Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth
Chapter 70: Talking about Sister
There's not much to do in the fields these days except weeding the corn.
Liu Zhong and Wang Yuehong got off work early. When they came back and saw that only their son Liu Jianguo was playing at home, they knew that Liu Jinshui and Huang Guihua had gone to Liu Xiaoxi's house and had not returned yet.
After drinking a sip of water after entering the house, Wang Yuehong went to the private plot behind the house to pick some vegetables, pulled out a few radishes, put them in a rattan basket, and carried them back home.
Liu Jianguo was holding a watering can and was giving Liu Zhong water to wash his hands.
Liu Zhong saw his wife coming in with a basket of vegetables on her back and asked in surprise, "Do you want to pickle vegetables at home?"
Wang Yuehong didn't react and asked her husband blankly, "What?"
Liu Zhong pointed at the vegetable basket she had placed on the ground and asked, "You picked so many vegetables, aren't you going to pickle them?"
Wang Yuehong was at a loss for words and wanted to tell her husband that she wanted to take it to Liu Xiaoxi's home.
But when she thought about the last time she gave Liu Xiaoxi a cold shoulder, she felt too embarrassed to speak.
Liu Jianguo, on the other hand, reacted quickly and said clearly, "Mom said this is for my aunt's family."
He had heard his mother say this morning that they were going to deliver food to his aunt's house, and he had been looking forward to it all day. His aunt's house always had sweet candies, and he could enjoy them when he went there.
Liu Zhong was stunned. He thought about his sister moving today, and as a brother, he should go over to help. However, his brother-in-law didn't invite him to help, so he was embarrassed to go. He felt that his brother-in-law still blamed him because of the last incident, so he decided not to rush over and make things awkward.
But as a brother, it is indeed my duty to send something to my sister who just moved.
What's more, the good things that my brother-in-law gave to the old couple all went into my family's mouths. It was only right that I had to go there.
After figuring this out, he stood up, shook the water off his hands, and told his son: "Jianguo, go wash your cat face, change into clean clothes, and let's go to your aunt's house."
"Okay, Dad." When his father finally spoke, Liu Jianhua couldn't wait any longer and jumped into the house to change his clothes.
Wang Yuehong finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her husband agree. She was afraid that her husband was too shy to stay with his brother-in-law's family because of her.
My brother-in-law is very successful now, so it would be best not to offend him.
After taking a look at the vegetables in the basket, Wang Yuehong hesitated for a moment, then went to the kitchen, took out ten eggs from the ceramic pot, carefully wrapped them in cloth and placed them on top of the vegetables.
Although Liu Jianguo was small, he was quite skilled. It didn't take him long to change his clothes and wash his face clean.
"Let's go, Mom and Dad!" He couldn't wait to eat the candy.
"You little brat." Liu Zhong patted his son's furry head and rushed to carry the vegetable basket before his wife: "Let's go."
Before leaving, Wang Yuehong became timid and stammered, "I...I won't go, you know..."
Liu Zhong, however, was nonchalant: "Let's go. I don't believe my sister will still show displeasure when she sees my brother and sister-in-law coming to visit."
Wang Yuehong's cheeks flushed at Liu Zhong's words. She was indeed giving a cold shoulder to her sister who had returned to her parents' home.
But the thick-skinned Liu Zhong hadn't thought about that at all. He came over, grabbed his wife's arm and said, "Let's go quickly. Jianguo, lock the door."
Wang Yuehong had no choice but to follow her husband to Liu Xiaoxi's home.
Just after the pot was boiled, the four of them were standing in the yard to catch their breath when they heard Liu Jianguo's voice outside: "Wow, is this my aunt's new home? It looks so beautiful, much bigger than ours."
Hearing her grandson's voice, Huang Guihua subconsciously looked towards the door and saw her grandson Liu Jianhua rushing out and hugging her legs.
The son and daughter-in-law were walking behind, and the son was carrying a wicker basket on his back as he walked in from the gate.
