The daily life of the husband who crossed the field

On a winter night, everything was silent, and the earth was much brighter because of the moonlight shining on the snow. Four thinly dressed people walked into Yuhe Town with one foot deep and one shallow foot supporting each other.

Ever since severe winter arrived and the number of guests decreased, Zhang Zhen told others not to come. The road from the village to the town was not easy, and it would be fine if any accident happened. Individuals are enough.

When Zhang Zhen went to the shop the next day, she found that sister-in-law Shun and Shunzi were talking, her face was filled with pity, and when she saw Zhang Zhen coming, Shunzi shouted, "Dasong, your sister is here."

Hearing the girl, Zhang Zhen immediately thought of Zhang Xiaohua's grievance every time she saw her. Now that she heard her, she naturally couldn't be happy, and asked, "What's the matter with her?"

Sister-in-law Shun knew from Dasong's expression that he was thinking about it. Dasong can still keep his expression on and ask, it's okay. Every time she sees Zhang Xiaohua crying to herself, she has a headache, making outsiders think she is bullying her, " It's your little sister, Xiaocao."

The original owner also has a younger sister, Zhang Zhen, who knows about it, but has never had the chance to meet her. However, having seen the characters of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhen really has no expectations for this younger sister whom she has never met. "What is she here for?"

Seeing that the water on the stove was boiling, Shunzi quickly picked up the pot and said, "I met your sister-in-law on the way today. A family of four was hiding in a corner and shivering. The child's face was blue and purple from the cold. , Fortunately, your sister-in-law and Xiaocao know each other, so we brought them back, and now they are resting in the room in the backyard."

Shun's sister-in-law took a few bowls, helped Shunzi pour the boiling water, and then poured it into the copper pot and hand stove, "I'll warm them up first. Fortunately, the quilt in the backyard room is thick, so they can warm up for a while. The head of the house, You boil a few more pots of water to bathe and warm them up."

Shunzi agreed, added water to the pot, and chatted with Dasong: "Even if you care about Xiaocao, don't go in, it's inconvenient for women and children to clean up inside."

How do you see that I care about her?Zhang Zhen slandered, but he couldn't say it out loud, and promised, "Sure, I'll see them again later."

After several people packed up, Zhang Zhen saw his last relative in name in the Zhang family.

Only two adults came out, and the two children were still resting under the blankets. They hadn't recovered from the cold for so long in the snow. Sister-in-law Shun and Shunzi helped to make ginger soup.

"Big brother."

"Hello, brother."

The first call came from the cheap sister Zhang Xiaocao, and the more enthusiastic and cramped call came from the cheap brother-in-law Liu Ping.

"Yeah." Others are not enthusiastic, and it is even more impossible for Zhang Zhen to take the initiative to post it.

Liu Ping saw that his eldest brother seemed to be a little unhappy, and seemed even more uneasy. Sitting on the stool, he didn't know where to put his hands. He struggled for a while and said, "Thank you this time, brother, if it wasn't for big brother..."

"We will definitely repay brother's kindness in the future." Before Liu Ping finished speaking, Zhang Xiaocao glared back and said something useless, "Brother introduced us for a few days, and when the snow stopped, we Walk."

When Liu Ping was treated like this, he just smiled silly a few times, but he didn't look ashamed or annoyed.

This younger sister was different from what he thought, but Zhang Zhen didn't intend to continue asking.The scene was a little cold for a while, but Shunzi came in with ginger soup and broke the situation.

"Come here, take a sip to dispel the cold. It's very cold and you spend the night outside. What's the deal?" Shunzi urged the two to drink quickly, "Don't worry, your sister-in-law has already served two little guy."

Liu Ping explained: "It's like this, at home..."

"There is too little food in the mountain, and there are too many people, so he was driven out." Zhang Xiaocao didn't like to see him cover up. He even wanted to save face for others when he did this. Her child almost froze to death. , and also wanted to help them cover up, thinking beautifully.

