Chapter 287: The Butcher's Daughter (5)
When Father An came back from outside, he saw a beggar standing outside the gate of his house, and when he remembered his wife and daughter, he hurriedly stepped forward to drive him away, saying, "Go!" Don't stand in front of my house! ”
As if he hadn't heard, the beggar ignored him, and Father An became a little angry, pushed him out, and said, "Our family is very poor, you can go elsewhere to beg for food!" ”
Who knew that the beggar was already skinny, and there was no flesh on his body, and he was pushed by An's father, who had a big waist and a round waist, and fell to the ground, and even the sea bowl came out of his hand and rolled out, but fortunately it was muddy and not broken.
The beggar suddenly lost his stupid appearance, and quickly grabbed the sea bowl back, holding it in his arms like a baby.
Father An felt a little guilty when he saw this, he didn't expect this beggar to be so "weak and can't help it", and he fell down with a light push.
He did not drive him away again, but opened the gate of the courtyard and went in and closed it quickly, hoping that the beggar would leave by himself later.
After entering the house, Father An saw his wife and daughter busy in the kitchen, and said, "There is a beggar at the door of our house, don't go out if you have nothing to do in the past two days, and if I am not at home, I must close the courtyard door." ”
"Hasn't he left yet? It's really dead-eyed. An Nan said as he chose the dishes.
When Father An heard this, he hurriedly walked over and pulled his daughter and asked, "Good daughter, did you see him?" He didn't do anything to you, did he? ”
An Nan said with a smile: "No, he came back with me in the town, I gave him a bowl of leftovers at noon, and he followed me back." ”
"What? He actually came back with you? No, I have to go out and get him out, I can't get him here, who knows what he's going to do!" When Father An heard An Nan's words, he was immediately uneasy, and wanted to go out and drive the beggar away.
An Nan remembered the beggar's stupid appearance, and said to An's father: "Dad, in fact, you don't have to worry too much, that person has a brain problem and can't hurt anyone." ”
"It doesn't matter if it hurts or not, it's always unsafe to have strangers!" Father An really went out and chased the beggar away.
An Nan didn't stop him, after all, she had already given him a full meal at noon, and her benevolence and righteousness had been exhausted, and what happened to the beggar in the future had nothing to do with her.
I thought that the beggar would leave after being driven away by An's father, but I never expected that he seemed to recognize An's family, was driven away and came back, was driven away and came back, and so on several times, he still appeared near An's house, no matter how he drove away, An's father had been tempered by him.
After so many days, the beggar still stood outside the door of An's courtyard with the dirty sea bowl, An's father had dealt with him for so long, and knew that he did have a problem with his brain, he was stupid and dumb, and he was not aggressive, and seeing that he was so tall but as thin as a bamboo pole, he felt pity and often gave him the leftovers from the house.
"Dad, I think he is stupid, but he doesn't hurt anyone, why don't we take him in as a long-term worker, or help you when you kill the pig...... Now that you're older, your body isn't as good as when you were younger, and it saves a little effort for multiple people to help. And I think he is a grateful person, and his daughter gave him a bowl of leftovers and he came back with him, in the end, he knows who is kind to him. Mother Ann said to Father An.
Father An thought about it, and felt that he was indeed not as comfortable killing pigs as he was when he was young, and thought that although the beggar was thin, he had a large skeleton, and if he raised the meat on his body, his strength should be not small, and he could help himself do some hard work...... He should also pay attention to his body, so as not to leave too early and leave his good daughter without support...... Thinking about it like this, Father An agreed, and said, "It's okay, just find a helper, and our family will not lack a bite to eat and wear." ”
An's mother thought more far-reaching, and said: "I don't know if his brain can be cured well, if it can be cured, we will recognize him as a son, and let him support his daughter in the future; If it can't be cured, he can stay at home and work anyway. ”
So the beggar was taken in by An's father and mother, and he was named Anfeng.
An Nan was very surprised when he knew this, he didn't expect that An's father and mother would be willing to take in this beggar, and after listening to their reasons, he felt that it made sense, so he didn't object.
An Feng is stupid, he doesn't understand anything, Father An teaches him the same common sense of life as he teaches a child, fortunately he is not stupid to the end, he will teach it a few more times, although the reaction is a little slow; He can understand what others say a few times, but he can't teach him to speak, so everyone defaults to him being a dumb person.
After An's father, he really took An Feng with him every time he went to kill a pig, and let him do it, and gradually, in Peach Blossom Village, he knew that An Butcher's family had taken in a beggar as a long-term worker.
An Nan found an excuse to persuade An's mother to drink the medicine she prescribed to regulate her body, An's mother trusted her daughter wholeheartedly, and she drank all the medicine her daughter gave her.
Five months later, An's mother suddenly retched badly while eating fish, An Nan held her wrist and checked her pulse for a while, then smiled happily, and said to the worried An's father: "Dad, this is a good thing, my mother is pregnant, and I am going to have a little brother." ”
"What?!" Father An's eyes widened in shock, as if he didn't understand An Nan's words.
An Nan smiled and said, "I mean, Dad, you're going to have a little son or little daughter!" ”
"W-It's true?!" An's father was overjoyed, his face was flushed with excitement, and he walked up to An's mother like a fool, cautiously trying to reach out and touch her, but he didn't dare.
An's mother was also shocked when she heard An Nan's words, and instantly cried with joy, but she quickly suppressed the joy in her heart, for fear that it would be in vain, she said in a trembling voice: "This, this may be her daughter's nonsense, what does she know as a child?" Dad, go and ask the doctor to come back and show me......"
"Yes, yes! Go get a doctor! Father An muttered, and immediately turned around and ran out like a gust of wind, the speed and agility that his burly and majestic body could not possess at all.
An Nan smiled and said to An's mother: "Mother, when the doctor comes, you will know that I am not talking nonsense." ”
Mother An's eyes flashed with tears, she wanted to believe but couldn't believe it, and said, "It would be nice if it was true......"
It didn't take long for the old doctor in the village to be brought back by An's father, the old doctor squinted his eyes to give An's mother a pulse, and after a while, he smiled and said to An's father: "Congratulations, your family is happy, but the fetus is only more than a month, and the pregnant woman is not young, you should pay more attention." ”
Hearing the doctor's confirmation, An's father and mother were almost stupid with joy, and hurriedly grabbed the doctor and asked him what to pay attention to.
After sending the doctor away, the two of them woke up from the surprise, but they were so happy that their mouths couldn't close, An's father seemed to be several years younger, and An's mother smiled, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were stretched.
Seeing them so happy, An Nan felt that his work in the past few months had not been in vain, they were so good to themselves, so it was also appropriate to repay them with surprises.
