The next words were interrupted by Xue Gouzi again.
He gave a shy smile and seemed to be relieved: "It's not as if uncle asked you to come. Auntie, you almost scared me to death. I thought uncle only loved Brother Juncai but not me. Obviously Uncle said he loves me the most."
From then on, Xue Cuiping could no longer speak. She could only hurriedly say a few words that she didn't understand, then raised the door curtain and went out.
The room was very quiet. The eyes of the boy on the kang darkened, and there was a trace of vicissitudes that did not match his age.
Looking at such a little man, Zhao'er didn't dare to step forward. After a long while, he came over, sat on the edge of the kang, and said hesitantly: "Dog, are you okay?"
Looking at the worried face of the other party, Xue Gouzi smiled: "I'm fine."
Zhaoer pursed his lips tightly and touched his head: "Believe me, sister, one day we won't have to ask for anything."
*
Xue Cuiping left without even having lunch, taking with her a bag of wheat seeds that Zhao gave her.
No one knows what she said to Mr. Zhao, and what Mr. Zhao said to her. All in all, during lunch, both Zhao and Yang looked ugly, so that Sun and Zhou were cautious.
Zhaoer never looked at this. After the rice was placed on the table, she took two bowls to put the rice first and then add the vegetables. Lunch was not a sumptuous meal, just millet and rice, and the vegetables were stuffed white rice, radish, and some homemade pickles. There is also meat, all big fat meat, a small plate, placed in front of the men.
Men have to work in the fields and eat meat to stay strong.
Zhao'er didn't even want to eat meat. The meat cooked by Zhou was white and greasy, which made people unappetizing. She put some hot vegetables and pickles into the bowl as usual, not much, but Zhao suddenly dropped her chopsticks.
"It's just such a small amount of food. How can the two of you eat this? Is it the reincarnation of a hungry ghost or something like that?"
These words are very hurtful and slap in the face. Anyone with any self-respect can't stand it, but Zhao'er is used to it. That's how Zhao is, if anyone makes her unhappy, she will be disgusted in various ways.
She was not annoyed and continued to pick up the dishes. She originally planned to only pick up those dishes, but because of Zhao's words, she deliberately picked up two more chopsticks.
"I can't help it, Auntie. The dog needs to keep healthy. If you don't give him enough food, he must be full." As she said that, she suddenly turned to Mrs. Zhou and said: "Third Aunt, let's go You call me when you go back to wash the vegetables and choose them. Our family is not one of those who are too poor to eat. There are scholars in the family, and there is also a master Tong Sheng. Although grandma lives a careful life, she does not let everyone eat the food. people."
When it comes to criticizing Sang and Huai, Zhao'er thinks she can't lose to anyone, especially since she is holding her breath in her heart.
Sure enough, Ms. Zhao was immediately annoyed: "No matter how rich I am, I can't afford you to eat so much and not work every day, yet you can eat more than anyone else. A stupid girl like you, if you weren't Our family has been kicked out a long time ago."
Zhaoer immediately put away his smile: "Grandma, what you said is wrong. I came to the house when I was seven years old. What kind of work have I never done inside and outside? When my father died, I wore a mourning hat. Ling, when my mother died, I served her by her bedside day and night for more than half a year. I was the daughter-in-law of my second wife, and I gave my second wife a happy ending. I traveled far and wide to reason with her, and no one asked me to leave.
"But grandma, don't dislike my granddaughter-in-law's talkativeness. People are divided into different categories according to how many things they cook. Some people eat hot and spicy food and don't even know how to wipe the oil from their mouths. If it had been anyone else, eating some rotten Bai Song would have been a waste. The family raised more than a dozen chickens, and they often laid eggs. Tao'er and I fed them every day, but we didn't know where the eggs had gone. The dog got sick and has only eaten one egg so far. Don’t let me raise the chicken next time. I can’t eat it anyway. Whoever eats it will raise it.”
