Shen Qinqi looked at her daughter, and couldn't help but reach out to wipe her tears, saying:

"Look, this smoky fire, my daughter, who is better looking than the flowers, is about to become the king of the stove! According to my mother, what kind of culture is not cultural knowledge and knowledge, my mother has lived for half her life, and she can't even write her own name, so she hasn't come over the same way. Besides, in our pimple, cultural knowledge can't be eaten as food, even if you have a belly of ink, you can't use it at all! This girl has grown up, and finding her in-laws is the main thing. Since your Aunt Xingmei helped reopen this line of grinding tofu and selling, it is still the only one in the village. Our tofu is genuine, from adulteration and no shortage of catties and two, naturally it is better than Zhu Le back then, others can also be trusted, at that time he wanted to compete with us for business, but he has a bad conscience, there is no way to compare with us, we don't have to pout people with a pole, earn money that ignores conscience, that is a lack of morality. Don't look at your father's sluggish head, he is not manly at all, and he used to be the number one person in the village. Don't say anything now, if it weren't for the tricks and piercing, I wouldn't know what my surname was for a while, and my life wouldn't have passed. However, your father is a stubborn and upright person, and his character is not bad. It's just - why bother in the first place if you knew today? Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone out to work! You two have to remember that at all times it is - people are respectful, and dogs bite ugly! This month, the mother put together the accounts, in addition to the rest of the money can also make some money, this often said, 'It is better to have a family than to make a penny'! When your father comes back, if he can really earn money, he will plug the hole that he owes, because there is a famine that can weigh down people who can't hold their chests and raise their heads. Don't really say it, your grandparents are blessed, fortunately they died early, otherwise they would have to live and suffer this day! If we live with dedication and frugality, our days can go back to the past. In the future, when you marry a man you like, when your father and I have saved up some more money, and your brother is older, then marry him a daughter-in-law, then your father and I will be considered to be over, and people will soon be unable to hold their legs. Hey-this person, from childhood to youth, he lives for himself, and when he reaches middle age, he lives for his father and children, all of them are the same, don't say anyone! When you reach the age of your father, you'll realize this—"

"Mother, don't say it, you're right, this- my brother and I both know." Hearing her mother mention Zhu Le, who is like a devil and a beast, Mei Xiang was so distressed and extremely irritable that she was suffering from the pain of ten thousand arrows. But she has always been a good daughter who is obedient and sensible, and she knows that she cares about her father and mother, so her words still have the flavor of coquettishness. Since her father was not at home, she was surprised to find that her mother's personality had changed a lot, either taciturn or nagging. In the past, she knew the truth that the obedient person is filial piety, and never refuted and contradicted her father, but today she can't, and there is a desperate sadness and indignation that makes her almost explode.

"It is said that 'fishing and touching shrimp delay crops', dare to love this tofu serious thing is also delayed, a few days did not go into the field to look at the wasteland, although it is about to be harvested, no matter what, but the mother's face is thin, I am afraid that others will say that it will not be lazy! This devil didn't ask for food, and he couldn't be happy too early, yes a few years ago, seeing that the grain that was about to be harvested was smashed by a hailstorm, which caused our mother and son to dig up food in the rat nest. Look at the crow's mouth, what are you talking about! Do you two know what is the most precious thing in the world? It's—"

Chu Ge replied first: "Grain! ”

Shen Qinqi touched Chu Ge's wet head and praised with a smile: "It's still my son who is smart, that's right, you can't live without food!" Say it down and do it, your Aunt Xingmei is kind to our family, everyone must remember and not forget, if you want to say that the Bodhisattva is a living Bodhisattva! If it weren't for her, our family might have been separated a long time ago, and my mother didn't want to live at that time, she just couldn't bear to leave you two! I--When my mother finishes her work in the field, I don't need you to cook, and I can't delay my studies. Now no matter what your Aunt Xingmei says, my mother will think that it is right, she said that it is useful to learn cultural knowledge, it must be useful, and when your father comes back to test what you have both learned, he will be very happy to hear it. Actually, just like him, he doesn't know a few big characters, and it's almost the same as me! ”

At this, she choked up and cried.

Mei Xiang didn't say anything more, she squatted down to add firewood to the stove, and took the opportunity to let the uncontrollable tears flow down unscrupulously. The water in the pot made a boiling sound, and the hot steam on the lid of the pot steamed up, blending into the hazy trance that twilight shrouded the room. She accepted her mother's nagging like a bittersweet memory, which sounded sad but touching. She didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear that she would cry out loud as soon as she spoke.

