Ningxi Fort, Zhu family.

In the low earthen house, the clay kang filled with firewood and grass rose in the morning, blocking the cold brought by the night snow in front of the door.

Zhu Laohan's continuous moaning made Zhu Aming, who was guarding the kang, upset.

In the past few days, Zhu Aming can be regarded as having suffered from not having a mother-in-law.

Although Zhu Laohan and his wife have hated to give their hearts to Zhu Aliang over the years, the pampered things should not be used for a long time. After admiring the call of the old man Zhu for two hours in this low and dilapidated house, he slipped out to find those fox friends to eat, drink and have fun.

There is no way, the old couple can be regarded as having a good face of Zhu Aming, the old woman only cried outside the gate twice, and Zhu Aming, who was about to go to Niu Saddle Fort to find Shen Gui, obediently became a filial son in front of the kang.

It's just that this filial son deserves it, which makes Zhu Aming feel uncomfortable.

Don't talk about pouring urine with, you have to endure Old Man Zhu's insults from time to time. It seems that Zhu Aming and his wife have been separated over the years, and it has become the fault of the young couple for a while.

Zhu Amin also endured this. Anyway, pretending to be deaf and dumb in front of this old couple has become his basic skill for living a good life for so many years.

But it's not that simple.

In the month of the farmer's month, the diet has changed from three meals to two meals. It is also late, and I will get up for breakfast at the beginning of the morning, and eat dinner at the end of the afternoon. The time when the thunder can't move is a habit for many years.

For five days since taking care of Zhu Laohan, Zhu Aming only feels like an outsider, being called as a slave by others. Even, not even a minion.

At three o'clock, the old woman would stand outside the courtyard and call Zhu Amin over. Shen Shizhong will find a reason to send Zhu Amin out, and at sunset, he will call Zhu Amin over again.

This is simply not wanting Zhu Aming to eat a meal at home.

Many times Zhu Aming wanted to directly pick and choose who he loved, but he didn't dare. In his heart, filial piety is to endure after all, and the praise of the neighbors makes him swagger when he walks out of the door.

Moreover, there is another extremely important matter at the moment, that is, to heal the debt owed by Old Man Zhu.

has always had a lot of money, and if it can drag on for a year and a half, he can also take it out. But now that spring planting is coming, everyone has to take advantage of this reason to ask for debts, plus their own seeds, these have to be prepared.

Sad.

He came up with the idea of selling a silver bottle, and recently asked someone to ask someone to ask such a small girl, but she only gave five taels of silver, and even the value of a cow could not be compared.

But five taels of silver is enough for your family to tide over the difficulties. But Shen Gui, the mother-in-law, refused to agree. In addition, Yin Zhu'er and Jin Hui'er are still in the Shen family, which makes him even more worried.

In addition, he has been making some batter and eating for several days, and his shriveled stomach and embarrassing situation have made this face-saving man's resentment towards Shen Gui and the old wife of the Zhu family increasing day by day.

When he came back to his senses and heard Old Man Zhu's scolding like the buzzing of flies, Zhu Aming finally couldn't bear the suffocation in his heart, ignored Old Man Zhu's crying and howling, and strode out of the house.

The sweet wind swept up a few pieces of snow foam and smashed them on Zhu Aming's face.

The subtle snowflakes felt the flame of the human heart, and instantly turned into a trace of coldness, which gradually calmed Zhu Aming's burning thoughts.

Listening to other people's mothers-in-law are busy at home, and then look at their own yard, in the morning, before they have time to clear the snow, they were called over by the old lady, and it is still white at this time, Zhu Aming's heart is suddenly not a taste.

The resentment against Shen Gui finally turned into a sigh, and looking at the old woman of the Zhu family who was squatting at the root of the south wall not far away and muttering to other women, she suddenly seemed to understand something.

Ignoring the shouts of the old woman of the Zhu family, Zhu Aming walked to his courtyard, picked up a broom and swept it up unhurriedly.

"Hey, Shen Gui, you're back from your mother's house!"

The voice came from the daughter-in-law of a family not far away, this out-of-town daughter-in-law who fled from Lanzhou, with her hearty voice and somewhat awkward vernacular, which was easy to recognize. And this voice instantly made Zhu Aming, who was bowing his head and sweeping the floor, feel up.

Shen Gui left home angrily, and everyone in the village now knows about it.

Reviews are naturally mixed.

Some people blame Shen Gui's departure on Zhu Aming paying for Old Man Zhu's treatment, naturally scolding and scolding - no one wants to be restless because of this when they are old, it is better to warn future generations with moral coercion earlier.

But what you know is another story.

In order to cure my father's illness, I have to sell my own girl. Although the girls are all money-losers, they are also individuals, aren't they? Sell a girl today, sell a son tomorrow, and what will you sell in the future?

Compared with the filial piety of those scholars who opened their mouths and closed their mouths, the common people paid more attention to reality. The cunning of the peasants makes them understand how to survive better and let the bloodline be passed on from generation to generation.

