Chapter 100: The Lost Child (Part 3)
Three more to seek pink.
******
That night, the gongs and drums in Quanshui Village were noisy until midnight.
When the cuckoo returned home, the rhythm of gongs and drums echoed in his sleep.
After Feng Mingying got married, the cuckoo's life was really much better, not to mention the food and clothing, her newly married daughter-in-law didn't like to gossip with those mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, so she often spent time with the yellow finch cuckoo to teach their sisters needlework, cooking and so on.
At the same time, in his spare time, Ren Sanhe also began to teach cuckoo to read and write.
Miss Du has a bright talent in this life, coupled with the advantage of the memory of her previous life, and her academic progress is so rapid that Ren Sanhe is shocked.
And Du Juan also found an excuse to teach Lin Chun and Jiu'er.
The book was brought by Ren Sanhe, paper and pen, the Lin family already has it.
Needless to say, Lin Chun is very talented, and he is very willing to be with the cuckoo, so he can learn anything; Jiu'er is worse, not because he is not smart, but because he has a bold and unrestrained temperament, and he doesn't like to sit quietly and study.
But Du Juan is good at teaching them according to their aptitude, using interesting stories such as "Journey to the West" to instill in them the principles of life, and with the help of "Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", etc., to explain various resourceful decisions.
While telling the stories they love to hear, they intersperse the Four Books and Five Classics, such as the Analects, for them to memorize and learn. Day after day, year after year, Jiu'er actually learned decently.
The purpose of the cuckoo's teaching to these two children is not to ask them to be able to write well to take the exam, or to write a good hand, or to compose poems and lyrics, but to increase their knowledge. Broaden their hearts and nurture their spirituality. Guide and deepen the shaping of their unique character.
Apparently, she succeeded.
Lin Chun was implicit. Very assertive and methodical; Jiu'er is bold and upright, but he is thick and fine, and he does not lose his wit, and the two are completely different from other children in Quanshui Village.
In this way, spring goes to autumn, time flies, and five years have passed in a blink of an eye.
During this period, there are two things to explain.
First, in the first month of the year when Du Juan was five years old, she went to Lishugou Village with her grandmother.
It was the cuckoo herself who agreed to go, and she wanted to find out what her grandmother wanted to do. So he went on this trip; Then Ren Sanhe also explained, let her just go, he also wanted to find out the inside story.
The cuckoo went with confidence, and Huang Que'er, Xiaobao, and Da Niu all went.
The group stayed in Lishugou Village for five days and did not see anything unusual.
However, on the morning of leaving, the cuckoo was left behind.
When she found out, she screamed again.
Her howls echoed throughout the pear tree ditch, and there was no tendency to weaken.
The people of the aunt's grandmother's house only care about coaxing. but refused to send her back.
And she cried all the time, and cried for a day and a night.
It wasn't until the early hours of the next morning that I rested, and then. She quietly came out of the house while her relatives were asleep.
Sure enough, Ren Sanhe was waiting outside.
Thereupon. She was taken away.
This time, he was gone for three days.
The Huang family was once again turned upside down.
Feng Shi and Huang Laoshi were accompanied by Feng Mingying and Ren Sanhe. I went to Lishugou Village to find my uncle and grandmother.
Feng Shi splashed and rolled again, and Ren Sanhe wanted to burn down the house of his uncle and grandmother. Feng Mingying forced Father Huang and Aunt Huang to ask why they left Du Juan alone.
Aunt Huang said that it was the cuckoo who wanted to stay and play for a few more days.
The yellow finch is older, and has been influenced by the cuckoo, and has become bolder; This time her sister's disappearance made her hateful, so she revealed that her sister didn't say that she wanted to stay and play, and that her grandmother and aunt sneaked away and left her sister.
When she left, she didn't see her sister and asked them.
They coaxed her to say that her sister was still asleep, so the second uncle walked in front with his back. Later, he told her that her sister wanted to play at her aunt's grandmother's house for a few more days, but she was afraid that Xiaobao would make trouble, so she coaxed her to say that her second uncle was carrying it.
