The road into the village can only drive a horse-drawn carriage, very narrow, from a distance, to the village, is a row of low thatched houses, the walls of these thatched houses are made of mud, tamped into yellow earth walls, the roof of the roof who has a straw curtain for selling grass and stacks, the courtyard around, is also a low wall with soil tamping, the two unconsciously walked into the village, to the door of a farmer's house, heard that there was inside, talking is a person. I wanted to go in and say hello and find out about the situation in the village. I heard a cold voice inside, "I haven't eaten yet?" My mother snatched back all the food at home. ”

"Xing'er, what is it called robbing the family and there is no food, your two younger brothers are so hungry that they cry, but your family borrowed some food and came back..."

"Borrow?" A clear and sarcastic voice sounded faintly.

"Mother, do you call that a loan? You said that there is no food at home, you can borrow it from me, I will definitely lend it to you, and even give you some, this is what you should do as a daughter, but you went to my house without my consent and brought all my food, you think that your son has no food, you haven't thought about whether I, as a daughter, have food? ”

"You are so capable, you can make money, you can afford to buy black noodles, are you still afraid that you will not have food? Your brother has only one chaff left in the house now. ”

"Eat bran vegetables, mother, you said it was me, I remember the day before yesterday, I seemed to see you, and Butcher Zhang bought a piece of meat."

"That's because we're old, and your brother is still young enough to supplement nutrition, and you're in the prime of life now, what do you need to eat?"

"Mother, no matter what, it's not right for you to rob me of food."

"I'm your mother, can't I eat some of your food? It stands to reason that you should have sent it to honor me early, and you want me to come to the door to get it, I have raised you for so many years in vain, not filial! A ghost crying wolf howl came from the courtyard.

"If you are my mother, you can't bear to make me hungry, is there a mother like you? People who are mothers feel sorry for their children, are you feeling sorry for me? I feel sorry that I'm not hungry, right? The cold female voice retorted unceremoniously.

"What are you here for? Want to get the food back? Xing'er, I sue you for no way, I have raised you for more than ten years, and I eat your black noodles, and you still want to chase it back, I just want to call a dog, he has to wag his tail when he sees me, raise you, a white-eyed wolf, marry a man and forget your mother, you ungrateful thing, if it weren't for me, you would have starved to death on the streets. I should have listened to your uncle back then and sent you to the streets, where are the people's teeth? How many more bucks can you get for it? Flower. ”

"Lee." A man's whispered warning voice came from the courtyard.

There is now that he is angry and hears the man's warning, he immediately pointed at the man and scolded, "It's you, at the beginning, the wife in front of you has died, you circled in, and the family didn't eat, then you gave her to the people on the street and sold it, but you are, don't sell it, you have to stuff it for me to raise, saying that I am afraid that I will not be able to give birth to a baby in the future, but now I have also given birth to two sons, look at it, this is a broken goods, how does this treat us?" We kindly married her, she is good, you have to marry this useless showman, and he deserves to starve to death. ”

"My son-in-law spent all the money on his body in order to save you, why didn't you say it? Now Xin'er has married someone else in order to repay her kindness, but this time you are pointing at Sang and scolding Huai's hands. The man retorted gruffly.

From the shouting and scolding of the tripartite personnel, Yu Xin finally understood that the daughter-in-law married by the man was the second, and the girl was the daughter left by the ex-wife. This is back then, maybe I was sick, what happened? After spending all the money of her son-in-law's family, this girl repaid her kindness and married her current son-in-law. But here I am not grateful, but I am bullied, my son-in-law's family. The girl was angry and came to debate. This masterpiece is really everywhere! The family was quarreling, and the rain god was not easy to get involved in the middle, so he had to go deeper into the village with Guo Yu.

"Mother, you are weak, you hurry up and rest for a while, don't do it, leave all these jobs to me, I can do it." A whispered voice rang out from another courtyard.

"Mother is fine, I feel better today, I didn't do anything else, I just helped you pick the vegetables, belch, this family, it's all my mother's bad, and I'm dragging you down." An old voice, accompanied by a soft sigh, sounded in the courtyard.

"Mother, don't worry about the family, as long as you relax and take care of your body, we will be happy as juniors, our family, me and my eldest brother, can work hard, and our life will be good in the future." Another soft voice whispered to persuade.

"Alas, if it weren't for the sins created by your father, we wouldn't have been able to go to this great northwest, and his eldest brother and second brother were also ruthless enough to drive our mother and son out. Your eldest brother and I begged all the way and finally had to end up in this Beitou Village. If it weren't for the village chief, seeing that we had taken us in pitifully, just the two of us, I am afraid that we would have starved to death without half an acre of land under the tiles in the morning. Later, the days here, although I have endured a little better, but my body has also been burned, and now I have to drag you down, and now if it weren't for the filial piety of the two of you, I'm afraid I would have been..."