These words made everyone's faces look ugly. Among them, the faces of Dafang's mother and son were the most wonderful. They were red and white, just like a dyeing workshop.
He ate it secretly without wiping the oil on his mouth, which is exactly what Dafang is talking about. Mrs. Zhao was stingy, but she was not stingy with her eldest son and grandson. Mrs. Yang and her younger son naturally took advantage of it. The seven-year-old talented boy looked angry and seemed to want to say something, but was pulled hard by Yang.
Sifang Maodan is still young and has a greedy mouth. He has long been tired of eating Baisong. As soon as I heard about eggs, I couldn't help it, and shouted to Mrs. Sun: "Mom, I want to eat eggs, I want to eat eggs..."
In the quiet main room, a child's sharp cry was heard, which made people's forehead throb.
Ms. Sun was so upset by the crying that she couldn't help but slap her in the face: "Why are you making a fuss? Why are you eating eggs? There are no eggs for you!" Her tone was a little harsh.
To put it bluntly, no one is complaining, but they are just enduring it.
Maodan was slapped and cried even louder. Mrs. Zhao was already furious, so when she saw this, she immediately changed her target: "Mrs. Sun, you are so promising that you hit my grandson."
Ms. Sun has always been afraid of Mrs. Zhao, so she immediately smiled awkwardly and said: "Mom, Mao Dan is making trouble to eat eggs. How can there be any eggs for him to eat?" The latter sentence was muttered, and his eyes were subconscious as he said it. Then I looked at the mother and son in the big house.
Mr.
With a dark face, he patted the table: "No, what are you making a fuss about!" The square table was slapped so hard that its legs swayed, and the bowls and plates jumped up and down, making crisp sounds.
Zhao'er didn't pretend to be dead and said aggrievedly to him: "Master, this is not because grandma dislikes me and Gouzi for eating so much."
She put the bowl on the table, covered her face and started crying: "I just ate such a small amount of rice that made my throat irritate my throat. I didn't even see any oily stars, so I just said it was a waste of food." If I go out and show it to others, they will laugh to death. If grandma really dislikes me and Gouzi, why not give us a second room, and we will never eat and drink at home again."
When he heard the word 'family separation', Mr. Tone said: "Your grandma is upset about your aunt's family, so she is angry with you, but you are a junior, how can you talk back to your elders."
He turned around and scolded Mrs. Zhao again: "Tian Tian said that you don't have a long memory and have lived in a dog's belly all your life. What are you doing with those eggs? They are so smelly that you can't bear to eat them! Third daughter-in-law, you Go get some and stir-fry them for everyone to enjoy."
Just like this, Mr. Xue's words successfully silenced everyone.
Zhaoer's eyes flashed. She was not lying when she said she wanted to separate the family. Unfortunately, she was stillborn the first time she said it. But that's right, how could Mr. Xue allow the second house to be separated? If word spread about it, it would become a family bullying the two children. Besides, Mr. Xue also wants to twist the whole family into one, so that he can provide another scholar for the Xue family.
Not to mention these things, even though there was a scene, the whole Xue family had a meat meal.
Ms. Zhou fried a large bowl of eggs and left a bowl specially for Zhao'er.
This move is a bit intriguing. You must know that the third wife and her husband are usually taciturn. They are considered old scalpers in the Xue family. They rarely speak for the two children of the second bedroom.
However, Zhao'er didn't think much about it. Everyone in the family had their own thoughts, and she couldn't control anyone else's thoughts. Just don't make her anxious.
She returned to the house with the food. When she entered the door, she smiled at Xue Gouzi and said, "Look, dog, there are eggs for lunch."
*
Looking at the bright smile on the girl's face, a complex look flashed in Xue Gouzi's eyes.
Although he was in the house, the movement in the main room was not missed.
Zhaoer is like this, aggressive and fierce, and never cares about what others think of him. He used to care a lot and always felt that she was embarrassing and doing him a disservice. He tried to dissuade her many times but failed, and because of other things, he hid his disgust towards her.
