CHAPTER VIII. 3
On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lu San returned to his small courtyard, lit the monkey paint wax he bought, and plugged it into the four corners of the courtyard at the mouth of the waterway at the front door and back door and window sill, and the courtyard of the house was bright. The woman brought out the fried dumplings, and the family of four sat on the kang and chewed on it. Lu San seemed to be in a good mood, and chewed on the words to his son Heiwa: "The son is fifteen years old and takes his father's will." Heiwa, you are seventeen years old this year......" Heiwa interrupted her father's words: "I'm going out to work this year." I've been looking forward to it! I've already told my mom about it. Lu San raised his head and glared at his son: "Speak too fast!" Remember, no matter where you go, no matter who you talk to, you have to say one sentence at a time, and you are not allowed to steal words, there are no rules!"
Heiwa has long since dropped out of school. He is not a good student under Mr. Xu, but he also recognizes a lot of words, and he can pull a few abacus beads. After dropping out of school, he continued to mow the grass for the Bai family, and carried a large basket of grass back to Ma in the morning and after the morning. A year ago, he proposed to his father that he didn't want to lift the scythe anymore, and that he wanted to go out to work for other people's long hours to earn money. Lu Sanyi wanted him to learn farming skills again, and secondly, he also felt sorry for his son and wanted him to grow stronger. Now that he is seventeen years old, he can be a personal envoy, and he himself went out at the age of fifteen to work as a full set of long-term workers for Caidong. Lu San said: "Heiwa, Dad said that you listen, you go to Uncle Jiaxuan's house to work; Dad came back to our house, did our family's work when he was busy, and went out to do odd jobs in his spare time; Even if he can't find odd jobs, Dad still has the ability to make adobe......"
"Dad, you're tired of beating adobe, you can't do it anymore." Heiwa said, "You will do your work in the Bai family, and I will go out to work." ”
Lu San said, "Where are you going to go far away?"
Heiwa said: "To the north of the Wei River." Uncle Jiadao is working over there. Uncle Jiadao said that there are big wealth in the east village over there, unlike our original small wealth in the east. Uncle Jiadao is happy to find me a master's home. ”
"Look at you...... I don't know the rules, so if you don't tell me in advance, you make up your own mind. Guilty!" Lu San reprimanded, "Weibei is not familiar with the place. We work hard for people, no matter the height of the gatehouse, no matter the size of the wealthy, the important thing is to find a benevolent and righteous master. ”
Heiwa said: "Uncle Jiadao is familiar with people over there, and he can find me a good master to live in." ”
Lu San was impatient: "Jiadao Jiadao, you listen to Jiadao!" Let me tell you, it's not easy to find a benevolent master like your Uncle Jiaxuan! I see for believe. Your grandfather has worked in the Bai family all his life, and he hasn't even lost his teeth and shook his mouth. You will go to the Bai family, and I will manage you before I am in the next life. ”
Heiwa lowered her eyelids: "I don't want to...... Go to the Bai family. ”
"What's up? What do you mean by that?" Lu San also widened his eyes, "The Bai family didn't treat me badly, and I didn't treat you badly!" You cut the grass and give you wheat!"
Heiwa said: "I'm not talking about treating anyone badly......
Lu San chased after him and asked, "Then why don't you go to the Bai family?"
Heiwa was silent: "......"
Lu San patiently confessed again: "The older generations of the Bai family are all benevolent and righteous, and the long-term workers of others are not hired casually. ”
Heiwa said: "I didn't say that Uncle Jiaxuan is not good or unkind. I still remember that Uncle Jiaxuan paid me to study. I still remember that you don't want me to read it, Uncle Jiaxuan took my hand and sent it to the school......"
"Yes, yes, that's right!" Lu San said, "Since you remember Uncle Jiaxuan's righteous deeds, why don't you go?"
Heiwa snorted: "I don't like ......"
Lu San chased after him and asked, "Why don't you think you can't do it?"
Heiwa said, "I don't like it...... Uncle Jiaxuan's waist ...... It's too hard and too straight......"
Lu San smiled easily when he heard this: "Ha, my baby!" I can't get out of the way! Let's work hard to earn our food, as long as people don't deduct us, we don't look at us! What are we doing with people bending over and straightening up?"
Heiwa pleaded: "Dad, if you do a good job there, you will work for another two years, and do odd jobs; I go out and work for a long time. Let's save some money to buy some land ......," he cried.
The mother helped Heiwa speak: "He's big, you can rely on the baby!" The baby was displeased, so she went. What the baby said is still reasonable. ”
Lu San said: "It's okay too! You have been out for two years, and you will know in your heart after seeing a few wealthy owners, if you don't go to the mountains, you won't show the flat ground! You won't be suspicious of that at that point...... Straight waist hard!"
Heiwa followed Uncle Jiadao down to Bailuyuan, stepped into the vast and magnificent Guanzhong Plain, and crossed the turbid Wei River by wooden boat......
In less than a year, Heiwa led a rare beautiful woman back to Bailu Village, and Lu San was stunned. Lu San was suspicious when he saw his daughter-in-law from the first time, and called Heiwa aside to interrogate him strictly: "Where did you come from?" At a glance, you can see that she is not a poor woman, how can she go with you? Three media and six certificates? Say! Tell me my innocence!" Heiwa said calmly: The owner of the house was a bad old man who was nearly seventy years old, with two women, one older and one young. The old man died, and the eldest woman and the son who was in charge of the family affairs regarded the little woman as a thorn in their side, and asked the foreman Li to marry her to him as a matchmaker.
Lu San was skeptical, and consulted Bai Jiaxuan about this matter, and at the same time proposed the etiquette of entering the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors. The new daughter-in-law of Bailu Village entered the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors and ancestors, which is a very grand ceremony. Bai Jiaxuan was noncommittal about this marriage, but said: "You run a step, go and ask Jiadao to clarify the matter." The matter of worshipping the ancestral hall will be discussed when you ask Jiadao. Lu San sighed that he was a fan of things, and ignored the fact that Jiadao led Heiwa out. Early the next morning, Lu San went down to Weibei to find Jiadao. When Lu San returned to Bailu Village, his face was already gray and his eyes were bloodshot, and as soon as he entered the door, he slapped Heiwa, and he also fell to the ground unconscious. After Lu San was rescued, he said categorically: "Hurry up and get rid of this **!" If you can't let go of her, you won't be my son, and you'll get out of here! Eternal life and eternity come through my door!" Heiwa's plea is useless, and Heiwa's mother also mourns her husband, but they can't make Lu San change his mind. Heiwa led her daughter-in-law out of the door overnight and walked into a broken cave in the east of the village. He then bought it for five silver dollars and settled down at home.
