You Zuming asked his daughter to accompany the guests around the White Horse Station, and on the third day of the Lunar New Year, they went to a Taoist temple in the local scenic spot. The abbot Mo Zhenggan greeted him in person outside the gate, and as soon as he met, he said "with a clear conscience": "There are countless poor Taoist people, and when you see the two of them, they are husband and wife, and they are destined to marry in this life." ”

You Chengyuan turned his face away, but Chi Muduo smiled with a red face: "Uncle Xie Jiyan, this is what I came for." In one sentence, it can be regarded as a clear idea, and the next thing is to push the boat down the river, Mo Daochang really calculated, and the two young people became husband and wife.

In May of that year, on the day of You Chengyuan's wedding, the liveliness of the White Horse Station can be described as vigorous, and the red confetti left by the firecrackers spread from the head of the village to the end of the village, and still floated out of the village entrance two miles away. After getting married, with Chi Mu Duo's economic conditions, he didn't need his wife to go out to work at all, but no matter where he went, even if it was a ruined temple and ancient tomb in the barren mountains and mountains, You Chengyuan would follow him.

Chi Muduo's work unit is the Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, its predecessor is the Henan Provincial Cultural Relics Task Force, the provincial directly under the department-level unit, enjoy the full financial allocation, the formal establishment of 86 people, the following also has jurisdiction over a number of branches. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is an unpopular unit, but it is not easy for non-professional students to squeeze into the formal establishment here.

Later, it was Chi Muduo's mentor Mr. Wu Pingdong's relationship to arrange for You Chengyuan to take a temporary post at an archaeological workstation somewhere under the jurisdiction of the institute, and then seconded to work in the institute, so that it was convenient for her to follow Chi Muduo to investigate and excavate in other places.

The front-line archaeological work sounds very mysterious, but in fact it is very boring and the conditions are very difficult, and it is inevitable that there will be rheumatism, spleen and stomach imbalance and other problems after working for a long time. And You Chengyuan followed her husband around, even the guy who made the soup was with him, and he took care of his life in an orderly manner, and he conditioned his husband's body very well. A year later, Chi Mu Duo was awarded the title of senior director, promoted to deputy director and enjoyed the treatment of the director, in charge of field archaeological investigation and excavation.

The relationship between the couple can be described as like-minded and glue-like. Once You Fang's mouth was owed, and he asked Chi Mu Duo in private: "Brother-in-law, do you think my sister is beautiful?" Chi Mu Duo squinted his eyes and replied, "She is the little fairy in my eyes!" "He is worthy of being an expert in archaeology, and his aesthetic point of view is so distinctive that he can see the Yaksha as a flying sky! You Fang was deeply impressed, and at the same time, he was very grateful to his brother-in-law.

You Fang's mother was frail and sickly, and after her daughter got married, she had a big deal to do, but she soon couldn't hold it anymore and died in the spring of the following year. She has not suffered any sin in marrying into the You family for many years, but with a strong mother-in-law like Mo Sigu, she will be invisibly suppressed in the future, and it is not her turn to call the shots in the big and small affairs of the family, even if she works with her husband and takes care of the children at the same time, she must not feel very comfortable.

My mother is different from the rest of the You family, she is a standard rural woman, hardworking and simple all her life. Just got married, You Zuming's "career" was just starting, and it was the most tiring time, after so many years of hard work, she finally got better, but she didn't enjoy any happiness. You Fang had an indescribable feeling that he felt that this family, including himself, owed his mother. Grandma, father, sister and he are "strong" in all aspects, but his mother is the only one who is particularly weak in this family.

If You Zuming hadn't continued so early, You Fang would still be immersed in the sadness of his mother's departure and had not recovered, and there would have been no conflict between father and son.

Only a year after his mother left, once You Zuming went to Luoyang to run errands for several months, and when he returned home, he took a fairy-like woman named Lan Qing. As soon as his father entered the door, he shouted to You Fang: "Chengcheng, come here, call Aunt Lan!" "Chengcheng is You Fang's nickname at home.

You Fang was seventeen years old at the time, and he was already very mature and sensible, and he could see at a glance that this woman had the kind of relationship with her father. From the bottom of her heart, this Aunt Lan is very beautiful, and she is charming and lovely regardless of her appearance and figure, which just makes You Fang feel a little uncomfortable. And she was too young, she was only twenty-six at the time, and her father was forty-five.

