The boss, Gu Xufeng, went to the neighborhood early in the morning to borrow tables and chairs, and borrowed ten tables from here and there.
The married girl Gu Ying came with her husband's family early in the morning. When Mr. Gu saw that his in-laws were also here, he quickly entertained her.
Gu Ying's husband's name was Cheng Dan. He was an honest and honest man with three boys and two girls. Originally, Gu Ying wanted to take the children back to her parents' house to stay for a few days, but Cheng Dan felt it was inappropriate and put the children at a neighbor's house.
Gu Ying and Cheng Dan looked at the busy people and immediately rolled up their sleeves to help.
After a busy morning, the courtyard of the Gu family was soon filled with people. They were all the people who helped catch game that day. They all brought their families with them, but not many people came, and there were only a few people from each family.
"Thank you, brothers, for coming to drink my Gu Tian's full moon wine." After they all sat down, Mr. Gu stood up, picked up the wine glass and thanked everyone.
The people who came to drink today were all good friends with Mr. Gu, and there were also people who didn't come despite being notified.
He naturally hopes that his little girl's full moon reception will be lively and lively, but he doesn't want to go along with it. He naturally knows the reason, and it doesn't matter to him.
"Old Gutou, you're so polite. This is the first time I've been so polite in all the years I've known you." It's because of his daughter!
All in all, they were blessed by the little girl of the Gu family.
Mr. Gu waved his hand. It was not suitable to say such official words. After thanking him again, he took the old slicker and continued to drink.
After three rounds of drinking, Mrs. Gu took her little girl out to show her face according to custom. When everyone saw this little appearance, they were almost sober from the wine.
Babies are born in the village every year, but the babies under the full moon are either skinny or black. But when they saw this white and tender female baby for the first time, everyone immediately became excited.
The old slippery man fell in love with this little doll as soon as he saw it. He quickly walked to Mr. Gu, lowered his head and whispered: "Brother Gu, do you want to marry a baby?"
The old slippery man has a one-year-old grandson, his youngest son. From Fulai Family. He originally wanted to get married, but he immediately regretted it when he asked. The fourth and seventh children of the Gu family are studying. The fourth child is going to die this year. If he can't guarantee that he will be admitted as a scholar, then the tide will naturally rise in the future. This is what they are worried about. Up.
"What's that! Brother Gu, just think I drank too much. After thinking about it, my family is not worthy of this little baby." The last words of the old slicker were sincere. The more he looked at them, the happier he became. How could his grandson be able to do that? Worthy? And this is Lao Gutou's daughter. Isn't this a seniority difference?
No, no.
When Mr. Gu heard what the old slicker said, his face instantly turned gloomy and terrifying, but it was a pity that the old slicker, who was lowering his head and thinking, didn't see it.
Before he could throw the old cunning man out, the guy spoke again, and his expression softened.
"Little brother, my daughter will not be limited to this land." That's it, his daughter will not be limited to this countryside.
Mr. Gu thought for a while and felt that he had to write a letter to them.
The old slicker nodded in agreement, chatted for a few more words, and then continued to sit down and drink.
Those who were close listened to the whole conversation between the two, and all stopped thinking. They all looked at Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu with envy, and kept praising them for their good fortune.
Gu Tian, who had just woken up, was a little confused, but there were compliments in her ears, and it was her parents who praised her, and she immediately smiled happily.
The full moon banquet was a lively one, and the whole village, young and old, ate to their heart's content. There were also a few losers who even brought their own basins, just to eat more meat.
Mr. Gu saw this, turned around and gave instructions to Mr. Gu, and then hurried to see his little girl.
The Gu family is very popular. After the meal, some people they knew well offered to stay and help. Old Mrs. Gu didn't refuse much. After all, she had helped others before, so she felt guilty. Fortunately, there was still some food left in the kitchen. The food is divided among the whole family, which is enough to improve the food for the next few days. It was getting late, and the Gu family finally had time to rest after a busy day.
When Mr. Gu entered the house, Mrs. Gu had just finished breastfeeding her child. When she saw the frowning Mr. Gu, she couldn't help but ask.
"What makes you frown?" Since having a little girl, she has never seen Mr. Gu frown once, but today...
"Is it because of what the old slicker said?" The old slicker said that he wanted to get married.
"Didn't the old cunning man change his story later?" Mrs. Gu thought for a while! Later, the old slick man changed his story again, but she could clearly see the change in Mr. Gu's expression at that time.
Mr. Gu sighed. His words were not just for old bones, but also for those who were thoughtful.
After Mrs. Gu put Tianbao to sleep, she raised her eyes to look at Mr. Gu and said warmly: "What others say is their business. Besides, if you can control what people say in front of others, can you control what others say behind them? Tianbao is still young now. , There will be a long way to go in the future. If you get a bad reputation because of this incident, you should take care of yourself."
Old Mrs. Gu stopped and said the harshest words in the gentlest voice.
Mr. Gu shuddered, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and immediately went to the kitchen to get a basin of foot-washing water, and washed his wife's feet himself.
Mrs. Gu accepted it happily.
The sky is full of darkness, occasionally dotted with stars, creating a bit of mystery in the silent night.
A white dove crossed the sky and disappeared.
* The white pigeon
in Beijing
landed in a simple and majestic building. When the boy who was watching outside saw it, he quickly grabbed the white pigeon and hurried towards the study.
There were guards on duty outside the study. When they noticed someone walking in, they stopped them one after another. Not even a mosquito could get even half a step closer to the study.
The study was originally a bit spacious, but now it was full of people, making the space seem a bit narrow.
An old man with frosty white hair sat in the main seat, holding a letter about two fingers wide in his hand. There were only a few words on it, but it made everyone look a little depressed.
After a long while, he threw the note on the table. He was a little angry when he threw it, but the note was so light that even with all his strength, it didn't go far. It fluttered and fell back to the old man's hand. The angry old man asked again. He picked up the note and threw it away, but was snatched away by the man in gray standing beside him.
"Dad, calm down and I'll take care of it."
The old man turned his head away and turned his head away, not even wanting to look at it.
The man in gray clothes then lowered his head and read the contents of the note, which contained only a few words.
I am very happy to have gained another beautiful daughter. I am extremely grateful for the support of my ancestors. You, Mo Hong.
Interpretation: I am very happy to have another baby girl. Thank you ancestors for taking care of me. Thank you very much. Don't be jealous.
The man in gray clothes had a headache. Seeing how angry the old man was, there was nothing they could do. His family had not had a single girl in his generation, and even the next generation would all be grandchildren. Now the old man had a headache when he saw his grandchildren. But the third child is good at poking at the heart of the old man, and he will take this matter to the heart of the old man again. Now that he has given birth to a daughter, the old man will not be jealous of her.
"I'm going to find this little son of a bitch now!" The old man had a bad temper and was so angry with the third child that he immediately wanted to pack up and leave.
The whole room was so frightened that they were coaxed for a long time before they felt better. No one dared to mention it in front of the old man, so they could only secretly prepare gifts for the third child.
