Lin Piao shut a string of you and you outside the door, and waited until Wang Tongsheng's sigh and cold reprimand gradually faded away, and called out Erzhu.

"Little sister-in-law, what are you doing? You said. ”

Lin Piao smiled and hugged him: "You have studied hard, right?" Let's go out and relax. ”

The second monk was confused, but he always felt that his sister-in-law's smile was a little sinister.

Delusion, it must be an illusion.

Chapter 10

Lin Piao stepped over a basket covered with a white-washed linen cloth, and raised his hand with a wave: "Go." ”

Erzhu was excited, and looked at Shen Hong on the side with a somewhat cold look, although he was young, he was also a little bluffing, remembering that it was the first day to learn to write with him, and he couldn't pull his face, otherwise Shen Hong looked down on him even more: "Little sister-in-law, I still have to learn to write in the afternoon." ”

"Just for a while, Shen Hong, someone will lend me for a while." Lin Piao dragged people out, and Erzhu got an excuse and ran out in a hurry.

"Sister-in-law, what the hell are we going to do?"

Lin Piao lifted the corner of the basket and showed him it, and Erzhu stretched out his head: "Isn't this a burlap bag?" ”

"Shhhh Lin Piao hurried

"Huh?" Erzhu looked confused.

Lin Piao was helpless: "Didn't we want to beat Mr. just now?" ”

"Of course he wants to beat him!"

"If you want to fight, you must fight."

"Go and hit, hit the gentleman who is not defined, the gentleman who yaws and hits, and the gentleman who swishs."

In Erzhu's eyes full of reverence, the two followed them to the outside of the village, and Erzhu took out twelve points of swiftness, and beat Mr. Wang Ba with a head, which made the old boy scream.

Lin Piao picked up a stone and wrote a few words crookedly on the ground next to him, although simplified Chinese characters and current characters are not the same thing, Lin Piao has worked hard to combine the characteristics to ensure that the old boy can understand the meaning of this line of words after tearing open the sack.

Almost beaten, Lin Piao waved his hand and gave Erzhu a mouthful: "Withdraw." ”

The two of them ran away with a smoke, and when Wang Tongsheng arched out of the sack and threw away the sack, there was no one around, only desolate stones around him, and a line of bullshit characters was crooked in front of him.

Let's hit you once.

"How dare you, how dare you! Insulting Sven! Insulting Sven! Wang Tong was so angry that his nostrils were about to erupt into flames, but he felt that the village behind him was full of tyranny and ignorance, and he got up and staggered to his own village, thinking all the way.

Don't think about it, it must be the little Shen family, if he doesn't let Shen Hong's stinky boy pay the price, he is not Wang Tongsheng! As for Lin Piao's brother, who ruined Shen Hong, he had to see how he danced, and then he would only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy and cry bitterly.

Lin Piao was in a good mood after beating Wang Tongsheng, and took Erzhu to catch a few fish in a basket in the river and returned home pretendingly.

After entering the door, Lin Piao patted Erzhu on the back: "Go learn calligraphy, how long has Mr. been waiting for you." He raised his eyes and said to Shen Hong: "Someone brought it back to you." ”

Shen Hong snorted, was tidying up the bamboo slips on the table, holding a small carving knife in his hand, and didn't ask them what they were doing.

Erzhu stepped forward stubbornly, and Lin Piao went to the second aunt's house next door with the basket, and when he saw that the second aunt was not in the yard, he raised his voice and shouted, and only when he heard the answer in the house: "Auntie, I still eat fish in the afternoon, I boil it thickly, and I learn quickly after eating it to replenish my brain." ”

The second aunt came out of the house: "I know! Still doing the same as last time? I've written it down step by step, and you'll see if I'm doing it right. ”

"Okay, I'll go back and bring that jar of wine."

"Just put it in your house, it's a lot of trouble to bring it to my side." The second aunt didn't dare to ask for it, so she was polite.

"Auntie, what is your family and my family, in the future, we will all be together for dinner, everyone says that eating a pot of rice is a family, we are a family."

The second aunt was full of smiles when he said a word, and her heart was very ironed: "Then if you want to say this, you can do it, otherwise it will seem that I am angry, and I will treat you as a family in my heart." ”

"Well, that's it." Lin Piao went home, and made another trip to Erzhu, asking him to move the wine jar over, and then encouraged them again, telling them to calm down and do their studies, and after finishing speaking, they went back to the room to lie down and rest.

In the hall, Lin Piao's voice had disappeared, and Erzhu held the carving knife and sighed heavily: "Alas. ”

"Sigh what." Shen Hong's tone was not gentle, nor probing, there was a stereotype that the two pillars had to explain clearly.

