After dressing as a widow

"I'm sorry for you too. It would be great if Gu Da was here. I had a thought early in the morning..."

Lin Zhen didn't do anything, this Aunt Luo began to cry with tears in her eyes.

Lin Zhendao: "It's my fault, I've worked so hard for so many days, so I want to thank all the aunts and aunts."

"When my family is carried up the mountain, after this matter is over, I will give the aunt and aunt [-] Wen each, and I will thank the aunt and aunt for their hard work."

"Thirty dollars!" Aunt Luo's eyes widened, "Gu family, what you said is true."

Lin Zhen nodded: "There is no reason to take back what you said, and it is definitely not less than half a cent if you say it is thirty."

"However," Lin Zhen looked at them overjoyed, "I will find someone else to do the shopping these days, and I will share it with the aunts and aunts."

"..."

A few women look at me and you, not knowing how to respond to these words.

Those who were smarter knew that Lin Zhen had discovered their hands and feet, but they didn't point it out, but used such a roundabout way to calm things down.

Turning his eyes, he said: "Just follow what the Gu family said, we are indeed busy enough cooking, and it's just right for others to do the rest."

When she spoke, Aunt Luo next to her wanted to jump out, but she grabbed her tightly.

Lin Zhen looked at this wise man: "That's good, let's make a plate of shredded pork lettuce, a plate of cabbage, a plate of pork offal, and a pot of cabbage tofu soup for lunch today. Ladies and aunts, I will go first. "

After speaking, Lin Zhen left.

Aunt Luo hurriedly yelled at the people next to her: "Why did you tell him to leave? We can take money and things. In the future, if he finds someone to buy, we won't be able to get much."

Aunt Zhang, who was pulled, said: "Listen to his tone, will you tell us to get money as well as things?"

"Why not, now he is begging us to do something!"

Aunt Zhang said: "But you are not the only one who knows how to cook in the village. You have annoyed him, and you are trying to be quiet and find someone else to cook. What can you do with him?"

Aunt Luo was choked back.

Yes, people in the village will hire people to cook for red and white things, but they are all home-cooked dishes. As long as she says she will quit, there will be plenty of people to do it immediately.

After all, everyone knows that there is oil and water in the kitchen, not to mention the extra money Lin Zhen gave, even those food, they can get some back to hide and eat.

They were just relatives and brothers who felt that Gu Da had no help in the village. When he died, only Lin Zhen and Gu Shuanzi, a seven-year-old child, were left in the family, and they wanted to get something out of it.If you change to another house, you don't dare to have this thought.

Lin Zhen also figured out what these people were thinking, that's why he made that statement just now.

In this place where the clan forces report to the group, the frail Gu Dazhen has nothing to rely on except money. Instead of causing chaos, it is better to buy a little money for cleanliness.

And even if there is trouble, the replacement will be about the same.

Gu's family originally moved here from outside, and Gu Da left home without anyone to rely on.

For the purchase, Lin Zhen found a well-connected uncle and told him to buy sorghum rice and some vegetables. As for the cabbage, which is available in the village, he bought it in the village. After all, every family has these things, and if they can't sell them, Lin Zhen can still get some money.

As the sun rose gradually, all the men, women and children in the village came to eat and watch the excitement.

The gentleman specially invited to save the souls of the dead beat gongs and drums, and recited scriptures that no one could hear clearly. Gu Shuanzi, dressed in linen and filial piety, held a prayer flag. His dark face was tense.

Lin Zhen was so busy that he was dizzy, either one was looking for something, or the other was looking for something, his feet never stopped.

Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers was heard not far away, and the uncle who bought vegetables for Lin Zhen said, "It's a relative who came to express condolences. The Gu family hurriedly brought Shuanzi to greet him."

Lin Zhen looked up, and sure enough, he saw a dozen people coming this way, the first few had sackcloth tied to their heads.

He called Gu Shuanzi, and knelt on the side of the road to greet him. A young woman suddenly knelt down and hugged Gu Shuanzi, crying loudly: "Shuanzi!!!"

Gu Shuanzi stretched out his small arms and hugged her hesitantly.

The people who came with them hurriedly advised: "The Zhou family, get up quickly, the fate of this person is unknown, your illness is just recovering, don't let your illness recur."

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Yingmeizi's Shuanzi. How will you live without your parents at a young age?"

With just a few words, Lin Zhen understood who it was.

Gu Da's original partner, Gu Shuanzi's mother's family, came. The middle-sized, somewhat handsome man was Gu Shuanzi's uncle, and the one who was holding him and crying was his aunt.

After being persuaded by someone, Gu Shuanzi's aunt held back the pain: "Yes, Shuanzi is still young, and I still have to support him."

She stood up, took Gu Shuanzi's hand, and looked at Lin Zhen who also got up with the momentum.

Lin Zhen greeted her first: "His aunt is here."

