Chapter 178: Cub Protector

Yu Mingyue checked her homework, saw that her cousin had not made any mistakes, and praised her cousin with a few words of relief, and when she was about to start setting the meal, she suddenly saw that Pu Xiaoqiang was curious again, and looked at the homework book that was placed on the stool with some longing, Yu Mingyue was suddenly stunned.

This kid has never walked into the campus, he should also want to study.

After thinking about it, Yu Mingyue didn't be busy setting up the whole meal anymore, but walked to Pu Xiaoqiang and sat down, chuckled: "Brother Xiaoqiang, why don't I teach you what I learned in school every noon afternoon when Sister Xiaoyan and I come back from school every afternoon, and then I will find a set of first-grade books for you, and when you have free time at noon and evening, you can also study, and if you don't understand, you can ask me." ”

The more Yu Mingyue said, the more she felt that this method was feasible, although she couldn't let Pu Xiaoqiang go to school now, she could definitely teach him to learn some knowledge, and it would definitely be no harm to him if he knew some words and arithmetic.

But to Yu Mingyue's surprise, Pu Xiaoqiang was slightly stunned after listening to her words, but he blushed and shook his head gently.

At this time, Kong Xiaoyu thought about it, and also persuaded beside him: "Yes, Xiaoqiang, Xiaoyue's idea is good, my aunt supports you to study, you study hard for a while, not to mention how much you can do in the future, but after recognizing some words and learning some accounting skills, you can also help your Uncle Yu collect vegetables and fruits every morning and afternoon, if it weren't for Chen Qiang here now, your Uncle Yu would really be too busy." ”

Kong Xiaoyu also really feels sorry for this child who has no father, no mother and no relatives, especially now, she can better understand why her daughter is so willing to help this Pu Xiaoqiang, and she is also a little more concerned about this Pu Xiaoqiang. thought that although Pu Xiaoqiang didn't like to talk, he was a discerning person, so he used words that could help Yu Zhiqing receive the goods to persuade him.

This Pu Xiaoqiang is indeed a discerning person, he knows in his heart that he is a helper in this family, although he also wants to read some books and learn some things, but he is afraid that he will delay his work and make several adults in Yu Mingyue's family unhappy, so he refused, but after listening to Kong Xiaoyu's words. He was moved again. Seeing that Kong Xiaoyu was sincere in letting him learn from Yu Mingyue, after thinking about it, he nodded lightly.

"Thank you, auntie, I will study hard and help Uncle Yu as soon as possible. It won't delay the work at home. Pu Xiaoqiang said seriously. It can also be regarded as a guarantee for Kong Xiaoyu.

Kong Xiaoyu smiled. She couldn't see the child's thoughts, but she still nodded and said, "Well, it's good if you can study hard." After eating, my aunt will go to the village to find you a set of first-grade books, Xiaoyue has more pencil books, and even the stationery box her three grandmothers in the city have given her one, and then let Xiaoyue prepare all the stationery, when you take a break at noon, and after dinner, follow Xiaoyue to study hard, you are a smart child, and my aunt believes that you can definitely learn well. ”

In the face of children, Kong Xiaoyu is such a gentle and amiable woman, Pu Xiaoqiang's favorite thing is to see Kong Xiaoyu smile at him like this, which makes him feel like a mother's care, which makes him very attached, at this time hearing Kong Xiaoyu smile and encourage, Pu Xiaoqiang grinned happily and nodded firmly.

"Well, I'll be attentive, don't worry, auntie." I didn't talk much, but I said it very carefully, and my heart was even more firm.

Yu Mingyue, who was watching this qiē from the side, was very happy, and Yu Mingyan immediately ran back to the hall and brought her small schoolbag, looking like she was about to teach Pu Xiaoqiang to read and write, which made Kong Xiaoyu and Yu Mingyue laugh so much.

When several people were laughing in the stove room, Yu Zhiqing, who had collected the fruits, also took Chen Qiang into the stove room, and after asking about the situation, he also supported Pu Xiaoqiang to learn some knowledge.

