Chapter 13 I ate bird's nest (2)
Gu Qingmei asked curiously: "What is this?"

"Bird's nest, it's for your body."

"Bird's nest?" Gu Qingmei opened the bag in surprise, God knows she likes to eat bird's nest porridge the most, this is a nourishing and nourishing product for beauty and beauty, she thought that after traveling here, she would have nothing to eat.

There was a red brocade box in the bundle. After opening it, there were clusters of snow-white bird’s nests, about [-] pieces. She recognized these were high-quality white swallows, and couldn’t help asking: “Are these bird’s nests worth a lot of money?” , fourth brother, where did you get the money to buy this?"

Gu Qingyang looked a little uncomfortable, but he still replied: "I didn't buy it, it was a gift from someone else, you can keep it and eat it, I heard that this thing needs to be stewed in water, it should be stewed for about a quarter of an hour, and it can be mixed Some crystal candy to eat."

As he said that, he took out three taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Gu Qingmei, "The hijab that Second Sister-in-law embroidered for you was sold at Xipu. It's three taels of silver, you can keep it."

Gu Qingmei frowned slightly, "The hijab was embroidered by the second sister-in-law, why did you give me the money?"

"Second sister-in-law, don't you know? She has always been the only one who suffers, and never loses to us. Just take it for you. When we are successful in the future, it's not too late to pay her back."

"You can take this money, help me buy something in the city, and bring it back to me when I go to sleep next time." Gu Qingmei didn't try to be hypocritical with him, she put the bird's nest on the top of the kangqin, and pushed it in. Pushed it and hid it, so as not to be seen by the elder sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law, and gossip again when they turned around.

In the past few days, the elder sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law would occasionally come over, the third sister-in-law was better, although she was a little out of tune, but not so annoying, but the elder sister-in-law always seemed like nothing happened, and she talked nonsense Say.

Gu Qingyang asked, "What do you want me to buy for you?"

Gu Qingmei said: "I want to buy some tools for traditional Chinese painting, various brushes, paints, coloring tools, brush washers, and paper. I plan to draw some patterns and see if I can sell them to others. Xiuzhuang, make some money."

Gu Qingyang immediately frowned unhappily, he didn't like his sister being too tired, "The injury on your head hasn't healed yet, Second Brother Wang said you'd better rest for a year, and stop doing these laborious things."

Gu Qingmei knew that the third brother loved her, so she smiled and said, "I'm just drawing some patterns, I won't embroider in the future, and I will do as little housework as possible, isn't that okay?"

Gu Qingyang frowned and stared at her without saying a word, she couldn't help but pouted, reached out and grabbed his arm and shook it gently, and said coquettishly: "Fourth brother..."

In her previous life, she seldom acted like a baby with her elders, but now she is very familiar with acting like a baby.

"Okay!" Gu Qingyang has always doted on this younger sister, knowing that it would be a bit boring to let her recuperate leisurely and do nothing, so she said. "Then when I come back next time, I'll bring you something back."

"Thank you, fourth brother!" Gu Qingmei smiled like a flower, and almost rushed over to kiss him in excitement, but fortunately, she remembered that this is ancient times, not the 21st century. If she did such a thing, it would definitely scare fourth brother. Dismissed the idea.

Gu Qingyang got up and said, "I'm going to help my mother with some work, you should take a good rest."

Gu Qingmei nodded and watched him go out.

Gu Qingyang walked into the east room. In summer, he lived in the east room by himself, but in winter, in order to save some firewood, he rested in his parents' room.

He took off the cloak on his body, folded it carefully, put it on the kang, and then found a set of dark blue coarse cotton robes and an old sheepskin waistcoat from the suitcase, and changed the Wensheng Gongzi robe on his body. When I came to the main room, I lifted the lid of the tank and saw that there was only half a tank of water in it, so I picked up the pole and wooden bucket and went out to help fetch water.

In the entire Gujiazhuang, there is only one well at the east end of the village, and the whole village must go here to fetch water.

He helped the family to fill up the water in the water tank. He also sweated all over. He poured some hot water and washed his face. Seeing that Mrs. Gu Liu was busy cooking, he said, "Mother, I'll help you light the fire!"

"No need!" Gu Liu felt sorry for her youngest son. "Go into the house and rest. You are so tired from studying in the academy all day. Take a good rest."

Gu Qingyang agreed, turned around and went to Xili Room, sat on the edge of the kang, and called Gu Shaotong, "Shaotong, come here, and recite "Thousand Characters" to Fourth Uncle."

"I can recite it, I can recite it..." Gu Shaohua heard that the fourth uncle was going to test his sister, and immediately came over to express himself, and said in a childish voice. "The heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is prehistoric..."

"Oh, our Shaohua can also recite "Thousand Characters"!" Gu Qingyang hurriedly hugged Gu Shaohua into his arms, and kissed his little cheek hard. "Then fourth uncle should reward Shaohua well."

Gu Shaotong twitched the corners of his mouth in disdain, "You know how to recite these two sentences in total, and dare to show them, go, go, and stay!"

"I don't!" Gu Shaohua tightly hugged Fourth Uncle's neck. "My sister is bad!"

Gu Shaotong bared his teeth and claws, "Stinky boy, you dare to say that I am bad, see if I don't beat you!"

Gu Qingmei smiled and said, "Okay, Shaotong, look at scaring him."

Gu Shaotong just gave up, stood on the ground in an orderly manner and started to memorize, "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is wild and wild, the sun and the moon are full and flat, and the morning and night are listed..."

I have been reciting more than half of the chapters before I stop.

Gu Qingyang praised: "It's really good! Tonight, Fourth Uncle will tell you the following."

"Hey..." Gu Liu came in, picked up the copper pot from the stove, and said dissatisfied. "What's the use of girls studying so many books? In a few years, they will find a master and marry, and they won't be the number one in the exam. It's a waste of time."

Gu Qingmei frowned slightly, and instinctively disliked her mother's remarks, which was clearly patriarchal.

Gu Qingyang said: "Mother, that's not the way to say it. In case Shaotong marries into someone who studies in the future, but doesn't know a single word, it will be a joke."

Gu Liu's face was full of disdain, "What a joke, it's fine if you know how to do housework, don't people who are studying still point at their daughter-in-law to earn fame?"

Gu Qingyang said again: "What if Shaotong's future husband likes a literate daughter-in-law?"

Gu Liu said stubbornly: "If Shaotong's future husband likes a daughter-in-law who can read, it's not Shaotong's turn to marry her."

Gu Qingyang and Gu Qingmei watched her lift the cotton curtain and walk out carrying the copper pot, they couldn't help but looked at each other speechlessly, and they were a little helpless.

This mother is like this, sometimes she understands and sometimes becomes confused.

Gu Qingmei was silent for a while, then asked, "Fourth Brother, am I literate?"

This is a very serious problem. If she is illiterate, she will inevitably have to cover up when she does things in the future, which will be very troublesome.
