Du Ruo went to scoop a bowl of water and handed it to him.
Du Ercheng took the bowl and drank it all, his thirsty throat was about to smoke! After drinking, he handed the bowl to Du Ruo: "Second sister, scoop me up with another bowl of water!" Thirsty! ”
Du Ruo had no choice but to bring him another bowl of water.
Cai Shi saw the three of them talking in the house, so she quietly walked out, walked to the place where Du Ercheng put the burden, opened the cover on the basket and took a look, there were a few sweet potatoes inside, and a bag of fried pasta, she pouted, and covered it with disgust.
"What a time for me! Catch you guys for dinner! Du Ercheng said with a smile after drinking the water.
Song Ju'an walked to the other side and sat down. In front of Du Ercheng, Du Ruo hurriedly picked up the rice bowl and handed it to him, and he walked back and sat next to Du Ercheng.
"There's nothing going on at home, is it?" She asked.
"What can it be? I can't be accommodated at home! It's not like you don't know what Dacheng is like! At home, my father always scolds me! Du Ercheng took a bite of rice and said while eating.
Du Ruo nodded in agreement, but said in his heart, I'm afraid he can't tolerate others, right? Du Ercheng has no other skills, and his ability to cause trouble is second to none.
He's always thinking about something in his head, and something will happen. He was quite happy that the Zhou family was like this, and he felt that his second son was promising.
"Who was the guy who came to your house just now?" Du Ercheng asked.
"It's a student taught by An Lang, from a village." Du Ruo said.
"I've bumped into someone's house, and my brother-in-law will compensate me another day!" Du Ercheng Dao.
Song Ju'an nodded.
After drinking two large bowls of water, Du Ercheng ate another big bowl of noodles, and the amount of rice was very large. Du Ruo estimated that he could still eat, but he was embarrassed to eat so much at a relative's house.
Cai ate and sat on the edge of Daddy Song's bed with a porcelain bowl to feed him, Du Ercheng didn't know where to touch a fan, stood next to Daddy Song's bed and fanned lightly, with a worried face, and said with great concern: "Mother-in-law, Daddy's food has always been good?" ”
"Let's eat as much as you want!" Cai Shi said, her tone was sincerely sad.
"Don't worry, Daddy is a good man and has a long life, and there will be more times to enjoy happiness in the future! I'm the most accurate person to see people, and my father's face can live to be 100 years old! Du Ercheng said, "In the past, there was an old man in our village, who had been lying down sick, and could only open his mouth to eat, and he couldn't even speak, it was almost ten years, and his sons and grandchildren were all older!" Who knows if you will be able to get out of bed one day! The children and grandchildren are full of filial piety! What kind of work is there at home, people are rushing to do it......"
Du Ruo and Song Ju'an sat there, silently listening to his nonsense.
Cai Shi was very happy to be coaxed by him, and he smiled so much that even the wrinkles on his face expanded.
"I think you're a good person, did you say kiss?" Cai asked him rhetorically.
"I still have to honor my father and mother for a few more years, and I will get married in two years!" Du Dacheng Dao.
Du Ruo got up and went to the West House, took a book from the shelf, stood there and flipped through it, and didn't know when Du Ercheng would leave, she had to go to Zhou Ning's mother-in-law to work in the afternoon.
After a long while, she heard that Cai seemed to be on crutches and went out, and she was smiling very heartily when she left, and then she heard Du Ercheng standing at the door of the hall and asking, "Brother-in-law!" What about my second sister? ”
Song Ju'an, who was sitting in the courtyard, glanced at the West House.
Du Ercheng opened the curtain and walked in, "Second sister, I have something to tell you!" Seeing Du Ruo holding a book in his hand, he walked to the desk and sat down, looked up and down all over the room, looked left and right, and said: "Second sister, you are a woman and illiterate, don't look at these things blindly!" I have something to tell you. ”
Du Ruo walked up to him, "What's the matter, let's talk about it!" ”
"On the day of my mother's birth, the tuition I told you about the tuition asked you to blow the pillow wind to your brother-in-law, what did you and your second brother-in-law say?" Du Ercheng whispered.
"This money is not received by your brother-in-law, and it is useless to say it." Du Ruo said.
"Why didn't it work? Even if you can't be exempted, you can charge less! ”
"The honorarium for him to teach in the academy has not yet been settled! It's just a poor teacher, and it doesn't work if you say it. ”
"Alas! Dad and my mother asked me to come here today for this matter, I will be sent to the school in the autumn, Dacheng refuses to pay, my father and mother have no savings, what should I do? Du Ercheng pounded the table with his hand.
"What can I do? If you don't have money, you won't study. Du Ruo said casually.
Du Ercheng stared at Du Ruo's expression, leaned forward and asked tentatively: "Second sister, I heard that you recently went to Yunshui Embroidery Village to work, is it true?" ”
"Hmm."
"My good second sister! You don't tell your parents about such a big thing! I heard people talk about my father and mother, I still don't believe it, you make a lot of money, and your mother's brother doesn't want it anymore? Let's grow up in a small piece! You can't leave me alone! Du Ercheng hurriedly stood up, helped Du Ruo to sit down, and diligently pinched her back and shoulders.
Song Ju'an walked in from outside, turned his head to look at the two of them, and said, "Is there something wrong with Ercheng?" ”
Du Ercheng looked at Du Ruo, hesitated and didn't know whether to say it or not, he didn't know who had the final say in this family, so he couldn't pit the second sister, right? made her and her second brother-in-law unable to get by.