Erzhu didn't hear anything wrong, but he was as nervous as he was, and he also felt that after he and his sister-in-law went out of the door, Shen Hong was even more lukewarm to him, and really looked down on him a little more.

"I think my sister-in-law is really pitiful, my mother said that widowhood is the hardest, she also works very hard, sister-in-law is so good, she has to work so hard, she has to rest when she runs in and out this day." There is also a sentence that Erzhu muttered in his heart, it is really unlucky to bring a son like Shen Hong to you before you get married.

Shen Hong heard him say this, and glanced at him lightly: "The second aunt is really hard, and you feel sorry for her when you succeed in learning." ”

Erzhu patted his chest: "Of course." I didn't hear anything in Shen Hong's words.

At sunset, the sun dyed the sky red, and a ray of sunshine slowly sank in the west behind the clouds, and several people sat in the courtyard of the second aunt and started today's dinner.

Erzhu studied for a day and learned a few words, and it was the time to be proud, as if he had already recognized all the four books and five classics.

Shen Hong was always silent, he was thin and polite, he didn't gossip much, just sat quietly and ate.

Lin Piao saw that his appetite didn't seem to be very good today, so he just drank a bowl of fish soup and stopped, reached out to take his bowl, and filled another bowl: "Drink more, your age is the time to smoke strips." ”

"No need, sister-in-law Xie." He really seems to have eaten his fill.

Lin Piao still put the bowl in front of him: "Do you know that in the future, you need to study hard, what you want is a good body, if you get fame, you have to be slender and good looking to be particularly favored, this meal and one meal, it is your body, and it is your future." ”

Shen Hong was silent for a while, as if thinking about something, and finally lowered his head and drank the fish soup.

As soon as Erzhu heard this, he dried two more big sweet potatoes, and proudly showed Lin Piao his special ability to eat.

After pouring a meal of chicken soup, Lin Piao felt that Shen Hong was not so easy to raise as he imagined, three meals of chicken soup a day, and it didn't fall, but it was really worn out, and he didn't know if he was useful, just thinking about Shen Hong's stuffy gourd, there was a sound of calling the door outside the door.

Lin Piao responded casually, pushed open the door and saw that it was the second dog lady standing at the door, poked his head out and glanced at the second dog father not far away, who was putting down the flat burden, and two big bamboo baskets were stopping at the door of his house. “”

"What is this?"

The second dog lady smiled: "Didn't I come to ask about learning to read and write, I went back and summed up with his father, and my heart was settled, now come to the door, you don't dislike it." The second dog lady said a series of good words to Lin Piao, and the smile on her face never came down from her face, she understood it, although it was Shen Hong who taught and cognizant, but who has the final say now? Lin Piao has the final say.

"Auntie, wait, I'll call Shen Hong over."

"Piao'er, you have done this master, I will let the child come over tomorrow." The monkey in her family went out to have fun after dinner, and they didn't know where to catch it for a while, they were in a hurry to make up something and forget about this stubble, which would not be embarrassed to stand in place, the second dog girl grabbed Lin Piao, and was very affectionate and didn't let him go away.

Lin Piao looked around, didn't see Ergou understood the situation in his heart, and smiled: "That's okay, I'll take it first, let him come over at dawn tomorrow morning, we don't have so much red tape, but we still have to see each other." ”

"I'll make him tense tomorrow morning, and if he dares to disobey, you'll whip him hard."

"That's right." Lin Piao suddenly clapped his hands: "My aunt's land is connected to my house, right?" It's just across a field, and no one at home cares about the land after my father-in-law is gone, and I haven't been to see it for several days, and I don't know what's going on in the field. ”

"It's all good, God appreciates the face this year, and there is nothing planted in the ground that can't grow." The second dog girl looked at Lin Piao's smile, thinking that this brother was so beautiful and beautiful, and she shook her head for a while before she reacted: "Don't worry, we are so close, we can easily take the geography of your home, can you make it bad?" ”

"It's too hard, isn't it?"

"It's not hard, it's a convenient thing, my family has been chattering for the past two days, I can't wait to be bigger, and I don't have a place to use my strength."

The second dog father was silent beside him, and when he heard this, he echoed loudly: "Your little land, it's effortless, I'll take care of it casually." ”

"That's troublesome uncle and aunt, the things in the field are taken care of by my uncle and aunt, and the uncle and aunt who can eat and use it are also your own."

"That is, in the future, we will be like a family, we will open our mouths if we want, and my second dog will ask you to watch more."

