After the meal, Gu Shihong leaned on the sofa to watch TV, and the little tiger suddenly sat down next to Gu Shihong, blinking his innocent eyes and asking, "Grandpa, I just heard that my mother asked my aunt to borrow money, is there no money in our family?" ”
When Gu Shihong heard this, he immediately stood up. "Did your mother really borrow money from your aunt?"
"Yes!" The little tiger nodded.
Gu Shihong took a deep breath, as if he had some kind of landing in his heart, he touched the head of the little tiger, "The little tiger is assured, Grandpa has money, and will not let the little tiger have no food to eat." ”
Gu Shihong is the father of Gu Lei and Gu Qingyu, who was a teacher when he was young. After retirement, he has been idle at home, buying groceries, watching TV, playing chess, and chatting with neighbors in the community. The description of Gu Shihong in the original work is that he is "an old-school Shanghainese man who can do things, talk in a literary style, and also pick up clean people." ”
Gu Shihong's wife died early, and it was not easy for him to pull Gu Qingyu and Gu Lei up alone. What is rare is that he is still a loving father, who can be pressed when things happen, and he is polite to his daughter and son from childhood to adulthood, and has never had a red face. Compared with Gu Qingyu's cleverness and openness, and Gu Lei's honesty, Gu Shihong is neither as aggressive as his daughter nor as brainless as his son.
Although he likes to listen to Gu Qingyu's opinions in everything, he never listens to partiality and has his own set of evaluation systems. Treat the daughter-in-law, neither picky nor flattering, see through everything but do not say broken, enwei and give, let people have some scruples.
Before Gu Lei's death, Feng Xiaoqin and Gu Shihong had almost no red faces; after Gu Lei's death, Feng Xiaoqin, even if she quarreled with Gu Qingyu, who had sharp teeth, was always jealous of Gu Shihong and did not dare to tear his face with him. Not only because of Gu Shihong's status as an elder, but also because Gu Shihong had already seen through the essence of Feng Xiaoqin.
1. Trade-offs
Gu Shihong has been a Chinese teacher all his life, and has been the director of the industry committee for decades, and has met all kinds of people. A foreign sister like Feng Xiaoqin, what was going on in her mind, and why she would marry Gu Lei, Gu Shihong could still guess one or two in her heart.
Gu Lei was in his thirties and had never even talked about a relationship. As soon as he saw Feng Xiaoqin, he liked it so much that Gu Shihong was anxious to hold his grandson and didn't say anything more. After less than half a year of talking, they ripped off the testimony of the marriage of the fengzi.
Feng Xiaoqin can meet an honest person like Gu Lei, and Boss Shi and Zhan Xiang are indispensable. After Feng Xiaoqin gave birth to Feng Da at the age of 15, she dropped out of school and came to Shanghai to work. A few years ago, at a friend's party, I met Boss Shi, who was also a fellow countryman, and the two people became acquainted with each other.
Feng Xiaoqin looks petite and cute, which makes people itch and scratch, and Boss Shi likes her so much after seeing her that he willingly knocks her out. Later, Boss Shi introduced Feng Xiaoqin to Zhan Xiang, and he did not expect that Feng Xiaoqin actually used this relationship to entrust Zhan Xiang to help him introduce the object.
That's how Feng Xiaoqin got to know Gu Lei.
When Gu Shihong first saw Feng Xiaoqin and Gu Lei standing together, he did not have the adaptability of "two mouths", but like Esmeralda and Quasimodo in "Notre Dame de Paris", it was destined to be an unequal love.
Although in the eyes of parents, how bad the child is, it is also beautiful. However, Gu Shihong did not deceive himself like Shi Yuan's mother, Shi Yuan obviously achieved nothing, but he had to say that he was a "high-gate nobleman". Gu Shihong himself brought up the child, a few pounds and a few pairs, or have a good idea.
When Gu Lei was young, he accidentally became a cripple, walking high and low, the whole person cowered a lot, and there was less neatness that young people should have. Because of this, Gu Lei has been the "baby" of the whole family since he was a child. After more than thirty years of "clothes to reach out and open your mouth" at home, not only did he have no viability, but his money-making skills were close to zero.
Although Feng Xiaoqin is charming and calculating, she is capable. Gu Shihong and the old mother, old age, daughter busy, son has no ability to live, very much need a woman who can run the family. The point is that Feng Xiaoqin is not a career-advocating woman, she is willing to spend the rest of her life in housework. So, it's perfect for marrying home and being a wife.
