Chapter 12: A Man from the Mountains
The Shu family was a little suspicious that it was Wang Yufen, and felt that Wang Yufen deliberately took revenge on the Ji family and caused her to break her appearance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But Shu Ergu doesn't think so, she thinks it's Pan Erniang. (Qinglan: You're wonderful!) )
Because Wang Yufen told Shu Ergu, then Luo Yuniang lives opposite the Gao family, and she can't see Ji Er going in and out all day? Who believes! (Pan Yuanniang: You star, I stare at you every day?) Pan Erniang had already known about it from Pan Yuanniang, but she didn't tell her and let her take precautions, but hid behind her back to watch their jokes. Otherwise, why did Ji Dong run to the west across the courtyard as soon as he came?
No matter what others say, Shu Ergu believed it. Second Aunt Shu came to Shu's house, closed the door with Mrs. Shu, and talked for a while, but no one knew what she said.
The next day, Luo Yuniang led her son, carrying a navy blue baggage, into the door of Ji's house. Since then, Huo Wei changed his name to Ji Wei and became Ji Dong's younger brother.
After the Double Ninth Festival, Lingjiang Pavilion held a staff tea party, the theme of which was: Shopkeeper Zhou should be transferred out of this place and go to the head office in Beijing to go to the bird~ Everyone is very happy for Shopkeeper Zhou, and they have said that they should have a big party at the end of the year to celebrate, and at the same time, they are also in mixed moods, and some of them have been recognized by their superiors for their old leaders, and they are honored; Some of them are also worried about themselves, and they don't know what kind of person and what kind of rules the manager will take over. Shopkeeper Zhou revealed that it was a shopkeeper surnamed Lu, who was about forty years old, transferred from hn, and the person was not bad, but the rules were stricter. When they heard this, they became more and more worried.
Pan Erniang, who returned home, planned to tell Mrs. Shu that she was afraid that she would not be able to bring back the vegetables after the year. But after several drums, more than half a month has passed, and Pan Erniang still hasn't spoken to Mrs. Shu. Recently, Mrs. Shu has been neither yin nor yang to her, and she doesn't go on the pole to get a hot face and stick to other people's cold butts, not to mention, she still goes to say things that are not good for the Shu family. People are really strange animals, originally took it as love, not as duty, but Pan Erniang didn't dare to open her mouth as if she had stolen something from others.
also dared not open his mouth, as well as the Qin family. She received a message from her family that her mother's brother and brother were going to take the child to the county for the exam.
Qin's maiden family is in the southwest of the county seat, mainly in the mountains, surrounded by forest farms, and there is very little farmland. The Qin family is very poor, relying on the mountains and forests to survive. Fortunately, everyone around me is in this situation, and I don't feel too sad. The poor are most afraid of getting sick, if it weren't for her father's death, she wouldn't have come to Weixian County with her father's brother to see a doctor.
At that time, they were received by the reserve doctor who had not yet been released: Shu Xiaoyong. Boss Shu was just a substitute that day, and he was not qualified to treat people in the medical hall. His master saw that the Qin family was dressed in tatters, and knew that they couldn't afford to take medicine, so he asked the apprentice to send them away.
At that time, Boss Shu was still a hot-blooded young man less than 20 years old, and he watched the Qin family begging and crying. Not to mention, the ordinary-looking Qin family cried much better than usual. Boss Shu suddenly felt that he had become a savior of the suffering and rescue, and he should help the Qin family. He led the Qin family to his home, checked the pulse of Old Man Qin, and carefully prescribed the first prescription in his life. didn't even use the Qin family's money, and used the medicinal materials he grew and the medicinal materials in the pharmacy to boil medicine for Old Man Qin.
Not to mention, half a month later, Old Man Qin was actually cured like this.
Old Man Qin was grateful to Dade and insisted on marrying his daughter to Boss Shu.
Old Man Qin's insistence is very shrewd.
First, thank the benefactor, there is nothing to repay, and she promises to herself, of course, it is her daughter's body. As for the medical expenses, they are all family, and it hurts to say this. Second, the son-in-law is a doctor, so he is no longer afraid of getting sick in the future, and the health of his family is guaranteed. Third, although the Shu family is poor, it is better than the Qin family by more than a star and a half, and if the daughter is angry, the Qin family will also have strong foreign aid in the future. No matter what point it is based on, if you give up a daughter, you can get far more than that, why not Old Man Qin?
As a result, the Qin family, who had no long things, became the daughter-in-law of the Shu family. It can be said that she was exchanged for medicine and consultation money by Boss Shu.
After marriage, the Qin family was angry and gave birth to three sons in a row. Then, the Qin family began to reach out to the Qin family to ask for money.
