21. Blow away the gloomy clouds
Because they were selling smuggled goods, the grandfather and grandson were still a little nervous. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The return trip is fast.
The fifth master is an old man in the end. The salt of this cart was transported to Shaxi County in the dark, and in less than three watches, the fifth master led the two of them to pick up the goods. One of these two is an old man. But few people who have been to Shaxi County do not know him. It was not far from the city gate to open a bun shop. surnamed Yan, they all call him Old Man Yan. It's a very humble person. Cheng Linghui never thought that the person the fifth master was looking for turned out to be him.
The other is a man in his prime, in his thirties. He is tall and big. Cheng Linghui didn't know him.
Old man Yan saw Cheng Linghui, who stayed in place to watch the car, and asked the fifth master: "Brother, is this your grandson?" ā
The fifth master nodded, and said proudly: "It's not my fifth, can it still be yours?" ā
Old man Yan squinted at Cheng Linghui: "Brother, it's not me talking about you." You shouldn't be taking a child with you in this business. ā
The fifth master was not happy: "What? You can't believe in half a lifetime of friendship? ā
Old man Yan gestured to his neck: "Let's make money with our heads in this business." You bring a child, in case there is a case, why don't you take all of us in? It's not that the fifth master doesn't know about the things on the road. His tone was already cold.
When the fifth master heard this, he smiled: "You just have to put your heart in your stomach." I guarantee it with a head. My grandson's insurance is safer than your grandchildren's. ā
Old man Yan also smiled: "With the words of my brother, I have to rest assured if I don't worry." Looking at Cheng Linghui's eyes, his eyes were still cold.
Cheng Linghui is not a fool, so he can naturally hear what he says. Wait for the old man Yan to leave with the cart of salt. Cheng Linghui completely lost the joy of making money. asked, "Fifth Master, who is that old man?" ā
The fifth master sighed and replied to the question: "The fifth master regrets it, he shouldn't have brought you to this road." ā
Cheng Linghui said: "What do you regret? In this life, it is a job. Which path is not the same? ā
The fifth master said: "Nier, you are still young. I don't know what it's called being involuntarily. The fifth master still said the same thing, although we are on this road, we are only for money. If you see the things of the side, you should not see them. Don't ask anything. ā
Cheng Linghui nodded and said, "Fifth Master, I won't ask anymore." Let's just make money and live our own lives. ā
The fifth master nodded: "That's right." ā
The grandfather and grandson returned to the West Field House. Cheng Linghui divided the money she earned into two parts, and pushed the more to the fifth master: "Master, this is yours." ā
The fifth master pushed the money back: "I'm an old man with a burying neck, what do you want money for?" Bite? The fifth master can't move in the future, you don't care about the fifth master? ā
Cheng Linghui immediately put all the money into her arms: "Let you, are you still serious?" ā
The fifth master bent his index finger and middle finger and knocked on Cheng Linghui's head, and said with a smile: "You ghost girl." ā
Cheng Linghui said: "What do you want to eat?" When the morning dawns, I will go to Zhuanshui City to get medicine for my mother, and buy it for you by the way. ā
The fifth master glared and said, "What are you eating?" There are no grains to feed people. I don't want to eat anything, I just like the bran cake with cold water. ā
Cheng Linghui knew that this was the fifth master who was afraid that he would spend money indiscriminately, and said: "Come on, you, the bran vegetables are still kept to feed the pigs." Didn't give you something to eat. ā
The grandfather and grandson talked for a while, and Cheng Linghui's heart fell into the cavity after returning from a certain west. It's almost dawn. She said goodbye to the fifth master and went to Zhuanshui City. When I arrived at Zhuanshui City, the sky had just dawned. It took a while for the gates to open.
Cheng Linghui went to the wonton burden to drink a bowl of wontons and ate two fritters. Only then did I go to the pharmacy and grab medicine for my mother. passed by the cloth shop and pulled a few feet of flower cloth for each of the two girls. I went to the cooked butcher shop and bought two servings of pig's head meat, and I also went to the side to buy two jars of wine. One for grandpa, one for five masters.
I rushed back with a big bag and a small bag, and I didn't sleep all night and didn't feel thirsty. As soon as I entered the village, I felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. When I arrived at the door of my house, it was already half noon, but the door of my house was still closed. Immediately, my heart became nervous. One step up the stairs and slammed the door hard: "Master, I'm back." ā
I only heard the voice of the grandfather in the courtyard: "It's coming." Stop shooting. ā
Cheng Linghui's heart was relieved a little. Grandpa opened the door, let her in, and hurriedly closed them. As if afraid of something coming in. Cheng Linghui asked, "Something happened at home?" ā
Grandpa said, "No." ā
But he was obviously preoccupied.
Cheng Linghui threw the things in his hand on the ground and ran to the upper room first. Seeing my grandmother sitting on the kang and closing the threads (combining the spun single strands into two or several strands), I hurriedly turned to the east house where my mother and sister lived. After the death of the eldest sister, the two sisters moved in from Westinghouse to live with their parents. Seeing that her mother and two sisters were fine, Cheng Linghui's heart was completely let go.
