Yang Ruoqing had a smile in her eyes and nodded lightly, "Just understand. Although I won't get involved, I can stand behind you at any time to help you support the situation. You go and negotiate with the Gu family. No matter what they say, you will

Don't panic, hold on!"

Seeing Ping'er walking away with her back straight, Yang Ruoqing was also in a happy mood.

Ping'er did not go home immediately, but changed direction and went to the fields to find Zhou Sheng and Bingbing.

"It's not even noon yet, why are you here? Are you here to call us for dinner?"

Zhou Sheng held the handle of the plow in his hand and rolled up his trousers to his knees. He stood in the paddy field and looked up at Ping'er on the dam.

In front, Bingbing was also standing barefoot in the paddy field, holding a rope in his hand, one end of the rope passed through the old cow's nostril.

The two Zhou Sheng brothers bought this old cow together with their two cousins. It has been used for many years. Every year during the busy farming season, the old cow works from house to house. These days it is the Zhou Sheng family's turn.

.

"Lunch hasn't been cooked yet. I came here to tell you that someone is coming to our house," Ping'er said.

"Ah? There is a visitor at home? Where is the visitor?"

Zhou Sheng was a little surprised. It was the busy time of farming right now, and even if relatives and friends wanted to move around, they would not choose this time.

"You come up first, and I'll explain it to you in detail later." Ping'er winked at Zhou Sheng and then looked around.

There are fields all around, and villagers are working in the fields. If there is any movement in someone's field, you can hear it even if your voice is slightly louder.

What's more, when Ping'er came all the way and passed someone else's field, she had already entered the public's sight.

Zhou Sheng was surprised when he saw the look Ping'er gave her. He couldn't help but glance at her and found that her expression was not very good.

Zhou Sheng suddenly thought of something, his expression changed slightly, and he told Bingbing who was helping him lead the cow: "I'm going to talk to your Aunt Ping'er about something. You can take the old cow over there and eat it."

Hey, drink some water and take a rest."

Bingbing said "Yeah", took off the plow hood from the old cow's back, put it aside, and led the old cow ashore.

The old cow swung its tail and nibbled the grass and leaves on the roadside along the field ridge. The soldiers followed suit, their ears raised high, catching the conversation between their father and stepmother.

I didn't listen carefully and vaguely heard a few words, "Gu family", "father and son", "gift" and so on.

After a while, Zhou Sheng shouted to Bingbing: "I have something to do when I go home. I won't plow the fields this morning. I will let you graze the cow and feed it well."

"Um!"

"Remember, you must let it drink water. It's hot right now and it can't handle it without drinking water."

"Um."

"I'll call you after lunch later, so I'm leaving now."

…

In the yard of Zhou Sheng's house, the Gu family's father and son stood in the yard, embarrassed and in a dilemma.

Gu Zhihua looked around. The yard was filled with all kinds of platycodon and wheat straw. There was no place to stay. The sun was strong. The only locust tree in the yard was occupied by a nest of chickens.

There was a small patch of shade under the eaves, but after standing there for a while, he couldn't stand the smell of red peppers and garlic hanging in a row behind him.

"It's too much. They say you are a guest when you come to the door. Not only do they not invite us to come in to drink tea, they don't even leave a stool. They are really country people and don't know etiquette!"

Gu Zhihua took out a white handkerchief, wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, and whispered.

Next to him, Father Gu stood steadily. Although he was also sweating profusely due to the heat, his expression looked calmer than Gu Zhihua's.

"How long has it been and you are still worrying about this?" He glanced at Gu Zhihua and warned in a deep voice: "Don't forget the purpose of our trip. Whether the Gu family will have enough food and clothing or live on the street depends on today!"

Gu Zhihua's brows suddenly tightened, his eyes instantly darkened, and the disgust on his face became so unfounded.

Yes, today, he came to apologize and propose to marry Huahua again.

That's right, it was such a country girl that he didn't want to stay with for a moment longer. Today he came to beg to be his son-in-law. Isn't it ridiculous?

"Dad, I'm so thirsty, there's smoke in my throat!" Gu Zhihua's Adam's apple rolled and he said again.

Father Gu glanced at him and said, "Why do you have so many things to do? Go get some water from the carriage!"

"Dad, the water was all drunk on the road." Gu Zhihua said.

Father Gu said angrily: "Then just bear it, I will be thirsty for a while!"

Gu Zhihua tugged at the collar of his neck impatiently and frowned.

Father Gu sighed and looked around. The main room door behind him was locked, but the kitchen door was unlocked.

"If it doesn't work, go to the kitchen water tank and get a ladle of cold water for a few mouthfuls!"

"Dad, that's cold water. You'll get sick if you drink it..."

"Then just bear with it!"

"Master, how about... I go to the house next door to ask for a bowl of tea from the young master?" Uncle Gen's son was responsible for driving the carriage. Hearing what the Gu family's father and son said, he asked cautiously.

"Yeah……"

"Don't go!"

"father!"

"master……"

"I'm not allowed to go if I say you can't go. Gu Zhihua, please think clearly about your purpose of standing here today!" Father Gu pointed to the soles of his feet, his face was red under the sun: "If you don't want to take a good

After that, let’s go back now. Anyway, I’ve lived for half my life and I’ve enjoyed what I should enjoy. It doesn’t matter if I die now.”

"You are only twenty-five, and there is still a long way to go. If you are willing to live a life of poverty in the county, where others look down upon you, we will go back now!"

"The first thing I did when I went back was to sell all the servants at home, because our family couldn't afford to support them. We also sold the big house, and went back to the three old houses where your grandma used to live. Cooking, washing and washing.

Let your precious Shuhua do the child's work, and you go out and carry the big bag to earn money to support the family!"

"If you are willing to live like that, then let's go back now!"

Father Gu spoke so excitedly that his saliva splashed all over Gu Zhihua's face.

Gu Zhihua froze under the sun, his head drooped, looking like he was about to cry.

"I have provoked someone, and this kind of bad luck happened to me!" He looked frustrated and turned around in the direction of the kitchen to find some water to drink, otherwise he would meet his father-in-law later.

My mother-in-law is married, and I don’t have the voice to say anything nice to impress them.

Father Gu watched Gu Zhihua's back disappear into the kitchen and sighed heavily.

If we had known today, why bother in the beginning?

When he went to Qing'an County to study, he said that his son was not allowed to bring any young or young people with him, and it would be best to replace him with two older and more stable maids.

But he didn't listen, insisting on pleasing the eyes, saying that the servant girl looked sloppy.

In the end, he secretly picked up Shuhua, and there were a lot of warblers and swallows accompanying him, laughing and having fun. How could he study well?

If you don't study well, you haven't become a good person yet. It's really a sin to end up in this situation!
