Chapter 93 The Last Wish of Father and Son in the 60s 5
"So we're going to have pheasant stew tonight? And rabbit tomorrow?"
"Grandma, you can arrange it." She probably wouldn't want to eat this primitive stewed chicken. It was mainly for the elderly. He and her sixth father could cook for them at any time.
The bathhouse was built in the innermost corner on the right. Gu Laoliu went out to dig some yellow mud and filled the gaps with hay.
The frozen ground is difficult for others to dig, but for Gu Laoliu, it is no problem.
By the way, she also repaired the broken door. Grandma Gu cooked dinner. Chang'an and Gu Laoliu only drank sweet potato porridge. They didn't drink the chicken soup and left it for the elderly.
At night, when everyone was asleep, Chang'an and her sixth father's spirit went for a stroll in the village.
Seeing someone sneaking into a house and someone waiting in the yard to meet them, Chang'an and Gu Laoliu's eyes lit up as if they had seen something new, and they immediately followed to see what was going on.
The sound of people talking in the room was not loud and could not be heard clearly if you stood outside the wall.
But Chang'an and Gu Laoliu are not ordinary people, they heard it clearly.
One of them said, "Brother Zhou, I have found out that there is a large shipment of goods arriving at the black market today. Should we go?"
Brother Zhou seemed to be a little uninterested. "No, there has never been a large amount of goods in the black market in town. How come there is suddenly a large amount today? I'm afraid he is not fishing?"
"Can't this be done?"
"Why not? Didn't the county catch a group of people last month? It's better to be careful. Okay, it's late. Go back to sleep and go into the mountains together tomorrow."
Some unhappy people perked up again, "Okay, I'll come earlier tomorrow."
The man sneaked out of the house again and went back to his own home, which was not far away, just three houses in front.
Gu Laoliu flipped through the story line about Yuhe Village, which contained a brief introduction.
"The Zhou family is made up of only two people, the grandfather and the grandson. Zhou Anbang's parents were both martyrs. He was a very smart man. After the reform and opening up, he took his grandmother to the south to make a living and became a well-known wealthy businessman in the country.
He had a good relationship with Cheng Xizhou and had been helping him find his daughter, but unfortunately, they both died without ever finding the child. "
"Why can't I find it? And according to the normal plot, shouldn't the heroine see Zhou Anbang's success and fame, and then hug him after her rebirth?"
Could it be that he just doesn't like Zhou Anbang's looks?
Gu Laoliu rolled his eyes. "How can there be so many normal routines? Zhou Anbang is a very low-key person. He never accepts interviews. All his public appearances are made by his assistant. Xu Yunyun doesn't even know about it."
"As for Cheng Xizhou's daughter, of course she could not be found. She was beaten to death the day after she was sold into the mountains."
"Dad, are we going to send that reborn girl away? She really did a great sin. If she hadn't abandoned her husband and daughter, would that girl not have died?"
"Well, this reborn girl is also well behaved in the plot. She used tricks to marry Cheng Xizhou, but she didn't do anything else bad. She has no impact on the plane, so we don't need to care about her. The time-traveling girl has bad intentions, so she must be sent away, otherwise she might cause trouble."
They came out tonight to deal with the time-traveling woman, but they couldn't find the place.
Changan: "Dad, do you know which direction the Chen family is in?"
"How should I know? All houses covered in snow look the same." He said it with such confidence. The woman didn't practice tonight, otherwise he would have found her.
"Then what are we doing here?" They really can't get along without their freshman year.
I don't know if they slept during their freshman year? How about grabbing them and showing them the way?
Changan was thinking about Dayi when he saw him on the road in the center of the village. He looked up and smiled at the confused father and daughter.
"Dad, freshman year is here."
They had a tacit understanding. Dayi walked in front, while Gu Laoliu and Chang'an floated behind him.
The Chen family's home is at the entrance of the village, relatively close to the brigade headquarters. The Chen family members have not gone to bed yet, and are holding a family meeting. A family of more than ten people are crowded in the east room, some standing and some sitting.
