Chapter 3: Please go down to the restaurant
After this Granny Li was kicked out of the Qin family, Fan Yu's family did not help less. Every time firewood, rice, oil, salt and clothes are sent to Granny Li's broken kiln, Fan Yu runs errands.
If it weren't for the Fan family's help, I'm afraid that this Granny Li would have died of cold and starvation.
Now that he was humiliated, Fan Yu wanted to leave on the spot. But Granny Li's next words relieved him.
Granny Li shook her head and said: "Brother Yu is a man, and the wife is a woman, this man and woman are different, and they are not a family, how can they live under the same roof." This is not in line with etiquette. ”
So it was, the anger in Fan Yu's heart suddenly disappeared, and the ancient etiquette and religion had to be defended. Otherwise, it would be really deadly.
"Since that's the case, it's better for me to find another way and not embarrass my mother-in-law." Fan Yu said helplessly.
"Don't worry, since the old woman said it, it's not that there is no way, but I'm afraid that Brother Yu will dislike the old woman Meng Lang." Granny Li smiled with the bamboo cane in her hand.
Fan Yu didn't understand what Granny Li meant, but this Granny Li shouldn't hurt herself.
After a slight hesitation, Fan Yu asked: "Mother-in-law, what are these words, how can I ever dislike my mother-in-law." What do you have to do to get the number of rites? ”
Granny Li's palm holding the bamboo cane tightened, and the knuckles of her fingers turned white, which showed that she was very nervous.
"Brother Yu, if you recognize my pickled old woman as your stepmother, wouldn't it be you, your righteous son, to live in my broken cave and fulfill his filial piety? In this way, who can gossip about my mother and son. Granny Li's voice trembled slightly.
Fan Yu suddenly realized that Granny Li had the idea. It must be that she is lonely, and seeing that she is homeless, she has the meaning of sympathy. Therefore, you have to accept yourself as a righteous son, and in addition to having a care, you can also enjoy some family fun.
guessed Granny Li's thoughts, Fan Yu was also a little moved. At this time, the other party is willing to take him in, which shows that people's hearts are not all cold. The other party is old, and it's nothing to recognize a stepmother.
"What should I do, mother-in-law has a good idea." Fan Yu praised with a smile.
"Don't you dislike my old woman for being poor and blind?" Granny Li asked in a trembling voice. Obviously, this matter is very important.
Fan Yu didn't care, and held Granny Li's arm and said, "When my father was in the Qin family, he was taken care of by his mother-in-law. Later, my mother-in-law came out of the Qin family, and my father has always been worried about my mother-in-law's kindness and has never disliked it. My mother-in-law has a lot of past with my family, and this is fate, and I, as a junior, recognize my mother-in-law as a stepmother, which is also a proper righteousness. Say no dislike, my mother-in-law is underestimating me. ”
After speaking, Fan Yu didn't wait for Granny Li to say more, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"The sky is above, from today onwards, I, Fan Yu, will recognize Granny Li as my stepmother!" Fan Yu said loudly: "My stepmother was willing to lend a helping hand when I was in danger, and I, Fan Yu, am grateful." As a mother and son, it is my bounden duty to support my mother-in-law, to support my mother-in-law every day, and to give my mother a hundred years later! Fan Yu, if I violate this oath, I will be told to die with five thunders and no place to be buried! ”
Although Granny Li's eyes were no longer able to see, she was also emotionally unable to help herself, and two lines of turbid tears poured out.
She stretched out her hand and groped for Fan Yu's location, babbling and choking, "Okay...... Good, good boy. Today, I will tell you that my mother's real name is Li Shunrong. If it weren't for the disaster, what if you were given a lifetime of wealth? Yu'er hurry up, hungry, right? Go back with your mother, and your mother will cook you cakes......"
Although Granny Li tried her best to endure it, she didn't know what kind of sad thing she remembered, and she couldn't stop the tears in her eyes.
