Chapter 1 Teaching Children Before Bed
"Second brother, my mother has been drinking medicine for more than a month, and she is not getting better...... Why don't we go and invite that old fairy from Shili Village to come and ......?"
"Big brother said this lightly. My mother only saw the best doctor in our town last month, and if she doesn't listen to the serious doctor's advice, why do you find an old liar who has a false name? Didn't have to spend that unjust money. If you want me to say, my mother is sick...... I'm afraid it's not very good...... I can say that the eldest brother, as the eldest son, deserves more ......."
When Cheng Shui's consciousness gradually recovered, he heard such a sentence.
I don't know which unfilial son this is, so it's not four or six, I'm afraid I haven't been beaten for many years, saying this kind of dog language!
"Ah, mother! Mother, are you awake? A male voice sounded in Cheng Shui's ears, followed by other chirping voices getting closer and closer.
What are you calling, Cheng Shui had to open his eyes. I was stunned when I saw it.
In the dark and cramped room, there are a few pieces of old wooden furniture. The walls are a yellowish-brown color mixed with earth and stone.
She felt that something was not right, thinking back to the early years when the organization was not established, it was probably not so dilapidated.
In another blink of an eye, he finally understood the young man in front of him, his face was dark, and his body was short brown and knotted. Turning his head again, the four people in the room were all sallow-faced and looked malnourished.
How can there be such a scene in 2037, so this must not be modern!
"Mother, mother! You're awake, mother...... Why don't you speak...... Mother? …… Big brother, mother, this won't be stupid, right? We don't have any money for our mother's ......."
When Cheng Er saw Mrs. Cheng wake up, he panicked at first, but then screamed twice. Seeing that she didn't speak, she muttered in her mouth.
Mrs. Cheng settled down, she is so old, and she is also a person who has gone through things, crossing over, being reborn or something, she has acted badly in film and television dramas in the early years, but she is not panicking.
On the other hand, the other people were even worse than hers, and seemed to be worried about something.
"Shut up, you nonsense." Cheng Da really couldn't help but scold Cheng Er who was muttering.
The expressions of the two women who were a little farther away were a little numb, and they kept their heads down except for the first glance at Cheng Shui.
This is not a thing, just listening to these two sentences, coupled with everyone's expressions at the beginning, Cheng Shui understood a little.
She sat up and beckoned to the young man, who called the other eldest brother, who was at least the second.
"Mother? You call me, what's the matter......" The young man was Cheng Er, he touched his nose and stepped forward.
Cheng Shui sat up with the boss's shoulder, rounded his arm, and slapped Cheng Er with a big slap!
"Ahhhh Mother!! Cheng Er was beaten and fell to the ground, and his teeth were knocked on the corners of his lips and blood oozed.
He turned his head to look at Cheng Shui in shock, with a faint hint of anger.
"Mother!" Cheng Da was also startled, and hurriedly turned sideways to protect him, he was afraid that Cheng Er would rush up.
Two women also came around, one helped Cheng Er up, and the other stood beside Cheng Da.
"What kind of unfilial thing are you, dare to say such things to the old lady. Maybe I didn't teach you to speak human words, but my mother made it up for you today, remember it. ”
Cheng Shui stared at Cheng Er with blazing eyes, and there was no doubt in his tone that he looked like a woman who had been sick for two months.
Cheng Er, who was originally not much angry, was glared at by this, and instantly became dumbfounded, and hung his head weakly.
Cheng Shui turned his gaze to Cheng Da at this time: "The eldest brother is like a father, you don't know how to teach and persuade your brother, and now that he is beaten, you also have a problem." ”
Hearing this, Cheng Da lowered his head in shame.
"You take him, you two go, kneel over there, I don't call you to get up." Cheng Shui pointed to the open space at the door and said lightly.
Cheng Da silently walked to Cheng Er's side, seeing that he was still a little unconvinced, he hurriedly grabbed him, pressed Cheng Er, and knelt at the door together.
Seeing the two of them kneeling, Cheng Shui slowly lay down. Although she didn't feel any pain in her body, she listened to what she meant just now, and the body that crossed over had been sick for two months, so she had to pretend to be one.
The two women were completely dumbfounded, and when they saw Cheng Shui lying down, they could only retreat silently, and there was no word the whole time.
……
He knelt until sunset, and the bright red sunset shone through the broken windows on the dirt floor of the house.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the house.
Early this morning, Cheng San went to the town to buy medicine, because it was two legs back and forth, which was much slower. I only entered the yard at dusk, but as soon as I got home, I was pulled by my sister-in-law and told me what happened after my mother woke up.
He was puzzled for a moment, so he went to visit his mother first, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw two brothers kneeling in the middle.
Cheng Da hung his head, kneeling was also upright, Cheng Er was crooked, and when he saw Cheng San, he gave him a look.
Cheng San was helpless, and after entering the house sideways, he called softly: "Mother, I'm back." ”
Cheng Shui, who had already figured out his thoughts, pretended to have just woken up, glanced at him, and complained in his heart, why is there another one, how many sons are there in this family?
"Mother, are you hungry? Look, what did the third son buy for you, give you a taste? Cheng San hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, took out a handkerchief from his arms, opened it to her, and carefully wrapped a few dates.
Of course, Cheng Shui was a little hungry, and he couldn't figure out the situation when he first arrived. For some reason, the family never said they would have dinner.
"Mother, I don't know the eldest brother and second brother, what made you angry? But they must be wrong, or they will be punished for not being able to eat tomorrow. Seeing that Mrs. Cheng had eaten, Cheng San spoke.
Cheng Shui understood what he meant.
This afternoon of lying in bed was enough for her to figure things out.
Cheng Shui, who is in his forties in modern times, has always been an outlier.
In the eyes of her friends, she is wise and powerful, but she is unsociable and out of place; In the eyes of her family, she is productive and capable, but she is different from others because she does not get married or have children. Of course, Cheng Shui herself feels that although she has a smooth life, her personality is really perverse, but so what, she can not affect others, but she can be responsible for all her actions and decisions.
Although I don't know what shit luck she stepped on, which way the fairy sent her to this place. Let her, who is already in her forties, still have to suffer in a place where this kind of bird doesn't.
Isn't it just a crime, not to mention food, clothing, housing and transportation, just because she has never been married in her life. Now that I have three more children out of thin air, I feel tired.
"Mother?"
Cheng Shui glanced at him and didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
In the next two days, no one dared to put a beak on it, and Cheng Shui gradually learned some things about this era.
According to the eldest daughter-in-law of this body, it was the older numb woman yesterday.
It hasn't rained for a year, and the country is in drought, and the fields are dry and can't be cultivated. Every family, in order to save physical strength, only eats a little gruel every day, and then sleeps heavily.
For another example, in the family she came to, the eldest son was honest and silent, and he had a boy with his eldest daughter-in-law, and in order to take care of Mrs. Cheng in the past two days, he was fostered in her mother's house; The second son is greedy for money and stingy, the second daughter-in-law is silent and honest, the last time the son was slapped by her, and now he doesn't dare to come to the back room; The third son is well-behaved, and he follows the village chief's brother Duan to read and write at the village chief's house.
Speaking of which, I have to mention it.
Earlier, Mrs. Cheng taught her son before the bed, of course, not only to vent her evil anger, but she also implied a bit of temptation. Although filial piety was advocated in ancient times, how much did it implement?
Fortunately, the family did not violate the yang and the yin, and the worst Cheng Er did not dare to come forward, she was still quite satisfied.
What surprised her even more was that the matter spread somehow, and the village chief called his three sons to scold him.