In fact, Liu Ping felt uncomfortable. He didn't care about his rough skin and thick flesh, but Xiaocao and the two children were shivering from the cold last night, and they were afraid that the child would die from the cold.He also hated in his heart, if there is no food at home, can't they be let out when the weather is fine?So I could understand her anger and didn't refute it.

Sister-in-law Shun also came in, just in time to hear such words, "The children are all asleep, you have no place to go now, right? Or you can live in the shop first, anyway, no one lives here at night."

Zhang Xiaocao hesitated for a moment, but agreed, and thanked, "Then thank you, Sister-in-law Shun, we won't eat and drink for free here, don't worry, we will work."

"Yes, yes, we will work." Liu Ping quickly promised.

Shunzi's family has a good heart, and Zhang Zhen knows that Shunzi's shares in this shop already exist. It is understandable for him to make a decision. In addition, they are also brothers and sisters in name. Of course, it is even more impossible for him to object. Let's settle down for now, don't think too much about it, there are still two children." Hmph, he also wants to be a good guy after the fact.

"That's right, the shop belongs to your eldest brother, how long can outsiders say?" Shunzi said with a smile.

Zhang Zhen: ... Zhang Zhen regretted what he said just now.

Only then did Zhang Xiaocao realize that such a big shop actually belonged to her eldest brother. At first she thought it belonged to Brother Shunzi and the others. Suddenly, she felt that her eldest brother had really changed a lot. She should have discovered it just now. At least, the one who spoke like this It was a tone she had never seen before.

The final result is of course that Zhang Xiaocao and his family of four will live here, but the business in the shop is not busy now, and they just help with odd jobs every day.

Two days after the snow stopped, Liu Ping came to Zhang Zhen and said, "Brother, the snow has stopped these two days. We want to go to the mountains and collect some mountain products. I think the shop will need these for cooking. If next year It is much more expensive to collect some mountain products.” He has no other skills, but he can tell whether the mountain products are good or not.

There was so much snow just a few days ago, Zhang Zhen didn't worry about them going into the mountain, if they stepped into the air in the snow, or ran into a wolf or something, it would be so dangerous, he didn't think about it for that little benefit. After killing a person, he refused: "Let's wait until the spring of next year. There are not many customers now, and it's useless to take it back, and it's easy to rot."

Zhang Xiaocao stood aside and said, "Brother, it won't happen, Liu Ping and I will clean it up, and we promise it won't rot."

"That's not okay, it's too dangerous to go into the mountains!" Zhang Zhen didn't plan to go with them, knowing that the two of them wanted to find something to repay, so he thought about it and said: "If Liu Ping really has nothing to do, he will take all the things in the warehouse. All the firewood has been chopped.” There was a room full of piles there, enough for him to chop for a long time.

Although Zhang Zhen's words were not very polite, Liu Ping still knew that the other party had good intentions, and felt uncomfortable. His family drove him out of the house, but his wife's eldest brother was so attentive to him, nodded emphatically and said: "Okay, I'll go now." !"

Although the room had already been sprinkled with insect repellent powder, Zhang Zhen added: "Remember to be careful of snakes, insects and ants!"

"Hey!" Liu Ping responded and continued to get the axe. Zhang Xiaocao felt the same when she heard it. She was afraid that Liu Ping would be careless, so she also went to help. It's a good job, so it's not like eating and drinking for free at other people's homes.

Seeing how they were in a hurry, Zhang Zhen felt that he had made generalizations at the beginning. Although Zhang's group accounted for more than half of them, Zhang Xiaocao was indeed different from them.

Although it was also her own decision to marry at the beginning, Zhang Xiaohua contacted Li Lin in advance to have an affair so that the Zhang family had to marry. Zhang Xiaocao fled to the mountains the day before the wedding, and found Liu Ping to marry. up.

