Chapter 252 Xiaoman Returns Home
When the two sides approached, the old couple's faces were full of curiosity and scrutiny. Google Search Reading
The old lady said bluntly: "The young man is so handsome, is this your wife? She is easy to raise."
The always carefree Xiaoman's face suddenly blushed.
Gu Ke nodded with a smile: "Grandma has a good eye."
The old lady was happy: "Oh, you are praising yourself."
This old lady is quite interesting. Gu Ke also thought it was interesting: "Grandpa and Grandma, I want to ask you something, where does Xiong Mancang live?"
The old lady thought about it, but before she could figure out who this "Xiong Mancang" was, the old man next to her said: "Xiong Mancang, it should be the elder of the Xiongjia Town."
"Old Master Xiong." The old lady suddenly realized: "You should have said it was him earlier, his home is at the west end of the town."
Gu Ke nodded after hearing this, thanked the old couple, and continued to walk towards the town.
The old lady's low voice came from behind: "Is this a relative of the old Xiong family?"
The old man: "The girl looks a bit like the little girl of the Xiong family, it's probably her."
The old lady: "I think this girl is more reliable. Look at how big her butt is, she can definitely give birth..."
Xiao Man naturally heard it and was so nervous that she turned sideways.
It was only when Gu Ke smiled and grabbed the place where it was easy to give birth that she relaxed.
It's not so much that this topic made her nervous, but it's more like being afraid of being close to home.
The old lady's culture with a strong sense of life reminded her of the old ladies in Xiongjia Village.
There are also family members who haven't met for more than 20 years, and I don't know how they will face her appearance.
On the way, the two were stopped several times.
However, they had already "asked" where the Xiong family was, so Gu Ke didn't waste time, just showed the token and explained his purpose.
Most people were busy reclaiming wasteland and farming, so they were not so idle. They started working again after confirming that there was no problem.
Only one teacher came across a group of children who were working in the fields. After hearing their intention, he asked an older child to go with them and take them to the Xiong family.
At this time, they were only a few miles away from the town. The older child had received the blessing of floating on the water, so he ran very fast.
Without wasting any time, he brought them to the place and shouted, "Auntie Xiong, your relatives have arrived."
As soon as the words were shouted, several small buildings nearby made noises and people came out one after another.
The older child waited for someone to come out of the small building and immediately greeted them, "Hello, Auntie Xiong, these two said they are your relatives."
He turned to Gu Ke and the other two and said, "These are the Xiong family members you are looking for."
He ran away again after saying that, because he had to go back to practice martial arts.
If the daily martial arts training task was not completed, the whole team would be punished, and he didn't want to be the target of his friends.
In front of Gu Ke and the other two, five young women soon gathered, all in their early twenties, two of whom were pregnant.
They are indeed the aunts of the Xiong family, but they are not the wives of the brothers Xiong Da and Xiong Er, but the wives of the three generations of Xiong.
So, they should call Xiaoman "eldest aunt" - Xiong Xiaoxiao is "youngest aunt".
Gu Ke bowed his hands as a greeting: "Please come in, everyone. I am Gu Ke, and I have brought my wife Xiaoman back to visit relatives. I have come to pay my respects to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Several younger aunts were at a loss: "Ah, who is Xiaoman?"
Then someone exclaimed quickly: "Xiaoman? Is it that, is it that aunt Xiaoman?"
The others immediately put "Xiaoman" together with "Xiaoman, the dead girl" mentioned by Xiong Wangshi: Yes, the only girl married out of the Xiong family who they didn't know at all was this aunt who had been missing for more than 30 years.
They all looked at Xiaoman's face, as if they were looking at something incredible... Well, it's really hard to imagine.
The girl who disappeared for an hour and for more than 30 years suddenly came back alive.
If this were a movie plot from my previous life, and a night scene was chosen, 80% of people would feel that this would be a ghost story.
With the social security and living environment of Dawu, even adults could easily die outside if they were not careful, let alone an ordinary girl.
But looking at Xiaoman's appearance, especially her chubby face, big eyes, and small and round mouth, she is exactly like her sister Xiong Xiaoxiao.
With these three points, although other parts of the face are different, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are very similar.
A young aunt even murmured subconsciously: "No wonder, no wonder grandma always says that the little aunt looks like Aunt Xiaoman, this, this is really similar."
Xiaoman was at a loss. On weekdays, she would have jumped up and cried, but at this moment, she could only look at a few "younger generations" while looking at Gu Ke for help, and her hand couldn't help but pull his arm.
Gu Ke tilted his head and nodded, and then patted her tightly grasped hand to comfort her.
Turning back, he smiled and bowed to the five young aunts: "May I know how to address you?"