If you have to say the last sentence of the ancient text, it is probably more suitable if there is only a pipe: Cangqiao is enough to know etiquette.

Zhu Aming threw down the broom in his hand, and didn't care that most of the snow in the yard was piled up, and he ran out of the yard.

Shen Gui was taking a pair of children at this time, and was sent over by Shen Yun in a mule cart.

When the neighbors say hello, they can't rush over. After getting out of the mule cart, holding a child in one hand, she smiled and nodded at the greeting woman: "Well, I'm back." ”

After all, there are many contacts, and after a few words of greeting, Shen Gui suddenly remembered.

"By the way, Amei, some time ago, the owner borrowed 300 yuan from your family, and I will give it to you later."

"Ah, our neighbors, you can use this money first when you are tight. That's not what our family lacks at this time. After the friendship, it was naturally easy to speak, this woman named Amei shirked for a long time, and repeatedly confirmed that Shen Gui still had money left, so she was subordinate.

When he was done, he also instructed: "If one day is not enough, you will come to me." ”

Shen Gui smiled, accosted a few more words, and walked towards his house.

Seeing that the old woman of the Zhu family was still muttering to others, Shen Gui said hello, anyway, people didn't care, and there was Shen Yun by her side, although the previous commotion had passed in the past few years, it still left a shadow on the old woman's heart.

Shen Gui didn't pay back the money to the families with such fanfare.

However, when I thought of Zhu Aming's slap on her that day, I was still angry. This time, she would rather make a big fuss again, and tell Zhu Aming that if she wants to sell her daughter, it is absolutely impossible.

Getting closer and tighter away from home, Yinhua'er's body trembled a little.

Shen Guiqiang was full of courage and walked towards the door with a smile.

Zhu Aming had been waiting outside the door for a long time, watching Shen Gui's family pay off their debts one by one, and suddenly he felt that he was so angry.

Don't even think about it, the money must come from the Shen family. thought that he could be strong enough not to owe his mother-in-law a favor, but in the end, he still didn't have that ability. Although I still feel that this kind of thing makes a woman come out very embarrassed, but for some reason, Zhu Aming is also relieved.

Five people, five moods. But at the end, there was only one left, and that was relatively speechless, but suddenly a smile rose.

Zhu Aming let Shen Yun into the house, but Shen Gui had already started to cook on the kang. Zhu Aming was the only one in the house for several days, and he felt cold and piercing when he walked in, and he really didn't know how Zhu Aming survived.

"Your sister is not here for a few days, it's really sad these days." Intentionally calming the atmosphere with Shen Yun, seeing that Yinhua'er was hiding behind Shen Yun in fear, Zhu Aming said with some emotion.

Shen Yun nodded: "After all, after so many years in the family, suddenly there are few people in the kang head, and it must be unaccustomed." ”

Seeing what Zhu Aming wanted to say, Shen Yun shook his head: "Between you husband and wife, in fact, there is nothing to fight and make trouble, and there are some things that no one can explain." ”

"You're right, hehe, husband and wife, the kang head fights the kang tail. I know that I was in a hurry to force this bad idea, and your sister wants to go to him when she goes back, but ......"

Zhu Amin couldn't say these things at home.

But Shen Yun understood.

nodded: "The money that Sister brought this time, I think it should be filled in the hole." Brother-in-law, I won't instigate you to do anything unfilial, but in the future, don't hit your children with your mind again. ”

"Your life has not been easy in the past two years, and I haven't helped much, but I have asked you to pay for it."

Shen Yun shook his head: "The affairs of my family, it is a good thing that it does not involve you." Now that you and Sister A are relatives at home, it is also a matter of mutual support. Just live a good life in the future, and don't mention the matter of money. ”

Zhu Aming couldn't say what he felt in his heart.

Shen Yun's meaning is clearly that he will no longer care about this money, he will not mention it again, and he will not ask for it again.

But Zhu Aming knew in his heart that it was more than two dollars, and even if he had nothing to do at home, it would take several years to accumulate it.

Just as he was about to say something, Shen Yun pulled the silver bottle out: "Okay, this matter is over." Girl, if you don't go to your father's place yet, you have to pester your uncle, and your uncle can't afford to support you. ”

A joke made the silver bottle blush.

glanced at Zhu Aming astringently, slowly moved his steps, and walked in front of Zhu Aming, with a little cowardice: "Daddy." ”

Rao is a man like Zhu Aming, and at this time, the strength of his heart was melted by the voice of the little girl. Just like Shen Gui yesterday, he hugged the silver bottle tightly in his arms, and the bean-sized tears fell down instantly, smashing several petals on the ground.

Shen Gui, who had filled the kang outside, happened to walk to the door at this time. Listening to the father and daughter in the room, they couldn't help but burst into tears.

Jin Hui'er looked at the three of them very strangely, wondering why they all cried all of a sudden. Shen Yun, on the other hand, looked at the family, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
