Chapter 427 Family Happiness
Gu Jia followed her daughter-in-law and niece and sat on a donkey cart with a bamboo basket and a small package on it. The basket contained vegetables picked from the backyard.
In the small package were a few sets of clothes for changing, and he walked towards Niutoushan Village.
This was not her first visit to her daughter's house, but she felt it was the happiest one.
As for Li Xin and Dahei?
Naturally, it stayed in Shuangxi Village.
In Li Xin's words, he would stay here for two days to see how his uncle took care of the house.
Li Xin watched his grandmother and Wen Xin leave, and then he said to Gu Zhuangzhuang, "Uncle, just pretend that I'm not at home. Just do whatever you need to do. I will help you with whatever you do. If you miss anything, I will remind you."
Gu Zhuangzhuang raised his head and rubbed Li Xin's head deliberately, "I have been warned by my elder sister for a long time, and now I have to leave you alone at home."
As Gu Zhuangzhuang spoke, he walked towards the west hall.
After entering the house, I began to solemnly pack the eggs and duck eggs brought back from my sister's house into jars and then placed them in the cabinet.
Looking at the oil stains on the paper and smelling the peach crisp scent emanating from it, Gu Zhuangzhuang turned to Li Xin and said, "My sister asked me to eat this slowly, but I had a good meal at my sister's house today, so I don't feel like eating it now, so I won't share it with you."
Li Xin believed it and to show that he didn’t like it, he said, “Uncle, I’m tired of it. I don’t like it.”
Gu Zhuangzhuang, who was reluctant to eat at first, heard that Li Xin was fed up with eating at Ajie's house. He looked up at Li Xin with a pair of eyes full of resentment, "Ajie treats you so well. I don't even want to eat, but you are fed up with it. Daxin, why didn't Ajie ask me to stay at her place for a few days?"
Whenever Gu Zhuangzhuang thought about the more delicious food at Ajie's, his mouth started to water.
Li Xin pursed his lips towards him and said, "Uncle, it seems that Auntie misses Grandma and wants to take her over to talk." Li Xin looked Gu Zhuangzhuang up and down and said, "Uncle, you can't talk to Auntie even if you go there."
"But I can do the work." Gu Zhuangzhuang said somewhat unconvinced.
Li Xin wanted to say that there was no shortage of people to do the work at home, but seeing his uncle sulking, he didn't say anything to make him unhappy, and instead said, "Uncle is the best at work, so what are we going to do now?"
Gu Zhuangzhuang thought about what he usually does at this time?
Finally, he scratched his head and said, "Let's go to bed. I didn't get enough sleep at noon today, so I'm a little sleepy now."
Li Xin felt some sweat on his forehead as soon as he heard it. He pulled Gu Zhuangzhuang, who was about to get up and go out, and reminded him, "Uncle, when grandma left, didn't she say that there wasn't much pig grass left at home, and asked us to go get some in the afternoon?"
Gu Zhuangzhuang smiled at Li Xin with a clever look, "I just lied to you. I'm going to go see my dad, and then we'll go get grass for the pigs."
Now it was Li Xin's turn to scratch his head. Was his uncle making fun of him?
......
In the afternoon, Gu Qingqing told Zhao Dong, Li Yu and Zhang Heshu about the general shape of the shelf she wanted. They quickly understood and started to make it.
Although she can't do heavy work, she can still lend a hand and talk about the general style of the item she wants.
Zhao Nan and Zhao Zhong were left to help her carry the donkey dung and some trampled hay from the donkey shed in the backyard to the manure pit outside in bamboo baskets.
The donkey is no longer kept in the backyard, so these dirty things must be cleaned out.
In addition, water had already been added to the manure pit and no more manure could be dumped into it, so they pushed the donkey manure to the side.
It was not until Gu Qingqing heard the faint sound of a bell that she went from the backyard to the front yard.
Wenrou, who was in charge of taking care of Xiao Nuannuan in the front yard, naturally heard the bell ringing. Seeing her mother coming out from the backyard, she happily shouted to Gu Qingqing with excitement, "Mom, is grandma here? I'll go see."