It turns out that Gu Shihong really saw it accurately.
After Feng Xiaoqin married into the Gu family, her life from old age to childhood was arranged in an orderly manner by her. Gu Shihong thought that instead of wondering whether Feng Xiaoqin really loved Gu Lei, her life ability would be more affordable. After all, love can't be eaten as a meal. After several trade-offs, Gu Shihong also believed that Feng Xiaoqin was Gu Lei's best choice.
2. Suspicion gap
Gu Lei's great aunt and aunt had a word of gossip, which feng Xiaoqin was suffocated in her heart. Don't you just want to buy a house, guan seven aunts and eight aunts? Feng Xiaoqin did not move, only waiting for the right time to re-attack.
At this time, the little tiger took the brand-name school bag bought by Gu Qingyu and entered the house upside down. Feng Xiaoqin was immediately on fire, this school bag little tiger had been asking for a long time before, Feng Xiaoqin did not buy it because she felt expensive. Nowadays, Gu Qingyu bought it for the child, doesn't it prove that the aunt is capable and the mother has no ability?
Feng Xiaoqin put down the little tiger's new school bag, and with one arrow step, he stepped into the living room, "I am from a small place, and I have no sense of security, so I will make plans in advance for everything." If I don't force Gu Lei now, it will be me and the little tiger who will accompany him to eat the northwest wind in the future. I have been busy in the Gu family for 8 years, that is, the nanny, these years must have hundreds of thousands, right? I want to buy my own house, is there something wrong? ”
Gu Shilian and Su Wangdi saw the situation and said nothing more. The same women, the bitterness of taking care of the family, the eagerness of hoping for a husband Jackie Chan, they can still understand. Women are emotional animals, taller than stronger than miserable, but more easily supported.
Feng Xiaoqin has really worked hard in the Gu family over the years, and even Shanghainese cuisine is excellent.
The original book reads: "Feng Xiaoqin has been coming to Shanghai for a long time, a few small dishes, such as grilled crucian carp with onions, fried shrimp in oil, sweet and sour ribs, have been very hot, even Gu Xiaoqin's picky mouth, from time to time also popped out a few words of praise, 'can', 'not difficult to eat', 'like a little look', everyone said, Feng Xiaoqin is a good daughter-in-law." ”
Every week, at family dinners, Feng Xiaoqin is also busy preparing before and after, and she can't take care of eating. There is a scene in the TV series, Feng Xiaoqin, because she has no money to buy a house, pretends to travel to Nanjing in one breath, and the Gu family is not taken care of. As a result, the Gu family was in a mess, and Gu Lei also fell in a hurry because he sent his children to school.
Accustomed to the meticulous care of others, once lost it will be difficult to adapt. Not only Gu Lei, but even Gu Shihong also had a deep understanding. However, over the years, the Gu family has also been good to Feng Xiaoqin.
Not long after Feng Xiaoqin married into the Gu family, his sister Feng Xixi came to Shanghai. It is not easy to find a job in Shanghai, Gu Shihong and Mrs. Gu pity Feng Xixi, a girl who is lonely and lonely, so they promised Feng Xiaoqin that Feng Xiqian would live in the Gu family.
But there was no agreed time limit when I lived, and then it became "easy to ask God to send God to be difficult." Fortunately, Feng Xixi is still quite sensible, but after all, she is the sister of her daughter-in-law's mother-in-law's family, and the Gu family has no reason to help take her in.
Today, Feng Xixi has settled down in Shanghai. Feng Xiaoqin also planned to take her younger brother Feng Danian to Shanghai, and for the convenience of her younger brothers and sisters, she actually moved her mind to buy a house.
When Gu Shihong thought of this, he couldn't help but hiss his teeth. But Feng Xiaoqin and Gu Lei moved out to live on their own, which means that Gu Shihong and Old Lady Gu will have to take care of themselves on their own in the future, not only that, if Feng Xiaoqin moves away, gu Shihong wants to see the little tiger in the future, and it will be more difficult.
Thinking of this, Gu Shihong felt that Feng Xiaoqin's speed of unloading and killing donkeys was a little fast, and the eating appearance was also a little ugly. I couldn't help but sweat for Gu Lei's future life. Gu Lei was honest, at Feng Xiaoqin's level, if he wanted to calculate Gu Lei, it would not be an easy task. Having said that, Gu Shihong did not want to let Gu Lei get a divorce because of this, after all, he was divorced, and it was not good for someone like Gu Lei to find someone else.
