Chapter 226 Fighting poison with poison
Gu Mingdong carried a bamboo basket on his back. The homemade bamboo basket was big, deep, wide-mouthed, and could fit a four- or five-year-old child.
The twins remembered that when they were young, Gu Mingdong would occasionally put the two of them in a basket, one on each side was just right, and they would pick them up and go home when they got off work.
The basket will sway slowly, and sometimes the twins will sleep in it when they are tired from playing, and they will be on the bed when they wake up.
Seeing that he is carrying a bamboo basket now, and there seems to be someone moving inside, even Gu Liangchen is not so confident.
Could it be that his father really carried a child home to adopt?
Gu Mingdong unloaded the back basket and tilted it to the ground.
Soon, a small head popped out, probably dizzy from being shaken, the little guy walked crookedly, and when he walked outside, he sneezed and shook his head vigorously.
One, two, three, four.
One after another, four puppies came out, looking like they were just full moon.
"Puppy?" Gu Mingxi called out in surprise.
Gu Mingdong squatted down with a smile, stretched out his hand and stroked each one.
Under his hands, puppies barked immaturely, one of them was bold and black all over, only with two spots of white on the eyebrows, and licked his palm with its tongue.
Seeing that Gu Mingnan liked it, he squatted down and wanted to touch it, but the human puppy had a temper, and bit his finger with one bite.
Of course, those deciduous teeth haven't grown yet, so it only made Gu Mingnan drool.
"Brother, where did you get the puppy." The one in Gu Mingnan's hand was also black, but the four feet had white hairs.
With a simple push, the puppy turned its legs upside down and barked angrily. Gu Mingnan boasted, "This puppy is quite strong, and a dog with a temper is a good dog."
A group of people squatted down to look at the surprise. In the past few years, it was difficult to feed people, let alone dogs. In the countryside, apart from cattle that could plow the land, even sheep were rare.
Gu Mingdong got these four puppies from no one knows where, they probably have the blood of shepherd dogs, their ears are a bit pointed than ordinary dogs, and they stand upright.
"I asked Nanshan to buy it for me." Gu Mingdong replied.
Gu Mingbei also likes puppies, he stretched out his hand to pet them, and said, "Brother, do you mean raising four puppies in a lively way? Auntie must be very angry when she knows."
And this dog was brought by Xie Nanshan, Gu Xiuxiu knew she would be angry.
Gu Mingdong laughed: "What a dog, obedient, and recognize the owner."
"In the future, even if you are not at home, four dogs will be lively at home."
The truth is this truth, but the matter is not this matter.
The little ones were speechless for a moment.
Gu Mingnan hugged the puppy, and couldn't put it down: "Brother, isn't this dog very majestic when it grows up? Can I take them up the mountain to hunt?"
"You can try it then." Gu Mingdong smiled.
Gu Liangchen also said: "Actually, it's good to have a dog. The mountain that our family contracted is so big, it's inevitable that someone will touch it in the future. Even if there is no one, the wild beasts on the mountain are very annoying, and the dog can guard the house."
With four more little guys in the house, it has indeed become much more lively.
Gu Mingdong put them all on the ground and let them recognize the smell everywhere.
"Stand up." After they were familiar with the environment, Gu Mingdong took the four dogs and asked them to stand in a row.
"sit down."
"stand up."
"Get down."
Bringing the four little ones home, Gu Mingdong is very natural. He starts training the puppies early in the morning every day, which is much more exciting than bringing children.
Gu Mingxi saw it, and couldn't help but say: "Brother is very happy, looking a little childish."
"Yeah, I didn't even know that big brother liked dogs."
When Gu Mingdong was training the dog, the twins squatted aside to watch. Gu Liangxing was eager to try, wishing he could push himself up.
The four puppies are already familiar with the old Gu's family, and they are full of energy after being raised for a few days. At this moment, the four pairs of big eyes are staring at Gu Mingdong's fingers.
At the beginning, Gu Mingdong's training was not smooth, after all, he was not a professional dog trainer.
But he has golden fingers.
"sit down."
When the order was given, the puppy tilted his head, obviously not understanding.
