Wait for one night!

When Zhao Yu woke up in a daze, the genius was bright, and he happened to see Hu Shi jumping off the kang and rushing outside.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu immediately got up and ran out.

When I got out of the outhouse, I saw that the courtyard door was just being pushed open, and Zhao Yongzhuo's figure appeared at the door.

At this time, Zhao Yongzhuo was carrying a bucket, his sweatshirt was full of mud, his face was blue and purple, and the corners of his mouth and left eye were swollen.

Seeing Zhao Yu's mother and son in the courtyard, the corners of Zhao Yongzhuo's swollen mouth cracked, grinned at the two, and limped into the courtyard.

Hu Shi pursed his lips and raised his head to smack his nose, and then ran to Zhao Yongzhuo with tears in his eyes, quickly took off the flat shoulder and bucket on Zhao Yongzhuo's body, and checked the injuries on Zhao Yongzhuo's body.

Zhao Yu also rushed over, ripped off Zhao Yongzhuo's left trouser leg and looked at his lameness.

"It's okay, it's okay! It's all skin trauma, not in the way! ”

Looking at his wife and children, Zhao Yongzhuo grinned, he didn't want his wife and children to worry, and naturally moved his left foot.

It's just that the ankle of the left leg is swollen so high, and Zhao Yongzhuo grinned when he was big.

After Hu examined Zhao Yongzhuo's injury, he also found that his left ankle was the most seriously injured, so without saying a word, he helped him into the house.

Zhao Yu followed and helped Zhao Yongzhuo on the kang.

Seeing that Hu began to wipe Zhao Yongzhuo's body, Zhao Yu walked out of the house silently, and then ran to his paddy field.

Under the rising sun.

Zhao Yu saw that although his paddy field was still densely covered with cracks, the mud was no longer as white as yesterday, but had turned into moisture containing water, and water stains could even be seen in many places on the edge of the field.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu knew that this was Zhao Yongzhuo's masterpiece last night.

And this water was snatched by Zhao Yongzhuo!

Two or three miles to the west of Zhaojiagou, there is also a big village called Shangrao Village.

There is a small river between the two villages.

During the famine years, Shangrao Village occupied the small river by virtue of its large number of people, and did not allow the people of Zhaojiagou to go there to use water, otherwise they would be severely beaten.

There are few people in Zhaojiagou, so there is no choice but to let it go with hatred, unless there is a real shortage of water, they will go there to rob it.

And Zhao Yongzhuo went there to grab water last night, and was found by the people of Shangrao Village and beaten.

Knowing that there is danger, I still have to go there to grab water!

This is the first time Zhao Yu has seen Zhao Yongzhuo hard, and Zhao Yu's perception of him has changed greatly.

Zhao Yongzhuo was submissive in front of his family, but for the sake of his wife and children, and for the survival of the family, he went to grab water alone and took on the heavy responsibility of the family, he is a man!

Turning around, Zhao Yu ran home.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Zhao Yu was reprimanded by the Hu family and ran around, and then asked Zhao Yu to take care of Zhao Yongzhuo, and she hurriedly walked out of the house.

When Zhao Yu saw Hu leave, he also took a pound of brown rice from the rice bowl.

However, when he returned, Hu brought with him a thin old man with a goatee.

The old man is also a native of Zhaojiagou, surnamed Sun, his ancestors came to settle here, he is a wild doctor in the village, and everyone calls him Sun Langzhong.

Sun Langzhong examined Zhao Yongzhuo.

Fortunately, they were all skin injuries, and the most serious left ankle did not hurt the muscles and bones, but only the flesh and skin.

In the end, Sun Langzhong left a bottle of liquid medicine and left.

Hu put down the big stone in his heart and sat on the kang to rub the liquid medicine for Zhao Yongzhuo, but Zhao Yongzhuo hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Lady, it's okay to tell you, why did you invite Sun Langzhong? Another pound of rice wasted! Keep this liquid for now, and then use it later, don't waste it! ”

Zhao Yongzhuo looked at the medicinal liquid in Hu's hand, full of distress.

Hu Shi didn't speak, glared at Zhao Yongzhuo, then slapped Zhao Yongzhuo's hand away with one palm, and wiped it heavily from the corner of Zhao Yongzhuo's eyes with the medicinal liquid, so painful that Zhao Yongzhuo grinned, and didn't dare to say that it was wasted.

