Chapter 3: Rumors
Aunt Wang didn't say much when she saw the teasing, Shen Qingqing just took it, and finally spoke: "Aunt Wang, I was wrong in a thousand ways before, but now there is really no rice and noodles in the house, so you can lend me some." ”
Xiao Douding also hurriedly responded, crying: "Aunt Wang, I'm hungry." ”
Aunt Wang is also a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and Xiaodouding looks really pitiful, and finally took out a cabbage and a small enamel bowl of rice from the kitchen with her little feet: "I don't have many things at home, you take these first." ”
Shen Qingqing took the thing and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Aunt Wang, don't worry, I will definitely pay it back." ”
Aunt Wang didn't speak, her eyes glanced at her and she was playing with the corn: "It doesn't matter if you don't pay it back, don't do anything in the future." ”
Yo he, I don't know how I offended before, it seems that the anger in my heart has not disappeared.
It's not much, but dinner can finally be solved.
When the two of them returned home, Xiao Douding was very obedient to help wash the vegetables and make the fire, but when Shen Qingqing opened the water tank, he couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
This original master is lazy, there is no water in the water tank, the water tank has already been connected to the cobwebs, and the lid on it has broken a few holes.
Anyway, Shen Qingqing pinned her hair behind her ears and touched Xiaodouding's head: "Haohao is obediently at home, I'll go fetch water." ”
Xiao Douding looked at the water tank and hurriedly put the cabbage on the board: "You must be careful when your mother fetches water." ”
The village is poor, and every household does not have its own well, so if you want to fetch water, you can only go to the well water by the river, and bypass a few houses and fields from Shen Qingqing's house, and the stream behind the village jumps into your eyes.
It was after dinner, the children were playing in the stream with the heat, the young men and women in twos and threes folded flowers in their hands and found a shady place to flirt, and most of the women were washing clothes while it was cool.
The plateau red on Aunt Li's face at the head of the village was about to be grinned behind her ears with the squirming of her mouth: "Why is this Shen Qingqing here?" But I heard that she was not less embarrassed a few days ago. ”
"Not really." The daughter-in-law of Ergou, who just got married, has a slender figure and is fat, and she wants to gain a good reputation in the village, and she speaks mercilessly. "It's not a shame that a woman's family can do this kind of thing, I'm afraid it's not good without a man."
"I heard that Lin Zhong went to her house today, and I don't know what the two of them are doing."
"Oops...... Don't dare to talk nonsense......"
The mouth of the long-tongued woman seems to be a knife, and she has always been the most capable of killing, and Shen Qingqing doesn't care so much about them, after all, the original owner has done these things.
Shen Qingqing originally didn't want to pay attention to it, but when the bucket was just put at the wellhead, it was preempted by a larger bucket, and when she looked up, she saw that Aunt Li pinned her hair behind her ear with one hand, and her yellow hair looked malnourished at a glance, and her face was black.
Shen Qingqing had no intention of causing a conflict, and smiled on her face: "Aunt Li is also here to fetch water." ”
"yes." Aunt Li crossed her hands on her hips, and her voice seemed to be a broken gong. "It's not good, it's not easy to finish washing the men's clothes in the house."
Speaking of this, he was stunned, and his tone was extremely cheerful: "Hey, look at my memory, I forgot that there is no man in Qingqing's family." ”
The daughter-in-law of the second dog by the stream sang and harmonized: "Aunt Li, don't say that, there are no men in Qingqing's family, but they can't stand the ability of others, and they steal men from ten miles and eight villages." ”
After saying that, there was a burst of laughter, and the children who were playing did not know why they also laughed.
Shen Qingqing was not angry, and directly put a bucket of water into it, and the villagers were puzzled when they looked at her back.
Is this still the arrogant Shen Qingqing who can't stand the slightest grievance?
She didn't think it was anything, so she picked up a bucket of water and rushed to her home, most of the roads in the village were dirt roads, and the dust was raised step by step, which was not the most important, she felt that her body was struggling when she carried the water.
Just as she was thinking about it, the woman staggered and fell to the ground.
With a clang, the bucket hit the ground, the water splashed around, and Shen Qingqing's fat was piled on the ground.
There was a pain in her body, and she wondered in her heart, how could this original owner's body be so weak?
The body is the capital, don't let yourself have empty ambitions, but the body is a terminally ill master, so the more I think about it, the more Shen Qingqing feels scared in his heart, and hurriedly finds a shade to sit down.
