Chapter 43: The Youth's Heart

After dinner, Dashan washed up and lay down on the kang early. Thinking about today's daytime, he really didn't have the appetite to eat, and he was afraid that his family would worry about it, so he held on until the end of dinner, and he didn't light a candle, and touched the quilt on his body in a daze along his memory.

Half an hour later, the door creaked open, and a candle was lit. Dashan immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, seeing a bulging ball on the kang, Wen was also startled, and when he saw that it was Dashan who had "fallen asleep", he was a little surprised: "This kid went to bed early tonight." ”

"Hurry up and wash and sleep, I'll be busy tomorrow." Li Qiang yawned, he was tired these days. After eating, he washed his hands and face, turned his head and fell asleep, which provoked Wen to scold a few more words, forcing Li Qiang to get up and change his clothes and sleep again, Li Qiang slept so dazed that his eyes didn't open, and let Wen change into clean clothes and lie down immediately.

Wen threw Li Qiang's clothes into the wooden basin and instructed Qiaoqiao: "Take this basin behind the door, and remember to wash it tomorrow morning." ”

Qiaoqiao, who was washing Tie Zhu's feet, immediately did as Wen said, Tie Zhu sat on the small bench and was stunned for a moment, then picked up the foot-wiping cloth on the small round bench next to him, put one foot on the knee of the other leg, and wiped his feet a little awkwardly.

"I slept like a pig, and you didn't even know if I sold it." Wen complained with some dissatisfaction, pulled over the neatly folded quilt and began to make the bed, and pushed Li Qiang again: "Sleep better, you will occupy the kang head alone, how can we sleep?" ”

Although Li Qiang slept in a daze, he also twisted his body to make some way.

"Wow-" The iron pillar was useless, the stool overturned, and a butt pier fell firmly to the ground, and the foot-washing water also spilled out, and immediately tore his throat and cried.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Li Qiang, who was awakened by the cry of the iron pillar, raised his head sideways, opened his eyes without focus, and asked towards the source of the sound.

"It's okay, sleep on yours." Wen felt sorry for Li Qiang, prevaricated, and stretched his legs on the kang with both hands to reach for his shoes.

"Oh, what's wrong with my mother's good iron pillar? Don't cry, don't cry, my sister is not good, my mother will beat her later to vent her anger for our iron pillar. Wen picked up the iron pillar and coaxed, while turning his head and scolding Qiaoqiao: "How do you do things, your brother is still young, you let him wipe his feet by himself, what if he breaks it?" You're a sister who does things so carelessly, you haven't been itchy for a few days, right? ”

Hearing that he was going to be beaten, Qiaoqiao shrank her neck in fear. Wen seems to be good to the child, it is to the two sons of Dashan and Tiezhu, and there are many traces of Wen's pinching in the invisible places covered by Qiaoqiao's clothes. She doesn't know why her mother treats her like this, isn't she her biological daughter? Even if she dislikes that she is a daughter, isn't her mother a woman? Thinking of the hardships he had endured over the years, Qiaoqiao's tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes, and he said with some grievances: "I want to bring the wooden basin to the door first and then help my brother."

Before he finished speaking, Wen's action of helping Tie Zhu wipe his tears stopped, and he turned his head and scolded sharply: "If you do something wrong, you don't know how to repent and keep a strong mouth, who did you learn from, ah?!" The basin is sitting there and it won't get in the way, why don't you help your brother wash his feet before he goes? ”

Qiaoqiao lowered her head and bit her lip and didn't dare to answer, but the hand holding the wooden basin tightened, and her strength was so strong that even her knuckles began to turn white. Li Qiang, who was asleep, also frowned and turned over.

"What are you doing there with a wooden stake and pestle, why don't you quickly pour the water for washing your feet?" Wen kicked the footbath, and the footwashing water in it spilled out again: "I want my heart for everything in the family, and I still have you little ones after serving the old, I really don't know what sins I created in my last life, and gave birth to you debt collectors."

Wen scolded and spoke, mixed with the sound of sobbing iron pillars and the creak of opening the door, Dashan knew that this was his sister going out to wash her feet, he sighed, and pulled the quilt up to cover his head.

It wasn't until the whole family went to rest on the kang and blew out the candles that the house was completely dark, and Dashan stretched out his head and exhaled softly. Somehow, he always felt that Brother Wen Han didn't want to give that brush to himself, he turned over and touched the cypress board under the pillow, thinking about the way Brother Wen Han was waving on the white paper today, he really wanted to have a brush. Dashan is full of the brush, if he doesn't ask more, it should be in his hands now, thinking of this, Dashan is a little annoyed, and he can't fall asleep over and over.

Wen Shi heard the movement, propped up half of his body, and said softly: "Dashan, what's wrong with you, people are not feeling well?" ”

Dashan immediately shook his head and said, "No." It was a bit hot and I went to sleep right away. After that, he lay flat and obediently closed his eyes, he had just made up his mind, isn't it just animal hair, what's so difficult about this.

