"Hey, the third child is back!" Li Xiulan was feeding the pigs. She looked up and saw Chen Lishu and Gu Xingdong coming in. She was so happy that she wiped it on her apron twice and couldn't wait to greet them.
"mom."
"Hey." Li Xiulan responded, looking straight at Gu Xingdong: "I'm getting darker, and I'm also losing weight."
Gu Xingdongle: "Mom, you must have seen it wrong. I am almost the same as before."
"Don't fool me. I don't know about my own son?" Li Xiulan said and shouted loudly into the room: "Old man, come out quickly and see who is back!"
Gu Shoufu heard the voice, and when he saw it was Gu Xingdong, his happy eyes couldn't help but look him up and down: "How many more days can you stay this time?"
Gu Xingdong nodded: "I applied for half a month's leave from above so that I can stay at home with you and my mother."
When he heard that his son had half a month off, Gu Shoufu couldn't help but nodded: "Okay, I can rest at home."
"I'm going to pick some vegetables from my own plot for lunch." Li Xiulan said and went out.
Although it was still early, she had already started planning what to cook for lunch.
The two went back to the house to change clothes. Chen Lishu couldn't help but smile and touched his head twice: "Look at how enthusiastic your parents are. You have become the favorite of the family as soon as you come back."
Gu Xingdong raised his hand and grabbed her rebellious hand and said, "Don't touch a man's head and a woman's waist."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lishu muttered: "Yes, you can't touch the tiger's butt."
Gu Xingdong hissed lightly, stretched out his hand and pinched her waist, not too hard, but the flesh on Chen Lishu's waist was already sensitive, and Gu Xingdong made her want to laugh involuntarily, and quickly avoided his hand: "Don't, don't.
,itch!"
Gu Xingdong smiled: "I'll see if you dare to make trouble next time."
Chen Lishu stopped answering and turned back to the cabinet to dig out the clothes he usually wore at home: "You change slowly, I'll go help mom."
Outside, Liu Yuemin heard Li Xiulan say that she wanted to catch chickens, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Mom, let me catch them for you."
The chickens at home are usually kept for laying eggs, so during the Chinese New Year I can kill a chicken to improve things.
Ever since Chen Lishu went to the provincial capital to study, she hasn't tasted meat for a long time, let alone chicken.
"Second daughter-in-law, please calm down for a while. Little Yue, be careful if something happens to you." Li Xiulan saw her move and hurriedly stopped her.
Just as Chen Lishu and Zhang Qin came out of the house, the three of them worked together and quickly caught a reed chicken that was unable to escape.
In the evening, Gu Xingye and Gu Xingguo came back from town, and the family sat together and had a lively dinner.
After eating, Li Xiulan glanced at Chen Lishu who was cleaning up the kitchen, then went back to the kang cabinet and tinkered with it for a long time, then took something out and went all the way to Gu Xingdong's room.
"Lao San, drink this." Li Xiulan said and handed over the cup in her hand.
Gu Xingdong raised his head and saw a light yellow liquid half as high as a finger in the glass. He took it suspiciously and sniffed it. Suddenly, a strong smell of medicinal wine rushed over. Gu Xingdong frowned: "What is it?"
"I took some time in the afternoon to go to your uncle's house, Lao Li, in the front yard to ask for medicinal wine. Mom told you, your body looks strong, but in fact, you have been exposed to the weather in the past few years and you can't eat well or sleep well.
It's a big deficit. Look at your two older brothers and the fourth child who are always by your mother's side. Your body is really strong."
None of the other three sons were conceived by my wife just after they got married, except for the third, who has been married for more than two years. There is no movement in my wife's belly. Although she usually doesn't say it, she is actually quite anxious.
After hearing what she said, Gu Xingdong felt dumbfounded: "Mom, what are you thinking about? I'm in good health and I don't need this thing at all."
Seeing him pushing away, Li Xiulan's face suddenly sank: "Let me tell you, it took me a lot of effort to get this stuff back. No matter how many people asked for it, they wouldn't give it to me. Drink it quickly. Don't rely on your youth."
Take your own body seriously, and you will suffer the consequences if you don't listen to the old man. Sooner or later, you will regret it. I..."
Seeing that Li Xiulan was about to give a long lecture, Gu Xingdong had no choice but to raise his neck and drink up all the wine in his hand.
After taking the medicinal wine, Gu Xingdong felt a burning sensation going down his throat and into his stomach, and his whole body was slightly aroused.
When Li Xiulan saw this, she smiled with satisfaction: "It's just half a month of vacation, so I'll be at home with my mother to nurse you back."
When she thought of something, she warned her before going out: "Don't tell your wife about the medicinal wine I gave you. Men and women are different. It would be bad if Lishu gets stressed."
Gu Xingdong nodded: "I understand, Mom."
Chen Lishu cleaned up the kitchen and just walked to the door when Gu Xingping suddenly came out of her room and called: "Sister-in-law, come here and let me ask you something."
Gu Xingdong was always full of energy, but after drinking the medicinal wine, he felt even more hot all over. He heard Chen Lishu's steps outside the door before he could be happy. When he heard Gu Xingping calling someone, he frowned: "Lishu, give me the book I brought back."
Where did it go?"
Gu Xingping heard her third brother calling for someone and smiled at Chen Lishu: "Sister-in-law, please go over first. I'm not in a hurry here."
Chen Lishu nodded, turned around and pushed the door open. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Gu Xingdong sitting upright by the kang, with water still shining on his forehead.
Although it was getting late, the room was still a bit stuffy, so Chen Lishu didn't think much and bent over to find a book for him in the chest of drawers.
"You can see it when you open the cabinet door. It's so conspicuous that you have to call me over."
Chen Lishu said and handed the book to Gu Xingdong, turned around and was about to go out, when suddenly her arms tightened and her whole body was strongly pulled backwards, and the next second she fell into a hot embrace.
Gu Xingping waited for a long time but Chen Lishu didn't come out. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she was stopped by Li Xiulan, who had been paying attention to the sound: "Xingping, come here and give Mom the line."
"Oh." Gu Xingping raised her leg and walked over without doubting that he was there.
…
Early in the morning, Widow Liu went to Zhao Ergou's house as usual. After Liu Dabao's accident, she made trouble with all the suspicious people, and finally found that the most suspicious person was Zhao Ergou.
As soon as Zhao Ergou saw her coming again, he immediately said, "Auntie, I beg you, I really didn't hit your eldest daughter's leg. If I really did that, would I have a son?"
Butthole, don’t let it die, okay?”
Widow Liu ignored his vows and sat down on the doorstep of their house: "Dabao said, no one else can handle this except you. Either you pay fifty yuan and it's over, or I'll come here every day."
Zhao Ergou was so angry that he asked for fifty yuan as soon as he opened his mouth. This old woman was typical of blackmailing people because she couldn't afford to live.
"Auntie, it's not my second dog who broke Brother Dabao's leg. When I went home to find him that day, I met Chen Lishu, the eldest son of the Chen family. If you think about the grudge between your two families, she must have done this.
"Zhao Ergou's wife on the side suddenly said.
Widow Liu looked up doubtfully after hearing her words: "Did you see it?"
In order to prevent others from making trouble again, Zhao Ergou's wife nodded and said with certainty: "I really saw it."
"What a little whore! She is so capable. She dares to beat my son and see if I can make her live a peaceful life!" When she found out that it was Chen Lishu, Widow Liu was furious and left the courtyard while cursing.
