Shen Qingqing put all the dirty clothes and bedding in the ragged clothes basket, and when he picked up his back and wanted to go to the river to wash, he suddenly understood that Xiao Douding hurriedly ran to the door, using his body as a barrier to block the way to the door.

Shen Qingqing smiled and the child was lively, he wanted to play with her, rubbed his head and said, "Hao Hao, my mother will come back after going to the river for a while." ”

Who knows, Xiao Douding's face was wrinkled like bitter gourd, and he spoke milkily: "Mother, what are you doing by the river?" ”

Yo, there is still fierceness in the words.

Shen Qingqing squatted down, looked into his eyes, and pointed to the dirty clothes behind him: "Mother-in-law will go wash the clothes and come back in a while." ”

"I don't want it!" Instead of giving way, Xiao Douding blocked tighter.

He has always been a sensible child, not like this.

Shen Qingqing thought about it for a moment and said, "Are you worried about something?" ”

Xiao Douding lowered his head, his chin and forehead were worried and aggrieved: "Mother, the last time you went to the river...... Only...... I jumped into the river, Haohao was afraid that you would still be like this. ”

Shen Qingqing was stunned, she didn't expect a child to think like this, it was really simple and kind, which made people feel distressed.

"So what should Hao Hao say? So many dirty clothes can't be left unwashed. ”

Xiao Douding was really thinking about it like a little adult, and finally knocked his head: "There is!" Let Hao Hao go with you! ”

Shen Qingqing shook his head, there was really no way to take this little clever ghost, and his tone was very favorable: "Okay, let's go together." ”

In the summer, the crops in the fields have nothing to be tended to, and the people in the village are happy to steal and spend half a day idle, and the river is lively.

Most of the men wear a half-undershirt, loose pants on their legs, and cloth shoes on their feet, and play chess under a table under the woods by the river, chatting, and the women are washing their clothes and vegetables by the river with their hands in their hands, talking about homely things.

The river is not deep, and the half-sized children are playing naked, and some of them are colored when they are young, and they don't wear pants at all.

Anyway, you can hear the noise from afar, as if the river has become the center of the village.

Shen Qingqing had the experience of the previous time, so he didn't want to make up for the crowd, so he finally picked a clean place, and when he just squatted down, he heard a shout of breaking the gong: "Yo, the sun is coming out in the west, and Qingqing is also out to wash clothes." ”

Yo, look at what this says.

Shen Qingqing didn't speak, just nodded, who knew that the eldest aunt who was a good thing actually stepped forward and pulled her: "What are you washing here, this is downstream, it can't be cleaned, go to us and wash it." ”

This woman, Shen Qingqing, knew that it was Aunt Li, a well-known broken-mouthed mother-in-law in the east of the village, and the head of the Li family, who was the owner of the village day by day. She didn't want to go over, but when she looked down, she saw that vegetable leaves were floating in the river.

There is nothing bad left and right, just go.

When the mother-in-law saw Shen Qingqing coming, their eyes changed, with a dark expression on their faces, she didn't see it, and she washed and left early.

But where are the daughters-in-law willing to let her go, the troubled ladies asked: "Qingqing, why are you still alone." ”

When a word is said and the hall laughs, everyone knows what it means.

Shen Qingqing spread out her clothes and beat them with a slate, just smiling.

Seeing that she did not speak, the women seemed to have seen something terrible.

I saw Aunt Li curling her trouser legs and sitting directly by the river, rubbing her insteps with both hands, her withered yellow hair was just a straw marker, and she looked like she was on the stage: "I said Qingqing, it's not easy to see you live alone, and the Lin family doesn't say when to marry you, it's really not authentic to do things." ”

Another person accosted: "Her aunt, don't say that, Qingqing wants to marry a scholar, but this scholar doesn't look down on her." ”

"Lin Nan can't look down on it, but Lin Zhong can look down on it."

You say everything as if Shen Qingqing is not here, even if a woman has a good temperament, she can't tolerate others to break her mouth like this: "I think it's good for me to take care of children alone now." ”

"Good?" The second dog's daughter-in-law had a sharp voice as if she was a suona for a funeral, and she heard something terrible. "Is it good for you to be a widow with a child? Not married for the rest of your life? ”

Shen Qingqing put her hair behind her ears, and her face didn't look round because of the spiritual spring water and her exercise, but it made people feel delicate and cute, and her fair skin was delicate and clear like tender tofu under the sun.

She smiled and flipped her clothes over: "Yes, it's good for me to carry Hao Hao alone." ”

The women in this ancient village are feudal and ignorant, and they have always been men for the sky, and when they heard Shen Qingqing's argument, they all gasped, as if the sky had fallen.