Ren Sanhe also learned from the population of Lishugou Village that the cuckoo cried for a whole day and a night, and looked at Father Huang and the eldest uncle's family as if he wanted to kill someone.
However, no matter how they were pressed, Daddy Huang and the others didn't say why they left the cuckoo.
The granddaughter is gone, and it will be more difficult to offend the Lin family by telling the truth.
There was a disturbance here, Ren Sanhe and Lin Dameng organized people from the two mountain villages to go up the mountain and look for it along the mountain road between the two villages.
I searched for three days but there was no trace.
The fourth day was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, early in the morning, the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law of Quanshui Village went to the temple of Yu Niangniang to offer incense, but found that the cuckoo was lying behind the statue of the mermaid Niangniang and fell asleep.
At this point, people were shocked.
When the Huang family got the letter and rushed over, Du Juan did not admit her mistake as she did three years ago, she looked at Father Huang and Aunt Huang without saying a word, her eyes were clear, and the meaning was inexplicable.
No matter how people asked, she didn't say anything, and she didn't say how she came to Niangniang Temple in Quanshui Village from Lishugou Village.
Father Huang and Aunt Huang were shocked and frightened, angry and hateful.
They looked at this little granddaughter, their hands and feet trembled, and their organs were restless.
That night, Huang Damiang knelt in front of the statue of the mermaid Niangniang in the Niangniang Temple for the night.
After that, she no longer dared to force the cuckoo.
Although Father Huang gritted his teeth and didn't say anything about his intentions against the cuckoo, Ren Sanhe guessed it, and from then on, the eyes of that family were like looking at dead people.
The Lin family also guessed a few points.
When Lin Li saw Daddy Huang, his expression was pale; Lin Datou even pointed to Sang scolding Huaidi several times, and said in front of the villagers that the second elder of the Huang family was not a thing.
Father Huang and Aunt Huang were trembling with anger, and they didn't dare to distinguish from others.
In addition to this incident, Feng gave birth to another daughter that year, but his younger daughter-in-law Feng Gu followed and gave birth to another son.
There is no doubt that the in-laws are disappointed, but they also have a bad face for her.
In addition, Feng Mingying got married, and he was very affectionate with Ren Sanhe, and everything went well, but there was only one thing, that is, she had not been happy for many years, and Aunt Huang said everywhere that the daughter of the Feng family could not raise a (male) baby.
Not to mention, because the cuckoo is a bird because of the "finch" and "cuckoo", she teased in front of her father and mother, and her uncle taught her a poem "Two yellow orioles sing green willows, and a line of egrets go to the sky." "I want to name my little sister "Yellow Bird".
Huang Laoshi and Feng Shi were in awe when they heard this. Don't dare to have a second word.
So, the little girl of the Huang family is named Huang Li.
The little yellow bird inherited Feng's pungent temperament. Extremely powerful; and under the guidance of the cuckoo day and night and his words and deeds, he has cultivated a shrewd mind. Compared with the cuckoo, it is more "blue out of blue and better than blue".
In fact, Du Juan can't be considered powerful at all, she just has more knowledge and experience in her previous life than others, but her nature is simple and casual and unrestrained.
However, this does not prevent her from teaching her aptitude and teaching her little sister shrewdly.
In the mouth of the little yellow bird, her family is poor, and she has always relied on her aunt's family to get by. The things they gave to their grandmother were all saved between their teeth, and her father and mother were as tired as cows every day, and she and her two sisters got up early and worked greedily at night...... Wait, wait.
As soon as the cuckoo heard her small mouth, she and the yellow finch bowed their heads and laughed, or walked away, because there was no room for them to interject anymore.
Huang Li is not only shrewd, but also stingy.
It's harder to get something out of her hand than it is to climb to the sky.
Du Juan felt that she was not like the daughter of the Huang family. It's like the girl in Lin Datou next door.
This year, Huang Que was eleven years old, Huang Cuckoo was eight years old, and Huang Li was five years old.
Nurtured by green mountains and clear waters. Under the influence of the windy day, the three sisters of the Huang family have their own characteristics.
