Chapter 955: Honor in Troubled Times 23
The group of people in Dafang really suffered a lot of sins along the way, and almost died halfway.
They didn't come to Nanyi with all their beards and tails.
Along the way, the old lady's little wives all died, and the old lady was also sick and crooked, so she hung her life.
There is also Xiao Lian in the big room who asked someone to rob it halfway, the Jin family in the fifth room asked someone to break her body, and the little wife of Xiao Su in the second room called Wei to sell it for food and water.
Anyway, when they came to Jingtian Village, it was really the same as escaping the famine, one by one in rags, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and after they came, the old lady took Xiao Jue to find the three Xiao Yuan brothers.
Here, Xiao Yuan and An Ning moved the furniture to the house, made new quilts and mattresses, and purchased some utensils on the stove, cleaned up the house inside and out, and the old lady on the back foot came to find it.
The old man will definitely entertain him when he finds it.
Even if the sect is divided, this is also the father of Xiao Yuan's body, and the relationship cannot be broken.
There was no way, Xiao Yuan invited the old lady and Xiao Jue into the house.
When An Ning saw the old lady come in, she smiled and blessed her body: "You are here." ”
The old lady wanted to laugh but couldn't.
He also starved along the way, and now there are a handful of bones left in his thin body, and the wrinkles on his face are more obvious. ”
Xiao Yuan led the two into the house, and said to An Ning: "Hurry up and serve tea to my father and eldest brother." ”
An Ning smiled: "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to boil water." ”
Xiao Fu and Xiao Yin also hurriedly followed An Ning into the kitchen.
As soon as she entered the kitchen door, Xiao Yin lowered her voice: "Mother, what are grandpa and uncle doing here? It doesn't mean that you want to live in our house, right? I can say it first, my house can't be lived in by others." ”
Xiao Fu was also reluctant to let the old lady and the people from the big house come over.
They have always been at odds with Dafang, plus when they were in Dali Temple, An Ning and Xiao Yuan were sick like that, and the Liu family didn't give silver, Dafang knew that Sanfang had nothing to rely on, but he only thought about how to divide the family, and didn't care about the life or death of Sanfang, which made several children completely cold to Dafang.
"We don't know what they're doing yet, but we'll avoid letting them all stay. ”
An Ning said to Xiao Yin while boiling water: "Don't worry, I won't let people into your sister's room." ”
"I'm willing to come and live with Sister Kerr, but others don't even think about it. Xiao Yin is now learning to be a little more domineering, her things are good and she doesn't want to be touched, if it's a relative, that's okay, but if it's someone she doesn't like, she'd rather throw it away than give it to people.
An Ning boiled the water, took some inferior tea leaves from the cupboard and put them in the coarse porcelain teapot, and took a few cups with openings.
"Mother, how do you get those tea leaves?"
Xiao Fu didn't understand.
An Ning smiled: "Your father must be crying poor with the old lady at this time, if you give them good tea, won't you tell them that your father is lying." ”
She smiled and patted Xiao Fu: "Go, bring the tea in." ”
Xiao Fu nodded and went in with the tea.
Xiao Yuan, they came to Nanyi, the adults and children have been sick, they are building houses, farming, buying things, and running all kinds of relationships, although they eat well, but their bodies are still a little weak, and they are also thin along the way, and they haven't made up for it yet, so they look thin and thin, and they have suffered a lot at a glance.
When the old lady saw Xiao Yuan's family like this, she thought in her heart that the third child must have no money here, otherwise she wouldn't be hungry like this.
After entering the house, the old lady was about to speak, and Xiao Yuan said: "Dad, I and my eldest brother are divided, and I don't say anything to my eldest brother to borrow money, I just ask my father, do you still have money, if you have it, can you lend it to your son, my son really can't open the pot." ”
Xiao Jue sneered: "Third child, don't cry poor with us, just the blue brick house you built, you still say that you have no money, who will believe you when you say this." ”
Xiao Yuan stiffened his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Big brother, don't you know how many catties and taels I have, when I came out of prison, the Zhao family and the Wei family gave money, but what about us? The Liu family didn't even show their faces, let alone money, we were almost poor and white, and there were three disasters along the way, where do we get money?" It's this house, and I borrowed a little money from the fourth child, plus I sold a bracelet that my daughter-in-law hid to build it, which really exhausted all the money, and there was no more, if you don't come, I have to go to the town to copy letters to make money, or do some coolies or something, anyway, I have to live no. ”
What Xiao Yuan said is understandable, everyone knows it in their hearts.
