Chapter 56: My Family
Rui Xue waved her hand and motioned for them to sit down, then squatted in front of Da Zhuang and Kuroko, looked at them for a long time, and asked, "Why did you two admit your mistakes now, why didn't you stand up and tell the truth when Qingshan Niang and the clan elders questioned Brother Yu for falsely accusing Qingshan just now?" ”
Da Zhuang hung his head, his fingers tore at the corners of his clothes, and said sullenly, "My father and mother are good friends with Shi Niang on weekdays, if the two of us tell the truth, they should think that we are lying for our family again." ”
"Your own family?" Rui Xue nodded and smiled, "These three words are well said, at least the two of you still know the truth of one and one heart." The three of us are now doing business together, and in the eyes of the villagers, we are a group. If there are any conflicts or even fights between your children on weekdays, your parents and I will not be so angry, because they are all our own family. However, once someone outside wants to bully our own family, no matter how you don't like each other on weekdays, you must be consistent with the outside world.
Fortunately today, Brother Yu was not injured, if he was stabbed, or to put it seriously, he was killed, the conscience of the two of you will not be good for the rest of your life, just because of a small grudge in the usual, just sit back and watch your family being killed by outsiders, which really shouldn't be. ”
Da Zhuang and Kuroko's heads drooped lower and lower, almost lying on the ground, Rui Xue felt that the heat was almost over, so she helped them up, helped them pat the dust off their knees, and said, "Speaking of which, Brother Yu is also at fault in this matter, they all say that there is a cause and effect in the world, he usually ignores you, and he is not friendly at all, and you don't owe him anything, and it is normal to be unwilling to help, not to mention that Qingshan still has an iron knife in his hand, and everyone is afraid that it will bleed and hurt if he scratches his body."
Even if this matter is revealed, it is good that you can understand the truth from it and know the difference between inside and outside. ”
Da Zhuang and Kuroko both breathed a sigh of relief, felt much less guilty, nodded and saluted, turned around and went back to the house.
Wu Yu also heard Ruixue's words just now, and was staring at the door in a daze, when he saw Da Zhuang and Heizi coming in, he silently lowered his eyebrows and did not speak.
Da Zhuang and Heizi glanced at each other, walked up to him, and said with a slight embarrassment, "Brother Yu, today is the fault of the two of us, we will give you a salute to make amends, and if someone bullies you in the future, we will definitely help." ”
After speaking, the two of them saluted seriously, Wu Yu didn't seem to expect them to be like this, he was a little stunned, he woke up after a while, and hurriedly got out of the way, "Well, I'm also at fault..."
Da Zhuang and Kuroko saw that his face was red, his hands and feet were at a loss, he wanted to admit his mistake but didn't know how to say it, it was completely different from his usual proud and cold appearance, so he couldn't help laughing.
Erzhuang, Da Lu, together with Sanya and Niuniu, who didn't understand what was going on, heard the brothers laugh, and naturally they all giggled, Wu Yu was laughed and his face became redder, Da Zhuang and Heizi stepped forward and pulled him to sit down and eat again, and gradually talked about the things in the school.
The six adults in the hall heard the children laughing, and guessed that they must be together, and their hearts were very happy.
Sister-in-law Zhang scolded with a smile, "These hairy children, the wind and rain are really indefinite." ”
Rui Xue smiled and sandwiched a few pieces of braised pork for her and Cui Niang, "Brother Yu is also a strange temper, with Da Zhuang and Heizi playing with him, maybe he can become more gregarious in the future." ”
"I look at Brother Yu'er, I'm afraid he has a background, and his words and actions are different from ours peasant children." Cui Niang happily put the braised pork into her mouth, felt the salty and fragrant taste melt in her mouth, and squinted her eyes happily.
Rui Xue picked two thin ones for Zhao Fengnian, put them in his bowl, and said with a smile, "No matter how noble his identity was before, now he is also a displacement, you don't have to accommodate him, it will be good for him to see the facts one day earlier." We are just ordinary farmers, how can we pick him up and raise him as a young master. ”
Sister-in-law Zhang and Cui Niang nodded, and then talked about the new things in each village.
But in two quarters of an hour, Rui Xue saw that everyone had eaten almost, so she went into the house and took out the two red envelopes that had been prepared, and handed them to Sister-in-law Zhang and Cui Niang with a smile, "This is a red envelope for the New Year, but I want to give it to my sisters-in-law first, so that I can tear the cloth in advance to make new clothes for the children, or buy some good New Year's goods." ”
Zhang's sister-in-law did more than two months of work at the wharf, and received a monthly salary of 500 yuan, although it was not much, but the family food was saved by half, she ate in the shop at noon, and would bring some leftover dry food or leftovers back at night.
And Zhang Dahe got up early this month to help make tofu and received a salary of 800 Wen, the couple after the autumn harvest, not only earned back more than two taels of silver, but the children were also raised white and fat because of the improvement of food, their gratitude to Ruixue in their hearts is indescribable, I didn't expect to receive a red envelope today, pinch the hard pieces inside, enough to have one or two silver, which is too much.
