I got up and rubbed my eyes, put on my clothes, and walked out of the door to see that Shen Hong and Erzhu Ergou were already sitting around the wooden table and started a day's study.

The newcomer Dasheng has also arrived at the scene, he is sitting alone on the side of the corner, and he doesn't seem to have a good relationship with Erzhu and Ergou, but the three of them are all working hard with their heads down, and no one is too lazy to care about anyone.

Ergou studied very seriously, because of this seriousness, the hippie smiling face was gone, and he looked serious.

Erzhu had a bitter face, obviously the appearance of Ergou gave him a lot of pressure, people can be angry more than people, although Erzhu is bitter, but he also took out two hundred points of hard work.

Shen Hong sat in the right position, still writing the three-character scripture with his eyes down, looking at the end of the bamboo slip that had been written, and the two of them were silently reciting strokes below, and they didn't dare to ask him easily for the sake of face.

Shen Hong seemed to have been writing for a long time, and after carving the last word, he let go of the pen knife and moved his fingers and wrists, he raised his head and saw Lin Piao coming out of the room.

"Sister-in-law."

Lin Piao nodded.

Ergou also raised his head and smiled: "Little sister-in-law! ”

Not to be outdone, Erzhu shouted: "Little sister-in-law! ”

Lin Piao could only signal them to be quiet, the teenage child's voice was like a trumpet, and he was noisy.

"Wen Shu well, you don't have to worry about me when I go in and out." After saying that, Lin Piao went out and hurried to have breakfast.

As soon as I entered the door of the second aunt, I saw the second aunt standing up and walking quickly to greet her: "Piao'er, you are so lazy to sleep, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"It's hard work second aunt, is there something wrong?"

"Come and see, the second dog lady came with the second dog this morning, saying that his second dog eats well here, and she has nothing else to give, so she brought a few eggs and a fat hen over, saying that this hen can lay an egg a day, and it can be regarded as the second dog's share of eggs."

The second aunt pulled him to finish reading the big fat hen, and pulled him to the side, looking at the two bamboo baskets in the hall: "Then this is sent by the father and mother of the Dasheng family, there is nothing in it, there are a few catties of red peanuts, a little rice, and a few eggs lying in the rice, I think the rice is good, cook a meal of rice and everyone eats it, Dasheng Niang said that it will be given slowly, and some things will be taken over." ”

Lin Piao walked around and checked everything: "Auntie, why don't you wake me up?" Da Sheng Niang won't be unhappy. ”

The second aunt waved her hand: "That's not it, they came and heard that you were still sleeping, I said to call you, they didn't even say no, they just came to send something, their baby followed Shen Hong to study, I think they are afraid that you will be offended." ”

After speaking, the second aunt began to walk to the stove: "Come on, I'll keep something for you, I know that you have no food in your stomach in the morning and you have to panic, and the eggs are hot and hot." ”

As soon as the second aunt lifted the lid of the pot, the red lotus and eggs inside were revealed, Lin Piao leaned up and hugged the second aunt's arm: "The second aunt is so good to me, she remembers me so much." ”

The second aunt suddenly smiled: "Just your mouth is sweet, eat it quickly, today Shen Hong said that he wants to go up the mountain to do his studies, and by the way, to strengthen his body, he said that you are going to go too?" ”

"How good it is to go for a walk in the mountains, I see that Erzhu has studied too hard in the past two days and is a little depressed, I haven't stepped out of the yard for a long time, and I go out for a walk and live my brain."

"Also, I've been holding back these days, I have to go out and walk around, otherwise I'll be bored just sitting."

Lin Piao ate breakfast, and the second aunt began to prepare lunch in full swing, making mixed vegetable and egg soup, and added a small spoonful of chicken fat to the saved, seeing that the chicken fat jar had reached the bottom, she turned sideways and didn't dare to let Lin Piao see it, for fear that Lin Piao would stew hens again.

"Auntie, where is the place that sells pork nearby?"

When the second aunt heard this, she replied after a while: "We don't have it in our village, either go to the town or go to the next village, there is a family in the next village that raises pigs well, and the town loves to collect his pigs, and then he himself began to kill pigs, so he set up a small meat stall to sell them himself." ”

When the second aunt heard that he wanted to cut pork, she couldn't help but remind him: "But you can't go, you must know that Wang Tongsheng is also in the next village, he was alone when he came to look for you, and there must be no one in the village to help him, but if you go over, you can't say that he will hold a grudge against you." ”

"Okay...... "It's so hard to eat pork."

"If you really want to eat, change your mind and I'll let Erzhu cut it."

"No, you can't delay Erzhu's reading and literacy." Lin Piao resolutely refused, after all, this is the bottom line of the second aunt, so let's think of other ways.

Chapter 15

After lunch, the five of them packed up their things and prepared to go up the mountain, each bringing some steamed soft red lotus to replenish their strength when they were hungry.

