Village Flowers and Female Scholars

The four acres of land that Cao Bin, the eldest son of the Cao family, was finally sold. The buyer was Zhang Carpenter’s family from the same village. After Xie Yan got the rice field fish farming method, I always felt that this method must be very successful in the future. After discussing with my wife, I spent 28 taels of silver to buy the four acres of land.

Cao Bin has never seen so much money in his life. He was overjoyed when he got the money, but he was anxious to the Cao family.

In today's world, a commoner has no skills, and the only thing that can be used to live and work is the land. I don't know how many people outside have gone up to the mountains with hoes to open up wasteland, but the third child of my family sold all the land at once.

Mrs. Cao had a turmoil on the day the two signed the contract between Cao Bin and Carpenter Zhang, and she asked Cai Chu to mediate.

Cai Chu said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to help. Now that you have separated, this land belongs to him. He can't stop anyone who wants to sell it."

The couple were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but no matter what they did, it was of no avail. After the land deed was transferred to Carpenter Zhang, the land would belong to the family, and there would be no further trouble.

The old lady Cao begged her son hard and said: "My third son, if you sell this land, you can sell it. Otherwise, you can give the money to your mother to help you keep it. When the time comes, you can build the house and ask for a daughter-in-law to pass the door. Let's go again." The mountain has opened up barren land, and two or three acres of land have been opened up, but it won't starve to death, will it work?"

Cao Bin flicked his sleeves, ignored her, and went straight to the town with the money.

First, I paid off the twelve taels of gambling debt, and then went to buy a pair of clothes made of good material to the little widow. Her waist was straighter than before.

Widow Zhao looked at the complacent man, knowing that he must have gotten the money from somewhere, so she welcomed him in with a smile on her face, with a more intimate attitude.

Cao Bin took off the bulging money bag at his waist and held it in front of Widow Zhao. The little woman in front of her felt that there was a lot of money in it. She was about to take the money bag, but Cao Bin gave her a hand I took it back.

"You can always live with me now."

Widow Zhao gave him a coquettish smile and said, "I want to live with you, but I have been selling tofu outside these years, and I don't know how to farm for a long time. Then what will we do to support our family?"

Cao Bin said vaguely: "I don't need you to farm, but you can always continue to do this tofu stall, right?"

When Widow Zhao heard this, she felt troubled. Now her tofu stall is rented by her in-laws. If she leaves, no one will be doing it anymore. However, if they are willing to spend some money, they can transfer it out.

After hearing what Widow Zhao said, Cao Bin went to Widow Zhao's in-law's house with a smart-mouthed woman. It is the dowry gift of Widow Zhao.

But the shop and the workshop were not suitable for living in, and the only eight liang of silver left was not enough to buy land and build a house in the city, so the two had to go back to Shangyan Village and built two green houses on the original burned-out homestead. tile house.

After doing this, Cao Bin will have nothing left to buy the land.

Now the husband and wife can only count on that tofu stand for their income.

It's just that Widow Zhao is not a hardworking person. When she married her first husband, she didn't have any children, and she didn't like to do housework. This tofu stand was made by her father-in-law who got up early to grind beans and sold them to her. You need to dress up and sit at the stall every day waiting for customers to come to your door.

It is precisely because of her attractive appearance that even though the tofu is so-so, there are still a lot of men who are willing to patronize her.

Now after the second marriage, the work of grinding tofu will naturally fall to Cao Bin, but this Cao Bin is not the kind of person who can get up early to work. After three days, he can't get up. It was already dawn in the town, and it would be almost noon after the tofu was ground, so there would be no customers at this time.

With the addition of Cao Bin, who is so rude, lazy and dirty, the quality of tofu can't keep up at once, and the number of people buying it has decreased a lot. Only some men who covet the appearance of Widow Zhao come over to tease her. It's fun to say something nasty and refresh your mouth.

But how could Cao Bin allow his own women to flirt with other men, and they drove away many customers. Since then, their tofu stall has been deserted, and no one came to the door.

There is no money to sell tofu, the raw materials have to be bought, and the rent has to be paid every month, but the husband and wife can't pay the rent, and no one takes over when they transfer out, and they are finally kicked out by the landlord.

The house in the village is ready, and there is a place to live, but now there is no land and no other livelihood, the husband and wife lie at home together every day, and have no money to buy rice, so they can only go to the other two houses.

