As soon as those people left, Gu Yanzhang sat down on the chair.
Life is like this.
Life is never simple.
What does his wife's matter matter in front of such a big thing as survival? !
A poor man like him can fill his stomach every day, guarantee himself three meals a day, guarantee himself to eat well and dress warmly, guarantee his children will not starve to death, guarantee himself to have healthy offspring, and then his descendants will have endless wealth... This is already the happiest thing in this world.
He really can't ask for more...
Gu Yanzhang is actually very clear in his heart that some people in the village, especially those bachelors who can't get married, are now laughing at him secretly. However, he knows in his heart that their laughter can only last for a while.
Because he felt that he was much better than them in every aspect!
Especially since he and his wife had 4 sons and 6 daughters, and they were all raised to adulthood. The
4 sons had married and had sons at a very early age.
Gu Yanzhang once looked around and found that he had achieved a lot in this area.
After all, he had lived a much better life than them in the past few years.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanzhang, who was originally in a very depressed mood, finally got better.
The four brothers Gu Dazhu were particularly sensitive to their father's emotions.
Every time Gu Yanzhang was in a bad mood, the brothers did not dare to go up and talk to him. When they found that their father was in a good mood, they began to chat with him.
"Dad, when can we go to grandma's house and bring mom over?"
"It won't work if there is no hostess who can take charge of the family! The sooner we bring mom over, the better it will be for our family..."
Gu Yanzhang turned his head reflexively when he heard this, and looked at his eldest son seriously, "Dazhu, if my memory is correct, I clearly remember that you told me a few days ago that the son your mother gave birth to doesn't seem to be your biological brother?"
Gu Dazhu is a person who can read people's faces.
He now understands that the father in front of him wants to treat the child as his own son. So, he took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress the slight dissatisfaction in his heart, and said: "Dad, you must have heard it wrong..."
"Even if you didn't hear it wrong, you must have misunderstood it a few days ago..." "
I don't mean to doubt that the child our mother gave birth to is not our biological brother... What I mean is that my brother and my son are almost the same age. It is well said that the eldest brother is like a father and the eldest sister is like a mother. Since he was able to be born into our family and into my mother's belly, then as the eldest brother, I have to treat him well no matter what..." When
Gu Yanzhang suddenly heard these words, he was excited and stood up from the chair with great emotion.
"Good, good! That's great!"
"Dazhu, it's great that you can realize this!"
"In that case, why not wait for a better day? Let's go to your grandmother's house this afternoon and pick up your mother..."
After saying this, Gu Yanzhang excitedly ran back to his bedroom and started to clean up some things.
He must prepare everything when he picks up his wife this time.
His wife has lived in her parents' house for so many days, and he has to return all her food, clothes, and other things.
Gu Yanzhang asked himself, he is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others.
So, Gu Yanzhang collected 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes, 30 kilograms of sweet potato flour, 40 kilograms of soybeans, 2 kilograms of brown sugar, and 20 eggs from his home.
Giving away so many things at once made Gu Dazhu, Gu Erzhu, and their wives feel distressed.
"Dad..., won't it be too conspicuous if we give away so many things at once?"
"What's the matter? Are you reluctant to give them away?" Gu Yanzhang was furious when he heard such words.
Even his mother-in-law, who was used to living in the city and had seen a lot of the world, might not take these things seriously!
What is this little bit of food?
Compared with his wife, it is not even a fraction.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but glared at his son fiercely, "Alright, stop whispering in my ear, I know what's going on!"
"You have to know that we are going to give gifts to my wife this time, and we have to meet my mother-in-law. If we bring too little, not only will the people in Chenjia Village look down on us, but the people in our village will also look down on us..."
This is a matter of a man's face, and Gu Yanzhang couldn't say too much to them.
So, after Gu Yanzhang took out a few sacks and packed the things, he told Gu Erzhu and his wife to let their small family stay at home to look after the house.
Then, he took the rest of the family and went to Chenjia Village in a mighty way.
As soon as they left, Gu Yu'an, who had been staying at home and dared not show his face, could not help but peeking out of the house.
Previously, when his son was crying and making a fuss at home, and was angry and talking about those things with the villagers, he did not dare to interrupt.
He was afraid that after he interrupted, he would get into trouble and become his son's punching bag.
Recently, he secretly took some things out of the house to help his relatives without telling his son.
To be honest, he was still very ashamed and guilty.
After all, he had not discussed this matter with his son. He was afraid that after his son knew about it, he would be furious at home and blame him as a father.
He was afraid because he could understand that if his son knew about these things, he would definitely have an opinion about him.
His son had always had a lot of opinions about him. In addition, his daughter-in-law had always been a troublemaker between them, causing the relationship between them to be at odds. So, he really didn't want his son to know...
However, some things always made him feel uncomfortable.
Whenever Gu Yu'an thought about the fact that his son was going out to bring his wife back from Old Chen's house, he felt like ants were crawling all over his body. He felt
particularly uncomfortable, unhappy, and miserable.
As he thought about it, Gu Yu'an began to scratch his ears and cheeks.
He began to wander around the house like crazy. He walked back and forth in the house.
Soon, he began to mutter unconsciously, "What a misfortune for our family, what a misfortune for our family! How could I raise such an unfilial son in my life..."
