Chapter 205 Son
In the first year of household contract production, the members of the production team in Shanghe Village put in all their strength, and their attitude towards their own family was completely different from the previous attitude towards the public.
In the past, Gu Jianguo was in a hurry to rush, and the double grab would last for a month and a half.
But this year is good, it has only been more than half a month, and the young and strong families have finished collecting, and the slow ones have come to an end in less than a month.
However, there is a problem. In the past, the grain was collected by the public. When the millet was sunned, everyone would discuss it without arguing, but now it is no longer the case. Everyone is afraid of losing money.
Gu Jianguo had to run around to coordinate the relationship between the members. If someone quarreled violently, he had to put on a bad face, and directly said that if the quarrel continued, no one should be exposed, and if they went to the town to plead guilty together, it would be considered oppressive. down.
Gu Mingdong's family doesn't have this trouble.
They have many families, and all of them are good at work, and they are the first ones in the production team to finish the work.
Taking advantage of the sunny day, their family finished drying the millet before everyone else. The sisters of the Gu family and Gu Yun watched the rice. Gu Mingdong took his younger brother to Uncle Gu's house to help.
Turning the shaft in a circle, several people were all tanned.
Waiting for the sun-dried rice to be piled into the warehouse, looking at the full warehouse, Gu Mingnan couldn't help sighing: "I'd better do it for myself, these days I have endless energy."
Gu Mingdong suggested with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard these days, second child, you carry a bag to remove the shells, and let's cook new rice to eat."
Gu Mingnan was taken aback by these words: "Eat now?"
Logically speaking, they use the new rice to pay the public grain first, and pile up the leftovers after the handover, and eat the old grain left over from last year first, and some people even sell the new rice for the old grain, although the taste is not good, But Chen Liang is cheap.
Gu Mingdong said, "Our family is not short of that money."
Thinking about it, Gu Mingnan immediately became happy, picked up a bag and walked out.
"Second Uncle, I'll go with you." Gu Liangxing also followed to help.
"Xiaoxi, go and call Xiaoru and the others to come over, let's cook new rice." Gu Mingdong confessed.
Gu Mingxi responded crisply.
Since he wants to eat new rice, the side dishes can't be casual. Gu Mingbei took out the pork ribs with bacon that he bought before. The pork ribs were stewed with lotus root, and the bacon was fried together with summer bamboo shoots.
Coupled with a few fashionable vegetables, the table is full.
The big round table comes in handy again, and the whole family can sit down.
In the past, when they saw this table full of good dishes, everyone would have greeted the meat dishes first, but on this day, their attention was all on the rice bowls.
The rice that has just been hit from the ground, after drying and shelling, the milky white rice grains have a sense of luster, and when the lid is opened after cooking, there is a faint rice fragrance.
Gu Mingdong lowered his head and took a sip, only to feel that the taste was strong, leaving a fragrance on his lips and teeth.
"Delicious!" Gu Liangxing couldn't help shouting.
Gu Liangchen also said: "I didn't expect rice to be so fragrant."
Before, they only knew that rice was delicious, much better than sweet potato rice, but for the first time, they thought this rice was amazing.
Gu Mingnan nodded as he ate: "From now on, we will keep all the new rice for our own consumption, and take out the old grain and sell it to pay the agricultural tax. I will make up for it if it is not enough."
Qian Xiaoru, who was sitting next to him, didn't change his face when he heard this, but he also said: "It's really delicious, adding a little gravy to the rice will make it even more delicious."
Beside her, Gu Liangyang and Gu Liangyue were already eating so much that they didn't even look up.
The rice in the iron pot was eaten slowly by the Gu family, and the final rice crust was also delicious, burnt and crispy, with a rice fragrance when eaten dry, and it was even more delicious when sprinkled with a little salt.
While eating, Gu Liangyang asked, "Dad, why is the rice at uncle's house so delicious? Why don't you cook it better?"
Gu Mingnan laughed: "Then you can be a son to uncle, and you can eat every day if you stay here."
