Chapter 5 Fake politeness VS true honesty
but......
"Our family is not much of a scholar. We still have a few incense sticks, but we never have paper or pen."
Hearing her daughter-in-law looking for pen and paper, Song Haopo whispered something in a low voice, and then glanced at Chen Dongyue several times furtively.
I don’t know what her grown-up daughter-in-law ate this early in the morning, and why was her face so shiny?
Song Yang, who was carrying a hoe and getting ready to go out, also whispered: "I can't read, what are I going to do if I need paper and pen?"
But after he finished talking, he remembered Chen Dongyue's fierce fist in the middle of the night yesterday, so he hurriedly took several steps back towards the door, then tripped his left foot over his right foot, and fell smoothly to the door of the courtyard.
Chen Dongyue looked at Song Yang like a fool, then raised her eyebrows and pointed at her nose, "I can't read?! I..."
Although she graduated from the Institute of Physical Education and did not have a deep understanding of culture, she was still a full-time undergraduate and had taken the college entrance examination, right? !
How could it be possible to be illiterate? !
But then she thought about it, these days it is true... let alone women, in the old Song family, apart from Song Ke, who knew more than a hundred characters and could read military reports, the rest of the people knew the characters, The total is estimated to be less than ten words.
Otherwise, Xiaomi wouldn’t have doubted his life.
Now that he has shown such a high cultural level, Chen Dongyue cannot explain it clearly.
Okay, okay, this is not the time to get angry with children.
So Chen Dongyue nodded in recognition, "Ah, yes, I am illiterate. I will ask Grandpa Clan to write a letter to... the Ministry of War, asking for news about Song Ke!"
The grandfather's house she was talking about was actually Song Bufan's house.
This Song Bufan had studied for several months before. Among the old Song clan, he could be regarded as a cultural person. Usually when people wanted to write simple contracts or letters, they would go to Song Bufan.
Chen Dongyue didn't know about other families, but there must be pen and paper in Song Bufan's house.
She asked Song Bufan to write a letter for a while. She didn't plan to send this letter out.
Chen Dongyue was making nonsense about the Ministry of War. In fact, she had no idea where Song Ke's army was under its jurisdiction.
She went to find Song Bufan with no money, and her only purpose was to get some pen and paper from him. Chen Dongyue felt that she was so smart, so as soon as she finished speaking, she raised her legs and wanted to walk out.
But after walking only three steps, she remembered the ways of the world.
So the man turned around, returned to the room, picked up the bowl on the table, and walked out of the room again.
Farmers generally only eat two meals and have no habit of eating breakfast, let alone eating any meat in the morning.
So when Chen Dongyue threw a bowl of hoof meat separated with a knife on the small square table in the yard, everyone in the Song family yard fell silent.
What's going on? Is this...the whole family is going to join the army or what to say? There was actually a lot of meat to eat so early in the morning. Does this mean we want to go on the road together?
"Dongyue, this..." Song Haopo was shocked, her voice was trembling, but before she could say anything, Chen Dongyue had already put another hoof in the rice basket and raised her leg. go out.
She didn't bother to explain.
Instead of talking nonsense, it is better to skip the communication link. Chen Dongyue's once domineering persona actually saved her a lot of trouble in this regard.
The four people in the yard looked at each other.
Xiaomi, who had just woken up, rubbed his eyes a few times, and then patted his cheeks twice, "Am I asleep or awake? Is this meat?! How can this be meat? Where is this? Meat here? Why is there meat..."
Xiaomi kept asking questions, but no one in the yard could answer them.
Song Yang, who was increasingly puzzled by Chen Dongyue these days, suggested, "Let's not eat this meat yet, in case this poisonous woman... Xiaomi, don't eat it!!!"
With their backs to Xiaomi, the Song family's mother and daughter, who were listening to Song Yang's speech, turned their heads and saw Xiaomi holding a piece of plump, shiny meat in her mouth, her eyes blurred...
