Chapter 90: Keep Warm
Uncle Gu knew that the eldest brother had always been dissatisfied with the second brother, and he had no intention of intervening when the two brothers quarreled.
After all, even if we are family, there will be times when our tongues touch our teeth.
Sometimes it is not a good thing to keep things in your heart. It is better to vent your dissatisfaction.
He was not qualified to be a father-in-law if he was neither deaf nor dumb, so he just watched the two brothers quarreling, and even stopped Gu Xiaogu from speaking.
But that has to be within the range that he can control. Small quarrels are fine, but if the quarrel hurts their brotherly feelings, he will definitely stop it.
Just like now, the two brothers were obedient. Although they both felt that they were right, they still didn't say anything.
Uncle Gu was also very satisfied with himself in front of his son.
He also knew that if this matter was not handled properly, there would be a gap between the two brothers, Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang.
Uncle Gu pondered for a moment, prepared his words in his mind, and finally spoke: "I understand what you mean. The eldest brother is right. The betrothal gift requested by the eldest daughter of the Fang family is indeed a bit too much..."
"Dad..." Afraid that his father would not agree, Chen Erzhuang spoke anxiously.
Uncle Gu waved his hand and told Erzhuang not to speak.
"Da Zhuang, Dad knows that spending twenty taels of silver on your second brother to marry him off is a bit too much.
But your brother has been eyeing this girl for so many years, and that girl is also a good one.
You have the heart to let him down by not letting him marry the girl he likes just because it costs a few more bucks?" Uncle Gu played the emotional card with Chen Dazhuang.
It must be said that Gu's uncle-in-law Chen Changgen really understood Chen Dazhuang, and after he said this, Chen Dazhuang did soften his heart.
As soon as Chen Dazhuang looked at his expression, Chen Changgen knew that he was soft-hearted, so he continued, "Silver is earned by people. As long as you two brothers work hard, I believe you can definitely earn twenty taels of silver."
After he finished speaking, he winked at Er Zhuang, who was also a smart guy. After receiving Chen Changgen's signal, he immediately said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you just now.
Big brother, please don't argue with me. I just like Fang Fang and want to marry her. Please help me.
I will work hard in the future and do odd jobs in town from time to time.
Big brother, please be kind and help me."
After Chen Erzhuang said this, Chen Dazhuang felt embarrassed to say anything else.
When Chen Changgen saw that Dazhuang's expression had eased, he knew that the matter was over for his eldest son.
"Okay, it's settled. Erzhuang, don't sit idle this winter. See if there's any work you can do in town.
No matter how much the salary is, any money earned is good." Chen Changgen said.
Chen Dazhuang had no objection, and Gu Xiaogu and Chen Erzhuang certainly had no objection. Chunxia, the only one who had an objection, had to calm down because her man agreed.
But I don’t know if it’s just a temporary lull.
In any case, Chunxia would definitely not watch Chen Erzhuang spend twenty taels of silver to marry a wife.
The conflict in the Chen family was over for the time being. Of course, even if they quarreled to the death, it had nothing to do with Gu Yan and the others.
The worst that could happen is that Erzhuang would be asked to work on the farm next year.
Gu Yan is now eating the three dishes fried by Li Wanqing, and he is enjoying them very much.
"Wife, this dish is delicious, you should eat it too." Gu Yan not only shared it for himself, but also gave it to Li Wanqing.
"Well, if you like it, eat more. If you like it, I will cook for you often in the future." Li Wanqing put the food that Gu Yan picked up into her mouth.
The couple had a warm dinner. Li Wanqing boiled some water and took Gu Yan to the space to take a bath.
Ever since the weather turned cold, they have been taking a bath in the space. After all, it is spring all year round in the space, so they don’t have to worry about catching a cold when taking a bath.
Bao Nuan Si has been busy these days and Gu Yan hasn't been intimate with Li Wanqing for several days. Now that there is nothing to do starting tomorrow, Gu Yan has been pestering Li Wanqing for most of the night.
When Li Wanqing finally fainted, she was still thinking, why not let Gu Yan continue chopping wood tomorrow.
Or you could catch some pheasants and rabbits.
It's not for anything else, at least it can use up his excess energy and save him from wasting his energy on her.
The next day, Li Wanqing woke up late as expected, but Gu Yan woke up early in the morning.
Thinking that there was nothing to do today, I didn't get up and slept in with Li Wanqing.
It was because she had made too much noise yesterday that Li Wanqing didn't open her eyes until it was time to make lunch.
But by this time Gu Yan had already gotten up.
Li Wanqing moved his body. Fortunately, this bastard Gu Yan still knew how to clean him.
Li Wanqing slowly took the clothes and put them on, then folded the bedding and placed it at the foot of the kang.
Finally, I put on my shoes, got off the kang and washed up.
Li Wanqing didn't see Gu Yan in the room. She heard some noise outside and came out to see what was going on.
Gu Yan was chopping wood outside. A few days ago, they brought back a lot of dead trees. These dead trees had to be cut into sections suitable for burning firewood, and then split into pieces. This would make it easier to burn in winter.
Gu Yan had already chopped a large pile of firewood and was now stacking it into a firewood pile, which meant stacking the chopped firewood against the wall.
Stack them into a large pile and cover them with thatch so that they won’t get wet when it snows in winter.
Seeing Li Wanqing coming out, Gu Yan stopped what he was doing.
"Wife, are you awake? I cooked porridge and eggs this morning. Come and have some." Gu Yan said.
"Okay, you chop the firewood first, and I'll stack it later." Li Wanqing felt sorry for Gu Yan who had to chop the firewood by himself and then stack it, so she wanted to finish her meal quickly and come out to help him.
"My wife doesn't need you, I can do it myself. If you're bored after dinner, just sit next to me and chat with me." Gu Yan couldn't bear to let his wife work. But if his wife sat next to him and chatted with him, he would still be willing.
Li Wanqing ignored him and let him work alone while she just watched from the side. She couldn't do this.
But there's no need to argue about this, she'll just come out and do it later.
Li Wanqing entered the kitchen, opened the lid of the pot, and saw that there was indeed a bowl of white porridge and two boiled eggs.
There were two bowls of pickled vegetables on the stove, one bowl of sour beans and the other bowl of spicy diced radish.
Li Wanqing ate the white porridge with some pickled vegetables and an egg, and she was full.
I don’t know if this silly man Gu Yan ate the eggs himself?
Li Wanqing peeled the remaining egg, took it outside, and put it to Gu Yan's mouth: "Eat the egg quickly. Did you eat eggs this morning?"
Gu Yan opened his mouth and took a bite of half an egg. He chewed it a few times and swallowed it before saying, "Eat it. Don't worry. I cooked three eggs this morning."
"One egg is not enough for a grown man like you. Cook two for yourself in the future. We don't lack them at home." Li Wanqing said as she stuffed the remaining egg into Gu Yan's mouth.
