Chapter 247: Grandpa Sending His Son
Although I came back half a month early, there were still a lot of things going on at home.
I have been away from home for more than two months. Although there are people taking care of my home, there are still many things to deal with.
And the Chinese New Year is coming soon. It’s the first year after moving to a new home, it’s Han Yu’s first year at home, and it’s Bao’er’s first year at home. No matter what, they don’t want to spend it casually.
In addition, Ning An was getting married, so he had to go there in advance to see how the preparations were going. After all, there were only two people in the Ning family, father and daughter, so he was worried that he might have overlooked something.
Widow Gu was also very busy every day. Even if he couldn't bear to go out, husbands from the village would still come to see him.
On weekdays, when Widow Gu is in the village, sometimes he is noisy and sometimes causes some unpleasantness.
But they left suddenly, and their husbands who were used to talking together still missed Widow Gu a little.
In addition, they wanted to hear what Widow Gu had to say about the latest happenings in Beijing, so they couldn't help but come to see Widow Gu.
This time twice, Widow Gu found that the people in the village didn't seem to be too curious about certain princes, so he felt relieved.
Two days later, he went out with the spring breeze and summer rain happily as before, and generously brought out some fresh food and gadgets he brought back from Beijing to share with everyone.
Of course, the biggest reason for this is to show off.
These are already commonplace things for the husbands in the village. Ever since Gu Chao became successful, there has never been a time when Gu, a widower, doesn't show off.
Moreover, they can get benefits just by saying flattering words, so why not?
After being busy at home for a few days, Gu Chao took Ning Su back to Ning's house, and naturally brought a lot of things with him.
There are ones specially for the father-in-law and eldest sister, and there are also ones specially prepared for the eldest sister's wedding.
Gu Chao had another important thing to do this time. He had to see the peach trees and red rouge fruits.
Zhang Ye sent a letter earlier asking about Taozhi, but she agreed and asked them to come here to see how it was growing, so she felt confident.
After she came back, she looked at the peach tree at home. It was growing like a normal peach tree for three to four years.
When she has free time, she can set up a swing for her husband and children. When the flowers come in spring, the husband will sit on the swing under the tree. The flowers are beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful.
By then, the little cub should be able to stand on his own.
Everything is developing in a good direction, and it will be even more perfect when Han Yu shapes his soul body.
After not seeing her son for two months, Mrs. Wu naturally missed her son and her granddaughter. When she saw her son and daughter-in-law coming, the smile on her face never fell, and she was busy greeting her.
This is what happens when he gets older. As long as his children are around, he is most satisfied. If he is not kept busy, he will be unhappy.
After staying at Ning's house for a day, I went to see the orchard before going home.
Here, as soon as Gu Chao and Ning Su left the village, someone came to the door of the Ning family. Naturally, they went to talk, and they were all compliments to Mrs. Wu.
The son has married well, and the daughter will soon marry the son of Landlord Yu's family. The Ning family has changed its family.
If you don't build a good relationship now, you may not be able to get along in the future.
The Ning family didn't have many relatives or serious elders in the village. There weren't many people who came to his house in those years, and they were the few who were close to the Wu family.
But ever since I found out about Ning Su's wife's family, I have become more and more friendly with the Wu family. Now, the threshold of the Ning family is almost broken by them.
Of course, there were many people who said slanderous things, but they didn't say it in front of the Ning family.
It's not that Wu didn't know what those people in the village were thinking, he just pretended that he couldn't see it. He usually talked about it when it was time to talk, and he didn't mention anything else.
As for those who wanted to please his daughter-in-law through him, he refused to accept them and told them to go directly to Gu Chao if they had something to do. The door of the Gu family was open anyway.
Of course I don't have a problem with some of them because they really have something to do, but if some of them don't want to be paid and just want to take advantage, then I won't be happy about it.
Mrs. Wu knew very well that her daughter-in-law was not idle and had a big family to support. How could she work for free?
Beautiful thought!
Gu Chao didn't know that he was being protected by his father-in-law. Even if he knew about it, he would be grateful and would not think that his father-in-law did something wrong.
To be honest, there weren't many people coming to see Gu Chao from the nearby villages. I always felt that Gu Chao was famous now, and they were afraid that she would receive more compensation than others, so they didn't dare to come to her.