Several people reported their identities, which were the rankings of their husbands in the family.
In this way, he and Xiaoman only need to call them "Ada", "Lao San", "Xiao Wu".
Whether Xiaoman is "Aunt Xiaoman" or not, it is not up to the grandchildren's wives to say, let alone recognize her directly.
Now the head of the Xiong family is Xiong Er, of course Xiong Da is his brother, and he can speak up for discussion.
Of course, the most effective ones are Xiong Lao Di and Xiong Wangshi.
But the old couple have a very good mentality. They are satisfied with working and practicing martial arts every day and playing with their little great-grandchildren.
They have been in charge of the trivial matters of this big family for decades.
Now that Xiong Da and Xiong Er have grandchildren, it is natural that they should be the head of the family.
After the two sides greeted each other, they were led into the main hall of a bamboo building, which belonged to the old couple Xiong Dad.
On weekdays, only Xiong Xiaoxiao and his great-grandson could take advantage of their favor to take a nap or stay overnight in this bamboo building.
Others, even Xiong Da and Xiong Er? It's an eyesore, so go back to your own building.
Fudi Town is currently dominated by small buildings made of purple bamboo. After all, except for the northern desert and the northern part of the courtyard, the three kingdoms in the east, south, west and the southern part of the courtyard are suitable for the growth of purple bamboo.
And as long as you don't seek speed, purple bamboo can grow slowly after a few years of sowing.
Unlike foreign grains, the lack of fertilizer will greatly affect the production, and it may even fail to mature.
Therefore, in the wild land near the city of Dawu, you can see clusters of purple bamboo everywhere, big and small.
In the mountains of Nanye, there are large tracts of purple bamboo forests.
If you need to use it, just collect some. It doesn't matter if you forget it. Anyway, the longer it grows, the more lethal it is to monsters.
The temperature in Yulong Fudi is not low, and the people in Xiongjia Town and Bihai City are quite used to bamboo buildings.
The people in Taiping City didn't find it difficult to accept it, because it's fast and good to build bamboo buildings.
Live in it first, and then slowly think about how to build a new building. This is the best way.
These bamboo buildings will not be wasted. Anyway, they are not heavy. A martial master can use blood and qi to transport them to other places as temporary residences for those who come later.
The bamboo buildings destined to be transitional products will naturally not be very large, so the Xiong family will be scattered in several bamboo buildings in this area.
After sitting down, several nephews and their wives were busy serving tea and water, and serving snacks.
During this period, he naturally had to ask, "Where is Mr. Gu from?"
"Looking so young, he must have learned martial arts well?"
"Since you can come to this blessed land, you must have a connection with the immortal mountain. I wonder which ancestor you believe in?"
Every word was polite, but it sounded like the first time I met my father-in-law and mother-in-law in my previous life and was checked for household registration.
Gu Ke responded with a smile, without any sense of impatience.
If he was afraid of trouble, he could just not come, or he would not have to come as Xiaoman's husband, which would save a lot of trouble.
But, how is that possible!
If you don't want to do it, do it to the best of your ability.
Unless you don't want to make your own happy fruit happy, it's best to set the tone from the beginning to reassure Father Xiong and Mrs. Xiong Wang.
After all, you signed someone's daughter as a lifetime employee-the kind that will start for hundreds of years without regrets.
Besides, Xiaoman can go to the master's house and go to the kitchen, and he is kind-hearted.
This kind of conscientious and extremely capable little hired worker is really worth the money, isn't it?
The question of the five nephews and their wives is just a breeze, without any difficulty.
After all, they are "suspected" to be the younger generation, how can they ask freely.
Now they are relieved, what should they do after "Aunt Xiaoman" recognizes their relatives?
They just made things difficult for their elders, do they still expect them not to make things difficult in return?
This is ancient times.
To put it cruelly, if Father Xiong really wanted to break the legs of these children and grandchildren, his sons and grandchildren could only stop and plead for mercy, and would never dare to hit their father.
Of course, Xiaoman is a girl, and she has married out, so she has no such qualifications.
The old couple of the Xiong family are kind, and it is impossible for them to do such a thing.
However, Xiaoman is the precious daughter that Xiong Wang has been thinking about for thirty years.
Xiong Xiaoxiao is even more doted on since she was a child because she looks like Xiaoman.
The children and grandchildren's wives have to be honest with Xiong Xiaoxiao, and they dare not mess with Xiaoman.
Besides, Xiong Xiaoxiao is eccentric and has been difficult to deal with since she was a child.
Would the "original" Xiaoman be more difficult to deal with? The answer seems easy to imagine.
