A few days later, the second fool who was a bachelor picked up a bride as a sedan chair driver for the Mei family, saying that he had saved the life of Young Master Mei and that the young master met him on the road. It went very well this time, nothing happened.

The second fool was usually smeared with cinnabar water, and before it was washed off, he invited the shopkeeper Mei who sat on the table and said to him: "Fool, you are the hero of my family, and I have always said that I will thank you again, but the matter has been delayed." If you are willing, come to my house and feed the cattle and horses, and give you five loads of wheat a year. Hehe, the Mei family will feed you!"

The second fool was unprepared, he was stunned for a while, thinking that the Mei family had dozens of cows, and the washer, the grass, and the dung were tired enough, although they ate and drank, but five loads of wheat a year, in essence, it was a long-term work, what is "the Mei family fed you?!"

I was about to say "not going", and immediately thought that if I had lived in the Mei family for a long time, wouldn't I be able to see the young grandmother of the Mei family every day, and the Mei family suddenly asked him to go, which must have been the idea of the young grandmother. He lay down and kowtowed to the shopkeeper Mei and said thank you.

Although he went to Mei's house as a cowherd, after all, he was going to be a person in the Mei family's compound, and a group of villagers who picked up relatives started to coax, this one came to touch the shaved head of the second fool, and that one also came to touch his head.

The second fool got angry and said, "Do you touch your mother?" Men's heads, women's feet, only to see, not to touch!"

The people in the village said: "Look at the two fools who have climbed the high branches, and their speech is also coarse, touch your head and touch your nobility!"

The second fool said, "I have athlete's foot!"

The villagers said: "The second fool has athlete's foot, that is when the sedan chair driver can run, can you still let the Mei family be the sedan chair driver in the future, when will you let people be the sedan chair driver for you?" ”

The second fool said: "My daughter-in-law, I'm afraid that she is still spinning on her father-in-law's legs!"

The villagers said: "You coaxed people, now I heard that there are dozens of people looking for you, but unfortunately the skeleton is bigger, if you are not strong and not good-natured, then you really have the strength to work!"

It's talking about dozens of cows of the Mei family, and the two fools were ridiculed, so angry that they spit out, and everyone was happy.

At noon the next day, the second fool really took a roll of bedding and came to live in the cowshed in the courtyard of the Mei family, and he put on a long apron sewn of oilcloth, and led the ox to brush the cow's hair with a brush in the sun.

The sun was very warm, and the cow was itchy and comfortable in the nest and barked in the sun, and the second fool was also lazy by the sun, so he sat down on the cow, and felt that there were small animals running under his clothes, and he wanted to undress and catch lice, but Grandma Mei Shao looked at him and laughed sneeringly.

The woman came to the drying rope in the courtyard to see the underwear that Young Master Mei was drying, and when she saw the second fool and the cow lying together, the oxtail shook and shook to drive away the flies lying on the bull's eye, and also drove away the flies on the second fool's body, she thought it was funny and laughed. The second fool immediately stood up and said, "Hello young grandmother!"

The woman said, "Come at noon?" Have you ever had lunch here? ”

The second fool said, "I have eaten." ”

The woman said, "Eat enough? ”

The second fool said, "Full." ”

The woman said, "Work hard, and eat well." ”

The second fool said, "Yes." ”

After the second fool replied, his eyes suddenly became sour, he was so big, his mother said this kind of thing to him when he was alive, and there was only this woman. He could reply with many words that were greatly moved, but in front of him was the young grandmother of the Mei family; He had to behave, "Thank you Grandma!" Feed these cows and don't live heavily, if there is anything wrong with the young grandmother, you just have to tell it. ”

The woman in the sun, her eyes didn't seem to open, and said, "You're broken, it's not like you've carried me for a while!"

The second fool remembered the scene of kissing, swallowed his saliva, and smiled bitterly at the woman.

From then on, the two fools were the first to get up in the compound every day, first boiled warm water for the cattle to mix, and then took the mixing stick while knocking on the edge of the cow trough with a tuk tuk tuk while watching everything in the courtyard with his eyes. It's almost a habit.

At this time, the size of the Mei family began to get up, went to the thatched house, combed the mirror, washed the face, held the futon to dry, opened the door of the chicken coop, and the rooster flapped its wings to chase a yellow hat pimple hen, and the second fool paid attention to the whereabouts of the young grandmother.

The young grandmother is at most holding the sheet to dry. The second fool saw it, sometimes he could say a few words, sometimes he looked at it from afar, as long as he could see the woman in the morning, the second fool was in a good mood all day, and he had to say a lot of inexplicable words to the cow, if he didn't see the young grandmother in the morning, he was very irritable, and he was in a trance.

In winter, when the wind was very hard, and the shallow waters of the river were all frozen, the second fool got up early, went to the river to fetch water, and warmed a lot of water for the cattle, and poured it into the big wooden basin in which the Mei family bathed. The second fool went back to the cowshed to eat cigarettes, and he ate very well.

The woman said, "Rest a little longer." ”

The second fool said, "I have strength, I really have strength, I have inexhaustible strength." ”

The woman said, "You can feed the cows and brag about it!"

The second fool walked over, put a flat shaft tied to the ox and put his hands around a horse step, and the word hi was successfully planted.