In the beginning, it was given once three times. On the one hand, it is the face of Old Man Shu and Boss Shu, and on the other hand, it is for the sake of Dalang's affection, but he can't stand Old Man Qin's good show, and the Qin family is indeed poor, and the number of times he opens his hand is increasing. Later, it was given once out of ten. The Qin family also wants to be embarrassed, and many times although her father opened his mouth, she didn't tell the Shu family at all that she hid it. After that, Old Man Qin directly found Boss Shu. Boss Shu gradually annoyed the Qin family, his mother's family is like a bottomless pit, and he asks for money every day. Finally once, Boss Shu couldn't help but beat her. There are one and two, as long as the Qin family comes to ask for money, the Qin family will be beaten, beaten, and Mrs. Shu or Boss Shu will give her money if she can't see it, so the cycle repeats.
Relying on the Qin family, the son of the eldest Qin went to study in the school in the town; also relied on the Qin family, Qin Lao Er married his daughter-in-law, a widow at the end of the village.
This widow is sixteen or seventeen years older than Qin Laoer, and when Qin Lao was twenty-six years old, this widow fell in love with the burly Qin Laoer, and also fell in love with the Qin family, which was getting better and better, hooked up with Qin Laoer, and soon became pregnant with his child, and the Qin family had to let her enter the door. (Qinglan: (⊙o⊙) There are actually people who are more scoundrels than Old Man Qin, it's strange~)
No matter how difficult it was to speak, the Qin clan also spoke at the end of dinner.
"Dad, mother, my brother said that he wanted to bring the child to the county for the exam in two days, and my brother also followed, saying that the child had never seen his aunt since the next life, and brought him to the city to see the world."
"Exams? What is the test? "Don't blame Mr. Shu for asking, the entrance exam and the children's test for the county school are in February of the next year, and this time comes...
Sure enough, Qin Shi responded: "I said that I came to learn from Dalang, so I have more confidence." After finishing speaking, he smiled and said to Shu Lao Er: "Besides, isn't there a second uncle, there is a big talent sitting at home, and it is not easy to point out a small exam." "Yo, I'm very well prepared, I even use idioms, I'm afraid it's to stay until Qin!
The Qin clan didn't tell the truth, even Qinglan could see it.
The Qin family came at this time, and it was clear what they had in mind. What to say about learning from Shu Dalang, such a guise is pure nonsense. How old are the eldest grandsons of the Qin family, Da Lang is only a few years old, and he is only half of what he can teach him. The Qin family just listened to the Qin family say that the Shu family burned carbon in the winter, or carbon that didn't need money. How warm it is to burn charcoal, and it is even more freezing to death in the mountains in winter, I heard that the Shu family has married the daughter of the Pan family, the better it is, and the New Year will definitely be able to buy more meat! In short, no matter what, it is better than the life of the Qin family, it is better to go to the Shu family to eat and warm, maybe the Shu family can also help with the county school! So as soon as the brothers and Old Man Qin discussed, they unanimously passed it, and immediately handed a message to Qin.
Old Man Shu frowned, and he also thought of what Qinglan thought of, so his face was ugly, but in front of the juniors, he didn't say anything in the end. Mrs. Shu saw that Old Man Shu didn't speak, she didn't want to, and she didn't dare to agree.
There was silence in front of the dinner table, and the Qin family was in a hurry, so he twisted Shu Dalang. Shu Dalang was in pain, and with tears in his eyes, he said to Old Man Shu that the Qin family had explained his words earlier: "Master, I miss my uncle's cousin, and I also want to meet my cousin." ”
Counting up, the Qin family hasn't been back to their parents' house for five or six years. Her mother's home is far away, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and she can't come back on the second day of junior high school, and Boss Shu's medical hall is on duty for the New Year, so the Qin family can't go back to her parents' house to pay New Year's greetings. What's more, Boss Shu became more and more disgusted with his own Yue family, and felt that the Qin family was like a locust, lying on him and sucking non-stop, so he didn't want his son to have too much contact with other families. Especially Qin Laoer, who slept with a widow who was more than ten years older than him, Shu Lao Da was extremely disdainful. After all, Boss Shu has also read the book of sages, although he didn't get a fame in the exam, but he understands the truth, and he belongs to a more decent person with three views.
Let's not talk about whether to take advantage of the Shu family, let's just talk about this kind of character, Boss Shu will respond when he thinks about it, and that's all there is to the house at home, where to live? In addition, there are two good-looking younger siblings in the yard, so Boss Shu is 100% unwilling. He opened his mouth and said: "Da Lang's Mengxue has not yet understood, and the second brother has no time, so let them come back after the New Year." ”
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed, and Boss Shu is basically the final conclusion of the coffin. The Qin family wanted to say more, but the man of the Shu family didn't give her a chance, and tacitly got up and went back to their respective houses.
Qin's heart was bitter.
But what makes her more bitter is still to come, this time it is not only her suffering, but also the Shu family.
The next morning, after everyone went to work, two men, one tall and one fat, each leading a child, knocked on the door of Shu's house.
Shu Erlang ran out of the main room in the east like a gust of wind, bluffing the old lady Shu who was pulling vegetables. She retreated from Erlang, who was about to open the door, got up and wiped the soil on her hands on the apron tied around her waist, and opened the courtyard door.