The second dog lady told and advised, and the kind words were said over and over again, the second dog father was muffled next to him and did not speak, the three of them pulled for a while, and the second dog lady asked the second dog father to carry all the things into the small courtyard, and when he entered the yard and saw Shen Hong eating, it was another compliment.

After entering the courtyard, the second aunt stood up and wiped her hands: "Sister, big brother, come and eat." ”

Lin Piao decisively flashed to the side, gave up the battlefield to the second aunt, shrunk into the corner and continued to eat the meal he hadn't finished eating, looking up from time to time to observe and learn this pulling tactic.

"Girl, come and eat." "No, no, no, I've eaten." "Why don't you eat, there are a lot of food, sit down and taste it." "Don't sit, don't sit, there are still peanuts at home that haven't been peeled." ……

Lin Piao listened for a while, raised his head and looked at Shen Hong, who was holding a bowl on the side, and whispered: "Let's cook some salted peanuts tomorrow and eat them?" ”

Shen Hong: "......"

Erzhu leaned over: "Okay, okay, can salt-boiled peanuts be delicious?" My mother is fried and eaten. ”

"It's delicious, it's easy to digest, and it's delicious."

The second dog lady saw that she had turned around and left, her ears were pricked up at this moment, and she turned her head at the threshold: "Piao'er, new peanuts are the best!" Let the two dogs bring a basket over tomorrow, and you can cook and eat! ”

Lin Piao's little face suddenly bloomed like a flower: "Thank you, auntie!" ”

Don't be in vain.

Chapter 11

The sky was bright, Lin Piao got up early in the morning, and the cool air outside the window came in, and he wanted to sleep back, but there was no entertainment at night in ancient times, and he slept too early at night, and he held the quilt with his eyes for a while, but he couldn't fall asleep, so he could only get up lazy.

Let's go to bed again at noon.

Walking out of the door and stepping into the courtyard, he turned his head and saw that the door on the other side had been opened, Shen Hong was sitting on the stone steps, holding a bamboo slip in his hand, holding a carving knife in the other hand, lowering his eyes slightly, and carving words one by one.

It was the first time for Lin Piao to get up so early in the morning, and he thought that he had gotten up early enough, but he didn't expect that Shen Hong had already started a day's study by the light of day, so he walked over lightly and walked around to Shen Hong's side to see what he was carving.

Shen Hong doesn't do farm work on weekdays, he hasn't been exposed to the sun all year round, his skin is fair, and he is exceptionally white in the cool air in the early morning, and the fine fluff on his face stands up in the morning mist, and Lin Piao wants to rub his face.

Shen Hong noticed him approaching, raised his head, his eyes bright and restrained: "Sister-in-law got up so early. ”

Lin Piao almost blushed: "It's okay, it's okay, when did you get up?" Don't get up too early, it's important to get enough sleep and be good for your eyes. ”

"It doesn't get up until it's light, and it doesn't hurt your eyes." After speaking, Shen Hong lowered his eyes again and continued to carve the bamboo slips in his hand.

Lin Piao leaned over and took a look, although he only roughly knew a few words, but he could see that it was a three-character scripture, and he was secretly speechless, Shen Hong's hand engraving must have been practiced, and it was carved quite stylishly.

"Have you practiced lettering?"

"When my husband was in private school, sometimes he also used bamboo slips to copy."

"I see, thank you for your hard work."

Shen Hong's hand holding the knife and pen paused slightly: "It's okay, it's not hard." ”

Lin Piao thought to himself that it was no wonder that Shen Hong didn't seem to resist at all when he proposed to use bamboo slips at the beginning, it turned out that it was not an uncommon thing, it seems that the scholars in these years are very poor, even if he is admitted to the Tongsheng Lao Wang, he has to save money by squeezing the bamboo slips carved by primary school apprentices.

As soon as the day dawned, Erzhu was urged by his mother to get up, and he quickly combed and pulled up his hair bun to open the dilapidated courtyard door.

Lin Piao saw that the second aunt had gotten up, searched all the way, and when she entered the yard, she saw that the second aunt was standing in front of the cauldron on the earthen stove and began to boil water.

She saw Lin Piao enter the courtyard gate, trotting in the morning mist and the smoke of the earthen stove, stopping beside her with a very obedient appearance, seeing that she was full of pity, she had an eldest son, who was about the same age as Lin Piao now, although she was not a brother, but she looked at Lin Piao as if she had given birth to a well-behaved brother.

"Auntie got up so early."

"It's still early, I'll have to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms in a while, and the good goods will be picked up by others later, by the way, Piao'er, our eggs can't stand two a day, I calculated, one person, four a day, it's not in the way, right?"

"Don't get in the way, Erzhu's head is smart, and he doesn't lack an egg and a half."
