"I want to practice my calligraphy......"

"Why don't you practice at home? It just so happens that I can teach you when I'm idle. ”

"Didn't you want to teach before?"

"I'm willing to do it again."

Du Ruo: "......"

"If you're idle, go home and chop wood." Du Ruo said.

"I haven't seen Zhou Ning's mother-in-law for a long time, I'll follow you to have a look." Song Ju'an's tone was calm and he didn't see anything unusual.

Du Ruo just walked forward and stopped talking.

When she arrived at Zhou Ning's mother-in-law's house, Zhou Ning's mother-in-law was struggling to move the table, and she wanted to move the wooden table placed in the middle under the window. When I'm old, my eyes are not good, and I can't see clearly when I cut things and do needlework on weekdays, so I should be bright when I sit by the window.

Seeing that she pushed and pulled hard, and the table made a screeching friction sound, Song Juan stepped forward and asked, "Where is my mother-in-law going to move this table?" ”

Granny Zhou Ning raised her head and looked at him with her eyes open for a long time, as if she couldn't remember who he was for a while. Du Ruo also stepped forward and called her respectfully.

Zhou Ning's mother-in-law glanced at Du Ruo, and then at Song Ju'an, but she didn't hear what he just said, as if she wanted to help her, so she pointed under the window.

Song Ju'an opened his arms and moved the table over, and Du Ruo helped her move the things on the ground.

"Mother-in-law, have you had breakfast?" Du Ruo asked.

As soon as the words fell, he heard a tearing sound, turned his head to look, and found that Song Juan looked down at his sleeve, just now he walked next to the wall, but he didn't expect that a nail on the wall hooked his sleeve and broke it.

Granny Zhou Jing looked at Song Ju'an, pointed to the stool, and slowly moved towards the inner room.

He had to come along, who was the one who had torn his clothes now? Du Ruo didn't say much, took out the things that had been placed here before and looked through them, cleaned up the clutter on the table, put the pen and paper on it, and took out a book from the basket to press the paper.

Song Ju'an walked to the opposite side and sat down, stretched out his hand to take the book in his hand, and asked, "How do you recognize the words?" ”

"Not much, you need to know some words to do things in the embroidery village, so I'll just buy a few books and flip through them."

"You have just learned, you should buy "Thousand Character Text" and "Hundred Family Names". He said.

"I'll buy it in a few days."

"No need, I'll write it down for you in two days." He opened the book and looked at it a few times, talking about some folk customs and folk ornaments, which showed that she had chosen it intentionally.

Although he knew that she was literate and that what she said was meaningless, he always wanted to say more.

Du Ruo sharpened the ink, picked up the brush and wrote a few simple words on the paper: mountain, stone, book, up, down......

His eyes fell on it, and he saw that she was writing carefully one stroke at a time, but the words were a little distorted, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or if it was not good in itself.

Being watched, Du Ruo wrote a few, put down the pen in annoyance, took out paper and scissors, and cut them with bated breath.

Zhou Ning's mother-in-law came out of the house, holding a few thread balls in her hands, walked to Song Ju'an's side tremblingly, stretched out her hand and pulled his sleeve, compared it, selected a thread ball, took out a needle from the basket, squinted her eyes and threaded the thread.

"If my mother-in-law doesn't bother, if it's not in the way, I'll just go home and sew it up." Song Ju'an hurriedly put down the book.

Du Ruo finally looked up and looked over there, and saw that Zhou Ning's mother-in-law was about to sew and mend clothes for Song Ju'an, she hurriedly walked over and took the needle and thread from her hand, "Mother-in-law, I'll sew, your eyes are not good, so sit down and rest." ”

Mother-in-law Zhou Ning pulled up the place where her clothes were torn, and pointed: "If you can't sew it, embroider two entangled vines on each sleeve to cover it." ”

Du Ruo nodded.

Granny Zhou Ning got up again and went to the back room.

Du Ruo sat down in front of him, straightened the place where he was scratched, glanced at it and said: "This dress has been worn for two years, and it is not a good fabric. ”

"Hmm." He tilted his head slightly, looking at her expression, two years? Du Shi has only been married to him for so long, and she knows it clearly.

He began to feel a little confused in his heart.

Du Ruo quickly repaired his sleeves, lowered his head and approached to bite off the thread with his teeth, collected the needle and thread, sat back in his original position, and continued to cut.

"I'm going to the village chief's house." Song Ju'an stood up.

Du Ruo replied without raising his head.

He turned and walked out.

After a while, Du Ruo hurriedly put down the scissors in his hand, walked over and closed the door, studied the ink again, and picked up the pen to write and draw on the paper where he was writing. When she goes to the embroidery village tomorrow, she must draw the things for Meng Ye to see.

In addition to these, there is also the matter of compiling an embroidery reference book, which also needs to be prepared.

Song Ju'an followed her today, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional. But no matter what he wants to see, she is Du Rulan.

After painting all morning, when he went back to cook at noon, Du Ruo saw Song Ju'an and Su Mingyang sitting in their yard playing stone chess, and Cai's was happily busy in the kitchen.

Seeing that Cai Shi was sitting on the fire, she took out Cai Shihe's noodles and rolled them out with a rolling pin, and when the noodles became a thin sheet, she folded them and cut them one by one. The things on the board were packed up, and he was about to walk to the courtyard to breathe a sigh of relief, only to hear Cai and his proud words: "The village chief said!" Ju An continues to teach in the academy! ”

Du Ruo looked at her in surprise, walked out, and listened to Su Mingyang and Song Ju'an talking while playing chess.

