When Bai Jiaxuan heard that Lu Zilin's family had a more difficult scripture to read, the matter of filial piety and greed was not a good thing.

Lu Zilin couldn't keep up his spirits for more than a year, and his son Zhaopeng reluctantly stayed at home for three or four days after marriage and went to the city, and he didn't go back to Bailuyuan for a whole year, and he didn't come back during the summer and winter vacations. Lu Zilin did not send him money and goods, and also prevented the woman from bringing things to his son, in an attempt to force Zhaopeng to return home in despair without food and clothing. However, when another New Year came, Zhaopeng was still hiding in the city. Lu Zilin's sullenness had nowhere to vent, and his temper became irritable, which seriously affected his mind to handle official business in the security center. This family hidden danger was consciously wrapped by the whole family members and not leaked to outsiders, lest Mr. Leng know the truth. Lu Zilin had taken a step back more than once and thought that if Zhao Peng married not Mr. Leng's firstborn daughter but someone else's woman, Zhao Peng really didn't want to take a break, but he couldn't do this to Mr. Leng's daughter anyway. Mr. Leng is the savior of the poor and the rich, and his noble medical ethics have won him great prestige. Marriage is good but becomes an enemy, and as a result, it must be Lu Zilin himself who suffers from everyone's ridicule and scolding. In the past year, Lu Zilin has suffered from a heavy heart disease, but he seems to be more and more amiable and tolerant on the outside, obviously very modest and very polite to talk to people, and sometimes he is free to joke and laugh with his peers, but he hides the crisis hidden in his heart. He went to Mr. Leng's Chinese medicine hall every now and then, and told some rumors or jokes that he had heard while performing official duties in various villages, which made his in-laws' cold faces laugh uncontrollably. He said a true story of a dirty woman in Mr. Leng Shenhe Village: "Dog baby mother, under the baby's, I can't find a plaster to scrape with a spoon." If you can't shave cleanly, wipe it with a hand towel. Where can you pick up the clothes? I can't find it. When you lift the lid of the pot and scoop the rice, scoop up a bunch of rotten trays. Do you say dirty or not? Dirty! But that family all looked like black porcelain towers. People say that if you don't eat it, you won't get sick......" Mr. Leng first listened and laughed, then he was damp and vomited, and he couldn't help laughing when he vomited. Lu Zilin also laughed with him, and said happily after laughing: "Brother family, what do you think your baby son-in-law is doing now?" Hey! While going to school, he worked as an officer for a newspaper, and the money he earned was not exhausted. I went into the city the day before yesterday to take a look at it, and I didn't want money for others, and I was pestered! It's just too busy to stand it. In this way, all kinds of possible speculations about Zhaopeng not returning to his hometown are all reasonably disguised. When his daughter occasionally came to the Chinese medicine hall, Mr. Leng admonished him with a cold face: "The boy is ambitious in all directions. You serve your in-laws well in the house, get up early and go to bed early. The daughter looked melancholy, but said nothing, greeted her father, accepted his father's instructions, and returned to the courtyard of the deer house.

Zhaopeng's daughter-in-law was unaware of Zhaopeng and her in-laws' hidden pain. She was tightly wrapped. She didn't know that Lu Zhaopeng's marriage to her was the result of Ah Gong's three slaps and fans, and the first slap was taken in the city, and she didn't know it before she passed the door; The second slap was taken by Ah Gong in Liu Mou'er's bullpen, Zhaopeng hid there on the wedding night to sleep with a quilt with Changgong Liu Mou'er, Lu Zilin gave a slap without saying a word, at that time she was in the shyness and panic of the wedding night, and she had no suspicion of Zhaopeng's face when she walked into the cave room later; Only the third slap she saw, Ah Gong smoked in front of the ancestral tablet, Zhao Peng bowed to his ancestors and refused to go to the ancestral hall to accept the ** ceremony presided over by the patriarch Bai Jiaxuan, Ah Gong unceremoniously opened his arm. That's because Zhao Peng said that the ceremony of worshipping the ancestral hall was purely "feudal etiquette", and there was not the slightest sign that he had any discord with her. After a year of marriage, she never saw him again, and she didn't think anything of it at first, but now she longed for him to come back to the room. The only thing he had done on his wedding night with her left no joy or pain, and as soon as he entered her body he trembled like malaria, startling her, thinking that he had epilepsy, and even found it amusing. Now she had gone from ignorance to knowledge, from hazy to clear thinking of his trembling, longing for herself to tremble with him. It was a dream. In the dream, she and he hugged the sheep and trembled like a mad wind, and after the wonderful trembling taste disappeared from the dream, it was difficult to fall asleep until the day dawned, first to the grandfather and then to the grandfather and grandmother to pour the urinal basin. She usually walked into the back room and saw her grandfather and grandmother sleeping on both ends with a quilt, and she turned around and left with a basin of urine from the yellow wax wax they excreted at night. This morning, when she went to carry the urinal as usual, she saw Grandpa and Grandma with their eyes closed, and suddenly thought of the trembling, Grandpa and Grandma probably just trembled last night. She began to suffer from insomnia, unable to sleep all night, and the trembling no longer felt funny and turned into an anxious longing.