The woman screamed: "Two poles, don't flash your waist!" The second fool was still showing his ability, and then he was going to lift another axle, and when he took a horse step, the knee of his pants cracked, and the second fool ran to the cowshed for half a day and did not dare to come out.

After lunch, the people of the Mei family took a nap, the two fools wore vests, pulled the old pants with broken knees and dung in the cowshed, and were sweating all over their heads, and the young grandmother lay on the wooden pole by the cowshed and called the two fools, and the two fools were busy wiping their faces.

The woman said, "Don't you want to die, there are still two days before you finish one day." I packed up an old pair of young master's pants, and he can't wear them, so you can wear them. Maybe you're wearing a long one, but I've changed it a little shorter, and I don't know if it's appropriate or not, and it's already on your bed. ”

After the woman finished speaking, she was about to leave, but she came back and said, "I have already told the old shopkeeper about this, you can wear it, others will not say that you stole it." ”

At the same time, she smiled, and her left eye was still squeezed and turned and walked away, but she didn't want a cow to graze in the trough, so she shook her head and threw the hay and soup in the face. The second fool rushed over to pull the cow's head, the woman wiped her face and walked away, the second fool could not vent his passion, copied a wooden stick and beat the cow, the cow because the reins were tied to the pillar, and after being beaten and ran away, it turned around the pillar, and the second fool still beat it, and the pillar shook and dusty, so frightened that the chicken and the dog also bitten.

The old shopkeeper in the hall got up for a lunch break, took his trousers and went to the thatched house, and saw the lecture: "Isn't this your cow not distressed?!" The second fool said, "Shopkeeper, this cow is complaining!" As soon as the stick was thrown, his foot was kicked into the corner of the cowshed.

The second fool tried on Young Master Mei's pants, of course the pants were old, but they were very new to the second fool, and he was surprised that the young grandmother had not measured his figure, but it was just right to fit after being shortened.

The second fool first put on and took it off, and then put it on and took it off again, embarrassed to go out of the cowshed. When the young grandmother saw him and asked him if he wanted to wear the pants, he finally mustered up the courage to wear them, and when he went out, he didn't know where to put his hands, and his legs were stiff and walked in a figure-eight step, and the woman said: "Okay, people are clothes and horses are saddles, and the two fools are much more decent!"

Two fools are natural. In addition to being busy with the cowshed in the yard, I am also busy with chores in the yard! He also wore these pants and led the oxen out of the compound to mill rice on the mill. The shopkeeper was bored, and he also came to the side of the mill, and the people next to him envied the good pants of the second fool, and the second fool said: "Trust the shopkeeper's blessing!"

The shopkeeper said: "The second fool is our Mei family!" At the end of the year, I have to buy a new mile for the second fool!"

Back in the compound, the shopkeeper said: "Second fool, although this dress was worn by your young master, but only wore a piece of water, it turned out to be a cloth bought for four silver dollars, and four liters of wheat will be deducted from it, so that you can pick up a bargain, who let the second fool be a member of the Mei family!"

The second fool didn't say a word about this to the young grandmother. Of course, he led a cow and pretended to brush the cow on the dirt yard in the yard, so that they would have something to say to each other and something to do, and the two fools would not seem so nervous and restrained.

At this time, the young grandmother often looked at the second fool consciously or unconsciously after making fun of some of the two fools' very silly behaviors, and the second fool guessed in her heart that she must be proud of the suitability of the pants she had changed.

He said, "Young grandma, are you okay?" ”

The woman said, "Not good. ”

The words of the second fool were originally a comforting word, if the woman said "it's okay", the second fool's heart would be at ease, but the woman said "not good", and the second fool couldn't say anything more.

The woman looked at the two fools, and tears flowed down her eyes.

As soon as the woman burst into tears, the second fool had no experience to deal with it, panicked, and his mouth was as stupid as a piece of wood, and he also hooked his head. In front of his feet was a tiny ant moving something, and when he saw it clearly, it was a dead ant.

Is this dead ant the husband of the little ant? Wife? It was hard enough for a weak body to carry a corpse as big as himself, and the second fool guessed that the little ant's heart must have more trauma than the body, and tears also fell.

The woman suddenly whispered, "The shopkeeper is here!" He raised his hands and pretended to wipe his tears while pretending to rub his face, and at the same time said loudly: "Second fool, how many teeth does this cow have?" But before the second fool could react, he stood up and asked her father-in-law what she was eating at noon today, she was going to the room to inform the cook, and the shopkeeper didn't come over. And the second fool wept alone there.

The second fool, who had insomnia again this night, carefully recalled the first acquaintance with the young grandmother and the scene of every meeting, and the woman's concern for herself was undoubted. A beautiful woman like a bodhisattva, and at the same time has a motherly heart. This has caused the two fools to indulge in an indescribable and indescribable joy. At noon, the woman said her "bad" to his face, and when he shed tears, the second fool felt that this woman treated him with an open heart, and completely regarded him as a relative or confidant.

However, what can two fools, a subordinate, a cowherd of the Mei family, do for her?

In the spring of March, Young Master Mei's external injuries looked completely healed, combed his shiny braids, sat on a chair, and on the small table in front of him, the young grandmother put tea and hookah, and was smashing a bowl of walnuts, smashing a kernel and giving it to him to chew. The second fool walked over and bowed down to greet: "Young master, you are basking in the sun!"

"Hmm" the young master replied weakly, but his voice was so treacherous, like a weak woman.
