Chapter 7: The Hero Who Fights Wolves
"Really? You said very clearly, it is your grandmother, not my grandmother, and you are filial if you want to be filial, why don't you catch the wolf for filial piety, but take the wolf skin I caught for filial piety? ”
This is a complete stop to eat, "you, you, you ......" for a long time, stomping "You are not filial!" ”
In this society, unfilial piety is the heaviest condemnation, after Wen Cai finished speaking, he immediately felt that he had the upper hand, glanced at Wen Jin, turned his head and ran.
The second uncle was over there for only a quarter of an hour, and when he came back, his face was not good-looking, Wen Jin went into the house to rest, where can the broken grass house be soundproofed? The second uncle complained to Wei Shi in a low voice: "Aunt is really, she is angry with a child, she has to take away the wolf skin, even if Wen Jin eats us, it is also the third child, she doesn't give it, how can I force it?" ”
"Don't say that, Wen Jin and Wen Han go to the mountains every day, half of the rice and noodles at home are earned by her, and now, we only have her light, and there are no children to eat our words."
"Wen Jin is so promising?"
"Alas, you don't know how strong this kid is, every day there are as many mountain goods as Wen Han carries back, Wen Han's shoulders are worn out, red and swollen, and the flesh and blood are blurred, she must be even more powerful, probably afraid that I will not be allowed to go up the mountain, and I will not be allowed to see it alive or dead. When I think about this, I feel distressed. ”
"Huh? Wen Jin was pressed by the He family before, and he didn't make a sound all day long, I really didn't expect it. ”
Seeing the man's surprised look, Wei sighed: "I refuse to give up the wolf skin, I am afraid that she will lose a lot of filial piety, I wanted to say a few words, but when I thought of the hardships that the child suffered, I couldn't give up." Even if it's Lord Yama, you should understand. Alas, no matter what, we have to teach the child well, and when I have time, I still have to reason with her. ”
"Uh-huh, yes."
The second uncle and his wife did not regard themselves as outsiders, Wen Jin was very moved, but they did not approve of their foolishness and filial piety.
Old Jiao's failed to get the wolf's skin, it was she who entered the Qian family for decades, the first time the plot was unsuccessful, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she almost didn't eat dinner, the next morning, she lay on the bed and said that her heart hurt, Jiao went to ask for a doctor, and complained to people everywhere all the way, saying that Wen Jin made her mother-in-law angry.
"I've never seen such a ruthless child, I didn't split up a few years ago, her family didn't live for nothing on our side, and now the old man wants to make a wolf skin, but he doesn't give it, and he has a black heart."
Many people, especially women who like gossip, do not analyze whether what the other party says is in line with the truth, not only reprint the original words, but sometimes echo them, adding some of their own conjectures and feelings, Wen Jin's reputation was ruined all of a sudden.
Wen Jin didn't know these at all, there were no wolves in the front mountain, and the men, women, and children in the town were all active all of a sudden, and a large group of people got up early and went to the mountain in the dark, and within a few days, the mountain goods in Xigang were all picked up. At the end of the day, Wen Jin often couldn't even pretend to be dissatisfied with the basket.
The best time for picking has passed, and many of the fruits on the tree have fallen and quickly rotted and deteriorated on the ground. Seeing such a scene, people inevitably beat their chests and sighed, hating the wolf for delaying things, some people occasionally praise Wen Jin two sentences, most of them don't answer when they hear it, unfilial people, even if they do good things, they don't dare to enjoy people's gratitude.
Seeing that the effect was as good as he imagined, Lao Jiao finally became happy, and his whole body was neatly dressed, sitting at the gate basking in the sun, occasionally beating his knees, and shouting "oooh" in pain, as if the wolf skin was not sent, she would not be able to live this day.
The person concerned is always the last person to hear the rumors, after Webster knows, she was surprised, she was worried for a long time, and when it was dark, the people who drove the mountain returned home, and after dinner, she quietly told the man about it.
"What do you think of this? With a reputation for unfilial piety, this kid won't want to be a man in the future. ”
"Otherwise, give the wolf skin to your aunt when it is cooked, so that Wen Jin's reputation can not only be recovered, but it will be even better."
"That's it." Merriam-Webster frowned and nodded bitterly.
If you cook a skin, you have to get 200 yuan, and a man and his son and nephew can't earn that much in a day, and she doesn't have this money in hand now.
Maybe it was a psychological trick, Wen Jin got up the next morning, and when she was eating, she felt that Wei Shi was looking at the wolf skin frequently, so she asked: "Has anyone come to collect the wolf skin?" ”
"Oh, no, my aunt is going to send it to the yellow tanner in the west of the town to cook it."
"What does the spirit of Fena do? After a while, the collector came, and it was not easy to sell. The craftsmanship of the yellow tanners is not very good. Wen Jin said with a smile.
The second uncle gave his wife a look, and the two didn't talk again.
After eating enough and going on the road, the second uncle saw that Wen Jin was in a good mood, so he told the rumors in the town and the plan to give the skin to the long house.
"Wen Jin, it's just a wolf's skin, if you have a reputation for unfilial piety, your life will be ruined, and when you grow up in the future, you won't be able to hold your head up in front of people, how can you live?"
