Master of Physiognomy

Zhangjia Village is a village located in the south. In terms of scenery, it is first-class. In addition, the village is very close to the town, and the development has become more and more rapid in recent years. The tree, I don’t know how many years it has grown, and there is a stone table under the tree, which is also some years old, and the villagers always like to gather around there to talk, from here you can see people returning to the village at a glance.

Since two years ago, there has been a resident user on this stone table. A little doll in old clothes will sit obediently on the stone stool next to him every day, holding a dilapidated dictionary in his hand. Waiting for the family to come back there, talking about this child, everyone in the village feels it is a pity. Although he is thin, he looks like a golden boy in the sky. There is no such good-looking one in ten miles and eight villages, but he is a little fool.

The incidents in the Zhang family were very noisy, and everyone nearby knew about them. To be honest, not many people here are used to the Zhang family's mother-in-law. Not to mention anything else, his daughter-in-law is of the highest character. She is good, her job is not bad, she is filial, sensible and diligent, there are several such women these days, but some of them are just not satisfied, thinking of ways to destroy the relationship between the young couple.

Speaking of it, Wan Tingfang was unlucky. She finally gave birth to a big fat boy, but when she grew up, she found that she had some brain problems. Her child could be called Mom and Dad at seven or eight months, and she could start talking when she was over one year old. The child didn't speak until he was two years old, and he can sit up all the time when he is usually asked to sit. He looks a little silly. Although he looks good, he will probably be raised by the Zhang family for the rest of his life.

Outsiders don't know that it's because Edson is too shy. As an adult, he calls a woman younger than him his mother. This has to be brewed, and adults always learn a foreign language faster than children. When he was fully able to use the language of the world, he was judged as a fool by the outside world. But at this time Wan Tingfang began to teach the children to read, and Edson was surprised to find that the characters were exactly the same as the classics he had memorized in his previous life. went in.

In the eyes of ordinary people, children should be noisy, lively, and cry-loving. Edson did the opposite, sitting obediently at the gate of the village with a dictionary in his hand every day. How could outsiders know that he could understand it? The child was in a daze, so the title of fool was implemented, which made Zhang's mother's dissatisfaction with the mother and son reach a new height. At first, Zhang Dasheng wanted to mediate, but his mother talked about it every day. There is also a trace of dissatisfaction.

When Mrs. Liu came over, she saw the child holding the book obediently. The dictionary Wan Tingfang picked up from the garbage station was bigger than the child's face, but the little guy did look good. Mrs. Liu sighed, Thinking of her unpregnant daughter-in-law, she thought to herself that such a cute child, although her brain is a bit slow, why is there any dissatisfaction with the Zhang family's mother-in-law: "Dabao, you are reading a book, how many words did you recognize today?"

The child who was named Zhang Dabao puffed his cheeks. He thought he didn't understand when he was given this name. After he understood it, he realized that he had got such a vulgar name. It's a pity that the defense period has passed. Edson had no choice but to be called Dabao Dabao depressed. God knows that there are four Dabaos in this village. Thinking about how respectful he was called Master Dabao after he became famous, the scene was so bright.

Seeing that the child was staring at her blankly again, Mrs. Liu sighed, touched the child's little head, and said with a smile: "Aren't you waiting here for mother to come home, Dabao, have you had your lunch?" Aunt Liu asked this question for a reason. Originally, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not good, and she didn't bother to intervene, but the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family went out to work, and the child stayed at home, but mother-in-law Zhang didn't care about anything. No lunch was made for him.

Edson naturally understood what he meant, nodded and said nothing. To be honest, he didn't have any feelings for that grandma. The woman hugged him when he was born, and later made up his mind to find a new wife for his son. He also became indifferent, and later he was even more sneering and sarcastic, usually pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and today's lunch was reserved in advance by his mother last night.

Mrs. Liu was still talking, but Edson stood up with bright eyes, and ran quickly to the path outside the village. There was a woman walking back quickly, with sweat on her delicate cheeks, she was born and raised. Mother, Edson felt that maternal love was the greatest feeling in the world. He remembered clearly what this woman had done for him. He enjoyed the warmth of a family for the first time in two lifetimes, so the man naturally remembered it in his heart.

Wan Tingfang saw her son running over from a distance, with a sweet smile on her little cheek, that was the child she was born in December of her pregnancy, no matter how many gossip outside, no matter whether he was What a fool, this is her own child, every time she sees this child's smile, she feels that no matter how hard it is, it is worth it: "Mother's good baby, did you study hard today?"

Edson was picked up immediately, his face blushed but he nodded obediently, Wan Tingfang kissed his forehead lovingly, this child may not like to talk, and his reaction is slow, but he is very good at learning. But she has a rare talent. Whose three-year-old child can learn by herself with a dictionary. If she has money, she really wants to take the child to check it, but the mother-in-law is in charge of the family's finances. Not enough to go to a big hospital.

