The next words were interrupted by Xue Gouzi again.

He gave a shy smile and seemed to be relieved: It's not as if uncle asked you to come. Auntie, you almost scared me to death. I thought uncle only loved Juncai brother but not me. Obviously uncle said that most It hurts me.

From then on, Xue Cuiping could no longer speak. She could only hurriedly say a few words that she didn't know why, then raised the door curtain and went out.

The room was very quiet, and the eyes of the young man on the kang darkened, and there was a trace of vicissitudes that did not match his age.

Looking at such a little man, Zhao'er didn't dare to step forward. After a while, he came over, sat on the edge of the kang, and said hesitantly: Dog, are you okay?

Looking at the other party's worried face, Xue Gouzi smiled: I'm fine.

Zhao'er pursed her lips tightly and touched his head: Believe me, sister, one day we won't have to ask for anything.

Xue Cuiping left without even having lunch, taking with her a bag of wheat seeds that Mrs. Zhao had given her.

No one knows what she said to Mr. Zhao, or what Mr. Zhao said to her. All in all, during lunch, both Zhao and Yang looked unhappy, so that Sun and Zhou were cautious.

Zhao'er never looked at this. After the rice was put on the table, she took two bowls to put the rice first and then add the vegetables. Lunch was not a sumptuous meal, just millet and rice, and the vegetables were stuffed white rice, radish, and some homemade pickles. There is also meat, all big fat meat, a small plate, placed in front of the men.

Men have to work in the fields and eat meat to gain strength.

Zhao'er didn't want to eat meat either. The meat cooked by Zhou was white and greasy, which made people unappetizing. She put some hot vegetables and pickles into the bowl as usual, not much, but Zhao suddenly dropped her chopsticks.

It's just such a small amount of food. How can the two of you eat this? Is it the reincarnation of a hungry ghost or something like that?

These words are very hurtful and slap in the face. Anyone with any self-respect can't stand it, but Zhao'er is used to it. That's how Zhao is, if anyone makes her unhappy, she will be disgusted in various ways.

She was not annoyed and continued to pick up the dishes. She originally planned to pick only those dishes, but because of Zhao's words, she deliberately picked up two more chopsticks.

There's nothing I can do about it, grandma, the dog needs to take care of himself. If you don't give him enough food, you have to eat enough. As she said that, she suddenly turned to Mrs. Zhou and said, Third aunt, next time I'll wash the vegetables. You ask me to choose the food. Our family is not one of those who are too poor to eat. There are scholars in the family, and there is also a Tongsheng master. Although grandma lives a careful life on weekdays, she is not a person who does not let anyone eat the food.

When it comes to criticizing Sang and Huai, Zhao'er thinks she can't lose to anyone, especially since she is holding her breath in her heart.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhao was immediately annoyed: No matter how rich we are, they can't afford to eat so much like you. You don't work every day and you can eat more than anyone else. A stupid girl like you, if it weren't for our family, He was kicked out a long time ago.

Zhao'er immediately put away his smile: Grandma, what you said is wrong. When I came to the house when I was seven years old, what kind of work have I never done inside and outside? When my father died, I wore a mourning tribute. When my mother died, I stayed by her bedside day and night for more than half a year. I was the daughter-in-law of my second wife. I gave my second wife a last resort, and I went all over the country to reason with her, and no one asked me to leave.

But Grandma, don't dislike me as a granddaughter-in-law for being too talkative. People are divided into different categories depending on how much they eat. Some people eat hot and spicy food and don't even know how to wipe the oil from their mouths. If it were someone else, , if you eat some rotten Baisong, you will become a glutton. There are more than a dozen chickens in this family, and they often lay eggs. Taoer and I feed them every day, but I don’t know where the eggs have gone. Dog disease After a fight, I have only eaten one egg so far. Don’t let me raise this chicken next time. I can’t eat it anyway. Whoever eats it will raise it.”

