When the three of them returned to the shack, it was already dark.
Zhang Yu disemboweled the freshly hunted pheasant, chopped it, threw it into the pot, and fried a dry-fried chicken.
There was nothing to do in the evening. The two of them had a good drink with the old man. They drank all the remaining Daqu. The old man took out the scorpion wine he had brewed and drank a glass of it for each of them. This stuff is a great tonic.<
/p>
After drinking and eating, the two said goodbye to the old man and walked down the mountain. They each went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
When Zhang Yu was about to reach the door of his house, he saw a person sitting at the door of his house, holding a long bar in his hand.
I took a closer look and thought, oh, here I go, isn’t this my dear mother?
Looking at Zhang Yu's drunken appearance, Zhang's mother jumped up, stood up from the stool, and took a long stick and whipped it on Zhang Yu's body.
Zhang Yu wanted to hide, but he drank too much and his body couldn't keep up with his brain. He made all the predictions and took every hit perfectly.
Thanks to the heavy winter weather, Zhang Yu wore thick clothes, otherwise he would have been lying on the ground touching small coins by now.
"Mom, mom, oh, don't fight, oh, don't fight, I don't dare anymore, I will never drink again."
Zhang Yu held his head and kept wailing, trying to awaken Zhang's maternal love.
Where are you going? The evil fire in Zhang Ma’s heart has not been dissipated yet, why is it still necessary?
"Dad, eldest brother, sister-in-law, second sister, third sister, come and save me quickly, I'm going to be beaten to death by mother."
If anyone in the family dares to move forward now, they are causing trouble for themselves, and they should be ignored and ignored.
My family can't tell me what to do, but my neighbors are having a headache due to the noise.
Quickly open the door and come out to persuade.
"Okay, stop howling, I'll make you so noisy."
"Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, it doesn't matter if you hit her a few times, how can you beat her to death?"
The aunt next door reached out to hold Zhang's mother and winked at Zhang Yu, "Why are you still hanging around here? Why don't you go home quickly.
Zhang Yu crawled back home and hid in his room.
……
"Sister-in-law, what do you think you are doing? Xiaoyu is such a good child, how could you beat him like this?"
"When a child gets older, he knows what he's doing. If you think he's doing something wrong, you can just complain about it, but you can't do anything about it."
With the comfort of her aunt, Zhang's mother's anger was extinguished, and then she started complaining.
"Sister, you don't know, this kid has been drinking like a bear for two days in a row. I just gave him a bad rap this morning."
"I originally thought I could take care of it for two days, but who would have thought that I would not be angry if I drank like this tonight."
"It's so cold in this winter. If he lies in the snow and falls asleep, I'll give the white-haired man a black-haired man."
Auntie quickly covered Zhang Ma’s mouth.
"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about?"
"It's the end of the year, if you can't say something nice, how can you curse your own son?"
"I'm not talking about you, Xiaoyu hasn't been back for so many years. It's normal for you to have two drinks with friends your own age."
"Besides, Sanzi and the others won't let Xiaoyu come back if he really drinks too much. If he can come back, it means he hasn't drunk too much yet."
"Oh, I have to let Xiaoyu circle around you to comply with your wishes."
Auntie is also a sweet-tempered person, and her few words can go straight to Zhang Ma’s heart.
Zhang’s mother was also left speechless.
"Okay, okay, sister-in-law, you should go back quickly. If you have anything to discuss, please don't make a move."
In this cold weather, my aunt is a little bit unable to hold on. After all, she crawled out of bed. She can't bear it, she can't bear it.
I quickly closed the courtyard door and went back to the house to sleep.
Zhang Ma stood for a while, then closed the courtyard door and returned to the house.
Everyone in the room saw Zhang Ma coming in, so they didn't stay any longer and went back to the room one after another.
Zhang Ma sat on the stool for a while, reflecting on what she had done these days.
When Zhang Ma was reflecting, Zhang Yu secretly opened a crack and saw Zhang Ma sitting silently on the stool.
Thinking that Zhang Ma was still angry with him, he quickly sat next to Zhang Ma.
"Mom, please don't be angry, okay? I know I was wrong. Don't get so angry because of me."
Zhang's mother glanced at Zhang Yu, stretched out her hand, and rubbed Zhang Yu's hair.
"Okay, Mom is not angry anymore. I think I shouldn't have hit you just now. I want to apologize to you."
"Can you tell mom, where did you go today and who did you drink with?"
"Today the younger one and I went up the mountain to find Grandpa. Grandpa took us up the mountain to hunt. We drank a little too much in the evening."
"But I promise, I will never drink again."
Zhang Yu was afraid that Zhang Ma would not believe him, so he raised his hand to swear, but Zhang Ma stopped him.
"Okay, don't swear, I believe you."
"It's right for you to visit your father. He has been thinking about you for a long time. Ever since you entered the city, you seem to have lost all energy."
"In just three years, the old man has aged very fast. Every time your father goes up the mountain to visit him, the old man misses you."
"My mother made the mistake of blaming you."
Zhang’s mother also thought about it. When her children are older, they should have their own life circle. As a mother, you must learn to let go appropriately.
"Okay, kid, it's getting late. You should go back to the house and rest."
"Mom is also sleepy, so she went back to the house first."
Zhang Ma rubbed Zhang Yu's hair, got up and went back to her room.
Zhang Yu was a little surprised by what Zhang Ma said just now. Zhang Ma, for such a strong person, was actually apologizing to himself just now.
……
The next day.
Zhang's mother went to the tailor shop early in the morning, planning to use the cloth stamps brought back by Zhang Yu to cut some pieces of cloth to make new clothes for her family.
Speaking of new clothes, my family has not had any new clothes for many years.
There are only so many work points each year. If you can maintain your family's expenses every year, it is good. If you can buy some meat for the New Year, you are considered wealthy.
Fortunately, my younger son is now doing well and doing well in the city. When he came back this time, he seemed to be blessed. He went hunting in the mountains and actually killed a wild boar.
What Zhang Ma likes more is to listen to the villagers praising her son. Every time she hears it, she feels proud in her heart.
Of course, there are also many people who are jealous of the Zhang family.
"Brothers and sisters, I heard that your youngest son is back?"
"Hey, it's the Qin family's sister-in-law."
"Yes, my son has been back for a while. I heard that your eldest daughter is also back?"
That's right, the person who spoke is Qin Huairu's mother.
Originally, Qin's mother was not envious, because her daughter married into the city and is now a worker in Shougang Factory, earning more than 20 yuan a month.
But when I heard that the Zhang family's son was also living in the city, and even rode a bicycle back.
Mother Qin's heart suddenly became unbalanced. It happened that her daughter had also come back in the past few days. Mother Qin took her daughter and asked if what happened about the boy from the Zhang family was true.
Qin Huairu heard it was Zhang Yu.
"Mom, what you heard is true. Zhang Yu is so awesome now."
"Some time ago, I was promoted to level four worker, and now my salary is more than fifty yuan."
"There is another, very powerful master, but I can't compare with him."
Mentioning Zhang Yu, Qin Huairu was full of emotions. There was such a capable person in the courtyard, but he couldn't see or touch him.
Qin Huairu still remembers what Master Ma warned him at the time, that some brows should not be touched, otherwise he would not be able to predict what would happen next.
