Chapter 17: Start reading

Grandma Changsheng and Zhou Fuzi eloped!
The day after Grandma Four and Zhou Fuzi left, the rumors burst like cold water in boiling oil and exploded in the village.
"Did you see it? They walked together early in the morning!"
"Yeah yeah! Really! Longevity and his daughter-in-law are still giving away!"
"Nonsense! Where did you send grandma to elope! You must be a bad watch!"
"Oh... yes, yes... that must have been my disappointment, they secretly stole it."
"Did you know? Grandma Changsheng and Zhou Fuzi are already getting better!"
"That's it! Can I not know? Since the fourth brother Huo died, they have hooked up, that eyebrow is coming!"
"I didn't see it..."
"Your eyes are blind, and you can't see it? I see that when Huo Sisi is alive, the two of them are getting better. Maybe Huo Sisi is mad at them both!"
"It's really...other people who are not so strong say that they are sick, and if they are not, they are gone? It must be for this reason."
"Isn't it going to return home to visit relatives? My sixth son was studying there, and Zhou Fuzi even went to my house to talk about it. He said he would ask someone to help teach for a while, and he will return."
"This is to give myself a decent excuse, but the reader is also conscientious, thinking about finding another gentleman without delaying the children."
"Yeah...it's just this way, I have a headache and a hot brain, I don't know who to look at..."
"You said that this week, the Confucius is so fancy to the grandmother? A widow, who is not too old, is also so choking... I don't know how he thought about it."
"Yeah, what's the matter, you are not happy anymore? But have you been in love with the master?"
"Bah! I'm not worth it for him. How can I be a scholarly scholar who looks good and wise? Even though I'm a forty, I haven't discussed my daughter-in-law yet, and I have to say a big girl! My first thought was to tell my sister to him, alas..."
"I saw the lotus maiden yesterday. I heard her saying that it was not an elopement. She said that her grandmother was ill.
"You believe this too? It’s just a matter of saying others, but the people who know medicine and medicine around here are just the two of them. If there is something wrong, they need to go outside. Even if there is really a serious illness, it’s a big deal to go to the county. Just leave like that? Besides, look at her like she is sick, I look stronger than me..."
"But...but the lotus lady does..."
"Ah, you just listen to what she said. You think, the old Li family was counted by others this time. Threw a big fool in the past, and people like the lotus father may admit that they have suffered a loss. Are you fooled? You have to break your teeth and swallow in your stomach."
"Humph, I still remember that the lotus father had fought with Changsheng in the field the next day. It has been a little half a year. Do you see how long Changsheng has been to the old Li family? Wait, back Some look!"
"Speaking of this, the lotus is also life-threatening. As long as the grandmother left, would the fool throw it to her?"
"Isn't it! I said how the grandmother Changsheng was willing to make a gift of half the acres of Huo's family? It turned out that I wanted to return with another daughter-in-law, so that I can let go and leave with the man!"
"I want to say that the worst thing is longevity. My father died from childhood. A grandfather failed to watch him grow up. Now my grandmother has gone... But they are considered to be benevolent, not a grandma. For so many years, he told him a daughter-in-law before he left. If he didn't even have a daughter-in-law, how could he live..."
"Ah... yes... pitiful..."
The village entrance, the valley, the well, and the lotus can almost hear this kind of argument when they go out. The people in the village saw her eyes changed a lot. First, they were surprised and contemptuous, then they watched the jokes and jokes, and finally more of them all Sympathy changed. The person who was far away from her because of the widow's house caught fire also began to show her a smiley face, saying a few unclear words, telling her what the trouble is, despite the opening, it will definitely help. Lotus felt that even if she had grown a hundred mouths, she couldn't explain the sudden departure of Grandma Four and Confucius, and she only responded vaguely, just letting others love and think.
However, the villagers soon lost interest in the affairs of Grandma Four and Zhou Fuzi, because other characters diverted everyone's attention.
Because the village is far away from the county town and the transportation is inconvenient, Sun Xingzhou simply moved to Zhou's house after Zhou's departure, and helped him to take care of the house for the second time. As soon as Sun Xingzhou lived in the village, he became a hot figure. In the words of the three aunts and six wives in the village, the grandson Sun Xiangjun was good at learning and had two small dimples when he laughed. Mortal, these characters are afraid to compare the adults of Zhixian County!
Lotus has never seen an adult in Zhixian County, but he also feels that this Sun Xianggong is indeed a good character. It is not that he is much more handsome or knowledgeable, and he is ashamed of himself by raising his hand and throwing his feet. Lotus didn't know if other people felt this way. Anyway, when she approached him and talked to him, she felt uncomfortable and always felt ashamed to raise her head. If he smiled at her, she still felt her heart flutter. , I feel more at a loss to look at people.
Because of this, lotus always wanted to hide from Sun Xingzhou, but Zhou Fuzi was asked before he left, and it was as if Sun Xingzhou had identified her, just ask her something. The lotus was quite at a loss. She didn't dare to wear dirty clothes in her daily work. The only two good clothes were worn back and forth. Two times she stained her cuffs, which made her feel bad enough.
