Chapter Forty-Four
Guo Quanfa misses his grandfather. It turns out that his grandfather has been gone for nearly two years. In the past two years, his father and stepmother have given Quanfa and his wife a lot of trouble. The couple endured it and waited for his grandfather to come back. They thought that he would definitely be able to come back.
He is the backbone of this family. Without grandpa, the sky would fall.
It turned out that Guo Shanren just wanted to make Guo Ziyi angry. He knew that there were a lot of silver coins in the family, and as long as the old man could give him some, he would be satisfied. Unexpectedly, the fire was too strong and made the old man crazy, so he simply gave up all the silver coins in the house.
They all moved out, and the old man also ran away from home. Guo Shanren got nothing and lost all his personal wealth. However, Guo Shanren still did not give up. He dug three feet of ground in half a year, worked hard, and sifted through everything in the house.
, and no copper coins were found. Guo Shanren was not stupid. He knew where Guo Ziyi and Guo Quanfa had transferred the silver coins at home, but he could not directly go to the donkey to open his mouth. The call donkey could politely say that he did not know about this, and you are welcome.
Guo Shanren made false accusations against him, and after much deliberation, he could only humble himself and beg his son Guo Quanfa. In fact, Guo Shanren didn't want all the silver coins. As long as Quanfa could give him a little, it would be enough for Guo Shanren's family of three.
Who knew that Nian Cuiying came forward and asked her father-in-law: "Why do you say that grandpa and Quanfa took the silver coins away from the house? My father-in-law has been ruined by all the little wealth in the family! Ask around on Fengqi Street, who doesn't know Guo Shanren?
His name? He takes advantage of everything from food, drink, prostitution and gambling. Now he has brought home a stepmother with shady backgrounds for us. How can he be so arrogant in front of us?"?!
The peony red scolded through the window: "Your mother is not on the right track!" The two children in the East and West Houses cried together, and the Guo family's yard became a mess.
Guo Shanren had no choice but to scoop out the old grain accumulated at home, put it into sacks, put it on a mule and transport it to Wagou Town to sell it and sell some scraps to support the family. Since the birth of her son, Mudanhong has never been with Guo Shanhong again.
Good people mess around, especially after hearing about the misfortune of my junior sister Shan Shaoyao, I feel that a dirty woman is just a dish on a man's table. A man behaves like a dog when he loves you, but once you fall out of favor, he is worse than a dog. I owe my good fortune to Guo Shanren
With such a supporter and a son, it’s good to be in this situation. If you can’t aim too high, what will happen even if you marry into a wealthy family? It’s nothing more than being someone’s little wife. Instead of living a lowly life, it’s better to live a shabby life.
But she was able to control her own destiny. Thinking of this, Peony Hong felt at peace, and she was determined to become Guo Shanren's woman.
In an instant, the autumn harvest came, and Nian Cuiying's belly began to bulge again. Guo Shanren had no other income and could only live by collecting land rent. He had already informed his son Quanfa in advance that Guo Quanfa would not be able to get any part of this year's land rent.
In fact, Guo Quanfa never thought about collecting land rent. He has grown up and his shoulders have become more and more broad. He picked up the old man's big man and went up to the mountain to dig the land and planted more than ten acres of rice valley. There were several heavy rains in the dog days, and the crops in the valley grew wildly.
A prosperous year.
When there was a market meeting in Wagou Town, Guo Quanfa took some money from his father-in-law and drove a mule to buy medicinal materials. One mule had been ridden away by his grandfather, leaving only one mule. The father and son could do whatever they wanted. Guo Quanfa took on the responsibility of feeding the mule alone.
, anyway, men are mature and have plenty of strength, so it doesn’t matter if they use a little more. But that day, Guo Shanren actually took the mule to the livestock market and sold it without consulting Guo Quanfa beforehand. When Guo Quanfa found out, he didn’t say anything and bought it for himself.
I bought a donkey, caught up with it during the market, collected the medicinal materials, and carried them to the mule and horse shop outside the east gate of Fengqi Town to sell them to porters who were transporting mountain goods to Chang'an. I also inquired about my grandfather's whereabouts.
Some porters told Guo Quanfa that they saw his grandfather doing medicinal materials business in a market town in Inner Mongolia. Guo Quanfa had the desire to go to Inner Mongolia to find his grandfather. After returning home, he discussed it with his wife Nian Cuiying, who patted his big belly.
He said, "If you want to leave, take me with you." His first son was under one year old, and his second child was about to be born. Guo Quanfa knew he couldn't live without her, so he gave up the idea of going to Inner Mongolia.
