Chapter 148: Coming to the door

I have to say that Gu Chengliang understands Gu Huayu very well.

Gu Huayu shook her head, "No, it's a long story. I'll talk to you in detail later."

When Gu Chengliang saw someone coming around, he knew it was not the time to talk, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Gu Huayu immersed herself in writing the couplets in the backyard. Just as she handed the pen to Gu Chengliang, Wan came over and called out: "Brother Liang, Xiaoyu, your uncle and aunt are here. Hurry up and see them."

Gu Chengliang put down the things in his hands and pulled Gu Huayu to follow Wanshi to the wing. As he walked, he asked: "Mom, are the two uncles here? Where are cousin Wei and cousin Chen? Are they both here? ?”

Wan Lifeng has two elder brothers, the eldest brother Wan Guifeng, and her two sons, Wan Wei and Wan Chen.

The second brother, Wan Guihua, has twin daughters, Wan Dashuang and Wan Xiaoshuang.

Wan Shi smiled and responded: "They are all here, and so are the eldest pair and the little pair. As soon as the eldest pair and the little pair arrived, they asked about Xiaoyu."

 Gu Huayu smiled, feeling a little guilty in her heart. In her memory, her two uncles and aunt treated her very well.

 The trajectory of her life changed because of her rebirth. For the past six months, she has been busy with various trivial matters, and until now, she has not visited her two uncles.

Gu Huayu entered the side room and greeted her two uncles, aunt and cousins.

The grandmother Meng pulled Gu Huayu to follow, and retreated the silver bracelet in her hand to Gu Huayu's hand.

“We are all very happy that Xiaoyu is getting better. I don’t have much to offer, but this silver bracelet was given to me by my mother-in-law when I was growing up.

Don't dislike Xiaoyu. This is my aunt's wish. I hope Xiaoyu will be smooth in the future. "

Gu Huayu looked at the bracelet on her hand. She didn't know what to do for a moment, so she turned to look at Wanshi.

 The two uncles are both honest farmers, and their families are not well off.

Wan Shi smiled and nodded, and said, "Just accept your aunt's wishes."

With Wan's permission, Gu Huayu thanked Meng for his blessing.

Second Aunt Jiang said with a smile: "Xiao Yu, Second Aunt is the one who has nothing to offer.

I haven’t seen you for a year, and my second sister-in-law doesn’t know if you have grown taller? Are the legs long?

 Second aunt, I think I made a pair of shoes for you, but I don’t know if they will fit? Do you like it? "

As he spoke, Jiang took out a pair of lake blue embroidered shoes from the bag beside him and handed them to Gu Huayu.

Jiang's embroidery work is considered to be one of the best in Sanhe Town. On weekdays, Jiang will make embroidery and sell it in the market to supplement the family income.

This time, Gu Huayu didn't look at Wanshi. She happily took the embroidered shoes from Jiangshi and thanked her: "My aunt gave it to me. Xiaoyu likes it. Thank you, second auntie."

Mengshi smiled and took over the words: "Of the children in our family, Shu Xiaoyu is the most well-behaved and sensible.

Your second aunt stayed up several nights to make these shoes. Please try them on quickly. "

Jiangshi explained sheepishly: "It's not several nights, just two nights."

Wanshi said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law is interested. Xiaoyu, please put it on quickly."

Gu Huayu sat next to Jiang, bent down and took off her shoes, walked a few steps on the ground, and said, "It fits your feet very well. The soles are very soft and easy to wear. Thank you, second aunt."

Seeing that Gu Huayu really liked her, Mrs. Jiang's eyes were full of smiles and she replied, "As long as Xiaoyu likes her."

 Gu Huayu put her shoes back on, patted the dust on the soles, and held them in her arms like a baby.

 Jiang felt even better after seeing it.

Wanshi said: "Brother Liang, Xiaoyu, you can take your brothers and sisters to play."

Gu Huayu and Gu Chengliang bowed to the elders and left the room with Wan Wei and Wan Chen.

Gu Huayu asked softly: "Brother, where are we going?"

Gu Chengliang thought for a while and said: "It's cold and there's nothing fun outside. Let's go to the study."

"Okay. Brother, please be careful, I'm a little bit naive." Gu Huayu said in a low voice.

Gu Chengliang turned to look at Gu Huayu and asked, "Do you recognize life?" He looked incredulous.

Gu Huayu pulled Gu Chengliang's sleeve and lowered her voice: "Keep your voice down! It's not like I'm a stranger. I haven't seen him for a while. I just don't know what to talk about."

Seeing that Gu Huayu was not pretending, Gu Chengliang said with relief: "Don't be nervous, I have my brother here. My brother and sister both like us very much. They get along very well."

The two brothers and sisters took the Wan brothers and sisters to the study. As Gu Chengliang said, the Wan brothers and sisters were very easy-going and easy to get along with.

 In less than half an hour, Gu Huayu got along well with Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang.

She liked these two cousins ​​who looked almost the same. "Cousin, how can I tell who is the eldest sister and who is the second sister?" Gu Huayu looked at the two and asked.