These words made everyone's faces look ugly. Among them, the faces of Dafang's mother and son were the most beautiful. They were red and white, just like a dyeing shop.

He ate it secretly without wiping the oil on his mouth. He was talking about someone from Dafang. Mrs. Zhao was stingy, but she was not stingy with her eldest son and grandson. Mrs. Yang and her younger son naturally took advantage of it. The seven-year-old talented boy looked angry and seemed to want to say something, but was pulled hard by Yang.

Si Fang's Mao Dan is still young and has a greedy mouth. He has long been tired of eating Bai Song. As soon as I heard the eggs, I couldn't help it, and shouted to Mrs. Sun: Mom, I want to eat eggs, I want to eat eggs...

In the silent main room, a child's sharp cry was heard, which made people's heads throb.

Mrs. Sun was so upset by the crying that she couldn't help but slap her in the face: Why are you making such a fuss? Why are you eating eggs? There are no eggs for you! Her tone was a little harsh.

To put it bluntly, no one feels resentful, but just endures it.

Maodan was slapped and cried even louder. Mrs. Zhao was already furious, so when she saw this, she immediately changed her target: Ms. Sun, you are so promising that you hit my grandson.

Mrs. Sun was always afraid of Mrs. Zhao, so she immediately smiled awkwardly and said, Mom, isn't Mao Dan asking for eggs? There are no eggs for him to eat. The latter sentence was muttered, and his eyes subconsciously moved up as he spoke. Fang, mother and son looked at each other.

Mr. Xue has always ignored his daughters-in-law's affairs, and now he couldn't help it.

With a dark face, he patted the table: No, what are you making a fuss about! The square table was slapped so that its legs shook, and the bowls and plates jumped up and down, making crisp sounds.

Zhao'er didn't pretend to be dead, and said aggrievedly to him: Grandpa, it's not that grandma dislikes me and Gouzi for eating so much.

She put the bowl on the table, covered her face and started crying: I just ate such a small amount of rice that made my throat irritate, and there was not even a drop of oily star, so I just told him to eat it and serve it out to others. Look, people will laugh to death when they see us. If grandma really dislikes me and Gouzi, why not give us a second room, and we will never eat and drink at home again.

When he heard the word 'family separation', Mr. Xue subconsciously twitched his eyebrows and scolded: No one is allowed to mention the separation of families! He seemed to feel that his tone was too harsh, and he lowered his tone and said: Your grandma is upset about your aunt's family, so she is angry with you. But you are a junior, how can you talk back to your elders.

He turned around and scolded Mrs. Zhao again: Tian Tian said that you don't have a long memory and have lived in a dog's belly all your life. What are you doing with those eggs? They are so smelly that you can't bear to eat them! Third daughter-in-law, go and get some. I'm here to stir-fry and add some vegetables for everyone.

Just like that, Mr. Xue's words successfully silenced everyone.

Zhao'er's eyes flashed. She was not lying when she said she wanted to separate the family. Unfortunately, she was stillborn the first time she said it. But that's right, how could Mr. Xue allow the second house to be separated? If word spread about it, it would become a family bullying the two children. Besides, Mr. Xue also wants to twist the whole family into one, so that he can provide another scholar for the Xue family.

Not to mention these things, even though there was a scene, the whole Xue family had a meat meal.

Zhou made a large bowl of scrambled eggs and left a bowl specially for Zhao'er.

This move is a bit intriguing. You must know that the third wife and her husband are usually taciturn. They are considered old scalpers in the Xue family. They rarely help the two children of the second bedroom to speak.

But Zhao'er didn't think much about it. Everyone in the family had their own thoughts, and she couldn't control anyone else's thoughts. Just don't make her anxious.

She returned to the house with the food. When she entered the door, she smiled at Xue Gouzi and said, Look, dog, there are eggs for lunch.

*

Looking at the bright smile on the girl's face, a complex look flashed in Xue Gouzi's eyes.

