Chapter 63: Sixty-three
Sixty-three
Since celery suffered a loss in Xu You's hands, no one dared to get along with Xu You since then, in fact, everyone seemed to be a little afraid of her, except for the winter solstice and occasionally talking to her, the rest of the little girls were far away from her most of the time, looking respectful and awe-inspiring.
Xu You didn't feel excluded and ignored, she didn't want to play with these little girls, the little girls at this age are the most difficult to get along with, they have just opened their minds and eyes, and they don't speak straightforwardly, Xu You feels tired of dealing with them. She would rather talk to Ah Chu, who has been focusing on selling her sister for 20 years!
At the end of the month, the school assessment, Xu Yu and the others all got the honors, and as soon as the second uncle was happy, he took them to the street and said that he wanted to invite them to dinner.
Ah Chu was so happy, it was rare to take a day off and go out, and he deliberately asked the second aunt to put on new clothes, and when he walked, he also raised his head and chest, and when he went out of the alley, he met the neighbor's Xiao Wu, and he also took the initiative to go over to say hello to Xiao Wu, and chatted with him in a verbose manner, after a while, the topic turned to the matter of the school assessment, and then mentioned that he had taken the top prize with a little modesty, and saw that Xiao Wu showed both admiration and envy, and he left satisfied.
Xu You followed behind laughing so much that his stomach hurt, and he didn't dare to laugh out loud for fear of hurting Ah Chu's self-esteem, so that his face turned red. Zhao Chengjin has seen the world, he opened his eyes and saw Ah Chu showing off in front of him with a calm face, and even praised Ah Chu a few words without hesitation, and coaxed this child who had never seen the world to obey.
Although the second uncle had saved some private money in his hand, it was not much after all, and it was enough for a few of them to go to the restaurant in the roadside shop, but Ah Chu was already very happy, so excited that he couldn't find the north, the second uncle didn't feel anything at first, but later saw that Zhao Chengjin and Xu You had an indifferent and calm expression, so he couldn't help but whisper Ah Chu, "Isn't it just a meal, silly and happy like this, look at your brother Xiaoshun and sister Xiaoxue, how calm people are, learn a little in the future." ”
Ah Chu was not angry at all, grinning, "I'm just happy, if Daddy dislikes me and embarrasses, you will take Ah Chu out to eat every day in the future, and Ah Chu will be like Brother Xiaoshun." ”
The second uncle laughed angrily at him, and said angrily: "You little rabbit cub is embarrassed to say, if you hadn't been so talkative last time, the little silver that your father and I stole could have been confiscated by your mother?" Do you know that it's not easy for me to save a little money? I haven't drunk in two months! For the sake of you being my son, I told you, you are good, and you will sell your father in a blink of an eye. You still want me to take you out to eat every day, I dare to think about it. ”
Ah Chu was finally a little embarrassed, touched the back of his head in a wry, and carefully apologized to the second uncle, "I'...... I'm just quick talking, and I'll never be again. ”
Xu You also hurriedly said good things to him on the side, and the second uncle was not angry, so he went down the steps, nodded Ah Chu's forehead again, and whispered: "You can't do this again in the future, we are all men, do men have to help men know the way?" ”
Ah Chu nodded again and again, thought about it, and suddenly glanced at Xu You nervously, swallowed his saliva and whispered to the second uncle: "Sister Xiaoxue is a woman, will she go to sue her mother?" ”
The second uncle sneered: "You think Xiaoxue is so stupid like you, Xiaoxue understands in her heart, right, Xiaoxue?" He looked at Xu Yu and squeezed his eyebrows vigorously. Xu You also smiled and nodded: "Second uncle, don't worry, I have always been on your side." ”
Zhao Chengjin took a sip of the teacup, glanced at Xu You again, and smiled slightly.
Now Xu You's heart is weak when he sees his smiling appearance, his eyes are too sharp, which always makes Xu You have an illusion of being seen through, although he knows that he can't recognize her, but being stared at by such a pair of eyes always makes people feel furious.
"Why are you staring at me?" Xu You couldn't help it, and asked a little unhappily.
Zhao Cheng smiled and denied it: "How can I have it." As he spoke, he poured a glass of water for each of them. Ah Chu thanked him with a smile, and the second uncle looked at the two of them with a twisted brow, and asked curiously, "What did you two say?" ”
Xu You hurriedly diverted the topic, "Discuss what to eat." She bared her teeth at Zhao Chengjin, wishing she could arch her back and roar at him twice, but Zhao Chengjin's face never changed.
