Chapter 68: Patience

In August, it was early autumn, the sun was still full of fire cruising in the sky, and Mu Lin, who was left in the village by Lin Ruhai, was in the hot afternoon, closed the front and rear windows, let the sweat penetrate his clothes, and did not want to open the windows to let in the wind.

It's not that he doesn't want to open the window, but the thought of the smell of being sent in with the wind after opening the window makes him want to vomit. Mu Lin shook the fan in his hand vigorously, he really couldn't think clearly, he was going to come here to abuse himself. If you were at home, you would have put an iceberg in the house, and it would be so hot there. He wiped his face casually, wiped the beads of sweat from his face, and threw it on the ground casually, and then he was stunned, when would he have such a vulgar action.

Look at his dress again, the green cloth shirt has long been removed, and the underwear of the fine white cloth has also been pulled off by him, and he is only wearing a pair of silk pants, he really hates to strip himself naked now, but Zuihou's shame makes him sit here so stiffly. Repeatedly introspection, how did he end up in this field.

When he thought he was in the prime minister's house, the incense smoked in the room was not allowed to be used, and in the summer, he was not even allowed to light the incense, only folded a few half-bloomed flowers in the morning and placed them on the desk to take their natural fragrance. Now, he thinks that even if there are a few incense sticks, they are all haode, at least they can smoke the house.

Just thinking about it, suddenly the courtyard door was slammed, and a man's thick voice came: "Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu." ”

Mu Lin was stunned for a moment, then jumped off the kang, put the clothes back on himself, and thought while putting them on, fortunately, I learned how to dress myself in the past two days, otherwise I don't know how to have a headache now.

Before leaving the room, Mu Lin took a deep breath. It took courage to open the door, "Lee." Brother Li, what's the matter? It was very difficult for Mu Lin to call out this title. He is really reluctant, a peasant man can be called his eldest brother, it is really a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes.

Li Dazhuang smiled innocently, and raised the firewood in his hand, "Zhuangtou said, let me send some firewood to Mr. Mu to use, I'm afraid that you can't cook, let me teach you." ”

Belch...... Yes, he also cooks for himself. Mu Lin got out of the way. watched Li Dazhuang resist a large bundle of firewood and enter the hospital, and threw it at the kitchen door. He looked down at his white hands, he had never held anything heavier than a pen, and he had never done any rough work. Occasionally picking up a hairpin for his wife and putting it on, it is already a job.

He followed Li Dazhuang into the kitchen in a daze, looked at the cauldron, and under his guidance, hurriedly put firewood into the stove, and the result of zuihou was a room full of black smoke. He was smoked out, his eyes were choked red, but Li Dazhuang couldn't come out, and he made a new stove. The black smoke slowly dispersed.

Then he washed the rice and cooked the rice, washed and cut the vegetables, and told him how to cut the meat...... zuihou。 He successfully cut the shredded meat and made three cuts on his hands. Stay until the meat is served on the meal. Mu Lin hugged his still sore hand, wanting to cry without tears.

I took a pair of chopsticks and put brown rice in my mouth. He chewed hard, frowned and swallowed, only to feel that the rice grains were too rough and his throat hurt. On the table, there were two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, but that made him have no appetite. In this way, in his opinion, Li Dazhuang was so envious of the food that was only suitable for feeding the pigs, and said that if he didn't go out to help the cook, he wouldn't be able to eat such a haode thing at home.

He asked, "Then what do you use on weekdays?" ”

Li Dazhuang smiled, scratched his head with his thick hand, and said embarrassedly: "Multigrain cakes and pickles, it's better now, there are vegetables planted in my yard and in the ground, if it's winter and spring, I can only eat cakes." ”

Mu Lin sighed for a moment and gave him most of his dinner. Speaking of which, it's not that Mu Lin is stingy and refuses to keep people to eat, it's really that he feels that he can't swallow half a grain of rice when he eats with this Li Dazhuang.

At night, there was only a small oil lamp in the house, and the light was dim, so he could only sleep indiscriminately, and when he woke up the next day, his whole body was in terrible pain. Mu Lin grinned and forced himself to move his body for a moment before he wanted to fetch water to wash his face, but someone outside was already calling the door.

When I opened the door, a string of children, large and small, under the leadership of their respective parents, were waiting outside the door early. As soon as they saw him, they shouted, "Hello sir." "It's all over the place, and it's not neat at all.

