Gu qiaoyue carefully recalled that the time passed too long. She couldn't remember clearly, so she smiled and changed the topic.
"You're not going to help Mom cook the pot."
Gu Qiaowan just wanted to refute "why don't you go", so she reacted that Gu qiaoyue just got something in her eyes and cried, so she went to the kitchen without saying anything.
Gu qiaoyue walked around the house and looked inside and outside the house. There were shadows of her mother and sister everywhere, full of memories.
I couldn't help but turn red again and burst into tears.
When I went to the yard, I only felt the air was particularly fresh, and the cicadas' chirping sound was particularly nice. Even the quarreling voice of the aunt and uncle next door was so kind.
There was a burst of pride in her heart. Now all the tragedies have not been staged, her mother has not had an accident, her sister has not dropped out of school, has not deteriorated, and has not died unexpectedly. She still has the opportunity to go to high school or even college, and a bright future is waiting for her to create.
In 1985, the living conditions were still very poor. Every family had just divided the land for two years. The output was low and there was not much grain. It was just enough to eat.
In the past two days, the mother and daughter were very tired. Zhang Peipei stewed eggs for Qiao Yue and Qiao Wan, mixed his own cucumbers and slipped some miscellaneous flour steamed buns.
"Mom stewed eggs for you. Eat quickly."
Zhang Peipei pushed two enamel bowls in front of Gu qiaoyue.
Gu Qiaowan was very happy and ate the bowl.
Gu qiaoyue watched Zhang Peipei take the steamed bread with miscellaneous noodles and eat cucumber dishes. She felt a little bad. She took two bites of stewed eggs and pushed it in front of Zhang peipeipei.
"Mom, you eat. I don't like eggs."
Zhang Peipei was stunned and frowned: "why don't you like it all of a sudden? Today's food is not delicious?"
The eggs of '85 were expensive. They were saved to buy money in the city. It was rare for children to have a meal. These two days, they were also busy collecting wheat. Zhang Peipei stewed them because they were too tired.
Gu Qiaowan also stopped and looked after Qiao Yue strangely. Yesterday, her sister scrambled to eat with her.
"Elder sister, if you don't eat, I'll eat?" Gu Qiaowan tentatively stretched out his hand.
Su qiaoyue stared at her: "don't you have it for your mother." she looked at Zhang peipeipei: "Mom, you eat more. You're the most tired these two days."
Zhang Peipei only feels warm in her heart. Where can she not understand Gu qiaoyue's meaning.
The eldest daughter is sensible and knows that she loves her. Zhang Peipei smiles and shakes her head and insists on letting Gu qiaoyue eat.
When Gu qiaoyue refused, a child suddenly came in at the door, grabbed the enamel bowl on the table and stuffed the eggs into her mouth.
After two bites, he shouted discontentedly, "why is it so much?"
He looked at the eggs in Gu Qiaowan's bowl again and said overbearing, "give me yours too." he stretched out his hand to grab it.
Gu Qiaowan naturally didn't want to. She turned her back and ate it two or three times.
"You loser dare not give me... Wuwuwuwu... Grandma... I want to eat eggs... I want to eat eggs..."
The boy was about seven or eight years old. He sat on the ground and kicked his legs and cried.
Several people came in from outside, led by Mrs. Gu, who was very aggressive, followed by her second daughter-in-law and little daughter-in-law.
Seeing her little grandson sitting on the ground crying, Mrs. Gu hurriedly pulled him up, coaxed him in a soft voice and scolded him unclearly.
"The little bitch who eats alone is shameless. It's to eat poor. Our old family cares about eggs. We also eat eggs when we lose money. Our old family has been unlucky for eight years. Why did we marry the one who eats alone enter the door..."
"Ouch, my poor little grandson, those who kill thousands of knives eat alone. They don't give my little grandson..."
Gu qiaoyue listened to her temples and looked at old lady Gu with hatred in her eyes.