Huang Queer's complexion is slightly dark, and her figure is gradually revealed. It's already a little girl's look. The cuckoo helped her comb her double bun with curved eyebrows and almond eyes. The delicate and small nose looks very quiet and delicate at first glance. If you smile and show that little tiger tooth, you will immediately become playful and smart.
And cuckoos don't tan.
Because she especially likes to go up and down the fields, her untanned complexion has lost the porcelain white and delicate when she was a child, and has become firm and smooth, showing milky white, somewhat like milk tea.
As for the appearance, he has an oval face, green eyebrows, clear eyes, a straight nose, and lips as delicate as peach blossoms. When it is quiet, it is like a deep pool, and when you laugh, it is like a spring breeze. Even if you wear a cloth dress and a thick skirt all day long, you can't hide the brilliant brilliance.
The most outstanding thing about her is not her looks, but her smile.
Every time I smile, the people who see it can't help but be attracted. Although I love the beauty, I can't bear to blaspheme and hurt.
As for Huang Li, the five-year-old little girl, in addition to being cute, she is still cute.
The three daughters of the Huang family are the three recognized flowers in Quanshui Village.
In fact, the yellow finch and the yellow bird are not very beautiful, maybe it is related to the words and deeds of the cuckoo, and the words and deeds of the sisters are very different from the girls in the village, so people praise them more.
On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month of this year, my grandfather Feng Changshun came into the mountain and brought a piece of news.
The cuckoo was simply stunned and could no longer maintain his calm.
Feng Changshun came to deliver New Year's goods, and went to the little girl's house first as usual.
Feng Mingying stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted to the front: "Sparrow, cuckoo, yellow bird, grandpa is here!" ”
Feng Shi hurriedly rushed over with his three daughters.
Huang Laoshi was not at home, he followed Ren Sanhe into the mountains to hunt.
Although he doesn't know how to hunt, even if he helps carry game, he will be able to eat it more confidently.
Feng Changshun came to Quanshui Village, and most of them ate at the little girl's house. First, I don't want to go to the eldest son-in-law's house, so I don't have to meet my in-laws and provoke those two old people to gossip; The second is that the little son-in-law's family is indeed much more well-off, and he doesn't care about eating and drinking.
This time it was the same, Feng Mingying left her eldest sister and niece to have dinner.
After deciding on it, she dragged the yellow finch to the kitchen.
Feng Changshun greeted Feng, divided the New Year's goods he brought into two parts, gave one of them to Feng, and personally helped her send her home.
The cuckoo and the yellow bird followed behind them, but Feng Changshun told them to go to the kitchen to help the aunt, and they would come over later.
However, this time, it is a bit long.
The cuckoo was wondering, and it happened that the aunt said that her hot sauce was more delicious, and asked her to go home and scoop some, so she went back with the bowl.
When I entered the courtyard, I didn't see anyone, and there was a low voice from my father's room in the east.
She didn't care, she went to the kitchen to scoop some sauce before going to the main room. As soon as he was about to call someone, he heard the words coming from the next room, and he immediately froze.
"They all say that the nephew is like an uncle, so I guess it's not the one you lost. I'll ask your mother in every possible way. Although the Yang family didn't say that this son was picked up, I heard that he was not born at home, but his grandmother gave birth to it in Zhuangzi and brought it over. It's hard to say......"
"Dad, don't get me wrong. You can ask the eldest brother, if he is outside......"
"Nonsense! Who are the people who can catch up with your eldest brother? I also asked your eldest brother, there is nothing at all. I want to come and go, it can only be yours. Otherwise, can it be so similar to when Xingye was a child? How can it be such a coincidence. ”
"I'll take a look! I'm going to take a look! ”
Listening to Feng's incoherent voice in the room, Du Juan also felt that he was about to faint, and his chest was filled with great joy.
If what Grandpa said was true, and that person was really the lost child of his adoptive mother Feng, then he was likely to be Li Dun.
She took a deep breath and resolutely thought that she must go out of the mountains. (To be continued......)
PS: Huh - on the first day of May, the wilderness did your best, did you do your best?
I originally wanted to pass it later, but I was delayed in the background for a long time this morning, and I didn't want to make you wait any longer, so I passed it up earlier, so that everyone could watch it, wash and sleep......
