Zhang Xiulan raised her head, held the basket, and turned around with Wuya, leaving the woman lying on the ground and screaming.
Turning around, I saw the Xu Yinyin siblings and hurriedly greeted them, "I wonder why you guys have been gone so long? I have already dug the wild vegetables and am waiting for you! I almost got robbed by a shameless person!"
Xu Yinyin looked at the two women over there, then at her mother, and murmured in her heart.
The four of them went home together. On the way, Xu Yinyin brought up the topic she talked about last time without giving up, "Mom, why don't you scold me."
Zhang Xiulan looked at her and said, "Why am I scolding you? Ever since you were a child, when have you ever seen me scold you?" To scold such an obedient and worry-free girl, how sick is her brain?
"No, why do you always want me to scold you?"
Wuya also glanced at Xu Yinyin strangely.
Xu Yinyin paused: "It's okay to scold Liu Lang."
Zhang Xiulan glanced at her son who was speechless, and then saw her daughter staring at her seriously. She opened her mouth, closed it, and opened it again, "Why should I scold him? He didn't mess with me now, and I don't know why.
Scold?"
Xu Dajun: Should he be glad that his mother is not the kind of person who scolds him casually?
Just when she thought this, Xu Yinyin came over and said, "Try to mess with her."
Xu Dajun:......
This is his sister, dear!
Fine.
Xu Dajun took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Xiulan, "Mom, your face is pockmarked, so ugly."
Zhang Xiulan stared.
"Mom, why are you staring at me? Are you crazy?"
Although she knew that her stinky son did it on purpose, Zhang Xiulan was so angry that she couldn't help but slap him on the back of his head, opened her mouth and cursed:
"You brat, who are you calling ugly? You're not ugly. Get some water first and look at you for looking like a bear! You're like a monkey juggling on the street! Who's crazy? I think you have such a brain.
He’s seriously ill!”
Xu Yinyin stared at Xu Dajun with a good look. As soon as her mother finished scolding, the next second, as if there were hands pushing behind her, Xu Dajun suddenly stepped on her left foot and right foot, tripping to the ground and dragging her behind.
A bundle of firewood he was holding also fell on him.
Xu Yinyin raised her eyebrows, and there was a light in her eyes.
This was not over yet. The four of them went home and entered the courtyard gate. The old hens in the courtyard were pecking for food and ran past Xu Dajun. By chance, they pooped on Xu Dajun's feet.
Xu Yinyin couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
Xu Dajun glanced at her resentfully, and he knew that it would be bad if he had to scold her.
Zhang Xiulan also realized later that something was wrong.
Those who put wild vegetables put out wild vegetables, and those who put out firewood put out firewood. After a while, the three women gathered on the slope behind the house.
"Yinyin, what's going on?"
Four curious eyes.
Xu Yinyin touched her chin, "Preliminary estimate is that my golden finger is related to swearing."
Zhang Xiulan was slightly stunned, "Do I have a golden finger?"
At first, she waited for a few days, but there was no movement. She thought she had no golden finger, and her heart dropped. Suddenly, you told her that she also had a golden finger?
"Swearing at others counts as a cheat?"
Xu Yinyin said: "Mom, you didn't notice. Outside Huahe County, the women you pointed at and cursed inexplicably tripped or were beaten by your accomplices, as well as the two women just now."
"That's why I asked Xu Dajun to verify the scolding. Sure enough, mother, you scolded him and he tripped over without telling him. The hen still pooped on his feet. He was still able to go up this slope just now.
I'm slapping my chin on my feet!"
Xu Dajun touched his newly bruised chin with a resentful look in his eyes, "No wonder Xu Yinyin, you insist on asking me to scold you. You already know, right? You're asking me to experiment!"
Xu Yinyin spread her hands, "There's nothing I can do, mother doesn't scold me."
Xu Dajun turned his head away angrily and broke off the relationship for five minutes.
Zhang Xiulan looked in disbelief: "So whoever I scold is unlucky?"
"At present, it seems like this." Xu Yinyin nodded.
After a pause, Zhang Xiulan clapped her hands and said with a smile: "This golden finger is great! From now on, I will scold anyone I don't like! Let her have bad luck!"
Xu Dajun immediately looked over nervously, "Mom, can you please stop scolding me in the future?"
Zhang Xiulan glanced at him and said, "Let's see how you behave! Your father told you to study hard. If you don't study hard, I will scold you three hundred times a day."
Xu Yinyin continued, "More than just studying hard, mother, let him take the imperial examination, be a scholar, and be a successful candidate. It is best to be a Jinshi. I will earn you a royal life and make you a royal wife. Otherwise, you can scold him hard."
Doubt life."
Zhang Xiulan looked like her daughter was right, "Okay!"
Xu Dajun: "You are not my mother and sister! Absolutely not!"
The mother and daughter looked over at the same time, and Zhang Xiulan said: "Well, I never told you that I picked you up from the trash can."
Xu Dajun:......
…
Xu Yinyin wanted to take a bath and wash her hair, but she couldn't help Xu Dajun to fetch water. Before he started fetching water, Xu Dalang and Xu Erlang took the job away.
A pot of water was boiling hot and had to be mixed with cold water before it could be used. Buckets of water were carried to the latrine. Mrs. Xu sat under the eaves and watched. Xu Yinyin cleverly squeezed in after Xu Dajun finished washing and carried the water.
I walked into the latrine and watched her come out of the bath and wash her hair over and over again, humming a few times.
He waved Xu Dajun over and started to dry his hair, "Liu Lang, it was your fourth sister who encouraged you to wash your hair and take a bath, right?"
Xu Dajun immediately shook his head and said, "I have to wash my milk myself. I have to go to school to study. My head is covered with lice and my body still smells. Who is willing to sit with me? People in the city are very particular. I don't care about this.
If it’s clean, it’ll be a joke to others!”
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu thought it made sense, but said, "Then why should Si Ya take a shower? She doesn't go to school. I'm also surprised. She has always been lazy and inactive. When she was not short of water before,
, she would hide when I asked her to clean herself, she is not even used to washing her face and feet, why are she so diligent and clean all of a sudden? "
Xu Dajun said nonsense seriously: "You don't know, my dear, the fourth sister is doing this all for me."
Mrs. Xu couldn't understand, "What do you mean?"
"I'm going to study the family lineage of the Fang family soon. All my future classmates will also be sons and daughters of the Fang family. The Fang family is a big clan, as you know. Although we are not as good as others, we have to be clean, right? What if?
At that time, my classmate was going to visit our house. My fourth sister was born to the same parents as me. She looks slovenly. That would be a disgrace to me!"
Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, is that so?
Well, that's it. The Fang family is a wealthy family, which is different from the farmers' families like them. If Liulang can enter the Fang family's family school, it will be for the sake of his brother-in-law, and he will be handed over to the Fang family's son-in-law in the future.
Classmates and friends, that’s a good thing, it’s just that they can’t do anything else at home, but at least they have to let others see that their family members are all tidied up, right?
Otherwise, it would be quite shameless.
Mrs. Xu took two steps forward, opened her mouth and shouted to Ma's sisters-in-law in the kitchen room, "Boil more water! Everyone in our family should wash up too!"
Wait until you wash away the old lumps and lice from not bathing or washing your hair for more than half a year, and then wash them once a month?
Well, in winter, this is already a lot of work, right?
Mrs. Xu nodded and decided happily. She must be clean and not hold Liu Lang back!