3. Transformation
For the sake of Gu Lei, Gu Shihong thought twice, or decided to give his savings to Feng Xiaoqin. The so-called "rather tear down ten temples than destroy a marriage", not to mention that Gu Lei is his own son, and he still hopes that they will live a good life. Feng Xiaoqin was very happy and promised to continue to be responsible for Gu Shihong and Mrs. Gu's living and eating after moving.
Originally, this matter was even in the past. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingyu inserted a foot inside. Closing the door, he grunted and lectured Gu Lei a lesson, asking him to guard against Feng Xiaoqin, don't be fooled by Feng Xiaoqin. Gu Qingyu spoke with a strong voice, and Feng Xiaoqin gritted her teeth as she listened outside the door.
The matter of the couple, she Gu Qingyu a big sister all day in the mix, what is going on? The more Feng Xiaoqin thought about it, the more angry she became, and she went out the door with her suitcase. Gu Lei grabbed the door and came out, fell down the stairs between the pulls, broke the glass placed in the corridor by the neighbor, and went west on the spot.
At this point, the whole family was confused. They did not expect that life was so fragile, and they did not expect that Feng Xiaoqin would file a complaint and take the neighbor who put the glass to court.
Gu Qingyu put on a contemptuous look that saw through everything, and said with a knife in his words: "Xiaoqin, what is your purpose in fighting this lawsuit?" Is it to ask for an explanation, or to ask for compensation. I know that you are worried about the little tiger's future tuition and living expenses, I promise to be responsible for the little tiger to the end, if you don't believe it, I can give you a note. ”
Gu Shihong also laughed, and like Gu Qingyu, he expected Feng Xiaoqin to only love money. Unexpectedly, Feng Xiaoqin really did not want money this time, just to ask for an explanation. Until the end of the lawsuit, Gu Shihong's ears often echoed Feng Xiaoqin's accusations against Gu Qingyu: "I still want to sue you for killing your brother!" We would have been reconciled, if you hadn't talked nonsense and provoked the relationship between our husband and wife, would I have left?! ”
The truth is often the harshest, and although Gu Shihong's mouth is protecting Gu Qingyu, he also has a tendency in his heart. Gu Qingyu's words were indeed a bit aggressive. Although Feng Xiaoqin is good at calculation, but after marriage, she still counts her duty, saying that there is a pure love between her and Gu Lei, Gu Shihong does not believe, but love has a time limit, and the need is eternal.
Feng Xiaoqin needs to settle down in Shanghai, and Gu Lei and the Gu family need someone to take care of, so they need each other, but they will not part ways. Now that Gu Lei is dead, the problem will become complicated. Feng Xiaoqin is so young, it is very likely that she will remarry. Although she remarried, she was afraid that she would take the little tiger away.
Gu Shihong was worried that Feng Xiaoqin would not let him see his grandson, and he knew that Feng Xiaoqin would not easily show his bottom card. So, he went around in a circle and decided to probe the mouth of the little tiger. Unexpectedly, the little tiger said, "My mother will not leave this house, and she is still afraid that you will drive her away." ”
As soon as these words came out, the stone in Gu Shihong's heart fell. Therefore, he took the initiative to show goodwill and freeze the previous suspicions.
In fact, Gu Shihong also knew that after this time, there was already a gap between the Gu family and Feng Xiaoqin. But the days always have to go on, and no one is without scruples and entanglements. For Gu Shihong, his entanglement is a small tiger; for Feng Xiaoqin, her scruples are swept out of the house.
Since we both have weaknesses, it is better to let go of our prejudices and live a good life together. Gu Shihong's words to Gu Qingyu made me feel very deeply: "I know that you have an opinion on doing things and are a good hand in your career. But after all, we are living a life, you are always so calculating, analytical, inevitably a little aggressive. There was no way to go on that day. ”
Indeed, you can't be too reasonable and aggressive. Especially when it comes to dealing with family relationships. In real life, how many mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have made the family jump because of the small things of sesame seeds; how many couples have said words that hurt each other because of disagreements.
In fact, living at home, it is inevitable to encounter stumbling. Especially this unrelated connection that is established as a result of marriage. But the days always have to go on, if you are destined to look up and not look down, it is better to take a step back, but it will be more comfortable than the sword.
