Chapter 56 Knocking on the Door at Midnight
"Little bastard, I don't want you to hurt others like this. I'll sue your father in a while, and let your father give you a hard bald (meaning beating)."

"Haha, don't go there. If you grow up like this, if you scare my father into a bad situation, you will have to pay for the medicine later. What are you trying to do?"

"You little bastard, farting all over your mouth, see how I will deal with you today, old lady."

Liu Cai's daughter-in-law fumbled for a stick while yelling, wanting to come over and beat Jiang Liu.

Seeing Liu Cai's daughter-in-law's stupid look, Jiang Liu twisted her body while looking for a stick, so much fun that she couldn't even straighten her waist.After laughing for a long time, the little kid said: "I tell you, don't be beautiful, you will have trouble tonight. Remember to ask your Tie Zhu to come to me then."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Liu still couldn't stop laughing, grabbed the bean root and ran home happily.Liu Cai's daughter-in-law thought that Jiang Liu was cursing herself because of what happened just now, and seeing the two of them running away, but she couldn't catch up, she stood there pinching her waist angrily and stood there pouting for a long time.

Dou Gen followed Jiang Liu back home, put the burden on the West House Kang, said hello to Lao Jiang and his wife, and hurried back to his home.Jiang Liu's mother wanted to keep him for dinner, but when she chased him out to call him, Dougen had already disappeared.

The son came back, and he hadn't seen him for a long time. The father was naturally happy, and he even had a meal at night.As a result, he didn't even get off the ground after drinking, so he lay down on the kang and went to find Duke Zhou.

After tidying up the dishes, Jiang Liu Niang pulled Jiang Liu, and the two of them sat on the kang, talking about the blind date.It turned out that the matchmaker was none other than Zhang Huangshang, and the woman was from Qipanshan, their village, and her surname was Tai and her name was Tai Yuehua.

The first time he heard this name, Jiang Liu's heart trembled.After studying with the blind man for three years, Jiang Liu can more or less understand ordinary things.

Another important reason is that the Thai surname is a Mongolian surname. As long as the surname is Thai, it must be a Mongolian person. There is nothing wrong with this.

As soon as he thought of the tall and burly Mongolian people, Jiang Liu's heart was immediately blown away.No, no matter what you say, you can’t agree to this matter.This thing, if the blind date succeeds in marrying such a daughter-in-law, and the couple quarrels in the future, with my little chicken body, I can't beat the daughter-in-law. This will reach the ears of Blind Han, so I can't laugh at myself to death!

After making up his mind, he started chatting with his mother with a playful smile on his lips. For a while, he talked about the funny things about Nanshuiquan's apprenticeship;

Jiang Liu's mother hadn't seen her own son for several months, seeing that he was happy with what he said, she didn't interrupt him, and let Jiang Liu keep on bluffing for nothing.

As a result, the two mothers chattered until after eleven o'clock at night, thinking that they would have to go to work in the fields tomorrow, so Jiang Liu said that he was sleepy and went back to the west room to sleep.

In fact, Jiang Liu mainly wanted his mother to go to bed early, but he himself was not sleepy, so he returned to the West Room Kang, pulled a pillow and lay on the Kang with his eyes closed, pretending to squint.

Thinking of what Dou Gen said to him during the day, he pondered over the boss for a long time, and couldn't figure out why Master left in such a hurry yesterday. Could it be that there is not enough time for a meal?
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and an anxious voice shouted: "Liu Zi, Liu Zi, get up quickly and go see what's wrong with my mother!"

When Jiang Liu heard the knock on the door, Ji Ling sat up all of a sudden, and agreed while lying on the kang.

"coming."

The people outside stopped knocking on the door after hearing Jiang Liu's answer.

After Jiang Liu opened the door, he saw a young man with an anxious face under the light in the room. After careful identification, it turned out to be Liu Tiezhu.

The moment he saw this kid, Jiang Liu immediately understood what was going on.He whispered to Tie Zhu, "Wait for me for a while."

Then he went back to the West Room, took out the yellow cloth bag on his back, closed the door gently, and followed Tie Zhu to their house.

On the way, Jiang Liu probably asked about the situation.

It turned out that around nine o'clock this evening, Liu Cai's wife said she was going to the bathroom.At that time, Liu Cai was thinking that there was no moon on this night, so he asked her to carry a lantern.But Liu Cai's daughter-in-law said it's okay, just touch the dark.

At that time, in the old-fashioned houses in the village, the toilets were all behind the house, and a hole was dug in a random place, and two wooden boards were placed across it.People in the village live in poverty, and not every family has a flashlight, and most of them still use horse lanterns.

But even if it is a horse lantern, it needs to burn kerosene, so many villagers go to the toilet in the dark at night. Fortunately, they are familiar with it at home, so they will not fall into the toilet.

The reason why Liu Cai's daughter-in-law didn't take the lantern was because she wanted to save a few cents of kerosene money, and because she also fell in love with a bottle of cream from the supply and marketing cooperative, so she didn't listen to what she was in charge of, and went to the toilet to discredit her.

