Chapter 4 I'll be optimistic about her
"I'll take care of her!" Ye Yuan, who had not spoken all this time, finally spoke, he looked at Fang Shi and said, "Mother, it's not a way for me to be outside all the time, so I just don't want to be a soldier, come back to farm, and take care of the family by the way." ”
"You're not going to be a soldier, so what's going on?" Most of all the expenses in the family came from Ye Yuan's bribes, especially Ye Feng, who was still studying, if he didn't go to the army, then where would this year's tuition come from.
"It's not a way to let your mother stay at home, I can also watch the stupid mother at home, she always goes out to get other people's things, causing trouble to the neighbors." Ye Yuan's tone was firm.
Fang Shi glanced at him, just the expression on his face could explain everything, he was not a person who spoke casually.
She didn't want to say anything in front of so many people, so she shut up for the time being, thinking that she would ask things more later.
"She won't take other people's things in the future, I will take good care of her." Ye Yuan repeated it again and said, "In the past, she made a mistake, and I apologized for everyone." ”
Ye Yuan bowed down and saluted like these people.
Liu Man'er stood behind him a little stupidly, she still hadn't figured it out, she thought that Ye Yuan would leave in a few days, she was still thinking about what to do in the future, what to do to improve her life, but she didn't expect him to say that he wanted to stay.
So what should she do next?
Although he looks like him, judging from his performance just now, his personality is completely different from him, and they are two completely different people.
So, how should she face him then? She couldn't imagine how two people she didn't love could share the same bed.
Thinking like this, her head began to hurt again, as if it was about to explode, Liu Man'er covered her head and sat down, and after the Fang clan on the opposite side noticed that something was wrong with her, she hurriedly walked over to help her.
Next, the villagers saw that there was no excitement, so they gradually retreated, and Liu Man'er had a headache, so she was supported by Ye He and went to the room to rest.
Ye He, the little girl, looked like she was seven or eight years old, her hair was yellow, and the sky was dark, but she didn't see what she looked like, but Liu Man'er felt that she seemed to be a little afraid of her.
Lying on the bed, tossing and turning, but I couldn't sleep, my stomach was rumbling, I didn't eat at night, and now I really can't stand it.
The headache was for a while, and gradually it didn't hurt, Liu Man'er estimated that Ye Yuan must be discussing something with the Fang family, she was lying on the bed, stretching her ears, she didn't think she could hear it, who knows, this Ye Yuan's voice with the Fang family was close to the eardrum.
"Yuan'er, are you crazy? If you are at home, where will our family's annual expenses come from? Where does Feng'er's tuition come from? Fang's voice was a little anxious, over the years, it was because of Ye Yuan's bribes as a soldier that this family could barely survive.
"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to get the tuition fee for the third brother." Ye Yuan made up his mind, "I can go hunting!" ”
"Hunting!" When Fang Shi heard this word, tears fell suddenly, and her voice choked: "You still dare to talk about hunting, have you forgotten how your father died?" Then I told you that no one can go hunting! ”
"I know, but ......" Ye Yuan's voice was very firm, "In short, mother, I will take good care of myself, over the years, I have also learned some in the army, and now, even if I see tigers and jackals again, I may not be able to help them!" ”
"And it's really not good to have no man in this family, the second brother is too young after all, I can not only protect you at home, but also look at the stupid mother, since I married her, I have to be responsible for her, I can't let her do anything wrong in this village again, over time, people who don't know, how do you think of our family? I thought our family style was like this! ”
Ye Yuan's words were a little heavy, Liu Man'er lay on the bed for a long time and didn't hear the sound, waited for a long time, and then wanted to listen, but she heard the sound of pushing the door, which sounded in her ears......
The candles in the house were lit, and Ye Yuan walked over.
Seeing Liu Man'er with wide eyes and a serious look lying on the bed, he was not surprised, and he didn't pay attention to her, found two stools to put together a long strip, and lay on it like this.
The spring is cold.
Liu Man'er was worried that he would catch a cold, and it was uncomfortable to lie on such a narrow stool.
Even though her own bed was uncomfortable because of the straw underneath it, and the smell of it, she felt a little better than the stool.
Thinking of the past, the soft and comfortable Simmons, and then thinking of the current bed, especially the dirty sheets that were made by the original owner, Liu Man'er felt that she couldn't sleep, so she simply got up from the bed.
"What are you doing?" Ye Yuan saw Liu Man'er suddenly get up from the bed, so he asked more.
"Burn the fire." Liu Man'er replied.
Ye Yuan asked again: "What are you doing with the fire?" ”
"Wash the quilt." Liu Man'er said and walked outside.
"Wash the cups?" Ye Yuan didn't hear clearly, but he was worried about what would happen to her, so he still followed her behind and walked outside.
