Chapter 3: Start reading

In the afternoon, the sun was very full, and there was white smoke on the ground. The village was quiet, adults and children all took a nap at home, and only the lotus sat alone on the stone steps in front of the door with a burden. Soon, the last shade in front of the door also disappeared, and the lotus was dizzy by the sun. She stood up and patted the door again and said, "Longevity, open the door for me, I'm going to be dizzy..."
No one answered quietly in the courtyard. She thought Changsheng might not have heard it at all. He might lie down in the room with a fan and take a nap just like everyone else. All the grievances in the lotus slipped out at this moment. She took two steps back and shouted loudly in the yard: "Asshole forever! You open the door for me! What is the ability of a big man to bully a woman! You bastard! You open the door for me! If you don’t open me, I will beat you! I slap your mouth! Screw your ears! You will be beaten on the kang for a lifetime!

The lotus shouted outside for a while. It didn't do anything but make herself more angry and wronged. Finally, she gave up and yelled at the door and walked away with a burden.
She didn’t know where to go, and she definitely couldn’t go back to her mother’s house, so she would become a woman who was laid off. The first day of her marriage, she was taken off by her husband, or she was laid off by a fool, and her father would scold her. , Her mother will tears with her, she has no face to stay in this village.
The lotus went to the entrance of the village unconsciously, holding her baggage. She looked at the path outside the village. She was hesitant and frightened. Not to mention that she had nowhere to go. She said that she didn’t even stutter in the baggage. Starved to death on the road. But turning back to look at the village, she felt helpless and helpless. She was swept out of the house by a man, and her family did not wait to see her. She is now a big joke in the village.
Lotus will die if it is dead. It is a hard life on the left and right, and there is nothing to lose. She hugged her baggage and left the village.
There is no one on the trail outside the village. At first, she was a little bit free to escape the bitter sea, but the more she walked outside, the more uneasy she felt.
He hummed Xiaoquer to make himself bold. Walking around, she heard a footstep in front of her, and she panicked at once. She was afraid that the villagers would see her little daughter-in-law's family running away from home, and she was afraid of bandits and robbers. color. She was panicking to find a place to hide, and the man in front had turned out.
The coming person was Zhou Fuzi who came back from the neighboring village to see a doctor. When he saw the lotus, he was surprised and saw a bag in her arms. He asked, "Lotus... what are you... Where are you going?"
Lotus hugged his little bag and rubbed it backwards, his face sullen, and I didn't know what to say.
Zhou Fuzi is not a local, and Hehua vaguely remembers that he was probably not much bigger than Xiaobao when he came to this village. He was not very old. In Lotus's opinion, he was at least ten years younger than her father. He set up a primary school in his house. Some villages around him sent his son to study and literate. Everyone called him Master. He didn't learn a talent in the coming year.
Zhou Fuzi knew some medical techniques, and it was said that it was handed down by his ancestors. They were too far away from the county seat, and there was no doctor for a few miles. Since he came to this place, there was a sickness in the nearby people.
Zhou Fuzi was the first scholar he met in his life, and probably the only one. In her eyes, Zhou Fuzi and the crops in the village are so different. His clothes are always neat and tidy. Even the old patched gowns look very graceful on him, but they are better than others. The new clothes are also beautiful. He always had a good smile on his face. Even if someone disrespected him or even spoke swearing, he was never annoyed. For so many years, he had never seen him blush with others.
Lotus still remembers that when she was a child, a group of little girls gathered around to whisper. They all said that when they grew up, they would marry Zhou Fuzi, or a scholar like him. At that time, she seemed to have said such things. It has only been more than ten years, the girls in the village have been married one after another, but Zhou Fuzi has always been alone. Everyone will be accustomed to it for a long time. If one day he jumps out of a daughter-in-law out of thin air, it is to let people Startled.
On the way away from home, lotus was hit by Zhou Fuzi and led back to his house. At this time, she was sitting at the table with her little baggage, quite cramped.
Confucius seemed to be very casual, boiled water and made a pot of tea, and poured tea to the lotus while smiling and said: "What should I do, the youngsters quarreled and quarreled often."
Lotus put the baggage on the chair next to it, took the tea cup and bowed his head to blow hot air, embarrassed little voice: "It's not a bickering..."
Zhou Fuzi bent the corner of his mouth and only said: "Lotus, do you know why Grandpa Changsheng wants you to be the wife of Changsheng?"
The lotus didn't answer, only whispered in his heart: because no one except me, who is desperate, would marry him.
Zhou Fuzi said: "I have been in our village for more than ten years. I watched you and your children grow up as a child. This child is different from others... The villagers said he was a fool, but I said it was because he was clean , The filth of the world cannot enter his eyes..."
The lotus still listened quietly with her head down. She wanted Zhou Fuzi and her grandmother and grandchildren to get closer. She helped the longevity speak. Although it might not be wrong, who wouldn’t say it? Longevity has suffered these grievances in less than a day, and what will happen in the future...
When Zhou Feizi saw the lotus as if he were not listening, he smiled and said: "But he has you in his eyes, he knows you, he can call your name, and he is willing to talk to you..."
Lotus thought about it for a while, and it seems that it is true that Changsheng basically does not talk to people, and he ignores other people talking to him. In comparison, she is "close" to her. Thinking again, although she had not bullied him since she was a child, but she did not help him a little. He knew his name and wasn't it close to himself?
