The Sweet Little Fulang

When the old Mrs. Zhang regained some strength, she shouted at Li Wanyun, "If you lose money and don't cover your man with the quilt, do you want to freeze my son to death?"

After she finished speaking, she felt that the word "death" was not good, she quickly pooh-pooh again, glared at Li Wanyun and said, "If you want to die, you will die.

Seeing that Li Wanyun was being scolded, the husband didn't dare to say a word, and sighed pitifully, but he couldn't do anything, so he called Mother Quanzi to go home.

Shen Xuanqing and the others outside the courtyard just came out when they met Lin Zhongcai and his son. Lin Zhong was the head of the ward, and he was old enough to read and write. Lin Zhongcai and Shen Xuanqing's grandmother are close relatives. They are far away, but they are also relatives. Shen Xuanqing's generation calls him uncle.

"Uncle and uncle are here." Wei Lanxiang said, and the brothers Shen Xuanqing called for uncle.

"It's Lanxiang, what the **** is going on? It's like this at night." Lin Zhong asked when he saw that it was them.

Shen Yaoqing said, "Uncle, when we came over, we saw Zhengzi and his mother fell to the ground. Zhengzi fell heavily and passed out, and his mother's leg was broken. I don't know much about it."

"Is that so, then do you want to invite your husband?" Lin Zhongcai walked to Zhang's courtyard, asking questions as he walked.

After all, they are elders, so Wei Lanxiang couldn't just leave, so she had to follow behind with her son again, and said, "Go, go, Dazhi and the three of them went."

"Uncle Lin is here." Quan Ziniang shouted, and Brother Zhen also called someone next to him.

There was no one else in the Zhang family at the moment, and Lin Zhongcai wanted to know what was going on. Quanzi's family was next door, so of course he had to ask.

"I also came out when I heard Mrs. Zhang shouting. As soon as I came out, I saw that she and Zhengzi were both lying on the ground in front of the door. Zhengzi didn't move at that moment." Quan Ziniang told the truth.

After entering the room, the old Mrs. Zhang cried out in a low voice because of the pain in her legs. After all, she was old, and she was able to endure it very well. When she saw Lin Zhongcai, she immediately cried and complained, saying that Dazhi and the others. When she lost her conscience, no one was willing to help her call Langzhong, and she would only go without blackmailing her with a jade pendant.

Although Lin Zhongcai is old, he is not confused. How old Mrs. Zhang is, he glanced at Shen Yaoqing again, and when he saw him shaking his head slightly, he knew that the old woman was talking nonsense, and scolded lightly, "I just ask you, what is Zhengzi? what happened?"

The old Mrs. Zhang wiped away tears and said, "My son said he was going to drink with Da Yang, and I went to look for him at night when he didn't come back. I never thought that he would fall in front of the door, so I went to help him slide also fell."

"Da Yang is also very hateful. When drinking is bad, you have to find me today. Isn't such a heavy snow intentional to harm people?"

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Li Wanyun who came in with the brazier, gave him a vicious look, and said, "It must be her, she must have broken her heart, pushed my son to the ground, and caused Zhengzi to fall so hard, I should have known it earlier. Kill this scourge!"

Li Wanyun was timid and afraid of death, and did not dare to go against the words of her husband and mother-in-law, but at this moment, she had not put down the brazier, and stood there in a daze, her face was pale and her eyes were red, her hair was messy, and there were tears and blood on her face. He opened his mouth to defend himself, but only said "I don't".

"Old Sister Zhang, what you said, I clearly saw that you and Zhengzi fell outside the door first, and Wan Yun came out of the courtyard to help you. She pushed it, don't slander good people with empty words. "Quanziniang couldn't stand it anymore, she took the brazier from Li Wanyun's hand and put it on the ground, and when the fire got so big, the copper basin was hot, and she had to burn a layer of skin off her hand.

"Is she still a good person?" The old man Zhang stared anxiously, but he was interrupted by Quan Ziniang when he wanted to continue.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's quiet at night, I poured the urinal for my grandson in the yard, but I heard a thud outside, like someone fell, and it's not over, you shouted and asked if it was a positive son, I thought it was a positive son I didn't think much of it after I fell on my butt, and then I went back to get the urinal, and I heard you howling."

Quanzi's parents are a pair of good-natured people with good hearts, and they are friendly with everyone in the village, but now seeing the old Zhang Shi wronging Li Wanyun, Quanzi's mother can't stand it any more, and she justifies the little Zhang Shi once they are ruthless. .

What she said was very reasonable. Xiao Zhang's family was a weak woman, how could she have the courage to push her husband, not to mention that Quan Ziniang was a kind person in the village and was not a liar, so Lin Zhongcai believed it a little.

"Zhengzi seems to have slipped on the urine." Shen Xuanqing said.

Seeing that everyone in the room was looking at him, he said, "The pool of urine in front of the courtyard has turned yellow on the snow, and it is difficult to identify it at night, but you can tell from the dark color on the snow that Zheng Zi doesn't smell like urine, Lao Zhang. My aunt has it all, but it slips when I step on it."

There was indeed a smell of urine in the room, let alone Shen Xuanqing, other people were anxious just now, and now they can detect it after thinking for a while, so Shen Yaoqing said, "He went to drink, he should come back to relieve himself under the wall, and stepped on it without paying attention. already."

"There is blood on the stone outside. It must have been left by Zhengzi when he fell down and knocked his head on it." Shen Xuanqing's hunting habit, even in the hustle and bustle, was able to concentrate and observe the surroundings. the light was seen.

Lin Zhongcai nodded, Zhang Zhengzi's mother said that he was indeed going out for a drink, so things became clear, and even the old Mrs. Zhang couldn't speak when he smelled the smell of urine on his body.