The little girl was clearly asking if it was true in the last second, and ran out in the next second, leaving behind Old Yang who was teasing Gu Qi and Xiao Nuannuan who was left in the yard by her.
"Uncle Yang." Gu Qingqing just called out and there was no further words. It was obvious that she was just saying hello.
Old Yang continued to tease little Gu Qi and asked with a smile, "Is the child's grandmother here?"
"It should be. I asked Xiaocao to drive the donkey cart to pick her up. I'll go out and take a look too." Gu Qingqing said as she took Xiao Nuannuan's hand.
"Well, go ahead." said Old Yang.
Gu Qingqing didn't say anything to Old Yang. She lowered her head and said to Xiao Nuannuan, "Let's go and welcome grandma."
"Wai Neck Wai Neck" Little Nuan Nuan didn't remember anything about her grandmother. She held her mother's hand and walked quickly. She wanted to find her elder sister.
When the donkey cart finally arrived at the door of the house, Wenrou immediately ran up to Gu Jia and shouted, "Grandma, you are finally here. Come down quickly. I will take you to my sister's and my room. Mother has already made the bed for you."
Gu Jia smiled so hard that her eyes were not visible. "Okay, okay, I can get down by myself. You don't need to help me."
Wenrou saw that her grandmother didn't need her support, so she immediately looked around the car, then stretched her neck to look at the main road leading to her home, but still couldn't see Dahei and Li Xin. She exclaimed, "Why didn't Daxin and Dahei come back?"
Gu Jia, who had already gotten off the car, said to her, "Daxin and Dahei are staying at grandma's house. He said he will stay with your uncle there for two days and then come back."
"Sister, sister," Xiao Nuannuan, who came out of the house, was not very scared of her grandmother. She saw her eldest sister and second sister. Especially since she hadn't seen her eldest sister recently, she let go of her mother's finger and ran towards her eldest sister.
"Hey, Xiao Nuannuan, you're here to welcome grandma too, right? Come here for a hug." Gu Jia said as she stretched out her arms and picked up Xiao Nuannuan from the ground.
In the end, she staggered towards Wen Xin and said, "Sister, Sister."
"Yeah, sister is right next to you, right? Do you miss grandma?" Gu Jia asked while deliberately shaking her.
Gu Qingqing looked at the large bamboo basket of vegetables on the car and asked in confusion, "Mom, I don't have any vegetables at home, why did you bring so many?"
Gu Jia was so busy admiring the little one that she answered Gu Qingqing's question without any hesitation, "I picked all the vegetables that could be picked from the vegetable garden behind the house. Zhuang Zhuang may not be able to take care of them well if I leave them at home. Rather than letting him spoil them, I might as well bring them to your house and eat them all."
Gu Qingqing laughed in silence. She looked at the bamboo basket of vegetables but didn't dare to carry it. She just picked up the small package of clothes in the car and said, "What mother said makes sense. Let's go home first. Wenrou said she wanted to sleep with you at night, so I made a blanket for mother in the east wing."
When Gu Jia entered the room, she saw Old Yang taking little Gu Qi with him. She hurried forward, unable to hide the joy on her face, "Brother Yang, you have worked hard these days. You have to help Qingqing take care of the child."
Old Yang smiled and waved his hand again, "I live and eat here, so I'll help out."
Gu Jia held Xiao Nuan Nuan in her arms and walked towards little Gu Qi. Her eyes were filled with her grandson. "Gu Qi, my little Gu Qi's grandma misses you so much."
Little Gu Qi couldn't speak yet, and no one knew to what extent he could recognize his grandmother after seeing her. But from his upright posture, it was clear that the guidance brought by blood made him feel very close to Gu Jia.
Gu Jia looked at little Gu Qi, then at little Nuannuan in her arms, then turned her head to see her other two granddaughters beside her, with her daughter and daughter-in-law following behind them.
Except for her son and son-in-law, all her closest relatives are here. At this moment, Gu Jia suddenly felt extremely satisfied. Can this be considered as enjoying life?
Is this what scholars call family happiness?
