Chapter 72 Who is better, Wang Dahu or me?
They don't cry much, and they only hum a few times when they are hungry or have pooped or peed. They are quiet at other times. I don't know if it's because of the health-enhancing pills or if these two babies are born to be quiet angel babies.
After chatting for a while, maybe Second Sister Gu spoke too loudly and woke up her son. The little Red Army soldier started crying as soon as he woke up. Second Sister Gu hurried over distressed, "Mom is here, mom is here!"
The little Red Army has not yet been weaned.
Su He said, "Second sister, it's almost time to wean your baby."
Little Red Army is one year old now. Sister Gu nodded and said, "I thought so too. It's just that I was soft-hearted and fed him as soon as he cried."
Maybe it was because she gave birth to two babies at once. It was not as focused as raising one baby, so Su He was not soft-hearted when it came time to wean the baby.
She was eager to stop breastfeeding as soon as possible. Breastfeeding was so tiring. Plus, her two babies had grown teeth and were biting her, which was really painful. So she rubbed bitter melon juice on her chest. She bought it from the supermarket, but she only rubbed it once, and her two babies stopped drinking it.
But I still have to touch it occasionally.
Grandma is the spiritual comfort of the babies, and they feel safe just by touching her.
Su He said, "You can sleep through the night after you stop breastfeeding. Besides, you probably don't have much milk left, so the sooner you stop breastfeeding, the better."
The heroine Gu Li in the book is also a ruthless person. She actually fed her three sons until they were three years old. It would have been fine if she only fed one son, but she fed all three of them until they were three years old.
She stopped breastfeeding when she went to kindergarten, because with the help of the systematic pills, her milk supply was endless.
And because the male protagonist Zhou Yinghuai is jealous of his three sons, it's... very...
She couldn't understand it anyway.
Sister Gu nodded and said, "Next time I will smear some of that seal red mud on it and say that rat blood is dirty. I guess the Red Army won't dare to drink it."
It is impossible to expect a child to wean automatically and obediently; the mother's intervention is required.
Su He didn't stay at Second Sister Gu's house for too long. She came out after chatting for a while. Second Sister Gu didn't let her go back empty-handed. She gave her some sweet potatoes that she grew in the backyard.
"This sweet potato is so sweet, Xiaohe, you can steam it and eat it."
"Okay, second sister, that's exactly what I was thinking."
Gu's mother didn't plant sweet potatoes in her backyard, but she did plant a lot of corn and sweet peanuts. After the corn was ripe, she ate a few meals of it herself and gave the rest away.
Send her parents, the Pei family, and the third sister, Team Leader Wang.
The vegetables from Gu's mother's home were supplied to her mother's family last summer, and this summer they were supplied to three families. Fortunately, they grew a lot and there was enough to eat.
Su He returned home carrying a basket of sweet potatoes.
The two babies had already woken up and were playing on the kang. Gu's mother was watching the two babies, but she didn't see Gu Jianhua. Su He asked Gu's mother,
"Mom, where's Jianhua?"
Mother Gu said, "He went up the mountain to collect firewood."
There is not much firewood left at home, and winter is almost here. There is still one month left. It will be winter after October, so we have to prepare firewood for the winter.
Su He had never been up the mountain before. When she heard that Gu Jianhua had gone up the mountain, she wanted to go. Gu's mother said, "He will go tomorrow. Xiao He, you should go with him tomorrow. It's definitely too late today. If you go into the mountain alone, he will get lost."
"Got it, Mom. I'll go with him tomorrow."
Gu Jianhua was lucky and met a rabbit, so his dinner changed from pickled eggplant to braised rabbit meat and steamed sweet potato and cornmeal buns.
A very rich meal.
The two babies couldn't chew the rabbit meat and could only sip the juice on it. However, they could eat the sweet potatoes, which were as sweet as Second Sister Gu said.
Suho ate two.
The next day, Su He followed Gu Jianhua up the mountain. She was curious as she had never been to the mountains before. She followed Gu Jianhua and looked left and right with curiosity all the way.
In the book, the heroine goes into the mountains, and readers in the comment section are expecting whether she will pick up ginseng or ganoderma lucidum, or perhaps some gold bars hidden by the landlord.
Unfortunately, the back hill of Xiangyang Brigade is just an ordinary hill. It is good enough to grow a few mushrooms, let alone Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng. As for the gold bars hidden by the landlord,
The landlords here are probably not that rich.
She heard from Gu's mother that there were landlords in several nearby villages before the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, the houses where the landlords lived were similar to those of ordinary people, and their food was also slightly better.
Maybe the landlords here are poor landlords, not the wealthy landlords described in the books.
Heard that there were wolves and bears in the deep mountains, so Gu Jianhua didn't bring a hunting rifle. And to collect firewood, he didn't need to go into the mountains, so he could just pick some from the outside.
I pushed the cart from home up here, and was responsible for filling it up this morning.
