Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Immediately after the yelling, there was another tender and tender cry from outside: "Father, mother, my brother and my sister-in-law are back, come out quickly."

Immediately afterwards, several noisy footsteps gradually approached the mule and carriage, and the sound had already arrived before the people arrived.

"I'm coming."

"The feeling is that our baby and Miss Wu's family have come back to visit their relatives. Old lady, you should hurry up."

There are two old-fashioned voices, a man and a woman, and there is a sense of surprise and joy in the vicissitudes of life.

Could it be father Guo Laohan and mother Guo Liushi?Maybe that immature voice just now was his little sister Guo Xiaoman?

Hearing the sound from outside, Wu Xiuxiu had already started to move, bowed her waist and walked out of the carriage slowly, stopped at the carriage door, suddenly turned her head to look at Guo Ye, and asked, "Why? Even the door of my own house is closed. Are you afraid to enter?"

After finishing speaking, he told Chunxiang outside the car: "Chunxiang, take down the things in the car. I brought them specially to honor my parents-in-law."

The sentence of filial piety to parents-in-law was so euphemistic and natural that Guo Ye's heart warmed up once again.

Chunxiang hummed outside, and at the same time, Guo Laohan was eager to say something, and Miss Wu's family was too polite, and there was a bit of respect in his words.

Guo Ye knew that no matter how close he was to his hometown, he would get out of the car at this time.

Forget about him, in this life, he is Guo Ye, the son of the tenant Guo Laohan, Guo Ye.

Even Wu Xiuxiu, a fake daughter-in-law, is going to see her in-laws, so how can he, who is supposed to be a son of man, avoid seeing them?

When it comes, be safe.

So, he got up slowly, and shouted outside before getting out of the car: "Father, mother, little sister, I'm back."

After the sound fell, the person had already got out of the carriage and jumped down.

But when he got off the mule cart, Guo Ye could no longer be excited about what he saw.

Guo Ye was stunned by what he saw with his eyes...

Chapter 7

Originally, I wanted to pretend to be excited after reuniting after a long absence.

What he could see made Guo Ye's eye sockets moist, and his nose couldn't help but feel sour.

The father was dressed in coarse linen, with a stooped body, his smiling face was covered with wrinkles, and the gullies were as sharp as a knife and an axe; the mother was wearing a double-breasted gown that was patched up, looking at Miss Wu's family at a loss, full of longing Look at Guo Ye lovingly.

In the fenced yard, there was a thin little girl wearing a stained shirt, holding an ax in her hand, looking at the firewood in the yard, which should be freshly chopped by her today.

Guo Ye tried his best to suppress the sour tears from pouring out of his eyes, and shouted in his heart, are these my parents, my little sister?

Guo Ye's thoughts flew back to his previous life in an instant. Back then, he was also from the countryside, and his parents worked hard to support him to go to school. After graduating from university, he found a job. When he thought about earning money to support his family and honor his parents, his parents passed away due to old age and frailty.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the child wants to be nurtured but the kiss doesn't wait!

Guo Ye, who was hit by the death of his parents in his previous life, did not show his talent in school after entering the work unit, but developed a character of getting by, so that he wasted his life at the grassroots level of the work unit.

Maybe it was the filial piety of Lord Yan who pitied Guo Ye, allowing him to reincarnate with his soul and give him another chance to be a son of man.

Successful people are not always waiting for opportunities, but are good at seizing them.

Guo Ye is nothing more than that, seeing the bleak scene of his parents and younger sister in the present family, Guo Ye clenched his fists and swore secretly in his heart, even if it was for them and for the younger sister, I shouldn't live like this again. Day of the dead.

Father, mother, little sister, please give me some time, I, Guo Ye, will definitely let you live a prosperous and comfortable life.

"Boy, what are you doing in a daze, quickly lead Miss Guo into the house."

Guo Laohan stepped forward and pushed Guo Ye who was in a daze, and reminded him.

Guo Ye woke up in surprise and entered the house?

There are two huts in the small fenced yard, two thatched huts whose walls are piled up with mud and whose roofs are made of wood and thatch.

