Gu Jiao the Great Secretary's
chapter 8

The road in the village was not easy to walk, especially towards the house of Xiao LIULANG and Gu Jiao. There are so many holes that it is easy to sink the wheels.

The mule cart stopped at the entrance of the village.

"Sister Xiao." His classmate took the lead to jump out of the carriage, reached out to help Xiao LIULANG down, then carried Xiao LIULANG's weight down.

After Xiao LIULANG stood still, he looked back at Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao jumped out of the carriage and carried a basket on his back.

Xiao LIULANG averted his gaze and said to his classmate, "come back, you don't need to send me anymore."

It's very late, and the coachman is a little impatient.

His classmate then said, "Okay, I'm leaving. Do not forget the test in three days. If the Academy doesn't take that day off, I won't come to pick you up. Remember to go alone. "

"By good." Xiao LIULANG nodded lightly and took the burden.

It is difficult to walk at night. They don't have lanterns in their hands. Gu Jiao did not move and waited for Xiao LIULANG in silence.

The classmate glanced at him coldly, pulled Xiao LIULANG away, and whispered: "Sister Xiao, you are good at taking the exam in three days. If you pass the exam, you will be able to stay in the Academy. You should not be bothered by this evil woman anymore! Don't worry about foot care. I will continue to ask about Doctor Zhang. Oh, and you can eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake yourself. Don't take advantage of that evil woman! "

When Gu Jiao returned from the market with the basket on her back, she was sweating everywhere, but she was all dried on top of the mule cart. His red face was white from the cold, and he had several eyes under the moonlight.

The remaining light of Xiao LIULANG swept over him, and his classmate wanted to explain a few more words, but Xiao LIULANG interrupted: "I know, you're back."

His classmate opened his mouth, but Xiao LIULANG no longer paid attention to him. He grabbed the weight in one hand and hit the crutches in the other, and turned towards him himself.

Gu Jiao continued.

Gu Jiao kept a good distance from him and did not make people feel too close to him, but if he fell down, he could help people in time.

However, Xiao LIULANG was very familiar with this part of the road, and nothing happened at home.

It was dark, and every door was closed. Only Xue Ningxiang came out to pour bath water, and was stunned at the door for a while.

"Ah Xiang, why don't you come in? What are you looking at?"

Inside, Xue Ningxiang's mother-in-law was lying on the bed and asked in a hoarse voice.

Xue Ningxiang blinked and said, "no, there's nothing."

He must be wrong. How could Xiao LIULANG and the little fool be together? Although they were both, they were more enemies than enemies.

Old house.

Today is a large cooking room, Zhou and his daughter Gu Yuee will be the hot food tip to the main room, set the dishes.

In the Gu family, women did not eat at the table. There was only Master Gu and his eldest son Gu Changhai, his second son Gu Changlu and three grandchildren on the table.

Old lady Wu, with her two daughters-in-law and granddaughter, Gu Yuee, sat in the kitchen with a bowl.

Master Gu is Li Zheng. He was more promising than most villagers who only knew how to dig up food in the fields. Everyone cannot see meat several times a year, but he can eat twice a month.

Today is meat day.

Boiled pork cabbages, even the soup exuded a strong meaty taste.

But the pork is not much, one person can not eat two chopsticks.

After Gu Changhai and Gu Changlu took each piece, they did not dare to think of this bowl of meat anymore, and turned around to pick up the pickles and pickles.

Gu himself did not eat much. He only took a small piece and each gave Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Ershun a small piece. The rest was given to Gu Dashun.

Gu Xiaoshun carefully counted, five full, but also all big!

"Why did you give it to him?" Gu Xiaoshun muttered bitterly while taking the rice.

Gu Ershun said softly, "that's because the older brother is a scholar. We'll point to the older brother."

When he said this, he could not help but glance at the meat in Dashun's bowl.

He's greedy.

It's really greedy.

But he was used to this kind of discrimination.

