"Eat."

"Why are you not happy to eat, people outside don't have your mother's craft, if you want to talk about fish stew, I have the best craftsmanship in the whole village!"

"It's better than your stew." The second dog is not angry.

"Hey, you, you're going to eat something else, don't you have a good face, right? I'm angry and want to come back?! You give the old lady a tight grip on your skin. The second dog lady patted the placket of her clothes and pointed at him: "It's going to rain tonight, I'll beat you believe it or not when I'm idle." ”

"My sister-in-law's face is good." The second dog was aggrieved and couldn't speak.

"What the hell is going on then?"

Ergou held back for a long time before saying: "Erzhu wants to worship Mr. Shen Hongdang and learn to read!" ”

"Really?" The second dog lady was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect to have such a stubble.

The second dog turned around and went back to the house, and the second dog was still thinking about it.

As soon as the meal was finished, the news that Erzhu wanted to worship Shen Hong as a literacy gentleman spread, and the seven aunts and eight aunts gathered at the end of the village street, sitting under the big tree and holding a pu fan to enjoy the shade.

"Yo, have you heard, Shen Hong wants to accept Erzhu as a disciple, worship such a big child as a gentleman, and say that he will laugh at the dead."

"If you want me to say, it's the widow's idea, he is lazy and greedy, he doesn't do his own work, but lets his brother-in-law come out to make a living."

"How much money can he earn, even if the second daughter-in-law (second aunt) is willing to give him a few children? I think he has too big a heart and wants to pinch the little uncle and the little Shen family in his hands, but can he afford his little uncle? That's a Wenqu star! ”

"It's Wenqu Xing, if you can't afford it, you have to hold on to it!"

Someone next to him said sourly: "Look at how many days he can be majestic, a foreign widow, no matter how powerful he is, he can turn the sky upside down." ”

"Brother Zhao, look at this widow's majesty, it will make you uncomfortable to death these days." The sister-in-law next to him laughed at him.

"I can't see this kind of brother, he doesn't have a proper shape, what does it look like?"

He is the elder brother of the village, and he is also married to the people of the village, and he has not won a good sentence in his life, so he can't see Lin Piao's young brother arrogant, and he is annoyed when he looks at it.

The gossip at the entrance of the village spread quickly, and it took less than a meal to reach the Da Shen family, and the grandson of the Da Shen family was playing outside, and when he heard the news, he hurriedly went home and told his father, and his father and mother went to tell his grandmother that it was passed on to the whole Shen family in less than a quarter of an hour.

The uncle was overjoyed and paced in the courtyard of his own room: "Okay, you see that he doesn't show his feet immediately, what does it look like this, his eldest brother worked hard for him to go to private school, and he just died, this brother won't let him go to private school, but let him teach people, I'll go to the door to see what else he has to say!" ”

The eldest aunt stopped him: "If you go out, you must discuss with the second child, when our family goes over, we may not be able to hold this cheap hoof, he bit back and said that Shen Hong was willing, Shen Hong also spoke for him, and when the time came, he would cry, saying that we were going to force him and the little uncle to death, and we would win there He cried, made trouble and hanged himself!" ”

The eldest aunt still had palpitations when she thought of the last time, she was really afraid of Lin Piao, the evil star, and she was going to die or live at every turn.

Uncle was stumped by what she said, he was a literate person in the village, if he went to the door and was driven out by that brother crying and being pointed at, he couldn't afford to lose this face!

"According to what you say, we still have no way to deal with him now, and we have to continue to wait?"

"Wait, why don't you wait, what can you afford to accept a disciple? Let's see what other tricks he thinks of to make money. ”

"It's not that I can't afford to wait, I'm afraid that Shen Hong will stay with this brother for a long time, and he will learn to be treacherous and slippery, and when the time comes, we are afraid that we will raise him and raise a disaster at home."

"Don't worry, Shen Hong is an honest man, at most he can learn to be smart, how bad can he be, can he still go to heaven with us in charge?"

The uncle stroked his beard and pondered, and nodded for a moment: "That's the same." ”

The second uncle's room was much calmer, and the second uncle was frowning: "He knows that it is good to make money, and he will never slaughter chickens again. ”

She frowned and was worried about another matter, and turned her face to look at her man: "You said that it was not successful, why haven't they come to the news yet, and they don't say anything in their hearts." ”

The second uncle thought for a while: "I'm afraid I have to discuss this matter with the eldest brother's family, otherwise it will take some effort for them to contribute." ”

They think about it well, others can't care if Lin Piao changes or not, but Lin Piao's mother's family can manage it, right? They specially asked someone to bring news to his mother's house, saying that he was a new widow and suffering, and it would be best if he could remarry a good man, but he didn't hear back for a long time, I don't know what Lin Piao's mother's family thinks, and he is so poor that he is so poor that he will take Qiao up.

"I'll ask someone again, maybe they're already showing Lin Piaoxiang a man, I don't know what they're delaying, and it's not been three days, how can there be such a fast thing." The second aunt has average action, but she is 10,000 active in this matter and acts vigorously and resolutely.

