Chapter 96 The last wishes of the father and son in the 60s
The days passed quietly as Gu Laoliu and his colleagues went to work for the two old cows.
With the presence of Gu Laoliu, who seems unreliable and is actually unreliable but is a skilled worker, the four old people feel much brighter.
As the year draws to a close, Chang'an hears the news that Cheng Xizhou is going to marry Xu Yunyun.
"Okay, it must be a normal operation with the male and female protagonists here. Poor kid."
"I heard that they only set up two tables and invited relatives to have a meal. It was not a big wedding, and they didn't get the marriage certificate first. I wonder what Cheng Xizhou wants to do? This part is different from the plot in the previous life. In the previous life, they got the marriage certificate first and then held the wedding."
Gu Laoliu and Chang'an were strolling in the mountains. If he wanted to take the meat out of the space with a legitimate reason, he had to go up the mountain for a walk. If there were only the old couple of the Gu family in the cowshed, there would be no need to hide it too much, because there were two others, right?
"Would you like to go and take a look?" Chang'an took out two pheasants from the space, tied them up and stuffed them into her sixth father's firewood.
"Let's go down the mountain now. They are getting married today, so there should be a lot of people going over to join in the fun."
The father and son hopped down the mountain happily, returned to the cowshed to put down the firewood, took out the fainted pheasant from the firewood and gave it to Grandpa Qi. He was the one who cleaned up all the pheasants and rabbits they brought home.
Grandpa Qi weighed the two pheasants in his hand and said with a smile: "Gu and his son are really lucky to be able to pick up such fat pheasants in the middle of winter."
"That's right," Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu nodded seriously, agreeing with what Grandpa Qi said.
Leaving the four old men at home to tinker with things, Chang'an and Gu Laoliu hopped over to the village chief's house. Of course, they couldn't show up so arrogantly, as their identity as living in the cowshed still brought them many restrictions.
They are like the plague god, and everyone tries to avoid them.
Chang'an and Gu Laoliu were very self-aware and found a secluded corner to eat melons. Dayi walked in front of them not too far away. After seeing that they were hidden, he walked to the other side where there were more people.
How many times more people came to Cheng's house to eat melons than to the wedding banquet? Chang'an suspected that everyone in the village had come.
Xu Yunyun understood that Cheng Xizhou had difficulty walking, so she didn't ask him to pick her up at the Youth League Home. Instead, she asked a few people from the Youth League Home who were on good terms with her to take her to Cheng's house.
As a bride, it is necessary to dress up sleekly.
This makeup is eye-catching no matter how you look at it. As the heroine, Xu Yunyun is not ugly. Although she is not extremely beautiful, she is of above average appearance.
This makeup is worse than her natural look. The blush on her cheeks is round and red, and the bright red lip balm is smeared on the corners of her mouth.
"I wonder if she will be scared during the wedding night? She looks too much like the paper figurines used by paper-making shops for grave-visiting."
Cheng Xizhou almost spit out his wine while toasting his elders. He thought that the little kid would not show up, but he didn't expect that he would come when he got married.
He turned his head slightly and glanced at Xu Yunyun who was following him. Didn't he realize something was wrong when he didn't hear what the child said?
When he heard it, he couldn't help but think in that direction, and it really was quite similar.
Cheng Xizhou shook his head. He couldn’t think about it, otherwise his daughter would not be born.
But the more he looked at Xu Yunyun, the more he wanted to laugh. Did her family run a paper-making shop? Otherwise, how could she draw herself into such a weird look?
Gu Laoliu, who was eating melon in the corner, touched his chin with his hand and looked at Cheng Xizhou thoughtfully. After a moment, he said to Changan, "My daughter, if I'm not mistaken, Cheng Xizhou wants to give birth to the daughter from his previous life with Xu Yunyun. He is afraid that he will not be able to give birth if he marries someone else."
"How did he know that he had a daughter in his previous life? Was he also reborn?" Chang'an immediately grasped the key point.
Gu Laoliu slipped his elbow, forgetting that his daughter didn't know that her thoughts could be heard by different protagonists. He didn't intend to tell her, so he lied, "I put a dream-making talisman on him."
