The road in the village is not easy to walk, especially to the home of Xiao LIULANG and Gu Jiao. There are so many potholes that it is easy to sink the wheels.

The mule cart stopped at the entrance of the village.

"Brother Xiao." The classmate took the lead in jumping out of the carriage, reached out to help Xiao LIULANG down, and then carried Xiao LIULANG's burden down.

After Xiao LIULANG stood still, he looked back at Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao jumped out of the carriage and carried the basket on her back.

Xiao LIULANG took back his eyes and said to his classmate, "go back, you don't have to send me any more."

It's really late, and the coachman is a little impatient.

The classmate then said, "OK, I'm leaving. Don't forget the exam in three days. If the Academy doesn't have a holiday that day, I won't come to pick you up. Remember to go yourself. "

"Well." Xiao LIULANG nodded lightly and took the burden.

It's hard to walk at night. They don't have a lantern in their hands. Gu Jiao doesn't move and waits for Xiao LIULANG in silence.

The classmate glanced at her coldly, pulled Xiao LIULANG away, and whispered: "brother Xiao, you are good at taking the exam in three days. If you pass the exam, you will be able to live in the Academy. You don't have to be bullied by this evil woman any more! Don't worry about the leg treatment. I'll continue to inquire about Doctor Zhang. Oh, and you can eat sweet scented osmanthus cake yourself. Don't take advantage of that wicked woman! "

When Gu Jiao came back from the market with her basket on her back, she was sweating all over, but she was all dried on the mule cart. Her red face was white with cold, and she had some eyes in the moonlight.

Xiao LIULANG's remaining light swept her, and her classmate wanted to explain a few more words, but Xiao LIULANG interrupted: "I know, you go back."

The classmate opened his mouth, but Xiao LIULANG didn't pay attention to him any more. He grabbed the burden in one hand and clubbed the crutch in the other, and turned to his own direction.

Gu Jiao keeps up.

Gu Jiao keeps a good distance from him and doesn't make people feel too close to him, but if she falls down, she can help people in time.

However, Xiao LIULANG was very familiar with this section of the road, and nothing happened at home.

Now it's all dark, and every door is closed. Only Xue Ningxiang comes out to pour the bath water, and is stunned at the door for a while.

"Ah Xiang, why don't you come in? What are you looking at? "

Inside, Xue Ningxiang's mother-in-law was lying on the bed and asked her hoarsely.

Xue Ningxiang blinked and said, "no, nothing."

She must be mistaken. How could Xiao LIULANG and that little fool get together? Although they are two, they are more enemies than enemies.

Old house.

Today is the big room cooking, Zhou and her daughter Gu Yuee will be hot food end to the main room, set the dishes.

In Gu's family, women don't eat at the table. There are only Mr. Gu and his eldest son Gu Changhai, his second son Gu Changlu and three grandchildren on the table.

The old lady Wu, with her two daughter-in-law and granddaughter Gu Yuee, sat in the kitchen with a bowl.

Mr. Gu is Li Zheng. He is more promising than most of the villagers who only know how to dig food in the field. Everyone can't see meat several times a year, but he can eat twice a month.

Today is meat day.

Pork stewed cabbage, even the soup exudes a strong meat flavor.

But the pork is not much, one person can not eat two chopsticks.

After Gu Changhai and Gu Changlu took a piece of each, they did not dare to make the idea of this bowl of meat any more, and turned to take pickles and pickles.

Gu didn't eat much himself. He only took a small piece and gave Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Ershun a small piece respectively. The rest was given to Gu Dashun.

Gu Xiaoshun carefully counted, full five, but also all big!

"Why do you give it to him?" Gu Xiaoshun muttered bitterly as he picked up rice.

Gu Ershun said softly, "that's because the elder brother is a scholar. We'll point to the elder brother."

When he said this, he could not help glancing at the meat in Dashun's bowl.

He is greedy.

It's really greedy.

But he is used to this kind of discrimination.

