Chapter 28: Repentance
Erbao and Sanbao had already cried loudly when Zhou Pozi beat Bu Linglong, and they cried vigorously in their mouths: "Mother, don't beat my mother." Don't hit my mother."
Dabao didn't have any previous worries at this time, his face was full of sadness, he was very worried, his lips were squirming, he didn't look carefully, he didn't listen carefully, he didn't know what he was talking about, in fact, he was also calling his mother.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
"...... Uproar"
All the sounds stopped abruptly, and Bu Linglong turned over the root of the spitting water, picked him up and stuffed him into Su Fangru's arms.
Su Fangru looked at the child in his arms who had opened his eyes, and the whole person was stunned, this is ...... Is this alive, is his son okay?
Genzi was still very weak at this time, and when he saw his father looking at him stupidly, he had to speak up, and weakly called him "Dad." ”
Bu Linglong pushed away Su Fangfu, the second son of the village chief's family, squatted in front of Erbao and Sanbao, and reached out to gently wipe away the tears on the faces of the two cubs with his hand, "Okay, don't cry, my mother is fine." Mother has nothing to do. ”
Old Mrs. Lin hurriedly pushed away Su Rou, the little girl of the village chief's family who was blocking her, stumbled towards Bu Linglong, grabbed her arm, and asked worriedly, "Linglong, how is it?" If there is anything uncomfortable, we will go to the doctor. ”
"Mother, I'm fine, let's go back." Bu Linglong squeezed Mrs. Lin's hand and patted the back of her hand soothingly.
"Okay, go home, go home." Mrs. Lin is now feeling palpitations, and only by going home can she truly soothe her restless heart.
After experiencing Dabao being beaten by the village chief's family, he followed her closely every step at this time, like a little tail of her.
Bu Linglong touched his little head: "I'm fine, don't worry." ”
Bu Linglong and Mrs. Lin returned to the riverbank, put the pig that had been thrown aside into the water, washed it again, and then went home.
The faces of the village parents are now blushing, and they are not risking their lives to save their children, and when they are rescued, they help to save the children, but they go up to beat and scold them without asking.
When something happened, many villagers had already come over, and they could all see it.
Although they can understand the behavior of the village parents, there are still many people who frown, feeling that the people in the village chief's family do not know what to do.
"Village chief, you have to talk about this matter when you go back, and say, it's already good for people to help save the roots from the water, and you come up and punch and kick people, and even yell and scold, if something happens to anyone in the future, who dares to help." A few people really couldn't watch it, and said a few words out loud, although they could understand it, but the mood was really bad when they looked at it.
"It's ours or not, I'll talk about it. It will also pay compensation to the Hansong family. The village chief looked at everyone with an embarrassed face, everything in the past has lost a lot of face because of today's incident, and there is still a month to run for the new village chief, he was worried about this matter, but the result is good, I am afraid that this time he will not be able to be re-elected.
"Who knows if it was her baby who pushed our family roots." Mrs. Zhou jumped out dissatisfied, ignoring everyone's looks, blaming the Hansong family and the children of the Hansong family.
"Mrs. Zhou, you have to speak with your conscience, there are so many children here, just ask what happened." Mrs. Zhou is really stingy, and she doesn't look at how many children are at the scene, so it is difficult to buy all the children.
"Dog, what is going on with you?"
When asked, the dog left 1510 and told what happened: "We and Genzi were originally catching small fish and shrimp by the shallow river, and then Dabao and they passed by, so I asked them to play together, and Aunt Su agreed." ”
"And let us not go to the deep place to play, if there is something to call her, we are very obedient, we have been playing in the shallow water, later, Genzi saw a big fish in the deep water, he wanted to catch it, we persuaded him, he did not listen."
"He didn't stand up as soon as he stepped on the air, I saw that the situation was wrong and hurried to inform you." The dog scratched his head after speaking.
