Road to Rebirth

Chapter 16 Here Comes
back home.

There are electric lights now, but the lights in Gu Xiaoqing's house are small light bulbs with only five watts, and the brightness is basically a dim yellow.

It's nice to see people.

If you want to see clearly, don’t think about it.

Putting down the things in her hands, Li Xuemei went into the kitchen to do some work, the whole family was hungry.

I fried a shredded potato, vacated a basket of steamed buns, and burned a pot of corn batter, and dinner was ready.

The whole family ate deliciously around the table.

Looking at the three children who were working hard, Gu Ruhai felt bitter in his heart.

Drinking the cornmeal in his mouth is not a good taste either.

Glancing at Li Xuemei who was serving food for each of the children, she asked bitterly, "Mother, have you borrowed the money yet?"

If he didn't borrow it, Gu Ruhai still thought about asking his brother Gu Rushan. Over the years, Gu Rushan also asked his family to borrow a lot of money, so let Xiaoqing go to the head office first to pay back some money.

I don't want him to pay it back right away, as long as a few dollars, it shouldn't miss the matter of the second family.

Li Xuemei knew what Gu Ruhai was thinking when she saw Gu Ruhai's expression.

They've been married for so many years, yet they still don't know Gu Ruhai's thoughts.

He said angrily, "I didn't borrow it."

Gu Ruhai sighed.

He drank the corn mush in the bowl in two gulps, didn't even eat the black-faced steamed buns, so he put down the bowl, took his clothes and went out.

Li Xuemei was taken aback, wondering what she was doing.

Hurrying up behind him, when Gu Ruhai was leaving the hospital, he asked, "Father, where are you going?"

In return, Gu Ruhai replied in a dull voice: "His second uncle just came back in the afternoon, so I'll go over and have a chat."

People disappear into the darkness.

There are no street lights or anything in the countryside at this moment. When it gets dark, the outside is full of lights and ignorance. Generally, if there is no urgent matter, people really won’t go out.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuemei turned around and went back to the house to clean up the dishes.

I know what the result will be if I go, so I still don't give up.

Just wait, I went to the second uncle's house tonight, and his grandma will come to the door tomorrow.

Enough is enough.

It seems that the children's dumplings will not be eaten tomorrow.

When Gu Xiaoqing heard Gu Ruhai's words, he was secretly amused.

My mother is amazing, such a sentence can also drive my father to death.

This is to ask the second uncle for money.

But according to Gu Xiaoqing's understanding of his second uncle Gu Rushan and second aunt Jiang Xiangyun, this trip must have been fruitless.

Moreover, theoretically, my father's outbreak this time may provoke a huge backlash from my grandma. Tomorrow should be a day full of disasters.

But Gu Xiaoqing was already prepared in her heart. If grandma dared to come tomorrow, she would be able to block the two of them so that they could not speak.

You can't be so biased that you don't take anything seriously.

This is already liberated, and it's not the old society where the mother-in-law, who didn't have the old customs, suppressed the things that the daughter-in-law couldn't get ahead.

There is no such thing that children and grandchildren can't easily speak up to contradict, and there are not a few people in the village who are not filial to contradict the elderly.

It's not that Gu Xiaoqing is not filial, it's that Gu Xiaoqing doesn't want to be filial.

If things go on like this, my family will be ruined because of a filial hat, why should I be filial.

No matter how filial you are, you have to live filially.

People want you to die, but you still cling to filial piety, that's not filial piety, that's a fool.

Coincidentally, Gu Ruhai's departure tonight can be regarded as a lesson, let the old man see the real face of his second uncle Gu Rushan, and see what brotherhood is.

Take a look at what Gu Ruhai believes in most in this world, what kind of family help each other, and what it looks like.

It's a good thing.

I don't know what happened after Gu Ruhai left, anyway, an hour later, Gu Ruhai came back angrily, sat alone under the jujube tree in the yard with a dark face, and smoked cigarettes for most of the night.

The next day, because the work in the field was basically finished, there was nothing to do, and the whole family was at home. This was Gu Ruhai's most leisurely day in recent days.

He had just eaten breakfast, it should be said that he hadn't finished his breakfast yet, halfway through, his grandma appeared at the gate of Gu Ruhai's courtyard.

"Boss, Boss, stay at home, father and mother miss you, come and see you."

This loud voice belonged to second uncle Gu Rushan.

Gu Xiaoqing drank the porridge in two mouthfuls, and Gu Xiaoying and Gu Xiaoying started to clean up the dishes.

As soon as the table was wiped clean, grandfather Gu Daqing and grandmother Liu Sannv walked in.

Gu Ruhai had already greeted her out.

"Father, mother, why are you here so early in the morning?"

Gu Ruhai is also strange,

Parents are not people who come to visit the house, they only come to their house when they have something to do.

Of course, Gu Ruhai knew Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu very well.

"Yeah, let's take a look at you. His second uncle just came back, and he heard that we missed you, so he came here together."

When Mr. Gu was young, he was a man of culture. To put it bluntly, he had passed the examination of a scholar, so he was considered a bit knowledgeable, and he was considered a capable person in the village.

A very good looking person.

Gu Ruhai smiled, and shouted to Gu Xiaoying: "Yingzi, move a stool for your grandma."

Gu Xiaoying agreed, and moved out two benches from the main room.

They don’t have chairs in their house. This kind of four-legged bench is also made by the neighbor next door, Uncle Fan Huzi, who is a carpenter. He saw their family always squatting by the door to eat, so he gave them two. bench.

Although it is left over from someone else's family, it is also a favor.

The second uncle Gu Rushan saw that there were only two stools, so he snorted and scolded, "Look, big brother, you live like this, even your younger brother comes to the door, and you don't even have a stool, and you even use it for a little girl to study. I don't know what you think?"

Then he sat on the stone at the entrance of the hall in the courtyard, took out a pack of cigarettes in his pocket, took out one and handed it to his grandfather Gu Daqing, then lit one himself, completely ignoring Gu Ruhai who was on the side.

Gu Ruhai's face turned pale. It's really uncomfortable for an older brother to be scolded by his own younger brother, and Gu Rushan didn't even say a word about the cigarette just now.

It wasn't that Gu Ruhai cared about the cigarettes, but because he felt his face was dull.

Gu Xiaoqing couldn't bear it anymore, this was bullying.

While pouring the dishwashing water in the basin into the vegetable field, he said: "Second uncle, you are right, my family's life is like this, and my dad is embarrassed to ask you to take the money you asked my family to borrow." I really don't know what my dad thinks about coming back.

But I know that the second uncle is concerned about my niece's study, and I must know that my niece will start school soon, and there is no tuition fee yet. Did he come to pay my dad back the money on purpose? "

Those words caught fire right away.

The people in the courtyard were instantly quiet.