There are so many men in the family, only the older brother is the learning material. This year, Qiuwei's older brother was accepted into the regional school, which was higher than his grandfather's original achievements.

"Cutting." Gu Xiaoshun rolled his eyes, "my brother-in-law is also a scholar. Why don't you call him to eat meat?"

"How can it be the same? The older brother has been accepted into public school. How could he be compared to an older brother?"

"My brother-in-law didn't take the exam."

The two brothers still had to fight. Master Gu slapped the chopsticks on the table, and they instantly kept silent.

The room was very quiet.

"Second brother, have you read the book I gave you? There's a note I made on it. You look good. If you don't understand, please ask me

That's Gu Dashun.

He was the only one who dared to defy the old man's anger.

His voice was clear and smooth, and his tone was soft. He really has the style of a scholar.

How did Master Gu feel about this golden sun? His anger soon subsided.

Gu Ershun was flattered and said with a smile, "thank you first

Mr. Gu had taught his three grandchildren, but only Mr. Gu Dashun had passed the test. Later, he couldn't teach her anymore, so he sent her to a private school in the city.

Private schools are too expensive, and family care can only afford the best.

Gu Ershun dreamed of becoming the same as Gu Dashun.

"Don't bother your sister lately. He wanted to take the exam, ", Gu said

Gu Ershun nodded respectfully: "So, grandfather."

Gu Xiaoshun did not want to stay any longer, so he left after three or two stutters.

He wanted to get out, but he couldn't get through the front door of the main room or the back door of the kitchen. The Wu Family was no easier to deal with than the old man.

Gu Xiaoshun decided to climb the wall.

But he had just climbed in half, captured by Liu: "Gu Xiaoshun! Come down to me

Gu Xiaoshun was dragged away by Liu.

Liu slapped his head and said, "your father's milk is here, and you don't want to live, do you?"

"Don't hit my head!" Gu Xiaoshun was impatient.

"Why did you come out so late?"

"My sister hasn't come to dinner all day. I'll go see him."

Liu snorted: "it's true that he didn't come. What are you gonna see? When you become relatives, you run to your mother's house day after day. Likewhat? "

Gu Xiaoshun said: "third uncle and third aunt did not say that before they died. Yenai promised her third aunt that my sister would recruit a son-in-law in our family. The one surnamed Xiao is a son-in-law, and my older sister is still our family."

Liu said he couldn't do it, and pinched it well!

Gu Ershun was obedient but useless. Gu Xiaoshun was neither obedient nor useful. She gave birth to two children with a handle!

--

Gu Jiao bought some vermicelli at the market, but she did not expect Xiao LIULANG would buy another white steamed bun.

Gu Jiao went to the kitchen to heat up the steamed bread.

Xiao LIULANG made fire.

Gu Jiao had no pretense.

When he came out, the wound on his wrist was not serious. But he did something at the market and his wound was torn. Also due to his suspicion of insecurity at home, he brought a medicine box and bandaged it in place.

None of them mentioned three cornstarch steamed buns in the morning. Xiao LIULANG did not explain, and Gu Jiao did not ask.

"Eat it here. Warm." said Gu Jiao. He was so frozen that he kept shivering.

Xiao LIULANG hesitated for a moment, and sat down at the little Wu beside Gu Jiao.

They were so close to each other that he could see the birthmark on Gu Jiao's left face.

In the past, Gu Jiao was covered in thick powder, but now she had an innocent face and no cover.

Xiao LIULANG's pretty lips moved, but she did not make a sound.

Just as she would not ask about him, she would not ask him.

These are two unrelated people, there is no need to engage more deeply.

Steamed bread with white flour had no flavor, but Gu Jiao was hungry all day, so she was not picky.

Gu Jiao choked and returned to her room to drink. When he returned to the kitchen, Xiao LIULANG was no longer there. There's a bag of stuff on a small bench.

Gu Jiao opened it.

It's a sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
