Several people who came with the old man also accused the dishman of being inappropriate and disrespectful to his elders.

One of them said: "Even if he is not your biological father, but he is the father of your daughter-in-law, not to mention that you are the door upside down, and you dare to talk like this!" ”

Another person said: "Brother-in-law, my sister didn't say a word at the beginning, and you ran away, and now you know that the days outside are not as good as here, right?" It's okay to come back and admit your mistake, you are still my brother-in-law, don't let my sister be widowed at such a young age! ”

People here call "brother-in-law" "brother-in-law".

When the dishmaker saw that the man called him "brother-in-law", he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't know your brother-in-law!" I also don't remember my daughter-in-law having a brother like you. ”

This sentence of the tinker annoyed the other party. The young man who called him his brother-in-law couldn't bear it anymore, so he rushed over and grabbed his arm and dragged him to the other side of the bridge, scolding as he dragged it: "How could my sister take a fancy to you, a cowardly white-eyed wolf? Obviously, they have come here, and they still have to pretend to be confused and not admit their mistakes! ”

The tinker didn't have time to pick up his tools before he was dragged out of the pavilion.

Several other people stepped forward together, twisting their arms and pulling their sleeves. As the saying goes, a good man is hard to beat the two-in-command. Where can the dish-tinker defeat them with the strength of one man? So, he watched as the mending bowl was getting farther and farther away from him.

Fortunately, he was able to recover his polyester later. Someone else won't use what he takes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to Thrush Village to mend the bowls, and he wouldn't have met his grandfather, and he wouldn't have talked about these things in front of his grandfather.

He was almost carried across the Eye Bridge by these men. After walking about two miles along a road south of the Shuangyan Bridge, they entered a village.

At that time, it was just the rice harvest season, and there were many paddy fields on both sides of the avenue, and there were several threshing machines scattered in the paddy fields, and there were people threshing on the threshing machines, stepping on the rollers and making a whining sound, as if a huge monster was crying.

The scattered rice crumbs flew around under the blowing of the wind, and when they fell on the face, they itched.

There were two or three rice crumbs on the dishman's face, but his hand was grabbed by those men, and there was no way to remove the rice crumbs.

The rice crumbs swayed gently on his face, making people feel very uncomfortable like mosquitoes perched on his face.

When some of the threshing peasants were close to the road, they saw them carrying the bowl mending makers, and they smiled and asked, "Have you brought him back?" ”

The man who carried him said, "He himself came to the pavilion by the bridge." ”

When I entered the village, I immediately had some idle adults and children gathered around the bowlmaker to watch the excitement.

When the dishmaker saw the crowd, he thought he saw the hope of salvation and shouted, "They have the wrong person!" They recognize the wrong person! I'm not from here! ”

Unexpectedly, those adults and children laughed, and none of them felt that this was abnormal.

He was carried to a house with blue tiles and mud walls, but much taller and larger than the other houses in the village. You can also see the faded character "囍" and mandarin duck paper-cut on the window.

When they arrived at the door, the young man who had just called the tinker as his brother-in-law shouted, "Brother brother-in-law is back!" ”

An old lady heard the shouts and came to the door, and when she saw the people coming with the dishmakers, she squinted and said, "My cub! You're finally back! ”

When the elderly here express their affection for the juniors, they usually call the juniors "my cubs". Judging by the old lady's joy, the tinkerer felt that she must have been very fond of the man who had run away.

The tinker thought back to the series of situations just now, and had already made the general situation clearer. The man they were looking for was certainly not him, the tinkerer, but he was very much like the man they were looking for. And that person must have quarreled with his family two or three years ago and left here in a fit of rage.

The tinker quieted down for a moment, thinking about how to explain his situation to the family.

The men carried the tinker into the house.

As soon as he entered the door, the bowlmaker saw a young woman in her twenties, very beautiful, crying at him.

He didn't know who this young woman was or why she was crying.

The young woman cried, "Why are you smaller than a woman's heart? I thought you weren't coming back! ”

The young man who called him "brother-in-law" stepped forward to comfort the young woman and said, "Sister, if you want to blame, blame yourself for how you look at such a wreck!" ”

The young woman slapped the young man, which was naturally not heavy, and scolded: "He is your brother-in-law, and he is also older than you, how can you say that about him?" What if he gets angry again and runs away? ”

The young man covered his face and stopped talking.

Only then did the tinker realize that this good-looking young woman should be the wife of the man who had run away.

She is indeed good-looking. Girls in peasant families usually have to help their families with farm work, either their faces are a little tanned, or their fingers are rough, and if they pull up their trousers, the ankles should be yellowed, which is often left by soaking in the paddy fields.