However, after a long time passed, no one came back.Liu Cai was thinking about it at that time, thinking that he had been away for so long, and now he should come back after digging a toilet.No way, I can't see the way to smear, let's fall into the toilet, so I sent my son Tie Zhu to go to the back of the room to have a look.

The big lazy made the little lazy, and the little lazy stared.Although Tie Zhu didn't want to go, but the father said something, the son didn't dare to disobey, so he had no choice but to carry the lantern and reluctantly went to the back of the room.

As a result, Tie Zhu took the lantern and went to the room and turned around, but he didn't see anyone.Tie Zhu couldn't understand what kind of temperament his own mother was. At this time, he didn't find anyone. After thinking about it, he didn't need to ask, she must have gone out to visit again.

Thinking of this, he turned around and was about to go back to the house, but when he turned around, something hit him head-on, and it was still fleshy.Tie Zhu was quite puzzled, why didn't he pay attention just now, what is this?
Carrying the lantern to shine forward, Tie Zhu was almost scared to death at that time.

It turned out that his mother did not know when she stood behind him, and her face was pale and pale, her mouth was smeared as if she drank pig's blood, and for some reason, her hair was still loose.The black lights are blind, let alone the iron pillars, anyone who sees this suddenly will be scared to death.

Tie Zhu, a child, has been timid since he was a child. When he saw his mother like this, he screamed in fright. He didn't want the lantern, and ran back with a high jump.

After rushing into the house, he stammered and talked to Liu Cai for a long time before his father understood what was going on.He hurriedly ran to the back of the room to see that his daughter-in-law was lying on the ground right now.

After pawing for a long time, no one moved.Liu Cai became so anxious when his wife went to the bathroom.No matter how bad others looked at her, she was still her own wife.

Anxious in his heart, he came up excitedly, pulled his daughter-in-law to carry her and walked back, Tie Zhu would react and come out of the house again, just in time to see his father carrying his mother coming, and hurried up to help her.In this way, the father and two brought people back into the house.

After arriving in the house, she put the person on the kang, wiped her face with a towel dipped in cold water, and pinched the person for a long time before Liucai's daughter-in-law woke up.

He woke up, but he didn't seem to be in a good mood, sitting cross-legged on the kang with his head drooping.The father and father didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to ask, so they had to watch from the sidelines.

After staying there for a long time, Liu Cai's daughter-in-law raised her head, startled the father and two who were looking at her.Then Liu Cai's daughter-in-law said that she was too hungry and wanted to eat.Liu Cai wondered how long it had been since he finished his dinner. Are you hungry again?But there is no way, the daughter-in-law ordered, hurry up.

When Liu Cai's daughter-in-law had something to eat, both Liu Cai and his father were shocked.In the evening, I made stewed vermicelli noodles with cabbage, with stewed yam cubes in it, and a half of the lacquer basin, which was eaten clean.

That's not counting, I ate six more pancakes and drank two bowls of rice soup.After eating these, he asked Liu Cai for something to eat. Liu Cai was so scared that he didn't dare to bring it up.This guy eats more for one person than for a family. If he continues to eat like this, he will not be able to make people alive.

Liu Cai's daughter-in-law saw that she wouldn't get food, so she quit now, crying and making noises.When I was on the kang, I started nagging Liu Cai, saying that Liu Cai couldn't manage the family, couldn't manage his wife, and let his wife yell at him every day, so big old men might as well die if they live so long.

After talking about Liu Cai, he went on to talk about Liu Cai's daughter-in-law, saying how bad she was to herself, how she treated herself harshly, why she was not filial, and so on. In the end, she simply scolded her, and turned the eighteen generations of the couple's ancestors upside down. .Liu Cai, who scolded him, didn't dare to say a word, and didn't even dare to move when he poked the ground, his face turned red and white.

Tie Zhu listened to him for a long time, and now he will understand, the feeling is that his grandma attached to his mother.When Tie Zhu's grandma died, Tie Zhu hadn't given birth yet, so he didn't have any impression of his grandma, and he didn't know about these things.Hearing this now, and looking at his father's obedient appearance, the fool can understand that his feelings are due to his parents' disobedience, and he can't complain that he has never heard of his grandma in these years.

Thinking of this, the young man also had some opinions on Liu Cai and his wife.But it's just thinking about it in my heart, after all, they are my own parents, so what can I do.

Liu Cai was scolded for a long time, and felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to speak back.But going on like this is not an option, when will this have to be scolded.It suddenly occurred to me that during dinner, my daughter-in-law said that the child had returned, and the two scolded a few words in the village.

It turned out that Liu Cai's daughter-in-law had finished scolding Jiang Liu, and felt that there was no way to go to Lao Jiang to complain about such a small matter.Feeling angry in his heart, he returned home angrily, and told Liu Cai about it.

Liu Cai heard someone say that Jiang Liu went to learn Mr. Yin Yang.Now that the daughter-in-law is like this, Jiang Liu said during the day that something happened at night.In this way, he sent his son to invite Jiang Liu.

Tie Zhu certainly wouldn't say so much, but Jiang Liu is a man with a seven-aperture exquisite heart, and he knows what's going on after hearing Tie Zhu's general talk about his passing.