That day she was collecting firewood in the stove, Sun Xingzhou came to her again, saying that it was cold winter, and she wanted to heat the kang at night, but she had never done it, and she didn't know how to do it. Please ask her to help. The lotus was a little embarrassed, but he didn't refuse in the end, only asked him to go back first and said that he would pass by later.
The lotus sent Sun Xingzhou back and went back to the house, thinking of calling Changsheng together. Sun Xingzhou was not the same as Zhou Fuzi. Her little daughter-in-law's family was not good enough to go to him alone, and told Changsheng to avoid gossip.
In the evening, Sun Xingzhou heard knocking on the door, opened the door and saw the lotus first, then smiled, and then saw the longevity behind the lotus, and was startled, and then smiled at the longevity. Come here to help, I really feel sorry."
The lotus pursed her lips and said, "Yes."
Sun Xingzhou asked Lotus and Changsheng to enter the hospital sideways, and looked at it when Changsheng passed by.
The three entered the house, and Lotus instructed Changsheng to sit and wait in the house, and he and Sun Xingzhou went to clean the kang eyes in the outhouse. The lotus squatted on the ground and mumbled busy, Sun Xingzhou leaned over and looked at it, laughing from time to time: "Humanity is useless as a scholar. It is really good. I have read so many sage books for so many years. Even the ability to live at this point None, so the sister-in-law smiled."
The lotus didn't look up, and said through the stove: "You are a literati, so naturally you won't get this. People in your city sleep on carved wooden beds. Only our rural people sleep on this kind of kang, but you are wronged. "
Sun Xingzhou said: "Where is wronged? I'm not the kind of hot kang that went back to sleep. I slept once in the early years, but I said it was much better than a carved wooden bed, because it is warm and comfortable in winter. I learned the skill of burning kang with my sister-in-law today, and Cha Minger also learned Zhou Fuzi to find a secluded residence in this small mountain village, but it was my fortune."
The lotus still lowered her head and smiled shallowly, saying, "This poor country is not so good. You haven't said this for a long time."
Sun Xingzhou said: "It's a bit harder than in the city, but the neighbors are more enthusiastic. I have to rely on the help of these people these days, because there is no trouble for you."
Lotus said: "Don't always be so polite. Zhou Fuzi asked me to help you more. This is what I should do."
Sun Xingzhou said with a smile: "Despite that, I always feel sorry for myself. In this way, I will go back to the county town. What do my sister-in-law like to tell me? I bought it for the sister-in-law, and it's a bit of a heart."
Lotus said busy: "But it doesn't work, where can I have your things!"
Sun Xingzhou was about to speak, and suddenly he heard a bang in the room, as if something fell on the ground and shattered. The two were busy entering the house to see, but seeing Changsheng standing in the middle of the room, holding a large pile of altar jars and pots, a clay pottery pen barrel rolled at his feet, and had fallen into several pieces.
Changsheng looked down at the debris on the ground blankly, then slowly raised his head to look at the lotus, and said innocently, "I didn't mean it."
Feeling embarrassed, the lotus rushed to Changsheng and whispered, "Isn't you sitting, how can you take someone's things casually?"
Longevity said: "It's not someone else's, it's Zhou Fuzi's stuff, I help him keep it."
The lotus said very quietly: "Zhu Zhouzi is not here. Now Sun Xianggong lives here, we can't disturb other people's things."
The long and strong body said: "No, I know, these are from Zhou Fuzi." After that, he looked at a lot of debris on the table and said, "Those things that are not Zhou Fuzi should not be put inside."
The lotus looked at the things on the table and apparently was poured out by Longevity. This made her feel more ashamed. While snatching the things in Changsheng's arms and picking up the debris on the table, she whispered: "Should not bring You’re here, just mess up."
Chang Sheng grabbed the pot in the hands of lotus, and poured out all the things, and exclaimed angrily, "This is Zhou Fuzi's thing!"
The lotus was extremely embarrassed and couldn't help but be angry and angry, but in front of outsiders it was not easy to get angry with Changsheng, but he was so blushed that he couldn't speak, his eyes turned cold and looked like a very angry little daughter who was scolded by her husband.
Sun Xingzhou had been standing at the door, and when he saw this scene, he hurried over to play in the round and smiled, "But it's mine, it's not right, I shouldn't take Zhou Fuzi's things at random."
He said that lotus felt more ashamed and embarrassed, and looked up and squeezed him with an apologetic smile.
Chang Sheng didn't look at Sun Xingzhou. He only stared at the lotus and murmured in aggrieved manner: "This house is also from Zhou Fuzi..."
After hearing this, Sun Xingzhou was stunned and wondered what to say. The lotus was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to stay any longer. He repeatedly compensated Sun Xingzhou, and hurriedly pulled Changsheng away.
In the end, Changsheng took out all the things of Zhou Fuzi, and the lotus flowers fell all the way, and Changsheng didn't look back. He only followed his head with a stuffy head, and grumbled: "It was originally Zhou Fuzi's thing..."
