after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 933

Chapter 933

About half an hour later, there was a sound at the door.

"Come out, old lady, we have met a kind person."

The old man returned with a bunch of pheasants in his hand, smiling all over his face. Behind him, Qi Heng was pulling firewood as high as a hill.

"Why did you fire so much firewood?"

The aunt was dumbfounded. The old couple had limited physical strength and could not lift heavy objects. When they were short of firewood, they went to the village to pick up some small branches and came back.

Taking advantage of the weather, turning it upside down a few times is enough to burn it for several days.

There is not much firewood at home today, and it looks like it will snow. In order to avoid starvation and cold, her old man went out to collect firewood at night, and she was not allowed to follow.

Old husband and wife, the old man has been like a day for many years, knowing the cold and the hot.

The aunt looked relaxed. Although she was poor, her life went smoothly. She took the pheasant from her husband's hand and said with a smile on her face, "This is a pheasant nest!"

Needless to say, the chicken must have come to kill the boy overnight, her wife is not capable of this.

The couple have lived in the village for decades. They have seen pheasants jumping around in the past, but their legs and feet are not flexible enough to catch up with pheasants and hares.

"The kid from the Qi family is really good at it, old woman, let's take advantage of it today and drink some chicken soup to nourish and nourish us!"

The old man patted the chicken feathers on his hand, packed the ticket and said, "Boy Qi, your aunt has no other skills. She cooks chicken soup very well. Everyone in the village praises it. Go wash up and wait for the soup and chicken when you come back."

"Master, seeing that my aunt is a quick person, she must be a good cook."

Qi Heng was very cooperative, found a hatchet, and helped the old couple chop wood.

He has great strength, and his hands are neat, and the firewood is neatly piled up into a small hill in a short while.

Lin Yuesha wasn't too cold, she stood aside and watched Qi Heng chop firewood.

Ordinary people live an ordinary life, eat rough tea and light food, eat sweet food, neither steal nor rob, have no enemies, and sleep soundly every night.

Like Qi Heng, he might not be able to appreciate their happiness.

If one day, Lin Yuesha sees through the glitz, she wants to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, away from the hustle and bustle.

Qi Heng chopped the firewood, Lin Yuesha was very discerning, and hurriedly served hot tea, which was praised by the old couple again.

"Yes, husband and wife just want the husband to sing and the wife to follow, and love each other. Life goes by quickly."

The old man lamented that if he had a next life, he would have to marry a wife earlier so that he could live a better life for a few more years.

"How early do you want to, I came to your house at twelve, we are the same age, we got married at fifteen, why don't you let me marry you at ten?"

The old lady laughed and scolded, "How old are you and you are not serious!"

"If I'm just like an old pedant talking all day long, it's going to give you a headache, how can we get along till now?"

When the old man talked about the scholar in the village, he saw the villagers drop their bookbags, and their mouths were full of economics. The villagers could not understand them, so they ran away when they saw the scholar.

The scholar also likes to test other people, and the passers-by in the town are all tested by the scholar, and they can't wait to come to apprentice.

Lin Yuesha heard this, and asked with great interest: "Since there are such capable people, why don't you take the exam and go a step further?"

"Girl, the old man didn't explain clearly. I'm afraid you have misunderstood. The scholar is in his twenties this year and hasn't married a wife yet."

Speaking of scholar, there is another story.

The scholar's family was originally a well-known landlord in this area, but his family's fortunes have fallen, and there are many books in the house.

His family asked him to study, but he refused life and death. He insisted on farming and being a wealthy idler.

"No, Xiucai's grandmother threw him to the old pine tree to reflect for a night in a fit of anger."

After only sitting for one night, the scholar suddenly became enlightened and took the initiative to go home to study. He didn't have a teacher, so he watched at home by himself and devoted himself to studying hard.

Who knows, if this person has opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, he will become full of knowledge in a short time without a teacher, and he has an excellent memory.

"That Xiucai Zhuang, the last time I saw me, I tested the ancient poems of my previous poets. I am a peasant, how could I do this?"

When the old man mentioned Zhuang Xiucai, his face was very helpless. He wanted to go home, but Zhuang Xiucai blocked the way and refused to let him go.

"Zhuang Xiucai said that I promise him to recite ancient poems before he can pass."

Others robbed houses and wanted money, but Zhuang Xiucai wanted knowledge, so the old man had no choice but to agree, and then he went home smoothly.

"For a while, I didn't dare to go out, for fear of meeting Zhuang Xiucai."

Speaking of that sad time, the old man lamented again and again. He hid at home for a few days, and heard from the villagers that Zhuang Xiucai went to the city to participate in the literary conference. As soon as the news came out, the whole village celebrated together.

Elderly people and children who stay behind closed doors are even more festive than Chinese New Year, and they come out for a walk one after another.

If we say that the biggest scourge in the village is Zhuang Xiucai.

After the celebration, the old man thought that the matter was exposed, so he rested his mind at ease and no longer avoided it.

Unexpectedly, three months later, the old man met Zhuang Xiucai who had returned to the village and greeted him naturally.

"The first thing Zhuang Xiucai asked me when he saw me was how my recitation of ancient poems was going!"

The old man was ashamed, Zhuang Xiucai remembered what happened three months ago so clearly, the old man admired it.

"Is Zhuang Xiucai asking the villagers to recite an ancient poem together?"

This Zhuang Xiucai is a character, Lin Yuesha has a heart of love for talents, if she gets people under her hands, she will no longer have to worry about piles of books.

"No, the village head recites the Three Character Classic, but it is more difficult for the dolls to recite. Zhuang Xiucai said, respect the old and love the young, so let me recite the simpler ancient poems."

In this way, the old man memorized the last sentence and forgot the next sentence. If he was the material for reading, he would not have to guard a few acres of land to live.

"If you see a person holding a folding fan in winter, you must stay away."

Don't look at it's dark now, Zhuang Xiucai is haunted by ghosts, maybe he will go out and wander around in the cold weather.

Similar to Zhuang Xiucai's wonderful things, the uncle can talk about it for three days and three nights without stopping.

Although Zhuang Xiucai's faults often harm the villagers, but his character is absolutely passable, and he will lend a helping hand when he sees any difficulties in the villagers.

Every New Year's Eve, Zhuang Xiucai would come to visit the house with snacks and bacon. He treated the villagers like his family and walked around from time to time.

"Grandpa, I'll take my wife to wash up first, and we'll talk when we come back."

It was getting late, Qi Heng interrupted the topic politely.

There is a natural hot spring in the village. Villagers carry water from the hot spring to wash at home, but it is cold in winter, so it is a bit cold to carry the water back.

Lin Yuesha first looked for a needle and thread, and made a menstrual belt. She couldn't take a bath when she was young, so she simply scrubbed and scrubbed.

"I heard from the old man that Zhuang Xiucai is a very interesting person."

Although it is annoying to see people test their knowledge, he has many good qualities.

There is also the old pine tree mentioned by the aunt. Zhuang Xiucai sat under the tree all night and thought about it. Could it be that the old pine tree is telling him?
"Wait until tomorrow you and I will see each other."

Qi Heng and Lin Yuesha looked at each other, and the couple knew that Ruo Zhuang Xiucai was a good coolie, as the villagers judged him to be.
