Chapter Forty-Six: Feng Da Xiucai
The basket of delicious food that Feng Jin brought back can't dilute Old Man Feng's disappointment, what he wants is for the two capable granddaughters of Jinxiu and Jinyu to return to the Feng family!
Outside the house, the women and children of the Feng family were squeaking and chattering while eating the white-flour nest brought back by Feng Jin, and Liu kept asking his younger siblings and children why they didn't come home to visit the sick old man? Although the uncle is a two-room uncle, the old man is the uncle's father, could it be that Feng Yuwen and Feng Yujiao were not born to the uncle? Xiao Liang is the daughter-in-law of the second room, shouldn't he serve the old man of the big house?
was picked up by the Liu family like this, Feng Zaohua, Feng Taohua, and Feng Liuhua sisters followed the number of Xiao Liang's not coming, and Feng Liang simply stood in the courtyard, clapped his palms and scolded Xiao Liang's for being ungrateful, crossing the Yellow River and throwing crutches......
Feng Jin had no choice but to touch the only four or five silver horns left in his sleeve pocket, leaving one and giving the rest to Feng Liang, saying that he was buying something delicious for his father, and finally made Feng Liang stop scolding for the time being.
Feng Jin was so annoyed, he had just been angry with the Tian family's mother and daughter, and when he came back, he had to face the messy Feng family, and he didn't want to stay any longer!
With the broth that was served, he ate two white flour nests indiscriminately, and told Old Man Feng that the Acoustic Hall urged him to go back to teach, and he didn't wait for Old Man Feng to agree, so he hurriedly went out and left Dongshan Village on foot!
He was afraid that if he was one step later, he would be chased by Feng Liang's screams, the second Feng Gui died, he is now the only son of the Feng family, his father left home when he was still sick, and it was rumored by the neighbors to go out, which is not a good thing!
His identity is different now, Xiucai, he will go out to earn fame next fall!
My mind suddenly echoed what Liu said just now: Do you still think that there is a Tian family in this family? The Tian family is naturally capable, but the people have left early, and they won't do anything about your little long roof!
Feng Jin felt a little sour in his heart: That's right, he used to be the backbone of the big house and the small long house, and he had a wife and daughter, but now, the Tian family is gone, the daughter is gone, and the little long house is nothing!
How did it get to this point? What did my father think? actually listened to the provocation of Feng Liang's stupid woman, let herself reconcile with the Tian family, and drove her daughter out of the Feng family!
The field in the afternoon was empty and desolate, the autumn wind was as tight as a gust, blowing on the face with a slight pain, Feng Jin walked alone on the road, slowly recalling the situation when Tian was in the Feng family: For so many years, Tian took his daughters to support the small long house, and the Feng family has never been so chaotic as now, and there is something at home, Tian is worried about it, and he doesn't need to be busy at all, he hurriedly ran back to take care of it!
Feng Jin closed his eyes and began to feel heartache for his empty nest in the small long room, and he also regretted leaving his wife and daughter on impulse!
Feng Daxiucai sighed while walking, and walked to Fangshi Town with a little frustration and resentment, he didn't want to go to the town market to shop, he just walked straight to Nanxi Village along the road outside the town, but met Feng Zaohua's husband Tietou at the entrance of the town.
Coincidentally, Uncle Tie has had good fortune in the past two days, and he has won a few small coins in each game in the gambling house, and he is planning to go to the tavern to order two dishes and two glasses, and when he sees that this is the eldest brother, he immediately pulled Feng Jin enthusiastically, and wanted to invite the eldest brother to drink. But today he was not feeling well, he really wanted to drink two glasses of wine to dispel his depression, and he couldn't find other confidants and friends in a hurry, so Tietou was a person he knew, so he followed.
But unexpectedly, this drink, drank until the sun set, the amount of wine in the iron head was better than Feng Jin, and he drank more, but he got drunk first, muttering that he wanted to go to the thatched house, and he would not come back this time, and he was afraid that he would fall into the thatched pit.
The tavern guy only asked Feng Jin for the wine, but Feng Jin was angry and annoyed, so he had to take out the only silver horn in the sleeve cage and pay for the wine.
In this way, there is no money to hire an ox cart to go back to Nanxi Village, Feng Jin is drunk, stumbling in the twilight, the autumn wind at night is getting colder and stronger, blowing Feng Jin shivering, when crossing the stone bridge, he didn't hold it, he let the wind staggered a few steps, planted the stone bridge, and fell into the river!
It was also Feng Jin's fate, and it happened that the old well for drinking water in a nearby village was by the river, and a young man came to fetch water and saw him planted from the bridge, so he guarded him out of the water, and then stretched out his flat pole to him and pulled him ashore.