Halfway through the meal, there were guests at the door of the small restaurant, the second uncle swept his eyes, stood up suddenly, swept away the appearance of the man who had just hanged, became serious and serious, and greeted the visitor with a calm face, "Master Hu." ”
That Master Hu looked about the same age as Xue Dad, thin and thin like a scholar, wearing a half-new gray robe, not at all like an official master. He recognized Second Uncle Meng, looked at the children sitting around the table again, was slightly surprised, and said, "Are the children of Meng Zhukuai's family so old?" When he spoke, Zhao Chengjin had already gotten up and saluted him, and when Xu You saw this, he also took Ah Chu by the hand, and got up to salute that Lord Hu.
"Ah-" Lord Hu's eyes stared at Zhao Chengjin, full of suspicion, "This kid-" It really doesn't look like Meng Zhukuai, and when the words came to his mouth, Lord Hu suddenly realized that the meaning of these words was a bit easy to misunderstand, so he swallowed it again, but his eyes still kept glancing at Zhao Chengjin, and he smiled stiffly, "This kid is quite handsome." ”
Second Uncle Meng hurriedly explained: "It was our distant nephew who was separated from his family, so he came to our house. After that, he pointed at Xu You and said, "This is the daughter of my eldest brother's family." ”
Master Hu let out a long "oh-" and nodded and smiled, "It's Meng Zhutou's daughter, she looks quite similar." Xu You thought he was about to leave after a few greetings, but he didn't expect this Lord Hu to look left and west, sit down, and say to Xu You with a smile: "You continue, continue to ......"
Second Uncle Meng's face twitched, and he asked cautiously, "Why don't you go with Master Hu?" ”
Master Hu shook his head again and again, "No, no, I ate at home before I came out." ”
Since he said so, Second Uncle Meng didn't insist, and glanced at Xu Yu and them, signaling to continue. But there is such a Buddha sitting next to him, where is the food still delicious, even Ah Chu didn't bury his head in gnawing on the ribs anymore, and from time to time raised his eyes from under the rice bowl to glance at Lord Hu.
Master Hu probably noticed something, "hehe" laughed twice, glanced at the table, pointed to the empty plate with a few slices of green onions left on it, and said, "This...... It smells good. ”
Second Uncle Meng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly beckoned the shopkeeper to ask for a plate of braised pork. Master Hu didn't shirk this time, picked up a few pieces of chopsticks and ate them, and asked Second Uncle Meng curiously while eating, "Why did you come out with the children today?" ”
Second Uncle Meng was really Ah Chu's father, and he immediately got nervous when he heard this, but he still tried his best to pretend to be modest and low-key, "This...... It's just to come out and treat these children, it's not easy to study, it's rare that they work hard, and they get the top grades in the small exam......" His grin was so hard that he couldn't close it.
Lord Hu's movements stopped immediately, with a complicated and strange expression on his face, Second Uncle Meng thought that he had said the wrong thing, and his heart was uneasy, Lord Hu suddenly jumped up and rushed out of the small restaurant like an arrow from a string. Everyone was shocked, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao.
A few people were still stunned, and suddenly there was a burst of cheers outside, "The little rabbit cub dares to skip class again, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up!" ”
Second Uncle Meng immediately showed a suddenly realized expression, leaving a group of children and rushing out to watch the excitement. Xu You didn't care about eating, and quickly followed, and Zhao Cheng pulled Ah Chu to follow.
On the street, Master Hu was dragging a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy to jerk him, scolding while beating back, "Beat you little rabbit cub to death, play hide and seek with Lao Tzu, I think Lao Tzu is so easy to fool like your mother." The rice you eat is not as much salt as Lao Tzu's, so if you have a kind, you should be smarter and don't be caught by Lao Tzu......"
I really can't see that this Lord Hu is so strong! Xu You held his cheeks and watched with a sympathetic look at the young man being beaten and crying, and finally was grabbed by Master Hu's ears and snatched away, and couldn't help but tear a handful of sympathy for him. After watching the excitement, Second Uncle Meng led a few children to continue to come back for dinner, and Ah Chu finally couldn't help asking: "Daddy, who is that Lord Hu, he is really fierce." ”
Second Uncle Meng glanced at him and said, "You don't know?" County lord! ”
Ah Chu's face froze suddenly, and Xu You felt as if she heard the sound of Ah Chu's glass heart shattering to the ground.