A bunch of things are noisy, and at night, the second dog lady is vigorously pressing the waist of the second dog father: "I saw that the second dog went to drink a bowl of fish soup, and he wilted all day long, and he had to read and write, and he didn't know what he was guilty of." ”

The second dog father lay on the kang and did not say a word.

The second dog lady continued: "But it's also, Erzhu recognized the words, and compared him to him, where can he feel comfortable in his heart, I said that the second aunt always goes to Lin Piao's side to make up something, it turns out that this benefit of the picture, what kind of material is her Erzhu, she still wants to raise a show?" ”

The second dog father was silent for a long time, and it took him half a day to sit up: "Literacy is not a bad thing." ”

The second dog lady did not deny this: "Whoever can recognize the words in this village is not a high look." ”

"Tomorrow you go find that brother and see if he is a good person to get along with."

The second dog lady was stunned: "Dad, what do you mean?" ”

"Let's go and see first, forget it if it doesn't work, sleep, and I'll have to take care of the ground tomorrow." After he finished speaking, he fell asleep, but let the second son of a girl think about this and didn't fall asleep for half the night.

Chapter 8

Lin Piao didn't get up early, but the windows of the house where he lives now leaked air and light, and as soon as the sky lit up outside, the house was not much darker than the outside, and yesterday Shen Hong and Erzhu agreed about the time for morning class, and Erzhu came to knock on the firewood door of his house early in the morning.

Lin Piao lay on the kang and turned over and over, fortunately Shen Hong got up early, opened the door and welcomed Erzhu in, the two talked in the hall, Shen Hong's voice was okay, Sven was organized, his voice was not loud, and he was not in a hurry, but Erzhu, like a hurried trumpet, would ask this and that, and he was still a little unconvinced by Shen Hong from time to time.

Lin Piao couldn't stand the noise, so he got up after lying on the bed for a while, put on his clothes and took a comb to comb his hair outside the house.

The brother's bun is not as complicated as a woman's, but it is not like a man's, it is a round bun tied at the back of the head, but it is also simple and refreshing, like a ball head.

After combing his hair, Lin Piao walked into the hall, and saw the two sitting around the table, Shen Hong carved a line of words on the bamboo slip for him, writing the beginning of the three-character scripture, at the beginning of people, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away.

He didn't have enough strength, and the handwriting left on the bamboo slips was a little shallow, but there were wind bones in both horizontal and vertical directions, and it could be seen that he practiced his words very well, and his basic skills were down-to-earth.

Lin Piao saw that his words were good-looking, and when he got up, most of his anger disappeared, and then he looked at the words like chicken paws in Erzhu.

Erzhu boasted to him yesterday that he was definitely better than Shen Hong in carving words and wood, and today he was bumped into by Lin Piao, and he was busy protecting the words with his elbow and hiding them from him.

Lin Piao pretended not to do so, and didn't care about the matter between the two: "Eat something and learn again, I'll see what I can cook." ”

Erzhu hurriedly said: "My mother boiled eggs at home, and I will bring them over as soon as they are cooked, and my sister-in-law is waiting to eat them." ”

Erzhu said that his chest was quite high, although Lin Piao confiscated his apprenticeship fee, but he and his mother were not the ones who took advantage, and they came together early in the morning to boil all the eggs that the family had saved in the past few days.

Lin Piao listened: "Really? Don't cook it for a long time, it's not delicious when you're old. As he spoke, he hurriedly turned around and walked out.

Although it is only a few eggs, in the era of protein shortage, this is a straining substance, how can he not care, it is rare to eat eggs, he doesn't want to eat unpalatable eggs.

Lin Piao rushed to the second sister-in-law's house and saw that she was cooking the stove, and the water in the pot was already boiling, and it looked like it had been boiling for a long time.

"The second aunt is about to put out the fire, save some firewood."

The second aunt was stunned: "Piao'er, didn't you say yesterday that you have to cook things thoroughly." ”

"How can it be so bad every day, when the water is boiling, just put the eggs in the boiling water and soak them for a while, you don't need to burn the stove for so long."

The second aunt is used to listening to him, not to mention that now Erzhu is still knowing what he is at home, of course, what he said is what, extinguished the stove, the stove is still warm and baking the cauldron, the two chatted for a while, Lin Piao calculated the time to scoop up the eggs, scooped the water over, and put the eggs in cold water for a while.

There were six eggs nested in Qing Lingling's water scoop, and the second aunt said beside her: "Two people for one, if you are hungry and still have a lotus, you scream, I will bring it to you." ”

Lin Piao took out five eggs from the water scoop: "The second aunt also eats, you have been doing work all day, which is harder than studying, don't shirk, I'll tell Erzhu later, he feels sorry for you, and he doesn't have the heart to study this morning." ”

The second aunt could only reluctantly respond: "Okay, okay......"

Lin Piao was holding an egg in his pocket, the second aunt sent him back, and the second dog girl in the distance was walking over with a pumpkin in her hand.