In fact, Gu Chao didn't care too much about some of the little things of the villagers, and she really didn't value the little reward they gave her.
But as long as she was approached, she would do her best to help people solve the problem, and she would not just do it perfunctorily.
As long as they invited Gu Chao, no one said that Gu Chao was doing anything wrong, and no one really thought that Gu Chao received a lot of compensation.
No, when I heard that Gu Chao had returned from Beijing, someone braved the heavy snow to come and invite him.
As soon as Gu Chao arrived home, he heard from Manager Xu that a guest had come to the door. He said that someone at home was sick and wanted to ask Gu Chao to check on him.
I came right after lunch, knowing that Gu Chao would be back today, so I waited until now.
Since he is sick and has waited until now, it can be seen that he is anxious.
Other things can wait, but this illness cannot wait.
Regardless of how late it was, Gu Chao followed the visitor again.
Ning Su and Han Yu sent people to the gate and told them to be careful on the road, "I won't go out when it's late."
It's going to be urgent. It's snowing and the road is not easy to walk. "
"I know, just take care of yourselves at home.
Okay, let's go in, it's cold outside. "
Finally, they saw that the wife's car was far away and out of sight, so the two of them turned around and walked back.
"How are uncle and eldest sister? Are all the things needed for the wedding prepared? There is nothing going on at home. My brother should stay for a few more days and come back."
"Everything is fine. There's nothing going on at home. Anyway, I have to go back in a few days, so I won't miss these few days."
The two brothers walked inside while chatting with each other, really like brothers.
The people in the village at the front are still discussing whether Gu Chao has married two husbands, or is he still married? How will he liven things up in the future?
It was also said that Ning Su had a soft temper, and Han Yu came from a wealthy family, so he must have an arrogant temper, and the two of them would not get along well.
As a result, several months have passed, but what they were thinking about has not appeared at all. It is good to see the two of them at any time.
Even when Widow Gu went out to chat, he didn't gossip about the two of them. When others asked, they also said that the two of them got along well and that they were both sensible and considerate.
This shocked everyone in the village, and they all sighed that Gu Widow had a good life, and Gu Chao had a good life.
Enjoying the blessing of being together, isn't it a good life?
Although they are farmers and have not married many husbands, they have also seen the situation of the wives of landlords.
It's that Huang Landlord's house. Isn't it because Huang Landlord hired another husband to serve outside, so he didn't want a few of them at home?
In the end, it didn’t make the chickens and dogs restless at home.
Anyway, many women in the village envied Gu Chao. She was the only one who could afford two husbands and keep the backyard from catching fire.
Of course, as long as they show a little bit of such envy at home, they will definitely be punished by their husbands.
A good one would be a harsh word, but a serious one might be a scolding, or simply not letting him go to bed.
This kind of envy can only be kept in the heart, otherwise several women will get together to discuss it while their husband is away.
"Dabao has married two husbands in one year, and he doesn't know how many more he will marry in the future?"
"According to what Uncle Liu said, if the situation is suitable, I will still serve Dabao."
"Dabao is now promising. He has a big family and a big business, so he just wants to marry more husbands to spread his business."
"That's right. Bao'er alone is too little and lonely. She may not be able to support such a big family business in the future."
"Yes, yes, it's troublesome even if the family has a lot of money, but it's also troublesome for people like us who don't have a lot of money."
"Hahaha, that's right. But it's up to me to choose. I still want someone with a strong family background."
"Hahaha, who doesn't want to? Then you have to have this life."
"However, our life is pretty good now, and it will be better in the future. Who doesn't envy our village in the ten miles and eight villages now? This is all due to Dabao."
"Why not? Dabao is a good person and knows how to take care of our fellow villagers.
Although I was a bit out of tune in the past, now that I have woken up, I can be regarded as the prodigal son turning back, okay. "
Gu Chao just smiled when he heard these words occasionally and didn't take them to heart.
Of course, such private matters will not be discussed outside. As long as they don't discuss it too much, Gu Chao will not interfere.
After all, they were all from the village, and they didn't look up when they looked down. In fact, they didn't have bad intentions. They were just chatting like Widow Gu.
As soon as Gu Chaocai entered and came out of the village, the villagers naturally asked her what was going on, "Someone please go out."