Gu Ke had been chatting awkwardly with his five nephews and their wives for less than a cup of tea, when the sound of blood breaking through the air was heard outside.
Two figures stepped into the air and landed in front of the small building. The agitated blood blew up dust on the street.
They did not stop, and flashed into the small building, and their eyes met with Xiaoman.
The three of them were stunned at first, then turned into joy, and then inexplicably sad.
Xiong Wangshi flashed and pushed away the old man who was about to take a step, appeared in front of Xiaoman, and hugged her: "Xiaoman, my Xiaoman, wuwuwu..."
At this point, she couldn't help crying.
The old man who stood up again was a step late, so he could only stand behind her and pat Xiaoman's head with his hand: "You're back, it's good to be back."
Gu Ke didn't use his divine thoughts to comfort her.
After decades of separation, they are reunited now, and they need to vent their emotions.
He just quietly stepped back to avoid being a hindrance to the mother and daughter.
Before he could wait for what happened here, there was another sound of blood breaking through the air outside, and a person hurried in, it was Xiong Er.
Seeing Xiaoman crying with her mother, his face changed, and his eyes were sour: "Little sister, it's really a little sister..."
At this time, someone who came in a little behind him was confused: What? Shouldn't the little sister in this family be me?
But seeing the mother and... the elder sister crying together? The "genuine little sister" Xiong Xiaoxiao in the family didn't jump out to say anything at this time.
Are you kidding? Do you want to be spanked by your mother or by the elder sister who just came home? Otherwise, mixed doubles?
She was sure that at that time, no one in the family would come to save her except her father.
Well, that's not right. My father was also very concerned about the lost elder sister, and he would probably sit back and do nothing.
She quickly noticed Gu Ke with her eyes rolling around, and immediately became curious: Who is this person?
She then looked at her elder sister Xiaoman, whose figure was much better than hers in all aspects, and Xiong Xiaoxiao suddenly realized: With the elder sister's appearance, this person must be her brother-in-law!
Gu Ke noticed her gaze and smiled back.
Xiong Xiaoxiao suddenly slowed down for a beat, and then jumped again: Oh, this brother-in-law is incredible, with such a strong mind and will! Definitely above Wu Zong.
Gu Ke didn't care too much about what this sister-in-law was thinking.
The Xiong family has lived in Yulong Fudi for a month, and it's no different to be under his nose.
Now he even knows everyone better than this family knows each other.
This sister-in-law's personality is quite similar to Xiaoman, and she is also lively, jumpy and bold.
The difference is that she prefers to use her brain, doesn't have too many tricks, and has her own ideas.
To put it in a nice way, it is a clear and strong self-awareness, and to put it in an unpleasant way, it is very "independent" and arrogant.
The superficial politeness has nothing to do with who she actually respects.
He just used the harmony between heaven and man to release a little kindness, so that she would not make trouble as soon as she had the brain.
What? He said that he wanted to make Xiaoman happy and her family feel at ease? How does that conflict with releasing kindness?
Here, only the old couple have the grace of giving birth to Xiaoman, and they need to be properly respected.
Xiong Da, Xiong Er, and the sister-in-law are of the same generation.
If they are grateful, it is Xiaoman who has a great favor to them, and it is obvious who owes whom.
Of course, Gu Ke did not think that the sister-in-law's behavior was strange.
For a "big sister" who had never met, she could cry all of a sudden, either because her tear glands were well developed or because of her outstanding acting skills.
Unfortunately, Xiong Xiaoxiao is very similar to Xiaoman. When she was beaten, she would only wail dryly, and she really couldn't squeeze out a single tear.
It's better to laugh at others' jokes and cry.
That's why the little girl is not only paying attention to her big sister at this moment, but also has the leisure to pay attention to her brother-in-law.
This is human nature, no good or bad.
But today's family reunion drama is not over yet.
In the following time, Xiong Da came back - there was no way, as the only second-wheeled warrior among the first and second generation brothers and sisters of the Xiong family, what's the problem with arriving last?
His strength did not allow him to arrive first.
Looking at Xiaoman, he also excitedly shouted for his little sister to run up, and the real-Xiong Xiaomei next to him couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Then... Xiong Da was slapped by his father and went to the side.
After this slap, poor Xiong Da didn't dare to get too close, mainly because the inner circle was too crowded.
Xiong Wangshi held her lost and found baby daughter and refused to let go. Xiong Xiaoxiao paid attention to her brother-in-law for a while, and finally paid full attention to her eldest sister, and decisively went up to get intimate.
The mother and three were together, and Xiong Da and Xiong Er could only stand by, acting as the twenty-four filial husbands (fathers) and brothers (sons), asking about their well-being.
