Chapter Seventy-Nine: Request (Ask for Flowers!) Ask for flowers! )
Zhang Taiping came to the river, and the women who were still laughing at Cai Yazhi just now stopped. Zhang Dashuai's notoriety in the village still has some effect.
Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "You can say yours, don't worry about me." As he spoke, he sat on a stone not far behind Cai Yazhi.
The women smiled awkwardly and did not speak again. When Zhang Taiping saw that he was coming, the relaxed and happy atmosphere just now immediately became heavy, and they all became muffled and silent. couldn't help feeling bored and wanted to leave, but seeing that Cai Yazhi had no clothes in the basket, they had already been soaked, and all that was left was to wash again, so he didn't get up and leave.
"Am I that terrible? It's not as scary as a tiger, is it? Zhang Taiping said to the three women.
There was no reply, and after a few minutes, a young daughter-in-law who had just married raised her head and said, "You are much more terrible than a tiger." Then there was no sound again.
Dirty Taiping couldn't help but laugh: "I'm really not that terrible, tigers still eat people, I won't eat you, right?" ”
This little daughter-in-law's name is Han Miaomiao, and like Wang Bajin's wife Han Cuihua, she is a daughter from Hanjiazhuang, the village next door to the east. Not long after getting married, although I have heard of Zhang Dashuai's evil deeds, but after all, he is not from this village, and he may not feel it very deeply, just like Zhang Taiping said, thinking that he can still eat himself? I also dared to say a few words to Zhang Taiping.
"You don't eat people, but it's more terrible than cannibalism."
Zhang Taiping was directly speechless, it's not so exaggerated, although Zhang Taiping was bad in the past, he didn't do anything hurtful. At most, it is gambling, beating and scolding his wife when he has a bad temper, and what people are most afraid of is that he has been in prison, "Then tell me what bad things I have done?" ”
Wang Miaomiao opened her mouth but couldn't say it, and finally said with a flushed face: "Anyway, people say you're terrible." After saying that, he stopped washing clothes, picked up the basin and ran away.
After Wang Miaomiao ran away, a woman saw that Zhang Taiping was talking to Han Miaomiao just now and was normal and did not have any radical behavior, so she said carefully: "Dashuai, look, Miao Miao's daughter-in-law just got married, and she doesn't think about it when she speaks, so don't take it to heart." ”
Zhang Taiping really felt like a heinous villain, and said: "Just say it, I'm not so stingy, how can I worry about a woman?" ”
Another woman cautiously said tentatively: "Dashuai, Xiaozhi is really a good woman, you really shouldn't beat her at every turn." ”
Zhang Taiping sincerely admitted his mistake and said: "Alas, I was also confused before, and I will definitely be good to Xiaozhi in the future." ”
"You must be good to Xiao Zhi, speaking of which, it is your blessing that you can marry Xiao Zhi. If it weren't for Xiaozhi's car accident, she wouldn't have been able to speak, and it wouldn't have been your turn to suffer the sins of the past few years. ”
Cai Yazhi's mute is not born with it, but halfway. Before junior high school, she was still a normal person, she studied well in school, she was beautiful, and she was very popular with boys, but all the boys who had thoughts about her were cleaned up by Zhang Taiping, so she was always under Zhang Taiping's protection. Until the second year of junior high school, there was a car accident, Zhang Taiping's parents and her parents were killed, only she was also in the car under the full protection of Zhang Taiping's mother, who was sitting next to her, to save her surname, but she was unexpectedly unable to speak. finally married Zhang Taiping, and has been silently enduring the abuse of Zhang Taiping, whose surname has changed greatly since the car accident.
Zhang Taiping said seriously: "Being able to marry Xiaozhi is the greatest blessing in my life, and I will definitely treat her well." ”
Although Cai Yazhi was silently washing clothes on the side and didn't say anything, she kept listening to their conversation with her ears, and waited until Zhang Taiping's last sentence was red-eyed.
Then Zhang Taiping and the two women had a family affair. Both women felt that Zhang Taiping had changed a lot, and it was not at all like what people often say, and gradually they were not as scared as they were at the beginning, and they were not as cautious as before.
Cai Yazhi washed the clothes for the last time, Zhang Taiping picked up the washed wooden basin and walked back with Cai Yazhi.
When the two of them walked away, a woman in the river said to another woman: "Zhang Dashuai is not as terrible as the legend says, if he can really be good to Xiaozhi, he can be regarded as a good man." ”
"The main thing is to see if you can insist on being good to Xiaozhi like this, they all say that dogs can't change their eating, so they are afraid of the heat for three minutes, and they will start beating and scolding Xiaozhi again in a few days."
Zhang Taiping, who had already walked away but could hear their conversation, smiled, the woman in the back really knew how to speak, and really knew how to use words.
When I got home, it was time to make lunch again. Yaya is back, the squirrel that has been missing for a few days is also back, Ah Huang and the lion are there. Sakura and Takeshi were also noisy in the yard. It's the first time that the family has such a complete set of members.
Zhang Taiping ignored a few animals that could move in the yard, came to the back room, took out the wooden box with wolf hair from the space, took out the wolf hair and arranged it on the desk one by one.
Then find a round and smooth bamboo pole from the backyard and cut it into small sections, each twenty-three or four centimeters long, and carry at least one knot on each small section. Use a knife to flatten the ends of the bamboo segments, then glue the wolf hair to the ends with the nodes, and then use glue to seal the gaps.
After loading the wolf's hair, fill the hollow of the bamboo pole with iron sand from the other end. Filling iron sand is mainly to increase the weight of the pen, and those who have practiced writing know that if the pen is too light, it is difficult to control, and it is difficult to write good words. Therefore, it is necessary to add some weight to the pen holder.