"If there's something, just say it." Du Ruo said.
After getting Du Ruo's words, Du Ercheng hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, I want to study, you teach in the school, can you stop charging me tuition?" ”
Song Ju'an shook his head: "I only teach books, and I can't be the master of anything else." ”
Du Ercheng sighed and stopped his movements, "Look! I knew it wouldn't work, so could the second sister and second brother-in-law put the silver on for me first, and I would pay back the money next year! ”
Du Ruo knew that Du Ercheng was very mouthful, and the silver was lent out, and basically disappeared.
"The family plans to buy a cow, but the money is not enough." Du Ruo said.
"Second sister! My brother-in-law teaches in the school, you work in the embroidery village, you earn silver twice, and there are crops in the field, which are better than others to the sky, and you are still complaining about your own brother! Daddy and mother are afraid that they will die of sadness when they hear it! You weren't like that before! Patronizing his own little life, regardless of whether his mother's family is dead or alive! Du Ercheng complained.
Song Ju'an didn't speak, and lowered his head to tidy up his clothes.
Du Ruo looked at Du Ercheng, who was blowing his nose and glaring, and thought for a while: "That's it, you go to the school for a few days, if you really like to read, your brother-in-law and I will take money to help make up for it, and ask your father and mother to get you some more, if you think reading is boring, go home to work, and save money to pay tuition, how about it?" ”
Du Ercheng thought for a moment and nodded, "Then it's decided!" "Those two big cocks didn't take it for nothing!
However, he looked at Du Ruo, glanced at Song Ju'an again, muttered a little in his heart, and asked carefully: "Second brother-in-law...... What do you mean? My second sister said...... "Does what she said count?"
"Listen to your second sister." Song Ju'an said.
Du Ercheng hurriedly said, "Huh! 'Sighed.
"Since you said it, then you can go back first, and don't forget to go to the school after breakfast tomorrow." Du Ruo said.
"Go back? Where to go? ”
"Go back to my mother's house." Du Ruo supported his forehead.
"I'm not going back! I came out of a quarrel with my dad! ”
"Not going back...... Where do you live? ”
Du Ercheng looked at Song Ju'an, and then at Du Ruo, "Second sister!" I came to you, and you can't drive me away!" I just looked, the Song family's house is small, there is no place to sleep in the house, the rattan chair in the yard is quite good, I will sleep there at night! I can make do! ”
Du Ruo: "......"
Song Ju'an: "......"
Du Ercheng said angrily to himself: "I have to take Du Feng'er to play!" I sat on the tree and squinted for a while, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that he had fallen into the river, and was fluttering! I was so scared that I quickly fished people back, and when I went home, I was beaten by my father! Dacheng told me to get out, just get out! I'm looking for you! Before leaving, my mother asked me to bring you these things! ”
Du Ruo sighed deeply in his heart, his hand touched his forehead, and he didn't know what to say.
"It's not far from home, won't it be okay if you go home and admit your mistake to your father?" She is in a worrying situation now, and she is angry all day long, how can the Cai family give Du Ercheng a good look?
"Dad is angry, let's wait for him to lose his anger in two days!" Du Ercheng Dao.
"Brother-in-law! Tell me what to prepare for the school? I didn't bring anything with me! Will people laugh at me? Du Ercheng was like a chicken blood, and he was happy and apprehensive when he mentioned going to the school.
"There are ready-made ones at home, so you don't need to prepare them." Song Ju'an said.
"That's it! I'm afraid that the grandchildren in the school will bully me! Brother-in-law, you have to cover me more......"
Before Du Ruo went out, he told Du Ercheng to let him go around the village by himself, not to do things that should not be done, not to offend people, and not to mess around...... In short, there are a lot of things to order, and she is really afraid that Du Ercheng will accidentally cause something.
When I went to Zhou Ning's mother-in-law's house, the drawing paper was still spread on the table, and the ink had dried.
Granny Zhou Ning was sitting cross-legged on a mat filled with torn cotton wool spinning thread, turning the spinning machine with one hand and slowly reloading the cotton with the other, her upper body was lying on her back, and her eyes looked dry and unfocused.
Du Ruo walked over and asked her, "Mother-in-law, have you cooked and eaten at noon?" ”
Granny Zhou Ning stopped and glanced at her, "What?" She pursed her lips.
"Have you eaten?" Du Ruo made the action of serving a bowl to eat.
Granny Zhou Ning glanced outside, as if she was thinking hard, and then wondered, "Are you going to eat again so soon?" I wondered how long I had just finished eating. ”
It seemed that she hadn't eaten, and Du Ruo stood up. When people are old, their perception of the surroundings is poor, Zhou Ning's mother-in-law should not go out, and there are no people living around, and no one comes to look for her, day after day.
She went to the kitchen, found the dried wild vegetables, and made noodles again. After a while, I made a bowl of noodles and came out.
The amount of food for one person is sometimes not worth firing.
Bringing the noodles to her to eat, Du Ruo sat next to the spinning wooden frame and spun for her for a while. Everything is now learned, the loom at home is in the back room, and no one has touched it since Yinhua was called away, she won't, and Cai's leg can't do it.
Zhou Ning's mother-in-law took it from her after eating, and Du Ruo came to the table to paint.
