Chapter 1 A Gift
"Kid, what about the adults in your family, uncle, you still have to do business, don't play in front of your uncle's stall. ”
Uncle Dry Thin Merchant with a face full of impatience waved at me, as if he was chasing flies.
"Jian'er, what are you looking at?"
A gentle voice that warmed my heart sounded behind me, and the gloom in my heart was suddenly swept away. I looked back to the side and saw a woman in her 23 or 4 years old looking at me with a smile. Her green silk hair is only decorated with two silver hairpins, her not too big eyes are a little blurry but revealing bursts of loving light, some pale melon seed face looks sickly, thin lips are a little blue, thin figure makes people worry that she will be blown away by the wind at any time, not a big beauty, but her thin willow posture makes people feel pity.
When I saw her, I couldn't help but smile, "Mother, I'm just looking at it casually." Have you bought the line? Let's go home. ”
"What are you looking at? Let my mother also take a look? I just sold embroidery today, and I happen to have some spare money, so my mother will buy you a small gift as a congratulatory gift." ”
"I ...... Just a casual look. Huh, isn't that two or three? I went to play with them. ”
Looking at the patches on my mother's body that were patched and patched, I really couldn't open my mouth, pinched the gadgets in my palm and put them down, and gently rubbed them before removing my hand, turned sideways and glanced at them from the corner of my eyes, and then ran towards Erya and Sanya, and the voice of the merchant uncle came from behind, "It's a sensible child."
Because of the rain last night, the road was full of puddles. I carried Sanya and Erya on my back on the road, and my mother and their mother, Sister-in-law Du, walked slowly behind us.
Erya, who was sallow because of malnutrition, was almost 6 years old, less than 3 months younger than me. She looked at me with a smile in her big bright eyes and asked, "Brother Jian, how is your energy test?"
I glanced at her shaking two big braids that hung down to her waist and replied with a smile: "The entry realm has reached the level of entry and has reached the qualification of being listed as an ancestral hall, which means that I will officially become a capable master." ”
"Really, congratulations, Brother Jian! Now you can eat enough!"
Looking at Erya, who was more excited than me, I couldn't help but feel good, and the depression of having to give up small things before was suddenly swept away.
"Brother Sword. ”
Erya clenched her hands into fists on her chin, and looked at me with big eyes sparkling with anticipation.
I don't know what the hell she had in mind.
I smiled and said, "No problem, Brother Jian, I promise to bring you and Sanya big steamed buns when I come back to see you." ”
"It's great to have a big steamed bun to eat!"
Sanya, who was lying quietly on top of me, screamed happily, and the small hands that were originally around my neck withdrew and applauded.
"That, Brother Jian, won't you bring my mother a big steamed bun too?"
Erya is two years older than Erya and knows that she is going to hurt her mother.
I lifted the swaying Sanya up, and she quickly hugged my neck again.
"Oh, second girl, you should be the Long family's steamed buns for nothing? Your sword brother can bring you two out of it is already good, your old lady and I have delicious food, when will we not give you two money and goods? If you want your sword brother to bring you a few more steamed buns, you will directly beg your sword brother to go, and bring less of your old lady and me! Use your old lady as a gun here, right? Go back and see how I tear your mouth!"
Behind her, Sister-in-law Du smiled and scolded to expose Erya's scheme, she smiled at me playfully, stuck out her tongue and turned her little face to the side. This gluttonous girl returned my touch.
"It's okay, Aunt Du, I'll just bring a few more steamed buns out, then the Long family won't have to worry about these steamed buns with me." ”
"Xiao Jian'er, don't praise this Haikou. Don't look at the fact that Uncle Long made the fans in Chunhong Courtyard all wear gold and silver and silk satin, he can pick at the bottom. Otherwise, your mother's illness would not have been left behind, and my eldest son would not have gone early. ”
In the end, Sister-in-law Du's voice was a little choked, and her mother hurriedly hugged her and persuaded her softly.
"Don't mention these unhappy things, sister, look forward. Now that my sword has passed the level, I can have a full meal below. Your second girl heard Jian'er say that she is better than him! In another half a year, you will be able to survive the beginning, and then our sisters can be companions again. Isn't it?"
Sister-in-law Du's big benefit, emotions come and go quickly, and as soon as her mother's two good words enter her ears, she also accepts her sadness. This doesn't care about my mother.
"Alas, too. Sister Lin, you have finally come out, that young master Geng still has a little conscience, and as soon as he knew that you had his flesh and blood, he took you into the room. However, that is also because he has no son. After entering the Long family compound, you have to endure more for the sake of the sword in front of the master's mother. ”
"Well, for the sake of Jian'er, I'll bear with it. It's Sister Du, but you have to hurry up and be my companion. ”
Sister-in-law Du nodded again and again for her mother's words, and then she turned her face to Erya, and immediately her face darkened.
"Second girl, do you hear me? I can count on you to fight for breath, my mother!"
"Hmph, old lady, relax, I'm the child king of the village! Fighting, except for Brother Jian, I can't win, the others are flat!"
Looking at the look of Erya's waist and chest, my two mothers and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Blow you! I won't be able to pass the pass then, see if the old lady doesn't whip you with a burning stick!"
