Lucky husband

When Mrs. Li passed by, Bai Yao and Bai Zhiwen had just pushed the table behind the door and opened the door.

"Ms. Li." Bai Yao looked at Mrs. Li in surprise, she didn't expect Mrs. Li to come over at this time.

"Master Bai Yao, did you have anything to do last night?" Mrs. Li asked standing outside the yard.

"It's nothing, just a little scared." Bai Yao said truthfully.

They were indeed frightened. She woke up from the first dog barking, and then sat in the main room with her two sons. They didn't go back to sleep until the dog barking disappeared and it was dawn.

"I see that your windows are all sealed. You must remember to close the gate of the courtyard every night, and don't shout if you hear noises at night..." Mrs. Li rambled on.

Bai Yaoshi was very scared at first, but after Mrs. Li came over to talk for a while, she calmed down a lot: "Well, I remember what you said, Mrs. Li."

Old Madam Li nodded. She thought about something just now, and after struggling for a while, she asked, "Master Bai Yao, do you have any weapons in your family? Knives or something."

The Bai family lives next door, and the old lady Li still knows how their family lives on weekdays. The Bai family boy only goes out to fetch water every day.

In the beginning, I actually saw him go out to collect firewood. Later, I don’t know if Bai Yao felt sorry for her son, so she paid for the firewood chopped by the villagers. bundle.

Therefore, Mrs. Li guessed that the Bai family should not have any weapons. If the wolves came, it would be impossible to scare the wolves away with embroidery needles.

After listening to Mrs. Li's words, Bai Yao replied: "There are hatchets and kitchen knives, which should be enough."

Back then, when Bai Zhiwen went out to cut firewood with a hatchet, he cut his hand. Bai Yao felt that his son was working too hard, so he decided to spend money to buy firewood.

"That's good. I'm worried that you don't have a knife at home. I'll borrow one for you when I get home." Mrs. Li said boldly, "We're all neighbors, so you're welcome."

These words are the sincere words of Mrs. Li. There are only a few families in the east of the village, unlike the village center where everyone lives together. The bone-chopping knife I bought earlier, it would be no problem to borrow a hatchet to go out.

Mrs. Bai Yao was very moved when she heard Mrs. Li's words. Now there are wolves coming down the mountain, and every household is wearing a few knives for self-defense. Mrs. Li is willing to lend her a knife. The Li family is really a good neighbor. Heaven has spirits to bless their mother and son.

Old Madam Li didn't know that Bai Yao was thinking these things in her heart, anyway, she just brought the words with her, now is a special period, she also didn't want to stay outside for too long, so she went back.

Bai Zhiwen then went out with an empty bucket to fetch water from the well in the center of the village. Just now he heard the conversation between Grandma Li and his mother. When passing by Li's house, he saw that the door of Li's house had not been closed, so he subconsciously glanced inside. Just in time, I saw Li Mingjin teaching Li Mingyue to recite and read, and two immature voices were reciting the Three Character Classic, which was warm and interesting.

Li Mingjin didn't look up this time, and once again missed the smile on Bai Zhiwen's face.

Compared with Li Qiusheng and Li Mingxia, who were much older, Li Mingyue couldn't sit still at all, and after teaching her twice, she began to twist and twist, which made Li Mingjin want to grab her and spank her.

"Sister Mingyue, do you remember now?" Li Mingjin asked her patiently.

"Hmm... I don't want to learn, what is it, and I don't want to learn, I'm always hungry?" Li Mingyue chuckled, she knew that she had read it wrong, she thought it was not fun to memorize it, and she didn't want to continue memorizing it.

"If you don't learn, it's not suitable for you. If you don't learn when you're young, what's the point of getting old?" Li Mingjin sighed, "It's wrong not to study when you are young. If you don't study when you are young, what can you do when you are old?"

Looking at Qimei who almost covered her ears and didn't want to listen to his explanation, Li Mingjin sighed maturely, hoping that his younger brother would not be like Qimei in the future, he must be a good kid who loves to read, otherwise he would definitely not be able to resist disobedience. I want to be a good brother, so grab my younger brother and beat him up!

The two children were reciting books in the yard, while Mrs. Li, Jiang Zhiyun and Bai Xiuhe were taking out the soles of their shoes in the house.

Bai Xiuhe said enviously: "Third siblings, brother Jin is really good, is it difficult to teach him to memorize? Look at my girl Yue, she is stupid and unwilling to learn. Brother Jin has taught her for so long, but she can't do it." Learn, I can already repeat a few sentences after hearing it, if you don’t learn when you are young, what should you do when you are old, right?”

Li Mingjin taught Li Mingyue today-"If you don't learn, it's not suitable for you. If you don't learn when you are young, what should you do when you are old."

Relatively speaking, Bai Xiuhe didn't remember the previous sentence "If you don't learn, it's not suitable" was a bit of a mouthful, but the latter sentence was quite simple and catchy, so she remembered it after listening to it twice.

As a standard village woman, Bai Xiuhe finds it difficult to read and write. She has an unusual liking for Li Mingjin who can read, just like how she likes her two sons who go to the county school to study.

