Chapter 33: Quarrels

Although Cheng Xi was angry in his heart, it was impossible for him to run to Mrs. Xu to scratch it back, so he had to sigh helplessly and said, "I'll go and see if there is any wine in the house, and wash and disinfect it with wine." ”

Xu Saburo shook his head and responded, "No need, it's okay." The expression on his face was not as cold as it was just now.

Cheng Xi didn't listen to Xu Sanlang, and quickly walked into Cheng Dagui's house, and Xu Sanlang had to follow in.

"Dad, do you have any wine at home?"

Cheng Dagui pointed to the crockpot on the bedside table and asked suspiciously, "What do you want wine for?" The light in the room was a little dim, but Cheng Dagui didn't see the scratches on Xu Sanlang's neck who followed behind.

Cheng Xi responded, "Xu Sanlang was stabbed on the neck, and I took wine to disinfect him." ”

Cheng Dagui didn't think much about it, glanced at Xu Sanlang, and said in a cold tone, "A big man, what does it matter if you scratch a little bit, you are squeamish like a woman." ”

Xu Saburo had no choice but to respond, "I'm fine, I don't need to take wine." ”

Cheng Xi glared at Xu Sanlang, "What's okay, what should I do if I have tetanus, what should I do if the wound is infected and swollen on such a hot day?" ”

Cheng Dagui and Xu Sanlang were stunned when they heard it, they didn't understand what it meant at all, Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi have been together for a long time, and from time to time they will hear Cheng Xi say some words that they have never heard of, but they are not so curious, but Cheng Dagui asked curiously, "What is the wind, and there is an infection?" What is that? ”

Cheng Xi knew that she was about to say the wrong thing for a while, and if she really explained it to them, she was afraid that she would have to ask where she heard it from, how did she understand this, and it was estimated that it would be endless, so she had to say perfunctorily, "The weather is hot, and small wounds are easy to break, or on the neck, and if they are broken, they will be filled with pus." ”

Xu Saburo said, "A little injury, it's really fine." ”

Cheng Xi looked at this matter and struggled for a long time, so he said, "Dad, you rest, I will go down to help Aunt Wu with Xu Sanlang later." After speaking, he took the crockpot and pulled Xu Saburo out of the door together.

On the edge of the stone table in the courtyard, Cheng Xi washed the deep blood marks on Xu Sanlang's neck, and complained with a frown, "I worked hard to earn money to come back and give them flowers, but I can't please them, how can there be such a person, and he threatens others to sink into the pond and dip in the pig cage every day, I think this kind of person should be pulled to the sink pond and dip in the pig cage." ”

Xu Sanlang's expression at this time was not as cold as before, and he sat in a regular manner and let Cheng Xi toss around his neck, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

When Cheng Xi looked up at Xu Sanlang after washing the wound, he just saw the corners of Xu Sanlang's slightly upturned mouth, Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang who usually didn't have a smiling face in astonishment, and then pointed at Xu Sanlang speechlessly and said, "You are still smiling, you can actually laugh." ”

Xu Saburo hurriedly pursed his lips and shook his head in a panic, "No." "I don't even know I'm smiling.

Cheng Xi waved his hand speechlessly, "Okay, be careful not to get wet." Then he took the jar and went into the house.

Xu Sanlang looked at the back of Cheng Xi leaving, there was an unconcealable nostalgia in his eyes, how long had he not experienced such concern? He almost didn't remember that feeling himself.

This feeling made him want to hold on tightly and was reluctant to let go.

When Mrs. Cheng entered the door, she saw Xu Sanlang sitting in the courtyard, and she didn't recognize it for a while, so she asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”

In the past two months, I have been working in the restaurant, I don't have to go out to expose to the sun, Xu Sanlang has become a lot whiter, and because Cheng Xi can't see that Xu Sanlang is too sloppy, her hair and clothes are cleaned up and proper, Mrs. Cheng originally saw Xu Sanlang less, and Mrs. Cheng didn't recognize these slight changes.

