Chapter 5: Unexpected Joy
The strong man saw that Fugui didn't listen to what his father Zhang Youcai said, and thought that it was difficult for this kid to really want to take care of this matter, so he said from his mouth: "What, is it difficult for you to really want to take care of this matter."
Fugui didn't pay attention to the strong man, walked up to his father Zhang Youcai, snatched the grain exchanged for food stamps from his father's hand, took it to the strong man and handed it to the strong man and said, "Do you look at these enough money to be worth those big cakes?" ”
The strong man opened the cloth bag and looked inside, and said in shock: "Grain...... grain", then smiled and said, "Enough, enough", and then walked away happily with the grain in the cloth bag.
Father Zhang Youcai walked up to Fugui and kicked Fugui's ass with straw sandals made of hemp rope, and said angrily: "You loser, I don't care if you want to save people, but ...... But do you know how much those flatbreads cost, how much is the grain in the sacks? You have to your dad and me to death! ”
Fugui let his father Zhang Youcai kick his buttocks, and he didn't complain, after all, it was because of his actions just now that he and his father had no rations for this month, and they could only eat wild vegetables to fill their stomachs for the next month.
The young descendant saw that he had been rescued, and saw that the strong man had already gone far away, so he stood up and said thank you to Fugui, but Fugui didn't pay attention to him, so he patted the dusty pants on his butt that were kicked by his father Zhang Youcai.
Zhang Youcai saw that the food was gone, even if he beat and scolded his son again, it was useless, so he had to eat Coptis dumbly, and he swallowed it in anger, Fugui and his father Zhang Youcai continued to rush home, and when they walked to the stream outside the village, they found that they were followed by a person, this person was none other than the young thief.
At first, they didn't care, but as they walked, the latter still followed their father and son closely, Zhang Youcai felt that something was wrong, so he turned around and scolded the young descendant: "You thief, is it possible that you still want to steal the sesame oil in my old man's hand, you don't have to follow us, otherwise I'm welcome."
Zhang Youcai turned around and continued to walk home with his son Zhang Fugui, turning sideways and looking behind from time to time, until he didn't find that the young descendant was comfortable and down-to-earth and Fugui on the way home.
When Zhang Youcai and his son Fugui walked to the door of the house, they turned sideways and saw the young descendant not far from the dirt behind them.
Zhang Youcai picked up a few small pebbles and threw them in the direction of the young descendant, but after all, he was old, and his strength was not as active as that of the young man, and the young descendant's body was quite agile, and he dodged the stones thrown by Zhang Youcai in three or five clicks.
Zhang Youcai was angry, so he scolded from his mouth: "You thief who killed the day, my old Han's house is this dilapidated and tiled house, what do you want to steal from me?" ”
This young descendant also responded to Zhang Youcai from afar and said: "Uncle, I don't want to steal your family's things, I want to stay in your house and be your son's daughter-in-law!" ”
Zhang Youcai was shocked after hearing this, Fugui was also shocked by these words, his pupils widened, Zhang Youcai looked at the young descendant carefully, no matter how he looked at him, he couldn't tell that he was a female baby, so he opened his mouth and scolded: "You are damn this god, my old man can't tell if you are a man or a woman, you don't want to pee to see what kind of virtue you are, your face is as black as coal, how can it be a female baby, don't you think that the old man I am a bully."
The young student took off his hat, scattered his long hair, and wiped the ashes on his face vigorously with his clothes, and the living girl suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Youcai and his son Fugui.
Zhang Youcai and his son Fugui rubbed their eyes in surprise at the same time, for fear that they were wrong, and after several times they were sure, they laughed again, Zhang Youcai murmured to his son Fugui and said excitedly: "Fugui...... Rich...... Be... It's a girl, you have a daughter-in-law...... You've got a daughter-in-law."
Fugui also rubbed his hands together excitedly and stomped his feet, there was an indescribable sense of joy in his mouth, and he secretly thought of the things that he touched when he hugged her with his hands just now......
This descendant is called Li Jianmei, because there are no relatives at home, and he begs and wanders everywhere alone, that is, in order to beg for some life, the reason why he smeared his cheeks with pot ash is to ensure his own safety, after all, a woman wandering everywhere will inevitably encounter any dangers, so she disguised herself as a male baby.
Zhang Youcai hurriedly shouted excitedly: "Doll, hurry up...... Fast... Come here, let the old man take a good look", Li Jianmei walked over, and when he walked to Zhang Youcai's side, Zhang Youcai stared directly at the young descendant Li Jianmei in front of him, and continued: "Doll, did the old man hurt you when he threw the stone just now!" ”。
Li Jianmei turned around in front of Zhang Youcai, and then said from her mouth: "My body is agile, and a stone can't hit me."
Zhang Fugui was already dumbfounded when he stood aside and watched, Zhang Youcai pulled Li Jianmei's sleeve and said, "Doll, ...... quickly Come in", Zhang Youcai kicked Fugui again, telling him not to be stupid and in a daze, Fugui followed Li Jianmei into the house.
