The first day of being eavesdropped
"Be gentle, don't touch the child."
He Chunlian gathered the scarf around her neck, walked around the coal pile on the ground, and said to her son rudely.
While she said this, she did not forget to respond to the greetings of the neighbors around her.
"Auntie He, is your child back? How is he?"
The old grandson in the west wing was cooking on the coal stove at the door, and he leaned his head to inquire.
He Chunlian exhaled a breath, and in the cold winter, this breath turned into smoke. "Well, the doctor said the child is not seriously ill, just a fever from freezing. It will be fine after the fever subsides."
"That's fine. If it's not a serious problem, then it's fine," the old grandson sighed while frying Chinese cabbage with vinegar. He couldn't help but look at Gu Jinshui and Gu Yinxing, and said to Gu Yinxing with a smile: "Yinxing, we are not here to discuss life today. You have to dress up."
Gu Yinxing looked like He Chunlian when she was young. She loved to dress up and was willing to spend money. She wore a white sweater with a beige top on the outside. The tweed coat was frozen, and his nose was red. He sniffed and said conceitedly, "Why should I dress up? This outfit is the most fashionable in Beijing today."
Gu Jinshui rolled his eyes, kicked open the cotton curtain, and put the child down after entering the room. He saw that the child in the swaddle still had his eyes closed. He blew on his hand, and when he was warm, he reached out and touched him, "Thank goodness the fever has gone down."
"Just be thankful that Liang Ying found it when she came back from her night shift. Otherwise, with your dead sleep, the child would have been..." He Chunlian untied the scarf around her neck and was lighting the brazier. When she said this, she realized that it was bad luck, so she stopped talking and raised her head to glare at Gu Jinshui. "Anyway, you are a father now, you have to know your limits."
Gu Jinshui touched his nose. He was usually careless, and it was not the first time that He Chunlian scolded him, but this time he was indeed wrong.
The child in the cradle seemed to be awakened, opened his eyes, and his pair of black eyes were bright and clear. He looked at Gu Jinshui and smacked his lips a few times.
"Hey, my daughter can call me daddy now."
Gu Jinshui immediately put He Chunlian's scolding behind his mind and walked up to the daughter, "Daughter, call me daddy a few more times."
Daddy, you big head ghost.
Gu Yousi looked at the handsome man in front of her, and her heart was very MMP.
She had been through it for three days. At first, she was groggy and could only hear the Beijing dialect around her. She suspected that she had traveled to Beijing. Later, when she felt better, she found that she had traveled to Beijing, but the problem was that it was Beijing in 1983.
Good news, she was traveled to Beijing.
Bad news, she traveled too far back.
1983, what a concept.
Gu Yousi didn't know. She only knew that during the few days she was in the hospital, the nurses kept talking about where to buy pork, how they had to use their connections to reserve some fat meat, and how they had to stock up on hundreds of kilograms of cabbage to prepare for the New Year...
Among them, one nurse seemed to have received a bonus of twenty dollars. Because of this, the other nurses were so jealous that their eyes were red.
Gu Yousi was speechless.
She didn't know how she traveled through time and why she traveled through time.
Gu Yousi's life was neither good nor bad. Although she was an orphan, she had a talent for studying since she was young. She went abroad to study computer science, with an annual salary of several hundred thousand US dollars. She even had a house and a car. Basically, she had no regrets.
She only remembered that before she came through, a junior high school classmate suddenly contacted her and recommended a book to her, saying that there was a supporting character in the book with the same name as her.
Gu Yousi had nothing to do so she finished reading the book. Perhaps because she stayed up too late, she woke up and found herself in another world.
"Mom, I bought half a chicken and a pound of meat."
Smoke rose from all over the big courtyard. Liang Ying came back on her bike, parked the car in the yard, and went into her house with a net bag.
After entering the house, she handed the net bag to He Chunlian first, and then looked down at her daughter. Seeing her daughter's face flushed and her eyes sparkling, she was so happy in her heart, "Is Erniu okay?"
Gu Yousi rolled her eyes silently.
This is another thing that Gu Yousi dislikes.
Her nickname is Erniu, which was given to her in the hospital. It is said that her grandmother thought that bad names are easier to keep, so she named her Erniu.
