Chapter 6 Discovery of the Patriarch

In the end, there is still no conclusion on whether to buy land or do business. Gui Chongyang came back from a long distance. No matter what the people in the second house of the Gui family thought about him, a reception banquet was indispensable.

It is said to be a welcoming banquet, but not long after the Dragon Boat Festival, there is still half a piece of bacon for festival gifts in the kitchen. Even if there are meat dishes, stir-fried bacon, stir-fried fish with cabbage, eggplant with garlic, dried radish, and peppers with four dishes, and dried millet rice, although it is just an ordinary food in the countryside, it looks full of color, fragrance and flavor.

Grandma Gui's second grandma is a butcher, and she has a good skill in the stove. She taught her daughter-in-law step by step. Although the food cooked by the masters in the county is not as good as that of the chefs in the countryside. However, it is a woman's house, and it is not easy to show up in public. There are only a limited number of families who can invite their mother-in-law to go out for a banquet, which is not considered a business.

These four dishes in front of you are Yang's craftsmanship.

Although he didn't finalize buying land or doing something, Yang had hope after having money. He was really afraid of being poor over the years. When he encountered difficulties, he really had no place to borrow copper coins. Whether it was resentment or anger, it was nothing before marrying a daughter-in-law. Naturally, he was happy to curry favor with Gui Chongyang.

If it were other people's families, even if the customers were coming, there would be no difference between men and women. Only men would accompany the guests, and women would use it in the kitchen. But Mei's family is not an outsider, but the niece of Grandpa Gui Er, and Gui Chun's cousin naturally did not need to be avoided. Mei Duo, the niece of Mei, was fourteen years old, but she was raised in the Gui family since childhood. The one who grew up with Gui Chun's brothers was the same as her own brother and sister. As for Gui Chongyang, although she was twelve years old, she had a young birthday and was born prematurely and was as thin as a child in her teens. Therefore, everyone sat around.

After rushing to the road for a long time, Gui Chongyang was already hungry. Looking at the farm meals in front of her, she couldn't help but have a big appetite and mouth to produce saliva, but she refused to use her chopsticks.

Grandpa Gui Er frowned, thinking that Gui Chongyang was picky about food, and he was displeased and became more and more confused about how to deal with this strange nephew.

The second grandma Gui was careless, Yang was still excited, and Mei was unsteady. Instead, Guichun and Mei Duo were mostly curious about Gui Chongyang. They looked at him involuntarily and found that his eyes were always aiming at the kang.

A white dumpling on the kang was not honest, and stared at the dining table with a straight eyes.

Mei Duo stood up and said, "Lantern Festival should be hungry, I'll go and mix some food for it."

"Lanxiao" is the name of the little white cat. This cat looks small, but it is already seven or eight years old. It grew up with Gui Chongyang. The name "Lanxiao" was given by Gui Yuan during his lifetime. It is said that "Dongyang" and "Lanxiao" are all festivals, and it sounds like a family.

Gui Chongyang hurriedly smiled and said, "Please trouble me."

Mei is Gui Chongyang's cousin, and Mei's elder brother is naturally Gui Chongyang's cousin. In this way, Gui Chongyang and Mei Duo are cousins ​​who are slightly further away.

Household cats are good livestock. Although Grandpa Gui Er and Grandma Gui Er should not prepare food for the cat before eating, they saw Gui Chongyang's reaction, so they did not stop him.

Lantern Festival has always been proud and is willing to eat other people's food at will. Seeing Mei Duo coming over with a bowl of rice, the fishy smell of rice mixed with cabbage and fish inside makes Lantern Festival unable to move.

Seeing this, Mei Duo couldn't help but reach out and touched Yuanxiao.

Lantern Festival did not avoid it, but instead snuggled up against Mei Duo's arm, looking very intimate and pleasing. Mei Duo was so happy that she smiled and showed a pair of dimples.

Gui Chongyang and Gui Chun were looking here, looking at him. Gui Chongyang had always been thinking about it, but he calculated Mei Duo's age in his heart, adding a hint of worry. However, Gui Chun looked straight, and then he didn't know what he thought of, so he quickly looked away.

This glance also made Mei Duo notice. Mei Duo lowered her head and continued to touch Yuanxiao. She didn't know that her ears were pink and she revealed her secret.

Although Gui Chongyang is not yet aged by the love affairs of men and women, he has also heard about the incident between men and women. Although the two people in front of him have no reciprocity, they are obviously not.

One of the two people in front of me was a cousin, the other was a cousin who had turned a corner, the other was eighteen and the other was fourteen years old. When they were about to be in their prime, they also had childhood sweethearts, not just right.

Gui Chongyang is determined to be the patriarch and repay the debts of the past to his "dad", so naturally he has some plans in his mind.

For a family, reproduction and prosperity are a major event. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the imperial examinations have become the best way to promote the family's strength. However, the Gui family's younger generation of male men are now only Gui Chongyang, Guichun, Gui Qiu, and Guichun. Needless to say, the Guichun brothers are two. Because their family is poor, they have never even been to a village school. Although they still have opportunities to study now, they still have qualification requirements. Gui Chongyang is due to premature birth and weak body. After the filial piety, they still have their fate. I still don't know if they can survive the pain of the imperial examinations.

Gui Chongyang puts more hope on the next generation, which naturally coincides with the Yang family. He hopes that the Guichun brothers will get married and have children as soon as possible.

Seeing that there was hope for thoughts, Gui Chongyang looked at Gui Chun with more kindness, and he wanted to have multiple little nephews immediately to make himself feel enlightened.

Gui Chun was staring at her and couldn't help but say, "What do you see in Chongyang?"

Several elders had moved their chopsticks and looked at Gui Chongyang when they heard this.

Gui Chongyang looked at Gui Chun more and more carefully and said, "I saw Brother Chun's face flushed, like the red phoenix star moving."

Gui Chun was stunned by the words, and Yang was already smiling: "Really? You have learned this. Let me show your elder brother where is the marriage!"

Yang, the daughter of the village, had seen it several times, and there were some families who could see it, but there were many of them left. There was a good daughter in the village next door who hadn't mentioned her in-laws yet.

Gui Chongyang looked at Yang, with a mysterious look on his face, but he refused to speak, and just quietly paid attention to the reactions of Gui Chun and Mei Duo with the corners of his eyes.

Gui Chun had no expectation or shyness on her face, as if she was not talking about her marriage; Mei Duo still smiled, but she stopped touching Lanxiao's hand.

Isn’t this marriage right in front of you? Why did Yang turn a blind eye?

Gui Chongyang is just here, but I don’t know if there is anything, so it’s hard to reveal it, so I just said vaguely: “It should be so soon. Brother Chun’s face is a father who has been a father.”

When Mrs. Yang heard this, her eyes shone brightly.

Grandma Gui couldn't bear it and put down her chopsticks and said, "What are you talking about? It's so easy to eat raw."

Although Grandpa Gui Er didn't speak, he was obviously not satisfied with Gui Chongyang's "nonsense". He didn't think that a teenage child could really tell fortunes in person. He just thought that Gui Chongyang had read two related books and deliberately showed off his tricks. With such a small physique and such an uneasy temperament, Grandpa Gui Er was really worried.

Mei was originally a little absent-minded, but now she woke up and looked at her niece involuntarily, with a hidden worry in her eyes. Obviously, she was not really ignorant of her niece's feelings.