The villagers now despise the village chief's family even more, and Mrs. Zhou still wants to quibble, but she is stopped by the village chief's sharp eyes, "It's not shameful enough, give me back." ”
Su Fangru and his family were also panicked, and walked away with the child in their arms.
When Bu Linglong and the others returned home, Mrs. Lin urged her to hurry up and change her clothes, while she went into the kitchen to cook her a bowl of ginger soup.
It's hot at this time, but the water in the river is still a little cold, and she doesn't feel at ease if she doesn't drink a bowl of ginger soup.
Bu Linglong felt that her back was estimated to be bruised, and the village chief's daughter-in-law was very heavy, although she was old, but because of her perennial farm work, this strength was really not small.
There was no medicine on her back, so she could only heal naturally, and when she changed her clothes and walked out of the room, Mrs. Lin handed her the ginger soup: "Drink it while it's hot, go to the cold." ”
Bu Linglong took the bowl and touched the temperature of the bowl, it should have been put for a while, and the temperature was just right at this time, so she picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp.
The village chief returned home with a gloomy face, sat in the hall, took out a dry cigarette and smoked it non-stop, if this matter was not handled well, his village chief's majesty would be swept away, and he would not even be able to keep the position of the village chief.
And the two of them are still relatives, and the relationship is still very close, but this kind of thing happened.
Liu Yinghua went back to the room with his roots, and Su Rou followed him to see his nephew, and there were only three grandfathers and Mrs. Zhou left in the house.
Su Fangru sat on the chair next to him, at a loss: "Dad, what should I do about this?" ”
"You ask me, who do I ask?" Originally, he would give this position to his son after a few more years as the village chief, and the position of the village chief could be inherited by his son, but when this happened, he didn't know if the position of the village chief could be kept, let alone the rest.
Mrs. Zhou didn't understand why the father and son were so worried, "There is no need to have a bitter face one by one, if you make a mistake, you just have to make compensation." What's more, we're still relatives, and my sister-in-law won't care. ”
In Mrs. Zhou, I really don't think things are so difficult, aren't they also panicked because of the child's affairs, as long as they apologize sincerely, she doesn't believe that her sister-in-law and Hansong's daughter-in-law will not forgive them.
"You know what? Do you know how bad the impact of this incident is, even if your sister-in-law and Bu Linglong forgive, it is an indelible fact. "The woman's family is shallow-eyed, and she can only see the three-point land in front of her.
"Originally, there was no such thing, and I can still sit firmly in the position of village head, because of this matter, I am afraid that I will have to change people." Speaking of this, the village chief looked bitter and hateful.
"What? So serious? Mrs. Zhou's eyes widened and she looked at her old man in disbelief.
"If you say it, let's just say that you don't understand the Tao of a woman. You think the village chief is so good, that is also to be assessed. "Well done, not well done, the people above can see it.
Especially the county orders that were just transferred a year ago are not the previous county orders, this person is upright and does not enter the oil and salt, and he is a very headache.
But there are people above people, even if someone wants to move, he can't move.
He also overheard the master talking to others, otherwise how could he know so much, he is a small village chief, and he doesn't want to participate in the open and secret battles between the people above.
"Assessment? Since when? How did I not know? "I hadn't heard of it before, so why was it so sudden.
"What do you know? Did it work to tell you? "What's the use of telling her this kind of thing, it's good not to help.
"Why is it useless, I will at least restrain myself." She relied on her status as the village chief's daughter-in-law to be quite powerful sometimes, but if she knew that the village chief was so bad, she would definitely not do it.
Besides, she also knows whether she is good or not, and she is useless no matter how she says.
"Did it work? Didn't I say that? How many times has he said it, and has she listened? No, it's always been the left ear in and the right ear out, and he's tired when he talks too much, so he can only look at it by himself, but it turned out to be just better, but this happened again.
Mrs. Zhou was scolded by the old man like this, and her arrogance immediately went down and she didn't say anything more.
