290 Chewing Tongue
There are only two rooms in the house, a large house, and a kitchen. The kitchen is filled with firewood. It is small and dark, and it is definitely not suitable for people to live in.
But in the big house, Qin Yezhi was already fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was considered an adult man in this era.
Gu Xiaowan's nine-year-old girl, living with a man, is always bad.
Moreover, there is not even an extra bed at home, so Qin Yezhi can't make a floor, right?
"Ningping, is there any furniture maker in our village?"
"Yes, there is a carpenter at the southern end of the village. He can make some simple things."
Gu Xiaowan hurriedly went and made a bed for her own house, the sooner the better. The carpenter accepted Gu Xiaowan's money, and there was ready-made wood at home, and Gu Xiaowan didn't care about the style and shape of the bed, just made a request to make the bed a little longer.
The carpenter made one according to the most common style, and delivered it before dark.
Gu Xiaowan put the bed on the other side of the room, spread a quilt from their kang and put it on it. That way I can sleep.
"You just sleep here." Gu Xiaowan finally made a nest for Qin Yezhi. Qin Yezhi is sitting on it, although the hard floor is very awkward, but recently, it is much better than Qin Yezhi sleeping on the mountain.
"Not bad!" Qin Yezhi nodded with satisfaction.
Finally settled down at Gu's house. Qin Yezhi smiled bitterly in his heart. After tossing for so long, he still saved this girl in exchange for such an accommodation. It's rare, rare.
Looking at Qin Yezhi's smile, even his two thick eyebrows were rippling softly, as if he had always been smiling, curved like the bright first-quarter moon in the night sky.
Gu Xiaowan was a little distressed. It seemed that this person was going to fascinate many girls in the village.
In the past, before Qin Yezhi entered Gu's house, every time he went out, he was careful not to let people in the village find him, so no one knew that there was such a handsome young man in the Gu family.
This time, Qin Yezhi stayed at Gu's house, and if he came in and out in the future, everyone would find Qin Yezhi. As for Qin Yezhi's appearance, Gu Xiaowan was a little discouraged, a man looks better than a woman. This Tongshen's bearing makes people dare not look directly. After this, in the village, how can I tell others where he came from?
Gu Xiaowan thought about it for a while, and discussed with Qin Yezhi: "If someone asks you where you came from in the future, how should I answer?"
Qin Yezhi thought about it for a while, but he didn't think about it: "If someone asks, he will say that there is no father or mother in the family, so he is here, and he is taken in by you."
Gu Xiaowan nodded: "From now on, you will be our eldest brother."
He also explained to Gu Ningping and Gu Xiaoyi. Then there is Aunt Zhang's house. Aunt Zhang already knew that Qin Yezhi was rescued by Gu Xiaowan. After watching Qin Ye save Gu Xiaowan's life, everyone accepted Qin Yezhi.
In this way, not long after, everyone in the village knew that Gu Xiaowan's family took in a homeless child without parents.
At the beginning, everyone didn't think it was strange. After all, these days, there are famines or natural disasters in many places, and people will be displaced, and it is normal to beg for food in their villages.
Just like in this village, there are several daughters-in-law who are begging for food from their parents.
With a bowl of rice to eat and a shelter from the wind and rain, who wants to beg for food?
Therefore, it is not surprising that people who live here in this disaster year are not surprised. However, after someone saw Qin Yezhi's appearance again, they started talking again.
"Have you seen that young man from Gu Xiaowan's house?"
"I see. Yesterday he was fetching water by the river. I saw it."
"He's so handsome! He has a tall nose, big eyes, thick eyebrows, and he's so tall."
"Yeah, I was sweeping the floor in the yard that day, and I saw him passing by my door carrying water. He was really handsome."
"I don't know what good luck Gu Xiaowan's family has had, but she was able to pick up such a handsome young man."
"Yeah. Why didn't we have such good luck."
Seeing the gossip of the two of them, one of them sneered and said: "Hmph, what about being handsome? You can't eat as a meal? No matter how good-looking you are, isn't it a street beggar? Why? Good-looking, you still want to grab it, can't you be your son-in-law?"
"There's nothing wrong with that." One of them retorted: "You're so handsome, you're comfortable to look at, what's the use of being married to an ugly person, facing each other every day, guarding the gold and silver mountains, I'm afraid it's just watching You're going to vomit!"
"Hey, how could that be? Turn off the lights, isn't it the same!" Another woman joked. The people around laughed, and the angry woman raised her eyebrows.
The woman who said she didn't like her appearance had a nickname and was called "Light Out" mother-in-law. She just found a son-in-law with five shorts and three thicks. The son-in-law has a lot of money in his family. After the daughter got married, she once came back and made a scene, saying that the married man's nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes. Can't watch.
The woman once said a wise saying at the time: "Silly girl, what's the use of looking good, if you don't have money in your family, you still have to endure hardships. You married a rich man, so what if you look ugly? , you can't see it!"
At that time, when the girl got married and returned home in three dynasties, some of the woman's relatives also
When I came here, I heard the woman educating her daughter like this.
Later, I didn't know who was talking too much, so I spread the matter. Everyone knows that there is a "light out" mother-in-law.
This time, when everyone heard that she had spoken out about the incident that she didn't like her appearance, everyone couldn't help but think of the previous incident, so they all picked it up.
"Humph..." "Turn off the lights." Seeing that everyone was making fun of her, the mother-in-law snorted coldly and said maliciously, "What are you proud of, my son-in-law is ugly, but he wants money and money, and he wants a house and a house. Hmph, your niece is looking for a little white face, maybe it's not the next meal."