Su Mingyang grabbed a handful of stones in his hand, frowned and thought hard, "Let me have a son!" Brother Song! ”

"I've conceded five times."

"Wasn't that the last time? Not this time. Su Mingyang changed his sitting posture, looked at the chessboard and continued to be distressed, he shook the stone in his hand and said: "Today is really happy, I have never seen Liang Xiucai being dumbfounded, he still failed to pass the exam for so many years, I think he will not be an official in his life!" ”

"He is not as good as you, and his eloquence is even less than you, you just asked him a few questions, and he couldn't answer, which made him lose face in front of everyone, and I think he will hate Mr. in the future!" Su Mingyang said again, "But if he really becomes an official, with his small-bellied chicken intestines, he will probably be embarrassed by you in the future."

Song Ju'an pinched a son in his hand, and disdain flashed on his face, "The officialdom is difficult and difficult, he will definitely not be able to go far, even if he is a small county on the ground, it is just a mediocre life of flies and dogs." ”

Su Mingyang nodded again and again, "But Brother Song, why are you so familiar with those highly respected old masters in Taixue?" As if I've seen it! ”

"I heard that, too." Song Ju'an said.

Du Ruo listened to the conversation between the two silently, and his heart was full of doubts, Song Ju'an seemed to be well-informed, not at all like a person who only knew how to live by guarding an acre and a third of land.

It is said that his family fell into the middle of the road and fled.

If his family was rich and prosperous in the past, but suddenly changed, his family was ruined, and he died on the way to escape, then everything he showed had an explanation: whenever he accidentally remembered the past, he was in pain, he couldn't control himself, he couldn't accept such a big change, but he could only lick his wounds alone.

Du Ruo bit his lip, and intuitively felt that his inner drama was too rich, so why bother to find a reason for his madness and death...... So she turned and went back to the kitchen.

When the meal was ready, Cai called the people in the courtyard to eat.

"Mingyang, it's time for your family to cook, right? If you don't go back, your father and mother won't be able to find anyone for dinner! Cai said with a smile.

"Mother, let Mingyang eat here." Song Ju'an said.

Du Ruo took a bowl of noodles out, and also looked at Su Mingyang and said, "Mingyang might as well eat a bowl of noodles here, I don't know if you dislike the coarse tea and light rice." ”

Cai turned his head and glared at her, blaming her for being too talkative.

Su Mingyang hurriedly stood up with a red face, afraid of beating his robe, "No, no!" It's time for my mother to look for me! I'll come back another day! With that, he quickly walked towards the door.

Looking at his departing back, Du Ruo took a bite of food into her mouth, but she watched as Su Mingyang, who was about to reach out to open the door, was knocked back again.

Su Mingyang covered his nose and said 'ouch' a few times, this impact was not light, he felt dizzy and a little unsteady on his feet, and the blood rushed to his head.

The door was pushed open half from the outside, and the person outside saw that he couldn't open it, so he turned sideways, first passed the burden on his shoulders through the door, and the two big roosters tied to the burden in front of him fluttered their wings and screamed a few times, and the fallen leaves on the ground of the fan swirled and flew up, and then he raised one leg and stepped forward, stretched out his head to look behind the door, and saw Su Mingyang standing there with his nose covered, he didn't realize that Su Mingyang nodded and smiled, then looked at the people in the yard again, and stepped in with the other leg by the way.

The other end of the burden also followed, and a basket was picked up behind him, and as soon as he turned around, the basket swayed to Su Mingyang's waist again, and Su Mingyang covered his waist again.

"I'm sorry! Sorry! Du Ercheng apologized to Su Mingyang repeatedly, and then shouted to Du Ruo, who was standing in the courtyard eating noodles, "Second sister! ”

Du Ruo looked at the 'relative' who suddenly came to the house in surprise, Du Rulan's younger brother.

"Why are you here?" She hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"This ...... Brother out of the way, right? Du Ercheng didn't answer her, but looked at Su Mingyang, glanced at Su Mingyang, who was covering his waist and nose, and said in his heart, this little white face is weak and can't hide in time, who is to blame for being hit? Count him out of luck!

"It's okay! All right! Su Mingyang waved his hand, since he was a relative of the Song family, he naturally couldn't blame it, so he covered his waist and raised his feet and turned around and went out.

Du Ercheng raised his foot to close the door, put down the burden on his shoulders, looked at them with a smile and said, "Brother-in-law! Mother-in-law! My father and mother told me to come and visit my relatives and see you! ”

Seeing that he had picked so many things, Cai couldn't close his mouth with joy, and hurriedly said, "This is Ercheng, right?" Come in the house, come in the house! Silly children are not outsiders, what are you doing with so many things! ”

Song Ju'an also said: "Let's go into the house and rest!" ”

Du Ruo had to go back to the kitchen and bring another bowl of noodles to the hall.

Du Ercheng stood on the edge of Daddy Song's bed at this time, glanced at it a few times, sighed a few times, shook his head and sighed: "Daddy's illness has not been short, and our family hasn't come to see it a few times, so my mother asked me to take two chickens and cook them for Daddy!" ”

"Hey! The in-laws are too polite! Cai smiled.

"Haven't eaten yet, have you? It just so happened that the family meal had just been prepared. Song Ju'an glanced at Du Ruo and said.

Du Ruo put the noodles on the table and said to Du Ercheng: "Are you hungry?" Let's eat first. ”

"I'm not hungry, I'm thirsty, second sister, bring me a bowl of water first!" Du Ercheng sat down on the stool.