The Gao family and their husband were also at a loss, they sold tofu for a month, and exchanged most of the cattle beans every day, but the copper money was very small, so when they received the hard-earned money of 900 Wen the day before yesterday, they felt that they did not earn much silver money for Ruixue, but took so much wages, and they were very unhappy in their hearts.
Zhang Dahe and Gao Fuquan also refused, they are all honest people, every winter they go to the city to do some short-term work or go up the mountain to hunt a few rabbits and pheasants, in exchange for one or two hundred dollars, and cut two catties of meat during the New Year, they are very satisfied.
This year, I followed the Zhao family to make tofu and sell tofu, and the income was several times that of previous years, and they were not tired, so they thought that this was already a great thing, how could they still be greedy to ask for more red envelopes.
Rui Xue feigned anger, resolutely stuffed the red envelope, and said angrily, "It's not that my sisters-in-law don't know, I'm the most greedy for money, if I didn't really earn money, how could I be willing to give you red envelopes?" Don't shirk it, take it all, without the help of your brothers and sisters-in-law, the shop and tofu business would not be so good, this is what you deserve. When business is better next year, this red envelope will definitely be heavier! ”
Sister-in-law Zhang and Cui Niang saw that Rui Xue was sincere in sending each other, so they accepted it, and secretly thought to themselves that they must work more dedicatedly in the future, and there is no more generous master than Rui Xue in this world.
After the meal was over, the men drank tea, the women cleaned up the table, Rui Xue divided the leftovers into two more portions, and asked Sister-in-law Zhang and Cui Niang to take them back, paste more cakes tomorrow morning, and the children's lunch will come out.
The two families said goodbye happily, and Wu Yu also followed Da Zhuang back to sleep.
Ruixue boiled hot water, sat on the edge of the kang with Zhao Fengnian and washed her feet, remembering the things of the day, she smiled and said, "On weekdays, she is angry with me, and her eyes are bigger than a cow, but today that shrew came to smash our house, why didn't I see you kill her with your eyes!" ”
A woman's careful thinking, usually the more people she cares about, the more willing she is to compare herself in his heart, if you find Feng Nian to understand this truth, just say, you are my wife, naturally different from her, and it will make Rui Xue happy. It's a pity that he didn't understand, but he was curious about how eyes could kill, so he asked, "Eyes kill?" But outland witchcraft? I have traveled through many cities in business, but I have not been to the Outlands? ”
Rui Xue was helpless, this was really a chicken and a duck, so she diverted from the conversation, "My family was arranged by me, and whoever destroys it, whether he is a man or a woman, he will be beaten hard." You didn't stop her because of the rules of etiquette, and she didn't show mercy to our subordinates. ”
Zhao Fengnian thought of the messy courtyard, and frowned, but still said, "She is a woman, how can I come forward and pull?" ”
"Then you just watch her smash our house to a pulp, the ground is full of wood and bluestone, just pick one up and throw it over. If I hadn't come back early today, I'm afraid the house wouldn't be inhabitable by now. As soon as her words fell, a cold wind coincidentally blew outside the window, and rushed into the house through the torn window paper, whimpering, blowing Zhao Fengnian shivered.
Rui Xue complained on her lips, where was she willing to let Zhao Fengnian suffer from the cold in her heart, she immediately wiped her feet, climbed on the kang, pulled her coat neatly, blocked it under the window, and tried that there was no more wind around her, so she was relieved.
Zhao Fengnian saw her series of movements, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and if he wanted to refute, the exit became, "Okay, next time I'll hit her with a bluestone." ”
Rui Xue originally just said it casually, but when she heard him agree, her mind automatically flashed that Zhao Fengnian was wearing a robe, polite, handsome, but carrying a green brick in her hand, chasing and smashing a village woman everywhere, it was really weird, she couldn't help laughing and fell on the kang, got up in the middle of the night, rubbed her stomach and said, "That's it, the shopkeeper is still suitable for being a gentleman, and I will do the work of smashing stones and shooting bricks." ”
Zhao Fengnian wiped his feet, moved the table on the kang, and said while grinding, "It's still early, why don't we make a list of damaged items, tomorrow Zhao Lao Er in the front yard will definitely come to the door, and then he will be given it directly to him." ”
"This is a good idea, dare to smash my things, I have to let her spit out some silver, it's best to feel sorry for her, next time even if our things are placed in the middle of the road, she will take a detour when she sees it." Rui Xue came to the table, dipped her pen in ink, and immediately wrote two clay jars and one or two silver.
Zhao Fengnian blinked, thought about it and asked, "The pottery jar is only three hundred hundred wen, why do you ask for one or two silver?" ”
Rui Xue raised her head and glared at him with disgust, "I bought the pottery jar from the set, and it doesn't cost money to hire a carriage to transport it, I brushed it more than a dozen times, and I don't pay for hard work..."
The more Zhao Fengnian listened, his eyes widened, and he was curious where Rui Xue heard the algorithm, but this time, he finally cleverly did not refute it out loud.
The two of them were next to each other, gathered in front of the oil lamp, writing and calculating, and occasionally quarreled with each other, but they were also happy. The north wind that was blocked out of the window, because he couldn't go into the house to go around, beat the window lattice in frustration, but the big jacket was really tightly blocked, so he continued to wander around...
