Chapter 14: It's Man-Made
It's almost time to be a child, and the second uncle is still pulling Yang Laosan to drink tea and talk in the courtyard, and the situation is not pleasant.
Carambola put on her clothes and was about to go out, but Yang Cui sat up from the bed with a bang: "Why are you going?" ”
"I'm going to persuade the second uncle, it's not too early, I have to go to the ground tomorrow."
"Grandpa and grandma don't care, Grandma and the cat don't squeak in the house, what can you persuade a junior?" Yang Cui stretched out her hand and pulled her clothes and pushed her back to the bed: "Things are not as simple as you think, the big house is still holding back." We can't control this matter, you can be busy with your own peace of mind, don't get involved. ”
"Grandma is fighting with the second uncle, and if she can't give up her son now, she will admit defeat."
Carambola blew out the lamp, turned over and hugged Sister A's arm and said, "Speaking of which, the second aunt is really a character." The old man is still alive, which daughter-in-law dares to mention splitting the family? We haven't seen it when we're so old, but our second aunt dare. ”
"What can I do, the second uncle really dares to force the old lady to death?" Yang Cui flattened her mouth, and disagreed with the star fruit's appreciation of the second uncle: "What is the separation?" It's the tree that is falling and scattering! If grandpa and grandma really agree to divide the family, how can they go to see their ancestors and ancestors after they die? ”
"The ancestors and ancestors have already seen through the red dust and ranked in the immortal class, and there are those who have not seen through the red dust, and they have also been reincarnated and disappeared into the crowd."
Yang Cui wanted to tear the carambola's mouth: "Even the old ancestor dared to turn it out and joke, and there was no rule anymore." ”
Star fruit quickly dodged, took the eldest sister's hand and pinned it behind her, and blinked her eyes slyly: "I bet on the second aunt to win, but I will always be disliked, and I have long been aggrieved by the girl." ”
"Who doesn't feel aggrieved? If this family can be divided, I don't want any of the family property! ”
Early the next morning, Erya came to call star fruit, and even Yang Cui sighed at the intimacy.
When he arrived at Qiao's house, he deliberately performed in front of Aunt Wang and the intimacy and friendliness of star fruit, and Qiao Xiu was covered with goosebumps.
Aunt Wang didn't ask much about Erya's reflection, and after arranging the chores, she slipped the star fruit into the study: "Today I mainly understand acupuncture points and acupuncture." If you look carefully, you can't go wrong at all. ”
The star fruit was buried in the head for a day, and did not go home for dinner at noon as usual. Qiao Xiu brought her the food, but she didn't even take a bite.
When it was almost dark, Aunt Wang came in to chase her: "How can you become a fat man in one bite?" Go back, it's getting dark. ”
"Auntie, I'll watch it a little longer. There are 409 acupuncture points around the human body, 830 acupuncture points, 60 single acupoints, and 770 multiple acupoints. However, if you don't master the basics as soon as possible, acupuncture will be difficult. Auntie, I only have a month. ”
"You actually went to fully understand the acupuncture points, and you also went to find single and multiple acupoints?"
Aunt Wang has seen countless math apprentices in her life, but she has never seen star fruit so meticulous and so serious. Ordinary people learn acupuncture, and they can find any acupuncture points for any symptoms, and just follow the script.
This star fruit, as soon as you enter the door, you want to study all the acupuncture points thoroughly?
What's so bad about being meticulous and improving? If all practitioners have this attitude, many terminal illnesses may not be terminal diseases.
Thinking of Jiu Liming, who jumped out of the slag, Aunt Wang was moved: "If you want to read any book, take it back to read, don't stay up too late and ruin your body." Don't be afraid that I won't teach you again in a month, as long as I still have something to teach, my aunt will never hide it. ”
"Can you take it back and see it?" Star fruit was so happy that she didn't know how to express it, so she only promised: "Auntie, don't worry, I will only read and never copy." ”
"As long as you study by heart, it doesn't matter if you copy it."
The family esoteric science is passed on to others, and then let the outsiders take the esoteric science away to keep the bottom, which is ......
Carambola's gratitude to Aunt Wang has a long history than the surging river!
Da En didn't say thank you, and star fruit didn't repeatedly say anything grateful. She bowed deeply to Aunt Wang, and went home with a hand-drawn acupuncture point map and an acupuncture secretary.
When passing by the door of the second room, the star fruit deliberately glanced inside, but did not see the figure of the second uncle.
She entered the door and asked her mother: "The second aunt hasn't come back yet?" Is it really going to be the whole thing this time? ”
Ye was folding his clothes, the two sleeves were pulled to the middle and folded again and again, and the long shirt with teeth and claws was regularized into small squares with edges and corners.
Hearing the carambola ask, Ye's hand movements did not stop, and he hummed with a sullen nose: "Hmm! ”
Carambola didn't think her mother had a cold attitude, put the book to help her mother fold her clothes, and asked with a shy face: "Mother, if you said that we want to really split up, are you and Daddy willing?" ”
Ye put the folded clothes into the box, and then sat down on the small pestle, took the embroidered blue and then embroidered the picture of the lady.
"Would you like to give me a word, what do you mean by being so stuffy?" Carambola snatched A-Niang's embroidery, leaned short and leaned in front of her: "You tell me quietly, don't worry, I will never say anything outside." ”
Ye Shi stretched out his hand to push her head away and sighed, "Who wants to be disliked by the number of people to live? But the old custom is like this, can you make a result if you make trouble again? ”
The star fruit smiled, and her eyebrows and eyes were crooked: "It's up to people!" ”
She took the human body acupuncture point map to the hall, and was so frightened that Ye reached out and grabbed her: "What do you want to do?" It's a complicated matter, and you are not allowed to mix it up. ”
One side wants to seek death, one side wants to reconcile, and if a junior wants to really insert a star fruit into it, it must be dead that there is no scum left.