Thinking of Wan Tingfang like this is also a bit frustrating. Could it be that his son is being delayed? Seeing his mother frowning, Edson stretched out his hand to rub her. It took nearly two years for him to almost understand that The content of this classic is just more difficult to digest. The theory of alchemy is far from that of physiognomy, and even contradicts each other. Edson does not want to give up either, and the difficulty of combining the two into one is obvious. .

"I read several pages today. Mom, I can walk by myself. I'm very tired from holding me." Edson was still a little unaccustomed to his childish voice, and Wan Tingfang felt shy in Wan Tingfang's eyes with his shy appearance. , smiled and kissed her son's fair little cheek, Wan Tingfang said she was not tired and walked home with the child in her arms.

The house of the Zhang family is considered poor in the village. In fact, according to the salary of the couple, it should have been built a new one long ago, and it can be repaired if it is great. Unfortunately, the money is in the hands of the mother-in-law. She also plans to build a house similar to the village chief’s house. Marrying the daughter of the village chief's family, of course, is not willing to spend money to let the current daughter-in-law live well.

When Wan Tingfang entered the door, she immediately saw the dirty clothes piled up under the eaves of the corridor, including her mother-in-law's underwear. He didn't even wash a single piece of clothes. He looked at the kitchen, and there were indeed leftover dishes from lunch.

Wan Tingfang didn't argue with her mother-in-law either. If she talked about it, there would be another quarrel in the end. She rolled up her sleeves and started cleaning the house. Edson wanted to help, but others were too small to help, and Wan Tingfang absolutely refused. The son who was willing to do these housework smiled and set a small stool for him to continue reading.

When the smell of dinner came out from the kitchen, Granny Zhang finally came back, she found a stool to sit under the eaves and cracked melon seeds, she didn't go to see her daughter-in-law to tease her grandson, and when Zhang Dasheng came back, the house would be full of food. It was time for dinner, and no one in the room was talking, so Wan Tingfang fed her son with a small spoon.

Granny Zhang saw egg custard in the child's bowl at a glance, and she snorted with a bad face, and said to her son in a strange way: "Look at the food at home, the two of us who are in charge of the house eat bran and drink water. This little thing eats rice every day." They all eat egg custard, this thing is very expensive, those who don’t know really think that our family is a million-dollar household.”

Wan Tingfang ordered a meal, but she didn't say a word, and fed the food to the child neatly. If she got her own salary back, it would be enough for the child to eat eggs every day, and the chickens at home were still taken care of by herself. But the mother-in-law didn't care about anything else, she was thinking about picking eggs every day, and then looked at the son sitting on the small stool, because he didn't eat well since childhood, and he was not as big as the two-year-old child next door.

Zhang Dasheng didn't speak, he ate his supper in a muffled voice, and walked out with a set of bowls and chopsticks. He didn't want to listen to his old lady's laughing and scolding, and he didn't bother to answer his wife's grievances. He had endured it for so many years. At the beginning, Tingfang thought he would coax her, but now she was disappointed enough, and took the child into the house after eating.

Granny Zhang is not so easy to let go, she shouted and cursed outside: "Yo, you are wronged, you really think you have given birth to a baby, I don't know if your fortune-telling father did something wrong, otherwise If so, how could my grandson be anything? Even if you feed him dragon meat every day, it won’t get better. This family really can’t live a life. The daughter-in-law is not filial, and the grandson is a fool. If you have a conscience, get out of here quickly. If my family hadn't taken you in back then, you wouldn't know where you died!"

Wan Tingfang's eyes were reddened by what she said. After all these years, if she didn't understand what her mother-in-law was embarrassing herself for, she would be a fool. At the beginning, she never said that her family was a good family. Well, even if she returned to the village where she grew up, she wouldn't live such a useless life.

But after touching the child in her arms, Wan Tingfang calmed down again. She can get a divorce and lose face, but the child cannot live without a father. Thinking of this, a woman can only wipe away her tears and let the child play by herself , She took out a few gadgets and sewed them up. These things can earn pocket money, and her mother-in-law took her salary. If she didn’t have money to own a house, the children wouldn’t even be able to eat an egg.

The bridge of the nose is flat and sunken, the eyes are fierce, the cheekbones are too high and exposed, and the eye sockets are wide. Granny Zhang has a Kefu look, and there are moles on the left and right faces. She is jealous and fond of talking. Her mother Wan Tingfang was originally from IKEA Zhang Dasheng's good looks, but a black scar at the corner of the left eyebrow abruptly brought catastrophe to the fate of marriage. It should be on Zhang Dasheng. Learning physiognomy or bumps in life, we all know that if the mother and son continue to stay in this family, it is estimated that they will have no peace for the rest of their lives.
