Chapter 59: Zhao's Reproach, Whole Chicken Banquet
Zhao said without caring about it, "Just let him play. If the child likes it, don't be restrained, don't raise it like a little girl."
Gu Shuixiu, “…”
Why did Dong Qinyan feel something was wrong when she heard this? She turned her head and looked at Zhao innocently and said, "Grandma, do you really want your third brother to play like this?"
Zhao looked at the little baby in his arms with a funny look and asked affectionately: "Is there anything wrong? Does Niu Niu want to play too? Otherwise, grandmother will catch another chicken for you!"
Dong Qinyan's little head was shaking like a rattle, and she looked resistant.
Gu Shuixiu didn't explain, so she followed Zhao's wishes. After the three of them entered the main hall, Dong Yuanzheng still wanted to play in the yard. Gu Shuixiu had to let Meijing and Miaoren look at him closely and talk to Zhao in the room.
In July, the yard was hot and sunny, but the room was extremely cool.
As soon as he entered the room, Dong Qinyan narrowed her eyes comfortably. Seeing her drowsy look, Gu Shuixiu put her on the bench beside her, and occasionally slaps her in the wind, while saying comfortably: "Mom, I haven't been back for a long time. I plan to stay for a few days when I come back this time and be filial to you at home."
Zhao gave Gu Shuixiu a angrily glance and cursed, "You are filial and we will be very happy if you can come back to see us once! I dare not expect you to stay for how long." Although he said that, the smile in Zhao's eyes could not be stopped. It is said that raising children to prevent old age. Now both sons are so far away from them, and even their married daughters are more diligent than theirs. Zhao's heart is really hard to understand.
Especially Chang Ru's mother, Gao, is now being taken to the county town for help by Chang Ming. The family is lively and the couple is lonely. Zhao sometimes wonders what Gu Mingde is insisting on? If Gu Mingde promised to leave Caozi Village, she could live with her son, and she would enjoy her grandchildren every day, and her life would not be so lonely.
Gu Shuixiu knew that Zhao was a stingy man, and she was a typical person who was insincere and did not take her words to heart at all.
After Zhao said this to Gu Shuixiu, he looked at Dong Qinyan lying beside Gu Shuixiu and whispered: "I haven't settled the score with you before! What's wrong with you? Why did you let a child as young as Niu Niu go out to find her father alone? I was so heartbroken that she was almost broken! How old she was, she was actually leaving Yongjia County alone.
Fortunately, I came back safely this time, otherwise you would regret it!" Zhao Shi scolded Gu Shuixiu and waited for her to relieve her mood before asking: "Where did Cheng Hu go? You said before that he went to do business. What business will take so many years to go out, and he actually wants the child to find him by himself! What else do you do?"
Faced with Zhao's aggressiveness, Gu Shuixiu was speechless for a moment and hesitated not knowing how to explain it. Just as the screams of chickens and the barking of dogs came from outside the door.
Gu Shuixiu suddenly stood up and changed the topic: "Mom, Yuan Zheng doesn't know what he is doing. I'll go out and take a look. You can look at Niu Niu first."
Zhao was also very curious about the situation outside, but there was still sleeping Dong Qinyan in the main hall. Zhao had to nod helplessly and asked Gu Shuixiu to go out and take a look.
After a while, Gu Shuixiu took Dong Yuanzheng's ear into the room.
Seeing Dong Yuanzheng's grin, Zhao rushed forward with heartache and knocked Gu Shuixiu's hand off, holding Dong Yuanzheng's heart-wrenching baby and coaxed him. Seeing that Dong Yuanzheng's expression returned to normal, he immediately pointed his muzzle at Gu Shuixiu, "I'm telling you what's wrong with you! The child is so young, there is nothing to say, and he has to do it. Look, the child's ears are red!"
Gu Shuixiu looked at Dong Yuanzheng who was hiding in Zhao's arms in a silent way and said expressionlessly: "Mom, let's drink chicken soup later! In addition, see if you want to eat dog meat, but you may not be able to bear it when the dog meat gets angry. You should see if this dog can still be saved!"
Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't react for a long time. He looked at the quiet yard, and then he looked down at Dong Yuanzheng in his arms, looking disbelief.
That day, Gu Mingde was so happy that he rushed home when he heard that Gu Shuixiu was back. As soon as he entered the Gu family, he shouted loudly: "The big girl is back! Have I brought my Niu Niu here?"
Zhao, who was in the main hall, laughed and scolded, quickly came out and said, "Come back when you come back, shouting loudly that people in the village are afraid that your daughter is back, don't know if you are back! Hurry up and wash and eat in the house."
Gu Mingde was in a good mood and didn't bother with Zhao. He quickly washed his hands and feet. As soon as he entered the main hall, he was completely stunned when he saw the table full of chicken banquet. He frowned and looked at Zhao, saying in disagreement: "Our family is so poor that they can't afford to eat other things. Why do you do such a table? The big girl doesn't like eating chicken."
Gu Shuixiu was holding rice and watched her parents confront each other leisurely. The look of watching the show completely left Dong Qinyan speechless.
Zhao looked like a mute eating coptis chinensis, unable to say a word. She just scolded Gu Shuixiu because she twisted Dong Yuanzheng's ear. After she saw the tragic situation in the yard, she realized that Gu Shuixiu's punishment for Dong Yuanzheng was considered light.
The big yellow dog at home that relieved her boredom is still unknown whether it is dead or alive, but the one who attacked her was her grandson. She could not beat or scold her. The palms and backs of her hands were flesh. Zhao really realized what it felt like to bite her lips!
Gu Mingde did not get Zhao's explanation, and he shook his face in dissatisfaction, as if he was about to get angry.
Seeing this, Dong Qinyan had no choice but to say helplessly: "Grandfather, don't blame my grandmother. It was the third brother who killed the chicken at home. Grandma had no choice but to cook the chicken. If we cooked anything else, we couldn't finish it. My mother said we couldn't waste food, so we just eat the chicken!"
Gu Mingde was stunned for a while. Seeing that Zhao looked like he was about to cry or not, he looked at Dong Yuanzheng, who was sitting upright, and it was really hard to accept this fact.
Because the life and death of the big yellow dog was unknown, Zhao's mood was greatly affected. Gu Shuixiu quickly asked Dong Er and others to take Dong Yuanzheng out for fun, so that he would not wander in front of Zhao, so that Zhao would not remember his sadness.
"Mom, didn't Bao'er send you a lot of things and a few letters? Have you read them?" Gu Shuixiu didn't expect Zhao to be depressed, so she changed the topic.
Speaking of Zhao Baoer, Zhao's mood has obviously improved. Zhao Baoer is now the only male member of the Zhao family. He has a promising future, and the happiest person is Zhao.
"Yes, yes, I was still thinking about this just now! Fortunately, you asked, wait, I'll get the letter now." Zhao ran to the inner courtyard excitedly, and it was windy when walking.