Old man Chen who was sitting in the middle picked up the bowl and slurped a mouthful of boiled water, then said, "Xiaowu is old enough to get married. Your Aunt Guihua came to our house a few days ago and introduced a girl to us. She is the third daughter of the Liu family in the neighboring village."
"Are you the Liu family whose three sons are all workers in the city?" Mrs. Chen, who was standing by the kang, had bright eyes. She then continued, "The Liu family is a good family. If Xiaowu can marry a girl from their family, maybe our family can also produce a worker."
Old Mrs. Chen sighed sadly, "That's good, but our family can't afford such a large betrothal gift."
"How much?" Speaking of betrothal gifts, Mrs. Chen's enthusiasm halved. When she married into the Chen family, there was a famine, and a small bag of corn grits was considered the betrothal gift to marry her into the family.
The four sisters-in-law of the Chen family are in similar situations, so no one should be jealous of anyone else. But when Chen Xiaowu is old enough to get married, the betrothal gift will definitely be different from before.
The air suddenly became quiet, and after a long time, Old Lady Chen slowly said, "Eighty yuan and a bicycle."
Eighty yuan is not a big deal, as the Chen family has saved more than a hundred yuan in the past few years. But if they add a bicycle to the bill, it would be completely overloaded.
Not to mention that they don't have the money to buy bicycles, even ordinary people can't get tickets.
But he didn't want to give up such a good marriage. The only way now was to arrange a marriage for Chen Chunhe and use his daughter's betrothal gift as the betrothal gift for his fifth son.
Fortunately, my younger daughter is pretty, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to find a husband from a well-off family. It would be best if she could go to town, so that she can ask for more dowry.
Before Mrs. Chen had time to get angry, she heard Old Man Chen say, "Old woman, find a matchmaker to find Chunhe tomorrow. It would be best if the match could come to town."
As soon as he said this, everyone present knew what he was planning. Except for Chen Chunhe, no one had any objection, especially Chen Xiaowu, who was the beneficiary.
The four sisters-in-law had their objections. Why should they spend all their money to help the fifth son find a wife? Is this family going to survive?
They were all stopped by their husbands and not allowed to speak. Brother Chen lowered his head and whispered, "Wife, don't say anything yet. Let's talk about it when we get back to the room."
Mrs. Chen's eyes flickered slightly. Although her man looked honest and simple, he was actually very cunning and treacherous.
He must have a way to prevent Chen Xiaowu from accomplishing this task.
Seeing that Mrs. Chen didn't say anything, the other three sisters-in-law also quieted down and waited to watch Chen Chunhe's performance.
This sister-in-law always looks down on others. The two old guys usually show how much they love their daughter, but when the critical moment comes, they still want to sell her for money to marry their son?
Chen Chunhe's eyes were slightly cold and her tone was indifferent, "Put away your unrealistic ideas and don't try to gain benefits from me."
The Chen family felt very uncomfortable seeing her condescending attitude, as if she was looking down on ants.
Old man Chen put down the bowl in his hand heavily, and with a "bang", he scared his little grandson who was about to fall asleep.
Old Mrs. Chen didn't bother to scold Chen Chunhe. She picked up her little grandson and coaxed him.
Seeing that the child was frightened, Old Man Chen calmed down his temper and said coldly: "It's not up to you. My family has raised you for eighteen years, so you have to contribute to the family."
Chen Chunhe sneered disdainfully and said, "Then let's give it a try." After that, he ignored the people in the room and turned away arrogantly.
How could she, a cultivator, be unable to do anything to a group of ordinary people?
When she returned to the small utility room where she lived, Dayi walked out from the dark, followed by Changan and Gu Laoliu. They had arrived earlier, but had been eating melons.
Gu Laoliu froze time, and his slender, white, and bony fingers slightly raised, and the soul of the time-traveling woman was pulled out of Chen Chunhe's body.
The time-traveling girl looked at Gu Laoliu in horror, "You...?"