"Dad, let's not care about other things yet, at least in this matter, we have to act quickly, and we must not delay." Su Fangfu knew that his mother was sometimes unclear, and this matter must not be passed on, once it was spread, his father's position as the village chief would really come to an end, and their family's sense of superiority would be gone, and in the future, like ordinary villagers, they would have to listen to the words of the new village chief.
After thinking about it, the village chief thought that this was the only way to work, "You drove the ox cart to the town to buy some meat and some pastries, and we came to apologize." "Just like the second son said, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and it must not be delayed, otherwise the consequences will be even more unimaginable.
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she immediately jumped up, "What, it's not okay to give meat, you still have to buy pastries, dead old man, is our family's life over?" As soon as money was mentioned, Mrs. Zhou immediately fried the pot.
"Your grandson isn't worth the money?"
As soon as the village chief's words came out, even Su Fangru's face was not good, what does his mother mean by this, daring to love her grandson is so worthless in her eyes.
The village chief slapped the table vigorously, "I am the head of the family, I am not dead yet, go get the money." ”
Mrs. Zhou was yelled at by the village chief, and reluctantly went to get fifty wen and handed it to her eldest son: "Buy a cheap one." ”
The village chief was really almost out of breath by his mother-in-law, how could he not understand what she was thinking, "Go get fifty more wen." ”
"What? Do you want fifty more? ”
"Do you even take it?" The village chief now regrets seeing Mrs. Zhou's mother-in-law, why did he marry such a mother-in-law in the first place.
Mrs. Zhou couldn't do anything, so she went to get another fifty wen under the old man's sharp eyes, and cursed Bu Linglong for a long time in her heart.
The things on the village chief's side did not affect Bu Linglong in the slightest, and after drinking the ginger soup, she went to prepare to deal with the pigs.
I originally wanted to go to the kitchen to deal with it, but after I came back, the three little cubs have been following her since I came back, the older one is slightly better, and the younger two seem to have been frightened a lot, she can only put things aside for the time being and hold the two little cubs in her arms, "What's wrong?" ”
"Mother, I'm afraid." Sambo put his arms around her neck and buried his head in her neck, his voice muffled.
Bu Linglong rubbed his little head: "Don't be afraid, my mother will always be with you, don't be afraid." ”
"Mother, will you really stay with us all the time?" Because Erbao had no place, he found a place to nest in Bu Linglong's arms.
"Yes, my mother will always grow up with you, and I want to watch you get married and start a business."
"Mother, you are not allowed to deceive people."
"Okay, don't lie, I don't believe we can pull the hook." Bu Linglong stretched out his little finger and hooked it slightly, and Erbao and Sanbao stretched out their fingers at the same time and hooked Bu Linglong's fingers together, "The hook is not allowed to change for a hundred years." ”
"Mother, this is what you promised, and it is a puppy to regret it."
"Okay, whoever repents is a puppy." Bu Linglong shook her fingers hooked together.
After playing with them for a while, seeing that it was not early, Bu Linglong sent them away: "You go to play with my brother and grandma for a while, and my mother will go to cook." ”
With Bu Linglong's assurance, Erbao and Sanbao reluctantly let go of Bu Linglong, and went back to the room to find grandma accompanied by Dabao.
The seasoning she bought last time is also that she plans to marinate these pigs together in the water, and put them directly into the space if she can't finish eating, so that she doesn't have to worry about wasting them because of the weather.
The method of lo-mei is relatively simple, just the seasoning is in place, and you can make it.
In this era, there was no cooking wine, but she had it in the space, and the pig was first marinated in water with cooking wine, peppercorns, salt and ginger.
The bone broth was already boiling in the pot on the side, tumbling and tumbling, and when the lid was lifted, the bone broth was steaming hot, glowing milky white, and the fragrance was also spreading.
"It was not polluted in ancient times, and it was really fragrant." Bu Linglong couldn't help but sigh.
