When he sat down to eat, Du Ruo suddenly remembered that it had rained so heavily in the past two days, and there should be nothing wrong with Zhou Ning's mother-in-law, right? There was a vague worry in her heart.

Zhou Ning's mother-in-law has a strong temper, she doesn't want to see others, and others naturally don't want to see her, no one helps her to do anything, and few people go to her house. A few days ago, Du Ruo went there and helped carry a bucket of water, she was old and weak, and even the draft became a problem.

"Drive away once, dare to come a second time! Thick-skinned! Cai muttered, "What kind of sin has the Song family created!" ”

Song Ju'an saw that Du Ruo really didn't plan to ask Du Ercheng to come into the house for dinner, so he put down his chopsticks and was about to get up to call him, but saw Du Ercheng come in shaking!

Du Ercheng limped, hooked a stool to the table, sat down with open legs, picked up chopsticks with a smile and looked at the food on the table and said, "It smells so fragrant!" ”

Du Ruobai glanced at him, "It's late tonight, just stay, you go back early tomorrow and apologize to your parents." ”

"I don't! They're the ones who want to drive me away! Du Ercheng took a big bite of the steamed bun and nodded incessantly.

"Your family doesn't want to see you, so you come to our house? Isn't there a shame in coming empty-handed?! Cai was still annoyed.

Du Ercheng looked left and right, shook it on the stool, and said with a smile: "Isn't this in a hurry!" The road is not easy to walk, what if I fall while I take something! Catch up with Ming'er, I will cut ten catties of meat for my mother-in-law! Two more old hens! Take another fish, honor your old age, and let you eat enough! ”

"Phew! It's weird and nice! Cai took a bite of him,

Du Ercheng hurriedly grabbed a few chopsticks and put them into Cai's bowl, "Mother-in-law, eat quickly!" Eat more! My sister came back late, and the meal was almost cold! ”

Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Du Ercheng is so attentive, although Cai's is angry, he is still a little useful, but he still scolded in his mouth: "I don't need your rabbit cub to pick up vegetables for me!" ”

Hearing Cai's mention of rabbits, Du Ercheng glanced outside, greedy: "I just looked, that pair of rabbits gave birth to rabbits again!" Ming'er killed the old rabbit and ate it, right? Grilled and eaten best! ”

"You dare!" Cai glared at him.

Du Ercheng immediately became cowardly: "I don't dare, I don't dare!" ”

He suddenly remembered something, and said to Du Ruo and Song Ju'an: "Brother-in-law, sister, I'm coming back, in fact, there are other things, I can't study, didn't I tell the butcher in your village last time that I would follow him to learn some skills?" I'm here to learn! I didn't dare to tell my parents about this, they still scolded me for studying! ”

"Then you better go back and discuss with your parents, don't wait for them to complain about me." Du Ruo said.

"Where am I a piece of reading material! Let's not talk about it, after studying for a while, they know that they can't scold if they want to! Second sister, you said that I went to someone's house dryly, and I didn't take any apprenticeship gifts, would people accept me? ”

"What do you want to learn? You probably can't do the work of slaughtering pigs and cows. Song Ju'an said.

"Second brother-in-law, don't underestimate me! Who will start with it! Why don't any of you take me? I'm from a foreign village, maybe people just said casually last time, I'm thin-skinned, what can I do if I go to people who don't want me! ”

Du Ruo: "......"

"Are you going to let him learn?" Song Ju'an asked Du Ruo.

Du Ruo looked up at him, and then looked at Du Ercheng, who was in the second bar, maybe he didn't want to learn after a few days? Just like the last time I went to school, I fished for three days and dried my nets for two days, so I had to say, "Let him be!" ”

If he is willing to study hard, it is good to have a skill to eat.

"I'll take you to his house later." Song Ju'an said.

After eating, Du Ercheng ran to the kitchen like a thief again, and whispered to Du Ruo, who was brushing the pot: "Second sister, do you want to help me get some apprenticeship first?" ”

"No need, your brother-in-law has some friendship with Han Liang, and he should sell him face." Du Ruo said.

She remembered her previous suspicions about Han Liang, so she instructed: "You go to him, be careful to look at people's faces in everything, no more than at home, everything is up to you, come to me, I don't care about you." If there's anything wrong, just tell me. ”

Du Ercheng nodded again and again.

Song Ju'an walked to the door with an umbrella and said to Du Ercheng: "Let's go!" ”

"Okay!" Du Ercheng responded happily and jumped out.

After Du Ruo put away the dishes and chopsticks, he returned to the West House, and stood in the room and glanced around, examining his belongings. I've lived for so long, almost all summer, and sometimes I can wake up several times in the heat of sleeping. In the small room, almost all her sorrows and sorrows were witnessed.

Now that I look closely, it is very tidy, fortunately she and Song Ju'an are both people who love cleanliness.

She opened the wooden box and picked out two or three decent garments; She took out the stack of embroidery patterns she had cut before, and took a book she had bought from the bookshelf and put it in it, and she didn't need any stitches; In addition to the shoes she wore on her feet, the pair she wore when she came back today was also ready, so she took these two pairs with her.

No jewelry, no rouge, nothing at all.

She looked at the things she had picked out and searched the room again before bending down to put them together in the wooden boxes in the room.

