Chapter 70: The Dead
There was a crisp and loud snap, Xue Zhi'an covered his face, and his aggrieved eyes were red: "Daughter-in-law, what are you doing beating me?" ”
Ye Shu'er looked at her red hand, and then looked at Xue Zhi'an, she almost subconsciously reached out to fight the hooligans when she heard this kind of remarks, but forgot that Xue Zhi'an was just expressing what she meant.
Xue Zhi'an turned around angrily and lay on the bed with his back to her: "I'm angry!" ”
Ye Shu'er immediately regretted it, "Zhi'an, I'm sorry, I ......"
"If you give me a baby, I won't be angry."
Xue Zhi'an turned around, and the red marks on his cheeks were extremely obvious.
Ye Shu'er was choked by him, remembered the events of the previous days, and said seriously: "Zhi'an, why do you want children?" ”
"You won't leave me if you have a child." He looked at Ye Shu'er with crystal clear eyes, and begged bitterly, "Daughter-in-law, let's give birth to one!" ”
Ye Shu'er knocked on the side to understand the truth of the matter, it turned out that when Xue Zhi'an was playing outside, someone said that he heard the gossip, saying that he was a fool, and his daughter-in-law would definitely leave him in the future!
He observed around the house and found that the difference between the two of them and the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the second brother and the second sister-in-law was that they had one less child, so they wanted children.
Ye Shu'er was almost laughed at by his remarks, "Zhi'an, you're not stupid, you'll be fine." ”
"But they said that I don't know anything, and I have to rely on my daughter-in-law to support me, and if someone treats you better in the future, you will leave me."
He drooped his head aggrievedly.
He's stupid, but he also has people he cares about.
Ye Shu'er said with a straight face: "Then have you asked me?" Ask me if I'll leave you. ”
Xue Zhi'an was stunned, "Will you?" ”
Ye Shu'er shook her head, "I won't, Zhi'an is smart and capable, why should I leave you?" ”
"But...... I'm stupid......"
"You're not stupid."
Ye Shu'er held one of his hands and said, "The benevolent love others, and the polite ones respect others." What's in the back? ”
Xue Zhi'an didn't know why, but he still received: "Those who love others will always love them, and those who respect others will always respect them." ”
"The heavens will descend on the people."
"You must first work your mind and your muscles...... Zeng benefited from what he couldn't. ”
Ye Shu'er recited two more, and Xue Zhi'an also picked it up.
"Zhi'an, they don't know what you just memorized, do you think you're stupid? In my opinion, not only is he not stupid, but he is also very smart. ”
Xue Zhi'an's eyes sparkled.
"Three hundred and sixty lines, no one can know anything, but this kind of thing, Zhi'an is already very powerful! You can't, those people won't! So don't say you're stupid anymore. ”
"You're not stupid."
"Uh-huh." Xue Zhi'an nodded wildly.
Seeing that he was in a better mood, Ye Shu'er secretly pinched a cold sweat, thanking the Chinese teacher for staring at her endorsement, and she could still come up with a few questions to test Xue Zhi'an, and if she memorized it, she would be exposed.
She went out to pick up a ball of snow, wrapped it in a cloth and applied it to Xue Zhi'an's face for a while, it was not heavy, and the swelling quickly subsided.
Xue Zhi'an was like a child, and he forgot about it after two sentences.
After dinner, Xue Mingzhu, Li Yumei, and Song were all embroidering with handkerchiefs, and they would talk a few words from time to time.
Zhang Shi looked at such a harmonious picture from the side, and couldn't help but feel a lot happier: "When you finish embroidering, go to the town together, the snow kills the vegetables, you have to buy some back, and prepare for the New Year." ”
"Okay." Li Yumei promised to be the most cheerful, and she also wanted to use the money to buy Xiaobao a red dress to celebrate.
Song chimed in: "Add some more charcoal." ”
There are a lot of people this year, and a small half of the charcoal has been burned, and this year's snow is heavy, and there will be more charcoal fires when it is cold, and I am afraid that there will not be enough storage at home.
Zhang remembered it in his heart, and was about to urge his daughter-in-law to go to sleep when he heard a shout from outside the yard, saying that he had fallen into the water.
Several people hurriedly put on their coats and followed to take a look.
Ye Shu'er and Xue Zhi'an also followed.