When he got up in the morning, Guo Quanfa held back his urine, walked into the latrine with his pants up, rubbed his eyes, took out the dick and ejaculated. Suddenly he heard someone screaming and cursing: "Guo Quanfa, I will be your ancestor!" Guo Quanfa opened his eyes and saw that it turned out that
The stepmother, Mudanhong, was squatting in the latrine with her vagina shining brightly. He aimed his penis at Mudanhong's forehead and ejaculated all over Mudanhong's face.
Peonyhong cried and ran into the house. Guo Shanren hadn't gotten up yet. He immediately lifted Guo Shanren's quilt, picked up the rolling pin from the chopping board, and hit Guo Shanren on his bare back. Guo Shanren hadn't figured out what was going on.
What happened was that he was beaten a few times for no reason. He hugged his head and hid in the corner of the kang. While begging for mercy, he asked: "Stop hitting me, be careful not to scare the baby. What's going on? Please explain to us."
The child woke up and burst into tears. Peonyhong refused to let go and cried: "Guo Shanren, please open your dog eyes and take a look. Your son is shitting and peeing on my head. If you don't care about this matter, I will do it."
Die in front of you”!
Guo Quanfa knew that he had made a big mistake. No one would forgive such a thing easily. He tied his trousers and stood in the yard for a while. When he heard his stepmother beating his father in the house, he opened the door and faced back.
Mother knelt down and called Mudanhong for the first time: "Mom, I really didn't see anyone in the latrine. It's my fault. If you want to, just hit me as many times as you want. Don't get angry at my father."
Guo Shanren finally figured out what was going on and felt that the problem was indeed serious, but he believed that Guo Quanfa definitely did not mean it. Such an embarrassing thing almost happened to Guo Shanren once. He once took off his belt while walking towards the latrine. Fortunately, his son
Nian Cuiying, his daughter-in-law, was smart and squatted in the hut and coughed loudly. In order to vent his anger for Mu Danhong, Guo Shanren took Mu Danhong's rolling pin, jumped off the kang, and hit Guo Quanfa on the back several times. His daughter-in-law Nian Cuiying came in.
Standing between the father and son, he said with a big belly: "Dad, if you want to hit me, hit me. If you are angry, just come at me." Guo Shanren saw that he was standing naked in front of his daughter-in-law, and quickly turned around, his face swollen.
Pork liver.
The matter was far from over. That morning, Nian Cuiying got up, picked up the urinal and left the house. As soon as she stepped out of the threshold, her foot slipped. She quickly held on to the door frame and stood still. The urinal rolled far away, and a piercing sound erupted in the yard.
There was a loud noise, and she lowered her head to see who had pooped at the door of her house.
Needless to say, it was Mudanhong who did this. Fortunately, Nian Cuiying was smart. Otherwise, if she had fallen, the baby in her belly might not have been saved. Nian Cuiying still had some tricks up her sleeve. Instead of yelling, she came to
I said to my father-in-law through the window: "Dad, please get up, your stomach hurts all over."
After all, they are father and son, and it is impossible for his father to ignore his son's illness. Guo Shanren sat up, got dressed and got off the bed, but Mudanhong grabbed the sleeves of his clothes and refused to let him go. Guo Shanren was a little angry, so he pushed Mudanhong away and went out of the house to see his daughter-in-law.
Standing in the middle of the yard with a big belly, he pointed at the poop at the door of his house and said, "Dad, what do you think of this matter?"
Guo Shanren knew clearly that this was Mudanhong's revenge, but he couldn't say anything. He had to take a shovel and shovel away the poop that Mudanhong had left at the door of his son-in-law.
He said to his father: "Let me shovel it. This matter is settled and it will never happen again in the future."
It seemed that the courtyard could no longer be lived in, so Guo Quanfa and his wife Nian Cuiying agreed to build a few thatched huts in the village after the Spring Festival and the couple would move out.
But he couldn't wait until the next year. That night, Guo Shanren called Quanfa into Guo Ziyi's study and said to his son: "When a tree branches out, children branch out. It's natural for you to move out. From now on, chickens will plow backwards and pigs will move forward."
The front arch, let’s each take care of ourselves.”
Guo Quanfa didn't say anything. He walked out of the house and stood in the middle of the village. The Chinese New Year was coming soon. The village was filled with the sticky smell of the New Year. Other families were looking forward to reunion during the New Year, but his father drove him out during the New Year. But he would not ask his father for anything.