Zhao Yu stood by the fire kang and quietly looked at the different husband and wife love in front of him.

Until the couple got better, Zhao Yu suddenly spoke:

"Daddy! Which bastard beat you? ”

Zhao Yu showed the indignation of the child's ignorance, but a cold glint flashed faintly in the depths of his eyes.

Zhao Yongzhuo didn't answer him, and what answered Zhao Yu was a slap from the Hu family.

"Bastard boy, you don't care about the adult's business, go and make breakfast!"

A slap on Zhao Yu's head, Hu glared at Zhao Yu.

As fierce as the Hu family, its female power cannot be disobeyed!

Zhao Yu shrugged his head and walked out of the inner room with an indignant face.

When he came to the outhouse, Zhao Yu returned to his normal color, carried the iron pot, and opened the rice jar.

In the rice tank, there was not much brown rice, and after losing a catty, a thin layer went down, which made the already crisis-shrouded family even worse.

Zhao Yu pursed his lips and stretched out his little hand to grab the rice jar.

At this moment, Hu's voice came from the inner room again:

"Be careful when grabbing rice, only grab two handfuls, your hands are small, grab one more, be careful not to fall to the ground!"

"Got it!"

Zhao Yu cautiously grabbed three handfuls of rice from the rice jar and put them in the iron pot, then added water and put them on the fire pit and began to burn the fire.

The children of poor families have long been in charge, Zhao Yu has also suffered in his previous life, and he can still cook porridge on the fire, and Zhao Yu also knows that the fire is too big and it is easy to boil the only bit of rice in the pot at the bottom of the pot, so after the water is boiled, change the heat to low, and use a wooden shovel to stir in the pot from time to time.

......

Had breakfast.

The farming is over, the weather is dry, and everyone has nothing to do.

Zhao Yongzhuo, who couldn't stay idle, was weaving a dustpan again, and Hu was also washing clothes in the outhouse.

Zhao Yu looked at the sun in the sky, and then walked out of the house.

"Why are you going?"

Hu's rough voice came from behind him.

"I'm going to listen to the old gentleman's story!"

"Just listen to it, don't run around!"

"Got it!"

Zhao Yu walked out of the courtyard without looking back and walked towards the village to the east.

There is a big locust tree in the middle of the village in Zhaojiagou, and the village is centered on the big locust tree, spreading to the east and west.

On the edge of the big locust tree, there is the best big house in Zhaojiagou, just like the ancestral hall of later generations.

Zhao Yu walked in front of a house, and then came to the big locust tree, and came to the front of this big house.

On the threshold of the house sat a gray-haired withered old man.

With his back to the door with his back to the door, he was smiling and telling a story to a group of children crouching in the shade of the tree in front of the door.

This person is the old gentleman in Zhao Yu's mouth.

The old gentleman is an old boy, the most learned person in Zhaojiagou, and he is very respected by the people of Zhaojiagou.

However, the old gentleman had no children and no daughters, he was a lonely man, and he liked to tell stories to children in the village to attract children's laughter and pass the loneliness.

And the children like to listen to stories, and they come to the old gentleman every day.

The two generations each asked for what they needed, and there was this scene in front of the door.

After Zhao Yu came here, he was in a hurry, hurriedly squatting with a group of children, listening to the old gentleman's story excitedly.

The old gentleman had a rule that he would only tell one story a day.

However, the old gentleman spoke very slowly, and it took half an hour to finish a story.

When the old gentleman dropped the last word, raised his hand and waved, a group of children stood up unsatisfied.

However, these children also knew the old gentleman's rules, and they did not make noise with the old gentleman, and after listening to it, they went to play with each other.

It's just that Zhao Yu didn't move, still squatting in place, looking at the old gentleman with a smile.

The old gentleman also raised his old eyelids at this time and looked at Zhao Yu with a smile:

"Yu boy is here? Why didn't I see you yesterday? ”

"Yesterday there was something at home, and my mother didn't let me go out!"

Zhao Yu moved his steps and squatted in front of the old gentleman.

The old gentleman didn't ask Zhao Yu anything, Zhao Jiagou is so big, and each family has something to do, and he can't hide it.

Touching Zhao Yu's head with a smile, the old gentleman slowly spoke again:

"What words do you want to learn today?"