Although he was in the house, the movement in the main room was not missed.

Zhao'er is like this, aggressive and fierce, and he never cares about what others think of his actions. He used to care a lot and always felt that she was embarrassing and doing him a disservice. He tried to dissuade her many times but failed, and because of other things, he hid his disgust towards her.

Little did he know that he was the one who was hypocritical, inferior and stupid. Unfortunately, by the time he understood, it was already too late.

You have a fight with grandma just to eat an egg.

After the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he had not changed his previous awkward speaking pattern, so she might have misunderstood. Sure enough, a dark look flashed across Zhao'er's face, and then he said with a smile: Xue Jun can eat it, but my dog ​​can eat it too. Come and eat, take good care of yourself, and you will be well soon.

Look, she is like this, always treating him as a child and saying I am a dog, but in fact he is no longer a child. The young man's mentality is sensitive and worrying. He doesn't like all this, but he doesn't know how to express it, so the discomfort slowly turns into disgust and subconscious avoidance.

Xue Gouzi didn't know why he thought of this. He just felt that he had become very strange now, as if he had become two people, one was Xue Gouzi and the other was Xue Tingyan. Whenever he encountered something related to Zhao'er, a voice would murmur in his mind, seeming to tell him what he was really thinking deep in his heart.

While he was thinking, something was fed to his mouth. He lowered his eyes and saw that it was a fried egg that was yellow, crispy and soft.

Third Aunt also made good scrambled eggs. The dog took a big bite and grew taller and stronger after eating it.

As soon as he said these words, Zhao'er regretted it.

The little man was so well-behaved today that she couldn't help but imagine the scene when she coaxed him to eat when he was still young. She had always coaxed the dog like this when she was a child, but suddenly the dog began to resist her and hated her the most.

When she was feeling uneasy, she smiled dryly when she saw him lowering his eyes and was about to take back the spoon she handed over.

Suddenly, he came over and took a big mouthful, swallowing a spoonful of rice.

Delicious.

Looking at him chewing the rice with drooped eyelids, Zhao'er suddenly smiled: If it's delicious, eat more. From now on, I will work hard to make money and give the dog scrambled eggs every day.

After saying that, she secretly glanced at Xue Gouzi from under her eyes. Seeing that he didn't show any displeasure, I couldn't help but feel relieved.

In fact, Zhao'er said this on purpose. The little man always hated her running around and learning to do business with others. The two of them had been unhappy many times over this matter, but she couldn't stop making money just because he didn't like it.

She wanted to be rich, she wanted to be rich so that her little man could go to school, and she didn't want to fight with these people like a black-eyed chicken. She thought a lot, and all of this required his support. After all, they were a family, and now they were the only ones left in the second room.

But Zhao'er has thought about it, and even if he objects, she will do it.

Of course it's best not to object.

Under this situation, she couldn't help but say a few more words: I just told my grandma about the separation of the family, but I blocked him back. Seeing what the little man wanted to say, she interrupted: Listen, sister. Having said that, there are some things that I didn’t want to tell you too clearly. I always felt that you were still young, and I didn’t want to disturb your studies. But what happened today, I can also see that you have your own ideas.

Here at home, if we can fight for it, we will fight for it. It should be ours, and we can't just give it to others without knowing it. Even if we want to give it, we have to give a clear explanation. There is no need to bully others! If we can't fight for it, Don’t be afraid. Sister recently found a business, and I can raise the money to send you to school. Having said all this, I just want you to relax and don’t be afraid. Even if the sky falls, there will still be sister to support you. . People don’t just have this one path. We have many paths to take. To struggle with yourself is something only a fool would do.”

In fact, Zhao'er had wanted to tell Xue Gouzi about this for a long time, but she also knew that the little man had many thoughts, and she was afraid that he would think too much. But who would have thought that he still thought too much, and even worried about it and became sick. Today was such a good opportunity, so she simply pointed it out.

Xue Gouzi looked at her.