Well, before she bothered them, they came to the door by themselves.
She also knew the three in front of her. After the accident, they were absolutely indispensable for forcing Zhang peipeipei to jump into the well.
Gu Dayong poked the matter up and patted his ass and left. Gu Laotai and Gu's two daughter-in-law came to bully them when they were free. They scolded them for their unclean words.
Gu qiaoyue clearly remembered that after her mother's accident, all the food in the yard this year was moved to the old house by Mrs. Gu, and even the sweet potatoes in the field were dug by them. The two sisters were helpless at home. If their grandparents and uncles hadn't often protected them, they might have starved to death.
"Mom, it's hot these two days. The two children are very tired and have to make up for them."
Zhang Peipei is not too weak, but he will never be strong. Gu qiaoyue's grandfather used to be an accountant of the production team. Zhang peipeipei can also read and count. Marrying Gu Dayong is considered as a marriage.
When they got married, Grandpa's family paid to build three houses outside for fear that Gu Dayong would not be at home and Zhang Peipei would be bullied in his mother-in-law's house.
Last year, the land was divided according to the head. Mrs. Gu thought they had fewer people and less land, and all women couldn't work. She simply let them set up a single family.
The family divided three acres of land. Mrs. Gu wouldn't let the people in the old house help. Gu Dayong was not at home. Whether it was farming or wheat harvesting, it was all done by Zhang peipeipei and his two daughters.
As soon as granny Gu saw Zhang Peipei talking, she immediately pointed at her and yelled.
"Well, you don't lay eggs. What can you make up for two money losing goods? Give two money losing goods to our old family. Dare to beat my little grandson. I'll kill you who can't lay eggs..."
Old lady Gu roared and slapped Zhang peipeipei in the face.
"It's really bad luck for our old family to marry you. We don't shit in the manger. We're just getting me some money losing goods..."
Seeing Zhang Peipei hiding in the past, Mrs. Gu was even more angry.
"Well, you bitch dare to hide. It's reasonable for you not to shit in the pit!"
At the same time, another slap greeted Zhang peipeipei.
As soon as Zhang Peipei was about to hide, her little sister-in-law Li Lingling 'kindly' hugged her, "Mom, stop fighting, sister-in-law, you'll be fine if you admit a mistake."
Zhang Peipei couldn't open his eyes and saw that slap would fall on his face.
With a crisp sound of "pa", old lady Gu slapped firmly.
But the person beaten was not Zhang Peipei, but Zhang Lingling, the child's daughter-in-law.
Zhang Lingling didn't seem to expect that she had been beaten. She covered her face for a long time and didn't respond. After the reaction, she stared at Mrs. Gu and roared loudly.
"Mom, you hit me!"
Mrs Gu is also a little guilty. It was Zhang Peipei who was disobedient. How did she get the obedient daughter-in-law who gave birth to two grandchildren?
"Zhang Peipei, you bitch, dare you hide? I won't kill you bitch." old lady Gu said and grabbed Zhang Peipei again.
Gu qiaoyue pulled Zhang Peipei behind her, looked at old lady Gu coldly, and shouted, "Grandma!"
Gu qiaoyue shouted loudly, and everyone in the room looked at her.
Gu qiaoyue said coldly, "grandma, my mother fed my chicken with our sisters, and my sister and I picked up the eggs one by one. Why do we get in the way of grandma when we eat my eggs?"
Old lady Gu was just silenced by Gu qiaoyue's roar. Now she felt that she couldn't hang on her face, so she roared immediately.
"She is my old family's daughter-in-law. The chicken she raises is also our old family's chicken. The eggs she lays are our old family's eggs. It's good for you to stutter when you lose money. You still want to eat our old family's eggs. Let me kill you!"
Gu took it for granted, grabbed the wooden stool and greeted Gu qiaoyue.
Gu qiaoyue caught her, grabbed the stool, pulled and pushed, and old lady Gu sat on the ground.