"Then you need your old man to catch up with me. ”
I couldn't help but sigh when I watched Erya die every day, and sure enough, Sister-in-law Du's powder keg temper exploded instantly.
In an instant, Sister-in-law Du's black face became even darker, and she suddenly bent down and picked up a branch full of mud from the ground, and roared in her mouth: "Little monkey, you stand for me!"
Seeing this, Erya raised her arms and hands in her ears, her fingers were bent, her tongue stretched out, and she made a "poof" sound and shouted with a grimace: "Come and catch me, big stupid cow!"
After speaking, he turned around and kicked up a cloud of mud, and rushed forward with a puff of smoke.
"Little hoof, stop for the old lady!
"Then you're going to arrest me!"
Erya's provocative voice came from afar, this hoof is running really fast, I can't catch up.
Dodging the mud splashed by Erya and Sister-in-law Du, I glanced at my mother behind me looking at the little smudges on her skirt with a crying and laughing expression.
Alas, it was a mistake to walk with their family after the rain, and there was no time in my memory that my mother didn't splash mud. The most speechless thing is that the reason is the same every time.
"Brother Jian, will my sister be caught by my mother? ”
I replied to Sanya without hesitation: "No, your mother can't catch your sister." Her energy is at least above the level of the consummation level of the entry realm, and when she is listed in the Dragon Family Ancestral Hall and enters the Dragon Garden Martial Academy, she can directly break through, and it is a matter of course for her to break through to the realm of refinement. In terms of talent, your sister is definitely talented, and people are envious, jealous and hateful. ”
"Brother Jian, what is talented? And envy, jealousy and hatred, what is that? Is it delicious?"
"Well, it's delicious. ”
Hearing me fool Sanya like this, my mother couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Oh, isn't this the outer chamber of the Long family's Young Master Long Geng, Grandma Lin? Yo, little cousin, on the back of your little cub is the seed of Young Master Long Du and Na Du Po, right?
The playful and mean voice suddenly sounded, and you didn't need to look to know who was coming.
The mother, who was smiling and groaning, had a cold face, and she had never been gentle to anyone, she swept her eyes sideways angrily, and then said lukewarmly: "It turned out to be Hou San's cousin's family, and my sister won't accompany you if she has something to do." ”
After saying that, my mother quickly stepped forward and put her hand on my shoulder, and wanted to lead me away quickly.
"Hey, what kind of attitude do you have! I'm your sister-in-law!"
The face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and the old woman who looked like she was in her 40s suddenly became angry, scolding and scolding with a fierce look in her eyes. The weak mother couldn't help but be frightened when she saw her posture, and the hand on my shoulder trembled slightly.
The black-looking woman with fierce eyebrows and evil eyes quickly chased after her, and roared viciously: "You little bitch who robbed my family's dragon Geng, see that the old lady won't strip you naked today!"
Hearing her words, the always gentle mother suddenly turned blue with anger, and her whole body trembled violently when she was shocked by her arrogance. But my mother still stepped forward and protected me and Sanya behind her, gritted her teeth and looked at the evil woman rushing in shock and anger, and didn't know what to do for a while.
Seeing that she was less than a few steps away from my mother, the wicked woman reached out her chicken-like hand and grabbed my mother's upright chest, and my mother shouted in fright: "Jian'er with Sanya......"
"Oops!"
The wicked woman slipped on her feet, fell on all fours, and splashed a piece of sewage.
Mom was stunned, pushed us back, stood in place for a while, then turned around and pulled us away in a hurry. That's when I realized that my mother had been splashing mud on her breasts, which was inversely proportional to hers, in order to protect us.
"I'm sorry Mom, I caused you to splash a stain. ”
"What are you talking about, she fell and splashed herself, and it has nothing to do with you. Let's go, Jian'er. If your Aunt Du comes, it will be delayed again. Look, it's getting a little dark, and you're hungry, aren't you? By the way, my mother also prepared a small gift for you. ”
I couldn't help but ask when I looked at my mother's blinking eyes with a mysterious look, but my gaze swept over my mother's bun out of place. I stopped talking, my heart sank suddenly, my eyes were sour, and after taking a deep breath, I didn't ask anything, turned around, lowered my head, and hurriedly ran towards the direction of the village with Sanya on my back.
"Murder! Murder! Lin Niangzi's little smashed her and killed her!"
Listening to the shouting of the shrew behind me, I was furious, and my hand hung down and my finger shook at the place where the sound came from.
A pop came, and a mournful wail came from behind him: "Oh! Which immoral old lady pushes the old lady! The clothes that were newly made last year are all torn! My mother-in-law!".
Hearing the sound, I secretly glanced at my mother beside me, although she didn't turn around to look, but she has always been kind and pursed her lips and secretly laughed, not to mention that my mother's smile is really eye-catching.
For the sake of making my mother happy, I won't worry about her today, but next time she finds fault I will remember, and invite her to skate early, so as not to splash my mother in muddy water.
At night, the home is ventilated on all sides.
Mom was finally able to go to bed after finishing her housework, and it was rare for Mom to light a candle and put it next to the bed. My mother sat down on the bed and took me into her warm arms, and then she mysteriously handed me a small cloth bag an inch long.
My mother happily urged me: "Jian'er, open it and take a look, this is a small gift that my mother has prepared for you." ”
