First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 8 Being Alone

  The road in the village is not easy, especially the section of Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao’s house. There are too many potholes and it is easy to get stuck in the car.

The car stopped at the entrance of the village.

  "Brother Xiao." The classmate jumped out of the carriage first, reached out and helped Xiao Liulang down, and then took off Xiao Liulang's burden.

  After standing still, Xiao Liulang glanced back at Gu Jiao.

  I saw Gu Jiao lightly jump out of the carriage and carried the basket on her back.

  Xiao Liulang retracted his gaze, and said to his classmate: "You go back, don't send it anymore."

  It was indeed late, and the coachman was a little impatient.

  The classmate then said: “That’s OK, I’m leaving, don’t forget the exam three days later. If the college is not on holiday that day, I won’t come to pick you up, you remember to go.”

   "Yeah." Xiao Liulang nodded faintly, and took the baggage.

  The road is not easy to walk at night, and they don't have a lantern in their hands, so Gu Jiao didn't move, waiting silently for Xiao Liulang.

The classmate glanced at her coldly, pulled Xiao Liulang a little further, and whispered: "Brother Xiao, you take the exam three days later. You can live in the college after passing the exam, and you don't need to be bullied by this wicked woman anymore! Cure! You don’t have to worry about the legs, I will continue to inquire about Doctor Zhang. Oh, and also, eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake by yourself, don’t make the wicked woman cheap!"

  Gu Jiao was sweating when she came back from the market with a basket on her back, but she was all dried on the mule, her red face was white with cold now, and her eyes were a little winked in the moonlight.

  Xiao Liulang’s leftover light swept over her, and the classmate wanted to explain a few more words, but Xiao Liulang interrupted: "I see, you go back."

  The classmate opened his mouth, but Xiao Liulang stopped paying attention to him. Holding the bag in one hand and the crutches in the other, he turned and headed toward his home.

  Gu Jiao stepped to keep up.

  Gu Jiao kept the distance from him just right, not to make people feel too close, but if she fell down, she could hold them in time.

  However, Xiao Liulang was very familiar with this section of the road, and nothing happened until his home.

  At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and the doors of every household were closed. Only Xue Ningxiang came out to pour bath water and froze for a while at the door.

   "Axiang, why don't you come in? What are you looking at?"

  In the room, Xue Ningxiang’s mother-in-law was lying on the hospital bed and asked her hoarsely.

  Xue Ningxiang blinked startledly, and said, "No, nothing."

  She must have read it wrong, how could Xiao Liulang walk with that little fool? Although they are two people, they are more enemies than enemies.

  Gu's old house.

  Today is the big room for cooking. Zhou and his daughter Gu Yue'e brought the hot meals to the main room and arranged the dishes and chopsticks.

  In Gu’s house, women don’t eat at the table. Only father Gu, eldest son Gu Changhai, second son Gu Changlu, and three grandchildren are on the table.

  The old lady Wu took her two daughter-in-laws and granddaughter Gu Yue'e, and sat in the stove with a bowl to eat.

  Gu's father is Lizheng, and he is better than most villagers who only know how to eat in the ground. The big guy can't see fishy meat several times a year, but Gu's family can eat two meals of meat every month.

  Today is exactly the day to eat meat.

  Pork belly stewed with cabbage, even the soup exudes a strong meaty aroma.

  But there is not much pork belly, so one person can't eat it with two chopsticks.

  After Gu Changhai and Gu Changlu had each sandwiched a piece, under the majesty of their father, they didn't dare to make the idea of ​​this bowl of meat anymore, and turned around to pick up pickles and pickles.

  Old man Gu didn’t eat much himself, he only took a small slice, and gave Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Ershun a small slice each, and all the rest was given to Gu Dashun.

  Gu Xiaoshun carefully counted them, five in total, and all of them are big!

  "Why do you feed him?" Gu Xiaoshun grumbled bitterly while picking up rice.

  Gu Ershun whispered, “That’s because the eldest brother is a scholar, so our family just pointed to the eldest brother.”

   When he said this, he could not help but glanced at the meat in the Dashun bowl.

  He is hungry.

   is really bad.

  But he is used to this kind of differential treatment.

  There are so many men in the family, only the elder brother is the only material to study. This year, the elder brother Qiuwei was also admitted to the county school, which is higher than his grandfather's original achievements.