Gu Liangyang hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, I will be uncle's third son from now on."
At the end, he called: "Dad, I will call you Second Uncle from now on."
Qian Xiaoru's face turned dark, Gu Mingnan didn't expect his son to be so "righteous and destroy relatives", and quickly said: "Little heartless, I cheated you away after a meal."
Gu Liangyang said, "Dad, didn't you give me to my uncle to be my son? Anyway, my uncle's surname is Gu, so I don't need to change my name. It doesn't matter if I'm from my own family."
The people at the table were amused and laughed.
Gu Liangchen picked up his little cousin. Gu Liangyang was not very old, but he was not light, and he was extraordinarily strong.
"Ayang, you are late, we have already occupied the hole of uncle's son, and there is no place for you."
"Yeah, if you want to be my father and son, you have to beat us both first." Gu Liangxing patted his chest deliberately.
The children were very self-aware, looked at their muscles, and then at their own little arms and legs, and gave up this idea.
Gu Liangyang had a sad face, tilted his head and asked, "Then can I still come to eat?"
Gu Mingdong smiled and said, "You can come anytime you want to eat."
By the way, teach my younger brother: "Don't indoctrinate your son with messy thoughts, children will take it seriously."
Gu Mingnan rubbed his nose, and didn't dare to speak even after being scolded. He didn't dare to say that he often yelled at home that his son was the eldest brother's son, and his son had heard a lot, so he probably thought the same in his heart.
After eating, Gu Liangxing went to the kitchen and came out with two big watermelons in his hand.
With a click, the scent of watermelon wafted away.
My stomach was already full, but now I feel like I can have another piece.
Gu Liangyang took his own piece and didn't rush to eat it, but instead asked: "Mom, can I go out to play?"
"Go, don't run far away, don't go to the river." The children in the country are freed, and Qian Xiaoru told him to run away after a few words.
Gu Liangyang held the watermelon in both hands and ran out.
The sun has set now, and the weather has cooled down a lot. The riverside is the most lively place, and many children are tossing around with their buttocks naked.
Gu Liangyang, who owns a piece of watermelon, is like driving a Rolls Royce around the street, quickly attracting the attention of many children.
Gu Liangyang swept his eyes and walked towards his friends: "I brought watermelon, let's share it together."
"I brought cantaloupe."
"I brought cucumbers."
"I brought tomatoes."
There was another child with flushed cheeks, lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't bring anything, and my mother won't let me take it."
Gu Liangyang didn't care either: "It's okay, let's each take one less bite, so you can eat."
No need for a knife, no matter how many children there are, they will quickly divide a large piece of watermelon into five small pieces.
After one sip, the children all narrowed their eyes: "It's so sweet."
"No wonder my dad said that your uncle is the best at farming. The rice you plant has a good harvest, and the watermelon you plant is also sweet."
Gu Liangyang immediately said proudly: "Yes, my uncle is amazing, he can do everything."
After finishing speaking, he sighed: "Just now my dad said that he would give me to my uncle as his son, but unfortunately he went back on his word later, hey."
"Really, if your uncle wants a son, I can be his son too."
They are all from the same production team, and the children all know that Gu Mingdong looks fierce, but he is actually good to the children, even if strange children come to his house, his house can always entertain melons, jujubes and so on.
Not to mention that during the holidays, their family is willing to display all the sweets and snacks.
"Aren't you afraid that your father will beat you?" Gu Liangyang asked.
"My dad dislikes the fact that there are too many sons in the family. He always said that he would give me to someone else as a son, and my mother said the same." The person who spoke was from Li Tiezhu's family. Their family had three sons in a row, and this is the youngest. one.
Gu Liangyang was not very happy about someone else being his uncle's son, he hesitated for a while, and said: "Then you have to win Brother A Xing and Brother A Chen first, they said, if you can't win, you can't do it."
Upon hearing this, the children were immediately disappointed.
"The two of them are invincible in the whole village. Where can we fight?"