Her face was very white, not tanned a little, and her fingers were like peeling onion roots, so delicate that it made people panic. Since it was really hot that day, she pulled up her trouser legs to cool off, and those feet were exposed, white more than the sun outside.

As soon as she cried, no man could help but feel pity.

The people put down the tinker and sat down in the room, talking and laughing, talking about the man who had left the place.

When the tinker saw that the mood of the men had eased, he told them who he really was. He said, "I'm not the person you're looking for. I'm from Xianning, Hubei Province, I have a family and a room, and I make a living by mending bowls, and I just took a nap in that pavilion for a while, and you mistook him for the person you were looking for. Please let me go back, so that I can take the mending bowl and go to business. ”

The young woman's younger brother said, "Brother-in-law, my sister is already okay with you, so you don't have to take an inch." We can hear your voice, we can recognize your appearance, I admit my mistake alone, can everyone else admit my mistake? Don't lie to us. Husband and wife fight, the head of the bed hits the end of the bed and. Why do you hold a grudge for so long? ”

The old lady said, "Are you embarrassed to say that your brother-in-law and brother, isn't it that you often laugh at him when you see him slamming the door upside down?" ”

The old lady turned to the tinker and said, "Don't be angry, I'll cook for you." Then the old lady said to the men who helped to carry the bowls, "It is really hard for you, so you all stay here and eat with us." ”

After a while, the old lady set the table and chopsticks. They sat down at the table and began to eat.

The tinker had eaten some dry food while he was in the pavilion, but he felt a little hungry after exerting a lot of effort in the course of arguing with those people just now. He couldn't help but sniff a few more of the fragrant meals, which were much better than the ones he ate when he was out to mend the bowl. Working as a peddler outside the home is that it is difficult to get hot food into your mouth.

But he didn't dare to pick up the dishes and chopsticks easily.

Once you pick it up, it's like admitting that you are that person.

The old lady saw that the dishmaker did not move the dishes and chopsticks, and persuaded her: "Eat some, don't be embarrassed, it's not like we haven't eaten together at the same table before." Come on, come on, eat. The old lady raised her chopsticks and pointed at the dishes on the table.

"Old man, I'm really not your inverted son-in-law." The tinker swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said.

"What's the inverted door? When they come to my house, they are a family, just like my own son! "The old lady didn't understand what the tinker really meant.

The tinker could see that the old lady was genuinely good to him. In other words, she is really good to the son-in-law who is upside down.

The young woman's old father also advised him to eat.

The tinker still didn't dare to raise his chopsticks.

When the young woman's brother saw him like this, he probably realized that he had done a bad job, so he put down his chopsticks and said to him, "Brother brother-in-law, you said that we all recognized the wrong person, so you should tell me, how do you prove that we are all wrong?" ”

The tinker said, "How to prove it?" I'm not! You don't believe me! ”

The young woman was silent for a while, and then said, "I have a solution. ”

The tinker and the young woman's brother hurriedly asked, "What can you do?" ”

The others also turned their heads to listen to the young woman's idea.

The young woman said a little shyly, "Your brother-in-law has a black mole the size of a soybean on the inner thigh, and a hair grows on the black mole. ”

When the young woman's younger brother heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Brother brother-in-law, do you think you let us see it yourself, or did we help you take off your clothes?" ”

The bowl tinker was taken aback, hurriedly covered his clothes, waved his hand, and said, "This is unacceptable!" This is unacceptable! ”

The young woman's younger brother shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if you lie and talk all the time, but the marks on your body will never lie." Let's put the dishes and chopsticks aside and help my brother-in-law see if there are any black moles. ”

When those people heard this, they immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, and everyone stepped forward to hold the bowlmaker again.

One of them forcefully removed the tinker's pants.

A conspicuous hairy black mole came into everyone's eyes.

Everyone said: "Sure enough, there is a black mole!" ”

The young woman's younger brother said angrily: "Brother-in-law, look at it, what else do you have to deny!" ”

The tinker panicked when he heard the young woman say that he had a mole on his inner thigh. He knew for himself that he did have such a black mole, and the place where the young woman said it was.

He couldn't figure out why he looked so similar to that person, even the black mole on his body was in the same place!

At this point, he felt that there was no way to convince others that he was not that person.

He's confused himself, could it be that I'm the one?

But reason told him that he had never lived here.

At this time, don't say that it is difficult to argue, but change the angle and let yourself explain to yourself clearly.

As soon as the mole appeared, he knew that no matter how much he explained, no one would believe it.

After everyone finished eating, before they dispersed, they said to the young woman's family, "Be careful that he runs away at night." If you find him running, let us know and we'll help get him back. ”