She minored in Chinese medicine when she was in college, and she was half a gentleman in ancient times, and Shen Qingqing took a long breath when she touched the pulse: "This original owner is afraid that the confinement is not well maintained, and the pulse is vain, so he fell into the root of the disease and was fat, and it seems that he can't exert his strength." ”
Thinking about it, this is not a way, it seems that in the future, we must take care of our body, and when we have time, we should do yoga to improve our figure, and it is the king to raise our body bones.
Shen Qingqing had to go to the well to pick up a bucket of water again, and when he returned home, the sunset had gradually set, and the horizon in the distance seemed to be inlaid with gold in the dark.
And Xiao Douding had been waiting at the door of the house for a long time, without lighting a candle, taking advantage of his thin figure to look even more pitiful, and when he saw Shen Qingqing coming back, he hurriedly ran forward: "Mother, you are finally back." ”
Xiao Douding said that he was about to pick up the water in Shen Qingqing's hand, his round head was hot as if it was a dumpling, Shen Qingqing loved it very much, and he rubbed his head with one hand: "The water is heavy, Haohao is obedient." ”
"Don't." Who knew that Xiao Douding actually pulled the other side of the bucket, quite a little adult's tone. "Haohao is reluctant to work so hard for his mother."
The child is so sensible, even if he is not related by blood, he will fall in love with each other, not to mention that he and Shen Qingqing will depend on each other for their lives in the future.
A cool breeze blows to make people's hearts very comfortable, the summer moon is already big and round, and the candles in the house are suddenly lit up by the moonlight, and at the same time illuminate the scene in the house.
During the day, she was only busy with things, and now Shen Qingqing had time to look at the structure of the house, a room was divided into inside and outside, and inside was her and Xiao Douding's bedroom.
Said to be a bedroom, in fact, is a bed and a missing leg wardrobe, the outside of the guy is also pitiful, on the left side of the room is a small kitchen, no candles look black and dirty, the yard is not small, planted a few moon flowers are now in full bloom.
Broken is really broken, and poor is really poor.
At the end of the day, I was busy sweating, adding firewood under the stove and heating a large basin of water.
Xiao Douding doesn't know how long it has been since he took a bath, and his body is dirty, not to mention the sour smell.
Shen Qingqing simply found a big basin and put the hot water in it, and the mother and son didn't care about it, and sat directly in the bathtub.
They were in the courtyard, although the wall was made of a low fence, but fortunately, they didn't pass through it at night, even if there were people, with Shen Qingqing's horizontal flesh, there would be no danger.
The moonlight slanted and shone on the extremely white skin of the two of them, as if it were jade.
Shen Qingqing just wanted to rub Xiao Douding's body, but who knew that as soon as he touched Xiao Douding, he cried out in pain, and when he looked at it, he found that there were black bruises on Xiao Douding's arms.
Shen Qingqing's heart was sour, and her voice involuntarily lowered: "How did you get it?" ”
After speaking, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Or is this what my mother pinched for you?" ”
Xiao Douding held back the tears in his eyes, but comforted Shen Qingqing: "Mother, it's okay, Haohao doesn't feel pain, as long as my mother is happy, Haohao is willing to do anything." ”
Everyone says that whoever says an inch of grass will repay Sanchunhui, but there are also children and grandchildren who have not solved the problem of farming and weaving, and they also learn to grow melons in Sangyin.
"Hao Hao......" Shen Qingqing's eyes were hot, and he held him in his arms. Did your mother beat you a lot before? ”
"No, it's not." Xiao Douding shook his head, and what he said surprised Shen Qingqing. "When my father didn't pass away, my mother treated me very well."
Shen Qingqing didn't speak, just quietly listened to Xiao Douding say: "But after Daddy left, my mother seems to have changed as a person, Hao Hao knows that my mother is uncomfortable in her heart, so she is like this." ”
Speaking of this, Shen Qingqing suddenly became curious: "Was the relationship between my mother and my father good before?" ”
"Feelings?" Little Douding didn't seem to understand the word well, and it took a long time before he spoke. "Before, my father was hunting in the mountains, and my mother would look at the door of my house, and it would be an hour or two to look at it, although my mother didn't say it, but Hao Hao knew that my mother was worried about my father."
"But......" Xiao Douding's tone fell, and there were tears in his eyes. After my father left, my mother always said that I would have no support in the future, and said that the second uncle of the Lin family could let us live a good life. ”
Hearing this, Shen Qingqing had mixed feelings for a while, originally thought that the original owner was just a pungent and arrogant and unreasonable character, but he didn't expect that there was such a hundred turns of tenderness in his heart, perhaps, after the death of her husband, the original owner was the most difficult person.
was in a trance, but Xiao Douding's hand stretched out and pinched Shen Qingqing's face: "Mother is not afraid, Haohao will protect you in the future." ”
