Chapter 36: A Change of Attitude
Wu Shi responded, "That Xu Erlang is not a good person, he fools around with some indiscreet people all day long, he has just suffered a loss in our hands, he will not give up, let the two of you go back, how can we rest assured." ”
When Wu said this, Cheng Xi also remembered the scene he met when he and Xu Sanlang went up the mountain to chop wood, so he had to sigh and respond, "Okay." ”
On the way, Cheng Xi couldn't help but complain, "What is going on, I just came back in the morning, and the people who came to find fault came one after another, and this is to provoke anyone." ”
Wu patted Cheng Xi on the shoulder and comforted, "As long as you are tough, life will always be good." ”
Wu remembered what he had experienced, Cheng Xi was nothing at all, at least Cheng Xi still had a father-in-law who stood by her, and a family that loved her, the original self, the man died, and the mother's family ignored it and was still bullied by their orphans and widows to the Ma family, not that she was strong enough, I was afraid that she would have been rubbed to death by the Ma family.
Thinking about a lot of work in the field, Cheng Xi asked, "Can you break half of the corn cobs in a day today?" ”
Wu Shi responded, "San Lang is a capable worker, with his speed, half of it must be fine." ”
Thinking about taking three days off to come back to help, but going back to the county seat tomorrow, Cheng Xi looked at Wu and said with some distress, "I'm afraid the rest of the work will fall on Aunt Wu again." ”
Wu looked at Cheng Xi's worried eyes, and was very moved, she didn't expect that she could have such a day, even her stepdaughter, who had not been waiting to see her, began to care about herself, she felt that even if she was tired and tired, she was happy in her heart.
Although he thought so in his heart, Wu still responded with a smile, "It's okay, your fourth uncle and four aunts said that they were done with their family's land, so they came to our house to help." ”
Thinking of the four uncles and four aunts, they are all enthusiastic and good people, they came to help with the work last time, and with their help, Cheng Xi felt a lot more relieved.
I didn't want to talk about them just now, but when they returned to the door, they saw the three girls and four girls playing at the door, and the two girls saw Cheng Xi coming back, so they trotted excitedly in front of Cheng Xi.
Cheng Xi stepped forward with a smile, reached out and rubbed Siya's head, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Siya raised her head and responded obediently, "Second sister, we came with my father, and the third sister and I have been waiting for you to come back at the door." ”
Cheng Xi smiled and praised, "Siya is really good." ”
Sanya on the side said excitedly, "Second sister, are you coming back from the county seat?" Is it fun in the county? When are you going to take us to the county seat? You promised before, but you are not allowed to go back. ”
Sanya was talking hard, and Sanya's mother Song came out of the house, and scolded lightly, "Do you think your second sister is going to play in the county?" What can I do with you? Trouble for your second sister? Not sensible at all. ”
Sanya pouted dissatisfiedly and muttered in a low voice, "Obviously, the second sister promised me by herself." Seeing the eyes of Song Shi looking at her, there seemed to be signs of anger, and she hurriedly closed her mouth.
Cheng Xi saw Sanya, who was depressed and lowered her head because she was reprimanded by her mother, and comforted her with a smile, "The second sister promised you a certain number, but there is no way now, the second sister is still sending people under the fence, and when the second sister has a place to live, I will take you over to play." ”
Song said, "These two girls have been spoiled by their father, don't get used to them, the more you get used to them, the more you get used to them." ”
Wu smiled and said, "You, the children's affairs are up to them, go into the house, why did you come here today?" ”
The group entered the house back and forth, and Song responded to the side, "I heard that Xi Yatou and they are back, so I came to take a look, and by the way, I came over and asked you to come over for lunch, Xi Yatou has not been to my house to eat since she went out, and they are less when they are in the village, I heard that they are back in the morning, so I simply prepared lunch." ”
Cheng Xi said embarrassedly, "We didn't go to the fourth aunt's house to visit. ”
Song replied with a smile, "This is not a ready-made opportunity? Hurriedly cleaned up, Dahua talked to the second brother in the house, and said that he would let Dahua carry the second brother over. ”
Standing behind Cheng Xi, Xu Sanlang, who had been holding the corn cob on his back and hadn't spoken, suddenly responded, "Trouble the fourth aunt." ”
The Song family, who was still talking and laughing just now, stammered in the face of Xu Sanlang, "No, you're welcome." ”
Cheng Xi looked at the worried and scared expression on Song's face when he faced Xu Sanlang, and sighed in his heart, it seems that most of the people in this village believe that Xu Sanlang's life is hard to restrict, even if Cheng Xi knows that these are not credible, he can't explain it for Xu Sanlang.
