Chapter 319: Erlang's Thoughts
"Stinky boy, your food is really good." After three rounds of drinking, the old stubborn squinted his eyes and praised drunkly.
"That's natural, my mother is very famous in our hometown. Belch! When I was a child, I followed, I followed my eldest brother on the street. Many people whispered that this was someone's child. "Wei'er is also drinking for the first time, and she feels that her head is fluttering.
"Still famous? The old man is also famous here. The old stubborn pouted and tapped the plate with chopsticks.
"You know what? Do you know me, how powerful my mother is? My mother opened a good restaurant by herself, and the people below all listened to her. Do you know how powerful my eldest brother is? My eldest brother is a good reader, and he is the youngest of us. Gongsheng, do you understand? It's the person who went to take the imperial examination, and my eldest brother's husband is even more powerful, and he is a county magistrate. Do you know my sister, how powerful my sister is? Let me tell you, my sister is beautiful. It's the prettiest woman I've ever seen, oh no, the prettiest woman except my mother. Belch! Wei'er straightened her eyes and tongue wide, and patted her chest proudly with a red face and boasted to his master.
"What about your father? Your dad isn't great? The old stubborn man picked up a piece of pickled cucumber from the plate and put it in his mouth.
"My dad?" Wei'er murmured, and a sad expression appeared on her face: "When I was a child, I thought my father didn't care for me at all, and he liked my sister the most." And he listens to his mother for everything, and he is not good at all. Later, I saw that my dad could kick a big tree and told me that I was most like him when he was younger. He told me that when he was younger, he fought all over the village, and I didn't believe it, I think he must have bragged. Afterward. My dad wanted to protect my mother and ...... us." Wei'er was about to cry with red eyes.
"Alright, alright. You Lao Tzu is dead, I know how to say......" The old stubborn man didn't let him continue.
"My dad isn't dead, my dad is fine." Wei'er suddenly raised her head and shouted fiercely.
"Ah, not dead, not dead." The old stubborn thought he was in a temper, but he actually followed his words.
"When you're done eating, you can take your stuff and go home. I'm going to sleep, old man, Ming'er remembered to come and work! The old stubborn man rolled over and lay down. I didn't take off my clothes, and when I hugged them, I snored on the pillow.
Wei'er pouted, packed up the dishes, chopsticks and plates, put them in the basket, and staggered out. It was just dark before the moon came out. The breeze blew, and Wei'er shook her head smartly.
Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he actually told so many secrets. Fortunately, the old man was not suspicious, otherwise it would have been a big disaster.
Seeing his son come home drunk, Dong Xiaoman took the basket in his hand a little helplessly. frowned and reprimanded: "I was drunk at a young age, how bad is this for my body." ”
Wei'er said with a smile: "Mother, it's okay, I'm not drunk." Erya helped Wei'er and smiled: "I also said that I didn't drink too much." You see, I'm shaking when I walk. Let's go in and wash our faces, we're ready for bed." ”
Dong Xiaoman knew that this was Erya's exculpation for his son. Glaring angrily at his son, he turned around and went back to his room.
Erya came out of Wei'er's room and saw that his mother hadn't slept yet. went in and whispered: "Today is the first day, of course the master and apprentice have to celebrate." It's not like it's not like the children's family drinks so much, and the boys don't get in the way. Dong Xiaoman frowned and said: "It's not that you don't know his character, I'm afraid that he will cause a big disaster after he develops the habit of drinking." ”
Erya sneered: "What kind of disaster can you cause?" Isn't that one of your family also the winners who can eat, drink, and fight? This man should be like a man, and he should be as polite and polite as Jue'er. ”
Dong Xiaoman pursed his lips, tilted his head and quipped, "Yes, yes." It should be like your family captain Chi, who bare his arms and cheeks to eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl is called a man. ”
Erya blushed: "If you tell you something serious, you won't be on the right track." After speaking, he pushed Dong Xiaoman and ran away.
Dong Xiaoman shook his head, blew out the lamp and lay down alone. I couldn't fall asleep over and over, and all I could think about was the scene where she was with Erlang.
I didn't think this man was perfect before, and I didn't even like him very much. When he first got married, he hesitated, and his cousin's wife was stupid and couldn't tell the difference. When the family was separated, everyone was stupid and couldn't tell the difference. For the sake of his family to be a soldier and fight, starting a business after coming back can be regarded as a progress. After going to sea, he became much more mature and more ambitious. I was worried that he would swell and even accept the beauties sent by others, but I didn't expect him to give it to himself as a maid.
Now that he is in prison, he has begun to feel that this person can actually be entrusted with life. It's ridiculous to think about it, I have given birth to three children, and I feel that I can be entrusted with it for life.
Wei'er's master was eccentric, and according to him, the old man was sometimes happy and sometimes angry. I'll teach you everything when I'm happy, and I'll just take him home when I'm unhappy.