This may be the only real estate that the Guo family can afford.

Seeing the two thatched cottages, not only Guo Ye was surprised, but even Wu Xiuxiu and the maid Chunxiang were extremely surprised. I didn't expect the Guo family to be so poor.

Guo Laohan saw the surprised eyes of Wu Xiuxiu and others, rubbed his hands together with embarrassment and said with a smile: "Well, don't be surprised by Miss Wu. The gift money given by the Wu family is quite a lot. We are thinking about renovating the house next year. , This time I really wronged Missy."

Guo Ye's younger sister, Guo Xiaoman, ran up to Wu Xiuxiu dexterously, not afraid of strangers at all, and shouted at Wu Xiuxiu: "Sister-in-law, my father is not lying. He has already discussed with the craftsmen in the village about building a new house. Next year If you and my brother go home again, we will definitely be able to live in a new house."

Listening to Guo Xiaoman's words, Wu Xiuxiu not only fell in love with this spooky girl, she couldn't help but reached out and patted her head.

Unexpectedly, Guo Xiaoman shook his head lightly to avoid it, and said crisply: "Sister-in-law, don't touch me, my clothes are dirty, don't stain my sister-in-law's hands."

Wu Xiuxiu felt sore when she heard it, and regardless of Guo Xiaoman's dodge, she pulled her closer and stroked her hair full of grass ash and sawdust, and said softly: "It's not dirty, Xiaoman is clean. Let's go back to the house. Look. Let's see what gift my sister-in-law brought you."

Then he said to Guo Laohan and Guo Liushi: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, don't call me the eldest lady anymore. I am the daughter-in-law of the Guo family. You can call me Xiuxiu. That's what my father called me."

Guo Laohan still rubbed his hands vigorously, shaking his head again and again, saying how to make it, and not to do it.

Guo Liushi followed behind Guo Laohan very dutifully, agreeing to do nothing.

Guo Ye looked at his parents and younger sister, and listened to the scene just now, his heart was as sad as a crow crowing, and he kept telling himself that he must strive for success and stand out from others.

He knew that Wu Xiuxiu's various performances today had given him enough face, even though the other party might not be sincere, most of them were out of perfunctory, he was inexplicably grateful.

So he smoothed things over with his parents and younger sister and said: "Father, mother, you can call me whatever Xiuxiu says. Although my son is a son of the Wu family, my father-in-law has always treated me like a half son, and has never treated me favorably. I."

After speaking, he held Guo Laohan with his left hand and Guo Liushi's arm with his right, and walked straight to the thatched cottage.

While Wu Xiuxiu was touching Guo Xiaoman's head, she glanced at Guo Yegao who entered the room. Could she not know how her father treated Guo Ye?In the eyes of their Wu family father and daughter, Guo Ye is at most just a cover, and he is not really regarded as half a son.

Could it be that because of what he did just now, Guo Ye threw peaches at him and rewarded him with plums?

Wu Xiuxiu didn't have time to think about it, and told Chunxiang not to forget to move the gifts from Wu's house in the car into the thatched cottage, and then walked into the thatched cottage with her arms around Guo Xiaoman's frail shoulders.

After entering the room, apart from a dining table and a big bed, there are only a few round stools in the whole room.

Guo Ye finally saw what it means to be poor and what it means to be destitute.

Guo Ye, Guo Laohan, and Wu Xiuxiu chatted without saying a word in the house, while Guo Xiaoman accompanied his wife Guo Liushi to the stove outside the house and began to cook dinner.

For a while, the smell of rice spread into the house, making Guo Ye's index finger twitch. Even the big fish and meat of the Wu family can't compare to this smell of rice.

After a while, Guo Laohan who was asking Wu Xiuxiu about things in the house was called out mysteriously by Guo Xiaoman and Guo Liushi. Guo Ye didn't know what his father was doing out of the house.

After seeing his father go out, only Guo Ye and Wu Xiuxiu were left in the room.

This was Guo Ye's first chance to be alone with Wu Xiuxiu since the night of festivities in Wu's bridal chamber.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became a little awkward.
