Chapter 1: Start reading

Lotus knew that her father had taken Liu Fugui's three bags of millet from the neighboring village and replaced her for a house. She knew that she was 21 years old and she was not outstanding. This is probably the result, but Liu Fugui was out of Shiliba Village The famous drunkard, the first wife was beaten by him because he couldn't stand it. She didn't want to know that the fire pit was still jumping in.
She told her dad not to marry Liu Fugui, and her dad glared at her, saying that you are still twenty-one and want to marry an old man to be a wife! Both of your sisters are married, and when do you want to eat and drink at home!
Lotus said that I did not eat and drink in vain, and I worked for my family. Her father rounded her eyes and scolded you for a fart! How can you top a man? Getting married early is serious! Dabao is sixteen this year, and it's time to touch her daughter-in-law, letting people know that there is an unmarried aunt in the family, which one is willing to marry the girl!
Speaking of which, lotus is nothing, she is not a man with strength, although she has been calling her a man for so many years at home.
The lotus father got angry and scolded the lotus again. At the end, a broom pimple was still on her and blasted her out. When she walked out of the room, the lotus lady gave her a pityful look, and this is the only one she could give her girl. Lotus sipped her smile, and the corners of her mouth hadn't cracked yet. Her mother was shouted by the angry father in the house to serve her feet.
The lotus stood at the door for a while, then she would cook as usual, and when she could do it, she would just put everything on the stove. When he went out, he saw his six-year-old brother Xiaobao took a branch and jumped back from playing outside.
The lotus beckoned Xiaobao and said, "You can cook the rice and put it on the stove. After a while, you tell the mother that I don't eat anymore. I will come back when I turn around."
Xiao Bao nodded and blinked his eyes, saying: "Will you eat me?"
Lotus laughed: "For you to eat."
Xiao Baole had learned what the adult looked like: "Don't come back too late, be careful that the wolf is holding it."
Lotus touched his head and smiled, and went out. In fact, she had no place to go, but just didn't want to hold back at home.
She turned around in the village and unconsciously walked to the entrance of the village. From a distance, she saw the fool Changsheng sitting on the big rock at the entrance of the village and looking out.
Lotus knew that Changsheng was waiting for his grandmother. His grandmother would go a long way every day to gather herbs in the mountains. At this time of the day, Changsheng would wait here and then help the basket back home.
Everyone in the village knew that longevity was a fool. Lotus hadn't spoken to him for a long time. At this moment, she suddenly wanted to talk to someone. A fool who didn't know anything was the best candidate.
The lotus walked to Changsheng, and he didn't react as if he didn't notice it.
"Wait for your grandma?" said the lotus.
Longevity turned back, staring at the lotus for a while, as if thinking about who she was. After a while, Fang Heng snorted, and turned back to continue looking at the village entrance.
Lotus sat down next to him, did not mind that he ignored her, and said for a while after silence: "I'm going to marry someone, my father took Liu Fugui three belt millet 　　 exchanged me for him to fill the house."
Longevity didn't answer, didn't look back, just looked at the path of the village entrance as seriously as it didn't.
Lotus ignored him, just whispering his head like a whisper: "Liu Fugui is a bastard, and has forced his wife to death... I don't want to marry him, but my father has taken him three bags of millet. , I know I can’t change it, but if anything comes into my dad’s hand, don’t think he will return it to others..."
"He just scolded me, saying that I was eating food at home, but I didn’t eat it. I followed him to work on the ground every day. Do you think there is a girl in our village who went to the ground? They said I was black Girl, did I get black all of a sudden, I didn’t work in the sun..."
The lotus was aggrieved, paused, sniffed, and said, "When I was sixteen or seven, the original people said that they were close, but still good people, but he refused, he was afraid that I would leave No one at home worked for him... Over the past four to five years, Dabao has grown up to deal with things, and he thinks I'm annoying... But I don't want anyone who wants to drag me into my twenties? It’s all my fault now..."
