Chapter 37: The Visitation

What makes her most pleased now is that the eldest family can still treat the third child well.

To put it mildly, if the third child is not good, she will always die, and when the time comes, she can be taken care of by the old family, so that she can die with peace of mind.

"Little stool, you still read with your brother in the afternoon, you forgot?"

Seeing his mother's serious face, the little stool stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

"Mother, my brother can play if he wants, and it's the same tomorrow to learn, besides, I haven't learned it myself, I want to practice more in the afternoon." As soon as she heard Xiaodouzi say this, Duanmuzhi's daughter-in-law Xiujuan changed her expression.

"Okay, well, my mother listens to you." The little stool gave his brother a grateful look.

Xiaodouzi smiled and continued to eat, as for what was going on in his heart, he didn't know.

And Duanmuxiu, who didn't know anything about all this, was busy eating.

Recently, the food at home has been a lot lighter, and the lack of silver is one thing, mainly to keep Duanmuxiu from leaving scars on his face and eating as clean as possible.

I finally fried a bowl of meat today, and Duanmu Xiu likes to eat it very much.

Duanmuxiu's mother was very emotional when she watched her son eat.

Since I went to study in the prefecture, I can say that I have not been at home for more than ten days a year.

Sometimes she even feels that her son is alienated from her.

Now looking at his son who has returned to him, he really doesn't know whether he is happy or sad.

"Here, eat more." I gave Duanmu Xiu a pair of chopsticks and put the meat in a bowl.

Duanmuxiu paused, looked up and said with a smile: "Thank you, mother." ”

The family also had a meal with laughter, took a nap, and took Duanmuxiu out to play on the small stool.

"Azhi, you see that the third brother is like this, what will you do in the future?"

"Xiujuan, don't think about it, my brother is so smart, he will definitely get better."

"However, now the family's expenses are getting bigger and bigger, I have to drink medicine every day, and I can't work yet, and I see that our little beans are about to pay next year's bundles......"

Duanmu Zhile hugged his daughter-in-law: "It's okay, my mother has her own arrangements." ”

Looking at the man in front of him who didn't have a trace of thought, Xiujuan squeezed her little handkerchief tightly.

"Azhi, Xiaodouzi will go to school again in a few days, I want to take the children to play at my mother's house for two days tomorrow, okay?"

Duanmu Zhi laughed: "What's wrong with this, I'll go tell my mother in a while." ”

Xiujuan nodded, thinking secretly in her heart.

Duanmuxiu came back crying, even if he was stupid, he was still afraid of those small animals, such as earthworms.

Looking at Duanmuxiu, who was a little cowering, Duanmuxiu's mother was about to laugh angrily.

This kid has been afraid of these earthworms and leeches in the field since he was a child, but he didn't expect to be stupid now, and he is still afraid in his bones.

"Uncle is so cowardly, ashamed!"

As soon as Xiujuan came out, she happened to hear her son making fun of her brother-in-law, so she quickly stopped it.

"Mother, I want to tell you, tomorrow Xiujuan will take the two children to her mother's house to play for two days, is it okay?"

"Yes, in this way, tomorrow you will take your daughter-in-law and two children over in an ox cart."

"Thank you, mother, I just wanted to take them out to play for two days before going to the school on the small stool." Xiujuan was a little embarrassed to explain.

Although I have been married for seven or eight years, I am still a little afraid of my mother-in-law.

Although her mother-in-law didn't criticize her at all, she was just a little worried in her heart.

Duanmuxiu's mother pretended to be more than one, she knew that her eldest daughter-in-law still had Xiao Jiujiu, but her mind was not bad, so she simply turned a blind eye.

"This is it, right?" The two pondered at the door.

The door suddenly opened, and Duanmuxiu's mother looked at the two young people in front of her with a questioning expression.

"Auntie, is this Duanmuxiu's home?"

"yes, you are?"

"You are?"

"I'm his mother, who are you?"

"Oh, hello, excuse me, we're Duanmuxiu's classmates Zhang Lan and Li Feng."

"Oh, please come in."

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Duanmu Xiu playing with the nine rings in his hand.

This......

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, for a while, I don't know what to say.

"Eh, it's rude, Ah Xiu is ...... now It's no different from a child. ”

The two also realized their gaffe and hurriedly walked in.

Duanmu Xiu, who was engrossed in playing the Nine Rings, didn't even raise his head.

"Duanmuxiu, do you remember us?"

Moved a chair to sit next to him, and the two tried to ask.

glanced up, ignored them, and continued to play with his own.

Duanmuxiu's mother poured tea and looked at her son in front of her and smiled without speaking.

For a while, Zhang Lan and Li Feng didn't know what to do.

Although they knew that he was stupid, they didn't expect it to be so serious now, and it was no wonder that the senior sister was empathetic now.

It can be seen that this friend of theirs no longer remembers his fiancΓ©e.

The two who originally wanted to mention it decided to keep their mouths shut.

In the end, I didn't leave any food, and left after a few words of comfort.

Duanmuxiu's mother was sorting out their gifts, and found that everyone had two taels of silver wrapped in them.

He sighed and smiled with some relief.

It's not a wealthy family, but it's time for the eldest grandson to go to school this year.

The family has to go to grab medicine every seven days, and the family's expenses are really good, and these four taels of silver can be regarded as charcoal in the snow.

"Brother Zhang, did you see it? Brother Duanmu doesn't remember us at all? ”

"Hey, yes, Brother Duanmu is like a child now. What do you say we can say about my senior sister? ”

"Forget it, let's not talk about everything first, now that I'm going to say it, I'm afraid the most troublesome person is my aunt, why should we go to block people?"

The two chatted while walking, very emotional.

Who would have thought that the most potential talent would now become a stupid child.

The only thing that is gratifying is probably the monthly subsidy given by the imperial court, so that he will not run out of food.

Although this subsidy is small, it is still possible to fill the stomach.

Presumably, depending on whether Duanmu Xiu is still a showman, he can help his family reduce the tax burden of fifty acres of land, and his family will not treat him harshly.

After packing up the gifts, I went out and saw that my son was still playing with the Nine Rings in a posture, so I wanted to reach out and touch the back of his head.

Who knew that Duanmu Xiu had eyes on the back of his head, and he dodged it all of a sudden.

I don't know why, Duanmu Xiu never let people touch his head.

"Play for a while and move, be careful not to spoil your eyes." After instructing, Duanmuxiu's mother was busy making clothes.

It's autumn recently, and she has to make a batch of cotton clothes from her family.

Although the family is not having a good time, fortunately, my daughter and son-in-law sent a lot of cotton and materials, and the winter clothes are enough.

"Mother, I'm back." Duanmu Zhi drove back with an ox cart.
