Snapped!

Bai Xiaohua closed the door with her backhand. She had been holding in a lot of anger today, but she still couldn't let it out. When she entered the door, she made a sideways comment: "Brother Dazhu, were you really sleepwalking last night? How did you walk so far?"

Liu Dazhu said impatiently: "I'm sleepwalking. I don't know why."

Bai Xiaohua's face turned pale, and she was convinced in her heart that Liu Dazhu was going to have a private meeting with Du Pingping, and she was gritting her teeth.

Widow Liu was afraid that they would quarrel, so she quickly interjected: "Xiaohua, Mom knows that you are angry about this today, but I really don't blame Dazhu. He has had this problem since he was a child."

How could Bai Xiaohua believe it? She looked at Widow Liu with a smile but not a smile: "Mom, everyone is hungry after all the commotion all morning. You should go cook first."

Widow Liu was stunned by her words.

Bai Xiaohua saw that she still didn't recognize her, so she urged: "Mom, Brother Dazhu should be hungry too."

"Oh oh oh, okay, I'm going to cook." Widow Liu had no choice but to walk to the kitchen.

Liu Aihua glanced at her newly arrived sister-in-law. Bai Xiaohua didn't even glance at her sister-in-law from the corner of her eyes.

Growing up in a strange atmosphere, Liu Aihua was very sensitive. She keenly felt that her sister-in-law was different from before marriage. The smiling woman who gave her a candy seemed to have changed overnight.

Liu Aihua quickly followed Widow Liu away.

Bai Xiaohua turned her head, stared at Liu Dazhu and asked, "Brother Dazhu, there are no outsiders here. Tell me the truth. What did you do last night?"

She had a cold face and lost her usual gentleness.

Liu Dazhu was frightened all night because he didn't get the money back and made such a big fuss. What's more, he was always the boss at home. When he saw Bai Xiaohua's cold appearance, his temper suddenly became irritable.

"Just ask me, I slept like a dead pig last night. How could I sleepwalk if it weren't for you?"

Liu Dazhu, who was furious, turned red, and his ferocious face flashed with white flowers.

Bai Xiaohua did not expect that Liu Dazhu, who was somewhat gentle and kind before the marriage, would get angry at her the day after the marriage.

For a moment, grievance and disappointment came to her heart. Bai Xiaohua's eyes turned red and she ran into the house crying.

After all, he was still a newcomer. Liu Dazhu felt a little regretful when he had an attack. He went in and saw Bai Xiaohua crying so hard that he felt a little heartbroken. He lowered his head and said, "Xiaohua, I'm sorry. I'm tired and hungry after a long night. Angry at you."

Bai Xiaohua hated him in her heart for not giving him face, but thought of it, she still went down the ladder: "Brother Dazhu, you were so fierce just now, you scared me."

Liu Dazhu hugged her quickly: "It's my fault. I will definitely not be angry with you in the future."

Bai Xiaohua was satisfied and said softly: "Then you have to remember this sentence. I am your wife. I ask because I am worried about you and thinking about you. It's better for you."

Liu Dazhu's heart softened at what she said, and he said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, what my wife said is right."

Only then did Bai Xiaohua burst into laughter: "Just remember that I am the best to you, Brother Dazhu, for you I even spent every penny of my dowry money."

She snuggled into Liu Dazhu's arms and didn't see the flash of distortion on Liu Dazhu's face.

Liu Dazhu was thoughtful and concerned about face. Hearing these words once or twice, he felt that his wife liked him. After hearing this too often, he felt that Bai Xiaohua did not give him face.

As a newlywed couple, Liu Dazhu didn't have any fits and only coaxed her: "I will remember this relationship."

Bai Xiaohua suddenly became happy and secretly thought that it was okay if Liu Dazhu had an affair with Du Pingping. Du Pingping was gone and would not appear again for more than ten years, so she didn't have to worry at all.

The most important thing now is to coax Liu Dazhu to become the real mistress of the Liu family.

With this thought in mind, Bai Xiaohua became more and more gentle and considerate, and the couple really had a touch of newlywed tenderness.

None of this has anything to do with the old Gu family next door.

Gu Simei took off her brother's clothes and hung them to dry. When she saw that the sun was shining brightly and it had been sunny for several days, she encouraged Gu Sanmei to start washing and drying them together.

When Gu Mingdong put on his clothes and came out, he saw that the bamboo shelves in the yard were full of clothes, pants, and sheets.

Gu Mingdong wondered if the two sisters had dug out all the clothes in the box.

The cotton in the quilt was taken out and spread out on a bamboo plaque to dry. Gu Simei said that it would be warmer when sewn together.

Gu Mingdong took a look and saw that the two sisters were very busy, and even the twins were running errands to help.

"Brother, why are you out here? Don't catch a cold." Because the cotton-padded clothes had been removed and washed, Gu Mingdong only wore single clothes and looked cold.

Gu Mingdong smiled and said: "It's just a good time to repair the roof and house on a sunny day to avoid air leakage."

Mud houses are prone to air leakage, and the roofs are made of straw. Water leaks can occur if you are not careful.

