The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 62

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the babysitter He Lian returned to the Great Wasteland, and He Tao was very happy to finally be freed from the "heavy housework".

"Little sister, what's wrong with your ears?" He Tao looked at He Lian's red and swollen earlobe distressedly: "Is this frostbite? Didn't you apply oil?"

Most people in the village have chilblains. He Tao also had chilblains on his hands and feet when he left Zhang's house.She had heard people say that as long as she had frostbite once, it would recur every winter, so she wiped her hands and feet with face cream every day after winter, and did enough protection work. He Lian was also asked by her to wipe it every day , the effect has been good.It doesn't make sense that He Lian would get frostbite after a few days away, unless she forgot to apply grease herself.

"Well, I forgot for a few days." He Lian glanced at He Tao with some guilt, and returned with her head lowered sullenly.She didn't tell the truth - in fact, it was because the ear was torn by Mrs. Zhou, and it didn't help to smear it with grease.

In fact, she herself didn't quite know why she didn't tell the truth. Maybe it was because she thought she was stupid. She clearly knew that Da Zhou was greedy for money and brought the money to her without concealing it; If there is a conflict, in short, my heart is in a mess.

"You!" He Tao poked her on the forehead: "I told you a long time ago that I must remember it, and I must never forget it in the future!"

"En!" He Lian nodded.

"What's the matter? You don't look happy at all, do you want to play at home for a few more days?" He Tao touched her head, wondering if she was squeezing the nanny too much?
He Lian shook her head vigorously, raised her head with a big smile, and said exaggeratedly: "I don't want it! I miss Dongzhi and Dongye!"

Fu Shi squeezed over at the right time and said, "Dong Zhi and Dong Ye miss you too, you can take them to sleep tonight!"

He Tao kicked him - can you be a little ashamed!
Fu Shi smiled and touched the place He Tao kicked.

Seeing the husband and wife interacting silently, He Lian laughed instantly, and resumed her usual chattering manner, talking to them about gossip during the Chinese New Year.

On the second day of junior high, He Lian and He Youliang followed Xiao Chen back to her natal home to visit her grandpa and grandma's grave, and of course they couldn't do without going to the nominal uncle's house, Chen Deqing's house, to pay New Year's greetings.

Why is it called a cousin in name, because Chen Deqing is the younger brother of the Chen family, but the patriarch decided to adopt him to a childless couple in the clan as heirs shortly after he was born.When Xiao Chen was not married, she often went to see this little brother secretly. The siblings didn't say they were close, but they still kept in touch.In addition to visiting her parents' graves every year when she goes home, she just wants to meet this younger brother. In her words, Chen Deqing is her only natal family.

This time Chen Deqing told Mrs. Chen a news that someone saw Chen Dehong in the provincial capital!
Chen Dehong, the eldest brother of Xiao Chen and Chen Deqing, sold himself to a wealthy family 20 years ago to become a domestic slave, and has never been heard from.

It was Chen Dahu from Erdong Village who spread the news.Chen Dahu is going to marry his precious daughter in the spring, and he rushed to the provincial capital to buy a dowry a year ago. When he was in the silver shop, he happened to meet Chen Dehong who was working for the owner.Chen Deqing also inquired about Xiao Chen's family from Chen Dahu, and when he heard that she married into his aunt's house, he even said that he would send her a letter or something.

Xiao Chen cried as soon as she heard it, first she said "I didn't expect my elder brother to remember me", cried for a while and then scolded "Why didn't he think he had a girl more than 20 years ago", and then cried all the way back I went to Rongshu Village, and when I returned to He's house, I kept talking to myself, "I don't know when the letter will arrive" and so on.

He Lian spread her hands at the end: "Mother is already crazy, she's been talking about this now, and she's always saying that the letter will arrive when she doesn't know."

He Tao felt that the cheap uncle was just talking about the scene, just as Xiao Chen himself said, "Why didn't I think I had a girl more than 20 years ago?" She is destined to be disappointed.

However, what does all this have to do with He Tao? After she heard it, it was over.

After the couple had eaten their fill at night, Fu Shi hugged He Tao and touched her arm in a daze.

