Chapter 316 Old Books
"She's from Jiangcheng, clean, pretty, well-educated and well-mannered. She's the one who helped him get promoted. If it weren't for you, she would have gotten married as soon as she turned 18 and filed a marriage report. And you, on the other hand, are just a starving ghost from a fishing village."
"People over there took a fancy to him and gave him a watch, a set of clothes, inside and out, and a pair of leather shoes. I received the same treatment. And you, you are so sarcastic. If it weren't for the fact that my mother is gone, would I have followed you?"
The aunt and sister-in-law parted on bad terms.
When Lu Yi came back, the house was deserted and Guo Aihong was crying.
Lu Yi was also annoyed. "The Jiang family looks down on me. I'm just using them as a shield. The Jiang family's younger sister is the same age as Lu Ying. If you don't want to leave, just leave. I'll go to the cafeteria to eat."
Lu Yi turned and left.
What could Guo Aihong do? She had lived two lifetimes and had wanted to be an officer's wife for a long time.
In her previous life, there was also a mudslide. Guo Aihong was arranged by her father to be married to the man whose wife died in the mudslide and who had a one-year-old daughter.
She also gave birth to daughters one by one. When she gave birth to her seventh daughter, she came back before the mudslide happened.
This time, Guo Aihong took her family to the mountain to dig for gold bars two hours in advance.
As expected, if the whole family went out, they would surely die.
However, after trying to commit suicide several times, Lu Yi finally compromised. In his previous life, Lu Yi was assigned to be the deputy director of a textile factory.
Guo Zili climbed up the social ladder, and his family changed their status and he married a woman from the city.
One daughter-in-law in the countryside and one daughter-in-law in the city.
When I, your cousin, asked for a job, I was directly rejected.
Then why can't I just climb up by myself?
No matter what he said, he had to wait for a year for his parents, Lu Yi refused to consummate the marriage.
It turned out that she was inferior to the pretty girls in the city.
Guo Aihong didn't dare to go to the army to make trouble, and she also wanted to see people, so she naturally softened.
.........
In January 1973, all major factories organized social activities, and Jiang Xiu returned home on her own.
Gu Lixia didn't ask anything.
Jiang Xiu continued reading.
It’s the twelfth lunar month, and it’s the last time to collect grain and oil before the New Year.
Gu Lixia followed him for a walk early in the morning.
Laba porridge. Gu Lixia wanted to drink eight-treasure porridge, so she just made it herself.
Rice, millet, glutinous rice, red beans, mung beans, black beans, chestnuts, peanuts, raisins, and red dates.
Even though there was no sugar in it, the children said it was sweet.
The two little brothers also ate several bites.
I took two bowls to Aunt Shen, and Aunt Shen gave me two bowls in return, which were placed separately.
None of the children can visit their relatives this year, and Aunt Shen can't leave either.
The two families celebrate the New Year together.
On the 14th, Jiangjia Village sent dozens of fish again. Huainan counted them and found 34.
There were 6 rabbits, all of which were chopped up, crisped, and stewed.
I kept the two fish and took them back to my parents’ home on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
Use the rest to make fish balls.
Gu Lixia and Jiang Xiu did not get involved, but the uncle and nephew were very active.
"How was it? What do you think the book is about?"
"When I read Granny Liu Enters the Mansion, I couldn't wait to see the ending and know everyone's story. But in the end, I might as well not have read the ending. How could everything be gone?"
"Looking at history, Sun was the wet nurse of the third emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The prince's biological mother died young, and all his fantasies about his mother were transferred to Sun."
"After taking power, he favored the wet nurse's family and sent them to guard the purse strings in the south. Only trusted relatives could hold such posts. If the father died, there would be a son. If the son died, there would be a grandson. If the grandson also died, one would be adopted."
"The old lady is alive, but the man who sat on the throne is a thing of the past. The new emperor ascended the throne and took drastic measures to purge all corrupt officials."
"Are there history books too?"
"Yes, but it's more interesting to read this one, the story of 105 men and 3 women. It's a story from another dynasty. You can read it first and talk about it after you finish it." Gu Lixia went back to the house, put away the previous one, found this one and handed it to Jiang Xiu.
Jiang Wen knew it and glanced at Gu Lixia.
By the time of the Little New Year, Huainan and Huaibei had already mastered the art of steaming bowls and trays.
Since the holidays, Huainan has become the one who makes the fire, while Huaibei is slowly learning how to cook.
With Gu Lixia's guidance, the child is doing well in his studies. He will need to train for another half a year next year. In the second half of the year, Huainan will go to junior high school, and Huaibei will be just in time to cook.
It’s just that the people in Huaixi didn’t learn how to make fire.
"Do you really eat human flesh?" Jiang Xiu suddenly asked Gu Lixia quietly.
Gu Lixia nodded.
Jiang Xiu returned to the house in a daze.
The yellow filial piety couplet written by Gu Lixia was also released into the space.
On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Wen and Huainan went back to visit the grave together.
On New Year’s Eve, every household puts up spring couplets early in the morning.
The Jiang family is no exception.
The Jiang family eats at noon and in the evening, so the children cannot go out.
Aunt Cui and Uncle Cui also brought meat and wine.
There are also parts of holiday gifts from three places.
Celebrate the New Year happily.
The New Year’s Eve dinner is still as beautiful as possible.
They are all large dishes, meaning perfect.
Braised spare ribs.
Sweet and sour pork ribs.
Sweet and sour meatballs.
pork head meat.
Stewed rabbit.
Sweet and sour tofu.
Chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Dumplings.
Bowl holder.
Seafood stew.
The two little brothers kept crying.
The 7-month-old cub has already grown baby teeth.
Just touch it.
Gu Lixia slapped him directly.
It's quiet now.
Gu Lixia and Jiang Xiu began to feed them tomato noodles.
One spoonful after another.
After feeding, I took him away and put him on the brothers’ crib.
The aunt and sister-in-law just started eating.
Wait for Gu Lixia to finish eating.
The two brothers have fallen asleep.
As the year passes, you are one year older.
Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen’s red envelopes remained simple.
2 cents per person.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Jiang Wen went back alone.
Gu Lixia felt cold.
An excuse to look after the kids.
Jiang Wen took a basket of drunken dates and two fish and went to Gu's house.
Everyone is here except Gu Lixia.
Jiang Wen's arrival was just a formality.
After putting down his things, he asked to leave.
None of the three men in the Gu family were polite.
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were cooking, Bai Cailan listened to her mother-in-law complaining.
In the left ear and out the right ear.
I actually felt that my sister-in-law was like a fool, having broken off relations with her parents' family.
Unlike me, my mother-in-law took care of me during the confinement period, and my biological mother also came often.
After work, my mother helps me.
My father-in-law’s salary is not enough to support my family. When he comes here, he can only eat but not bring anything.
You have to bring a valuable gift when you come.
.........
On the first day of work after the New Year, I saw my sister-in-law and Jiang Wen going to work together.
Gu Lixia lamented that being a social animal is not easy.
The problem is that it is even harder to look after the child himself.
Plus there are the three brothers of Huainan.
Don't be lazy at all.
Fortunately, Huaibei took over the cooking task.
Just clean up your own room, it's easy.
Just play a musical instrument all day.
eat and drink.
After February 28th.
School starts on September 3st.
When the three brothers went out together, the two younger brothers cried heart-wrenchingly.
Gu Lixia had no choice. It was not a sin for a man to cry.
The three brothers are missing.
The two acting geniuses stopped crying.
Gu Lixia sent the two of them into the space, and the sweeping robot came out to clean five rooms.