Spring, summer, and autumn were fine before, but winter was a bit overwhelming. Gu Mingdong didn't feel well. He only remembered it now as he watched his sisters drying their quilts.

Gu Mingdong called his second brother, held the ladder and climbed to the roof.

After a while, the second brother Gu shouted from below: "Brother, you can't do this. It will definitely leak again when it rains. Otherwise, I should do it."

Gu Mingdong worked for a long time, and the hole under his hand got bigger and bigger. Roof repair was a technical job, and obviously neither the original owner nor he had mastered this skill.

On the contrary, the second brother Gu was good at repairing. He climbed up to the roof, as nimble as a monkey, and quickly repaired most of it.

"Second brother, you are good at repairing houses."

Second brother Gu immediately said proudly: "Of course, I stole it from my third uncle."

Seeing that he was doing well, Gu Mingdong simply asked Gu Sanmei to come over and hold the ladder while he and the mud began to repair the air leakage in the house.

While repairing the wall, Gu Mingdong was thinking about when he could build a house. It would be best to build a house with blue bricks and large tiles. He could build a few more rooms in one step.

It's just that the big tile-roofed house attracts people's attention, and it's not a good thing to be too pushy now.

After applying it over and over again, the earthen house seemed much warmer. The foundation of the old Gu family's house was still very good, and it was enough to protect it from wind and rain. Gu Mingdong gave up this idea for the first time.

After the brothers had cleaned up everything except Lao Gu's family, the sisters' drying was not over yet.

Gu Mingdong took one look and said, "I'm going out for a while."

"Brother, if you don't work in such cold clothes, you can wear my cotton-padded jacket." Gu Erdi took off his clothes and gave them to him.

Gu Mingdong didn't object, so he took it and put it on, but it was so tight that he couldn't even button it.

The second brother Gu, who stayed at home, had no cotton-padded clothes and was shivering from the cold. He urged: "Third brother, Xiaobei, quickly see if any clothes are dry. Find me something to put on first."

Gu Sanmei rolled her eyes: "You are the only one who knows how to please big brother."

But he still collected the clothes that were almost dry and threw them to the second brother Gu.

Brother Gu quickly put it on and said, "Who told you to wash clothes and dry quilts today? You can't do it on another day."

"Bah, washing your quilt is causing problems?" Gu Sanmei said disgustedly, "Your quilt is almost caked, and the water is black even after rubbing it for a few times. Do you think I am patient enough to wash it for you?" , you can wash it yourself from now on."

"It's so exaggerated. My quilt was just washed in the summer, and you always like to nag me."

The second brother Gu hummed and said: "If you don't want to wash it, Xiaobei will wash it for me, Xiaobei, right?"

Gu Sanmei hurriedly said: "Xiao Bei, don't wash him in the future, you'll get used to him."

Gu Mingbei was also used to their quarrels. He smiled and said nothing, and only comforted: "Second brother, don't worry, the sun is bright today, I will definitely be able to do it before going to bed."

"Xiao Bei is still considerate, unlike the third brother who is always fierce." Gu Erdi said, rushing over to help, "I'll help you."

But there is no way he would do this. It would be a disservice and not as neat as when he was repairing the roof.

Gu Simei had no choice but to say tactfully: "Second brother, why don't you go pat the cotton, so that it will be warmer after it is dried."

The second brother Gu had no choice but to go over and pull the cotton. Gu Sanmei immediately said, "Did you see that even Xiaobei despises you?"

The three people were quarreling, but it seemed that the old Gu family was lively.

At this moment, a voice shouted outside: "Is anyone home?"

The second brother Gu was working hard to beat the cotton. When he heard the sound, he was surprised: "Is this man blind? Aren't we all in the yard?"

Gu Sanmei stood up and took a look. It was Bai Xiaohua outside the door.

She was stunned for a moment and then said: "I'm at home."

In my heart, I underestimated why she was here.

Bai Xiaohua showed a smile: "Hello, I am Liu Dazhu's daughter-in-law next door. My name is Bai Xiaohua. You can call me Sister Bai."

Looking back at Sister Bai, Gu Sanmei looked at her strangely: "What's the matter with you?"

When Bai Xiaohua saw that she was not talking to her, instead of flinching, she continued, "You are Shumei's cousin, right? Your cousin Shumei and I are good friends. We have played together since childhood."

Gu Sanmei looked at her with an even stranger look: "So what's the matter with you? We are busy here and don't have time to chat with you."

After being rejected again and again, Bai Xiaohua's face became a little ugly. She glanced inside and asked, "Is your eldest brother at home?"

"My eldest brother doesn't know you, why are you looking for him?" Gu Sanmei asked.

Bai Xiaohua was slightly relieved because he seemed to be away. She didn't know why she always felt scared when facing Gu Mingdong.

At this time, the second brother Gu came out and said, "Why are you so weird? You don't say anything when you come to the door."

Bai Xiaohua couldn't hold back the smile on her face: "It's like this, I didn't see you here for the wedding wine yesterday, but today I came here specially to give you some wedding candies."

