Civilian Edition Traveling Farming Diary

Want to sleep in?

Just think about it.

We got up early in the morning, Mr. Feng went to see the decoration, Rong Niang wanted to rest at home, and Chen Xiang and I were going to Zhuangzi to see the shed.

I had to arrive earlier than the people from the government, so I got up quite early, but I just opened the door of Zhuangzi, and they came before I even finished stretching.

Si Nong looked at me in surprise, and said with a smile that this matter should be done as soon as possible, the sooner it is promoted, the better for the people, and the higher authorities are pressing the task very tightly.

I suddenly feel that this dynasty is still very good. The superiors are sincerely thinking about the common people. Fenglai’s ex-boyfriend is indeed a Mingjun, but he is a bit... a kind of helplessness and sadness in being a boyfriend. Is alone.

The land in Zhuangzi has been turned over once, and the ground is freezing hard this season. Those two cows have worked hard. During this special period, you also have to make some contributions to Jiangshan Sheji!

They measured in my Zhuangzi and planned to build ten greenhouses, leaving some open space for my own use.

Each greenhouse is not big, which is limited by technology, because the oil paper is used, which is also paper, which is easy to break, and they also have to consider the cost issue.

Generally, the main body is covered with sand and stone, and then bamboo strips are used as the skeleton in the middle to support the oiled paper. Considering that the oiled paper is easy to break, the arrangement of bamboo strips is relatively dense.

Cover the oiled paper with a thin quilt of linen. The quilt is covered with straw. There is also a layer of straw curtains on the outside and a curtain on the inside. It must be covered every evening. The oiled paper is wet and torn.

Everyone did what they said, and immediately got busy. There are four experts watching here, and I have nothing to worry about. In fact, I really don’t need to worry, because they are more professional than me, and I just proposed It's just a concept.

I told Lao Zhu to boil hot ginger soup at all times and steam some meat pies for the workers to eat and drink. Lao Zhu called his son and daughter-in-law over, and the family was busy doing logistics.I don't need to be responsible for the three meals. The government sent ingredients and cooks. We only need to provide pots, firewood and water.

Chen Xiang and I walked around the Zhuangzi several times. Seeing that we had nothing to do, and everyone was busy and didn't have time to talk to us, I greeted the manager and said to go out first.

Chen Xiang and I went to the orphanage.

Probably because there is too much pain and sorrow here, on the way to the orphanage we have a slight sadness.

This feeling was even stronger when I arrived at the orphanage.

It was a large yard surrounded by overgrown grass, a dilapidated scene where everything was withered.

We involuntarily slowed down, and I felt that Chen Xiang was a little nervous holding my hand.Probably because I watched too many TV dramas, my impression of this kind of place is always similar to the Lenggong, where there will be madness, crying, sickness and death.

But in fact, it’s okay, the yard is relatively clean, surrounded by a circle of large and small rooms, it can be seen that it has not been repaired for a long time, the window paper of many rooms is torn, and some traces of repair can be seen .

There was no one in the yard, probably because it was cold and we hid in the house. We looked around and didn't know what to do. At this moment, a few children ran out. They were dressed in rags, but they were very Happy, running wildly and laughing together.

When they saw us, they immediately surrounded us. An older child asked us if we had come to give alms.

We gave him the money we had and told him we wanted to see if there were any suitable workers here.

The kid had a little red mole between his eyebrows, and he looked like he could be twelve or thirteen years old. After hearing what I said, he said, "Then you have to talk to Mr. Ding."

I asked him where Mr. Ding was. He pointed to the backyard and said he would take us there.

The other children were also very curious and followed us to the backyard.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw the Mr. Ding that the little brother was talking about. He was a cleanly dressed man who looked about 30 years old, a little older than me, and had a little beard. He was sitting On the slate steps, he bandaged a child's wound on his finger. The child was crying. He wiped his tears and comforted him with suicide. He looked like a very gentle and stable man.

The little brother yelled that Mr. Ding was looking for someone.

Mr. Ding looked over, he stood up and walked towards us, and said softly: "Are you two here to give alms?"

I asked, "Does anyone here often come to give alms?"

He shook his head: "Rarely, but every time someone comes, the children will be very happy."

The little brother gave Mr. Ding the money in his hand, Mr. Ding touched his head, and he ran away with a smile.