The legendary wise, honest and honest county lord is actually such a ...... Wonderful image, it's really quite unexpected.
Everyone thought it was just an unexpected encounter, although Ah Chu was hit harder, but the reality is so cruel!
As a result, in the evening, the unreliable Lord Hu actually came to the door in person, and it was their "little rabbit cub" who was hanging his head behind him. The "little rabbit" looked very unhappy, and he didn't raise his head since he entered the door, until he was slapped twice by Master Hu, and then he raised his face angrily - Ah Chu suddenly shuddered, and couldn't help but feel a little painful. This Lord Hu is short-tempered, not to mention, and he is quite ruthless.
The little rabbit cub was beaten to a blue nose and swollen face, almost unable to see his facial features, and he didn't know if he was like Lord Hu, his temper was a little stinky, even if he was scolded by Lord Hu like this, he was still as strong as a cow, and looked around the house, looked at Xu You and Ah Chu with unkind eyes, and finally fell on Zhao Chengjin's face angrily, as if it was his enemy.
Seeing that this was wrong, Lord Hu wanted to rush forward to teach people a lesson, but was stopped by Xue Dad and Second Uncle Meng, and said all the good things, so he temporarily let the little rabbit cub go, and talked about the origin of today, it turned out that he couldn't discipline the child by himself, and he gave people to the Meng family.
"Okay, you can beat and scold as you like, and it's okay. If he dares to be disobedient, he will discount his leg to Lao Tzu......" Master Hu finished scolding his son, and then put on a high hat for Xue Daddy and Second Uncle Meng," ...... is still the Meng family's strict style, if you can't teach your children to be so smart and sensible. If this little rabbit cub in our family can have half of your children's obedience, I will burn high incense......"
Mrs. Meng and Xue Dad are a little embarrassed, after all, other people's children are not easy to manage, and a sensible child like Zhao Chengjin is just that, the eldest young master of the Hu family is obviously not a good stubble, and even the county master can't control it, where do they dare to care, in case this eldest young master is accidentally made of something, I don't know how to explain it.
Xue Dad was about to open his mouth to refuse, but Second Uncle Meng had already opened his mouth to respond, and patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Lord Hu, you can rest assured to put the eldest young master in our house." With us watching, we are sure that nothing will happen. Brother Shun'er's homework has been praised even by Mr. Fang, and even a child as old as Ah Chu can be taught well, not to mention the eldest young master. ”
Master Hu was so excited that he was about to cry, and he held Second Uncle Meng's hand with tears and said, "I'm relieved to have Meng Zhu's words." In the future, don't call this little rabbit cub any big young master, the little cub's name is Hu Pengcheng, and the little name is Brother Peng. You're welcome, if this little cub is disobedient, beat me until he is obedient......"
Young Master Hu Pengcheng couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and quietly raised his eyes to look at Xue Daddy and Second Uncle Meng, and saw that the two of them were full of muscles under their thin clothes, and they were strong one by one, and suddenly felt that their future was bright.
Now that Second Uncle Meng has already responded, Mrs. Meng and Xue Daddy have no choice but to respond hard, and it is not clear what they think in their hearts. Lord Hu finally found someone to take over the rabbit cub, and immediately left his son at the Meng family and ran away.
Hu Pengcheng didn't feel embarrassed about his father's shameless style, he put a colorful face in the middle of the yard and asked firmly: "Where do I live?" ”
The second aunt rubbed her temples and resigned herself to tidying up the room. Second Uncle Meng said to Zhao Cheng solemnly: "Brother Shun, you first take Brother Peng to the study to sit for a while, and then go back to rest when your second aunt cleans up his room." ”
Zhao Cheng nodded, glanced at Hu Pengcheng, and said in a low voice, "Come with me." With that, he turned around and walked in the direction of the study. Hu Pengcheng didn't want to move, so he snorted and glanced at him, but he didn't expect Zhao Chengjin to ignore him at all, and he had already entered the house without hurrying.
Ah Chu stared at Hu Pengcheng's swollen face curiously for a long time, and was dragged into the study by Xu You.
Hu Pengcheng stood alone in the courtyard for a long time, and no one came to greet him, he felt very bored, and secretly scolded the family for being so rude, so he refused to move angrily, and stubbornly pestle in the yard. Seeing that it was getting dark, and still no one came to take care of him, Hu Pengcheng ran out of options, gritted his teeth, and rushed into the study angrily.
The author has something to say: something happened and he was in a bad mood......
