When Lu's mother came down, she saw someone stealing something from the car, and she shouted hurriedly: "Don't move, don't move, there are a lot of money in the pocket, if it is lost, whose responsibility will it be?"
Chang Xia was so scared when she heard this that she retracted her hand. She turned around and saw an old lady coming down from upstairs. She smiled and said, "Oh, Auntie, you must be Captain Gu's mother. This is your first time here. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."
"Haha, I'm the mother-in-law of your Captain Gu, but I just got here and I don't know anything, so I'll have to trouble you in the future." Mother Lu stood there and chatted for a few words, then reached out to pick up the remaining things from the car and said, "Let's talk another day, I have a lot of things to pack now that I'm here."
"Okay, Auntie, you pack up first. We'll visit you tomorrow." Guo Yan greeted her with a smile, and after watching her go upstairs, she turned around and went back to her room to continue sleeping.
"Hey, Mrs. Guo, Captain Gu's family is really interesting. They didn't take their biological parents in, but instead took their mother-in-law in. I've never heard of this before." Chang Xia grabbed the person who was about to leave and gossiped.
"Never heard of it? Then why don't you go to his house and ask him. Tell me how I would know." Guo Yan pulled his arm out of Chang Xia's hand and glanced at her.
"Mrs. Guo, look at what you said. I was just chatting with you." Seeing her like this, Chang Xia didn't know what she said wrong, so she had to finish her words and turned back home.
Mother Lu went upstairs, put the things on the ground and said, "This neighbor downstairs has some bad hands and feet."
"What's wrong, mother?" Gu Mingze asked in confusion after hearing this.
"I just went downstairs to get something, and I saw a woman reaching into the car to grab something." Mother Lu thought that after she was done with her work, she would have to talk to her daughter about how to get along with neighbors, otherwise after she left, she would be taken advantage of every day.
"Then we just need to be more careful in the future. There are some advantages to having fewer people now. When there are more people in the future, there will be all kinds of people." Gu Mingze thought of the previous army. It was really lively there. Every day, either this family quarreled or that family fought over trivial matters.
Now that there are few people and it is quiet, my wife can take good care of her health. When there are more people in the future and it is noisy every day, it will be impossible to have a good rest.
"Mingze is right. There are many things to do when there are many people. Just like our team, we quarrel for a long time every day over trivial matters. It gives me a headache just thinking about it." Mother Lu rarely went to chat with those old ladies under the big tree.
Instead of gossiping about other people, you might as well tidy up your home to avoid a messy and unpleasant look every day.
"Mom, our food is all in the big jar in your house. I hung the bacon in the kitchen. We bought so much food today, enough to last for a few days." Gu Mingze cleaned up the house and was about to go out to follow his father-in-law and the others as they cleaned up.
"Okay, we all know. Go and get busy. We don't need you here." Father and Mother Lu also knew that they would have to start working when their son-in-law came back, so they didn't let anyone else help them. Go and get down to business.
"Then Dad and Mom, I'll be busy now. You can make some food later. If I don't come back in the evening, you don't have to wait for me." After saying this, Gu Mingze put down the things in his hands, opened the door and went downstairs
"This house is really nice. We have to clean it up." Mother Lu looked around after her son-in-law left, and then nodded.
"Well, pack it up well. When the time comes, put a rope here and hang clothes in the house when it rains or is cloudy. When the baby is born, there will also be a place to hang the diaper." Father Lu packed up the last few things in his hand and pointed to the place near the window.
Mother Lu nodded, and as she watched her daughter fall asleep at the door, she asked the old man to speak more quietly, and then the two of them began to tinker with various things.
After arriving at the new home, the few people here began to perform their respective duties and do what they were supposed to do.
On the other side, in the Ma family brigade, at the Gu family, after work at noon, Lin Dacui and Old Man Gu finished their meal and sat in the main room, looking out the door with worried looks on their faces.
"Do you think that the fourth brother will really ignore us?" Lin Dacui has been tossing and turning in the past two nights and can't sleep, fearing that the fourth brother will really ignore them.
"No, if he dares to ignore us, I will go to his army to find him." Old Man Gu tapped the pipe in his hand and said with a sullen face.
"Hey, didn't the fourth brother say that he would give us pension money on time in the future? What's the point of you looking for him?" Lin Dacui felt very regretful now. If she had known earlier, she would not have been so impulsive and made things difficult for the fourth brother's wife.
If you want to know why she became like this, it was because the eldest and third daughters-in-law always whispered in her ears: saying that the fourth daughter-in-law had been married for several days and had not even left the house and had not done any work, and that she simply did not take her mother-in-law seriously.
This made her, as a mother-in-law, feel very embarrassed. She thought that when the fourth son's wife came back, she would not let her go with the army again. She let her work at home every day, and would let her return to the army after she had adjusted her temper.
But who could have thought that the fourth son's wife was so pretentious, and even got sick while pregnant. Didn't she just pull her because she was hot-headed? As for complaining of stomachache and going to the hospital, the fourth son was so upset that he became estranged from them.
"You too, I asked you to pick up the fourth son's wife, but I didn't ask you to cause trouble. But you pushed your mother-in-law and sent the fourth son's wife to the hospital. Anyone would be angry if this happened to them." When Old Man Gu heard what his wife said, he glared at her and said
"Alright, alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I'll ask the boss to go to the next village and have a look." Lin Dacui heard the old man scolding her again, waved her hand, stood up and walked out, shouting:
"Boss, Boss, please come out. I have something to talk to you about."
"What's the matter, mom? It's noon now and I'm about to fall asleep. I have to go to work soon. Can't you let me rest for a while?" Gu Mingtao felt that he had just fallen asleep when he heard his mother's roar. He walked out with an impatient look on his face and asked
"Go to the Dongfeng Brigade next door and see what Lao Si and the others are doing. Why haven't they come back in these days?" Lin Dacui ignored Lao Da's impatience and directly ordered.
"Oh my god, you want me to go to the next brigade in the hot sun at noon? What are you thinking?" Gu Mingtao looked up at the dazzling sun and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, then you can go after work in the evening." Lin Dacui also felt that it was not a good idea to let her eldest son go to the next brigade at noon, so she nodded and told him to go in the evening.
"Mom, if you ask me, you shouldn't have done that in the first place. Otherwise, why would you be like this now?" Gu Mingtao said, and without waiting for his mother to say anything, he turned around and went back to the house.
"Look at you, look at you. If I had known you would be like this, I would have given you away directly..."