As for why she is the second child even though she is an only child, the old lady is more particular, thinking that this is more likely to deceive the god of death.
"No." Gu Jinshui picked up Gu Yousi happily and weighed her in his arms, "How are you doing in the factory? Your team leader didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
In order to take care of the child, Liang Ying asked for leave yesterday. The team leader was not happy about asking for leave at the end of the year when they were rushing to meet the deadline. He said a lot of unpleasant things and deducted one day's salary, but Liang Ying still asked for leave.
"No."
Liang Ying shook her head.
She took the child and said to Gu Jinshui, "Go and help mom. The Chen family will probably be here soon. I don't think Chen Shiwen's mother is easy to get along with. Let's talk about the date today. Let's not let people find fault with her."
Gu Yousi, who was in Liang Ying's arms, wanted to close her eyes, but when she heard this, her eyes suddenly opened.
What?
Chen Shiwen? Isn't this the name of the villain Gu Yinxing in the TV series "The Lucky Stars of the 80s" that she watched, the scumbag husband who abused and cheated on his wife?
"Sister-in-law, what's there to find fault with his mother? I'm not inferior to her in any way."
Gu Yinxing combed her hair in front of the mirror and pouted unhappily.
Liang Ying said with a smile: "You are not bad, but who made Chen Shiwen a college student and worked in the Land Bureau? Think about it, although he is a little older, think about it, his family has these conditions."
This is true.
Gu Yinxing couldn't help but smile when she thought of her colleagues' words of envy.
At this time,
Gu Yousi's heart was so cold.
College student and Land Bureau, when these two conditions came out, Gu Yousi couldn't even deceive himself.
He Chunlian cooked very quickly, not to mention that there were only four dishes, a stir-fried chicken, a scrambled egg, a twice-cooked pork and a bowl of mushroom stewed chicken.
Gu Yousi thought these dishes were nothing special, but considering that grain, oil and meat had to be purchased with coupons, and the per capita income was less than 40, this table of dishes was very rich.
At least when Chen's mother and her family came in and saw these dishes on the square table in the main hall, their faces smiled brighter.
"Mother-in-law, why are you so polite and cook so many dishes?" Mother
Chen had obviously dressed up today, wearing a brand new cotton jacket and trousers, and new shoes with a red flower embroidered on them.
But when she saw He Chunlian's figure and wrinkle-free face, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"It's nothing, just a few home-cooked dishes." He Chunlian asked everyone to sit down, and gave the main seat to the matchmaker Aunt Sun.
Aunt Sun smiled and said, "It's nothing, Sister He, this is the skill of your daughter, isn't it? Sister Chen, your family married his daughter, and you will enjoy happiness in the future."
Hearing this, He Chunlian frowned.
She said calmly, "This is my son's cooking. My daughter can't cook. Besides, she is so busy in the hospital, how can she handle it?"
Gu Jinshui looked at everyone with a smile, "Yes, my sister can't do these. When she comes to your house, please be more tolerant of any inappropriate things. I only have this one sister, and I can't bear to see her suffer any grievances."
Mother Chen's face fell, "It's okay for this woman not to cook. I started cooking when I was seven or eight years old. Now that she enters our house, she must abide by our family rules."
Gu Yinxing, who was sitting nearby, had an unhappy expression on her face. She glanced at Chen Shiwen and kicked him with her foot.
Chen Shiwen said quickly: "Mom, it's okay if you can't cook. Besides, Yinxing and I both have jobs and eat in the company cafeteria..."
In the east room, Gu Yousi listened to the words coming from outside the main room, and the more she listened, the more familiar it sounded.
She was almost certain that she had really traveled through time and space in a book.
And she had traveled through time and space to become a family of villains in the book.
Although she had only been here for three days, Gu Yousi still had some feelings for Gu Yinxing, the aunt who loved her so much.
She could not bear to watch her aunt jump into the fire pit.
"Wa wow wow..." Gu Yousi cried a few times, trying to get her mother to carry her out.
Liang Ying had no idea what she was going to do, and touched her butt in confusion, "What's wrong? Why are you crying when you don't have any urine?"
"Wow, take me out quickly, I want to save my aunt from the fire pit!"
A childish voice suddenly rang in Liang Ying's mind.
Liang Ying was startled, and quickly pulled back her hand, staring at her fair and tender baby daughter.
