7. Mother and Son

"Third uncle, I've returned your horse!" When he came to the door of Wu Laosan's house, Zhiyuan shouted loudly.

"Hey, my little ancestor, you're back!" A young man hurried out of the room with a bowl in his hand, went straight down the stone stairs, and looked at the horse in front of and behind him.

"Don't worry, your horse, I'm well fed, and I'm not tired from injury!" Zhiyuan pulled Zheng Yong and jumped off the horse.

"If you say no, you won't!" Wu Laosan didn't look at Zheng Yong and the others, his eyes fell on the horse, and he observed carefully.

"Yo! Third uncle, eat! Zhiyuan took the lead, pulled Zheng Yong, stepped on the stone stairs, and walked into the hall.

In the center of the hall, there was a middle-aged couple, about fifty years old, who saw Zhiyuan and the others coming in, first stunned, and then smiled.

They are Wu Laosan's parents.

"Yo! It's coming! Wu Laosan's father said with a smile, "This is the child from yesterday, go get the dishes and chopsticks by yourself and eat together!" ”

"Thank you, grandparents!"

Zhiyuan was not polite at all, ran into the kitchen, took two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, served the rice, sat down at the table, and started eating.

"Yo! Look at these two children, eat slowly, drink some soup, don't choke! ”

Wu Laosan's mother smiled dumbly, looking at Zhiyuan, full of doting.

"Yikes! Xiaokai, what's wrong with your face? She exclaimed, only to find that Zhiyuan had a blood-red slap mark on his face.

"Grandma, I'm fine!" Zhiyuan shrugged indifferently and continued to eat.

"I heard that your dad came home, did he beat you again?" Wu Laosan's mother was distressed, "What do you say he is doing, he can't get nervous?" It's rare to go home and beat people, Xiao Kai is so well-behaved, why does Ah Long always beat him! ”

"He's good?" When Wu Laosan's father heard this, he rolled his eyes vigorously on the side, and muttered, "This stinky boy, wherever he goes, he has a book and a knife, and he cut down our cowboy yesterday, and he came to borrow a horse last night, and if he doesn't agree with him, he will blow up my cowpen, is this called good?" ”

"Mutter something, shut up!" Wu Laosan's mother glared at him, turned her head and looked at Zhiyuan, "Our family is Xiaokai, the first place in the exam every year, the homework is good, the people in your village, like him, are all playing with mud, only he is studying so hard, sister-in-law can say, after Xiaokai, you have to rely on the university, that is a matter of glory and ancestry, we have not had a college student in Longtan Village!" ”

"Just him?" Wu Laosan's father sneered, pointed at Zhiyuan and said, "The temper is so weird, it's not gregarious at all, who can you get along with in the future?" Also college! ”

"What's wrong with the Temper Monster?" Wu Laosan's mother was furious, "That's my family's Xiaokai has the ability, how can it be like your son, twenty-five or sixteen years old, no interest at all, and his daughter-in-law can't find it, so he knows his horse!" ”

"You, didn't you give birth to the third child? I used to be spoiled like that, but now I don't have any interest, and I am to blame? Wu Laosan's father was so angry that he was smoking, arguing.

"Shut up!" Wu Laosan's mother was furious.

Zhiyuan and Zheng Yong ate silently, but they couldn't stop laughing.

"Two little bunnies, what are you laughing at!" Wu Laosan's father was dumbfounded.

"Don't yell at my grandson!" Wu Laosan's mother scolded, turned her head, looked at Zhiyuan, looked kind, and said with a smile, "Xiaokai, let's discuss, how about it?" ”

"Grandma, please!" Zhiyuan nodded and said, put down the dishes and chopsticks, he was already full.

"That's right!" Wu Laosan's mother thought for a while and said, "Look, you cut grandma's cowboy yesterday, and grandma doesn't blame you......"

"Grandma is so nice!" Zhiyuan said.

"You kid, I'm not done yet!"

Wu Laosan's mother touched Zhiyuan's head, "Look at you, you have been well-behaved since you were a child, and your homework is good, but your third uncle, you are too unproductive, you are almost thirty years old, and the object has not yet been settled, in this way, I heard that your father knows a lot of girls in Ancheng, you talk to your father, let him introduce one to your third uncle, as a nephew, you can't watch your third uncle be single for a lifetime!" ”

Wu Laosan's father sat aside, his eyes wide, and he was stunned for a while.

It turns out that the left sentence just now praised him for being good, and the right sentence was good, and the purpose was to say this!

Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.

"Xiao Kai, okay, you give me a word!" Wu Laosan's mother said, "Even if it doesn't work, grandma has always loved you, hasn't she?" Just tell your father, just say what I said, does he dare not listen? ”

"Grandma, it's not that I don't want to help the third uncle!" Zhiyuan said, "I haven't spoken to the old man for a few years, and as soon as I open my mouth today, I will have a big fight, you can tell him directly!" Besides, I think that marriage is not child's play, and those girls may not be suitable for the third uncle! ”

"Xiao Kai, do you mean that your third uncle is not worthy of them?" Wu Laosan's mother glared at Zhiyuan.

"Grandma, that's not what I meant!" Zhiyuan looked bitter, "Those people and girls...... Well, they all follow the old man to run the rivers and lakes, and their minds are not on this! ”

Zhiyuan didn't say a word, a few nights ago, he saw Wu Laosan and a certain daughter-in-law in the rolling ridge, he may not look down on others!