"Oh, then judging by his current actions, he must be planning to drive Xu Yunyun away after his daughter is born?"
"Xu Yunyun abandoned him once in his previous life, and he abandoned her in this life. There's nothing wrong with that. It's just reciprocity."
Cheng Xizhou: The one who understands me best is Lao Liu.
Changan: Is this how courtesy and reciprocity is used?
"Xu Yunyun was immoral in the previous life, and Cheng Xizhou is immoral in this life. The male and female protagonists play their own games in every life. Is the male protagonist going to develop into a scumbag?"
"possible?"
They watched for a while and then stopped watching and quietly left the dark corner outside the Cheng family's yard.
Da Yi kept an eye on their movements, and when he saw them leave, he thought they must want to go back, so he quietly walked in front of them to lead the way.
The wedding of the hero and heroine was only lively for half a day. After the excitement, the village became quiet again. But it wasn't really quiet, because every household, no matter what their financial situation was, would prepare some New Year's goods.
Chang'an and Gu Laoliu have no interest in the Chinese New Year. It's not just the Chinese New Year, it may be because they have lived too long and have lost interest in any festival.
The four old people have no time to think about these things. They still have to go to work even during the New Year. What is there to look forward to?
"Every year, sugar cakes are offered to the kitchen god. Girls ask for flowers, young men ask for firecrackers, old men ask for a big felt hat, and old ladies ask for a big sticky cake."
The children in the village were rolling and playing in the snow, with snot hanging from their noses. The slippery children were given a complete childhood by their old mother.
The day before New Year’s Eve, two more people came to the cowshed, a young man in his early twenties and a woman in her forties.
At this moment, Grandpa Qi was chasing two people with a fire poker and beating them. It turned out that one of them was his eldest grandson and the other was his eldest daughter-in-law.
"Would you be chased by ghosts if you stayed in the city? Why did you come here to find work?"
Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Wei held Mr. Qi back, fearing that he would get angry and get hurt.
He threw down the fire stick, the grown man's eyes turned red and he was about to cry. The mother and son, who were huddled together, hurried forward to comfort him.
"Grandpa, calm down. It's my grandson's fault. Isn't this worrying you?"
His father took great pains to send him to the cowshed to keep his grandfather company, and the family was almost complete. Fortunately, he and his mother were smart and broke off relations with his father. Now he and his grandfather are a family.
Mother Qi grabbed her older son and said, "Dad, if you feel unhappy, just hit my son."
Mr. Qi: ??? Isn’t your son my grandson?
I don't seem that sad anymore. Just come and work as exercise, right?
Qi Tangfeng: ??? Is she your mother?
Mr. Wei really envied Mr. Qi for having such a filial grandson and daughter-in-law. How could he be like him? Well, let's not talk about it.
Everyone got to know each other, and when they came to Chang'an and Gu Laoliu, the father and son were both holding a big sweet potato in their hands and chewing it. They sat in the standard spectator's posture, chewing in sync, and looked at the Qi mother and son with similar clear eyes, curiously.
It's not that the two of them are impolite. They still have food in their mouths. Shouldn't they swallow it before talking? What if they start talking before finishing their food and spray it in the other person's face?
Mother Qi also looked at the father and son curiously. It was amazing that they swallowed at exactly the same frequency. How did they do that?
"This is my youngest son Gu Qingming, nicknamed Laoliu, and my grandson is Chang'an," Grandma Gu hurriedly stepped forward to introduce them, her mouth twitching twice. They never stop eating all day long, and when there is nothing else to eat, they just eat raw sweet potatoes.
The father and son nodded in sync, and Gu Laoliu greeted first, "Hello, Sister-in-law Qi, Hello, Comrade Xiao Qi."
"Hello, Auntie. Hello, Brother Qi." Chang'an wanted to call her auntie, but when she saw her son who was in his twenties, she decided to call him auntie.
Mother Qi thought the father and son were so adorable that her eyes narrowed as she smiled, "Hello, you two."
