Chapter 468 Can you get off the bed?
"Do you really think it's okay?"
Lu Xiaocao nodded without hesitation, "Well, thank you, sister, for finding a good home for Shengxi."
Gu Qingqing shook her head slightly, as if to deny that she had done nothing, and then said, "You are Shengxi's biological sister, so you two can talk about some things. You have a chance to ask her opinion. If she agrees, you can get engaged first. If she disagrees or she is confused and can't make up her mind, then we can wait and see."
She couldn't tell this to the little girl Shengxi. If she told her about this, she might not dare to express her true feelings.
Everything will be done according to your will.
"Well, I'll tell her when I get the chance."
Gu Qingqing nodded. Seeing that the matter was settled, she stood up and opened the cabinet in the west wing, which contained rolls of cloth of various colors.
"I will bring a few feet of cloth tomorrow and ask my mother to make me a dress. Please help me choose a good color."
"Are you really looking at something? I thought Sister was just making up an excuse."
Gu Qingqing chuckled, "Excuses are excuses, the things are really good. By the way, take a look at the color you like and choose one for Zhuangzhuang. Then we'll see if you can make it or let Shengxi or mother make it. Oh, and there's Shengxi fabric!"
The oil lamp was as dim as a bean, casting a pale yellow haze on the fabric, but the two were still able to choose the most suitable fabric under such conditions.
The two of them chose a piece of crimson fine cotton cloth for Gu Jia.
Although it was given to Zhuangzhuang to choose, he really had no choice, because there was only one piece of indigo material in Gu Qingqing's collection.
Seeing that it was her turn, Lu Xiaocao said to Gu Qingqing in a pleasant tone, "Sister, now that you have shown me your storeroom, I will not be polite. I will definitely choose something nice for myself."
Finally, Lu Xiaocao chose Begonia Red for herself and Bright Red for Shengxi. These are all used for winter clothes, and they will look better if the colors are brighter.
Gu Zhuangzhuang's was left until the end, Gu Qingqing pulled one more person out, and finally he and Xiaocao left the west wing.
the next day.
When Gu Qingqing got up, Lu Xiaocao and the others had already arrived in town. Shengxi saw her chattering about the beautiful fabrics without any shyness at all.
Gu Qingqing thought that Xiaocao might not have told her yet.
The family had dinner early, took the fabric for clothes, and selected two bright quilt covers. She took fifty fresh chicken and duck eggs each. The preserved egg business has always been good, and she has been intentionally controlling the supply. There were not many left at home, so she only took twenty eggs.
A jar of lard, a jar of lard residue, a braised chicken, a jar of pork intestines, and thirty kilograms of new rice produced this year.
The most important thing is the six taels of silver dividend that Xiaocao received this month, as well as his mother's big and cute grandson and a dog.
Wen Wuyan drove a mule cart carrying six people, big and small, towards Shuangxi Village.
......
"Mom, Dad can walk now with the help of a stick. I thought he wouldn't beat us again, right?" Gu Zhuangzhuang was sitting at the door of the kitchen, holding a shelled sorghum ear in one hand and a rope to tie the sorghum heads tightly in the other.
Gu Zhuangzhuang is using a hemp rope to tie a pot brush for cleaning the pot.
There were two tied brooms on the side, and Gu Jia was sharpening the broom handles with a kitchen knife.
Hearing this, Gu Jiashi said confidently, "He doesn't dare."
When Gu Zhuangzhuang heard his mother say this, he was too lazy to think about it. He just said "Oh" and stopped talking.
So, when Wen Wuyan drove the mule cart with his family there, all everyone saw was Gu Daquan walking tremblingly in the yard with a stick in both hands.
There was a chair not far behind her, so she could sit down and rest if she was tired.
"Brother-in-law, sister, why are you here?" Gu Zhuangzhuang threw Gao Liansui in his hand and went to greet the mule cart.
Wen Wuyan nodded to Gu Qingqing, then looked at Gu Daquan in the yard, took two steps forward and greeted him, "Dad, are you feeling better now? Can you get off the kang and walk?"
Gu Daquan had been lying on the kang for a year, and he didn't lose weight at all. Suddenly, he saw his son-in-law coming. He smiled happily but reservedly and said, "Wuyan is here. Your mother is in the kitchen."
In fact, he didn't need to say anything, because Gu Jia from the kitchen had already come out.
In the yard, there were a series of greetings and joyful voices from grandma, uncle, grandpa, Daxin, Wenxin, etc.
Some kissed the child, some took things, and Gu Qingqing got out of the car with a big belly and looked at Gu Daquan. She wondered how his waist would get better tomorrow. Did he really meet a great doctor?
Gu Daquan had no idea what his daughter was thinking. He just saw her staring at him. He felt a pain in his waist and his feet involuntarily stepped back half a palm. He pretended to be calm and said, "Qing, Qingqing is back."
Gu Qingqing noticed the twitching on his face and the hollowness in his tone, and smiled at Gu Daquan with a curled mouth, "Come back and see if you can get off the kang now."
Just now, his son-in-law said the same thing. Gu Daquan felt happy when he heard it. Now he heard his daughter say the same thing. He subconsciously put his arms behind his back to protect his waist and began to stutter when he spoke. "I'm better now. I'll go back to the house."
After Gu Daquan finished speaking, he staggered back to the east hall.
Yes, it was thought that the east hall was where grandma lived. After grandma left, Gu Jia and Gu Daquan moved back to the east hall. As for the original east room, it is now used to store grain.
Gu Jia was holding her grandson in her arms and looking at the things being taken down from the car. Just as she was about to wonder what so many things were being taken down for, she saw a puppy jumping down from the car.
The puppy underestimated the height of the mule cart and overestimated itself. Perhaps it wanted to land steadily, but in reality it landed on its face after jumping down, and then fell on its back.
"Hey, Qingqing, don't you already have Dahei at home? Why do you raise another dog? What do you want to do with so many?" Gu Jia looked down at the dogs on the ground in surprise.
"Grandma, grandma, this cat is not ours. My aunt caught it and asked you to raise it. She said it will follow you wherever you go in the future and can protect you." Wenrou hurriedly told her aunt her plan.
"Ah? Raise it for me?" When Gu Jia heard that her daughter-in-law bought it for her, she felt sorry for the money and squatted down, making a slurping sound towards the puppy's mouth.
The puppy didn't see that there was no full moon, but was still very happy. He ran over when he heard the sound, and started scratching the hand with his paws.
Gu Jia was feeling sorry for the money just now, but when she was touched by this furry ball, she immediately became happy.
While she asked her daughter to take the child into the house, she led the dog Tuanzi into the house.
The children couldn't stay in the house, so they took the dog to the yard to play. Wen Wuyan was also dragged out by Gu Zhuangzhuang to see the mule, leaving only Gu Qingqing and Gu Jiashi in the house.
"How can we leave?" Gu Qingqing asked.