When the family was sitting around the table and eating, Yu Zhiqing took the initiative to mention the matter of repairing the pool and building a water tank by the water pipe at the back door, obviously, before Yu Mingyue came home from school, Kong Xiaoyu had already told Yu Zhiqing about it.

Yu Zhiqing has now agreed to repair the pool, he went home in the afternoon and listened to Kong Xiaoyu talk about it, so he personally went to the back to investigate, at this time said that he felt that it was enough to repair three pools, so he built one on the left and right sides of his house, and one on the hill behind the house.

"Well, listen to Dad, I'll fix three, but we have to fix bigger, so we won't be afraid when we encounter a heavenly stem." Yu Mingyue felt that it was appropriate to dig and repair three in this way, and for the time being, it was not the most convenient to pick up water from the three pools to water the trees for the time being.

After the saplings grow, there should be a small pumping machine on the market to sell, when the time to water the fruit water, it is also very convenient to pump water directly from the pool, and with the further the future, the climate change in this place is getting bigger and bigger, and the rain is getting less and less, the reservoir will be boiled regularly, there are three mountain spring pools that are shelved back from the mountain, and her fruit trees are not afraid of drying out without water.

Over the years, the rain has not been bad, Yu Zhiqing is not afraid of dry weather and no water, but he has no objection to Yu Mingyue's suggestion, after all, repairing a water chong is a long-term thing, and if you want to repair it bigger, then spend more effort to dig the cane bigger and dig deeper, and then spend a little more red bricks to build on the surrounding and bottom, and then spend more cement, and wipe it to prevent water leakage.

As for building a shed by the back door, setting up water and electricity to use the washing machine that he bought for several days, Yu Zhiqing also agreed, and promised to say that he would come back from selling vegetables tomorrow, so he pulled the materials and started to build it, but when it came to building a large water tank next to the water pipe, Yu Zhiqing was a little disagreeable.

Yu Zhiqing finished repairing the pool and washing machine room while eating, and persuaded Yu Mingyue to say: "The water pipe is next to the back door, I don't think there is any need to bother to build a big water tank, right?" Your cousin's shop is about to open these days, and there are a lot of things to do in the store, and I will come home later in the last few days, so it would be good to cover the washing machine shed earlier and use the washing machine, so that your mother can reduce the burden of washing clothes earlier. ”

The repair of the water tank is to prevent the black-hearted villain from breaking it, how can Yu Mingyue agree not to repair it. As soon as Yu Zhiqing finished speaking, he shook his head decisively in opposition.

"No, Dad, the water tank has to be built." After thinking about it, he said: "There is a big water tank to store water, even if the water pipe is accidentally trampled by cattle and sheep one day." Or what was originally cut off from the water, before the water pipe is repaired, there is no need to worry about running out of water at home for the time being, and I am also going to raise a few small fish in the river in the water tank that like to eat mud and fine dust on the stones, this water can also be cleaned, and in this way, even if there is something wrong with the water one day and cannot drink, see that the small fish in the water tank are not energetic or dead, it can also give us a reminder. ”

"Ah, that's right."

Yu Zhiqing is still reminiscing. Kong Xiaoyu seemed to have understood Yu Mingyue's intentions. He said: "Yes, Zhiqing, if the water pipe breaks one day, we still have to run to the well a few hundred meters away to fetch water for home, and I think the idea of raising small fish after Xiaoyue is better." I don't expect a few small fish to clean any water.