The mountains are weird these days, and in the past, when I did something, I would go to find a few people who had a good time to play, but now I stay in the house after I finish what I am told, and I hold a broken wooden board all day long to write and draw on it, and I don't show her it, so it's mysterious. Wen's is a little strange, does Dashan want to study? I remember that when Goudan went to the school, she asked Dashan if he wanted to go to the school, but this kid shook his head without thinking about it. Although Dashan was not used to asking why Yu's son went to the school at that time, Dashan himself was unwilling to go, and the Wen family didn't force it, didn't want to learn Isn't it a waste of silver? But at this moment, Dashan's actions clearly seemed to be secretly working hard, and it was dark in the room that he couldn't see Dashan's expression clearly, so Wen kept this action for a while before lying down again.

The next day, Li Wu and the dog were sent away, and the Li family was on duty again.

"What's going on with the dog, why did you get the ink on your back when you practiced calligraphy. It must be that this kid is not serious in the school again. Yu smeared soap on the ink spots on the dog's clothes and rubbed them gently. Soap, a luxury item of 100 yuan, can only be enjoyed by the whole family, and the only thing the whole family can enjoy, and even the Yu family is reluctant to do their own laundry. Every time Yu finished using the soap, he dried it with a cloth, wrapped it carefully, and put it in his room to use it next time.

Dashan listened to Yang Liu's instructions, and took advantage of the good sun to bring out the apricot kernels that had been dried a few days ago to prepare for drying and putting them away, and just happened to pass by and heard Yu's muttering, so he opened his mouth to explain: "Second uncle, this must have been accidentally touched by Brother Wen Han when he practiced wild grass." ”

"What wild grass?" Yu was a little baffled.

Dashan was also stunned all of a sudden, didn't the second uncle know? Brother Wen Han didn't say that he was the second uncle

But Yu Shi immediately became happy: "This kid is okay, I know that I have worked hard, and it is not in vain that I love him so much." When he comes back next time, I'll make him a big plate of braised pork.

The smile on Yu's face couldn't be hidden, his steps were fluttering, and he went to clean his clothes with a wooden basin.

Dashan stood there, feeling a little mixed for a moment. It turned out that it was really the same as he thought, Brother Wen Han was really unwilling to use the brush he threw away for himself, although he called his brother and brother, he was not a brother in the end

For the first time, the little man felt that people had grown up so complicated, thinking that he had helped the dog to fight, but the result was a tragic victory, the two came home with a blue nose and swollen face and were scolded for a long time, grandma scolded with a black face on it, the two knelt on the ground and bowed their heads and winked at each other with a smile, and now he is reluctant to even give up a waste brush

Immediately Dashan's expression became firm, the fifth aunt said that the knowledge in the stomach cannot be stolen, and he can't give up his original decision because of others, isn't it just a brush made of animal hair, and he can't help it.

After a while, Dashan looked at the half-handful of pig hair in his hand and smiled a little proudly, if these pig hairs were washed and made into two brushes, it would be enough. These pigs slept so deeply, and they all cut their hair on them for a while, except for the occasional fanning of their ears, they didn't open their eyes, they were really stupid pigs.

Halfway through, Wen suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to tell Dashan about something, so he folded it out. The courtyard door was wide open, but there was no one in sight, and Wen couldn't find it, and finally saw the mountain standing in the pigsty, and couldn't help but ask with a little anger: "Dashan, what are you doing standing in the pigsty?" "I think your wife is easy, so you have to get your clothes dirty and wash them, don't you?

Dashan was satisfied at this time, turned his head and shouted with a smile, and he was about to turn out as soon as he put his hand on the bar. Wen Shi saw the scissors in his hand clearly, and immediately his face changed, and he took a few steps forward and grabbed the scissors, and slapped the back of Dashan's head: "Bastard thing, it's not that you are not allowed to touch the old lady's scissors." "This pair of scissors is the only thing left behind by Wen's mother after she ran away from home, and she has always cherished it, and she is very careful when she usually uses it, and she often sharpens it. Wen often told a few children not to touch it, but he didn't expect the always steady mountain to be taken out to play.

The pig in the pigsty stood up in fright by Wen's voice, yelled at Wen, and the pig's nose arched the leg of Gong Dashan. Dashan was a little stunned, he was frightened by Wen's sudden action just now, and the pig hair he finally cut fell into the pigsty, and was stepped into the pig manure by the pig's hooves. ”

"Pig hair, pig hair, use your mother's scissors to cut pig hair." Wen's slapped down again, distressed and angry, except for the occasional shearing thread, he was reluctant to use it, but Dashan used it to cut pig hair: "How old are you still playing with these children's things, you have nothing to do when you are full!" ”

"What do you know?" Dashan stiffened his neck and roared: "You are my mother, but you don't know anything, you don't care about anything, you know that you will yell at me to call my sister." Are you my mother, are you my own mother?! Dashan wiped away his tears, kicked the pig who arched his legs, and ran out of the pigsty with one hand on the railing.