Since Mu Lin grew up like this, for the first time, he came to see someone without washing his face, and he only felt that he had no place to put his face. Coupled with the fact that he had sweated all day yesterday and had not taken a shower, he felt that he had already stinked. Involuntarily took a few steps back, and said awkwardly, "Come in." ”

In this courtyard, the east room and the main hall of the three main rooms were used as a school, and he rested in the west room. At this time, tables, chairs and benches had been set up in the main hall and the east room, as well as his bookcase, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a number of Mongolian books, which had been placed. Even beside him, a wooden board was erected, and a blank piece of paper was sandwiched on it, which he used to give lectures.

In the country school, most of the students were the sons of peasant households, so how much spare money did they have to buy things in the study, so there was a sand table on the desk, which had been filled with fine sand, and there were branches on the side of the sand table, which they used to write.

"Sit down." Mu Lin hurriedly took care of himself in the western room, let these big and small children take their seats, and sat down in front of him, cleared his throat and prepared to start the first class.

Dafan Mengxue all started with the Three Character Sutra, and this is no exception. He memorized a passage first, and then asked the students to memorize it with him. He reads a sentence, and they read a sentence. After memorizing the four sentences, Mu Lin first wrote down all the four sentences on the paper, and pointed to the words: "This is the human ......."

He spoke so dry that he stopped, drank a sip of water, and asked the students to practice their own words.

Uh, this stroke order is wrong. He planned to correct it by hand, but looking at the little black hand, he hesitated for a while and picked up another branch and taught him slowly.

The little boy learned to write a few times, looked up and smiled at Mu Lin, "Sir, I will." ”

The two were so close that the baby didn't know what to eat in the morning, anyway, Mu Lin felt an indescribable smell rushing straight to his nose, so smoked that he didn't spit out the overnight meal. barely maintained his dignity as a gentleman, and was mentored by another person. This time, the boy was smaller, probably a little cold. The snot kept running, and he only wiped it with his hand. wiped all the yellow on his hands and face, and Mu Lin cracked in an instant.

It's easy to stay up until you rest. Ordered these children to go out, a few naughty cheers jumped out, and then undressed and took off their pants to release water on the spot, and even one planned to solve the big one under his window, and then was grabbed by his brother's ears, and he could still hear the voice of his brother educating his younger brother in the distance, "How can you be under the gentleman's window?" ”

Before he could be relieved, he heard, "Waste." How many times have I told you, I have to go to my own thatched house! ”

Mu Lin: The three views of "......" were shattered, and they could never be fought back.

Mu Lin stayed up for a long day at most, and when he took a lunch break, he told these babies that they didn't need to come in the afternoon. Then he quickly ran to Zhuangzi and asked Zhuangtou to send him back to the capital. Nima, he just saw a lot of small bugs on the heads of several babies, and now he has itchy bodies. Boom. Like the sea, I can't support it anymore. Nima, in this life, I have honestly studied hard and worked hard as an official. Don't do such stupid things as elopement anymore!

Lin Ruhai had just finished discussing with a few of his relatives and asked them to find someone to beat him up, and it was best to beat him so that he couldn't get out of bed for a month.

Xuanyi has the deepest attainments in the aspect. patted his chest: "Uncle, leave it to me." "When he didn't follow Rong Guogong back then, he was a tyrant on the street. Until now, among the various underground shili in the capital, there are many of his younger brothers.

Sixiang seemed suspicious when he saw the uncle. hurriedly made a guarantee: "Xuanyi was also a famous figure in the capital at the beginning, but then he accidentally killed someone and was assigned to the army." Later, I met Grandpa Guo again, and he was taken by him as a personal soldier, which is why I have today. Hehe, now he still has many brothers, how can he give some face. ”

Lin Ruhai's expression was complicated: "It's not that I'm not at ease, but I'm just taking too heavy a shot from you." He can only accept a fat beating, that kind of waste beating of arms and legs or something, it is really not within his acceptable range, let alone asking for a small life or something.

Xuan Yi smiled, "Don't worry, uncle, the small one who is looking for someone to take care of the insurance is all successful, and he will only suffer some flesh and skin, and nothing else." With that, he turned and walked away.

Lin Ruhai went back to learn from Jia Min and sighed: "My father-in-law is really capable." ”

Jia Min frowned and said, "Why didn't you take the opportunity to give the order and castrate him directly?" "This kind of scumbag should be castrated.

