Chapter 112: There are all kinds of injustices
The incident happened suddenly, Xiao Zhi protected Xi Hongdou behind him, and then looked in the direction where the child fell, and saw a middle-aged man with a mustache coming down from the second floor, pulling the child's ears and scolding: "Let you turn over the guest, you can also mess up, see if I don't kill you!" As he spoke, he took the rattan and slapped the kid several times, and after he finished scolding the person, he hurriedly said to Xiao Zhi and the guests at their table: "I'm really sorry, the child is not sensible, don't mind, I'll let people change the table, and the refreshments will be brought up again!" ”
A farce was interrupted like this, and many people in the back scolded and scolded, and asked Xi Hongdou and them to sit down quickly, but Xi Hongdou looked at the beaten child, and his face turned black.
Although the two children had oil paint on their faces that day, she still recognized the little boy in front of her as the child who went to the barbecue restaurant that day to steal food.
Xiao Zhi looked at the boss of the troupe, and he was in no mood at all, so he said, "Let's go, it's okay not to watch such a play." "That kid fell from such a high place, and he had to be beaten, this class master is also inhumane, and he feels like he is eating people when he listens to any play!
Xi Hongdou nodded, and then said to the remaining three: "Let's leave first!" ”
When the remaining three people looked at it, they were also bored, so Su Yuanjia said, "That's also gone, don't look at it." After leaving the pear orchard, they went home.
Xi Hongdou sat on the carriage mountain, his mood was not good, he was not omnipotent, and some things really couldn't be managed, but this complicated mood was really uncomfortable.
"Some people always say that I am a village girl from the village, but now that I look at it, I am a village girl, and I rob more than some people, at least I haven't suffered those crimes!" Xi Hongdou is not an optimist, but when she thinks that there must be someone in this world who is more unfortunate than her, she feels how lucky she is, born in Xijia Village, she is the daughter of the old Xi family, her father, mother, brother and sister-in-law are in pain, what happened to the village girl?
Xiao Zhi said: "This is also the case with the troupe in Kyoto City, the music is considered a cheap membership, and if they want to live, they have to suffer a lot." "How many children have suffered from childhood that others can't stand it, and they will be able to sing in the future, so that if they make money, they may be able to choose a better life in the future.
Xi Hongdou sighed, in the end, a world where everyone is equal is simply a luxury. In the past, I always pondered the inequality between men and women, and women were oppressed, but now I look at it, the oppression of the rich and the unpaid, the oppression of the powerful and the powerless, this is the norm. At this time, Xi Hongdou was so disappointed in the world after crossing for the first time, she was homesick.
When she got home, Mrs. Xiao pouted as soon as she saw Xi Hongdou enter the door, and she didn't seem to be very happy, so she asked Xiao Zhi: "What's wrong with her?" Did you mess with her? ”
"No, when she watched the play, she felt uncomfortable when she saw the children in the troupe being abused and beaten." Xiao Zhi said.
Mrs. Xiao suddenly knew that Xi Hongdou had a good heart, but she would have to meet a lot of such things in the future, so she couldn't be too entangled, and then said to Xiao Zhi: "She feels uncomfortable, I see that your expression doesn't seem to be uncomfortable, and when your mother is uncomfortable, I don't see you have anything to say!" ”
"Mother is uncomfortable, huh?" Xiao Zhi looked at Mrs. Xiao and asked, "What can make my mother uncomfortable?" ”
Mrs. Xiao said: "It's really uncomfortable to say, your father actually has private money!" ”
"Huh? How dare Dad? Only one hundred taels of silver a month, after handing it over to the mother, my father will have two taels left, and there will be nothing left after drinking tea, which can still save private money? After Xiao Zhi finished speaking, he said, "I have to learn from my father!" ”
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly pulled the person back and said, "You kid, like your father, will be angry with me!" "But the husband really didn't have to say anything about handing over the silver.
Xiao Zhi smiled and asked, "What's going on then?" ”
Mrs. Xiao said at this time: "Your father goes out early and returns late these days, and no one is home!" ”
"Isn't there a party?" After Xiao Zhi finished speaking, he also felt unlikely, his father didn't like those officialdom drinking bureaus very much, and there was nothing to do in private that he had to go out early and return late, usually at three o'clock and one line, home, palace, yamen, and other places really don't go much.
Mrs. Xiao said: "Definitely not, the most important thing is that in the past two days, I have smelled the aroma of your father, your mother and my nose are better than the dog Turin, she is definitely drinking flower wine!" After some analysis, Mrs. Xiao concluded that Master Xiao secretly kept private money, otherwise how could he have the money to find flowers and ask willows?!
Xiao Zhi hurriedly shook his head, his head shook like a rattle, and said: "That's impossible, even if my father has that thief's heart, he doesn't have the courage to be a thief!" "Even if his father wants to do something, he will subconsciously think about what his mother will do, and his father must dare to do it with the determination to die!
Mrs. Xiao squinted her eyes and pondered for a moment, just because her husband was not like that, she didn't make a direct fuss, but what is the situation going on now? She is also worried about going out early and returning late, and the fragrance on her body is also imaginative!