It seems that you are not everywhere the best, there is still the father and the son who are filial. The interaction between the two people inside made Yu Xin very moved. After looking around and seeing that there was no one, Yu Xin grabbed a chicken, a fish, and a small bag of rice from the space, took it out, and handed it to Guo Yu to hold in his hand.

"Is anyone home? We're passing through, we're thirsty, and want to beg for a drink from you? Yu Xin lightly pressed the door panel with her hand and asked inside.

"Here, you wait." Out of the door came a round-faced woman with a slightly darkened skin, and saw a person dressed in a patched gray-black coarse cloth shirt, with a peach hairpin stuck on her head, and her hair tied on the top of her head, dressed as a woman.

The person who came looked at Yuxin for a while, and the master and servant flipped it over before asking, "Was it you who spoke out just now?"

"That's me, I feel a little thirsty when I pass by you, and I want to drink water from you, is it okay?" Yu Xin asked the other party in a soft voice.

"Okay, will you come in? Our house is a mess, don't dislike it. After the woman finished speaking, she turned sideways and let Yu Xin and the others into the door.

"Yufen, who's out there?" "Mother, it's two young ladies passing by, they are thirsty, come to our house to ask for water to drink."

"Two young ladies, this is my mother Zhou, and my name is Hu Yufen. I don't know what the two young ladies are called. Hu Yufen was worried about his own family for Yu Xin.

"My name is Guo Yu, this is my young lady, surnamed Liu." Guo Yu made a conservative introduction.

"Yo, these two little girls are so beautiful, just like the fairies in the sky descending to earth, especially this little girl, really like Guanyin on the New Year's painting, under the Bodhisattva's seat, just like a child." The old woman, perhaps fearing that others would come to her house, hurriedly greeted the two of them.

Yuxin's master and servant entered the courtyard, and saw that on a chair with a back in the courtyard, there was a gray-haired man sitting on the back of his head, with a wooden hairpin behind his head, and the gray coarse cloth shirt was full of patches, but it was clean and tidy, and the whole courtyard was also very clean and tidy.

"It's too dark in the house, it's better to be bright outside, two young ladies, just sit in the yard!" The young woman named Yufan handed over two bamboo sticks, and when she saw that the two of them were sitting, she took out a low table from the house and placed it in front of them. Then he was busy going to the kitchen and came out with a pot of water and two clay bowls. Then he put two more bowls in front of them and poured boiled water.

"Miss is really sorry, my family is too poor to afford tea, so you can just drink some boiled water!" Yu Fan said apologetically.

"It's okay, boiling water is best." Yu Xin's face was indifferent, and the water on the table did not show any displeasure, but was very happy.

looked at Yu Xin's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law carefully, and saw Yu Xin happily drink the water in the bowl, and finally couldn't help but exhale lightly.

"Miss, where did you come from, where are you going, how did you get to this poor country, it's not safe for you two little girls to go out. If you don't dislike it, I'll ask my son to take a leave to send you back, it stands to reason that our family doesn't need to ask anyone for leave, but now it's different, my son is working on the construction site of the Ruyi Manor road, today is the first day, the people of the Ruyi Manor, now they have done a great thing, this winter, we can live a happy winter in the village. You don't know, the people in our village are poor, the annual grain is talked about the country's tax burden, and the rest is only enough to eat for one or two months, but we only plant one season this year, which is really not enough to eat. When it comes to winter, the dolls are hungry and screaming, the adults are better, drink some water, and can bear it..."In this way, Mrs. Zhou chattered and digressed for a long time. The old lady may not know that this is more than 108,000 miles away from the beginning, and his son's topic of asking for leave.

"Grandma, I want to ask, what do we do in this village in winter?"

"What's the livelihood? In the winter, the men went to the state capital to work part-time, and the women were at home, taking care of the children and the elderly. ”

"I heard that there is a talent in our Zhuangzi, and the children in the Zhuangzi don't go to private schools7"

"I can't eat enough food, how can I have the money to go to a private school! Now the Xiucai in the village is teaching a few grandchildren of the village chief's family, and the children of other people's families are not this blessing. When the old lady said this, she felt numb and lost her enthusiasm for life.

"Grandma, don't be discouraged, you'll get better." Yu Xin comforted the old lady.

"Mother, it will definitely get better, you see, if the road is built this time, the mountain goods we pick up in the mountains in the future can also be sold from afar. In this way, you can also exchange more money to supplement the family. ”

Looking at the sky, it was not early, Yuxin's master and servant said goodbye to their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and went out. "Miss, you forgot to take your things, give it, hurry up and take it, don't lose it again this time."

"Old man, this is what I brought to you, you're welcome."

"No, no, this thing is too valuable, we can't accept it." These things may not be worth much in the eyes of the opposite sex at all? But for these people, who have not seen meat once in a year and a half, or even a year or two, it is the most precious gift. Several people pushed and shoved for a long time, and finally Yuxin put the things down, and on the small table, the master and servant used light skills to rush away.
