The Xu family had a headache because the boy they rescued said that he could not remember his name or his family, and he had nothing on him to prove his identity. Xu Dongmei chatted with him for a while and felt

This young man is well-spoken and probably does not come from a poor family. Moreover, although the clothes he wore before are in tatters, judging from the material, they are all high-quality silk and satin.

After Xu Dalong rescued Shui Sheng from the river, he saw that Shui Sheng's clothes were in tatters, so he put his old clothes into a new set for him. But the strange thing was that even if Shui Sheng changed into Xu Dalong's clothes, it would not look like he was wearing Xu Dalong's clothes.

But he still doesn't look like a mountain man, more like a young man in trouble. People's skin and temperament can never be hidden.

The family was not rich to begin with, but suddenly there was another mouth to eat, and this mouth was still recovering from an injury. It needed fish, meat, eggs and other things to supplement nutrition, so two old hens in the Xu family suffered.

Unfortunately, he was killed by Xu Dalong. Xu Dongmei stewed the old hen into soup for Shui Sheng to drink. Although Xu Dongmei felt sorry for the old hen, saving people is far more important than two chickens!

In order to make ends meet, Xu Dalong could only get up early and come home late every day, catching fish for two more hours every day. Xu Dongmei also had to spin cloth for two more hours every day in order to maintain the family's daily expenses. I don't know the name of this one, so I can only temporarily call it

The boy who was born in water was very grateful for the careful care of the Xu siblings, and at the same time he felt very sorry. However, his body had not recovered, and he could not get up to do anything to help the Xu siblings.

The medicine prepared by Uncle Gu was indeed very effective. After Shuisheng drank the medicine for three days, his wounds improved significantly. In addition, his physical condition was quite good. After five days, he started trying to walk on the ground with a stick. It was really amazing.

On the seventh day, Shuisheng lost his walking stick and staggered over, walked up to Xu Dongmei who was weaving in front of the window, scratched his head, and said with gratitude: "Sister Xu, you see, my health is much better.

Can you let me do something that I can do? We are not relatives, but you took me in, but I just eat and take medicine every day and don’t work. I feel really sorry!"

Xu Dongmei was a little shy and said with a kind smile: "Shui Sheng, your injury is very serious. It has only been seven days, and it is still early to recover! I understand what you are thinking. Now there is just one more person to eat in the family. I have more people to eat every day."

By spinning cloth for two hours, Dalong can make a living by catching fish and shrimps for two more hours every day. Let's hold on for a while. When you recover from your injury, we can think about work again. We are not short of such a few days.

!”

Shuisheng had no choice but to endure it, but he didn't like lying on the bed very much. He would go down to the ground to feed the chickens, tease the dogs, and exercise. Soon the chickens and dogs regarded him as a member of the family.

, especially the big yellow native dog, which wagged its tail when it saw aquatic creatures. Seeing that chickens and dogs got along well with aquatic creatures, Xu Dongmei was also quite pleased.

After another seven days, Shui Sheng's wound on his chest was almost healed. Only faint marks could be seen on the wounds on his chest and back. Shui Sheng couldn't bear it anymore and ran to the small vegetable garden behind the house to pull cucumbers.

After starting the grass, of course I also picked a cucumber and gnawed it. I also borrowed flowers to offer to Xu Dongmei. I picked a cucumber, washed it and handed it to Xu Dongmei who was spinning with a flattering look on her face, "Sister Dongmei, are you tired? Come here.

, eat a cucumber!”

Xu Dongmei stopped the loom and raised her head to look at Shui Sheng. She saw it in her eyes and felt happy in her heart. She didn't expect Shui Sheng to recover so quickly. Most people would not be able to recover from such a serious injury in half a year. This guy's

Her physical fitness is really impressive! Xu Dongmei stretched out her hand to take the cucumber handed over by Shui Sheng, nibbling on it, a strange feeling arose in her heart.

Except for her younger brother, Xu Dongmei rarely interacts with young men. This guy named Shui Sheng is quite handsome. He has been living under the same roof every day for half a month. Especially in the first few days after arriving, Shui Sheng was seriously injured.

He couldn't move, so it was Xu Dongmei and Xu Dalong who changed his dressing. When changing the dressing, skin contact was unavoidable, and Xu Dongmei actually felt a little secretly in love.

I remembered that my parents died early, and no one cared about my life-long affairs. Girls from poor families usually get married when they are fourteen or fifteen years old. I am sixteen or seventeen years old, but I am still waiting to be married. But there are only so many people in the village.

Xu Dongmei didn't like any of the young men, but would she just stay at home and become an old girl? Thinking of the things that were difficult to express to others, Xu Dongmei couldn't help but sigh while sitting in front of the loom.

