Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 11 A Long Experience
Now that he has seen a lot, Gu Wenxuan was still amused when he returned to his room.I thought I would have trouble sleeping tonight due to one incident after another.I never wanted to lie down on the kang and fall asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.

In a daze, he heard people moving and talking outside. Gu Wenxuan was still in a daze, thinking he was still living in the villa and was wondering who came to his house.

A man stood up and immediately woke up. It was not Haozi and the others.The world is full of wonders, he traveled through it, and he and his wife became ancient people through time travel.

"Get up, it's time for dinner." Gu Erlang held his three-year-old son Xiao Changsuo and walked around the yard, holding back a smile and looking at his disheveled brother.

Zhou Erlang had a faint smell of medicine. He studied under Dr. Dong, and was later recommended to the town's Huimin Medical Center to continue his medical studies and work as a clerk.
He has not officially started teaching yet, but since he got married, in order to prevent his parents and daughter-in-law from being upset at home, he still took the initiative to hand over [-] Wen per month.

As the eldest son of the second wife, he has always protected his second brother and younger sister.At this moment, I was worried that my second brother was short of money and didn't dare to ask for something he wanted to buy.

Gu Wenxuan came out of the hut in the backyard. Hearing the words of his eldest brother who was following behind with his eldest nephew in his arms, he laughed and shook his head, "I have (money), but if I don't have enough, I'll look for you again."

"Okay." Gu Erlang handed his son to his second brother, "Don't worry about it, your sister-in-law is not a careless person, and besides, I have saved money myself."

"Have you heard this, Chang Suo? Remember to teach your mother how to learn from him. Dad has hidden a lot of his private money." Gu Wenxuan teased, picking up his eldest nephew and weighing him.

Good guy, he is worthy of being a hunter, and he also has a wife who breeds a farm at the foot of the mountain.Looking at the fat baby all over, it is really difficult for the villagers to raise this fat baby.

"Don't tell me, there will be meat to eat."

Holding the fat baby with his hands covering his mouth and shaking his head repeatedly, Gu Wenxuan took the first step away from the hut. Only then did he have time to look at the Gu family yard.

The backyard is quite small.

In addition to the latrines, cowsheds, pig pens, and chicken coops and duck coops, they occupy almost half of the backyard and even open up a large vegetable garden.

Return to the front yard from the west on one of the east and west paths.There is a row of five blue brick and tile-roofed houses in the main house, and there are three mud houses and tile-roofed wing rooms on the east and west sides.

The two rooms on the east side of the main house are occupied by the elderly couple and the fourth bedroom, and the two rooms on the west side belong to the main room.The east wing of the earthen house with a tiled roof houses the second bedroom, while the west wing opposite houses the third bedroom.

Gu Erlang hurried back to the front yard and saw Gu Wenxuan looking thoughtfully at the side rooms on both sides, "Are you worried that the third uncle and the third aunt will be unhappy if you rush to get married before Wu Lang?"

"No." Gu Wenxuan imitated him and replied quietly, "I was wondering which house should be chosen for the new house now that Wu Lang is old and Si Lang is getting married next month."

Grandma's four sons each live in their own homes, and it seems that the division is fair. However, the children are prosperous, and the grandchildren have reached the age of marrying one by one, so the room is still very tense.

A few years ago, when the children were young, they couldn't tell that the third uncle was a simple and honest man, and the third aunt would rather squeeze her two daughters and two sons, and please the eldest house and take the initiative to give up a room in the west wing.

But this year, as Ofang Shiro is getting married on the sixth day of next month, where will the wedding room be booked?We couldn't squeeze into the main room, so naturally we wanted to live in the south room in the west wing for a long time.

It just so happened that their eldest son, Wu Lang, had also reached the age where he should marry a wife. He had been murmuring about this matter some time ago, and the good third aunt even tried to break into his brother's room.

As soon as he opened his mouth, his mother made him cry. Who knows that this fake smart man knew that his mother did not please his mother-in-law, and he was so miserable in order to please his eldest aunt.

Of course, Gu Erlang knew that his brother was not referring to Shiro occupying three bedrooms and one house, but that the grandchildren below were waiting to marry one by one. The old man still didn't want to separate the family?
"Uncle, Dalang."

Gu Wenxuan understood.The old man loved his eldest son and eldest grandson deeply, but he didn't have much ability. For decades, he could only support his eldest son and eldest grandson's education and gain fame by squeezing other children and grandchildren without dividing the family.

When the uncle reached forty, he voluntarily gave up the imperial examination and found a job as a bookkeeper.Nowadays, it is only one tael of silver per month, but it is not easy to provide for a scholar.

Thinking back to the first cousin in my memory who had been studying for many years, he was not as good as an uncle but a child. Gu Dalang had already married a wife and had children, and relied on a large family to support him.

No wonder his father, as the son who contributed the most to the family, had the worst reputation, but he was helpless.

Back then, his mother had fled with her family. If it hadn't been for his father's shameless behavior, the two elders would not have been able to afford a higher gift than the average girl.

Later, when the eldest brother reached the age of marrying, he couldn't find a suitable eldest daughter-in-law as he wished unless his father dug out the bride price from the second wife and used private money to supplement it.

After understanding the twists and turns, it is not difficult to understand the memory of his father's operations that were always like a god. Even his grandson would have to work hard to help the eldest son.

The main hall.

Presented with the word "Pin", there are three tables.

At the top, there is an old man in his 60s or [-]s with a beard on his chin and wearing coarse clothes without patches. He is the head of the family, Mr. Gu Qingsen.

Like his four sons, few people in the village called him by his first name. Instead, his nickname, Sanmu, was remembered deeply, and those who didn't know it thought his surname was Mu.

Sitting on both sides and opposite were his three sons at home. Except for the eldest grandson and guests, it was one of the family rules he set that no other grandchildren could sit at the table without permission.

The female family members of the family eat directly in the kitchen unless there are special circumstances. Mrs. Gu, who is the only one present, holds the power of the family's food. She even has to share the food herself.

What I ate this morning was corn steamed buns and sweet potato porridge that reflected the silhouette of people.Adult men get two woofou, minors over ten years old get half that amount, and those who are younger get a bowl of sweet potato porridge.

After Mr. Gu picked up his chopsticks, the others began to eat.Originally, it was important to eat without speaking when eating, but the Gu family is not a wealthy family, so this family rule has long been broken.

Listening to the whispers of the cousins ​​at the two tables, Gu Wenxuan watched with great interest. He picked up the assigned buns and took a bite, almost choking to death.

His parents are gone when he is young, but he has a few uncles to help him. No matter how poor the mountain is, it is difficult to say that there is meat and fish in every meal, but he has never eaten this kind of food.

Even when the famine was at its worst a few years ago, and all the food stockpiles were used up, he and Banxia had no children to bear, and they dared to think and do, and the materials they exchanged were the best.

Who could have imagined that the days would become more and more primitive.Gu Wenxuan quickly picked up the bowl and drank the sweet potato porridge in several mouthfuls before swallowing the steamed buns.

The food that everyone here was given was not much at first. No matter how much we cherished it, it was quickly gone.When the whole family finished eating, they didn't even need to clean up the dishes.

Gu Wenxuan paid special attention and observed that after the meal, it was indeed left to the female family members of each room who were on duty that day to clean up after the meal, but it did not mean that the other female family members could be free.

It's not even the end of the day, and I still don't know what to do in the afternoon.How dare she marry Zhou Banxia if her wife sees her?It is better to trick people into the door as soon as possible.
