Peasant spicy daughter-in-law

Chapter 21 The Man's Voice

The sun was warm, and a large number of people gathered in the open space at the east end of the village. The aunts and uncles were basking in the sun here.

"Do you know that this year, the substitute teacher of the primary school in our village was passed by the little widow of the Lu family. Why do you think she is so educated..."

"No, you didn't see the exam that day. Lili from Chen Tuhu's family wanted to be a class teacher with all her heart, but was cut off by a little widow. She got angry and quarreled on the spot..."

"So what? In the end, she is not Widow Han, but she became a substitute teacher. You know all this. Lili is interested in Principal Wu. Widow Han insists on fighting. What does this substitute teacher mean..."

"..."

Ever since Han Ruowei passed the exam as a substitute teacher at Kangqiao Primary School, and the aunt and uncle at the east end of the village, there has been a topic of discussion again.

"Uncle Guo is resting! Come smoke a cigarette."

"Hey! Eraizi, where is this another place to get good cigarettes?"

"It's not for helping others grow watermelons, they gave it to me! Haha..."

For these aunts, two sentences cannot be separated from the ridicule of the bum.

The eraizi was recuperating at home these days, and he didn't dare to go out easily, for fear that Han Ruowei would recognize him and report to the village chief, and he would inevitably be scolded again.

Now that the injury is healed, even if Han Ruowei recognizes him, there is no evidence to be found, so he dared to go out again and wandered around the village.

"I can't buy a cigarette if I'm a second-timer. You underestimate me too much. I can eat enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry. It's not like you. If you eat a white flour steamed bun, you think it's too big to bite."

Erlaizi said arrogantly, and lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath, and exhaled a cloud of white mist.

"What? Did the bastard get away with it? Or did you touch someone's watermelons and sell them? You are a bachelor, you don't know the difficulty of raising a family, and your tone is not small."

"Hey——I said auntie, in your mouth, I am inseparable from watermelon, so you can't say anything else? You can say so, why don't you introduce me to someone, I won't be a bachelor gone."

"As far as your three shabby houses, there are two leaves for you when the draft passes by. Which girl do you think is willing to be with you?"

Erlaizi talked here for a long time, but he didn't hear that someone went to knock on the door of Han Ruowei's house in the middle of the night, so he felt a lot bolder.

"Two leaves are also vegetables. No girl wants to follow me, even a young wife! Hehe..."

"You invisible thing, let you raise other people's children?"

"Why don't you raise a son for nothing and become a father directly! Hehe..."

Erlaizi smiled facelessly again, and Aunt Shi suddenly rolled her eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"You are really good! How about telling you about taking care of children?"

"Let's just say it! I'm afraid of nothing, but if you want to come to eat and drink for free, I can't do it."

"You who use these two leaves as vegetables, what else do you have for others to eat! I have never seen such a stingy person like you."

"This is a fair deal, otherwise I will suffer! Aunt Shi, Uncle Guo, you talk, I have something to do and I will leave first."

Erlaizi had a proud face, humming a ditty and left the east end of the village, letting Aunt Shi and the others talk non-stop behind his back.

"You say, how does this Widow Han match up with a bum..."

"Widow Han is not an ordinary person, can this bum be able to subdue her..."

"He is a poor bachelor, it would be nice to have a woman, and he has so much to do..."

In the evening, Han Ruowei and Xiaoying finished their meal and got ready to rest early.

In the past few days, I have been selling vegetables and making adobe to build houses. It is indeed tiring.

Before going to bed, Han Ruowei washed Xiaoying's feet, sat her down beside the bed, and brought her a pair of large scissors.

"Come here, Xiaoying, let mom cut your toenails. Your little feet are almost as sharp as knives. You can make a hole in your sewn socks after wearing them for a day."

"Xiaoying's feet are not knives! Knives are for cutting vegetables."

Hearing Xiaoying's childish rebuttal, Han Ruowei smiled lovingly, moved a wooden block, sat next to Xiaoying, clamped her calf under the big arm, grabbed her little foot with one hand, and used large scissors to Trimmed little by little.

"The nails are so long, if you don't cut them, they will grow into the flesh. When it's summer, I will give Xiaoying a red toenail."

"Xiaoying has to pack every single one!"

"Okay, everything is included..."

"..."

Han Ruowei and Xiaoying talked with a smile, looking forward to the beauty of summer.

After Xiaoying's toenails were cut, Han Ruowei measured Xiaoying's feet with his hands.

"Ah! Xiaoying's feet have grown so big, these shoes should be too small. I have to make a new pair of shoes for Xiaoying in the past two days."

"Xiaoying doesn't want new shoes, but Xiaoying's shoes can still be worn."

"You child, if you wear shoes that are too small, your feet will be damaged!"

Xiaoying looked at Han Ruowei, silently without saying a word.

Han Ruowei stood up, patted Xiaoying's head, picked her up, and stuffed her into the bed.

After tidying up the house again, I turned on the lamp and got ready to go to sleep.

"Sasha..."

Just as Han Ruowei was about to sit on the bed, there was a sound from outside the house.

The vigilant Han Ruowei frowned instantly, stood up on tiptoe, took two more logs, and put them behind the door before going to sleep in peace.

The current house, except for the roof, has not changed, and the surrounding walls have been built with adobe bricks. Even animals that run out generally cannot hold the adobe walls down.

"When, when, when..."

The door was knocked repeatedly, and Han Ruowei, who had just lay down, was suddenly woken up again.

This sound is definitely not a small animal, it is obvious that someone is knocking evenly.

"Aunt Fat, is that you?"

Normally, Han Ruowei had little contact with other people except for being close to Fat Aunt, so the only person who could knock on the door at this time could only be Fat Aunt.

"Sister-in-law is me!"

When a man's voice came, Han Ruowei's body suddenly trembled, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

"Who are you? I'm already asleep, so let's talk about it tomorrow!"

"Sister-in-law, just open the door, it's windy outside!"

As he said that, the man outside pushed the door vigorously, and the wooden stick behind the door sank into the ground immediately.

There was also a certain gap between the wooden stick and the door. At this moment, the man outside the door was still pushing the door.

Han Ruowei's mind immediately remembered what happened that night, and hurriedly got up quietly, put on his shoes, and took the shovel in his hand.

"It's inconvenient so late, come back tomorrow!"

Han Ruowei stood beside the door, holding up the shovel in his hand, and deliberately lowered his voice so that people outside the door thought she was still on the bed.
