Chapter 5 Silly boy, that's someone's daughter-in-law

But when he looked up again, he was still shedding tears...... She could only sigh helplessly, help others to the end, send the Buddha to the west, anyway, he is also a fool, and he doesn't know how to be embarrassed, there is no one else here, no matter what he does, only God knows, or quickly dress him and let him go home!

So she squatted down in front of him, reached out and touched his legs, and was about to look up to speak, but found that the position she was squatting in was really awkwardly tight.

The fool shed tears, and he was honest, Lan Fang turned his face sideways, and after quickly lifting him, he hurriedly turned around and went to the river and washed his face.

Only then did I feel less burning on my face.

After a while, after feeling a little calmer, Lan Fang stood up and looked at the fool, he stopped crying, found his shoes and put them on, and stood on the edge of the reed.

Lan Fang unbuttoned the skirt around her waist, lifted her basket and walked over, looking at his handsome face when he didn't smile, she sighed in her heart, she looked so good, she was actually stupid, and she was pitiful, and she couldn't help but feel a little more pity in her heart.

She looked up at the sky, it was half a day, he had been playing here, and it was estimated that he hadn't eaten, so Lan Fang took out the uneaten bread in her basket and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "You should be hungry, eat." ”

When the fool saw the bread, he immediately smiled and came over, took the bread in his hand and ate it.

The gobbling up of food really looks like a carefree child.

"Don't play here, hurry home, your mother is probably in a hurry." The fool seems to be from out of town, and she doesn't often deal with people in the village, so she rarely goes out. The family doesn't farm, but they don't worry about eating and drinking, and looking at the clothes on the fool's body, they are better than the ordinary peasant family's clothes.

Some people in the village said that the fool was the outer room of the rich man in the county, because the rich family disliked the fool, so the mother and the girl moved to live in this village.

But what the truth is, no one knows.

When the fool heard Lan Fang say that he was going home to find his mother, he stopped gobbling up, his eyes were confused for a moment, and he muttered: "Mother......" Then he took the uneaten bread, turned around and walked in the direction of the village, as if he was going home.

Lan Fang was surprised at the same time, but also felt a little relieved, watching him go farther and farther, sighing slightly, and going to the mountain.

Patronizing the poor others, their lives are not easy, if you can't find the ginseng today, it is estimated that you will not even be able to enter the door......

Lan Fang searched in the mountains for most of the day, and only found a small moment of ginseng when it was almost dark, she wiped the sweat on her head and began to go home.

When she arrived at the door, she stood at the door for a long time and didn't push the door open, biting her lip all the time, hesitating, I don't know if her mother-in-law has lost her anger, in case she doesn't lose her anger, she is really a little afraid......

Chen Asan saw Lan Fang at the door from a distance, hesitating not to go in, and wondered what she was doing at the door, and when she approached her, he asked, "What are you doing standing at the door, why don't you go in?" ”

Lan Fang heard Chen Asan's voice, her heart was a little lighter, she smiled awkwardly at Chen Asan, and said, "It's okay, it's just that my feet are ......a little tired," she gently pushed the door open.

Liu Feng was cooking in the kitchen, when he heard the door ringing, he knew that his son was back, and hurriedly came out to see that the money-losing goods were actually following behind.

Liu Feng's expression immediately turned cold, and he looked at Lan Fang and said disdainfully: "Have you found a ginseng?" ”

When Lan Fang heard this, she immediately brought the basket over and gave Liu Feng the not very big ginseng inside.

Liu Feng took it, looked at the thin ginseng, and pouted coldly: "It's so small, it's really useless......" After saying that, he immediately piled up a smile on his face, looked at Chen Asan and said: "Son, tonight my mother will make you ginseng soup to replenish your body, you spend all day studying and brain, you have to make up for it!" ”

Chen Asan smiled when he heard this, looked at the scars on Liu Feng's face, and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with your face?" ”

Liu Feng smiled and said, "It's okay, I was scratched a few times by a slut, and it doesn't get in the way." ”

Chen Asan frowned when he heard this and asked, "Who scratched it?" What's going on? ”

Liu Feng didn't want his son to know about the fight between him and the Li family, so he prevaricated: "Oh, you don't care about the affairs between women, hurry back to the house and rest, I'll call you when the meal is ready, go!" ”

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chen Asan didn't force it, sighed and went back to the house, lit the candle, and began to read.

Lan Fang watched him enter the house, then put down the basket in his hand, and hurriedly went into the kitchen to help Liu Feng cook.

Although it was early summer, the kitchen was very hot, Lan Fang sat in front of the stove and lit the fire, and she didn't have a moment to sweat profusely.

There was no water in the water tank, so Liu Feng said: "Go, don't burn the fire, fill the water tank with water, and boil some hot water for Ah San at night to relieve fatigue." ”

Lan Fang put down the firewood in her hand, took the flat pole in the corner, went out to hook the bucket, and went to the well not far from the door.