In addition to picking up branches, we also cut down some tree stumps and brought them back. Branches are not resistant to burning, but tree stumps are. If we put a few of them on the kang at night, they can burn until dawn.
At first, Su He was very enthusiastic about picking branches, but later she became reluctant to do so and wandered around. Gu Jianhua then told her, "Wife, don't walk too far."
“Just wandering around here.”
Su He nodded, "I won't run far."
She was also afraid of getting lost.
The land behind their mountain was uneven with many small valleys. Su He walked around nearby and came to a small slope. He saw a few black hibiscus plants on it and went over to pick them.
Just as he stretched out his hand, he heard voices coming from below. Su He was frightened and his hand that was about to pick up Hei Youyou was suspended in mid-air.
"You miss me so much, can't you wait until night?"
It was a female voice, and it sounded familiar.
Su He wondered where he had heard this before!
"Of course I do. I miss you so much. I can't help it. Please give me your scent quickly." This impatient voice was of course a man's.
It also sounds a bit familiar.
It was obvious that the two of them were in an improper relationship. Su He eavesdropped for a while and heard that they were shouting very loudly, as if they were sure that no one else would come over.
"Who is better, me or Wang Dahu?"
“Ah! You you you!”
This.......
Su He confirmed who the following two people were!
The woman is Gu's second sister's sister-in-law Ge Cuilan, and the man is Li Yinhua's husband Zhang Daneng!
If they are not these two people, how come they are together?
Aren’t Ge Cuilan and Li Yinhua good sisters? Last year, she even mocked Gu Erjie for not being able to give birth to a son.
This...this...are they connected together?
In the middle of the day, during the busy farming season, why did these two people come to the mountains to do this instead of working? Didn't the book say that this generation of people was simple and honest, and conservative in their thinking?
Dare to have an affair
Su He didn't dare to listen any more, for fear of being discovered.
Then he sneaked back. Gu Jianhua said, "When I turned around, you disappeared. I was shocked. Don't go far, my wife."
Su He did not reply to him, but walked up to Gu Jianhua and said mysteriously, "Jianhua, guess what I just discovered?"
Gu Jianhua, "What did you find? A hare or a pheasant?"
His wife's eyes were really too excited.
Su He didn't play tricks on him, but whispered to him, telling him everything the two of them had said about who was better, Wang Dahu or me.
Gu Jianhua looked a little unnatural after hearing this. He finally said, "Let's just ignore it. Has anyone discovered it?"
Su He shook his head, "Of course not."
She was determined not to be discovered, so she tiptoed when leaving the hill, for fear of making any noise and disturbing the two people below.
However, the two of them were so absorbed in making love and having an affair that they had reached a certain state of excitement. Even if they made some noise, they probably wouldn't have noticed.
Su He didn't understand. If you want to steal, just go ahead. Why do you have to come to the mountains to steal? Aren't you just lying on the ground? Wouldn't the grass on the ground prick your butt?
It's autumn now and the weather is not cold yet, which is fine, but Xu Honglian and Chen Aimin were in March. They are in the north, the eastern part of Inner Mongolia Province, and it is very cold even in March. For example, in March last year, the snow hadn't melted yet!
Are you so anxious that you have to do that outside?
I can't go home.
Su He told Gu Jianhua about this doubt, and Gu Jianhua sighed, "Wife, you haven't thought it through. What do you think we're going to do when we get home?"
"You said that Xu Honglian and Chen Aimin are not married, so why did they go home..."
"And these two, each has his own family."
Hearing this, Su He nodded and said jokingly, "Yes, you are quite considerate."
Gu Jianhua, ".......Actually, this kind of thing happens quite often here."
Su He was shocked. "What?"
"Either she's having an affair or she's out..." Gu Jianhua hesitated to speak.
Su He immediately understood and asked curiously, "Jianhua, tell me about it."
Gu Jianhua: "When I was a kid, I followed my father into the mountains to collect firewood, and I encountered this once."
This person is none other than their village secretary and his wife.
When he was a child, he didn't understand why they had to lie naked on the ground. He came back and told his mother, and his mother said not to tell this to outsiders.
You will understand when you grow up.
After listening to this, Su He said, "........These two people are still blaming that. They seem so serious on the surface."
Village Secretary Zhao Qingyou gives people the impression of being very strict, stern, and upright. Although his wife is from the village, she also gives people the impression of being superior.
You would never imagine these two people doing something like that in the wild.
Gu Jianhua looked at her and said, "Can we judge people by appearance? Let's not talk about others, but you, my wife. You seem so quiet and well-behaved on the surface."
His wife looks like that, very peaceful and gentle, and she looks like a good girl.
But the way they speak and act is completely opposite.
She is quick and decisive in her work, and speaks like a tomboy.
And she was like a female bandit in bed, so fierce that she made him look like an abducted young wife.
After hearing what Gu Jianhua said, Su He thought that she was also completely different from her inner self. She said, "Don't just blame me, you are the same."