Jiang Zhiyun probably understood Bai Xiuhe's mentality, she smiled and said softly: "The sentence my sister-in-law read just now is correct. But I don't think Yue girl is stupid. She is still young, and she is lively at this age." When moving, go back to the time when Brother Jin was four or five years old, let him sit in the yard like that for an afternoon and try, he can annoy me so much that I can't do anything."

Jiang Zhiyun didn't say whether reading is difficult or easy, she only discusses the different ages of the two children. Li Mingyue is still young, and when she grows up a few years later, she will be able to sit still and read.

As for the difficulty of reading, Jiang Zhiyun believes that there are too many personal factors in this matter, and it has nothing to do with being smart or stupid, but the cognition and habits since childhood.

Farm children usually don't like and find it difficult to read books because they think reading is difficult since they were young.

I have such an idea in my heart. When they really enter the private school, pick up the book, look at the complicated words one by one, and recite the awkward words, they will feel more and more that reading is a task. It's a difficult thing, and over time, it really becomes the elm head that everyone says can't read.

Jiang Zhiyun brought up the topic of what the children were like when they were four or five years old, and Bai Xiuhe thought of her two sons at that time, as if they were much more naughty than Mingyue.

The age difference between the two boys is not too big, the older one takes the younger one together, if you don’t look at them for a while, they will play mischievous things, making you angry and want to laugh.

Mrs. Li also has a special right to speak on this matter. She raised three sons, and she seemed to have endless words when talking about the three sons when they were young.

Talking, laughing and doing some work, the time passed quickly, Mrs. Li and the three women packed up their things and began to prepare dinner. They ate early and closed the door to rest.

Since the wolves first appeared in Shanghe Village in early July, the people of Shanghe Village have been living like this.

In mid-July, Li Chengshi returned to Li's house from the county government office. Seeing his family members whom he had only separated for half a month but who seemed to have not seen him for a long time, his restless heart finally settled down.

That night, Li Chengshi did not go back to the left room with Jiang Zhiyun, he slept in the main room.

But now that Li Mingjin is a little older and can no longer sleep with his parents, he is arranged to temporarily squeeze in a night with Li Mingyue.

That is to say, Li Mingjin is not yet ten years old, and when he is ten years old, he must not be allowed to share a room with his sister, after all, one is a brother and the other is a girl.

Li Chengshi stayed at home for two nights. After dawn the next day, after breakfast, he went out with old man Li and Li Chengzhi to chop enough firewood for the family. Then he went to chat with Village Chief Bai in the afternoon and returned early. Eat and sleep at home.

The next morning, after the sky was completely bright, Mrs. Li allowed Li Chengshi to leave home and go back to the county office.

Whether Li Chengshi comes back or not has no effect on the life of Shanghe Village. The county government cannot solve such things as wolves and beasts going down the mountain, and the people in each village can only rely on their own defenses.

Because the villagers had already disposed of their own chickens, pigs, and other live poultry and livestock, and then the wolves came twice, but they couldn't find food each time, and they barked so loudly that the villagers were terrified for a long time. .

Under such circumstances, as July gradually passed, Li Mingjin dreamed again.

This time, the content of his dream surprised him again.

Fortunately, the nearest pack of wolves came from time to time. After waking up from the dream this time, Li Mingjin hugged Jiang Zhiyun and cried without fear. She just blinked and looked at the roof, and gradually fell asleep when sleepiness came up.

When he woke up the next morning, Li Mingjin sat on the bed and rubbed his eyes, thinking that last night seemed to be a dream, so he quickly put on his coat and jumped out of bed to find his mother.

Jiang Zhiyun saw Li Mingjin going out in the kitchen: "Brother Jin is up? Hurry up and wash your face, breakfast will have to wait a while."

Since living with Bai Xiuhe and the others, Jiang Zhiyun slowly returned to the previous waking time, helping Bai Xiuhe to make breakfast together.

Li Mingjin looked at his mother, ran over, and said quietly: "Mother, I had a dream last night."

Hearing Li Mingjin say that he was dreaming again, Jiang Zhiyun's heart thumped twice, she was very worried that Li Mingjin dreamed of something bad again.

"Okay, mother will go to the room and listen to you right away." Jiang Zhiyun touched Li Mingjin's head, looked up and said to Bai Xiuhe who was still busy in the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, brother Jin said that Kang'er seems to have peed, I'll go back to the room Change his diaper."

Bai Xiuhe didn't care, and waved her hand: "Third brother and sister, go, I'll be fine soon."

Jiang Zhiyun took Li Mingjin back to the room, closed the door, and asked him nervously: "Brother Jin, what did you dream about?"

"Several wild boars will come down the mountain and enter the village this morning." Li Mingjin remembered the ferocious eyes of the wild boars in the dream, and the burrs all over his body. He said curiously and a little scared, "Mother, the wild boars look different from the pigs raised at home. , The wild boars are black and covered in mud, many people went to the village to kill them, the most powerful ones were Uncle Orion and his two hunting dogs."