A man's shoulders can bear the weight of a mountain! Seeing that the thatched house of Dougua's house was relatively spacious, he walked into Dougua's house. Dougua's father and mother were both there, and Quanfa spoke very directly: "Uncle, aunt, my father took care of me."
Our family has been evicted, and I want to move into your yard to live temporarily for a while. After the Chinese New Year, I will build a hut for myself."
Dougua dad handed the tobacco bag to Quan Fa, who took it, filled a pot of dry tobacco, and lit it with a fire sickle (a kind of igniting tool, used to start a fire.). After smoking a pot of cigarettes, Dou Gua dad said:
"I need to discuss this matter with the old shopkeeper (Guo Shanren) first."
Guo Quanfa said nothing more, left Dougua's house, returned to his house, and said to his wife Cuiying: "Get ready, let's move." Cuiying was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she threw the copper urinal into the yard, causing an explosion.
There was a harsh echo. Mudanhong wanted to come out and scold Cuiying, but Guo Shanren stopped her and hugged her. Guo Quanfa also stopped Cuiying to prevent Cuiying from making the matter bigger. Before Dougua's father could reply, Guo Quanfa put the quilt on
They moved to the yard, spread the bean straw in the yard, and built a hut with a few wooden rafters. The family lived in the hut. When it got dark, Dougua Niang came and asked Guo Quanfa to move into her house.
Live in a thatched hut.
Unexpectedly, all the people in the village came to visit Guo Quanfa and his wife, and scolded Guo Shanren for his bad behavior. They kicked Quanfa and his wife out on the twelfth lunar month. Everyone discussed Guo Ziyi's various good deeds and looked dismissive of Guo Shanren. Villagers, you
Carrying a liter of millet, he took two bowls. Everyone came from the refugee camp and helped each other, which became the custom of Guo Yu Village. Guo Quanfa said nothing. He couldn't go along with it and scold his father. However, Cuiying's mouth was not clear.
Forgive me, I scolded Guo Shanren and Mudanhong until they lost all their popularity.
After getting up the next morning, Guo Quanfa called his donkey to go to the market. He first bought two bushels of wheat. The child was still young and his wife was in labor. He couldn't treat Cuiying badly and asked his wife and the child to eat well. Then he bought pots, pans and other things.
I bought them all, and when it got dark, I went home with two baskets full of daily necessities. I saw Dougua Niang and Cuiying sitting together and talking. In the yard, Dougua was playing with Banao. The two children were seven or eight years old at the time.
Wealthy families have long sent their children to school, but children as old as Guo Yucun are everywhere in the village. Only the Guo family among the older generation is literate, and only Guo Quanfa among the younger generation has attended private school for several years. Every household in the village
The chimneys are smoking every day, and no one cares about the future. Spring planting and autumn harvest are an eternal law. No one can resist the natural law of birth, aging, sickness and death. Yesterday the sun came out from the east, and today the sun still comes out from the east. But people
You have your own moral bottom line, which is integrity.
Soon, Nian Cuiying gave birth to another son, named Guo Wenxuan.
At noon on New Year's Eve, everyone went to the grave to worship their ancestors. Guo Quanfa placed the sacrifices he brought in front of his mother's grave and kowtowed to the ancestors of the Guo family and his mother. Suddenly a figure flashed and he saw it was his father. His father saw Quanfa.
Going to the grave, he deliberately avoided it. After going to the grave, Quanfa walked back and thought: Dad is still his father after all, and a word "Guo" can't change it...
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Guo Quanfa dressed up and came to the Guo family's old house early. When he saw that the door was not open, he shouted inside: Dad, I am Quanfa, and I am here to pay you New Year greetings. There was silence in the compound, and Guo Quanfa was there again.
I shouted once. After a long pause, I heard my father talking in the yard: "Go back, I can't bear your kowtow."
Guo Quanfa knelt down towards the closed door and never got up. He was thinking, not only did I wish my father a happy New Year, but there was also my grandfather’s study in the yard... This was not a courtesy, but a responsibility. Guo Quanfa belonged to the Guo family.
Descendants, upholding the responsibility of continuing the incense. The villagers all got up and walked around the Guo family courtyard. Seeing that the Guo family's door was closed, Guo Quanfa knelt outside the door. Everyone spat at the door, saying that Guo Shanren
She married him to a "pure mother" (referring to her younger brother), but she didn't even recognize her biological son.
The door of the Guo family finally opened, and Guo Shanren came out and bowed to the villagers with fists in his hands. He said that every Taoist family has a difficult scripture to recite. He didn't want to tell anyone about the Guo family's home, and he couldn't tell anyone clearly...