Shuisheng, who was munching cucumbers, saw Xu Dongmei's face looking a little sad. He quickly came over to comfort her and said half seriously and half jokingly: "Sister Dongmei, do you think I eat too much every day?"

?How about I go out to find some work tomorrow, earn back the food and medicine money first, and then slowly repay Sister Dongmei and Brother Dalong for their kindness!"

Xu Dongmei shook her head, couldn't help but glance at Shuisheng a few more times, and whispered: "Did we rescue you just to repay some kindness from you?" She secretly thought in her heart, although this fool is so handsome and handsome,

But how can you understand the girl’s thoughts?

Shui Sheng insisted on chopping firewood, carrying water and doing something, saying that he would get rusty if he stayed like this any longer. No matter how much Xu Dongmei tried to persuade Shui Sheng, he refused to listen. Xu Dongmei had no standard, so she had to let him do something.

Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu, who came to visit Shui Sheng after dinner, saw Shui Sheng chopping firewood with a big ax next to the courtyard. Aunt Gu smiled and said to herself: "This young man Shui Sheng is really energetic, so he feels better now."

, he ran out to chop firewood, he is quite capable! It would be great if I could marry a girl like Dongmei. Dongmei is also hard-working, and Shui Sheng is also hard-working, so I will definitely have a good life!"

When Xu Dongmei heard what Aunt Gu said, her face turned red to the roots of her ears. She pretended not to hear and just let Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu into the room. Aunt Gu entered the room, but Uncle Gu stood in front of the window, stroking

He said proudly with a beard: "How about it, I'll just say that my medicine has miraculous effects! Look, Shuisheng's injury healed quickly after using my medicine!"

Xu Dalong, who had just returned from fishing, put down his fish basket and rolled his eyes, "Uncle Gu, I know your medicine is very useful, but the body of this aquatic guy must be different to have this effect, right? Most people have suffered such severe injuries.

The injury will never recover so quickly. If you don’t believe it, let’s make a bet!” The two of them stood under the window and started arguing. Uncle Gu blew his beard and glared angrily.

Shuisheng was concentrating on chopping firewood when he heard Uncle Gu and Xu Dalong arguing fiercely. He turned around and saw the two people standing under the window talking. He quickly put down his ax and came over to salute Uncle Gu and thank him for the medicine. Xu Dalong smiled.

Said: "Shui Sheng, you are so heartless. You only thank Uncle Gu for the medicine, but you don't thank me for rescuing you. You don't thank my sister for bringing you soup and medicine every day like a little daughter-in-law?"

In one sentence, both Shui Sheng and Xu Dongmei were embarrassed. It's no wonder that Xu Dalong goes out to fish every day, leaving early and coming back late. During the day, there are only this couple of unrelated orphans at home. The village is small, and the people in the village

We already know that the Xu family brothers saved a handsome young man who fell into the water. After a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some gossip, which is human nature.

After getting along with each other these days, Xu Dalong really likes this boy who can only be called Shuisheng for the time being. This boy is also handsome and smart. It would be great if he could be his brother-in-law, but it is a pity that his origin is unknown. Xu Dalong

What I said just now may not be without the meaning of testing. I just want to see if Shuisheng is interested in my sister.

Shuisheng blushed and bowed deeply to the Xu family siblings, "Sister Dongmei, brother Dalong, thank you for saving me. It's a pity that I can't remember who I am, my hometown and my relatives now.

Moreover, I am penniless, and even the clothes I am wearing belong to brother Dalong. I can’t repay you now! How about you introduce me to a job tomorrow, and I will make money, and slowly pay back what you have advanced these days.

Medicine money and rice and grain money?”

Xu Dalong blushed and said with a displeased look on his face: "Shui Sheng, I don't like hearing what you say. The former teacher in our village once said that everyone has a hidden heart! When I saw a

When a person falls into the water, and I have the ability to save him, how can I not save him until he dies? When I save you, am I still thinking about how you will repay me in the future?"

Seeing that Xu Dalong was anxious, Shui Sheng was very embarrassed and said, "Brother Dalong, don't get me wrong! I don't mean what you think when I say this. As the saying goes, a favor should be repaid by a spring, let alone a life-saving favor.

?It’s just that I really don’t have the ability to repay you now! You two siblings saved me, and I don’t even have the heart to repay you, so do you think I can still be considered a human being? Right?"

Aunt Gu smiled and asked: "Shui Sheng, how about I help you match up? You see, the boy is getting married and the girl is getting married. Dongmei is already a grown-up. She hasn't found a suitable family yet, and you are single again."