Mrs. Ma looked at him, and the expression on his face became a little faint: "Come on, my sister is not blessed, she left her husband and son and left, but she still has someone at home when she goes, so Shuanzi can't be alone .”

Her husband Zhou Tao frowned, but looking at his nephew, who was only dressed in mourning, he didn't think it was too much.

The child lost his biological parents when he was young, and will live with this step-father from now on. If Lin Zhen has two hearts, the child will be pitiful.

They are strong now, which is why Lin Zhen dare not underestimate Shuan Zi.

Lin Zhen, who figured out what was going on inside, smiled, and said to the couple: "His father always said that everything in the house belonged to Shuan Zi, and now that his father is not here, he should also follow his father's wishes. Uncle Zhou and aunt don't worry."

"Come in, please, burn the incense and set up the table."

Mrs. Ma felt that Lin Zhen was still a sober person, so he nodded and pulled the embolism inside.

They were of the same generation as Gu Da, so it was impossible for them to wear hemp and filial piety for Gu Da, but their sons and daughters, like Shuan Zi, wore white cloths on their heads and linen clothes on their bodies, they first offered incense to Gu Da, and then kowtowed.

After they finished kowtowing, they greeted the relatives and friends they had brought to eat.

Mrs. Ma sat with a few relatives and friends, kowtow melon seeds and talked to the people next to her.

Her handkerchief twisted her arm, motioning her to look to the left.

When she looked around, she saw that the brother Gu Da married was talking to two men with a notebook, his face was pale and his waist was so thin that he could grab it.

"No wonder Gu Dahui married such a brother who can't bear children, so he looks like this, tsk tsk."

Mrs. Ma himself is mediocre in appearance, and after having three children, she is much older than her actual age. If her family background is not better than Zhou Tao, it is not his turn to marry the handsome Zhou Tao.

So what she dislikes the most are women or brothers who look like goblins. In her opinion, women or brothers have to be rough to be able to stand it. People like Lin Zhen are not good at first glance.

But at least it's her family, she said: "Gu Day has the ability to marry him and raise him, so that's okay."

The handkerchief patted her hand: "You just can't wake up. When Gu Da is around, no one can care about his appearance. Does it mean that Gu Da is not here?"

"I heard that he will only be married this year. Anyway, he will be married for the second time, and maybe he will be married for the third time and fourth time. If he walks away with the family's money, Shuanzi's child will be finished."

The melon seeds in Ma Shi's hand stopped, and his face was full of surprise: "No way, you heard what he said just now, everything in this house will be Shuanzi's from now on."

"Who wouldn't say something when the upper lip touches the lower lip, you just watch, you will have to toss in the future."

Ma Shi's original firm heart was shaken by her words, and she quietly pulled Zhou Tao on the way back after eating the banquet: "Master, Gu Da will be buried in a few days, what are you going to do with Shuanzi?" ?”

"What do you mean?"

"His step-father..." Mrs. Ma was thinking all the way, and simply made it clear, "I mean, why don't you bring Shuan Zi home, so that he is a seven-year-old child who can eat and dress by himself Let's take care of him for a few years, and when he grows up, we can marry him and do something for Yingmei."

Zhou Tao's heart skipped a beat, he didn't know when the family had this statement.

He said: "Although Gu Da is gone, but Lin Zhen is his father, he should live with Lin Zhen."

"Oh," Mrs. Ma clapped his hands, "You think that Gu Da married Lin to live a good life, not because of his good looks, and that Lin Zhen probably went for Gu Da's money."

"If Shuanzi follows him, and waits for him to collect the family's money into his hands, how can Shuanzi have a good life."

"The two of us don't talk about anything else, just because Shuanzi is Yingmeizi's own flesh and blood, and we won't treat him badly. It's best for him to follow us."

Zhou Tao and his younger sister Zhou Ying have a good relationship. Zhou Ying has been good-looking since she was a child, and she is the only daughter in the family. Zhou Tao suffered for a long time when she got married.

Naturally, he also loves his sister's son a little bit.

He was moved by what Ma Shi said.

That's right, it's a good idea to have your own family to take care of, Lin Zhen's appearance is indeed not enough to raise a child with peace of mind.

He looked at the road ahead: "We need to get Shuanzi's consent for this matter. It depends on whether he wants to follow us or stay at home."

Mrs. Ma nodded again and again: "I think so too, I'll ask after his father's funeral."

Lin Zhen didn't know that the couple thought of him so much. He only ate a mouthful of hot rice when it was dark. By the way, he asked the kitchen to heat some dishes and rice, and carried them to the front of the coffin on a square plate from the village: "Eat some .”

Gu Shuanzi hesitated for a moment, then knelt down to get the bowl and chopsticks.

Relying on his smallness, Lin Zhen straightened his legs and put them on the ground, seeing that he was about to return to the original state, he pressed them directly: "Your father loves you, and won't be angry because you didn't kneel down to respect him."

"Kneel down again, do you want these two legs?"