 Xiao Shuang smiled and pointed to the left side of her face: "Look here, when we laugh, my dimple is on the left and my sister's is on the right."

 Gu Huayu looked at the big pair, then at the little pair, and said, "It's true! One's dimple is on the left, and the other's is on the right. Apart from that, is there anything else?"

 The big pair and the little pair shook their heads at the same time. Xiaoshuang said: "If we don't smile, it will be difficult for my parents to recognize us."

 Gu Huayu looked carefully and realized that these were the most similar twins she had ever seen.

“Brother Liang, the third aunt said that the older couple and the younger ones are here. Are they with Xiaoyu? Do you know where they went?” Gu Chengjuan asked outside the door.

Gu Huayu raised her voice and called out: "Second sister, we are in the study."

Gu Chengjuan pushed the door open and came in. Seeing all the brothers and sisters from the Wan family, she said with a smile: "So you are in the study. I went to Xiaoyu's room to look for you."

 The elder pair and the younger pair stood up to greet Gu Chengjuan.

 After the two parties greeted each other, Gu Chengjuan sat next to Gu Huayu and started chatting with the young and old.

Gu Huayu sat on the edge and listened to their conversation, occasionally picking up a few words.

Because there are many relatives staying over, there are not enough beds at home. At night, the big couple, the little couple, Gu Chengjuan, and Gu Huayu squeezed into one bed.

The little girls were so excited that they chatted until midnight. Before any of them went to bed, Mrs. Guan had already called at the door: "Xiaojuan, Xiaoyu, get up quickly, we will be on the beam soon."

Gu Chengjuan turned over and sat up, raising her voice and responded: "Okay. Let's get up now."

Gu Huayu followed and asked, "Didn't our family move to a new house? How come it's Shangliang?"

 Gu Chengjuan replied while putting on her clothes: "Because I didn't have a good schedule before, I left the main beam of the main house to fall down today and did it together with the housewarming."

 Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang followed, "Let's watch the fun together."

Several people went to the new house and saw people gathering in front of the hall and outside the house.

Gu Chengjuan pulled Gu Huayu and squeezed to the front of the main room. She looked up at the person sitting on the roof and whispered: "This person is a Feng Shui master. He comes from the second sister-in-law's natal village. He is also named Wang. Whoever builds a house nearby will always know it." Ask him to read Feng Shui.”

Gu Huayu looked up at Master Wang and saw him sitting on the beam, holding a red silk ribbon in his hand.

There was a large tray next to him, with a plate of pointed dumplings placed on the tray. Gu Defang sat on the other side and held the tray.

 “Master Wang, the auspicious time has come.” Someone downstairs shouted.

Master Wang began to mutter something, then he raised his hands and said a congratulatory message loudly: "Take a piece of damask from the master's house in your hand, one foot and three feet and zero, tie it three times on the left to increase wealth, and tie it three times on the right to enhance the Imperial Academy.

The master’s family will be prosperous, and the house will be filled with wealth and glory…

Hold the cake in your hand and throw it to the east. The master will build a house and become a rich man. The old man will eat it and live a long life. The younger generation will pick it up and eat it and become a hero..."

After Master Wang said a bunch of auspicious words, he grabbed the glutinous rice **** on the tray and threw them down. People around him reached out to grab them.

Gu Chengjuan saw Master Wang throwing glutinous rice balls, put aside Gu Huayu's hand, and followed to grab them. "Xiaoyu, hurry up and grab it."

Gu Huayu joined everyone in grabbing it.

After the ceremony, Gu Chengjuan ran over with a dumpling in one hand and said, "Xiaoyu, I picked up two. What about you? Did you pick them up?"

Gu Huayu opened the hem of her skirt and said, "Well, it's all here."

Gu Chengjuan looked down and her pupils were shocked, "Wow, you picked up too much! That's amazing!"

Gu Chengjuan was so excited that she bent down to help Gu Huayu count the ones she picked up.

After a while, Gu Chengjuan straightened up, gave a thumbs up to Gu Huayu and said, "Awesome, sixteen! Let's go to the kitchen, and let Third Aunt cook breakfast for us later."

Gu Huayu followed Gu Chengjuan and walked to the kitchen. Asked: "Second sister, from today onwards, we can live in a new house?"

Gu Chengjuan nodded, "Yes, there is only one tile left in the main hall that is not covered. After it is covered and the grandfather moves into his house, the juniors can start moving.

In fact, even if we move, there is nothing to move. Everything in the new house is new. There is no need to move anything in the old house, as long as people come over. "

This, Gu Huayu knew, it was her request to use new items in the new house.

"By the way, I heard from my second brother that there is still a theater troupe coming to sing today." Gu Chengjuan said.

“After breakfast, let’s go there early. I want to sit in the front row and watch the show. Can you accompany me?”

Gu Huayu nodded and said, "Okay."

On this day, Gu Huayu accompanied Gu Chengjuan to watch a day's play.