At the beginning, the people of the Liu family did not show up, Sanfang can be said to be the poorest, if you want to say how much money he has, then Xiao Jue does not believe it.
The old lady pulled a face and never said anything about borrowing money.
Xiao Jue looked left and right: "Third child, your house is not bad, so let's let us all live in, you see we just came, and we don't even have a place to live......"
Xiao Yuan looked at the old lady: "Dad, what do you mean?"
The old lady said in a low voice: "You have a lot of houses, let's live in, after all, ......"
Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly: "Do you want to pay for the house?"
"What's that?" Xiao Jue glared: "What do you mean by this? Daddy and mother have to pay for your house, third child, aren't you afraid that others will scold you when you say this?"
Xiao Yuan shook his head: "Daddy and mother live naturally deserved, and I won't ask for money, but the eldest brother and second brother, you have to pay for it, after all, we are divided, you can't live in my house for nothing, you look at my house built big, but I am useful, I don't have any money in my hand now, and I can't open the pot at home, so I want to clean up the front yard and make a school, and accept some students to teach them to read." ”
"You teach people to read?"
Xiao Jue jumped up all over: "Third child, you are joking, do you have a reputation?
The old lady also shook his head: "Third child, you don't understand the content of the book yourself, you still teach people to read, aren't you misleading people's children?"
Xiao Yuan looked at the old lady with a disappointed expression: "Dad, I can bear what others say about me, but you are my own father, how can you say that? I haven't read a book? When I wanted to take a scientific examination, who said that I didn't have that need? When I was studying, my husband said that I was a good reader, and if I took the scientific examination, I would definitely be able to pass it, but you didn't let me go...... When I first asked to marry my daughter-in-law, my old father-in-law had taken the school examination for me, and he said that I would inevitably win the township examination, and I was only how old I was at that time. ”
"Bragging rights. ”
Xiao Jue, I don't believe it if it's 10,000.
Xiao Yuan was helpless: "Dad, listen to Liu Yushi when he praised me, I didn't lie, it's all true." ”
The old lady thought back that there really was such a thing.
He nodded: "People are just polite." ”
"Dad, that's true, if I don't have that talent, he will let my daughter-in-law marry me? Liu Yushi likes to read the most, if I don't read well, our family will be the Guogong Mansion again, and people will not marry their daughters to me. ”
Xiao Yuan's words made the old lady stunned for a moment, he frowned, and still didn't believe that his third son really had the talent to read.
Xiao Yuan continued: "Also, my daughter-in-law, you have always said that she grew up in the countryside and was shaving in the soil, but don't forget what my father-in-law is from, he was born in a poor family, and when he first participated in the imperial examination, he was even five yuan, but the article written during the palace examination was slightly out of line with the saint's mind, plus my father-in-law is good, so I ordered Tanhua, otherwise, my father-in-law is the first champion of six yuan in our Daqi, my daughter-in-law has such a father, she can be bad, is she a light farmer?" That's not it, my daughter-in-law reads all the four books and five classics well, and at the beginning, my father-in-law privately praised my daughter-in-law for her talent. ”
Yes?
The old lady and Xiao Jue were stunned for a moment.
Xiao Yuan wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said to the old lady very sadly: "Dad, I have given birth to five children, but what kind of person your son and I are, you still can't figure it out, it can be seen how negligent you are in my daily life, I ...... My heart is really uncomfortable, my heart is almost cold, you only say that I am not good, that my daughter-in-law is not good, my daughter-in-law is not good, people have talent and ability, no worse than my sister-in-law and sister-in-law, this time back to Nanyi along the way whether it is looking for water or looking at the road, it is thanks to my daughter-in-law, if it is not for her, a large number of us are afraid that we will have to die on the way. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help crying: " I'm honest, my daughter-in-law's duty, you all look down on our family, when we were in the house earlier, our family ate the worst and lived the worst, I don't fight about these, I don't care about this, who made me my father's son, my father said what he wanted, but now I want to earn money to support my family, I want to teach a few students, you just, just accuse me, as if I have a little bit of good to get in the way of you, Dad, I am your son, I have talent to learn, I can live well, shouldn't you be happy. ”