He gave people a very friendly feeling, and I even felt my mood slowed down. I said: "We are not here to give alms, we have opened a shop in the city, and we need some people who can sew, come and have a look Is there anything suitable here?"

Mr. Ding was surprised and asked, "How did you come here to recruit workers?"

I said: "We didn't think of it until after the war. Many girls and brothers suffered in the war, and some were even homeless because of it. We thought that if we gave them a job, maybe we could give them a new life." .”

He was even more surprised: "Just for this?"

I nodded.

He said, "Just to help others, without selfishness?"

Chen Xiang and I looked at each other, and Chen Xiang asked, "Do you have any concerns, sir?"

Mr. Ding sighed: "It happened before that the girls were tricked into buying the place of fireworks, so I had to be careful."

And this kind of thing, that's really abominable, the people here are already miserable enough, and being treated like that...it's really worse.

So I said: "Mr. Ding can rest assured that our shop is called Banzhan Liuguang. I can take you to see it in the city. We also have a few female workers in this situation. You can ask them. "

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ding quickly bowed to me and said, "So it's Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry."

Uh... I'm quite famous ha...

I quickly supported him and said, "What kind of adult am I? I'm not just a commoner. Don't be too polite. No one around me is as polite as me."

He smiled and said: "You are our hero. Since you are you, I can rest assured. There are some girls and brothers here who can be female celebrities. On weekdays, I will also help them with some mending work. They do very well." good."

He called the child with broken fingers to give some instructions, and the child ran to find someone.

We started chatting, I thought he was an administrator sent by the government, but I didn't expect that he was actually a volunteer for voluntary service.

He said that his name was Ding Nan, and he grew up here. Those poor adults squeezed money out of their teeth to raise him. Qian, opened a small shop selling dried fruits, and returned to the orphanage by himself, voluntarily taking care of the people here, either in the shop or in the orphanage every day.

He said that he was confessed by the people here, and he must not forget the kindness here, and since he has the ability, he will come back to help the people here.

It’s just that his dried fruit shop is small and he doesn’t earn much. It’s impossible to feed and clothe all the people here. Just keeping them from starving to death or freezing to death already makes him feel very strenuous.

After the war, more people came here, and his shop was also destroyed in the war. Now the business is bleak, and everyone's life is even more miserable.

Both Chen Xiang and I admire him very much. This is the real good man, and this is the real reincarnation of Buddha.

Chen Xiang even wiped the corners of his eyes and was moved to tears.

After a while, more than a dozen people came from the backyard, all of them were women and brothers. Ding Nan said that their embroidery work was not bad, and then told these people about my recruitment. There was hope in the eyes of these people. The brilliance...the brilliance really rose, I saw their dim eyes light up!

I'm sorry to say that I can't use so many people for the time being, so I can only pick some. Ding Nan said with a smile that this is already very good, even if you can pick one, it will be a great merit.

Chen Xiang took out some fabrics and needles and threads from the package he carried with him and distributed them to these people, letting them embroider and sew whatever they want. We will come back in two days, according to the finished product.

They cherish the needles and threads very much. Someone asked if they hadn’t picked them up, would the needles and threads be taken away? I felt a sore nose, and Chen Xiang’s voice was also nasal. He said no, these fabrics and needles and threads would be given away. They are gone.Everyone is very happy.

We haven’t seen such a sad scene for a long time. After coming to Fengzhou, our life is getting better every day. We almost forgot the cold winter in the refugee village that can freeze people to death, and there are people who work hard from dawn to dusk for a penny or two pennies. .

There have always been people struggling to survive. We should not forget that this is a social responsibility that everyone in society should undertake. However, I do not intend to help them in vain. What I want is to teach people how to fish. I hope to find a way out so that these things can be done with work, so that I can support myself through my own hard work and regain my dignity as a human being.

It was almost noon after we left, and when we returned to Banzhan Liuguang, we happened to meet Cui Changyu, who came to cook dinner. It was snowing sparsely, so we didn't get out of the car, let him get in the car, and sent him home first.

Unexpectedly, it was really... Fortunately, we went, because something happened to his family.

When we got to the door, we saw a small carriage parked in front of his house. Beside the carriage was Young Madam's close maid, Xiaoru.