Chu Ge comforted his mother: "Mother, I believe that our life will be good, isn't it stronger than before, and when I grow up, I will be able to help with everything." Look at the Wangwang family, they are really old and young, he has no father, and he can't live like this! ”

"My mother said this because I was happy, if my mother couldn't think about it at that time, I wouldn't be able to see today!"

"No matter how rich or poor you are, a family reunion is a blessing, right?"

"It seems that your studies are not in vain, your books are not in vain, and you are more sensible."

"Mother, Want Want always likes to brag, saying that his father is a great hero who can hunt and martial arts. But I also heard some people say that his father is a big lazy worm, who knows how to wander around all day long, and does not like to work in the fields. Rong Fanhui's finger was chopped off by his father, which is admitted. Isn't such a person a ruffian, how can he be a great hero? But no one in the class dared to provoke him, not even Chang Fa, he was too crossed, some people said that he was like his father, and even Mrs. Wu praised him. Chu Ge said this, because he was a little jealous of Wangwang.

"Don't you know why?"

Chu Ge shook his head.

Shen Qinqi said patiently: "Because Want Wang's father, Miao Yunchang, is a person who even Old Lady Wu admires, he must not be wrong." It doesn't matter if he is a real hero or a fake hero, you have to remember that as long as he is a respected hero, he is worth learning and an example to follow. Let's just say that no one dares to bully Wangwang, that's because others sympathize with him when they see him without a father, because they feel that their orphans and widows are pitiful, plus the elderly grandparents, and his mother is good with your Aunt Xingmei, no one dares to protect her, everyone has to look up. ”

"Oh - I see, I see. Sister, after you left, the teacher taught a new lesson, it was Liu Yuxi's "Burrow", and the teacher specially asked me to teach you after school, okay if I recite it to you? ”

"Hmm!" Mei Xiang spoke smoothly. mentioned the teacher, which made her even more heartbreaking, she no longer has the right to love!

But Chu Ge recited in style:

"'The mountain is not high, but the immortal is famous.

The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual.

Si is a burrow, but Wu Dexin.

The moss marks are green, and the grass is green.

There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding.

You can tune the piano and read the Golden Sutra.

There is no silk and bamboo, and there is no case.

Nanyang Zhuge Lu, West Shuzi Cloud Pavilion.

Confucius: What's ugly? ’”

Chu Ge is also gifted and intelligent, and he has a particularly good memory, he has always been trying to compete with his sister, in order to be able to get a compliment from the teacher, which will be regarded as the most glorious thing in front of the whole class.

"You get up, go study, it's not dark yet, don't wait to light the lamp and boil the oil, that will be a waste of money! Otherwise, when your teacher asks you tomorrow, it will be a shame that you can't answer. Shen Qinqi kicked Mei Xiang, who was squatting in front of the stove pit and didn't get up.

At this time, Mei Xiang really wanted to throw herself into her mother's arms and cry loudly, pouring out her grievances and pain as a victim, but she couldn't!

If you are ashamed to say it and don't say it, it can be regarded as a family ugliness that should not be publicized!

Once it is said, it will inevitably be an earth-shattering event in this small village, this place that is not bound by the law will judge the most heinous people in other ways, Zhu Le's death is not a pity, but her reputation as a pure girl will be ruined, even if she lives secretly, she is also ashamed to see people, and the family will not be able to raise their heads for this!

As a dumb loss, this is too cheap pervert Zhu Le, and he can't marry this dwarf who is older than his father because of his grievances, and he has to be wronged to death if he doesn't repay this hatred!

What should she do?

No matter what the choice is, it will still be unfortunate for her!

The careless mother and son didn't notice anything wrong with her.

When the table was served with rice and pickles, Mei Xiang lay on the kang and let her tears quietly wet the pillow.

Shen Qinqi and Chu Ge were eating in the bowl.

Chu Ge knocked down the bowl with chopsticks and said, "Sister, it's time to eat!" ”

"Eat, I'm not hungry."

Shen Qinqi was shocked when he heard Mei Xiang crying, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Who recruited you to provoke you? Is there something uncomfortable? Why are you really crying! ”

"Sister, who bullied you? Tell me, I'll give you a breath! ”

"It's okay, I think- Daddy!"

Mei Xiang choked up, if her father was at home, would Zhu Le still dare to do anything wrong? A home really needs a man to protect it!