She went to the wheat straw stack in the yard to pull firewood, and saw Xiao'e, a wild woman from Heiwa, carrying a bamboo cage to the market, the bamboo cage contained a bundle of green onions and a bundle of leeks, Xiao'e touched the ground briskly with a pair of delicate little feet, and twisted her arms with her thin waist and shook the round eggs. She used to feel disgusted when she saw it, but now she was jealous of that **, she probably trembled like a sheep in the broken kiln with Heiwa every night. When she returned to her clean and refreshing courtyard with a large cage full of wheat straw, she regretted the evil thoughts just now, what kind of daughter-in-law she was and what kind of rotten woman Xiao'e was, how could she be jealous of her! She believes that her husband is a person who does great things, and she believes that he is too busy to spare time to return to his hometown, and it will be more glorious to return to his hometown in the future. But before Zhaopeng returned for the New Year, it caused her disappointment and suspicion, no matter how busy she was, she wouldn't even go home for the New Year. She spends the New Year in extreme disappointment and frightening speculation, pretending to be smiling to receive relatives.

Lu Zilin saw that his daughter-in-law's smile was pretended, and when he returned to the house after a trip to Xi'an, he proudly announced to everyone: "Hey! Zhaopeng went to Shanghai!" The whole family immediately became happy. Lu Zilin deliberately asked his second son Zhaohai who came home loudly: "How to go on the road to Shanghai?" I heard that I have to take the train?" Zhaohai told his father in detail that he would first ride out of Tongguan on horseback, then cross the Yellow River by boat, and then ......

Her disappointment and suspicion were swept away, her mood suddenly brightened, and that night she dreamed of trembling like a sheep with Zhaopeng. After trembling, she was surprised to find that the face that had risen from her was not Zhao Peng, but Zhao Hai. The next day, when she saw Zhaohai taking the rice bowl from her hand, she couldn't help blushing and her heart beating. Then she dreamed that she was trembling with Heiwa, that is, when she was cleaning the courtyard to pour dirt outside the door, she saw Heiwa carrying a wooden model and bluestone rammer through the village alley in the twilight...... What's worse is that last night I dreamed that I was trembling with Ah Gong Lu Zilin, and Ah Gong was suddenly ashamed when he raised his face on her, and ran away in a hurry. All kinds of strange dreams made her heart weak and weak, and she didn't dare to raise her face to look into the eyes of any adult man, and those chaotic dreams appeared more and more frequently.

In the spring, the first new school in Bailu Town was completed, which was presided over by Yutian Fuxian, the head township of Bailu Cang. At the expense of the county government, Tian Fuxian apportioned migrant workers to dozens of villages under the jurisdiction of Bencang, saving expenses, making full use of the money originally planned to build only 10 school buildings, increasing the number to 13, and sending workers to build high walls with loess free of charge. Tian Fuxian published the large and small accounts of the funds and workers used in the construction of the school on yellow paper on the wall outside the door of the No. 1 Security Center in Bailu Town, which won the great trust of the local squires and ordinary villagers, and respected it as an important good deed. In order not to be harassed by the sound of the city and nearby villagers, the school site was chosen in the space between several villages in the south of Bailu Town.

When the barley and barley were ripe, and all the school buildings were completed, a headmaster led three or four gentlemen to move eagerly into the damp house and begin to begin the preparations for the admission of students and the opening of the school year. The principal is Lu Zhaopeng, the son of Lu Zilin. All the dignitaries and ordinary people expressed their most pious congratulations and compliments to Lu Zilin. "The Lu family has the next principal!" Lu Zilin was excited when he heard the conclusive news at first, and he happily drank with his in-laws, Mr. Leng. In addition to the great glory of the predictable and eye-catching new school principal, his heart disease has finally come to be lifted, since Zhaopeng is willing to return to Bailuyuan to be the principal, then there is no excuse not to go home, and the farthest school is only three miles away from home! However, as soon as Zhaopeng returned, his father's relief was shattered.

He came back the day before, and when he got home, he greeted his grandfather, parents, daughter-in-law and long-term worker Liu Mou'er, and he was very polite and affectionate. He wears a new-style uniform, has new-style hair on his head, high eyebrows, big eyes, deep eyes, and dark and long eyelashes, bringing out the characteristics of the Lu family's bloodline to the fullest. The family was so excited that they lost control, and watched Zhaopeng's actions a little nervously. He greeted his daughter-in-law politely like a family member and entered the wing. The daughter-in-law sat on the edge of the kang completely helpless, timidly looking at her husband, who was trembling in his dreams, but she couldn't speak or raise her head. Zhaopeng sat for a while and then went out to greet Liu Mou'er in the horse, and stayed there for a long time. The whole family nervously waited for dark. At sunset, Zhaopeng said the same thing to his grandfather, to his father and to his mother: "I have to go back to school and have a meeting in the evening." Grandpa and Mom and Dad also repeated the same sentence: "You come back from a meeting." "The result was that there was no return. For a month, Zhaopeng lived in a damp house and never came back for a night.