But I saw her go to the kitchen, and then lit the kitchen lamp with a fire fold, and skillfully found the flint.
But learning from the appearance of the Fang clan on weekdays, no matter how to fight, this fire can't be beaten, Liu Man'er was a little discouraged, and handed the flint and steel to Ye Yuan, "You help me light this fire." ”
"What are you going to do?" Ye Yuan asked puzzled.
"Bathing, washing clothes, washing quilts." Fang Cai didn't feel it yet, but now Liu Man'er felt that her whole body was about to stick together.
The original owner has a bit of a problem with his brain, but he is not the master who loves cleanliness, and now that he is idle, Liu Man'er feels that the dirt on his body is at least three feet thick.
"Okay." Ye Yuan nodded, helped Liu Man'er light the fire, and then sat behind the stove to help her light the fire.
Liu Man'er opened the lid of the pot, and the pot was used to boil water, cook rice, and stir-fry vegetables at home.
Fang's is a person who loves to be clean, the house and the house are properly cleaned up, and at this moment, this pot has been cleaned by her.
Liu Man'er opened the water tank, scooped the water into the pot spoonful by spoonful, and boiled a full pot of water.
When Fang heard the movement in the kitchen, he walked over, "You two, what are you doing?" ”
"Oh, the stupid lady said she wanted to take a bath, so I'll make a fire for her." Ye Yuan raised his head, "Mother, go and rest." ”
When Fang saw Ye Yuan here, he was not afraid of what would happen, so he admonished, "Child, you pay more attention. ”
Ye Yuan nodded, and after the Fang clan left, Liu Man'er said, "I'm not stupid, can you stop calling me a stupid lady in the future?" If the people in the village call it that, forget it, so will you! ”
"You're not stupid?" Ye Yuan thought that she was indeed not particularly stupid, so he said, "Okay, in the future, I will also call you Man'er like my mother." ”
Liu Man'er smiled slightly, "Okay, can you go and pick up two loads of water for me?" I'm going to wash the quilt later, and I think the water may not be enough later. ”
"Here, will you be alone?" Ye Yuan had some doubts, looking at the fire in this stove, he was afraid that Liu Man'er would burn down the kitchen in the house if she was alone here.
But as he spoke, he turned around and went out, and after a while, he led Ye He to her, "Xiaohe, you come and help Man'er light the fire, watch her, and tell your mother if you have anything." ”
After some advice, Ye Yuan went out with a bucket.
After Ye He came, he didn't talk to Liu Man'er, and sat on the stove alone.
Liu Man'er saw that the little girl was cowardly and weak, so she remembered what the original owner did to the little girl, you said that the original owner was stupid, she was not stupid, and she also knew that she was bullying, and she didn't dare to bully Ye Qing Ye Feng at home on weekdays, so she specially bullied Ye He and her younger brother Ye Fusheng, and instructed them to help them do things for themselves.
Even, from time to time, I beat them and robbed them of their things.
Liu Man'er thinks about it now, she feels a little burned, looking at Ye He next to the stove, her face red by the firelight, she wants to say sorry, but she doesn't know where to start.
"Thank you." In the end, Liu Man'er said something like this dryly, she must make up for this girl in the future.
Ye He heard her thanks, but he just looked up at her, and then lowered his head and continued to burn the fire, after all, who knows, who learned the words from today? Ye He didn't believe that Liu Man'er would really thank her.
Liu Man'er didn't care about Ye He's attitude, she turned around and went back to the room to look for clothes, but after rummaging through the tattered cabinet and smelling it, there was no good clothes, and there was a strange smell on them.
I barely found a decent set of clothes under the box, it looked quite new, it seemed that during the Chinese New Year last year, Ye Yuan asked someone to bring some money, and then the Fang family made new clothes for her.
It seems that the original owner is not stupid, and he knows to hide his new clothes.
Liu Man'er decided to wear this set, and she took out all the other tattered clothes, planning to wash them all.
Anyway, there aren't many clothes from the original owner, just a few sets from winter to summer.
She took out the bedding and blankets again, and she was determined to wash them all today.
These things were piled up in the yard to form a small mountain.
Ye Yuan came back with water, and when he saw that she was picking up these things, he stopped and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?" ”
"Find clothes." Liu Man'er replied.
If it is a normal person, it may be a little strange to do such behavior, but she is just a person with some problems in the brain, so it is not difficult to explain all this.
Let him be.
Ye Yuan thought that as long as these didn't cause trouble to the neighbors, he would go with her.
It was Fang's family, who came out to take a look at the child again.
Hearing Ye Yuan say leave it alone, she didn't care either, for a person with a bit of a problem with IQ, people are always much more tolerant.
Seeing that no one cared about her behavior, Liu Man'er finally breathed a sigh of relief, she was still thinking about how to explain it to them just now, who knows, no one asked her why she did this.