The lotus felt more and more uncomfortable, the tears turned around her eyes for a while, she couldn't hold it down, she didn't want to shed tears in front of the fool, she hurriedly raised her hands to wipe it, but the more she wiped her tears, the more she couldn't stop pouring out , And finally ignored it, letting the tears run down the cheeks.
Longevity turned back to see the lotus crying, looked at her for a while, lowered her head and took out a small handful of peanuts from the pocket of the dress, spread it in front of the lotus, looked closely, and picked the biggest one and put it back to her Mouth pocket, put the rest in front of her eyes.
The lotus stagnate for a moment and wiped her tears and said, "Why are you so disrespectful, and you have cried without seeing me! Give me the big one! I want the big one!"
Longevity didn't squeak, only covered the mouth pocket with the other hand, fearing that the lotus would rush to grab.
Lotus glared at him angrily, grabbed the peanut in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
Longevity looked at the empty palms, and then looked up at the peanuts in the mouth of the lotus. Nane said, "Choose one."
"Ok?"
"Peanut, choose one for you, you have eaten it."
"..."
At this moment, Lotus couldn't tell whether it was funny or annoying, but the grievances in his heart were lighter. He provoked him to eat the peanuts cleanly.
Longevity stared at the lotus, very wronged.
He looks like a lotus when she was a child. At that time, if she was wronged at home, she would go out like this, and she would definitely find a long life alone in a corner of the village. She would just find someone to yell at him. With two voices, it was comfortable to spread the grievances out of my heart, and Changsheng always kept silent, looking at her in confusion and innocence, and grievances on her face. More often than not, lotus felt sorry for herself, so when longevity was bullied by other children, she helped him in turn, just thinking it would be even. At this time, Changsheng never told her any words of gratitude, but stood aside in a daze and looked at it as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.
Later, everyone grew up, no one bullied longevity, and no one talked to him anymore. Lotus no longer remembers the last time when he talked to Changsheng for the last time. At this time, he saw that Changsheng exposed this expression to her and recalled his childhood. She looked at Changsheng for a while and said, "Changsheng, why don't I give you a daughter-in-law...Do you have three bags of millet in your house? Go help me and give Liu Fugui, I'll give you a wife-in-law... We grew up together as a child. Although you are a fool, it is ten million times better than Liu Fugui..."
Longevity frowned, somewhat unhappy: "I'm not a fool."
The lotus teased him: "Why aren't you a fool? If you're not a fool, what do you mean to tell me to marry a wife?"
Longevity was asked. After thinking for a while, I didn't know how to answer. I only shouted, "I'm not a fool! My grandma said, I'm not a fool!"
The lotus bent her lips and raised her chin. She replied like she was when she was a child: "That's your grandma lied to you! You are a fool! The whole village knows you are a fool!" Looks like.
Suddenly, there was a call not far away: "Eternal life..."
The lotus looked up, but the four grandmothers didn't know when to come back. The lotus was terrified, and the momentum just spoke to Changsheng was gone, just like a bunny stared at by the eagle, and quickly patted the and ran away.
These four grandmothers are long-lived grandmothers, because the grandfather of the long-lived is called Lao Huo when he is alive. Like most people in the village, lotus is a little afraid of grandma four. As a child, lotus can always see grandma with a stick chasing and bullying a child who is bullying. Although she has never been beaten by grandma four, she has never even been abused. But she was still afraid of her.
In fact, the four grandmothers are not long-lived grandma. She was only in her twenties when she married Huo's family. Calculated, she is about the same age as the lotus maiden, or even younger than her mother. The four grandmothers are not locals, and are said to have been rescued by the grandfather of longevity when they were hunting. The father and mother died when the longevity was very small. People say that the reason why his grandfather married a young man was that he wouldn’t take care of the longevity after a hundred years. Later, he died when he was ten years old. Always depend on each other.
Only the four grandmothers fled like lotus thieves, and walked over to Changsheng: "What did Li Jiada say to you?"
"Ah?" Chang Sheng's head tilted, and he slowly pulled a long voice.
"Lotus, what did the lotus say to you?" Grandma Four said.