Xu Saburo has long been accustomed to all kinds of strange eyes, although the Song family is also worried and afraid, but still mustered up the courage to talk to Xu Saburo, which is already very rare, Xu Saburo has rarely had contact with people, but he didn't feel anything wrong.
The Song family had already prepared lunch, and Cheng Xi's family couldn't refuse, so they all followed after cleaning up.
On the way, Wu said strangely, "Your family has come over, and there is no one left at home?" ”
Song replied a little helplessly, "My mother-in-law is at my house, I originally came over with Dahua and let the two children stay at home with their milk, but who knew that these two bear children were arguing to come over to pick up the second sister." ”
Wu listened to Song's words, and frowned slightly, "Mother-in-law is here?" ”
Song saw Wu's expression in his eyes, and knew that his mother-in-law and Wu had always been at odds with him, so he leaned over and whispered to Wu, "It's not my name, I don't know why she suddenly came over alone, I heard me say that I want to entertain Xi Yatou to eat with you, but I didn't say anything, and I was busy helping me, it was like the sun came out in the west." ”
Wu listened to Song's words, and his eyes widened in surprise, "Really? ”
Song nodded in response, "Can I lie to you about this?" Don't you know what's going on? ”
Wu shook his head and responded, "I made a fuss with that stirring spirit in my house in the morning." After speaking, Wu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and responded, "It must be because of Xi'er's words, in fact, my mother-in-law didn't have that bad heart to stir up trouble in the middle, and there wouldn't be so many bad things, let me tell you, this morning, Miss Xi gave some cruel medicine to that bad heart in front of her mother-in-law......
After that, the two of them got together, muttering as they walked, and the more they talked, the happier they became.
But Cheng Xi was entangled by the second and third ya, and asked curiously, and Cheng Xi also patiently explained to the two.
Cheng Dahua originally wanted to carry Cheng Dagui over, but was rejected by Cheng Dagui, Cheng Dagui insisted on going over on crutches, and Cheng Dahua had to go with Xu Sanlang and try to support Cheng Dagui as much as possible.
Maybe it was because he heard Cheng Dahua say about the old lady, Cheng Dagui rarely had a smile on his face all the time, and even in the face of Xu Sanlang, who had never been waiting to be seen, it was rare not to give him a face.
The two small courtyards are not too far away, but because of Cheng Dagui's legs, they didn't walk fast, and they walked for almost a quarter of an hour before they saw the small courtyard in front of them.
Cheng Xi came for the first time, so he took a closer look, it should be about the same size as his father's small courtyard, there was Mrs. Cheng standing at the gate of the courtyard, and it was rare that there was no Zhang who liked to provoke next to her.
When Mrs. Cheng saw Cheng Dagui being supported, she frowned and reprimanded, "Fourth, why did you let your second brother go by yourself, didn't you let him come over." ”
Cheng Dagui hurriedly responded, "Mother, I'm fine, I want to walk by myself, and by the way, try the new crutches that Xi Yatou ordered for me." ”
Mrs. Cheng glared at Cheng Dagui, but she personally stepped forward to take Xu Sanlang's position, Xu Sanlang obediently stood aside, Mrs. Cheng frowned slightly when she saw Xu Sanlang, but she didn't say anything, just pretended not to see it, this change made Xu Sanlang slightly surprised.
Cheng Xi was quite satisfied, at least he drove people away without seeing Xu Saburo again.
After everyone had lunch together, Cheng Xi urged Xu Sanlang to work in the field, and Mrs. Cheng rarely asked her fourth son and wife to help, and when Cheng Dagui was sent back, the group went to the ground.
On the way, Wu said with great emotion, "In the past, my mother-in-law wanted me to do all the work, but I didn't expect that there would be such a day." ”
Song said, "Mother-in-law still loves the second brother." ”
Wu sighed and replied, "Yes, I'm stained with his light." ”
There are many people, a busy day, the corn cob in the field is finally more than half, this day Cheng Xi is also tired enough, after dinner, after washing, Cheng Xi went back to the house early and collapsed on the bed motionless.