Of course, the major affairs of the family are decided by Fourth Aunt Mo, and You Fang also said bad things about Aunt Lan in front of her grandmother, feeling that she was too incompatible with her father's age. Unexpectedly, Mo Sigu said with a big grin: "If your mother is still there, this woman can also be a little wife in the past." Your father is still in the prime of life, do you want to see him fight like this for the rest of his life? This is your father's ability, worthy of my son, you have to learn more in the future! ”

The words almost didn't choke You Fang, Mo Sigu's attitude was like this, Aunt Lan entered the door naturally, married You Zuming and became You Fang's stepmother.

You Fang always hopes to cause something at home and create some conflicts, such as the stepmother abusing his ex-wife's son, etc., but he has never found any opportunity. Aunt Lan's performance is very good, although she is not as simple as her mother, but she is obviously highly educated, has seen the world and has a high vision, and takes care of her husband's career prosperously, and is a very powerful helper.

Since she passed the door, although the scale of her father's business has not expanded, the "grade" of the people he deals with is obviously much higher, and he often goes to major cities to "investigate", and the selling price of the things he sells has increased several times compared with the past, and some of the customers who come to "order" are even from overseas.

In the blink of an eye, You Fang was about to graduate from high school when he was eighteen years old, and he usually skipped school too many times, and his father didn't expect him to do anything in the college entrance examination. Aunt Lan asked You Fang many times what kind of university she hopes to go to and what major she wants to study? If you really can't pass the test, you can be prepared to think of other ways now.

You Fang doesn't really want to go to college, children like him like to go to the rivers and lakes as soon as adults, and most of Mo Jiayuan's peers are like this. And in his concept at the time, he also thought that going to college was a waste of time and money, and it was not very interesting to go clubbing, picking up girls and surfing the Internet all day long, or to specialize in boring books like his brother-in-law back then. But on second thought, it was a good idea to leave the White Horse Post by going to university, and it would be a good idea to be out of sight at home.

When You Fang didn't want to cause trouble, something happened at home. It was the middle of May, the weather had already become hot, and the atmosphere in the school was very tense and depressing in order to prepare for the college entrance examination and daily review and mock tests. Unable to sit still in the classroom, You Fang skipped school and ran to Mojiayuan to play that day, and did not return home until more than five o'clock in the afternoon.

The high school in the township is six kilometers away from Mojiayuan, and Mojiayuan is nine miles away from Baimayi. When walking through the mountains, a snake with a thick cup sprang out of the bushes on the side of the road, and it took a bite at Youfang's neck. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, jumped on his toes and kicked the snake head away, and then beat the snake to death with a stick.

Startled, fortunately, it was fine, he picked the snake home, prepared to peel the skin, wash and chop, and add a game to the dinner table in the evening to suppress his shock.

The You family is a very beautiful small building in the village, and Aunt Lan has redecorated it after entering the door, the kitchen is liquefied gas, and the stove cabinets are all customized from the city. There is a water tank on the roof, and there are bathrooms upstairs and downstairs, and the bathroom equipment is no different from that of people in the city. Aunt Lan said for the first time that everything in the countryside is good, but she is too unaccustomed to going to the toilet and bathing, so You Zuming invited the construction team from the city to redecorate.

You Fang was very dissatisfied with his father's deliberate and attentive attitude at the time, although he himself felt that the home was more comfortable to live in after the renovation.

When I walked into the house, I heard the movement of pots and pans from the kitchen, it should be Aunt Lan preparing dinner. You Fang didn't want to scare this city woman, so he went upstairs with a snake, ready to peel and wash it in the bathroom before taking it down, and by the way, take a shower first. When he opened the door, he was taken aback, and stood there stunned with straight eyes.

There was someone in the bath, and when he heard the movement, he pushed open the glass door and asked, "Husband, is the soup ready?" …… Ahh I saw Aunt Lan standing under the shower, with nothing but water and shower gel on her body! No wonder she didn't hear any movement just now, it turned out that she was using a ball of emollient silk to smear shower gel on her body.

Aunt Lan has a good figure, the convex place is convex and the place is warped, and the moist skin is white and pink like silk satin. For the first time in his life, You Fang saw such a naked mature female body, so he lost his mind for a moment, although the ancients said "don't look at it", but swore to Sage Kong - he really didn't mean it!

Lan Qing thought that her husband had come in, and as soon as she was halfway through her words, she saw that it was You Fang outside the door, and then let out a frightened scream, not because You Fang had broken in by mistake, but because she saw the snake he was holding in his hand. If you don't be scared to see a snake in the wild, someone suddenly pushes open the door and dangles it in front of you while taking a bath, and the sudden horror is indescribable.

