Chapter 31: Invincible (1)
Xiaoju really slept heavily this night, and when she woke up, it would be at least eight or nine o'clock in the evening. Zhuang Zhuang woke up early and had dinner with Xiao Ju Niang, and was playing with the small stones collected by Xiao Ju's original body on the kang at this time. And Xiao Ju Niang was sewing clothes for Zhuang Zhuang in the dim tung oil light.
Xiao Ju looked at the mother who was seriously mending her clothes, playing happily, and she felt a sense of happiness in her heart. Xiao Ju Niang looked up and saw Xiao Ju with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ju, why don't you get up when you wake up?" Hungry, right? Mother is helping you warm corn paste on the stove! As he spoke, he walked out the door.
Xiao Ju saw through the open hall door that it was dark outside, and hurriedly said, "Mother, it's too dark outside!" No way out of sight! Grab the tung oil lamp! ”
"No, you don't! Your own home, familiar with the way! Not to mention just a few steps! You wait, I'll go to the kitchen and help you bring the tamale! Before Xiao Ju Niang's words fell, this person had already disappeared into the darkness.
In just a few minutes, Xiao Ju Niang came in in the dark with a big bowl of hot corn paste. Xiao Ju hurriedly got up from the pit, set up the kang table, took the bowl of corn paste and drank it. She was indeed hungry, so a large bowl of corn paste was drunk into her stomach in a few gulps, and she felt six or seven points full.
Xiao Ju Niang watched Xiao Ju stretch out her little tongue to brighten up the bowl, and couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Ju, it looks like you haven't eaten enough?" Xiao Ju looked at the bowl in her hand that had been added clean, and couldn't help but be a little shy, but looking at her mother's smiling eyes, she couldn't help but say a little shyly: "Mother, I'm not trying not to waste food!" ”
Xiao Ju Niang looked at Xiao Ju's embarrassed little appearance, and nodded busily and agreed: "Hmm! My little chrysanthemum is good! Not only is he smart and capable, but he is also very good at running a house, and the bowls that have been eaten are so clean that they don't need to be washed! ”
When Xiaoju heard this, she looked up at her mother in surprise, but she didn't expect her mother to be so humorous! Xiao Ju Niang saw Xiao Ju looking at her in a daze, and couldn't help but smile and stretched out her hand to soften Xiao Ju's head and said, "What?" Don't know your mother? ”
"Wow, mother, I didn't expect you to be so good at praising people!" Xiaoju looked at her mother with starry eyes.
Xiao Ju Niang looked at Xiao Ju like this and sighed: "Xiao Ju, my mother was also a famous smart and capable girl with a hearty personality in Liu Zhuang back then!" It's just that after marrying your father, because life is too difficult, your grandparents' hearts are too open, and your father is too stupid, so he doesn't like to talk! ”
"Mother, I don't like my grandparents, and those people in my uncle's and second uncle's family! None of them are good people! Every time I went over, a few cousins bullied me, and when they saw it, they not only didn't help me, but also helped scold me! Zhuang Zhuang came back to his senses from his stone game and interjected.
"Zhuangzhuang, my mother will never let you be bullied like this again in the future! Whoever dares to bully your two sisters and brothers, my mother will fight with whom! Xiao Ju Niang's eyes were red and she hugged Zhuang Zhuang, and she promised.
"Mother, let's stay away in the future and ignore them!" Xiao Ju was worried that her mother would fall into the kind of love she had some time ago, and she lost her mind, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to comfort her.
"Well, Xiaoju is right! After escaping this time, we will leave Hujiazhuang and never come back! ”
Xiao Ju Niang nodded.
However, sometimes people's calculations are always not as fast as heaven's calculations, and plans are not as fast as changes. Xiaoju's family of three only lived a peaceful life in Huzhuang's house for a few days, and it was broken.
On this day, Xiao Ju Niang was closing the door, and the family of three was sitting at the kang table eating breakfast. Because there are often fragrant egg cakes fried by Xiao Ju at home, although Xiao Ju Niang doesn't know where Xiao Ju got it, she didn't ask much, but every meal, she had to close the door carefully, so as not to be seen by the person who suddenly broke in, and couldn't explain clearly.
Early that morning, they ate cabbage soup and gave them egg cakes. When the lady was eating and laughing, there was a sudden knock on the cellar door, Xiao Ju and Niang looked at each other in surprise, and then stuffed the egg cake in their hands into their stomachs in a few bites, and Zhuang Zhuang quickly swallowed his share. Xiao Ju quickly put the dishes on the table into the space, and Xiao Ju Niang carefully checked around to see if there was anything wrong that would be found inappropriate.
In a few minutes, the person knocking on the door outside obviously began to become impatient, and his strength increased, and the door, which was not very strong, began to creak under this vigorous knocking.
Xiao Ju Niang hurriedly asked, "Who?" He walked towards the crumbling door. And Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang looked at the door that was being bullied with a worried face. It seems that the person who came is not good!
As soon as Xiao Juniang opened the door, she was surprised to see the person standing outside the door and said, "Third brother? Fourth brother? Sixth brother? Parents? You're all here! ”
When Xiao Ju heard her mother's call, she felt a little bad in her heart, these relatives who had almost never been in contact with her were gathered at the door of her house today, and it seemed that something unfavorable to her family was going to happen again.
"Oh, aren't the fifth brother and sister crazy? How to look so clear! Hu San and Hu Si were a little surprised and puzzled, and couldn't help blurting out.
Hu Shi couldn't help frowning when he saw Xiao Ju Niang with a clear face. Originally, everyone thought that Xiao Ju Niang was a crazy woman, and when the time came, drive her out, and then sell the small one, you can easily occupy these kiln houses, and when Hu Daring comes back, it can also be said that his daughter-in-law is crazy, I don't know where to run, and it can be regarded as an explanation.
"What? Doesn't the third brother and the fourth brother want to see that the younger brother and daughter-in-law are an understanding person? Xiao Ju Niang smiled on her face, but her eyes flashed with a light of indifference and hatred.
Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang had already gotten off the kang and stood quietly by Xiao Ju Niang's side. Xiao Ju looked at the large group of people standing outside her door, and it seemed that the three families of the third uncle, the fourth uncle and the grandparents were all here. Xiao Ju thought about it for a while, and then she understood that it must be that the houses of these three families were burned down by Japanese soldiers and there was no place to live, so she put on the idea of a broken cave in their house.
"How do you become a daughter-in-law? Mom and Dad have been standing here for so long, and I didn't even see you open your mouth to let them in and sit! Hu San, who had been standing next to Hu San, suddenly spoke.
"That's it! This is too unfilial! Hu Sishi also added oil.
"What about audacity? Let him out! See what kind of daughter-in-law he married? The daughter-in-law is not good, and she is not polite to even take these two little ghosts! When they saw us, they not only didn't shout, but they stood there staring at us! Hu said with an unhappy face.
"Zhuangzhuang, where's your father?" Old man Hu is also starting to be unhappy! He and his wife have been standing here for so long, and this unfilial son has not shown up yet, and he is really getting more and more bold.
"Oh? Are you here to find Hu Daring? I'm sorry, we haven't seen him in a long time! Xiao Ju Niang was still uninteresting at the gate, and said lukewarmly.
