Chapter 67
Speaking of this widow Xue, it is necessary to talk about her. She is not a surname Xue. She was married from another village.
This woman was also unlucky. The man died just a few years after he was married. She didn’t have a child or anything, she was alone.
That’s all, the key to her few uncles is not good.
Her man is an old man, ranking last, and when she marries into the door, her mother-in-law is dead, leaving her father-in-law. My father-in-law did not live a few more years. Fortunately, before he died, he divided several sons, and each of them lived alone. Although her man was dead this time, she also reserved two acres of land for her. On weekdays, she had to take out the land and do some needlework, but it was enough to feed her.
But whoever thought that this kind of life had n’t been in two years, several of his uncles drove her home. The implication was that she was a womanish woman. Accompany other men.
The widow Xue did not depend on her, but here, after all, the place where the surname Xue occupies the majority, but in the end the house was left for her, but the land was divided by several uncles.
I originally thought that this woman could not persevere. Sooner or later, she would return to her mother’s house. Anyway, she lived in this house. Normally, she didn’t see her, but she didn’t lack rice. It was the gossip in the village that I often saw men haunting her house.
This matter was a bit vulgar, and the patriarch Xue opened a special ancestral hall to deal with the widow Xue. I do n’t know if this woman is not good at it. It ’s probably because the man was beaten to death. He suffered too much anger and simply broke into a clan with the family.
The patriarch Xue said that she had a bad temper, and she said that the surname Xue was shameless and shameless, robbing the fields, she was a woman and a family, and the land was not reserved for her, how she lived. She also said that she was determined to guard the man, who would not let her guard, she went to the government to sue.
Such a shrew, who has no way to take her, can only get her out of the Xue family’s house. How could she choose a place at the end of the village and ask someone to build the house? For so many years.
I haven’t heard anyone say anything about her in recent years, but her days are still over, and I don’t know where to get the money. Anyway, the villagers mentioned the widow Xue, the men all smiled ambiguously, and the women were all disgusted.
These things happened in the previous year. At that time, Zhaoer and Xue Tingyan were still small, and they all listened to others.
While the two looked at each other, these also flashed in their minds. Then they coincided, and the two of them went from the place where there was a gap along the fence.
The vegetable plot of the widow ’s house is not large, so it looks like half an acre. Although the house is a tile house, there are only two rooms, each with a stove and a barn. She didn’t keep any livestock in her house, she walked quietly all the way, and when she walked forward, she heard someone seem to be laughing.
It was a woman laughing, and there was a man’s voice vaguely.
“… You promised me long ago that you would buy me a hairpin. Now that the hairpins are not there, I still die every day. I am afraid that I will take a big stick and push you out?”
“Are you willing to push me out?”
“I can’t bear it, like you, I’m not uncommon …” The two’s voices were lowered, and only Widow Xue was eating and laughing. After a while, the pitch was a little higher: “You are really worthless as a child. There is an old man in it, and there are women in the house watching. I heard that you have been busy finding a school for your son recently. Did the silver that Yang gave to you coax me again? “
To put this in perspective, Xue Qingshan’s face was somewhat lost, and his face fell on the spot. Widow Xue raised her eyebrows and circulated her eyes, leaning on the past and said, “But if you are willing to coax me, I will accept it. I’m afraid that one day you won’t even coax me.”
This sound is sweet, not to mention that the ears are tingling outside, and Xue Qingshan can’t stand it. Immediately not to worry about Widow Xue, he kissed her again.
The sound inside went down again.
After a while, he heard the widow Xue again: “… But you don’t go out to find a school, what can the Juncai brothers do?”
“You really care about salty radishes, I have an idea …”
Outside, she licked her mouth again and again, she had seen this widow Xue, and she was not very beautiful. She was a Bai Jing Wenxiu, but she didn’t expect it to be like this in private. No wonder the woman in the village scolded her when she mentioned it, and many men in the village were willing to come to her.