When the twins were five years old, they were able to grab and beat their older children, not to mention that they grew up later. Even though they are more restrained after going to school now, the production team still circulates their legends.
The legendary twins are sitting in a row at the door eating watermelon.
It is a kind of enjoyment to eat watermelon soaked in well water in summer.
Gu Liangchen was eating happily when he heard a popping sound next to him. When he looked up, his brother was spraying watermelon seeds.
"Ah Chen, come together." Gu Liangxing not only did this by himself, but also invited his younger brother to play together.
"Childish." Gu Liangchen refused.
But Gu Liangxing didn't let him go: "Who is naive, I am older than you by a full hour, six 10 minutes, 3600 seconds!"
"Sakaizakai, is it hot or not?" Gu Liangchen struggled.
"Whether you play or not, I won't let you go if you don't play."
"Can't I play?" Gu Liangchen was forced to play with him for a while, but Gu Yun was pulled over to be the referee, because only she was the referee, and Gu Liangxing would not play tricks.
So Gu Mingdong ate the watermelon while admiring the accuracy of the two sons launching the watermelon seeds.
As for Gu Mingnan, he didn't need anyone to invite him, he had already joined in, and he said that he would definitely get No.1.
Compared with men, girls eat watermelon more politely.
Gu Mingxi took out a big soup pot, cut the watermelon into pieces and put them in it. Several people ate them with forks and talked around the table.
Hearing the commotion outside, Gu Mingxi couldn't help saying: "A group of childish ghosts."
"Second sister-in-law, you are the only one who can stand my second brother."
Qian Xiaoru wiped her daughter's saliva to prevent her from eating all over her body, and said with a smile, "How nice, I just like that Brother Anang is always so energetic and full of vigor."
Gu Mingxi shuddered, and gave Gu Mingbei a disgusting look.
Gu Mingbei laughed: "I also think it's pretty good. The relationship between the second brother and the second sister-in-law is so good. Let alone Shanghe Village, it's rare to see a husband and wife relationship as good as them outside."
"The main reason is that Brother Anang is willing to let me go." Qian Xiaoru said so.
After finishing speaking, she lowered her voice and asked, "Xiaoxi, Xiaobei, you two are studying in Beijing. Did you meet Meng Lang in college?"
"Second sister-in-law..." Gu Mingbei stammered, his cheeks flushed slightly.
Qian Xiaoru knew something was up at a glance.
She looked out and said, "Second sister-in-law is not opposed to your dating, but we have to be sure when we find a partner. Your second brother usually looks heartless, but he is a responsible person, and it is very good for me." .”
"Both of you are in college now, so you can't be fooled away casually. Let me tell you, some men know how to lie to little girls with rhetoric, but they don't have anything."
Gu Mingxi was not ashamed, and said directly: "I am busy reading all day long, so I don't have the heart to talk to someone."
"You guys are not thinking, could it be that the male students around you are also not thinking?" Qian Xiaoru asked.
It's not that her mother-in-law is selling melons and boasting, but that everyone in her husband's family is tall and handsome, and the women are beautiful and charming. Whether it's Gu Mingxi or Gu Mingbei, they all look good.
Qian Xiaoru is a woman herself, but she still thinks the two sisters-in-law are good-looking, let alone those men, how can she not be moved by seeing them.
Gu Mingxi just curled his lips, disapproving: "There are, I don't even look down on them."
Gu Mingbei's cheeks were flushed, and he lowered his head in shame.
Qian Xiaoru looked at her, feeling a little worried in her heart, and said, "If you don't like her, hurry up and say no. You can't procrastinate, or you won't know what to say after a long time."
"Although it is a new era, it is women who suffer in this matter."
Because the aunts and sisters-in-law have a good relationship, Qian Xiaoru is sincerely planning for the two sister-in-laws, and even said: "Before there was a man in our school, an educated youth in his early thirties, who said he was not married to pursue a female classmate. Guess what, after three months of school, his wife from the country brought one, held one, and came to school with one in her belly."