Cui Changyu's face changed immediately, and then we heard a scream from inside the room, it was Qingping's voice, we were all frightened, Cui Changyu threw away the lunch box and ran home, Chen Xiang and I followed closely, my heart As tense as a drum beating, it turned into horror as soon as he entered the door.

Mrs. Cui Wei Yuanxia held a sharp knife in her hand and was facing Qingping, screaming for Qingping to return her husband-in-law, while crying.

Qingping protects the child in her arms and moves step by step towards the corner, terrified and shivering.

Fortunately, the young lady was not very close to the ground. Cui Changyu rushed over, pushed the young lady away, and slapped her backhand. The young lady was thrown to the ground by surprise. The situation of Ping and the child.

Qingping was terrified, the child was crying loudly, Cui Changyu frantically coaxed her, and I stood still in the outer room looking at the young lady who fell to the ground with tears all over her face.

The sharp knife fell not far from her. She looked at the knife and wanted to get it with a face full of despair. I was afraid that she was going to commit suicide, so I quickly kicked the knife away.

The young lady didn't touch the knife, she looked at me blankly, and murmured: "Mr. Zhang, are you going to have trouble with me?"

When I saw her looking so hopeless in her life, she got stuck in a corner and couldn't get out, I just felt so painful in my heart. I didn't know her very well, that is, I met her once or twice, and I didn't even say a few words. It's just an acquaintance, but at that moment, I felt that if I ignored this woman, it would be a sin. Maybe I could save her?

I sighed, squatted down and said, "Young Madam, I'm about to go out to do some errands, Young Madam, would you like to go with me?"

Mrs. Cui looked at me blankly and asked, "What am I going to do?"

I said: "Go and see a different world, I also have something to say to you."

She hesitated for a while, then got up from the ground and nodded.

I asked Chen Xiang to stay here, and told him to take good care of Cui Changyu, not to allow him to go back to the Cui family compound, and to help take care of Qingping.

Chen Xiang agreed. He took off his big cloak and put it on Mrs. Cui. Mrs. Cui was taken aback for a moment. Chen Xiang looked at her right cheek with a wry smile. Cui Changyu slapped her hard, her right cheek A red mark has already appeared.

Mrs. Cui put on her big hat and wept again.

I took her into my carriage and asked Xiaoru to go back to report that she was safe, and said that I would take the young lady to relax and send her back safely.

Xiao Ru looked at the young lady, who nodded before she got into the car and left.

Our carriage also started to drive, I sat opposite Mrs. Cui, smiled (a forced smile), and said: "Young lady wears this cloak very well, this is my half-light new product, do you have any Made to order?"

Mrs. Cui shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "I don't feel that way. Things at home have messed up my life."

I said, "You should go and have a look. We just passed by. Let me show you around our shop."

She nodded and said absently: "You have the final say."

I let the carriage go to half a light. Today, the female workers are on vacation, but Mrs. Qing and the others still came, saying that they are very happy to be together every day, and they feel boring when they go home. rest.

The young lady covered her face with a hat and followed me into the shop. Seeing me, everyone surrounded me with a smile and asked, "The boss is here, have you eaten yet? There are steamed buns ready-made, shall I fry some cabbage for you?" "

I said, "No need, do you have hot steamed buns? If so, bring two."

Sister-in-law Qing said: "There are some, and they are reserved for you and the shopkeeper."

She ran to get the steamed buns, and everyone talked around us, asking me who was next to me, and I said it was a friend of mine and Chen Xiang. Sister-in-law Fen noticed the big cloak on Young Madam, and said with a smile: " Our cloak is just to look at this guest's neck is very white, and the blue matches his complexion."

Sister-in-law Liu also said, "It's really pretty. Have you ordered a suit? It looks even better when you wear them together."

The sisters-in-law chattered and chatted very familiarly. I noticed that the young lady curled her fingers and spoke a little hesitantly, as if she was very nervous and couldn't cope with this kind of scene.

I ignored her, and when Mrs. Qing brought the steamed buns in a small basket, we chatted for a while as usual before leaving.

After getting into the carriage, I handed a steamed bun to the Young Madam, took it and thanked him.

I chatted and said: "Try it, sister-in-law Qing and the others are used to the work, their hands are strong, they knead the dough well, and the steamed buns they make are particularly chewy."

