Joe's Farming

Gu Xiuxiu got up early in the morning, fed the chickens and ducks at home, went to the kitchen to cook a pot of two-grain porridge, and woke up her husband and son.

Zhang Xiaobao is four years old and is the only son of Gu Xiuxiu and Zhang Tiedan. Gu Xiuxiu is going to take him back to her parents' home today.

Gu Xiuxiu is the eldest daughter of Gu Feng’s second uncle.

Their mother remarried and moved to Xiaxixi Village ten years later, and she later settled down in this village.

Xiaxixi Village is rich in water resources, and almost every household raises ducks and a lot of fish.

Gu Xiuxiu's husband's family had long since split up, and the three of them lived alone at the end of the village, not far from her mother's home. Although Zhang Tiedan was a taciturn person, he had chosen this location specifically to make it convenient for his wife to go back to her parents' home.

After the couple gave birth to their baby, there was no further news. Tiedan's mother would come to urge them to have a second baby from time to time.

Zhang Tiedan blocked their way back: "We have two sons, the eldest and the third, why are you staring at Xiuxiu?"

Every time this happened, his mother would go back crying, scolding him as she walked, saying, "You forgot about your mother now that you have a wife."

Gu Xiuxiu also scolded him: "Can't you just say we are asking for it? It will be over if you just coax it, but you still have to be scolded. If it doesn't work, I will say you are no longer capable."

Zhang Tiedan said with a bitter face: "No, a man can't say no."

Gu Xiuxiu: "So what? Having a little baby is not enough. It's not like I can't have another one."

Zhang Tiedan: "I don't want it anymore. Xiaobao is good enough."

Gu Xiuxiu was secretly happy. In fact, she just didn't want to have a child so soon, so she secretly took money to buy contraceptive soup, but she only drank it at the beginning. As a result, she never got pregnant afterwards.

When she heard what Zhang Tiedan said, she felt relieved and took Xiaobao to her parents' home.

As a result, before I reached my mother's house, I saw a carriage.

There are three days left until the New Year's Eve. The snow has not been that heavy these days, and the snow on the road has been compacted by passing vehicles and pedestrians.

Gu Feng and Gu Gang found out where their second aunt remarried, and it turned out to be the next village where they often went to buy ducks and fish.

The two of them took some food, took their husband and wife, and went to Xiaxixi Village together.

Wang Xiuzhi looked at her two nephews and their wives and husbands, her heart full of emotion, especially Gu Gang. When she saw him, she thought of Gu Erlang, and said with tears in her eyes:

"I didn't expect Gangzi to come back alive. That's great, that's great. Come in and sit down, Shuigen, find some benches for the children."

"Okay! Okay." Li Shuigen hurried to his neighbor's house to borrow a chair. The bench was so uncomfortable to sit on.

When Gu Gang thought of his second uncle, his eyes turned red.

Gu Erlang is a very responsible person and takes good care of his nephew.

He was very popular among the new recruits at the time, but he was the first to stick his head out and was an eyesore to some people, so he was sent to be a vanguard.

He came back safely the first few times, but died the last time.

"Second Aunt, no matter who your husband is now, you are the second aunt to Xiaofeng and me." Gu Gang said, and Gu Feng nodded.

"Second Aunt, this is a little gift from Xiaofeng and I."

Gu Gang handed a basket to Wang Xiuzhi, which contained the salted duck and bacon prepared by Qiao Yu and Hong Xiu, as well as twenty taels of silver for each of the two families.

At that time, my second uncle's pension was almost taken away by Old Lady Gu, and Wang Xiuzhi got two taels of silver.

Originally, Wang Xiuzhi wanted to remain a widow for Gu Erlang, but because of this incident, she completely fell out with Old Lady Gu and soon remarried to her current husband.

Her current husband, Li Shuigen, is also a miserable man. His wife died during childbirth, leaving behind neither mother nor child.

When Wang Xiuzhi got married, Gu Zaozao was only eight years old and Gu Xiuxiu was eleven years old.

However, Li Shuigen treated them like his own daughters, so now his daughters come back to see them from time to time.

"Uncle Gen, mother. Are you home?"

Gu Xiuxiu shouted as soon as she entered the courtyard.

Wang Xiuzhi wiped her tears and said to Gu Feng and Gu Gang: "Xiuxiu is back."

Wang Xiuzhi went to the door and was delighted to see her grandson and daughter coming together.

"Xiaobao, come here. Grandma will hold you."

Zhang Xiaobao opened his arms and let his grandmother hold him.

"Mom, who is coming to our house today?" Gu Xiuxiu looked suspiciously at the four young men standing in the main room.

They are all quite handsome and well dressed.

Especially the guy with light pink between his eyebrows, wearing a snow-white scarf, looks so good.

The man with a scar on his face turned around and called to her in a familiar voice, "Xiu Xiu."