The second son, Cao Hong, was strictly controlled by his daughter-in-law Dou Shi at home. Since the separation, the entire second room has been firmly controlled by Dou Shi. The two sons Cao Xingnian and Cao Xingyue have long been unhappy with their third uncle. If only Cao Bin One person is fine, and now there is one more lazy woman, no one wants to partner with them, if they are relied on, they will not be able to get rid of them if they want to.

For this reason, the second-bedroom family also specially chose another homestead to build a new house.

After the second room moved out, the family had a large family and was supported by the butcher's father-in-law. Cao Bin didn't have the face of the second room to fight the autumn wind.

But Cao Xingshou of Dafang’s family is still there, and the two families are close to each other. The old man Cao and his wife live with him. Parents can’t watch their son starve, so Cao Bin took his wife to Dafang’s house to catch a meal. meal.

Mrs. Cao was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, she twisted his ears and scolded him, but what could her son do, even if he was not allowed to eat, the husband and wife would scoop the bowl into the pot by themselves as soon as they arrived, and they would stop him. Can't stop.

Seeing the momentum, Cao Xingshou couldn't stand it, but his grandparents couldn't let go of his own son, so he could only ask his younger sister Cao Xiaotao for help.

Cao Xiaotao ran back to her mother's house aggressively as soon as she heard it, and scolded Cao Bin, but who is Cao Bin? It's just scolding, and when she leaves, the two of them should continue to squat on time.

As a result, the Cao family was always in trouble, until late one night, several men in black broke into Cao Bin's house, beat him up, broke his legs, and injured him all over his body. Suffering various degrees of injuries, the whole person is directly useless.

Widow Zhao, who had only been married for a few months, saw Cao Bin like this, and fled overnight with her bundles, leaving Cao Bin alone.

So far, there have been two people with broken legs in the Cao family. Cao Xingshou is better. The members of Shisanye’s family were merciful back then. Now he can still walk with a walking stick, but Cao Bin’s two legs are really firm. It was broken, and even one arm was removed. Not to mention walking, self-care is a problem.

Seeing this tragic situation, Mrs. Cao couldn't stand it anymore, and she fainted from crying, but after crying, she also knew that her son was hopeless.

When Cao Xingshou saw Uncle San's fate, he directly asked someone to carry Cao Bin to the half-burned old house, and gave him half a bowl of rice every meal to let him fend for himself, and moved into Cao Bin's newly built house to live there. .

How can the old couple of the Cao family not know who did what happened to Cao Bin, but now that the matter has reached this point, no matter how much they scold them, it will be useless, but the couple are still divorced from Cao Xingshou and Cao Xiaotao.

After this incident, the presence of the Cao family in the whole village became weaker and weaker, and the people around them didn't wait to open their eyes to look at them, and the whole family could not make any disturbances if they left their hearts.

The blood-sucking grandfather's family has come to this point today. The three of Xie Yan's family felt bad breath from the beginning, and then gradually became no longer interested. Now their lives are moving forward day by day, and those who used to Those who have brought harm to them have been trampled under their feet in those unbearable days, and they are not worth mentioning.

Apart from tinkering with her mimeograph machine every day, Xie Yan would go to the edge of the field to observe the growth of her rice flower fish and rice. Of course, the most important thing was to hang out with that female scholar whom she was thinking of.

But it just so happened that Aunt Hua and Mrs. Xiao Hua had a funeral at their natal home recently, and they each took ten days off to go back to their natal home to attend the funeral. The restaurant was short of staff, so Xie Yan had to put down other tasks and go to the store to help, and he was too busy every day .

As a result, the time spent with Zhuang Wan was pitifully small, even if she came back early from the restaurant every day, her mother and younger brother were there, Zhuang Wan herself was busy with some scripts, so she couldn't come here frequently, so Xie Yan gave birth to a child who hadn't seen her for a long time. What it felt like to see her.

Xie Yan was finally able to hand over the work at hand until Miss Hua finished her funeral and returned home. After she came out of the restaurant, she remembered that she hadn't gone to see her own rice for a few days, so she took a detour to the rice field where the fry were kept. .

The weather in May was fine, and Xie Yan was in a good mood as she thought about meeting the scholar in a while, but when she walked near the rice field, she saw two familiar people standing behind a huge rock at the foot of the mountain not far away. figure.

Xie Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he tiptoed to hide behind the big tree.

Xie Yan remembered that the last time she saw Zong Jing and Zhuang Wan together was at the Zhuang's house, when Granny Yu was not there, thinking that Granny Yu didn't go out today, Zong Jing couldn't find her at home, so she made an appointment here.