The ability jumped up, lay directly on the puppy's forehead, and pressed it down hard.
The puppy seemed to be aware of this force, and Baimei sat down slowly.
"Good boy." Gu Mingdong boasted with a smile, and took out a small piece of jerky from his pocket, which was made by their family, and cut into small pieces the size of a fingernail as a reward.
As soon as Bai Meimei smelled the fragrance, he flicked his tail excitedly, lowered his head and bit it, just such a small piece was enough for him to bite for a long time.
The other three puppies wanted to rush over to grab them, but they were pulled away by Gu Mingdong.
"sit down."
This time the white gloves understood, tilted his head to look at the white eyebrows, sat down quickly, and looked at Gu Mingdong hastily.
Gu Mingdong also rewarded it generously, and the white tail and white belly next to him immediately followed suit.
Naturally, the puppy would be disobedient sometimes. When encountering this kind of situation, Gu Mingdong would directly carry it to the corridor as a punishment, and let it watch the other three brothers and sisters eat jerky.
With carrots and sticks at the same time, within a few days, the four puppies began to understand commands.
Of course, this understanding is only limited to Gu Mingdong. When other people give orders, they are rewarded to listen to them occasionally. If there is no reward, they will not listen. If anyone outside the old Gu family dares to come in, they will be milky. The cry can drown them out.
Aunt Gu was taken aback when she came over, she patted her chest and said, "Oh, I'm so scared to death, Ah Dong, why do you have so many dogs in your family, one is enough for housekeeping."
Gu Mingdong smiled and asked, "Third Aunt, is it lively?"
"It's too noisy." Third Aunt Gu commented.
Gu Mingdong nodded: "No, it's too lively."
Third Aunt Gu reacted, and said angrily: "Just tease me, and see how you explain to your aunt then."
"It's okay, my aunt will also find it lively." Gu Mingdong said with a smile.
Third Aunt Gu was still separated from him by one floor, so she had no choice but to say, "If you want to keep one dog, it's enough, how much do you need for four dogs?"
"It must be less than people eat." Gu Mingdong commented.
Third Aunt Gu couldn't say no to him, and said helplessly, "You child..."
She is full of suitable candidates, but now they are blocked by four dogs.
"Boss, second, third, and fourth, sit down." Gu Mingdong gave an order, and the four puppies stopped barking immediately, and sat obediently beside him.
Third Aunt Gu looked surprised: "Can you understand human language?"
"So cute." Gu Mingdong smiled and patted their little heads.
The four dogs stuck out their tongues and wagged their tails, how could they be as fierce as before.
Third Aunt Gu couldn't help boasting: "It's a good dog."
"Third Aunt, what's the matter with you?" Gu Mingdong then asked.
Third Aunt Gu said helplessly: "I originally wanted to ask about your movements, but now I don't need to ask."
Gu Mingdong got up and said with a smile: "Third Aunt, I know you have good intentions, but I really don't have such thoughts."
"I can see it now." Aunt Gu showed helplessness, she would rather have a dog than a human, what else could she say.
Before leaving, Third Aunt Gu still asked, "A Dong, do you really not regret it?"
Gu Mingdong said firmly: "I don't regret it."
"Okay, then Third Aunt won't have much to do in the future." Third Aunt Gu didn't want to be too busy and end up with a complaint in the end.
As for Gu Xiuxiu, she didn't care about it, and her sister-in-law next door didn't count.
Gu Mingdong's move was too hurtful and very annoying, but Gu Xiuxiu couldn't do anything about him, so why did they say it didn't make sense?
He didn't intend to really piss off his aunt, after all, after so many years of affection, it's not for his uncle to comfort her and divert her attention.
Looking at this scene, Gu Mingxi thought thoughtfully: "So that's how it is."
"Third sister, what do you see?" Gu Mingbei asked.
Gu Mingxi laughed: "I have learned that there are not only two ways to solve problems, yes and no, but you say what you want, and I will do mine."
Gu Mingbei paused, and said helplessly, "That's true."
But that's easier said than done.
Gu Liangxing saw the performance of the dogs, and took a piece of dried meat over: "Boss, sit down."