Little did he know that he was the one who was hypocritical, inferior and stupid. Unfortunately, by the time he understood, it was already too late.
"You have a fight with grandma just to eat an egg."
After he finished speaking, he realized that he had not changed his previous awkward speaking pattern, so she must have misunderstood. Sure enough, a dark color flashed across Zhao'er's face, and then he said with a smile: "Xue Jun can eat it, but my dog can eat it too. Come and eat, take good care of yourself, and you will be well soon."
Look, she is like this, always treating him as a child and saying "I am a dog", but in fact he is no longer a child. The young man's mentality is sensitive and worrying. He doesn't like all this, but he doesn't know how to express it, so the discomfort slowly turns into disgust and subconscious avoidance.
Xue Gouzi didn't know why he thought of this. He just felt that he had become very strange now, as if he had become two people, one was Xue Gouzi and the other was Xue Tingyan. Whenever he encountered something related to Zhao'er, a voice would murmur in his mind, seeming to tell him what he was really thinking deep in his heart.
While he was thinking, something was fed to his mouth. He lowered his eyes and saw that it was a fried egg that was yellow, crispy and soft.
“Third Aunt also fried these eggs well. The dog took a big bite and grew taller and stronger after eating it.”
As soon as he said these words, Zhao'er regretted it.
The little man was so well-behaved today that she couldn't help but imagine the scene when she coaxed him to eat when he was still young. She had always coaxed the dog like this when she was a child, but suddenly the dog began to resist her and hated her the most.
While she was feeling uneasy, she saw that he was looking down and still, so she laughed dryly and was about to take back the spoon she handed over.
Suddenly, he came over and took a big bite, swallowing a spoonful of rice.
“It’s delicious.”
Looking at him chewing rice with drooped eyelids, Zhao'er immediately smiled: "If it's delicious, eat more. From now on, I will work hard to make money and give the dog scrambled eggs every day."
After speaking, she secretly glanced at Xue Gouzi from under her eyes. Seeing that he didn't show any displeasure, I couldn't help but feel relieved.
Actually, Zhao'er said this on purpose. The little man always hated her running around and learning to do business with others. The two of them had been unhappy many times over this matter, but she couldn't stop making money just because he didn't like it.
She wants to be rich, she wants to be rich enough to support her little man in school, and she doesn’t want to fight with these people like a black-eyed chicken. She thought a lot, and all of this required his support. After all, they were a family, and now they were the only ones left in the second room.
But Zhao'er has thought about it. Even if he objects, she will do it.
Of course I don’t object to the best.
Under this situation, she couldn't help but say a few more words: "I just told my grandma about the separation of the family, but I blocked him back." Seeing what the little man wanted to say, she interrupted: " Listen to what I said. There are some things that I didn’t want to tell you too clearly. I always felt that you were still young, and I didn’t want to disturb your studies. But what happened today, I can tell that you have your own ideas.
"Here at home, if we can fight for it, we will fight for it. It should be ours, and we can't just give it to others without knowing it. Even if we want to give it, we have to give a clear explanation, and we don't have to bully others like this!" Don’t be afraid if you can’t fight for it. Sister recently found a business, and I can raise the money to send you to school. Having said all this, I just want you to relax and don’t be afraid. Even if the sky falls, there will still be money for you to go to school. You bear it. People don’t just have one path. We have many paths to take. To fight against yourself is something only a fool would do."
Actually, Zhao'er had wanted to tell Xue Gouzi about this for a long time, but she also knew that the little man had many thoughts, and she was afraid that he would think too much. But who would have thought that he still thought too much, and even worried about it and became sick. Today was such a good opportunity, so she simply pointed it out.
Xue Gouzi looked at her.