A five-and-a-half-year-old baby doesn't think too much at all. The child's first reaction when seeing meat is: eat it.
So even though Song Yang was constantly speculating whether the bowl of meat was poisonous or whether it was Chen Dongyue's conspiracy, Xiaomi still bit the fat and didn't let go.
She also greeted Song Haopo and Song Yun, "Grandma, sister-in-law, you guys eat meat, this meat is so delicious.
My uncle is stupid. When he ate the buns yesterday, he didn't think it was poisonous, but now he said the meat was poisonous. He didn't know what he was thinking. "
As soon as these words came out, Song Yang suddenly lost his temper.
Also.
Yesterday I was so happy eating the steamed buns given by others, but now I heard that the meat was poisonous... I was really a bit... anxious and didn't even make it.
Song Haopo also said: "I think Dongyue has become kinder than before since she fell down. Otherwise..."
Before Song Haopo finished speaking, the well-behaved Xiaomi had already put a piece of meat in everyone's bowl.
The movements were so fast that the adults in the yard didn't know when she went to the kitchen to get the empty bowls and chopsticks.
Song Yang said that Chen Dongyue must have bad intentions, but the drool flowing out was really deceiving.
Ah, what an insidious woman, she can actually use such despicable and irresistible tricks...
While Song Yang was eating the plump and soft meat skin, he thought that he would definitely do it next time! Absolutely! Absolutely absolutely! I won’t be so dissatisfied anymore.
......
When Chen Dongyue walked to Song Bufan's house carrying a rice basket, Song Bufan happened to be going out to do farm work.
Seeing that it was Chen Dongyue coming with the rice basket, Song Bufan smiled very politely and led her to the yard.
Song Bufan originally thought those two buns were stuffed with wild vegetables, but when he opened them last night, they turned out to be stuffed with meat.
The key is that the meat is very big and fragrant~~~
He couldn't control himself and gnawed all of his youngest son's buns. The child howled about it until midnight, but was beaten by him before he fell asleep.
When he saw the rice basket in Chen Dongyue's hand, Song Bufan's enthusiasm almost burst out from his seven orifices.
"Dongyue, sit down, Shuihua, go get a glass of water, Tugen, hurry up and sweep the vegetable leaves on the ground, Shuihua Niang, hurry up and stop working, Sister Dongyue is here~~ ~”
Song Bufan's whole family gathered around Chen Dongyue and chatted busily. The yard was filled with dust because they had swept the soil too hard...
Chen Dongyue kept coughing, and quickly stopped the panicked people, "Stop scanning, cough, cough, clan grandfather, I cough, cough, cough, and I just want to write a letter to you!"
As soon as he heard that Chen Dongyue was about to write a letter, the excited Song Bufan gave his son Tu Gen a slap on the head, "I can't even sweep the floor. There are dust everywhere. Go and clean up my pen, ink, paper and inkstone." get ready."
Tugen, who had been hit a bit, was used to his old father's care for him. The child touched the back of his head, said "Hey", and ran to the main room kicking.
Shui Hua brought water to Chen Dongyue and walked away silently. At this moment, only Song Bufan and Chen Dongyue were left in the dilapidated yard of Song Bufan's house.
At this time, Chen Dongyue took away a piece of cloth from the rice basket, and then handed the rice basket to Shui Hua Niang, "Grandma, please mend these hoofs for the two children."
Shui Hua Niang widened her eyes and didn't dare to accept it, mumbling, "I don't dare to do this, I don't dare to do this, your gift is too heavy, it's not easy for anyone these days, Dongyue, you should take it back to your family Eat it, kid.”
"Yes...yes." Song Bufan clenched his back molars and held back the saliva that was about to drip.
Chen Dongyue replied happily: "That's okay." Then she took back the rice basket she handed out.
Song Bufan on the side fell off the pony with a bang...