The boss yawned and ignored him at all.
"Second, sit down."
The second child didn't show any face, and looked at the door with a serious face, as if he was ready to call at any time.
"Third and fourth, sit down."
The third and the fourth were saving face, glanced at the jerky in his hand, and barked twice.
Gu Liangxing was immediately discouraged: "Dad, why do they only listen to you and not mine."
Gu Mingdong smiled and said, "Everyone depends on their ability."
Gu Mingxi said: "A dog that only recognizes one owner is a good dog. It obeys everyone's orders and eats the jerky that anyone gives it. What's the point of keeping a dog."
"That's true." Gu Liangxing sighed.
At this moment, the boss rushed over, pounced hard, and bit the jerky away from his hand, turned around and lay down to taste it slowly, wagging his little tail at him.
Gu Liangxing's face darkened: "Is it mocking me?"
The two sisters were all amused, and Gu Mingbei said, "You think too much, the little dog has no bad thoughts."
The boss barked and agreed.
Gu Liangxing quit, rushed over to hug the boss and squeezed vigorously: "Smelly dog, you still laugh at me for eating my jerky, let me teach you a lesson!"
The poor boss is still a little milk dog, who is Gu Liangxing's opponent, and is barked by his naughty bark.
Even so, the boss was only biting hypocritically, not daring to bite harshly, after all, on the first day he came to the house, Gu Mingdong had taught him not to bite anyone, especially the family members.
Gu Mingnan said with emotion: "Brother calls him second child, I always feel like he is calling me."
Suddenly, he looked at his own brother: "Brother, you don't mean that, do you?"
"Definitely not, the naming is for convenience." Gu Mingdong said honestly.
Gu Mingnan laughed: "Hey, we have four brothers and sisters, and the puppy also has four brothers and sisters, as if our whole family has turned into a puppy."
"If you want to change you, I don't want to become a puppy." Gu Mingxi laughed.
Gu Mingnan said again: "It's okay for me to become a puppy. I'm not at home, so the second child will accompany the elder brother for me."
Having said that, Gu Mingxi actually thought it was good, and she patted her forehead quickly, so as not to be distracted by the second child.
Gu Liangxing added: "Then we have to raise three more, one named A Xing, one named A Chen, and the last one named Xiaoyun."
"Then our house is no longer a dog farm." Gu Mingdong couldn't help laughing.
For a while, laughter and laughter continued.
Third Aunt Gu shook her head and went home, both angry and funny in her heart.
When Uncle Gu saw her coming back so soon, he said, "Ah Dong didn't agree?"
"Don't mention it, Ah Dong brought four dogs home, it's very noisy over there now, how can it be deserted." Third Aunt Gu rolled her eyes.
After she finished speaking, she also found it funny, and sighed with a helpless expression.
Gu Sanshu also laughed when he heard it: "This child is quite bad."
"Yo, you are quite proud of your old age?" Third Aunt Gu was not happy.
Uncle Gu said helplessly: "When you discussed with Xiuxiu years ago, I said it was unreliable."
"It's been so many years. If Ah Dong had the heart to look for it, why wait until now?"
"The child told you well, and you pretended you didn't hear it. He just wanted to introduce someone to others. What else could he do?"
Third Aunt Gu also sighed: "If Xiuxiu didn't mention this, I wouldn't be rushing."
"You, if you have this spare time, you might as well worry about Xiaofang and Xiaowei, so that the second child's family won't go crazy."
When this matter was brought up, Third Aunt Gu also had a headache.
"You said what happened to the old Gu's family. Those who should get married refuse to get married, and they shouldn't make a fuss about it."
Thinking about the matter of the second child's family, Third Aunt Gu couldn't help regretting in her heart, and secretly thought that she should beat the mandarin ducks with a club back then to prevent Wang Feng from entering.
It's too late to regret it now. The couple had three daughters, all of whom are getting old. They can't make a joke about divorce anymore. If they are really divorced, what will happen to Xiaofang's three marriages in the future?Wouldn't it be to let the man criticize?
But even so, Third Aunt Gu couldn't get used to Wang Feng in various ways.