The young lady hesitated for a moment, then tore off a small piece and put it in her mouth to chew slowly. I knew why she hesitated, and said with a smile: "Young lady has never eaten dry steamed buns like this. I remember every meal in Cui's family. At least there are four dishes and one soup, the habit here in Fengzhou is to drink soup first, now that there is no soup, do you still get used to it?"

"It's kind of dry," she said.

I laughed again, and said, "Then you can make do with it, Sister Qing and the others can only eat such steamed buns at half a cup of Liuguang, and they are reluctant to eat them when they go home."

She groaned and asked why.

I said, "Because I can't afford it, this is white flour."

The young lady was a little puzzled, and asked, "It's just a steamed bun, why can't you afford it?"

I said, "Young madam has never had to worry about food and clothing since she was a child. She has never seen the hardships of peasants, so she naturally doesn't understand. Let me tell you the stories of these female workers."

Then I told the longest gossip of my life, and I erased their names and said it was someone.

Mrs. Cui's three views were completely shattered, she stared at the steamed bun and forgot to chew it.

After speaking for a long time, she finally recovered her voice, and said in disbelief, "But just now, they were talking and laughing, and they didn't seem to have such a tragic experience at all."

I asked, "Do you know why?"

She shook her head.

I told her: "Because this job has brought them independence and dignity, and enabled them to stand in this world, and because they have never given up on life, and have always walked toward the sun with a cherished heart."

The young lady remained silent for a while. I took a bite of the steamed bun and said to her, "Eat quickly, don't waste the hard-earned food."

She lowered her head and ate the steamed buns, as if she was thinking about something, the carriage was not slow, the next stop was my Zhuangzi.

I showed her the greenhouse and told her what a greenhouse is.The workers were so busy that no one paid any attention to her.

I asked, "Do you know what they are doing?"

She said, "It's building...it's called...a shed."

I shook my head and said: "They came here before dawn this morning, and they haven't stopped working until now except for meal time. Those are still officials of the imperial court, and they are also here to suffer from the cold, running non-stop, What do you think they are for?"

She thought for a while and said, "Finish the work as soon as possible so that you can get paid and go home?"

I smiled and said, "Their goal is to mature the technology of greenhouses earlier, so that the seedlings can be planted in the greenhouse one day earlier, and ordinary people like Mrs. Qing and the others can save a day of hunger."

Mrs. Cui looked at me blankly, unable to say a word.

Lao Zhu and his family ran around the fields, bringing water and pancakes to the workers, and cloth towels to wipe their sweat. When they saw us, they also gave us two bowls of water. I took the water and drank it. The steamed buns were indeed a bit dry. .

The young lady hesitated a bit, holding the bowl and refused to act. Old Zhu asked her why she didn't drink, but she hesitated and couldn't tell. At this time, Old Zhu's wife ran over and scolded: "What do you know, you are careless all day, you How can a girl use the bowls that you stinky old men have used."

As she spoke, she took out a new large bowl of rough clay and poured a new bowl of hot water for the young lady. The young lady drank it all in one gulp. The moment she put down the bowl, I saw a little tear in the gap of her hat .

I took her to see the peach tree that was stabbed by the rebels. The cut had scabbed over, but the peach tree was still growing tenaciously.

We got into the carriage again, and at this stop I was going to the orphanage.

When I reached the outskirts of the city, there was a sound of horseshoes running past the car, and I heard a familiar female voice, raising the curtains and shouting, "Where is Missy going?"

Miss Wang, who was riding a horse in front, turned her horse's head and came to our car window. She was wearing a big half-light cloak, with a ruddy complexion and a high spirit. Invite me to go to the horse race in a few days, I didn’t win the first place in the horse race last year, and I can’t lose again this year.”

I smiled and asked her: "Aren't you cold in this world of ice and snow?"

"It's not cold." She touched the sweat on her forehead and said, "You don't understand, the horse racing in winter is the most enjoyable when it's in the snow. I'm afraid it won't snow that day!"

She looked at the sky, and said worriedly: "There is little snow this year, maybe it is true!"

I also looked at the sky and said, "That's right, I heard that there may not be a good harvest in the coming year. Do you know that they have started to try to build a greenhouse?"