The Zhang family, who came with Mrs. Cheng, was busy reminding on the side, "Mother, he is the hard-hitting broom star of the Xu family." ”

As soon as Mrs. Cheng heard that it was Xu Sanlang, the expression on her face changed instantly, and her eyes couldn't wait to stare Xu Sanlang out of a hole, and scolded loudly, "You broom star, why are you at my son's house again, hurry up." ”

Xu Sanlang listened to all kinds of abuse from the Xu family, and when he heard Mrs. Cheng's words, he only frowned lightly, and had no other expressions, but he still stood up and prepared to go out, so as not to conflict with the old lady.

It was only Xu Sanlang who stood up, and Wu's voice came from the door, "Mother-in-law, Xu Sanlang is the son-in-law of our family, why do you just shout at people to get out, let people know that they must not poke our backbones." ”

Wu held Cheng Qiang in his hand, and said as he entered the door with pigweed on his back.

Old Lady Cheng turned her gaze to the Wu clan and said with an angry face, "This kind of life is hard to broom the star, if you don't drive it out, do you want to wait for him to kill my son?" You are a loser, you dare to talk back to me, be careful that I drive you out with you. ”

The Zhang family also added oil and vinegar on the side, "Second brother and sister, how can you talk to your mother like this, let people hear it, and you don't know how to arrange your mother and second brother." ”

Cheng Xi was still putting wine in the house, and he also heard the movement outside, the old lady had a loud voice, and Cheng Dagui, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, of course also heard the sound outside, frowned slightly and was about to get up and go out with a cane, but was stopped by Cheng Xi in time, "Dad, don't go out in the house, I'll just go." ”

Cheng Dagui's face was helpless, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, "Your grandmother is ...... now, hey, you will suffer, Dad will go out with you." ”

Cheng Xi smiled and comforted, "Dad, don't worry, I'm not the one who suffers now, you stay in the house, I'll go out and send them away." ”

Cheng Dagui remembered that Cheng Xi had dealt with her eldest aunt last time, but he really wouldn't suffer, but that was really inappropriate, so he hesitated and said, "Xi'er, after all, it's an elder, you...... You can't go too far, you'll be poked in the back. ”

Cheng Xi was very helpless when he heard this, turned his head to look at Cheng Dagui, and said with a serious face, "Dad, I know your scruples, they are elders, but elders always have to look like elders, I treat them as elders, how do they treat me?" Also, the backbone of our family has already been poked and broken, if someone wants to poke it, let him go, and we won't lose a piece of meat. You just rest in the house and don't go out, don't worry, I'm measured. ”

After listening to Cheng Xi's words, Cheng Dagui sighed with a heartache on his face, and responded, "Be careful yourself." ”

Cheng Xi nodded and walked out quickly.

In the courtyard, Mrs. Cheng is scolding the Wu family, of course, the Wu family is not a bun to be rubbed, she is similar to what Cheng Xi thinks, her backbone, as early as when she died and became a widow, and then married into the Cheng family, she was poked by others, she didn't care about this, she was content if she could live freely, of course, she wouldn't let her rub the round and flatten because she was afraid that Mrs. Cheng was her mother-in-law, Mrs. Cheng scolded her, although she wouldn't scold back, but she would refute sarcastically and thorny.

And this Zhang is a particularly annoying-stirring stick, interjecting a few words from time to time, and every time it is just right to add fuel to the fire, so that Mrs. Cheng, who is about to extinguish the fire, ignites the war again.

There was a lot of noise in the yard, but Xu Sanlang was left aside, I don't know whether to leave or stay, let's go, Aunt Wu is because she quarreled with her mother-in-law, she really shouldn't leave like this, don't go, I'm afraid that after Mrs. Cheng notices him, she will be even more energetic.

When Xu Sanlang was hesitating, Cheng Xi came out of the house with two hoes, there was a lot of noise over there, and he hadn't noticed Cheng Xi who came out of the house, but because he was afraid that Cheng Qiang, who had been hiding behind Wu, saw it, and looked at Cheng Xi pitifully.

