Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

Xia Mingshuang saw the little Zaizai running over curiously, and immediately took away the red paper and asked Gu Yunshan to write something more serious.

Gu Yunshan held her hand and said, "Come, I'll teach you how to write calligraphy."

Xia Mingshuang pushed the little Zaizai into his arms and said, "Teach your little son how to write."

Gu Yunshan smiled and picked up the little Zaizai and taught him how to write calligraphy with calligraphy.

The little Zaizai was so happy that he rubbed his furry head against Gu Yunshan's chest. He liked it so much that his father and mother were both at home.

Miao Miao and Er Zhuang stopped playing chess and came over to write couplets with their father. Da Zhuang had no choice but to collect all the chess pieces on the chessboard and go over to read and write couplets.

Xia Mingshuang let them play while she and her third sister discussed cooking. They planned to make mackerel dumplings to eat.

Xia Mingshuang likes to cook delicious food. She likes to think about it whenever she has free time when she is not at work. She doesn’t need to cook too many exotic foods, so she can use the existing ingredients at hand.

Her second brother Xia Mingliang came over the day before yesterday and delivered a bag of frozen fish, including hairtail, mackerel, herring, and croaker.

Secretary Xiajiagou and the team leader were also very good at organizing things. Seeing that there was not much pork to distribute to the members during the New Year, and not wanting the members to suffer any more, they asked Xia Mingliang to drive people to the beach to use the farm machinery to eat cabbage and mushrooms. Change fish.

The fish on the beach are not worth much. People catch them by the boatload and leave them to eat after completing the task. I really can’t finish them all and I get tired of them.

At this time, transportation and preservation were inconvenient. Even though they were only two or three hours away from the island, no one would transport fresh seafood there, so they only transported some frozen sea fish to sell during the Chinese New Year.

Xia Mingliang pulled a large cart back, and the Xiajiagou commune members shared more fish if they had less pork.

The old party secretary was also thinking about Gu Yunshan and Xia Mingshuang, so he asked Xia Mingliang to send a big bag to his sister's house, so that Xia Mingshuang's family could eat as much as they wanted, and if there was not enough, they would be given away.

Xia Mingshuang said, "What else can I give as a gift? I can't even finish it. She even divided a lot of it among her relatives and friends."

The two were busy chopping stuffing when Sister Gu came.

Third Sister Gu was quite surprised, because since her divorce, the eldest sister has obviously gone back to her parents' home much less often than before. Third Sister Gu doesn't take the initiative to make random guesses, but Zhao Juying said that Sister Gu doesn't like her mother's family because she feels embarrassed about her sister's divorce and is afraid of bringing down the old Qiu family.

The third sister Gu didn't believe it. The second sister Gu Yanni meant this. She also said frankly that she didn't support her divorce and felt it was embarrassing. The eldest sister probably wouldn't.

When she and Zhan Jiayi were not divorced, her eldest sister was always concerned about how well she was doing and told her not to hold back too much. How could she become estranged because of her divorce?

However, Sister Gu has come back less often in the past two years. This may be because the old Gu family is separated, or maybe because Xia Mingshuang does not want to see Mrs. Gu and the two families do not interact with each other. Mrs. Gu's control over her children has declined, and Sister Gu is no longer manipulated by her own mother. , unwilling to come back and be taken advantage of.

In the past, the three sisters were required to return to their parents' home at a fixed time. For birthdays, Chinese New Year, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc., they had to return to their parents' home in advance to give gifts. No matter how much they were, even a few kilograms of grain, they had to be returned anyway.

Now that Mrs. Gu's prestige has been lost, the third sister doesn't want to see her, Gu Liangshan and Zhao Peihong are also alienated from her, and the daughters are naturally not as afraid of her as before.

Sister Gu was carrying a cloth bag with many patches on it. It was a cloth bag from a few years ago. Her clothes were also patched. She looked much more haggard than when she came back.

Third Sister Gu was surprised: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

After the divorce, she was much more energetic than before, but why didn't the eldest sister look bad?

Sister Gu looked tired and said with a smile: "It's good. It's been a while since I've been back to my parents' home. I'll come back to see you before the end of the year."

Xia Mingshuang greeted her for a few words, welcomed her into the house, and called Gu Yunshan and the children.

Sister Gu: "Yunshan, go and get busy. Don't delay things. Mingshuang, you guys are busy. I'll talk to Third Sister."

Xia Mingshuang saw that she was asking for the third sister by name, so he probably had something he didn't want to know about, so he didn't get involved and continued to chop stuffing and let them go to the room to talk.

Gu Yunshan and the children were writing couplets in the west room, the third sister and the eldest sister went to the east room to talk, and Xia Mingshuang was chopping stuffing in the main room.

In fact, the room was not soundproof, so she could hear normal speech.

Sister Gu actually came to borrow money from Third Sister, asking for 50 yuan.

Xia Mingshuang heard this and raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't care. Although the third sister lived with them, the third sister was an independent individual. She worked and made money by herself, so she didn't need to worry about anything.

The third sister did make money by working with Xia Mingshuang. She made hairpins for Song Yanmin, helped make jam, and boiled shampoo. Previously, she also helped people knit sweaters and crochet slippers. As long as Xia Mingshuang helped sell them, That can make money.

The third sister is usually reluctant to spend money herself, but she is generous to the children and always gives them pocket money. But the children had pocket money given by Xia Mingshuang and made money on their own, so they refused to take anything from her.

Da Zhuang led Gu Nianjun and Er Zhuang to assemble and sell radios, making a lot of money.

Miaomiao and Xia Mingshuang wrote manuscripts together, and each article could earn about ten yuan.

Er Zhuang is in charge of the consignment point. Although he can't make a lot of money, he can still make a lot of money.

Although Zaizai doesn't make money, he is well-behaved, handsome, smart and cute, and is very popular among people.

Not to mention members of his own family, not to mention his grandma's aunts and uncles, Lou Yuhui, Dr. Lou and his wife, Fang Rong, Song Yanmin, Zhou Chengguang, Zhang Danping and others all gave him a lot of pocket money, and he had to take some from his pocket when he met. Give him money, as if you would feel bad if you don't give him some pocket money when you see him.

He's so lovable.

In this way, Third Sister Gu couldn't spend any money except for food expenses, so she was saving it all.

She could easily come up with 50 yuan.

If the eldest sister asked for it in the past, the third sister would give it to her without even thinking about it, but now she has a problem with her intuition, "Eldest sister, tell me, what do you want so much money for?"

Sister Gu looked a little embarrassed and unnatural, "Just, isn't it true that your nephew is getting older and wants to marry a wife? He is asking for a 20 yuan gift."

Third Sister Gu was surprised and said: "Twenty? In the city, it's only twenty, right? In the countryside, eight or ten yuan is a lot. Who can ask for twenty?"

Sister Gu sighed, "It's not like I've been dating many families, but I finally found one I like."

Third Sister Gu: "If you are rich, good-looking, tall, strong, and of good character, no one should rush to get married, so why do you have to pay a lot of money to marry a wife?"

Generally speaking, if the young man is well-off and the woman is rushing to get married, a small amount of betrothal gift will be enough, and he will not ask for more at all, and the woman will even give him an extra dowry.

Sister Gu's eldest son, Qiu Fugui, is honest, handsome, and capable of working. The older girls like him, so he doesn't have to give high gifts to marry him.