This family hidden danger can no longer be contained, and the village has turned from a quiet legend to a public discussion. Lu Zilin felt that he had no face to walk through the door of the Chinese medicine hall again. He went to the school to find his son no less than ten times, and forced the persuasion with the anger that wanted to tear up the principal's appearance, persuaded him to beg, and cried if he couldn't beg, repeating a sentence: "Even if you are pretentious, you should go back to live for two days and hide everyone's voices......" Facing the principal, Lu Zilin was no longer able to raise his hand and pull out the fourth slap.

On this day, the guys from the Chinese Medicine Hall called Lu Zilin, who was walking on a detour, to stop: "Uncle! Uncle told you to go and have something to say. Lu Zilin's scalp suddenly went numb. Mr. Leng still has the same cold face, but his voice is very plain, and he doesn't bend when he speaks: "Brother, you don't bother." You say a word to Zhaopeng and ask him to write a letter of resignation, it's a joke. That's nothing!" Lu Zilin couldn't hold back: "Brother, where are you talking coldly!" At this point, I won't hide it. Don't talk about the second time about the resignation, it's enough for a brother to suffer for a lifetime. Don't worry, he said that being the principal means becoming the county magistrate and governor, and if he wants to leave, the people in the house don't even have the door! If what I say today is not true, I will use his letter of resignation as a face cover. Mr. Leng remained silent: "Brother, no need. Others feel that they are too ashamed to live as adults if they are divorced, I don't think it's anything. What we've been like in the future. Lu Zilin's emotions were uncontrollable: "Don't say it, it's so cold, big brother, you said it." I have a way, it's not that I can't help it. You rush first. ”

After Lu Zilin went home, he walked into his father Lu Taiheng's separate house: "Dad, now this matter can't be contained, and it can't be delayed." I went to the school to look for Zhao Peng again, and if he didn't put on our faces, I would be ready to ......" He didn't say what he was going to do. Lu Taiheng could guess what he was going to do, it was likely to be a razor and a threat to his neck, there was probably no more powerful way than this. Lu Taiheng said: "The method you prepared will be put on hold until the next step, and I will call it back tonight to see if Principal Lu appreciates his face." Lu Zilin persuaded again and again, why can't he let the old father come forward. Lu Taiheng said: "If you should come forward, you have to come forward, our ancestor is out of the school-president!"

Lu Taiheng was on a crutch, and he usually only used this crutch that was polished to purple and black when he went far away. The old man walked into the courtyard of the school and shouted: "Principal Deer, hey, Principal Deer!" Zhao Peng walked to the courtyard when he heard the sound, and said with a smile: "Master, what are you shouting nonsense!" Why do you call the headmaster?" Lu Taiheng deliberately increased the volume and said, "Ha, my heavenly grandfather, you are the principal!" Ye is a flat-headed people's cropper! It's an official who has to be respected!" Lu Zhaopeng blushed and helped his grandfather to his house. Lu Taiheng continued: "Your Yamen Mansion, do I, a flat-headed person, dare to enter?" Several teachers stood on the steps and laughed. Zhao Peng blushed and dragged his grandfather into the house: "Master, if you have something to say, just say it!" Lu Taiheng said: "If you can think of it, your father has already told you, don't you fart!"...... Since I don't fart, I don't have to fart. I can't tell you...... I'll beg you—" As he spoke, Lu Taiheng slipped down from his straight-backed chair and fell to his knees on the brick floor with a thud. Zhaopeng was shocked and hurriedly dragged his grandfather: "Master, hurry up, if you have something to say, I don't dare to disobey my grandfather." Lu Taiheng said: "I beg you to go back with me, no more words." Zhaopeng said, "You get up, sit down and speak slowly." The old man Lu Taiheng knelt still: "If you want to go back with me, I'll get up." If you don't promise not to spit out the nucleus, I'll kneel in the middle of the courtyard. Lu Zhaopeng sighed sadly: "Master, you get up." I'll go back with you. ”

Lu Taiheng walked out of the school on crutches. Lu Zhaopeng followed. Entering Bailu Town, Lu Taiheng suddenly shouted: "Pedestrians avoid!" Quiet! Principal Lu, Lord Lu, Lu Zhaopeng arrived-" Lu Zhaopeng ran forward two steps at a loss and grabbed his grandfather's cane: "Master, how do you let me meet people tomorrow?" Lu Taiheng said: "You have become an official, grandpa will sound the gong for you!" Principal Deer is here! Principal Deer is here!" Lu Zhaopeng was confused, followed his grandfather through Bailu Town, and then walked into the village alleys of Bailu Village. Walking into his own gatehouse, Lu Taiheng still shouted loudly: "Our principal is back!" Zilin wow! I've sent your son back as an official, welcome!" Lu Zilin and the woman walked into the courtyard, and the new daughter-in-law also walked out of the wing. Zhao Peng stood in front of everyone embarrassed. Lu Taiheng stood in the middle of the courtyard, suddenly turned around and picked up his crutches, and beat Lu Zhaopeng to the ground in just one moment, unable to get up for a long time. Lu Taiheng said in his usual cold tone: "It's really up to you?"
