Mao looked at Mao Sheng sweating profusely and talking incoherently, she couldn't help hiding behind the curtain, thinking that if she wanted to watch it any longer, she had to die in a hurry.

said that it was too late, and then it was fast, I saw Mao Shi striding forward, three steps and two steps in front of Rengui, first with his eyes to disdain Maosheng, and then changed his face to Rengui and said: "Brother, your eldest brother is stupid, he wants to marry you as a brother with a different surname, and he is afraid that you will reject him, so he is so spitting, and I don't usually see him like this." ”

Rengui smiled and said: "So that's the case, no wonder the eldest brother wants to talk and stop, it's the eldest brother who is too careful, the brother was originally saved by the eldest brother and sister-in-law, this life grace is not to say that it is to be a brother to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and it is also my benevolence's blessing, why should the eldest brother see it like this!" ”

Hearing Rengui's words, Mao Sheng just smiled stupidly, Mao touched Mao Sheng with his arm, and said: "You see how refreshing other brothers are, didn't you tell me just now that you have a feeling of sympathy for your brother, why have you become so useless now, you are still not a man?" ”

Mao's words stimulated Maosheng every minute, it was embarrassing for a big man to be said so by his daughter-in-law, but he didn't expect that there would be a man at the end, what does this have to do with whether a man is a man or not, Maosheng thought a little angrily, and couldn't help glaring at Mao's with his eyes.

Mao ignored Mao Sheng anymore, and went straight to the kitchen to cook the meal, leaving Rengui and Mao Sheng in the hall, and Mao Sheng only felt that the atmosphere was very embarrassing.

"Big brother, let my sister-in-law put the incense burner in a while, and the two of us brothers will bow to the sky. I don't want to be born in the same year, but I want to die in the same year. Rengui broke the embarrassing atmosphere and said very boldly.

"Good brother. Big brother, this is with your sister-in-law. After saying that, Mao Sheng turned around and walked to the kitchen.

Rengui looked at Maosheng, who was a little introverted and shy, and unconsciously smiled slightly, thinking that the eldest brother was really an honest man.

After a while, the fragrant meal was put on the table, Mao was busy arranging the incense burner, and Mao Sheng took the fire and lit three incense sticks and two candles. solemnly invited the statue of Guan Yu to hang on the wall, and the table was full of enshrined wine and food.

Ready for a qiē, the two knelt on the ground. He swore to Guan Yu: "Master Guan is above, the disciple Wang Maosheng is nine years old today, he was born Chinese New Year's Eve on the sixteenth day of September, and he met Xue Rengui on the road." Sworn as brothers with different surnames. From now on, there will be blessings and hardships, and if there is a different heart, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. ”

Rengui also knelt down and kowtowed to Guan Yu and swore an oath: "Master Guan is above, the disciple Xue Rengui is twenty-one years old, born on August 15, and now he is married to the eldest brother Wang Maosheng and becomes a brother with a different surname. Bullying brothers and forgetting sisters-in-law, willing to be hit by thunder. Ten thousand arrows pierced the heart and died. ”

Rengui looked at Maosheng, and the two swore together: "From now on, we will be brothers with different surnames, not to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day and month of the same year." ”

After speaking, the two of them knocked their heads on the ground, and Mao poured wine for them, one cup of heaven and earth, two cups of Guan Yu, and three glasses of salute.

After drinking, the two smiled and called each other: "Big brother," "Virtuous brother."

Mao took away the statue of Guan Yu and collected the incense burner on the table, leaving only the steaming meal.

Mao Sheng said: "Brother, sit down and eat, you're hungry." ”

Rengui sat down with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, let's also come to eat together, they are all their own family, so they don't have to stick to etiquette." ”

At this time, Mao had been hungry for a long time, and he felt weak when he walked, and his eyes were full of gold stars.

At this moment, there were already seven or eight bowls of rice into Rengui's stomach, Mao sat down, originally wanted to add a bowl of rice to eat by himself, but saw Rengui hungry wolf-like eating, I didn't feel a little surprised, Maosheng held a wine glass to respect Rengui, but Rengui has not eaten a full meal for a few days, and now the delicious meal is in front of him, he has long ignored Maosheng's storage zài, and has forgotten the cumbersome etiquette.

Seeing this, Mao Sheng just smiled and drank the wine, and began to add rice to Rengui, at this time Rengui ate more and more fiercely, seeing that a pot of rice was eaten by him like this, Mao Sheng and Mao just smiled helplessly, Mao simply stopped eating, and looked at Rengui's eating appearance and was full.

Rengui noticed it, put down the thick bowl in his hand embarrassedly, and said with a little embarrassment: "Big brother and sister-in-law, my brother is hungry, and I lost my politeness just now, and I hope that my eldest brother and sister-in-law will not blame." ”

Mao showed a stiff smile and said, "Don't blame, don't blame, it's a blessing for my brother to be able to eat." ”

Maosheng was more honest, and he still smiled and persuaded Rengui to eat more, and said that if he was full, his body would be better.

Rengui smiled to himself, he didn't know how to answer, but he didn't dare to eat any more, thinking that if he continued to eat like this, even if there was a pot of white rice in front of him, it would not be enough to eat, and he would definitely be disliked by others.

Rengui had made up his mind, so he said, "I'm full, my eldest brother and sister-in-law hurry up and eat more." After speaking, he was going to add food to Mao's, and he hiccuped and pretended to be very full.

After eating and drinking, the three of them sat together and chatted about homely words, there was talk and laughter in the house, a lively scene, Rengui seemed to have not felt such a loving atmosphere for a long time.

In this way, Rengui lived in Maosheng's house, and ate a bucket of rice every day, and he was still in a state of being full, which made Maosheng very worried.

Originally, he had a small business, and he didn't have much savings in his hands, so in order to plan for the future, the Mao family had to be his own valuable things, so he was doing it every day, eating every day, and disdainful for seven or eight days, and the Maosheng family began to have a tight budget.

If you put it in normal times, you can make do with it, but this time is different, the heavy snow a few days ago blocked the mountain road, and it is impossible to transport tofu, and you can't sell much tofu every day.

There was no way, Maosheng exchanged a valuable thing at home for food, and even the cost of making tofu was bought into food, but this was still not enough to eat benevolently for two days.

Mao couldn't bear it anymore, but when he thought of the future, he had to wipe his tears, handed over the only hairpin left on his head to Mao Sheng, and asked him to exchange as much food as possible, which was the last belongings.

Finally, on this day, the snow from the mountain stream slowly melted into snow and flowed down the stream.

Mao Sheng observed the melting of the snow on the mountain road every day, and when he saw that the snow had begun to melt, he happily ran home, called Mao and Rengui, and began to make tofu day and night. (To be continued......)