It was none other than the protagonists of last night's conversation: Uncle Qin and Second Uncle Qin, as well as their son.
It turned out that there was a snow in the mountains just after they finished their mouths, and Uncle Qin couldn't stand the cold, so he discussed with Second Uncle Qin, yes, come early!
As soon as Mrs. Shu opened the door, she paused for a moment to recognize the two in front of her, next to Uncle Qin and Second Uncle Qin, there was a boy who was about the same height as her, it should be Qin Shuang, the son of Boss Qin, and she was leading a child who was about the same height as Qinglan, who should be Qin Xue, the son of Qin Er.
Old Mrs. Shu asked Erlang to call the Qin family, and led the four of them to the hall, looking at each other as they went.
The more Mrs. Shu looked at it, the more speechless she became. The two adults didn't take anything, wearing a patched clothes that couldn't be washed, holding a hand in their sleeves, and greeting Mrs. Shu with a smile. At this time, you will carry a burden when you go far away, even if you don't have clothes, you always need to pack dry food and underwear. Look at the two children again, the eldest one has a dead hare pinned to his waist, (this rabbit is a gift from the Qin family) with a small cloth bag on his shoulder, and the two children are very buried, and they feel that the clothes have never been taken off after they are put on them.
The Qin family came out quickly, and they were very happy to see their brother and nephew, and several people entered the hall.
Qin hurriedly went to make tea. The tea of the Shu family is graded, the tea sent by the Pan family welcomes the VIPs, the tea sent by Aunt Shu welcomes acquaintances, and the tea residue bought by the old man Shu in a big set is drunk by himself.
Old Lady Shu sat on the main seat and talked to the Qin family with a smile.
"How?" Mrs. Shu asked kindly.
"There are wild goods in the town that are delivered to the county, and a few of us make the cars of the villagers." Uncle Qin replied with a smile.
"How's it going at home? Is the old brother and sister-in-law in good health? Mrs. Shu asked with concern.
"Okay, good," Uncle Qin said a few words in a row.
"Good harvest this year?" Mrs. Shu knew that the land harvest in her hometown was not bad this year.
Before Uncle Qin could answer, Second Uncle Qin interjected: "It's snowing in the mountains, and this year's harvest is not good." Uncle Qin's face was slightly embarrassed.
"Yo, it's snowing so early, so it's not easy for you to go back for the New Year!" Mrs. Shu didn't seem to hear the second sentence, and asked worriedly.
Uncle Qin was immediately a little cramped, Second Uncle Qin smiled, showed his uneven yellow teeth and said: "It's not good to walk, we won't go back for the New Year, when my father comes out, tell us that we must accompany my uncle and aunt to have a good New Year!" also make up for the regret that he can't come to pay New Year's greetings, we don't dare not listen to my father's words! “
Mrs. Shu smiled and said in her heart: I have children and daughters, and I need your descendants to accompany me for the New Year? You have a father and a mother, and the good feeling of the New Year is Pan Heng at my sister-in-law's house? I'm too embarrassed to listen!
was about to speak, but was interrupted by the Qin clan who came with tea, "Brother, brother, you're thirsty, come and drink some water before pulling." “
The brother and sister naturally made love when they met, and Qin's smile brightly. Old Lady Shu glanced at the tea leaves, which were green tea sent by Pan Jiachun.
After a few people drank tea, the Qin family said to Mrs. Shu and took them to their own courtyard.
As soon as they came out of the house, Mrs. Shu's face sank, and she said in her heart: No rudeness!
Wang Yufen was sewing clothes for her son in the West House, and when she heard the movement of several people, she sneered, and she didn't even show her face at all.
Although there are two rooms in the east courtyard, it is far from comparable to the west courtyard. The Qin family didn't have anyone to distribute furniture to her, so there was only one kang in the main room of the East Cross Courtyard, and there was a bed in the hall, which was built by Shu Lao San when he got married, and now Shu Dalang is asleep.
Where do the two big men of the Qin family sleep, this is a question.
Uncle Qin waved his hand, and said indifferently, there are not two Xiazi in the West Cross Courtyard, he and Qin Lao Er sleep in Xiazi, and the two children sleep with Da Lang.
Uncle Qin had already thought about it, although the Shu family's mansion was a sundries, but in order to make food, they built a kang, and Shu Laosan cleaned it up when he got married, which was much better than their house in the mountains.
Throughout the afternoon, Mrs. Shu and the Qin family went in and out to help the two brothers vacate the house. At dinner, Old Man Shu opened a small jar of wine given by others for his birthday, and Second Uncle Qin was overjoyed, and several men drank wine.
Second Uncle Qin, who was dipped in wine, began to grin, and Old Man Shu smiled happily, and people who didn't know thought how enthusiastic he was looking forward to the arrival of the Qin family. Boss Shu doesn't smile when he laughs, he only listens and doesn't speak; Shu Lao Er politely took a sip of the cup and stopped drinking, Sven's food; Shu Laosan is much more sincere, and no one will pay attention to it.