When Liu Xiaoxi saw his brother and sister-in-law coming over, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Brother and sister-in-law, you are here? Come in quickly."
Gu Zhan also called someone with a calm expression, walked over to help Liu Zhong take off the wicker basket on his back, and welcomed him into the house.
As soon as Liu Zhong entered the house, he was attracted by the row of new furniture in the main hall. He couldn't help but touch the brand new furniture and asked excitedly, "Brother-in-law, are all these furniture new?"
"Yes." Gu Zhan responded with a smile.
"This must cost a lot of money, that's great! Why haven't you moved the furniture from my hometown here?"
Seeing her brother's happy face, Liu Xiaoxi was also infected by her mood. She smiled and explained, "There is no usable furniture in my hometown. It's just some things that are almost falling apart and missing parts."
Hearing his sister say this, Liu Zhong realized belatedly that he had lived with his brother-in-law and sister in the Gu family before. How could the Gu family really give them any good furniture?
Touching his nose awkwardly, Liu Zhong said, "That's true. What good can it be? It's still sturdy to make it yourself. Look at this Eight Immortals Table, it's so solid and stable."
Seeing the envious look in her husband's eyes, Wang Yuehong felt uncomfortable. Although her family now had food to eat, it was far worse than the life of Liu Xiaoxi and his wife.
She couldn't even imagine the things the couple gave to the elderly couple as filial gifts. If it weren't for her mother-in-law's kindness, she still wouldn't know what those things tasted like.
When you compare yourself to others, you really can’t compare!
"Wow, the windows of my aunt's house are so bright."
Liu Jianguo's innocent words interrupted everyone's thoughts, and Liu Zhong and his wife both looked at the bright window.
When Liu Zhong entered the house before, he only felt that the house was bright, but he didn't think it was because of the windows.
Now turning my head, I saw a window that was wider than an ordinary window embedded in the wall. Sunlight shone in through it, illuminating the entire room.
"Tsk, my brother-in-law is generous."
Liu Zhong no longer likes to praise how good Gu Zhan's home is.
I could only secretly wonder what my brother-in-law did for a living to make so much money.
Not only was he able to build this entire house in one go, but he was also able to arrange the furniture so perfectly.
Wang Yuehong coughed lightly, walked over to Liu Xiaoxi and said, "Xiaoxi looks a little fatter than before. This child will definitely grow up well."
Huang Guihua looked at her daughter-in-law in surprise. Seeing her daughter-in-law being friendly to her daughter, she also felt happy. A family should live in harmony, and it is never good to have a quarrel.
So at this moment, she was willing to give her daughter-in-law this face, and followed Wang Yuehong's words and said: "Now that you put it that way, it's true. Xiaoxi is having a good pregnancy, and the child loves his mother very much, and doesn't torture adults at all."
"That's what Mom said."
Wang Yuehong continued her mother-in-law's words with a smile.
"Aunt, are you pregnant with a little brother?" Liu Jianguo ran over, took Liu Xiaoxi's hand, shook it gently, and asked loudly.
Gu Zhan heard the voice, turned around and glanced at the innocent Liu Jianguo, walked over and touched Liu Jianguo's head, and said seriously: "It's my sister."
Liu Jianguo was puzzled. Didn't every aunt in the village say she was pregnant with a boy? Why did this aunt say she was pregnant with a girl?
The ignorant Liu Jianguo was taught by his uncle: "You have to talk about your sister, otherwise the little sister in your aunt's belly will hear it and will be unhappy."
Naive Liu Jianguo had no idea he had followed his uncle's words. "Ah? My sister heard it?"
"Well, my sister will hear it."
"so amazing!"
So Liu Jianguo, who changed his tone quickly, got a bag of candies that made his friends envious.
When everyone saw how devoted Gu Zhan was to his daughter, they all felt relieved for Liu Xiaoxi. As long as he didn't insist on having a son, it would be fine.
