and asking Gu Weidong all kinds of questions.
Gu Yuehua: "Dad, how far is it to the city? What does the bus look like?"
Gu Shengtian: "Dad, you went to the city, when will you come back?"
Gu Yuejin: "Dad, please buy me a picture book. Li Nianzi from the production brigade next to our school has one. It's really good. I like the ones called 'Fire Cloud Cave' and 'Melting Wax' the most..."
…
Gu Weidong thought about it and felt very happy. He was eager to try it out, and his face was full of smiles: "Okay, I'll buy you a sketchbook and some pencils and erasers from the city! I don't know what the buses are like, I have to wait until I see them to find out."
Gu Weidong finally managed to calm the three boys down after making some promises. When he looked up, he saw his mute wife smiling at him with her lips pursed, her eyes as beautiful as the moon.
Liu Guizhi cannot be said to be a great beauty, but she looks good in this countryside. The more you look at her, the more attractive she becomes. She is not like other women with big arms and waist, but has thin arms and legs. Although she has given birth to three children, she still has a small waist, the kind that can be pinched with one hand at night.
Gu Weidong's heart suddenly moved.
At that time, Chen Youfu said that he had to leave the day after tomorrow for a visit, training and study for about seven or eight days, which means he would not be able to come back for these seven or eight days.
His face flushed, and he smiled and said, "Let the boys rest early in the next two days. I need to rest well. I have to leave for the city the day after tomorrow."
The words were subtle, but after being married for ten years, Liu Guizhi knew what he meant. Her face flushed, and she lowered her head and nodded slightly, "Yeah."
So that night, the three boys were quickly called to sleep on the other side of the kang, and Fubao was coaxed to sleep, while Gu Weidong and his mute wife hid in the quilt and started to stir.
Thinking about not having his soft wife hug him in bed for the rest of his life, he wanted to make up for the next seven or eight days in one go. Farmers do hard work, and Gu Weidong is a strong man. He can usually lift a stone mill with a little effort. Now, hugging Liu Guizhi in bed, it is really easy. However, Liu Guizhi is very tired. Afterwards, she lay there, covering her mouth with a pillow, humming softly, as if she was about to cry.
………………
Gu Weidong was going out, a big deal. No one in their Pingxi Production Brigade had ever been to the city except Grandma Hu. So Gu Weidong went to ask Grandma Hu what the situation was like in the city. Grandma Hu said, "There are foreigners, Japanese, and soldiers in the city. Be careful when you go out. There are rickshaws everywhere. If you accidentally run into one, they'll shoot you."
Gu Weidong was stunned after hearing this, and then his legs went weak and he went to Chen Youfu to verify.
Chen Youfu was almost dying of laughter: "Grandma Hu's time was before the liberation. Now we have a new China, there is no way there are any Japanese, and no one dares to shoot you, don't worry!"
Gu Weidong thought about it and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When he got home, he started packing his things and preparing his luggage. Miao Xiujiu had already helped him with the arrangements. When he was away from home, he had to be poor at home but rich on the road. Besides, this was an honorable thing. He was going to the city to receive awards and gain experience. He couldn't let him embarrass the commune, so she collected the only two Zhongshan suits that his brothers had and gave them to Gu Weidong to take with him so that he could look good.
Before leaving, Miao Xiujiu called Gu Weidong over again and secretly gave him ten yuan.
After all this trouble, Gu Weidong was finally sent away, and the family finally had some peace and quiet.
But by this time, Shen Hongying was already very, very unhappy.
She was already feeling aggrieved, and then Miao Xiujiu borrowed Gu Weiguo's only good pair of pants. Shen Hongying felt extremely aggrieved, as she didn't get any advantage and had to contribute to others.
Liu Zhaodi was even more unhappy. She secretly winked at Shen Hongying and asked her to come to her room so that the two sisters-in-law could talk in private.
Chen Hongying: "I just feel bad for your brother's pants. He's only worn them for a year or two, without a single patch, and they're just borrowed like that. What's the saying? It's like making clothes for someone else to wear! Don't you think I feel bad?"
Seeing no one outside the door, Liu Zhaodi lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry about your pants yet, sister-in-law. I want to tell you something that is really infuriating!"
Shen Hongying: "What's the matter?"
Isn’t it infuriating enough to have your pants borrowed from you?
Liu Zhaodi: "My mother secretly gave Weidong ten yuan."
Chen Hongying was furious when she heard this: "Ah? Is there such a thing? Didn't they say that the government provides food and drink, so there's no need to spend money on anything? Why do I have to pay ten yuan now?"
Liu Zhaodi snorted and curled her lips: "How would I know? Anyway, I secretly heard it under the window sill and gave ten yuan."
Chen Hongying was furious: "How can this be okay? It's only ten yuan. I can't stand this. I have to talk to my mother!"
We're all family, why should I give Gu Weidong ten yuan? Ten yuan, and let him squander it like that? Hasn't he taken advantage of me enough?
So one day, when the family was working, Miao Xiujiu was talking to her grandchildren when she saw her two daughters-in-law walk in.
The eldest daughter-in-law looked like she was going to blame someone, while the third daughter-in-law hid behind her cautiously.
Haha, are you here to ask her about the ten dollars?
She just knew it.
So she smiled and said, "Call all your men in first, and let's talk it out face to face."