Finally, the port is sealed, so that a wolf is done, of course, this is just the simplest and most primitive production process, if you want to be beautiful, you have to work the pen to make some patterns or inscribe some small characters and the like. In a row, all the wolf hairs were made into simple and simple brushes, the largest one was as thick as two fingers, and the smallest one was much thinner than chopsticks.
"Wangwang," the lion who came in from outside with the maid saw the wolf on the table, and barked wildly. Its innate acuity allows it to sense the breath of a mortal enemy.
Zhang Taiping scolded before stopping.
"Dad, is this a brush?"
"Yes, do you want to learn to write?" Zhang Taiping asked.
"I want to learn to write as good as my father."
Zhang Taiping didn't realize it when he heard it, and he was like his father again, so it can be seen that Yaya admires herself very much, and she takes herself as an example for everything.
"Okay, this pen will be given to you, and I will write for a while every day in the future." Zhang Taiping handed the thinnest pen to Yaya.
Yaya took the pen, and was not dissatisfied because it was the thinnest, so she happily put it away, opened the drawer and put it in the pencil case given by her aunt.
Zhang Taiping said: "Don't put it in a pencil box, Dad will make you a small long wooden box, which is specially used to put brushes." So saying, he went out and found a wooden plank, and with a quick gesture with a carving knife, a small rectangular wooden box came out in a short time. Gave the wooden box to Yaya and said.
"Brushes should not be packed with other pens, either in a separate wooden box or upside down in a pen holder with other pens."
"Hmm", Yaya carefully put the brush in the box, covered the lid, and then opened the drawer and put it in the drawer.
Zhang Taiping made a pen, found a bottle of ink, and when he opened the lid, a foul smell came out. In fact, this is not a real smell, but the smell of ink formed by the age of the ink, and after it is written on the paper, there is no unpleasant "smell", but the fragrance of ink, which is often referred to as the fragrance of ink. The heavier the "smell" when you open the lid, the stronger the ink fragrance will be when you write it on the paper.
I chose a medium-sized pen, soaked it in hot water, and spun it dry before it began to absorb ink. Spread out a blank piece of paper, and immediately wrote a poem on it "Chivalrous Travel" by Immortal Taibai, which was not finished, but only stopped when it was written, "Brush off your clothes and hide your body and name when you are done". Someone shouted outside.
"Is the big handsome there?"
"Woo woo" the roar of a lion.
The little girl who was still holding her head with her hands and looking at Zhang Taiping's writing with adoration immediately ran out, and the lion stopped barking. Then Yaya led Wang Gui in.
Wang Gui saw the words spread out on the white paper on the table, especially the sentence "Kill one person in ten steps, don't stay for a thousand miles", which was written in imitation of the old man Zhang Wufu's handwriting, although it did not know its essence, but it could also show domineering. Wang Gui couldn't help but shout "good word".
After Zhang Taiping put down the pen, Wang Gui didn't have any polite nonsense, and said his intention straightforwardly: "My dad wants to invite you to drink and say something at home." ”
Zhang Taiping didn't know what it was, but he still didn't refuse, and he readily agreed: "Okay, what time?" ”
"Right now."
Zhang Taiping put the pen on the inkstone, did not clean up the white paper spread on the table, and said to Yaya, "You take the pen and write by yourself", and walked out with Wang Gui. When he arrived at the front room, he said to Cai Yazhi who was in the kitchen: "I'll go to Uncle Hanmin's place to sit down, and you won't have to worry about me for lunch." ”
When they arrived at the village chief's house, there was no one else, just Zhang Taiping, Wang Gui and the old village chief. The two women went out after a few dishes in the kitchen.
The old village chief didn't explain what he meant today, but he just persuaded the wine and the food, and after the five flavors of wine and the three rounds of the dishes, he still didn't get into the main topic, and he was still talking about the shortcomings of some village parents.
Zhang Taiping put down his chopsticks and asked, "Uncle Hanmin, I don't know what is going on today?" ”
The old village chief leaned back in the glass of wine that was handed to his lips, put down the wine glass and sighed before saying, "Handsome, this uncle has not been able to take care of you in the past few years." ”
"Uncle Hanmin, where is this, although I have been confused in the past few years, but my eyes have not been blind, Uncle Hanmin and the people in the village have taken care of the sisters in the family in recent years. How can it be said that it is not well cared for? ”
"Alas, Xiaozhi is a kind girl, and Xiaomei has also been admitted to university, and the help of the people in the village should be. It's just that I haven't taken good care of you over the years, but it's because you haven't been angry in the past few years that I have been a little disheartened. But no matter what, I've broken my trust in your father. As he spoke, another glass of wine poured into his mouth.
"That's because I didn't fight myself before, and no one can blame me."
It is said that personal freedom and personal happiness are not false at all. I thought you would be like this, but I didn't expect you to be able to make a name for yourself outside and meet a group of people in the city, but it was your own blessing. As he spoke, he drank another glass of wine.
Zhang Taiping grabbed his hand and wanted to pour wine again, he didn't dare to let him drink anymore, if he was drunk, he would have nothing to say about today's business, and asked: "Uncle Hanmin, just say it directly, if there is anything, if I can do it, I will not shirk, after all, you have taken care of the family a lot over the years." ”
The old village chief has become a little red when he gets old, but fortunately, he has already blushed, and now he can't see any changes: "Then I'll be cheeky, now I see that you have a good relationship with the people in the city, and you will definitely have a good future in the future, and it is indispensable to make a lot of money." It's just that if you are developed in the future, you can also reach out and pull the village. Uncle doesn't have the ability to bring everyone to a well-off society, so he can only come to beg you with a cheeky face. ”