Finding an umbrella, she walked towards the gate of the courtyard with her support, and she didn't know if Zhou Ning's mother-in-law was sleeping now.

"Where are you going? It's the middle of the night! Cai's voice shouted from behind her.

Du Ruo looked back at her and saw her standing at the door of the hall, so he said, "I'll go and ask An Lang and Ercheng to come back early." ”

"Ju An is also heartbroken, not your unsuccessful brother............"

Du Ruo didn't say anything more, pushed open the door and walked out.

When she arrived outside Zhou Ning's mother-in-law's house, there was an oil lamp in her house. Du Ruo knocked on the door first, but no one answered, so he pushed it open with his hand.

Walking in, Granny Zhou Ning was sitting there spinning thread cross-legged, her cloudy eyes staring directly at the thick white cotton thread wrapped around the shelf, and her movements were like a machine.

Du Ruo came in, Zhou Ning's mother-in-law turned her head to look over, looked at her for a long time, recognized her, bent over and stood up with one hand on the ground, "You're here?" ”

"Mother-in-law, I'll come to see you." Du Ruo said with a smile.

"Sit down! Thirsty or not? ”

"I'm not thirsty." Du Ruo took the initiative to sit in front of the spinning machine to help her spin the thread.

Mother-in-law Zhou Ning poured her a bowl of water, brought it over and handed it to her, Du Ruo hurriedly took it, "Mother-in-law, you sit, don't pour water for me, I'm not thirsty, by the way, it's raining heavily in the past two days, how do you carry water?" Be careful, the muddy water outside is too slippery, and it can be a big deal if you fall. ”

Zhou Ning's mother-in-law also sat down at the table next to her, with a kind face, looking at Du Ruo carefully, she didn't know what Du Ruo said, she heard a few words, and pointed to the door of the room: "I put the bucket under the eaves to catch the rain!" ”

Du Ruo let out an 'oh', thinking that when she left later, she would help carry a bucket.

"Mother-in-law, have you eaten at night?" Du Ruo asked again, pointing to his mouth.

Mother-in-law Zhou Ning nodded with a smile, "Today, somehow I suddenly had the strength to make a big bowl of noodles, which is delicious!" ”

Du Ruo was very happy to see that although her face was still gray, she was obviously more energetic than before, and her ears seemed to be able to hear a little.

The two sat for a while, and Zhou Ning's mother-in-law suddenly said: "I have lived for most of my life, and I have seen it............ If I don't say it, the village won't know about me stealing the master's things, but I can't swallow this breath, and I can't stand the plain framing of others......

"My daughter doesn't come to see me much, probably because it's embarrassing......"

Du Ruo thought for a while and said: "Why didn't my mother-in-law talk to the Meng family at that time, Old Man Meng and Master Meng should not be indistinguishable from right and wrong, if you shout injustice, they may investigate carefully and return your innocence." ”

The Meng family is not so confused, right?

Granny Zhou Ning rubbed her knee with one hand, and seemed to be in deep thought, "Young Master Meng...... The men wanted to drive me away, and I begged him on my knees, but he ignored him...... I wanted to beg the young lady, but I didn't know where she was......"

Du Ruoxin said, the young master and young lady she said should be Meng Ye and his wife.

"I remembered...... At that time, the young lady was locked up by them...... She's also very bitter......" she muttered again, "and then I heard that she was dead......

Du Ruo was taken aback.

Where is this? Meng Yuanzhou likes Tang Li so much, even if it has been three years since she died, the love in his heart has only increased. Such an affectionate and dedicated man is hard to find in the world.

"Mother-in-law, are you mistaken?" Du Ruo stopped his movements and wanted to ask clearly.

Granny Zhou Ning looked at the ground and stopped talking, for a long time, she suddenly remembered something, stood up and walked towards the back room.

When she came out, she was holding a candy figure in her hand, but the candy figure had melted away and she couldn't see what it looked like, and the colors were pasted together.

"Here you go!" She walked over and handed it to Du Ruo, "It's specially reserved for you to eat, you haven't been here for a few days!" ”

Du Ruo took the sugar man, and a warm current poured into his heart. Although it was already dirty and inedible, she still licked it twice and tasted it.

"It's so sweet!" She said.

Granny Zhou Ning looked at her with a smile, and the furrow on her face deepened.

After a while, Du Ruo got up and went outside with a bucket to fetch her a bucket of water and carried it to the kitchen. After a few more casual conversations with her, he said goodbye and asked her to rest early.

Du Ruo thought in his heart that when she left, he would leave some silver for Zhou Ning's mother-in-law, and buy some things for her to send over.

When she got home, Song Ju'an had already returned, and when she saw her back, she asked where she had gone.

Du Ruo answered truthfully, and saw that Du Ercheng was not there, so he asked him where Du Ercheng had gone.

"Han Liang promised to teach him, let him fight there first, and Bao Ercheng will eat and live." Song Ju'an said.

"I'll thank Han Liang another day." Du Ruo said.

"It's cold outside, you're wearing thin clothes, and it's not good to be in the rain and moon, how can you stand it like this." Song Ju'an suddenly said again, looking a little worried.

"I'm fine, my mother is asleep, right?"

"Well, you can also lie down and rest, and tomorrow you have to find Lang Zhong to come to the house to have a look."

"No, I'm fine."