His life was not lost, but Feng Jin was frightened, and let the cold river water soak for a long time, and when he returned to Nanxi Village, he fell ill.
This illness still can't get out of bed for half a month, fifty or sixty schoolchildren in Nanxi Village School naturally can't follow him so much, the school hall also invited Mr. to teach, that gentleman also dragged his family to bring his mouth, since Feng Jin can no longer teach, he is embarrassed to continue to stay in Nanxi Village to occupy the place, accepted the five taels of silver and some medicinal supplements from the village chief of Nanxi Village, and said goodbye and returned to his hometown, the village chief specially prepared a carriage for them, and sent their family of four back to Dongshan Village.
Old man Feng was sick at this time, and was sitting in the yard weaving baskets, Meng Keli heard that the eldest son's family had returned to the village, thinking that he was coming back to visit him, his heart was happy, and he hurriedly ran out of the door to greet him, but he saw Feng Jin with a cloth towel wrapped around his forehead, his lips were scorched and his face was dry and withered, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and then listened to Xiao Liang's tearful story that his husband had been sick for more than half a month, so he also lost the errand of the Nanxi Village School, and now he had to go home and slowly raise it.
Not to mention how Old Man Feng felt sorry for his son and regretted the errand of the school, Feng Liang's mother and daughter heard that Feng Jin's family of four was going home to live for a long time, so they all put on their faces first.
Feng Jin is now the only son of the Feng family, he has a reputation for showing talent, Xiaoliang's is not Tian's, he can endure hardships and suffer grievances, the pampered Feng Yuwen and Feng Yujiao are even more unlikely to be like Jinyu Jinyun can call and drink, their family of four is precious in the eyes of Old Man Feng, there is no doubt that they want to enjoy good treatment, and they naturally live in a tiled house - the main house West House, two large rooms inside and outside, divided into two bedrooms, husband and wife sleep in one bedroom, children are still young, a total of one bedroom; Outside is Feng Jin's study and the living room of a family of four.
After many years of being away, in addition to saving forty or fifty taels of private silver, the couple also bought some very good household utensils, satin quilts and cotton clothes, which were laid out in the room by Xiao Liang one by one, which immediately stimulated Feng Liang and the others!
Xiao Liang is not afraid of Feng Liang's snatching things in her room, she has the courage to put it out, because she doesn't want her pampered children to be wronged, and she is also psychologically prepared, Feng Liang's dare to rob it, she dares to block back, and she is strong as a mother, she is also a woman from the Liang family, she knows Lao Liang, and she is not afraid of Lao Liang!
As for the Liu family, Feng Taohua, and Liu Hua sisters, she didn't pay attention to it!
After settling down, Feng Zaohua and Old Man Feng and Feng Liang suggested that they should cook a delicious meal to celebrate the reunion of the whole family.
Old Man Feng agreed happily, but Feng Liang screamed: "Reunion is reunion, what else is delicious?" That's got to have a wow! Who doesn't know what's going on in our family now? This year, there was a drought, the autumn grain was confiscated, the summer grain was taxed and the oil and salt were changed, and the remaining bags of grain were already eaten up, and it was very good to get two cabbage stewed and drunk in the vegetable garden! ”
Although it is a tiled house, but the Feng family's tiled houses have existed for sixty or seventy years, and there must be a lot of cracked tiles on the roof, otherwise there will not be many small holes to penetrate the light, and the mud wall also has cracks, no matter how skillful Xiao Liang's hand is, she can't paste the wall with the paper written by Feng Jin's father and son, and she can't paste it all for half a day, therefore, Feng Liang's penetrating sharp voice echoed in the West House without any scruples, and Feng Jin frowned when he heard it.
A pair of children even covered their ears with their hands, Feng Yuwen shouted that we should move away quickly, Feng Yujiao had tears in her eyes, and said in a coquettish voice:
"Mother, I don't want to eat mush! I want to eat white rice porridge, I want to eat white noodles and meat buns! ”
Xiao Liang hugged his daughter in distress and whispered comfort, looking at Feng Jin with teary eyes:
"Husband, you have to take medicine and take care of your body, let's take the child and leave! It's okay for adults to suffer hardships and grievances, but children are innocent, growing up in such an environment, no matter how good a child is, they will grow crooked! ”
Feng Jin was lying on the bed, comforting his wife and daughter weakly, but the image of the three splendid sisters appeared in his mind for no reason.
The three sisters grew up in such an environment, they still live in a thatched house in the West Chamber, how much suffering should they have suffered and how many grievances they have endured?
