Chapter Seventy-Nine: Door-to-door apology
Tian Dazhuang took the initiative to come to the door to apologize to Zhong Zizhu's family, saying that he would not hit the smiling person, and besides, the person who came to the door in person was a guest.
Wen Xiaoxing's deaf eyes are not the proper hospitality at all.
The most important thing is that it was Old Man Wen who drove them away from the village, and he had nothing to do with Tian Dazhuang's family.
Although their family lives on the mountain now, after all, they are from a village, and sooner or later they will come down the mountain to meet, and if they don't look up and look down, they will inevitably be embarrassed.
"Little Four, what the hell is going on with you, isn't it good to play with Da Zhuang usually? We also went hunting in the mountains together, how could you be so strong just now? Zhong Zizhu frowned and asked in a low voice.
Wen Xiaoxing glared at Tian Dazhuang angrily, "My mother forgot what he did to us with his mother, and he dared to threaten the eldest sister, he was simply bold." ”
"Even if that's the case, you can't be so strong to Da Zhuang, besides, our two families don't have a relationship, and it's normal for them to do that." Zhong Zizhu was silent for a while and said.
The more Wen Xiaoxing stared at Tian Dazhuang, the more angry he became, "Toad, he wants to marry the eldest sister, and the eldest sister may not marry him. ”
Wen Xiaoxing pouted, and suddenly she couldn't understand what Zhong Zizhu meant, and by her own temperament, she just wanted to give Tian Dazhuang shoes everywhere.
Zhong Zizhu talked about the truth for a long time, Wen Xiaoxing was still wooden, she sighed, "I ask you, the old lady treats you like that, why do you still want to give her a needle?" ”
Wen Xiaoxing immediately riveted his spirits, looked at Zhong Zizhu seriously and explained, "This is completely different, I went to prick the needle for the sake of silver, what does he have?" ”
"If it weren't for your Aunt Tian helping you publicize it everywhere, would the people in the village know that you would see a doctor? Can you queue that long outside the door every day? Drinking water and thinking about the source, you can't just say that the water is not good because the water has frozen your teeth for a while, understand? ”
Zhong Zizhu folded Wen Xiaoxing's hand in the palm of her hand, and explained in a serious and serious manner, so that she understood the cruelty of human feelings.
It also made her understand that the help of others is not something that should be taken for granted, and the belittlement of others is not a fall.
"Knowing my mother, I'll go and apologize to Da Zhuang in a while, it's always okay." Wen Xiaoxing reluctantly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"Well, let's eat." Zhong Zizhu smiled and patted Xiaoxing's head.
Maybe he was frightened when he was hunting just now, and his mind was still thinking about the sudden appearance of Jeluqi.
It is normal for there to be hunters in the mountains, but they are strangely dressed, even the bows and arrows for hunting are new, and there is no smell of blood of the prey on them, which is suspicious
Wen Xiaoxing always felt that in this remote mountain, there were hunters who were more fierce than the prey, but he was afraid that the sky was going to change in this mountain.
The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and Wen Xiaoxing is thinking about what he plans for the future.
Wen Xiaoxing absentmindedly pulled the food and touched Wen Yixing's chopsticks. She originally thought that Wen Yixing would stop the point, but she didn't think about it but didn't move.
She looked up and was about to speak, only to see Wen Yixing bowing her head in disobedience, as if she was giggling.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Wen Xiaoxing knocked on Wen Yixing's chopsticks to remind.
"Ahh I? It's okay, I'll eat. Wen Yixing lowered his head and quickly pulled the rice bowl, but his eyes were staring at Tian Dazhuang.
Wen Xiaoxing pondered for a long time, and felt more and more that something was wrong with Wen Yixing,
She didn't look like an embarrassing shyness at the dinner table, but a little girlish shyness.
Tian Dazhuang roasted the semi-finished corn that Wen Xiaoxing stuffed into his hand, blew off the ash on it, and brought it to the table.
"Xiaoxing, the corn is ready, you can taste it." Tian Dazhuang took the slightly hot corn to Wen Xiaoxing.