Fan Yu didn't take his stepmother's words to heart, he was so good at talking, so he persuaded his stepmother. It is estimated that it was because of the touching of the scene, and the stepmother failed to control her emotions.
The two returned to the broken kiln outside the town.
Fan Yu came to the broken cave a few times, but he didn't stay too long. Now that this place has become his own foothold, he has the heart to take a closer look.
If you want to say that it is really broken, it is to dig such a soil hole on the hillside, and Fan Yu is afraid of bumping his head when he stands in it. Although the cave is blind and broken, the mother is still very clean, and everything is neat.
"Yu'er, you rest, go and cook cakes for your mother." Although the stepmother couldn't see it, after recognizing Fan Yu as her righteous son, she seemed to have been greatly satisfied, and the smile on her face never broke along the way.
As soon as he returned to the cave, he prepared something for Fan Yu to eat and drink.
Fan Yu naturally couldn't let his stepmother Granny Li work alone, so he hurriedly said, "Mother, you don't have to see outside." I don't have any other relatives, but you are like my own mother. If there's any work, I'll do it for you. ”
When the stepmother heard Fan Yu's words, she couldn't help but feel sad again, sad and happy.
He paused with the bamboo cane in his hand and said, "Okay, okay, there is white noodles in the crockpot in the corner, you go and get some." There are also wild vegetables picked by the mother in the basket, and they will be kneaded into the cooking cake later. ”
agreed, Fan Yu took a clay pot and went to the jar to make white noodles. In the past, he often came to bring rice and noodles to his stepmother, but he was familiar with it.
As a result, when I opened it, I saw that the white noodles in this crockpot were less than a bowl. He poured it all out, and it was just a pelvic floor.
Then I opened a jar next to it, and there was not even a grain of rice in it, and the clean rats were disgusted.
Seeing that his stepmother was waiting with a smile on her face, Fan Yu could only smile bitterly at this moment. The Great Song Dynasty is a very wealthy dynasty, why did he come here by himself, not to mention the stick first, and he couldn't even mix a full meal.
I had to send the noodles at the bottom of the pot to my stepmother, and Fan Yu said: "Mother, this noodle is less than a bowl, I'm afraid it's not enough to eat." ”
The stepmother's face stiffened, and her smile became reluctant.
"It's okay, mix less wild vegetables, you can get some first. My mother's appetite is not good, so she can only eat some wild vegetables. Stepmother Li thought of something, and her face immediately changed for the better and said, "For my mother, I promised today to sew some clothes for the Liu family in the town." Although the mother can't see it, but the craftsmanship of the female red is not something that people in small places can see, how can the Liu family send a few catties of rice noodles at that time, Yu'er don't worry. It's just that this meal will make you suffer some grievances, and you don't have to dislike it. ”
Fan Yu listened to what his stepmother said pitifully, and always asked herself not to dislike it, obviously afraid that she would no longer recognize her as a stepmother.
was able to meet Granny Li and recognize this stepmother, Fan Yu didn't look at this meal. Granny Li was also rich and noble in the Qin family before, and she often took care of their family at that time. Now that he has been driven out by the Qin family, although he is lonely and helpless, he still has this kindness. Just because of this pure character, Fan Yu will not regret recognizing this stepmother.
"What did my mother say, I'm not young now, I have hands and feet and I can still let my mother work to support me." Fan Yu smiled cheerfully: "It's nothing if I'm hungry, let's eat it." ”
"Don't say stupid things, this kid." The stepmother's expression eased and said, "You are only fifteen now, and your body has not yet grown, how can you lose your belly." ”
Fan Yu's heart was moved, but his heart was moving quickly. The mother and son are consumed like this, and there is no way to live in the future, and there must be an idea.
As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties. As soon as Fan Yu started to use his brain, this method was really there.
He laughed and said to his stepmother: "Mother, you and I don't have to let it." Son, please come down to the restaurant today. ”
