Gu Jinli said: "Your brother may think that the county town is better and wants to spend the winter solstice in the county town."

Luo Huiniang knew that Gu Jinli was angry when she heard these sarcastic words, and said hurriedly: "Xiaoyu, don't be angry, my brother must have been delayed by official business."

He also felt that it was very insincere to say these dry words for three consecutive months, so he added: "Don't worry, my eldest brother will definitely come back tonight."

Gu Jinli said: "Let's talk about it later in the evening. Anyway, my family has done its best to be kind and righteous."

Luo Huiniang almost cried. She always thought that Sister Xiu would become her sister-in-law. When her family was building a house, they even built a courtyard with a spacious embroidery room, just for Sister Xiu.

But things have turned out like this, why have they turned out like this?

Gu Jinli didn't want to embarrass Luo Huiniang. He looked around and saw Luo's father and Chu family, and then asked, "Where are your parents?"

Luo Huiniang said: "Sister Xiu made a cotton-padded jacket for my mother, and your mother took her to try on the jacket. My father is preparing mutton in the kitchen. There are two sheep this year, and my father also bought a sheep. "

Perhaps out of guilt, the Luo family brought a lot of things for dinner this time, and also bought a live sheep, which Luo's father was killing.

Gu Jinli looked behind him and saw Qin Sanlang coming over, and said to him: "Brother Qin, you are doing a good job with the mutton. Go to the kitchen and help Father Robert prepare the mutton."

"Okay." Qin Sanlang nodded and went to the kitchen from the corridor on the right. He saw Luo's father washing the slaughtered mutton and said to him, "I'll do it."

Then he said: "Uncle Dashan is back, but Brother Luo Wu is not back."

Luo's father froze his hands and sighed: "Dalin, you and Sanlang do it first, I'll be here later."

"Hey, Brother Tiezhu, please go and do your work first." Gu Dalin came back from the county seat yesterday. Before he came back, he went to the county government office to ask Brother Wu when he would be back? Brother Wu said he must come back today, why didn't he come back?

Their families all knew about the matter between Brother Dashan's family and Brother Tiezhu's family, and they had always felt that the two families must get married. How could they know that the children of both families were so old, and they still hadn't decided on the marriage.

Luo's father had already washed his hands, put on the cotton-padded jacket he had taken off, and went to the Gu family's livestock shed.

Gu Dashan was unloading the mule cart. Luo's father saw him and came to help. After the two separated the mule cart from the mules, one put the mule cart away and the other tied the mules.

"Da Shan, don't take it for granted. It's our family, not ours. If that kid doesn't come back today, I will go to the county to drag him back. I'll beat him or scold him as you please." Luo's father was also very worried. He asked Luo Wu, Why didn't the family go to the Gu family to propose marriage? The boy just said that the house in the county town hadn't been completed yet and asked him to wait.

Why wait? The Chu family finally let go. If they wait any longer, the two families will become enemies.

But that boy was very stubborn, just like when he wanted to marry Sister Xiu, this time he refused to let his family go to the Gu family to propose marriage.

Gu Dashan didn't want Luo's father to be in trouble, so he said with a wry smile: "Brother Luo, don't say that. I watched Brother Wu grow up, and he is a good young man. He must have had errands in the county and couldn't get away, so he delayed his return." He’s from home. Let’s celebrate the winter solstice first, maybe he’ll be back soon.”

Gu Dashan was able to marry the Cui family and register the Cui family, all because of the help of the Luo family. While escaping from famine, I encountered many evil people on the road, and the Luo family father and son helped fight them away. Every time the fleeing team took a break, Hui Niang would come to guard Sister Xiu and Brother Cheng.

Gu Dashan always kept the kindness of the Luo family in his heart and did not want to have any grudge against the Luo family because of his children's marriage.

Luo's father felt even more guilty after hearing this, so he could only work hard to make up for it.

Gu Jinli took Luo Huiniang back to the courtyard where he lived to change clothes. After changing clothes, he went to the main room next door.

The sisters live in the left and right wings of the courtyard, and the main room is shared. Gu Jinxiu will do embroidery here, and she will settle accounts and take a nap here.

"Sister, I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?" Gu Jinli asked Gu Jinxiu as soon as he entered the room.

Gu Jinxiu came back to her senses and said, "There are tofu curds, roasted tofu, and roasted chestnuts. Huiniang and Xiaohua made them for lunch. They left a lot for you. You can eat them."

As he spoke, he looked toward the courtyard door and listened to the sounds outside.