The former hopes to live a good life through grievances and the pity of outsiders, but the latter has been very strong since the day he got married.Although her in-law's family is not a good thing, and she gave birth to two older brothers who provoke gossip from outsiders, Zhang Xiaocao is not afraid at all, and strives for the best interests for herself. She is even a bit aggressive, but no one in her in-law's family dares to bully her. she.

However, a person's strength is limited after all, and the rules in the mountains are no less than those in the village. Zhang Xiaocao gave birth to two brothers one after another, and the second child has already hurt her body. There is little food in the mountains. When people went out to work, they threw the two children out the door and refused to let them in.

Zhang Xiaocao was naturally unhappy to see it when she came back, but the mother-in-law cried and said that there was really no food in the house. If Xiaocao, the daughter-in-law, wanted to stay at home, she would throw away the two children, otherwise she would not be able to enter the house. this home.

In the mountains, brother is the most unpopular child. Others didn’t think anything was wrong after hearing it. Adults can’t live anymore. If brother can support him, he can support him. Otherwise, would he have to starve his parents to feed them? Has filial piety been eaten by dogs?

Zhang Xiaocao was also heartbroken at the time, and she was a foreign daughter-in-law, and few people spoke for her. When she thought about the child staying outside for so long, she felt scared and angry. It was good luck, and bad luck , was taken away by wolves and no one knew.

Knowing that there was no room for turning around this matter, Zhang Xiaocao brought her two children and Liu Ping to the town as soon as she was cruel. They heard that the town would find people to wash clothes and chop firewood, thinking that they would not be able to starve to death. My child, at night, I went to Yuhe Town against the wind and snow.

Although Zhang Xiaocao has a bit of a straight personality and doesn't know how to do things smoothly, just like if she had a good relationship with other people in the village, she would not have fallen into this end.But compared to Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Zhen is still in a dilemma with people like Zhang Xiaocao, being easy to talk to means that she can't suppress the group of her in-laws.

Furthermore, Zhang Xiaocao has never thought of coveting him for anything, and she has no choice but to stay here, and she works hard to repay him. has been forced to relax too much.

In the afternoon, snowflakes began to fall outside again. Zhang Xiaocao took a look and thought that it was a good thing he didn't go into the mountain, otherwise it would be dangerous now.

Liu Ping was burning charcoal next to him, feeling a little scared, and sighed: "Brother is a nice person, he didn't say anything to us, he didn't treat us as poor relatives, and he was so considerate of us, Xiaocao, why didn't I hear you mention it before?" What about him?"

"Brother..." Zhang Xiaocao touched the thick and soft quilt, and her heart was fluctuating. She had never covered such a thick quilt in winter, and it was actually given by her brother. Now it is still a little unbelievable, "Brother I was not such a person before, he was the boss of the family, he listened to my parents in everything, even if my parents wanted to marry me to such a person, he also urged me to get married quickly, and told me not to delay, otherwise That's disrespectful."

Liu Ping was a little surprised and said, "I don't think big brother is that kind of person?"

"It's really not the case now, but my parents think that a daughter can be used to sell a good dowry, and my elder brother also thought so before. Although he is not liked by his parents, he still listens to them for everything, and he has nothing to do with it. If you don’t speak your mind, you still look down on me and Xiaohua.” She used to look down on her eldest brother, cowardly and never dared to resist, the only consolation at home is that in the eyes of his parents, he himself is more important than the two sisters.

But she followed her parents and thought that the girl was the big brother who lost money. She was bullied since she was a child, and among the brothers in the family, only the big brother was willing to stand up for her, so among the many people who forced her to marry and get a sum of money, she was also The only thing I can't hate is Big Brother.However, if you want to kiss, you can't do it anyway, so I don't know what to say when we meet this time.Her contempt was because her eldest brother, who was clearly capable of making her life better, chose to avoid filial piety, and even she and Xiao Hua, who were in the most difficult situation, chose to resist Zhang Xiaocao.