This scene in his dream was not like this. Because of his sudden outburst, the Xue family was in chaos. The family reprimanded him, saying that he was ignorant, not considerate of the family, and unfilial, which made Grandma faint with anger. In order to protect him, Zhao'er quarreled with the Xue family, and finally even alerted the clan leader.

Zhao'er was whipped five times in public in the Xue family's ancestral hall for being disrespectful to his elders and breaking the rules, as a warning to others. And this matter was suppressed by the clan leader. He didn't even have the ability to resist, so what belonged to him was taken away from him.

Later Xue Juncai went to the school in the town and was very proud of it. The second room was completely disgusted by the family because of this incident, especially because the eldest room was causing trouble. Life in the Xue family was not easy.

No one at home spoke to them, and no one in the village spoke to them. He couldn't even go to private school because his uncle said he was a wolf-hearted person and couldn't teach him. He also said that Zhao'er had beaten his aunt, and he didn't want to cause trouble for his family anymore.

He was only fourteen at that time. Even if he knew that some people were not good people, he could not understand the malice in them. Maybe he could understand it, but the bad nature of human nature made him subconsciously pass the responsibility. He blamed Zhao'er for all his dissatisfaction, unsatisfactory life, and even the harsh fate of his fate.

Even though he later knew in his heart that he had wrongly blamed her and that he was dead wrong, the misunderstanding was too deep and the two of them had drifted apart, and he had no shame in explaining it all to her.

A young man was walking along the village path.

He was wearing a blue jacket, and it seemed that he had not seen the sun for a long time, and his skin was pale and pale. He is also slender and thin, but his expression is calm and calm. He is obviously wearing poor clothes, and the village paths are uneven and there are even cow dung and chicken dung, but it still makes him feel like he is strolling in a leisurely garden.

It is the time of spring plowing, and everyone is busy plowing the fields at the moment. There are almost no people on the road in the village. Occasionally, someone's mother-in-law was doing work in the yard. She saw a person walking on the road from a distance. She looked at it carefully for a few times before recognizing who this person was.

Gouzi, where are you going?

Xue Tingyan looked at the woman who was talking to him, smiled and said, Auntie, I'll just go for a walk.

It was just a casual remark. The woman didn't say anything more to him. She turned around and went into the house to get something. The mother-in-law in the house asked her: Third wife, who were you talking to just now?

The dog in the second room of Xue Lianxing's family. Hey, Mom, it's strange for you. Just now he walked past the door, and I didn't recognize him for a moment. I always felt like he was a different person.

Her mother-in-law disapproved: What can he become, and he can't change his skin. I remember that kid has been ill recently.

The daughter-in-law said: I think I am planning to go to the back mountain. There is a mountain behind Yuqing Village. The deceased villagers in the village are buried there, and the ancestral graves of the Xue family are also there.

Hearing this, her mother-in-law sighed: Don't mention it, it's a pity that the second son of the family has been born. The couple has left, leaving only a baby. It's a pity.

This was just gossip between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and while they were talking, Xue Tingyan had already taken Heizi into the back mountain.

*

The back mountain is called the back mountain, the mountain behind Yuqing Village.

This mountain is nameless and not high, but it is very deep. Anyway, so far, no villager has been able to walk back and forth from this deep mountain and old forest, and most of them do activities outside the mountain.

The ancestral tomb of the Xue family is built on a hill not far from the village. Not only the Xue Tingyan family, but the entire Xue family are buried here.

In the center of such a large mountain is the clan leader's lineage, and spreading out are the various branches. Mr. Xue's lineage is at the foot of the southwest mountain.

The second wife and her husband died young, and Xue Qingsong died in an accident, so they were buried on the edge.

When Xue Tingyan arrived at the place, he began to pull out the grass around the grave.

There were not many weeds. They had just been cleaned up during the Chinese New Year. He gathered them randomly and placed them on the ground, then sat down in front of the grave.