When Zhou Feizi saw the lotus's expression softened, he photographed his head and said, "Look at me, just to pour water on you. You should be hungry just this afternoon. Just eat something here with me today. I’m not good at craftsmanship.
The lotus regained his spirit and said a little embarrassedly: "No, don't worry about it."
Zhou Fuzi smiled and said: "No trouble, the child who always helped me pick water and chopped firewood, and you are not an outsider when I come here." Then he went out to cook.
Lotus had lunch at Zhou Fuzi's house and said another noon. Zhou Fuzi naturally did not mention longevity. Lotus knew that Zhou Fuzi gave her peace of mind, and the other gave her a step down. place.
Seeing that the sun was not enough, the lotus took the burden and stood up to say goodbye. Zhou Fuzi sent her out the door and smiled: "If the longevity later bullies you, you will tell me that I will give you justice."
The lotus smiled, pursed, and blushed a little.
She carried the baggage home and saw that the gate was still plugged in, and did not call people. It was just sitting on the stone steps as before, and after a while, footsteps came from inside, and the gate was slowly pushed open, Lotus took the opportunity to push the door and squeezed in, closing the door easily.
The longevity who raised the and prepared to go to the ground saw a lotus flower, and took two steps back in shock. First, he covered his face and ears subconsciously, and then said: "Don't be your daughter-in-law, you go."
The lotus threw the burden on Changsheng forcibly, pointing at his nose and shouting, "I tell you, my father took you half an acre of arable land, and promised to marry me to you, a fool, and be a wife! The same, Since you have married me, you should never say anything to repent! Who doesn’t like him when your grandfather is alive? They all say that he is the most committed to his promise in Shiliba Village, and he has never repented when he promised someone else’s things! If you regret it, you are not worthy of being his grandson, you are not worthy of being grandson Huo Si!"
Longevity stared at the lotus. He felt for a moment that he seemed to be hitting her with the in his hand, but the next moment he dropped the the ground like a child and shouted at the lotus: "I am not a fool! I It's my grandpa's grandson!"
Lotus said: "Then don't regret it. If you dare to say that you won't let me be your daughter-in-law, or if you want to return to that half acre of land, I will burn incense and tell your grandpa to let him come up to teach you this unfilial grandson!"
Longevity stared at the lotus, his face flushed red, gasping for two breaths, and turned back to the house.
The lotus heart said that the way Master Zhou taught her to be true, this fool really cares about his grandfather. She picked up the on the ground and put it away, and went into the house to see Changsheng, only to see that he ripped all the quilts folded in the morning, and got into her head and got angry with her head covered.
The lotus softened his tone and only asked in a peaceful manner: "Did you not eat at noon? Are you hungry? I'll get some to eat."
Longevity didn't answer, still holding himself in the quilt. After waiting for a while, the lotus turned around and went out. It got some food and put it on the kang table. He was afraid that he would run into the ground again and then quietly locked the courtyard door from the inside. Longevity didn't move the nest for an afternoon. Lotus went into the house and saw him twice. The food on the Kang table didn't move at all. She ignored him. She was just afraid of annoying him.
The sun gradually fell, and the lotus was sitting in the outer room to receive the soles, and he saw Changsheng came out of the house without looking at her going out.
"What are you doing?" the lotus called.
Longevity didn't answer, went straight to the gate of the gate, saw that the gate was locked, froze for a while and ran to the house to find the key. The key was put on the lotus, he couldn't find it, so he ran around in the house anxiously and ran out again. Lotus didn't know what he was going to do, let go of the work in his hand and went out, but when he stood at the door and pulled the lock hard, he finally fell on the door and shouted while smashing the door vigorously.
Lotus said anxiously: "What are you going to do? If you say that you are not allowed to go to the ground, you promised that I would open the door for you if I didn't go to the ground."
Longevity ignored her and began to hit the door with his body.
The lotus was afraid, quickly took the key and opened the door lock, followed the longevity all the way to the village entrance before he was bored, yes, this time of the day he came to wait for the four grandma to come home.
The lotus was sitting on the big rock at the entrance of the village next to Changsheng for a while, and it was a bit boring. After thinking about it, he teased him and said, "Peanuts in your pocket give me a chant?"
Longevity didn't say anything, silently raised his hand and clutched his pocket.
The lotus teased him a few more times, and when he didn't have a reply, he talked to him no longer.
After sitting for a while, the two saw the figure of the four grandmothers appearing on the small road at the entrance of the village. The two got up and greeted them.
Changsheng took a small handful of peanuts from his pocket, counted them, and stuffed them with his four grandmothers: "Ten peanuts, don’t need it... The land is gone, don’t want her to be a daughter-in-law.
Grandma Four said, "I don't have any land. I'm optimistic. There is a lot of flat land in Houshan. You will open up the wasteland for Minger. That half acre of land is also your grandfather's hoe. "
"Oh." Longevity was pushed back, and his lips were speechless.
Lotus took advantage of her grandmother's carelessness and secretly uttered her tongue to Changsheng, and the winner smiled like that.
Changsheng mouth turned away.
Grandma Four glanced at the lotus: "What fun is it, can you make dinner?"
The lotus face suddenly looked up and said, "No, I'm just going to live forever..."
Grandma Four said coldly, "Cooking is a woman's job, and it's a matter of longevity. You, the daughter-in-law, still want him to wait for you to fail? Or do you wait for me to come home and serve you two?"
This time I changed the lotus to eat deflated. She was as obedient as longevity and hurried back to cook. Only she ran in a hurry, but didn't see the longevity like her, and threw her tongue at her lip.