 Sending off neighbors near and far, the family tidied up for two days before tidying up the inside and outside of the home.

Then, the family was busy making New Year’s goods, and the family celebrated the New Year lively.

 On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Huayu told her family about going to Hongcheng.

After hearing this, Gu Chengjuan jumped up excitedly and asked, "Xiaoyu, can you take me with you? I want Hongcheng too."

Mrs. Fang raised her hand and patted Gu Chengjuan, and said in a deep voice: "Sit tight!"

Gu Chengjuan looked at everyone and sat down dejectedly.

Gu Huaidong asked in confusion: "Okay, why do you want to go to Hongcheng?"

Gu Defang took the words and said, "Yes, why go to Hongcheng? How far is Hongcheng!"

Gu Dehai said: "Xiaoyu, Shicheng is close to home, and Shopkeeper Huang is here to help. But Hongcheng is too far? We are really not familiar with the place in Hongcheng. What if something happens?"

Gu Chengnan nodded and said: "Dad is right. Xiaoyu, doing business is not easy. What happened before Rouge Shop should be taken as a warning.

You and Lin Geer are both children. If you go to such a far place to do business, your family will be worried. "

Qin took the words and said, "Xiaoyu, Hongcheng is too far away, let's stay in Shicheng. At least Shopkeeper Huang is here in Shicheng..."

"Shopkeeper Huang? Shopkeeper Huang has long since fled to who knows where! Whether he can escape from the enemy's pursuit is still unclear, but you still expect him to protect us?" Wang said sarcastically, holding her hands on her waist.

Wang's words were like a bomb, which immediately stunned the whole family. You looked at each other, and I looked at you.

After a long while, Mrs. Qin said with a serious face: "Xiu'e, where did you hear these words? Don't talk nonsense."

Wang Xiu'e raised her head and snorted softly, "Talk nonsense? Auntie, I didn't talk nonsense."

On the day of our housewarming and the banquet, my parents’ family came over to have a drink.

 When everyone sat together and talked, they were talking about this matter.

It just so happens that I have a cousin who owns a steamed bun shop in the county town, and the steamed bun shop is right across from Huangji.

My cousin-in-law said that on the nights of the 18th and 19th, a group of people killed Huang Ji. They all looked fierce and carried three-foot-long swords, and they slashed at anyone they saw.

This incident caused a great stir. On the night of the 18th, even the people in the Yamen were alerted. The group of people retreated only after seeing the Yamen people.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, speaking of it, those people were simply desperadoes. Even the government offices were dispatched. On the night of the 19th, they still dared to come to the door.

Shopkeeper Huang was beaten to the point where he could not return home, so he escaped with his people that night. "

 Gu Huaidong looked at Gu Dechang, "Third brother, did shopkeeper Huang really take people out of Shicheng?"

Gu Dechang knew he couldn't keep it secret, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Huang is no longer in Shicheng."

"So, what Xiu'e said is true? Who did shopkeeper Huang offend? The other party started such a big battle." Qin asked nervously.

 Gu Dechang was afraid that his family would misunderstand Shopkeeper Huang, so he explained: "Brother Huang is not fleeing. Brother Huang left Shicheng because of Wang Xiancheng's intention, and Wang Xiancheng asked Brother Huang to go out and take shelter.

Brother Huang thought that he had not returned to his hometown to celebrate the New Year for many years, so he took this opportunity to go back to celebrate the New Year and pay homage to his ancestors. "

 Mrs. Qin was still lingering on Wang Xiu'e's words and murmured: "Who did Shopkeeper Huang offend? Let people chase him to the door and kill him. Brother Lin is in Hongcheng, will everything be okay?"

 Everyone looked at Gu Huayu.

"Xiaoyu, Brother Lin..." Gu Defang asked with worry on his face.

Gu Huayu said: "Uncle, uncle mother, where did you think you were? Third brother is fine. Really, I promise."

"Guarantee? What guarantee do you have?" Wang Xiu'e asked.

 Gu Chengnan saw Wang targeting Gu Huayu and quickly stood up to stop her. "Xiu'e, you go back to the house and rest."

Wang Xiu'e glared at Gu Chengnan, "What time is it? You want me to go back and have a rest? You are always protecting Gu Huayu and don't want her to suffer any injustice."

 To do business, what kind of business do you want to do? You won’t go home during the Chinese New Year? Let me tell you, Brother Lin is probably in trouble! Gu Huayu just hid it from everyone. "

Wan stood up with a straight face and said angrily: "Wang Xiu'e, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. What kind of stupid words did you say during the New Year's Day? Do you believe I will slap you?"

 Mr. Wan has been ill for many years. She can't even speak more than two sentences without getting out of breath. Therefore, Mr. Wan has never been talkative.

 The family had never seen Wan in a rage, and they were all intimidated by her aura.

Wang Xiu'e shrank back in fear, but she didn't know how to restrain her mouth, "What did I say? Isn't it true that the third uncle and Shopkeeper Huang are friends? Don't you worry, the enemy can't find Shopkeeper Huang, but they can find us Come home."
