Road to Rebirth

Chapter 104

Early in the morning on April [-]th.

Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai got up and got busy.

Gu Ruhai wore new clothes, a light gray top and dark blue pants, with a smile on his face, cigarettes and matches in his pockets.

The waist that was originally a bit hunched, will be straightened now.

There is a lot of energy and spirit in it, and it looks like a few years younger all of a sudden.

Standing at the gate and looking at the bright red couplets and blessing characters, I smoothed and smoothed them with my hands, for fear that the corners would be uneven.

Take a broom and sweep the gate clean.

Two hanging firecrackers with [-] rings have been picked up on the door with bamboo poles, and they will start to be set off after a while.

Several second kickers are also placed in conspicuous places next to the roadside.

Under the shed in the yard, a row of tables were set up, and there were only four tables in the yard, which were for entertaining relatives inside, such as parents, brothers and sisters, or relatives from different places in the two families.

Outside the yard along the side of the road, there were also a dozen or so tables left.

On the table were two plates of melon seeds and peanuts, and a bottle of burning knives.

These are the most commonly used things in the farmhouse to entertain guests. They are neither high nor low.

The big stove in the yard has been busy for a long time.

More than a dozen daughters-in-law are helping to wash and chop vegetables. The pot stove is where the famous noodle maker in the village is cooking things. On the other side of the stove, the scent from the steamer from time to time is that it has been prepared a long time ago. steamed bowl of vegetables.

The fragrance drifted away after a while.

It was less than eight o'clock, and people had already started to come to the door.

Brothers Gu Ruhai and Li Weimin Li Weiqiang greeted at the door.

Sit down one by one.

The daughters-in-law here are busy while they are busy.

"Sister-in-law Gu, you are enjoying a blessing. Who in the whole village has your blessing now."

The person who spoke was the widow Li Er from the village who was washing vegetables, her tone was sour, not to mention envious, it must be impossible, whose daughter-in-law is now envious of Li Xuemei.

There are only a handful of people in the village who can afford to build a house in just half a year, and it is a small building on the second floor, which is the first in Gujiazhuang.

Every woman is envious.

Marrying such a man, whose woman is not nagging at home endlessly.

"That's right, Xuemei, you just built the big tile-roofed house quietly, and it's still a small second floor, so you won't let us live."

This person who spoke was Gu Guihua, a well-known big mouth in the village. Only if anyone in the village had something, she could know it here, and everyone in the village who would spread the word knew it.

It is the big horn in the village.

Li Xuemei marinated all the fish in her hand with a smile, put the lid on and put it aside, and said: "Don't say that I am blessed, you are all blessed too, you have been blessed for more than ten years, and I, this It’s not just living, how can this be compared.”

Li Xuemei's ability to speak is also a tough one.

For so many years in the family, the women in the village are more consoling and ridiculing than herself, and they may be envied by others, which is something Li Xuemei has never thought about in her life.

I didn't even dare to think about it.

Mrs. Zhang said, "Don't be envious of others, and don't look at how hard Xuemei's family is. They walk on it every day before the sun comes out. That wheelbarrow is easy to push, and they don't come back until dark at night. If you want to enjoy the blessings of others, you have to think about how they got here every day."

While placing the kneaded rice cakes on the grate by hand, it will be fried in a frying pan after a while.

Gu Guihua sighed and said: "I also know that Xuemei lived her life in a bad way for the first few years, and she has suffered a lot, but seeing how beautiful Xuemei's life has become, who would not envy her. Just talking about it, who doesn't know the difficulties in the heart. It's not that Xuemei is hoping that if life is too hard, she can still think about helping us sisters who are still suffering."

Gu Guihua's words are also in the hearts of many people. Everyone in this village does not want to have more spare money, but not everyone can do this business.

So this envy is not something everyone can envy. ,

"Hmph, it's just a business, Xuemei, I heard that the way of doing business is inherited from your family, and your parents are also kind-hearted. You dare to use this secret recipe for your son-in-law, and you are not afraid that your son-in-law will be a white-eyed wolf." .”

It was Liu Mei from the village who said this, and Gu Daudao's daughter-in-law. These two are the most famous idlers and lazy people in the village.

It is always known that everyone loves to take advantage and loves to be lazy.

Today, the couple arrived very early, just to have three meals a day.

I came this morning and didn't do any work, but Liu Mei had already eaten two bowls of noodles and a big steamed bun, and Li Xuemei couldn't help but say in front of everyone, don't eat it.

At this moment, they started to pick things up again.

Both Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Xiaoying are here to help. The two girls cleaned up the table and arranged things early in the morning.

Gu Xiaoqing just walked in to take the plate, and when he heard this, he was unhappy, who said that, what kind of white-eyed wolf?
If someone talks like this, is this coming to congratulate others, or to add trouble.

Li Xuemei couldn't say anything.

Others next to it are hard to say.

They are all from the same village. Besides, Liu Mei’s mouth is like a poisonous snake. If you don’t speak harshly, they can block you to death. If you speak harshly, Liu Mei will cry for you immediately. You seem to be bullying The kind of grievance that others have seen hundreds of times.

Ordinary people would not want to provoke such a person without incident.

Li Xuemei didn't want Liu Mei to come to help at first, but he came here uninvited, so you can still drive him out if he comes to your door.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Mei got more excited. She opened the cage cloth on the cut cold dish, picked up a piece of cut roast chicken drumstick and took a bite, and said triumphantly: " Xuemei, the taste of your roast chicken is not very good, the chicken is a bit old and tastes a bit salty. If I hadn’t tasted it for you first, the villagers would not let it go.”

Gu Xiaoqing went up, snatched the cage cloth from Liu Mei's hand and covered it, Liu Mei trembled in fright, and when she came back to her senses and saw that it was Gu Xiaoqing, she lost face, "Your girl is terrible!" Teach me well, look at this vicious person, you have to call me aunt when it comes to talking about it, it will be difficult to talk about your husband's family in the future because of the way you look at your elders."

"Since you are worthy of being called your aunt, just do what an aunt should do. I have never seen an aunt who stuffs things from other people's homes into her mouth. These things are all there, aren't they?" You can’t eat it, but the guests didn’t come. You want others to come and eat your leftovers. Then we can’t afford it. You sit outside. A master like you really can’t be used here. "Gu Xiaoqing doesn't give a good face. The more humble you are, the more you will rush to this kind of person.
