If it were the same, Chen Wan would have to whisper to her, but he didn't react much today.

Chen Wan pursed her lips, then squeezed out a smile, and replied, "It's nothing."

Seeing that she had already brought the firewood into the house, Gu Qiao had to busy chopping the firewood first. When the firewood was chopped, she had to busy making tofu.

Gu Qiao had no time to talk to Chen Wan in detail, so he could only observe her first. When the tofu was ready in the evening, while Chen Wan went to pick vegetables, Gu Qiao hurriedly followed her to the vegetable garden and asked her: "I have been observing you all day today, and you are absent-minded. Is something happening?"

"No, it's okay." Chen Wan's eyes flashed.

"No," Gu Qiao grabbed her arm and pulled her in front of him, "It's really okay? You don't look like you're okay. We're a family, and you have to tell me what you have to do."

Chen Wan pursed her lips and hesitated for a while before saying, "The night before yesterday, that was the night of Zhongyuan Festival, I saw my uncle coming again. Did he ask for money again?"

Gu Qiao was stunned, then ready to pretend to be stupid, and quickly said, "No, it's just a priest of the moon. He came over to remind grandma and asked grandma to remind your brother, remember to burn paper money for your parents."

"Impossible." Chen Wan raised his eyes and looked at Gu Qiao, and his clear eyes reflected the reluctant expression on Gu Qiao's face.

In this case, let alone Chen Wan doesn't believe it, Gu Qiao himself doesn't believe it.

"Sister Qiaoer, I know you lied to me." Chen Wan preached.

Gu Qiao sighed, quickly picked the cowpeas in his hand and put them in the rattan basket, and then said to her: "Don't worry, grandma has its own qualities. Your brother is now a critical period for the hospital examination. We can't drag him down and let these things bother him."

Seeing Chen Wan pursing her lips and her expression was very similar to when Chen Zhao was upset, Gu Qiao immediately patted her on the shoulder, "Just listen to me, don't worry so much if you have anything to do. Didn't I tell you before, this person--"

"This person is the most important thing, money is something outside of your body." Chen Wan immediately followed, looking at Gu Qiao, and laughed immediately, but tears were hidden in his eyes.

However, with Gu Qiao enlightened her, she finally felt much better.

*

In a flash, it was July 20th, the clan elder's seventyth birthday.

The family members had a banquet at their homes, and all the young and old in Gujia Village went there.

The children were happy to have food, but the adults who didn't know wanted to give gifts. Gu Qiao saw their carefree faces, and how could he play with them?

However, she couldn't hide at home and didn't come out, so she would lose face. Although she was a little brat, she couldn't make a real deal, so she came with Chen Wan and the others.

"Luckily your brother is going to school today, otherwise he would be uneasy." Gu Qiao secretly preached to Chen Wan.

Chen Wan covered her mouth and nodded.

As the two were talking, Chen Wan saw Gu Ling walking towards them and hurriedly pulled Gu Qiao, "Sister, why didn't Brother Gu Ling go to school? He seemed to be coming to us."

Gu Qiao looked up and saw Gu Ling.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Ling had already arrived in front of him.

"You haven't gone to school?" Gu Qiao asked.

"My great-grandfather celebrated his birthday today, so I took a leave of absence specifically." Gu Ling replied.

"Oh, then you haven't been to entertain guests yet? I won't delay you." Gu Qiao said, pulling Chen Wan and leaving.

But Gu Ling hurriedly moved his footsteps to block her, "Don't hide from me."

"I didn't hide from you, I'm afraid of delaying you." Gu Qiao squeezed out a smile stiffly.

In fact, since the New Year's Eve, Gu Qiao has deliberately avoided Gu Ling. Fortunately, Gu Ling, like Shen Zhao, wished she could bury her head in the book and didn't have time to come to find her.

Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Gu Ling saw that there were too many people in the yard and there were not many people involved, so he left reluctantly.

Gu Xiao stood not far away and saw that Gu Ling's eyes were almost stuck to Gu Qiao, his face turned green and his hands were almost squeezing.

It was not until Gu Ling's figure disappeared from the Moon Gate that she angrily withdrew her gaze.

Turning his head and seeing the other friends having fun, they treat her as transparent people, she hates Gu Qiao even more.

If it weren't for Gu Qiao, would the friends in the village ignore her?

She immediately buried her head in the winery, stood with her back against the wine jar, and then lowered her head and took out a yellow paper bag from her arms.

"What are you doing here!" Gu Ren's voice suddenly rang.

Gu Xiao was startled and quickly put the thing in his pocket

"What are you doing here?" Gu Ren asked again.

Gu Xiao's expression was very stiff, and then he replied: "The friends in the village all reject me and don't play with me, I... I feel uncomfortable, so I find a place to purify."

Seeing that his daughter was like this, Gu Ren couldn't help feeling distressed and immediately rubbed the top of her head.

"Then go there and watch the fire, the stove is inseparable." Gu Ren preached.

Gu Ren hopes that his daughter will stay with him so that she won't stay alone and think about it.

Gu Xiao looked embarrassed, "Dad, that fire is so hot, I..."

"Oh, Daddy forgot that you are a girl's house, then you go find your mother." Gu Ren said immediately.

"Yes." Gu Xiao nodded, and then he walked out absent-mindedly.

But when she passed by the gourd that had been brewed by wine, her eyes became deeper, and the hand that was in her pocket held the bag of medicine even harder.

Gu Ling only did not take the college entrance examination. After passing the college entrance examination, he became a scholar.

If she becomes a scholar, she is not worthy of being a rural girl. Even if Gu Ling is willing to marry her, the clan elder will definitely not be happy.

Moreover, she specifically asked, if she became a scholar, Gu Ling would be able to enter the official school.

The official school is in Ruling City, and Gu Ling can only take a leave to return to the village. At that time, she will not be able to see Gu Ling for ten days and a half moon, and she will have no chance to develop feelings for Gu Ling.

I heard that Gu Qiao often goes to the city to deliver ash tofu. What if Gu Qiao and Gu Ling become?

Gu Xiao never thought at this time that the clan elder did not agree that she was with Gu Ling, so how could he agree that Gu Qiao was with Gu Ling?

It happened that she was blinded by jealousy. Whenever she thought of Gu Ling and Gu Qiao, she felt jealous and extremely uncomfortable. In addition, there was one thing she analyzed very well, that is, after Gu Ling became a scholar, she would never have any involvement with her anymore, so she decided to take action.

This was the only way she came up with after thinking about it for a few months - cooking the rice into a cooked rice.

At that time, Gu Ling would have to marry her if he didn't marry her.

Although this move is very risky, if it works, she will be Gu Ling's wife and the great-grandson-daughter-in-law of the clan elder.

So, she decided to take a chance.

Fortunately, her mother is going to the kitchen to help the kitchen today, so she doesn't look at her all the time. She often goes to and from the tribe's hometown, and everyone is used to her appearance, so she doesn't pay much attention to her whereabouts.

Gu Xiao sneaked into the backyard.