That ’s all, if she remembers correctly, Widow Xue is counted from her seniority and is Xue Qingshan ’s cousin ’s wife. This is really …
Thinking of Xue Juncai, he didn’t know where to hide here, and he was very cramped. The son came to catch Lao Tzu’s traitor, but they ran into them and followed. It would be embarrassing if it collided on both sides.
Thinking of this, she dragged Xue Tingyan and motioned him to leave quickly.
It happened that Xue Tingyan had little interest in this, and the two left quietly.
After going back, thinking that Xue Juncai was still inside, I wonder if he would make a big fuss? Or something else happened. But the two held their hearts for a while. Whoever thought about it for a while, saw Xue Jun before coming back.
Is this alright?
While breathing a sigh of relief, the two couldn’t help feeling sad for Xue Juncai, and even had such a dad.
Without pressing, the time of the day passed quickly.
It wasn’t until the evening when the sun went down that the village saw vocals.
The adults and children came out of the house, and even the dog was running around the village, taking advantage of the coolness. It wasn’t until the sky was dark that Xue’s dinner was ready. Now the night is long and the dinner is much later than before. Xue Qingshan will also pinch a little bit, just after dinner, he came back from outside.
Seeing the servant, he seemed to have run a lot of places. Recently, because the weather is too hot, and Xue Jun has to find a school, Xue Qingshan has already given many days off to the school children.
Just looking at this, he must have come back from the outside. Zhao thought about such a hot day. The boss was still running outside. He was so distressed that Yang got water and changed shoes again.
Once busy, the family gathered at the dinner table for dinner.
Xue Qingshan didn’t seem to be hungry, holding the chopsticks and picking the rice in the bowl. Zhao thought he thought the meal was too simple and put some chopsticks into his bowl. He also explained that he would cook chickens at home to improve the food.
“Ma’am, I’m not here for this matter. It’s a matter of being talented.”
As soon as the words came out, everyone on the table looked up at him.
Xue Qingshan simply put down the chopsticks and said to Xue Tingyan: “Tingyan, Uncle has something to tell you.”
Xue Tingyan looked at him.
“Do n’t blame your uncle, her woman and her family are not sensible, and the Qinghe Academy suddenly closed the door, and your uncle distressed the money that was smashed into the house. Asking outside, I also know that Qingyuan Academy is now in its early stages. It is a first-class good school in our township, but the uncle has a soft face. Thinking about your aunt’s trouble, I really have no face to help you go to school.
“But after running for such a long time, I didn’t spend a lot of money on my shoes, and I broke two pairs of shoes. I really didn’t find a better school than Qingyuan. So I wanted to tell you something, see if you can talk to your school Sir, let your handsome brother also go to Qingyuan to go to school. “
Look at Xue Qingshan again, sincere words and sincere face.
If it didn’t come out in the morning, Zhao’er really felt that this person’s character was not good, at least to Xue Jun. But after the morning out, I knew that Xue Qingshan had buckled the silver from the Yangs, and all of them were used to coax the widow Xue, and in front of the family dressed like a tired and hard look, they actually all fooled around in the gentle township. How do you think he has an urge to beat him.
It is no wonder that he is so brazen, this is all thinking about the future. Pinched him to make such a show these days, and picked another time to speak, and the little man would never refuse him.
Even if I want to refuse in my heart, I will not refuse on my face, because Grandpa Xue and Zhao are still watching. Even if he took it outside and said it, Xue Tingyan was unreasonable.
For a moment, Zhao’er really wanted to stand up and tell all the things he saw in the morning, tearing off this man’s fake face. But at the same time, Xue Juncai’s complex face flashed before him.
Zhaoer looked at Xue Tingyan, who had tableware in his hand and was still eating slowly. But from his drooping eyebrows, Zhaoer can see the cold color in his eyes
“Ting Yan, look at what the uncle told you, what is your idea, say a word.”
Zhao interjected: “It’s such a small matter, what idea can he have. Go ahead and talk to your husband, dog, you are a good student, and your husband likes to like it.”
