Married a scholar

▍Get ready to go into the mountains to find someone! !

After returning to the field, Meng Yining was dragged and questioned by Mrs. Zhang and the others. They basically asked how the old lady Meng was injured. They were not concerned about her injury, but wanted to know whether it was serious or not.

Meng Yining answered their questions one by one, and after thinking about it, he understood. He didn't take it seriously, and he didn't say what he wanted to say about this matter, so he just told the truth.

After listening to Meng Yining's report, the few people were a little bit embarrassed, "It seems that this person still needs to keep some morals."

"That's right, there are quite a few people in the village who are not forgiving." An aunt on the other side curled her lips.

Everyone around knew who she was talking about and couldn't help nodding.

Meng Yining did not participate in their discussion, but turned around and finished all the seeds with Xia Wenze.

After being busy for a long time, all the seeds that should be planted are finally planted.

Someone saw that there was still a small piece of land left untouched in his house, so he asked, "Brother Ning, what do you plan to plant with this piece of land?"

"I'm going to plant something else." Meng Yining didn't want to hide it, but he didn't want to cause more trouble before the thing was done. The thing hasn't come out yet, and it will be troublesome when people find out.

He really didn't want to explain it to others. Instead of wasting his saliva, it's better to wait until the potatoes are planted and see the results.

After lunch, Meng Yining went to ask about the clothes, and Xia Wenze went to look at the bamboo baskets.

The new clothes are ready, but the shoes still have to wait.It is troublesome and time-consuming to accept soles.Meng Yining asked people to do it slowly, and he was not in a hurry. Although the shoes were torn, there was a cloth man at home, so it would be no problem to mend them and wear them immediately.Anyway, I'm working at home, so I don't need to wear such good shoes for the time being.

Meng Yining washed the new clothes and put them on the air. Xia Wenze came back with a few bamboo baskets and a pannier. "Uncle Zhao still has a woven dustpan and a dustpan. I'll bring them back later."

"Okay." Meng Yining flicked the water from his hand, "By the way, see if Uncle Zhao's house has a bamboo rake." Bamboo rakes are better than hands for raking dead tree leaves.

"It seems there is." Xia Wenze thought for a while, he seemed to have seen a new bamboo rake placed in the corner, "I will ask Uncle Zhao to weave some drying mats, and we also need a flail."

"Does that mean we have to cut some bamboo?" Meng Yining thought that the few bamboos cut that day should not be enough.

"Yes." Xia Wenze took a sip of water, "I'll ask Second Uncle Zhao how much bamboo they need, and we'll chop together later."

"Okay, when you come back, go to the Yantang and buy a fish. I want to eat pickled fish." He has smoked fish and pickled fish in his space, but he is a bit craving pickled fish right now.

Xia Wenze nodded, went into the house, took the money and went out.

Meng Yining went into the kitchen and took out the pumpkin seeds from a small cloth pocket. He saw this last night. Xia Wenze said that it was given to him by a mother-in-law in the village, and he forgot where he put it.

Meng Yining was going to stir fry it as a snack.

Speaking of snacks, Meng Yining brought out a few bags of chicken feet with pickled peppers from the space, and he could give them to Xia Wenze to taste.

There was not much firewood left, so Meng Yining grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds after frying and put them in his pocket, then locked the courtyard door with a basket on his back and went to Xiaoqingshan.

Generally, everyone picks up firewood in Xiaoqingshan.

When Meng Yining went, he saw a few children in a circle and didn't know what they were doing. When he got closer, he realized that a child had been beaten by his father. Good friends are comforting him.

Meng Yining took a look, it was a little boy, he also knew it, he was brought over by a woman who married from another village a few years ago.

Meng Yining looked through the memory of the original owner. This kid seems to be called Zhao Shu, originally called Qian Shu. His father died, and his grandparents followed his uncle. The uncle and aunt are snobbish. Life is hard for orphans and widows, and his mother is bullied at home. It was so miserable, I simply asked someone to find someone to remarry with my son.

The uncle's family gave birth to four sons, and his grandparents had no shortage of grandchildren. This kid just followed his mother and married into Zhao Zhenggang's house in their village. Zhao Zhenggang's wife died of illness a few years ago, leaving behind a son and a younger brother. One month older than my little brother.Ranked second in the family.

Looking at the rankings, you can tell that this kid is not favored. There is a senior brother who is fifteen or sixteen capable, and there is a younger brother who can act like a baby. He is in the middle. can speak.

Meng Yining knew that this was not the first time this kid was beaten by his stepfather.

The reasons are all kinds of strange, but in fact, it's just that he doesn't like this oil bottle. After all, he has a son, so he is not bad.

Meng Yining didn't bother, turned a corner and walked forward, but his ears were sharp, and he heard that he was pregnant, so he didn't want to wait for words.

He didn't know exactly why he was beaten this time. He picked up some firewood and left. When he returned home, he saw a few boys gathered around and muttering something.

When he returned home with firewood on his back, Xia Wenze had already returned with a bamboo rake and a dustpan. "I asked Uncle Zhao, and he said that we need to chop seven or eight more bamboos."