Miss Wang smiled crisply: "I know, we also need to build in our village. My father said that if it succeeds, he will donate money to build a batch for the hometown, so that the villagers can eat vegetables in winter. Now Bring the men of the family to help there!"

I asked in surprise: "My lord's leg..."

She smiled and said, "My father said that disability doesn't mean useless, there are still many things he can do!"

It was windy at this time, and she flicked her whip and said, "I'm going to get cold if I don't move now. I'll go first. See you next time, Mr. Zhang!"

I waved to her: "Be careful of slippery roads!"

Retracting the carriage, I smiled and said to Mrs. Cui, "This young lady of the Wang family is really the most elegant woman I have ever seen."

Mrs. Cui listened to the conversation just now verbatim, she grabbed the clothes at her knees with both hands, and whispered: "She is really enviable."

I smiled and said nothing.

When I arrived at the orphanage, I told her that there were poor homeless people inside. She was a little scared, saying that she had never been to such a scary place.

I said, "Do you think there is only despair and pain here? No!"

Before she finished speaking, a small hand tugged at the hem of Mrs. Cui Shao's big cloak. When she turned her head, she saw a thin and small child who looked no more than two or three years old retracting his dirty little hand. It was thin and torn, and his hands had frostbite, leaving a dirty handprint on the cloak.

He grinned at the young lady, and asked in a childlike voice, "Good man, are you here to bring us something delicious?"

Young Madam was at a loss for this little dirty child. The child's eyes were clear and bright, full of simplicity and innocence.

At this time, I heard Ding Nan's voice: "Xiao Hei, don't run into the nobleman."

The child smiled and ran to Ding Nan, Ding Nan picked him up, a gust of wind blew off the young lady's hat, revealing the redness and swelling on her face.

Ding Nan asked me in surprise: "Mr. Zhang, this is..."

The young lady put on her hat in embarrassment, lowered her head and said nothing.I shook my head at Ding Nan and said, "A friend."

Ding Nan didn't ask much when he had seen the world, and said something to the child, and the child ran away.

A few women ran out when they heard the voice, and surrounded me and said, "Why are you back? Our embroidery work has just started, and we can't see anything right now!"

I asked, "It started so soon?"

A woman smiled shyly and said, "We started as soon as you left. We all look forward to doing good embroidery and working in your shop!"

The other woman turned her head to look and said, "Hey, why are we the only ones out?"

The previous woman slapped her thigh: "It's broken, they are all busy working, let's go back quickly, don't let them preempt."

Several women rushed away, Ding Nan said with a smile: "They all cherish this opportunity."

I also laughed: "When we go back and think about it, and help with some work, I think they are all working hard."

Ding Nan nodded: "Who doesn't go for a better life."

We chatted for a few words before I left, Xiao Hei ran out from nowhere, pulled the young lady's cloak again, and handed her a bulging cloth towel.

It was a crooked and ugly package, and Ding Nan said, "It's wrapped in snow, it will be better if you wrap it."

The young lady took Xiaobu's bag as a thank you, and gave Xiaohei all the money she had.

Until we got back to the carriage, she was still looking at the cloth bag in a daze, and it took a long time to gently put the cloth bag on her cheek, tears falling silently.

We were silent all the way until we sent her home. She turned around suddenly in front of the Cui family’s mansion, and said to me with red eyes: “Mr. There are all kinds of lives, some are hard, some are happy, but everyone is trying to live, and I should be too, right?"

I nodded and said: "Your background is much better than many of them. You should live a good life instead of crying all day long. Put your eyes on a little farther and open your heart to see the world." , you will find that life is not only about love and love, nor is it only around one man."

She bowed her head and said nothing.

I asked again: "Did you think of Cui Changyu in your heart along the way?"

She raised her head suddenly, then firmly shook the small cloth bag in her hand, lowered her eyes, and said softly: "I understand, I've troubled you, thank you."

She left, but I didn't finish my work, so I asked the coachman to turn around and go to Cui Changyu's courtyard.

The yard was quiet, I went straight into the house, and saw Cui Changyu writing in the main room, Chen Xiang was not there, probably accompanying Qingping in the bedroom.

I leaned over to take a look, I was so out of breath, this guy was writing a letter of divorce.