You don’t have a family, so you might as well get together with Dongmei. Dongmei is good-looking and you are handsome. Isn’t this a match made in heaven? What do you think of this? "

As soon as the words came out, Shui Sheng and Xu Dongmei both blushed and glanced at each other. Xu Dongmei lowered her head in silence, rubbed her clothes with her hands, and became uneasy, suddenly a little afraid that Shui Sheng would refuse the marriage.

Shuisheng sighed, "Aunt Gu, I thank you.

, It’s just that I feel uneasy, you old man thought, now I can’t remember who I am, what my name is, and I can’t remember my hometown, my relatives, and I don’t know if I have a wife and children. What if one day I

Suddenly I remembered that I was already married and had children, wouldn’t that have deceived Sister Dongmei?”

Everyone looked at each other, nodded, and became silent. It was indeed true. Uncle Gu suddenly laughed and patted Shui Sheng on the shoulder, "Men, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines. I see you

With his temperament and demeanor, I'm afraid he is the troubled son of a rich family! If you are really caring, even if you think about who you are in the future, can't you just live up to Dongmei?"

Shuisheng shook his head and asked distressedly: "Uncle Gu, I have to find a way to remember who I am first! Do you have any medicine that can help people restore their memory?"

Uncle Gu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Boy, your Uncle Gu is a local doctor, not a fairy! Is there any medicine that can restore people's memory? If there was, uncle would want to take some! Isn't it?"

Shuisheng laughed, "Uncle Gu, brother Dalong, can you help me introduce a job? I'll go work. Maybe one day when I'm working, I'll be moved by the scene, and I'll be able to remember who I am. Then

Can I make a decision when the time comes? Marriage is a major event in life and should not be hasty or trivial, otherwise I would be really sorry for Sister Dongmei and Brother Dalong who saved me! I hope you can understand!"

As he spoke, Shui Sheng bowed deeply to the two Xu siblings and thanked them again for saving him. Hearing what Shui Sheng said, Xu Dongmei admired this young man even more. He was considered a kind and righteous person!

Xu Dalong patted Shuisheng on the shoulder and said with satisfaction: "Shui Sheng, I didn't notice, but you have quite some ideas. So what do you do? It seems that there is no place in our village where you can display your talents! If you want to find something,

For work, at least you have to go to the town, but Yanshan Town, the nearest town to our village, is hundreds of miles away!"

Uncle Gu thought for a while and asked: "Shui Sheng, if you come from a wealthy family, you should be literate, right? Since the old scholar passed away, no one has taught in our village. Our village is short of a teacher."

If you are literate and can teach, I will tell the village chief tomorrow that it would be good for you to become a teacher in our village!"

Shuisheng thought for a while and said happily: "I seem to remember some poems, so I should be literate!" Aunt Gu hurried home and brought some enlightenment books such as "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic"

Shui Sheng took a look at these books and laughed, "This couldn't be simpler!" So he chatted with a few people about the contents of these books. Everyone was overjoyed. It turned out that Shui Sheng was still a human being.

A literate scholar!

Uncle Gu patted Shuisheng on the shoulder, "Boy, since you can read and write, this matter will be easy to handle! I will tell the village chief tomorrow that you will stay in our village to teach the children to read and read.

Our poor valley has only produced one scholar in a hundred years! Although everyone is digging for food in the mountains and in the soil, if we can really produce a scholar, or even a master, it will be a matter of honor for our ancestors!"

Early the next morning, Uncle Gu ran to the village chief Lu Ergen and introduced Shui Sheng's situation to Lu Ergen. When Lu Ergen heard the news, he was also overjoyed.

Since the old scholar passed away two years ago, the children in the village have no books to read. If this continues, in a few years they will all be as illiterate and blind as their parents, and they will never be able to leave this poor ravine. Lu Ergen

Just when I was worried about this matter, who would have thought that a private school teacher would suddenly fall from the sky? How could I not be happy?

Lu Ergen thought about it for a while, but felt uneasy. He chewed his teeth and asked, "Lao Gu, as the saying goes, if you have no hair on your lips, you won't be able to do things well. A teenage hairy doll, he is still a child himself, how can he really do that?"

Have you taught the dolls well?"

Uncle Gu smiled and said: "Lao Lu, just don't worry. Yesterday I found two books and asked him for advice. Although this kid Shuisheng has lost his memory and can't remember who he is or his family, but

I can guarantee that based on this child's knowledge, he must have been a scholar at the very least!"

After hearing what Uncle Gu said, Lu Ergen slapped his thigh and said with satisfaction: "Okay, Lao Gu, this matter is up to you. It's settled. Tomorrow, let him go to the ancestral hall in our village to teach these children."

Read and learn to read! In the evening, I will play gongs and drums and gather all the young and old men in the village to the courtyard to explain this matter to everyone! How about asking Shui Sheng to come and let the old and young men take a look? "
Chapter completed!