Aunt Li squeezed her eyebrows, she didn't know what she whispered in her mouth, her movements were very funny, and the other women and mothers-in-law also nodded, and then stood up in twos and threes, looking at Shen Qingqing's eyes as if she had done something like she had been stabbed a thousand times.

It doesn't matter if there are fewer people, Shen Qingqing is also happy to be quiet.

Summer clothes are easy to wash, and they are clean in less than half an hour.

Shen Qingqing put the clothes in the basket and carried them, but Xiao Douding, who was about to shout to play next to him, felt that something was wrong.

Xiao Douding and a group of children were playing more than ten meters away from her, and there was no danger in the shallow water, but Xiao Douding was standing far away, with his hands on his waist, and his cheeks bulging as if he was very angry, and there were several half-sized boys standing opposite Xiao Douding, holding the stones they had picked up.

Shen Qingqing just felt that something was wrong, and when he stepped forward to take a look, he heard a few people talking.

Xiao Douding looked very aggrieved: "Erhu, why don't you let me play with you?" ”

The child known as the Second Tiger is white and fat, and at first glance he is overnourished, followed by a child who is about the same age as him.

Erhu said: "We don't want to play with you, your mother is a crazy woman, and you are also a little madman, so we don't want to play with a madman." ”

It turned out that Xiao Douding wanted to play with his partners, but the two tigers were not allowed, Shen Qingqing was not in a hurry, and wanted to see how Xiao Douding coped with it.

Xiao Douding spoke again with a crying tone, his voice was raised, and the debate was general: "My mother is not a crazy woman, my mother is very good to me." ”

"That's it!" Erhu and the children behind shouted in unison. "Your mother is a crazy woman, if you want to seduce the second uncle of the Lin family, you can't do it, and you have to jump into the river, the big madman gave birth to a little madman, and your family is a shameless madman."

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Shen Qingqing would never have believed that these words came out of the mouths of some children.

She looked at Xiao Douding, Xiao Douding cried out loud, but she was out of breath but still protected her mother: "You talk nonsense, my mother is not crazy." ”

Saying that, Xiao Douding took a step forward, his thin body was even thinner than Erhu, he was able to speak neatly because of crying, but he still debated: "My mother can cook, clean up the house, wash clothes, and be good to Haohao, why is she crazy." ”

"It's a crazy person, don't you let people say it?" The second tiger was even more aggressive, and when he saw Xiao Douding crying, he actually made a grimace. "The little madman cried, the little madman cried."

The child's emotions are the most incomprehensible, Shen Qingqing looked distressed, and when he just wanted to step forward and pull Xiao Douding away, he didn't expect that Erhu and his party were rude, and they saw that Xiao Douding alone began to throw stones at him.

Although the stone is not big, it still hurts to hit the body, and Xiaodouding does not resist, just crying on the side.

Shen Qingqing couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly stepped forward and hugged Xiaodouding in his arms, Xiaodouding cried even more fiercely: "Mother, they say you are crazy, but mother-in-law is not crazy." ”

"Yes, my mother is not crazy, and Haohao is not crazy." Shen Qingqing's chest seemed to be slashed by a knife, and he could only keep touching Xiao Douding's hair to comfort him.

Shen Qingqing stood up, took Xiao Douding's hand, and looked at those unreasonable children: "Erhu, why did you throw Haohao with a stone?" ”

Erhu is a child after all, and when he saw the adults coming, he was also weak-hearted, but his neck stiffened and he said: "He is a madman, so we threw stones at him." ”

These words are definitely impossible for children to know, after all, they are educated by adults, Shen Qingqing has always been kind words, but this time he stepped on the bottom line.

Her voice couldn't help but be a little higher: "Who told you that we are crazy?" Isn't it your mother? ”

The child was already frightened and stepped back: "My father and my mother said that you are all crazy, all crazy!" ”

"Erhu, come here." Shen Qingqing shouted. "Today I'm going to ask your mother and father why they say that we are crazy, do we eat your white rice or drink your oil, this time I have to make a good theory."

A child is a child after all, and he was scared when he saw Shen Qingqing's unforgiving appearance, so he threw the stone in his hand and ran away, and the riverside, which was still very lively just now, instantly quieted down.

Xiao Douding's crying had stopped, but he still said one by one: "Mother, you and Haohao are not crazy. ”

"Silly boy." Shen Qingqing wiped his tears away. "We're certainly not crazy anymore, don't listen to other people's nonsense."

"Good!" Xiao Douding nodded heavily, and he didn't know if he heard it in his heart.

was mixed up by these two things, Shen Qingqing's good mood disappeared in an instant, and when she was just washing clothes, she just said that she didn't want to get married, and everyone saw her as if they saw Lord Yama, before the original owner did something out of the ordinary and even took the child to be scolded as a madman.

Shen Qingqing can be regarded as understanding how the four words are written in a terrible way.