Resisting my urge to growl, I tapped the paper in front of him with my fingers and said, "What are you writing?"

He looked up at me: "Divorce letter, I want to divorce that cruel woman."

Me: "Why is she so cruel?"

Cui Changyu tilted his head and looked at me: "She threatened Qingping with a knife and nearly killed her. Isn't that cruel?"

Me: "She threatened Qingping with a knife, did she do so?"

Cui Changyu looked confused, stood up and touched my forehead: "Mr. Zhang, you are confused. Didn't you see it at noon, what nonsense are you talking about?"

I blocked his hand and said, "I don't have a fever. What I saw was different from yours. What I saw was you trying to kill Qingping with a knife."

Cui Changyu was startled, but he quickly realized and asked me, "What do you mean?"

I pointed to the back room: "How are Qingping and the child?"

Cui Changyu: "The child is asleep, but the sleep is not comforting, and he always wakes up crying from his dream. Zhang Fulang and Qingping are with him."

I nodded: "Changyu, we have known each other for almost a year, and we work together to get things done together. The friendship can be said to be very deep, right?"

Cui Changyu nodded: "Indeed, we are about the same age and get along well. I am also very lucky to have a friend like you."

I sighed and said, "I'm a few years older than you, and I want to say a few words to you as a big brother with a shy face, is that okay?"

Cui Changyu spread his hands against the wall: "Let's talk."

I waved to him, and we sat down around the charcoal brazier and roasted our hands, I said: "Tell me about the time when we first met, I thought you were a particularly outstanding young man at that time, and you still had the vigor and energy in you." I am envious and fond of being warm and forthright towards my friends, have you compared your life back then with your current life?"

Cui Changyu remained silent.

I went on to say: "How happy you were at that time. Your parents doted on you, your younger brother was lively and lovely, your wife was gentle and virtuous, and your concubine was cute and clever. Moreover, the whole family got along so harmoniously. The wives and concubines respected each other and lived in harmony. Come out, who is not envious, who is not jealous."

"But now, you and your parents have turned against each other, the wife is using a knife to force the concubine, and the concubine has to bear the pain of being deprived of the child when she is extremely weak after giving birth, and she has to endure all kinds of frights. What is the reason for this farce? rise?"

He thought for a while and said, "Because of the child."

I shook my head: "The child is just full moon, ignorant and ignorant, how can he carry such a big pot?"

"The root of the problem lies with you."

Cui Changyu looked up at me, and I looked back at him, and said word by word: "Because you're too fucking a man."

Cui Changyu was anxious and said, "Why do you blame me? It was Wei Yuanxia who wanted to snatch the child, and it was my parents who didn't listen. I just wanted to protect my woman and child. What are you blaming me for?"

"Who is your woman?" I lowered my voice, afraid of disturbing the children in the back room.

I said, "Qingping is your woman, isn't Young Madam not?"

"Oh, you said that you wanted to retire because you didn't want to. It was the Young Madam who insisted on marrying you. She should bear the consequences. But have you ever thought that if you really don't want to marry her, why don't you just tear up the engagement? The marriage is retired, and she has to make a choice. This world is dominated by men. How can a woman who has been engaged by her family to decide her own destiny? Retiring the engagement is for her who wants to marry you wholeheartedly. , What a terrible and hopeless thing, do you know? In the end, you still didn’t take responsibility, and you were greedy, asking for it blindly, asking her to do the housework for you, honoring your parents, but still saying that it was all voluntary , I didn't force you."

"You are irresponsible, you are scum, you are cheap, and you are shameless."

He was a little impatient, and just about to say something, I held him down and took his conversation away: "Let's talk about Qingping, who you care about the most."

As soon as Qingping was mentioned, he went limp, staring at me and waiting for me to speak.

I said: "I have met Qingping, and she is also Chen Xiang's good friend. She is really cute. You like her, which shows that you have good vision, but your liking is too cheap and too weak. You just want to spend the first month with her." Next, poetic and picturesque, have you ever thought that life is not only about these, you want to bring her home, you want to integrate her with your original life, then you have to be able to handle all kinds of things and balance well Do you have the ability of all parties?"

"You didn't, you didn't prepare anything, so you took her back. She has a good temper and knows that she has a bad background. She has always been a concubine respectfully, filial to the elders, and obedient to the young lady, so your family has always It's very harmonious, but these are all her own efforts, what's the matter with you, what have you done?"