"I'll go and help Grandpa take a look at his legs!" She raised the acupuncture point map in her hand and pointed to several acupuncture points to show Ye Shi: "These acupuncture points are all in charge of Lao Han's legs, I will smoke Chen Ai Tiao for Grandpa first, maybe it can have some effect." ”
"Then look at the legs, look at the legs, and don't talk nonsense. In the past few days, your eldest aunt has always gone to the hall, and you can listen to what she says, and you are not allowed to interject. ”
"Got it, you still can't trust me?"
When the star fruit passed, the eldest aunt was really there. She persuaded while helping Grandma Na's soles: "Mother, don't be angry with the second daughter-in-law, she has no sense of proportion, you don't know how to be polite, you beat her and scold her, and make yourself angry, but we are the sin of our descendants." ”
Seeing the star fruit come in, the eldest aunt beckoned to her and said with a smile: "The hero is back?" Come and persuade your grandma, she, make your second uncle angry. ”
Carambola smiled shyly and didn't answer: "You talk, I'll go to the back room to see Grandpa." Today, I learned acupuncture points and wanted to help grandpa press his legs. ”
Without waiting for the eldest aunt to reply, the star fruit flashed into the back room.
Grandpa's old cold legs are very serious, his knees are bent and deformed, and it hurts to walk normally, and he can't even move an inch when he changes.
At this time, Grandpa was sitting at the head of the bed and smoking, and when he saw the star fruit, he waved his hand: "No matter how much medicine you take, what's the use of pressing twice?" Your filial piety Grandpa understands, don't waste your efforts, go back and rest after a tired day. ”
"What's the effort to press twice?" Carambola put the book away properly, squatted at Grandpa's feet and went to hold him to the storehouse: "You should do your granddaughter a favor, let me use your experienced hands." ”
The old man didn't talk, but he didn't resist the carambola's action.
Therefore, the star fruit carefully pinched the acupuncture points and carefully pressed them according to the newly learned technique.
There will always be some soreness and pain when the acupuncture points are pressed, and the old man is so uncomfortable that he frowns. can see the serious and solemn appearance of the star fruit, and he can't open his mouth to blame.
In order to divert attention, the old man asked star fruit: "I've heard about your second aunt's return to her parents' house." ”
The carambola did not move in a disorderly manner, nodded and replied, "I heard about it!" ”
"So what do you think? Should this family be divided? ”
Coincidentally, the grandmother of the outhouse also asked the aunt like this.
Carambola didn't reply closely, and pricked up her ears to listen to how the eldest aunt answered.
I only heard the eldest aunt smile heartily and said, "Mother, are you setting me a trap?" I don't have a second mind for our family! At the beginning, my eldest sister-in-law was able to provide for my third brother to study until he was twenty-five, and now he can also provide for Chunxiao to study until he is thirty years old.
Money, isn't it just a picture of money? The second brother and sister just can't figure it out, and always wants to save a few sons so that the children can be called daughters-in-law. But with your mother, you can still watch your grandchildren beat singles?
Besides, although there is a layer of belly, the children of the third room are also our descendants, right? We give up everything for them to read and learn skills, and if they don't succeed, forget it, if they really learn, can we be less good? ”
How profound and righteous these words are, and they are glamorous and beautiful! Can you smash the tip of your tongue, why is it so untasteful?
She decided that Chunxiao would not be able to get a famous exam until she was thirty; I recognized that men are not separated from each other, and it is difficult for them to talk about their daughters-in-law; So doubtful that she can learn some real skills from star fruit?
As soon as the star fruit was distracted, the strength in his hand was heavy, and the pain made Grandpa gasp for air.
"What do you think? There is no weight in the hand! ”
Carambola hurriedly apologized, collected her mind and pressed it again. This time, she didn't dare to get distracted at all, and carefully pressed it several times according to the method in the book, until she was so tired that she was sweating profusely before stopping.
"Go back and rest, don't worry about things at home. It's all a family, who pulls and who shouldn't? This man can't just fall into the eyes of money. If you really want to do anything for money, it's no different from the beasts foraging in the mountains. ”
Grandpa deliberately raised his voice, obviously banging on the eldest aunt in the outhouse.
The star fruit didn't dare to answer, and retreated obediently.
Since that day, she has been going to press her grandfather's legs and moxibustion every night, and occasionally try to prick two injections to invigorate blood.
I don't know if it's star fruit luck in the right place, or if moxibustion massage is really effective. Anyway, after pressing it for seven days in a row, Grandpa's leg pain has been reduced a little. For this, star fruit has become a big celebrity in front of the second elder.
The eldest aunt also drills into the grandmother's house all day long, and it is still the same old way: on the surface, she understands the righteousness, but she does
"We're in favor of separation, both inside and out.
The second elder dragged on for more than ten days without giving in, and the eldest aunt was also a little anxious, knocking on the side and said: "The second brother and sister have followed the second brother for half their lives, just for the sake of her giving birth to three eldest grandsons for the old Yang family, we can't really sweep her out."
Mother, the old Yang family can't have a bad conscience, no matter what, we should go to our in-laws' house to persuade our younger brothers and sisters to come back. ”
Star fruit had a face in front of the second elder, and she also had the courage to echo: "The second aunt has never gone home, and the person entrusted the second uncle with a letter of envelope and departure." , I don't look like she's having a temper, she really doesn't plan to live this life anymore. ”
Grandma's face changed greatly, and she turned pale in an instant, but she still said to herself: "But that's it, can't you live without her Yang Er?" ”
Carambola felt that the time was ripe, and turned her black eyes and said tentatively: "Grandma, I have a way to get the second aunt back." ”