"What are you thinking?" He Tao asked, lying on his chest.

"I think of my uncle!" Fu Shi replied.

"You miss your uncle when you're done with me?!" He Tao thumped violently when he heard this, and Fu Shi grinned as he let her beat him.After He Tao finished beating, he asked seriously: "I haven't heard you mention your uncle before, why did you suddenly think of it? Did you hear your little sister mention that uncle, so you miss your uncle? "

"No. In fact, years ago, my second uncle told me that my uncle went to sell furs in our shop, and they had a chat. The second uncle said he asked my uncle to come to our house, but my uncle said no. It’s a shame to come to the door!” Fu Shi sighed, recently, especially in the past few days after the New Year, he has been hesitating whether he should also go to his uncle’s house to pay a New Year’s greeting, and then walk away with this relative.

"Daughter-in-law, you don't know. Everyone in the village thinks that I have been married twice and married a wife. Oh, it was before you. In fact, I have been married three times. The first one is my uncle's family. The doll ordered by my cousin..."

"Fuck, do you miss your uncle, or your uncle's little cousin?" He Tao twisted his waist, full of jealousy.

"No way, of course I miss my uncle!" Fu Shi grabbed her hand and said helplessly, "My cousin is five years younger than me. To me, she is..."

"What is it? Say it!" He Tao bared his teeth.My wife is eight years younger than you!
"What I mean is, well, I really don't mean that to her!" Fu Shi was about to swear, and said quickly, "As soon as my bad reputation started to show signs, my aunt ran home and said she would retire. Kiss."

"If you haven't divorced, you still want to marry her, right?" He Tao continued to make trouble for no reason.

Fu Shi was speechless, if he didn't resign his marriage, he would indeed have to marry - but isn't this a resignation!

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore," He Tao pulled his arm to use it as a pillow, and said very comfortably after lying down, "Go on!"

He Tao's own "before" cannot be said. The "before" that can be said is the experience of the original owner. She has no desire to talk about it at all, so she has always avoided talking to Fu Shi about "what happened when I was a child" Yes, I'm afraid that if you say something you can't say, you will end up being drenched in dog blood and then burned to death.Now that Fu Shi took the initiative to talk about his past affairs, and He Tao didn't need to exchange his information, she was naturally willing to listen, so she just listened to a bedtime story.

"Later my father went, and everyone in the village said it was my fault. No one wanted to talk to me, and even ganged up to bully me. At first, when my mother saw that I was beaten outside, she would run to quarrel with others, but later my mother There is no other way, everyone said so, she can only lock me in the house and not let me go out. But some people gossip, saying that if I finish beating my own family members, I will be beating other people in the village, and some children still take advantage of it When my mother went out to do farm work, she ran to my house and made trouble!"

Fu Shi remembered what happened at that time, and the more he talked, the more excited he became. He Tao quickly stroked his chest to comfort him: "It's all over, those people are stupid!"

Fu Shi calmed down a bit, covered her with his palm, and continued, "Mother really had no other choice, so she took me to my uncle's house and let me live there for two years."

"Your aunt made your cousin divorce you because of this, are they still willing to take you in?" He Tao's eyes widened.

"At first I refused, mainly because my aunt didn't agree, but I had no other place to go, so my mother told my aunt that even if my son was a funeral star, he would still have the surname of Fu. It's not your turn to die!" Qin Shi was in a hurry to speak, it was the first and only time Fu Shi heard the word "Sangmenxing" from Qin Shi's mouth.

"So your aunt agrees?" He Tao's mouth twitched, it was too easy!

"How is it possible!" Fu Shi sighed and said, "It's thanks to the money in the end! My mother said that if my uncle's family takes me in, I will give them two taels of silver every year..."

"Your aunt must have treated you badly, right?" He Tao said as a matter of course.The eldest aunt must be greedy and selfish. She won't care about Fu Shi's life and death when she gets the money. She must be using Fu Shi as a long-term worker and oppressing him like Zhou Papier!
"My aunt's words are a bit harsh, but she's okay with me, anyway, it's not short of my food and drink."

It's just that the food is one level worse than her own child, but it is completely understandable, after all, it is not her own.