Gu Jinli felt very distressed when he saw it. After thinking about it, he simply said: "Sister, Brother Luo Wu is not back."

After hearing this, Gu Jinxiu's eyes turned red, and she quickly smiled and said, "I guess I was delayed by something."

Gu Jinli snorted coldly: "Maybe."

Luo Huiniang said hurriedly: "What Sister Xiu is saying is that my brother has already said that he will definitely come back on the winter solstice and will buy us some new silk flowers."

Gu Jinli: "The silk flowers made by my eldest sister are much prettier than those sold in the county. Your brother doesn't need to buy them."

Luo Huiniang glared at Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, don't talk."

Gu Jinli hummed, leaning on a soft couch in the main room and eating roasted chestnuts... Brother Qin was not here, so she had to peel the chestnuts by herself, which was really annoying.

"Xiaoji, Xiaoji, are you back? Come and help me peel the chestnuts."

Brother Cheng heard this as soon as he walked into the yard and said to Gu Jinli: "Second sister, you are so lazy. You have to find someone to peel even a chestnut."

Tian Xiaohua followed Gui Niu and Jin Niu in and immediately said: "Sister Xiaoyu, I'll peel it for you."

Tian Xiaohua admired Gu Jinli the most. As long as Gu Jinli asked, she would be willing to help Gu Jinli do anything. After taking Gui Niu and Jin Niu into the main room, she started peeling chestnuts.

"Gui Niu also helps Sister Xiaoyu peel chestnuts." Gui Niu is six years old, and she looks very cute like Yuxue. I heard the third grandma said that she looks like Mr. Xie, and she looks good.

Gu Jinli pulled the two little knots on her head: "Guiniu is so good."

Jin Niu protected Gui Niu's hair and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, don't pull Gui Niu's hair. It's difficult to tie it up."

Jin Niu is the daughter of Yan and Gu Damu, and is Gui Niu's cousin. She has taken Gui Niu with her since she was a child. Now the two sisters live in the same room and have to comb Gui Niu's hair every morning. Because her hair was difficult to comb, Jin Niu protected Gui Niu's hair like silver.

Gu Jinli withdrew his itchy hand, picked up the spoon to eat the tofu pudding, and looked at Gu Jinxiu next to him. Although she kept her head down, Gu Jinli still saw her red eyes.

Gu Jinli said to Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, your brother Sanlang is roasting mutton. You can take Guiniu and the others to eat some meat."

"Okay." Tian Xiaohua listened to Gu Jinli and immediately ran away with Jin Niu and Gui Niu.

Gu Jinli's eyes rolled: "Gu Jincheng, this is the girl's house. Don't stay here all the time. Leave quickly. The eldest brother is preparing gifts for Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Zheng. You go and help."

Brother Cheng glanced at his second sister and ran away immediately when he saw an expression on her face that said she would be doomed if she didn't leave.

Sister Li was a smart person. When she saw this, she pulled Luo Huiniang out of the main room and closed the door carefully.

Gu Jinxiu's hand holding the embroidery needle was shaking a little and she didn't dare to look at Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli came over, squatted next to her, and said to her: "Sister, if your marriage to Brother Luo Wu doesn't work out, don't be too sad."

Gu Jinxiu held back her tears and asked, "Is it really impossible?"

He added: "I'm not squeamish. I can work. I used to go to the fields a lot in my hometown. Although life has been better these past few years, I still remember how to do farm work."

Gu Jinli frowned: "Sister, our family is different from before. No matter who you marry in the future, you don't have to farm anymore... This is not a question of whether you farm or not, or whether you are squeamish or not. It's a question of Luo Wu not wanting to marry you. You do you understand?"

Gu Jinxiu didn't believe that Luo Wu didn't want to marry her. She shook her head and said: "Brother Luo Wu is very good to me. He has protected me since I was a child. In order to prevent me from being beaten, he was beaten all over by my grandmother; on the way to escape, There are evil people who want to take advantage of our women, but he and Father Robert help our family drive away the evil people time and time again; he will buy me things as soon as he gets his salary..."

Gu Jinli listened to Gu Jinxiu counting Luo Wu's good deeds, and was helpless. He could only smile and said: "I just want the eldest sister to be mentally prepared. As for whether it can happen, it's too early to say now. It's not dark yet. Maybe Luo Wu Will be back."

After hearing this, Gu Jinxiu smiled and continued her embroidery work with her head down.

After a moment, she suddenly said: "I am used to Brother Luo Wu and the Luo family. If I marry into someone else's family, I will feel unsure." She will be scared.

Only Brother Luo Wu made her feel the most reliable.