Ergou carried the potato: "Little sister-in-law, just bring some with you, there are fruits on the mountain, ground fruits, girl fruits, black and sweet, and we will eat wild fruits when the time comes." ”

Erzhu hurriedly said: "I know me too, I know more than him, sister-in-law, I'll give you instructions when the time comes." ”

"Okay, you two are amazing." Lin Piao thought about the poison of the sun at noon, although it was shady in the mountains, it was inevitable that he would have to bask in the sun for a while on the road, so he went back to the yard and took two bamboo hats and put them on himself and Shen Hong.

Shen Hong put on a hat: "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

"You're welcome, and the two of you, the sun is poisonous, don't get dizzy and hot, I won't be able to drag it out then."

Erzhu patted his chest: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm in good health, this bit of sun poison won't kill me, and Ergou should wear one." ”

Ergou cut a voice to express his disdain for Erzhu: "I don't wear it." ”

The five of them went out, the second aunt stayed at home and prepared dinner by the way, Lin Piao came out with the mentality of stepping into the green, followed by four energetic teenagers, crawling and crawling and feeling that he was going to die.

He was also worried that Shen Hong would be too tired on the way, but Shen Hong looked weak, but he didn't look tired, but his face was sweaty, his skin was a lot ruddy, and his dark and large pupils were very clear, and some of the gloomy aura on weekdays also dispersed.

Lin Piao gasped and chattered: "I talked to the second aunt about cutting meat today, I wanted to cut some meat to replenish your body, but the second aunt hurriedly persuaded me." ”

"Why?" Erzhu asked, seeing that there were outsiders present, and emphasized: "My mother is not a person who picks and searches. ”

"That is, if the second aunt searches people, there will be no generosity in this world, saying that Wang Tongsheng is also in that village, afraid that I will be troubled in the past, the aunt said let you go, how dare I let you go, I don't know if Wang Tongsheng saw you that day, we are estimated to have registered with Wang Tongsheng."

Erzhu wanted to say that he was not afraid of him, so it was a big deal to beat him again, but when he thought that his sister-in-law had told him that he couldn't tell anyone about beating Wang Tongsheng, he immediately closed his mouth and complained: "That person is really troublesome." ”

The second dog on the side was obedient and listened, and immediately said, "I'll go!" I haven't come here when you are studying together, Wang Tongsheng has never seen me, he must not have any impression of me, I will go and come back quickly, and we can eat meat in the evening. Saying that, Ergou sighed: "Alas, it's just that I'm not fast, I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back in the evening, and I won't be able to catch up with dinner, so it's nothing to delay me, but don't delay everyone's meal." ”

Ergou sighed and looked at Dasheng as if he were nothing.

Dasheng hesitated for a moment and stepped forward: "Little sister-in-law, I'll go, I go up the mountain and down the river all day, and the distance is fast, so I definitely can't delay dinner." ”

Lin Piaoxiao glanced at Ergou's slippery head with a smile, "Oh, how is it good?" You just came, and you were asked to run errands before you learned anything, and it wouldn't be worth the loss if you delayed your studies. ”

Dasheng hesitated for a moment, but immediately firmed his attitude: "This is nothing, my mother said, the most important thing here is to honor my sister-in-law and Mr. Shen, it doesn't matter if everything else, cutting meat is also to replenish our body, I should go this way." ”

"Okay, then you go to the village, let the second aunt take some silver money for you to pad first, go back and I will give her the silver money, you go to see the butcher shop, choose a good piece of meat, if there is fat fat, and take another piece with him, we will boil some fat oil and store it in the jar, you remember to negotiate with him, if there are sticks and bones that others don't want, you can also ask him if he can take the meat to us." Lin Piaoxu babbled a bunch of instructions, and hurriedly stopped Dasheng before he was about to leave.

"By the way, inquire about Wang Tongsheng's relationship and affairs in the village."

Dasheng was suddenly a little embarrassed: "This ......"

"Just talk to the butcher and pretend that you want to go to his school."

"Okay, sister-in-law, Mr. Shen, I'll go." Da Sheng was afraid that he still had something to say, so he turned around and trotted away and disappeared into the mountain road.

Watching Dasheng's back disappear from sight, Lin Piaocai said: "Dasheng is a down-to-earth person, and he is not afraid of losses, and he may have a great future in the future." ”

Ergou was smiling beside him: "Of course he is not afraid of eating the losses of Mr. Shen and his sister-in-law, and it is a blessing to suffer the losses of Mr. Shen and his sister-in-law." ”

Lin Piao glanced at him: "Do you want this blessing for you?" ”

Ergou smiled cheekily: "Next time, I'll hurry up with both hands!" ”

"Cut." Erzhu rolled his eyes beside him, and at the same time was secretly vigilant, Ergou was so slippery, he must not be played by him like Dasheng.

The four of them walked and stopped on the mountain, collecting firewood and cutting pigweed, and every time Shen Hong walked to a place, he used small branches to write on the wet soil, telling them how to write mountains, grass, bamboo, and flowers.