"Fortunately, this female classmate was vigilant and didn't let him take advantage of her. Otherwise, where would she go to reason?"
Gu Mingbei was surprised: "There are such shameless people? Can such people go to college?"
"Who knows how he passed the exam. Anyway, the school finally came forward to appease his wife, but they didn't say what to do in the end. Anyway, they didn't agree to divorce."
Qian Xiaoru lowered her voice, and said: "You don't know, there are a lot of bad men out there. There is a man in our class who is ugly. Writing love letters to female classmates everywhere."
"He even wrote to me."
These words surprised the two sisters: "What?"
"Shhhhhh, keep your voice down, don't let your second brother hear it." Qian Xiaoru lowered her voice, "If he hears it, he must chase him to the school and beat him hard."
Gu Mingxi became anxious: "Second sister-in-law, he is harassing you, so let's forget it?"
Qian Xiaoru snorted coldly and said: "Everyone in the class knows that I have a husband and children, but he was just too affectionate. At that time, I was also angry, so I united with a few other female students who received love letters, and went directly to the Academic Affairs Office to sue him. gone."
Thinking of the man's embarrassment, Qian Xiaoru smiled and said, "Now he has been punished behind his back, and he doesn't dare to mess around anymore. I have done a good deed to prevent innocent female classmates from being deceived."
Gu Mingxi clapped his hands and said, "Second sister-in-law, you are too powerful."
At this time, Gu Mingnan who was outside asked, "Why is my wife so good?"
"It's none of your business, second child, compare yourself well, don't let your nephew compare you down." Seeing Qian Xiaoru winking at her, Gu Mingxi said hastily.
When Gu Mingnan heard it, he immediately yelled: "How is it possible, today I want to let you all see what is called ginger or old spicy."
After dismissing the second brother, Gu Mingxi chased after him and asked, "Second sister-in-law, please explain carefully."
Qian Xiaoru said it vividly, obviously, she was also very proud of the time when the female classmate teamed up to tear up the love letter boy.
"The matter got serious, and the Academic Affairs Office found out after an investigation that not only the first five female students in our class, but he also sent love letters to female students in other classes, and even other departments. There were thirteen of them in total. Octopus Not as good as him."
She took this matter to educate her two sister-in-laws: "So you have to keep your eyes open in school. Those who are old enough to say they are not married, and those who just say they don't practice writing love letters, have to be careful."
It cannot be said that such people are all bad people, but it is always right to have an extra heart.
The Gu family sisters nodded repeatedly, and Gu Mingxi even said: "Actually, I don't plan to talk to someone now. Books are much more reliable than men."
These words made Qian Xiaoru a little amused: "Then you can't stay married forever."
"Your university is a first-class university in the country, and those who can be admitted are among the best. If you are suitable in all aspects, you can also consider it."
"I'm not saying this to scare you, it's just that Beijing is far away from home, you two are not deeply involved in the world, and you don't have elders watching by your side, don't be fooled by others."
After finishing speaking, she still suppressed her voice and said: "Especially if you really have a crush, it's okay to kiss your little mouth with your little hands, but you must not skip the last step, otherwise the girls will suffer."
This time it wasn't just Gu Mingbei, Gu Mingxi's cheeks were also red: "Second Sister-in-law, what are you talking about!"
"I'm telling the truth. They are all young men and women. It's normal for a gun to go off, but this is a fire line. It crosses the man's ass and walks away, leaving the girl's family unlucky."
"Not to mention the present, this kind of thing has happened a lot throughout the ages, especially when people are killed. Unless the man is willing to take responsibility, otherwise the woman will pay the price."
After finishing speaking, she also praised her husband: "Your second brother did a good job. Back then when we were dating, he never crossed the line and never made things difficult for me."
At this moment, she had forgotten that at the beginning, because Gu Mingnan was too disciplined, she once suspected that the other party didn't like her.