Mainly, it reminds me of the time when I used to make the most trouble. In the big well in our village that borrows water from the whole village. Didn't I raise a few clean water fish, saying that it was clean water, in fact, I wasn't afraid that someone with a heart would poison and destroy something. Our family's life is getting better and better now. Haven't you ever worried that someone will blush and do something bad? The old man said, this is indispensable to prevent people, I think it is really necessary to build a water tank and raise a few small fish in it, even if no one really comes to make it bad, but at least it can be like what Xiaoyue said, clean water is not good. ”

When Yu Zhiqing heard this, he also thought of the key and importance of it, and he also remembered that when the society was unstable in the early years, fish were really raised in the well in the village, although it was said that the water was purified on the surface, but in fact, everyone knew that it was raised to prevent bad people from sabotaging and poisoning the well.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhiqing is also a little afraid, he collects vegetables every day, and he has heard and seen a lot of people in the village who are careful not to see the good of others, those cool words, and the red eyes, not to mention that people will definitely do something bad to his family, but who can tell what if, his family is not without enemies in the village, not to mention anything else, what he is most afraid of is Tang Wanfang, who has no brains and bad water, that old woman, there are a lot of bad ideas that harm people, and she has no knowledge, and she is even more ignorant of the law.

The more I thought about it, the more scared Yu Zhiqing became, and said directly: "Okay, let's go home tomorrow and build the water tank first, not only do we build our own house, but we also have to inform my father and my father's family to build one, Xiaoyu, you said this, I directly thought of Tang Wanfang and the village chief Tang Fugui who had a big grudge with our family, Tang Fugui is not afraid, he at least has some brains and understands the law, but Tang Wanfang is a restless person, not to mention how she hates our family, even when Xingming got married last time, Xiaoyue's grandfather also offended her ruthlessly, Several times in the morning, when we were harvesting, I saw her staring at us from afar, with a look of disgust and hatred, and we really had to be afraid that she would do us badly. ”

Seeing that Yu Zhiqing paid attention to safety issues and agreed to build a water tank, Yu Mingyue finally put her mind at ease and said this, the family also finished eating, and the sky began to darken.

Yu Zhiqing went directly into the red clay slope, ready to mention to his father-in-law and father-in-law the importance of repairing the water tank, and said that his family was going to repair the pool, and then to tell Yu Tianxiang about the progress of Chen Qiang's opening of a store in the city, Yu Zhiqing knew in his heart that Yu Tianxiang attached great importance to Chen Qiang's business in the city.

Kong Xiaoyu, on the other hand, pushed the two little ones in a stroller and took Yu Mingyue and Yu Mingyan to the village, on the one hand, for a walk after dinner, and with the two little ones who are becoming more and more curious about new things to see the outside world, on the other hand, to find a set of first-grade Chinese and mathematics books for Pu Xiaoqiang.

Only Pu Xiaoqiang was left in the house to take care of the house, but he was a person who liked to be quiet, so he stayed in the hall and watched TV.

It's just that I didn't think about it, a few people left less than half an hour, but there were visitors at home, Pu Xiaoqiang heard the shouting door, and when he went to open the door, Na Yufen was unhappy and hugged her Xiaoju into the door.

"What's the matter with you kid, I'm shouting hoarse outside, and you're only here to open the door."

Na Yufen scolded and walked in front, Pu Xiaoqiang closed the door and lowered his head and walked behind, without opening his mouth to defend or make a sound, just quietly followed to the hall.

When Na Yufen entered the hall, it hadn't arrived at 8 o'clock yet, and the TV series hadn't started yet, she was a little unhappy, so she directly took the remote control board on the table, curiously rummaged through it, and pressed the button to adjust the sound, and she didn't let go, the sound of the TV suddenly began to get louder all the time, startling her, and throwing the remote control board in her hand.

Pu Xiaoqiang was beside him, distressed and worried that the remote control board was broken. Hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, turned down the voice, and put it on the table again.

Na Yufen's face was a little unbearable, and she was also a little angry, so she scolded angrily: "But, look at your little family's ghostly appearance, who is this for, this is my own brother's family, you can figure it out." ”

Pu Xiaoqiang still sat quietly next to him and didn't answer, which made Na Yufen feel like a punch on cotton. It's boring. After sitting on the stool for a while, I was very annoyed when I saw that there were advertisements on the TV all the time, but the TV series had not been played. He glared angrily at Pu Xiaoqiang next to him.