I heard it was serious business, so I didn't say much more, "It's snowing and it's late. Please be careful on the road."
"I know, aunt will go back early too."
"Oh! Let's go back now."
The man who came to invite Gu Chao was named Wang Ze, and the sick man was her husband.
It didn't matter that she was sick. It was because her husband was pregnant. It had been more than five months but she still had stomachaches from time to time.
This situation of course frightened the whole family, and they quickly invited a doctor to come to the house to see the situation. However, after the doctor came to see him, he could not explain the reason, and he did not get angry.
I was only prescribed anti-fetal medicine, but it still hurt even after taking the medicine.
Later, he was seen by several doctors, and the results were the same: he was told to rest.
Since the doctor couldn't figure out the reason, and he never saw the red, he could only listen to the doctor's words.
A month passed like this, and by the sixth month, the movement in the belly became louder and more lively than ordinary children.
Especially at night, he not only kept moving, but also felt like his internal organs were being pulled out in his stomach. The pain was so painful that Mr. Wang could not speak.
In just a few days, I lost a lot of weight and was miserable.
But something even more strange is that Mr. Wang can eat, not to mention five or six meals a day, and there are always snacks.
But even so, he still hasn't gained any muscle, and he's extremely skinny. Now he's already skinny and skinny, with only a bulging belly, which makes him look scary.
When Wang Ze's generation came to the Wang family, it was just a single family. When they got older, the two elders made arrangements to marry Wang Ze to his current husband.
At the beginning, the two elders of the Wang family and Wang Ze were quite satisfied with this husband. They were also chosen by the whole family.
Of course he is satisfied.
In addition, Mr. Wang is sensible and knows how to coax his father-in-law and mother-in-law. He is also filial. After marrying, the whole family will live in harmony.
And Mr. Wang was also very successful. He became pregnant in less than half a year, which made the family even more happy and looked forward to the arrival of the child.
Unexpectedly, when Mr. Wang went out to deliver food to the fields, he was tripped by the village dog and had a miscarriage.
No matter how distressed our family is, and no matter how much the dog owner apologizes, in the end it is irreversible.
When I was sad, I thought that Mr. Wang was still young and would still have opportunities in the future, so I could only comfort myself in this way.
But I never imagined that just because of this miscarriage, I was so hurt that I couldn't get pregnant again for the next two years.
As time passed, the second elder naturally became anxious, and life at home became increasingly difficult.
In fact, Mr. Wang was more anxious than anyone else. If he couldn't give birth, his father-in-law would definitely not let his wife die, and would definitely let another man give birth.
And when that time comes, what should he do? Where will it be placed?
Mr. Wang's worries are not impossible. The Wang family only has one daughter, Wang Ze, so the expenses are naturally not large. They have saved some money over the years, and they can afford to marry another one.
Wang Ze's father also inquired behind his back, but he hadn't found a suitable man yet.
Even if Mr. Wang knew about it, what could he do? He couldn't blame his father-in-law for being unable to give birth, and he couldn't even say harsh words.
Mr. Wang's natal father was also anxious and worried about him. From time to time, he would take Mr. Wang to see a good doctor if he heard about it or if he had any home remedies.
I even went to many temples and Taoist temples just to be able to conceive another child.
Not too much, just give birth to a daughter. After all, she is the only one in the Wang family in Wang Ze's generation. As long as the son can give birth to a daughter, the son's back will be strengthened, and he is not afraid that the Wang family will have something to say.
Later, Mr. Wang heard that there was a special spirit of a grandfather who sent his son in a Taoist temple more than ten miles away. Many people became happy after going to worship.
Moreover, the Taoist temple does not charge money for incense, saying that it is for the benefit of the people of the world.
So I went there with my son. There were indeed many pilgrims in the Taoist temple, and they were all famous.
After Mr. Wang worshiped in the Taoist temple, the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple gave him a pill that was said to help in pregnancy.
Not only him, but other husbands who came to worship also had one.
After returning from the Taoist temple, Mr. Wang became pregnant in the second month.
For the Wang family, which has been under cloudy weather for more than two years, this is a great blessing, as the sky clears up after the rain.
But how could I know that after only four months of being happy, I would no longer be happy anymore.