Wen Xiaoxing reached out to take the corn, deliberately pretended to be burned, and quickly took it back and pinched his ears, "It's too hot, eldest sister will give it to you." ”
She gestured to give way to Wen Yixing, she looked at Tian Dazhuang embarrassedly, and saw that he had no opinion before she was embarrassed to act.
Seeing Wen Yixing eating embarrassed, Wen Xiaoxing also pulled up and ate in a big gulp, which made Wen Yixing feel less embarrassed.
However, Tian Dazhuang didn't seem to realize that Wen Yixing was paying attention to him, and instead looked at Wen Xiaoxing happily.
"Is Xiaoxing delicious? If you like it, I'll give you more in the future. Tian Dazhuang smiled and distributed the corn to everyone, "You can eat it too." ”
Zhong Zizhu took the corn and looked at the golden corn kernels on it, all of them were full, "Farewell, this corn grows very well, your mother must have put in a lot of effort, just waiting for the harvest, you gave it to us and ate it's a pity." ”
"It's okay, my mother knows." Tian Dazhuang hesitated and scratched his head.
"That can't stand eating like this, don't take it again."
Zhong Zizhu knows Tian's mother's character, if he knew that Tian Dazhuang brought the family's corn here, he wouldn't come to the door to make trouble.
It's hard to live a few days in peace, and it's going to be disrupted again.
Tian Dazhuang nodded in response, saw Wen Xiaoxing packing up firewood on the side, and asked curiously, "There is a chance in the town tomorrow, Xiaoxing, do you want to go?" ”
Zhong Zizhu had already crossed his fingers, counting the days of the town assembly, the family was torn apart by Old Man Wen, and there were many things that needed to be added when he moved to this cave.
"Rush to tomorrow's rally, pull all this firewood to the town and sell it." Zhong Zizhu pointed to the firewood on the side and said.
Wen Xiaoxing nodded in response.
The firewood on the side seemed to have several bundles, and it was impossible for Zhong Zizhu and Wen Xiaoxing to carry them to the rally just by relying on them, especially since they were now in the mountains, and it was even more difficult to transport them to the town.
"With so much firewood, you don't want to carry it again, do you?" Tian Dazhuang's eyes widened in surprise.
Wen Xiaoxing suddenly turned around and rolled his eyes at Tian Dazhuang, saying that he was honest and stupid, and he didn't need to prove it in such a hurry, "Otherwise, can these firewood still grow their feet and go to the town?" ”
Tian Dazhuang grinned embarrassedly, "It's not like that, I mean it's like last time, I used my ox cart to help you pull firewood to the town." ”
When everyone heard it, what Tian Dazhuang said was a good idea, and Zhong Zizhu was also happy, after all, there was a lot less distance in such words.
They now live in the mountains, and what they need most is a means of transportation.
"Will your mother agree?" Wen Xiaoxing's rhetorical question.
Wen Xiaoxing's words made everyone's happy expressions instantly turn sad, and everyone's brows wrinkled into a pimple, just like the old man of the birthday star.
In the past, when I lived in the village, every time I went to the town to sell firewood, several people were worried, and they were unwilling to carry firewood on their backs.
"Don't worry, I promise my mother will agree." Tian Dazhuang accompanied his chest and promised.
"Your kindness is appreciated, no need." Wen Xiaoxing sighed.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow at the end of the village." Tian Dazhuang didn't consider Tian's mother's attitude, and agreed to Wen Xiaoxing without authorization.
Zhong Zizhu frowned in embarrassment.
Wen Xiaoxing knew that this was Tian Dazhuang's attention alone, if Tian's mother knew, Tian Dazhuang would inevitably serve him again.
Tian Dazhuang is also kind to them.
In order to avoid causing him unnecessary trouble, Wen Xiaoxing fumbled in his pocket for a long time, and stuffed the only ten cents he found on his body into Tian Dazhuang's hand.
"Xiaoxing, what are you doing here? Don't you treat me as a friend, and you don't want to play with me in the future. Tian Dazhuang looked at Wen Xiaoxing angrily.
Wen Xiaoxing insisted on stuffing the money into Tian Dazhuang's hand, "If you really want us to use your ox cart tomorrow, you can take the money and go back to make an errand with Aunt Tian, otherwise we will definitely not be able to use your ox cart." ”
Zhong Zizhu also came up to persuade, "Take it, it's not easy for your family to raise cattle." ”
"yes, take it." Wen Yixing also persuaded in a low voice.