"Oh..." Longevity lowered his eyes for a moment, and thought slowly: "Waiting for your grandma...I'm going to marry someone, my father took Liu Fugui three belts and replaced me with him to fill the house..." …Liu Fugui is a bastard, and has forced his wife to death... I don’t want to marry him, but my father has already received three bags of millet... Longevity, I’ll be your daughter-in-law... you can help me give it back Liu Fugui, I will be your daughter-in-law... you are a fool, and the whole village knows that you are a fool." Changsheng repeated the words that He Huashi said before.
Grandma Four frowned slightly after listening.
Longevity said: "Grandma, I am not a fool. What does it mean to marry a wife?"
Grandma Four didn't answer, only turned to look at the direction where the lotus ran away, thoughtfully.
The next day, the lotus father asked Dabao to carry the three bags of millet intact and return it to Liu Fugui, and for the first time in so many years he returned the things he had in his hands for the first time. He is not a loser, he got a bigger offer from the four grandma: half acres of arable land.
Lotus was surprised when she knew that she was allowed to be granted to Changsheng, and she heard that Grandma Four had replaced her granddaughter-in-law with half acres of land. It was even more incredible. She didn’t even be too happy for herself to escape Liu Fugui’s tiger mouth, nor for herself. She will be sad for a lifetime with a fool. She just thought that she might not be worth this half acre of arable land. With such a gift, the four grandmothers can find a younger and more beautiful daughter-in-law for Changsheng, and even beg two wives.
Ten days later, the lotus and the grown-up were married. There was no gongs and drums in the red-topped sedan chair. Only the old man in the village was playing the trumpet. The lotus was wearing her mother's wedding dress, and she was taken out of her house with a small baggage by her longevity. She could not see anything under the veil, only to hear the noisy and clamoring of many villagers around the road, occasionally The naughty child ran across in front of her, bent down and looked down at her with a hijab.
The two walked from the Li family in the west of the village to the Huo family in the east of the village. After they were admitted to the courtyard, the villagers gradually dispersed. The four grandmothers are notoriously awkward in the village. No one came to eat wedding wine, and she did not invite them. Except for the lotus family, she only came to Zhou Fuzi, a village doctor, and two neighbors.
The lotus is a newly-married lady. She doesn't eat with her. The four grandmothers took a small portion of the meal and put it on the table in the new house. They did not allow the lotus to be shy or thankful to go out. The lotus has never been a bride, nor knows the rules, just wondering if he should be reserved, but he hasn't eaten anything since the morning, he can't stand hungry, and he ate a clean meal.
Outside the house, because the longevity bridegroom officer just bowed his head and murmured to eat, he didn't care about anyone, and the lotus father would have looked down upon him. Hearing that he wouldn't even cry again, he didn't eat this meal for a while Just dispersed. Xiao Bao was reluctant to give up her sister, and wanted to stay a little longer, he was kicked by the lotus father, and cried away.
When everyone else was gone, the lotus took the empty bowl and went out, watching the four grandmothers packing up and walked across the road: "Grandma, let me come."
The four grandmothers did not speak, just like the lotus was the granddaughter-in-law who had been in the door for many years, and she cleaned up the wash. He called Changsheng into the house to speak. After finishing the lotus, she went to sweep the yard and chopped wood. She was as busy as she was at home all afternoon, and she didn't look like a new wife.
When it was time to sleep at night, the lotus began to feel at a loss. She deliberately rubbed outside for a long time. Until the four grandma shouted her voice in her house, she tugged into the new house.
In the house, there are common kang, and two sets of bedding are spread on both ends, separated by a long distance.
Longevity pointed to the futon and said, "This is mine, that's yours." After talking about it, he ignored the lotus and took off his clothes and drilled the bed.
Lotus stood stunned for a while, blew the lamp, and lay in his clothes under his clothes. He listened to the long-lived breathing of his life. Guess he was probably asleep, and his stiff body was loose.
Without the embarrassment in her imagination, think about it too, Changsheng is a fool, and the cave room must not understand anything, it seems that the four grandma or eager to hug her grandson.
The lotus breathed out, took off his coat while touching the black, and turned over to sleep.