Gu Sanmei took the wedding candy and said with a smile: "You could have said no earlier, just give it to me."

"Thank you. Actually, you don't need to make a special trip. The village doesn't care about this."

"Hey..." Bai Xiaohua couldn't stop her.

Gu Sanmei asked doubtfully: "Is there anything else?"

Bai Xiaohua sighed: "Xiao Xi, we will be neighbors from now on, and we must get along well. If you encounter any difficulties, just come to me. Your cousin and I are good friends, and I treat you as my sister in my heart."

"I am the youngest in the family. I only have an older brother and no younger sister. Now that I see you, I feel happy in my heart. I feel like I finally have a younger sister."

What a weird habit, looking for a sister from someone else's house.

Gu Sanmei felt goosebumps all over her body, and said in response: "Okay, I understand."

Bai Xiaohua wanted to say something more, but Gu Sanmei had already turned around and was busy, so she had to turn around and go back.

As soon as she left, Gu Sanmei spread her hands and said, "There are six of us in our family and we have sent four candies."

If it hadn't happened before, or at least if they were invited to the wedding next door, it would be normal to come here at this time, but it was really weird for the new daughter-in-law to come here just after Widow Liu came.

After speaking, he also told his sister: "Xiao Bei, stay away from her from now on. This Bai Xiaohua has an evil nature, and the pretentious way she speaks is annoying."

When Bai Xiaohua returned to Liu's house, Widow Liu frowned and asked, "Xiaohua, what are you doing over there?"

Bai Xiaohua was impatient in her heart and looked down on Widow Liu, but she still explained: "Their cousin Sun Shumei is a good friend of mine. I went over to say hello and we can get along well with her in the future."

When Widow Liu heard this, she immediately said dissatisfied: "Didn't I tell you? Their family is not a good person and they are very ungrateful. You are not allowed to go there again in the future."

Bai Xiaohua curled her lips and didn't take her words to heart.

Naturally, she wanted to follow the neighbor next door, not because she really wanted to find her two sisters, but because she was interested in the old Gu family, which was rarely mentioned in the book and Sun Shumei had no contact with at all. Bai Xiaohua felt that the old Gu family might be hiding some unknown secrets.

On the other side, Gu Mingdong returned home, holding a bamboo basket in his hand.

"Come and see what it is."

The sound of chirping came from the bamboo basket, and Gu Simei stood up suddenly: "It's a chicken."

She ran over and took a look. She was shivering and hiding in the bamboo basket. Her whole body was beige and fluffy, but she was not a chicken.

Gu Mingdong tilted the bamboo basket, and six chicks slowly walked out. Their dark and bright eyes looked very energetic.

Gu Simei reached out and picked up one, and shouted in surprise: "Brother, where did the chicken come from?"

"Have you always wanted to raise chickens? I heard a few days ago that there were extra chickens in the village, so I ordered a few."

You can't raise too many chickens these days. According to the number of people in the family, you can only have one per person, so if there are many hens in the nest, they will be replaced.

Lao Gu's family used to raise chickens, but later they sold them for medical treatment when Li Lijuan fell ill.

Gu Mingdong wanted to raise chickens, but he couldn't find eggs in the recent winter, and the twins had stopped laying eggs.

The two sisters looked around the six chicks and seemed to see that they would lay eggs every day when they grew up, and there would no longer be a shortage of eggs at home.

Gu Sanmei has already made arrangements: "The chickens must be raised well. Second brother, please tidy up the old chicken coop to make sure it doesn't leak. From now on, Fourth Sister and I will take turns feeding the chickens. Ah Xing and Ah Chen can go there if they have nothing to do." Digging for worms, chickens eat the worms before they are willing to lay eggs."

The twins immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice: "We will catch a lot of bugs for the chickens to eat so that they can lay a lot of eggs."

The original chicken coop came in handy. Gu Mingdong walked in and saw the wedding candy on the table: "Where did this candy come from?"

Gu Sanmei pursed her lips: "Bai Xiaohua from next door sent it."

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows slightly: "What else did she say?"

"She said a lot of strange things. She asked me to call her sister, she said she and my cousin were good sisters, and she said she would be good neighbors in the future."

Gu Mingdong didn't know what Bai Xiaohua had in mind. Anyway, it was nothing good. He said calmly: "Don't pay attention to her, just be an ordinary neighbor."

Who knew that Gu Mingdong was not going to pay attention, but Bai Xiaohua seemed to be full of energy and appeared at Lao Gu's house from time to time.

She didn't dare to provoke Gu Mingdong and Gu Mingnan, but she always talked to the two girls, but every time she had a valid reason, and looked like a good big sister, which made the two little girls extremely disturbed.

Even the good-tempered Gu Simei complained: "I don't know what the new daughter-in-law next door thinks. She keeps coming over and knocking on the door, and she stays there for a long time, so I don't have time to work."

Gu Mingdong saw it and came up with an idea.

On the day of Laba, Gu Mingdong was about to go out to practice his method, but before he went out, an uninvited guest came to his house. .
