Chapter 32: Saving the Disciples (II)
His parents and names are Wang Qihu, Wang Qibao, Wang Qishi, and the three brothers are all stout and muscular, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a Chinese face, and a loyal appearance.
Wang Gou'er's stepmother is Wang Xiangshi, who is also stout, thick, eyebrows and big eyes, if she is not wearing women's clothes, she must think she is a man.
What is very inconsistent with the appearance is that the clothes of the four are relatively tattered, and there are really a lot of patches on their clothes.
When the four of them saw their mother and Zhao Ping, they bowed together and bowed: "Meet the master mother, meet Xiao Langjun." ”
The mother smiled slightly, waved her sleeves lightly under the support of Cuizhu, and then said gently: "There is no need to be polite, it is not only the parents and elders of Ping'er's disciples, but also a family." ”
Wang Qihu had a wooden personality, tidied up his clothes, then rubbed his hands, and stammered a little embarrassedly: "Mastermother, Xiao Langjun, that, that, that, how can it work, okay?" ”
The mother was about to speak, and Wang Xiang had already come over to salute the mother and Zhao Ping Wanfu respectively: "Meet the master mother, meet Xiao Langjun." Since you do things for the Lord's house, then the gift of the master and servant is not less. ”
After the mother turned sideways, she held her hands weakly, and then said lightly after returning the salute: "Ping'er said that one day is a teacher, and all day long is a father." Now that the status of master and apprentice has been decided, then their own family is a family. One family can't speak the words of two families. ”
The four of them couldn't help but smile angrily, and together they paid a big gift to their mothers to meet their elders: "Thank you uncle for your love, I have seen Master, the Wang family has climbed high here." ”
After the four members of the Wang family followed Zhao Jie away, Zhao Ping turned to ask Wang Gou'er, "How many brothers and sisters do you have?" How old are siblings? ”
Wang Gou'er also looked at the back of his parents in the distance, then looked back at Zhao Ping and said, "Master, there are four younger brothers and two younger sisters under the disciple. The eldest brother was 10 years old, followed by a younger sister at 9 years old, then a younger brother at 7 and 5 years old, a younger sister at 3 years old and the last brother at 1 year old. I heard that my mother was pregnant again. ”
In the stunned eyes of his mother and Zhao Ping, Wang Gou'er scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Is it true or false that my mother is not feeling well when she is pregnant." ”
Maybe Wang Gouer felt embarrassed that his parents gave birth to so many younger siblings.
Zhao Ping frowned and asked, "Since your mother is pregnant, why do you still have to work and are not afraid of the fetus being miscarried?" ”
Wang Gou'er was embarrassed to look at Zhao Ping's mother-in-law and Zhao Ping, and then said: "Weng Weng and her mother-in-law also persuaded her mother, but her mother said that she didn't work, how could she support the family?" ”
Speaking of this, Wang Gou'er looked at Zhao Ping cautiously and said worriedly: "Master, the apprentice will tell you about your mother's pregnancy, and the master will not fire him." When the father found out, the apprentice was going to be beaten badly. The father taught his apprentices that he never used his mouth, but always with his fists, feet, or sticks. ”
After speaking, he looked in fear in the direction where his father had disappeared.
Zhao Ping kicked at Wang Gou'er, saw him hanging his injured arm, withdrew his foot halfway, and said, "You think of Master so badly, you should also be beaten." By the way, why didn't your brother and sister bring it? ”
Wang Gou'er scratched his head even more embarrassedly, and said, "Master, I also want to bring them here, but they only have three sets of clothes in total, how can they go out?" Now the clothes on my parents and uncles are the best in the family. ”
The mother couldn't help but cover her mouth, Zhao Ping pointed to Wang Gou'er's lowered head, and said, "Why didn't you say these things earlier." Zhao Yilang, Erlang, Zhao Yiniang, Erlang, as well as Lan'er and Cuizhu, first send them you and Ben's unused clothes, and then send clothes to the teacher, and bring some snacks. Since you are going to the door of your junior brother, see if you can go empty-handed? ”
Everyone made a promise, and then went their separate ways to find a gift.
Zhao Ping hugged Xia Xiaoniang, followed by Lan'er, Cuizhu led Yiniang and Erniang, Wang Gou'er and Zhao Yilang Erlang served in a chicken bus loaded with food, clothes, snacks and other items.
After crossing the river, about a mile away is the flower house.
The scenery around it is ingenious, there is a green bamboo on one side, Nanzhu on the other, Guanyin bamboo on the other, all the yellow barrel orchid trees in the front row, in summer, the fragrance wafts around the Zhuangzi, plus the Zhuangzi is surrounded by up to three zhang wall and is painted with colorful peony flowers, it is really worthy of the reputation of the flower house.
But Wang Gou'er's house is not in the flower house!
And it's the opposite of a flower house!
It is a low thatched house.
The whole thatched house is made of green bamboo on three sides, and there is a flat dam in front of the door, which is paved with neat and square stone slabs, which is used for drying grain.
There are five thatched huts, three of which are directly in front of them and one on each side, enclosing the dam in the middle.
The poor dog is also skinny!
The dam has a skinny, listless yellow dog!
Zhao Ping threw away a few steamed buns, and the yellow dog sniffed it, and then went to enjoy its deliciousness.