Under the persuasion of everyone in turn, Tian Dazhuang thought about his snobbish mother, but it was really difficult to explain, so he no longer postponed accepting the money.
Then Tian Dazhuang said a few more words to Wen Xiaoxing, looked at the dark sky, and simply said hello to everyone and left.
When I came down from the mountain and just walked to the door of my house, I heard Tian's mother angry in the courtyard and scolded the thief who stole the corn.
Tian Dazhuang stood on his toes and planned to sneak in when Tian's mother was not paying attention.
Unexpectedly, he was still caught by Tian's mother, "Stop, what are you doing?" ”
"I'm going to the mountains...... Hunting in the mountains. Tian Dazhuang replied in a panic, almost leaking his mouth.
"You hunt, what about the prey?" Tian Mu stared at Tian Dazhuang, who was empty-handed.
Tian Dazhuang was at a loss, "I went late and didn't meet the prey, so I came back." ”
Tian Mu kept staring at Tian Dazhuang's eyes, he kept blinking in a panic, whether he was lying or not, Tian Mu could see at a glance.
From childhood to adulthood, Tian Dazhuang has been like this, as long as he lies, his eyes always blink.
Tian Mu held back her anger, "Do you know where the corn at home goes?" ”
"I don't know, just throw it away, don't be angry, maybe it's impossible to say who is hungry and roasting." Tian Dazhuang supported Tian's mother and was relieved, and he couldn't stop talking about roasting corn.
At this time, Tian's mother's doubts were confirmed, "Don't tell the truth yet, give me an honest explanation, did you steal the corn and roast it?" ”
Tian Mu raised her palm that could cover half of the sky, slapped Tian Dazhuang's body hard, and tortured the corn with words and deeds.
"I didn't, I ate at Aunt Wen's place just now, how can I steal corn and roast it again." Tian Dazhuang ran around with his head in his hands, and refused to admit to stealing corn.
Tian Mu stood in place and reacted, feeling that something was a little wrong, "The meal you had at Wen Xiaoxing's house, so their family lives in the mountains now?" ”
"That's right, they found a cave in the mountain, that place is very good, warm in winter and cool in summer, don't worry about snow in winter, it will be cold at home, much better than our home, Aunt Wen left me for dinner before coming back."
Tian Dazhuang told Tian's mother about the cave in detail, and her heart immediately filled with a trace of jealousy.
The seamless plan was destroyed by a cave like this, and the daughter-in-law who saw it at the door of the house was sent back to her parents' house by force.
The more Tian Mu thought about it in her heart, the more she didn't feel it, she frowned angrily, and glared at Tian Dazhuang viciously, in the final analysis, he said the wrong thing.
Tian Dazhuang saw that Tian's mother's mood had stabilized a little, so he said tentatively, "Mother, tomorrow, when there is a chance, Aunt Wen will go to the town to sell firewood, and I want to borrow our ox cart to pull firewood." ”
As soon as Tian Dazhuang's words fell, he heard a roar in his ears, "I also borrowed the ox cart, and they were embarrassed to open their mouths, you go and tell them that our ox cart is broken and can't be used." ”
Tian Dazhuang opened his mouth wide in panic, silently took out ten cents from his arms, and slowly sent it to Tian's mother, "This is the ten cents that Aunt Wen gave you, and borrowing an oxcart is to pull firewood." ”
When Tian's mother, who was angry, saw the money, she suddenly changed her face, and immediately took the ten cents in Tian Dazhuang's hand with a smile.
"You kid, you always talk halfway." Tian Mu weighed ten yuan, "It's all a village, it's right to help each other, what kind of money, see more, you go and talk to Xiaoxing, let him use it as he pleases." ”
Tian Dazhuang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the cold sweat was about to frighten out, "Got it." ”
Wen Yunhao returned to the Wen family's mansion and relayed Wen Xiaoxing's words to Old Man Wen word for word, especially emphasizing that Wen Xiaoxing would never beg for mercy.
Old Man Wen snorted disdainfully, not paying attention to Wen Xiaoxing's stubbornness at all.