"You kid. It's really a young father who owes his mother to teach. You don't know that the guests have to pour water when they come to the door, why don't you cook me some sour plum water and bring some fried peanuts and melon seeds? ”

Pu Xiaoqiang's body stiffened. got up from the stool, didn't speak, and went directly to the stove room to boil sour plum water, but Na Yufen was still sitting in the hall, scolding and chattering.

By the time Pu Xiaoqiang boiled the sour plum water and picked up the hall, it was already ten minutes later, and the Balong Babu, which started on time at eight o'clock every night, had already opened, Na Yufen was staring without blinking, and when she saw Pu Xiaoqiang put a bowl of sour plum water on the small square stool in front of her, she glanced at Pu Xiaoqiang fiercely.

"That's how you work for my brother's family on weekdays? It took so long to boil water, and why are you so stupid in your brain, I don't know if you want to bring me some melon seeds and peanuts to eat before you go to boil water, this is Xiaoyue is not at home, Xiaoyue has more eyesight than you, and she is really a person who is less disciplined by her father. ”

Originally, after Pu Xiaoqiang brought the water to her, he was about to go upstairs to serve the fried peanuts and melon seeds that she had ordered earlier, but at this time, he just walked to the staircase on the second floor, and heard her scolding her for not having a father, Pu Xiaoqiang's body stiffened again, and he paused at his feet, and was ready to lift his feet upstairs.

"Brother Xiaoqiang came back and sat and watched TV." Yu Mingyue stepped into the hall and said, "There are not so many rules for my family's hospitality, and besides, my aunt is not an outsider, so you don't need to act like an outsider, you say yes, aunt?" ”

Yu Mingyue was very angry at this time, as soon as she entered the gate, she heard her aunt scolding from a distance, there was only Pu Xiaoqiang at home, and her aunt could only bully Pu Xiaoqiang, when she ran over quickly, she heard that her aunt actually used Pu Xiaoqiang's lack of father and mother since he was a child to scold Pu Xiaoqiang.

This is too TM bullying, although Pu Xiaoqiang is a little autistic and doesn't like to talk, he likes to be quiet, but Pu Xiaoqiang is definitely not stupid than any normal person, 13-year-old half-grown child, how can he feel good when he hears others use the words of his father's early death.

Yu Mingyue's last words were said by staring at Na Yufen, Na Yufen saw Yu Mingyue looking like a cub protecting her own cub, she was so angry that she couldn't educate Yu Mingyue angrily: "What kind of attitude do you have, do you talk to your elders like this?" Is this Pu Xiaoqiang kissing you or is my aunt kissing you? Really, he can't tell the order of what he does, and he's grinding and grinding, what's wrong with me helping you take care of your family? You're really kind to me."

"Sister-in-law in the lobby!"

Before Na Yufen finished speaking, Kong Xiaoyu was already very angry and shouted at her, and said: "Don't be angry at my Xiaoyue, it's not that I said you, you scolded you just now, how can you say this, Xiaoqiang is diligent on weekdays, even if his father and mother are gone now, but he is much stronger than those boys in the village." ”

After Kong Xiaoyu finished speaking, she lifted the stroller into the hall with some effort, pushed the two boys to Yu Mingyue, who was still angry, raised her hand and touched Yu Mingyue's head with distress, gently patted Yu Mingyue's back, and said to Na Yufen, who was blushing because of her words just now:

"Sister-in-law in the lobby, don't say such things in front of the children in the future, don't say it if you hurt Xiaoqiang's child's heart, it's not good to teach Xiaoyue Xiaoyan to hear your words, they are still young, everything is learning with our elders, and you don't want to teach crooked children."

said, sat down, looked up and said to Yu Mingyue and Yu Mingyan, who were still standing on the side: "You two go upstairs and grab some peanuts and melon seeds, the TV series has started, let's eat some snacks while watching TV for a while, so as to pass the time." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Na Yufen and said: "When did the lobby sister-in-law come, I went to the village just now and was not at home, only Xiaoqiang has a child, don't mind the lobby sister-in-law in a bad place, after all, our relationship is not better than that of outsiders, nor is it better than ordinary relatives, and we have no chance to talk well on weekdays, and when the weather is cool in the afternoon, you can bring Xiaoju to my house to play if you are fine, and it is good to talk to me." ”