Learn to learn the two pillars to benefit the soul: "Little sister-in-law, look at this mountain character, isn't it just like the mountain near us, there will always be some short ones on both sides of the tallest one." He pondered for a long time and patted his head: "It turns out that this is how the words came from." ”

Shen Hong nodded: "The words are all for a reason, not written at will by the predecessors, some are due to the shape, some are due to the intention, you are only getting started now, and when you accumulate a lot, you will naturally be able to understand everything." ”

Erzhu was doubled by Shen Hong's confidence, and he had a convincing face that he would follow the Holy Ancestor Mr. Shen for the rest of his life.

Lin Piao didn't expect that although Shen Hong was young and didn't like to talk, he really said that it was a set, especially after exercising, and even his spirit was much better, and he really didn't lose money this time.

The four of them stayed almost, packed up their things and prepared to go down the mountain, the two dogs carried a bag of pigweed, and the two pillars carried a bag of hard firewood, and when they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, they were about to walk into the big banyan tree in the village, and the three aunts and eight aunts before the cooking were sitting together chatting and peeling peanuts to pass the time, and when they saw the team of the four of them, they all looked sideways.

"Yo! Lin Piao, where did you come from? ”

Lin Piao carried a small basket and smiled reservedly: "I went to the mountains to pick some mushrooms." ”

"Then you should go in the morning, you won't be able to pick any good goods in the afternoon."

"By the way, Erzhu and Ergou also wanted to hunt pigweed and pick up some firewood, so they simply ate and went together."

One by one, their eyes were looking up and down on them, Lin Piao didn't like to take care of them, and walked over calmly, and didn't bother with them much, until they walked by, and a group of people started chattering again.

"This brother is really shrewd, a sweet-mouthed and bitter thing, I see that these little cubs are sold by him and have to help him count the money."

"What are you saying that Erzhu and Ergou want to beat pigweed and collect firewood, and Ergou's family doesn't live over there, so it's not for him to move over."

"Ouch, it's hard to study, my father and mother want to provide eggs for hens, and the little cub wants to help people cut pigweed and carry firewood, but he doesn't have to do anything, and he just has to pretend to be a small basket."

Someone in the crowd laughed twice: "Hua'er mother, you also learn from others, you have such a sweet mouth, and you can't cure your man?" ”

"you, you learn quickly, if I don't learn from that fox spirit, I'm not a serious person."

"I'm not a serious person, but people are comfortable, I originally saw him as a new widow and pitiful, but now he is the most leisurely and happy in our village."

Someone on the side snorted and laughed twice: "I see that his happy life is over, you haven't seen him yet, have you?" My man just came back from there, saying that he was passing by and saw Lin Piao's mother's family coming to the door, I thought, I must be going to tell him about his family again. ”

"It can't be, can it?"

"Why can't it, the man died when he just got married, and the cave house didn't enter, and his mother's family didn't want to marry him again, so let him be widowed like this? The mother who kissed others also thought about him. ”

Chapter 16

"What kind of kissing mother, you're afraid that the news is wrong, his current mother is a woman." The person next to her interrupted her and lowered her voice: "You don't know, Lin Piao's family is a stepmother, Lin Piao's father gave birth to him and then ran away without knowing why, Lin Piao didn't have a name at that time, she entered the door as a stepmother, I heard what the girl in the village next door told me, and later took the name, saying that my brother is an indefinite thing, and the ambition can't be retained, so it's called Lin Piao." ”

The buddies took a sip when they heard this: "It's going to let his mother's fart, what's wrong with her, what's wrong with her, Lin Piao is wild, isn't he also sincerely raising Shen Hong, people are a little fine, and their hearts and eyes are not bad." ”

"That is, when Lin Piao married Shen Song, he received a lot of Shen Song's grain and money, and now he comes to the door again, and he is expected to use him to make money."

After a group of people finished speaking, they had some sympathy for Lin Piao, especially his brother, who couldn't wait to come to the door to watch, and couldn't wait to see Lin Piao sweep his conscienceless stepmother out of the house.

"Let's go, take a look, and see how Lin Piao deals with his stepmother."

A group of people pulled and pangled, and went towards Lin Piao's house in a mighty way.

Before Lin Piao reached the door of the house, he saw the second aunt hurrying out from afar, and as soon as he saw his figure, he shouted: "Piao'er!" You're finally back. ”

"What's wrong, auntie?" It can't be a meat sale, right?

"Your mother's family is here, and your stepmother is also here."

"What?" Lin Piao was dumbfounded.

"You lack a heart, your stepmother is here, she is sitting at your house, your brother, your sister are here, that battle is very bluffing, I don't think it's a good thing, what do you say."

Lin Piao patted the second aunt on the shoulder, looking at her anxious and uneasy appearance: "Auntie, don't worry, let's explore their way and see why they came, and naturally have a way to deal with it when the time comes." ”

The second aunt wanted to say something, but Lin Piao said sweetly: "My aunt believes in me, doesn't my aunt still believe me?" ”

He said it lightly, and the second aunt didn't know what he could do, she always had a feeling in her heart that something was wrong, but as soon as Lin Piao said it, her heart really fell into the cavity, and it wasn't so up.
