Chapter 19
"Old seventh daughter-in-law, what do you mean by this?" In the final analysis, I still treat him as a burden and don't want to recognize this family! Gu Xiao sneered in his heart, and secretly rejoiced that he had changed into old clothes in the town and wrapped the gold he brought over in a torn bag. Recognize a person, it's that simple!
Liu dragged Gu Ming to her side and continued: "Fifth uncle, since you said that my father-in-law had a verbal agreement with you, we will not pay the bill, just pay you an heir!" This is the eldest son of my family, and he will be twelve in the next year, and adults can't catch up with him when he gets to work. You see, this age is not very old, and when you are mature, it is like your own grandson. Your legs and feet are inconvenient, such a big kid can also serve you old. What do you think? ”
Gu Xiao turned his gaze to Gu Ming, this kid has a stubborn face, his eyes are clear and clear, and his body is also hard, he is a good seedling!
"What do you say, little one?" Gu Xiao saw that the kid was sold by his stepmother, but he didn't have a superfluous expression, he just set his eyes on a corner. He followed the boy's gaze, and there stood a small, thin little girl.
Seeing that the big guy's eyes were focused on him, Gu Ming's brows furrowed slightly. He didn't answer Gu Xiao's question, but looked in Gu Qiao's direction, and said indifferently: "Dad, pass me on to the fifth grandfather, is this what you mean?" ”
After coming back from the town, Gu Qiao found that his son was not of the same mind as him, and often guarded him like a thief, as if in this family, only the stinky girl was his relative. Such an unfamiliar one, passing him out for him can be regarded as his more than ten years of nurturing grace.
Thinking of this, Gu Qiao said pretendedly: "Ming'er, even if you go out, you are still a good son of your father." Father...... I can't help it! ”
Gu Ming didn't have much hope for him, so naturally he couldn't talk about disappointment, he said lightly: "I know." But...... Dad, being adopted out is someone else's child, I want to recognize you and see if the fifth grandfather agrees. When the time comes, you can only be my 'seventh uncle', that's all! ”
Gu Qiao's mouth moved, but in the end, he didn't say anything to save him.
Gu Ming lowered her eyes and covered the loss in her eyes. When he raised his head again, there was only clarity in his eyes. He looked straight at Gu Xiao and said in a firm tone, "Fifth Grandfather, I am willing to be your heir." However, I have one condition! ”
"Oh? What conditions? A hint of interest flashed in Gu Xiao's eyes.
"Bring my sister with you! Don't worry, I can support my sister, my sister is very well-behaved and capable, and she won't trouble you. There was more eagerness in Gu Ming's voice, and his eyes looked at Gu Xiao eagerly, waiting for his answer.
After Gu Xiao entered the village, he once inquired about Gu Qiao's family. He really didn't agree with Gu Qiao and his mother-in-law's abuse of the two children in the front room. Tiger poison doesn't eat children, he really doesn't dare to ask for such an heir!
However, although there were twists and turns in the succession, he was still satisfied with the final result. This child has a lot more conscience than his father, he knows how to take care of his sister at such a young age, and he is a little man with responsibility and responsibility!
"Okay! That's it! Gu Xiao looked at the patriarch and said with a smile, "I still want to trouble the second brother, choose a good day and an auspicious day, and transfer these two children to my name." Tomorrow I'll go to town and get my two children's household registrations done! ”
The patriarch patted him on the shoulder and said, "Three days will be a good day!" Ming'er and Ye'er are both good children, I hope you treat them well. ”
"Second brother, don't worry! In the future, they will be my grandchildren, who do they hurt if I don't care? Gu Xiao laughed, and his laughter was very hearty.
Gu Ming had already run to her sister's side at this time, took her hand, and comforted her softly: "Sister, don't be afraid!" Our grandfather looks pretty good, and he shouldn't be like the black-hearted Liu, who always beats you up for bad ideas! ”
"Brother, as long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of anything!!" Gu Ye shook his brother's hand back vigorously, his voice firm and powerful. With the eyes of her two lives combined, this grandfather shouldn't be far behind!
"Fifth brother, you will live with me for a few days, and Ming'er will pick a few good laborers to repair the yard first." Gu Xiao's house in his early years, after more than 20 years of wind and rain, has long since collapsed into a ruin and cannot be inhabited.
"Thank you, second brother, you're welcome to be a younger brother!" Gu Xiao turned around and beckoned to the two little guys, and said softly, "Ming'er, Ye'er, right?" You can be here for a few more days, and when our house is repaired, grandpa will come to pick you up. ”
"Xiao Qi, I don't care what you did to them before, now the two little guys are my Gu Xiao's grandchildren, you have to take good care of them, if you are hungry and tired, be careful that I beat your mother so that you can't help it!!" As he spoke, he waved a powerful fist at Gu Qiao threateningly.
Gu Ye grinned: "Brother, I like this grandfather!" ”
She thought she had lowered her voice, but she was still heard by the other party. Gu Xiao turned around and squeezed his eyes at the little girl, and said with a smile: "Grandpa likes you too!" Remember, these days you can eat hard and eat yourself fatter. This is what his seven boys owe to Lao Tzu!! ”
The next day, Gu Xiao borrowed the donkey from the village chief's family and rode to the town to change the household registration of the brother and sister.
