Chapter 9 The Zhou Family's Blacksmith Shop
"Didn't you say it was an elementary school classmate? Because Xiaojun only studied until the sixth grade, he only had elementary school classmates. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Jingzhou is also very strange about this thing.
"You don't really know, do you have these two little guys already made a private decision for life at that time, and they won't report it. Old Man Chen also said cheerfully.
"Really, I have no reason to lie to you." Li Jingzhou said flatly: "However, this time this kid seems to have changed a lot in terms of personality when he comes back, and he is not as impulsive as before." Moreover, he is much more sensible than before. ”
"Okay, don't ask, why haven't the two children come down yet!" Old Man Chen smiled.
"Grandpa, we're here, what's the matter?" At this time, Xiaoyue walked out. Followed by the small army.
"It's okay, we're almost there, or let's go back and it's almost night." Old Man Chen said hypocritically. As he spoke, he looked at his granddaughter.
At this time, Li Xiaoxin, the second brother of Xiaojun, quickly rushed in from outside, carrying a large bag of Chinese herbs in his hand. He was still shouting the name of the little brother: "Xiaojun, Xiaojun, I have caught the medicine back." ”
"Second brother, it's okay, just leave it to me." Xiao Jun said and took the Chinese herb from the second brother's hand.
"Xiao Xin, what are you doing in a panic, it's not polite at all." Old Man Li saw his second grandson panicked.
"Old Chen is good," Li Xiaoxin suddenly realized where he was rude, and only then respectfully respected. Immediately, like Xiaoyue nodded.
After sending off the old man Chen's grandson and grandson, Xiao Jun carried the Chinese herbs to the kitchen, ready to wash the Chinese herbs. When he arrived in the kitchen and saw his second sister-in-law preparing to cook, Xiaojun felt that there was nothing. At this time, the second sister-in-law, Linghu Meiyu, rushed over and asked urgently: "Little brother, can the medicine you prescribed really work?" I'm still scared, it's been eight years, and there's no hope in my heart. If you can really take care of my health, give birth to a son for your Li family and your second brother, and I can treat you as a cow and a horse. Xiaojun's second sister-in-law, Ling Hu Meiyu, said sincerely.
"Second sister-in-law, don't tell me this, I promise that your happiness has just begun?" Xiaojun said with a confident look: "You and your second brother have worked hard all these years, and you have to take care of your grandfather, father, and run this family with so much farm work, it's really hard for you and your second brother, this is what I should do."
Xiaojun was boiling medicine while having a family routine with his second sister-in-law, and by the way, he learned about the situation at home and what had happened in his hometown in the past seven years.
"Since you left seven years ago, your grandfather and father have been depressed for a long time, and your eldest brother and your second brother will not be much better. You think, you're a twelve-year-old child, we don't know where you've gone, only your grandfather knows, and he doesn't talk about it, and we don't dare to ask. I only know that Hanako disappeared after being beaten by you, and grandpa did exactly what he said! Speaking of this, Linghu Meiyu seemed to want to say something and stopped, whether there was anything to hide.
Chapter XXIII
"It's okay, second sister-in-law, I just want to find out what happened, just tell me, I don't have the same impulse as before now." Xiaojun's voice was a little louder, because he felt that something bad must have happened, and the family was hiding it from me.
At the urging of Xiaojun, Linghu Meiyu said something that made Xiaojun angry.
"It was the second year of your departure, and my father went to the seedling field to see if there was any water in the field, and it turned out that the second team of the Chen family and the first team of the Huang family were releasing water (irrigating the rice fields). Chen Ronggai of the Chen family is Xiaoyue's uncle, and Huang Benming of the Huang family is Huang Xinxin's uncle, and they fought because of irrigation. Dad happened to go to the field below the weir ditch to see the water. ”
Seeing that, I persuaded a few words, but what I didn't expect was that the more I persuaded me, the more energetic I became, and in the pulling, the two of them knocked my father to the ground, and stepped on my father's thigh to fracture and flashed his waist. It took my father two months to lie in bed before he could get better. "The hateful thing is that when something happened, they didn't care, and in the end, the eldest brother-in-law came to our house and saw my father and took him to the hospital, and came back to tell my grandfather that my father was injured, and we were not at home at the time."
"Didn't the eldest brother and the second brother go to them? How can this kind of thing just be left alone? Xiao Jun's voice was much louder.
"Go, go, Xiaojun, don't get excited, listen to what I say." Linghu Meiyu saw Xiaojun's angry temper and hurriedly stopped him and said.
In fact, Xiaojun's temper is already very good now, if he had a temper at the age of twelve, he would have gone to find someone with a chopper.
"It's okay, second sister-in-law, I won't be as impulsive as before, but I hear some anger. I'll take my time to find them back. Xiaojun said lightly.
"Your eldest brother and second brother went, but those people were quite unreasonable. Moreover.. Linghu Meiyu had an expression of wanting to speak: "The uncle of the two families came out to mediate and lost 1,500 yuan, but it hasn't been cashed out yet, and it's been six or seven years." We thought Dad was all right. So, there has been no end. ”
"So, how much do they owe us now?" "Why didn't it materialize? Which one owes how much? I'll find them ten times back, don't worry, second sister-in-law! Xiao Jun still said lightly.