Zhang Youcai found a wooden stool, shook the ashes, let Li Jianmei sit on the wooden stool, looked at Li Jianmei again, and after looking at it, he continued to ask, "Where are you from?" Where do you live? Who are the people in the family? ……
Li Jianmei said to Zhang Youcai 1510: "I am from Shandong, my whole family is dead, and I am left alone, and I don't know where I have gone after begging all the way."
"Poor baby! You're the only one left," Zhang Youcai said.
"My parents died early, and I lived at my uncle's house when I was a child, but my uncle had to force me to marry a person who had tuberculosis, so I escaped, I fled all the way, and I didn't know where I fled.
After Zhao Youcai asked the reason for his family's background, he followed up and asked: "Doll, what you said just now is true, do you really want to marry my son and be my daughter-in-law?" ”
Li Jianmei said seriously: "Uncle, your son doesn't know that I am a girl and is willing to help me, just because he didn't let me be hammered by that strong man just now, I know that he has a good heart, and I don't know where I should go, so I will decide that I am dead, whoever is good to me, I will follow whom, I am willing to marry your baby and be your daughter-in-law."
Zhang Youcai happily closed his mouth, but I am afraid that the doll in front of him only reluctantly agreed because of the gratitude in front of him, in case he regretted it for a long time, wouldn't it be a joke, the villagers pay the most attention to this face, so he said to Li Jianmei: "Doll, our family is poor, the poor even have food without a meal, our village is also the poorest village here, so poor that even foreign girls are not willing to marry into our village, if you marry my son is rich, I dare not say that the old man can let you eat a meal!" ”
"Uncle, there are many poor people these days, but poverty is not terrible, as long as you are willing to work harder, you can still get by, I know that you are afraid that I can't stand the suffering, I think I am just talking about it temporarily, but I really want to marry you, as long as you are rich and noble and can treat me better, I have no other requirements, and I don't need to do a special job, I just want to live a down-to-earth life", Li Jianmei said to Zhang Youcai with a smile.
After listening to what Li Jianmei said, the tears in the corners of Zhang Youcai's eyes kept surging under his nose, and he shook his mouth and muttered to himself: "Fugui, damn it, your son Fugui finally has a daughter-in-law, and this piece of heart in my heart is over."
Zhang Fugui squatted next to his father Zhang Youcai, looking at the tears dripping from the corners of his eyes by his father Zhang Youcai, knowing that his father was excited and shed tears because of happiness, and he couldn't help but follow his father Zhang Youcai to leave tears, and the crying of Zhang Youcai and Zhang Fugui in the house spread, I didn't know that I thought something was going on at home, only Li Jianmei who was sitting on the wooden bench knew that they were excited at this moment.
Early the next morning, Zhang Youcai banged gongs and drums in the whole village to gather the happy events of his son Zhang Fugui, and the whole village heard the sound of gongs and drums and looked through the crack in the door.
Zhang Youcai beat gongs and drums as he walked, and kept saying: My son is rich and has a daughter-in-law...... My son is rich and has a daughter-in-law.........
The villagers who heard Zhang Youcai's words all opened the gatehouse and walked out, watching Zhang Youcai beat gongs and drums vigorously, shouting as he walked, and the big man in the village said to Zhang Youcai: "Uncle Youcai, you said that Fugui is going to get married, is it true?"
From time to time, someone in the crowd who came out replied: "That's it, that's it, the poor in our village can't even look at a female mosquito, and the woman who came, besides, you have a talented uncle's family so poor, and that woman dares to marry your son and be rich!" ”
Zhang Youcai was angry and angry when he heard it, but after thinking about it repeatedly, he said from his mouth: "I said, can you stop eating grapes and saying that grapes are sour!" How...... Don't you believe that my son can find a daughter-in-law?"
Zhang Dazhuang smiled and said to Zhang Youcai: "Uncle Youcai, we really don't believe it, if you can find a daughter-in-law in Fugui, then I'm afraid there will be no singles in our village."
After hearing this, the villagers all burst into laughter, Zhang Youcai was a little angry, and continued: "Da Zhuang, if my son Fugui finds a daughter-in-law, then what should you do?" ”
"Uncle Cai, if Fugui marries a daughter-in-law, then I, Zhang Dazhuang, will charter all the banquets of Fugui, you can see it", Zhang Dazhuang said in front of the whole village.
"Okay, good, Da Zhuang, this is what you said, but don't regret it", Zhang Youcai said with a smile.
Zhang Dazhuang patted his chest and said: "As I said, if Fugui can marry a daughter-in-law, then I, Zhang Dazhuang, will charter his banquet."
Just as the people in the village were muttering in a circle, suddenly a child stood on the branch of the tree at the head of the village and shouted: Look...... Brother Fugui brought his daughter-in-law here...... Brother Fugui brought his daughter-in-law here.........