Before leaving, Gu Ye quietly found this newly baked grandfather, and sent the Ganoderma lucidum he picked at the risk of death to him: "Grandpa, my brother said that although it doesn't cost money to build a house, although it doesn't cost money to build a house, people come to help our family to take care of the food." This reishi mushroom was picked by accident by my brother and I. You take it to town and get some silver and come back. ”
Although they only met for a few moments, this grandfather left a bold and open-minded impression on her, and her future life will definitely not be worse than when she was in the Gu family. However, in order to brush up her brother's favor in front of her grandfather, she is willing to contribute this little Lingzhi.
Gu Xiao's gaze moved from the purple lingzhi half the size of a palm to the thin and thin little girl in front of him, his eyes were full of love and tenderness. He smiled slightly, rubbed his rough big hand lightly on Xiao Nizi's head, and said:
"You are so poor that you can't even eat! Rest assured! I can still get the money to build a house with your grandfather. You can keep this Ganoderma lucidum first, and maybe it will be useful later! ”
"That'...... You help me sell it, buy more white rice and white noodles and come back, I can't eat coarse grains because I have a weak stomach. Gu Ye said as she secretly peeked into his expression.
Gu Xiao's face was as usual, and the smile on his face did not decrease: "If you let you take it, you will put it away, can grandpa still support you two little guys?" Don't look at Lao Tzu's lame leg, but his hunting ability has not diminished at all. Let me tell you, your Uncle Zhang's hunting skills were still learned from Lao Tzu! Okay, young man, don't worry so much, go back and rest. ”
Watching Gu Xiao turn over and get on the horse and skillfully urge the horse away, Gu Ye showed a heartfelt smile on his face. It seems that this grandfather is not as down-and-out as he appears. I don't know if Gu Qiao will regret it when he learns the truth in the future?
The brothers and sisters still went up the mountain to chop firewood, but the firewood they cut back, they no longer carried it to the Gu family, but stored it at the house of the ninth uncle and nine aunts next door. The rabbits and pheasants picked up in the trap are no longer hidden, and they all ask Aunt Jiu to help clean them up and pickle them with salt, and when they build a house, they will add food to the people who come to help.
Liu saw Gu Ming carrying the pheasant next door and wanted to tear open his throat and scold, but the ulceration on his tongue and throat was not yet healed, and he sweated in pain as soon as he opened his mouth, so he could only slam the table and hit the bench to express his dissatisfaction.
When his son went out, Gu Qiao felt uncomfortable, and shouted when he saw this: "You can stop!" How many days can the child stay at home? If you hadn't been looking for trouble all day long, which chilled the children's hearts, would they have good things and not take them home? ”
"Gu Qiao, you wretched! What he has in his body is your Gu Laoqi's blood, what happened to you giving birth to him and raising him, and eating his chickens?! This white-eyed wolf that can't be raised! Liu cursed vaguely.
Gu Qiao had the best face, and when she heard her scold herself, her temper exploded. He pulled Liu's hair and pulled it out like a dead dog. pulled into the yard and beat her with a fat face: "Think I'm a wreck? You can't find a nest!! You are as fat as a pig and as ugly as no one, and I was blind to marry you in the first place! ”
Liu was beaten and begged for mercy. Xiao Zhuang in the house heard the movement and ran out, and was so frightened that he cried. Da Zhuang simply hid in the house and did not come out.
Gu Qiao was tired, gasped heavily, and said, "If you hadn't proposed to pass Ming'er out, wouldn't all the prey he has hit now be ours." He also scolded him for being a white-eyed wolf, I think you are a stupid pig! If you want to eat pheasant, let your good son go and call you, and don't twitter in front of Lao Tzu!! ”
Liu's face was swollen and the corners of his mouth were bleeding. She sat on the ground and screamed "oops, oops". Gu Qiao was even more irritable in his heart, kicked her hard, and walked out of the house.
In the evening, the brother and sister came to the entrance of the village, and looked along the mountain road, and a tall figure riding a donkey appeared in the sight of the two in the glow. Gu Ming took her sister's hand and greeted her.
"Fifth Grandpa, you're back!" Gu Ming greeted a little rustily.
"Stinky boy, still called Fifth Grandpa? You are now my Gu Xiao's grandson!! Gu Xiao tapped the little boy's forehead and grinned. He saw the cautious appearance of the two children. After all, they don't know each other. However, I believe that after a few days, I will gradually get used to it. Not only should the children get acquainted with him, but he also had to gradually adapt to the days of dragging his family.
"Grandpa......" Gu Ming touched his head and laughed twice.
Gu Ye gently pulled his brother's clothes, and Gu Ming immediately remembered: "Grandpa, you haven't had dinner, have you?" This half pheasant will serve you dinner. ”
Gu Ye covered his face: Brother, where is your usual cleverness? How did you get hard and dry when you spoke? Grandpa, he doesn't eat people!