The second sister-in-law Ling Hu Meiyu saw that Xiaojun was not angry: "Chen Ronggai owes 1,000 yuan, and Huang Benming owes 700." Chen Ronggai deliberately didn't take it, and your second brother asked several times at that time. Huang Benlin did not have much money at home at that time, and he may have forgotten it later. We didn't ask for it anymore, as if begging for money. ”
"Your second brother couldn't raise his head because I didn't give him a child, so your second brother went a few times later, and they were humiliated. I simply didn't ask, and I haven't settled the accounts yet. Linghu Meiyu looked scoundrel after speaking.
"Okay, second sister-in-law, now I heard you say that I want them back a hundred times more." "Not tenfold now." A murderous expression flashed in Xiao Jun's eyes.
"Second sister-in-law, your medicine is ready. Wait until it's cold. Xiao Jun slowly lifted the medicine jar from the fire.
"I'm ready to cook, and there's a soup to cook, so I'm ready for dinner." Linghu Meiyu replied.
Xiao Jun brought all the food to the table, called his grandfather, father, and second brother to come over for dinner, and the meal was finished in a harmonious atmosphere, Xiao Jun still insisted on washing the dishes, and everyone followed his wishes.
After cleaning up, Xiaojun also came to the hall to sit down, and the second brother asked anxiously: "Can your second sister-in-law conceive a child by drinking that medicine?" ”
"Of course not," Xiao Jun said as he took the second brother's hand and cut the pulse: "Second brother, you also go and drink some of the medicine that the second sister-in-law drank." ”
"I, drink medicine, Xiaojun, are you mistaken, I'm in good health and don't need to drink medicine!" The second brother Li Xiaoxin became a little louder, and stood up as he spoke. It's as if a cat is being stepped on by its tail.
"Second brother, yes, you don't know your own body, it doesn't mean I don't know, don't forget that I am a doctor now." Xiao Jun had a very serious demeanor that he had known for a long time.
"Xiaojun, are you sure that your second brother also has a physical problem." Xiaojun's grandfather Li Jingzhou also asked strangely. Hasn't the second child always been in good health? How can there be a problem, why is the third grandson in poor health as soon as he comes back.
"Grandpa, trust my judgment, I can't play such a joke with everyone." "Grandpa, your high blood pressure is only a little bit, however, there are other problems." Xiaojun continued.
"Father's waist is not so thorough, I'll just give him a massage later." Xiaojun said again.
"Okay, good", Xiaojun's grandfather said three 'good' words in a row, and his mood was quite good: "Second child, just listen to your brother!" ”
"Okay," Xiaojun's second brother Li Xiaoxin heard his grandfather say this, and his little brother shouldn't make such a joke, so he readily agreed.
"Xiaojun, I discussed with your grandfather that you are coming back, and invite all the relatives and the old people in the family to sit down, do you have any opinions?" Xiaojun's father, Li Zhongbao, asked softly at this time.
"I don't have any opinions, I think the main thing is to invite some who should be invited, don't invite everyone, if you have some grudges with our family, you should invite them to come, I want them to know that I am still Li Xiaojun." Li Xiaojun's voice became a little thicker.
"Xiaojun, grandpa knows that you used to have grievances with some people, but we still have to be polite, many things have changed now, and it's not what it was seven years ago." Grandpa Li Jingzhou: This is a reminder for his grandson.
In the past seven years, many things have changed dramatically, such as village officials, town officials, and county officials, but there is nothing remarkable for Li Xiaojun.
They are changing, I am changing, the world is also changing, no matter how it changes, it is still the survival of the fittest, and it is still the world of the jungle. Zai Xiaojun also thought so.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I know what to do, and besides, no one in our family will dare to bully in the future, no one will offend me, I will not offend anyone. If anyone sins against me, he will pay it back tenfold. "That's what I really think right now.
It was getting late, and many of the people who had eaten had basically started to be entertained, and some of them were singing mountain songs while tearing the corn coating, and the children were also competing to play, which seemed to be more than happy. Occasionally, there was a cry from playing, and something was happening.
Dalongtang Bay Zhoujia blacksmith shop
Dalongtang Bay also belongs to a squad in Tianba Village. Leaving Xiaojun's house, that is, the two-kilometer road is basically all members of the Zhou family, which is close to the coal mountain, so there are quite a lot of people who strike iron.
Zhou Ruozhi sat alone on the dam at the door of her house and watched her younger brother learn to ride a bicycle alone, but her mind was not on her younger brother. And she already has the outline of a person in her heart, he was always very good to her when she was a child, and often helped her. At that time, there was a firm mind in her young heart. When I grow up, I want to marry him as a wife, give him a son, and serve him well. I didn't expect that seven years ago, a bad news came that he was missing, but after being sad for several nights, it didn't feel right, why didn't I see their family to look for him, it's really strange.