Xie Yan didn't know how these two people were related, one of them was a female scholar from a small mountain village, and the other was a bodyguard from a bodyguard bureau in the city, but why couldn't they appear together in front of people openly and aboveboard, and insisted on meeting here secretly.

The distance was too far, so I couldn't hear what they said, but I could see Zong Jing holding her hand and touching her head several times, Xie Yan's heart seemed to be filled with lemonade, making her stomach sour.

Xie Yan never thought of exploring the secrets of his girlfriend, but the other party's attitude of not explaining at all still made her feel a little uncomfortable, but even so, she still trusted Zhuang Wan's character and wanted to wait for the day when she would tell her personally Own.

But emotionally, as a lover who has just confessed his love, Xie Yan still has grievances in his heart.

When she got home, she fumbled here and there, trying to keep herself busy and hide the messy thoughts in her mind.

But not long after arriving home, Zhuang Wan also came. Xie Yan was very different. How could she know that she was at home? Aunt Hua and Miss Hua came back a day earlier. Zhuang Wan didn't know about this. She won't come until Xie Yan finishes her work in the restaurant in the afternoon.

It seems that just now at the edge of the rice field, the peeping figure of himself was still seen by that person.

Xie Yan was annoyed in her heart, and she didn't give Zhuang Wan any good looks, and was busy with her own affairs.

But the shovel in his hand was quickly taken by a pair of plain white hands, Xie Yan snatched it again, and turned his back to her.

Zhuang Wan turned sideways to get the shovel in a good-tempered manner, but was pushed away by her shoulder.

"Jin'er..." A flattering voice sounded from behind, it was usually cold but now it contained incomparable pampering, Xie Yan couldn't resist this man's tone at all, let alone she called herself Jin My son, I always called Jin Niang.

"you shut up."

Xie Yan turned around and said viciously, the scene behind the boulder reappeared in front of her eyes just now, which made her feel uncomfortable again, how could this person come to please herself after flirting with others.

hate hate.

Seeing the wronged look of the other party, Xie Yan felt even more angry. She obviously had something to hide from herself and stood so closely with others, but now she looked like she had been wronged by herself.

"Humph!"

Seeing her swollen look, Zhuang Wan reached out to wrap her arms around her waist from behind, wrapped her arm around her struggling arm and said, "Jin'er—"

"What's your relationship with her!" Hearing her voice, Xie Yan couldn't hold back anymore, turned her head to meet the other's eyes, and asked aggrievedly.

Zhuang Wan fell silent for a moment.

Seeing this, Xie Yan broke away from her arm with some disappointment, turned around and continued to trip over the chicken food, and didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Suddenly remembering the letter that Zong Jing asked her to forward, she put down the shovel and walked into the room angrily, took out the letter and stuffed it into Zhuang Wan's hand, saying: "I forgot to give you this letter earlier, but you know I knew the letter was with me, but I never asked me about it.”

Zhuang Wan took the letter but did not open it, because the letter was of no use to her now, her face turned pale at this moment, and she said with difficulty: "Jin'er, there are some things that are not the time to say— It wouldn't be a good thing if you knew."

Seeing her frowning, Xie Yan couldn't help but close her eyes. She really couldn't look at Zhuang Wan's uncomfortable look and remain indifferent. Although her chest was still puffed up, seeing her like this, her heart It has already softened.

"Forget it, I'm not interested in these at all." Xie Yan walked towards the chicken coop outside the courtyard with a basin in his hand.

Zhuang Wan changed her previous image of being a noble and elegant scholar, and ran to Zhuang Wan in three steps at a time, blocking her way, gritted her teeth as if she had made a decision, opened her mouth and said, "Actually—"

"Don't tell me, I don't want to hear it."

Zhuang Wancai's good decision was rejected by Xie Yan, and she couldn't help being disappointed, but she held back in the end, she stretched out her hand to take the basin in Xie Yan's hand and said, "I'll help you."

Xie Yan didn't refuse this time, but he still murmured: "Didn't you say the chicken coop is dirty, why are you rushing to work?"

Listening to her tone, Zhuang Wan knew that the little girl had let her go again, and she didn't refute with mixed feelings of gratitude and bitterness in her heart. She smiled softly at her and said, "It's fine for me to feed you by the side, don't step in."

Xie Yan snorted lightly when she heard the words: "I thought I changed my temper and rushed to work, but I still have that dog temper when I come and go."

A smile appeared on Zhuang Wan's bland face, and she replied slowly: "Even if it's a dog, it's still your dog."

"Bah, shameless."

The author has something to say: Xie Yan: Hmph, dog scholar

Zhuang Wan: woof woof
