Chapter 9 The complicated uncle’s family
My uncle and his wife were fertile, and they gave birth to five sons and three daughters. The eldest cousin and his wife gave birth to five more sons, the second cousin and his wife had three sons and six daughters, the third cousin had two daughters and a son, the fourth cousin had three sons and three daughters, and the fifth cousin had two daughters.

There are so many children, and the nephews who have grown up before are also getting married and having children. How can one grow enough food for so many people in such a small amount of land? I heard that my uncle's family rented land from Landlord Ma for farming, and they had to pay 60% of the rent a year, so their life was very tight.

Grandma said to Gu Yu: "Yu'er, take the pig head and liver to the kitchen and give them to your aunt, so she can fry some vegetables for lunch." She also took a large piece of fat meat, "Take this piece too. "

Gu Yu obediently carried the meat into the kitchen and handed it to his aunt who was choosing vegetables. The eldest aunt is a gentle and generous woman, but her hard life has left her with a lot of wrinkles on her face.

He found a wooden basin to put the meat in and asked Gu Yu: "What happened yesterday? Why did you encounter a herd of wild boars outside the mountain?"

Gu Yu explained: "There has been a lot of rain recently and the plants in the mountains are growing well. I guess these four wild boars came out to look for food and I ran into them."

The eldest aunt nodded: "What you said makes sense." She added: "When we went to work in the fields, we encountered a lot more worms. Old Yangtou in the village was even bitten by a worm..."

Mrs. Yang and her grandmother were chatting in the house, but Gu Yu simply refused to go in and just helped her aunt cut meat and vegetables in the kitchen.

They were chatting. She was one year older than Gu Yu and was nineteen this year. When her niece Yang Liuya saw Gu Yu's unpatched dress and the bracelet on her hand, her eyes darkened, revealing that There was a hint of jealousy and hatred that was not easy to detect.

Gu Yu noticed the scorching gaze. She turned around and met Yang Liuya's hateful eyes, and softly shouted: "Liuya."

Yang Liuya just responded with a "hmm" through his nose and lit the fire silently, without even looking at Gu Yu.

Gu Yu: "..."

This niece is introverted and taciturn, but she is not so rude! Besides, he didn't offend her, why would he be so embarrassed?
While Gu Yu was chopping vegetables, he noticed the newly bought bracelet on his hand and glanced at his cousin inadvertently.

She remembered that she had heard her grandmother and grandfather say that they had suggested that Gu Wu and his wife adopt a child. She was not born yet at that time. She did not know the specific situation. She only knew that when she grew up, she came to her grandfather's house with Gu Wu and his wife. He once joked that if she had not been born, the Gu Wu couple might have adopted a brother or sister.

When Liuya was playing with her when she was a child, she once said that without her, Liuya would become the child of Gu Wu and his wife.

Now seeing that Liuya's clothes were washed white and patched, Gu Yu couldn't help but wonder if Liuya really took what he said as a child seriously.

Their living situations are very different. Did Liuya hate her because of this? ?
Gu Yu thought that if Liuya really took what she said as a child seriously, it would be too naive.

In this era, family inheritance and property are extremely important things in people's minds. Even if Gu Wu really wants to adopt a child, she will never adopt a child from the Yang family. Instead, she will let her second cousin Gu Jianping inherit Gu Wu's legacy, or choose a child from the family to raise.

This concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and almost everyone will agree with it. How could the Gu family let their property fall into the hands of foreigners?
If Liuya is really serious, she might as well think more about how to create a better life with her own efforts instead of thinking about these shadowless things.

The resources of the uncle's family are limited, and what is allocated to everyone is calculated carefully. If Yang Liuya wants to live a good life at home, he must work hard.

At this moment, Gu Yu was very happy that his grandparents only gave birth to two children, his aunt and his father. This way, the family relationship was simple and life was easier.

Gu Yu observed that in this era, although the concept of clan is very important, having more children is not better. Too many children will only make life more difficult. Their family and relatives, such as my grandfather's brothers and sisters, although they don't have many children, are living a pretty good life.

At noon, the uncle and his party who had gone out to work came back. They were very happy to see uncle Gu Yu and said: "Xiaoyu, you are here! Did you come with your parents?"

Gu Yu repeated what she had said to her grandparents again. Her uncle told her that there had been a lot of rain and wild animals in the mountains recently, and she could not go into the mountains alone in the future.

Although Gu Yu's ears felt calluses from hearing it, she knew that her uncle cared about her, so she responded respectfully: "Yes, yes, I know."

During the meal, because there were too many people, three tables were set up. Gu Yu sat at a table with Mrs. Yang, her grandmother, aunt, cousin, and several older cousins.

Seeing everyone picking up the dishes quickly, Gu Yu just wanted to put down his chopsticks, but found that the place where he put his chopsticks was occupied by others, and the dishes were taken away by Yang Liuya.

At the dining table, Gu Yu calmly picked up a dish with chopsticks and took a bite of rice. However, the next three times when picking up food, Yang Liuya took the same dish away from the chopsticks without moving.

She looked at Yang Liuya, but Liuya turned his head away without looking at her.

Gu Yu felt a little dissatisfied. She felt that Yang Liuya seemed to have something wrong with him. He always took her food away from her. She wanted to teach Yang Liuya a lesson, but she looked at Yang, Gu Wu and her grandparents, and ultimately did not give up. The idea of ​​breaking his leg and causing Yang Liuya to fall over.

She felt that they were here to see her grandparents and there was no need to argue with Yang Liuya. Moreover, she also felt that it was wrong to waste food when eating. So, I cursed "bad luck" in my heart and continued eating.

Mrs. Yang had been observing Gu Yu and noticed this little episode. She glanced at Yang Liuya and her second nephew's daughter-in-law, who was eating and drinking on her own: the second nephew was pretty nice, and she called her sweetly every time she came home. "Aunt", but this niece-in-law is not very good. She feels that Liuya has been developed into the habit of being silent and making small moves behind her back, and she is inseparable from her second nephew-in-law.

I couldn't help but sigh, the eldest brother and his wife are both honest people, why did they marry such a daughter-in-law? How will my nephew live in the future?

At the dinner table, Gu Yu saw the dishes disappearing in a swirling cloud, so he ate faster and stopped eating after finishing one bowl.

Seeing her put down the bowl and chopsticks, grandma asked, "Yu'er, are you full after just one bowl? There is still rice in the steamer. If it's not enough, go ahead and fill it up. Don't be shy when you come to grandma's house."

Gu Yu shook her head and said, "When we went out in the morning, my mother made breakfast and came here after I had eaten my fill."

Of course, she would not tell her grandma that she disliked Yang Liuya for trying to grab the food for her. With so many people eating together, the food was served too quickly and she was not in the mood to eat.

After having breakfast in the morning, I went out. After walking for such a long time, how could I not be hungry? Yang guessed that there must be a reason why her daughter only ate one bowl, so she casually found an excuse for Gu Yu and said to her grandmother: "Mom, we went out after breakfast in the morning and ate something in the town. Don't worry about Xiao Yu." Let her play by herself."

After hearing this, grandma believed it a little and went to eat her own meal.

Gu Yu didn't want to stay at home any longer, so she waited for the dishes and chopsticks to be put away, and stayed for a while to say goodbye to her grandparents. When she came to the town, she smelled the aroma of meat buns coming over and her stomach growled and said: "Mom, I'm not full, I'm hungry." ”