At dusk, the peasants come back from the fields and start cooking, and there is a well in the east side of the village, and every time they carry water, they have to come from their homes to the east end of the village.

When Lan Fang came to the edge of the well, there were still many people carrying water, and they were all in a hurry to carry water and cook at home.

Lan Fang stood aside and waited, feeling that the eyes of the two women looking at her were really weird, and her heart jumped, the secret way would not be so miserable, the thing of helping the fool was seen?

Her heart was beating like a drum, and she felt as if there was a needle under her feet and couldn't stand, and she only thought in her heart that if she was seen, then she would only be dead......

The person carrying the water walked slowly a lot, and the two women over there saw that there were fewer people, so they slowly came over. One of the women gently poked Lan Fang's arm and asked a little embarrassedly: "Little Xu Niangzi, I heard that your mother-in-law forced you to drink sheep soup?" ”

Hearing this, Lan Fang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking that the incident in the afternoon had been seen, but she didn't expect them to be curious about this......

However, you can't say bad things about your mother-in-law in front of outsiders, the village is so big, if something is said by someone who has a heart and reaches the ears of your mother-in-law, it will not be good!

Lan Fang thought about it, then raised her head and smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "No, it's a home remedy, for me to treat my illness, not for my mother-in-law to force me to drink." ”

Seeing that she didn't believe it, the woman pursed her lips and said, "Little Lady Xu, your heart is too sincere, you believe what she says is for healing!" If she tells you to drink, you can drink it! That's clearly a trampling on you, and you're still protecting her, what a stupid girl! ”

Lan Fang could only giggle when she heard this, and just wanted to argue for her mother-in-law a few more words, but unexpectedly, her clothes were dragged behind her.

When she looked back, she was almost scared to death, what is this fool doing standing behind her?

The fool had been sitting under the old tree by the well, and when he saw her coming, he came over, but she kept her head down and did not see it.

At this moment, Lan Fang looked at the fool stretching out his black hand and tugging at the hem of the clothes behind him, his scalp was really numb, this fool was not a three-year-old child, he was an adult, even if he was stupid, but people's hearts were sinister, in case someone chewed his tongue and spread any rumors, it would be terrible!

So Lan Fang took a step forward with an embarrassed face, the hem of her clothes was freed from his hand, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and began to draw water with a bucket.

The fool didn't pay attention to Lan Fang, and he didn't have any special expression, but he still stood in the same place stupidly, looking at Lan Fang's back drawing water.

The woman who spoke just now looked at the fool staring at the people without moving, so she covered her mouth and smiled: "Oh, this stupid boy, you look good at people, and your eyes are straight!" It can't be that I miss a woman! ”

When Lan Fang heard this, she almost spilled the water she had just fetched all over the ground, and lifted the bucket with trembling hands, she knew that it was estimated that the fool remembered her, but she was also afraid that this fool would do something stupid in front of others, which would endanger her reputation, so she put the flat burden on her shoulders and began to go back in a hurry.

In order to avoid suspicion, she didn't look at the fool again.

The fool watched Lan Fang leave, and he involuntarily took a step, and he was about to follow others.

The aunt who talked a lot hurriedly pulled him and said with a smile: "Silly boy, that's someone's daughter-in-law, it's not good to follow, if you think about it, ask your mother to go back and buy you a daughter-in-law back."

The fool struggled for a while, and still wanted to follow, but the aunt knew that he was stupid and didn't dare to let him go, so she pushed him home, and said as she went: "Oh, you can't follow other people's daughters-in-law, her mother-in-law is a tigress, but she wants to eat you, hurry up, go home and find your mother to eat!" ”

The fool was pushed forward by the woman, and he didn't forget to look back in Lan Fang's direction......

The aunt couldn't help but sigh and muttered, "This fool will also think about it...... It's also amazing! ”

Lan Fang carried two buckets of water slowly, passing through many yards along the way, and some people who were out in the shade saw her bowing their heads and whispering to each other, which made her very embarrassed and uncomfortable.

I don't know who tore the wound on my mother-in-law's face, but looking at her angry appearance at noon, it is estimated that someone stimulated her by holding that she couldn't give birth to a child.

When I returned home, I poured two buckets of water into the water tank, and looked at it, the water tank was still not satisfied, and I had to boil water for Chen Asan to bathe at night, and I had to cook and eat tomorrow morning, this water was definitely not enough.

So she carried the bucket again to the well.

By this time, it was already late, and the dark curtain began to shroud, and most of the houses had already lit candles, and occasionally when they passed someone's house, the sound of a dog barking came out.

However, there are not many people on the road who take advantage of the cold, and without those embarrassing and sad eyes and criticism, she feels relieved.

After walking for a while, she came to the edge of the well, but what Lan Fang didn't expect was that the fool was still sitting on the edge of the well.