This scream was very high-pitched, and the whole family was shocked, even You Fang was startled. Before he could close the door, a strong wind rushed out of the kitchen, You Zuming rushed to the bottom of the stairs with a soup spoon, and went upstairs with a whirlwind leg on the stairs, and kicked You Fang's wrist with his flying feet, and shouted angrily: "Bastard boy, dare to scare you Aunt Lan with a snake!" ”

My father's martial arts were learned from my grandmother, and he opened his sword and horse long fist. You Fang didn't dare to really make a move, threw the snake backwards, and put on a Tuanyun hand posture that was ready to unload his strength, and at the same time planned to unload his strength to help him, lest his father fall unsteadily on the ground.

You Zuming came quickly, someone was faster than him, the door of a room next to him was kicked open, Mo Sigu rushed out with a small mallet that usually knocks on her legs, and when she saw her son kicking her grandson, she immediately shouted: "Stop!" With a wave of the small mallet in his hand, he pointed directly at the numb tendon at the front end of You Zuming's right ankle. Although she is old, she is experienced and spicy, and her movements are not large, but she is very accurate.

You Zuming didn't dare to really do anything with his mother, so he accepted it stiffly, and stood firm at the staircase with a rollover handrailing. Aunt Lan screamed, and in a blink of an eye, the door was so lively, she was also stunned. Or Mo Sigu reacted quickly, turned around and closed the bathroom door with her hand, glared at You Fang and whispered: "Stinky boy, peek at your aunt taking a bath?" …… Well, no, how can there be a dead snake? …… A snake slipped in, did you help your aunt fight the snake? ”

You Zuming said angrily: "How can there be a snake in the house? He caught it, obviously trying to throw it in and be scary! This kid has long been ......" He didn't suspect that his son deliberately peeked at Lan Qing taking a bath, thinking that You Fang was a prank to scare people, because he saw You Fang carrying a snake with his own eyes, and he knew that his son had long seen his stepmother unpleasant and always wanted to find some trouble.

You Fang shrank in the corner of the wall and couldn't find a crack in the ground to get into, and before his father finished speaking, he shouted aggrievedly: "I really didn't know she was inside!" ”

Mo Sigu asked loudly, "What's the matter with this snake?" ”

"I took a taxi on the way home, and I took it back and planned to add a dish in the evening. …… I thought Aunt Lan was in the kitchen, but I didn't expect her to be in it. ”

At this time, Lan Qing had already dressed and pulled the door out, seeing this scene, the old lady deliberately did not mention what happened just now, but pulled the topic away and asked: "My generation of Jianghu people don't kill indiscriminately when they walk, and they don't pay attention to the snake when they see it, why do you want to kill it?" ”

How can there be such a delicacy, there is a saying that it is not indiscriminately killed, but it is not enough to eat a snake that blocks the way, and You Fang has never heard of it. He had to defend: "I didn't provoke it, it suddenly jumped out and bitten people, if you don't kill it, what if others are bitten when they pass by?" ”

Hearing this answer, Mo Sigu patted You Fang's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Well, my grandson is kind and should be beaten!" He turned around and asked his daughter-in-law: "Xiaolan, Cheng Cheng accidentally scared you, are you okay?" ”

Lan Qing heard the conversation they had just now, and as soon as she saw this scene, she knew that her mother-in-law wanted to calm things down. To be honest, she didn't want to pursue it more, and she was embarrassed to talk too much about it, so she persuaded softly: "It's okay, I didn't pay attention, the door was not closed properly, it was just a small misunderstanding, and it can't be blamed." ”

Mo Sigu picked up the dead snake and said, "Okay, okay, it's okay!" …… Chengcheng, pay attention in the future, don't be so naughty! Hurry up and wash your face and hands and get ready to eat. ”

This afternoon, Lan Qing was making soup in the kitchen, she was sweating and felt uncomfortable when it was hot, and asked her husband to help watch the fire for a while, she went upstairs to take a shower by herself, but she didn't expect You Fang to go home at this time, and she didn't expect him to carry a dead snake to push the door and break in by mistake.

For dinner that day, Fourth Aunt Mo made a bowl of snake soup with her own hands, and You Zuming and Lan Qing both praised her for her old man's superb cooking skills, but they didn't mention anything about the afternoon, as if it hadn't happened. The elders showed great generosity, as if silently saying: "No matter what the reason, we have forgiven you, pay attention not to make mistakes in the future." ”

You Fang was very depressed, he was thinking a little too much, and he really wanted to shout at the dinner table: "I really didn't peek at Aunt Lan taking a bath!" It's a pity that he can't say this, and everyone doesn't mention this stubble at all, he doesn't have a chance to explain a few more words, and there is no need to explain. This inexplicable feeling of "being forgiven" is really uncomfortable.;