Cheng Xi walked to Xu Sanlang's side, handed the hoe in his hand to Xu Sanlang, and then beckoned to Cheng Qiang, Cheng Qiang moved his steps cautiously, and arrived at Cheng Xi Xu Sanlang's side, and then hugged Cheng Xi's thigh in fear.

Cheng Xi reached out and touched Cheng Qiang's head, and coaxed softly, "Xiaoqiang obediently stands beside my brother-in-law." ”

Cheng Qiang nodded obediently, and without waiting for Xu Sanlang to speak, Cheng Xi walked to Wu's side with a hoe, raised his voice, and interrupted Mrs. Cheng's scolding, "Grandma, I heard that we are back, and you came back to see us?" ”

Mrs. Cheng looked at Cheng Xi and scolded with disgust, "Phew, who is a cheap girl who eats inside and out, who will come to see you." ”

Zhang on the side was about to speak, but when he saw the hoe shaking in Cheng Xi's hand, and the cold eyes of Cheng Xi looking at him, he instantly extinguished the fire, closed his mouth and stood behind Mrs. Cheng, and tried to get closer to the door.

Cheng Xi saw Zhang's movements, sneered, and then took Mrs. Cheng's words, "That milk is here to see my father?" My dad just took medicine to rest, or I went to wake him up, and I don't know if he was woken up. ”

Old Mrs. Cheng really lowered her voice, glared at Cheng Xi, and scolded, "Something without conscience, your father loves you so much, and he doesn't know how to be filial to your father, he only knows that he took money to be filial to others, and he is really a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised." ”

Cheng Xi raised his eyebrows, he knew why the old lady Cheng came to make trouble today, I was afraid that he knew that Xu Sanlang went to send money to the Xu family, and then he was picked up by his own uncle and aunt who was afraid of the heavens, and the old lady was uncomfortable and came to vent her anger, but thinking that the old lady was out of distress for her son, Cheng Xi was too lazy to worry about her, thinking about sending her away quickly, so he answered, "What are you talking about, why am I not filial to my father?" ”

Sure enough, after listening to Cheng Xi's words, Mrs. Cheng opened her mouth and reprimanded, "Earn some money and take it to the old pious woman of the Xu family, the Cheng family really raised you white-eyed wolf for nothing." ”

Cheng Xi mysteriously approached Mrs. Cheng's side, and Mrs. Cheng took a step back vigilantly, "What are you doing?" ”

Cheng Xi was speechless and said, "Milk, I have something to tell you alone." ”

Looking at Cheng Xi's mysterious appearance, Mrs. Cheng was a little curious, and let Cheng Xi come to her ear and muttered a lot, while everyone else looked at the two of them.

I saw that the old lady's expression was changing uncertainly, and her eyes were aimed at the people present from time to time, and when Cheng Xi finished muttering to the old lady, the old lady Cheng completely extinguished her anger, and her attitude changed when facing Cheng Xi.

Zhang was very curious and said, "Mother, what is the girl Xi talking about so mysteriously?" ”

Except for Cheng Xi, everyone else who was present never expected that the old lady would scold Zhang, "The troublemaker who will spread rumors all day long, and the work at home is done?" I know what I'm doing here, so I'm going back to work. ”

Although Zhang's heart was dissatisfied, how could he dare to tell his mother-in-law more, and hurriedly left, his own man would not be waiting to see him in the first place, if his mother-in-law did not treat him again, he was afraid that his life in the Cheng family would not be able to go on.

Cheng Xi watched Zhang's embarrassed departure, very satisfied, and said with a smile on his face, "Milk, it's not too early, Xu Sanlang and I are going to work in the field." ”

Mrs. Cheng nodded, saw the hoe in Cheng Xi's hand, and said with a complicated expression, "Go down to the ground to break the corn cob, what are you doing with the hoe, hurry up and change the back basket, I'll go back first." Then he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
