Chapter 42: Thoughts

Futu entered the courtyard and was about to quietly enter the house, when he was caught by the Fu Tang clan who came out of the house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fu Tang gave Futu a slap with his hand, Futu's head was off, the slap fell on the back, and the angry Fu Tang scolded angrily: "Dead boy, where did you go to the wilderness, you know how to run out all day long, and you don't know how to go to the mountains to catch two wild animals and come back to make up for your father." ”

"Mother, I almost couldn't get out of the mountain last time I went into the mountain alone, you still want me to go, do you really want me to die in the mountain before you can rest assured" Futu heard this, and straightened his neck and bumped back.

"It's just right in the dead mountain, and I also save rations, so as not to eat too much when I don't go home all day long." Fu Tang was angry and shouted without words.

Fu Tang's family doesn't care if the mountains are as dangerous as the village rumores, she only knows that her family has seen meat in the two days of the New Year, not to mention that there are also weak and sick Futu fathers who will need good things to make up for their bodies, and the family is poor and white, where will the money come from? I also expect Futu to get some fish and shrimp back from time to time, and the wild meat that Futu brought back from the mountains last time really improved the family's food for a while.

As soon as I thought of the frail and sickly husband, after tossing for the past few months, he still looked like he was about to lose his breath, and he didn't fight anymore, his son couldn't help it, and his daughter became her ready-made punching bag, and after a glance, she didn't see the shadow of Erya, and she crossed her waist and began to scold and open:

"Dead girl, where are you hiding, the snow in the yard is not swept away, you know to be lazy, don't want to eat at noon."

As soon as she heard the old lady howling, the rich second girl bent her shoulders and came out of the firewood shed with a broom taller than her.

Futu looked at the little girl who came out with a broom, thin and weak, with patches and patches on her shabby little cotton jacket, and a few small holes revealing the black old cotton inside.

He looked at the lifeless little face, and he almost never saw her smile, and he bowed his head and wept in his mother's beating and scolding all day long.

Thinking about the same little girl, my sister seems to be the same year as Yujiao, and she should be seven years old in the spring. But looking at other people, although she is left outside, she is still white and tender, the flesh is whirring, and her little face is smiling all day long, so I have never seen her worried. Especially when I think of Yujiao wearing the new clothes during the New Year, it is exactly the same as the good wealth virgin in the New Year's painting. How can he be like his sister, he is either beaten or scolded all day long, he questioned his mother's attitude towards his sister for the first time, and said to his mother very seriously:

"Mother, my sister is your own child, don't always beat and scold her, she works all day and night, and she can't eat, how do you let him grow up? Whose girls in the village live like their sisters? Even Yujiao, although people are not by her father's side, she is not as hard as a cow and a horse like her sister. ”

Fu Erya looked up at her brother, and continued to bow her head and sweep the floor expressionlessly.

In her memory, her brother spoke for her for the first time in front of her mother, what happened? My brother has always been the overlord of the family, and even my mother can't control him, is this evil or convulsive today?

Ever since she can remember, she has been her mother's punching bag, and she is used to beating and scolding.

When I was a child, I thought that it would be good to grow up, but now that she is seven years old, her mother has not changed her opinion of her because she is older.

On the contrary, the older she gets, the more work she has to do, or she will be beaten and starved.

She never dared to complain, because this was her life, who told her to be reincarnated into such a mother's belly.

Fu Tang stood by the door, watching his son speak for his sister for the first time, and he was a little surprised, that is, he was stunned.

She turned her head to look at her daughter who was sweeping the floor, the corners of her mouth twitched, she didn't take it seriously, and said strangely:

"Yo, I've grown up, I've got the ability, and I feel sorry for your sister? The old lady fought hard for half her life to give birth to her and let her do some work, who told her to be reincarnated when she didn't pick it well, the belly of the rich wife's family didn't go to toss the old lady, beat her and scolded him, she was born by the old lady, even if she sold her, no one can say anything. Dead girl, hurry up, don't want to eat at noon if the snow in the yard is not cleaned, one or two have long skills. ”

With that, the sturdy body twisted, turned and went into the kitchen.

Futu was originally happy because of Yujiao's return to the village, but at this time, because of her mother's reprimand, she was depressed again. He took another broom and quietly swept the snow in the yard with his sister.

That's why Futu doesn't want to stay at home. Dad has been in bed for more than half a year, sighing all day long, my mother scolds and scolds all day long, and my sister is lifeless and doesn't say a word.

In the past, when the family was not busy, I ran out, sometimes went down to the river to fish, sometimes went up to the tree to dig a bird's nest, sometimes dug a mouse hole, and from time to time I could always bring something to add some food to the table, and my mother would scold a few words and pass.

But in the past two months, he has been staying with Yujiao all day long, and he is used to the pleasant and harmonious way of getting along with Grandpa Qu's family, which makes him more and more impatient to stay in this depressing home.

He thought that it would be nice if he could live with Grandpa Qu and Yujiao.

As everyone knows, the ideas that arose at this time, as he grew up year by year, took root in his heart and slowly became stronger and stronger.

************

The next day, some villagers saw that Mr. Qu, who had a rare time entering the village, went to the village chief's house, and then the news came that Mr. Qu wanted to buy land.

Dongshan Village, which was idly waiting for the beginning of spring, suddenly exploded.

"Old man Qu wants to buy land? Which old man Qu? ”

"Which old man Qu is there? Just the weird old man who lives alone in the east of the village! ”

"He? Isn't he an old hunter, a childless and daughterless backer, why does he still think of buying land when he is old, how much does he want to buy? ”

"It is said that it is four or five acres of dry land,"

"That's more than 20 taels of silver, how can he, a poor old man who makes a living by hunting, get so much money."

"Who knows? I heard that the little girl he picked up from the mountains didn't go to the capital to join her relatives a few days ago, but she didn't find anyone, so she brought it back and planned to stay as a granddaughter to raise. That's why I thought about buying a few acres of land to have a fixed yield. ”

"The little girl who said she was like a jade doll? Is the old man really ready to adopt? I said he was almost sixty years old, so why do you have all those idle things? ”

"Who knows, I can't see that this strange old man has a good heart. This land purchase should also be for the little girl."

"What's good-hearted, it's purely to find guilt, who knows when the little girl will leave. Besides, if the white-eyed wolf is raised, he will roll up his coffin book and run away. When the time comes, it will be up to him to reason with whom."

"The little girl is not, I saw it in a flash when I passed by the old man's door, and she is indeed a good girl, white and clean, smiling, and very festive."

"Festive? It's not that the old man has money and nowhere to spend, I heard that the New Year's clothes he bought for the little girl are better than the village chief's Bilian's. Isn't there money to burn?"

No matter what the village was talking about, Old Man Qu came out of the village chief's house with his hands behind his back, and walked steadily back to Zhang De's family in the snow.

The village chief said that the Zhang family had rumors that there was land to be sold a few years ago, because no one in the village proposed to buy land, and it was the end of the year, everyone's focus was on preparing for the New Year, and I didn't hear whether the land was sold, so you can go and inquire.
