"Really, Grandpa Gu???" The three brothers have been worried about their family ever since they came here, especially Grandpa Jiang. Now that they have an answer, they can finally rest assured.
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? Come on, wash your hands and get ready for dinner. It's very cold now." As he said that, the old man went to wash his hands first.
"Then who did you see in the cowshed just now, Grandpa?" Gu Chengshi was curious. If it wasn't a member of the Jiang family, then who was it?
"It's your Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Wu, and Grandpa Liu." Knowing that they would keep asking questions if he didn't tell them, Grandpa Gu spoke in a dull voice.
"Ah~ Why are there three of them???" Gu Chengshi and Gu Ya asked in surprise at the same time.
The brother and sister looked at each other, suddenly remembered something, looked at Wu Shuling again, and then said:
"Grandpa, what's the situation of Shu Ling's aunt's family saying now, and her grandparents?"
"They, of course, went to reform."
Thinking of his blind relative-in-law, who was tricked into reform by his daughter's family and almost implicated his daughter, Grandpa Gu lost his temper.
After wiping his hands with a towel, he walked to Wu Shuling, looked at her with a slightly serious expression, told her everything that had happened at her aunt's house, and told her what her grandparents were planning at the time.
After these words were spoken, Gu Chengshi and others finally understood why Wu Shuling's elder brother did not stay in Nanshi, but ran away to work as the chief secretary in a small commune.
Several people looked at her with sympathetic eyes, making Wu Shuling at a loss for words.
"Grandpa, is my elder sister okay?" Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she looked up at Grandpa Gu and asked.
"It's okay, she went to your uncle's place."
"That's good. Since my family won't be affected, I'm still happy to watch my grandparents have fun."
Anyway, those people don't like their family, so it would be a good opportunity to improve their temper. After thinking about it, Wu Shuling went into the kitchen to help serve the dishes and prepare for dinner.
He Wanqing listened quietly to the conversation of several people, reached out to put down the kang table, slowly sat down on the kang, and glanced at several people while eating.
Gu Ya, who was standing by, saw her confusion and whispered in her ear about the three old men.
After knowing that two of the three elderly people were Grandpa Gu’s old comrades-in-arms and one was the director of traditional Chinese medicine at Nanshi Military Hospital, who was also his old comrade-in-arms, she said nothing and ate quietly.
Lunch was over quickly. Grandpa Gu, who had watched He Wanqing go out for a walk to digest her food after lunch, forgot about her today. He finished his bowl and left without a care in the world.
When Gu Ya and the others came out after washing the dishes, Grandpa Gu had completely disappeared.
Everyone knew where he had gone and didn't ask. After leaving Gu Ya and Wu Shuling at home to accompany He Wanqing to prepare the vegetables in the backyard and shell the walnuts at the door, Gu Chengshi and the others went up the mountain again.
He Wanqing, standing at the door, thought that no one was watching her in the afternoon and she could go for a walk in the mountain, but she was watched again in the end.
When He's mother came from home with a bunch of cotton shoes that needed soles, I saw her looking towards the mountain from time to time:
"Don't even think about it. Don't go to the mountain this year. If you want to go, go next year. I won't stop you if you want to live in the mountain."
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. After seeing what she was thinking from her eyes, He's mother immediately cut off her thoughts.
After her thoughts were exposed, He Wanqing smiled awkwardly, took a bench and sat next to He's mother to please her, hoping that she would be allowed to go out for some fresh air.
Unfortunately, after He's mother gave her a look that showed she understood, she put on the soles of her shoes and chatted with Aunt Shen who came to visit, without even looking at her.
She smiled awkwardly at the warning look, returned to her previous position, and sat with Chen Ping and the others, peeling shells and chatting until it was almost dark, when they each went home.
While having dinner in the evening, I saw that Grandpa Gu’s brows were never relaxed.
He Wanqing wanted to say a few words to comfort them, but seeing that Gu Ya and the others were silent, she held back.
After dinner, Grandpa Gu put the food he had asked them to leave before the meal into a bamboo basket and left home under the moonlight.
As soon as Grandpa Gu left, the low pressure in the room instantly returned to normal.
After Gu Ya and Wu Shuling washed the dishes in the kitchen, they called Gu Chengshi and the other two and left. He Wanqing, who wanted to find out why Grandpa Gu behaved like that just now, had to hold back.
After watching the six people leave, she walked back to the room, closed the door and slipped into the space.
Looking at the yard full of chickens, ducks, geese, as well as the goats, wild boars and black pigs that have been collected during this period, as well as the hares, pheasants, roe deer and deer, the suppressed desire to make money in my heart surged out again.
But it’s not possible. My belly is too big and it would be easily exposed if I took it out. I’d better wait and see after I give birth.
At that time, I can sell the mushrooms on the ground and also sell a ginseng.
She walked to the peach tree and picked a peach as a fruit after dinner. She stood by the river, drooling at the fish and shrimps swimming in the water.
Alas~
Now if I want to cook for myself, I can only come to the space and not outside. After thinking about it, I used my mind to catch a black fish and a pound of river shrimps before returning to the kitchen.
Half an hour later, the spicy boiled fish and dry pot shrimp were ready.
She moved the table to the backyard, cooked a small meal, and enjoyed the scenery of the backyard until her stomach was full and the dishes were washed. Then she went back to her room to rest.
Over the next few days, Grandpa Gu went from being in a low mood at the beginning to returning to his previous state later on, and began running around with Grandpa He and Grandpa Shen.
In the meantime, the three Jiang Sui brothers also received a letter from Yunnan Province, which told them where the whole family was, and that Grandpa Jiang and his family were in good health and were looking forward to their return.
Since receiving the letter, the three brothers were in better and better mood. They didn't even need anyone to urge them to go up the mountain. They woke up early every morning and called Gu Chengshi to go up the mountain to chop firewood.
Now He Wanqing's firewood room, Gu Chengshi and his family's firewood room, Zhou Lianyi's firewood room, and He's mother's firewood room are all full of firewood, enough to burn until next summer.
It was a foggy day. The commune held its first New Year's fair before hibernation. Everyone in the Hejia Brigade who had nothing to do at home went to the commune.
He Wanqing and Chen Ping, who got up early in the morning, packed their bags and were ready to follow the crowd to the commune, were directly rejected by He's mother. The reason was simple: it was unsafe for them as pregnant women to be in the crowd.
Standing at the entrance of the village, watching the ox carts taking away the people who were going to the market, He Wanqing and Chen Ping looked at each other and walked back helplessly.
On the way, I met the Xu Qiuhua sister who had not been seen for a long time.
Seeing the two sisters looking guilty, the cousins looked at each other, turned their heads to look at the village aunties and grandmas who were being taken away by the ox cart, and finally suppressed the desire to cause trouble and went home.
Since the gossipy and nosy people are not here, the two pregnant women should wait and see.