The voice just now?
"Mom, take me out quickly, the man outside is a bastard, and my aunt can't marry him!"
The voice became clearer and clearer, and her daughter looked at her eagerly.
Liang Ying's mind was blank, and she subconsciously took the child out.
But she didn't expect that the child would stop crying as soon as she left the east room.
"Why did you take the child out?" Gu Jinshui was impatient to talk to the Chen family, and stood up to hold the child.
Liang Ying handed the child to him, her lips moving, not knowing what to say.
"It's Jinshui's daughter-in-law, then sit down and eat together."
Aunt Sun saw that the two families had some tension in their conversation just now, and hurriedly invited Liang Ying to sit down with the child. She looked at the child and praised, "This child is really good-looking, just like you and your wife."
The smiles on Gu Jinshui and others' faces became more genuine.
Chen Shiwen also hurriedly praised, "It looks like a beauty embryo, and he will definitely be a beauty like his aunt in the future."
Gu Yousi rolled his eyes.
"Don't get close to me, scumbag. No matter how beautiful my aunt is, she can't stop you from cheating on me outside."
This sentence rang out.
Not to mention Liang Ying and his wife, even Gu Yinxing was stunned.
Gu Yinxing stared at Gu Yousi in amazement.
Gu Yousi was so anxious that she wanted to speak.
But she was only eight months old and her teeth hadn't grown out yet, let alone speak.
She could only try to hint to Gu Yinxing with her eyes.
"Aunt, you really can't marry this man. He already had a wife and children in Yunnan where he worked in the countryside. He left them behind to return to the city. Not only does he not want to give you a dowry, he also plans to sell your job after marriage to pay off his debts!"
If it was the previous words, Gu Yinxing would still think that she might be hallucinating.
But when she heard about Yunnan working in the countryside, Gu Yinxing couldn't sit still anymore - Chen Shiwen worked in Yunnan for seven years before returning to the city. He is 31 years old this year. Gu Yinxing had previously asked why Chen Shiwen hadn't married, and Chen Shiwen's reason was that he didn't want to get married in the countryside.
Gu Yinxing didn't think much about it at that time. After all, city people have high standards and some people don't want to marry country people.
But she didn't expect...
Gu Yinxing's face immediately turned red with anger, and veins on her neck popped out. She was about to lose her temper.
He Chunlian held her hand, smiled and poured a glass of wine for Chen's father, mother and Chen Shiwen, "Cooking is easy. In fact, I think it's not a bad thing for our Yinxing to learn how to cook."
When Chen's mother heard this, she smiled.
Chen's father said nothing and just lowered his head to drink.
Aunt Sun hurriedly tried to warm up the atmosphere when she saw this: "That's right. In my opinion, these are just trivial matters. What's important is that the young couple live in harmony and find a good date as soon as possible so that they can have a big fat boy in the future."
When Chen Shiwen heard this, a look of joy appeared on his face and he looked at Gu Yinshui.
He Chunlian smiled and said, "Aunt Sun is right, but to be honest, I really can't bear to part with my daughter. My old daughter is the most caring. If she gets married, I will feel really bad."
"Of course. We, as mothers, have raised our children with great difficulty. Who wouldn't feel sad if a daughter gets married?"
Aunt Sun was still very tactful and said, "Besides, your old daughter is so iconic. But men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. You can't keep the daughter because she is too old. Don't worry, the Chen family is good people, and Shiwen is even more promising. They will definitely let your daughter enjoy a good life in the future."
"What a bullshit life. You'll lose your job as soon as you get married, and you have to work and serve their whole family. Chen Shiwen is also sick. He likes to abuse women!"
He Chunlian's eyes turned cold.
She held the wine glass and quietly passed a chicken drumstick to Gu Yinxing. "Enjoying life is for the future. I just want to ask how much dowry the Chen family plans to give." After
He Chunlian said this, the hall fell silent for a moment.
Chen's father glanced at Chen's mother and put down his chopsticks.
Chen's mother raised her head and said, "What era is this? We still need a dowry. Mother-in-law, we don't want to pay a dowry."
Gu Jinshui and others looked at Chen's mother.
Liang Ying looked down at the girl in Jinshui's arms in surprise, and then looked at the Chen family.
What they heard was true? !
