Chapter 295: Visiting the Door (2nd Watch)
Zhao still can't pull this face, when she was a good year, she enjoyed happiness in her mother's house, and when she couldn't eat, she went back to Dongshan Village on the pole. She just can't do it! But my mother's family has indeed reached the point of exhaustion, and I have been drinking thin for a few days, and Doudou is looking thin. She, a mother, can eat less, but she is really distressed when she sees her well-behaved and lovely son's yellow-skinned and listless appearance.
When she was struggling with whether to meet Dongshan Village, she returned from Fucheng after the aftermath. Yu Bo saw that his son, who was originally white and chubby, was now thin and had a pointed chin, so he immediately asked the mother and mother to pack up their burdens and take them back to Dongshan Village. The little maid who served Doudou was sold by the talented lady as early as the disaster year. My family has nothing to eat, how can I have spare food to feed irrelevant people?
When the three members of Yubo's family returned to Dongshan Village, Zhao learned that his mother-in-law had separated from his father-in-law, and secretly scolded his mother-in-law for not knowing how to enjoy it. If the father-in-law is here, the second brother's ten taels of silver a month is enough for the family to buy food to eat. It's good now, there's nothing left, and the two families are still like enemies, and they don't interact with each other.
When Zhang saw that his youngest son's family had returned, he was so happy that he killed the only hen in the pen. There is no food to feed, chickens don't like to lay eggs, and it is better to kill them and stew soup for their sons and grandchildren to make up for it! She also grabbed a handful of white rice that she treasured at home and made porridge for her precious grandson.
Chicken soup and rice porridge, only Yu Bo and Doudou have a share, and the others can only watch dryly. Li Shi was not happy anymore, and said in a loud voice: "My man goes out to sea to fish every day in the wind and rain, and the money in exchange for the money to support the family, why can't our husband and wife eat?" Eccentricity is not so biased, if you feel sorry for your youngest son, let's split up! Mother, you live with your youngest son! ”
Zhang was so angry that he moved the basket of coarse grain cakes, looked at Li viciously, and said: "You are a stirrass, you are holding your man's private money, and at least half of the money from fishing and selling every day is deducted, don't think I don't know!" It's a lazy thing to make, and he sleeps until three o'clock a day, and eats more than anyone else when he eats. Want to split up? Okay! You three get out of here! ”
"If you split up, you have to score fairly! When Yu Hai was divided, he also divided a few dilapidated houses. Why don't we divide the house when we divide the house? Mother, the mountain also came out of your belly, you can't be biased towards the third child! "The Li family is not as easy to talk as the Liu family, and if you want to kick them out, there is no door!
Zhang didn't mess around with her, stared at his eldest son and asked, "Dashan, what do you mean?" Thinking about going out too? ”
Yu Dashan has always been used to being oppressed by this mother, seeing that she looked at herself with anger in her eyes, her mouth moved, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to let go of a fart. Li was so angry that he twisted his arm hard.
Yu Dashan plucked up his courage and said, "Mother, it is your duty to raise your son." But with my little brother's family, I don't have that ability! And you are too partial, everything is close to the younger brother's family, my sunspot is also your own grandson, I go to the dock to work so hard every day, and I haven't seen you make something delicious to make up for him......"
When Zhang heard this, this honest son was also distracted from her, thinking that if the eldest son really broke up in the future, she would be an old lady who was half-cut into the ground, how could she provide the younger son with a study and scientific examination.
Zhang cried out in tears: "O mountain! I raised you from the ground up, and in the most difficult time, my mother never had the idea of throwing you away. Now that you're older and your wings are stiff, you're ready to leave your mother alone, right? ”
"Mother, I didn't care about you......" Yu Dashan is still a filial son, and he said busily.
Zhang patted his legs, sniffed, and said, "Then what do you mean?" Your little brother is short of food and drink in Fucheng, and he has become thin into a handful of bones. There is also Xiaodoudou, a child who used to be white and tender, but now he is so thin that he doesn't have a few taels of meat. They are your own brother and nephew, and you still give their opinions? ”
Yu Dashan glanced at his little brother who had lost a lot of weight and the little nephew who was so frightened that he got into the arms of his younger brother and sister, and lowered his head with shame.
Seeing that his son had remorse, Zhang struck while the iron was hot and said: "In the spring of next year, your little brother will participate in the scientific examination." After winning the show, he immediately participated in the Autumn Festival, and the Autumn Festival passed, and he was the master of the people. The lord can donate to the official......"
"Mother, I won't donate officials, I want to rely on my true skills to pass the test and the palace test, and I dare not guarantee that I can at least come back in the top three. The top three are born in the same jinshi, and the imperial court is for sending officials! Aftermath said confidently.