Lin Ruhai subconsciously put his legs together and said with a dry smile: "This ...... You don't need this, right? ”

"It's also a disability, our family still has to support him, and we have to treat him, it's not cost-effective at all." Jia Min said, "People like him should be sent directly to the Shuntianfu prison and imprisoned for ten or eight years, or sold to that mine to do hard labor, so as to eliminate his sins." ”

Jia Min said it lightly, but Lin Ruhai could hear the cool breeze on his back. He could see that Jia Min was really angry, maybe this Zhang Cheng had done something hurtful to let his wife know.

"Uncle, the little man on the second door talked back and forth, saying that Zhuang Tou brought Uncle Mu to look for you." Lumei didn't enter the house, so she stood outside the curtain and replied directly.

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, then smiled, got up to change his clothes, and said to Jia Min: "I'm still thinking about how long Mu Lin can last." I thought I could last three days, but I didn't expect to come back in one day. ”

Jia Min also got up to help him straighten his clothes, and when he heard this, he laughed at him, "Didn't we just stay for half a day, and then we cried and cried to go home." It's still the eldest brother who pressed us down, and he didn't let us go. ”

"Haha, too, I shouldn't laugh at Mu Lin." Lin Ruhai cleaned himself up, and let Jia Min see if there was anything wrong with him.

Jia Min took a few steps back, shook his fan, looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can go." ”

Lin Ruhai saw that there was no one in the house, walked over quickly, slapped Jia Min's face, and walked out in three steps and two steps. Just about to lift the curtain, he suddenly remembered something, and turned around to predict, but Jia Min preemptively said: "I will tell them to prepare bath water, and then send over a set of clothes that you have not put on, as well as purses, handkerchiefs, fans, fan covers, jade pendants, sachets and other things." ”

"Hehe, it's still a lady's heart."

"When he takes a bath, ask the three people next to you to give Mu Gongzi a good press, he will be afraid that he won't even be able to walk."

"Hahahahaha, I see." Lin Ruhai daxiao went out with the curtain.

A few people from Cuizhu outside just came in, and when Jia Min saw that Zhuqing was not there, he sank his face and called Mei Qing: "Go and tell Zhuqing, let her be relieved, am I the kind of person who sends my own girl to the fire pit." ”

"Hmph, I'm going to put my words here today, but you don't have a heart to climb the high branches, and I will make decisions for you. When you reach the age, look for a good family, and then accompany a thick dowry, so that you can marry beautifully. It's just a subordinate, that is, the prince and grandson look down on you and ask for it, as long as you don't want to, I won't go against your will. ”

Cuizhu and Mo Ju glanced at each other, and they all knelt down to thank Jia Min with red faces.

"Alright, get up. I also know that Zhu Qing has been unable to open his heart for the past few days, but he has been bitten by a leper dog, not to mention that he is just a leper dog who has been bouncing for a few days. When it came to Zuihou, Jia Min sneered a few times.

Mo Ju and Cuizhu have been with her for a long time, and after they got married, they also served for a few days, and they can probably touch her mind. As soon as Jia Min said this, Cuizhu and the two knew that their girl must have made a move.

Sure enough, within a few days, I heard that Zhang Cheng was drunk and had an argument with someone, was beaten half to death, and was thrown in a dark alley. Mo Ju and the others thought of the soldiers that the girl and the master were coming, and they tacitly glanced at each other, and roughly knew who did it.

Besides, Lin Ruhai, when he arrived at the study in the front yard, Mu Lin was already seated, and he was writhing uncontrollably. Zhuang Tou laughed and stood aside.

As soon as he saw Lin Ruhai, Mu Lin immediately jumped up and shouted: "Ruhai ......" wanted to pounce, but he smelled the smell of sweat again, and immediately stopped, standing in place very embarrassed.

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Mu Lin, I have suffered. ”

Then he turned to Zhuang Tou and said, "Sir, I have already invited him, so I will call him to come and go back with you." "This time, Lin Ruhai's husband is also a student from the countryside, he didn't pass the exam, and he fell seriously ill again, and his money was almost exhausted, and he even searched for a few museums, but he was resigned. Lin Ruhai felt that it would be best for him to go to the township school to be a gentleman.

"Let him live in the village, and take care of him as soon as he lives."

"Yes, the little one will definitely take good care of Mr. Cui."

After sending the head of the village away, the little guys had already prepared the bath water, Lin Ruhai smiled at Mu Lin and said: "Yuan Hui went to bathe and change clothes, I asked someone to invite a few people to Runzhi, and today in my homeland, it is feasible to follow the example of the ancients?"