"This firewood chop is really beautiful, you see that the size of the general stack is comfortable to look at together. I can't bear to use it for fire, this is Wei'er's split? Erya looked at the new firewood that looked like a hill, and then looked at the similar firewood next to it. couldn't help but joke to Wei Chi: "You can't even compare to a child with firewood, and you have been a soldier." ”
Wei Chi also came over and saw Wei'er chopping firewood, and exclaimed: "Wei'er's knife skills are practiced very accurately, it seems that he is indeed a good master." ”
Dong Xiaoman walked over and took the firewood and asked, "Can this also be seen?" Wei Chi nodded: "This is the basic skill of fighting, the hunter must first ensure that the knife in his hand is sharp." ”
Erya said: "I think this is very similar to our original cook's method of training apprentices, even if you practice, you should also practice archery." The accuracy of the shooting is the one, I think the old man just let Wei'er do the hard work. ”
Wei'er wiped the sweat on her body, took out an arrow from the room and said to Erya: "My archery skills are also very good, although I can't penetrate Yang in a hundred steps." ”
Dong Xiaoman noticed that his son's originally strong body was full of muscles, and he remembered that he didn't have so many muscles when he was strong before.
Wei Chi raised his head and looked at the sky, pointed to the birds flying in the sky and said, "Then shoot the birds, get a few more and fry them at noon." ”
"That's not easy." Wei'er pulled up the bow and opened her fingers easily, and the arrow shot out of the arrow as soon as it was searched. The swallow fell straight down, and Wei'er picked up the swallow and beckoned to his mother proudly.
Dong Xiaoman took the swallow and said with a smile: "You are really good, when did you practice so well." Wei'er said proudly: "My master asks me to shoot in the eyes of rabbits every time, and even if I don't shoot crookedly." ”
Dong Xiaoman continued: "I don't like to eat swallows, can you fight the little house sparrow?" I prefer to eat the little house sparrow, which is so delicious when fried. ”
Wei'er nodded: "Of course you can, mother, you can just take a look." ”
Seeing Wei'er confidently running out of the road, Erya said to Dong Xiaoman: "Aren't you embarrassed for him, that bird is so small and on such a tall tree." When will he be able to save a meal, it's easy to take a day off and let him rest and rest. ”
Dong Xiaoman turned around and walked to the kitchen: "He doesn't toss all over the body for a day, let him do some work and play." Do you think he's really doing it? He's showing us off, children like that. Let him play, save me from bothering me at home. ”
Erya asked while packing up the fish, "Does he still want to go see Erlang again?" ”
Dong Xiaoman nodded: "Since I went up, I have been arguing that I have to go every time in the future." I'm not at ease, and besides, I don't like to let my children go to that kind of place. ”
When Jiro saw his son for the second time, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he had grown much taller. Touching his head, he asked in surprise, "Are you taller than your mother?" ”
Wei'er nodded: "Well, my mother said that the clothes she made can't keep up with me." I want to grow slower! ”
Erlang smiled with satisfaction: "It seems that she is doing well." ”
Wei'er shook her head: "She's not having a good time at all. Aunt Ya is married, and no one plays with her mother. Jiro asked, "Who did you marry?" ”
"Uncle Wei Chi."
"It's him, this person is good, Erya has a good eye." Erlang nodded, and Erya also had a place. It was a good thing, but he still had other things on his mind.
"How is your sister? Those boys are not good at stubble, and they must not let her be bullied. Tell your mother, there is still money in the family, don't let your sister wade into that troubled water. She is a delicate girl's family, don't learn from that shrew. After speaking, he thought of Jue'er: "Your eldest brother has been a rich and noble man who likes to be blind since he was a child, let him deal with your uncle, don't pollute his temperament." My fall ruined his future. I can't pass the test, and I'm sorry for him. You tell your mother, I have some friends in Siam and other places. can let Jue'er go over there to make a big splash, and that side does not limit his future. ”
After finishing talking about the two children, he looked at Wei'er again and said, "Among the three children, you are the most like me." Temperament, even the means of causing trouble are the same as mine. So I am also most assured of you, I will leave your mother to you to take care of. You're better than me, at least you haven't taken a detour. Your mother is not yet thirty years old, and if I have a mistake in the future, you will have to take care of her for the rest of your life. She is still young, and it is a grievance to marry me. If there is a suitable one, don't stop her from knowing the way? ”
Hearing her father's words, Wei'er's eyes widened: "You, do you want your mother to remarry?" ”
Erlang nodded and said, "Your mother is not an ordinary woman, and the marriage between the two of us was not chosen by herself." In the past ten years, I have suffered a lot, and she still has forty or fifty years to live. I've thought about it, if your mother chooses by herself, she will definitely choose a good man. Therefore, if she wants to get married, you must remember not to stop her. ”
Wei'er came home and stumbled to tell Dong Xiaoman these words, and as she spoke, her eyes were aimed at her mother's expression...... (To be continued......)
