Chapter 35: The Depravity of Pure Land Buddhism
After they left, Gu's mother slammed the door at their backs and cursed, "The weasel has no good intentions when he pays New Year's greetings to the chicken."
But they don’t know that their whole family are fighting chickens!
He slapped them away with one claw.
Gu Jianhua said, "Second Aunt and Second Sister-in-law are still the same."
Mother Gu snorted, "It's more likely that they will change their temper than to go out and make money."
Gu Jianhua said nothing more.
He rode his bike to his second sister's place, carrying two cans of food.
My second brother-in-law said, "You have gone from being a soldier killing the enemy in battle to a police officer catching bad guys and thieves."
Gu Jianhua: “You can say that.”
The second sister said, "This is good too. My wife, children and parents are all by my side. I don't have to worry about anything. I feel at ease."
After chatting for a while, we left Second Sister Gu's house and went to Eldest Sister Gu's house, which was also about ten minutes away.
Sister Gu and her brother-in-law, Gu Jianhua, were chatting when Sister Gu's daughter, Zhao Qingyu, came over and asked Gu Jianhua, "Uncle, did you bring me any candy?"
Gu Jianhua touched her hair and said, "Uncle brought you some canned food, do you want to eat it?"
Zhao Qingyu said she wanted to eat it, so Gu Jianhua prescribed it for her.
In response, Sister Gu glared at her daughter, and her brother-in-law also strongly disapproved of this behavior.
However, with the guest Gu Jianhua present, it was not appropriate for him to lose his temper and reprimand his daughter on the spot.
But that's not all.
The little girl looked up at Gu Jianhua while eating canned food and said, "Uncle, I also want to wear small leather shoes. Can you buy me a pair?"
Gu Jianhua was stunned. He really didn't expect his niece to ask him this question. He looked at Sister Gu in surprise. Sister Gu couldn't help but had a fit.
She said coldly, "Zhao Qingyu, who taught you this?"
Zhao Qingyu curled his lips and said nothing.
The elder brother-in-law is more effective than the elder sister Gu in speaking. He said in a deep voice,
"Who taught you that? Speak!"
The little girl's eyes were sparkling with tears, and she was about to cry. She said in a sobbing voice, "Yes...it was grandma. She said that uncle has money, and I can ask him for whatever I want."
Sister Gu was so angry after hearing this. Her mother-in-law was not a peaceful person. She didn't teach the good things and only taught the bad things. Her daughter was the same. She was naturally close to the old woman.
All he says is grandma, grandma.
She doesn't listen to her father, she doesn't listen to her grandmother.
"That's enough. Eating too much will give you a stomachache." Sister Gu took the can from Zhao Qingyu's hand.
The little girl didn't know how to share. She only cared about eating by herself and didn't even know to leave some for her two brothers. She almost finished all the food and there were only two left in the can.
Zhao Qingyu was crying beside her. She had heard from her mother that the little leather shoes her aunt wore were very nice and were bought by her uncle. She also wanted one, so she told her uncle about it.
Zhao Qingyu didn't understand why she was scolded.
Gu Jianhua didn't stay long and left after chatting for a while.
After the guests left, the naughty child was in trouble. Sister Gu found a broom and prepared to teach the girl a lesson.
Look at how well-behaved and sensible the three daughters of the second brother are.
The third lady knew exactly what to say and what not to say.
Her daughter, when her uncle came over in such a cold weather, she didn't even ask him if he was cold on the way, but just asked him for candy.
But when Sister Gu came out with a broom, Zhao Qingyu had already run away to her grandparents' house.
The eldest brother-in-law frowned and said, "I'll go talk to mom and teach her everything."
You have to know that Gu Jianhua, their brother-in-law, was very good to their family. He even helped them with the money and bricks for building their house.
A lot of special products were delivered a month ago.
I never come to their house empty-handed. When they go to my father-in-law's house during the Chinese New Year, they give the children 50 cents each as a New Year's gift.
Eat and take at the same time.
His wife's family is fine, one should not be greedy.
On the way back, Gu Jianhua thought about it and realized that there was a huge difference between the eldest sister's daughter and the second sister's daughter.
When I went to my second sister's house, as soon as I entered the door, the eldest brother poured me hot water. The second brother took a stool and said, "Uncle, please sit down." The third brother said, "It's so cold outside, Uncle, your nose is frozen and red. Come and warm yourself up by the fire."
After that, he didn't say he wanted to eat canned candy or anything like that.
My second sister and brother-in-law taught me well.
Gu Jianhua went home, said goodbye to his parents, and then went to the county town.
Just in time for lunch.
"You're back. Wash your hands quickly. The food is just out of the pot." Su's mother greeted him warmly.
Two dishes, braised pork, stewed chicken with mushrooms, plus pickled vegetables, and opened canned food, which counts as four dishes.
Of course, braised pork is served with rice.
It's still just plain white rice, but it's just one meal.
A few meals of plain white rice a year is enough. You can't afford to eat it every day.
A lot of braised pork was cooked, and Su's father made a big bowl of soup.
At the invitation of Su's father and mother, Comrade Gu Jianhua ate three bowls of rice and drank a large bowl of chicken soup.
I'm tired of eating.
Su's mother said, "You must be tired after taking the train all the way here. Let's take a nap and rest in the afternoon."
Gu Jianhua nodded, "I understand, Mom."
Father Su asked, "Can we have braised fish or stewed fish for dinner?"
Of course it’s fine, it’s all meat.
Gu Jianhua had no objection, "Dad, just watch and do it. Everything you cook will taste good."
This pleased Su's father, who said proudly, "Then your mother said that my cooking skills are no different from those of the chefs in state-owned hotels."
Gu Jianhua, "Mom is right, I really can't taste the difference."
Comrade Su Changyuan should not be too cocky.
Su's mother felt that she had to change the way she praised her chef Su. For example, as a chef with superb cooking skills, she should learn to be humble and stay calm when others praise her.
I just said, "You're flattered. How can I compare with other chefs?"
After sitting on the train for seven days and seven nights, Gu Jianhua was really tired and nervous all the way, so he fell asleep the moment he lay down on the bed.
Su He was talking to him one second and the next second he heard his soft snoring.
She kissed his cheek, then lay on his arms and fell asleep on her side.
There is no way that pregnant women cannot lie flat in the middle and late stages of pregnancy.
The two of them slept until six in the evening.
They woke up only when Su's father called them to eat.
Gu Jianhua said, "I feel like I can sleep soundly now."
No dreams, no waking up in the middle.
Su He was the same, she slept peacefully.
The two of them walked out of the house, and Su He found that her second brother and his wife had also come over, so she went over to greet them and introduced them.
"Sister-in-law, this is Jianhua."
"Jianhua, this is my second sister-in-law."
After the introduction, Gu Jianhua went to chat with her second brother, while Su He chatted with her sister-in-law.
Pei Chuwei asked, "Xiao Si, are you tired of being pregnant?"
Su He, "Of course I am tired. I haven't vomited yet in the early stages. If I have morning sickness, it will be even more uncomfortable."
"In the later stages of pregnancy, the enlarged uterus squeezes the intestines, making bowel movements difficult."
"I can't even get my toenails cut now, and I can't bend my waist."
Pei Chu sighed, "Being a mother is not easy."