Gu Mingxi couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Second sister-in-law, you think too much, the man who dares to take advantage of me in this world hasn't been born yet."
The two looked at Gu Mingbei at the same time.
Qian Xiaoru looked like someone who came here: "Xiaobei, you have a thin skin, remember to tell Xiaoxi when something happens, and ask her to help with ideas."
Gu Mingbei blushed and said angrily: "Second sister-in-law, third sister, I... I'm not stupid."
"Hey, sometimes a girl will be stupid if she likes a guy." Qian Xiaoru sighed.
Gu Mingxi said that he couldn't understand.
Gu Mingbei lowered his head, suddenly thought of something, and looked towards the twins outside.
"What's wrong?" Gu Mingxi followed her gaze.
Gu Mingbei smiled and concealed it: "I just think that our Xing and Achen are good boys."
Gu Mingxi also laughed when he heard that: "That's not true. If they dare to start a mess and give up in the future, the elder brother will not be the first to spare them, and his leg will be broken directly."
Qian Xiaoru also laughed out loud, and she couldn't help saying, "Actually, sometimes I think big brother is really weird."
"What's so strange?" Gu Mingbei asked.
Qian Xiaoru snapped her fingers and said, "Look, when we got married, it was the elder brother who insisted on building a new house and living separately. When we got married and had children, it was the elder brother who insisted on keeping Anan busy."
"Especially when I was in confinement, even my mother said that she could help, and there was no need for Anan to intervene in the work, and my eldest brother let Anan do it."
After finishing speaking, Qian Xiaoru suppressed her voice and said: "Look at the meal now, Anan is used to feeding the children, and I can eat with peace of mind."
As soon as these words were said, the three of them sighed in unison.
From childhood to adulthood, it is common for men to sit at one table and women with their children to sit at the other table.
A table is drinking and talking over there, and the women have to be responsible for cooking and cooking, and also have to feed and watch the children, and there is no time to rest when they are busy.
But I don't know when it started, but such a picture never appeared in their house again.
If they are too busy, the eldest brother and the second brother will naturally help them.
The same goes for Ah Xing and Ah Chen. He is a child who has not yet grown up, and he is very skilled in taking children to eat.
Qian Xiaoru said again: "If there is no big brother to rush, Brother Anang may be good to me, but definitely not as good as now."
Gu Mingbei chuckled: "Second sister-in-law, have you finally discovered the shortcomings of our second brother?"
"I'm telling the truth, not just Anan, but most men in the world feel that these things are naturally for women."
Qian Xiaoru smiled and said, "That's why the three of us were whispering to each other. My mother would have to blame me if she heard this."
Gu Mingbei also said: "Probably it has always been like this."
On the contrary, Gu Mingxi snorted coldly: "That's why everyone was wrong before. The child was born to two people. Why should a woman take care of it? I don't like those machismos."
"So it's not that big brother is strange, it's that the world is strange."
Hearing this, Qian Xiaoru and Gu Mingbei were speechless for a while.
At this moment, Gu Mingnan's voice came from outside: "Brother, are you going to Shanghai?"
The three girls did not continue chatting, but looked outside one after another.
Gu Mingdong had already finished eating the watermelon, nodded and said, "Leave in two days."
"No, why are you going to Shanghai all of a sudden?" Gu Mingnan asked strangely.
"I heard Nanshan and the others mention it before, and I suddenly became interested, and I planned to take a look around." Gu Mingdong explained casually.
This obviously cannot be said to them, Gu Mingnan said strangely: "Brother, you would rather stay here to farm the land than go out to work, this is not like what you said."
Gu Mingdong said lightly: "I have to listen to what's said in the factory when I go to work. I don't have freedom. Is it the same as me going out for a walk as I like?"
"Dad, are you going alone?" Gu Liangchen asked.
Gu Mingdong nodded: "This time I will go alone, if you are interested, you can go together next time."
Without waiting for them to say anything, Gu Mingdong got up and said: "You just need to know, I won't go for too long, I will be back soon."