"My parents have been hunters for generations, and I learned hunting from my uncle. The one who treats me the best over there is my uncle. Although he said that I am shameless and kicked out of the house, he has been teaching me very seriously. Me, let me practice hard, and anyone who dares to bully me in the future will fight back with his fist. He even fought with my aunt because of me! After the fight, my aunt kicked me out, saying that it was because My family is going to break up, so let me go back wherever I came from!"

Fu Shi was only eight years old that year. After being kicked out, he only wanted to go back to his home, but got lost halfway, hid in the woods and froze all night, and was found by Uncle Qin the next day.Fu Shi had a high fever when he went back, and the aunt took care of him and still kept scolding him, and kept repeating that he should leave immediately when he recovered.Of course, this time Fu Shi didn't leave. He stayed in Qin's family when he recovered from his illness. He lived there for nearly five years. He didn't return to Rongshu Village until Qin became seriously ill.

"After my mother left, I was the only one left. I packed my bags and went to my uncle's house. My aunt stood at the door and refused to let me in. She fought with my uncle again in front of me, saying The Fu family has been crushed to death, if they stay in her house, they will have the surname of Qin!"

"What about the second uncle at that time? Didn't the second uncle always treat you very well? Why did you go back to the Qin family?" He Tao asked puzzled.

"Second uncle was also afraid of me at that time!" Fu Shi laughed and said, "At that time, there was no food left at home. After I came back, I was hungry for several days before thinking of hunting by myself. There was no hunting gear at home, so I opened the door , I made my own hunting fork. I was doing it in the yard, and I fainted while doing it. I was in a daze when I heard someone calling me, and I saw that it was my second uncle lying on the wall calling my name..."

He Tao thinks about Fu Quan today, and thinks about how he was lying on the wall carefully ten years ago, and she is also happy to compare the two.

"Second Uncle saw that I was awake, so he threw a bag of steamed buns over. After that, Second Uncle would give me something through the wall every day."

"..." He Tao's cheeks twitched. Is this for feeding?Raise Fu Shi like a dog!

"After a long time, the second uncle would occasionally say a few words to me, and then the second uncle was no longer afraid of me. In winter, he wanted to throw firewood over the wall for me, but he almost twisted his waist without throwing it. The next day, Second Uncle came over directly carrying firewood. Since then, Second Uncle has never avoided me again.”

Hey, sure enough, everything has a process!He Tao shook his head, there really are not many people here who are not superstitious, it is already very good for Fu Quan to be able to do this, at least he really wanted to treat Fu Shi well later on.

"Later, I followed Brother Ergou and signed up to join the army. My second uncle beat me up with a shoulder pole, saying that I was unfilial and sorry for my parents. When I left, my second uncle drove me to the town in a bullock cart. He scolded me, and when I really wanted to leave with the captain, the second uncle cried and told me repeatedly that he must come back alive."

He Tao burst into tears when he heard this, what happened to the uncle and nephew is quite touching!

"Daughter-in-law, why are you crying?" Fu Shi wiped her tears, and said at a loss, "Why are you crying?"

"It's nothing, I just heard what you said, and I want to cry." He Tao sniffled and said, "By the way, I misled everything. You were talking about uncle, but you want to visit your uncle." ?"

"En!" Fu Shi nodded.He also always remembered how kind his uncle was to him, and now his life is going smoothly, and he is not afraid of visiting the door anymore.

"I wonder if I should go to pay New Year's greetings or something during the New Year's Eve."

He Tao turned his eyes and asked, "Is that cousin of yours married?"

Cousin is the most dangerous thing, besides, she is a cousin who has been engaged to a kiss!

"Should have married a long time ago, she should be nineteen this year!"

What if you are not married? There are also people who are not married at the age of 19!
He Tao was tangled and tangled, and in the end, she was suspicious and won out. She bit her lip and said, "Why don't we go again next year, Dongzhi and Dongye will grow up a little next year, and we can travel far away. Then we will be together as a family." Go to pay New Year's greetings to uncle."

Fu Shi took a look at He Tao, a narrow-minded daughter-in-law!However, he nodded and agreed to He Tao's proposal. After ten years of waiting, do you still care about waiting for another year?