Xiao Zhi saw that Mrs. Xiao was so uneasy, so he said, "If it doesn't work, I'll go with my father, or if it's something important, I'll go with him." ”
Mrs. Xiao nodded: "That's fine, but don't go alone, take the red beans with you, in case your father finds out, it's good to cover up!" "This matter must not let Master Xiao feel that she suspects anything, and she is also afraid that Master Xiao will be angry with such a distrustful relationship.
"I know, I'll do it tomorrow." Xiao Zhi said, I am tired of running around today.
Mrs. Xiao saw that it was tomorrow, so how could she sleep today, so she said: "Don't be tomorrow, just today, after eating in a while, you will go to his yamen and wait!" ”
Xiao Zhi was speechless, but he couldn't help but listen to his mother's words, so he went to Xi Hongdou to eat first, and then the two of them left the house together.
"Shall we do this? If we get involved in the affairs of the elders, will it backfire? "Xi Hongdou thinks that this kind of distrust in marriage is really serious, and looking at Master Xiao's appearance, it doesn't look like he can steal fish.
Xiao Zhi said: "My mother is just thinking that if we don't come, she will be nervous." "It's just to go back and have an explanation.
The two of them didn't go to the yamen, but walked around the street, now it's just dark, and the street before the curfew is still very lively, the two of them just wandered around, and when they saw a stall selling jewelry, Xiao Zhi found a hairpin for Xi Hongdou and tried it one by one.
Xi Hongdou didn't like these decorations originally, but it was interesting for the two of them to walk around like this, and these little things became cute in their eyes.
Xiao Zhi was taking a hairpin to Xi Hongdou to try, Xi Hongdou was stunned, his eyes skimmed behind Xiao Zhi, and he really saw Master Xiao.
Master Xiao's yamen is in the opposite direction from them, Xi Hongdou felt that something was really wrong, so he turned his head directly, Xiao Zhi saw this reaction, and was just about to turn his head to look behind him, but Xi Hongdou pulled the person around and said, "I saw the master just now!" ”
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he wanted to turn back, but he saw Master Xiao enter a restaurant.
The door of the restaurant is not big, and it is a newly opened store, Xiao Zhi looked at it and said, "Let's go too!" ”
"Huh? That's it? Xi Hongdou felt that it would be embarrassing to bump into it at this time.
"My dad never eats in a restaurant, he said that the restaurant floor can't be cleaned!" Xiao Zhi said that it was indeed unusual for such a person to be able to cross the door of his house and come to this restaurant.
Xi Hongdou followed Xiao Zhi into the restaurant, and then saw that Master Xiao was going up to the second floor, and Xiao Zhi and they also went upstairs. When he arrived on the second floor, Xiao Zhi did not shy away from hiding, and said directly: "Dad, what a coincidence, I thought I had made a mistake when I saw my father, but it turned out to be true!" ”
When Master Xiao heard Xiao Zhi's voice, he glanced back and found that Xi Hongdou was also there, so he hurriedly beckoned the two of them over.
"Are you still wandering the streets so late?" Master Xiao asked.
Xiao Zhi was speechless: "Dad, don't you also ask yourself, my mother said that you always go out early and return late in the past two days, I still don't believe it, if I don't happen to meet, I don't believe that my dad can stand to brush unclean dishes and go out of the restaurant!" ”
Xi Hongdou stabbed Xiao Zhi, don't sell Mrs. Xiao Zhi this Xiao Zhi!
But Master Xiao didn't mind, so he smiled and said, "Your mother asked you to come?" ”
"It's really not, I'm playing with red beans, or I'll go to your yamen to squat you early." After Xiao Zhi finished speaking, Xi Hongdou was relieved.
Mr. Xiao said: "The crab roe tofu made in this shop is very authentic, I haven't been back to my hometown for many years, and every time I come, I order a plate, thinking that I will go back and see it after the clothes." Yamen has a lot of things to do these days, and I am tired to death, but after eating this meal, I feel much better! "He's still physically tough, and it's estimated that even if he wears a brocade, it will be ten or twenty years later.
The proprietress came upstairs at this time and said with a smile: "This master also brought his family here today, then I must send a pick!" ”
When the proprietress spoke, Xi Hongdou sneezed, but the proprietress had too much incense powder on her body.
Xiao Zhi finally understood, and his father's thief heart was all put on eating......
Xiao Zhi also Xi Hongdou Although he went out after eating, the two of them had been running around for a while, and it was okay to eat some more.
On the other hand, Mrs. Xiao waited at home until the flowers were grateful, and she didn't come back, in the past, only her husband went out early and returned late, and now her son and daughter-in-law are also like this......
When the curfew was approaching, the three of them went home, and Mrs. Xiao saw that the three of them came back, and she didn't know what to say, so Xi Hongdou said: "Madame, let's have some supper, I specially brought it back for Madame!" ”
"Huh? …… Good, good! "Mrs. Xiao can't ask anything in front of Master Xiao, so she can only go to the front hall first.
Mr. Xiao went back to the room first, and Mrs. Xiao asked, "What are you guys doing?" ”