"Then cut it down." Anyway, there are plenty of bamboos in the bamboo forest.

"I bought two fish." After putting the fish in the bucket for raising, Xia Wenze handed him some honey.

Meng Yining put one in his mouth, "Where did this come from?" This thing is not cheap, it costs several hundred yuan a catty.

"When I came back, I met a brother in the clan, and he gave it to me." Xia Wenze doesn't like sweets very much, so he gave Meng Yining some honey. "If you like to eat, we will buy some and put them at home next time we go to the market."

"No, I have it here." This honey is made of honey and mint, but honey is expensive, so this thing is also very expensive, but in fact the taste is the same, it is a modern weakened version of mint, There are several boxes of candies of various brands in his space. "Try this from me." Meng Yining took out a toffee from the space, peeled off the wrapper and gave it to him, "This is better than honey."

A sweet taste of milk spread in his mouth, Xia Wenze nodded, "It is indeed better than honey, and it tastes like the milk you gave me."

"Yeah." Seeing that he liked it, Meng Yining gave him a few more, "I have other candies here, and I'll sort them out and give you some to try."

"Okay." At this moment, Xia Wenze had forgotten that he didn't like sweets, and only felt that the toffee in his mouth was more delicious and sweet than many candies he had eaten.

In the afternoon, Meng Yining had nothing to do, so he just nestled in Xia Wenze's room and absorbed the crystal nucleus while reading.

Strength is his guarantee, and the injury of the soul is slowly repairing, so naturally the restoration of the power level cannot be slowed down.

Only when his ability level is restored, will he not be afraid of anyone or anything.

Xia Wenze is practicing calligraphy. When he is tired from practicing calligraphy, he will read a book for a while, and when his eyes are tired, he will take a rest.

The two of them didn't disturb each other, and the room seemed very quiet, except for the occasional sound of pages being turned.

Meng Yining didn't know when he fell asleep, Xia Wenze didn't wake him up until the room was dimly lit.

"Well, it's so late?" Meng Yining stretched his waist, looked at the time, "I'm going to make dinner."

"I'll help." Xia Wenze straightened his messy hair, and followed him to the kitchen.

"Help me get some sauerkraut, remember to get some sour ginger." Meng Yining took the fish out of the bucket, "This fish is quite big." It was grass carp, at least three catties.

"Grandpa Meng Liu said that his fish grow well, and all of them are so heavy." Xia Wenze rinsed the pickled cabbage with water, "Do you want garlic?"

"Yes, you peel some." Meng Yining killed the fish and sliced ​​it into pieces, "Save the fish head for stewing fish head tofu soup tomorrow, let's go to the town to buy some tofu tomorrow."

"Okay." After peeling the garlic, Xia Wenze went to the vegetable garden to pick some chives and came back. Seeing that his fish was almost finished, he hurried to the stove to light the fire again.

A large pot of pickled fish, both of them ate it up, leaving some sauerkraut in it.

While rubbing his stomach, Meng Yining said, "You can save the noodles for tomorrow." The sour soup noodles tasted great too.

"Don't just sit there, Brother Ning, get up and take a walk." Xia Wenze didn't eat enough, but he ate a little more than usual at night.

"Okay." Meng Yining burped, and walked slowly to the yard to digest.

Xia Wenze followed behind him, and the two talked in circles while digesting food.

After turning around a few times, the two boiled water to wash and go to bed. Before the water was scooped out of the pot, they heard shouts from outside.

The two looked at each other, then stood in the yard with a lamp and looked into the village.

"Zhao Shu."

"Count the boys."

"Go to Xiaoqingshan to look for it first, you two go to his grandma's house to have a look, don't go back there."

"What's the matter?" Meng Yining stepped on his feet and looked over there.

"Looks like he's looking for someone?" Xia Wenze frowned, "Count the boys? Is it Brother Zhao's stepson?"

"Yes." Meng Yining told him what happened in the afternoon, "Don't you just run away from home because you were beaten?"

"It's from the big black sky." Xia Wenze took a look, and saw that the torches in the village were divided into two parts, one part went to Xiaoqingshan, and the other part went to the other side of the river. "Let's go, neither of us can help."

"Okay." Meng Yining took a look, then turned and entered the room.

Can always hear voices in a daze.

When he woke up, it was already broad daylight.

Meng Yining yawned, rubbed his eyes and got up.

When he came out, he saw that Xia Wenze's complexion was not very good. Meng Yining asked him vaguely while washing, "What's wrong?" His complexion was so bad early in the morning.

"I didn't find the boy after counting." Xia Wenze didn't have much impression of that child. He always studied in the school when his hand was good, and moved to the entrance of the village when his hand was bad. In addition, the scars on his face were scary, so he tried to avoid those children as much as possible.

"Didn't go back to his grandma's place?" Meng Yining spat out the toothpaste froth in his mouth, "Have you looked in the mountains?" Don't you just go to the mountains.

"Fourth Uncle and the others are also worried about this." Xia Wenze put the porridge on the table, "I didn't get up long after I got up in the morning, and Fourth Uncle came to look for it."

"Huh?" Meng Yining swallowed the egg in his mouth, "Are you planning to organize people to search in the mountains?"