Just now, Na Yufen scolded Pu Xiaoqiang for not being disciplined by her father, Kong Xiaoyu also heard it, and knew why her family Xiaoyue was so angry, and even she was angry, she now hated others to talk about what she didn't have a father and no mother, so she was so angry just now that Na Yufen was beaten. But after being angry, he also knew that he couldn't offend Na Yufen too much, after all, Na Yufen was still Yu Zhiqing's sister-in-law and Yu Mingyan's mother-in-law, and the relationship between the two families was broken and the bones were still connected, so there was a paragraph that eased the tone and brought the relationship closer, and wanted to give Na Yufen a step down.

Na Yufen was told by Kong Xiaoyu just now, and her face was very unbearable, at this time, after listening to Kong Xiaoyu's words, she didn't feel that Kong Xiaoyu was giving her a step, but thought that Kong Xiaoyu was despising her family for not having a TV, and she would have to run here every day in the future, and she was even more angry, after all, she would come here today, but she was just running to watch TV, who told her that her family hadn't bought a TV yet.

"Xiaoyan, you damn girl, are you thick-skinned!" Na Yufen yelled and stopped Yu Mingyan, who was going to follow Yu Mingyue upstairs to serve peanuts and melon seeds, and walked over, poked Yu Mingyan's head and scolded: "You have no eyesight, your wife and I are not dead, you forgot all the things you taught you on weekdays into the dog's belly?" Dare anyone to follow behind their buttocks. Why don't you hurry up and go home with Lao Tzu, do you still want to be disliked like shit by people with thick skin? ”

This change came, not only Yu Mingyue was dumbfounded, but even Kong Xiaoyu couldn't react, and it wasn't until she saw Yu Mingyan being dragged out of the hall with tears in her eyes that Yu Mingyue reacted.

"Auntie, if you want to think I'm wrong, can't I apologize, don't drag me Sister Xiaoyan like this, you're scaring her."

Kong Xiaoyu also reacted, but just chased to the door, and said to Na Yufen, who had already gone down the courtyard ladder: "Sister-in-law, you're boring, what kind of anger do you say, do you need to be angry with your own daughter?" ”

"What do I dare to be angry about, Kong Xiaoyu, your family is amazing now, and you have made money, and our poor relatives still rely on your family to stain your family's light, I am teaching me to give birth to this spineless and eyeless girl, do you still have to take care of it?"

What are you talking about, you can't get easy when you hear it. Yu Mingyue was about to rush out, but was caught by Kong Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyue, don't care about her, the more you plead and take care of it, with your aunt's bear nature, don't clean up your cousin even worse. It's so beautiful to her, a person like her, just don't bother with her, don't believe you look at it, and after a few days she sent it to the door by herself. ”

Yu Mingyue also knows Na Yufen quite well, and after listening to Kong Xiaoyu's words, she really can't refute it, if she wasn't in a hurry just now, she really shouldn't have caught up and said that superfluous plea and admitting her mistakes, which not only made her unreasonable aunt think that she didn't say anything, but her cousin was likely to suffer a little more.

The mother and daughter were in a bad mood, and when they stood by the door and said this, Na Yufen had already dragged Yu Mingyan, who was crying, to the door, and Yu Zhiqing also happened to open the door from outside at this time.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with Xiaoyan, is there something wrong, you can say it, don't be like this, look at the scared child. ”

"Hmph, what's wrong with me, what else can I do." Na Yufen didn't let go of dragging her eldest daughter's hand, and after saying a sentence in a weird way, she directly dragged Yu Mingyan out of the open gate just now, scolding all the way, what is the lack of eyesight, the skin is thicker than the city wall, and the words taught on weekdays enter the dog's stomach or something, anyway, it's just a few sentences over and over again. (To be continued......)