Go back to the yard and bring what you bought into the house. gave the medicine and flower cloth to the fourth sister, and the pig's head meat and wine to the grandfather. The family didn't look happy at all. Cheng Linghui suddenly thought of her father: "My father ......"
Grandma took a sip: "Don't talk nonsense." It's good that your father doesn't believe it. ā
Cheng Linghui was puzzled: "Then what are you doing here?" What do you look like? ā
Grandpa stopped talking and looked at grandma. Grandma has bad eyes and doesn't know that grandpa is looking at her. The mother lowered her head and shrank herself in a corner. Cheng Linghui looked at the fourth sister: "Sister, you say." ā
The fourth sister said: "The mountain chief of Gusu Academy has committed an accident. Captured by officers and soldiers. The seowon was also sealed. The mountain chief's family and his daughter ran away overnight. ā
When Cheng Linghui heard this, she also chuckled in her heart, and she was very worried about the mountain chief's family. But I thought about it: "What does that have to do with our family?" ā
The fifth sister is small after all, and she said quickly: "Grandma hid the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law of the mountain chief in our house." The mother reached out to hit her, but she was done.
"Huh?" Cheng Linghui couldn't react.
Grandma said, "Ah, what? You were able to go to school in the first place thanks to the daughter-in-law of the mountain chief who interceded with the mountain chief. As the old saying goes, 'A teacher for one day, a father for life.'" 'The mountain chief is your master, and her daughter-in-law is your master. Shi Niang is also a mother. How can you see death without help? ā
Cheng Linghui said: "Where did you hide them?" ā
The fifth sister said without thinking: "Westinghouse." ā
Cheng Linghui hurried to the Westinghouse. The sound of the door opening frightened the mother and daughter in the house and curled up in the corner of the kang all of a sudden.
"Master, Xiuwen, it's me." Cheng Linghui felt unspeakably sad in her heart. The woman with the graceful temperament was now shrunk in a corner like a frightened bird, holding her daughter tightly in her arms.
"Silence." Xiuwen saw that it was her, and suddenly pounced, hugged her and cried.
Cheng Linghui unconsciously patted her on the back: "It's okay." There's me. ā
Xiuwen cried. A large family sat around and sighed. Officers and soldiers are searching for the mother and daughter. Almost every village in Shaxi County has students who have attended Gusu Academy. Every student's family is suspicious. For the time being, I can't find Chengjiazhuang. But after a long time, you can always find here.
"That ......" Shi Niang suddenly raised her head and looked at Cheng Linghui.
Grandma said, "If you pay attention to it, say it quickly." ā
Shi Niang said: "When Mo Zhi was studying in the academy, except for a few children in Chengjiazhuang, no one else knew that she was a girl. It's better to wait for the officers and soldiers to find them, and let Mo Zhi and Xiuwen pretend to be a little couple. Even if they are recognized, they can marry and follow their husbands since ancient times. Even the great crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan did not affect the daughter who married. ā
Grandma hesitated, "Is this okay?" ā
Grandpa thought for a while: "I can only try." You can't push the mother and son out and wait for death. But everyone in the village knows that Sanhui is a girl, how can so many people's mouths be blocked? ā
The master said, "I have a bold idea. There are people in our hometown who are thin, and they are afraid that they will not be able to support a boy after giving birth. Deliberately raised as a girl.ć It's not as good as ......."
Grandma immediately understood: "We also have such a thing here, it's not unusual." But ......" she looked at Cheng Linghui: "Sanhui will be sixteen after the New Year, if it weren't for the drag of the family, it would have been said a long time ago." ā
Cheng Linghui disagreed: "What are you afraid of." Anyway, I didn't plan to get married, so I was filial to you, my grandfather and my mother at home. It's just going to delay Xiuwen. ā
Xiuwen suddenly blushed, bowed her head and said, "What do I have to delay?" ā
Grandma asked her mother, "Daughter-in-law, you are Sanhui's mother." You have an idea. ā
Mother's tears flowed out: "I can't wait for Sanhui to be a boy in the next life." I also have the face to see the ancestors of the Cheng family when I die. ā
Grandma couldn't see her mother's tears, but she also knew that not having a son was her heart disease. Reprimanded: "Talk, talk, what are you pulling those for?" My Sanhui is no worse than those boys. ā
Xiuwen suddenly remembered: "Mother, what should you do?" ā
Shi Niang sighed: "Naturally, I followed you." Your father knew something was going to happen, so he divorced me early in the morning. ā
Xiuwen's eyes were red, and she was about to cry again. Shi Niangqiang smiled: "What are you crying about, it's not true." Wait until your father's business is over. If he ever comes back, we'll be the same as before. ā
Xiuwen said with red eyes: "When the time comes, I have to let my father remarry my mother once." ā
When Shi Niang heard this, a red cloud flew over her white face. The fifth sister shouted: "Xiuwen Niang blushed. ā
The fourth sister couldn't help but laugh. This smile was like a gust of wind blowing away the gloomy clouds that hung over the heads of the whole family.
