57. Home is with you
Although Widow Liu didn't like me, I rarely disobeyed her on weekdays, and today in front of everyone was tantamount to refuting her face, and I immediately felt that the atmosphere became solemn and depressing. [But there are still people who fall into the well at this time, and Xing'er softly seems to be persuading: "Aunt Qing, since my sister is so filial, then don't keep my brother-in-law, so as not to make it difficult for my sister.] ”
Xiaotong frowned when he heard this, and replied unceremoniously: "Who is your brother-in-law?" ”
Xing'er was not angry, and said to Xiaotong with a smile: "You are Brother Ping's brother-in-law, so naturally it is time to call your brother-in-law." ”
A sneer came, it was Ah Niu who didn't open his mouth after entering the door, he looked at me sarcastically and said, "Alain, you really don't marry well." As soon as these words came out, Widow Liu's expression turned grim, and her eyes became extremely sharp, "This little brother, you can eat and talk nonsense, but you can't talk nonsense, what does it mean that she is really not good at marrying?" ”
In terms of momentum alone, Liu Widow directly overwhelmed Ah Niu, making Ah Niu's eyes shrink backwards, but in an instant, she said unwillingly: "She has only been married for half a year, but she has been replaced by a bride, and she has been reduced to a lower cousin." I knew that there was today, I shouldn't have married in the first place, and I ......" A figure pounced up, and a fist slashed the words behind him.
It's Ah Ping! After three months, instead of him riding Ah Niu under him, his fist rained down on Ah Niu's face. Xing'er kept exclaiming on the side, shouting "Brother Ping be careful" again and again, and the widow Liu stepped forward calmly.
I was the only one who watched the farce in front of me motionlessly, feeling a little sad and ironic in my heart.
Xiaotong came to see me at a loss, he was a little frightened, and he didn't know how to face the current situation. I sighed and whispered, "Follow me." He took his arm and walked out of the house, turned left and walked towards the entrance of the village.
"Sister?" Xiao Tong called behind me uncertainly, and when he saw me turn his head, he asked hesitantly, "Are you okay?" ”
I shook my head, "I'm fine. ”
"That'...... We don't care about Brother Niu, right? ”
"No matter."
As soon as I got out of the village, I let go of his arm and walked in front of him, and he followed closely. After walking a cup of tea, I heard the sound of wheezing behind me, and I was stunned, ignoring that this child was weak and should not walk too fast.
So I slowed down and asked him to come up with me, and listened to him ask, "Shall we go back now?" ”
"Well, I'll send you back." There is a ten-mile road from Ginkgo Village to Batou Village, and if no one takes care of him, he will definitely not be at ease to go back alone. After walking all the way, Xiaotong asked me: "Sister, did I do something wrong?" ”
I turned my head to look at him, "What's wrong?" ”
"I wanted to come to you, but A-Niang didn't let me, and then I asked Brother Aniu to take me out. But Brother Niu didn't seem to be quite right just now, and I couldn't say it, so I felt that he was not good for you. ”
Xiaotong is fifteen years old, and he may not understand the big truths that people's hearts are fickle, but he will judge one thing instinctively. I didn't teach him the so-called sinister human heart, but said, "Forget it, you can't do this in the future." If A-Niang knows that you sneak out and you are going to die at home, let's hurry up. ”
In the end, Xiaotong's physique is not as good as Ah Ping, and he came from home with Ah Niu early in the morning and went back non-stop, so he was out of breath and flushed when he was halfway there. I immediately took him to the river to drink, and I did not dare to urge him to continue on his way. He only waited for him to rest enough before he went on the road again, and he stopped and walked like this, and when he almost arrived at Batou Village, the sun above his head was already westerly.
Seeing the image of the woman working in the crop field from a distance, she couldn't help sighing, this posture was Xiaotong who didn't notice it for a day after she left home? I patted Xiaotong on the shoulder, "Let's go back." ”
He turned around, "Sister, aren't you going home?" ”
"I'll go back." Pointing behind his head, he said, "I'm leaving, and I guess it's going to be dark when I get home." Pretending to wave his hand and turn around, he shouted: "Go back quickly, don't run out alone next time." ”
After walking more than ten steps, I heard Xiaotong shouting from behind: "You will definitely be scolded when you go back." ”
Grinning at the corners of his mouth, isn't it as simple as scolding? There's a mess left there. didn't look back, and walked away from the entrance of Batou Village step by step. After walking ten miles in a row and then returning, in fact, my legs were a little sore, and I didn't stop thinking about walking as much as possible and resting.
Accidentally kicked a rock, and the foot stumbled forward and fell. My knees hit the road, a heart-wrenching pain, a pair of feet appeared in sight, I raised my head, the long figure in the backlight was very handsome, but I was quiet for a moment and my eyes drooped again.
Trying to get up, I found that Luo's skirt was torn, and there were faint traces of blood.