Wang Gou'er happily shouted to a thatched hut on the far left, "Weng Weng, mother-in-law, my master and they have come to see you." ”
There were two weak voices in the room: "Xiao Langjun, thank you so much, the grace of saving your life, unforgettable." Forgive the villain for not being in good health and not being able to get up to greet him. ”
The room was a little dark, and a faint light came in through a one-foot-square window.
It is said that it is a window, but in fact a hole is made in the fence wall, and then a wooden frame is installed around the hole, and several vertical wooden strips are installed on the wooden frame to prevent thieves from entering through this hole.
This hole can neither shelter from the wind nor the rain, and its only function is to let light in.
The floor of the house was dirt and uneven, and it was obviously very wet when it rained, so it had to be dried with wood ash.
Living here for a long time, it is obvious that you are prone to rheumatism. Due to poor ventilation, the whole house had an indescribable odor.
When Zhao Ping saw this, he couldn't help frowning, and he thought of a way to solve this problem.
However, when Zhao Ping and the others had just entered the door, they saw a gray-haired woman about fifty years old in short clothes and brown pants, struggling to get up from the bed against the wall, and another elderly man of the same age could only turn his head and keep saying thank you to Zhao Ping.
Zhao Ping hurriedly stepped forward to cover the quilt with an unknown number of patches for them, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, aunt, my family has come to visit you, please take good care of your body, no need to be polite." ”
Zhao Ping brought them two jars of medicinal wine and two bags of rice.
Strictly speaking, these two old men were not sick, but their bodies were severely lacking in nutrients, coupled with the use of Guanyin rice (yellow mud) to satisfy their hunger, and their physique was extremely weak.
The two old men obviously looked old, but in fact they were only fifty or even forty years old, because it was normal for the ancients to marry early and fifteen. As long as they start with their diet to strengthen their nutrition and eliminate Guanyin rice (yellow mud) from their body, they can restore their former health.
Zhao Ping asked Cuizhu, Lan'er, Zhao Yiniang, and Erniang to wait in the hall, and when they came to the other room, they couldn't help but be surprised, thinking how could this be?
It turned out that there were many undressed children in the other room!
An eight-year-old child and two little girls were seen wearing almost naked ragged clothes, and the other four boys were not even clothed.
Seeing the four people come in neatly dressed and beautiful, the three boys and the little sister hid in the quilt in shame, and hurriedly covered their bad places through the quilt, only the young lady who was carrying the naked little brother on her back didn't have time to hide in the sleeve, just lowered her head and hummed a nursery rhyme to take care of the sleepy little brother.
The embarrassed Wang Gou'er, Zhao Yilang and Erlang immediately gave them the clothes and said, "Come and see, brother and sister, these are the best clothes that my brothers and sisters have given you, quickly put them on, and dress up to show my brothers and sisters who will send you clothes." ”
"Wow", as soon as they heard that there were good clothes to wear, the boys and girls lying on the bed lifted the quilt together, grabbed the clothes and began to change, and the two sisters, one older and one younger, also grabbed their clothes and went to the next room to change.
However, when they changed their clothes and came outside, Zhao Ping found that although they had changed their clothes, their faces still looked dirty, some had mud on their faces, some had runny noses, and some had a foul smell on their bodies, apparently they hadn't washed for a long time.
Zhao Ping didn't dislike it, each of them was given a silver horn, except for the little boy who was only more than a year old, the rest held the silver horn tightly in their hands, with a grateful look in their eyes.
Wang Gou'er hurriedly coughed and roared loudly: "Don't thank my master yet." ”
Several siblings replied together, "Thank you, Master." ”
Zhao Ping didn't seem to notice the problem with their speech, and said: "You have to take good care of it, don't lose it, you can buy a lot of food and clothing." Wang Gou'er was overjoyed when he saw this, pointed to his younger siblings and said loudly, "My younger brothers and sisters will all kneel down for me and kowtow to Master." ”
The two older wits had already knelt down and kowtowed, and the rest who did not kowtow were also kicked by Wang Gou'er in the crook of their feet, kneeling down and learning to kowtow together with the two sisters and brothers.
It turned out that Wang Gou'er tried it, but he didn't expect that the master was really "fooled", and shouted happily: "Quickly call the master, master." ”
Several younger siblings prostrated together, shouting, "Master, Master." ”
Zhao Ping was overjoyed, it was not easy to encounter these good materials and beautiful qualities, looking at their parents' physique, these physiques would definitely not be bad. Zhao Ping said happily, pointing to Cuizhu and Zhao Yilang and said, "Hurry up and see your senior sister and senior brother." ”
Cuizhu and Zhao Yilang all have gifts, some are snacks, and some are toys.
Cuizhu and Lan'er covered their noses while fanning the wind with their hands, and said to Wang Gou'er: "Sure enough, it's the same as you, I haven't taken a bath for a long time." ”
Wang Gou'er scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "You can't blame your junior parents, they are too busy." Cows, fish, hurry up and take your younger siblings to take a bath. ”
His second and third sisters immediately agreed, embarrassed to take their younger siblings to the bath.
When Zhao Ping heard this, he was immediately happy, Wang Gou'er's family not only had the names of their parents and elders related to animals, but their generation was also related to animals, one was a cow and the other was a fish. Lan'er clapped her hands and smiled: "Little junior brother, you have cows and fish in your house, will there be cats, horses, donkeys, and mice?" ”
