Chapter 10: The Meaning of Parents
"Uncle Chen......"
The leather monkey put away the hanging boy on weekdays, and stopped talking.
Father Chen waved his hand, unwilling to say more: "Let's go." ”
"I took the chicken, and I will pay it back."
Looking at Chen's father, who was now evicting the customer, the leather monkey gritted his teeth, swept Chen Yuanyuan, and left the other party with a look of self-begging.
As soon as the leather monkey left, Father Chen took a calm step and suddenly took the rattan whip on the side.
This time, Chen Yuanyuan's eyes were so shocked that her eyes were round!
"Daddy...... We have something to say. ”
"Say what?"
"The gentleman doesn't move his hands, Dad, you put down the whip first......"
Tong on the side was also shocked, and said continuously: "Zhengping......"
"Mother, don't worry about this, this girl is going to turn against the sky recently, if you don't teach a lesson, you can't do it!"
After that, he waved his whip and walked towards Chen Yuanyuan.
Seeing that Chen's father was unrelenting and whipped at him, Chen Yuanyuan's little face turned blue and white with shock, and hurriedly hid behind Tong's: "Grandma, Dad is going to beat me!" ”
"Mother, get out of the way!"
After Chen's father finished speaking, the stinky girl hid behind the child's mother again.
Father Chen originally just wanted to scare and scare her, where was he really willing to fight, he didn't want her to admit her mistakes and dare to hide, so he rushed up with a whip.
The calf was strong and sturdy, and Chen Yuanyuan, who was in pain, bared her teeth.
"Chen Zhengping!"
"Against the sky, you dare to call your father by his name!"
After that, Father Chen was already aggressive and was about to fight over.
Chen Yuanyuan was frightened, and it happened that there was a ladder beside her, and she climbed up to the eaves in an instant, and her movements were numb and she couldn't bear to look at it directly.
She scolded a thief in her heart!
Whose heroine is like her... It's like a shame and a joke, it's really "not guaranteed for the late season"!
"Stinky girl, you come down for me!"
"No, no!"
"Do you want Lao Tzu to go up and drop you!"
"Dad, I'm really wronged this time, I don't believe you ask Yunsheng."
"Can I still wronged you? I don't ask Yun Sheng, he will suffer later! ”
After hearing this, Chen Yunsheng behind him was full of excitement, and his small face was expecting Ai Ai.
"Dad, I really didn't steal the chicken!"
"Whether you stole it or not, were you there at the time?"
“……”
Seeing that his daughter had nothing to say, Chen's father was even more angry: "Didn't you stay away from the monkey?" Did this stinky boy teach you badly? ”
“…… Dad, can't I be wrong? ”
***
At sunset, in the small corner of the Chen family's courtyard, there was a large and a small.
Father Chen was reluctant to beat people in the end, sat aside, looked at the clothes that had not been dried in the wooden basin, and suddenly shook the shirt with a big hole in the basin, and looked at Chen Yuanyuan, who was thinking about it on the wall, for a while!
"This is the clothes you washed?"
"Dad, if the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come, I'll buy you a new one."
“…… Where are your mother's clothes? ”
"Washed away by ...... water"
“……”
Chen's mother tugged at the corner of Chen's father's clothes and waved her hand at him: "That's it, I'll sew it for you." ”
"Mother, I'll help you."
As he spoke, Chen Qingqing had already taken the sewing kit.
Chen's mother smiled with relief, and touched Chen Qingqing's cheek again: "Qingqing is good." ”
Seeing this, Chen's father had to go to make a fire and cook.
Tong knew that his son was not good at cooking, so he went to help.
There was more than one torn shirt, Chen's mother and Chen Qingqing found a rag head, and the mother and mother mended it for a long time before sewing it up.
Chen Yuanyuan saw it in her eyes, and her heart was mixed.
A piece of cloth is about four feet, can make a pair of clothes, the cheapest cloth is only a few dozen yuan, but a ready-to-wear is hundreds of yuan, so most people are reluctant to buy ready-to-wear clothes, almost all of them are ripped cloth to make their own clothes.
If the craftsmanship is good, the sewn clothes are naturally difficult to buy.
The Chen family was reluctant to buy clothes, and it was rare to tear some coarse cloth only during the Chinese New Year.
A garment has long been washed and turned white, and it has been sewn and mended for another three years. On weekdays, she was frugal and frugal, and she was willing to buy ginseng slices for her, but today she didn't eat a bite of chicken, and she lost 200 yuan in vain......
Chen Yuanyuan pursed her lips and said nothing, but her fingertips pinched into her palms.
Near dinner, Chen's father asked one big and one small to come over for dinner, although he had a cold face throughout the whole process, but fortunately he didn't say anything more.
After the meal, the couple didn't know what to say, and when they fell asleep at night, Chen's mother came to her bedside.
"Mother, what do you want to say?"
Chen's mother wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said: "You are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, what are you doing with others?" There are many good men in this world, and my father and mother will find you a good family, and you have to live a stable life. ”
"Who am I following? …… Follow the Monkey ??? ”
Chen Yuanyuan looked dazed, and Chen's mother said something out of her words...... Is it suspected that she has a leg with the monkey?
The corners of Chen Yuanyuan's mouth twitched, she and the leather monkey had only met three times, and at most they were only nodding friends.
"Mother, don't think about it, the leather monkey is innocent with me."
"Don't move your mind!"
Tong Shi also said on the side: "Big girl, you have to listen to your mother, this woman marries the wrong man, and it will harm her life." ”
No wonder the Chen family thinks too much, women and men rarely get along in ancient times, if a girl's family follows a man, I am afraid that there will be a lot of gossip, and then parents will always think deeply.
Tong and Chen's mother chatted for a while before they were relieved.
Chen's mother left, and Chen Qingqing stuck to her.
"Sister, does your leg still hurt?"
The little girl's bright eyes were full of worry, and she said, "But do you want me to go to my father's room to get medicine?" ”
Chen Yuanyuan shook her head again and again, and said with a smile: "It's okay, but it's just a whip, my sister doesn't hurt." ”
The little girl pursed her lips and shook her head again, her little palm reached over, and her fingertips gently touched the injury on her forehead.
The weak and boneless little hands were warm, and the cautious seemed to be afraid of hurting her.
"Sister, Qingqing must work hard to save money, buy the best plaster to remove this scar, and my sister will find a wishful husband in the future." When she spoke, the little girl had a resolute face.
The little girl who is generally only eleven years old, this appearance of a small ghost, immediately provoked Chen Yuanyuan to sneer.
"My sister is not looking for Ruyi Langjun, my sister is looking for a good sister."
As he spoke, he was already holding the little girl into the quilt, and Tong shook his head with a smile.
Next door house.
Chen's father and Chen's mother have not slept for a long time, today's matter, they believe in their daughter, Yuanyuan has been sensible and self-reliant since she was a child, and she will not do that thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs.
What worries them is that Aunt Zhang's words ......
"I have asked the big girl just now, and said that the two of them are innocent."
Father Chen was still not at ease, thinking of the stinky boy of the leather monkey, he was inexplicably angry, and he clenched his fists and said: "No, you have to hurry up to find her family, in case the two have contacts again, it will be difficult to exchange hearts." Besides, Master Liu is not good at stubble, and finding a good man to marry will cut off the thoughts of the two. ”
"Okay, I'll go talk to the matchmaker tomorrow."