He walked over to take a look at Zhang Zhengzi on the bed, took a breath, and found that the breath was very weak, and there was blood on the pillow, which was flowing quite fast, and he was shocked.

"Quickly pound some medicine to stop the bleeding!" Lin Zhongcai retracted his hand and said immediately.

Seeing that his expression was not right, the old Zhang started to cry for a while, slapped his left leg while crying and scolding.

Lin Zhongcai was disturbed by her crying, and stopped, "Shut up!"

"There is myrrh at home." Li Wanyun's eyes were dull.

Shen Xuanqing didn't want to take care of the Zhang family, but when he saw Zhang Zhengzi bleeding from the back of his head, his face was better when he brought it in, and now he became more and more pale, and said, "I have a big thistle root there, I'll go get it. "

Jinchuang medicine is the best to stop bleeding, but it is expensive. Ordinary people don't have spare money to buy it. Shen Xuanqing thought about buying some when he had money. It was very dangerous to go hunting in the mountains. Looking forward to buying it in spring.

At this time, Father Quanzi called Zhang Musheng's family over. Many people were asking questions, and the house became chaotic again. The old Mrs. Zhang was still crying for a while and crying because of his leg pain.

Wei Lanxiang and Lin Zhongcai said a word, and went back with Shen Yaoqing first, they were just outsiders, at most they could give some medicinal herbs, and nothing else could help.

Xian Dajigen is good to stop the bleeding, but it's good to do something now. This mess in the Zhang family has nothing to do with him. Shen Xuanqing didn't stay long, and left after giving the medicine.

—

Early the next morning, the story of Zhang Zhengzi's family spread in the village.

The snow stopped, and Lu Gu was cooking in the kitchen around noon. He was close to Zhang's house, only three houses away. He could hear the movement over there, and many people came in and out.

Last night, Shen Xuanqing told him that Zhang Zhengzi was drunk and knew how to handle it. He stepped on the urine and slipped himself, and he fell and knocked his head. He was stunned. Yes, there are people who lie down to sleep after drinking, get drunk and get stuff in their stomachs, and they choke to death if they can't spit it out.

After listening to Lu Gu Xindao, being drunk is really not a good thing.

"Brother Millet, I'll give you something to eat." Shen Yan came in and handed him two red dates, and sat down in front of the stove to make a fire.

Dried jujube is sweet, and Lu Gu eats it while cutting woks. In winter, there are few other vegetables, so you can’t eat this every day. Once it is fried and stewed with tofu, sometimes it is stewed with some meat. As long as there is oil and water vegetables, it is very fragrant.

Shen Yan added a handful of firewood to the stove, glanced outside and said, "The sun is out, Brother Gu Zi, if tomorrow is clear, can we make steamed buns?"

Eating steamed buns all day, she felt a little craving for steamed buns.

Lu Gu turned his head and said, "Alright, there are not many steamed buns left. I will make more noodles tomorrow, and steam the buns and steamed buns together."

Outside the courtyard, Shen Xuanqing pushed the snow off the trees in front of and behind the house, so as not to break the branches, especially the persimmon tree. When he heard them talking about steamed buns, he suggested: "Isn't there two hanging meats? It's been three days, it's better to cut it into large pieces to make a steamed bowl, put some fried tofu in it, and then you can eat it hot when you want, and then go buy it if you want to eat fresh meat."

Ji Qiuyue was sitting in the main room chatting, heard his words and laughed: "This is good, the meat is soft and fragrant when steamed, you can eat it in a steamed bun, if you feel fat and greasy, apply some chili oil, and sour What about cowpeas?"

"Okay, we will steam together tomorrow." Lu Gu smiled lightly.

While they were talking, Wei Lanxiang came back, and the Zhang family had to go to see how many neighbors had an accident. The old Zhang family was usually sloppy, and he was stingy when he brought things and saluted, but at least he was close to the dozen or so households in the village. There is a relationship, and the eggs and meat are reluctant. After all, Mrs. Zhang has never brought it to anyone else, and no one needs to bring it to her, but she has to scoop some rice and noodles over there.

"Mother, how is it?" Shen Xuanqing asked.

Wei Lanxiang sighed and said, "Zhengzi hasn't woken up and can't even feed the medicine. Wang Langzhong didn't say anything else, but..."

When she said this, she shut up. If she was heard, it would mean that she didn't say good things behind her back and cursed Zhang Zhengzi to death.

Seeing that Ji Qiuyue was calling, she walked over and said, "Don't go out these days, there are many people outside, what should you do if you bump into each other."

"I know mother." Ji Qiuyue replied.

Lu Gu's vegetable-cutting hand slowed down. He understood what Wei Lanxiang meant. The hideous look of Zhang Zhengzi hitting Li Wanyun yesterday was still lingering in his mind, but he was lying in bed all night and couldn't even take medicine. go in.

just in case…

What should Wan Yun do at that time, his worries were quickly interrupted.

"Brother Millet, let's also make some stuffing with purslane. I will soak some in a wooden tub at night, otherwise it will be all buns." Shen Yan was still thinking about eating buns.

It's not that she is heartless. She has seen Zhang Zhengzi beat people several times. Shen Yaoqing said that the man who beats his wife and daughter-in-law is not a man. She doesn't like each other. , I usually stay far away from Zhang's house, so I won't come forward. There is something wrong now, and she doesn't want to pay attention to it. Their family's life has just passed, and she doesn't understand those things.

"Okay." Lu Gu agreed, chopping vegetables faster, so much purslane is for the family to eat, and this steamed bun is also fragrant.
