Chapter 9 The Second Room

Let's say that the second couple returned to the room, and He Shi checked that there was no one outside the door and closed the door. Seeing that the two sons were still sleeping soundly on the kang, they kissed them twice, and saw Gu Chengyi lying on the edge of the kang with his clothes together.

Recalling the incident in the main house just now, He still has palpitations, and looked at Gu Chengyi carefully, seeing that he didn't speak, and was afraid that he would blame her for what happened just now.

"Baby's father, you said that the father knows the partiality, usually there are always a few small ones, and now he has another one, I see, he is even more a baby. This mother-in-law fell by herself, and she relied on me, and her family is not one of those poor people in the village who can't open the pot, why do you have to be so provincial? I can't even eat a full meal, I see that the world is busy, and I drink the wild vegetable gnocchi soup at the meal, and people will be hungry. If you want me to say, this is reluctant for us to eat, those few are still young, my mother opens a small stove for them every day, just to let you and the eldest brothers treat them as cattle and horses! ”

He waited for a while, and when he saw that Gu Chengyi had not made a sound until now, he complained, and he was not convinced by the punishment just now.

"Okay, there's always your fault in this matter, if you don't be greedy, why are there so many things? Besides, you can eat it yourself, and give it back to the eldest girl, this one piece is one less piece, even if you didn't see it at the time, won't you find that there are fewer eggs later? This time, my father is on fire, I pleaded with you, don't make trouble lately. Otherwise, next time, I won't care about you. Gu Lao Er replied impatiently, he was tired enough to work on weekdays, and he had to take care of these trivial matters when he came back.

"Didn't I think I'd steal food so that the big girl would see it and turn around to sue? Besides, give her a bite to taste, when the time comes, it will be less, won't it be said that the big girl eats? Who knew the mother would come in at that time? He still feels aggrieved in his heart, the third and fourth eggs can be eaten, even Gu Wan's broken girl can be eaten, and she can't eat it if she is too raw?

I only get a little meat during the New Year's holidays, and I forget what the eggs taste like, and then I think about it, it's not right!

"What? I gave birth to two big fat boys to your old Gu family, and there is no merit and hard work, right? Can you really divorce me? No way. Let me tell you Gu Chengyi, don't be stupid, do you think you can find a young and beautiful person without me? I'm afraid that your good father won't even find you a daughter-in-law when the time comes. ”

He was so angry that he thought that Gu Chengyi could really be ruthless and didn't want her, and his heart was miserable.

"I'm not saying it, how can I not want you? This time, my mother suffered a loss, and she had to make up for it? Do it, you ah, I won't be able to save you then. Gu Chengyi was also a little irritable, he had done enough work in the field in the past few days, and he couldn't get up, he had to eat or not, he didn't want to drink, and he didn't have a good face at this time.

He Shi was really a little impatient to see Gu Chengyi, and he didn't dare to say more, but there was one more thing in his heart, and he must ask clearly.

"Baby, his father, did you see the jade pendant that the monk gave to his father yesterday? Is that jade worth anything? We haven't seen much money at the end of the year, so it would be nice if we could exchange it for silver. ”

"I don't understand whether it's good or bad, but it's not a bargain, it's better than what Master Zhao wears in the village."

"What? Why did you give this rented thing to our father? This is going to be sent, maybe the jade can be exchanged for some copper coins! "He Shi's eyes seem to be full of copper coins, this is going to be issued. As for why it was copper coins and not silver, I didn't dare to think about it. After living for so many years, I have never had silver, and the most I have seen is copper plates.

Gu Chengyi glanced at He, who was daydreaming.

"Don't think about it, that jade is a good jade, but it's a pity that the jade is broken, there are a few cracks on it, and there is only half a piece, can it be valuable?" Speaking of this, Gu Chengyi also regretted it. "Huh? I said, if it's really worth the old nose money, will the monk give it to Dad? Ay! I didn't look at the jade, you see that the jade is broken, can it still be valuable? He beat his chest and paused, eager to sell the jade immediately.

