Chapter 6: Old Things
"Fuck you! What are you chewing with maggots in your mouth? ”
Aunt Chun, who was wrapped in a handkerchief and wore an earthy yellow cloth coat, was much stronger than her daughter Liu Daniu, and scolded angrily with a powerful fist.
Behind her were two men, one was tall and thin, and although his face was dark and rough due to years of hard work, and there were mountain lines on his forehead, he could still faintly see from between his eyebrows and eyes that he should have looked good when he was young.
The other young one is like a black bear spirit, black and strong, not like a human.
An earthy gray gown was worn on the body and was stretched, and it was repeatedly wet and dried by sweat, and a map of salt flowers appeared.
The black shiny face is like a bull's head, and the copper bell has big eyes that look at people like staring, which is quite fierce.
But strangely, so fierce, the people in the courtyard were not afraid at all, and the two naughty boys ran over with a smile and climbed up along the thick thighs of the iron bull.
The old woman is not annoyed when she is scolded, and the life of the people in the market is often greeted by cursing the other party's short life......
But before she could speak again, the door of Liu Laoshi's house opened, and Jia Qiang and Liu Daniu appeared at the door, shoulder to shoulder, because the door was narrow, so the distance was very close......
The first to change his complexion was Tie Niu, whose already big eyes became more and more like cow eggs, but his expression was not angry, but sad and aggrieved......
After Liu Laoshi and Aunt Chun looked at Jia Qiang carefully, Liu Laoshi was happy at first, and then straightened his face and was silent.
Aunt Chun didn't recognize Jia Qiang, she walked to Tie Niu with an ugly face and stood still, and then frowned and scolded: "Where did the little white face come out, dare to deceive my family?" Iron Bull, you go and pick up the ball and pound it, and throw it out of the toilet bowl on your head, puppy day! ”
When Tie Niu heard this, tears of emotion almost fell.
Although he was always scolded by this old mother-in-law on weekdays, he ate more than pigs and was more wasteful than anyone else, but he didn't expect his mother-in-law to favor him at a critical time.
However, Tie Niu still didn't dare to move, because he found that his wife was glaring at him, and his heart became more and more aggrieved......
Jia Qiang didn't let the scene be embarrassing any longer, from the memory of his predecessor, he knew that his aunt and aunt Chun had indeed never seen him a few times, and the only few times were when he was a child.
Uncle has seen him many times, but the former "he" wants to have some noble relatives like the Guogong Mansion, rather than a poor coolie uncle, and always says some marginal discordant words in his ear......
Of course, those intersperses are very profound when you think about them now......
Jia Qiang stepped forward and bowed to greet her: "Nephew greets uncle and aunt." He waved at Tie Niu again: "I've seen my brother-in-law." ”
When Liu Shi heard this, his face was very moved, but he finally calmed down.
Where has Tie Niu seen such a formation, first learned that this little white face was not an adulterer, and was pleasantly surprised, and then looked at his demeanor, he could only rub his big hands, hehe, silly.
It was Aunt Chun'er, who exclaimed loudly, "Yo", and looked at Jia Qiang carefully, but after looking at it for a while, she sneered: "Isn't this our family's good nephew?" Didn't you reward two taels of silver this time? ”
"That's it!"
Liu Shi doesn't talk much on weekdays, and Aunt Chun is in charge of everything, but at this time, she unexpectedly spoke, saying, "There is something to talk about." ”
With that, he took the lead in the back room with his head down.
However, he did not go directly into the house, but paused next to the well, and Tie Niu hurriedly stepped forward when he saw this, pulled up a bucket of water in three or two, and helped his father-in-law and son scrub it.
After washing a whole bucket of water, Liu Shi went into the house first, Tie Niu turned around and smiled at Jia Qiang, and pulled out a bucket of water three or two times, directly under the hood, the water splashed far away, and the frightened old cat fled......
The two old women in the courtyard scolded twice, and one of them said to Aunt Chun: "Big girl, mother, you don't recognize the relatives who gave you two taels of silver, why don't you let it be given to me?" You take it again, and the people turn around and leave. ”
Aunt Chun was shocked when she heard this, although she was domineering on weekdays, and the family only listened to her scolding, but she still cared very much about Liu Laoshi, a man, and knew her husband's thoughts. Today, if she really forced away her nephew who finally came to the door to recognize her relatives, her man was afraid that he would ignore her for a long time......
