Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Gu Yunxi had no choice but to put down the clay pot and turn around to leave.

After thinking about it, she walked outside and went to Yuan's house next door.

The door of Yuan's house was not closed. Standing at the door, Gu Yunxi could see Mrs. Yuan bending over to wash coarse grains in the yard.

She smiled and called out, "Sister-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, Sister Yuan immediately turned around and saw that it was Gu Yunxi. She smiled and said, "Oh, it's Yunxi girl. My mother came back just now and said she met you!"

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "How is sister-in-law these days?"

"Okay, I'm fine. Have you cooked for your father?" While Mrs. Yuan was talking, she had already picked the coarse grains.

Just now she heard from her mother-in-law that Gu Yunxi took the clay pot to the well to wash it, which meant she was going to cook for her father, so Mrs. Yuan asked this question at this time.

When Gu Yunxi heard Mrs. Yuan ask this, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across his face.

"What's the matter? What's the difficulty?"

Mrs. Yuan glanced at her and did not miss her strange reaction.

Gu Yunxi felt quite helpless and had to say, "Sister-in-law, all the rice and flour in the house are gone. I think my grandma took them away."

"I want to borrow some rice from you. I'll return it to you tomorrow when I come over. Is that ok?"

If she wasn't in a hurry to make porridge for Boss Gu, she could have asked He Dachun to drive the carriage back and bring some rice and flour.

But now, after going back and forth, it’s already dark.

Although the Yuan family lived better than other farmers, it was not much better and they were short of food.

If the current situation wasn't like this, she wouldn't even want to ask Mrs. Yuan to borrow food. This feeling was too embarrassing.

However, when Mrs. Yuan heard this, she hurriedly said, "Oh, wait a minute, I'll go into the house and get it for you."

Mrs. Yuan carried the pot into the kitchen, and soon came out with a large bowl filled with half a bowl of yellow-gray rice in her hand.

"Your father is in such a bad condition that he can't eat whole grains. Luckily, we still have some rice at home. You can take it home and cook it first."

After saying that, Mrs. Yuan handed over the bowl.

Gu Yunxi was somewhat moved, and her eyes were actually red for a moment.

"Sister-in-law, I...I thank you on behalf of my father."

Mrs. Yuan smiled and waved her hands: "Hey, we are all from the same village, why should I say thank you? It's getting late, you should go back first."

Gu Yunxi smiled and prepared to go out with the bowl in his hand. Just then, a man walked in from outside.

"Hey, Sister Yunxi! You're back?" The man couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw Gu Yunxi.

The man was none other than Mrs. Yuan’s son, Gangzi, who was born in the same year as Yunle!

Gu Yunxi smiled at Gangzi and said, "Gangzi, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and your hair is still growing vigorously."

Now Gangzi is a head taller than her. Gu Yunxi couldn't help but sigh that when she got married, Gangzi was about the same height as her.

In this remote place, I really don’t know what Gangzi ate to make his head grow so fast.

Members of the Yuan family are not tall!

Upon hearing this, Gangzi scratched his head embarrassedly and chuckled.

Sister Yuan smiled and said, "He probably looks like my brother from my mother's side. You've seen my brother from my mother's side before. He's tall and strong."

As Gu Yunxi listened, memories of his childhood flashed through his mind. He had the impression that he was Yuan Dasao's younger brother, who seemed tall and strong.

"It is said that nephews resemble their uncles, which makes sense. They need to be tall and capable!" Gu Yunxi said with a smile.

"He's already this old, but he still hasn't found a husband. He also refuses to learn carpentry from his father and grandfather. Oh, I'm really worried..."

Mrs. Yuan couldn't help but glare at Gangzi. Unfortunately, she couldn't hit or scold her only son, so she could only let him be.

Gangzi felt even more embarrassed and said, "Mom, can you please give me some face?"

"Okay, okay, you still know how to save face now." Sister Yuan rolled her eyes at him and complained to Gu Yunxi, "Yunxi, look at him, he is the same age as Yunle, but he is older than Yunle!"

"Yunle is now very successful, but Gangzi is still like this. I really..."

As he was speaking, Gu Yunle heard the noise and walked over from next door.

"Gangzi!" Gu Yunle hadn't seen Gangzi for a long time, and he was a little excited when he saw him this time.

Gangzi did the same, smiling and shouting, "Yunle!"

But seeing that Gu Yunle was now fair and had a good temperament, Gangzi looked down at his feet. There was a hole in the straw sandals on his feet, revealing his black toes. He felt very embarrassed and a little ashamed and inferior.

He tried to retract his toes so that they wouldn't see them.

Gu Yunle didn't notice these little movements, she was being talked to by Mrs. Yuan!

"Oh, Yunle girl, you've really changed a lot. It's true that girls change a lot when they grow up. You used to be dark and thin, like a bamboo pole, but now you're fair and clean, and pretty!"

"This city is not like our countryside, where the wind and sun are strong and can really support people!"

Mrs. Yuan was very curious. She took Gu Yunle's hand and touched the material of her clothes. It was smooth and very comfortable.

It goes without saying that this dress is not cheap and must be comfortable to wear.

Mrs. Yuan was extremely envious and felt quite emotional. She never expected that the little girl that she and her mother-in-law had fed for a few days out of kindness would grow up to be like this now.

Gu Yunle smiled and said, "I feel embarrassed because of the praise from my sister-in-law."

Gu Yunle hadn't seen Mrs. Yuan for a long time. When he saw her this time, he suddenly discovered that Mrs. Yuan had a few white hairs on her temples.

She couldn't help but be stunned. Her sister-in-law is already at the age where she has white hair?

That's right. Gangzi and I are already old enough to get married. My sister-in-law works in the fields all day long. It's so hard, how can she not have white hair?

While they were talking, Gangzi had already moved a few small stools for them to sit on in the yard and talk.

Gu Yunxi waved her hands hastily and said, "Gangzi, sister-in-law, I won't sit down for now. I'll go back and make porridge for my father. I'll come and talk to you when I have time."

Gu Yunle had nothing to do, so he could continue sitting in the Yuan family yard and talking.

After Gu Yunxi finished speaking, he smiled and walked out of the Yuan family yard and headed towards the old Gu family.

Back in the old Gu family's kitchen, although the fire that Gu Yunle had just started had gone out, the charcoal fire was still there.

Gu Yunxi stuffed a handful of dry leaves into the stove hole with the charcoal fire, and blew with a blowstick made of a bamboo tube, and the fire started burning again.

The fire was reignited and Gu Yunxi added firewood into the stove.

Slowly, the lid of the ceramic pot was pushed open. Gu Yunxi picked up the lid, stirred it for a while, and then covered it again.

When the porridge was ready, she washed the bowl, scooped out a large bowl, and brought it into the house.