"Don't think about the jade, the jade is the fifth, the master wants to be a monk, you went to the stove and didn't see it, the mother has not been born yet, but he knows that the mother is going to give birth to a son, and said that the fifth child will be able to glorify the ancestors in the future, what else did he say, I didn't understand, anyway, that's what it means. The master can say, the jade is the fifth child, and it was originally the fifth child, saying that the thing is returned to the original owner, you want to sell the jade, the father is definitely not allowed, you don't want to be a demon if you have nothing to do. Gu Chengyi glanced at He Shi warningly, the jade was broken, and it was not very valuable if he thought about it, if he proposed to sell it, he couldn't sell it for money, not to mention, it would make his father and mother angry.

"And what's going on? I don't know if it's true or not, his father, this can't be someone my mother found to deceive us, right? Glory to the ancestors? He looked incredulous.

"What are you talking about? Will my mother know that she gave birth to a baby today? If the fifth brother can really make a difference in the future, we can always get the light, right? ”

Gu Chengyi was also skeptical, how much profit can a farmer boy? Not a farmer in the field? But thinking that the fifth brother is really developed, he will never forget to be a brother.

"Come on, huh? He's a little baby now, are you really pointing at him? If you have that effort, you might as well think about how you can earn a few more copper plates! The money you spent last time you went to the town to work was given to your parents, so why didn't you keep a few more? Just five of them? ”

Seeing that the jade pendant couldn't be exchanged for money, He Shi thought of Gu Chengyi's trip to the town to work for a short time a few days ago. I carried the goods on the riverside wharf for half a month, and when I came back, I handed them all in, and I was busy in the field a few days ago, Gu Chengyi fell asleep after eating, and I didn't have time to ask.

"The work of carrying the goods is fifteen wen a day, and it has been carried for exactly half a month, and there are a number of them, and the five copper plates are still the shopkeeper of Zhou to see me and my eldest brother working sincerely, and the extra reward is given, otherwise there will be no five wen left, and there will be a lot of five wen, what's the matter? If you are too little, I will give it to my father. Gu Chengyi said and was about to get up in a huff.

In fact, this money is still because the eldest brother works hard, and the shopkeeper Zhou is rewarded. He works in general, although he is not lazy, but he will not work hard, he is honest and honest, and the shopkeeper Zhou is satisfied, so he rewarded him again. However, Gu Chengyi won't say it, men always have a good face, and they don't want to let their mother-in-law know that it is up to the eldest brother to get the reward. Seeing that she was still too little at this time, and she would have not had a penny, she just poked the sore spot for He's family, and she became angry.

"Aren't I just talking? What's too little? I know that you work hard, yesterday I took two nests in the stove room, and almost let my sister-in-law see it, this hard work, and I can't eat enough, and people can't collapse? You eat one, give the two babies one. He Shi actually asked a lot, she also knew that the shopkeeper Zhou who went to the dock to carry the work was an old acquaintance of her father-in-law, how many days she had been doing it, how many copper plates she had gotten, and her father-in-law knew everything, and she couldn't hide it privately. I thought it was the private work of the baby's father!

Gu Chengyi was originally on fire in his heart, but when he saw the nest in He's hand, the anger disappeared, and he was still thinking about him in the end.

He also feels sorry for the man in her family, a woman in this world still has to rely on a man to live, not to mention that there are two babies in the family, it is not easy to grow up.

"Rest for a while, the work in the field is not finished yet, and you will soon go down to the field." He handed one of the nests in his hand to Gu Chengyi, turned around and put the other on the table next to the kang, covered it with a bowl, and waited for the baby to wake up and eat it separately.

Seeing Gu Chengyi rest, He thought about it and walked to the corner of the room. Facing the holes in the wall, count the eighth piece from the left, pick out a loose adobe brick, and take out the contents inside. This is a string of copper coins, about more than a hundred, the copper plates are counted, the corners of the mouth can not stop, after counting and touching those copper plates, then reluctantly put into the hole in the wall, take the adobe bricks and plug them, see that there is no difference with the earthen wall next to it before going out with confidence.