   "Cut." Gu Xiaoshun rolled his eyes, "My brother-in-law is also a scholar, why didn't you call him to eat meat?"

   "How can it be the same? The eldest brother has been admitted to the county school, how can he compare with the eldest brother?"

   "My brother-in-law just didn't take the exam."

  The two brothers were still fighting, and Mr. Gu snapped his chopsticks on the table, and the two of them shut up in an instant.

  The old man started the fire, not to mention that the three grandchildren could not hold it, even Gu Changhai and Gu Changlu were a bit of a slap.

  The room is terribly quiet.

  "Second brother, did I read the book I showed you? There are comments I made on it. Please read it carefully. If you don’t understand, just ask me."

  Gu Dashun is speaking.

  He was the only one who dared to speak out against the anger of the old man.

  His voice is clear and smooth, his tone is calm, he is not hurried, he really has the demeanor of a scholar.

  What did Mr. Gu think about the golden sun, his anger quickly disappeared.

  Gu Ershun smiled flatteredly and said: "Then I will thank you eldest brother in advance!"

  Grandpa Gu taught all three grandchildren at the beginning, only Gu Dashun took the exam, and the master later could not teach him his knowledge, so he sent Gu Dashun to the private school in the town.

  Private schools are too expensive, and the Gu family can only afford the best one.

  Gu Ershun wants to dream the same as Gu Dashun.

  Old man Gu said without anger and prestige: "Don't bother your eldest brother these days, he has to take an exam."

  Gu Ershun respectfully nodded: "I see, grandpa."

  Gu Xiaoshun didn’t want to stay longer, so he left after taking a few bites.

  He wants to go out, but the front door of the hall can't go, nor can the back door of the stove. Wu is no better to deal with than the old man.

  Gu Xiaoshun decided to overturn the wall.

  But he had just climbed halfway, and was caught by Liu: "Gu Xiaoshun! Come down for me!"

  Gu Xiaoshun was dragged down by Liu.

  Liu’s slap on his head, and whispered: “Your grandma is here, don’t you want to live anymore?”

  "Don't hit me on the head!" Gu Xiaoshun said impatiently.

   "It's so late, what are you doing out?"

   "My sister hasn't come to eat for a day, I'll take a look at her."

   Liu snorted: "It's just right that she won't come, what are you going to look at? After you become a relative, you still run to your mother's house every day, what is it like!"

Gu Xiaoshun curled his lips and said, "The third uncle and the third aunt didn't say that before they died. Grandma promised the third aunt. The sister is going to hire a son-in-law in our house. "

  Liu couldn’t say that he couldn’t, so he pinched him severely!

  Gu Ershun is neither obedient nor useful, and Gu Xiaoshun is neither obedient nor useful. She gave birth to two children with a baby in vain!鈥斺�

  Gu Jiao bought rice noodles at the market, but she did not expect Xiao Liulang to buy it too, and also bought a few more buns with white noodles.

  Gu Jiao went to the stove to heat the buns.

   is the fire made by Xiao Liulang.

  Gu Jiao is also not hypocritical.

  The injury on her wrist was not serious when she went out. But she did something at the market and the wound was torn. It was also fortunate that she didn't think it was safe at home, so she took the medicine box with her and bandaged it on the spot.

  None of the two mentioned the three cornmeal buns in the morning, Xiao Liulang did not explain, and Gu Jiao did not question.

  "Just eat here, warm." Gu Jiao said. She was really freezing, and she was still shivering for a while.

  Xiao Liulang hesitated for a moment, then he hummed, and sat down on the Xiaozi next to Gu Jiao.

  The two were so close for the first time, so close that he was sitting on Gu Jiao's left side, and the birthmark on her left face could be clearly seen.

  In the past, Gu Jiao used a thick powder to cover her face, but now she faces the sky without any concealment.

  Xiao Liulang's beautiful lips moved slightly, but there was no sound at all.

   Just as she would not ask about him, he would not ask her.

   is two unrelated people, there is no need to have a deeper involvement.

  White noodle steamed buns didn't taste much, but Gu Jiao was hungry all day, so she was not picky about it.

   Gu Jiao choked a little while eating, she went back to the house and drank some water. When she returned to the stove, Xiao Liulang was no longer there, and there was a bag of things on the small bench.

  Gu Jiao opened it and took a look.

   is sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