"Xiao Kai is right!" Wu Laosan's father took over, "Look at your son, holding a bowl, he has been playing with his horse until now, if those girls follow him, he won't be able to hold back!" ”

Wu Laosan's father continued: "Besides, most of those girls, most of them are not our Buyi family, this is not good!" ”

"Pedantic!" Wu Laosan's mother said, "Now many villages are intermarried, as long as the third child can find a daughter-in-law, that girl is well-behaved and obedient, kind-hearted, whether she is a Miao or a Han, it is good to be able to run a family!" ”

"The rules of the ancestors are not allowed to intermarry with foreigners, but you have forgotten it completely!" Wu Laosan's father said seriously.

"It's your ancestors, not my ancestors! You have to see that your son is single for a lifetime before you are happy? Propriety? What rules, are you old and dizzy? You go out and see, which ethnic group has not intermarried now? Wu Laosan's mother said coldly, "I am in charge of this family, and I can't help others to make irresponsible comments!" ”

"You...... Ok, good, good! You have a point! "Twist your head to the side and sulk alone.

Zhiyuan sat on the side, rarely spoke, looked at Wu Laosan's mother, and couldn't help but secretly admire, not to mention anything else, just to say that this bearing and vision are not comparable to other women in Longtan Village.

Here, it is too closed and backward, not only for economic income, but also for ideology.

This old man, she didn't know that the girls under the old man's hands were dusty women, but she didn't care about their identity, she didn't care what nationality they were, and the most important thing was that person, as she said, it was good to be able to run a family in a good way and be kind-hearted.

"Grandma, actually, you can tell the old man this, he has been listening to you, I don't deal with the old man very much, as soon as I open my mouth, it is useless for me to say." Zhiyuan opened his mouth and told the truth.

"This ......" Wu Laosan's mother was embarrassed, "Your father rarely comes home once, don't trouble him!" ”

"Grandma, it's okay, the old man has a good face!"

Zhiyuan said, he didn't know, grandma can't let go, she and her father are similar in many ways, their personalities are very similar, "As soon as you open your mouth, he won't refuse, but whether it succeeds or not, it depends on fate, besides, you have to ask the third uncle about this!" ”

"What?"

At this moment, an exclamation came, Wu Laosan was furious and walked into the house, "Mom, do you want to partner with this little bastard and sell me together!" ”

"What words!" Wu Laosan's mother was furious, "While eating, look at you, there is no way to stand, there is no way to sit, eat a meal, run around, what is it!" You don't learn to learn Xiaokai, people are still your nephews, but you are knowledgeable, well-behaved and filial! ”

"Just this little bastard?" Wu Laosan was dissatisfied, "He borrowed my horse, and he didn't change the horse's hooves for me, pity my horse!" ”

"Who do you say bastard, say it again!" Zhiyuan slapped the case and pointed at Wu Laosan, "Say it again!" ”

"That's it! Stop arguing! ”

Grandma Wu Laosan glared at her son, and then at Zhiyuan, "Xiao Kai, why don't your uncles and nephews agree at all?" In the past of our generation, how do you get along! ”

"Grandma, I don't like Wu Laosan's yelling at you!" Zhiyuan looked at Wu Laosan coldly and said.

"Giggles! You kid! This temper! Wu Laosan's mother laughed, "No matter what, he is your third uncle, you see, your eldest aunt and second aunt are married, grandma's family, there is only one seedling left of him, if you don't get along, grandma will not be at ease after a hundred years!" ”

At this time, the corners of Wu Laosan's father's mouth curled, he no longer sulked, and turned his head, he knew that this mother-in-law must have something to say.

Sure enough, Wu Laosan's mother didn't wait for Zhiyuan to speak, so she continued: "Look, your third uncle is like this, Xiaokai, you are well-behaved and filial, grandma feels sorry for you!" You have to promise grandma, you will be out in the future, but you can't ignore your third uncle, no matter who he becomes in the future, he will be your third uncle! ”

"Grandma rest assured!" Zhiyuan Zheng Yong nodded.

"That's good!" Wu Laosan's mother nodded with satisfaction and stood up, "Okay, I'll also go to your father to talk about things, see if he can give your third uncle a daughter-in-law, and ask him by the way, why did he beat you!" ”

"Mom, I don't want it!" Wu Laosan suddenly ran to his mother and blocked her way.

"Bastard boy, get out of the way, I'm thinking about your life's work!"

"Mom, I'm afraid...... Brother Aaron, he ......" Wu Laosan said tremblingly, "he ...... He's not very good-tempered, I, I'm ......"

"What are you!" Wu Laosan's mother hated that iron could not become steel, "It's decided like this, will Ah Long still bully you?" ”

"Who bullied him!" At this moment, a majestic voice came.

It was a man, tall and mighty, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, who came to the door.

Seeing this, Wu Laosan shrank his neck and couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

The person who came, it was Wu Banglong!

"Aaron, here!" Wu Laosan's mother said with a smile.

"Third aunt, third uncle!" Wu Banglong nodded, his expression was solemn, he glanced at Zhiyuan, and finally, his eyes fell on Zheng Yong, raised his hand and said, "Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyong, you come here!" ”

"Huh?" Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, his father had always called him Xiaokai, but now, it was the first time to call him Xiaoyuan.

His demeanor is rarely like this, and he looks at Xiao Yong with something wrong in his eyes.

Is it to drive Xiao Yong away?

No, this old man is a bastard, but he's definitely not such a person!

Is something wrong?

Zhiyuan and Zheng Yong glanced at each other and came to their father's side together.

"Xiao Yong, I want to tell you something, you have to be mentally prepared!"
