Mountain People

Gu Shuixiu looked at the sky, and calculated that in a few days, the colorful and Chenghai should be back. Taking advantage of these few days, Gu Shuixiu packed up a bunch of food for Dong Chenghu to send to Gu's house. Stop by the town to buy some more stuff.

Shen Shikang consumed seventy-eighth of their paper in order to copy books during this period of time, and these things have to be purchased, I am afraid that Dong Chenghu alone will not be able to get them back.

If it is freezing cold today, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and it is very inconvenient to use a donkey cart. I am afraid that all these things will be transported by manpower.

In addition, Shen Shikang is a husband in their family, and he has to prepare New Year's gifts for the Shen family. I started to worry again.

The New Year's gift that Gu Shuixiu prepares for the Qin family and the Zuo family every year are chickens, ducks, geese, eggs, and a few fish or seafood. Every year, Mrs. Hao smiles from ear to ear when she receives these things. Even Dong Yunmei told her directly that they live in the deep mountains, and it is more practical to collect these things than those precious things. .

That's what she said, but if she really wanted to send these to the Shen family, Gu Shuixiu couldn't help feeling that she couldn't hang up.

In the end, she couldn't, she had to start with Yang Yi with licking her face, and slapped her sideways.

Gu Shuixiu knew what to do, and immediately turned around and went to work.

, the two of them got Gu Shuixiu's order yesterday. Like Dong Chenghu, they also carried something behind them.

The difference is that one person carries seafood and aquatic products, and the other person carries live poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese.

As for Dong Chenghu's back basket, there are all kinds of work, including dried seafood and mountain delicacies, of various types, each with a lot of weight, and a whole back basket is placed at once.

In addition to a bag of silver in Dong Chenghu's arms, there are just four kinds of New Year's gifts. In fact, if you break them down, there are more than ten kinds of New Year's gifts.

Dong Chenghu also felt embarrassed when these things were brought to the Gu family.

If you don't come out and walk around, you will immediately show your weakness with something on your back, and you need Dong Chenghu and Dong Yi to stop and wait for him from time to time.

When the three arrived at Caozi Village, Dong Xiao was already slumped on the ground like a dog, and Dong Chenghu and Dong Yi still looked refreshed.

Zhao called Dong Chenghu very happy and hurriedly greeted him into the room.

Dong Chenghu looked around the yard and frowned: "Mother-in-law, it's time to repair the grass hut at home, it's too cold today, although it hasn't snowed this year, but if there is a light snow this shed But I can't take it anymore, I'll fix it for you later."

From time to time, Mr. Zhao put his hands to his mouth to breathe, and then rubbed his hands together forcefully, his feet jumped in small steps unconsciously, looking very afraid of the cold.

She saw that Dong Chenghu noticed the grass shed, and smiled: "There are some sundries in the shed, usually your father-in-law will put some things, I almost forgot that place, wait. I'll let your father-in-law fix it later, so don't be too busy."

Although Zhao said so, Dong Chenghu was still worried, so he asked Dong Yi and Dong Xiao to put down their things, and went to mend the grass shed first, and he followed Zhao into the house.

Zhao was a little surprised to see what Dong Chenghu brought. Although Dong Chenghu also gave New Year gifts in previous years, it would not be as exaggerated as this year. Young and old.

The Zhao family didn't talk to Dong Chenghu, and looked directly in front of him. After the three back baskets were all opened, the Zhao family immediately exclaimed, "Chenghu, what are you doing? Have all the food in your family moved in? Is this... dry goods?"

Zhao looked at the dried mushrooms and kelp, as well as some dried oysters, and a lot of dried fish. She lifted the basket and found that she had to lift it with both hands. .

Not waiting for Zhao to speak, Dong Chenghu took out a bag of silver from his arms and handed it to Zhao, "Mother-in-law, after the Chinese New Year, Daniel and Erniu should also kiss, this is me and Shuixiu Shui Xiu means that no matter how the other party's family is, as long as she is a good girl, she will quickly look at Daniel and Er Niu, and if Daniel drags on, it will be almost twenty."

Zhao shook her head desperately and refused to take it. Although she didn't know how much money was in the bag, Shuixiu must have given a lot. For her big girl, Zhao has a heart Feeling guilty, where would you want Dong Chenghu's money?

Zhao shi firmly rejected: "Chenghu, other mothers-in-law can accept it, but the money is definitely not acceptable. Let's not talk about whether Daniel can make money now, even when Shuixiu got married, we didn't. She gave her a dowry of one star and a half, and she didn't even have a brand-new wedding dress. We treated her so badly, and we will never ask for this money again.

"

Zhao's position is very clear and his attitude is very decisive, Dong Chenghu can't, remembering what Gu Shuixiu said to him, he said: "Mother-in-law, Shuixiu means home and everything is prosperous, and most of the money in the family is now. It was earned by Daniel. Although Daniel has no opinion on the handover of the money to the public, it is difficult to guarantee that his wife will have an idea in the future. Shui Xiu means that you can take the money and arrange the younger daughter-in-law before the eldest daughter-in-law enters the door. down.

The two entered the door with front and back feet, so the eldest daughter-in-law did not dare to have other ideas. Some twists and turns. "

Gu Shuixiu was also heartbroken. At first, because the Gu family had a hard time, Gu Shuixiu wanted to support her two younger brothers. The big bull was smart and outgoing, so he got him to work in the county government office. He is also lively, but he is more detached, and he is more timid towards strangers. To put it bluntly, he lacks courage.

In addition, the Gu family's fields also need people to take care of, Gu Mingde and Zhao's always need someone to take care of them, and Gu Shuixiu thought that it would be good to let Erniu stay in Caozi Village as a landowner.

It was just that Gu Mingde and Gu Erniu were too busy later, and they didn't want to hire people to farm, so they didn't buy extra fields. Now Gu Daniu is getting married, this matter must be done as soon as possible. In the future, most of the family's fields will be inherited by Gu Erniu, while Gu Daniu will occupy the small head.

This will also prevent the Zhao family from having a quarrel with her daughter-in-law because of these money matters.