Thinking of this, she stopped stabbing Jia Qiang, and after scolding the old woman of the neighbor's house for a few words, she also entered the house, while Liu Daniu took Jia Qiang's arm and returned to the hall.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw her Lao Tzu Liu Shizheng frowning and staring at her broken silver and Jia Qiang's five taels of silver on the table, and hurriedly explained: "Dad, this silver is ......."
Jia Qiang didn't let her decompose it, but said by herself: "The broken silver was given to me by my cousin knowing that I was short of money." The five taels were not well after I learned that my cousin had given birth to a nephew, and I was worried that she would fall ill, so I sought medical treatment for her. Uncle, now that I have grown up, my former son has also moved out of the Ning Mansion and returned to the old mansion to set up his own door. These five taels are different from those two taels of loose silver that were ignorant before. ”
Liu Shi lived up to his honest name, he was repeatedly sent away by his nephew as a stinky flower child who beat the autumn wind, and accumulated so much resentment, but now when he saw his nephew's prodigal son turn back, he became excited, his eyes were filled with tears, and he nodded again and again: "Did you really move out?" Good, good, good wow! It's good to move out, and it's good to stand on your own! Otherwise, you will become what the play says, recognizing the thief as your father! ”
Jia Qiang remembered that in the memory of his predecessor, this uncle told him whenever he had the opportunity that his father and mother died so early because of Jia Zhen.
But Jia Qiang doesn't "remember" that this uncle told him how he hurt him......
So he asked: "Uncle, Jia Zhen, how did you persecute my father?" ”
Liu Shi sighed and said, "What else can it be?" Now that you're older, you can tell you. At the beginning, because your mother was born well, you were able to marry a son from a famous family like your father. But I don't want to think that in a few years, your mother was caught by the beast in Ningguo Mansion, and was persecuted several times, your father was a weak scholar, and he was bedridden with anger, and his last life whimpered, and your mother also hung on the beam of the house in order to keep her chastity. That beast took you in the house in order to shut up your people. I wanted to help your mother avenge me, but you are in the Guogong Mansion, and I don't dare to fight hard, for fear of harming your life......"
Jia Qiang was silent for a long time when she heard this, and then said to Liu Shi: "Uncle, I was ignorant before, but now that I'm older, leave this matter to me, don't think about it anymore." Jia Zhen is a member of the Guogong Mansion, and he has the ancestral lord on his body, not to mention that he has been accompanied by a long guard, even if you can kill him, it is also a crime to raid the family and exterminate the clan. ”
Liu Shiyan was annoyed when he heard this: "Don't you want to avenge your father's revenge?" ”
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Uncle, you don't have to use a knife to kill someone, and you don't have to fight hard. Leave this matter to me, and I will know in three years. If it doesn't come with results within three years, you can take me with you again. It's just that from today onwards, the family will not mention this matter again. If it is spread to the thieves, not only will it not be able to take revenge, but it will also harm our family's life. ”
Liu Shi wanted to say something, but Aunt Chun glared and said: "You are far worse than your nephew, stupid and stupid, I didn't listen to what your nephew said, this murder may not use a knife, and revenge does not have to be exchanged for life." This bald talk alone is much smarter than you. ”
When Liu Shi heard this, he was silent, but he was no longer excited to mention anything desperately.
Aunt Chun smiled and put away the silver on the table, and said, "Good nephew, aren't you a short silver envoy?" How can you give us money to help us? ”
As he spoke, he took the silver into his bosom, and it seemed that he would never take it out.
Jia Qiang said: "Two different things, you can earn money when the silver is short." But my cousin's body and bones can't be dragged down, so my aunt went to find a good man to take a look at her, and then bought some tonic medicine and tonic food for her, so as to raise her body strong, which is a long-term thing. ”
Aunt Chun was silent for a moment when she heard this, and then turned her head and scolded Tie Niu: "It's all the dog you can't do, you can't even make money for your mother-in-law to treat her body, and the pigs are better than you!" After scolding, he slapped him hard.
Tie Niuhan scratched his head with a smile, and said in an urn: "Mother, don't beat with your hands, it's good to hit with a broom, otherwise it hurts your hands." ”
Aunt Chun spat angrily, but she didn't bother to hit him anymore.
Looking at this family, Jia Qiang had a rough idea in her heart......