Normally, she is too lazy to take care of the affairs of the second family. Anyway, Gu Ting is raised by their side, Gu Fang and Gu Wei are outside, and Wang Feng has no chance to be a demon.
But during the Chinese New Year period, when Gu Fang and Gu Wei went home, Wang Feng's mind became active again.
Third Aunt Gu said helplessly: "I'll go over to persuade her when I'm free, and tell her not to worry too much."
Little did they know that at this time, Wang Feng was entertaining guests with a smile at home.
It's not surprising that people who celebrate Chinese New Year come to visit, but what's strange is that Gu Fang has never seen the visitor. Two women in their [-]s and [-]s brought a young man in his early twenties, and they looked at her as soon as they entered the door.
Gu Fang frowned subconsciously, and went into the house while making tea.
"Why haven't I seen that relative outside?" Gu Wei was also surprised.
Gu Fang thought of something, and said with a sullen face, "I guess they came to see you."
Gu Wei became angry when she heard this: "It's not that she agreed to wait for us to graduate, she is too anxious."
Gu Fang lowered her head and said nothing, stretched out her hands and started making tea.
After a short delay, Wang Feng shouted outside: "Xiao Fang, hurry up and serve tea to the guests."
Gu Weiguo sat next to him and didn't say much, but he knew it from his face.
Gu Fang pursed her lips, knowing that Wang Feng's persevering pillow talk had really moved Gu Weiguo's mind.
When she finished making tea, Gu Wei said, "Sister, you stay inside, and I'll take it out."
"The two aunts drink tea." Gu Wei quickly put down the teacup.
Seeing that it was her, Wang Feng frowned and said: "What about your sister, the guests at home don't know how to come out to say hello."
After speaking, she turned to the three people and said: "My eldest daughter is a college student, she reads a lot, and she is also quiet. She usually likes to read in the house the most, unlike those girls who like to run around and play tricks."
Gu Wei's face froze.
The young man who entered the door secretly looked at her, bowed his head and did not speak.
On the contrary, the woman who came with her said with a smile: "It's good to be quiet, only quiet girls are filial, and they will take care of the family in the future."
Wang Feng smiled exaggeratedly, and boasted all over her face: "No, my Xiaofang is famous for being filial. She is still studying, and the monthly subsidy is only so little, but she insists on picking it out from her teeth and giving it to her." We two old ones bought presents."
"Look at my shoes. They are new. They look good. They were brought home by Xiaofang. They are very warm in winter."
"Hey, that's really filial. The old sister is lucky."
Gu Wei couldn't stand listening to their mutual boasting, and went straight into the room.
Gu Fang was still hesitating inside: "Xiaowei, do you think I should go out?"
"Why are you going out, sister, you don't really want to marry that man, do you?" Gu Wei asked in disbelief.
Gu Fang pursed her lips and said, "It was agreed at the beginning, I will stay at home and recruit a son-in-law."
"That didn't say that I'm going to get married and have children now." Gu Wei said, "Besides, I can't even look down on any good family she can find. If you want to find it, you have to find it in the school. At least like-minded people will be able to talk in the future.”
Gu Fang's heart was full of bitterness: "The male students in the school have a good future, who would be willing to be a son-in-law, and will be looked down upon for the rest of his life."
After saying this, the two sisters fell into silence.
That's right, if you want to stay at home to recruit a son-in-law, in the future, any promising and capable man will be willing to come to the door.
Only those men who have many sons in their families, who are too poor to eat and have little ability, will be willing to be son-in-law.
Gu Fang has actually made preparations a long time ago. She feels that as the eldest sister, since she promised at the beginning, she should do it. At least her parents agreed to let her go to college. A girl with a younger brother at home is already much luckier.
Seeing Gu Wei's face was ugly, Gu Fang comforted her instead: "Actually, there's nothing wrong with it."
"Think about it, it's difficult for a girl to get married, and how much grievance a new daughter-in-law has to suffer when she enters the house. Parents-in-law and mother-in-law are easy to get along with, and husbands are considerate, not to mention those who encounter wicked mother-in-laws."