When Wen Jin heard this, his lungs were about to explode, as long as he used his brain, he would know where the rumors came from, the old Jiao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were vicious.
"No, uncle, I don't think I've done anything wrong, if I change my original intention because of a few gossips from others, wouldn't it become a soft bone without commitment? How can you cope with the setbacks and ups and downs in your life in the future? The rumors stop at the wise, whether I am filial or not, the days to come are still long, and I will naturally be able to see. You don't have to worry about it, wolfskin, and you don't give it away. ”
"You kid, why are you so tough?" The second uncle is really angry, the education he received is to be a junior, unconditionally obey the elders, Wen Jin's fierce performance is Hongguoguo's unfilial piety, big unfilial piety.
Seeing this, Wen Han hurriedly pulled Wen Jin's clothes, and the two of them rushed to the mountain together, and their current relationship is really closer than that of their brothers and sisters.
"Uncle, what if you are right? Obviously right, for the sake of a false name, do you have to listen to the wrong words of the old man? Wen Jin remembered such a description in the ancient text, but unfortunately she couldn't remember what she said in her head.
Alas, why didn't you study ancient Chinese in your last life, but study science and engineering? She was very annoyed in her heart, but the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't remember.
The uncle had a calm face, and no longer talked to Li Wenjin, he felt in his heart that this child was unteachable, if it weren't for the public, he would have hit it.
Although his wife said that he would raise his nephew as his own son, he still couldn't treat him exactly the same, Lao Tzu slapped his son a few times, this society is commonplace, no one criticizes, but if he slaps his nephew a few times, this nephew has no father or mother, and others will misunderstand. He was a man of great fame, and he couldn't do such a thing.
The three of them spent a day in silence and awkwardness, with fewer mountain goods, a busy day, each person's back basket, only more than half, and they couldn't resist the harvest of the two in the past, Wen Jin's mood couldn't get better, she was very worried about how to spend this winter.
Returning to the town in a dreary state, he heard someone shouting from afar: "Come back, the hero who fought the wolf is back." Then, the suona sounded, and the song was a cheerful "step by step".
A large group of people ran out of the town: "Xiao Xiucai, the county lord commended your brothers, sent officials, and sent a plaque." ”
Wen Han is a child after all, he suddenly looked happy, and ran forward with the basket on his back, Wen Jin hurriedly looked unwilling to lag behind, and ran forward, otherwise, she would not be like a child.
It was the king of the county who came, and the second uncle caught up, took down the two children's baskets, helped them pat the soil off their bodies, led them in front, and saluted the master book.
"Hurry up, how can the lower officials be worthy of the gift of the little hero." Master Wang smiled happily and pulled up Qian Xiancheng, "Brother Qian Wenhan and Qian Wenjin, at a young age, wise and brave, and eliminating harm for the people, this credit must be attributed to Mr. Qian's teaching son!" ”
"Where, where!" The second uncle said modest words in his mouth, his expression was sincere and frightened, but his waist couldn't help but straighten, and Wen Jin just wanted to laugh when he looked at it behind his back.
"Come on, hang up the plaque-" Wang Zhushu announced loudly, "Qian Wenhan, a resident of our county, bravely fights evil wolves, eliminates harm for the people, and awards a plaque of 'wisdom and bravery', and eight hundred catties of fine grain-" His tail note dragged on for a long time, full of momentum, and the suona that had just stopped was blown again, in the envious eyes of people, several people Zhuang carried the burden into the chaimen of the Qian family, the neighbors moved the table, stacked up and down, and two flexible Minzhuang jumped up, nailed a few big nails in the middle of the chaimen, and hung up the plaque.
The sound of suona stopped, and the second uncle hurriedly smiled all over his face, and invited the king and the servants to come into the house to drink tea.
There are problems with eating, where is there any tea? Wen Jin reacted quickly, took out the walnut chestnuts picked up, crushed them, boiled them into a paste, and served a bowl for each person.
When Wen Jin was busy in the kitchen, Wen Han quietly ran to the opposite house and borrowed a small basket of porcelain bowls, otherwise, there would not even be utensils to hold them.
"Oops, what kind of tea is this? It tastes so good! ”
Wang Zhushu praised loudly, Qian Xiancheng was worried in his heart, and when he heard such a sentence, he was carried away with joy, but unfortunately he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what kind of tea it should be called.
"This is called walnut and chestnut paste, if Lord Wang likes it, Xiaomin will send some of the finished ones over in a few days, please taste them." Now the season has not yet arrived, and this year's new paste has not yet been made. Wen Jin hurriedly interjected.
"Oh——, no, no, Xia Guan has never drunk such a delicious tea, so I praise it, ah, it's delicious, it's delicious."
Fortunately, there was still one in the pot, and Wen Jin and Wei quickly helped the person who finished drinking another bowl.
After drinking it later, looking at the empty pot, I secretly regretted it in my heart, but I didn't dare to say anything, Minzhuang, that is, the strong men drawn from the village, they only have the life to work, and they are lucky, they can eat and drink for nothing.