Suddenly squatted down on the shoulders and backs of the body, and the long arms reached back to grab my back, I grabbed the other party's hand and blocked it slightly, and he turned his head back and looked at me aggrievedly. The soft-heartedness is not because of the small eyes, but because of the beads of sweat rolling on his sideburns.
Silently climbed onto his back, wrapped his hands around his neck, and grabbed the hem of his shirt slightly as he got up.
Mo walked for a while before I asked, "Why didn't you come out earlier?" ”
Think you're hiding it well? When I was resting and drinking water by the river with Xiaotong, I saw him hiding aside, walking and stopping behind and waiting for him to catch up, but after a few casual looks, I saw that he was slowly following a long distance away, not even covering up.
I was so angry and funny, are you following me or what are you trying to do?
I thought he was bored again this time, but after a slight pause, he replied in a low voice: "I don't want to come out." ”
Ah, I had a fight with someone, and I still have a temper? I asked in a different way, "Who did you win with him?" This time he replied quickly and firmly: "Of course it is me." ”
"Oh? Tell me, how did you beat him up after I was gone? ”
He stopped and rolled his eyes, "You feel sorry for him?" ”
I slapped him on the head and raised an eyebrow, "Which eye sees me distressed?" "He took off a hand to rub his head, causing me to slide off his back, and I instinctively rubbed his neck to prevent myself from falling.
But I saw that the corners of his mouth were raised, and the bottom of his eyes revealed a little pride, he did it on purpose.
When I continued to move forward, the boredom in my heart seemed to fade, and I was ...... I was a little angry when I pulled Xiaotong and left the mess, because when Xing'er took Xiaotong and Ah Niu into the door, I could already predict what might happen next, and I tried my best to prevent and avoid this possibility, but with Ah Ping's fist out, everything was zero.
But I wasn't really angry with Ah Ping, and the punch he threw at that time was even what I wanted to do, but he acted on behalf of my anger. I am angry that the calm of hard work will add to the turmoil when this fist goes out; I'm angry that there may have been a long tug-of-war with Widow Liu, but now it's over.
Others become demons with one thought and become a Buddha with one thought, and to me, this is a fist, and the efforts of this time are in vain.
But at this point, it's better to know more about the actual situation than to sigh. Scratching his ear, "Eh, tell me about the rest of the story." "I had to know what to do in hindsight before I could think about what to do next.
Ah Ping told the story of the aftermath according to his usual simple way of speaking and guessing halfway without knowing the way.
The fight ended with Ah Ping's big victory, and Ah Niu's whereabouts are unknown. The reason why it is unknown is because Ah Ping looked up and found that I was gone, so he spread his hand and got up and ran out to chase me.
Therefore, I think it is not reliable to understand the future development of events from him. However, I have been sweetened.
He threw that fist for me, and when he looked up and found that I was gone, it was me who got up and came looking for me, so what reason was there to blame him for blaming him? tightened his arms, rested his head on his shoulders, and whispered: "Ah Ping, in fact, Xing'er is very good, she can not only be a housekeeper but also loved by your mother, and she can also make a lot of pastries, manual work and meticulousness, you two will be good without me in the future." ”
"Nonsense." Ah Pinglu was unhappy.
I laughed: "It's not nonsense, when I get home, I guess your mother will give me a letter of resignation." If it weren't for you, I'd be thinking about whether to go back. ”
Ah Ping took two steps and said something that touched me: "You are home." ”
I stared intently at his face, I had been married to him for more than half a year, and I had been dangling in front of my eyes, but at this moment, compared with the first time I saw him in my memory, his outline was much deeper, and his eyebrows and eyes had faded childishly. My Ah Ping inadvertently changed from a teenager to a man, and he became more and more good-looking and handsome.
He said, "I am home." It really didn't seem like a sentence he would say, but when I thought about it, I felt that he was the only one who would say it so bluntly. I'm ashamed that when I was talking about Xing'er Haohao just now, I was actually talking back, and I was also seeking a way out for myself.
Because the only person I can really rely on in this family is him, I have always made it clear that the person who married me is Ah Ping, not Liu Widow and Woman, so I can ignore Liu Widow and Woman's preferences, but I must master Ah Ping's preferences. I also used this half a year to infiltrate little by little, indulge his dependence on me, and expand his habits to me, only in this way can I have the capital to leave without fear today, and use words to induce him afterwards.
It's not that I have to calculate Ah Ping like this, in fact, I would prefer to be able to live with him simply. But since I have my heart for him, I have to pave the way for our future, it is an indisputable fact that Widow Liu is his mother, but it is impossible for me to really break with Ah Ping. But I don't want to go with the flow and everything is welcomed, and even the bottom line has retreated to nothing, such as taking a concubine, so I can only start from Ah Ping.
However, even if it is the cause of my planting, and now Ah Ping's words are the fruit that should have been, I am still touched.