There are so many men in the family, only the elder brother is the material for studying. This year, the elder brother of Qiuwei was admitted to the county school, which is higher than his grandfather's original achievement.

"Cut." Gu Xiaoshun rolled his eyes, "my brother-in-law is also a scholar. Why don't you call him to eat meat?"

"How can it be the same? Big brother has been admitted to the county school. How can he compare with big brother? "

"My brother-in-law just didn't take the exam."

The two brothers still had to fight. Mr. Gu slapped the chopsticks on the table, and they shut up in an instant.

Even Gu Changhai and Gu Changlu have some problems.

The room was horribly quiet.

"Second brother, have you read the book I gave you? There are notes I made on it. You look good. If you don't understand, please ask me

It's Gu Dashun.

He is the only one who dares to speak against the old man's anger.

His voice is clear and smooth, and his tone is gentle. He really has the style of a scholar.

How does Mr. Gu feel about this golden sun? His anger soon dissipated.

Gu Ershun was flattered and said with a smile, "thank you first

Mr. Gu had taught all his three grandchildren, but only Mr. Gu Dashun passed the exam. Later, he could not teach him any more, so he sent him to a private school in the town.

Private schools are too expensive, and family care can only afford the best.

Gu Ershun dreams of being the same as Gu Dashun.

"Don't bother your brother these days. He wants to take an exam," Gu said

Gu Ershun nodded respectfully: "I see, grandfather."

Gu Xiaoshun didn't want to stay much longer, so he left after three or two stutters.

He wanted to go out, but he couldn't get through the front door of the main room or the back door of the kitchen. Wu's family was no easier to deal with than the old man.

Gu Xiaoshun decided to climb over the wall.

But he just climbed to half, was caught by Liu: "Gu Xiaoshun! Come down to me

Gu Xiaoshun was dragged down by Liu.

Liu slapped him on the head and said, "your father's milk is here, and you don't want to live, do you?"

"Don't hit me on the head!" Gu Xiaoshun is impatient.

"Why are you out so late?"

"My sister hasn't come to dinner all day. I'll go and see her."

Liu snorted: "it's just right that she doesn't come. What are you going to see? When you become a relative, you run to your mother's house day by day. What's it like? "

Gu Xiaoshun said: "the third uncle and the third aunt didn't say that before they died. Yenai promised the third aunt that my elder sister would recruit a son-in-law in our family. The one surnamed Xiao is the son-in-law, and my elder sister is still our family."

Liu said he couldn't do it, and gave him a good pinch!

Gu Ershun is obedient but useless. Gu Xiaoshun is neither obedient nor useful. She gave birth to two children with handles!

--

Gu Jiao bought rice noodles in the market, but she didn't expect Xiao LIULANG to buy some more white steamed bread.

Gu Jiao went to the kitchen to heat up the steamed bread.

It was Xiao LIULANG who made the fire.

Gu Jiao has no affectation.

When she went out, the wound on her wrist was not serious. But she did something in the market and the wound was torn. Also thanks to her suspicion of insecurity at home, she took a medicine box with her and bandaged it on the spot.

Neither of them mentioned the three corn flour steamed buns in the morning. Xiao LIULANG didn't explain, and Gu Jiao didn't question.

"Just eat here. It's warm." Gu Jiao said. She was so frozen that she kept shivering.

Xiao LIULANG hesitated for a moment, and sat down on the small Wu beside Gu Jiao.

They were so close to each other that he could see the birthmark on Gu Jiao's left face.

In the past, Gu Jiao was covered with thick powder, but now she has a plain face and no cover.

Xiao LIULANG's pretty lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.

Just as she would not ask about him, he would not ask her.

This is two unrelated people, there is no need to have a deeper involvement.

Steamed bread with white flour has no flavor, but Gu Jiao is hungry all day, so she is not picky about it.

Gu Jiao choked and went back to her room to drink. When she got back to the kitchen, Xiao LIULANG was no longer there. There was a bag of things on the small bench.

Gu Jiao opens it.

It's sweet scented osmanthus cake.