"You stayed by Qingping's side day and night, and you didn't consider the suffering of the young lady at all, nor did you consider the embarrassment of Master Cui and Madam Cui, which made the young lady's grievances grow deeper and deeper. Master Cui and Madam Cui wanted to help you Suppressing this kind of family crisis hidden in the dark took great pains, and even resorted to extreme measures. As for Qingping, she has to bear the resentment of the young lady, and the spearhead of Master Cui and Mrs. Cui. It is your immaturity and your immaturity. Sensibility pushed her to the forefront!"

"It's all you!"

"Everyone in your family is trying their best to coexist peacefully and make this family harmonious and warm. Only you are making waves in it. You are a shit-stirring stick, breaking the balance that everyone has worked so hard to maintain time and time again, hurting everyone. Everyone's heart!"

I got angrier and poked his forehead and repeated: "Big shit-stirring stick!"

"You should be the core of this family, you should let your parents take care of you, you should let your wives and concubines live in peace, you should bear the burden of their family, and carry the whole family, but you didn't. You grew up under everyone's care. A giant baby who doesn't know anything about the world."

I stroked my lips and said, "Ah Xiang said that a man is a mature man if he grows a beard. I give this sentence to you. Don't think that you are very good. You are still far behind, kid!"

"Little Shitou knows that he wants to be with the mother who gave him milk. What about you, Master Cui and Mrs. Cui have supported you for so many years and loved you in every possible way, and you just repay them like this? You tore their hearts and smashed them to the ground. , are you human?"

"Changyu, you are a man, not a baby boy. At our age, when we start a family and start a business, the burden on our shoulders will become heavier and heavier. We are men, and our shoulders are stiff. We must be able to carry them!"

"Parents, wife and children, and the workers in the shop are all on your shoulders!"

Cui Changyu has already buried his head in the palm of his hand, I can feel his distress, and I can also feel his entanglement.

I gave him time to calm down, the charcoal in the charcoal brazier was burning red, and there was a beeping sound, after a while, it was Qingping who came out of the room first, and Chen Xiang was by her side, looking at me quietly.

"Sanggong", Qingping put her little hand on Cui Changyu's shoulder and said softly, "Let's go home."

Cui Changyu looked up at her, held her hand, choked up and said, "Qingping..."

Qingping's eyes were also a little red, and she said in a trembling voice: "Let's go and confess our mistakes to our parents. I thought about it. Sister Yuanxia really needs children more than I do. She has a good background and is a gentle person. Raise the child well, the old lady is right, the child is raised in front of me at home, he will always be my child."

Cui Changyu stood up and hugged her into his arms, and said softly, "But I feel sorry for you."

Qingping smiled and said: "You have been very kind to me these years, and you have nothing to do to me. What you are sorry to is your parents, and sister Yuanxia. We are a family, and the family cannot be separated."

Cui Changyu buried his face in Qingping's shoulder, sobbing, and said: "I'm sorry Qingping, I know I was wrong, I won't let you face it by yourself, I will deal with the family affairs, give me some time, okay? ?”

Qingping said softly, "Okay."

After a while, Cui Changyu raised his head and saluted me: "Thank you, brother."

I also breathed a sigh of relief in my heart and said, "I'm still afraid that you will be angry with me."

He shook his head, sniffled and said, "Only you are willing to tell me these words. It's the first time I've heard them. Thank you. I'll think about what to do."

He picked up the divorce letter and threw it into the charcoal brazier. Chen Xiang came over and hugged my arm, and I said, "It's getting late, so we'll go back first, and you take care of the children."

They nodded and sent us out.

On the carriage, Chen Xiang asked me: "If you were in the refugee village, you first got engaged to Su Mai, or married him, and then met me, what would you do?"

I told him: "If there is no if, you are mine and I am yours. In this life, the two of us will be bedded together, and there will be no one else."

He pursed his lips and smiled: "It's better to be my husband-in-law. Qingping suffered with Cui Changyu."

My heart skipped a beat and I said, "What did you call me?"

Chen Xiang was stunned for a moment: "Ah?" Then he came to his senses and turned his face away shyly: "It's nothing, everything is fine."