The place where this happened is downstream of the well.
The good and bad things have been said, and there are still people who are greedy for those big fish, and secretly go down the well to catch them, but they don't come out for half an hour, and when they see people, they have already floated to the downstream river.
The people were soaked white and stiff, and their naked bodies were frosted, and the man's family gathered around the water's edge, crying into tears.
But what's the solution?
Li Zheng sighed: "This time you have all seen it, the well is too dangerous, immediately seal the well, and you must not move it until you have to!" ”
He took the lead in asking people to lift two stone slabs, blocked the wellhead, and then pressed a hundred-pound stone, and Li Zheng told the people to disperse with confidence.
For the people who died, they didn't listen to persuasion, Li Zheng appeased a few words, and nothing else could be done.
When the Xue family returned home, they buried their heads one by one and didn't say a word.
Ye Shuer's dream came true, but it was just a different person. There was something uncomfortable in her heart. Back in the house, without waiting for Xue Zhi'an to warm up the quilt, she got into it and curled up in a ball.
Xue Zhian quickly took off his coat and went into the quilt to hold the person warm.
In the next few days, Ye Shuer didn't go out, and she kept concentrating on painting the happy clothes.
It was Xue Zhi'an, who went out more frequently, and when Ye Shuer asked, Zhang's face was full of relief.
"Shu'er, Zhi'an listened to you, went to study hard, and pestered the old master in the village to teach him to read these days."
Since Zhi'an lost his memory, he has not been so interested in books, and now he is so attentive, Zhang sees hope again.
Ye Shu'er didn't expect Xue Zhi'an to listen to the words so quickly, so she took an umbrella and went to the end of the village to pick up people.
Before leaving, Zhang cut half of the meat and asked her to give it to her master.
The old master in the village has passed the age of six, it is said that he returned from the capital to return to his hometown, it is difficult for the people in the village to live, let alone submit money to study, over time, the old master no longer teaches and educates people, lives a poor life, and only as an interest in his spare time, and chatters with the children in the village.
In the past, Xue Zhi'an loved to come to him, the old master talked about the sound and color, Xue Zhi'an listened to it very fascinated, and then came for a few days, when the old master lectured, he was a lot of energy, just put down the ring ruler, and saw a little girl, he was kind and kind, smiled slightly, and showed half of the missing teeth: "You are Zhi'an's daughter-in-law, right?" looks so good, and in the future, she will be a beautiful little lady. ”
Ye Shu'er's face turned crimson, this was the first time someone praised herself like this, and her good impression of her master suddenly increased, and she handed over the meat: "Master Xie taught my husband." ”
"It's I want Xie Zhi'an, you can come and accompany me old man, it's not early, you can go back quickly." The old master turned and went back.
In just two rooms, Ye Shuer clearly saw that there was only one master and son in the house, what about his family?
"Daughter-in-law, I've learned a lot today, I'll recite it to you."
Along the way, Ye Shu'er listened quietly, praised a few words from time to time, and waited for Xue Zhi'an to finish reciting before she asked about the old master.
Xue Zhi'an is also not very clear: "I only know that the old master has no family, and when he fled the famine before, he met a master, and the master taught the old master what he had learned all his life, and the old master inherited the mantle, so he opened a school, and then I don't know how, so he came back." ”
"Zhi'an, is the master the most knowledgeable person in ten miles and eight towns?"
Ye Shu'er suddenly asked something that the bull's head was not right for the horse's mouth.
Xue Zhi'an was even more strange, but nodded in accordance with his heart.
"That'll do." Ye Shuer had a plan in her heart.
Early the next morning, the family set off together.
The family's farm work was too heavy to dry due to heavy snow, and there were a lot of things to buy this time, so I brought all the people with me.
Xue Zhi'an and Ye Shu'er made a bamboo raft again, Xiaobao and the eldest girl had the most fun, screaming all the way, and things were also put on the bamboo raft, and the family could relax a lot.
"Ahh Dead, dead man! The eldest girl suddenly exclaimed, jumped off the bamboo raft and ran to Song's body, her little hands trembling and pointing to the snow.
Li Yumei hurriedly hugged Xiaobao.
Ye Shu'er and Xue Zhi'an, Xue Boss Xue and Xue Lao Er stepped forward to check.