When Zhaoer wanted to say something, Xue Tingyan put down the tableware and grabbed her from the table.
“Yes, uncle, I will go to the school next month, and I will talk to my husband.”
The joy on Xue Qingshan’s face was eloquent, but he was very restrained. The same is true of Yang, even though she is confused, but she is also very happy.
Compared to her son’s studies, she was ashamed.
“Ting Yan, auntie, thank you. The auntie was ignorant before, and she blamed her for wrong …”
“Don’t say it!”
With this sound, it was the sound of the stool being brought down to the ground. The sound was a little loud, and the two small eggs who had n’t looked at it were also scared to see it immediately.
Xue Juncai’s face was very ugly, and he seemed to suppress something. His performance shocked everyone.
“Juncai, what is this?”
“Don’t say it, I won’t go to Qingyuan!” He seems to have a lot of things buried in his heart, and his chest is up and down. These words also seem to make it very difficult for him to speak. He didn’t even lift his head.
Xue Juncai wanted to go outside, but was pulled by the Yangs.
“Juncai, what the **** is this? Qingyuan is such a good school, do you think your mother has embarrassed you before? I apologized to Zhao’er and Ting Yan …”
The Yangs were a bit at a loss.
Looking at such a face, Xue Jun only felt so tired. He didn’t know what to say, he could only repeat the same sentence.
“Mother, I just don’t want to go. Anywhere, Qingyuan can’t.”
“Juncai …”
“If you don’t go, don’t go, you don’t have to go!” Xue Qingshan also stood up suddenly and angrily said: “All the family members are used to you, your father is busy for your business, legs It’s almost running away. Now I’ve found a place for you, and you can’t say it, if you don’t go, what do you want to do? “
“Boss, you only scolded Jun for doing it, you are dizzy!” Zhao cried beside him.
“Mother, when I am willing to scold him, but look at him …”
Xue Qingshan was filled with indignation and excitement. He was very excited and bowed to his son, but his son was ignorant and indifferent.
But all of this rested in Xue Juncai’s eyes, but they all turned into pretense.
“Dad, how do you have a face, how can you have a face?” Xue Jun screamed out this sentence after a hard time.
“I have no face, no face? Well you stinky boy, learn to talk back …” Xue Qingshan raised his hand and tried to beat it, but was embraced by Yang’s.
“Boss, what are you doing!”
The room was so messed up that Xue Jun ran out.
“Anyway, I won’t go to Qingyuan.”
That night, there was a lot of trouble in the big room.
The old couple finally persuaded Xue Qingshan to tell the child well, but not long after going back, the big room was in trouble again. Xue Juncai didn’t go to Qingyuan, no matter what the couple said.
Xue Qingshan said that he lost his temper and almost didn’t hit anyone. Yang cried every day, but he couldn’t convince him. Not only that, the Xue family also took turns to persuade, but he just didn’t go.
Only Zhao’er and Xue Tingyan knew what was going on.
Things just stayed aside.
The time passed quickly and the autumn harvest arrived in a flash.
The autumn harvest has always been the busiest time for farmers, not only to collect food, but this time is also the time to store supplies for the winter. After the autumn harvest, the weather suddenly became cold.
Winter in Yuqing Village is very cold, and Zhaoer’s business depends on the season. Once autumn falls into winter, there is almost no business to do. However, with the profits made in the previous months, it can also have a rich year.
Xue Tingyan still travels between the school and his home, but his studies are much busier than before, because Lin Miao intends to let his four disciples come to a test in February next year.
It wasn’t until the snow began to fall that Qingyuan closed the museum. It will be spring next year when the museum is opened.
Xue Tingyan came home, reading and writing articles every day, and occasionally teaching children to read and write, and it was interesting to live a life. But compared to him, it is more annoying to recruit children. It is impossible to go anywhere when it snows. This is all a loss of money. But who asked her to do a special business is really impossible.
Days passed by day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the New Year.