When Zhang heard his youngest son say this, he immediately smiled and said, "Yes!" My son is just ambitious! You should study at home these days, and you can't be discouraged! ”
Yu Bo hesitated for a moment and asked, "I heard...... The stone of the second brother's family will also participate in the children's test next year. I wonder if it's true? ”
Zhang pouted and said, "Who knows!" Just the playful appearance of Xiaoshi's crazy play every day, he is blind when he takes the exam! ”
Yu Bo nodded in agreement and said, "How many years have the stone been studying?" If you can't read a few big characters, let him take the exam. The second brother is too much of a joke about the scientific examination, right? Pulling out the seedlings will ruin the stones! ”
"Let's take care of that side of things! He loves it! Seeing that the "Prince of Jing" had gone back, Zhang had not seen Lao Yutou come to reply to her, and he was even more resentful of Lao Yutou and Yu Hai in his heart. But after all, she has the handle in the hands of others, and she doesn't dare to make trouble, so she can only act as if the old house does not exist!
Li listened to Uncle Xiao's confident words, and hesitated again. Her man has been reading books for her uncle for so many years, and she finally saw the dawn of hope. No way! If you don't divide your family, you will have to pass next spring. If the uncle had been admitted, she would have never mentioned it; If she didn't get in, don't blame her Li Guihua for not being emotional. She just made trouble with the county government, and she also wanted to divide the family fairly!
After dinner, Yu Bo's family of three returned to their room. Zhao played a fan for his son, who slept soundly on his small belly. The appearance of her son drinking porridge and gnawing on chicken legs made her very sad. The two of them haven't had a full meal for a long time.
"Dad, do you want to go to the old mansion to see Ming'er? Although your father-in-law and mother-in-law are divorced, your father-in-law is your father after all. If you don't go to see him this time, what will the people in the village say? Zhao thought about it, it was better to have a good relationship with the old mansion. Zhang's stupid mother-in-law can't be helped, after all, her father-in-law is a blood relative over there, and she still has tendons when she breaks her bones!
Yu Bo didn't have any ill feelings towards the second brother. When the second brother went out of the house, he was still upset for the second brother in his heart. But his mother's temper is very clear to him, and it is useless for him to persuade him. As for the reason why his father and his mother divorced, he was really speechless. Unexpectedly, my mother was so ruthless that she watched her father wait for death, but she was reluctant to spend money to see him. His mother-in-law wished that she was dead and that there would be no one to eat, and if it was his turn, she would have to give her righteousness. Not to mention that all the money in the house was left to the mother-in-law, and even a child would not let her take it away...... Dad has done this, and he has done his best.
Hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Yu Bo was extremely glad that the daughter-in-law he married was reasonable, nodded and looked at Zhao with a smile, and said, "Well, Ming'er, I'll take Doudou to ask my father for peace." Do you think there's anything else you can do at home? After all, I haven't been at home for nearly half a year, and it's a bit inappropriate to go to see my dad empty-handed. ”
Zhao took out a piece of dark gray material from the bottom of the box, this piece of material was originally planned to make clothes for her father, in order to have a good relationship with the old house, she gritted her teeth and took it out: "You can take this piece of material!" We don't have any good things in our family, and everything we can do is pretty much it! ”
Yu Bo knew that in the past six months, his daughter-in-law had eaten and lived in her father-in-law's house, but she didn't pay a penny. It is not easy for the old man's family, he took a piece of broken silver weighing one or two from the burden, put it in Zhao's hand, and said: "This silver is saved by my Fucheng Province for frugality, you take it to your mother-in-law." You can't make your father-in-law and mother-in-law hungry because of you two. ”
Zhao was very moved, her eyes were red, she carefully put away the silver, and said in a low voice: "Originally, I planned to take my dowry as a few pieces in two days to help my father and mother get through the difficulties." With this silver, saving food is enough for my father and mother to eat for half a month. Thank you, Dad! ”
"Family, what do you say thank you for? My father-in-law and mother-in-law have also helped us over the years. To be a human being, you should have a conscience, right? Yu Bo took his daughter-in-law's slightly rough hand. After the little girl was sold, the Zhao family had to do everything by himself, and because he couldn't eat enough, he looked a lot haggard. However, it adds a bit of a touching attitude......
Early the next morning, Yu Bo took his wife and children and walked slowly towards the west end of the village. His long shirt is very conspicuous in the village. The villagers who were chattering under the tree greeted him when they saw him: "Yo, isn't this the youngest son of the Lao Yu family?" Coming back from Fucheng? ”
"This is Doudou, it's all so big. What a big couple of years to come! ”
"This is to see your father, right? Xiaobo is still quite filial! ”
……
Yu Bo smiled and greeted the uncle and aunt in the same village politely. Zhao asked his youngest son to call "grandpa" and "grandma". The villagers praised the aftermath for being promising, and Doudou was polite......
After passing through the entire Dongshan Village, a family of three came to the foot of the West Mountain. From a distance, you can see the tall courtyard wall of the Yu family's old house and the door of the blue bricks and red tiles. Zhao bent down to his son with envy and said, "Doudou, look! That's the second uncle's house!! Do you remember Brother Stone and Sister Xiaocao? You'll be able to meet them soon. ”
Doudou blinked his big eyes and said glutinously: "Remember Sister Xiaocao, the fish soup she boiled is delicious!" "Say, smash it, smash it, smash it, smash it.
Zhao smiled a little bitterly, nodded his little nose, and said, "You, you're really a snack!" ”