The scene in his dream was not like this. Because of his sudden outburst, the Xue family was in chaos. Everyone in the family reprimanded him, saying that he was ignorant, not considerate of the family, and that he was unfilial, which made grandma angry. fainted. In order to protect him, Zhao'er quarreled with the Xue family, and finally even alerted the clan leader.
Zhao'er was whipped five times in public in the Xue family ancestral hall for disrespecting his elders and breaking his tongue, as a warning to others. And this matter was suppressed by the clan leader. He didn't even have the ability to resist, so what belonged to him was taken away from him.
Later Xue Juncai went to the school in the town and was very proud of it. The second room was completely disgusted by the family because of this incident, especially because the eldest room was causing trouble. Life in the Xue family was not easy.
No one at home spoke to them, and no one in the village spoke to them. He couldn't even go to private school because his uncle said he was a wolf-hearted person and couldn't teach him. He also said that Zhao'er had beaten his aunt, and he didn't want to cause trouble for his family anymore.
He was only fourteen at that time. Even if he knew that some people were not good people, he could not understand the malice in them. Maybe he could understand it, but the bad nature of human nature made him subconsciously pass the responsibility. He blamed Zhao'er for all his dissatisfaction, unsatisfactory results, and even the harsh fate of his fate.
Even if he later knew in his heart that he had wrongly blamed her and that he was dead wrong, the misunderstanding was too deep and the two of them had drifted apart, and he had no shame in explaining it all to her.
A young man was walking along the village path.
He was wearing a blue jacket. It seemed that he had not seen the sun for a long time, and his skin was pale and pale. He is also slender and thin, but his expression is calm and calm. He is obviously wearing poor clothes, and the village paths are uneven and there are even cow dung and chicken dung, but it still makes him feel like he is strolling in a leisurely garden.
It is the time of spring plowing, and everyone is busy plowing the fields at the moment. There are almost no people on the road in the village. Occasionally, someone's mother-in-law was doing work in the yard. She saw a person walking on the road from a distance. She looked at it carefully for a few times before recognizing who this person was.
"Gouzi, where are you going?"
Xue Tingyan looked at the woman who was talking to him, smiled and said: "Auntie, I'll just go for a walk."
It was just a casual remark, and the woman didn’t say anything more to him. She turned around and went into the house to get something. The mother-in-law in the house asked her: “Third daughter-in-law, who were you talking to just now?”
"The dog of the second room of Xue Lianxing's family. Hey, mom, it's strange for you. Just now he walked past the door, and I didn't recognize him for a moment. I always felt like he was a different person."
Her mother-in-law disapproved: "What can he become, and he can't change his skin. I remember that kid was ill recently."
The daughter-in-law said: "I think I am planning to go to the back mountain." There is a mountain behind Yuqing Village. The deceased villagers in the village are buried there, and the ancestral graves of the Xue family are also there.
Hearing this, her mother-in-law sighed: "Don't mention it, it's a pity to even have a second child in the family. The couple is gone, leaving only a baby is pitiful."
This was just gossip between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and while they were talking, Xue Tingyan had already taken Heizi into the back mountain.
*
The back mountain is called the back mountain, the mountain behind Yuqing Village.
This mountain is nameless and not high, but it is extremely deep. Anyway, so far, no villager has been able to walk back and forth from this deep mountain and old forest, and most of them do activities outside the mountain.
The ancestral grave of the Xue family is built on a hill not far from the village. This Xue family is not only the Xue Tingyan family, but all the ancestors of the entire Xue family are buried here.
In the center of such a large mountain is the clan leader's lineage, and spreading out are the various branches. Mr. Xue's lineage is at the foot of the southwest mountain.
The second wife and her husband died young, and Xue Qingsong died in a misfortune, so they were buried on the edge.
When Xue Tingyan arrived at the place, he began to pull out the grass around the grave.
There were not many weeds. They had just been cleaned up during the Chinese New Year. He gathered them randomly and placed them on the ground, then sat down in front of the grave.