Gu Jianhua looks like a tough guy, like the one in the book who can't get out of bed for three days and three nights, but inside...
Just to make it clear,
She didn't say that her Jianhua was not good.
After all, it is impossible for a normal person to do that for three days and three nights. If they really do that, they will die.
What she meant was that her son Jianhua was very different. He would act like a kitten and act cute to her, and he was very careful in doing any work, and he was also very good at cooking.
Su He thought the man she found was really good.
Gu Jianhua smiled and said, "As long as you are satisfied, that's fine."
I am definitely satisfied. Extremely satisfied.
"Jianhua, tell me, are there any similar incidents in your village? Or in other villages."
Su He loves to listen to other people's gossip, especially the exciting and outrageous kind.
Gu Jianhua looked at her with a particularly helpless look.
"Yes." A lot.
Su He: "I would like to hear the details."
Gu Jianhua, "There was a family in Dakuo Village where a son-in-law, daughter, and mother-in-law lived together. Then the son-in-law got together with the mother-in-law and they had a son."
"Is it true or false?"
Su He was extremely shocked, and her expression at this moment was just like the black question mark face described in the book.
The son-in-law got together with his mother-in-law and had a son
Outrageous!
All the men in the world are dead, but she is still in love with her son-in-law. And this son-in-law is also in love with her. Mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law's mother is also your mother. How can you get them together?
"What about my daughter? Do she and her son-in-law have children?" Su He asked.
Gu Jianhua nodded, "Yes, a son and a daughter."
Su He, "Then how are we going to live from now on? Should we call the child our brother or what?"
Gu Jianhua shook his head. "I don't know. This happened in the past. My grandmother's generation is dead now, and their children are no longer in Dakuo Village."
My grandma’s generation was from the Qing Dynasty.
Books often say that the ancients had feudal ideas. Is this feudal? Feudal ideas do not mean feudal behavior.
"Anything else?"
"Yes, in which village nearby? My sister and brother-in-law are in love."
Su He shook his head, "This one doesn't explode. We have one over there, too. I've heard of it. Why don't you get one that explodes more."
Gu Jianhua was helpless. "My third sister's previous husband was from a family in Liujia Village. The child born to my niece's wife was my eldest uncle's, and the son born to my eldest aunt's wife was my younger brother-in-law's. My second niece's wife had an affair with my cousin's husband."
Su He, ".........I'll smooth it out later."
This is too confusing. It took Su He two minutes to sort it out.
"How can this family be so chaotic? Is this incest?"
Gu Jianhua: "There were about a dozen people. There was no actual evidence. We just heard from villagers that they saw someone sneaking into the cornfield or into the haystack. But the ironclad relationship between my second nephew's wife and my cousin's husband was discovered by everyone."
Su He, "And then? Divorce or continue living together?"
Gu Jianhua: "I heard that it continued, but I don't know now. It was more than ten years ago."
Su He, "Human beings are no different from animals."
Sometimes I feel even worse than an animal.
"Jianhua, why is Ge Cuilan together with Zhang Daneng? I heard that Ge Cuilan's husband Wang Dahu treats her very well." Su He walked to Gu Jianhua with Chai Chai and asked in a low voice.
Gu Jianhua reached out and plucked the leaves from her hair, then smiled and shook his head, "I don't know about that."
Who knows what's going on in their minds? Anyway, he would never do such a thing.
Su He didn't quite understand. She heard from Second Sister Gu that although Wang's mother-in-law was not a good person, the sons she gave birth to were all okay. She was good to her daughter-in-law and children.
She had met Ge Cuilan and Wang Dahu before, and they looked good together! And Li Yinhua and Zhang Daneng, too, they were both good couples!
Because of why?
Of course it was because of the last name, it was exciting. In fact, Ge Cuilan and Zhang Daneng have been together for two years.
Ge Cuilan got along well with Li Yinhua and often went to Zhang's house. As a result, she also got along well with Zhang Daneng and called him "Big Brother".
Originally, it was nothing. One time when Zhang Daneng went up the mountain to collect firewood, he met Ge Cuilan. Ge Cuilan was carrying a huge bundle of firewood, so Zhang Daneng wanted to help her. However, he slipped and rolled into the valley.
Or the kind where they put pressure on each other.
These two people may have some feelings for each other, so they just broke through that layer of paper and got together.
And Ge Cuilan found that Zhang Daneng was worthy of his name. He was different from Da Hu. She could always...
Since she had been sterilized, Ge Cuilan was not afraid of pregnancy, so the two of them just did it casually. The feeling of having an affair behind others' backs was both tense and exciting for both of them.
The two of them were very careful and had never been discovered in the past two years.
It was just that I happened to run into Su He today. After all, who would have thought that someone would go up the mountain to collect firewood and walk so far during the busy farming season.
Of course, they didn't know they were discovered by Su He.