Lin Piao entered the room first, and the second aunt glanced at Erzhu's situation in the hall, and saw that he had a sad face but studied very hard, and retreated lightly.

Lin Piao each grabbed two egg bones and put them in Shen Hong and Erzhu's hands: "Hong'er opened the school on the first day, and Erzhu went to school on the first day, this is the eggs that the second aunt boiled for you, it is a good start, you have to work hard and be serious after eating." ”

"Yes." Shen Hong replied in a proper manner.

"Yes!" Erzhu almost jumped on the spot.

After saying that, Lin Piao took a small stool and sat outside, peeling his own egg, the shell was peeled off, it was really snow-white and cute, the heat was just right, not old and not raw, the egg yolk was fresh and tender, there was no layer of blue-gray outer membrane to affect the taste, hot into the mouth, eating without dry or choking, although the fragrance of egg white and egg yolk was light, it also had the power to soothe the stomach when it bloomed on the tip of the tongue.

Delicious.

"By the way, Shen Hong Erzhu, don't throw the eggshells around, keep them for me."

There was an answer from inside, and Lin Piao wanted to say something, but there was a knock on the door.

"Is Lin Piao there?" The voice was stiff and somewhat dry.

The second dog lady stood at the door with a pumpkin, feeling embarrassed to death, although she felt that Lin Piao was just like that, but if she wanted to come to the door to ask for someone, she still beat the drum in her heart, and always felt that a brother like Lin Piao was not so good, and she might not know how to choke her with words to belittle her.

"Who?" Lin Piao's voice came from inside.

Before we met, the second dog girl first straightened her clothes, this brother is a beautiful one, but it is not good for him to look down: "I am the aunt of the Wang family at the head of your village." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the aunt of the Wang family!" I don't know.

Lin Piaola opened the door and saw a middle-aged woman standing at the door with a pumpkin, as soon as he opened the door, she stuffed the pumpkin into his arms: "Newly picked pumpkin, your brother-in-law just came back, you can't walk away and don't even have the effort to reason, I think of you when I pick it." ”

"Thank you, Aunt Wang, pumpkin Hong'er must love to eat, come all the way to work, does your aunt have anything else?" Lin Piao hugged the pumpkin, not polite at all, and was already thinking about whether to eat steamed pumpkin or fried pumpkin at noon.

The steamed pumpkin is sweet and soft, and the fried pumpkin is salty and fragrant for bibimbap, which is good.

The aunt of the Wang family squeezed into the door when she saw the stitches, stood in the courtyard and looked inside, and saw Shen Hong and Erzhu sitting in the hall at a glance.

"What kind of aunt of the Wang family, just call me aunt, are they literate?"

Lin Piao put down the pumpkin and pulled her: "They are learning, let's go outside and say, it just so happens that my aunt is also sitting, don't be tired." As he spoke, he took two small stools and laid them down outside against the wall.

The aunt of the Wang family entered the comfort zone at once, took Lin Piao's hand and began to lengthen the east and the west, from Lengshuigou to the back hillside, and finally asked: "How much does it cost to find your family Shen Hong's second family to learn to read and write." ”

"Piao'er!"

"It's not that my aunt likes to inquire, but my aunt is afraid that you will be deceived and suffer."

Lin Piao looked at her hesitantly: "Can this be said?" ”

"Yes, you can! You said, "Listen, auntie, lest everyone see you in the future and want to take advantage of you." ”

Lin Piao smiled: "That doesn't exist in this, the money is from the inside out, but the second aunt and aunt, you also know, there are also people who can't give it for a while, you can only give as much as you want, what you give, give slowly, give for a long time." ”

The aunt of the Wang family looked relaxed for a while, and solemn for a while, she didn't understand what Lin Piao was doing Tai Chi, it sounded good, but it always felt that it was not so simple.

The two chatted for a while, Lin Piao asked some news from the village again, the two had dealings, and the aunt of the Wang family was satisfied with the dragon gate array, so she packed up and said goodbye to him and got up to go home.

The aunt of the Wang family walked all the way back, and the idle aunt looked at her with a smile on her face: "Sister of the Wang family, why are you going?" So happy? ”

"It's okay, I sent a pumpkin to Lin Piao's family." The aunts of the Wang family held back their strength, and it was not easy for them to know about it, but they always felt that this matter was almost eight or nine, and they couldn't help but feel proud in their hearts.

"Yo, if you don't give it to Lin Piao's family like this, you are still an outsider."

"Next time, I'll definitely send you if I have it." The aunt of the Wang family walked quickly as she spoke, afraid that she would be entangled and would not be able to get out.

As soon as she left, several aunts got together and pondered: "What kind of pumpkin did she send to Lin Piao's family inexplicably?" I just heard yesterday that Erzhu wants to learn literacy with Shen Hong, do you think she also has this idea? ”

"No, her second dog doesn't want to see dogs, so what else can she learn to read? I'm afraid it's a dream. ”