"Compared to getting married and going to someone else's house, I think it's better to stay in my own house."
Gu Wei knew that her sister was just comforting herself, so she pursed her lips and said, "Sister, if you have someone you like in the future, and if that person doesn't want to be your son-in-law, then you should marry him."
"Isn't it just to recruit a son-in-law? Whoever stays is not staying, and it's the same when I come."
Gu Fang chuckled, and pointed to her head: "What nonsense, I'm my sister, I should have stayed."
"You and Tingting just study hard and do what you like."
But the more this happened, the more uncomfortable Gu Wei felt in her heart.
She reached out to hug her sister, and suddenly found that her sister was very thin, she could hold her in her arms with her arms, but this kind of sister has taken care of her since she was a child, and will always stand in front of her when her mother beats and scolds her .
Gu Wei wants to ask, what about you yourself, you also have a world and things you like, do you have to sacrifice yourself for your parents' request?
But after hesitating again and again, Gu Wei still didn't speak.
Because she couldn't find a solution herself, it was the parents who gave birth to them, raised them, provided them with food, and let them study. Not to mention Wang Feng, Gu Weiguo also acquiesced in his heart.
Once the sisters entered the house, they never came out again.
After waiting for a long time, the faces of the three people who came to see each other outside were not very good.
"It's good for this girl to be quiet, but it's not good to be too introverted."
Wang Feng also blamed her daughter for not giving face, but said: "Anyway, it's good for the parents to settle the matter of marriage. My Xiaofang is obedient, so there is no objection."
The woman on the opposite side curled her lips: "It doesn't look like it."
Wang Feng frowned and said, "Then what do you mean by that?"
Seeing her face down, the woman said again: "Sister-in-law Wei Guo, you don't have to be angry. You said that I brought my nephew to the door from a long distance. This is considered sincere."
Wang Feng glanced at the young man who sat next to him after entering the door without saying a word.
She is actually satisfied from the bottom of her heart, she has lost a little weight, but her parents died, and she lived with her uncle and aunt since she was a child, her temper has long since worn out, so she has a soft temper that is easy to handle.
Seeing that she was a little too short, Wang Feng was worried that her grandson would also be short.
Seeing the look in her eyes, the woman said, "My nephew has been able to do things since he was a child. He can do things at home and in the fields. If his parents hadn't died early, there would be no one to help him." House, and you can’t be willing to be a door-to-door son-in-law.”
The young man lowered his head in embarrassment, blushing, but unfortunately no one cared about his thoughts.
Wang Feng listened, feeling a little more satisfied in his heart.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a father or a mother, as long as you have a good relationship with your uncle and aunt, when the time comes, you will directly break the relationship there, just like marrying a daughter-in-law who has no natal family.
Thinking of this, Wang Feng's face softened: "Our Xiaofang is not bad. You should know that she is a college student. She will be a worker after graduation. Maybe she will be a factory leader."
Gu Weiguo also said at this time: "If Xiaofang didn't want to stay at home to recruit a son-in-law, she definitely wouldn't find someone from the countryside."
"That is, that is, your girl is also good." The woman said with a smile.
Then he changed the subject: "But since you want to be a son-in-law, it's different from marrying a daughter-in-law. Is your family also interested?"
Wang Feng was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
The woman shook her hand: "Oh, you are boring, you have to give a bride price to marry a daughter-in-law, but not to marry a son-in-law?"
Wang Feng also turned cold: "How can there be such a thing, give him a daughter-in-law for nothing, and raise a son and daughter for him in the future, what kind of gift do you have the nerve to accept?"
"That's not the case. Even if you have a son in the future, it will be your Gu family name."
Wang Feng also knew this truth in his heart, but his face was still not so good-looking: "How much do you want?"
"Everyone's life is easier now, isn't 100 yuan too much?" The woman directly asked for the price.
Gu Wei listened with her ears pricked inside, and couldn't help cursing at the moment: "What do they think marriage is, paying 100 yuan, is this a human trafficking?"
Gu Fang sighed and said nothing.
But Wang Feng jumped up: "100 yuan, why don't you grab it!"
